More Foolish Than Brave

Arthur Schneider and Albert Buschkla have lot
in common-they can now sympathize with each
ether but the public both sides OF the Atlantic
nrobaby will sympathze with neither Of them.
Arthur YOU will remember, is the youth who
stoued awav on the transatlantic plane, Yellow Bird
lust before it hoped of from Old Orchard Me, for
paris. His added weight caused the flight to fall
short of its goal the French ers being forced down
in Spain when triumph was almost within their
grasp. He got cold reception when the French
aviators finally reached Paris.
Albert YOU have doubtlessly read, is the German
Youth who slowed away aboard the Graf Zeppelin
on its record fight to this country. Commander
Eckener enraged capped Albert in irons, put him on
2 bread and water diet aboard the drigible and an
nounced that he would be sent back to Germany
in disgrace.
In both cases, the public seemed in hearty accord
with the treatment the stowaways received Arthur
rebuff in Paris and Alberts punishment at the hands
Of DR.. Eckener seemed to meet with popular APP
prevail
All of which is as it should be-
These two young daredevils were more foolish than
brave. They accomplished nothing for the good of
themselves or for the good of aviation. Merely to
satisfy an abnormal-and mountaineering for
thrill they risked their own lives and endangered the
lives of others by their foohardiness.
The world respects and admires men who. risk
their lives to attain an object, aim principle
It has little patience especially in this day OF sane
and practical aviation, with sheer daredevils how
ever spectacular their feats may be, who recklessy
endanger the lives and enterprises of others for the
sake of mere thrill.

Destroying Confidence

So far as the public is concerned the Sherman and
the Clayton antitrust laws cassed with the eight
zenith amendment and the Volsead act when it comes
to enforcement.
Just as it has been possible for an individual to
get drink under prohibition, it has been possible for
large concerns to wrigge out from under antitrust
proceedings without being Snged.
The manner in which the interstate commerce
commission has dropped its antitrust case against
the Kansas City Southern railroad is not likely to in
spre confidence in the Clayton act, under which the
complaint was started.
The commission complained that the railroad had
violated the antitrust law by buying controlling in
terests in competing lines and then dropped the com
plant when the railroad appeared and said the stock
had been sold.
The public will be impressed by the dissenting opl-
ION Of Commissioner Joseph B. Eastman, who says that
the commission has shown "misconception Of its
duties and that there is way of determining that
L. F. Loree and his railroad actually have given up
control.

II SUPPOSE speculation in any
A form IS highly immoral, but if
an investor prefers Saratoga to Wall
Street as an approach to Eldorado
or flop house, as the case may be,
I don't see why this should auto
maticalIy make him a reprehensible
character.
After all, it is his money and if
the question Of morals be involved
it may be commended that these as
such as they are, belong to him also.
The good bishop claims a market
player is guided by skill and intelli-

at dice or selecting the 1eetest gal

Purpose of Prisons

ORDINARILY, the penal system is
l. designed to serve a three-fold
purpose.
l. To weed out and put away in
corrigibles.
3 To reform those who are ca
pable of being reformed.
3. To set an example that will
deter young people from choosing
the wrong road.
Leaving out the incorrigibles, is
it not possible to deal with thou
sands of cases, just as effectively
as they are being dealt with under
existing circumstances, by devising
penalties which will relieve the tax
payer of unnecessary burdens, per-
nit those being punished to con-
tinue as producing members of So
ciety and prevent the state from eX-
posing innocent women and children
to unjust hardship?

Improper Breathing Bad for Swimmers

when swimmers engage in these
activities
One noted specialist in diseases Of
the nose and throat has suggested
the use of oil sprayed in the nose
before the swimmer enters the
water.
There is no doubt that people
with narrow nasal passages, crooked
septum in the nose, or other abnor-
malitieS are more likely to have in
fections than those whose noses are
full of space and who have an I'M
INSTRUCTED drainage from the sinus,
Doctor Saunders points out that
correct breathing while swimming
is Just the reverse of breathing in
any other activity.
The swimmer always should in
hale through the mouth and eXhale
through the nose and mouth stimuli
taneously. The latter is difficult,
but once learned, adds greatly to
the ease and comfort Of swimming.

Wages for Children

It's good plan, says an English writer, to sub
stiute regular wage" for those pennies and nickels
YOU give the children.
Many parents bemoan the fact that their children
don't realize the value of money. How can they
when they can get it for the asking? They never
have the chance to learn.
Instead of making mere gifts OF money TO your
child suppose you try putting him-or heron
regular weekly wage" in return for little tasks per-
formed around the house. Pennies nickelS paid
for these little trifes instead of being handed out
indscriminately will instl the spirit of industry and
thrift at the formative age.
When your boy grows up and faces the World lie
viii have an appreciation of the value OF money
And when your daughter grows up and starts house
keeping she will have an infinitely better idea Oh
how to spend her money economically.
And, at the same time, you'll be developing their

What Good Is It2

XXTHAT we do know, and about
w the only thing we know, is
that good many prisoners are
pardoned or paroled.
If this is desirable, if they have
been dealt with too harshly, if it is
not necessary for them to complete
the terms for which they were SEN
fenced, why not reverse the pro-
cedure and show mercy at the be-
ginning rather than at the end?
Further than that, why not see if
some method can not be devised
which adequately would punish GER
tain classes of offenders, set the
right kind of example and protect
society, without making them pub
lie charges and causing their de-
pendentS to suffer?

Furnishing the Innocent

THIS case is worth more than a
II passing thought.
1t suggests a method of dealing
with several classes of offenders in
such a way as would help solve the
prison problem, without sacrificing
the element of discipline.
We have become infatuated with
the idea that the only way to pun
ish people and protect society is to
cage them like animals, making
them public charges on the one
hand, and depriving their depend
ents of support on the other.
AS a matter of common sense.
thousands of offenders would feel
the lash just as keenly were they
made to repair the damage they had
done.
Such treatment would offer lust
as good a chance to reform them
and just as effective a deterrent to
others.

Reform and Justice

IF divorced husbands can be made
Il to pay alimony, why can not
thieves and forgers be made to pay
for the losses they have caused?
If pardons and paroles are de-
sirable, why is not probation even
more desirable. If reform plays an
important part in our penal system,
why not start before a human be-
ing has been crushed beyond re-
coVery, or thrown into the worst
possible environment?
Admitting that certain offenses,
such as murder or rape, are beyond
the pale of restitution and that So
ciety has little recourse except to
sequestrate those who commit them,
it is not possible to deal with GER
tain other offenders in a wiser
way?

Best People

"TF the trading in stocks and bonds
IL is immoral" says Bishop Can
non, then the church should so
declare it-certainly this action
would result in very great elm
ination in a great many churches
Of some of our best people"
If Bishop Cannon ever has been
in Havana in the winter, Palm
Beach in the spring, Saratoga in
the summer or French Lick in the
fall I am sure he has met up with
some of our best people, not all of
whom were at any of the mentioned
points solely to take the waters or
bask under the beaming sun.
AS matter Of fact, in some of
these resort places only our very
best people are permitted to enter,
and I have lurking suspicion that
in many instances these people
achieved their positions Of emf

Thorstein Vehlen

Thorstein veblen, dead in California was a man
whose name best known among economists and
social students and among the public hardly at all
Yet most Of our economic writing nowadays is
tinged with his ideas. He perhaps the first major
economist in the United States to announce publicly
his belief that the capitalist system as it evolved
after the Civil had garing defects.
In series of books written in peculiar style which
would discourage all but those most interested, yet
filled with sarcastic brance he launched attack after
attack on the prevailing economic snugness. They
we're effective attacks if only that they were read
eagerly by students whose views in turn now are
widely read.
Veben in the distinguished company of Professors
Charles A. Beard and James Harvey Robinson was
denounced just after the World as unsafe
guide to youth. Looking back that queer time,
when any venturing to express an original idea
suspected it strikes that this proof he

How does a Manx cat differ from
an ordinary cat?
The principal difference is that
Manx cats have no tails, or only
stubby ones that are homeless. Oc-
casionaIy a genuine Manx cat is
born with tail ten or eleven inches
long. The hind legs are proportion
ately longer and heavier, and when
these cats run or jump they have
somewhat the action of a rabbit.

what society presunes to consider
the lower patterns of speculation he
is a lost ball in the high grass, or
words to that effect.
The good bishop would be sur
prised to know just how much skill
and intelligence it takes to start out
with the bangtails at Pimlico in the
spring and stick along with them
until late fall at Empire City with
out resorting to certain felonious
practices as a means of keeping body
and soul together.

Making Restitution

FINDER the law, Judge Nova
~ could have sent Bruno to Sing
Sing for five years.
That would have made him a de-
pendent on society and would have
injured the three children he had

Judge Nova decided that the ends
Of justice could better be served by
compelling Bruno to make restitu-
ton.

IN recent years swimming seems
l. to have become even more pop
ular as a form Of exercise and sport
than it was in the past.
Indoor and outdoor pools are
everywhere available. Indeed, it is
no longer unusual for families to
have private outdoor swimming
pools on their estates.
Even though the hygienic control
Of swimming pools has increased
greatly during this period, there
continues to be great number of
cases of infections of the sinuSeS
and of the ears among those who
are particularly active in swimming.

The Jury Which Picked This
Seattle Lad as EdiSon's
Successor Care the Boy an
AlCfm Handicap.
BY Frederick Lands :

AlCfm Handicap.
NEARY LEWIS, the opera singer,
WI has had her husband SUBJ
tracted because he interfered with
her career.
If a lady who merely ira las.
writes lipstick testimonials and has
her appendix removed has one
career" how many has the mother
who escorts her children through
measles, mumps and chickenpox,
gives 10000 baths, mends 10000 gar
ments and settles $4,000 fights.
Somehow your emotions are under
perfect control after you read about
this confidence man in Washington
who went among the social leaders
and stung them for $50 per for putt
ing their names in a bogus social
register.
This Jury which picked Walter 3.
Huston of Seattle as the one most
likely to be Edison's successor, gave
the boy a terrible handicap along
with Mr.. EdiSon's assistance
Blessed is he from whom little IA
expected.
TAKE the public speaker, for tns
Il stance. If the chairman of the
meeting spends half an hour in
telling the audience that the gentle
man about to crochet the ether ia
a larger whale than the one that
inhaled JONAH the speaker in all
probability will be unable to impress
them that he is more than gold
fish, but if the chairman should say
that he suspects that the speaker
will be a flop, then it is child's play
for him to knock them cold.

Despite the notion to the contrary,
there are quite a few members of
the human race in New York City,
as shown by the large crowd that
gathered on Broadway the other day
when four monkeys got out of a
cage.
We remember one day when the
police had to clear the street where
Wall intersects Broadway because
it was choked by people watching a
Cog which had cat up tree In
Trinity churchyard.

Possibly due to the fact that
General Harbord is the Republican
chief of staff the opponents of
Mayor Walker of New York show
real strategy in attacking him as
humorist, for it will be fatal if the
Republicans succeed in making the
people visualize him as a clown; in
fact. there are more humorists than
anything else in the political grave
yard.
A BRAHAM LINCOLN was breez-
N ing along merrily as the bell
ringer of stump artists back in the
fifties in Illinois because he was a
great humorist, but his partner, Will
liam Herndon, was philosopher
enough to know that the laughter
of the crowd, while delightful to the
one who provoked it, was not the
raw material of lasting renown, SO
he counseled the Rail Splitter to cut
out the mirth and appeal to the rea-
son of his hearers.
Lincoln took his advice and the
humorist became the prophet and
the President.
