Logan Payne Co. CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON In Sanity Lies Safety Life has always been the most precious gift in the world. Throughout the ages men have gone on quests as far-flung as the boundaries of civilization would per- mit in an untiring effort to find the chalice that would bring a healing balm for life's physical calamities. Men today have achieved greater wisdom in their quest for the supreme boon, They have learned that if life| would be prolonged it must first of all be safeguarded and protected. Therefore it is with something of a shock that we must realize that there were 97,000 deaths due to accidents in America last year, 2000 more than in 1928. Accidents in homes took an additional 23,000 lives. It is undoubtedly true that a large percentage of this waste of life might have been counteracted if sufficient safety and precaution’ had been taken. Unneccssary risks are responsible for too many deaths. Life presents enough risks to everyone without includ- ing unnecessary hazards. A life laid down in the promo- tion of seme principle or service to mankind is not ac- cidentally lost, but one that is sacrificed carelessly has no virtue to redeem the needless waste. The coming of the Independence Day celebrations make it timely that people should consider this problem. That safcty propaganda and education are accomplish- ing worthwhile results is evidenced in the decreasing mortality rete which surrounds the Fourth of July. Twenty years ago or more thousands of families were left in an aftermath of sorrow, when the flaring lights of the celebration died away. The number is diminish- ing every year but there are still a large number of deaths that could be avoided. Accidents which cripple the body, although they do not destroy life, are another problem of the celebration which goes with the revival of the spirit of 76. Unless one is strong and able-bodied life cannot be lived to the full- est. Children will insist on handling dangerous fireworks of course. They always Rave. They will light firecrack- ers back of the barns and in alleys. There will be calam- ities—unless an older, wiser generation is able to throw a ring of caution and prevention around the powder explosives. Every child has a right to keep his body strong and free and perfect in order that his days may be long upon the earth, even as they were mcant to be at the béginning of time. Railways in Economy Conservation Railroads have come to institute an economy important to themselves but with a recommendation all its own as @ better reason, for it is the recommendation of conser- vation. They are making use of their used material which heretofore has been wasted by casting it aside or even by destroying it, as old ties used to be burned to get them off the right of way. The roads have learned that this wasteful American Practice is a species of inefficiency, while the economy of saving the thousand and one things that go adrift from their proper places or become unserviceable through wear, a European practice, is efficiency. So, wherever it is possible to.reclaim anything, the roads are doing 60 and putting it to some other use, even if only as scrap iron or firewood. Some, too, is saved by repair and put into renewed use. At the recent convention of the American Railway as- tociation in Atlantic City this matter came up in a re- Port of the committee on recovery, repairs and reclama- tion of the purchases and stores division. “We are being constantly urged,” said the committee in its report, “by our executive officers and by the offi- cers of this essociation, to assist in the reduction of oper- ating expenses on our railroads. This committee has given the subject of reclamation and recovery of mate- rial careful study, as it is one of the important ways in which each railroad may reduce its purchases and oper- ating expenses. We hope that by the study of this re- Port, each railroad will be able to find something in it that it can.adopt and which will aid in the more econom- ical and efficient operation of the railroads of this country.” The committee submitted a list of nearly 300 ways in which old rails, locomotive parts, tools of different kinds, car wheels, springs, bolts and hundreds of other articles which have worn out their original usefulness, can be re- claimed and again placed into service. In addition, methods have also been devised for the reclaiming of oil, packing and waste at moderate cost. On many of the roads, the reclamation of material is # highly organized industry in charge of a general reclamation committee which, together with divisional committees, watches every opportunity to bring about savings through the reclaiming of materials. The idea adopted by the railroads is sound. It should find a wider exercise. Look at the tremendous waste of iron and’ steel articles from mere nails upon the public highways when they are lost or dropped there. From that moment many useful things become so many negll- Gibles, to be tossed heedlessly aside as no longer of use. Old box lumber is often wasted when it is perfectly adaptable to practical uses. The roads are teaching that this sort of waste is wrong and the lesson is salutary. Wings for Our Souls America has weloomed home another hero. Or rather, for the third time, she has greeted the same son as he game back from the dangers and loneliness of far-flung ‘worlds which are only adventurous names, wrapped in ® glamour of romance, to most of us. * +The crowds cheered, the confetti made spangled rain- ‘dws in the air, the flags rippled proudly and the bands played. conquering marches, 2s the Antarctic ships bear- “ing Admiral Byrd and his party steamed into the home- Jand harbor. . Most of us see only the spectacular side of the event. ‘We wish rather dimly that we, too, hed conquertd the Gouth Fole. What we do not visualize is the siege of « a loneliness in an icebound land, as one year slipped into another, and “hunger and danger crept closer and closer. In the day of triumphal entry the sacrifices are forgot- ten. . It is well that not everyone has an opportunity to charter a ship and attempt a crusade. The sea would but the pursuit of glamour. The harbors would be crowded with vessels that came drifting back as the scas grew rough. We can't all be heroes, But it is very fine and for- tunate that there are pioneers possessed of a splendid bravery and intelligence that make them unafraid to 00 | tackle uncharted sealanes and cloud-blown sky paths, because they have a vision that is far-flung and glorious. Such men give wings to our souls. They make us stretch our lazy minds until they catch something of the spirit of the wind-swept distances. They blow the cobwebs out of our hearts and bring back the old belief in crusades and grails and knights in steel blue armor. We, as Americans, are grateful for our heroes. They make us sing again, and dream a little as we work. In @ world that is so apt to'be monotonous they restore our belief in adventure tales. Hyde Urges Abandoning Land Millions of acres of farm land in the United States should be abandoned at once by farmers, both for their own benefit and for the benefit of agriculture in general, according to Secretary of Agriculture Arthur M. Hyde. ‘The land, Secretary Hyde declares, is a detriment to the country, and should, preferably be forested. If not, it should be allowed to lie fallow until the soil has built itself up. $ “There are millions of acres of lands in the United States,” says the sccretary, in an article in the July num- ber of The Country Home, “which, because of location, soil exhaustion or natural infertility, cannot be made to | produce a living equal to the American standard. These | are known as sub-marginal lands, From the standpoint of national agricultural efficiency, they ought not to be | | farmed. They tend to lower the standard of living and educational standards of the farmer who tills them. They should be taken out of production, reforested and held until some coming generation needs them. “To farm these now returns no profit to the farmer ‘ut serves in the aggregate to increase the surplus and depress prices, whereas they might be valuable to fu- ture generations if properly preserved. “The majority of present day farms are falling short of meeting their own needs from forests—fence posts, fuel and such products. In 1924, American farms spent an average of $138.53 cach for forest products.” Secretary Hyde adds that the temporary abandonment of unprofitable land is the only way open to reforesta- tion, which, in turn, is the only cure for eroded soil that does not make its owner or tenant a living. Editorial Comment A Commencement Address (Kansas City Star) Members of the Graduating Class: You have an im- mense asset which you do not yet realize; you have youth, enthusiasm. Many of us older people really ought to be killed. We know too much. Hard experience in this irrational world has demonstrated to us so many things that can’t be done. This experience paralyzes our effort. There came a time in the World war when the veteran troops of France and Britain knew too much. They knew the German line could not be broken. Then came a flood of inexperienced, raw soldiers from America. They didn’t know much about the art of war. But they knew one thing. They knew they could break the German line. With the reenforcement of their fresh enthusiasm the Allies united in a tremendous assault and the un- breakable German line went down. ‘Young men.and women of the graduating.class,-you are the fresh troops. You can succeed in accomplishing things from which we older persons, battered by the blows of life, shrink back. troops -pour into the armies that must carry forward the flag. A great responsibility. An immense op- portunity. . Ye fill up the gaps in our files, Strengthen the wavering line, Stablish, continue our march On, to the bound of the waste, On, to the City of God! On the Installment Plan Cannon, Jr., was given to the press. by the publication of certain stock transactions of his with the firm of Kable é& Co. That publication was cal- culated to leave in unregenerate minds the impression that the bishop was doing a considerable business in the buying and selling of stocks on the strength of a cash bishop's statement was a telegram dated Richmond, Oct, 28, 1928. It was an answer to Senator Carter Glass, affidavits had just been put in his hands relating to al- leged “stock gambling by you on margin with the late bucket shop firm of Kable & Co., New York City, cover- ing a considerable period and to the extent of several hundred thousand dollars.” Should Mr. Glass deny the bishop's participation in any such transactions? The essential part of the bishop's reply is: 1 have bought and sold stocks and bonds and other kinds of property for many years, but in such transactions, so far as I knew and believed, with only reputable brokers and not with bucket shops, which I understood had been banned by law years before for the protection of the public. ‘The bishop was deceived. He had been dealing with a bucket shop. The bishop was mistaken as to his habit, at least between Sept. 17, 1927, and May, 1928, of making full or partial payments on the stocks in which’ he “invested.” The theory that he was buying on the in- stellment plan and for investment he had sedulously cultivated. His correspondence with Kable & Co. yes- terday printed by the senate lobby committee shows once more that plan in action. We see the bishop, even when absent on pious tasks, at sea, on land, in Brazil, buying, selling, inquiring, scurrying hard to freshen his margin. “Sell Lehigh 110. Rebuy good reaction. Op- tion 2,000 Motors expiring Thursday.” “Expected But- terick, Texas, Porto Rico, Westinghouse all gain 10 points promptly, but none realized yet.” At Bahia, Sao Paulo, Rio Janeiro, on the steamer, the bishop is busy about his installment plan. i Yet on his native soil he had not been and was not to be less busy. At Richmond, Dec. 10, 1927, he has managed “after a hard struggle to send $400.” ight days earlier his brokers on the partial payment plan | had asked him to send $2,000. Feb. 15, 1928, he has “no | money in sight now until “March 1, when salary check | for $2,000 will come in.” And so on. A letter written on the sacred paper of the Anti-Saloon League of Vir- ginia is of especial interest, not only on ths: account, but because it shows the conservative nature of the bishop's part-payment plan: “If I had been free when Texas went down to 21, I would not have hesitated to have bought 1,000 and sold it at 23 or 33 1-2 and bought it back again if conditions indicated. I was dis- gusted to see today that Continental Baking A had tumbled down one-third. Continental Bak- eB. of which I got 700 shares, has gone down No new light is thrown on the bishop's installment plan by the correspondence. His adventures in the bucket shop were sufficiently illuminated last year. The bucket shop’s books showed, among other details of the part-payment plan, that on April 10, 1938, the bishop sold $75,000 worth of stock and bought $58,000 worth. These and other pleasing details were brought out late in June, 1929. In May of this year the Methodist ‘board of bishops gave absolution to the bishop after he had con- fessed to “speculation,” conviction of his error or sin in defending his stock transactions as conducted on the Partial-payment plan having apparently been borne in upon him. He is a good man, pursued by ‘7icked e! mies. His transactions have been forgiven, if not al salutely blest.

Custer, in an engagement against the Dakota Indians known as the Battle of Little Big Horn. Custer, an intrepid leader in the Civil War, had been sent in advance of the main body of United States troops in pursuit of Sitting Bull and his band. In the belief that he was attacking only a part of the Indian force, Custer attacked the Indian cen- ter, and instead of encountering 1,000 Indians, he found himself against 5,000. Surrounded and driven back, Cus- ter’s men fought desperately until every man had perished. The en- gagement lasted perhaps not more than 20 minutes. One Indian scout attached to the force is said to have escaped. The field is now marked by marble monuments, each where a man fell. | ‘The campaign against the Indians! was started BEGIN HERE TODAY NATALIE CONVERSE, fealous of ber hasband's friendship BERNADINE LAMONT, teas is NOW Go ON WITH THE sTORY CHAPTER <UL A‘ telephoned for Phillipa and Dut her in charge of Bernadine’s i home.
