Bull Fights ON Horizon

MFRS. FISKE undoubtedly Is
IYI right in denouncing the in
PRODUCTION of bull-baiting as a
probable prelude to bull-fighting in
this country. Enough has occurred
in the field of entertainment to
warrant the suspicion that we
Americans easily could reconcile
ourselves to the bloody spectacle.
Having gone to the jungle for
music, art, literature and certain
theories of sociology and economics,
there is little reason to suppose that
we would avoid it in recreational
matters, if given the slightest en-
couragement.
Most Americans attend bulfghts
when they visit countries where
bullfghts are allowed, and the fact
that an American youth has made
something of a name for himself
in the business generally is re-
garded as another feather in our
national cap.
Considering how gracefully we
came to recognize the mid-Vlc-
torian leg show as an artistic per-
Torrance, why should any one
doubt our ability to appreciate the
stabbing of bulls and goring of
horses as an intellectual triumph?

T BELIEVE it was Samuel Butler

pie that nothing is well done or
worth doing unless it is done easily.
The theory appeals to me, but
easily isn't the right word. Joy
fully" won't do, either, because that
sounds too much like carpenter
shop in a musical comedy. Perhaps
it will suffice to say that all good
work goes with the grain.
Yes, believe that absolutely. This
is not a defense of 1aziness, al
though there is a great deal to be
said for laziness, which often has
been vili1ed in copybook maXims.
1t is possible to expend a terrific
amount of energy and effort and yet
never violate your own inclination.
But 1 think it becomes increas-
ingly evident that mankind has
set up a craven image when it wor-
ships work of all kinds, even that
which is given grudgingly or under
protest.
A world suffering from the pangs
of overproduction must see that toll
for tolls sake is an ideal not only
silly but actually harmful.

Peoples Voice

Editor Times-We have heard
much recently of the inroads motor
buses and trucks are making into
the railroads revenues. But 1.-THE
Railway Conductor" throws some
light on the matter that I hope is
important, to warrant publication.
1t said:
Since the average pay of rail-
road employe is $1,743 year, every
railroad employe lost to a COM
munity through traffic diverted to
the truck lines means the loss of
this amount to the merchants and
other business interests.
CAS- the truck lines do not employ
local forces, they do not add any
thing to the purchasing power of
the communities they serve.
"At one point the railroad found
that the loss of business to the
truck lines was so severe that it
was not warranted in keeping it's
station OPEN This would have left
the community without telegraph
service and the merchants also
would have lost the trade of the
railroad agent.
1t was found that if all the
freight moving to and from the
community was shipped by rail
there would be enough to justify
retention of the agent. The shippers
Of the community decided that be-
yond question it was to their inter
est to use rail service.
"At many other points, however
it is said that numbers of rail en-
ployes have been thrown out of
work by a decrease in traffic caused
in part at least, by the fact that the
business houses followed the policy
of shipping by truck instead of rail
There is also raised the serious
question of the ability of the rail-
roads to continue to pay large
sums in taxes that support the
schools and pay other expenses of
the government if the earning ca
pacity of their property is de-
stroyed or lowered by competition
by truck lines.
ut might be we'll for merchants
to realize that the movement of raj
traffic gives work to considerable
numbers of employees who receive
good wages and who spend theil
money in the towns where they live
while the bus and truck lines leave
no money in the communities they
serve other than terminals

ANNIVERSARY

MAYFLOWER COMPACT
November 21

ON Nov. 81, 1920, the Pilgrims
~ held a meeting in the cabin Of
the Mayfower, the ship which
brought them from England to
America, and drew up a compact in
which they announced their inten-
ton of making such laws as should
be needed for the general good Of
the colony.
The compact, which was called
the law and order league" was
signed by forty-one Pilgrims. They
then chose John Carver governor.
When Carver died, William Brad
ford was chosen; he filed the Of
fee for thirty-one years.
What induced the Pilgrims to
draw up compact was the fear Of
dissension among those Pilgrims
who preferred to settle in Virginia,
and those who favored New Eng
land.
The Mayf1ower had gone far out
of her way. and the Pilgrims then
decided, though they had patent
made out for settlement in Virginia,
to settle in Massachusetts,.
After carefully exploring the New
England coast, the Pilgrims found
satisfactory harbor and landed at
Plymouth, Mas. on Dec. q, 1920.

It's Found Again

0NE more of those fifty-five
" original copies of the Declare
ton of Independence has made its
appearance, this time in California.
The lady who brought it to high
school principal says that she would
not have guessed its identity or
realized its value but for the sig
nature of Button Gwinnett, which
she noticed one day after reading
that it had brought $4,000.
What a godsend this Button
Gwinnett has been, not only to
those who deal in antiques and
curios, but to people who otherwise
would live in ignorance regarding
the value of an original copy Of the
Declaration of Independence.
How fortunate we are that Button
Gwinnett possessed name which
was of such small consequence as to
be worth signing on only few
occasions.

TINE second main type Of food
Il constituent is the carbohydrate,
or sugar. It has been estimated, as
cited by DR.. W. M. Marriott, that
the minimum amount of carbohy-
drate on which a young infant will
live for any length of time is about
one-tWentieth of an ounce for each
pound of its weight.
The best amount Of carbohydrate
is about from one-tenth to one-ffth
of an ounce for each pound of the
child's weight, Or approximately
one-hundredth of its total weight
A child that is fed on its mothers
milk needs about ona-f1fth of an
ounce for each pound of its weight
each day.
If a grown person is given too
much carbohydrate, he promptly
develops the appearance Of sugar
in his excretions.
Because the needs of the child
are so much greater, it can be fed
proportionately a larger amount Of
carbohydrate than can an adult.
Sugars are not all the same as

ESkin1oeS Happy

TINE full-blooded Indians OF
Il Alaska are rapidly vanishing,
DR.. Hrdlicka says. The Eskimo, on
the other hand, much more num-
erous and prolific, are keeping their
own. perhaps even increasing.
"They are excellent people, good
workers, and the happiest lot in the
world" he says. They are very
sensible and helpful to the scien-
lists
But they are plagued with
tuberculosis, which affects more
than third of their number.
They need and deserve a substantial
help in this direction"
Dr. Hrdlicka says that both the
American Indian and the Eskimo
came from Asia.
Just as the white man entered
America by crossing the Atlantic in
sailing vessels in the years follow
ing 1892 and then gradually prog
ressed across the country in the fol-
lowing centuries, so he believes the
Indian and the Eskimo entered
America by crossing the Bering
Straits, Boring Sea and Bristol Bay
by canoe some thousands of years
ago.
He believes that the Indians ell
tered by successive waves Of immi-
grafton, starting after the last gla-
cial age.
1.-THE farthest northwest of the
American continent is Alaska" he
says. Here America approaches
closest to the old world.
LESS than fifty miles separate the
two continents at their nearest
points and even this distance is cut
in two by the Diomede islands.
1T is here that the passing Of
man from the old to the new world
was not only possible but newt
able.
According to the best scientific
evidence. it was through this portal
chat America was peopled after the
decline of the ice age"

said, that the American Indian did

Asia.

institution to save for science a
large amount of slleletal remains
which otherwise soon would have
gone to destruction.
"They have resulted in a far more

Indian and Eskimo than was had
before.
While on the archaeological side
there were located many old sites
