THY BROTHER’S KEEPER
/-«■ . It is
a far cry from the bar
barous times when the physical
ly imperfect child wa3 put to
death. This savage system of
eugenics finds little favor today
when the value of human lives—
jj§ even if physically imperfect—is
Si far better understood.
Our modern social order knows
m that a cripple, like the late Char
les P. Steimnetz, may be of ex
treme importance in the world’s
scheme of affairs. '
Yet, tlie world still holds fast
to the idea of a “sound mind in
a sound body," and modern social
and scientific effort is directed
both toward the preservation of
life and limb. • -
That is the basis of the “safety i*
movement in America, where the
danger gf accident is far greater
- than elsewhere because of the na
tion’s prosperity and enterprise, \
with the consequent vogue of the
' motor driven vehicle.
It is this, at least in part, which
■ bad led to the formation of the
National Safety Council, a co-op
erative organization designed to
promote the safety first idea.
We boast of the number of cars
in the United States, but we some
times fail to realize the dangers
these cars present, not only to mo
torists but pedestrians.
Every city knows this, however,
and every city has its acute “traf
fic problem. M
Organizations, such as the Na
tional Safety Council, devote much
energy to education along safety
lines.
That is excellent.
But in addition to abstract edu
cation we must utilize scientific
effort.
We must understand that the
human factor is not constant.
We do not know what a driver
will *do under any given set of
circumstances.
There is the safe driver and the
fool driver.
It is all very well to say that
the fool should suffer for his
folly, but today’s theory is to
•ave the fool from his folly.
It must be remembered that
the fool driver may not be a fool
in other things and that' he may
be a valuable member of society
when he is not at the steering
wheel of a car.
Also, that his folly does not
merely react upon himself, but
upon others.
His fool driving endangers oth
er lives and bodies.
Therefore it is essential that all
motorists be educated to the use
of the most approved safety de
i upon their cars,
Mi ains, bumpers, stop-lights,
Ml er wind-shield cleaning equip
m - and other safety devices
Id be thought of immediately
le purchasing of a car.

EATING.
The average person consumes
1,400 pounds of solid foods
about as much liquids each
In a lifetime one eats enough
to fill a train of freight ears
long.
The scientist statistician should
his work by telling us
the average cost per pound of this
food stuff and how many miles of
freight cars would be required to
hold the silver dollars used in pay
ment.
UGLINESS.
There is no beauty in poverty.
It is often ugly and cruel.
Judging by reports from France
an'd England relative to divorces
and remarriage by wealthy
American girls, one comes to the
conclusion that there is but little
beauty and happiness among the
rich, and a good deal of it is ugly.
DIRECT METHOD
The system Great Britain pur
sues may be clumsy, illogical and
apparently unworkmanlike; but at
least it insures that public opin
ion can be brought directly, and at
frequent intervals, to bear upon
the government of the country.
This yarn is credited to George
Ade.
A certain young man, accounted
smart in his own town, paid a vis
it to New York. Warned before
leaving home to steer clear of con
fidence men and sharpers, he pooh
poohed the idea of any one get
ting the better of him.
Reaching New York, he “took
in" Wall street and nad uncon
sciously' blocked the traffic while
gazing aloft at a flock of pigeons
hovering around a skyscraper,
A stranger in an elevator start
er’s uniform seized him by the
arm, pulled him to the sidewalk
and gruffly demanded what he was
doing.
H Counting pigeons,” honestly re
plied the Hoosier.
“Don’t you know that ain’t al
lowed here?" inquired the strang
er. “It's going to cost you just
$1 apiece. How many didjer
count? ft
Eight,” slyly inswered the
Hoosier, and triumphantly paid
the bill. He had counted twelve.
An Oregon man was trying to
sell a horse. The animal was
broken winded, but sleek. The
owner trotted him around for in
spection and, bringing him back
to the prospect, he stroked the
horse’s back and remarked: Hasn’t
he a lovely coat?"
The prospect removed his pipe
and said, as he looked at the heav
ing flanks of the animal: “Yeah,
his coat's all right, but I don’t
like his pants.

Dr. Dorten, now in the U. S.,

Rhine republic and has for years

His efforts failed—failed only
in that they were so successful in

SIR CHARLES PARSONS
While astronomers anticipate
the day when we may hold con
verse with Mars and inferior plan
ets, Sir Charles Parsons, noted
British scientist, thinks the time
has arrived for us to delve into
some of the mysteries that lie
untold far beneath the surface of
our own little sphere. 1
Sink 12 Mile Shaft.
The scientist claims that a 12
mile shaft should be sunk into the
earth and an effort made by us to
know more about subterranean
conditions.
The propect is arousing so much
interest and curiosity that prelim
inary plans for the shaft are al
ready under way according to
Sir Charles, who is best known as
the perfecter of the famous tur
bine engine.
Sir Charles Algernon Parsons,
who was born June .13, 1854, the
fourth son of the 3rd Earl of Ros
se, was educated at St. John's
College and Cambridge university.
He holds the degrees of Fellow
of the Royal Society, M. A., LL.D,
and Doctor of Sciences.
Noted Engineer.
He was at one time president of
the North-East Coast Institution
of Engineers and Shipbuilders and
he has been active in electrical
and engineering interests through
out England, serving at one time
as chairman of the Parsons Ma
rine Steam Turbine Company; di
rector of the Cambridge Electric
Supply Company and the Scar
borough Electric Supply Company
and as chairman of the Parsons
electrical and engineering works
of the C. A. Parsons and Co., at
Heaton, Newcastle-on-Tyne.
Sir Charles enjoys the distinc
tion of being a Knight Command
er of the Bath. He makes his
home at Mayfair.

and Germany will never
until they are divided by a
country. If the League of
had a real appreciation
the situation it would create a
republic. Such would be
practical solution. As it is,
body is in the clouds. If it
peace it must come to
and plant its feet on the
Rhineland. i,
Dr. Dorten asserts that a Rhine
should have two definite
aims—one controlling its
policies and having as its
a German confederacy, the
governing its foreign poli
and directed toward a Euro
pean peace. The two aims, if
attained, would, he believed, result
in a United States of Europe.,

him the city wasn’t running a
free hotel for his accommodation.

THE REAL QUESTION
H^—I’m sure we could get on
with my salary.

get off?
THE DIFFERENCE
