1t is our habit, for the moment.
We think we have gone back to the
Jeffersonian principle that that
government is best which governs
least We think we are tired of
politics and distrustful of the eff
cacy Of government.
We complain OF "too many laws
and praise the legislature that does
not pass, or the governor who We
toes them. The long strain on our
thought Of the Roosevelt era and
its aftermaths, and the emotional cX-
altation Of the war tired us, and we
have grown mentally lazy, apathet,c
and conservative.
We think we want 4 rest
But we don't. We want more
laws-only each Of US wants his own
laws, and complains when the other
fellow gets his.
We want more government. We
want the things that only Congress
can DO.
1t is a mood; not a thought or a
fact.
We have merely the habit Of COM
planning. 1t is crouch.

Editorial Comment

If Secretary Kellogg thinks Saklatvala, the Brit
ish radical should be kept out of this country why
does he not exclude NJ Calaux, the French minis
ter of finance. Who has just come here to arrange
Il debt settlement with us?
Surely the secretary is informed that NJ CaauX
was accused of trafficking with the enemy during
the war and was tried for treason by the French
senate upon the accusation of the premier then NJ.

More than that he found guilty OF only a
slightly lesser crime, that Of having commerce with
the enemy during war, and was eXed and deprived
Of his political rights.
CaillauX was and is radical. lie advertised
during the war that if he had been given an oppor-
tuny, with cabinet including Jaures, the great
French Socialist, he could have avoided conflict.
He is as much of radical in his way anyone.
But he has come here on a financial mission, and
he is cabinet officer in country which hopes to
pay some money. Surely that is not enough to
make Secretary Kellogg expose our innocent and
unthinking people to 1.-THE virus of radcalism.'

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
by OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

After lunch Mister Coon took his
two nephews, Cornie and Cobble,
out for ride in his new racer.
He had bought new racing car
as yellow AS pumpkin and built
in such shape that it looked more
like a boat than an automobile.
But Mister Coon never intended
to race and what was more, he didn't
intend to have those youngsters
racing either, he said. "The thing
is--just drive slowly and enjoy
the country and watch all the signs.
If everybody would only watch the
road signs there wouldn't be any
trouble and there would be no
more wrecks"
"Now watch me, boys" said their
Uncle Ringtal as they all got into
the car. "First of all l put my
foot on this little knob on the floor
and fix this jigamacrank on the
wheel-so. Then l press the knob
with my foot and that starts the
engine. Then fix the thingama-
Jig or l mean the jigamacrank back
to where it was. Then I'm all
ready to start"
Eyes, Uncle!" said Corny and
Colby, watching with all their
might.
"The next thing to do is to start
the car. See this handle--how it
wiggles? Well, Inn going to do
something with it, but I can't move
it where want to until I press this
big pedal in the floor down with
my foot. Now ! can put the handle
where l want it," And Uncle Ring
tail pulled it gently toward him.

Colby together.
Nov when take my foot off the
pedal, the car will move" said the
Coon gentleman. GAS I don't want
it to move too suddenly and jerk
our heads off, shall take my foot
off slowly, like this"
Eyes, I'm" the little coons start
ed to say. But they were so sur
prised when the long yellow car
started to move, they grabbed each
other and held on tight. "Hoo-eee!!
We're moving" they cried.
u have to move this handle three
times," said Mister Ringtail Coon.
"And each time / have to push the
pedal down first. Watch mel"
So the little fellows watched, and
by and by the car made no more
noise, but rolled along as smooth
~ as lemon-pie out for an air
inr.
"Isn't this fine!" grinned Corny.
"Please go little faster, Uncle"
"What does the little spcedome-
ter say?" asked Mister Coon.

by.
well, I might go little hit

ly. "But very little. When it gets.

WHAT is your plan for feeding
w your child? Do you think
only about keeping indigestible
foods away from him? If so, you
are behind the times. Or do you
think first about serving him the
foods his body needs? II so, you
are modern and up to date.
Below are some bills Of fare
for children suggested by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, which is uniting with the
American Child Health Associa-
ton and other organizations in
Child Health Week. These bills
of fare contain all the things
needed for their development.
Why?
Well, first, there is at least
a pint of milk In each days ra-
ton. Many children want more
and can take it without leaving
out other essential foods. Under
these circumstances they ought
to have more.
Second, there is an egg In the
first bill Of fare and little meat
or fish in the others. This is for
iron, which milk lacks.
Third, there is fruit in two
meals out Of three. This is
good rule to keep in mind all the
time. Fresh fruit is best-juice
or pulp for very young1 children.
If fresh fruit can not be obtained,
dried fruit may be used at one
meal and either = little tomato
juice or a raw green vegetable,
such as lettuce, in the other.
These foods are the watch dogs
of the diet. They help to keep
off disease.
Fourth, every meal in these ra-
tons provides for "roughage."
In some meals it is supplied by
potatoes. In others it is supplied
by whole-grain cereal breakfast
foods or whole.wheat bread. This
means that the food will have
enough bulk to prevent constipa-
ton.

L black buttoned shoes the first
day I drove to school accompanied
by Aunt Carrie. 1t was some
thing entirely new. something
about which I knew nothing, be-
cause up to the age Of ten l had
been educated by governesses. I
was afraid that I would be fright
fully backward. because I had
never had many English lessons
and had heard that foreign lam
Euages did not count for much
at school. Moreover. the term
had started in October and it was
January 9 when 1 entered.
Tn entering the building we
were greeted by Miss Valentine
chandor. the associate principal.
who now has a school Of her own.
She conducted US to the office Of
Miss Carse, then the principal.
After questioning me few min
utes and listening to my nervous
answers. made under the stern
eyes Of Aunt Carrie, Miss Carse
said I was to be placed in the
fourth grade. This, Of course.
meant nothing to me.
First Day at School.
: After saying good-by I was
guided by Miss Chandor up the
elevator two flights to an outside
classroom where lot Of other
girls Of my own age were stand
ing in line waiting for the bell to
ring as signal for them to
march down to the assembly hall
fer morning prayer.
I was introduced to my new
teacher, Miss Carr, and shown
where to hang my coat and hat
and leggings. Then / was placed
toward the back of the line with
the bigger girls and we marched
downstairs. In the assembly hall,
we sang several hymns and said
the Lords Prayer. After a few
words OF admonition from Miss
Carse we marched out again. The
older classes were the last to en-
ter the hall and the first to leave
as they took the elevator to the
higher floor, and the smaller chill
dren walked the first two flights.
First Classes.
In spite Of my fears I enjoyed
tremendously my first classes.
They were history-concernin
the early settlers in America;
and science, in which the class
