5000 MOKE BABY SHUES.
USELESS RECORD BREAKING.
WILL SHE DIE?
Mr.. Teagle, president of New Jer
sey Standard Oil, warns oil men tina
they are cutting their own throats
This country is treating the nations
Oil wealth as unintelligently as front
iersmen treated the herds of bison
The bisons soon vanished.
Oil is actually being sold for less
than it costs to produce, cheerful foi
buyers, but it will not last.
Millions are spent developing new
wells to increase competition while
oil companies are carrying $50 100000
barrels of oil stored above ground
at an annual cost, loss and waste OF
$130.000,000.
The countrys national oil wealth
is not merely private wealth.
1t is a great national asset and
way should be found to give oil
troduction some national control and
bic,p waste.
You are told many things about
prohibition, for and against. r H.
Davidson, writing from Coronado
Beach, California, asks, DO you
chance to know that the sale of chill
dren's shoes has increased 400 per
cent per annum since prohibition
kame?"
Everybody will agree that 400 per
ecnt more shoes for children, COM
bined with larger savings bank de-
bosits, is a strong argument for pro-
hibition, assuming those things to be
results of prohibition.
Those that would modify the Vol
stead Act say the average man is
Earning about twice what he earned
before the war, and increased earn
hgs, not the absence of beer, explain
greater savings and more children's
bhoes.
A coal strike of sort was start
ID last week in what is called "the
Aentral competitive field" Union
men in the North cannot compeh
with non-union men farther South.
The alleged attempt to reduce wagi
es in the North would cause still
further reduction of wages in tbs
South. Industry and business are rD
civilized while it is necessary foi
employees to engage in periodical bat
ties, at the expense of the workers
wives and children, to decide what i!
fair pay. Some impartial third par.
y should fix wages. The public pay:
IN the price Of coal.
Segrave, British beat the worlds
automobile record last week, flying
over the sands of Daytona Beach in
Florida at a speed greater than l66
miles an hour. His racing car, the
Mystery S." looking like a subma-
rine on land, broke the American
record by ten miles an hour.
It's an achievement interesting,
but not useful. No automobile can
so USEFULLY 166 miles an hour,
or 100 miles an hour.
Up III the air, where the road is
wide, is the place for real speed.
At Lyons in Georgia, men on trial
for kidnapping and flogging the Rev.
L. J. Jones, Jr., wore hoods. One
had pistol, another waved sword.
They told Mr. Jones they did not
approve his moral conduct, drove
him off in car, held him down, beat
him with a leather strap.
The clergyman testifes "After !
was set free | started off down the
road singing How Beautiful Heaven
Must Be-" - During the beating he
had prayed aloud. Such fortitude is
MOST unusual
Now New York may have to de-
eide about executing Mrs. Ruth Sny-
der, young, blond, curly-haired wild
ow, aged thirty-two, who recently
confessed she helped another man
murder her husband.
She says she now loathes the man
that did the killing. He seems to
have borrowed a suggestion from his
original ancestor, Adam. Friends say
he was hypnotized by the woman
whose husband he killed.
If human nature, public opinion
and the course of events work as us
ual, the man will be executed and
the woman sentenced to life irnpris-
onn1ent. There seems to be psy'
Geological objection to strappine
women in the electric chair.
We do not need war with China
and it would not be righteous war
once we have rescued our nationals
Having told Asiatics that they may
not live here, it would be playing tht
hypocrite and bully to object to Chi
= mas decision that she does not wan
us. or Europeans. on her soil. Il
we may exclude Asiatics justly, Chi
ma may, with equal justice. exclude
