Everybody Work.
More Beautiful Faces.
Imagination’s Power.
The Roosevelts and Adver- |
tising.
By Arthur Brisban
PRNARD SHAW has &
B scheme to pay the debt of
England . He would treat
the man or woman not working as
slackers were treated in war. He
says, “Until our debt is cleared to
the uttermost farthing, no able
bodied man or woman should be
exempt from the obligation to do a
fair day's work toward paying it
off.”
Ruthless conscription of prodnoc=
tive labor is his plan. The problem
then would be to deal with over
production, glutted markets and
the other ancient woes of industry.
Shaw, who is by marriage a rich
man, is opposed to the conscription
of wealth, That would not work,
he says. But it may have to work,
unless England decides to repudiate
¢+ her debt.
The number of beautiful female
faces has ilncreased greatly be
cause of moving pictures. Milllons
of young girls look every day at
the carefully chosen, most beauti
ful faces on the screen, and by
physical imitation and psychologi
cal influence they become more
beautiful. We may have a race of
women all with curly hair, rosebud
mouth and eyes two inches wide.
The influence of the eye upon
mind and body is very great. The
Bible tells you how the man that
was to have all the striped cattle
arranged to have the mother cows
look at striped objects constantly.
The calves were born striped.
Scientists say it is not so, but how
do they know?
In Greece the human body was
brought to greatest perfection.
Sparta killed off the badly shaped
babies, made the handsomest young
men and women run public races
entirely naked and with no thought
of immodesty. Constantly behold
ing beautifully made bodies im
proved the shape of the race. You
can not think of an ancient Greek
knock-kneed or bow-legged. The
modern dress that makes a running
woman move her legs sidewise like
a sidewheel steamer, and the mod
ern, ungainly, mping trouser legs
have produced imperfect bodies.
‘What umsu would you set to the
power of imagination? A street
car conductor watched a lady, hot,
uncomfortable, sitting at a window
‘that happened to have no glass in
the window frame. She fanned her
self violently, then put down the
frame in which there was no glass.
After that she was much more
cheerful.
A man felt that he was suffo
cating' in his bedroom, got up in
the dark, tried to open the window
and could not. Finally he broke
the glass; filled his lungs with air,
went back to bed and slept well
In the morning he found that he
had broken the glass of a bookcase.
Colonel Roosevelt's letter, writ
ten when Japanese and Russians
were negotiating peace in this
country, says: “The more | see
of the czar, the kaiser and the
mikado, the better | am content
with democracy even if we have to
include the American newspapers
as one of its assets—lliability would
be a better term.”
Colonel Roosevelt, himself an
editor, in a way would probably
have omitted the advertising power
of newspapers from his general
condemnation. No one knew bet
ter than Mr. Roosevelt, descendant
of an ancient Dutch family, that he
owed as much to advertising as
does “Olld Dutch Cleanser.” Roose
velt and the cleanser both required
strength to succeed, but they need
ed advertising even motre than
strength.
At this moment Colonel Roose
velt's son, Theodore the Second,
is making speeches, doing what can
be done by 2 number two to follow
in the footsteps of number one.
Young Mr. Roosevelt offers in his
latest speech a Roosevelt phrase,
“Meet 'em head on” He decides
that the I. W. W, ihe bolshevik
and the Socialist are all eriminals
and shou!d be treated as such, and
offers that as his political platform,
The young man is entertaining, in
a Roosevelt way, but that would
not do him any good, or carry him
forward without newspapers to ad
vertise his first, tottering footsteps
on the road to notoriety. |
Archduke Joseph, one of the
Hapsburgs, decided that his people
needed a royal leader, and an
nounced himself head of the Hun
garian gov;‘rnmc\nt. The allies
said, “We don't want any Haps
burgs, get out,” The royal and
imperial Hapsburg leader gets out
promptly.
It i& not so with the unknown
and not royal individuals Lenin
and Trotzky in Ruslia. They made
up their minds that Russia needed
leaders from the people, The
allles all said, “Get out,” and this
country has soldiers there trying
to shoot them out, But they do
not get out,
Deplorable as are Russian eon
ditions, and horrible as are the
charges made against the bholshe
vik government, it is quite clear
that any government originating
with the people themselves is maore
powerful than a government of
Romanoffs or Hapsburgs handed
down from above.

More Meat, More Live Stock,
More Wheat in Country Than
There Was Year Ago, Finding.
Cotton Supply Low, Wool Above
Normal, but Production Cut
Down by Manufacturers,
WASHINGTON, Ang. 30.—The/|
United States Counecil of National
Defense, through Secretary Baker as
chairman of the council, has submit- |
ted to the President and members
of Congress a full report on the con
comitants of the high cost of living
as surveyed by its reconstruction re
'search division—this in order that
various agencies charged with con
sideration of this problem may take
‘concerted remedial action.
j The findings of the council indi
cate that the high cost of living is
primarily due to curtailment in the
production of neariy all commodities
except raw food products, to hoard
ing of ystorage food products, to prof
iteering, conscious and unconscious,
and to inflation of circulating credit;
and that the situation may be most
advantageously met by stimulated
production; the repression of hoard
ing and profiteering, the improve
ment and standardization of methods
and facilities for distributing and
marketing goods, and the perfecting
of means of keeping the nation in
formed regarding probable national
requirements and current production
and stocks.
INCREASE PRODUCTIONN.
The findings particularly emphasize
the fact that high standards of living
can not be maintained upon any basis
of reduced production.
1 The report says in part:
“An analysis of the high cost of liv
ing problem brings out the follow
ing facts and principles as constitut
ing the essence of the situation:
1. The only complaints of the high
cost of living which have justifica
‘tion are those which are based upon
‘inability of present income to maln-l
ltaln previous or reasonable stnndm‘«lsl
of living at present prices.
‘ “2, America's industrial and eco
lnomic achievements during the wu‘.|
‘notwithstanding depleted man power
‘and diversion of productive effort to
‘war purposes, demonstrate the nfiix)lel
‘ability of the nation to sustain its
population according to a standard of
living equal to or above standards of
living which obtained previous to or
during the war,
~ “3. The fundamental basis for the
maintenance of national standards of
living is adequate production, eco
‘nomical distribution and fair appor
‘tionment among the various economic
groups which constitute our society,
IWuh the exception of agricultural
‘urnvny. production since the armi
gtice has shown evidence of curtail
ment, and has in general heen abh
normally low. Normal consumption
can not continue unless an adequate
rate of production is maintained,
“4. Food production and the facili
ties for food production were lm-!
proved rather than Injured during the
war., Moreover, the program with
respect to food production since the
signing o the armistice has been one
of vigorous expansion of the means
of providing raw food products, The
number of cattle slaughtered in the
period January to May, 1919, was
3,803,000, as against 4 204,000 for the
corresponding period of 1018, though
the national reserve of cattle on farms
has increased during the war. The
ulltmunn in regard to swine is sim
tlar.

Here are some striking, p(snts
brought out by the report of the
Council of National Defense on
the high cost of living:
Food is plentiful. 3
There is more meat in cold

bigger reserve of live stock on
farms. .
Supply of wheat and grains
ample, with nearly three times
as much wheat in elevators and

MONTGOMERY, Ala., Aug. 30.—
Convicted of forgery, escaping from
the penitentiary, enlisting in the army
under an assumed name, fighting on
the battlefields of France in the same
division as the judge who sentenced
him, honorably discharged from the
service, Fred Pentecost has won back
his good name and a parole.
“He was a good, brave and’ gallant
soldier, “reads the indorsement of his
commanding officer on his petition
for clemency, which was signed by
the trial judge, the Morgan County
solicitor who prosecuted him, the man
whose name he forged to a $2.60
chéck and scores of citizens who
know him.
‘ HIS REMARKABLE STORY.
Pentecost was convicted in the Cir
‘cuit Court of Morgan County for the
erime of forgery on July 7, 1913, and
lst-m»n(‘r‘d to serve ten years in the
penitentiary, ten years being the min
imum sentence under the law. On
January 28, 1917, he escaped from the
pepitentiary and enlisted in the
United States Army under the name
‘of Arthur Giffon. After many actions
lx France as an enlisted man in the
1290th Machine Gun Battalion, he was
honorably discharged at Camp I'un
ston, May 6, 1919,
Judge Thomas W. Wert, who passed
sentence upon Pentecost, served in
' the same division throughout the
war. In a letter to the , goverpor,
Judge Wert states the facts insthe
case.
“I have investigated this man's case
thoroughly,” Judge Wert states, “and
am satisfigd that this young man has
been in the army and has rendered
the services set out in his discharge.”
L BOARD'S RECOMMENDATION.
Following is the recommendation of
iyh.- pardon board to Governor Kilby:
[+ SThe pardon board is of the opin
“”" that the time served by Pentecost
before his escape was' entirely ade
lqn.nn punishment for the crime in
volved, and owing to his splendid
fsq rvice in the army of the United
| States, the recommendation of the
trial judge, the solicitor and other cit
!lzvm of Morgan County, we are of
' the opinion that this is g case where
elemency should be shown, and we
'vecommend that this petitioner be pa
| roled, conditioned upon hix future
' good behavior and observance of the
Naw."”
Pentecost is at present employed by
Morgan County, and {8 operating a
tractor in connection with some ime

Three-Mill Tax Elections for
Schools To Be Held Sept. 26.
ANNISTON, Ala, Aug. 30.—Other|
sections of sthe country may have
their shortage of food, be shy on
clothes, or run out of “gas.” It isn’t
a famine in any of these, or & frans
portation strike, that is worrying
Calhoun County. The board of edu
cation says it could fight its way
through any other problem, but here's
what it is up against: ¥
There’s a shortage in school teach-
REAL FAMINE. 8
And the board isn’' shy one teacher,
or even a half dozen. ()nly half the
schools of the county are supplied.
That isn't a mere shortage, it's a
famine and blande or brunette, young
or old, the bO:R is crying for school
ma'ams.
More than thirty of the country
districts have no teachers at all, and
dispite its efforts, the board fears
most of them will not cpen on time.
Some will be ready Monday, but most
of them will wait until September 29,
a few until Oectober 27 and some
even later,
HOLD ELECTIONS.
And the three mill tax elections
will have to be held over. The Su
preme Court held that the election
last fall, when an overwhelming vote
was cast in favor of the tax, was in
valid because the tax was spread
over tooo many years,
The date for the balloting has been
set for September 26 in all thirteen

FLORENCE, Aug. 30.—1 s the worldl
turned topsy-turvy? Have we, or
have we not won the war? Is it lruel
or not that the farmers have hnurded‘
more money than they ever dreamed
of before?
Is it true or'not that the waerkmen
are earning unhoped-for large wages
and that in spite of it all they have

ers?
What are they all clamoring for?
Why this disorder, this dissatisfac
tion, this unwholesome lust for hurt
ing oneself in order to hurt otners
and to push the whole world to the
brink of pérdition? |
TWO KINDS OF DISCIPLINE. |
~ Has victory borne no advantages?
Has money itself lost its magical
value? Has the pivot of the world
lost its bearings, or have the people
lost their minds?
To understand the problem we
should go back to our school anys
and remember how “man” was then
described to us as the “king of all
animals,” or better still, as the “first
and foremost living being.” He is
not a machine, “Discipline of labor”
and “discipline of war” are two:very
different things. To imagne that ml
lions of men can be made to pass from
one to the other and then back to the
former quickly.and easily is to ask for
the impossible.
Our ancestors knew it and they
had arranged that the man who
fought should remain a soldier, while
the man who tilled the soil or fol
lowed any other peaceful trade should
rever be called upon to become a sol
dier. Our times have changed all
that. We now exact as the most nat
ural thing in the world that every
man should be equal both to peace
ful and warlike efforts. And we are
astonished if, after five years ot
fighting, the world has fallen into
the eonfusion of tuese two opposite
disciplines (the peace and the wap
discipline), which, in clashing to
' gether, are creating universal an

Coast-to-Coast Mail in
Two Days by Airplane,
Prediction of Burleson
Same Six Planes That Entered Work Year Ago
Render Continuous Service With
Same Motors.
By ALBERT §. BURLESON.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30—Com
mercial utility has been the jugger
naut car of mail service progress
since the year 1829, when the polt-|
master general was first made a
member of the cabinet.
In the early days the need for
speed in ecarrying the mail, by the
pony express, encouraged the breed
ing of fast horses and so naturally
this branch of the service became the’
pioneer in the deeviopment of quick
transportation facilities. Rivalry in
mail carrying contracts stimulated
steamboat and railroad transportation
and has been a factor in their growth
and now again the service by its
quick dispatch is prgving the value
of the airplane in gommercial uses
The air mail routes are gradually
creeping westward,
FIRST CONTINENTAL ROUTE.
In 1836 the great Overland Mall
route by stage was estallished and
it was calculated it would take very
close tp a month for a letter to
travel across the United States. With
the gradual estoblishment of the air
mail service westward, no doubt mail
may be sent across the United States
in two days; especially will this be
true if night flying becomes a fact,
as indications point. From thirty to
two days is a decided change in
speed of mail.
The first year's operation of the
air mail gervice has vindicated the
judgment of the department in en—l
tering upon this work. In the year‘s|
operation an aggregate of 128,166
miles was covered and an aggregate
of 192,021 pounds of mail was carried,
the cost of opération being $137,-
900.08. 1t may be well to state here
that the same six planes that entered
upon this service a little over a year
ago with the same engines are ren
dering a continuous service, This
demonstrates that the results in com
mercial flying are much safer and
more practical than in exhibition or
military flying.
AIR ROUTE SHOWS PROFIT,
The transportation by airplane is
ordinarily twice as fast as by train
and the most promising of such routes
is the run from New York to Chicago, !
which already gives a handsome prof-|
it on operations, asures the short
ening of Pacific coast mail by 24
hours and throws an interesting light
on the dangers of aviation.
} In a period of one year, coverfin‘!
a travel of 128,256 miles, there has
never been an airplane carrying the
‘mnn which has fallen out of the sky.|
i'!'he-rn has not been a single death of
an aviator in carrying the malls,‘
which speaks well for the American
'bum airplane and the mrchanh‘u{
lwhn are engaged to keep them flying.
The casualty record for the year
'l'omprlsvs two deaths, One of these
was in the case of an aviator who
‘wun demonstratifig his flying ability
and the other a mechanic who fell
!lnm the propeller of a machine that
was on the ground.
; This record means, taking into nc»(
count all of the accidents, that there
has been but one death for each
64,018 miles flown; one serious ac
cident in each 64,018, and one minor
hurt for each 21,340 miles. This is a
record which will compare favorably
with any mode of mechanieal trans
portation in its piloneer period, Is
gpecially i 8 this record a strong trib

the time of transit by one-half.

.scheme is proposed for dropping mail
or taking it on from the roofs of
buildings.
If this proves practicable it will
bé possible to make non-stop runs
from New York to Washington, serv
ing Baltimore and Philadelphia and
eliminating fifteen minutes stop at
each place,
i Since the end of the war has made
‘available larger planes salvaged from
war stock, mail can be carried In
greater quantities at greater speed
land advanced toward the Pacific
coast daily to its destination. This
is a service that the public is now
demanding and will in course of time
supplement the train service. There
fore, the air mail has been placed
on the same basis as other mail tran
sit. The price of postage has been
made the same.
ALCOHOL USED FOR FUEL.
The war department has turned
over to the postoffice department
something over sixty aeroplanes so
far, many of these having been re
built for service in carrying the mail.
Alcohol with certain other additions
is now being used as a fuel with
marked success, and it is anticipated
that most of the motors will be fitted
to use this kind of fuel instead of the
higher grade gasoline. The value of
these planes will reach something
like $256,488.
' But one of the most important In
novations in the collection and dis
tribution of mail has been the intro
duction of government-owned vehicles
for city service. The contrace service
‘tor the collection and delivery of mail
and the carrying of mail between
depots, postoffices and stations s
being replaced, where it is advan
tageous to do so, by vehicles owned
and operated by the postal service so
soon as the private contracts expire.
Government-owned motor trucks are
being operated wholly or in part in
twenty-six cities,
CONVERT ARMY TRUCKS.
The extension of the use of the de
partment’s own trucks has provided a
means of utilizing a great many of
the surplus army trucks. The war
department has turned over something
like 2,992 trucks, valued at approxi
mately $3,781,760, for use in the city
mail service,
On account of the extensive use of
its own machines, the department has
found it advantageous in some of the
cities to operate ity own garages and
repair shops, especially where it is
not possible to lease adequate and
convenient quarters. It already has
begun work on the Washington City
postoffice garage, which is being
consgtructed on the ground of the eity
postoffice, on North Capitol street.
It will ecost about $60,000., It will
house 110 cars and will save $9,400 a
year in rent and SIO,OOO in dead mile
age, gasoline and time on account of
its convenience to the main ‘postoffice,
The automobile in _plage of the
horse driven vehicle did not come in
to regular use in the delivery and
collection of mail until g'z. Now
many of the rural carri furnish
their own machines under g provision
granting them additiona! compensa
tion.
Some of tha army trucks are being
used on special motor truck routes
laid out through territory not reached
by other means of N‘mmnurufitmn.
These experimental rontes are Deing
used on special motor track routes
laid out through territory not reached
by other means _of transportation,
| These experiment® routes are being
very successfully operated,
REDUCE LIVING COST.
The department has only a limited
appropriation for extending these
motor truck routes, but such as have
been operating have proven a great
ald In the distribution of products
from the farm to the city and mer
chandige from city to country, It has
also stimulated the demand for better
roads. The parcel post rates have
been increased and the rural motor
truck service has facilitated this
progress,
