Long before the candidate arrived

THE OLD FOLKS

Thank God for the old folks! They
supply the balance so necessary in
not only this but every day and age.
Youth may rail at the older gener-
alton for being "old foggies" and
behind the times" But snowy
crowns bring a seasoning of reason
ing which the snap judgment of
youth lacks Old age can bark back
and profit from years Of experience
while youth, though fired with en-
thusiasm and ambition, has yet to
undergo the ordeal of fire. This
"pep" in youth is, of course, a COM
ponent part of life, but we also need
that sageness and maturity of opin-
ion which comes only with advanc-
ed years.
One generation, in effect, acts as a
check on the other, yet it cannot be
denied that youth has in the past,
does now and always must depend
on its elders to impart wisdom and
good advice. Especially today, when
youth is inclined to be reckless,
should the admonition and guidance
of the old folks count for the value
that it really is.
Life is as the cycle of seasons
which needs its autumn as much as
its spring. Spring is a beautiful ex-
preston of budding life. But autumn
is none the whit less beautiful-and
necessary. Though youth, like spring
gives us love and roses, it remains
for autumn to produce the harvest.
In other words, it is age which gives
the needed mellowness to the green
sprouts of rash youth.
Again we say, God bless the old
folks!-The Pathfinder.

VIVA LINDBERGH!

Now that Lindbergh is back home
with the echoes of thousands and
thousands of Latin-American "Vivas"
lingering in his memory, and anoth-
er striking chapter of accomplish
ment added to the history of avia-
ton it seems to be a question with
many people as to what should be
done with him.
Suggestions have come from both
the War department and Congress
requests, in fact-that he stop maxi
ing records and taking risks. This
is in line with the peculiar practice
of both those institutions. Whenever
an army officer distinguishes himself
by a brilliant show of ability, by an
accomplishment that challenges at
tention, the War departments i'm
pulse is to retire him. With some re-
ward and a generous pension, Of
course. The idea seems to be that
what such a man desires, or should
desire, is to quit.
AS to Col Lindbergh, the whole
country loves and admires him
more unanimously, perhaps, than in
the case of an yother famous Amer
lean during his lifetime. This is due
not only to his remarkable accom-
plishments but to his frank, modest
and unassuming character and dis
position. Where was there ever a
young man who seemed less spoiled
and pulled up by such extensive and
continuous national and information
al adulation? We all note it, and our
admiration for him and our pride in
him increases.
If fatal accident should happen
to Lindbergh the whole nation
would be plunged into sorrow, and
tears would be shed in many foreign
chimes.
Yet that is no reason why, he
should be put on a shelf-or on a
There is no occasion for
the War department or Congress to
advise Lindbergh what to do. He
has shown himself to be a young
man of rare and cool judgment. He
can be trusted to decide on his ac-
-ivities for himself.

ordinary span of human life before

HENRY FORD ON THE
VALUE OF PROHIBITION
(From Forum Ton Marchl


The gap betwee nthe people and
their leaders is nowhere more dis
cernible than in the matter of liq-
uor. Some leaders are still for it;
the people are now, as they have
never been, against it. The United
States is dry not only legally but by
moral conviction. You must find the
peoples sentiment where the peo-
pie live. The American home is dry,
and the American nation gets its
tone from the home and not from
the wet propaganda. In common
decency the liquor generation
should be allowed to die in silence.
Its agonies should not be the con-
slant topic of American journals.
Prohibition was intended to save
the country and generations yet to
come. There are million boys
growing up in the United States who
have never seen a saloon, and who
will never know the handicap of
liquor, either in themselves or their
relatives; and this excellent cOndi-
ton will go on spreading itself over
the country when the wet press and
the paid propaganda of booze are
forgotten. There should be no mis-
take about it. The abolition of the
commercialized liquor trade in this
country is as final as the abolition
of slavery. These are the two great
reforms to which moral America
committed itself from the beginning
of its history.
The coming of prohibition has
put more of the workman's money
into savings banks and into his
wife's pocketbook. He has more leis-
ure to spend with his family. The
family life is healthier. Workmen
go out of doors, go on picnics, have
time to see their children and play
with them. They have time to see
more, do more-and, incidentally,
they buy more This stimulates bust
ness and increases prosperity, and
in the general economic circle the |
passes through industry |
again and back into the worl1man's |
pocket. 1t is a truism that what |
benefits one is bound to benefit all,
and labor is coming to see the
truth of this more every day.

CLEANLINESS A BASIS
OF PUBLIC HEALTH

The old-time health officer, who
went about lacking up quarantine
signs-if indeed there ever was such
personals disappeared. Today
the efficient public health comrnis-
sioner, delegating this duty to sub
ordinates, not only enforces the
sanitary code but seeks to guard the
citizens of the community against
the danger of disease before it can
attack them. The present health
consciousness" of the average we'll
informed American may be credit
ed in large part to the efforts of
public health officers to teach them
how to protect themselves.
DR.. Herman N. Bundesen, Presi-
dent of the American Public Health
Association, calls attention to this
new emphasis on education in re-
cent statement made public by
Cleanliness Institute.
1.-THE enforcement of the health
laws and the sanitary code will al
ways be a part Of the health COM
missioner's duties but should never
form the major part" declared DR..
Bundesen. There are other far
more potent ways of improving the
community health. One of the first
things that suggests itself is clean
illness. Cleanliness is an important
basis for good health. This means a
clean body, inside and out, a clean
mind with clean thoughts, clean
clothing, clean food and clean envir-
onment. These are primary, indis-
pensable factors for health.
Cleanliness is easy of attainment,
involving only small expenditure at
most. Soap and water are not ex-
pensive. Flies and other insects
which frequently are the carriers of
disease make their home in filth.

The modern health officer brings
home to the public, in striking
phrases and pictures that can be I'M

filth lie the way to disease.
