Armored Cars

There are those IN this city who have seen army
tanks in action and to some the sight remains one
OF the supreme horrors Of the World war. Memory
of these crawling mechanical beasts belching fire into
human bodies, still brings Shudder.
This horror Of war now threatens to become one
OF the horrors OF peace-or such peace as We have
under the eighteenth amendment. The wide avenues
OF the national capital soon are to see the advent OF
the armored police car if We can believe the Wash
ington Post and from armored cars to army tanks
Is but single step.
And why not? You may ask very reasonably
Have not the rum runners taken to the use OF smoke
screens, another hideous device of war? Should not
the police whose duty it is to break UP the traffic
in liquor, be permitted the use of any machinery
required to keep them on even terms with the enemy?
Are not the lives of policemen precious as the lives
Of bootleggers?
The answer to all these questions is: Yes, yes yes
and yes again But it all seems such pity the out
growth of such unforgivabe stupidity.
For some years We have been hearing people say
the prohibition problem is merely one Of enforcement
Well the news columns are filled with enforcement
these davs 1t is rare day that death does not figure
in the story. rare day when innocent bystanders
are not endangered. Smoke screens armored cars
and next. no doubt army tanks and bombing planes
All because some people are so completely con-
WINGED that they know what is best for other people

DR.. w. J. Humphreys of the United States weather

point and produce condensation. They are:
FirSt-Contact with objects colder than itself
Second-MiXing with colder air.

The formation dew is the result of the first cause
with objects colder than itself. The ground
at night radates away the heat it has stored up dur

When this happens the ground cools the air I'M

Light fogs will form in winter as result OF this
cause when relatively humid air drifts over

Wire Won't Cure Rheumatism.

years ago developed the idea that
all sorts of rheumatism could be
cured by putting little wire strings
around the Joints. For that notion
there was no scientific support.
The most recent devices are al
legged magnetic collars hung around
the neck. with the claim that they
will magnetic the iron in the blood
and thereby cure not only rheuma-
tisn. but other chronic complaints,
All of this is hokum, with 10
basis in scientific evidence.
In every instance, the magical
basis in the same. The person feels
better because he wants to feel bet
ter and because it is the tendency
of the disease to have periods dur
ing which he feels either better or
worse.
But when the charm is forgotten
or the disease gets worse, the magic
fails,

AS to their efficacy in the con-

cures is about as good as another,
or. to tell the truth, no good at all.
The rheumatic infection brings
about Inflammation of the tissues,
which must be controlled from with

Utility Regulation

Announcement by the Governor Of the re
appointment Of a Republican to the public
service commission and the selection Of new
Democrat 70 the board is not likely to result
in any drop Of prices Of utility stocks.
Nor is there likely to be any great hope in
communities which believe that the utilities
are oppressive.
As a matter Of experience, the very fine the
orv Of regulation of Utility greed by a public
commission has lost confidence because of the
failure Of that body to see any but the utility
side Of any question
What blindness ID the commission has failed
to do. decisions in federsl courts have accom-
plished until the public mas come to the con
clusion that there is no hope Of any relief. 1t
pays, and pays, and pays.
The political activities Of members Of the
public service commission, usually along lines
in which the lobbyists for the utilities can be
found, have not tended to increase respect for
the fairness of that body.
The commission now has before it a most
important question of merging various inter
urban lines. power plants and small utilities
that are owned and controlled by the insult
interests.
The plan may bc good It may be very bad
The one certain thing about the situation IS
that the public service commission, even II IT
desired. will not know whether it IS good or
bad before it passes on the question.
The commission has few experts to advise
If. When men show some ability or capacity
for work. they mysterously disappear from
the pay rolls. either to better jobs with Prl7
vate concerns or into oblivion.
Theoretically the commission represents
public interest. In fact, it has become a per-
functory body, adopting q judicial mien and
attitude and, generally speaking, acting as a
rubber stamp for he utility attitude.
The insult interests in the state become
larger each YEAR That is not so important as
the fact that they have found It expedient TO
attract many political factors which have
nothing to do with electric service or trans
portation
radical change Of mind, if not of mem
bership. in the commission might restore It to
some sembance Of public confidence.
Otherwise, the utilities will continue to get
what they want, except in some few cities
which have been able to retain ownership of
public plants and which are protected by that
fact
There would have been more hope and more
confidence had Governor Leslie changed the
Republican member whose term expired and
who now has four more years to reflect the
utility attitude on the public board.
Some day, if the utilities get too greedy, the
public may be forced to find different answer.

the jury system to women in this
state.
The promise of a trial by peers
was not made good IN the case Of
Mary Ware bennett. Trial by peers
means a judgment by those who
have some spiritual kinship to the
accused.
This woman and these we'll
feshed, ruddy men Of Brooklyn had
nothing whatsoever in common. And
isn't it ironic that the case should
have gone as it did?
In courts of law the injunction is
strictly laid upon all who appear
that they should tell "the truth. the
whole truth and nothing but the
truth"
AS it happens Mrs, bennett has
been sentenced to 300 days in jail
for doing Just that To escape the
censor, every writer on sex topics
for the young must perjure himself
for the present law makes the truth
a felony.
Norris Ernst had no chance what
sOever to win the case. He would
have had to catch these jurors when
they were good deal younger. l
started to say that there was no SAP
in them. but the figure seems map
propriate under the circumstances,
Like all Americans they had a
sense Of humor. When the prose-
cutor Ta6e sly innuendoes the solid
Brooklynites could not restrain a
smoker. That is our custom. Sex
is something to smoker about.
If Mary Ware bennett had leered
and talked her book behind the back
Of her hand. not jury in the coun-
try would have convicted her.

Marry and Learn

- UT sober and plain sex educa-
sb ton is a more serious matter
than any anecdote about travel
ing salesman and the farmers wife.
The truth of the matter is that the
Jury Of solid and substantial men
did not convict Mrs. bennett so
much as sex education in general.
Indeed. one Of them when inter-
viewed by a reporter after the trial
said. II think when people get mar
ried that's time enough to get sex
education"
And when the reporter expressed
surprise at this theory the old gen
tleman explained. blushing furious
ly. You get it by instinct
But even this. I am afraid, was a
faulty approximation of the old
gentleman's ideas. This Brooklyn
jury had small reverence for any in
stinct except that Of revenge. These
men had married according to the
counsel Of St. Paul 1t was better
to marry than to burn.
Marriage can be a matter not un-
like winding the clock. After many
years of cold mutton one would
rather not have the matter men
toned at all,
It is extremely difficult to appeal
to the ideaisin of anybody who
wears a union suit. But though
these twelve men Of Brooklyn rea-
soned after their kind I am not
willing to be tolerant toward them.
I hope they all itch.
The lamb which is shorn to make
fat citizens SNUG and safe will not
forever be denied his proper ven
geance.
