(Official City, State and County Newspaper) ~ THE SEARCH FOR OIL With oil, the world’s present problem is not finding ‘ways and means to get along with an inadequate sup- ply. That is a problem for the distant future. The task at hand is one having to do with elimination of waste, prevention of overproduction, and conservation o assert his client’s innocence? No. He files an attack on the grand jury that is doing the in- vestigating, asserting that it does not have the legal right “to make findings of fact on which to base in- dictments.” It is that sort of maneuver that has filled the aver- age man with a deep distrust of courts and lawyers. A layman would suppose that the only question at issue was the guilt or innocence of the accused men; but some lawyers prefer to split hairs in the hope that that Point can be dodged. GAS TAXES The air may yet pass the highway, railroad and ocean as the popular choice for pleasure travel and com- mercial transportation; but in view of the latest fig- ures on gasoline tax collections and the uses to which this revenue is being put, it would seem that the day when that contingency will have arrived belongs to a future that is still far distant. From January 1 to June 30, of this year, forty-six states and the District of Columbia collected a total of $140,635,398 in taxes on 4,652,393,535 gallons of gas- oline. Over the corresponding six months in 1927, the gain was 700,000,000 gallons taxed and $39,000,000 collected. When the gasoline user learns that the gasoline tax in the first six months of this year produced $95,849,113 for the construction of state highways, $29,557,416 for the construction of local roads, and $5,630,668 for the payment of interest on and redemption of highway bond issues he experiences a feeling of satisfaction in the thought that he is contributing his own individual share, be it much or little, to the improvement of the highways of his community, state and nation. Surveys such as that responsible for the gas tax statistics render a public service, for they help reconcile of the untapped reservoirs. For many years men have tumbled over one another in their haste to discover, and to drain, the world’s oil reservoirs. It mattered not whether there was im- mediate demand for the output. When production exceeded consumption huge tanks were built in which superfluous petroleum could be stored and the cost of the motorist to a tax under which he is inclined to chafe until there is brought to his attention the tre- mendous amount of essential work this tax is doing. The benefit of good roads, built, improved and main- tained to a large extent with money obtained from the tax on gasoline, is shared more largely by the owners and drivers of motor vehicles than by any other class. They should bear their fair share of the cost of provid- building and maintaining these artificial reservoirs was added to the cost of oil. Lately a new policy has been gaining ground. Why not permit the oil to remain underground secure in its natural reservoirs until such time as demand makes necessary its removal? Though drilling and pumping should not be extended ‘until consumption catches up with production, the world-wide search for new oil-bearing lands should not stop. That the search will go on is evidenced by the application of oil operators for the assignment of five short wave channels to them so they can use the tadio in their research and exploration. Despite the fact that the supply of oil seems to be inexhaustible, there is constant need for the discovery of new sources of supply, and if the radio is essential to the work of locating and charting these sources the request of the operators should be granted at least in part. THE RIGHT START ‘The human race has developed through action. It has lived the greater part of its existence in the open— out in the fields and forests, along streams and on the sea. It cannot continue to develop unless these age-old activities, or their equivalent, are provided. Boys and girla must go through some hardening process. If the boys cannot follow their fathers in the chase, if the girls cannot work at home because their mothers buy meals at the delicatessen, there must be other activities to keep them from getting soft. Those alternative activities are being provided by the Boy Scouts, Camp Fire Girls, and similar organizations. The remarkable success which has attended the work of these movements largely offsets the prevailing dis- couragement in respect to the modern difficulties of bringing up children. They are not a substitute for parental control, family life and youngsters. Character building, citizenship training, outdoor organizations are intended to supplement and cooperate with parent, church and school. The several organizations in this field differ in detail. But fundamentally they are alike in implanting simple, natural and genuine values in the young at the time when boys and girls are apt to get ensnared in the complexities and false values of our latter-day life. The codes of conduct, the laws and regulations of these organizations are so ingrained in their members that the net result is a high type of training. NOT A CURE-ALL For their stability America’s industrial, commercial and financial structures depend in large part upon the proper allocation of capital between them. Any appre- ciable swing of capital away from one will seriously affect it, though it may benefit one or both of the others, Too great an allocation to the stock markets, or a Condition which passes the bounds of reasonable allo- cation, threatens the foundations of the industrial and commercial structures. It might produce a menacing situation. The world is well aware that in extreme instances speculation does grave injury to business by disturbing purchasing power. The Federal Reserve System was thought to have the power to exercise a reasonable control over the dis- tribution of money. It has been regarded as the anchor to hold the financial ship to solid ground and, hence, regarded as the assurance of funds, at reasonable in- terest, to carry on the gradual expansion of general business by which the people must live ‘and prosper. Existing conditions created by the unprecedented stock market raise the question whether the reserve system now fully achieves its purpose for existence. Practice is proving the fallibility of this pet of Wilson- ian Democrats, to whom it has assumed the proportions of a panacea for all business and financial ills. In spite of all its maker claims for it, no medicine is a cure-all. LIONEL LICORISH—HERO The stories that surviving passengers of the steamer | ° Vestris have told about the conduct of officers and crew of that ship have been rather ugly. There have been charges of inefficiency, stupidity and downright cowardice. But there is one sailor whom all unite in Praising—a West Indian negro with the incredible name of Lionel Licorish. Here’s what he did. Catapulted into the water, he swam to an empty drifting lifeboat. Then he swam off and picked up a couple of floating oars. Then he started saving lives. Between 15 and 20 times he jumped into the water to bring some drowning person to safety. He filled his boat and saw to it that every- one in it was rescued. Among the names of the heroes of the sea, we sug- gest that room be made for the name of this obscure; heroic negro—Lionel Licorish.

Both the Third avenue railway of this city and the Public Service corporation of New Jersey are conducting experiments which promise to lead to the elimination of at least a part of the daily and nightly uproar by quieting surface cars. According to Dr. E. E. Free, some 20 per cent of the noise which afflicts the residents of cities is made by surface cars; but even this figure does not give a true picture of their contribution to the city din. Their clanging and banging rise above the usual road of traf- fic by day, and by night shatter whatever temporary quiet may result from a lull in other noises. For those who live near the streets or avenues on which they run street cars are even worse than elevated trains or trucks. In New Jersey the experiments to eliminate the noise of surface cars have been so successful that cars fitted with the new devices are said to be 75 per cent noise- less. The first trolley so equipped has proved so popular that ten more are already being fitted out to carry on| / the good work, GOLF FOR THE PEOPLE (Utica Observer-Dispatch) : Democracies have a generous way of passing luxuries along to the plain people. The motor car, once a ritzy | B: symbol, is a common necessary today. Everybodv owns a talking machine, a radio, wears silk stockings and has access to pleasures once the possession of the select. Golf, perhaps, is a perfect symbol of this democratiza- tion. There are more than 200 public golf courses in some 150 Amercan cities, distributed in thirty-eight of the states. Last year nearly 6,000,000 rounds were played on these courses. The fees chargcd are modest and the links practically self-supporting. ne city made a profit of $130,000 from its three courses. Most cities have the aviation bug now, and well for them that they have. But an airport is no. so necessary in this day as . municipal golf course. Nor is the former more truly a community project than the latter. Golf has made amazing strides in recent years. It is now a more nearly universal game than any other American sport. All ages and both sexes play the game. The rich have their private courses. But the man of moderate means is pre-empting the game, and looking to the community to provide the play space. It is likely that a few years hence will find no city in the country without its public golf course. NOT ALTOGETHER BAD (Baltimore Sun) Times are now so hard in Serbian Macedonia, accord- ing to a story from Uskub, that men peasants who wish to marry are forced to buy their wives on the install- ment plan, The buying of wives is an ancient custom of the country, so that fact alone has no news value, but the adoption of the American expedient of gradual future payments is a novelty which may have its com- plications, As adopted by the Macedonians, the plan calls for a 25 per cent payment on engagement, 25 per cent on marriage and the remainder in easy installments. The account is silent on what measures the parents of the bride can take if the husband fails to keep up hi: ments. Are the transactions insured by a casualty company, or do they simply take the young woman back and keep the payments already made? Would they be able to market the goods again? Perhaps so, since there is an excess of men and wives are in great demand; but surely at some discount from the original price, for allowance would have to be made for wear and tear. Supposing the husband, once in possession, refused to pay further and the wife was so well satis- fied with her condition that she refused to go back to her folks, what redress would the parents have? The Macedonian plan appears a little odd and diffi- cult to Western eyes, but, after all, it has some ad- vantages. By the American system the man gets his wife free, but installment paying usually begins im- mediately after marriage and continues indefinitely. A SCIENTIST’S FAITH IN GOD (Philadelphia Bulletin) Perfect compatibility between the Christian system of refigion and the most advanced postulates of modern science has always been a cardinal point in the creed of Sir Oliver Lodge. He is regarded as probably the most eminent of British physicians and mathematicians. By his side stands Lord Balfour, a subtle meta- physician, who has divided the interests of his life between politics and philosophy. He, too, has no hesi- tation in accepting the Christian creed without reser- vation. A point of difference is that, while both are devoted members of the Society for Physical Research, Lord Balfour keeps. an oj mind on the evidence of the survival of personality after death, while Sir Oliver Lodge accepts the preter It is not surprising to own reverent belief in Go@ and spiritual immortality to the British Association for the Advancement of Science. Approval of his doctrines by many of these earnest explorers of the mysteries of nature is consistent with the principle expressed by Sir Oliver that the immensity of the possible discoveries of science makes what has really m acconiplished seem feeble by comparison. No poet ever stood more in awed admiration of the wonders of the universe as the-handiwork of-God than the it physicist who sees the astoundin; Itiplicity of plants and animals as evidence of Greator’s wonderful imagination. Humanity should not add to what Sir Oliver calls the blunders of its infancy by away the accumulated wisdom of the ages, which expresses itself in religion.

The Far Eastern policy has been the same for many years and is con- cerned with China and Japan. We want China to be strong, independent and friendly to us. We don’t want China divided into spheres of in- fluence by European nations. We want to nourish every opportunity for American trade expansion in ilarly our policy has been one of friendliness ‘toward Japan. The theory is that we have most to gain by that and much to lose in any strong alliance between Japan and itain. Japan has come to see that this is also her best bet, and mean- while has gone ahead with her pene- tration of Manchuria unhindered, The Panama Canal policy is_pri- marily one of national defense. That was the driving motive in the canal’s construction and that is our main concern in the Caribbean today. We demand order in Central American and Caribbean countries; we are de- termined to safeguard all approaches to the canal and we are thinking ser- iously of digging another canal through Nicaragua. These facts may not fully explain our last inter- vention in Nicaragua, but they were what actuated the government at the time. ee 6 It might also be said that there is a separate Mexican policy, but one so kaleidoscopic that it is hard to describe it. One day we get to worrying about Bolshevik _propa- ganda and oil and browbeat Mexico; next day we remember to worry about trade expansion and American loans and begin to snuggle up to her. Now and then we intervene for spe- cial reasons. The Villa expedition of 1916, for instance, served the double purpose of scaring the pro-German Mexican leaders and giving Pershing and other officers some practice for the World War. Today, however, a shift in our European policy and an intensifica- I Give You MY WASHINGTON 4 ain RL a Gm are occupying the attention of the world’s diplomats. We have virtual- ly turned our back on Europe and at the same time begun actually to shout our hymn of love for South America with confident assurance that she will tumble pell-mell into our arms. ee 8 Far and away the most important angle of our European policy is as to Great Britain. Franse enters into the picture only by virtue of her indebtedness to us and her recent alliance with England. It is Britain who has the only navy to match ours; Britain who is our main com- petitor for markets and raw ma- terials over the world. The history of our relations with her has been a series of great or minor clashes, always followed by periods of better feeling and under- standing. A few years ago it ap- peared that Britain and the United States were going to be united in- definitely in a silent bond of brother- hood; statesmen on both sides thought that was the best way out. Today we probably are further estranged from England than at any time since the Venezuelan boundary dispute, Announcement of Hoover’s South American trip, Coolidge’s hard-boiled Armistice day speech and the navy’s announcement of a policy of naval equality, coming one right after an- other, meant that we were saving our favors and friendly gestures for this hemisphere and that if the old world wanted any more it would have to come begging for them on our terms, ‘2 Our most important national in- terests, economic, military and polit- ical, have inspired all this. Main- tenance and expansion of American prosperity, which Hoover discussed so much in the presidential cam- paign, has become dependent on our export trade. The hope of our ex- port trade is in Latin America and Asia. The government has finally come to these conclusions simultan- eously: 1—There is no nourishment in sending American Joans to European industrial concerns and combinations tion of our Latin-American policy |to help them fight us for markets. w AH LADS,“ COME, COME / EGAD, A CHANCE “fo ATWESTY-FIVE POUND TURKEY | ~~ MERELY PICK YoUR FAVORITE NAME FoR A DAMSEL AND PUNCH IT OUT ON THIS BOARD, <THE PRICE RUNS FROM: ONE 2 1% FIFTY CENTS, wis IN “TH” OWL's AND WoRD IGH ONES ALL “THE nee iat : “TAKEN ? 2—As long as European govern- ments are unwilling to meet us half way on the disarmament issue, the wisest policy is to hold back loans | which would be used for their fur- ther armament and to build our naval armaments up to a poirit ap- proaching equality. It all boils down to a policy of promoting a vast sales campaign for friendship and trade where we are most likely to get them and re- fusing to cater any longe? to those who are disposed to give us neither. o—______-_______-» | IN NEW YORK | -————_——_—_——_—_——_—__—_—- New York, Nov. 27.—Manhattan’s latest motion picture emporium makes it possible for a patron to attend the movies and have an ex- ceptionally pleasant evening with- out having to sit through the pic- ture. | In view of a number of recent productions I have witnessed, this seems to me an idea that should be nationally adopted. Thus, at the new “Little Carnegie Theater,” if the picture displeases you, or if you’re not in the mood to look at the cinema, there are plenty jof other attractions. There is, for instance, a floor quite as big as any boasted by the night clubs, where the bored movie goers can dance until the last fade- out. There is a small but snappy orchestra to provide music during a portion of the evening, and there- after the guests can tune in on the radio or use a phonograph. Coffee and sandwiches are served—on the house—and a ping pong court is at one’s disposal. There are tables for bridge players and there are little corners with books for one to read. Just why one should go to the movies when surrounded by all the comforts of a club, I haven’t found out. There is, of course, the motion picture theater itself in the event that one goes to see the pictures. All of this, by the way, is made available fer the usual cinema price, eee One of those persistent data hounds informs me that more ban- jos and ukes are to be found in pawn shop windows than any other musical instrument. It seems to me I had noticed this myself, without giving it any special attention. Yet, seeking about for a reason it seems probable that the banjo tyro is likely to be the most “PROCEEDS GO TURKEY, WAS * HELPING “0 CATCH ONE “THAT GoT ouT THE DIET FOR NEURALGIA T have found that practically every case of neuralgia can be cured by dietetic measures alone, although there are a few cases which require manipulative or special treatments. The first thing to do in any case of neuralgia is to thoroughly empty the lower intestines by using at least two enemas daily for a week or ten days. During this time the toxins should be washed out of the system by using no food, but drinking from three to four gallons of water each day. Distilled water is preferable, and one should drink two glasses o! water every half hour. During this fasting period a relief from the pain may be had by the ap- plication of heat from hot water bottles, bags of hot salt, etc, or from a deep therapy lamp. Some- times counter-irritating plasters ap- plied over the sorest spot give im- mediate relief. The usual plasters are made from mustard, capsicum or Spanish fly. Massage of the sore nerves is not advisable as this usually only in- creases the pain. A general body massage over the parts that are not sore may be successful. Even though the pain may disap- pear shortly after beginning this fast, it is well to continue for a time so that you will have no recurrence of the trouble. After the water fast of one week, change to a milk diet. The best milk for this purpose is raw certified Holstein milk. -Use one large glassful every hour, start- ing at seven o'clock in the morning and finishing. at six o'clock at night. This will take three quarts of milk per day. After 10 days the amount can be gradually increased by taking a glassful every half hour during the morning, and a glassful every hour during the afternoon. In this way you can use from four to five quarts a day, and if you assimilate this quantity you should gradually increase the amount until you are able to take a glassful ever half hour during the entire day. In this way you will consume six quarts of milk daily. The milk diet should be continued for at least one month and at least one enema should be used daily, even though the bowels should begin to move naturally, Severe cases of neuralgia may require at least a month of the milk diet. In returning to a regular diet you must be very careful to employ only the right food combinations. In order to do this, you should make a thorough study of food chemistry so that you will know how to supply your body with all of the elements that it requires and avoid creating new toxins. This treatment may seem to be a little bit severe, but one who is suffering from neuralgia is happy-go-lucky of the ‘world’s children, Come to think of it, most saxo- phone blasters take their work very seriously and have definite ambitions to get into jazz bands or neighborhood disputes. Cornetists rarely toot for their own amuse- ment, but have a professional rea- son for making the night hideous with their practice.

T have a boy eight years old—seems to be always sick, no appetite, com- plains of a pain in the stomach after eating. At times his fingers will swell in 15 minutes to twice the nor- mal size. They will go down if I bathe them in hot water, Is this serious?” Your child may have Answer: some heart derangement which is producing the trouble with his cir- culation. His case certainly re- quires a diagnosis in order to find out his true condition, Home Brew Question: E. H. R. writes: “I would like to have you tell me what effect if any home brew has on a man 51 years old if he drinks from 7 to 10 gallons a week. I would like to know if it affects the kidneys in any way, as he is continually uri- nating—about every 30 minutes. He makes the beer himself.” Answer: I cannot too strongly condemn the use of any homemade beer. The brewing of beer is a science improved over centuries of exverimentation. If all the best rules were employed and the best apparatus used, it would still be a complicated and expensive method | to use in one’s home on a small scale. I have been able to’ trace cases of serious liver and kidney derange- ments to the use of home brew in, botht Canada and the United States® Well brewed beer can be purchased; the only difference is that in the United States the law requires the removal of the alcohol after the beer has been made, Puffs Under Eyes Question: Twenty writes: “I have puffs under my eyes. Can you tell ;me what they are from and the best way to get rid of them?” Answer: Your trouble is caused from some form of drapsy, which is either from heart trouble, or because your kidneys are not able to perform their normal functions. Only a proper diagnosis will tell you the truth about the cause of your trouble.
