In his Budget Speech at Washing

said:
lone Of the greatest safeguards OF
this nation financially, socially, and
morally, lies in constructive economy
in government. 1t will do much TO
defeat attempts to undermine our
traditions and disrupt our instltu-
lions.
Economy does not mean the
neglect of essentials; rather does II
mean adequate provision for them
by elimation of all waste. 1t gives
the added protection which comes
from the means to meet time OF

U. S. Embarks On Ambitious Pro-
gram For Protection OF Game
Ten million acres of land will be
embraced in Federal preserves for
the protection of fish, fowl and game
when the Government acquires the
Upper Mississippi wild life and game
refuge.
Regulations for the new preserve
were signed jointly on June "a by
Sectary of Agriculture Jardine and
Secretary of Commerce Hoover
Nor is the total OF protected
Ravens for wild life represented by
che Federal acreage, for almost every
State has converted areas of it's own
into conservation projects, and humid
reds of farmers have limited hunting
expeditions on their property.
Figures from the United States
Biological Survey, issued July l,
show from 1865, 900 to 100000 acres
involved in the Mississippi wild life
project, $4,000 acres OF which al
eminent at 50 an acre. Most of the
territory is meadow land, unsuited
10 agricultural purposes, but num-
Der of owners are asking as much as
S26 an acre.
Congress made available $4,000
900 to purchase the refuge. Only
about 100000 OF that sum has been
used, and whether the next session
will increase the latitude in price is
matter of pertient Importance.
Much of the higher priced land
lies in Illinois. Wisconsin has sup
piled the bulk OF present Federal
possessions, MINNESOTA recently do
nated it's entire Mississippi holdings,
and the rest Of the refuge is on the
iowa side of the river.
While Federal regulations will
predominant in the preserve, there
IS to be no conflict with State fish
and game laws.
Officials of the Biological Survey
emphasize the benefit OF uniformity
in game laws.
For thirty years. they say, this
country has worked to replace local
county laws with State and Federal
statutes. North Carolina is the most
recent State to come into the fold,
Ind now the laws of more than forty
states conform to Federal regula-
lions. There is no other satisfactory
way to systematic open seasons for,

SURPRISING THE FACTS

SURPRISING in England of the
facts concerning the naval confer
ence are preventing public demand
for cut in araments by the British
people such as might solve the dead
lock in negotiations at Geneva, ac-
cording to Will Irwin, former war
correspondent and writer on inter-
national relations.
AS one of the nineteen prominent
Americans who are speaking this
summer in the forum promoted by
The National Community Foundation
in 633 towns of the Swathmore
Chautauqua Association, Mr.. Irwin
is urging the people of the rural
communities to demand undoctored
truth rather than propaganda about
international relations.
1.-THE English government is sup
pressing most of the reports of the
conference in British newspapers, +"
Mr.. Irwin declared, because the
people of England are tired of war
and would demand smaller navy ii
publicity were given to- the Disarma-
ment Conference.
Putting disarmament IN the
hands of admirals and other navy
men is as bad as putting the enforce
ment of prohibition in the hands OF
the liquor dealers. The conference
is another example of the battle OF
the propagandists which goes on
around every question OF public pol

the British.
lone reason for our political apa-
thy is that every public question to-
day is battle of propaganda. We
are getting so many biased accounts
of the news that we do not know
what to think. Accordingly, we are
doing nothing. In time the truth
will cut it's way through propaganda,
but in many cases it is too late as
the harm has already been DONE"

RECKLESS DRIVERS AND WAR

Proponents of compulsory automo-
bile liability insurance laws advance
the argument that such laws would
assure all persons damages in case OF
injury by the driver OF an automo-
bile. This is not correct because
persons injured through fault OF
their own, and large proportion
are so injured, could not collect
damages.
In Massachusetts, where compul-
sorry automobile insurance law is in
effect, the courts have upheld an in
surance company which Cancelled a
policy because the driver got drunk.
In order that drunken drivers or in
competents may secure insurance,
lawmakers have gone so far in some
states as to introduce laws requiring
insurance companies to accept all
risks, on the ground that il they dc
not accept all, they are showing par
TALLY. Such arguments are child
ish, for the only safeguard the in
surance comapny has is the right to
reject risks which are known to be
bad.
Why should an insurance COM
pany be forced to insure known
bad risk? The state should refuse
an automobile license to such a par
ty, and not give him the chance to
go on the highway and endanger the
lives of others.
Instead of reducing personal re-
sponsibility and carefulness through
compulsory insurance, let the law
increase personal responsibility and
thereby indirectly force every driver
to either voluntarily carry insurance
or so conduct himself that accidents
will be reduced to a minimum.
The murderer and highwayman,
as well as the reckless and irrespon-
sible driver, cause death and suffer
ing for which there can be no ade-
quate remedy or reparation any more
than there can be for the horrors OF
war. We should work to remove
the cause of these misfortunes rather
than to make it easier for them to
occur.

CUPID OUTRUNS COURTS
SELFAPPOINTED RECORDING
ANGEL DISCOVERS THAT
MARRIAGES GAIN

Hollywood is becoming pure and
upright The California movie" city
may be moving slow to the straight
and narrow path-but at least it is
moving. Take this from Old Peter,
the hermit of Hollywood, who keeps
daily record Of the moves of movie
land.
Up on the top of Laurel Canyon,
above Hollywood, Old Peter lives with
a mule and dog. Each day he walks
to Hollywood-his bare feet slapping
the pavement and his white hair and
beard blowing in the warm breezes.
Keep Actors "On Toes"
This far Old Peter is true hermit.
But, unlike a hermit, he is always
ready to meet friends and chat with
strangers. He knows personally every
person of consequence in Hollywood
and in the film world at large.
His criticism of bad behavior and
bad acting are bitter-and sometimes
do some good, it is said.
After closing his "book of behaV-
ior" for 1925, Old Peter announces
to the world that ''movie" land had
23 marriages and IT divorces in the
year. Cupid has a majority in his
favor, Peter points out, and, there
fore, is an indication of moral I'M
provement among screen folk.
Prominent Weddings
"Sure enough" Old Peter says,
opening his book of Hollywood scan
dals and virtues, "here we have 23
big movie marriages for the year.
Among the most prominent were Ri
cardo Cortez and Alma Reubens, Mil
ton Stills and Doris Kenyon, Mabel
Normand and Lew Cody, Ben Turpin
and Babette Dietz, and May Murray
and Prince Divani.
"But these here divorces. Well
once my actors begin to slip nothing
in this here world kin stop 'em. Add
ed to the II couples really divorced,
three couples have divorce actions
pending. Now that the Chapiins
started off 1927 with rush, there's

will look like. Anyhow, Peter as

arrogate to himself the right to con-
troll your conduct and say what you

no way whatever and an arrange
ment which leaves the man free and
binds the girl, has no advantage for

Such an arrangement puts the girl

her favor and fighting each other for
the privilege of taking her to places
she has to wait for one man to in

Dear Miss Flo:
Do you think that girl of eighteen
who is not engaged should go with
only one man? A few nights ago a
young man whom just met asked me
to go steady with him. | told my
parents of this and they approved,
saying that people would talk if | go
out with different young men. I'm
not keen about the idea of giving up
all my other boy friends, so we have
decided to leave it to your judgment.
Dorothy.
In this particular instance cannot
agree with your parents in the view
they take of the matter. There is
safety in numbers for the young girl.
1 also believe it very unfair to ask
young girl of eighteen to give up
all her boy friends for one who has
yet to prove his desirability. Every
girl should try to know as many men
as she can, because it gives her
wider range from which to select a
husband when she is ready to judge,
by comparison, which is the best and
which one she really prefers.
And very often a young men who
seems attractive at first doesn't wear
we'll. When you know the young man
better you may find he is mean or
stingy or disagreeable and hard to
get along with. If you have given up
your other beaux for him you may
find it difficult to form new friend
ships.
1t is highly probable the young man
was sincere in his request Why |
he be? 1t merely means
that he has found you attractive, and
is willing to have you as companion
for the time being. If, when he
knows you better, you lose your
charm for him, all he has to do is to I
