Logan Payne Co. CHICAGO NEW YORE BOSTON ——<—<$ — $$ The Sleep of Peace { Bismarck, North Dakota and the nation pause today to honor their dead. To cemeteries on hillsides, in valley and on plain, the heart of a nation turns in grateful remembrance to those who have perished in humanity's onward march. Flower- bedecked graves testify that love still lives and is i] dominant force in the hearts of those who remain to/ carry on. No other holiday the nation observes has quite the| same quality of hushed veneration as has come to be associated with Memorial Day. It is our only holiday of the springtime and it is fitting that, just as. nature has begun to bloom and to bring growing things to new fruition, we should stop and pay tribute to the past. Essentially, of course, the holiday has a military sig- nificance, having been set aside, following the Civil) ‘War, as a time in which to honor those who had died in) defense of their country or those who, having survived! the rigors of conflict, had died later. It is fitting and) just that those who remain may take pause to think) by what means and at what sacrifice they are permitted to live in a land which enjoys the blessings peculiar to) those the United States can count.

A Federal Deficit Secretary Mellon's insistence that the government must continue to meet its sinking fund requirements as in the past in spite of the pending deficit in the federal So, too, is his remark that the federal tax structure is “out of balance’—a Temark that probably paves the way for an increase in the income tax. The administration now is planning economies for next 000. If it can put this program through, and can there- by avoid a tax increase, well and good; if not, no fear of political consequences should delay an increase in taxes if that becomes necessary to avoid a deficit. Meanwhile, it is worth bearing in mind that econo- mists generally agree that income tax rates in the higher brackets could be increased materially without working any hardship on any one. It is the taxpayer in the lower brackets who has suffered the most from the depression; if an increase is in order, his taxes should be the last to be raised. Heroism in the Air Every additional accident on the “hell stretch” of the transcontinental air mail line—the section that crosses the Alleghenies, between Cleveland and New York— merely emphasizes anew the great technical skill and the; magnificent devotion to duty that are displayed by the} young aviators who fly over that route. The death of J. D. Cleveland, who crashed near Bel-/ lefonte, Pa., the other day, is the twelfth to occur on; that run. It is probably the most dangerous aviation route in the country, and bad weather can make it one of the worst on earth. But the air mail goes over the Alleghenies regularly, twice a day each way, in spite of snow, sleet, fog, wind and rain. The weather has to be more than usually; bad to keep the planes on the ground; it has to be super- latively atrocious to cause an accident, | A Little Bit Silly | Not long ago Miss Mary Anderson, chief of the women's | bureau of the U.

Those who remain to carry on the fight which has claimed the lives of many brave men and true, marshal themselves in proud phalanx in tes- timony of that fact. The taps which will sound over soldier graves are symbolic of the affection which the nation bears for those who Rave defended it and of the ultimate end which comes to everyone. A larger and less pretentious procession wends its way this day, to the cemeteries, guided only by love and memory of non-military dead. Graves too small to hold the mortal remains of one old enough to have served his country in battle will receive loving care and attention. Many an eye will) fill with tears before the little mound that marks the final resting place of a loved child. Other and younger eyes will lose that look of hard cynicism which a modern world gives as it gazes upon the grave of a loving parent or friend. Throughout the year in this busy land we look con- stantly toward the future. For those in distress tomor- row always hold out promise of better times. For the successful it beckons to new achievements. In its es- sence, each new day is a thing apart and the urge 1s) evet forward. | But today we look backward. Our selfishness has @ tendency to vanish. We think of other things, other men, other times. The heroism, the patriotism, the hard work, the devotion to duty which has made America} great, stand out in bas-relief against our past. | We bow our heads and hope for each resident of the) silent cities of the dead that an all-wise Providence will) grant him the privilege of sleeping the sleep of peace. A Prohibition Paradise Dr. Paul M. Pearson, newly appointed governor of the| ‘Virgin Islands, is hopeful of making that lovely though | Jonely spot in the Caribbean a popular resort for both} winter and summer tourists. | Interviewers, recalling the fact that the former pros- perity of the Islands was based on rum manufacture and that conditions there have been none too good since the United States adopted prohibition, inquired if 1t! could be done without offering liquor as a magnet to draw tourists. Mr. Pearson's answer discloses that he takes the pro- hibition law seriously, regardless of how much company he may or may not have. He said: “So far as prohibition is concerned, this coun- 1 try is DRY. The people are DRY. There are thousands of persons who prefer going to re- sorts where they know they will see no drink- ing.” “I am confident that there are enough Drys to furnish us more than four times as many tour- ists as we need. Make no mistake. This is a Dry country. The big cities are Wet, most news- papers are Wet—the men who work on them are and always have been—but the country is not.” From this it seems clear that Mr. Pearson hopes eventually to make the Virgin Islands a delightfully arid spot peculiarily pleasant for those who care little for, modern whoopee. Because it is unique it may suc- ceed, for the average observer can hardly feel that per- sons of strictly dry persuasion can feel at home at the average tourist resort in America. In some tourist hotels, if we are to believe the tales of some travelers, one has to hide behind the pillars in the lobby to keep the bootleggers from jamming a quart of Scotch into one’s pocket. But regardless of whether Governor Pearson is right or wrong about the benefits of prohibition as an attrac- tion to tourists, he may succeed with his venture, for the Virgin Islands have a delightful climate, especiaally in winter. The temperature there usually ranges between Ja mud puddle. jon clear nights, is the great galaxy that can be seen with ference severely alonc. t Apparently we have been saved from making a dread-| ful and costly mistake. Heaven knows what might hap- pen if we had an official representative at a league con- ference. But doesn’t the whole thing look a trifle silly? center e How times change!

MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the Americat Medical Association, and of Hygela, the Health Magazine From time to time various devices for electrical vibration to be used in lteu of exercises have been widely ad- vertised and sold to the public. No doubt, these devices have value for contributing passive motion to muscles that are little used. The average person today has 2 motor car and does very little walking. None of the vibrating devices will reduce weight unless their use is accom- panied by a strict diet and similar measures. Recently medical literature . has contained reports of several instances in which persons with ulcers of the stomach or of the intestines have vibrated themselves so vigorously as to bring about perforation of intes- tinal ulcer with subsequent’ shock suffering from irritation of the in- testinal tract should avoid the use of such vigorous agitation as is produced by the various vibrating machines. A report has now become available of the case of an elderly man who thought to massage his.scalp by the Daily Health Service Use Caution in Exercising With Electrical Vibration Device use of one of the vibrating devices. During the course of vibration he suddenly ceased to see and a special- ist in ophthalmology made a diag- nosis of detachment of the retina, which is likely to lead to permanent blindness. The retina is the tissue at the back of the eye composed largely of nerve cells which conveys the sense of things seen to the brain. Obviously, it is highly undesirable for anyone with hardened arteries that have lost their elasticity or with tissues that do not have the resiliency of youth to submit himself to such agitation as is brought about by the shaking device. Exercise after middle age must be moderate. Golf and walking are ideal exercises for persons of ad- vanced years. Modern tennis, hand ball, and even speedy or long distance swimming may be considered as for- bidden to the man beyond 40 years of age. ‘When the tissues are young, elastic ‘and possess reparative and recuper- ative properties, they may be sub- mitted to such violence as is associ- ated with football, baseball, modern tennis and similar sports. Those of advanced years must confine their exercise to the more gentle forms. similarly informed, the Coney Island officials began to wonder if they were seeing double when they beheld two heads on Carloita. Could it be pos- sible that they did it with mirrors? At any rate, so early in the season the barkers and showmen sigh and ask what will happen if the public no longer can stand a little illusion. They shudder at the prospect of ap- plying a literal world to the side- show business. However, the case of Carlotta may! bring an end to the “blowoff,” which is the very life-blood of the side- show business. A “blowoff,” in carnival vernacular, is that extra-extra at- traction for which an extra dime is charged and you are invited to “step right behind this curtain and see the wonder of wonders!” GILBERT SWAN. ———$—________________« In times of prohibition an alert man is one who never allows himself to be caught nipping. ** * Now that women are wearing pa- jamas outdoors, watch for less posmg ‘and more aczing. xk * In the Elysian fields, we under- stand, folks greet each other with a cheery “halo.” xk * Fathers who think they are making @ sacrifice to keep sons at college nev- er consider the price our dumb ani- _ great telescopes have penetrated 200,000,000 light years— that is the distance light, the swiftest traveler we know} of, will go through space in that great number of years,) the astronomers see no end to creation.

Y, World-Telegram) The people of the United States have lost much more than the fellowship of two worthy persons by the United States Supreme Court's decision barring Prefossor Doug- las C. MacIntosh, of Yale Divinity School, and Marie Averill Bland, war nurse, from citizenship, The extent of the loss will not be apparent at once. But it is already apparent that five members of the court, over the protest of the other four, have given a decision which opens the way for executive usurpation of legislature power, and which, in effect, imposes a re- test as a qualification for citizenship. Dr. MacIntosh and Miss Bland refused to promise un- qualifiedly to bear arms for this country in time of war. ‘Their religion forbade. ‘They have been barred from citizenship, not by a re- quirement of the naturalization law, but by an interpre- tation written in by the Department of Labor and sus- ground. “Departmental zeal may not be allowed to outrun the authority conferred by statute,” said Mr. Hughes in his dissent, with which James Holmes, Brandeis and Stone concurred. “That the general words (of the law) have not been as a to bear arms notwith- conscientious scruples, or as requir- one to promise to put temporal power above what is sincerely believed to be one’s duty to God, is apparent, I think, from a consideration to their histories. . . .

On May 30, 1927, the Prince of Udine, cousin of the King of Italy, made an address in the United States Senate on behalf of the Italian Dip- lomatic Commission which he led to: this country. He said in part: “Italy entered the war with aims equal to those which you pursue. Her territory had not been invaded, her insecure boundaries had not been vi- olated. Our people understood that the sacrifice of free nations was the prelude to our own sacrifice, and that we could not remain indifferent without denying the very reasons of our existence. “Italy has not been and will never be an element of discord in Europe, and as she willed her own free na- tional existence at the cost of any sacrifice, so she will contribute will all her strength to the free exist- ence and development of other na- tions. “The mission of which I have the honor to be the head and in which there are representatives of the Sen- ate of the kingdom, of the Cham- ber of Deputies, and members of the government, desires to express through me the liveliest sympathy to the representatives of the American people.” Quotations i It's an awful thing to get to be a rubber stamp.—Maxfield Parrish, ve- teran magazine cover illustrator. ** * No native people has ever been better treated by the invader and his dominating civilization than has the American Indian by the government of the United States—Secretary of Interior Wilbur.
