SYNTHETIC DIET

Henry Fords suggestion of synthetic milk, to re-
place the doesn't exactly out of clear sky
There is good deal Of detetic synthess already IN
this blessed land.
Maple syrup, for instance. There are Americans
who will depose that all the syrup they have eaten on
pancakes for years fore evidence of having come from
a laboratory rather than maple tree, or even from
d field of corn.
Honey too falls under frequent suspicion, and
there is question that synthetic honey is possibl
iy if not an actuality. We may do without the bee
Synthetic beverages of an alcoholic nature make
the leading exhibit in this ne, although Mr. Ford as
a good citizen processes no interest in them.
1t may be simple and easy step, tor all we know,
to synthetic eggs. making the hen superfluous. Pow
dered eggs be bought now by the pound looking
like sulphur and smelling like sulphur dioXide Any
chemist ought to be able to mix such powder
We may come, in time, to synthetic meat and sym
thetic getables
But what will happen to our stomachs? That's
the question. Human stOmachs absurdly cOnServa

TOO MUCH SHOOTING

Serious crime conditions in the big cities
of the country and great is the need for checking
bandtry it is questionable whether of the meth
DDS being tried wise. police order to shoot first
and shoot kill may add to the murder total without
accomplishing any commensurate good. Innocent by
ISLANDERS too often the victims of this of shoot
ing.
Again, the announcement of the Cook County
0ll) Bankers Association that It will pay S2500
apiece for dead bandits and $1,000 for the conviction
of live places the emphasis the wrong thing
1t makes it profitable any citizen to produce
dead bandit than to live 10 justice
and it therefore sets irresponsible guns to pop
ping and endangers more lives.
1t is right for police officers TO shoot when an
emergency demands that of action than any
other. But more and citizens coming to be-
leve that placing premiums on killing is the
wrong solution OF the problem. It is making every
armed police officer private citizen a Judge jury
and eXecuoner ali in The crying need is for cap
ture prompt trial and certain, orderly punishment for
offenders.

AGAINST HERON

Six countries led by the United States, trying
to prohibit the further manufacture of heroin in the
of the anti-opium activity of the League of Ma
tions This country is supported by Canada, Norway
Poland, Sweden and Brazil. This greatly to be hoped
that other nations will the need of such action.
The American authorities hold that heron is unne-
cessary for medical because Its legitimate purpos-
can be served by other opates. Though compara-
tively mild dervative of opium, tits perhaps all the
dangerous for that because Of its subtle
lure Its Victims particularly children, tempted
by and become easy prey The effects disastrous
to body, mind and character.
If there cannot be prohibition Of such dangerous
drugs there should certainly be strengthened control
of the traffic in them. That is difficult because of the
vested interests regardless OF the harm done But
drastic action is needed. AS long dangerous drugs
manufactured, ii is almost impossible to prevent
their distribution because they easily smuggled.
The drug problem has not yet been taken serious
ly enough, nationally internationally. The last
opium conference resulted in break between the
American delegation and the others, and the mild re-
strictve treaty signed by 26 nations has not yet been
ratified by any. Now Vgor is needed to protect
kind from plague worse than alcohol.

ed will revolutionize the process
of typesetting is attracting the at.

Instead of a metal type setting

process is accomplished by the OPP

The masterfilm from which

are automatically changed by an
adjustment of focus. The actual
printing is reproduced from the
film which has been made by any
of the various lthographing pro

OVER $4,000
FARMS IN /. S.
OWN RADIOS

More than $4,000 farms in the
United States are now equipped
with radio. the department Of agri-
culture estimates following a ma
tion.wide survey through county az
ricultural agents. \ similar survey
last wear showed 365,oO farms on
which there were radio sets, and in
1923 only 14j.000 farms.
This rapid increase in the use Of
radio by farmers is due, department
officials declare, to the need for
prompt market information ~ me
chandising farm products, to the
educational value OF rWjio, and 60
is entertainment features. Many
county agents reported mat farm
crs have installed radio sets pyi
marty to receive weather and mar
ket reports.
The department cstimat, Of
10000 sets is based upon reports
from 1859 county agents. Illinois
leads the list in numbcr of sets on
farms, the estimate for that state
being $4,000 sets; New York Is next
with $4,000 sets on farms; Ioaa
farmers have $4,000 sets; Missouri
5000: Kausrs $1,000; Nebraska
$1,000; Ohio $1,000; and Mime
sofa 26000 California has 22,o00
sets Oh farms; Michigan 1900; Tex
IS $4,000, and Indiana 1900.
The smallest number of sets is
in Delaware. for which the estimate
is 200 sets on fams; Florida farms
have 300; New Mexico 800, and Ne
yada 500. The corn belt states
show the greatsct development in

BRITISH SAVANT
NAMES FOUR FOR
ROLL OF HISTORY

LONDON, Sept. l2.--" Only four
conspicuous statesmen or sovcr-
eions--looking back yer all his
toly-havc really left their mark
on the progress and increase Of
knowledge. -
This is the opinion OF Sir Wal
ter Fletcher, director of the Brit
ish Medical Research Council, Civ
en- at a meeting of the Interstate
Post Graduate society.
Sir Walters list is surprising.
The four names are:
Henry the Eighth, Charles the
Second, Prince Albert husband of
Queen Nictoria), and David Lloyd
George.
BY most people, Henry the
Eighth is regarded as the ''grcat t
est widowcrI' who ever lived; while
Charles the Second is mainly
known as n fascinating libcrtine.
But Sir Walter Fletcher pointed
out that it was the Tudor monarch
who founded the Royal College of
Physicians, two chairs of medicine
ut OXfordS university, Cambridge
university and ST. Bartholemey 5
hospital, and endowed two great
colleges at Oxford and Cambridge,
Charles the Second 5 claim to rec
ognitiou lies in the fact that he
founded the Royal societv. the
greatest scientific institution in
Britain
Prince Albert took an enormous
personal influence in every move
mentt for improving the status OF
scientific men aud of scientc. And
Lloyd George. having vision that
knowledge is power, instituted the
Development Commission in Britain,
the Medical Research council and
the department. of scientific and in
dustrial research.
Because of Lloyd George Britain
now has three government orgaui-
cations, each with frees and tleX-
iblc, constitution, supervising and
cxpending money provided by the
state for the specific purpose OF re
search.

FOR THE WORLDS CHILDREN

Child welfare is a comparatively subject for
international discussion and cooperation. The first
International Child Welfare Congress convened in
Geneva August p, attended by 700 delegates from
80 countries, including the United States and several
Of the South American republics.
II such congress nothing more than clear
ing house Of facts about he conditions OF childhood
in many different countries il ought TO accomplish
world of good. inspiring backward countries to follow
the example Of progressive lands. Also the con-
gress may serve as sort Of go~iu5 training class for
advanced welfare workers, and a round table for
useful and constructive discussion. In the end, too
certain high standards Of child welfare may be work
ed out and up, if officially, at leaz un-
official but useful guide to all lands.
The United States needs to look to lis own child
rem TO rescue those who still caugf in the tolls
of unwhoesome child labor to save others from pre-
ventable diseases and accidents and to provide better
educational opportunity for all OF its children What
ever conditions of childhood may be in other
tries they still far from ideal in many Of the
United States. Americans undoubtedly can learn as
well as instruct al the Geneva conference.
