What Are You Doing
For Your Puny Child?

For weak, frail, under developed
children-and especially those that
have ricketts,, and need sure builder
that promotes the growth of teeth
and bones, cod liver oil is the one
medicine supreme-nothing helps like
it.
But 1t is nasty and repulsive and
evil smelling and nearly always up
sets children's stomachs--so now up-
to-date chemists advise McCoy's Cod
Liver Oil Compound Tablets.
Children love them as they do
candy, because they are sugar coated
and easy to take. One boy gained
111s pounds in seven weeks, and is
now healthy and happy-thousands
Of other children have grown strong
and robust.
Sixty tablets for so cents at Cough

FOR 80 DAYS and If they don't help
wonderfully, your druggist is author

GAS TAKES AND RECIPROCITY

The American :. Automobile As
sociation considers inequalities in
the gasoline taxes as imposed by the
several States a factor hindering a
nationwide reciprocity. and pleads
for uniformity.
Twenty-one States and the Dis
trict, Of Columbia levy a tax of 2
cents per gallon. three have tax of
one cent, Is have three cents. three
have four cents and one five cents,
one has 2 u and two Y cents.
:. That the residents of one State
have to pay more in another than
their own State demands of those
from out the State surely does not
appear to be reciprocal arrange
ment, but are there not certain other
features to be considered? Assume,
by way of illustration. a sparsely
settled State, which for various
reasons those from out that State
wish to travel over in large numbers
and with great damage to the roads.
Manifestly the small number of tax
payers within the State cannot afford
to maintain highways for the out-of-
State cars to wear out to suit the
personal desires OF the visiting
motorists. A gasoline tax not only
would relieve that inequitable condi-
ton. but would serve to provide the
visitors with roads such as their
Hseds require. Moreover. the upkeep
Of those visiting cars is lessened by
the geod roads which their payments
Of . gas tax provide. In short there
are several holes in q SKINNER. For
instance We do not believe Names
a-eent tax IL any too high under ex-
listing conditions.

SPEAKING OF CRIME

Massachusetts, Registrar Of Motor
Vehicles appears. at this distance. to
be 4 somewhat vehement person. but
that is nothing new respecting re-
formers. Indeed, the public insists,
before it will wake UP. on having an
alarm clock capable Of waking the
entire neighborhood. This is not
altogether gratifying and usually the
results likewise are not. However,
We would commend to all crime
commissions and voters careful
reading Of what Registrar Goodwin
told the police chiefs the other day
Here are excerpts from his reported
remarks:
1--WE are working under discourag-
ing conditions, but must not quit. II
we had to dght only these violators
of law, it would be enough. but
whom in addition. we have to tight
the politicians, criminal lawyers,
courts, district attorneys. parole
boards, juries and perverted public
opinion. the task seems insurmoun.-
able.
wye all echo the words Of Police
Commissioner Wilson of Boston, who
said: IL We corral the lawbreakers,
and someone 10 At the other end let
ting down the bars, then they can
come out as fast as we put them in.
Who IL letting down the bars? The
politicians, the jury fixers, criminal
lawyers and soft-headed senti-
lnentalists are getting them out, ably
aided by judges. district attorneys,
juries and parole boards.
Yesterday, one of the young
bandits captured said: ITO hell with
the police, ! have q good friend and
politician who will get me out. will
never do q days time This poll
tician mentioned by him is on the
Ways and Means Committee at the
State > House, which passes on
salaries and pensions of judges. dis
triet attorneys and other attaches of
the courts. Unfortunately in this
eAse for the young bandit he does
not realize the power Of public
epiAion."
Il Registrar Goodwin exaggerating
conditions? We are not near enough
to the scene Of activities to know.
but the newspaper reports of crimes
and treatment Of criminals bear him
out. Evidently there Is need enough
in this Of an uprising of public
opinion indignant and directed at
those to whom society has right to
look for protection. We should not
be distracted by crime commissions
or By incomprehensible statistics,
when We have the bare facts before
US. And without assuming holier-
thou attitude it seems but fair
to add that here in Maine. with pos
sibly = few exceptions, there is not
occasion to apply such criticism as
seems deserved in more populous
Massachusetts. Nevertheless we all
are interested. vitality interested.

Editorial Comment
Belated and Absurd


We hope and feel that the good
people of the South will not approve
the belated and absurd attack on the
motives of Abraham Lincoln in free
ing the slaves made by Mrs. st. John
A. Lawton. president-ge general of the
United Daughters of the Confederacy,
in her speech at Spartanburg the
other day.
This woman made the grotesque
charge that Lincoln signed the
emancipation proclamation with
the purpose of encouraging the
slaves to attack Southern white wo-
men and thus force Confederate
soldiers TO leave the army and re-
turn home to protect their loved
ones"
How far. how immensely far. from
any real understanding of the char
acter of the gentle and chivalrous
Emancipator is any human being
who could say such thing as that
about him. We are sorry that it is
woman who thus misuses her Of
fetal position.

REPORT OF THE AIRCRAFT
BOARD

seen respecting the report OF the ar
craft board chosen by President
Coolidge have been favorable and
show little If any partisan bias. The
concensus is to the effect that the
boards recommendations are SOUND.
The care with which the President
selected the board, his choice OF
personnel that commands respect for
the conclusions, was eminently wise.
Unwise treatment Of aviation In
this country would be a greater
calamity than some appear to think.
Much depends in getting Off on the
right foot in this matter; con-
structive minds Of wide scope ana
freedom from bias are needed. While
Colonel Mitchell may be serving as
the necessary alarm clock to arouse
US to action he is seen to be one
whose opinions cannot be trusted Tor
proper doing Of the great work at
hand. The report Of the board leaves
him UP in the air, which is his ele-
ment.
The board finds that aviation has
not been disgracefully neglected;
that in the matter Of defense we
compare in aviation favorably with
other powers; that We are not In
grave danger from an air attack by
another country. There is no avoid
ing it's evident conclusion that
Mitchelrs charges of incompetency
and ineff1ciency are unfounded, al
though it recognizes the existing
conflict of thought, likewise the
value of such conflict and that it is
inevitable but it finds that what is
needed is a more generous apprecia-
ton by each side Of the difficulties of
Of the other side, that the problms
should be approached with less feel
ing and more intelligence"
The board concludes that military
and civilian services should be en-
tirely separate; it is unanimously
opposed to a unified air service, does
not even approve General Patrick's
plan. 1t does recommend that the
secretary of war create, admins
tratively, in each of the five divisions
of the War Department general staff,
an air section, to be headed by
general staff or acting general staff
officer detailed from the air crops
air service; such section, under the
same supervision as other sections
Of it's division, to consider and rec
ommend proper action on such air
matters as are referred to the d.
vision.
1t would have two more brigadier
generals in the air service and
recognition by commensurate rank of
other officers in the service; more
over it would, in view. of the hazard
Gus service, approve extra pay for
flying; it would have aviation gov
erned by men trained in the air. in
coordination rather than through a
unified air control. 1t would provide
for handling aviation affairs in the
present departments of Army and
Navy by an assistant secretary in
each, also one in the department of
Commerce, and aviation given place
on the general stats.
1t appears the members Of this
board met for the first time enter
tanning conflicting opinions, that they
have concluded their work by un-
animous report, which recognizes
the. fact that aviation is yet in its
formative period and. that it would
be unwise to draw hard and fast
lines. The report should help
nightly to clear the air of rancor
and rant and stimulate a spirit of
coordination so much needed at this
time.
