4 RiIIion a Year?

One of the most important bills considered by con-
ess during the present session passed the house last
week almost without public notice This is the bill to
extend additional relief to veterans of the World war
and their dependents.
As originally reported the measure would have
tended the presumpye cause of the World war veter
ans act for all disabilities to Jan l. 1925 Any disability
incurred by veteran prior to that date would be pre-
suired to have been received during the and the
veteran would be entitled to compensation ard hos
pitalzaton.
On the floor Of the house however the date was
extended from 1925 to 1880 and number of other i'm
uortant amendments were made. One of these would
deny the veterans bureau the right to offer evidence
TO disprove the claims of veteran. Another would
eliminate the clause in the law dealing with social
diseases. and another would prohibit the veterans
bureau from removing from its compensation rolls any
veteran who has had Service connected disability
for five years. even though the might be re-
covered fully
In offering a motion to recommt the bill to the
committee for redrafting Representative Royal john
son of South Dakota author Of the original measure,
said: This bill as it is amended provides straight
pension of as much in cases, as s265 month Tor
men who did not enlist until three years after the
war and received their disability in 1929"
Chairman Wood of the appropriations committee
predicted that if the bill finally is enacted we shall
within two years be expending at the rate OF
81 si0OoooOOOO a year through the veterans bureau"
The American people want to see that men disabled
in service during the and their dependents. the
widows and orphans are provided for adequately
The bill now is before the senate where it should be
thoroughly studied and so amended as to provide
necessary relief without overburdening the treasury
OF arousing public resentment, If this is not done the
measure is likely to be vetoed by the President and
many veterans will be denied the aid they desperately
need.

Partisan Judges

If the crime commission named by
Governor Leslie succeeds only in obtaining
nonpartsan and separate election OF judges
it will have justified its existence.
The present campaign in this county
should convince every good citizen that much
If the criticism of courts and their opera
ton comes from the system under which
Judges are chosen.
The active campaigning OF judges for
sorninations. the indulgence in actions which
mould bring contempt and not votes, the
lecessity, apparently. of becoming back
slapping ward heelers and good fellows
18th ward leaders, adds nothing to the con-
lence of citizens that such campaigners will
I've justice if elected
The effort of political parties to elect
neir candidates without reference to char
acter or fitness suggests that the judges
are valuable to political organizations. They
can be valuable in but one way. That is by
twisting the law.
The intrusion of partisan influences into
the criminal courts is especially vicious. This
is one spot where party obligations should
end. There is a sadly decreasing respect for
law and an increasing loss of fear of law.
The impression that courts are political ma,
have something to with this.
Partisan justice means no justice. Par
tisan Judges mean biased judges. Partisan
courts dispense anarchy not law
Every member of the legislature, without
regard to party, should be pledged to make
this change in the judicial system.

Safety Moves Needed

DEATHS by accident in the
~ United States reached the
staggering total of $1,000 last year
Those attributable to the automobile
increased by 5000 over the preceding
year, while those attributable to all
other causes decreased by 1000.
1t is appalling to learn that 81 900
persons died within twelve months
because of the automobile, but it is
even more appalling to learn that
$4,000 died in their home-9,000 by
falling.
We seem to have been far more
successful in combating disease than
in preventing those injuries and
fatalities which go with ordinary,
everyday life. One reason Is that we
pay more attention to 1t.
If a man has smallpox, we
quarantine him and his whole
family; if an epidemic is threatened,
we grant the board of health die
tatorial powers, just to cite two out
standing examples of the way we
preserve health.
When We do as much. or even
half as much, to promote safety, We
will get somewhere.

Kissing

.DR. HEGNER states that about SO
~ per cent of the population car
ries about a tiny dmeba, known as
Fndamoeba Gingivalis. 1t lives in
the so-called gingevial spaces at the
base of the teeth.
At one time, some authorities
thought that this ameba was the
cause of pyorrhea. DR.. Hegner
states, however, that more recent
studies indicate that this ameba Is
harmless.
He also states the opinion that
this ameba is undoubtedly trans
mitted during kissing. so that every
person is likely to become infected
with it at some time.
Another type of protozoa, called
Trichomonas Bucacalis,, occurs in
from 10 to 80 per cent of the pop
ulation. 1t is one of the type known
as fagellate because it has a whip
like tail. 1t swims by whipping
this tail back and forth.
DR.. Hegner lists two types Of
protozoa which occur in the small
intestine. These are rare, however.
There is one type Of ameba which
inhabits the large intestine in about
so per cent Of the population. Other
types inhabiting the large intestine
are present in small percentage.

MONROE'S BIRTH

April 2S-
NN April %, 1853. James Mon
W roe, fifth President OF the
United States, was born in West
moreland county, Virginia.
He was sent to William and
Mary college, but left it at the
outbreak of the Revolutionary
war to join Virginia troops in
New York. Sent back to Virginia
to raise a new regiment. Monroe
made the acquaintance, of Thomas
Jefferson, then Governor Of Vir-
ginia.
This contact had a decisive IN
fluence on Monroe's career, for,
at the age Of 25 he entered con-
gress ss delegate from his ma
tive state.
After serving three successive
terms, he was sent to France as
minister. He was recalled utter
two years for making an address
which accentuated the strained re-
ations between France and the
United States.
In 1916, after he had served as
Governor OF Virginia, Monroe was
elected President of the United
States by the Republicans, now
the Democratic. party.
His most noteworthy acts includ-
ed the recognition of the inde-
pendence of Mexico and Of the
South American republics and the
PRONUNCIATION of what was called
the Monroe Doctrine"
The period of his administration
is known as the EZRA OF good feel
ing because of the general pros
perity and absence of party strife.

GONE time ago, Attorney George
~ S. Wright of Council Bluffs, Ia,
prosperous, 81, and unwed, said that
women are like whisky"
Since then he has received ITS
offers of marriage, with photo
graphs, biographical sketches, and
other descriptive material to back
them up.
What puzzles this writer, and pos
sibly Mr.. Wright, is whether the 173
applicants for his hand wanted to
prove that they are, or are not, like
whisky.
BY and large, the world selects
its heroes from among those who
die, or risk death, in battle, but, as
Milton says. those also serve who
only stand and wait"
This is especially true, if they
stand at the end of a hoe handle,
and wait for the "oats, peas, beans
and barley" to grow, as the French
government admits in granting the
red ribbon of the Legion of Honor
to Joseph zaleski. a 103-year-old
farmer of Migneville.
This venerable peasant not only
has titled the soil for more than
four-fifths of a century, but still
works at it.
The French government is right
in rating his work and example as
equal to those Of the bravest soldier.
AS Sam Houston said, "civiliza-
ton began with the plow," and it
will end with the plow."

Rules for Marriage
THE Rev. Mr.. w. Russell Bowie

THE Rev. Mr.. w. Russell Bowie,
= rector of Grace church, has
drawn up a set Of rules for those
contemplating marriage. Unless they
accept his code, he won't perform
the ceremony.
I suppose a minister has right
to be as persnickety as he pleases.
After all, there are plenty of civil
agents qualified to tie as binding a
knot as was ever sealed in any
rectory.
Yet, even so, think it is not
amiSs to call the rector's attention
to fundamental fallacies in hs phi
losophy. Among other things, the
bride and bridegroom must pledge
themselves to join some Christian
church"
DR.. Bowie ought to know better
than that. This is, I think, small
evidence that church mutual mem
bership is necessarily an important
factor in any marriage.
have often teIt that mixed mar
riages have a better chance of sue
cess than the average union. 1t is
important in marriage that each
member should have some impor-
rant interest which is his very own.
Certainly if my wife were a Meth
odist, I never would talk to her
about it. Early on Sunday morning
she would start out for her church
and would start for mine. Or. If
I didn't happen to have one, might
/ lie in bed and read the papers.
1t takes a lot Of concentration to
get through a Sunday paper and a
really sincere student of the news
should be alone at such times. You
don't want to be interrupted by
somebody saying, Did you see what
this critic wrote about Green Pas
tures?' I think he's an even bigger
fool than the other critics"

They Like to Pay Cash

TINE people of Bloomfield, Neb.,
i have adopted the cash sys-
tenn. Not only that, but they like
it, which is interesting, if not i'm
portant.
First, it proves the thing can be
done. Second, it proves that the
thing can be done without destroy
ing local trade.
When the merchants of Bloom
field decided to demand cash and
let the credit go in 1923, they
naturally were worried as to the re-
suit.
Like most other merchants, they
feared their customers would go
elsewhere for the sake of credit, but
the hard time they we're having
with collections left them little
choice in the matter.

fauna and flora involved arc both
microscopic and harmless.
Most people are acquainted With
the fact that every human being
carries a great many millions of
bacteria around with him at all
times. Since bacteria are claSsed
usually as plants. these constitute
the botanical garden referred to.
An experiment which never fails
to interest the college freshman N
the biology laboratory is to scrape
a bit of film from one Of his
teeth, fix it on a glass side, stain
it and examine it under a micro
scope.
Countless bacteria are revealed.
There are many varieties of bac-
terra to be found also on the human
skin and in the intestinal tract.
These bacteria are harmless, as
already stated They are known
technically as nonpathogenic, to
distinguish them from the disease
producing or pathogenic bacteria
The zoo which each person car
ries around with him is not so well

by observation and research within

Ameba
.TOLLEGE freshmen usually make
~ the acquaintance of two types
of protozoa in the biology labora-
tory. One is a type Of ameba. which
inhabitS fresh water ponds and
creeks. The other is a type of para
mecium found in the same localities.
Both are among the larger pro-
tozoa, being just visible to the un-
aided eye as tiny specks. The
great majority of protozoa are not
so large, many being visible only
in very powerful microscopes.
The ameba, under the microscope.
appears like a tiny drop of Jelly with
a granular structure. It possesses a
darker spot within it, the nucleus.
The ameba moves by changing its
shape, pushing out its substance
into the finger-like processes known
as pseudopodia (the word comes
from two Greek words and means
false feet.D.
The parameciun Is shaped some-
what like a tiny slipper 1t is COW
cred with tiny hair-like processes
called ella. 1t swims by a constant
vibration of these ella.
Students sometimes make the
mistake of supposing that protozoa
occur only in streams and lakes and
oceans.
Damp soil contains many varieties
of protozoa and a still greater
variety are parasitic in both plants
and animals.
According to Professor Robert
Hegner of the Johns Hopkins uni
versity, there are sixteen varieties
of harmless protozoa which are
parasitic in human beings. t-
In addition there arc nine patho-
genie or disease producing varieties.
These pathogenic varieties however.
are confined almost entirely to the
tropics and certain parts of Asia.

Sea Pigeon Is Hauled to Warehouse and Its Dam-

After the accident yesterday t- the Pioneer Airways seaplane Sea Pigeon, which as the result of a broken strut between the pontoons turned turtle in alighting on Gas tineau Channel, the aircraft was lowed to the wharf of the Alaska Juneau Mining Company and then lifted by a crane upon the pier Today Pilot Jerry Smith and Me chanic Thomas Johnson dismantled the plane and hauled it's parts to the Cash Cole warehouse on Will loughby Avenue. The extent of damage will be ascertained, and if practicable, the aircraft will be put together again.
 To the skill and composure of Pilot Smith is credited the fact that he and the three passengers aboard the plane at the time of the mishap escaped without in- jury. Indeed, scarcely getting wet, they stepped from the plane to a boat for whose assistance Pilot Smith had signalled from the air.
