The school system Is regarded as
our most expensive public luxury,
as IL consumes nearly half Of the
money raised by the general prop

subjected to much discussion, scan

But the Federal Government is
a greater luxury than the school
system. Even at the highest school

Saving Babies

TC ECRETARY OF LABOR JAMES j.
- DAVIS, just back from Europe, SAYS
there's very good reason why England saves
more of her babies than we do in the United
States.
The reason is not smarter doctors, nor bet
ter health work in England. The reason is
that the English-though poorer than We
spend five times as much money as we do for
the purpose. Therefore they reach more
mothers and babies.
Health VISITORS he says, "reach an es-
timated SO per cent of the children born in a
year in England and Wales and Is per cent of
the expectant mothers.
"With our larger population, greater dis
tances and higher costs for both service and
material, we are obviously able to do much
less for mothers and babies than Great
Britain.
England infant mortality rate was SO
per 1000 in 1923. The United States rate
was IT.
Surely the United States of America

Prorok expects to prove that the
Egyptians had a colony upon the
site Of Carthage long before the
Phoenicians arrived. Future ex-
cavations will. of course, put this
theory to the test.

little there is new under the

boxes containing powder and rouge,
perfume bottles and hairpins.
Eyeglasses have also been found

believes that both paper money and
check books existed in ancient
Carthage.
AS Prorok himself points out, only
fountain pens have yet to be found
to give a picture of the business

glasses and writing a check.
And probably as he wrote it, he
shook his head, meditating upon the

AUT0M 0BILES
AN DEDICATION

- UTHORITIES at Purdue
Al University will frown on
automobiles, who, like
Mary's little lamb, follow their
owners TO school this year. Only
such student automobiles as really
assist their owners in getting their
university work done will be per-
mitted.
Investigation revealed that al
most two-thirds of the $50 stu
dents with cars at Purdue last
year had one or more conditions
in their studies. Apparently the
modern brand of midnight oil
doesn't help education.
Probably the edict will CRATE
harshly on the ears of some stu
dents, who have maintained snort
ing gas chariots, but it is a ruling
that has been adopted by many
colleges in the interest of educa-
ton and discipline. College au-
thorities haven't been bribed by
cobblers or chiropodists.
ne SlQueIlL dulOillODlle has Dc-
come a problem. Unless restric-
tons are placed on it some insti-
tutions of learning will have to
raze libraries, dormitories, chapels
and classrooms to make room for
it. Perhaps in the future an up
to-date educational plant will con.
sist of a stadium and garage.
Education has been successfully
pursued afoot. Fathers and grand
fathers of these modern youths,
who wear Oxford bags and pie
eyed Fords. sometimes trudged
miles to school without permanent
Ill effects. Compelling a Purdue
student TO walk a little will break
neither the States nor his con-
stitution.
Probably it will be just as we'll
for him to learn to walk while he
is young and supple. Motorcar
builders, aircraft manufacturers
and reckless drivers will see that
he never gets another chance to
acquire the art.

You Can't Win

But the gloomy new slogan does not mean
that the spirit of Rotary and Kiwanis has

Wall St., are supposed to stare at the cards,
