THE UNCLE NEBo SCHOOL

THE old-faShioned Southern darkey
i was absolutely without peer ms Il
diplomat.
One of them once did us slight
service.
How much do we owe you, Uncle
Nebo?' we inquired.
"Whatevah yall wanta gimme he an
swered with courtly bow and a smile
that was irresistible. "Evvybody knows
what a gen'rous gen'man yall is-spechly
us culud folks. All wouldn't think Of
akin y'all TO pay me 70 what All done
deed All wouldn't! Jes' make me a
Christmas gif'."
OF course he was paid 10 times more
than the service was worth. But what
would you?
Joseph CAILLAUX, French minister
j of finance, is now on his way over
here to settle with Uncle Sam.
AS he left Paris he was all optimism.
He would soon be back with generous
terms in his pocket
"A gentleman's offer TO gentlemen" is
the way he smiingly but vaguely de-
scribes the proposition he intends to
make us. Which sounds very much like
he belongs to the Uncle Nebo school. He
starts off with blarney behind which we
somehow scent the expectation of gen
tlemanly open-handedness on our part
which we will find hard to disappoint.
II we don't live up to expectations, the
inference is well, we won't be
gentlemen.

SAVING BABIES
Newspaper Tn
tsrprlss Aasn.
and United
Pres Service

CECRETARY OF LABOR JAMES j.
y 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
better health work in England. The rea-
SON is that the English-tho poorer than
we-spend five times rs much money as
We do for the purpose. Therefore they
reach more mothers and babies.
Health visitors" he says, reach an
estimated SO per cent of the children
born in year in England and Wales and
10 per cent of the eXpectant mothers.
with our larger population, greater
distances and higher costs for both serv-
ice and material we are obviously able
to do much less for mothers and babies
than Great Britain
Englands infant mortality rate was 80
per 1000 in 1928 The United States
rate was n.
Surely the United States of America
the richest nation on caribbean afford
to spend a little more money to save our
babies. We spend only about 100000
per year now. compared to the British
S4,500,000.

Kellogg lifted him from obscurity by be-

stranger We hope and trust our repub-
lie is built on foundations too firm 10 be

This latest blunder Of the state depart
ment is quite on par with the Karolyi
incident of few months ago Count
Karolyi, former president of Hungary,
liberal republican, was refused admission
to this country TO be at the bedside of his
sick wife until he had first been securely
gagged. Later Canada received him with
open arms and let him speak his soul
and he said absolutely nothing which
George Washington himself would not
have applauded England harbors this
man today and leaves him free TO go and
come and talk as he will
Has the America of 1925 snapped
places with 18th century England? Have
we become the land of bigotry and intol-
erance and Britain the home Of freedom?
II looks so, much 10 our shame.

THE ELEPHANT AND MOUSE
CECRETARY OF STATE KELL0GG'S


- refusal to allow Shapurji Salslatvala,
British member of parliament, to enter
this country is Just plain silly-like the
antics of an elephant screaming in terror
at sight of mouse.
True, the fellow is communist. But
what of it? If the British can stand him
as a steady diet, both as citizen and NJ. F.,
without suffering any dire consequences
to their royal house, surely we might
stand him one short week without revo-
luton.
Saklatvala had intended coming TO
Washington because, as a member OF the
English house of commons, he wanted TO
be present at the 23rd annual conference
of the interparliamentary union, begin
ming October l.
As a strong nation conscious of our
strength we should have paid no more at
tention to him than to any other delegate.
Senator Borah has the right idea. IF he
comes here and violates any law of the
United States. put him in jail" he says.

day was. appointed superintendent OF
the Home School for Girls at Saub
Centre, members of the state board OF
control announced.
The appointment which is effective
about January Is, next is to fill the
vacancy which is caused by the resig-
nation of DR.. Lena Beach, because of
ill health.
20 Mrs. Stewart while resident of

ors and also had worked at the Home

came head of the Gerard institution,
The date upon which she takes charge
OF the Minnesota institution has moi
been, determined as it is attendan.
upon her making arrangements in he,

DR.. Beach will continue in charge

ing carried on.
Following Mrs. Morse's resigna-
ton two years ago, Mrs. Stewart was
an applicant for the place. The Her
