A SUGGESTION FROM TORONTO.

Over in Toronto, Canada people are just
like they are in Kenosha. They fail to take
interest in the most vital things in the COM
nunity and the other day the principal of one
of the schools of Toronto decided that he was
tired of giving tests to school children and de-
cided to put on test for parents of the chill
dren who went to school.
) He prepared a list of questions and sent one
to every home in Toronto. He did not copy
right them and they can be used by any school
principal in Kenosha 1t is probable that a
lot of Kenosha people will not be able to pass
the examinations, but it will be worth some
thing to have a chance to try. Here are the
questions that the Toronto principal put to the
parents. See how many of them you can an
swer intelligenty and how high-grade you can
get:
l. Do you visit The school to inquire about
your child's progress and department and to
see if you can help the teacher to help the
child?
z Do you encourage your child in respect
for teachers and others in authority?
g. Doyou send your child to bed in time so
that he will be rested and fit for study?
4. Do you provide plain, nourishing food
and see that your child is up in time to eat
good breakfast?
5. Do you teach your child to read the pa
pers and find out the best in them, and do you
encourage an interest in public affairs?
{ g. Do you avoid gossip and the telling of
incidents which may be misinterpreted by
your children?
II z. Do you encourage helpful conversation
at the table?
8. Do you interest yourself in your child's
sports and amusements and friendships?
Z 9. Do you comply with the rules of public
health in your home, and do you keep in mind
the fact that while the school may do much to
instill the right principles, your children are
handicapped if you do not support it, by instil-
ing obedience and high ideals of patriotism
and personal life?

Fables On Health
REGIILAR SLEEP.


"That child certainly does Sleep"
Mr.. Mann would observe as he tiptoed
into the room.
eyes, thank goodness" Mrs. Mann
would echo. eve don't have much
trouble in that direction"
But there are many who do.
The active, playful child needs a
great deal of sleep and rest-the more
the better.
The minimum amount of sleep that
statisticians allow for children from
two to four years is IL hours. And
from four to six, II hours.
Sleep and rest insure a greater re-
sistance when fitness comes. Also it
helps to retain weight and increase it..
Children who get insufficient sleep are
soon likely to show it through losses
in weight. Fatigue is also likely to
follow, with loss of appetite, irrita-
.bility and nervousness.
The child should have it's own bed
in the open, if possible, or in a well
ventilated room. A daytime nap
should be insisted upon, and there
should be great regularity in the time
of this nap as well as in the child's
bedtime.
Be sure to make your child keep
regular sleeping hours, and get the
habit yourself.

WORKING FOR So CENTS A DAY

Wages in Germany now range from SO cents
to $1.09 day. So reports Colonel Leonard P.
Ayres, banker and internationally known stat
istician. who was member of the Dawes rep
arations committee
Your first thought is: Il wouldn't want to
be over there working for that"
The low wage in Germany, nevertheless, af-
fects you here in America-affects all of us.
For high American wages and low German
wages come in competition with each other
when the things they make go out to find for
eign trade markets.
That is why the restoration of German inan-
ces to normal level is extremely important
to all of us. It's important for PREPARATIONS,
also for getting the world balanced better in
the international markets.
Many British bankers believe that the Unit
ed States is on the eve of gold imitation period
and they are willing to help it along in the be-
lief that we will buy great quantities of Brit
ish goods, despite any high tariff.
That's another idea brought back from
abroad by Colonel Ayres.
Think it over. Maybe we shouldn't rejoice
so loudly at cornering the lions share of the
worlds gold. The danger of this gold sky
rocketing our cost of living Chased on gold)
has been worrying able economists for several
years.
An even greater danger is the possibility
that European nations will discard gold as a
basis of money and, in it's place, substitute a
more scientific measure such as units of human
energy.
The value of gold, after all, is mainly mag
mary, not logical.

CRIME.

A Chicago man, accused of $780,
900 swindle, is quoted as Indignantly
protesting to the court: what, me
take 80 grand! Not me, judge. l don't
waste my time unless there's hun
dred thousand bucks in it"
It is sometimes much safer to steal
a million than So, unfortunately,
when it comes to the law and punish
ment. But the law doesn't make the
distinction. It's just that the rich
thief can afford an army of crafty
lawyers able to find loopholes or de-
lay the case. The small-time. crook
isn't able to hire such. an array of

Proposes Mills to
Solve Unemployment

Honolulu.-The establishment of a
wooden mill here, to relieve Hawaii's
present and prospective lack of en-
ployment, has been suggested to ter
ritorial and municipal authorities by
Sheridan L. Busby, retired wool
grower of Montana, who has resided
here in Honolulu several years.
The suggestion came as the result
of a recent conference of police and
other officers on the unemployment
situation and its concomitants, juven-
lie delinquency and criminal;ty, and
the need for diversified industries to
furnish employment to persons who
do not care to work on the sugar
plantations and are idle except for
the. seasonal activities of the pineap-
pie planters and Gamers.
Establishments of a silk factory
which might receive raw silk from
Japan at a considerably less freight
cost than is necessary to New York
or other mainland factories to manu-
facture and ship the products to the
mainland, also was suggested.
Busby said that wooden mill would
be a safer and more profitable invest
ment and would be more efficacious
in solving the unemployment prob
| lem, as it would provide more oppor-
tunity for unskilled labor than silk
factory. He pointed out that Aus
tralia produces some of the finest wool
| in the world and said every mainland
bound steamer from the Antipodes
carries large cargo of this commodi-
ty, which is landed on the Pacific
coast and shipped overland by rail.

THE PEOPLE ARE FAIR.

1t is the same love of justice which impels
right-thinking Americans to desire that the
government be ruthlessly cleansed of every
faint and trace of corruption which also pre-
vents them from condemning men without a
fair trial, from taking irresponsible rumor for
truth and to measure the accused and the wit
ness by the same standards of character and
possible motive.
1t is all too easy to give away to an emotion
to sweep the country, to acquiesce in the hasty
lament that the whole government is rotten.

LOSERS.

Cable from London reports that the
British during the first four months
this year imported about 400 million
dollars worth of goods more than they
exported. This puts them in the hole
at the rate of 1900 million dollars a
year.
And in this situation is the key of
present British diplomacy. Above all,
they want trade-customers That's
why they hand an olive branch to
Russia and insist on Preparations set

back to normal production and buying
power. The flag follows trade more

INDISPENSABLE.

When Edison, quarter of CEN
fury ago, saw the auto demonstrated
as a practical device for widespread
use, he was most impressed with the
possibility of it becoming the means
of getting the public to go camping
outdoors.
Time proves he was right. But, the
auto, originally appealing to magma
ton as a pleasure, vehicle, has become
more of business device. It's chief
use is for saving time. Without it,
street car transportation would have
broken down long ago. What do you
predict for airplanes, which eventually
will be used by the, millions?

WEATHER.

Makers Of auto tires have seven and

The manufacturers blame the

kept people indoors instead of motor

dustry recently slumped. 1t also ex-
plains sluggish retail sales in many
cities. No wonder people talk SO much
about the weather, which directly af-
fects every ones pocketbook.

DON'T TAKE UP so MUCH ROOM
There is a quaint old saying, prob
ably Hindu, at is better to be big
frog in little town than little frog
in big pond, or town, or puddle, or
something like that"
Wonderful people, those Hindus, or
somebody is. We don't know who said
it or what they said, but you get the
general idea.
On the Pullman the other day going
from Los Angeles to Egypt we just
happened to look out the window at
the big frogs in the little towns, or
ponds.
They were loafing around, enjoying
life. If they want to worry, they sit
down and worry a while. If they want
to laugh, they can look in the mirror.
If they want to die laughing, they can
look at the city people looking out
the Pullman windows.
The big frog has many other advan-
tages, which, like them, we are too
lazy to set forth.

morrow.

wagon to wagon, striking up bar

and the customers and peddlers stink
away into the night. All that is left

New York is the night
cereus of cities
During the day it might be most
any other city. A little larger, of
course; geared a bit higher, possibly;
a trif1e more grim and stern on the
surface-but withal very common
place in the sunlight.
1t is when nature grasses daylight,
and slowly passes its wand through
twilight and dusk, that New York
blinks its electric eyes and becomes
"a glistening, alluring jewel on vel
vet background of blacknes&
The transformation from daylight
to darkness comes with dignity that
is awe-inspiring.
The other evening watched il from
the top of a great building. With sys-
tematic righteousness, lights flashed
on to offset the, frightfullness of en-
crossing darkness.
1t seemed but matter of seconds
until an artificial glow replaced the
daylight.
Probably the most inspiring sight
in all New York is to be seen from
the Jersey shore when the lights pop
on through the windows of the gi-
gantic Office building in the down
town section.
There is the air of mystery and
adventure. Sinking figures, locked
doors, characters that never brave
the sunlight, ! the pleasure-seeking
throngs, all go to make New York
something apart from all the world
when the shadows Of night have fallen.
1t is New York at night that awes
yisitors-for in daytime the big city
is a disappointment to whetted mag
nations.
