Safe TOYS.

1t is incredible that any adult would
wish to harm child by the gift of a
dangerous plaything. No parent delib-
erately would equip his son with any
instrument which the youngster might
use to hurt himself. On the contrary it
is natural to suppose that fathers and
mothers as class are interested in safe
toys. But it happens. none the less that
thousands of boys and girls each year are
killed or crippled by mechanical devices
presented to them for their amusement.
Lewis H. Carris, managing director of
the National Society for the Prevention
of Blindness. has been making study of
the problem. His findings were an
nounced in an address at the recent
National Safety Congress at Louisville.

A MAJOR PROBLEM
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN D. D. L. D, D. c. L..
BISHOP WASHINGTON.

A major problem in our modern life
concerns the reformation of society
through fresh recognition of the place
the horne occupies as the supreme factor
in all that concerns moral worth and
character building. 1t was the unfail-
ing practice OF the Jewish home to train
its children in the ways of religious OBJ
serVance. II was an imposed discipline
tnat contemplated the moral and spir-
itual development of youth. The jew
transcendent importance. There could
be no wellrounded development of char
acter without it.
II is true Of nations and peoples gen.
orally that moral and religious training
has occupied conspicuous and essen
tial place in the economy of their life.
Educational and cultural values have
their distinct place in the fitting of
youth to the service of life. However
well trained in those things that con-
Germ occupational life, however well
adapted he may be to assume his just
share in the general scheme of things,
lacking in the fine things of character
the youth ultimately discloses weak
neSses that hinder him in the prosecu-
ton of his tasks. The degeneration of
races and peoples is directly traceable
to lowered moral tone Without self
imposed and self-accepted reasonable
disciplines, disciplines that contribute
to the stabilizing Of character. failure is
inevitable
We are faced today with a situation
that is more searching, and at the same
time more threatening, than anything
tnat concerns our economic well being.
We are constantly being reminded by
the judges of our criminal courts that
the percentage of crime among the
youths is steadily and surely mounting.
The most serious offenses, and those that
involve the taking of life, are committed
by boys and young men barely out Of
their teens. Public enemies of the first
class, with hardly an exception, are, in
the main, young men. Increasing edu-
cational and cultural advantages land
we have made progress along these lines)
do not inevitably result in strong and
stabilized lives. One Of the greatest edi-
tors in the country. namely the late
Mr.. Ochs, advised me on one occasion
that nothing was more menacing in our
day and generation than the detection
Of youth as disclosed in the records Of

the result of accidents than from any
disease" A loss of twenty-nine thousand
youthful lives is the average for twelve
month span; seven hundred and twenty
five thousand other young people are
seriously injured in a similar period. Mr..
Carris continued: THE automobile
killed thousands. Thousands Of others
were drowned or killed by falls and other
accidents. But toys also took heavy
toll. =" In 1888, some twelve hundred
children in the United States were killed
by firearms. most. of them in the tiny
hands of other children"
The air rifle, for example, is fear
some weapon in its effect. ASK the
parent whose child has been blinded by
a shot," is Mr Carris' challenge. There
are hundreds of such parents in America
today" Fireworks, too, are responsible
for untold sorrow. In thirty years we
have killed and injured more people by
using fireworks to celebrate our acquisi-
ton of independence than were killed
in the Revolutionary War" But Mr..
Carris warns as well against the perils
of even the commonest household i'm
plements-almost anything, it seems,
may be risk when misuSeo. Every
kitchen cabinet and every tool box" he
insists, lis full of instruments which, in
the hands of little children, are danger
ous None of us would think of giving
q small child a hammer and expensive
watch to play with at the same time.
And yet at this moment there are in
America hundreds of children with eyes
far more delicate and far more valuable
than the finest watch who are playing
not only with hammers, but with scis-
sors. knives and other instruments, one
slight jab of which will destroy or seri-
ously iniure the eye"
Traced down to its basic elementals,
then, the problem is one OF education
as most other great problems are. A
shotgun. probably, is perfectly harmless
when used with proper skill; but. on
the opposite extreme, a buttonhook may
be a fatal implement when carelessly
lloulshed by an infant unaware Of the
mischief it can do. What is wanted,
apparently, is the thought Of caution
in every mind, be it old or young. And
for that vastly desirable psychology long
and hard teaching will be required. 1t
is worthy of notice, however, that every
living soul can participate in such
campaign of instruction.

our criminal courts and in the looSeness
that Is evident in our modern social
practice. Ali kinds of devices and re-
formatories are generously planned to
safeguard the young and to protect them
from evil ways. Probably at no time in
history have we spent more of time,
money and energy in these agencies
than in this modern age, but the prob
lem increases with each recurring day.
The large question that faces us is: Can
morality be maintained without a re-
liglous basis? Will some system of ethics,
such as that Of Marcus AureliuS, serve
the purpose? Will system Of ethical
culture. rigidly applied, affect salutary
results?
The record of history furnishes no
affirmative answer. There can be no
blinking the fact that the chief factor
in the making of the strong elements
of character is the home. Where it is
loosely administered, where parental
direction and control are Haunted or
ignored, where there is no evidence of
deep moral and religious conviction, we
can hardly expect the sensitive and
plastic youth to accept restraints or dis
ciplines that make for the strong things
OF character. Schools may impart knowl-
edge and prepare the student for his
place in the world of action; churches
and Christian agencies may press their
claims and clubs and agencies for recre-
aticnal purposes be built without num-
Der, but none of these can serve as a
substitute fol- the well-regulated, we'll

of religion and morality are exemplifed

Of Jesus in the days of His youth that
HE was subject unto them" and His re-
peated tributes to His mother witnesses
to the profound influence she exercised
upon His formative years. In the humble
home in Nazareth He experienced the
disciplines which Jewish home i'm
poses. and, humble as it was, it became
the training ground for the supreme
ministry of His later years.
The greatest issue before us today is
one that concerns the rehabilitation and
reconstruction of the American home on
strong and stable religious foundations.

Fifty Years Ago
In The Star

Upon his retirement from active duty
in 1884 Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman
rY,- e. left Washington to
1Aoheslch LUZ make his home in St.
Washington. Louis. The following
in The Star of October
%, 1885, indicates that the move was not
altogether satisfactory to the old soldier:
Gen. Sherman has. it is said, written
to a friend that he regrets having re-
moved from Washington to St. Louis and
often wishes himself back at the Capital,
comfortably settled for the remainder of
his days. One reason assigned is that
there is less brilliant and pleasant social
life in ST. Louis than in Washington and
greater scarcity of pretty girls Another
is that he finds there fewer Army COM
panions and congenial friends with Suffi-
cient leisure to chat about the past and
kill time pleasantly. OF all that sort of
thing Gen. Sherman is very fond, and
these features are sadly lacking in
purely commercial and business city. It
may be added also that the old hero
thoroughly enjoys publicity, and as there
are fewer newspaper correspondents in
st. Louis than in Washington to con-
stantly chronicle and keep before the
less feels that something has been taken
from the pleasures of life in that respect.
The general has way Of making dis
paraging remarks about reporters at
times. but newspaper obscurity is the one
thing he doesn't banker after"

Last Words.

A fascinating contribution to the lit
erature of crime is that Of the death
bed rawlings OF Arthur Dutch Schultz
Flegenheimer, reported by a Newark
police stenographer as he sank into
unconsciousness. Rarely. if ever, before
has such a document been compiled.
Through its garbled sentences, its un-i
finished phrases, it is possible to look into
the unguarded mind of a character
whose whole career was war against
society. The record is Illuminating for
its revelation of the pattern of a public
enemy's brain.
And, approached from that angle of
inquiry, Schultz was an adult child. Even
when ample allowance is made for the
effects of his injuries and the fever raging
in his veins, his incoherencies are those
of an immature personality-not the
romantic, clever, skillful genius of mis-
chief which the public had been invited
to believe that he was. Ideas, of course,
are jumbled in the text Of his utterances;

ernment spending as depression cure,
the White House suddenly is turning to
the idea of raising revenue estimates
and cutting spending estimates. Econ
omy talk is in the air. Budget makers,
working on the plan for the next fiscal
year which starts July /. 1886, aim at
a deficit under $4,000 100000, in place of
the present budget deficit of more than
three billion.
The President, judged by present signs,
plans to seek reelection as an advocate
of sound Government finance who Is
making progress toward a balanced
budget, instead of as an advocate of
spending for recovery.
Another change gets attention. For
two years the New Deal has been build
ing. 1t has worked on housing, on sub
sistence homesteads, on big dams Those
projects now are being completed. And
new problems arise.
Millions were spent on subsistence
homeSteads to care for stranded popula-
tions. Now it is discovered that people
formerly stranded in private areas are
stranded instead on the Government
projects. To help meet that situation
the Government at Reedsville, in which
Mrs. Roosevelt is interested, built fac
tory. But now the controller general
says that the Government can't run
the factory.
More millions are being spent on slum
clearance. Completed, the Government
is finding that slum dwellers who were
supposed to be aided by the new build
ings can't pay the rent that the Gov
ernment must have to pay out, and SO
the Slum dwellers move to new slums and
the Government turns to non-slum
dwellers to fill its apartments.
Mr. Roosevelt, back in the White House
again with new set of signals, will con-
tinue to call the plays. Gradually he Is
working back to his 1882 strategy, when
sound money, sound finance and ortho-
dox economics figured in his plans.

images. The dying man is psychology
cal baby. He gables about dog biscuits,
play jacks" and bean soup. Indeed, not
a single word of his recital was worthy
of the emperor of lawlessness which he
had aspired to be.
The truth, then, is that Flegenheimer
never at any time deserved to be ranked
as possessed Of a first-rate intelligence.
John Dillinger probably was irlmeas-
urably above him as thinker. But the
same fate has taken care of both. The
forces of opposition which they raised
Up against themselves by their own mis-
deeds cannot be defeated nor success
fully evaded. Organized civilization
suppl esses one. organized barbariSm the
other. Both perish by the impartial
sword which, once adopted cuts with
a double edge. They die by violence
because they had chosen to live by it.
Science. it may be expected, will study
Fiegenheimer's last words with care.
But the lay public also should read them
with attention. They demonstrate, as
nothing else can, the agony, the misery,
the degradation of such an end. In the
annals of the twentieth century they
should be preserved for the light they
throw on the conditions of the age

and progress which. sadly enough, can
be and are disturbed by baby minded
savages whose only claim to fame is
that of ignorance, violence, failure and
inevitable retribution.

Eternal Impulse.
In days of old, when people wrote
With chisels on a rock,
The rulers one another smote
Till history felt the shock.
Each luSty warrior raised a lance
In tribal discomfort
And everybody sought chance
To run the government.
A hierarchy tried to earn
A gratitude serene.
And each profession took its turn
On the tumultuous scene.
And fate has led them all a dance
Whose lives were boldly spent
In fierce contention for a chance
To run the government.
A few of philosophic mind
Were called against their will
To lead the way for humankind.
Yet what availed their skill?
The power that withers at a glance
Itself in turn is bent
Yet everybody wants a chance
To run the government!

NAVY Day.

Navy Day Of 1885. to be celebrated
officially tomorrow because this years
anniversary of Theodore RooSevelt's
birthday falls on a Sunday, comes in the
midst of gravely troubled international
times. Once again the shadow of war
darkens European skies and behind it
turks the dread mirage of another con-
f1ict that may embroil nations in both
hemispheres.
At such an hour the thoughts of the
American people turn pridefully and
gratefully to their sure shield" the
United States Navy, the Nations first
line of defense. They rejoice in the acme
of efficiency which it represents. Under
the eye of our sailor-President, whose
naval-mindedness is a particular source
of qualification to his fellow countrymen,
the fleet within the present month had
opportunity, in the waters contiguous
to its Pacific base, to demonstrate its
instant readiness for the tasks it may
some day be called upon to perform.
Preparedness, in a very literal sense, is
the Nays watchword.
On previous Navy days stress has been
laid on the necessity of constructing a
treaty fleet-an establishment of the size
allocated to the United States under
the 5-5-3 ratio arrangement with
Great Britain and Japan. Due to recur-
rent economy waves in the decade fol-
lowing the Washington Limitation Con-
ference of 1922, this country systematic
ally Jagged behind both Britain and
Japan in building the ships and provid-
ing the personnel to which it was entitled
under the treaty. 1t required persistent
pressure to persuade succeeding Con-
gresses to appropriate the funds necessary
to enable the United States to maintain
even a decent second or third place
alongside the British and japanese, who,
unlike ourselves, took advantage of their
treaty building rights.
Within the past year the Vinson-
Trammel bill, contemplating progress
sive expansion of the Navy, has become
law. Under it, if authorizations are not
tampered with, a United States treaty
Navy should be in commission by 1912,
in consequence of construction pro-
gram spread over the next five or six
years. Coincident with such a schedule
there are provisions for appropriate ad-
ditions tc enlisted personnel and tor an
augmented corps Of officers through in
creases in the midshipman student body
at Annapolis. No New Deal achievement
is more deserving of national acclaim
thar the plans for creation of treaty
Navy.
There remain to be provided modern
naval auxiliaries in the form of an ade-
Qllate merchant marine. In that dis
tinct component of sea power the United
States is still deficient. We continue to
be dependent on foreign shipping for
transport of much of our Sea-borne
commerce. Navy day is an appropriate
time fer reminding the country that
American strength at sea will not be
properly rounded out until we possess a
Navy built up to full treaty level in fight
Ing ships supported by an American-built,
American-owned, American-manned and
American-operated mercantile fleet COM
mensurate with our foreign trade and with
our rank as a frst-class power. "a
treaty fleet fully manned an adequate
merchant marine" is the goal which the
American people should set themselves
this Navy day!
