LEADED GASOLINE

The question whether tetraethyl-
loaded gasoline sold in many states
70 eliminate the knock in automo-
pile engines is dangerous to public
health, must be satisfactorily and
tesponsibIy determined. The as
sertion of Prof. Henderson of Yale,
apparently supported by other uni
versity investigators, that there is
grave danger in the use of suca
gasoline, has attracted increasing
public attention. SO has the order
of the board of health forbidding it's
sale in New York city.
Prof. Henderson's attack upon
the federal bureau of mines, which
reported favorably on gas of this
type, must produce direct effects
in Washington, if his position is
indicated Prof. Henderson, who
is ascientist of established reputa-
ton, has had the courage to sup
port unpopular causes in the past.
1t may be assumed that the pres
ent issue, which he has been the
chief instrument in bringing to
public attention, will not be drop
ped until its rights and wrongs are
settled.
The controversy recalls that
which was once projected by DR..
Harvey w. Wiley over the use
of benzoate of soda as a food pre-
sentative. DR.. Wiley was not up
held by the official finding of the
so-called referee board of chem-
lists which was called into exist-
ence by President Roosevelt. But
there were health experts who did
not agree with the board and it
has been asserted that less benzo-
ate of soda is consumed today than
when DR.. Wiley made his protest
Springfield Republican.

A GOOD LAW

For the first time in the history
of the United States the stigma of
illegitimacy has been taken off the
child born out of wedlock.
Governor Smith Of New York
has signed the Antin bill, making
the legal Technology for such per-
sons in that state child born out
of wedlock" and prohibiting use of
of other terms of synonymous
meaning in statutes and court rec
ords of the state.
The governor presented to Miss
Sophie Irene Loeb, of New York,
who supported the measure, the
pen with which he signed the bill.
Here is something that every
American state should do. Why
should any human being come into
the world under stigma for which
he is not to blame? In the Scan
dinavian countries the estates of
fathers of children born out of we'd
lock are liable for the care and
education just as though the child
rem were born in wedlock and upon
an exact equality with children
born in wedlock. If the paternity
of the child is in doubt under Scan
dinavian law all possible fathers Of
the child are equally liable for the
child's decent upbringing. This

YOUR RICH UNCLE

~ "Uncle Sam is rich enough to

song. Well, here's what he actually
has:
The census bureau recently has
published the figures Of the latest
official estimates of the national
wealth of the United States, and
has reported that the total in
1922 amounted to more than $780,
O00,O00,O00 This is an average per
capital wealth of $2,19S. Have you
got that much? If not, there is some
thing wrong with you.
You may be too lazy or too

= Since 1900 the per capita aver
age of the national wealth has in
creased from 81, 165 to $2,918. but
this does not represent nearly so
rapid an increase in the true value
.4<s Of our possessions as it appears to
do, for much of the advance in the
dollar value is accounted for by
the great rise in prices that has
,,r, taken place in these years.
i. The greatest increase has taken
place in real estate, which is by
al belongings. The distribution of
national wealth by states is most
uneven. 1t ranges from about $1,000
far the largest item in our nation
per person in Nevada, to about ST.
200 per capita in several of the
southern states. The average in
Ohio is $3,04S and that in New
York is $3,,436.
Kansas is beyond the average.
So if you haven't got $4,000 you
should take an interest in your
self and examine your ways and
means and ask yourself what's the
matter For its you-and no one
Fohelse that's to blame. Or it may be

! THE EARTH TOO SMALL

There was once q man, says
tradition. who worried himself to
death because he read that the fuel
SIMPLY would be exhausted in so
many million years, and there are
noopJe today who give themselves
no end of trouble about things
equally remote.
Doubtless there are certain parts
Of the earth's surface where there
are more people to the acre than
there ought to be, but there are
vast areas where men cannot be
found.
On this continent, without going
anv farther, there are yet consid-
cradle areas that are lying idle or
that are only partly developed, and
in South America there are mill
ions of square miles the POSSIBLE
flies of which have scarcely been
scratched. In Brazil for example,
tbere are immense unexplored reg
ions. the possibilities of which can
moi vet be gagged. In the Argen-
i. tine and in Mexico, countless acres
which are at present given over to
the grazing of cattle, will in time
be put under crop; and in Peru it
is asserted that vast stores of cop
per lay hidden in the Cordilleras,
millions of tons of timber stand In
the forests awaiting the axe, while
great quantities of oil are still I'M
tapped.
The great continent of Africa, is
also undoubtedly a land of the fut-
IRE. Cecil Rhodes dream of a
Cape to Cairo railway is not yet
realized, but the work is under way
and hundreds Of miles of country
haye been linked up.
1t is increasingly being recog-
nized that a more equitable distri
button of the human race is desir-
able but this must come about in
TIA gradual and natural manner, not
by any sudden disturbance of pres

THE OLD BROWN TRUNK

IL JILL LINZ WIN 4ANOINA
There is something of the SPUR
rel in every woman, just as Ed
ma Ferber has so truly said. Year
after year she stores away in the
attic innumerable useless articles
with which she just cannot bear to
part; and year after year she
spends day airing, busting and
scrubbing the storeroom and com
muning with the contents of q
shabby little brown trunk. For an
attic would not be an attic with
out a little brown trunk-a faded,
dingy, battered object which held
mothers trousseau when she came
from the east a bride. A treas
ure chest of precious things.
Springtime cleaning days bring
memories Of those treasures with
their lingering, mtisty perfume.
There is a roll OF unfinished knit
ting, red mittens in the shell"
pattern-the Grim Reaper folded
mothers hands before her task
was finished. The baby's first bon
net, a quaint little cap with it's
frill Of ruching and so Incredibly
tiny; little brothers first trousers;
a box of wedding cake, petrified
by time; and endless assortment
Of crotcheted lace patterns; the
home-spun coVerlet which grand
mother wove; mothers quaint old
necklace with the locket which
contained fathers picture; a
watch chain of fathers which was
made from strands of mothers
long auburn tresses, old letters,
old photographs, locks of hair and
numerous other keepsakes are re
Vealed when the lid is lifted from
the old trunk.
Even more fascinating to small
girls than the quaint old locket
was the beautiful wrap called
dolman which mother had worn
in the days before she married and
came west to live on Kansas
claim. Every year it was taken
from an old trunk to be aired and
admired. A lovely creation it was
in the eyes of her calico clad chill
dren-fashioned on graceful lines
and trimmed Iavishly in lustrous
DandS ana rlch heaVy silk fringe.
They stroked its lovely sheen with
appraising little hands and longed
to grow up and wear pretty cloth
es. Mother cherished the dolman
too. It recalled to her, no doubt,
happy days gone by, and it was
one of the few pretty things so
dear to the feminine heart which
remained of her troussean. With
clever fingers she cut and fash
Toned many of her pretty garments
into clothes for her children, but

the scissors, and to this day re-

country comes from two counties in
Indiana, near Bedford and Bloom
ington. where beds exist thirty to
forty feet in thickness. The even
texture, strength and easily work
able quality of this oolitic limestone
have made it a national favorite for
building, and also for finely chiseled
statuary. Much limestone is also
produced in Ohio and Pennsylvania,
though tile latter is used chiefly for
flux in the iron industry. The United
States stands second to Italy in the
production of marble, most of which
comes from the huge beds in Yer
mont, in which State is also to be
found the largest marble finishing
plant in the world.
Stone is used principally for build
ing. monuments, paving and curbing.
and in crushed form for roads, con-
crete making. and railroad ballast.
Much limestone of inferior quality is
used in making lime and in charging
iron furnaces. Slate forms a distinct
industry by itself.
