It fe then that men and women, their youth definitely behind them, gometimes begin an effort to recapture it—frequently with unforseen results. But when it comes to traffic accidents the dangerous age fs between 20 and 25. This has been ascertained by a study of highway mortality made by the safety committee of the Par- ents’ and Teachers’ congress. A graph recently issued by that organization shows that the mortality rate is rather low between birth and the age of i. five years. ‘Then it jumps sharply upward to a little over two per 1,000 bf population. Between 10 and 15 years is the safest age for all from a traffic standpoint. That is the age where repeated cautions to be careful have had a chance to take effect and where the individual is not yet tempted to hop into an auto- mobile and “open it up.” The 15 to 20 range shows the mortality rate moving sharp- jy upward again to a point slightly higher than the 5 to 10 period. This, in turn is followed by the 20 to 25 range in which the mortality is about 2.75 per 1,000 population. Successively then the mortality rate drops until the age of BS years is reached, after which it rises a little until the 55) sucn to 65 age range is reached. The death rate for persons between 65 and 75 years old is only slightly higher than for the 10 to 15 division. In view of these figures it is relatively easy to trace the de- velopment in the case of the average individual. The infant rate is low because parents give small children more attention. As they reach school age, however, they are left more to themselves and safety instruction has not yet had a chance to take hold in their minds. Between 10 and 15 years of age they have had a chance to observe and to learn and *: @iution as PEDESTRIANS. has grown. =~ Between 15 and 20 they begin to.figure in accidents as DRIVERS of automobiles, and this trend is increased between the ages of 20 and 25. Between 25 and 30 they begin to acquire a sense of caution as DRIVERS and this continues probably as long as they use an automoblie. But after 35 their physical reactions begin to slow up. They don’t see as well nor react as quickly and the grim reaper begins to catch up with them again. At 55, probably, they begin to realize that they aren’t as young as they once were and take it a little easier, with an at- tendant reduction in the death rate. This continues as long as they live thereafter. It is all entirely human. The shame of it is that so many thousands have to die to give those who remain an education. b Proof of Kinship The most Pollyannaistic observer must admit that there are things about the human race which cause concern to the high-minded. There is so much greed, heartlessness and cruel indifference in evidence nearly everywhere that we have cause fo wonder about man’s true destiny. But every so. often something develops to prove that man, while he may hold communion with the Devil, may also be kin fo the angels; proof that the fatherhood of God and the broth- erhood of man can be real facts and not merely phrases which please the ear. Such proof is offered by those men in Nova Scotia who fought a soul-searing battle to save the lives of two fellowmen. Heart-breaking toll was theirs. A challenge was issued by cir- cumstance and they accepted it. They labored as no man ever worked for mere money. They had dedicated themselves to a fause and they risked their own lives that they might live up to their ideals. 5 Something inside those men echoed the words “Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friend” and they responded to it as other men have done from time immemorial. Things like this make us proud of the hu- man race, convince us that there really is a bond between man and the Infinite, ; Intentions to Plant Even as North Dakotans demand more seed loans from the government that some 10,000 farmers may have suitable wheat for planting, the government issues statistics showing one of the reasons for its reluctance to enter further into this sort of business. , They are the figures listing intentions to plant as voiced by farmers before the seeding season began and disclosed that, if the intentions are carried out, the area seeded to spring wheat will be about 8,000,000 acres above the average for the last five years. Since one of the troubles has been over-production and the government now has no direct means of curbing that evil the situation becomes plain. In effect Uncle Sam is asked to loan money to farmers 80 they can plant more wheat, so they can add to the production, which will lower prices and result in a demand that the govern- ment “do something” about it. On that basis the government attitude of refusing to help fs easily explained and it becomes rather obvious that appeals for help are likely to go unheeded. In the Eskimo language, “I love you” is “Onivfgssaerntuinalfinajuan- jak.” This explains why the arctic nights have to be so long.— : ae & si ae Yat me ee oe oe re .| clare for “beer for revenue.” Behind the Scenes Washington Congressmen ‘Tenants’ of Lobbyist Vote No’ on Plea for Senate Probe Funds .. . Landon Beset by Wet and Dry Clash ... Roosevelt’s Bal- timore Speech Draws Criticism ... Erosion Expert Finds Erosion at Home. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) ‘Washington, April 24.—The house's adverse vote on a request for added counsel fees for the senate lobby com- mittee had some interesting angles. Not long ago the committee dis- closed that six congressmen, led by Representative Sam Pettengill of In- diana, had lived at the home of a railroad-public utility lobbyist for awhile last summer. ‘These men and their friends rep- resented enough strength to be re- sponsible for the margin in a 153-157 vote by which the house defeated Sen- ator Black's request for $10,000 for defense against court action by Wil- Mam Randolph Hearst. Pettengill, Clark of Idaho, Scrugham of Nevada, and Sutphin of New Jer- sey voted “no.” The other two “ten- ante,” Cary of Kentucky and Feisinger cama ioe of Ohio, didn’t vote. The California “Hearst bloc” was also important. Of the 20 California congressmen, only Buck, Costello, Col- den, and Scott voted favorably. And only two Republicans—Mar- cantonio of New York and Stefan of Nebraska—voted to uphold the Black committee. Those were the chief factors be- hind a unique spectacle which found the house defeating a resolution * # & Snag in Landon’s Path Governor Landon of Kansas plans to take one of his first political hurdles with a running jump.

Speech Rated ‘Bloomer’ Reports from Baltimore indicate that the reaction to Roosevelt's cam- paign-opening speech there was even More sour than the thin applause seemed to indicate—at least, among old-line: Deriioctatic politicians, It is objected that the speech was too idealistic, philosophical, and in- spirational—“hooey” is the word the ward bosses use—and that Roosevelt made an almost unforgivable error when he failed to pay tribute to or even mention the late-ex-Governor Ritchie, a New Deal foe. Conservative resentment at young Democrats who staged the party, and who were suspected of earlier inten- tions to upset the Ritchie machine, also figured.

Now all this make- believe and repression of normal impulses “takes it out” of anybody. Not nerve energy ... The harm is done rather in the racking of vital machinery by the release of excess energy (adrenin poured into the blood by the adrenal glands in response to the emotions! - > stimulus, and mobilization of the blood sugar, muscle and heart fuel A i for immediate use). If the impulse to action or motion were not restrained, this suddenly released energy would be absorbed or bal- anced by fighting, running away, playing. ‘The excessive user of tobacco aggravates the insult by cigarette in time of stress, which eriables him to restrain or ‘impulse to action or motion. It is a bad substitute for fighting, away or playing, for it doesn’t abeorb any of the energy released emotion. This is the way excessive use of tobacco becomes a factor of high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular degeneration of mid- dle life, in my opinion. Speaking of education, culture, good breeding, it is unfortunate for the make an individual restrain his emotions, conceal his true feelings, even express or try to express the very contrary to what he feels. This is a strain on the arteries.

J If you are training for tobaccosis I suggest that you try taking a brisk walk around the block, or doing a few fancy dance steps, or rolling a few somersaults, or going through some snappy calisthenic exercises instead of smoking, in a moment of anxiety or emotional excitement of any kind.

THE LEAGUE LOSES TO ITALY (Chicago Tribune) Several causes of the league's fail- to|ure in Africa are close to the surface. The principal nations in the council did not have a common purpose. It was apparent all the time that the attempt to control Italy was illogical and even fantastic in French opin- ion. The doctrine that a colonizing nation can’t take what it can get was a strange one on the French tongue. The French themselves were disciplining the Syrian’ much of the time the Italians were pushing into Ethiopia, It wouldn’t escape ironical French observation that Great Brit- ain was suppressing nationalistic sentiment in Egypt at the same time. All the earnestness Mr. Eden could bring to bear on the problem could not dispel the incongruities. If Ethiopia were to be protected against Italy, what was China’s claim to league support against Japan? The league had been in that trouble once before, getting out of it with great haste but little dignity. Mr. Eden may have sincerely believed that the peace of Europe depended upon prov- ing that in one major instance collec- tive action could be successful in restraining a powerful aggressor. If the aggressor had to submit to the will of peace seeking nations in one instance, there would be confidence that if another trouble arose it could be dealt with in the same fashion. At no time, however, was it clear to skeptics, whatever Mr. Eden’s sen- timents were, that a distinct British interest in the Nile headwaters did not account for the doggedness with which the British threw themselves in the Italians’ way. That interest would explain why Great Britain could take’ a conciliatory position with regard to other treaty and cov- enant violations and still maintain a front against Italy with so much vigor. To France the reoccupation of !its pretenses far outran any possibil- the Rhine was formidable and the conquest of Ethiopia was not. Smaller nations had an honest fear of aggression, and if the bigger na- tions could have made the covenant apply to Italy they might have been very glad to work out a scheme of security along that line. If the sanc- tions hurt Italy, they did not do enough damage to keep General Badoglio from conducting successful campaigns. Italy may be financially damaged. It may have a difficult time even with victory, but the sanc- tions could not be applied as ef- fective embargoes and the disciplin- ing nations were unwilling to go to extreme lengths. All the league did was to anger Italy with pin pricks without impeding its military prog- ress. Germany and Japan offer too many difficulties to permit the league to present anything like a united front. It confesses a failure, justi- fying the opinion of critics who have contended from the’ beginning that He i So They Say | Music teachers should recognize that popular songs are part of the folklore of the day.
