The Soviet government has
been anxious to prevent China's
collapse. It has sent a certain
amount of war material to Gener-
alissimo Chan Kai-shek which was
more useful to bolster the morale
of the Chinese than help them in
military way. Russian observers
informed Moscow that the fall Of
Hankow would impair the resist

THE ROAD TO THE CEMETERY

When the final and official figures
are tabulated, it will probably be found
that the automobile death toll in 1887
reached new all-time record, exceeding
the 1886 slaughter with its $4,000 vic
Tins
There is no reason for being sur
prised at the continued increase. Each
year cars are made faster and more power
ful-and q dangerous percentage of them
become the property of drivers who
couldn't be trusted to operate a bicycle
safely. Roadways and surfaces are i'm
proved, thus offering a new temptation to
excessive speed. Ard the number of ac-.
cidents in which John Barleycorn is fac
tor tends to rise steadily.
This doesn't mean that the auto
mobile accident toll cannot be reduced. 1t
can be-but it is going to take action, not
words. The individual responsibility of
each motorist when ne slides behind the
wheel of projectile weighing ton or
two and capable of doing eighty miles an
hour, must be driven home. Law enforce
ment must be strengthened. The ''fixer"
of traffic violations must be eliminated. 1t
must be realized that driving a car OF the
public highway is privilege, not right
to be abused-and license laws must be
more stringent Finally, there must be
Swift and sure punishment for the reckless
or drunken driver.
- There are several hundred thousand
graves nI-this country that constitute mute
testimony to our past laxity in controlling
The automobile. Unless public demand
forces a change, you may fill one of the
thousands of new graves that, figuratively
speaking, will be dug by motorists in the
years to come.

A JUDGE TALKS OF THE BAR

Justice Francis Martin, of the New
York Appellate Court, urges limitation
of law schools and student to eliminate
ambulance chasing and similar types of
lawyers.
The jurist recalls that ''the bar earned
and held the respect of the community for
generations but that 'men with no stand
ing in the community have come into our
ranks" With nothing but educational
tests to pass, unfit persons have over
crowded the field until there is mad
scramble for business, lowering the
prestige of the bar. ,..ss5sss
Apparently conditions in New York
are like those everywhere else. There are
so many lawyers turned lose that competi-
ton for business leads to lowered ethical
standards on the part of those morally
qualified to uphold the great principles of
the law Because there is nothing required
in the way of character qualification, the
bar is also peopled by men interested in
nothing except to use the machinery of
justice as a personal racket.
We do not propose a solution of the
problem. 1t is not the function of the press
to tell lawyers how to clean up their house.
1t is refreshing, however, to know that
many eminent attorneys are concerned over
the present disrepute of 1.-The law in the
eyes of the public generally.
q Once the need of reform is realized
by the bar remedy will be found. This
will not be easily put into effect because
of the opposition of those who, for lack of
a. better term, are referred to as, .tsshyster''
lawyers. They will fight to retain easy
pickings but attorneys generally might as
well know that unless there is reform from
within the bar, there will be more drastic
action from the outside

Disease To Be Heard

live and raise our children He
stated it is a well known fact we
have the finest climate in the
world and all we have 20 do IS
prevent contagious diseases from
spreading among our citizens.
Outlining the pertinent facts,
the Doctor made the following
statements:
Syphilis is the great imitator.
Tracts like so many diseases that
it often makes a permanent Grip
pie OF a person before the disease
IS recognized The initial lesion
IS primary sore sometimes so
small as not to be noticed. In
about six weeks a rash may ap-
pear over the body. This IS a
very contagious disease in its
early stages and unless a COM
petent physician is consulted it
may go into a third stage where
it affects the heart, blood vessels,
stomach, liver and kidneys and
there cause permanent damage,
disabling the person for life. II
is one of the principal causes of
people having to enter, as
patients, in insane asylumS.
What causes Syphilis? Sy-
philis is caused by a germ called
Treponema palladium which may
enter the body through the skin
or mucous membranes. The moist
mucous, membranes of the lips.
mouth, nose throat and ganital
organs, !. are particularly Sus-
ceptible, and the organism can
penetrate even though there is no
perceptible break in these it's
sues.
Most cases of syphilis are ac-
quired during physical contact.
However, many cases come from
contact with other sources such
as kissing or by contact such as
a drinking glass recently soiled
with discharges which contain
living syphilis germs. Infection
from soiled drinking glasses,
plates, knives, forks. spoons, etc
may be prevented by properly
steriliZing the utensils.
The public should demand
that soda fountains, saloons, cafes
and other eating places should
furnish them with properly steril-
lied eating and drinking utensils.
Automobile companies did not
furnish tops or safety glass until
the public demanded them. Rath-
er than lose trade, owners viii
soon comply with the health reg
ulations- All employees of the
above have to have physical ex-
aminations and a specimen of
blood must be taken for syphilis.
This is a law to protect the pub
lie and no physician can truth
fully certify person as free
from contagious diseases such as
syphilis until the blood is ex-
amined in competent laboratory.
The State furnishes these labOra-
tories to examine blood free of
charge.
Syphilis Kills Babies. Proper
treatment of the expectant moth
er prevents infection of the un-
born child. Syphilis can be
transmitted to the unborn baby
Every expectant mother should
have a blood test, if found to
have syphilis she should begin
treatment before the fifth month
of pregnancy and continue it I'M
til the baby is born

riage is the best way to prevent

His Theory Too

This latest flight across the

possibility of bombing America
from Europe. They had to start
from FoyneS, Ireland, which
they would have been prevented
from doing had they any hostile
intentions toward America.
They had TO land in Canada
and refuel. When they arrived
in New York they had to refuel
again before attempting the re-
turn journey. Hostile planes
would have had to make a
double journey, carry fuel, drop
bombs, then return to their
base without previously alight-
