And the surgeon generi of the Public Health Service, IL 8. Cummings is authority for the assertion that of this number 100,000 could be prevented easily “by the appli- cation of available medical knowledge.” The sav- ing of 100,000 lives in a year means much, It means as many people as all who live in such cities as Duluth, a couple of Wheelings, Tacoma, and San Antonio. Something really worth while. The surgeon general declares nearly everyone of the 15,000 deaths from diphtheria could be prevented if anti-toxin treatment were resorted to, or permit those susceptible to diphtheria as shown by cultures to be immunized. He says that nearly all of 10,000 deaths a year from ty- phoid fever could be prevented if communities would only be sure that their milk and water supplies are pure, and if but the simplest precau- tions were taken in homes where typhoid is} found.

They a presented here in order that our readers may have buth vides of important issues which are being dis- cussed in the preva of the day. THE TURN OF THE TIDE The pendulum of business which had swung so far up toward high prices and feverish activi- ty, has been for some months swinging back again toward nominal prices. The question is, How far will the swing of the pendulum take it before it pauses and begins the backward swing? This is substantially the question the Rericiw of Reviews asked a number of expert obs r some of them practical leaders in indus some of them more academic students of econom ic trends. The answers make an instructive sym- poesium in the January number, It is sig ant and reassuring (hat every one of the participants in the discussion believes that the end of the period of readjustment. is ap- proaching. Most of them believe that spring will see the turn in the tide, Irving Fisher, professor of political economy at Yale, thinks the latter half of 1921 will be a period of prosperity, but without a return to pre-war price levels, There has been a perma- nent dislocation of these levels by two agen system and the inflow of gold because of the war.’ Hoth of these are here to sta i Warren M. Persons, professor of economics at Harvard, picks April as the likely month for! business revival to-begin. By that time present’ stocks of goods, not large now, will be lower still and demand will grow. not reach the pre-war level, and wages will some. what tardily follow them downward. But pa: [ee ees .

Rollo looked up from his ouija board and in a sweet, childish voice asked : “Unele George, how much income must a man have to keep an automobile?” : Then Uncle George took down a ‘government report, looked in it and said: “Last year only 4,- 425,114 Americans stepped forward and admitted in hollow voices that their income was as much as $1,000 a vear if single or $2,000 a year if mar- ried.” Then Rollo said: “So not many of them owned cars.” But Uncle George said: “In the same year about 6,100,000 Americans were somehow able to own and operate pleasure cars. This leaves 2,- 000,000 single men who say they make less than $20 a week and married men who make less than $40 a week, vet somehow they al! manage to keep the old bus in repairs and gas.” Rollo asked : “Prices were so high in 1918, how did those 2,000,000 people ever get money to buy their cars in the first plac Uncle George tried to figure it out but gave up. He said: “In New York state tive people paid in-| come tax to every two that owned cars. In North Carolina there was only one tax return for every five autos.” “How do they do it?” Rollo said. “It beats me,” said Uncle George. “Kither a lot of fellows are dodging taxes and making more for the rest of us to pay, or else they've discover- ed how to make a dollar stretch like rubber.” Sixth grade teacher in Pennsylvania forced his pupils to play kissing games. They need no fore- ing in high school. LENGTHENING DAYS A few weeks more and the lengthening of days, already begun, will become noticeable. Each day the sun arrives a bit earlier and lin- gers a bit longer and ey attests the promise of recurring life beneath the shroud of winter. A few weeks more and melting snows will re- veal again the proofs of immortality in the early greens bursting through the sodden earth. Thus is nature staging her profound morality play for doubting and despairing morts walks in darkness, bare of hope, like the gaunt tree swaying before winte’s blasts. And to such, nature says: “See my winter. It is the symbol of your desp: of your life. And, yet, have you observed how the sunlight already is breaking into and dissolv- ing the dusk of the short day: “And do you know that the ingly as bleak as your heart, is astir, underneath h new second of sunlight, is. The bleak winter day is as the embittered soul that: y and the bitterness rth, today seem-; jest. Seems as though the hell hops were in employees is a matter of the first importance. A. Barton Hepburn, head of the Chase Nation- body was helping inflation, blind to the inevitable fall of prices. Now people, going to the other extreme, are curtailing too much. He finds our sound financial condition a greatly alleviating feature of the situation. A banker on the other side of the Continent,’ Frank B. Anderson, head of the Bank of Califor- nia, San Francisco, names six things we need to: bring back normal times: A revenue law that! will reward the results of saving and punish spending; absorption of undigested Liberty: bonds; giving to consumers the benefit of the drastic declines in raw materials; lower wages, minimized by enhanced efficiency ; restoration of foreign trade ; funding of the Government's debts; on a long time basis. That is a striking program, but quite within reach, And Mr. Anderson thinks it need not take long to accomplish, as there is a world of work to be done when material and labor get on a reasonable basis. : It is the expectation of Samuel TT. edges, president of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, that the present readjustment will induce people to come back to the land for the production of elemental necessities. Wage cost, Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore & Ohio, points out, includes not only actual rates of wages paid, but also the efficiency of the worker. He sees a reduction in wage cost already, through the enhanced efficiency of the worker, and he expects wages to show a down- jward trend to keep along with prices of mater- ials. Two editors contribute their opinions, Clarke Howell of the Atlanta Constitution and William (, Edgar of the Northwestern Miller, Minneapo- lis. Mr. Young expects to see a reaction under full headway hy spring. Mr. Edgar is no less \optimistic, if not so definite. He believes that America, which has met every emergency since 11914 with fine intelligence and spirit, is not go- ling to he danated by the List problem following at war—the readjustment to uorial, And it will be solved quicker, if every one, realizing | that the days of lush extravavgan:e are cver, faces the music courageously, Samuel PL Celt, head cf the United) States j Rubber Company, expects that current readjust- ments will in the nes: six months merge into sub- siantiaily mormal times. These views of the situation and the prospect are red bevsmse they dreans of inveterate optimists, but the consider ed opinions of nen who are eceustemed to look ‘the facts in the face. We still have some weeks of industrial and commercial unsteadiness ahead of us, but) the pUpturn may be closer at hand than we think.

BETTER ;: HIGHWAYS : ‘ erecccccnccccccccccecneny LINCOLN HIGHWAY IS WONDER Ocean-to-Ocean Road Is No Longer an Unrealized Oream—Specifications z Not Decided. Seven years ago the iden of a trans- continental highway connecting New York with San Fraticisco, improved throughout its length and forming a backbone for a great national system of arterial roads, was only a dream in the winds of a few. Today the accom- | plishment of this great memorial route i stretching trom ocean to ocean 18 as: sured. The Lincoln highway breathes the twentieth century. In years to come it will be adorned, as were the Roman roads, with statuary, lundmarks, homes, hotels—a panorama of the achievements of man, It will be the path of advancement, a golden chain linking the Atlantic to the Pacille. The motor truck {s in its infancy and highway freight transportation as | an adjunct to the railroad is only just | beginning. Jas But the Lincoln Highway jation feels that it is well within Its province to act as a clearing house for the best thought In the United States concerning the probabl ments of main arte Ameri ways in thé next 20 years, will be the specifications for this wonder road? That has net yet been decided. The difficult problem, but it believes that it will ‘have, in solving it, not only the interes est and support of the American pub- | lie, but the co-opervtion of the engi- neers and highway comtissioners, and alsu the best technical experts the country afvords. Some of the finest concrete roads of the country are to be found in ehi- gan, These have a standard thickness at the sides of six and a half inches. About the best stretch of highway we ‘ have at present is the Lincoln high- way from New York to Philadelphia. It is 96 miles long. and every there ” tons. This read is eight inch ep at its center, This is the thieke: ng in the United States to hether the show road of the world “will be of this thickness or deeper is under consideration, There is some Stretch of Concrete Koad in M.chigan. thought of making It ten and a half inches at the sides and 12 inches at the middle, for it must be permanent. If the added advantage of this thic ness overbulances the additional cos of construction, then the plans will call for this depth. It may be made even thicker than this. No one knows until the engineers have expressed their plans. ‘The width must also be carefully tho t out. The as: jon’s plans do not stop with the construction of the read It- self. It has long been apparent that altl mately -there inust) develop along America’s main routes of heavy pas- senger and freight transportation, a new and distinetive type of accommo- dations catering particularly to such tratlic and uated perhaps in’ the open country, Such accommodations, removed from the traffic and noise and necessarily higher prices of the congested centers, would provide for the tired and dusty tourists, or the drivers of freight-transport vehicles, convenient night stops where every effort would be made to cater to this particular type of patronage. In conjunction with such accommo- dations arrangements would be pro- vided ,for those tourists or travelers desiring to camp out. Free camp sites are even now being provided.—By Fred Gilman Jopp in Popular Science Monthly. ECZEMA IN RASH CUTICURA HEALS All Over Baby’s Hand-and Face.
