There is something almost pathetic in the In
sistence of certain political left-overs that some
body run for the Presidency this year with q
big and distinct label as Progressive" on his
back. This demand springs up every day or
two. That the supply is not forthcoming al
most makes one doubt the fundamental law
Perhaps the supply looks too quizzically at the
nature of the demand. This rests not so much
upon actual conditions as upon political men,
cries. We had Progressive Party in 1912. To
be sure, it got pretty well submerged, at the
orders Of Colonel Roosevelt, in the Republican
Party Of 1916, but only four years ago Senator
La Toilette took the name again, to the great
delight of it's old devotees, and in that sign led
his party to overwhelming defeat and virtual
lobliteration.
That makes no difference. It is good name,
Progressive, and somebody has got to take it..
On the theory that the Scripps- Howard news
papers are Progressive, and that they have
made first choice of Mr.. Hoover, it has been as
would at once bloom out as full-fledged Pro-
gressive. He has shown no signs of doing so.
| Yet the argument is made that, whether he
does or not, Governor Smith must announce
himself red-hot Progressive, or else abandon
his campaign.
The joke of it all is that the palaver wholly
concerns names, not things. Either Of the can
didates mentioned might say that he was a
Progressive, or deny that he was, without in the
least affecting the things which he has done
and for which he stands. The whole thing is
simply question Of vacant political role
What actor will apply for it? Apparently, any
body can have it for the asking. But whethe,
anybody would be interested enough in his act
ing to sit the thing out through the campaigr
is quite another affair. However, it is clear
case of lot of fretful people who will not be

William J. Burns, head OF the detective
agency that bears his name, complains in Wash
ington that someone rifled his rooms the other
NIGHT and took certain document bearing on
the Janus contempt case which now has Burns
in court. The Inference unexpressed, is that
government agents were at fault.
For all we know Burns complaint may be
true. Possibly his rooms were invaded. But it
is terribly, terribly hard for us to work up much
indignation over it.
Do you remember few years ago, when Mr..
Burns was head Of the Department Of Justice,
and certain senators were assailing Harry
Daugherty, Burns superior? If you do, you
may recall that Department of Justice agents
at that time invaded the rooms of some OF
these senator's, searched their desks and broke
open locked drawers. It seems just to presume
that Burns knew what was going on.
Accordingly We repeat, it is terribly hard t
feel very much sympathy for him now-grant'
ing, of course, that he is telling the truth.

An article in the current Magazine Of Wall
Street remarks that idol worship is highly
important factor in stock market dealings.
BY this it means that there is whole host of
investors and spectators in Wall Street which
follows implicitly the moves of certain big
Names" If William c. Durant, for instance, is
reported buying stock in certain corporation,
the idol worshipers" rush to do likewise-with
the result that the price goes sailing.
To some extent this is based on sound reason.
Ing. If successful financier like Durant
thinks enough of stock to invest in it, it ought
to be good enough for other people to invest in,
too. But the magazine writer points out one
defect in the practice.
When one Of the "big names" sells his hold
ings, the fact usually is not advertised. Thus
tie writer says, "the idol worshipers follow the
sanctified footsteps into the stock market but
not out Of it." The net result is apt to be that
TIE unthinking investor loses his shirt.
The old rule still holds good; don't buy stocks
unless you know exactly what you are doing.

Are Toll ROADS the Solution.
In New Jersey arises plea for super-high'
ways certain to be echoed in other parts of the
country. Automobile owners are demanding
the great centers and free of highway and rail
road grade crossings.
Recognizing that the cost Of construction
and maintenance would soon bankrupt the
state it is suggested that the super-highways
be built by private enterprise, much as were
the railroads. and that toll be collected until
they are paid for.
The idea is not altogether new, but has not
been much discussed in recent years, owing to
the prevalent hope that federal, state and To-
cal governments would be able to improve ex-
listing roads and build additional mileage to
meet the nations needs. But that the use c!
cess of the rate Of building and repair now
seems established.
Aside from the constant increase in private
automobiles and motor trucks, the bus system
promises to grow so fast as to add to the con.
gestion and to increase the wear and tear or
the roads. Each new invention which cheap
ems the cost of motoring will increase thu
strain on the highways and the traffic using
them. To meet this will require ever-groW
ing sums Of money which will have to come
from the taxpayers in some form or other.
Whatever system be adopted, the countr,
will have to reexamine the entire problem o.
highways in the light of the needs Of tomor
row. Numbers, weight and speed are tn
principal determining factors. The intensit!
Of traffic will have to determine the size o
different roads. The weight of the vehicle
will have to determine the foundation and sur

YOUR CHILD,s EYES

A good deal Of good has been &C.
complished in the past few years
through the dissemination Of inform
alton about the care which should
be given in protecting the eyes of
the young child. Infections from
carelessness at childbirth were form
erly responsible for many thousands
Of cases Of blindness each year with
children who become blind even be-
fore one year Of age.
In most states the laws require
the physician to sterilize the baby's
eyes as soon as the child is born.
These laws usually compel the drug
less practitioner or the midwife to
use sterlizing measures even though
they are not otherwise permitted to
use medicinal preparations. It has
been found that the use of mild
antiseptic to cleanse the eyelids will
kill almost any kind Of infection if
it is applied Immediately after birth.
The baby does not usually recog-
nice objects until about six months,
and mothers are frequently alarmed
because the eyes do not move in
harmony when the baby is very
young. Complete coordination Of eye
movements usually does not occur
until the baby is about three months
old.
Mothers must be warned to keep
their babies eyes protected from
strong lights during the first few
months of life and at least until the
baby is old enough to sit up and
strong enough to protec.. himself by
turning away from strong lights.
In good health the baby's eyes are
not apt to give much trouble, but if
the feeding is improper, surround
ings unhealthy, and sanitary habits
not practiced, there may develop a
chain of childhood disorders which
not only affect the future health of
the child, but also have a distinct
effect upon producing errors in Wis.,
ion or eye diseases.
The diseases which more common
ly affect children during early life
are those which affect the conjunc-
tiva. the membrane which lines the
eyelids and extends over the outside
Of the eyeball. When these men,
branes become inflamed it is usually
because the baby has been fed on a
diet composed principally of devital-
lied foods. A plain milk diet, sup.
plemented by orange juice feelings
will prevent conjunctivitis and in
fact almost any Of the diseases of
the eyelids which are supposed to
come from infections Granular

fictitious origin, will not develop il

Children who suffer from eye

acidosis which irritates the eyes the
same as it affects other less sensi

Farm and Industry

A new solution for the lack Of prosperity in
small agricultural communities is proposed by
+. r. Preston, president Of the American Bank
ers' Association.
He suggests that industries locate in the
analler cities Of farm regions. This, he says,
would increase local markets for farm produce,
INCREASE public revenues and reduce taxes.
This dovetails somewhat with Henry Ford's

A Tragic Figure

In all the unpleasant turmoil surrounding the
murder trial Of young William Edward Hick-
man at Los Angeles, one figure stands out as
truly pitiful and deserving Of sympathy-the
boys mother.
That is not to say that her plight should
make his punishment less severe. 1t should not.
The fact that she is an innocent sufferer should
not be offered in extenuation of the dreadful
thing he did.
But she merits our pity, nevertheless. The
greatest sorrow that can come to mother is
hers; and while we can demand strict punish
ment for her son, we can at the same time give
her our deepest sympathy.

Lindbergh Survives the Ground Hazards
(Minneapolis Tribune)

Reassuring word comes from the Canal Zone
that Colonel Lndbergh is still physically fit.
The Lone Eagle has taken pains to correct the
report of few days ago that he is extremely
nervous and worn, and wishes it known that his
health is quite as good today as it has been at
any time during the six years he has been
flying.
It is noteworthy, however, that Colonel Lind
bergh does not deny the statement, credited to
him recently, that he would welcome double"
to take over some of his onerous social duties.
Very likely the wish was whimsically made, but
very likely, too, it reveals cross-section of the
young aviator's inner mind If we may assume
that Lindbergh is human, we may assume that
his experiences of the last eight months have
been mentally, if not physically, fatiguing.
Since last May his daily routine has been as
full and exacting as any presidential routine. 1t
is safe to say, in fact, that individual in his
tory has been feted and dined and paraded,
cheered and lionized and milled over, with quite
the same intensity that has marked the worlds
ovation to Lndbergh. Yet Lindbergh is essen
TALLY an aviator. He is not a Ward McAllister
Tor Prince of Wales. And where the strenu-
|ous business of flying leaves him virtually un-
harmed the unbroken round of banquets. re-
Iceptions, speeches and Misunderstanding is at least
Ia threat, if not an imminent one, to the young
mans physical well being
Lndbergh is deserving the crowds to hide
away for brief vacation now and then. In
that he shows good sense. Those who are in
the path Of his future flights will also show
good sense, and fine courtesy, if they will at
tempt to make moderation the keynote of their
social programs. No one can double for Lind
lbergh, but everyone can see to it that Lind
bergh, the social lion is showed just as far into
the background as Lindbergh, aviator extra
ordinary desires. As far as aviation is con-
|cerned, the Minnesota boy is practically his own
master. He plans his own flights, tests his own
Iplanes, gauges weather conditions for himself
and holds his safety in his own competent
hands. But Is far q the infinitely more dan
gerous business Of society is concerned, he is
pretty much clay in the hands Of his well-in-
tentioned admirers. Lindbergh can survive the
currents Of the upper air. there is little doubt Of
that. But the breezes which blow about the
banquet boards and through the reception halls
are something else again. These ground haz-
ards are not to be ignored, for all Lindbergh has
survived them, and with extraordinary good
health, in the hectic months since lie Bourget

presented full explanation Of the
test by L. J. O'Rourke, its director Of
personnel research, in which it ap-
pears that experienced agents were
actually given credit in ratings over
those applicants who hadn't served
in the prohibition service.
Cali the material used in the
written examination was closely re-
lated to prohibition work." says
O'Rourke. The commission prepared
a spe .ial examination in which the
subject matter dealt entirely with
prohibition work, and this test was
used in preference to the tests of
general adaptability already in use
in other examinations. BY trial
tests, it was also proved that this
test actually did measure general
adaptability.
"Case items were designed to test
the extent Of the applicants judy
ment in solving problems such as
arise in prohibition work. The prac-
ticability Of q test which measures
reasoning ability is apparent when
it is realized that q prohibition Of
ficer in the field must often rely up.
on his own judgment in handling i'm.
portant situations.
stems designed to measure the
applicants ability to interpret or.
ders on rulings were included, be-
cause the prohibition officer must
base his action on his Interpretation
of orders and rulings issued BY
headquarters.
vocabulary items were included
to test knowledge of the meaning
of the words used in rules and regu
lations. Obviously, rules and regu
lations cannot be correctly in
terpreted without knowledge Of tn,
meaning Of the words in the regula
tions. Previous studies, moreover
have indicated that vocabulary item
have also high value in selecting
individuals Of superior general in
telligence."
Pains were taken ITO make the ex
animation such "as to make it evi
dent that any person who fails t
make a passing score does not pos
sess the qualifications that woul
justify his being assigned to q pc
sition in the prohibition service"
