body had smiled at her, nurses had
brought her things and brushed
her hair, the doctors had been
sympathetically interesting, kind,
understanding. And she had been
!; homesick. How could she have
been, she asked longing for the
peace of the place. Well, she had
been homesick for jared. for this
hale blue-eyed young giant who
was her husband. Never once had
she failed to cry when the sisters
sung vespers and she knew night
was coming down and she was
alone in the big white-peopled
place, far, far from Jared. In her
mind now as she lay she dwelt up
on his strength. Perhaps if she
thought of his health and vigor it
would help her to gain them for
herself. She must have some will
power as he suggested. eff you
think you're all right you are all

was perfectly true. Perhaps sh.,

NEW YEARS DAY

January 1, marking the beginning of the
year, has been observed as public holiday
for many centuries, certainly in Rome since
the reformation of the calendar by Julius
Caesar in the century before Christ.
Owing to the confusion in dates which
has resulted from the imperfections of var
ious calendars, which caused skipping of
dates at various times, New Years Day may
be said to be merely an arbitrary designa-
ton. AS late as 1752 the adoption of the
Gregorian calendar by England and the
American colonies caused skip of II days.
However, regardless of the day desig-
mated as New Years at various times and in
various countries, it has been generally OBJ
served as holiday.
The Romans celebrated it with process
sions, abandonment of litigation and strife,
exchanging of visits and gifts, feasting and
merrymaking. Early fathers of the Chris
tian church did not approve OF these festivi-
ties, but recommended that the day be de-
voted to meditation, scripture reading and
works of charity.
But about the fourth century, when De-
ceniber 25 had been agreed upon for the OBJ
servance of Christ's nativity, New Years
Day, falling one week later, began to as
sumo a sacred character as the anniversary
of the circumsion, and as such it still figures
in the calendars of certain branches of the
church.
Other religious faiths, such as the Mo-
hammedan and Jewish, have their own cal
endars with distinctive holidays and festi-
walls, in which their New Years Day has
corresponding significance to that of Christ
endom.
Among all it is considered an appropri-
ate day for reviewing the events of the pre-
vious year, the making Of new resolves and
the adoption of plans for the future. It is
also the occasion for the expression of good
wishes. We join in the spirit of the day in
wishing all Happy New Year.

A WINNING FIGHT

Although many more battles remain to
be fought, it is encouraging to note the re-
markable progress which has been made in
the war against tuberculosis during the last
Is years, in which the death rate from this
dreaded disease has been cut in half.
In 1904 there were only 9,1O7 beds
available for tuberculosis patients in hospit-
ais and sanatoria in the United States, as
compared with 1885 beds in 1929.
Much of this advance is due to the work
of the National tuberculosis Association
during the quarter century Of it's existence.
By emphasizing the need for rest, fresh air,
proper food, sanitary living and working
conditions, as well as the need for suitable
institutions for the treatment Of cases in
their various stages, this association has
made wonderful contribution to the public
welfare.
But there are still 100000 cases of tub
erculosis in the United States.

LAW-RIDDEN, BUT NOT LAW-RULED
Philadelphia Record

Forty-six new laws per day, every day
in the year.
That is the rate at which legislatures of
1929 have been adding to the contents of the
statute books.
In addition to national laws enacted by
Congress) 1921 new state laws have been
put through this year.
Whether America is or is not a law-less
nation depends upon the sense in which the
word is used; lacking laws, or lacking in re-
spect for law.
Texas legislators submitted $500 bills
this year, holding four special sessions in ad-
dition to the regular session. One bill in ten
was passed; 3,150 went to the waste basket; !;
$50 were enacted.
In New Jersey 379 out of SO6 bills were
passed; in New York, 713 out of 3,417; in
Pennsylvania, 964 out Of 2,348.
The lawmakers of California and North
Carolina passed the thousand mark, in laws
enacted, in each state
The National Industrial Council, analy'
zing these laws, rejected or enacted, finds
that freak bills were defeated more general
ly than in previous years.
Proposals of new taxes we're numerous.
Welfare laws were offered in great number.
Four states, California, Minnesota, Utah and
Wyoming, joined the six which had already
adopted old age pensions in various forms.
The more laws the less law. That isfo
say, when legislatures give themselves up ts
a revel of particular legislation, sound prin-
ciples are obscured When simplicity is sac
rifced, effectiveness is lost.
The excess of laws bewildSrs the public.
1t opens the way to endless litigation by
which lawyers profit, and no one else. It
hampers business; manufacturers and trad
ers are harassed and hobbled.
Above all, the multiplicity of laws tends
powerfully to discourage respect for law as
an instrument. The Industrial Council de-
finitely urges President Hoover's Law En-
forcenlent Commission to use it's influence to
check the flood.
But the commission can only recon-
mend, it cannot act Neither the President
nor Congress can compel the state Iawmak-
ing bodies to limit their output.
Lawmakng reflects the character of
the people represented by the lawmakers.
When we weary of propaganda and "group
action" our statute books will be simplifed
and clarified.

ADVERTISING

The 240 members Of the American AS
sociation of Advertisers will buy space to the
value of $206,000,000, during 1880, or $780,
100000 more than their expenditure in 1929,
according to the president of the associa-
tion. This represents an increase of II per
cent.
This announcement was made in connec-
tion with the survey of business and indus
trial activities being made at the suggestion
Of President Hoover, after comforting with
leaders in the various basic industries.
It should be encouraging TO the country
at large that these national advertisers have
sufficient faith in the soundness of our eco
nomic structure to press forward with in
creased vigor in their sales efforts for the
coming year.

The young prince, one of the most useful, hard
working citizens of Great Britain said to British
industrialists:
1--WE British think we are very efficient, and we
at the head of the world in lots of things but
keep in the van we must be conscious of that very
valuable thing-the knowledge that learn
thing every day. To put it in three words: We
must learn to adopt, to adapt and to improve"
We Americans think very efficient. In
fact, absolutely of it. But do not
always adopt, adapt, improve"

She got up, opened the door,
holding the knob and looked in
credulously out.
"Oh, Jared, dear!" she cried
finally, and bent her gaze on the
creature, half-sitting, half-lying, on
the small porch. For second she
thought she must be delirous. That
thing, disheveled, smeared with
mud from which straw obtruded.

supinely clingins to the porch, was
never strong, sturdy Jared Mead
ows, successful young farmer and
stockman, her mighty husband?
AS she looked down at him from
the doorway anguish darkened his
eyes, contorted his dirt-begrimmed
face, twisted his pallid lips, caused
his jaw, his chin to quiver.

pered, "over "a pig. K-killed the

She simply forgot herself, forgot

had arrived and tall Mrs. Meadows

sons eyes-yN ;terday. In another
half hour Jared Me.dows was in his
bed, the doctors busted with the
broken leg, with the broken arm.
In another half hour Jared Mead
ows in splints and bandages, lay
inert and colorless. In another half
hour the blue of Jared Meadows
eyes was visible to his wife as she
leaned over him, flushed and in
tent. His lips opened and she
heard:

"No-no. Dou't hurry me,
doc" He lay silent for moment.
And then Phyllis, bending close,
heard: "And keep Phyllis in bed.
Take care of Phyllis, poor girl. Doc
take care of Phyllis"
Phyllis Meadows took her turn
at fainting.
When she awoke she was on a
cot beside the bis bed where Jared
lay stretched. Jared's blue eyes
were regarding her.
"TI get up. I'1l-PH have your
dinner ready"
"Lie down." came in a terse
command from her lord. "You
take care of yourself. The doctors
know what they're about"
Jarde's eyes of that bright, un-
clouded blue that denotes a nature
not given to softness, to concern
or the woes of the world! Phyllis
knew they would never seem sc
again. Strength that has known
weakness, has felt pity, is strength

NIGHT GOLF TOURNEY
Harold Jug" McSpaden, Pro At Victory Hills, Has Honor of Be- ing First Nocturnal Champion,

Kansas City, Aug. LP--The first nocturnal golf champion is Harold Jug" McSpaden, pro al Victory Hills, Kansas City kas., who early today finished q double round of the flood lighted first nine holes at the Eastwood Hills course here in 6S, two under par and led a field of more than sixty, including Bob Nc Crary of Des Moines, trans Miss issippi champion, who shot a 7I. The field included the best profess sional and amateur links talent in Kansas City.
 Several hundred galleryites turn cd out for the tourney.
 Caddies armed with flashlights searched, sometimes unsuccessfully, for balls which strayed from the lighted straight and narrow. and players experienced some difficulty in judging distance and following the balls in flight when they soarel above the scope of the large illumi- nators.
 The innovation was pronounced successful, however, especially by the several who shot near par fig ures. Some found the artificial light confusing and scores consequently ranged into the late sos.
 McCrary, who lost one ball out side the lighted area, declared that with a few readjustments of the 10a ref1ectors erected at a cost of about S10,000 night golf would be entire ly satisfactory.

 They tackled another game to their advantage over the Orioles yes terday by defeating Reading IS to 10 while Montreal was trimming Baltimore II to 2. IL was free hit ting at Reading with the champions smacking a quartet of keys hurlers for 22 safeties. Reading was away to an early lead. getting nine runs and 12 hits off Ira Smith in the first three innings but Littlejohn came to the rescue and stepped the Keys dead.
 Montreal and Baltimore also en- gagged in a slugging orgy, with the Royals punching their blows in the first. seventh and ninth innings Roy J. Weaver and NJ. Weaver took turns on the mound for the Orioles but each were ineffective as IS blows indicate. Four of the 16 hits were home runs by Henry, Gullcy. Head and Conley.
 Opportune hitting gave the Jersey City Skeeters a ' to 5 night triumph over the Buffalo Bisons. One big inning in which five hits netted five runs decided the issue. The Bisons Threatened twice therpa after but Lefty Guise did a bit of brilliant re- lief hurling.
