TIE BIGGEST WAR

Whether there will be another "World War in
this century is uncertain But thing is There
will be a tremendous war participated in by all clv-
ized mankind against insects. 1t is said by scientists
that these mans greatest enemies.
Humans outnumbered by them million to
one, billion to Many of the insects are
beneficient but of them, perhaps pernic-
ous destroying food and carrying disease and threat
ening the very existence of the race. They to
grow boder and more resourceful with the growth
of human civilization They adapt themselves to new
conditions They make massed attacks food
stuffs laboriously produced for human They
threaten the determination of trees and plants that
have held their own hitherto for thousands mil
lions of years If race ever does succumb a
sstless enemy, insects may hold sway the earth.
Fortunately such dreadful outcome is not prob
able. The insects have advantage in numbers and
capacity for multiplication, but lack human ingenuity.
New ways Of fighting them being devised continu
ally
Merely letting the wild BIRDS live means as much
in this war as the entrance of America meant in the
European war The birds are our best allies. Poison
and starvation effective weapons, employed more
inteigently the progresses. Powerful alll-
made, too, with parasitic insects and germs
that destroy the destroyers
Even the boil weevi and the corn borer the two
pests now doing most damage in this country, not
onlnipoent any than Germans were. But the
war against them and their pesky little brethren de-
mands thought, effort and money than have yet
been expended for that purpose.
Civilized nations might win this quickly
and conclusively as the Allies won the recent
against Germany, if they applied to that end the money
and effort they devoting, in time Of peace to war
preparations against each other.

THE FRIENDLY "COP"

In a bit of sound advice to parents a large church
federation urges them cultivate acquaintance with
the patrolman, precinct police captain prohibition
officer playground supervisor and other officials in
contact with child life of the community These peo-
pie tell the parents mach about neighbOrhood con-
dtons and will usually be glad to cooperate with par
ents in maintaining safe and wholesome community.
The policeman who directs traffic at the school
crossing usually gets to know the children pretty we'll
1t is not thing at such places in many towns,
big little, to group of laughing children cling
ing to the officers hands or his coat tails and to
him give them a farewell pat the shoulder and

while he holds back vehicular traffic.
It is great improvement that other sight of
children running to hide when they see a policeman
walking in their direction. When the cop" is pictured

him chance, there is little opportunity for the best
sort Of safety work The patrolman and the probation
officer and the playground supervisor the child

for having these officials. They give outside the
sort of wise and waehful guidance that is given the

it may be frowned by Emily Post and other arbters
of social elegance, has venerable precedents Many
of our greatest national heroes blew and guped their
coffee in that sefsame style, without reproach For

against race degeneracy.

DR.. Holmes predicted dark fu-
ture for America if religion and
science did not cooperate III check
ing the birth of imbeciles. The
sub-normal and feeble minded men
and women breed more extensively
than the more intelligent classes. he
said, and the higher classes of peo-
pie hardly produce enough children
to keep their stock in existence.
Whether the human race was
evolved from ape-like ancestors or
descended from perfect parents
made by the Almighty from the dust
of the earth is mooted question.
The significant fact is that we are
here and we now recognize the
possibilities of developing strong
