Save That Fee

IF If is the desire Of the state officials who
have charge of issuance Of drivers licenses to
see that every driver gets license, they will be
happy over the fact that The Times is giving
free notary service to any applicant who comes
to this Office.
IF it IS their purpose to get as many notary
fees as possible into hands of those who will
have more time for work for political ma
chine. they VIII be very unhappy.
The indiscriminate granting of licenses,
without any examination. may or may not be
Of value in making driving more safe and in
reducing accidents. That remains to be seen.
Certainly the drafting of a law to make it
IS difficult as possible to obtain license unless
25-cent fee is paid TO the established agencies
could have no other purpose than the collecting
Of these fees.
The designations of agencies, except those
operated by two automobile clubs which have
divided the state between themselves, III
dicates that the selections were along political
lines. In one county the vice-chairwoman of
the Republican party of the state will draw,
so If is estimated, about $4,000 for month S
work.
It is because The Times believes that there
IS something wrong in forcing good citizens
to pay good money for bad politics that it en-
ployed q notary public and offers to certify
all applications free Of charge
The response indicates that the people have
about the same idea as The Times. There is d
deep resentment against imposition and gouge.
If YOU have neighbor who is SO IN
fortunate as not TO be reader of The Times,
do neighborly act and tell him to save the
quarter by coming to The Times on his way
to the Statehouse.
Remember that every member of the family
who drives a car must have one of the licenses
before July /.
Every person must make a separate applica-
ton. That means that every person must ap-
ply IN person.
Come to The Times Tell your neighbors If
the law is good, The Times is making it better
If it is bad, The Times IS helping to take out
part of the sting

Perhaps it is not too much to hope. despite his

in the fulness of time he may reveal himself
who walks and talks and breathes as other men

The Cave Man Group

A SISTED by some of the
N greatest anthropologists, Fred
erick Blaschke of Cold Spring, N. Y,
designs a group to depict the cave
man in his natural state.
The group now is on exhibition
at the Field museum in Chicago.
1t not only depicts a cave man
and his family, but the cave as well
and some of the activities going on
in it, as they might have appeared
in France $4,000 years ago.
There is a man of SIS, just home
from a hunt; an old woman, a
mother with babe in arms and a
boy of IL or 10 gnawing a. bone.
No one living in the present day
could look at this group without a
great degree of satisfaction. but
what would the cave man think if
he were to come back and see it?
Would he recognize himself, his
home and his companions, or would
he find something to laugh at in
our conception of what he looked
like and what he did?

This is large sugar consumption,
but it must be remembered that the
sugar is not eaten all at once, but
is distributed through a wide variety
of foods, day after day, largely with
the idea of making them more pal
atable.
The average stewed tomatoes, or
other vegetables served in reStau-
rant and in many American homes,
would hardly be eatable without
considerable seasoning. Hence peo-
pie eat more sugar ard, since this
provides more energy than they use
in exercise. they put on weight.
ITO reduce ten pounds entails
almost no discomfort, says Dr.,
McCollum. but to reduce 100
pounds is an heroic undertaking.
Most authorities are convinced
that it is not safe to take off weight
too rapidly, The way to reduce is
to eat less than the days require
ment for energy, and by increasing
the expenditure of energy through
exercise, to use up the material from
the body.

Probably few of you realize that

use as much electricity as all the

it unnecessary for factories to clus-

MYTH so many excellent issues
w whimpering to be taken up, it
is pity any heat and passion
should go into the discussion of the
high-hat casino in Central park. 1
am willing to grant at the outset
there is no reason why an expen-
sive night club should be set up in
the middle of city property.
But for that matter there was
never any particular excuse for the
existence Of its predecessor. Proba-
bly, the wealthy hackers of the new
scheme are chiefly moved by a de-
sire to display themselves.
Next we shall hear of the subway
station at Times Square being roped
off for an eight-course dinner.
Nevertheless, I can not find with
in myself any vast Indignation about
the whole business. The tabloid no
ton that menu printed in French
is a menace to the republic leaves
me cold.
the opening did not tread upon the
toes of the poor in order to reach
Urbans gallery of wonders. The
rights of the common people in
Central park are precisely what they
we're before.
In fact, it seems to me as if there
should be more fun for us members
of the oppressed class than ever be-
fore. From now on, we have the
opportunity of peering through the
windows of the little palace and
making faces at the diners as they
eat their caviar.
Speaking of night clubs, municipal
or otherwise, Texas Guinan seems
happy in her exile far out on the
Merrick road.
Apparently Emerson, if indeed he
were the one, should have men
toned cabarets as we'll as mouse
traps.

AN ANTARCTIC VOYAGE
June 10

IN June 10, 1912, Lieutenant
~ Charles Wilkes and his ex-
ploration party were welcomed back
to New York after four-year voy-
age in the Antarctic.
Wilkes expedition was the first
ever subsidized by the government
for scientific purposes and was au-
thorized by an 1886 act Of congress
A great mass Of valuable scientific
data was compiled during the voy-
age and afterWard published IN
nineteen large volumes.
Wilkes claim to the discovery Of
an Antarctic continent has not al
ways been upheld, but Sir Earnest
Shackleton and Sir Douglas Nav
son later confirmed Wilkes discov-
cries.
In addition to the fame which
came to Wilkes by virtue of this
ambitious voyage of exploration, he
gained a reputation for his naval
activities during the Civil war.
On Nov. 8, 1861, he stopped the
English mail steamer Trent and re-
moved from it Mason and Shdell
the Confederate commissioners to
England and France respectively
This action brought a diplomatic
crisis with England, known in his
tory as the Trent Affair"

Here's List of Reducing Foods

The average grown person takes
2.40O to 2.700 Galleries a day for his
body needs. If he takes less than
this amount of food. the fat &C.
posted in the body will be required
to make up the difference.
With proper selection OF food and
with adequate exercise it is easy to
reduce one-quarter of pound each
day.
People who are reducing are
warned particularly against rich
salad dressing, sugar, custards, can
dies, cakes, pies, rich gravies, fat
fish, fat meats. nuts, cream, fried
foods. or cream soups.
The foods particularly recon-
mended in a reducing diet include
grapefruit. cottage cheese, eggs, but
termilk. orange juice, lemonade, tea
or black coffee, lean beef, chicken
turkey and lamb, and the following
vegetables: asparagus, cauliflower,
cabbage, celery, cucumber, spinach
lettuce, string beans. tomatoes and
onions.

Why, yesterday. when I was try

the cruelty which mankind strives

Last night the sun went pale to bed,
The moon in halos hid her head.

Hark how the chairs and tables crack

Her cornS with shooting pains torment her,
And to her bed untimely send her;
Loud euack the ducks. the peacocks cry,
The distant hills looking nigh;
How restless are the snorting swlne
The busy flies disturb the kline,
Low DER the grass the swallow wings
The cricket too. how sharp he sings!

AEOST American women now re-
NI alize that starvation diets
are dangerous and that body weight
must be controlled in relation to the
maintenance of good health.
Therefore. the strange unbalanced
diets that dominated the scene some
five years ago have given way to
sensible dietary schemes.
One of the leaders in the field
of nutrition in this country, DR..
E. V. McCollum of Johns Hopkins
university, has listed some Of the
fundamental considerations that
should be kept in mind in develop
ing reducing diets.
DR.. McCollum points out that the
cultivation of the sweet tooth, $"
the wrong selection of food, and the
lack Of sufficient exercise are the
primary reasons for reducing diets.
The American consumption of sugar
approximates 105 pounds per capita
per year.

Pace Of PrOgreSS

THOUGH stars and prodigies set
Il the pace, their performances do
not indicate the capacity of average
folks.
Progress must have a pace, but
in the final analysis, it depends on
what average people can Go,
The fact that Captain Seagrave
has driven an automobile more than
two hundred miles an hour is Of
very little consequence compared to
the fact that twenty-five million
ordinary folks are driving them
every day.
If the crowd can't move with a
fair degree of swiftness and en-
durance, it means very little that
one in a million can run like a
deer.
