Both are pro- and upstanding men, opinions are widely re-! spected within anc without their | own Stal Of both the LaFoll- | ette mana had entertained | high hopes, which are now turned | to ashes. | Senator Borah may not be tn! full accord with all the policies of | his party, particularly in foreign} matters, but he “entertains no be of most service in public life, by fighting for “clean, economic government and for progressive principles in- side the Republican Party’.’ The Idaho statesman is of dif- ferent stuff than the Brookharts and Norris He is no masquera- der, He d not seek election in| MR. DAWES GIVES SERVICE Charles G. Dawes is the particular target of many poli- ticians in the present political campaign. Among those who feel a strong antipathy to him is Smith W. Brookhart of Jcwa, who suggested he resign. Mr. Brookhart apparently ; s that Mr. Dawes should take no part in public life, use he is a successful business man. But suppose Mr. } Dawes had not taken part in public life! { During the World War Mr. Dawes answered the call of his country and served efficiently in France. After the World War Mr. Dawes answered a call to participate in pr>lic life and headed the commission of experts which evolved the Dawes plan for the settlement of Europe’s cconomic troubles and the vexatious reparations problem. A noted English financier says that the Dawes plan has’ stabilized European conditions to such an extent that Euro- pean countries have been enabled to make heavy purchases of foodstuffs in the United States. The Dawes plan, he s, has a distinct bearing in the increase of prices on farm product Other financiers and econom testify to the some vie Thus, if Mr. Dawes had remained out of public } - Mr. Brookhart would have had him do, the North- wesicre farmer might be receiving less for his grain at this time Ge menac Ge nany was in a troubled state. with many fearing the of Bolshevism. The Dawes plan has composed may internal troubles and will result in Germany get- « huge loan. This will enable her to stabilize finances, ‘ « business with other nations in an effort to recover round, will permit her industries to provide employ- ment for millions. Misery will be reduced and pleas for aid ror starving children probably will cease. Mr. Dawes was called to Washington to be the first director of the budget. The reduction in governmental expenses is in large measure attributed to the efficient aoe he gave in that capac The taxpayer has bene- itted American industry will profit by the settlement of Euro- pean aiairs, ana there wil: be more employment at better wages for American labor. period of years of prosperity for the United States solely as a result of the Dawes plan. Mr. Dawes thus has helped his country in time of war, has helped Europe in her time of need, has aided the Amer- ican farmer and laboring man, helped to stimulate business and reduce the burden of the taxpayer. He is called “hard boiled” but the result of his labors is a great boon to suffer- ing people of Germany. All this would have been lost had Mr. Dawes remained out of public life, as Mr. Brookhart would have had him do. The country needs more of the results achieved by Dawes, and his past performance is the best indication of what might be expected of him in the future. $10 PENALTY Wise Australia, determined to preserve its government by majority, recently passed a law by which any Australian citizen who fails to vote will be fined $10. If such a law had been in force in our country in 1920, fines totaling more than 250 million dollars would have been collected. Over 25 miilion American citizens neglected to go to the polls. On the other hand— If Americans were paid $10 apiece to vote, mighty few wou'd stay away from the polls. Yet failure to vote may cost us all a lot more than $10 apiece—in the form of ineffi- cient government, high taxes and waste of public funds and wealth. If for no other reason, vote in the interests of your waliet. Vote without fail! fail! YOUR vote is needed! vote is needed! Vote without fail! Vote without YOUR vote is needed! Your CLIMATE CHANGES Every old timer will tell you that we don’t have winters now like those in the old days. When the boys and girls thought a bobsled party was the apogee of fun—and they were right—and when nobody thought a thing of having to go out a below-zero morning to thaw out the pump. Maybe they’re right, maybe wrong. And by the way, the old timers are often more nearly right than young folk give them credit for. However that may be, the truth is that this old earth is by no means stationary as.regards cli- mate, and there is no guarantee whatever that we and our grandchildren will experience the same kind of weather. A case in point is the recent excavation, in a mine dig- ging in Alaska, of the bones and a section of hide of a masto- don. The animal, scientists declare, never could have sur- vived Alaska’s present cold. it throve best in the warmth. So, they reason, Alaska once may have been as warm as Florida now. ’Twas a matter of years—somewhere between a quarter billion and two billions. Nature usually is slow, usually thorough. But who knows what whims may seize her? The next time you hear the story of the cold winter of ’80, lend a respectful ear. You may have occasion to tell your grandson some day of the time when there were horses. ON THE MEND The steel industry, steadily recovering from the slump, is building up a big backlog of railroad equipment orders. A huge amount of rail business is in the market seeking bids. Steel makers figure their next big buying movement or boom will have railroad materials as its foundation. What can be expected in this line is shown by railroad purchases—over 600 million dollars in 1923, when their buy- ing was only average.

Nick jumped off his sea-horse ,and knocked at the front door. But nobody came. Then he knocked some more. But, still nobody came. “That’s queer!” said Captain Pennywinkle. “I was talking to Davy Jones just before you came. |I wonder what’s wrong.” | He jumped off his sea-horse and j}the Sand Man and Nancy jumped off their sea-horses, and they all went right in, because the front door happened to be unlocked. | There sat Davy Jones at his supper, fast asleep.

I mean | \I smell a minnow, for there aren’t | any mouses, I mean mices—I mean, mice in the sea.” “What do you smell a minnow fer?” asked Nancy: “Because I have an idea,” said aptain Pennywinkle. “What for jis Mister Davy Jones fast asleep | when he is eating his dinner?

But not all of it. “Ho, hum!” yawned Mister Jones just then as he woke and stretched. “I do declare, but that soup made me sleepy! Why, hello, everybody! I didn’t know we had company.” And then Captain Pennywinkle told him all about everything. ha, ha!” laughed Davy “Stole the sleepy sand, did “Ha, Jones. he?

NOT Come TRY (TF WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1924 ARE YOUR EYES DEFECTIVE By Albert Apple | A Boston reporter finds that a fourth of the people who |pass him on the streets wear spectacles. Disregarding the |myth that the average of intelligence and culture is higher ‘in Boston than in other cities, it’s reasonable to assume that | Bostonians don’t use their eyes any more than other metro- |politans. And, accordingly, that the Boston statistics hold i good approximately for the whole country. ; One person in every four wears glasses. Probably half the people who really need glasses ; wear them. A; i Net result. One American in every two has defective | eye-sight. Are we becoming a nation with bad eyes No other con- clusion is plausible when you contemplate the increasing number who have to wear spectacles. There are three causes for this: FIRST: Our generation uses its eyes while working much more than the old-timers who worked largely with their hands. The army of clerical employes has become a bewildering multitude, straining their optics. Manufactur- jing has shifted from the crude to the delicate and skilled, with further strain on sight. SECOND: The average American reads more in a day than his great-grandfather in a month. THIRD: Flickering movies strain and injure eyesight. The growing army of people with defective vision is cre- ating serious problems. One of these is the driving of an auto by eyesight weak and treacherous. The day is coming when applicants for driving licenses will have to pass examinations for vision as well as sanity and good judgmnet. Another form of sand in the gears is the clerical error caused by “poor eyes.” There’s a scientific theory that nature gives us what we need and takes it away when no longer necessary. This theory seems to have slipped a cog in the matter of eyesight to fit modern needs. The more we need it, the worse it gets. New York, Oct. 15.—The big- gest civic problem in New York is that of its traffic. Yet in 1872 there was a wood- en, overhead bridge at Broadway and Fulton street, built because the traffic in Broadway was so congested that pecple could not cross the street. There were no traffic policemen in those days. “But the women were more mod- est,” a gentleman of those times recalls, “They would not use the bridge because they feared an inch of their well-covered ankles would show when they walked up the steps. They waited to walk across the street rather than be immod- est in climbing the stairs. “The girls of today would wel- come the excuse to display trim, silken-clad limbs,” he declared. And it is possible that a few overhead bridges might alleviate the traffic congestion today. She is of the demi-mode of New ‘ork, known as the friend of a millionaire manufacturer, who rose from penury to great wealth al- most in. the twinkling of an eye. She clung to him in the dismal days. He always promised that “when he made his pile” she would have the luxhries of a queen. He is one of few men, in such cases who really kept his promise. | In regal splendor, with many Do you teach your boys and girls to face bravely the minor diffi- culties of which childhood’ is full? It is one of the most important functions of a parent, and one of the most neglected. The average “mother complex” grows out of the protective instinct of the mother. It is the mother in- stinct to protect the child from all the bumps of the world, to take the child’s part under all circumstances and to keep it away from the reali- ties of life. As science penetrates human re- actions it is made plain that the servants, she lives in a lavish apartment. She has few intimates and seldom goes out. With all she has, she is always sorrowful, brooding. She is an habitual alcoholic. Her days are numbered, and the ‘bloom of youth has faded. Just as she could have begun to enjoy herself, I am told, her son— the child of an early and unhappy marriage—learned the truth about his mother and has since refused to visit. her. Two wealthy young women from Brazil have opened a fashionable coffee house, just off aristocratic Fifth Avenue, where coffee, pre- pared after their native fashicn is given away free. The story goes that Beatrix Souza-Quiriros and Albina Frias, came to New York on an extended visit. They were not satisfied with New York’s coffee, so they sent to their native land for a supply. Then they saw it roasted, after the fashion that pleased them, and brewed to suit their tastes. Friends, served with the brew, urged them to open a coffee house that the public might enjoy a “cup of good coffee.” After several months the wealthy girls did. Now their place is a mecca for coffee drinkers, but the drinks are “on the house.” —STEPHEN HANNAGAN. FABLES ON HEALTH. CHILDHOOD PROBLEMS modern mother must teach her chil- dren to face the trying moments of life and to tell them they can be wrong as well as right. How much development of futur character lies in these moments bé- tween mother and child can never be estimated, but it is now a scien- tific fact that if a child can be placed squarely against the petty difficulties of his young life and see them through, he will be much bet- ter prepared to face the major dif- ficulties. Parents should think this over and act accordingly.
