HOT LUNCH AND MILK
is PLAN FOR SCHOOL

Hot lunches at noon and milk at
recess for school children is a plan
which is being undertaken by the
Parent-Teacher Association of Ari-
zona. Such a measure has been ad-
vocated by the state health depart
ment for some time.
In other states similar programs
have been carried out with a great
deal of success in the sO-called open
air schools for tuberCulOqs and deli
cate children. The program of keep
ing children out of doors all of the
time and feeding them hot lunches
and milk at recess has proved of the
greatest possible benefit in promoting
health among the younger generation.
1t is the plan of the Parent-Teacher
Association not to limit this work to
the sick, realizing that prevention is
the best way Of attacking disease.
There is no question that children at
school could be fed more and if
given excellent food, they will be
far more resistant toward all infec-
tions and particularly toward tuber-
culosis in later years.
Practically all children receive
their primary infection with tuber-
culosis during school age or before
their twelfth year. Good nutrition
and good hygienic surroundings are
very vital factors in the prevention
and cure of the white plague; and
hot lunches and milk at recess will
go a long way in eradicating this as
well as. other forms of disease.

American Idealism

1t is sometimes averred that America has lost
the idealism that actuated our people during the
war. Because we did not enter the league of ma
tions some think that we have become sordid
and are groveling in selfish materialism unmind-
full of the rest of the world. This view is the re-
suit of a sort of mental strabismus. Because one
thing, that some people wanted, failed of reali-
cation, everything is wrong. 1t is false reason
ing. That we still possess some idealism, that we
are not utterly selfish, surely was demonstrated
in the answer to the needs of Japan, a brief time
ago. Our idealism is in working order still when
there is a valid claim for its manifestation. Our
relief for the famine-stricken in Russia and
China since the var is apparently forgotten by
those who bewail our departed idealism. We
still have idealism when there is ground for its
exercise.
The American people are able to discriminate
They are able to recognize the evidence of the
genuiness of the appeal. Sound business sense
is coupled with sympathy. 1t is the only kind
that does the greatest good to the greatest mum.
Der. At the same time we are wary of those who
will not help themselves.
Being idealistic and being easy are two en-
tirely different states. Europe berates us because
we refuse to take the role of the latter, though
they predicate their claim on the former. We
insist that business matters be handled in a
business way. We do not feel inclined to dis.
pense charity to those who might help them.
selves, but we are willing to reach in our pockets
to assist those placed where they cannot provide
for their wants. However, giving will not be
continued beyond the time when 1t ceases to be
deserved. Idealism could be foolishly dispensed
We doubt not that many Of the Japanese think
us idealistic or something equally as m
able when they reflect on the speed with which
we rushed relief to them. When there is n worthy
cause that calls for an exhibition of idealism
we are confident that it will be discovered that
there is n plentiful supply in America and that
it will manifest itself in tangible manner.

Sports and Prize Fighting

The Rev. Herbert Jump recently delivered a
sermon to the student body of the Michigan uni
versity on n text of college sports, and as he
warmed to this subject he broadened 1t to include
sports on the outside, which attract some pub
lie attention, and among them prize fighting.
He did not touch upon the financial features
that go with the prize ring but in the course of
his remarks did say:
"HThe prize fight is the nearest American sub
stitute for the gladiatorial arena of decadent
Rome. 1t is a carnival of animalism. 1t is a le-
galized spectacle of ferocity. 1t furnishes scenes
that no wise parent would ever want his child to
see. 1t fills the pages of our newspapers with the
sort of reading that hardly would commend our
nation to n chance visitor from another planet.
Prize fighting is a vastly different thing from
boxing. L am a believer in boxing and regard it
as one of the manifest of sports. But when boxing
has been prostituted TO the prize ring, it for
feits my approval. Have you ever realized pre-
cisely what a prize fight is? If not, think it over
for a moment, and decide whether it really e0-
hibits n very ennobling sporting ideal. In the
fight that recently drew a hundred thousand spe-
ctators and caused two continents to hang on
the word from the telegraph wire, the object of
each pugiist was, to kill his antagonist so skill
fully that he would be practically dead for nine
seconds, but yet not to kill him enough to de
prive the g~loating audience of the chance to SEQ
him all punched to death again in the next
round. The thrill of such n fight comes from the
fact that both men are playing with death every
instant. The superlative of bliss to the spectators

Which Cable?

The British government has a claim against
the United States government that has been
hanging fire ever since 1898. 1t is for damages
which resulted from the cutting of the Hong
Kong. Manila cable by Admiral then Commodore
Dewey, Immediately after the ballet of Manila
Bay. Within the ensuing few weeks representa-
tiyes of the United States will go to London to
appear before the British-American claims ar
bitration committee to argue the case in its final
adjudication.
1t is wondered if the Americans are proceed
ing to London with the facts in the case fully in
hand.
the American navy or Admiral Seymour of the
British navy was the person primarily respon-
sible for the severing of the cable?
There is a story in the annals of the navies
of the two countries to the effect that the Brit
ish admiral desiring to do the American com1uo-
dore a slight favor, gave him, at the time, a
timely hint. Twenty-Five years ago the tale was
acceptes as true and it doubtless was, and it is
no less true today, for men and officers of the
two navies, conversant with the facts are alive
today and would be pleased to testify, to the end
that Great Britain would forego her claim for
damage.
There were two cables running out of the city
of Manila. Commodore Dewey knew of only one
cable. That one he promptly cut. Immediately
after the battle Admiral Seymour boarded Com
modore Dewey's flagship, the Olympia. The two
exchanged the compliments of the quarter deck,
or whatever deck it was, and then the Comma
uore salu, "Admlral L nave cut the cable"
Whereat the British officer winked a know
ing wink at the American officer and said,
(Which cable, COMMODORE"
Nothing more was said. There was no need
of further conversation. Commodore Dewey thor
|oughly understood the language of the sea and
all other signs used in communication between
high naval officers.
Commodore Dewey simply ~grappled for the
second cable caught it up and promptly chopped
1t in two.
Accepting these things as facts, where does
the responsibility lie for cutting the second cable
and the resultant alleged damage? At the door
of the American commodore who actually did
the cutting or at the door of the British admiral
who apprised the American commodore of the
existence of the said second cable, of which he
was unaware, and who by divers and sundry
winks and grimaces then and there made, prac-
tically urged the said American commodore and
dared him, and otherwise reflected upon his,
the commodore's perspicacity?
1t is a sporting proposition. long enjoyed by
the officers of the two great navies and despite
the %solemnity that will envelop the London hear
ing of the case, if the facts are developed, no
damages will be assessed.

icism from certain quarters that college foot
ball is nothing but mass prize fighting the only
difference being that in one instance there are
two fighters and in the other case twenty-five
fighters. The supreme difference between foot
ball and the prize ring lies in the object of each
sport. In football the players try to do something
to the ball. In prize fighting the pugilist tries to
do up the other %pugilist. The moment that an Of
ficial discovers any player in a football uniform
trying prize-fighting methods on an opponent,
that player is brought up with a round turn. In
the college game it is not the law of the field to
annihilate the health and bodily comfort of the
fellow on the other side, but precisely this OBJ
ject lies in every fighters mind when he goes
into the ring.
"Life will never be lived greatly until we rise
above the level of merely animal instincts and
covet for our souls the higher things of the NOR
al and spiritual life. The spirit must rule the
animal; not the animal rule the spirit"

CASPER, THE WONDER CITY

$500 900 had been approved for the
erection OF additional buildings, and
at this time a $500. 900 junior high
school building was being con-
structed. There are $500 students
in the grade school of Casper and
over 500 in the high school.
The city has a splendid water
supply. an excellent sewer system.
and while they are behind in their
building program. this is explained
by the really phenomenal growth of
the city. 1t has been almost i'm
possible. according to Mr.. Gum, to
purchase a lot in the limits of the
city. since 1917.
Mr.. Gum is of tho opinion that

II II were not for a combination of
circumstances. He explained the
enormity OF the oil industry in the
state. stating hat his company In
and around Casper and the Salt
Creek fields employed over 81. 900
persons, and hat the Midwest pay
roll directly and indirectly affected
100. 900 persons. He stated that be-
fore the war China was using 65
per sent of the kerosene produced in
the state of Wyoming, and that
Germany was the greatest foreign
user of lubricants. Following the
war England withdrew her support
from China, and consequently China
has been unable to purchase her
normal supply Of kerosene and other
by-products of oil. and Germany
cannot purchase anything. Thus
the best markets for the greatest
Wyoming product are destroyed.
and the Midwest company alone is
forced to store millions and millions
Of barrels of crude oil in the state.
From this oil they al only find a
market for gasoline. with the result
that the gasoline market is flooded.

story of Casper is to be commended
for its truthfulness and its con-
servativeness.
After stating that the people of
Casper. in his opinion. had every
reason for believing that the city
would have a population Of SO. 900
within the next few years, the
Kemmerer story continues:
Mr.. Gum stated that a recent
survey conducted by the Telephone
company disclosed that there were
over $4,000 people within the cor

in addition to this there are $500
persons in the town of Mills, which
