It was to the effect that all parts of the population of Herrin, Ill, have joined together for the best interests of the com- munity. This is in deed glad news from the town that by its blood- shed earned for itself the sobriquet of Bloody Herrin. Only after a period of murder and lawlessness did Herrin learn the lesson of obedience to the constituted authority of law. It was a bitter lesson, but it is hoped that it will Jong abide in the minds of those who not so long ago gainst their fellow-citizens.

Rowell A California editor-legislator, apologizing, as they all do, for his share in the flood of bills, explains that he did not himself originate the bills he introduced. They “came from his constituents, and from the administration.” That being the usual case, why should the messenger- boy introduction of these bills be a function of the legislator? Let him introduce such bills, if any, as he originates him- self. But at least the “administration” bills should be in- troduced by the administration. ‘ And if bills from the unofficial people are. desirable, why not authorize the people to introduce them directy by peti- tion? A single individual, naturally, should not have that right, unless he is a legislator. well have it. But any sufficient group might Then the legislature (or Congress) could concentrate on its real function, which is to decide. What is the biggest imaginable news? Naturally, what- - ever is the biggest possible thing, happening at the nearest possible place and time. A big thing far away in space or time, as famine in , China or the fall of the Roman Empire, or a small thing near by, as a dog-fight next door, are about the same size. That is the element of perspective. Supposing the Sun Should Explode But imagine the biggest possible thing absolutely, regardless of near- ness or farness. If the sun were one solid mass of dynamite, and it should suddenly ex- plode, ‘annihilating all-its planets, and leaving our earth scarcely a spark in the-tremendous blast, that would be about the limit of possibil- ity. Nobody would survive to report it, of course, but the story itself, if it were reportable, would be the big- gest thing that ever “broke.” Well, just that did happen—not exactly the other day, but as near to it as the speed of light could carry the news. In the constellation of Pictor, in the southern skies, a brilliant star, bright as the North Star, suddenly appeared wherenone had been visible before. Of course, that mi some tre- mendous cosmic catastrophe, qua- drillions of miles away, which must have wiped out a whole solar sys- tem, with its worlds, inhabited or uninhabited, in a flash, Naturally, nobody is excited. It is too far away. But in the perspective of the Ab- solute, something happened—some- thing of the sort does happen every | few years—a billion times bigger than all the events of earth and its sister planets since the day of their birth. Measured by that standard, we are less than microbes on a speck of star-dust. Prohibition May Work After All Deaths from bad booze have gone up in California some 400 per cent above the minimum of the first days of FABLES ON HEALTH prohibition, before bootlegging was organized. But even that 400 per cent is 300 per cent less than the deaths from “good” liquor before prohibition. So prohibition must do a lot of pro- hibiting, after all. It will be conceded that the stuff that is peddled now is far more fatal than the “pre-war” beverages. It would take much less than one-third as much of it to kill one-third as many people. And California meantime has grown rapidly in population, so that whatever booze there is has to be divided among many more people. Allowing nothing for the greater killing efficiency of the present boot- leg stuff, there are little more than one-fifth as many people killed by it, in proportion to pepulation, than there were in the “old days.” Voliva Believes His Bible, All Right Now it is Voliva thta gets into the evolution’ controversy. And he is the only one who really has the eour- age of his convictions. He really believes his Bibie. When he reads that the earth is flat, then, for him, it is flat. The sky is a roof over it, the sun goes around it, and the earth has four corners. For so it is written. The rest of the literalists should do likewise. Their predecessors opposed~ the Copernican theory of the rotation of the earth around the sun on precise- ly the same arguments they now use against evolution. They are good argumenis in hoth cases, or neither. But only Voliva’s faith, in our generation, is robust enough to sxy so. 3 FLY IS SPREADER OF DISEASE the Nature has so constructed house fly as to make it an ideal car- rier of disease germs. In the first place, the fly is born and bred in filth. It feeds and lives upon filth: Its body is covered with fine hairs and bristles which act as excellent carryalls for this filth in which it moves. Even the flies’ wings are fringed with hairs and thickly studded with bristles. : Also the fly has six feet, with pads beneath, and great claws, and bris- tles of various lengths and sizes, which: naturally afford safe places for the collection of all kinds of dirt and refuse that the fly is accustomed to visit. _ Flies are the most active agents in spreading typhoid fever germs. The fever is caused by a small germ which lives in the boweis of puman beings. Then to take ty- phoid fever, one must partake of the bowel discharges of a typhoid fever patient. The fly helps greatly in this by carrying these germs and leaving . them on the dining room table. vided that they should not receive® the principal of the estate until all of them, were 60 years old. Philip is 38 and the oldest. He is president of the bank and his broth- ers are officers. Despite the father's lack of trust in their youthful judg- ment they have expanded the busi- ness until they have offices in several other cities and are rebuilding the old bank on Mulberry street. The business is more prosperous than it ever was, but the boys will have to wait wu they grow up for their inheritance. : With the literati and profession- als gaining ascendancy in higher society aspiring mothers of debu- tantes and young blades are fac- ing a new problem. If one is to be- long to the inner circle one must know how to “talk.” Heretofore you could be dumb if you were beautiful or wéalthy. Now that condition has changed. Regu- lar courses in the subtle art of parlor conversation are being given to so- cial aspirants. Voices are cultivated, with especial attention to modulation and diction. This course requires two hours twice a week over a period of three month: After the course of study is com- pleted theories are put in practic ‘The pupils are drilled in the essential d is of various subjects, thus ning @ smattering of he ar literature and . sports.

Down tion, as unique and most worthy movement. ; The men are E. L. Fuller, pastor, and G. L. Jenkins, deacon, of St. An- thony’s Baptist church, one of the youngest but one of the best patron- ized of the local negro churches. Fuller, to make the plan possible, sold his home in a good residence ction of Minneapolis and bought a house in a less desirable location, part of which is being used as a church, Fuller told Rasmussen that “it just happened that Jenkins and I had the same idea: at the same time, to get into something to help out our people.” Fuller, a native of Iowa, said in his travels he had noticed that the members of his race who left the south to. settle elsewhere, “seemed to lack appreciation of what * the white man is doing for them.” The main object of the project is not so much. to. cater to those who already have religion and appreciate their surroundings, as it is to guide the newcomers from the south to adjust themselves to their northern abodes. Fuller and Jenkins, so far as pos- sible, are working under the guid- ance of state Baptist headquarters. Other negro churches have indorsed the project.
