ness is proposed by Miss Helvi Haahti,
a Finnish psychiatrist. who has been
conducting tests at the Institute Of
Juvenile Research of Illinois, says the
Science Magazine.
The number of children who are left
by this disease with overpowering de-
sires to steal, commit sex offenses. lie
and run away from home is sufficient
to make them serious social problem,
but most cities have made no special
provision for their education or re-
training.
The chief problem is to re-establish
the child's good physical and mental
habits, which were destroyed during
the acute stage of the disease. Miss
1aahti states. Typical physical bad

lack OF self-control that leads them to

The Road Hog

The road hog season is herein fact
we are in the midst of it-and one is apt
10 meet most any variety of this most
DANGEROUS of modern wild animals on the
streets or highways, especially of an eve
ming.
When confronted by a road hog, two
courses of procedure are open to the mo-
toriSt. he can hold his half of the road
and smash it out with the best. or give it
gangway by taking to the fields or the
ditch as the case may be. In a majority
of cases, it is the ditch.
Either course. however. is nerve-rack-
ing and often productive of extensive
damage to both car and feelings, And
not only are the feelings likely to be hurt.
but there is always the possibility of
breaking a few bones at inconvenient
places.
Road hogs may be divided into "
principal classes-the deliberate ones. who
escape hanging by a vigilante committee
only because the vieilante days are past.
and the unintentional ones whose actions
are the result of fear lest they get too
close to the ditch themselves. This latter
class is generally seized by the hoggina
impulse only when so badly blinded by
headlights that they cannot see to the
side. They imagine the results of pulling
over too far and prefer to take chances on
staying in the main track. They are ev-
en- more dangerous than the deliberate
ones, who will often lose their nerve IN
the last ten feet and swing out in time to
avoid a crash.
Public opinion is the most effective ex-
termination of the road hog. At times it
is possible to rsach them by recourse to
legal proceedings but as a rule the only
efficient treatment is a thorough dos, of
public contempt.

Don't Sell u. S. Short

1t has long been a sort of axiom in
American financial circles that it doesn't
pay to sell Uncle Sam short" In these
days when we occasionally hear from
the professional gloom spreaders it is well
to keep this truism in mind. Uncle Sam
is not going to the bow-wows. If he is.
then what is going 10 happen to the rest
of the world firstY For the economic con-
dition of the United States is 80 much
better off than any other country that
there is hardly any comparisno. So if
Uncle Sam is going TO be submerged in
depression, which so the pessimists tell
us. is to be worldwide. then the rest of
the universe is going to be in over its
head before the waters ger to Uncle Sans
knees.
AS a matter of fact. despite ~unsatis-
factory local conditions in a few parts Of
the country, the nation is forging steadily
ahead on the path of progress and prosss
peritv. The Nation Association of Manu-
facturers recently published its annual
midsummer survey. and this report shows
that there is no indication of any slnmp
in employment in the United States for
the mex few months at least. 1t is stated
that industries are operating on eighty
one per cent of their maximum employ
ment capacity, which is regarded as a re-
markable record for midsummer business.
Ninety per cent of the factories in the
country, it is estimated. are now operat-
ing on a high production scale.
In commenting on the report President
Edgerton of the Association said: Ana
lying the reports that have come to us
from all sections of the country, | believe
the whole nation can be happy in the en-
ployment and business outlook for The
summer and early fall. The situation is
healthy. The survey covered twenty
three classifcations of industry: Aericul-
tural machinery. automobiles. automobile
accessories, builders and plumbers sup.
plies, chemicals. clothing, electrical anC
radio, food. furniture. glass. hardware
and tools. instruments, jewelry. leather
lumber, machinery, music. printing. pot
terry and clay, rubber, steel and Iron
textiles and miscellaneous"
The condition of the american produce
is so much better than the condition 0
the producer in any other country of tn
world that we ought to be more tina
thankful TOR prosperity and the high stan
dard of living which has come to us, an
to see that nothing is done to ~interfer
with the application of the economic prir
ciples which have brought this conditio
about.
