never able even to contemplate
giving them a college education be-
cause of the hard times" of the beer
days made it impossible, are today
sending their children to college.
In many cases it is the first time
any member of their families ever
attempted to acquire a real educa-
ton. They are frequently lacking
in manners and are not always we'll
instructed in morals. And so our
colleges find themselves having to
deal with new type Of rowdy, with
the bully and the high spender and
the rounder.
These evils are real evils and we
could modify them by returning to
the saloon. Also it is possible to
cure a headache with carbolic acid,
taken internally in copious doses.
On the whole, however. perhaps we
had better stand the headache for
few years. even if it gives US
jumpy nerves. Eventually it will
wear itself out. Also let us not for
get the billions represented by new
savings accounts, the homes where
a new prosperity has meant peace
and quiet and happiness.

Old Red Rooster Guess I'll go
into the barn for the hoe" and
away he went on his yellow toes for
the garden hoe and his work-a-da
clothes.
BY and by, after breakfast was
over, the little rabbit thought he'd
make a call on Uncle Lucky. Kiss
ing Lady Love, his pretty mother
goodbye, he hoped out on the Sunny
Meadow and up the Old Cow Path.
Where are you going?" asked
Jimmie Meadowmouse. peeking out
of his little round grass-ball house,
which he had made by weaving to-
gether the tops of the meadow grass.
"Over to Uncle Lucky's," answer
ed the bunny boy. hitching up his
knapsack and swinging his red
striped candy cane on his left paw.
THE Old Red Rooster has come over
to weed Mothers flower garden.
Guess I'll go over and help Uncle
Lucky"
Zone good turn deserves another,
Isn't that SO, bunny brother?"
sang the little meadowmouse from
his tiny front doorway.
Maybe l can do an errand for
Uncle Lucky" answered the little
rabbit, hopping away. clipperty clip,
lipperty lip. You see. little reader,
Jimmie Meadowmouse had sown the
seed for a kindly deed in the little
rabbits heart. Yes. he had made
the bunny boy stop to think for a
minute. And when YOU stop to
think you often feel just like doing
something for someone. Thought
less people don't mean to be unkind
They just don't stop to think.
BY and by, the little rabbit came
to the Shady Forest. Pausing
beneath a tree, he let his knapsack
slip to the ground and wiggled his

catch any smell of danger that Billy
Breeze might bring to him. Billy
Breeze, you know is just as good as

Genuine Prohibition Evils


To be frankly honest about it,
prohibition has brought in it's wake
many evils. These evils 1--WE may
comfort ourselves) do not menace
the country as did the evils of the
licensed liquor traffic, but truth COM
pels us to recognize their existence.
For instance, the unexampled pros
perity of the motion picture in
dustry is attributable to prohibit
ton. The financial bloat of queer
Hollywood characters, their spec
tacular misbehavior, the incidental
evils of undue attendance upon the
picture theatre, all of these are at
tributable in considerable part to the
new ability of the people to spend
money on amusement. But at least
the people who attend the picture
shows are not attending the saloons.
Then there is the evil of prize
nghting. Here once again we see
the results of prohibition. The half
million dollar purses of Boyle S
Thirty Acres and the Polo Grounds
come from pockets unraided by the
saloon keeper. 1t is true that a
large portion of prizefght patrons
are perhaps bootleg patrons, but
this is somewhat casual with them.
We must acknowledge that the
fiourishing character of the prize
hight graft" is due in a consider
able degree to the prohibition law,
Then there is the deadening eff
feet upon many lives of new
prosperity. Literally millions of
people who never before had an
extra dollar today have surplus
money which experience has given
them no ability to handle. The
money burns their pockets. They
feel they simply MUST spend it and
in order to do so they whirI fever
ishly about indulging in folly and
worse
Another great evil of prohibition is
the fact that it is responsible for
many new educational problems.
Our colleges are over-b urdened as
never before by the influx of new
population. Nor is crowding the
only evil our colleges must face.
new type of student is coming.

Argentina totaling $22s.ooo. 900. about

possibilities Of a large extension Of

bilities, as that of the presidency Of
the United States. In observing the
habit, which we believe has long
been his, of keeping himself in the
best physical condition that his
position and his duties will permit,
Mr.. Coolidge sets an example to
every citizen. He also sets his fell
low New Englanders the example
of never fidgetting-an example that
some of us need to follow. We are
fast coming, as a people, to the
opinion of the Chinese that the
doctor ought to be paid to keep us
well, and not compensated merely
for reducing he aches which we
ought not to have at all, or for re-
moving portions of our body which
have become diseased or atrophied
through abuse or disuse. And let
us give the medical fraternity high
praise for this: They are proud
and happy not only to be able to
keep their patients well, but to keep
the community we'll. No convention
of physicians, no copy of a medical
journal, is without some word or
proceeding directed toward the
eradication of disease-that is
toward furthering a state of things
when doctors will scarcely be need
ed save for the purpose of warding
off troubles. Every year they find
some disease to be preventable, and
then proceed to use their influence
to prevent it. Ill
Meanwhile, for a. President who
has been endowed iby his fathers
with a good constitution, who
has toughened that constitution
and knitted his frame by means
of an active, regular and abstemious
life, and who now, under the in
tense strain of the most laborious
public post on earth, keeps watch
and ward over his strength, we may
as citizens, all be grateful.

'In Good Physical Shape

President Coolidge, accompanying
his father to the hospital in order
that the older man might have a
thorough physical examination, and
then deciding to take one himself.
exhibits leading characteristic of
the prudent citizen and sagacious
public servant. The precaution
which the President observed re-
garding the stalwart Colonel John
Coolidge was filial: that with which
he had himself looked over ther-
oughly by the doctors was publicly
useful as well as personally sensible.
That the examination in his case
should have resulted. as 1t did. in a
verdict of Sin good physical shape"
from the physicians, is less a mat
ter for felicitation to the President
himself than it is for the whole
country.
1t is trait Of Yankee prudence to
keep oneself we'll looked after in the

duty, and doubly is it the duty of
