n EDWOOD FALLS will this week welcome the
X opening of another large new building, the Sec
ond here within a month. Both the New Palace
store, opened September 9, and the New Redwood
theater are big additions to the city both in beauty
and drawing power. They will to widen the
trade of which the city already may be
proud.
The significant thing about the opening of both
buildings is that while they locally owned they
managed by who moved here from other cities
In each case both local man and stranger
opportunity here invested money here and expects to
find success here.
Two such enterprises in what is generally consid-
cred off year give support to belief that Red
wood Falls is due for substantial growth after the
present depression haze has passed. We optim-
istc enough to predict that both will be success
full without running the businesses of other already
here.
A more complete description of the theater ap-
pears elsewhere in this paper but it may be added that
it has peers in this state outside the Twin Cities
and even there they are few-very few.
Redwood Falls welcomes the new citizens who
come here with these enterprises and wishes them
Defends Modern Women
N striking contrast with gloomy and pessmistic
! criticisms of the dyspeptc reformers, who would
4 make believe that modern womanhood is going
the dogs, the statements of Dr. w. S. Mccullough
health officer of the province of Ontario in address
before Canadian Kiwanis club, most refreshing
DR.. Mccullough declared that the low neck, bare
arms, short skirts and bobbed hair all make for
fort and cleanliness and for health and morals. He
contasted modern styles with the denominations of the
past-long, trailing, germgahering skirts; steerib
bed corsets that compressed the body unnaturally
heavy clothing that shut the beneficial ultraviolet
rays the sum- disgusting and nsanitary rats in the
hair; the atrocous hoopskirt and hustle, and other
fashions of former day. ---"- - "-'' 49,
Owing to the more sensible and heathful practices
of the present stated that the baby born today has
average twelve years longer life ahead OF him
than his grandparents had.
Touching upon the effect of modern styles with
respect to morality DR.. Mccullough sad "In my opn
ion the women of today virtuous than at
time in the history of the world"
More Laws, More Contempt
<rT HE growing contempt for law is attributable
in large measure to a mistaken zeal for more
and ever more law" said Governor Richie of
Maryland short time ago.
1t is refreshing to hear this thought echoed by
high public official Too few Of them sufficiently
candid-or courageous-to do So But almost all who
have studied the crime problem have to the same
conclusion. 4 --~Fz.x'FASGe.-
~ We are nation Of law-breakers largely because
we are a nation of Lawmakers. We have abrogated
human liberties-and crime has been increasing on q
greater scale than in any other supposedly civilized
country. We have passed laws which have acted as
boomerangs and have in actual practice benefited the
criminal class which they supposed to suppress
such as the various anti-revoer bills in effect in
eral states.
We cannot shut our eyes to the fact that America
is awless nation In almost every great city auth
ortes are all but powerless against the depredations
of well organized well financed underworld Simpler
and fewer laws justice and less litigation surer
punishment for ofenders-in that direction lies VIC
tory for society its against the criminal class
Overseas Flights
~ many overseas flights have been made both in
arplanes and dirigibles, that for sake of keeping
the record straight in the minds Of the public an
account of some of the first feats of this nature may
be of interest.
In order to grasp the significance of the early
feats this connection, it is to distinguish
between the conditions which attend them The facts
may be briefly stated, follows:
The first aircraft to fly across the Atlantic was
the u S. Navy seaplane NC-4, in May 1919, with Lieu
tenant Commander A. C. Read in command This was
not nonstop fight, however, stops were made IN
Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and the Azore Islands
The first nonstop fight across the Atlantic was
made by Alcock and Brown of the British air force IN
June. 1919, between Newfoundland and Ireland.
The first transatlantic flight by dirigible was
that of the British R34 with 81 men aboard in july
1919 The wear 1919, therefore, was an epoch-makng
one il the history of overseas flying Lindbergh's
