(Official City, State and County Newspaper) 8,000 DOOMED TO DIE A bulletin from the National Safety Council calmly predicts that more than 8,000 Americans will be killed by automobiles during September, October and Nov- ember, This follows the information that automobiles took 2,170 lives during August, and that during the first eight months of the year more than 16,000 people were] killed. ‘The year’s total probably will be well above] 24,000. One might suppose that news of this kind would galvanize the country into a clamorous demand for in- stant action. It does not, of course. We read the sta- tistics, shake our heads sadly—and forget about it. Among the people who fail to get excited by the rising death toll are, undoubtedly, most of the 8,000 who are marked for death in the next three months. We are not cutting down the auto death rate. Fatal accidents this year show an increase of nearly 5 per cent over last year. Our national habit of refusing to face unpleasant facts is having woeful results. The automobile is a magnificent invention. It has widened our horizons, increased our freedom of move- ment and dealt a body blow to provincialism. But, at the same time, the automobile is an extremely deadly weapon when put in the hands of the incom- petent, the careless or the selfish. The increasing motorization of the country calls for a number of things. It calls for larger and more capa- ble traffic squads, uniform traffic laws and signals, strict, country-wide dri ’ license laws, stiffer sen- tences for trafiic code violations. But most of all, it calls for a new attitude on the part of every individ- ual driver in the country. When you start out for a ride in your machine, remember that you are responsible for a moving mass of steel that can kill anyone it hits. A single moment of inattention or carelessness on your part may make you a killer. If your brakes are not in good condition ou may take a life before your drive ends. If you se your temper when another car passes you, and y to retaliate, you may land in a police station fac- © a charge of manslaughter. A moving automobile guided by a careless, hurried, ed or intoxicated man can be as dangerous as a razor in the hands of a madman. Good intentions will never avert an accident unless they are translated into terms of extreme care and thoughtfulness. Eight thousand deaths will be caused by autos before December 1. Will you be responsible for one of them? STUDENTS NEVER CHANGE As they were in the universities of the Middle Ages, so students continue to be with such changes in their outward manifestations as the customs of the succeed- ing centuries suggest. A French authority, writing of the early universities, mentions the students as a source of honor and rever- ence to the cities where they were, but adds that they ‘were sometimes viewed with suspicion by the citizens In Montpellier, at the time when Columbus was mak- ing his second voyage, the inhabitants “sacked” the medical school of the university located there. And of the student of the University of Paris it was said that he was not always the serious young person “full of zeal for his tasks, bending over glossaries of the Bible and Aristotle.” He was sometimes an impudent roy- sterer running in the streets, breaking open doors and “filling the tribunal with the noise of his escapades.” The founder of the Sorbonne had daily complaints, about the behavior of the students who were then and later “having a bone to pick with the police.” If they did not escort cows into belfries, pull trolleys off cars, or.turn theater performances into bedlams it was only because civilization had not yet made such progress. Despite the disorders which in the medieval univer- sities arose between town and gown, between students and teachers and between students and students, it was said of these early students that none frequented the universities except those of particular aptitude and Personal taste for study, and that many of them braved privation and poverty and did menial service that they might “penetrate at last into the sanctuary of knowl- edge.” Our modern colleges are not without a major pro- portion of such students; and “pranks” and escapades, and even disturbances that “fill the tribunals,” are not to be taken too seriously. The generic American student is sound in spite of his behavior as a member of a mob into whose psychology he is occasionally swept. j JAIL DRUNKEN DRIVERS The drunken driver who drinks to excess is the terror of the road. Persons who drink to excess have no business near the wheel of a motor vehicle at their moments of inebriacy. But should any driver even touch liquor while he or she is operating a motor vehicle? ‘ It is undoubtedly 9 fact that even a single intoxi ing drink often upsets the balance and normal at tude of mind of many e person, and affects his opera- tion of a motor car unfavorably. Liquor makes some persons confident. From other persons it takes away vontidence and makes them doubtful and hesitant. Liquor never mixes well with the driving of a motor vehicle.

INTERNATIONAL AIR MAIL With the recent inauguration of two new air mail routes connecting the United States with Canada and Mexice the American people became more closely bound to its two neighbors, The New York-Montreal line cuts mail delivery be- tween the two cities eight hours. The Mexico City- Laredo line reduces the mailing time between New York and the Mexican capital by thirty-seven hours. Both passengers and mail will be carried across the international lines in large planes of American manu- facture. In speeding up American business the air mail is playing an important part. Over a network of routes connecting the key cities of the nation it carries its cargoes through storm and night, through heat and cold, with almost perfect efficiency. The air mail has now started out upon the equally important mission of binding nations together. The postal traffic between the United States and Mexico and Canada is already heavy enough to war- rant these air lines. So they are justified by utilitarian as well as by diplomatic needs. The three good friends of the Western World will become better friends be- cause of this new bond joining them. DRY AGENTS’ GUNS On the outskirts of Lorain, Ohio, a man, his wife and their children were taking a quiet afternoon drive in their automobile. As they came to a small bridge three men sprang out from the roadside and yelled at them to stop. Fearing a holdup, the driver in- creased his speed. A volley of revolver shots was fired after them, and his daughter was shot through the head. She may die. The three men who shouted and fired were prohibi- tion agents, looking for rum runners. They are now i il awaiting trial. What happened was, to put it mildly, an outrage. And no one should be so quick to denounce it, and to insist that this sort of “enforcement” be abolished, as the good friend of prohibition. Every time some innocent person is ambushed and shot by an ignorant dry agent, a new platoon of ene- mies of prohibition is created. The dry cause has no greater foe than the quick-trigger enforcement officer who shoots first and investigates afterward. The more ardent a prohibitionist a man is, the quicker he should demand a housecleaning. Seeing Nellie Home! Editorial Comment ROMANCE BEHIND THE COUNTERS (Milwaukee Journal) A girl of the sports dress section and a youth from behind the novelties counter are married in Chicago. Not often is that news. Thousands of department store clerks do just that. But in this case the girl is Aleka, daughter of the late Prince Paul of Russia, and a princess in her own right. The young man, known to his fellow workers as George, is Prince Rostislav, nephew of the last of the czars. Thus from that reigning caste in Russia that ended in the Red Terror is created a new American family. They once knew wealth and luxury, though the luxury and wealth were founded on tyranny. Had history not intervened they would have gone on in the perfumed uselessness that was their birthright. The upheaval came and they were lucky to escape with their lives. But in America they find a new opportunity—and hap- piness. For George of the novelties and Aleka of the dresses, life in this country still holds every possibil- ity, to be molded, not in a caste, but in a bungalow or a third floor back with a dumb waiter as their retinue. COLLEGE HUMOR (Newark Star-Eagle) Any plan of college discipline that would transform students into tale bearers is doomed from the start. his is why the honor system for examinations after a test of several years, has been abandoned in the three upper classes of Yale’s academic department. Con- tinuance of it in the freshman class and the Sheffield Scientific school will give opportunity to compare re- sults. The student council had informed the faculty that “honor” could not be relied upon to prevent cribbing, nor even to keep the cribber from signing a statement that he had received no illegitimate aid. The chief ob- jection of the council, however, was to the rule requir- ing any student, observing another in this act, to report it to the faculty. Student honor might succumb to the temptation to cheat, but was superior to play- ine the spy. Those who were honest under the honor system are likely to be just as honest under faculty supervision. Those who were not will keep on trying to “get away with it”;-hut the upper classmen, as a body, are re- lieved of the obligation to “squeal” on culprits. When an improved student morale shall establish the axiom that the cheater is cheating only himself and his par- ents who are paying for his education, examination honesty may reach a higher plane. RENTING FARM FROM KIN (New York Times) Nearly a third of the tenants on American farms are relatives of their landlords, according to a report just published by the Department of Agriculture, In Wisconsin as many as 40 per cent of the tenant farm- ers are so related. In most such cases the relation- ship is that of son, son-in-law or brother. The pre- sumption is that these related tenants will in time be- come owners. While this is true of many other ten- ants, there is among them a larger number who are By RODNEY DUTCHER (NEA Service Writer) Washington, Oct. 13.—Probably no other campaign has ever seen such aclearly defined contest between the Hay vote and the city vote as in 8. Across the country, again id again, the question of greatest im- portance is found to be whether Smith’s heavy urban vote will be offset by the heavy Hoover vote out! the south, in the state, This is a question of enormous importance because it figures es- pecially in the largest states; that is, those with the biggest electoral votes. In New York, it’s a question whether the large majority of which Smith is certain in New York City will be beaten down ‘by the probable large majority which Hoover will have in the rest of the governor's own state. Smith cannot win, it is generally agreed, without York's 45 electoral votes. * New In New Jersey again, Smith is ex- { ‘ | threat of revolt. tion as percolates to your corre- spondent, to carry Seattle, Kansas City, Cincinnati and Indianapolis. The larger cities are wet. In them, also, are found the strongest Democratic machines. Further- more, religious prejudice against Smith is more likely to be offset by large Catholic populations. Rural sections, on the other hand, are traditionally dry and except in generally Republican. In certain rural sections, of course, the anti-Catholic propagandists have made their greatest head Un- accustomed to urban political ma- chines, the anti-Tammany argument also often appeals to them. * It is obviously necessary to qual- ify this picture of the urban vs. rural set-up by admitting important sectional distinctions, especially as regards the more sparsely populated districts. Politically speaking, there are three separate situations in the rural east, the rural south and the rural west. The rural east is normally Repub- pected to have a large city majority,|lican. The cleavage between city but the Republicans are confident that the rest of New Jersey will turn him down. Smith is again likely to carry Boston and most of the manufactur- ing cities of Massachusetts, but again Massachusetts is a very doubt- ful state because of the outside vote. Cleveland and Chicago are likely to go for Smith, but it may be a different story as regards Ohio and Illinois. This same parallel can, /be fol- lowed out as far as Francisco, which may go for Smith in the face of an enormous Hoover majority in California. It applies to Milwaukee in Wisconsin, St. Louis in Missouri, Baltimore in Maryland, Wilmington in Delaware and 50 on. * It is quite conceivable that Smith may carry six of the largest c in the country. His chances are at least fair in New York, Chicago, Cleveland, St. Louis, Baltimore and Boston. Among the next ten cities he is likely to capture Buffalo, San Francisco, Newark, Milwaukee, New Orleans and Minneapolis. But not so likely, according to such informa- the lincal or spiritual descendants of those restless pioneers who kept “moving” in hopes of improving their condition. In other words, the related tenants as a class are more likely to look to a distant future and so work and husband in a more intelligent and more productive manner. The latest census figures show that 28.6 per cent of all farmers in the United States are tenants. While this figure is not alarmingly large, it shows a small but steady increase during each decade since 1900. It is interesting to note, however, that of the improved land on the farms of the country only about 35 per cent is operated by tenants. While n> generalizations may be safely made without considering the distribu- tion of tenancy by counties, it may be suggested that less than a quarter of the farm lands in the country is in the hands of detached tenanis. The Department *of Agriculture has done well to call attention to this phase of the tenancy problem. Its Year Book for 1927 contains an informative article ‘on the subject by Mr. 0. M. Johnson. But the matter is werthy of more detailed study. Of interest is not only the proportion and disiribution of related tenant farmers, but also their ing capacity. As a rule the related tenents pay lower renis than do other tenants, A comparison of their crop yields to those of other tenants and of farm owners might facilitate a more exact understanding of the economic vaiue of the two s of tenanis, it is unlikely that so long as the urbanization of America continues there will be a decline in the amount of tenancy. But it is a healthy sign that the propor- and country is nowhere more definite in the 1928 campaign than in the east. The state election result in Maine was a convincing demonstra- Maine and Vermont have larger proportional rural votes than any other eastern states and they are the two eastern states which are sure bets for Hoover, The agricultural west also may be called normally Republican de spite its ticket-splitting tendencies and the fact that some of its states are always willing to elect a progres- ive Democrat for governor or sen- ator in preference to a conservative Republican. This year the attitude of farmers in the middle west and northwest is a source of concern to the Bepublicans and a source of hope to the Democrats. The possibility that some of the farm states will go for Smith is due to the fact that they are likely to allow dissatisfaction with the Re- publican administration’s farm rec- ord to outweigh other considerations such as the tariff, prohibition and religion.

The more polite term of “promo- tion” is now used in connection with those blatant activities intended to attract attention to everything from @ Chinese noodle resort to a $5.50-a- seat theater attraction. Loud speakers now keep the street crowds informed concerning the music and merriment in upstairs cafes and dance resorts. At noon- time, when lunch - goers amble by, the amplifiers shriek their loudest notes. The old-fashioned waxworks dis- | plays have been raided to “bally- 00” a play dealing with gangdom, A wax policeman stands at attentio# in the doorway; chains and hand- cuffs dangle from a lobby display at & rogues’ gallery; a peep-show re- veals a grisly crime and a ‘placard warns you to peep at your own risk. Livid skeletons peep from the black curtains of a display of paint- ings of the Spanish inquisition; mammoth pennants hang from the fronts of the movie palaces, bearing the names of the stars; talking electric signs shout the coming of the talking movies; gold-leafed lob- bies and a 25-cent-photo-while-you- wait place done in the latest French mordernist manner—a dozen and one attention attractors fight today with the famous bright lights for suprem- acy. Bit, of. all the new winter “bally- hoos,” the talking electric signs are creating the most attention.

This turns into a glue-like pus as the disease progresses and may even fasten the eyelids together dur- ing the night. This disease frequently follows measles, smallpox, influenza, colds and scarlet fever. Sometimes the disease, instead of being acute, is chronic in nature and lasts for a longer time, but usually without as violent symptoms. A chronic catarrh of the eye may be caused by eye strain, irritation from foreign particles, smoke or other causes. The eye is reddened, but there is not as large a supply of mucus present. ; Another type of inflammation of the eye, or conjunctivitis is known as trachoma, and is often called granulated eyelids. In this disease, small pus lumps appear on the under surface of the eyelids. This disease is quite contagious and is usually carried from one person to another by towels or by the hands. There is another very dangerous type of conjunctivitis that often re- sults in blindness resulting from a gonorrheal infection that may be carried either on towels or the hands. This disease begins much jike the acute conjunctivitis but also causes a pronounced swell- ing of the front of the eyeball, ac- companied by a thick pus discharge. Tha eyelids are sometimes so greatly enlarged as to be pushed forward entirely concealing the _ eyeball. There is a severe pain and tender- ness accompanied by some fever. This disease frequently results in blindness, as it may produce a sloughing off of the cornea or front of the eye, and permit the escape of the gelatinous interior of the eye- ball. Even if this does not occur, the cornea usually becomes more or less opaque. The disease is very contagious. A sad part is that this disease often occurs in babies about the third day after birth from in- fection during birth. Practically every nation now requires that the doctor place some weak antiseptic in the baby’s eyes as a protection against this occurring. The simpler types of conjunctivitis can be handled with an acid fruit fast, and the renewed application of cold wet cloths to the eyes. A person with conjunctivitis should of course be kept away from the possibility of infecting others, and his eyes should be guarded against light until the inflammation has subsided. The gonorrheal type of conjunctivitis is very dangerous, and while a fasting regime accom- panied by wet compresses is help- ful, it is also necessary that your dottor employ antiseptic measures to overcome this trouble in its early stages before it has an opportunity to destroy the precious eyesight. HOUSEMAID’S KNEE AND SYNOVITIS Between most movable joints there is a kind of sac or bag con- tric bulbs. Suddenly, to the wonder- ment of the crowd, she cries out— “You ain’t seen nothin’ yet, folks!” Even Major Amos Hoople would be surprised. . Meanwhile, over the spires of the city, floats a flying armada, zig- zagging the sky with wings illum- nae in gorgeous crimson, green or ue. Here may be the beginning of a new gay white way that challenges the stars. What with the new movies from out of the air and the brilliant air- plane signs, one begins to tremble for the Main Streets of tomorrow. | State: Don Dickerman is an outstanding example of the human paradoxes produced by Manhattan.

Housemaid’s knee is an acute in- flammation of the sac or bursa that lies in front of the knee. This dis- ease is often mistaken for an inflam- mation of the synovial membrane of the knee joint. In the latter dis- ease the kneecap is thrown away forward and there is much swelling at the sides of the knee, but with housemaid’s knee, the swelling is superficial and mostly in front of the kneecap. The treatment of the latter is to rest the knee and to apply cold applications. If pus forms from a chronic infection, it may be necessary to have the sac opened to permit drainage, An inflammation of the synovial membrane or sac of the knee is also & common occurrence, most frequent- ly found in those of a rheumatic tendency. In this trouble an ex- cessive amount of fluid forms in the synovial membrane causing a rapid increase in pain and swelling. If long continued, an inflammation of the entire joint may result in severe arthritis and cause a destruction of the ligaments of the joints, and even of the ends of the bones. Chronic synovitis (inflammation of the synovial membranes) often occurs after serious diseases, such as . smallpox, scarlet fever, gonorrhea, yemia, etc. This inflammation may @ so severe as to completely and permanently cripple the joint with- in a few days. Sometimes the joints may be attacked by tuberculosis. Children are frequently affected with inflammation of the long bones which is known as “growing pains” and which may extend to the joints and produce synovitis, ie Chronic synovitis is usually pre- disposed by a very chronic condition of toxic poisoning and one can not expect a cure within a few days. Focal points of infection should be treated by your doctor and you should also employ a cleansing fast to assist in absorbing the toxic ma- terials irritating the joints. It is usually necessary to employ an in- itial fast of from -eight to fifteer days, followed by a well balanced diet for about a month, and then a shorter fast of perhaps five days. which may be repeated at intervals until the inflammation has subsided. It is usually advisable that your doc- tor employ diathermy electric treat- ments on the joint to assist in bring- ing a larger blood supply to absorb the toxins so that healing may occur. It is particularly important that during the cure of this disease the bowels be kept from producing more toxins, and I usually advise an ene- ma morning and evening. One should avoid walking on the affected limb until the soreness has subsided, but exercises of the other joints should be substjtuted. Even after a cure has been effected, it will probably be necessary for the patient to watch his food carefully for a long time, especially with regard to food combinations, and to avoid the use of foods that might cause ex- cessive intestinal fermentation, Comings established a here in 1872, and was steamboat operations, Mrs. George W.
