(R.-George Kruskie, 2l-year Cross
Village fisherman, carried away yester-
day on an ice foe that broke away
without warning, was believed today to
have drifted to safety on Crane Island,
10 miles out in Lake Michigan.
Signal fires were reported from the
island last night. Today a Sw1rling
snowstorm and heavy seas prevented
further effort at communication with
the island.
Coast Guards who left here yesterday
to search from Kruskie had net re-
turned this morning, but an airplane
which also joined in the search re-
ported having sighted their boat near
Crane Island.

BY SENATE JAMES COUZENS,
Member of the Senate Finance Committee.
In 1924 Congress decided that the
service men who served in 1917 and
1918 had been inadequately paid. They
then said, legislatively, that the men
were entitled to 81 a day extra, making
So a day for the time served. They
said the man who served abroad was
entitled to SIPS a day, extra. 1t was
that we pay them that addi-
tional pay in cash, but Secretary OF
the Treasury Mellon and the then
President Coolidge vigorously opposed
this.
Therefore a substitute was provided
to give the veterans, in lieu of this
cash payment, what amounted to q
paid-up endowment policy due in 1945.
Now, it so happens that If the men
had received this adjusted compensa-
ton when they performed the service
in 1o17 and 1918 and had invested 1t

ceived approximately 95 per cent OF

too much but the facts are that the

MAKE 1881 A SAFETY YEAR

During 1881 determined campaign to out
law the reckless and incompetent motorist from
the public highways will be in many states Au-
thorities are urging legislatures to adopt string
ent licensing laws for drivers
In majority of states, anyone, irrespec-
tive of his competence or physical fitness, can
obtain a driving license. Only thirteen states
and the District of Columbia require examina-
ton of applicants. Those states report favor
able progress in automobile accident prevention
during period when the casualty list, in
licensing states, has steadily risen.
The Saturday Evening Post editorially recon-
mends that automobile liability insurance rates.
instead of being the same for all motorists, as
at present, be raised for drivers with accident
records and lower safe drivers. Casualty in
surance companies are already doing this to
some extent. This has tendency to encourage
carefulness and more equitably distributes the
premium burden. 1t is estimated that ninety per
cent of motorists are careful and responsible
but they pay the bill for damage done by the
ten per cent who are reckless, irresponsible or
incompetent
We have long way to go before we settle
all the factors of the accident problem. Preven-
ton, cure, indemnity for the injured-each re-
quires careful study. The growing public and
official interest in the problem is an encourag-
ing sign-EX.

is THE PUBLIC INTERESTED?

Railroad employees in train service should
realize that railroads are not operated wholly
for their benefit These employees repre-
sent the highest paid class of labor in the United
States.
Their working day is "eight hours or less"
Statistics show they work an average of about
seven hours and then only about 20 days per
month.
Notwithstanding this, they are reported as
planning a demand for a siX-hour day with no
reduction in pay, which is equivalent to a wage
increase of 25 per cent. In addition, they will
seek state legislation to reduce and limit the
number of in freight train The result
would be more jobs at the same pay for less
work at time when it has been necessary to
lay off thousands of railroad workers due to de-
crease in passenger and freight business.
Can the railroads endure wage increase with
out an increase in rates? If they cannot, the
next question is, can producers and shippers en-
dure rate increase,
Too much Shortening" will spoil cake and
spoil country. With competitor countries pre-
pared to flood markets with products pro-
duced at low cost-such as wheat, WOOL meats,
lumber, silver and copper-our efforts should
be for increased production without increasd
cost.
The public will sympathize with any sound
plan which labor may propose to stimulate en-
ployment and maintain living standards but it
would seem that shorter work-days and shorter
trains under present conditions would mean in
creased cost of production for all industries

bleth a dog, which is full of
thankfulness for whatsoever
kindness and tenderness it re-

a cat, in whom there is no RE
MEMBRANCE of past faVors.
And in his heart the cry is al

Therefore, I charge thee, if
thou WouldSt make a man for

generosity and deny him not
thy caresses. Yea, leave him
naught to desire.
But if thou would'st make
him remember thee, let him
serve THEE. For mans love
may live forever upon hope or
vanity-but not for a day upon
gratitude!
Go to. The fool hath said in
her heart, I'll bind my Be

Yea. I will hang garlandS

with weekend ii 1itatioris and

For a woman unto whom
man OWETH anything shall
never collect it, whether it be
money or devotion or gratitude.
And no man loVeth CREDI-

Diet and Health
BY DR.. Logan Clendening

70 normal-minded people the
after effects of a single dose
or morphine are usually un-
pleasant. only to those who
are emotionally unbalanced or
have distinctly irritable nervous
systems does the dose given for
medicinal purposes appeal, to
the extent that they want to
take more after the illness for
which the first dose was given
has worn off.
The Physician
There are probably 100000
doses of morphine given in the
United States a day by physi-
clans. If any large number
of the patients became NOR
phine addicts for this reason
there would be far more of
these unfortunates than there
are. :
The physician who would de-
liberately prey on these people
is not worthy of his calling.
Such people must be very
scarce. A few there are who
sell morphine to addicts, but
they are usually caught. Doc
tors who deliberately and con-
sciously start out to cause some
person to form a habit, in the
hope of personal gain, are prob
ably Pigments of some fiction
writer's imagination.

There are estimated to be at
least hundred thousand drug
addic" in the United States.
Within the last year vigorous
efforts have been made to re-
duce this number to prevent
the sale of opium products for
other than medicinal purposes.
The purely scientific and
medical aspects of the subject
are somewhat different than
the sociological aspects. In the
first place, the medical profess
sion must use morphine, code
inc, and other narcotics in
practice.
Warns of Opposition
Any attempt to limit their
power in this respect by legisla-
ton will meet an opposition en-
tirely different in kind from
the opposition they exhibited to
the restriction of their priv
ileges in prescribing alcoholic
medicines. In the case of alco-
hol very few of them needed it
in practice: in the case OF
narcotics no one can get along
without them and the amount
given must be left to the
physicians discretion.
So emphatic is this that the
official organ of the organized
medical profession has been
stiffening the backbone of its
members by printing a series
of articles called THE IndiS-
pensable Uses of Narcotics"
Facts and Fancies
The charge is often made
that the medical profession is
responsible for most cases of
drug addiction because the first
dose of the drug most addlcts
took was administered by a
doctor. The actual figures of
the history of 1925 addicts
showed that only % per cent
had a drug given for the first
time by a doctor. The rest
fell under four classes: self
treatment for relief of pain
17 per cent? and self-treat-
ment during emotional distress,
the influence of other addicts
in and out of prison, and in
dulgence for the sake Of curl
oSity, thrill or bravado.

Again, the Broken Date

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am % years old and have
been keeping company with a
girl for over a year and am
now engaged to her. I had a
date with her one evening and
she broke it, because Of a girl
friend of hers. I haven't been
up to see her since. Do you
think 1 am doing right by
staying away from her or should
I go up and tell her how I
feel? I've never broken date
with her and I feel wretchedly
over what she has done. Who
is right, she or I? She says
she loves me, but at times I
doubt it. BLUE BOY"
It depends on the circum-
stances of your friends break
ing the date with you. If
there was some very special
reason for doing so, I think
you should have been generous
enough to overlook the matter,
especially if it was the first
time. Of course, if the date
was broken without any proper
explanation or apology being
made, I think you were right
to protest. But anyway, be-
lieve I would see the girl again
and, if she cares for you, 1
believe that she will admit her
mistake.
