who ever heard Of a Doheny ap-
preaching a Democratic Cabinet
member? He may be Democrat
himself, but he knew better than
to approach a Dempcrat. He knew
where to CO."
It is not unlikely that Senator
Stanley Is sorry now that he per.
mitted his enthustic regard for
the Democratic party and his an
tagonism to all things Republican
to run away with him: He didn't
mean it, of course, because as a
sensible man he knows there really
isn't any difference between the
morals Of a Democrat and the
morals Of a Republican.
Senator Stanley knew this even
before Mr.. Doheny himself answered
the question the Senator asked on
the floor Of the Senate chamber.
But when the first stunning shock
that came when the cap blew off of
Teapot Dome had spent itself Demo
Gratis began to sit up and take no
tice Of the fact that here was a
gusl1er Of scandal that might mean
publicans and put back in the White
Joy Was Premature.
And so Senator Stanley and other
Democrats undertook to broadcast
the news that all evils Of govern
ment in these United States came
from Republican sources while all
the virtues that lie in government
could be found only with the Demo
Gratis.
And they were getting along
with it pretty well until yesterday
morning, and then another gusher
came in and it scattered its gobs
Of oil over the Democrats.
The news of this second gusher
came over from the committee
room in the Senate Office Build
ing in dribletS to the Senate cham.

come of the dead and wounded on

Written for Cosmopolitan News Service.
Healthy, vigorous children, who
will become healthy and vigorous
men and women, are the most
valuable asset of our Nation.
Health is coming to be generally
recognized as an essential and pri-
mary objective Of education.
What can the schools do to pro-
duce healthy children? They can
provide healthful surroundings
that will promote, not menace, the
health of children. They can give
instruction in matters of health
and recognize the fact that in
struction is of little value unless it
functions in habit of healthy be-
havior. The schools can teach
physical education in such a way
that children's bodies and minds
will reach a maximum of beauty
and efficiency. The schools can
cooperate with parents, through
parent-teacher associations in the
great work of growing healthy chill
dren.
Cooperation is High.
But no school, even when supple.
mented by parental cooperation dur
ing the school child's life, can pro.
duce physical and mental health in
the school child unless the founda-
tons for that health have been laid
by the parent before the child's en-.
trance into school.
There would be little necessity to
expend time or money on remedial
work that now constitutes the
major part Of school health work
in many localities, Though this in
itself is worthy of consideration, II
the child were made ready to enter
school, during the preschool period,
before 1t is too late to lay founda.
tons Of either physical or mental
health.
Do you know that sound or de-
fective teeth depend on the child's
nutrition before birth and during
the child's first months Of life? Do
you realize that the groundwork of
child's character Is formed by
the time he is four years of age?
And do you also realize that the
child's mental attitudes and re.
actions to circumstances affect his
physical health and well-being?
More Thought Needed. Z
Parents, we know, are interested
In the health and well-being of their
children; some are even too anx.
ious in this respect. What we need
is that parents shall be not anxious,
but earnest, thoughtful and intel
ligent In respect to the health Of
school children.
When parents are really con-
WINGED OF the great Importance to
our nation Of a vigorous, healthy
stock, nothing can prevent these
parents doing everything in their
power to make the children of our
nation healthy, vigorous, and capa-
BILE Of endurance.

port from the proposed extension
Of the Ball rent act, which expires
in May.
Sees Inequalities Here.
On the other hand, taking into
consideration the inequality between
the wages of Federal employees and
prevalent high rents, the President
is inclined to believe that the Gov
eminent has a certain responsibility
toward Washington, and should ia
some way protect its workers from
unreasonable rentals.
This information was given by a
White House spokesman yesterday.
The President, 1t was said, viewed
the District Rent Commission. ere.
ated under the Ball act, as an ex.
cellent emergency body.
Supply and Demand.
At the present time, however, 1t
might be well, in the Presidents
judgment, to let the law OF supply
and demand govern the case, as
there are about SOB vacant houses
and apartments in the city.
These views are identical with
those expressed by Wardman on
Thursday when he called on Presi-
dent Coolidge. Wardman said he
championed the rent board in the
housing crisis, and still commended
its principle. but deemed it's useful.

Third DOWNTOWN
SAFE IS ROBBED
Regina Corporation Loses
S54 to Yeggmen,

While detectives still were inves-
tigating the Charles Holloway &
Sons Office and Solomon's restaurant
safe breakings of Sunday night. an
other looting OF a strong box in a
downtown building was reported to-
day.
James Mahon. 1103 n. Keystone
Ave, sales manager for the Regina
Corporation, 4S5 Century Bldg, said
S54.s6 was taken by yeggmen who
pried off the top of a small safe. The
robbers overlooked $500 in a lower
compartment. This job bore some
similarity to the Solomon robbery.
where a hole was chiselled in the
back of the safe.
Mahon said the fact that entrance
was gained by shaking a back win
dow, thereby unlocking it. led him
TO believe some one familiar with
the Office was involved in the rob-
berry.
