Warning to Motorists

Faced with shortage Of feed,
many farmers have adopted the habit
OF turning their cattle loose to Craze
along the roadsides where the pas
ture has not been cropped short and
where past accumulations OF water
in bitches have promoted the growth
Of grass.
For this they can hardly be blamed,
for In some cases it Is either permit
cattle to forage for themselves or
watch them starye by inches, the feed
situation being bad in almost all
parts Of the state.
Nevertheless, the situation creates
a traffic hazard which may have dis
astrous results, both for the cattle
involved and for motorists. For a
fast-moving motor car to strike q
cow in the road is apt to have re-
suits as fatal for the motorist as for
the COW.
Since the practice has obviously
been begun because of necessity,
there seems small chance Of it being
stopped until pastures improve. The
obvious answer on the part Of the
automobile driver is to reduce his
speed and get his car under control
whenever he sees cattle grazing by
the side Of the road.

Grain Dealing Next

Now that congress has devised reg
ulation for the stock exchange. it
might properly look into the matter
Of the grain exchanges and see If a
good field for its efforts is not open
there.
It has been pointed out that our
system Of dealing in agricultural
commodity futures is so warped and
generally illogical that the drouth,
which threatens to cause loss of at
least $2oo,oooo0 to the wheat grow
ers Of the United States, may at the
same time enrich the Spectators by
three times that much.
One does not need to mediate over
this very long to get the idea that
something Is out Of balance with q
system that works like that.
Just what the remedy may be is
not quite clear; but that congress
might well look into the matter is
pretty obvious.

The Electoral College
fra.Y..AH~ YY~--1lN

Unless Senator Norris can win over
few more votes the country will
continue to elect its president in the
same old way-through the electoral
college.
Yesterday the senate refused to ap-
prove the Norris constitutional amend
ment to provide for the direct cleo
ton Of the president and vice presi-
dent.
Politics as well as the merits Of the
proposal naturally entered the pic
ture. Many Of the Republicans, be-
lieving that the amendment would
operate In favor Of the Democrats,
voted against it, and until another
session at least 1t is probably dead.
Nevertheless, an amendment along
this line IS certain within the next
few years. because 1t tends to make
the election Of presidents more repre-
sentative Of the popular will Twice
presidents have been elected whose
opponents received . larger popular
vote. In 1876 Tilden received about
100000 more votes than did Hayes,
who received the electoral college ma
jortty, and In 1883 Cleveland received
about q hundred thousand more
votes than did Harrison, although the
latter had 233 electoral votes and
Cleveland only 168.
The arguments In favor Of the elec-
toral college can't outweigh in Tho
popular mind such examples as these
and regardless Of political considers
lions Z change to prevent their repe.
tition Is inevitable.

NO MEDICINE CHEST IS COM

A glass -stoppered or rubber or COM
position corked bottle Of tincture of
iodin IS one of the indispensable items
in any medicine or emergency chest.
An ounce is enough.
The universal indication for this Is
as first aid disinfectant for all
wounds, cuts, scratches, abrasions,
blisters, bites, stings. The pure tine
ture of iodin should be poured over or
swabbed upon the raw or open surface
just once. This bites and smarts Sc
verely for an instant, but the pain Is
quickly over and the iodin actually
seems to have soothing after-effect.

to tender canker sore-for which 1t
is good treatment, each sore being

Eodes. one painting Of the dry skin
with tincture Of iodin IS useful. The
application of iodin to the skin should
not be repeated within a week, as q
rule, for II too frequently applied it

Recently many correspondents from

Few Flaming Youths

-" - 1G6ASSAAh6 AV0S1s0
II you read the magazines, 60 to
the movies or listen to lectures, you
probably know Ill about modern
youth.
Modern youth, as all these agencies
have assured u over and over, Is
irreverent, flighty, disobedient, and
generally bound for perditton. Home
Is just q place to sleep and parents
are just people who provide food and
clothing and pocket money for rest
less youngsters.
That's the picture. anyway. But
some persons in the research bureau
Of the New York Welfare Council got
to wondering about It recently, and
set to work to find out II the picture
is true one.
SO they sent questionnaires to some
1900 Brooklyn school girls. They
asked them, among other things, II
they always asked their parents con-
sent when they planned to go out
anywhere In the evening-and all but
% OF the 1900 replied, very emphati-
cally, that they always did!
There were other questions, too;
and tabulation Of the answers shows
that the average Brooklyn school girl
goes to bed at 10, or earlier, each
night; puts in good deal Of time
studying her lessons at home: goes
to church or Sunday school regular
ly, and prefers to spend her leisure
time at home rather than out with
friends.
And all this sounds like . pretty
good refutation Of the common talk
about flaming youth" This cross
section OF Brooklyn girlhood shows
US . youth that is what we like to
think Of as normal-youth that be-
HAYES itself properly and stays at
home, and works hard on the tasks
given 1t, and lives very much as Its
parents lived when they were young.
It is very probable that . lot Of
our talk about the wildness Of youth
comes from subconscious sense Of
guilt. During the last Is years we
have given youth . pretty cock-eyed
world to look forward to, what with
wars, depressions. and so on.
We have expected youth to kick
over the traces because deep in our
hearts we know that the state OF the
adult world has been an indictment
OF our own shortcomings, and our
talk about youths failings has re-
Elected on US more than on our chill
dren.
It Is interesting to see how this ac-
tual survey Of modern youth fails to
justify our calamity -howling.
