OFFICIAL HOUSE CLEANING

Spring house cleaning is bad enough
in America, but in some, ways worse
in Japan. There is really less to, do
over there, because there is less furni-
ture and other junk in the house, but
the job has to be done with appalling
thoroughness.
There are two official cleanings
year in Japan-the Lesser and the
Greater.
The Great Cleaning is now under
way. Public notice is sent to every
home that it must be thoroughly
cleaned and put in order by certain
date. Absolutely everything remova-
BILE is taken out of the house. The
interior is cleaned relentlessly and so
is every item it contains. The yard
is a scene of devastation for day or
two. When everything is replaced, a
public official appears to inspect the
place and if he is satisfied, gives the
housewife a certificate of cleanliness.
That would never do with us. I'M
agine any mere man trying to boss an
American woman's housekeeping! All
that men can do about this terrible
ceremony in America is to keep as far
away from it as possible.

Echoes OF An Oakland Pulpit
Comrades and Foe.


Friendship is one of life's greatest
treasures, source of life's sweetest
raptures. Yet we must never sacri-
flee the truth to gain friend; if we
do we shall ultimately lose both.
1t is one of the most distressingly
painful experiences of life, to have to
choose between loyalty to principle
and the applause of our human COM
panions. But we all have to make
that choice.
Many persons in high positions of
authority are being compelled to make
that choice today. For a great clamor
has arisen to force Congress to pay a
huge cash bonus of two billion dollars.
The American Legion has already
gone on record against this cash bo-
nus; but we are told that there is a
monster petition signed by two mil
lion individual veterans demanding
that Congress act Immediately.
The leaders of this agitation realize
that the payment of such stupendous
sum at this time would force America

WHY WASHINGTON is
GREAT :.

The lives of great men all remind
us, if we but stop to think about it,
that the innermost core of greatness
is an unquenchable, constant respect
of man for men. From that attitude
are derived those qualities of SINGER
ity, generosity, tolerance and unselfish
loyalty that endear an individual to
his generation and cause posterity to
revere his memory to a degree not
fully explained by gratitude for his
service nor admiration for his achieve
ment. Such man was George Wash
ington.
He has been labeled an aristocrat.
Specifically that classification is cor
rect, for Washington was born to a
position of affluence in the landed gen.
try of his day. Yet nowhere in his
relation with men, even those of hum
BILE stations, did he exhibit cheap os-
tentation of power or privilege.
Rather, his was the poise of a man
who, in respecting the essential per-
sonality of his fellows, tacitly expects
for his own self similar Difference.
His own sacrifice in behalf of
common cause inspired in other men
a loyalty to it and to his leadership.
And when, after he had pursued to
the point of realization the ideal
voiced in the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, he chivalrously sent subor-
dinate to receive the sword of his foe.
He might have been a king, but no.
He spurned the suggestion, panied
that it was offered. He would not
play traitor to trust.
Certainly in George Washington is
exemplifed an unusual pattern of
those traits which make man truly
great. And it is we'll to think on
these things, especially at this mo-
ment when, in celebrating the Wash
ington bicentennial, comes the easy
temptation to idealize the historical
person to the point that his least word
becomes per Sc, sacrosanct and lit
eral guide for situations which in none
but superficial aspects compare with
those Washington faced.
Times change, but sincerity, gener-
osity, tolerance, and unselfsh devo-
ton to an ideal are tokens of the hu-
man spirit that endure.

VALUE OF HOME HYGIENE
CLASSES TOLD BY CLARKE

believe that one of the most impor-
tant results to come from this train
ing or education will be demonstrated
in years to come in the lowering of
our infant mortality and maternal
mortality. The infant mortality rate
m Maryland for 1881 was 1914 per one
thousand live births. It behooves
every health officer to use every means
possible to decrease that rate. In my
LECTURES to these classes I have
stressed this point and have tried to
show the class how they. as individuals
can aid in their community in decreas-
ing this rate by the practical applica-
ton of the lessons they have had.
have already seen the practical appli-
cation of the Hygiene classes in
several of the communities. One case
in particular, an old man had cere-
bral hemorrhage. The. family with
which he lived was entirely ignorant
OF the first principles of his care. A
neighbor, however, who was student
in one Of our classes made it a point
to: help make the old man comfortable
and did an excellent job of it.. In, an
other community we were having a
mild scarlet fever epidemic. Many
of the townspeople kept their chill
dren home and used means to get the
school closed. After meeting with the
Home Hygiene group and talking the
situation over with them the children
returned to school for their daily ex-
animation and we heard no more talk
of closing the school. In many of the
schools over the county we are giving
free lunches to undernourished chill
dren. The women of our hygiene
classes have aided in this work from
the very beginning.
Among the things that hope these
Home Hygiene classes will aid in ac-
complishing are: decline in tuber-
culosis, reduction of infant and mater
nal mortality, reduction of typhoid,
diphtheria, and smallpox, and even a
reduction in on-communicable dis
eases. Along with these hope it will
aid in building greater physical eff
cheney into our babies, pre-school and
school children so that in the end a
greater physical fitness will come to
our citizenship generally. AS Presi-
dent Hoover said, eff we can build but
one generation of highly efficient men
and women physically, morally and
mentally, a thousand problems of gov
eminent will vanish"

FARMER TRANSPORT

Perhaps the most pronounced prog
ress of our time has been made in
the direction of improved transporta-
ton. Good roads and better and
cheaper cars to use them, have caused
miraculous changes in the business
and social lives of the American peo-
pie.
Of all classes of citizens, the farmer
has been the least benefited in this.
Most farmers have cars and trucks.
But few farmers have access to roads
that are disable at all times of the
year, or that permit the greatest pos
sible efficiency in transport at any sea-
son. The rough road, the road that
becomes one long series Of mud-holes
in winter, the road that goes to pieces
under snow or a good, hard rain
these are still characteristic, speaking
generally, of rural America.
A few states-New York, Califor-
MIA and others-have done fine work
in building good farm-to-market
roads. They have realized that the
best main highway in the world is of
no use to the farmer if his home is
five or ten miles away on an impassa-
BILE dirt road. They have, consequently,
done much in recent years to provide
secondary roads, suitable for all types
of travel, and passable at all times,
which connect the small village and
the farm with the outside world.
These roads cost little, in compar-
ison to the cost Of high-type high
ways. Five thousand dollars a mile
or less will provide asphaltic type sur
faces which will withstand all but
the heaviest traffic. A few hundred
dollars a year will ordinarily keep
them in first-class condition. The ben
efits they bring farmers and small
town business men are inestimably
greater than their cost. No state can
afford to let it's farmers languish in
the mud nowadays-every state can,
by careful road planning, build good
secondary arteries without initiating
the tax bill.

GRAFT IN BUSINESS AS
WELL AS POLITICS

Before American Business too Bit
terly criticizes politics for graft rings,
it should sweep its own doorstep, sug-
gests John T. Flynn in the April Ro-
tartan magazine.
eve bride buyers to take our
goods" he writes, "and we bride SUI
perintendents to condemn our Compel
itor's products. We bride other mems
clerks to push our merchandise. We
bride sea captains to put their ships
in our dry-docks. We bride singers
to endorse our cigarettes.
eve bride athletes to ballyhoo our
golf balls, our tennis rackets, our
baseball bats. We bride actresses to
endorse our cosmetics. We bride doc
tors to sign their names on our drugs.
We bride chauffeurs who buy gasoline
and oil and uniforms. We bride SER
wants who buy groceries and meats.
"And then some of US hold up our
hands in horror at the corruption in
politics when we hear some speakeasy
owner has handed a few dollars to a
prohibition agent or cop!"
Mr.. Flynn cites case of Tennes-
see textile mill in which one employee
was paid $16,75O from concerns sup
plying materials. Not only did his
employers pay that amount but, it is
estimated, they lost an additional
$4,000 due to the inferior materials
which the bribed employee had passed.
Other cases are reported by the Silk
Travellers Association and the Silk
Club, wherein buyers, getting salary
of $40 and $50 a week, forced sales
men to pay tribute on every yard Of
goods accepted. They thus often are
able to bring their salaries up to ten
thousand dollars and more a year.
"The greatest curse of this thing"
adds Mr.. Flynn, "is that when one
CRATER appears in a trade he very
soon makes it almost impossible for
the honest man to stay in business"
And, as usual, the public foots the
bill. For every 500 in business graft,
Mr.. Flynn estimates, there is sure to
be at least $1,000 in loss somewhere

The weather man has surely been
against the merchant this winter. In
the first place, when the weather
should have been cold, it was warm,
so that the merchant had difficulty in
disposing of winter goods. And then
when the Easter season came around
and spring goods should have begun
to move, the weather man gave us
the winter we ought to have had: back
in December and January. By the
way, isn't Mr.. Hoover to blame for

Business can help stamp out the
bribery parasite by lobbying for state
and federal laws similar to the one on
New York's statute books, and then
by furnishing facts to prosecuting au-
thorities. Service clubs and associa-

have led in curbing the unfair prac-
tees and in focusing public attention
on them.

This lady expresses herself as favor

Office in Loeb Lynn Heights

This lady expresses herself as favor
ing the establishment of Post
Office in Loeb Lynn Heights
To The Editor of The Republican:
The Mayor and Town Council of
Loeb Lynn in presenting the petition,
signed by large majority, asking for
the establishment of Post Office here
has caused quite an uprising among
those opposed to the plan.
Why all the fuss? Why the attack
from our friends across the railroad?
Isn't it our privilege as citizens of
this great commonwealth to ask for
the things we feel are coming to US?
Should the decision of the Mayor and
council be controlled by the opinions
of half a dozen citizens? Under oath
these men agreed to perform the du-
ties of their respective offices without
fear, favor, partially, or prejudice.
Could they throw this petition out
without violating their oath?
This has been an Incorporated town
for approximately thirty-six years,
yet Loeb Lynn is generally known as
Mt. Lake Park, but it is separate
corporation. If piece of mail hap
pens to be addressed to Loeb Lynn
Heights it usually strays around for
weeks before finally reaching its des-
tination. We also consider it haz-
ardous to cross the railroad to the
present postoffice.
Ours is now a progressive town.
Five years ago the main thorough
fares of the town were well nigh i'm
passable, during the winter and
spring months. Now we have sew
eral permanent roads, cement walks
and many of the conveniences of large
cities, namely: twenty-four hour cleo
trio service, water and sewerage sys-
TENS, train and taxi services, besides
a steam heated brick school building,
churches, stores, Grange Milling and
Supply company, and the largest in
dustry in the county, the Mt. Airy
Canning company. A post Office or
a delivery is coming to US and in spite
of opposition the majority of our
people say "make every effort to have
the name Loeb Lynn Heights placed
in the postal guide" and we feel salts
fed that the Mayor and Council will
make every effort to accomplish this.
The sentiment of a few of our citi-
zens is that we are trying to lower
the class-rating of the Mt. Lake Park
post office, but the opinion of the ma
jority here is 1--WE are now asking for
what we should have had many years
ago..
If our post office fails to material
ize we will continue to support the
present post Office as we have been
doing for the past thirty-six years,
without complaint. Personally, l
feel that we have always co-operated
with our sister town and supported
it's efforts to the best of our ability
and yet when we request something
considered necessary to the progress
of our home town, several of our citi-
zens always say, "They have no right
to do that, it might hurt u.s."

Similar Increases Asked

SImIldF 1uCEc6SCS lASACU
Similar increases, Hendricks said,
are demanded by the railroads be-
tween all points in North Dakota and
other states, including increases in
less than-carload rates on such COM
modities as agricultural implements,
machinery. furniture, salt, contractors
equipment. canned goods, iron and
steel articles, automobiles and trucks,
batteries, clay products, paper, as
phalt, hides and building materials.
In other proceedings, the railroads
seek increases in the rates on grain,
grain products, and seeds, livestock,
dairy products and other commodi-
ties.
The railroad commission has filed
formal protests for the dismissal OF
the railroads petition, and now is en-
gagged In preparing exhibits to be SUBJ
mitted at the hearings.
"These cases are of such Importance
and so much money is at stake that
the future welfare Of our state is in
jeopardy" Hendricks said. I'VE do
not object to the railroads having
fair rates, but we do object to un-
warranted increases by restoration Of
rates which discriminate against
North Dakota and unduly prefer the
Twin Cities, Duluth and other cities
outside Of our state"
