The Star Herald

say there is one other place where we
can afford 10 be extravagant, and that
is in the prevention Of disease.
IL would seem TO be an obvious fact
that the cost Of disease prevention can
never be as great as the cost of sick
ness.
The great sins Of the world are ig-
norance and disease. We might say
they are the source Of all evil.
OF the thousands of agencies for
helping people, we know of none that
50 easily justify their existence as
those that are seeking to bring about
a healthier and a more enlightened
citizenship.

be no one left Co milk the COWS, grow
the wheat, OF bake the bread.
Our present system is crude, but as
efficient as can be expected. Under
&c our writers, actors. plowmen, bakers
and truck drivers are selected by
plan that is in harmony with the law
Of supply and demand.
Farmers are~hit by this law just as
hard as writer's. When too much cot
ton is grown the farmers know it be-
cause the price Of cotton drops. When
too many books are written, the writ
er knows it because he can find no
publisher willing TO print his stories.
Publishers examine manuscripts very
carefully. If the market is glutted
with poetry. poets must turn TO some
other occupation, just as cotton farm
ers must turn to hog-raising.
In conversation with a young college
boy recently we learned Of an expert
ence which had taught him a most
valuable lesson in economics, as valu-
able in fact. as anything he will learn
during his last year in college.
At the beginning Of his vacation
period he took a job, selling women's
aprons. He went from door to door.
BY working seven hours he found he
could make S11 day, Notwithstanding
his inexperience. At the end of two
weeks he quit the job and took another,
at a desk in an automobile factory,
which paid him $50 a month. He now
had to work eight and a half hours a
day.
Il coult make more than twice as
much money selling aprons" he ex-
planned, but l couldn't stand it. Doors
were slammed in my face. dogs were
let loose on me. To make 20 sales
/ had to call at 200 homes"
This boy, in a few years may be-
come an accountant, a writer or an
engineer and make only half as much
as another young man, who never went
to college, but who is willing to go out
every day and butt his head against
the doors of hard-boiled buyers. Yet
we do not think our young college
friend will complain. Remembering
his summer experience he will admit
that the salesman is earning all he
gets.
SO with those who would like to
write romances, and who envy the
wages of bricklayers. A few days ex-
perience at the trade might convince
them that the bricklayer is worth
what he is paid.
We were led TO those observations by
paragraph of Emerson's, which we
shall now reprint: The only safe
rule is found in the self-adjusting
meter of demand and supply. Do not
legislate. Meddle, and you snap the
sinews with your sympathy laws Give
no bounties, make equal laws, secure
life and property and you need give
no aims. Open the doors of opportun-
ity to talent and virtue, and property
will not be in had hands. In a free
and just commonwealth. property
rushes from the idle and imbecile to
the industrious. brave and persevering.
Wherever there is failure, there is some
giddiness, some superstition about luck,
some step omitted, which Nature never
pardons."

HOdQe Believes in Advertising

Advertising has become leading factor
in decreasing the cost Of public utll-
ity service to the consumer, and has
shortened by half the time that
would have been required without it
to reach the present state of public
development, declares William H.
Hodge, president of the Public Utili-
ties Advertising Association.
"No advertising of necessities is defens-
ible that does not produce public
benefit" he says. Public utilities
advertising has played leading role
in public utility development. 1t has
brought the advantages Of these ser
vices to millions.
Find a poorly developed utility situa-
ton, usually with high service rates,
and you will find non-advertising
utility imperfectly meeting public
requirements. Look for the town or
territory with good service, fully
served population and industries,
reasonable rates, harmonious public
relations, and you will invariably find
utilities that believe in and practice
advertising on a liberal, intelligent
basis
There is no more possibility of making
a success out of the utility or any
other public business in this age,
minus advertising, than there is in
trying to get along without good
engineers, capable accountants and
auditors, statesmen, and trained
workers."

About two 0 clock in the after

a huge black spout, at least 75
feet high, burst from the main
vent of the famous mud geysers
which abound in that vicinity. The
freakish display lasted about an
hour and the island shook intermit-

INTELLIGENT NEWSPAPER USE

A speaker before the convention of the American
Association of Teachers Of Journalism declares that
newspapers handicapped in welding their full and
best influence in national life today because the Amer
can public, while buying millions of newspapers, does
not read the important things in them"
ut is plain" he says, that the person who reads
only the headlines, the sports page the serial fiction
the COMICS is not making intelligent of the news
paper nor encouraging publication of worthwhile
newspapers
The remedy this speaker suggests is to have news
paper reading taught in high schools and colleges.
Undoubtedly it is a good suggestion, but it is not
entirely new. Although newspaper reading does not
have separate teacher special place in the school
course is often used effectively by teachers of Eng
lish of cvics and political science history and per-
haps some other subjects 1t is not at all unusual in
many schools for teachers to ask pupils look up
something in the newspapers, to bring in newspaper
clippings bearing certain point to be able to re-
port on important current events, and on.
Perhaps newspapers SKINNED more superfici-
ally today than formerly, but they are at the
time read more integenty than formerly, because

FULL OF BUGS?

1t may be unfortunate that at this early stage of
the proceedings it becomes necessary to be suspicious
of the socalled metropolitan water district measure,
by which Southern California towns and cities might
join in big district to bring water from the Colo
rado River. But neighbors in Riverside are
calling attention to features of that measure which
sound suspiciously like provisions of the defunc
ter and power act, twice proposed by initiative and
twice bowled by discriminating electorate. In
deed, there to believe that the bill intro
duced at Sacramento providing for the metropolitan
water district drafted by eminent legal author
iy that might have had finger in the water and power
act pie, meaning the Los Angeles power bureau.
The plan to bring big domestic water supply
from the Colorado is physically and economically
sound. Los Angeles will need such water supply,
and ultimately much of the rest of Southern California
be thus supplied to advantage But, in the forma
tion of such legal entity corporation is requir
ed to finance, manage and direct that worthy enter
prise why is it necessary wise to give that
body the right of eminent domain, that it may
denim everything In sight, even water and power al
ready DEVOTED to public use? Listen
Sec. 5. Any district incorporated herein
provided shall have power: go To have and
exercise the power of eminent domain, and in
the manner provided by law for the condemna-
ton of private property for public use to the
exercise of the powers herein granted, whether
such property be already devoted to the
otherwise.
If that last clause means anything at ALL it means
that this superdstrct about to establish under
Riverside or Inyo any other county, condemn and
take water system anything else that its manage
ment might determine regardless of the fact that
that water might already be devoted to public
might already be used the basis for some town or
citys water supply,-San Bernardno Sun.
