DETROI1 Kresge Bidg (Official City, State and County Newspaper) CHICAGO THE PRINCE’S SERVICE ‘The Prince of Wales has never served his nation better than by his recent tour of inspection of the British mjn- ing areas. It makes a weird, fascinating picture, this tale of the prince investigating poverty. There is the boyish, slender heir to the throne, lonely and ill, stalking down muddy streets between tumble-down shacks while underfed, ‘ hopeless people stand in doorways to see what message + the next king of England has for the depths of woe. The + trip is making all of England see the picture, focusing % attention on an accumulation of misery that had gone | {tbo long unheeded. 3 ‘There is not a great deal of hope for many of these { British miners. There are whole villages where no one = has worked for months; where every inhabitant lives on + the government dole, dependent on charity for every bite © of food and every rag of clothing; where mines have been “* shut down so long that weeds have grown on the slag- | = heaps by the pit heads; where houses have been aban- | = doned, never to be reoccupied again. All of this has been true for quite a while, and England 3 has known about it in a hazy sort of way; but it took the u t n 8) Perity and material progress. But, insamuch as they will get out of this year in proportion to what they put into it, it may be well to give another parting glance over the shoulder at 1928. Though dead and gone, the other years have a way of inculcating new courage and optimism, or their opposites. this respect? of a little less than 9 per cent.

It is quite possible that we are advancing too fast at the top and too slowly at the bottom. To be sure, that is the way the human race has always made its progress. But it so happens that modern conditions have made it supremely important that that system be altered. In the old days society could put up with a great deal of submerged darkness. It didn’t matter how ignorant the bulk of the people were, because the bulk of the People didn’t count for anything. They had no voice in the conduct of affairs, and the tasks they had to do | could be done just as well in darkness as in light. But we have changed all that. First we established democratic government, under which the most down- trodden, benighted citizen has as much to say about his nation’s course of action as the ‘highest. Then our scientists began to invent a great varicty of new tools which completely revolutionized every-day life. Ignor- ance and superstition are not to be tolerated anywhere in a world of automobiles, radio, television and large- scale industrialism. They are altogether too dangerous. The universal education which our forefathers in- sisted on establishing in this country is probably the most important institution we have. It is the imple- ment with which we must dispel these black shadows that dot our countryside. If we fail to do it we shall run into a fearful mess. To paraphrase Lincoln's famous remark, the nation cannot exist half ignorant and half enlightened.

This, of course, does not touch us very closely on this Bide of the Atlantic. But the underlying principle is ‘worth looking at, whether you live in England or Colo- tado. England is not the only country that has had festering sores but refused to look at them. The ostrich habit of burying the head in the sand and ignoring all unpleasant sights is as common in the New World as in the Old. In the United States, for instance, there are plenty of things that would shock us unutterably if we would look at them steadily. Our own coal miners, as it happens, have troubles of their own. In Pennsylvania there are mining towns where conditions are nearly as bad as they are in Eng- Never bribe a child for being good.; Herbert Root arrived from Valley “Be good, Johnny, and I'll give you ; City for a short stay in the city. x Can = rbieer en deneced crs F.

Married women, complains and analyzes Mrs. May Sutton Bundy, famous tennis player, have little chance competing against girls free from marital responsibilities. “The single girl has practically nothing to do aside from taking the rough edges off her game,” she says. “Her clothes are all ready for her, Her mother sees to that as well as to the million other little details that come up in the course of a day.” *x* ek * : THE OTHER SIDE To which the single girl tennis Player will drone a sarcastic “Is ZAT so?” reminding the married lady of her own trials and tribulations.

The some clear cut notion of what he means, a child hasn't. His idea of “being good” is as nebulous as the moon on a foggy night. It might mean, “don’t waken the baby,” “don't sneak a penny out of your bank,” “don’t ask questions when I’m busy,” “don’t do this, that.” Johnny) isn’t going to take himself to task and de- liberate over what it means. He'll promise—certainly—in order to get the nickel, and he pasn’t the slightest idea of what it's all about. Idea Is All Wrong But suppose you say, “Don’t waken the baby and I'll give you a nickel.” There Johnny has a definite idea, of course. He at least knows what he’s being paid for. Even so, the idea is all wrong. If you begin to pay a child for something that he should do anyway sctereoaatts RAISING THE MARRIAGE AGE This year the state legislatures as a whole seem to be Concerning themselves more with the institution of mar- riage than with its handmaiden, the institution of di- vorce. Perhaps lawmakers have b2come convinced after years of bungling that they cannot make marriage sacred by passing divorce laws, Even the most uncompromising opponents of divorce now concede that if there is a cure for marriage and divorce problems it is by making mar- riage, rather than divorce, more inaccessible. The legislatures are on the right track when they Ponder the advisability of discouraging the union of the very young. Civilization seems to demand that the wedded-be mature mentally as well as physically. Child marriages once were considered to have about an even chance of turning out satisfactorily, but that was before economic conditions rendered them an extremely but, of course, some foods are richer in one element, and others are richer in cae Lrg Each element plays some special Part in the growth or function of the body, some build into hair, some nerves, some bone, and some are used to produce energy.
