P%RECOCIOUS YOUTH

It is going a bit further than is necessary to assert
that the faults Of the younger generation are not to be
blamed on youth alone. Though that charge is some
times heard. it is a fact that the Older generation Is not
waging aggressive war against the younger. They are
conducting a moderate, almost apologize, defensive.
All they ask is that the faults OF the younger genera
ton shall not be entirely ascriaed to the older genera
t.cn, which is the normal procedure.
Sound reasons for the so-called discomfort among
modern youth are cited. The establishment following
upon a World war. for which the older generation must
be held chiefly responsible, because it was in charge of
the world, is real. And yet in this matter OF the World
war something OF the responsibility rests on young shoul-
ders; If not young men and women, then young nations.
The great catastrophe was not Immediately prccipi-
tated by the big nations, but by the little nations eager
1or their own place In the sun. The match was lighted
IN the Balkans, where the ambitions of a half dozen little
peoples clashed. The principal mistakes and crimes"
alleged against the peace settlements do not lie against
the big nations. The territorial settlements most often
questioned are those b~enefiting the little nations-Servia
Rumania, Czechoslovakia, Poland. Present uncertainties
are connected chiefly with the large brood of infant re-
publics. They are young and they want to grow, often
unreasonably.
Young nations, like young people, glorify their own
Importance. They are nationalistic to excess and place
Their own destiny and welfare before that of the rest of
the world. And all the world can do is to be patiently
tolerant until they grow up.

MELONS AND CANTALOUPEs

AS far as we can tell from recorded
history, the origin Of melons was in
Africa and India, where they orig
inally grew wild. A cantaloupc is a
special kind of melon which was de-
veloped in the city of Cantaloupe,
Italy. The watermelon, which was
cultivated by the Egyptians, is rel
ished by the natives during the hot
months. The Negro race, whose nat
ural home seems to be in Africa, is
noted for it's fondness for this de-
licious fruit Of the vine.
Watermelon is one of the largest Of
our fruits. Sometimes it weighs as
much as forty pounds. Only the in
side, rose-colored pulp is eaten, which
has a sweetish flavor, having a sugar
content of over six per cent, the rest
being over 90 per cent water, with a
small amount Of protein, fat and min
eral matter.
Muskmelon or c%antaloupe is more a
native Of hot climates. The flavor and
odor are possibly more delicate than
even that of the watermelon.
In America, the watermelon was
cultivated by the Indians as early as
1854. Sir Walter Raleigh reported
this fact.
The southern states arc important
commercial growers of melons, but
the largest crop in America is pro-
duced by California. Last year the
value Of the melon crop from Imperial
Valley and other sections Of Cali
fornia was over ten and a half mil
lion dollars, while Rocky Ford, Colo
RADIO, the home of the Rocky Ford can
taloupe, and Arizona each produced
only about three thousand carloads
compared to thirteen thousand car
loads from the Imperial Valley, alone.
A great value to the use of melons
comes from the fact that they afford
SO much natural water in its purcst
form.
Melons when taken as a cooling
food should best be taken alone and
not with a meal. Many people COM
plain Of having a good deal of stom-
ach and intenal gas after eating
melons, but this is seldom noticed if
the melons are used as a meal and not
in addition to a meal containing many
other food products. An enjoyable
luncheon may be had during the sum-
mcr months by using cantaloupes a la
mode for the noon meal. This is a
dish prepared by cutting the canta-
loupe in half, cleaning out the seeds,
and filling the center with some kind
of ice cream. In some restaurants,
an egg meringue is put over this dish
and the cantaloupe baked for only a
few seconds under the broiler in order
to brown the mcringue.
When buying melons it is we'll to
choose those that seem to have a firm,
ripe flesh. They should never be
eaten in an unripe or over-ripe state,
as a certain mild poisoning is often

VIBRATIONS

why 40 pirds migrate? It is a mystery even to biol
ogists who have devoted years Of study to the phenom-
enon. Scientists have been seeking the answer for 4
century and are as much in the dark today as before
they undertook the search.
While these studies. which have been fads with many
men Of science. have cleared up many misunderstanding
concerning bird life. not one Of the students can more
than guess the meaning Of the arrival of the first robin
n the spring or the southwark flight Of the reese in
the late fall.
One conclusion Is that while "the entire act Of miera-

movements BY seasonal and climatic changes in certain
species until It has become hereditary instinct and .

they contract the kimono habit: they go in for delicatcs-

the house with relatives; they don't get around to tidying
things up; they go into that after marriage slump; they
lose their husbands.

Gadsden's Bargain
Detroit News

" IVCW6I
TOT the southwestern corner OF the United States June
80 is the seventy fifth anniversary of the most significant
GATE IN history. The Treaty Of Mesila, which made pos
slble the Gadsden Purchase and increased our national
holdings on the southwestern border by $4,000 square
miles, was signed by officials In the City Of Mexico in De-
cember, 1853, but 1t was not until the following June that
it was ratified by the senate and proclaimed to the ma
ton.
On the part Of the United States the negotiations were
conducted by James Gadsden, our minister to Mexico,
and. as the present generation Of Americans view them,
very successfully. 0adsdens bargain has already repaid
itself more than . hundredfold. Some OF the richest
mines IN America are within It's borders. In fact, the
United States owes two-fifths Of her COPPER supply to the
Gadsden Country. There. too. are silver mines and gold
mines. with broad valleys that yield bumper crops Of
less herds Of cattle.

Editorial Comment
Motor Vehicle Fatalities
New o TiYmcs)

Last April the Travellers Insurance Company Of Hart
ford predicted that 10000 persons would be killed in mo-
tor accidents IN the United States this year. The num-
tr In 1928 was 27.500. Statistics collected since the first
OF the year indicate an increase Of 10 per cent In 1929.
Periodically the department Of commerce publishes re-
ports from 70 cities with q population Of about 49, 100000.
These are cities in which traffic rules are supposed to be
rigidly enforced. In the ~ffty-two weeks ending July IL
there was in the 70 cities named by the department of
commerce an increase Of 734 fatalities over the CORE
spending period in 1928.
Many more cars and trucks and faster driving (up to
sixty miles an hour would account for increasing casual
ties. unless there was improvement in the skill and care
iuhncss OF drivers. Unfortunately. the average driver
likes to drive fast, and does not always have his car under
control in emergencies.

Indiyidualism on Last Legs

Alexander H. Lcgcc, chairman of the Federal Farm
board. says the boards first job will be TO make the Amer
lean farmer comparatively minded" = by "hich, OF
course. he means that the farmer must be taught the adj
yantages that come from sinking his illoiVioual.sm IN d
concerted effort to work with his fellows.
From the first it has been apparent that the success
OF the new farm relief plan would depend almost en-
tirely on the degree to which farmers could be induced
to work together. If they can learn to cooperate iuiiy
the board will help them greatly; If they can't, the board
won't be able TO do much for them.
There is a significance to this that goes beyond the
confines of the present farm depression. For We are
seeing a final assault on one OF the last strongholds OF
individualisn. A long epoch is coming to an end.
The whole history Of modern civilization is nothing more
nor less than the story of the decline of individualism. AS
the world has grown smaller and each man has been
brought into closer contact with his ~neichbors. the race
has found cooperation forced upon 1t. In spite OF them
selves, people have been compelled to watch what their
~neighbors are doing and guide their own actions accord
lngly.
This tendency has gone a long way in most fields. The
workingman can never act as an individual. He bands
himself into unions and blends his own aims with the
aims Of his %coNorkers. Similarly, no manufacturer can
play a lone hand. He has to join trade associations. base
his activities on the activities OF widely scattered men,
take into account dozens Of happenings that he would
not, formerly, have thought of any meaning to him.
The farmer, however, has maintained his %indcpcnd-
ence. He has kept the freedom that the farmer always
had; freedom to run things on his own property exactly
rs he pleased, without paying any attention to what other
farmers were doing. And-in the opinion Of the farm
board-it is precisely this independence, handed down
from the very dawn of civilization, that has at last got
him into trouble.
independence and freedom. as a matter of fact. arc
words that we shall have TO look OH in a new light.
If we think of them in their old meaning, as giving us
the right to do exactly as we please. without regard for
the way our actions affect others or the way others ac-
tons affect US, we might as we'll admit that We have lost
them forever. No man, in this modern age, can hope
to live for himself alone.
There is a deeper sense, however, in which freedom
and independence are ours now more than ever before.
A mans real life isn't his job. It's his home and his
friends and his recreation, and what goes on inside of
him. And this era Of cooperation. cutting down our
freedom of action in one field, is making us frcer than
ever in this one.

l.. S. AND SPAIN END WAR
On August IL, 1898, hostilitics be-
tween the United States and Spain
ceased when plcnipotcntiarics of the
two nations signed a peace protocol
in Paris.
The treaty was signed about two
weeks after the Spanish government,
realizing the hopelessness of a strug-
gle which had become unequal, made
oyertures Of peace through the
French ambassador, M. Cambon, who
had acted as the friendly representa-
tive of the Spanish interests during
the War
Under the terms of the treaty,
Spain relinquished all claims of SOW
ereignty over and title to Cuba, and
cedcd the Philippine Islands, Guam
and Porto Rico and several other
islands in the West Indies to the
United States.
The United States agreed to pay
Spain $40, 900 900 within three months
after the exchange of the ratification
of the treaty.
Immediately after the signing of
the treaty, President Mckinley issued
a proclamation suspending hostilities
and on Aug. IS, the muster-out of
10O, 900 volunteers, or as near that
amount as was found to be practicable,
was ordered.
