SOME MORE RULES

While not entirely original, the ten commandments of health suggested by Miss Maria Leonard, dean of wo- men at the University of Illinois, are worthy of consideration. She says:
 Eat less; chew more. Ride less! walk more. Clothe less; bathe more. Worry less; work more. Idle less; play more. Talk less; think more. Go less; sleep more. Waste less; give more. Scold less; laugh more. Preach less; practice more.'
 There is a pretty good lot of ad- vice in the above forty words, and it is worth going over several times, giving thought to each suggestion. Better observance of these rules would tend to promote health, hap piness anG consequently a Toner and moro useful life.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

Out of my own experience of twenty-five years as counsel for the defense, prosecutor, and judge, 1 say the only thing criminal fears is the penalty of death that will follow his crime" said Judge Al fred E. Talley, in New York de bate on capital punishment with Clar- ence Darrow, the Chicago lawyer who defended Leopold and Loeb.
 After criminals went to jail said Judge Talley, conditions were made rather pleasant for them. Cinema shows brighten every evening, the convicts' time was frightened in Sing Sing and other prisons by perform ances of Broadway stars whom law abiding poor outside could not see because they had not the money.
 If you don't like the meals in pris- on you can get them from a private cafe. At the present time more than half of the Sing Sing prisoners eat outside
 If I, as an individual have the right to kill in self-defense why has not the State, which is a group of individuals, the right to defend it self against aggression?" Those who seek to take away from the State the power of capital punishment seek to take from the symbol of Justice her sword
 MT. Darrow declared that rich men escaped the death penalty, while "the poor, the weak and the friend less" suffered. T guarantee,' he said, that every man awaiting death at Sing Sing is there because he was without a good lawyer. Do you SUD- pose good lawyer will defend a poor client? They are too busy looking after the wealth of big cor porations." At this point the presi- dent of the debate took exceptions to the remarks of MT. Darrow, and stepped from the chair to object. The winner of the debate has not yet been announced, but vote will be taken by post.

AIR MAIL POST CARDS

AS a means of increasing air mail business and thus expanding our air service, H. Kirkwood of San Fran cisco proposes a low rate for post cards sent by this means.
 He figures that the present rate of 24 cents from New York to San Francisco for post cards yields s76,- 800 per ton, counting the cards at a weight of one-tenth of an ounce each.
 At rate of four or five cents each there would still be a great profit in their transportation and the low rate would insure a tremendous increase in the use of the air mail for this purpose He estimates that a billion post cards a year would be carried at this rate, yielding revenue 10 the government of approximately forty million dollars.
 Whether the volume suggested by MT. Kirkwood would be realized or not can not be foretold, of course, but considering the great revenue possible from such comparatively small weight and bulk, it appears that his idea is worthy of develop ing.

CANADA LOOKS FORWARD

One of the most forward looking g movements which has come to our notice lately is that of the Canadian National Committee for Mental Fly giene, which has raised large sum for research work and other activi- ties in behalf of insane, epileptic and otherwise mentally defective per sons.
 The Lady Byng of Vimy fund has reached s2OO,OOO and the Rockefel- Ter Foundation has donated $75,000 toward a total of half million which it is hoped to raise.
 All the results of this research work will be placed at the disposal of the Canadian government for it's guidance in dealing with this great problem, which includes not only those totally disabled from mental deficiencies, but abnormal school children, potential criminals and all others who need scientific attention or treatment.
 It has been demonstrated, not only in Canada, but in every country in the world, that the economic loss through neglect of these detectives is enormous, not to mention the phy- sical and mental suffering that goes hand in hand with it, all extending beyond the present to future genera tions.
 Canadas determined efforts to meet it's responsibilities in these mat ters will command the sympathetic and hopeful interest of sociologists and philanthropists the world over.

MILLIONS ARE STARVING

Civilization does not appear to have gotten very far, after all, when we reflect that right now millions of human beings are starving in various part of the world
 From the Near East, from Russia, from India, from China, from Korea and other lands come heart-rending stories of hunger and death, in many cases made more terrible by suffer ing from cold and lack of medical aid.
 Devastated by war, and by failure to recover from it's effects, vast areas are unable to produce enough food to sustain their publications. In other cases, local disturbances, unfavora- ble climatic conditions, unintelligent methods, religious and racial perse- cution have each contributed to the deplorable situation.
 At the bottom of it all lie those two monsters of all ages-ignorance and greed These are chiefly re- sponsible for existing conditions.
 In all history it appears that the human race has been largely domi- hated by ambitious and selfish men and this is as true today as it was in the time of Alexander the Great.
 Even when leaders supposed to represent the common people rise to power, as in Russia, they are often as autocratic and cruel as the aristo- crats whom they displace.
 In spite of our vaunted civiliza- ton, a majority of all human beings born on this earth are doomed to lives of privation and misery, largely as result of mans inhumanity to man."

FUTURE OF PROHIBITION

Regardless of individual views on prohibition, it must be admitted by every citizen that serious condition confronts the country in regard to the enforcement of the Volstead law.
 While the Anti-Saloon League and many government authorities claim that great progress is being made in law enforcement, others see in the widespread disregard of law a seri- ous menace to our American life.
 At the end of five years of prohi- bition this month, many persons summed up the results in their own way, reaching widely differing con- clusions. Some say the results have been as favorable to prohibition as could have been expected, while oth- CTS profess to see evidences of ulti- mate failure.

No one can foretell what the next five years, or the next ten, will bring forth, but the problem seems to be far from a permanent or satisfac- tory solution.
 Neither vets nor drys are very iubilant over the outlook and it ap- pears that for the time being, at least, the rum-runners, moonshiners and bootleggers are more numerous than ever before.
 While every good citizen hopes for better condition in the future, def mite means for bringing it about do not appear to be in sight.

ADMIRAL LINE PUTS OUT NEAT FOLDER FOR THE
 COMING TOURIST YEAR

The Pacific Steamship Company has issued a very attractive folder for the season of 1925, showing scenes along the Inside route and giving Seward quite a boost.

NURMPS APPETITE

In one department of sport Amer ican athletes have been decisively outclassed this year, through the re- markable performances of Paavo Nurmi of Finland, who has shat tered about all the running records in the world.
 After winning over all contenders in the Olympic games, Nurmi came to America recently to take part in in- door meets in New York and Chi cago. It was thought by many that he would be at disadvantage on a board track, but here again he prov ed invincible, breaking two worlds records the first night he appeared on a New York track. A few nights later he broke three worlds records, followed by other sensational per formances in Chicago and again in New York, which stamps him as the greatest runner of all time.
 One remarkable thing about this Nurmi is his disregard of most of the accepted theories of training and diet An hour or two before going on the track he eats all he wants, of which the following is sample menu: Vegetable soup, spare ribs of beef, baked sweet potatoes, about half a dozen rolls, a double helping of ice cream two apples and three cups of coffee.
 He evidently believes that it takes fuel to make steam-and so it does.

THE "MATLEO FIST" OF STAIN
 That is the name sometimes given to Vaptain-General Emilio Barrero, literal Dictator of revolting provin- ces of Spain. Recently in Barcelona, following a revolt, he made over 300 arrests in his stern campaign of re- pression, and his work is going on fully as strong and as efficient, sub duing all movements with full au- thority backing him up. Those who are captured receive either of two sentences, execution or court mar tial, which means life imprisonment.

Blame for the lack Of development
and Improvement in the eastern Sec

estate dealers of the northeast section
by members Of the Stanton Park Gu
Zens' Association at meeting IN the
Peabody School, Fifth and streets
northeast, last night. Because OF the
indifference on the part OF real estate
dealers in East Washington many oil

ing to the northwest. where develop-
ment Is along more modern lines' II
was said.
Commissioner Frederick A. Fenning'
In short address, said that the citl'
zens of the Stanton Park sectlon
should not be accused Of unselnsn mo-
tives when 1t Is noticed that they are
constantly striving for Improvements.
When 1t is considered that this com
lnnnity is but few blocks IRON the
Capitol and in view OF the fact aiso
that the Capitol faces TO the east IL IS
but reasonable to expect that the
northeast and southeast shoulo hase
streets, lights, parks and residences IN
keeping with proper surroundings for
the Capitol.

He favored adequate schools, nre
and police protection Tor the SeclloH'

to the District Building and talk
things over with the Commissioners,
who, he said, may not always say
'yes" to requests, but would decide In
the interest of the greatest number.
Resolutions We're adopted relterat-
Ing the associations plea for the IN
stallation of a modern electric light
ing system on Massachusetts avenue

urged that the gas lighting system
