West and offers an opportunity for
young men to secure training in

The work in dairying includes
actual practice in the manufacture
of dairy products as well as a study
of the fundamental priciples in
volved in practical dairying.

Sixtieth Plan for Peace

Edward Bok's peace prize, whereby
the American who presents the best
practicable scheme for Americas par
ticipation in world peace will receive
100000 prize, is the sixtieth pro
posal of it's kind to be brought for
ward in GIT years.
Dante, Erasmus, Benjamin Frank
lin, William Penn, Grant-these are
just few of the great historical fig
ures who have pleaded for peace.
Franklin, by suggesting "a compact
of nations" sowed the seed of the
present League of Nations idea. But
as far back as the fourteenth century
an effort to obtain "the harmony oi
kingdoms" was made.
The go plans include only what
students of international affairs con
slider serious and well-thought-out
schemes for peace. According to one
writer, the world was never in more
receptive mood for the peace idea;
this, he says, accounts for the uni
versally favorable reception of the
great Box award.

In addition to this, his mental

Health Commissioner Advocates Ex.
aminations for Automo-
bIiSts
BY DR.. H. M. Read, King County
Commissioner of Health


Commissioners of Health
The psychology of reckless auto
mobile ur1vtng does not constitute a
mental condition to reckless automo-
bile driving only 1t can be easily
proven that any person who is reck-
less along any one line of human ac-
tivity is almost certain to be so to
a greater or less degree in all others.
Recklessness means rashness and
reckless person is always more or
less needless and thoughtless and in
different to the rights and privileges
of other people. Whether along line
of automobile driving or any other
human activity, such a person wants
to bend everyone to his comfort;
wants the best for himself; wants
everyone to get out of his way; is
selfish and reckless in everything
that he undertakes.
1t would be no trouble whatever
to substantiate this statement by a
very superficial analysis of their
condition. If you don't believe it,
the next time you meet with one of
these fat-heads who thinks it is
smart to go racing by other people
on country roads regardless of the
condition of the road, or racing by
street cars taking on and off passen-
gers in the city, or through crowd
ed traffic, if you know the person,
it is dollars to doughnuts that you
will find him the same type that
will elbow his way through crowds,
prodding you in the ribs with his

osTRlcHIsM IN DISEASE

The ostrich fools himself, of course
when he sticks his head into the
sand But people in disease also like
to fool themselves. They like to
pretend security in the presence OF
sven the. gravest danger. Indeed,
the graver the danger the greater the
pretense, as in cancer, tuberculosis
and the like.
How often the mother will say:
Nov, doctor, if you find anything
seriously the matter with daughter,
don't tell me; and, above all, don't
tell her. 1t will simply frighten her
to death" We imagine that ignor-
ance will excuse the law. We go on
the principle that what you don't
know won't hurt you"
Fear VS.. Disease
And we make a fetish of fear. We
fear that to fear disease will cause
the disease. Often the patient will
say: ooh, no, doctor, will not en-
tertain that thought" AS though en-
tertaining the thought would intro
duce the disease. Or as though ban
ishing the thought would Danish the
disease. The ostrich is not more
foolish.
Or we still seek security in bra
vado. We still beat the tom-tom.

streets of Paris were thronged with
gaily dressed men and women sing
