THRIFT SHOP ACTIVITIES.

The Thrift Shop, which in three years has
become a Kenosha institution, finds itself en-
barrased by the riches of success. It's financial
accomplishment has been two-fold; it has not
only provided the funds for extending the in
FAINT welfare work which has been so success
fully organized and carried on, but even more
important than the money it has itself real
lied, it has provided the opportunity for many
to acquire at moderate expenditure, necessary
household adjUncts as we'll as domestic COM
forts perhaps not otherwise obtainable.
Now, the infant welfare work has been taken
over by the Community Chest, and the ladies
of the Thrift Shop are looking for another ave
nue. for the expenditure of the funds they ac-
quire from the continuation of their activities.
The plan they now propose is to pioneer the es-
Enlistment of community psychiatry. 1t is
to be hoped they will be as successful in this
as they were in the infant welfare work
Few people understand the value or impor-
lance of psychiatric work to the community.
Few people understand mental difficulties. In
a general way people are characterized as
"off' ''nutty', "crazy" or insane, by people
who perhaps are quite as much entitled to one
or other of the characterizatons as they are
to apply them to others. Mental alterations,
whether serious or slight, have always been
almost superstitiously regarded by most peo-
pie, and they are the least generally under
stood of all social difficulties Many of us who
consider ourselves well informed, would prob
ably be amazed at the number of people now
committed to insane hospitals, who for all that
could be seen in days of observation of them,
are as sound mentally as most of the people we
know outside of such institutions. A large
percentage of such patients are very largely

Daily Health Hint
HAND TO MOUTH DANGER.

81 am only talking Of the Smiths be-
cause they seem to be the worst of
tenders against cleanliness of the
hands and mouth" replied Mrs. Mann
to her husbands question.
''The fact is, it is surprising how
often any persons fingers go to the
mouth and nose.
"One of the first things a baby
learns is to place its fist in its mouth.
The habit sticks, and when the baby
grows up, not only the fingers, but
scores of other things are foolishly
stuck into the mouth.
"The result is that if the person
is infected, germs get smeared all
over the persons hands or any other
object that is handled.
'Then the person shakes hands with
another person, or handles an object
which falls into the hands of another
person, and then his other person
sticks the object in his mouth, or
sticks his fingers in his mouth.

dler arrange his fruit. Mattresses in

Worry.

Worry has no useful value, accom-
phshes nothing, and makes the victim
a nuisance to himself and to his as
socistes, says the Chicago Health
bulletin.
And there is plenty of food for
thought in that for everybody.
Too much worry is one of the new
real things you need worry about.
A man who lives regularly, is en-
gagged in good active mental or phys
ical work, takes part in some regular
healthful recreations, and takes time
to do a good deed for someone else
once in a while, has little time to
worry.
1t isn't bad idea to remember that
the world is pretty much as we make
it. Laughter is of real value to the
worrier and cheerfulness is bully
good tonic.

More important, even, is the value of such
work to those cases that never develop

these conditions and aids in their correction.

THE SOLEMN OLD JUDGE.

George Hay is neither solemn, OLD, nor
judge, and yet it is as the Solemn Old Judge
that he has endeared himself to more people
in these United States than ever voted for
Bryan. He has been criticised for being flip
pant-for lacking dignity Well, praise God
for that same fippancy, and that same lack
of dignicy. He has joshed, jollied, cajoled and
kidded himself into the hearts of people, until
with no trouble at all he just reached out
through the air and dipped into their pockets
or 100000 as easy as most of us break a
quarter for car-fare If he had set the mark
at a million, he probably would have had it by
this time.
There is no intention to make invidious dis
tinctions between Mr. Hay and the other an
nouncers, either as to their usual methods OF
work, or as to the glorious work they all did
in raising money for the stricken tornado VIC
TINS last week. They all did great work, and
we are grateful to them all. But, there is a
lesson for all of us in the financial results of
George Hays personality, that we should not
lightly pass.
Our acquaintance with George Hay is purely
aerial. We never saw him. Maybe we would
wish we hadn't if we ever do. Some people
are that way Personally we are not particu-
larly edited by much Of his airy persifage. 1t
is never offensive or annoying, but it is often
not in the line we specially crave. But, the
outstanding element of it, every night and in
every way, is sincerity. When some neophyte
in radio reception gets a brand new set and
tunes in WIS., he naturally wants to hear how
his own name sounds on the air. They all do
So he thinks over all the things he ever heard
and finally sends in well-chosen and prayer
fully considered request for Follow the SWal-
low" or Sally" or some other recent gem of
the cacophonous arts, and then sits around the
big end of the horn excitedly wondering if they
really will tell the world that it is for him.
Finally, the air creaks and thunders with the
glad news. Merely listening, you would be
sure that the whole WIS program was on the
verge of catalyptic disintegration until rescued
by the timely suggestion. George was mighty
glad to hear from--mighty nice of-and all
that stuff, which comes over the air night
after night,l and time after time, just as
though George really believed it himself. And
the unapproachable art of it is, that George
really does believe it-and that he is really
mighty glad" to have the request, and he
really thinks it is mighty nice" to have been
thought of That is what makes us think
George is all right. That is what makes him
a great announcer, and that is what made the
American dollars of almost the whole countrw
,ollow him around like toy terrier on ships
cable-there was no possible getting away.
And hundreds of suffering human beings are
more comfortable and no one shall know how
many were saved from death, just because
thousands and thousands of people like George
Hays kidding isn't kidding at ALL
but just the honest, sincere spirit of a big
hearted man. Keep on kidding, George. No
telling when we may need another 100000

not have objected to the penalization
of the third degree if some legal
method of accomplishing the same re-
suit were provided.
Every culprit except the one at the
bar-your son, your pupil, your en-
ploye-has to stand questioning him
self on the accusation. So does the
culprit at the bar in every system
but ours.
1t is the natural process. That is
the reason it is done illegally and ir-
responsibly. The best remedy would
be to provide for doing it legally and
responsibility.

THE FAMILY FLIVVER.

The net result of the birth of the mouse
through the parturition Of the mountain at
Madison, with the socialist parentage that
finally fell to its lot, seems to leave the burden
of taxation on the faithful old family
flvver. 1t will make no serious difference
to the large>taxpayer. The repeal of the per-
sonal property exemption is not very important
to those Of large incomes, because their per-
sonal property holdings are as rule pfopor
tionately small. The personal property of poor
people is an important part of their resources.
The small income is the one on which the in
come tax falls heaviest. An inch on the end
of the nose amounts to great deal more than
foot on the end of a mile The increase of the
exemption helps the small taxpayer more than
it does the large payer, but when you give him
the exemption with one hand and with the
other takes away the personal property tax
exemption he had, he comes out of the tax
collectors office with larger receipt than he
had before, because he has had to pay more
tax than he did formerly. 1t will be hard to
convince these thousands of people that social
ism is good for the many, or that this present
state administration has the poor man at heart.
This will also hit the farmer harder than it
will the manufacturer, and the. small merchant
with more force than it will the large one.
It is more than a matter of politics If it
were a mere matter of making the hopeless in
efficiency of the present political machine at
Madison more evident, we could look upon it
with more complacency. But it is what Presi-
dent Coolidge meant when he said that the
dollar unnecessarily taken from the citizen in
taxation was no less than legalized robbery It
need not have been done. Taxes need not have
been increased at all, but if they had to be, it
was not necessary to pick out those least able
to bear the burden, to dump it onto.

one can understand. Pile money into

experience or Imagination, and he is
likely to know nothing to do with it
except to finance on large scale the

make their small extravagances.

familiar speculation within his ken.
But Lieutenant Wood is different.

self an educated army officer and an

it was not poverty of imagination that
drove him to Monte Carlo.

ly useful as warnings.

citizens of this community who have about as
much right to be trusted with the operation
of an automobile on a public street as nine
year-old boy would have to play with hair
trigger automatic revolver at the theatre. Of
course, pedestrians are more or less of a nuis-
ance, and street crossings are still necessary
evil, but as long as we have them with us a
good way for some drivers to keep out of the
is not to kill people at street
crossings through sheer recklessness. That
some drivers do not kill more people is due to
the fear of the pedestrian rather than than the
decency of the driver. There is no occasion
for you to get mad at us for saying this unless
it is you we are saying it about.

ROWeU Says
Bx CHESTER H. RoWELL

The archaeologist has taken the
place of the explorer. There are still
worlds to conquer, but their distance
is in time, not space. The buried past
exhumes it's records, and our horizon
expands as sensationally as it ever
did in the days of the voyagers.
Carthage, Ur of the Chaldees, Su-
merriam Babylon, older and ever older
Egyptian dynasties, find new voice,
and the taboo is lessening even on Pal
estinian excavation.
The near future may unearth con-
temporary Old Testament documents
or inscriptions.
Just as our ancestors had to learn
geography TO keep up with the news,
so we may have to learn history. AL
ready the absurdity of the headline
writer's obliviousness to chronology is
recognizable to at least some of his
readers.
Soon he will have to develop per-
spective which realizes the difference
between hundred, a thousand and
million years ago.
AS it is, king Tut" is still the
standard of ultimate ancientness, and
is contemporary with the dinosaur,
the trilobite and the saber-toothed
tiger, and even older than Columbus.
But if this confusion becomes funny
to even a minority of readers, the
headline man will get his dates as in
telligent as the sporting writer has
to get his scores, or the society editor

But even in the spatial exploration
expedition of two of the Roosevelt
brothers-which gets into the news
because they are Roosevelts-is re-
minder that much of the route of Mar
CO Polo, the first great traveller, is
still as difficult as when he explored
it, six hundred and fifty years ago.
The land route across central Asia,
by Tibet and the Cobb, the western
provinces of China, the Businesses of
Siberia, the upper stretches of Bur-
mese rivers, the interior of Sumatra
and Madagascar-these are a few of
Polo's journeyings in which no Euro
pean followed him for six centuries
and which are real adventure even
for the sons of venturesome Theodore
Roosevelt to undertake now.
And, if the exploration of the land
is not yet finished, that of the sea
is just beginning.
The Sargasso seq, which the Phoe
necian navigators knew, which Colum-
bus crossed, but which is still so lit
tie known that even modern myth has
peopled it with Punic galleys, Roman
triremes and Castilian caravels entan-
gled in it's weeds, is now being really
explored for the first time.
