SrANpARplzE A SUITABLE
HEADLIGHT

There are things which the Fed
eral Government can do to better
advantage than states by concerted
action may hope to do. This has been
one Of the reasons for Federal inter-
ference with interstate highways.
1t follows that it may be required to
enforce certain regulations, such as
headlights, for instance, to make
those highways safe as possible.
1t appears that in most states head
light laws are Intellectual. All, or
nearly all are too bright. Manufac-
turers could change that, but they
are stocked up with all varieties OF
eve sight binders, tied up in con-
tracts, and in self defense would be
likely to oppose standard regulations.
That should be had, however, and the
need is so great, the dangers OF night
travel are so serious that the Federal
Government would be warranted, so
far as the need Is concerned, in fixing
upon a suitable headlight and requir-
Ing manufacturers to conform to that
standard. Whether the Federal Gov
eral Government might do this

determine. va.

WILLING TO TAKE THE RISK

The British scientists, who are
hopeful that that they have isolated
the cancer germ and will be able to
find a cure for 1t, are not seeking
human beings upon whom to expert
ment. When 1t became evident that
it would be necessary to test their
hoped-for cure by means of the hu-
man subject, those made with ami
mails not being adequate, offers began
to pour in from those volunteering to
be experimental upon. Others sug-
gested that experiments be made
upon criminals, some of whom 1t was
assumed would be willing to take the
chance Of deserving the title of use
full citizens.
The scientists ask for no such sac
rifices from the public but announce
that IL necessary they will innoculate
themselves with the germ and sub
NIT to the treatment. This atti-
tude shows confidence on their part,
also a willingness to demonstrate
their hopefulness at their own risk.
But what about the attitude of those
who volunteered and were rejected?
What prompted them?

RATHER pIscoURAelNG

Mr.. Leopold schepp Of New York
has been accumulating many dollars
from the importation and distribu-
ton of cocoanuts. Presumably not
all who import and distribute cocoa
nuts accumulate dollars in abun-
dance, but Schepp did, and moreover
found time in which to devise
methods for applying that accumu-
lation for the benefit of the world IN
general.
The shrewdness that enabled him
to accumulate the fortune stands
him in good stead in his purpose
wisely to distribute it. He has put
a trust Of two and a half millions TO
work to aid deserving young boys
and 1t is said he has successfully ap-
piled his shrewdness to the selection
of the deserving.
He would extend his benefactions
and include girls in the benefits.
Not being obsessed with the idea that
he knows it all he asks for sugges-
tions, qualifying however, with the
statement that he doesn't wish for
suggestions from those with axes to
grind.
Wouldn't you suppose everybody
would like to be of aid in such an
enterprise, would be willing to fore
20 selfish designs for the moment In
order to help such a demonstration
of unselfshness? If SO then are you
to be disappointed, as Schepp has
been. Personal requests Immediately
began to pour in upon him until he
throws up his hands in despair and
takes to the woods leaving his clerks
to handle the accommodating mail
And to think he had been having the
time Of his long useful life In doing
a lot of good, and now? Well, he may
renew his courage far from the mad
ding crowd and come back to dump

Editorial Comment
Fine Work For Maine

Sprague's journal of Maine His
tory for the current quarter comes
duly to hand and is worthy of ex-
tended mention. The main feature
of the number is a splendidly COM
piled and finely illustrated article
dealing with the history of Mt
Desert by Prof. William Otis Saw
telle, who is an associate editor Of
the publication and contributes many
worth while articles. Mr.. Sawtelle
is a recognized authority on Maine
history and genealogy.
1t is full time that tribute be paid
John F. Sprague for his labors of
many years in conducting his Journal
of Maine History, which is a publica-
tion of inestimable value for all who
are interested in the history of our
state. Mr.. Sprague has collected and
preserved in published and durable
form much historic data that would
otherwise have been lost to the fu-
ture.
Probably Mr. Spra que has not been
materially enriched by his efforts
