Can't Be That Tired

IF I understand the philosophy of
l. the preacher, think he is argu-
ing that labor may tire a man so
deeply that he will take no interest
in any of the vices. The truth, &C
cording to my observations, lies quite
in the opposite direction. have
known men so worn with work that
they gave little heed whether blind
beggars stumbled or came safely
through the traffic.
Few Of Us commit any Boy Scout
deed when the flesh is weak, for the
spirit is inclined to droop with it
in sympathy.
Conversely, those most persistent
in crying, Lets have one more
round of jackpots," are the very
ones who hardly can keep their eyes
open. And at times 1 have known
even the most weary soul to bright
en- and gain second wind at the
suggestion: Let's all go over to the

for fight or frolic. Virtue resides
chiefly with those who are bound
ing with vitality 1t is not the idle
hands but the tormented ones which
make the easiest prey for Satan.
That is no more than reasonable.
If man is comfortably located
in an easy chair, with an iced drink
at his elbow, the devil has very lit
tie to offer which will suffice to
make him stir. Under such circum-
stances it is not difficult to say Get
thee behind me, Satan, and while
you're up I'd like another rickey."

A Woman's Viewpoint

whom we call incorrigible is the
victim of adult stupidity, Of brutal
mismanagement, or misunderstand-
ing.
Yet in nearly every state right
now there is a constant effort to
save money by depriving the chill
dren Of adequate care. training, edu-
cation, and love. And at the very
same time the cry goes up that We
must have more funds to apprehend
and punish criminals.
If there had been maintained
during past years several institu-
lions in New Mexico like the girls
welfare home and similar places for
neglected boys, there probably would
have been no need for such fine
penitentiaries.
And that goes for every state in
the Union. Each dollar we keep
from the children We spend even
tually for the upkeep Of criminals.

DOTTED STATE LINES

THERE probably is no issue in American
politics more confusing than that of
states rights
A sample of the confusion is to be had in
the activities of the American Bar Association
meeting at Grand Rapids Mich.
Assistant United States Attorney-General
Pat Malloy told the assembled lawyers that
police powers must be centralized in the
federal government if the war on rackets is
to succeed.
He urged that county prosecutors sheriffs
and state police be sworn in as federal depu-
ties. so that the war on crime could be pushed
forward in unified manner.
And the same convention which applauded
this speech approved an executive committee
report opposing the federal child labor
amendment, on the ground that the problem
should be left to the states
A truly consistent attitude on states
rights is pretty rare.

cent of the total, or IS per cent of
all of those over 40 years old, the
cause of death was due to disease
of the coronary arteries, the blood
vessels which supply blood to the
heart.
These blood vessels are, Of
course, affected by various condi-
tons which affect blood vessels
generally, such as hardening Of the
arteries, Inflammation because Of
syphilis, sometimes by blocking
due to small clots which get into
them from the blood itself.
Indeed, blocking by a clot, So
called coronary thrombosis, is COM
ing to be the most common cause
of sudden death, especially inter-
esting examples in recent years
being the death Of President Cool
idge and Senator Walsh.

GOOD, BUT NOT ENOUGH

THE president Of an Ohio board of educa-
ton recently drew up list of rules for
being a good teacher. Among his require
ments were the following
Read detective stories, own movie cameras
and radios, read twelve good books a year,
keep a close mouth attend community dances,
and use the rod on juvenile offenders in front
of other pupils-but do not use it often.
Now without trying to be snooty, one very
easily could say that one of the things wrong
with our public school system is the existence
of board of education presidents with ideas
like those.
The various planks in that platform are
all good enough, to be sure-but is it not
trif1e surprising to have in charge of school
system a man who thinks those are the chief
requirements for a good teacher?

VAN zANDT SLATED
TO HEAD Y. F. v.
Ghost of B. E. F. Eviction
Bobs Up in Talk of D. C.
Convention.

MILWAUKEE,, August % (SpeciaD -
With practically no opposition men,
toned to run against James Van Zandt
of the District of Columbia for national
commander in chief of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars, he will almost certainly
be elected to succeed Admiral Robert E.
Coontz at the thirty-fourth annual ma
tional encampment now In session here.
Coontz also makes his home in WASH
ington. His election will mark the first
time that two Navy veterans in sue
cessions and two residents of the same
city have held this high office. Van
Zandt is a wartime chief petty officer
and still retains that station in the
Naval Reserve.
The District delegation is working
hand in glove with a committee from
the Washington Board of Trade,
headed by Augustus Gumpert, to bring
the 1884 convention to Washington.
The ghost of the eviction of the bonus
army is proving quite hurdle for the
District group to overcome. Washing
ton and the battle of PENNSYLVANIA
avenue" are linked in the minds of uni
formed veterans from the distant
States, while New Orleans and other
cities are making excellent bids for the
next encampment.
The District delegation points out
that had the Bonus Expedition Forces
been an organized and orderly Veterans
of Foreign Wars convention there
would have been no difficulty and that
certainly none would be experienced if
the 1884 convention came to the
Capital
The District delegation is also urging
the permanent establishment of Veter-
ans Of Foreign Wars national headquar-
ters in Washington, instead of Kansas
City, Mo, where it is now located. ad
vancing the argument that national
should be in the National
Capital and that the existence there of
national legislative Offices at all times
merely proves this point.
For the same reason the District dele
cation is urging the Foreign Service.

of Foreign Wars, be published in Wash

vital to veteran interests.
