Something’s got to be done about the lack of respect shown ladies these days. Here’s a story which says they put one in jail in Atlanta the other day just because some low-down policeman caught her selling stump-rum to two, 12-year-old school girls.—Ft. Pierce News-Tribune. MORE WOMEN CANDIDATES A Washington dispatch says there are to be tivice as many women candidates for congress in the coming election as there have been before. Women are represented as claiming that they are entitled: to larger political opportunities. Political honors, however, will not be given te women principally because they are women. They will gb to certain women because such ones have made themselves competent for this service. Men who succeed in politics usually begin at the bottom and take office in state legis- jatures, local governments, etc., before they can get a ghance to go to Congress, Probably thisywill also be necessary, as a general rule, in the case of Political preferment is a ladder, which usually has to be climbed step by step. have to womet. PATRIOTISM ys like Memorial day are used .at times for teaching patriotism. showdithe and fold to display a like spirit. commonly We are superb example of the soldiers’ sacrifice, But there is no special reason to think that in the near future we shall be called on for patriotic service of that kind. We are asked for patriotic service constantly, and the way to give it is to try our best to make a better country. There are many ways to do that. Voting at all primaries and elections is one. and candidates will give the best service, is a good way.

Not only youths, but business men of all ages are seen dart ing about on business errands with head ent y uncovered. There seems to be a kind of tonie and regenerative effect in sunshine, and the people of the south, and especially those of Flovida seaside cities seem to crave all they can get of it. The old fashioned girl used to dislike to go | out in the sunlight for fear she would get tanned or freckled. of being as brown as an Indian, in fact she often | spends hours in the sunshine on the beach sands | for that purpose. The majority of people would be afraid to | work for an hour or two in the sunlight on a hot | day for fear of sunstroke. Yet one very rarely hears this country, who have toiled in the sunlight for many years, and their rugged physiques show what it of sunstroke among the farmers of has done for them. It would be well for all of us to perform some work or participate in some outdoor sport or ac- tivity that would accustom us to being out in the sunshine, A little work in the home garden or lawn can afford that invigorating experience just as-well as the most expensive golf course. The custom of going bare headed has met with such favor in some communities that “bare head’ clubs have been organized with results that pleasing and highly beneficial. Quite a number of people in Key West have long since adopted the practice of going about in the sunshine without are wearing a hat, and it may be that a “bare head” | elub. will ultimately be formed in’this Island City. PERSONAL HANDICAPS Dr. Roback, an experimental psychologist, and former Harvard recently conducted a study among young people who are university professor, teking university extension courses and also among technology students, to obtain their point of view on many personal subjects. Among the questions asked them, was as to what they considered greatest Thirty-seven per cent of these named either their handic self consciousness or lack of confidence, as the thing | that held them back the most. Such a result reflects the inner experienc: of a multitude of people who never accomplish | what they might in the world, because of these two | traits, which seem nearly the same thing. They feel innate powers within them that are capable of making good, but because of some fear of ridicule or of failure, or inability to throw themselves into their activities without question as to the result, | ¢ they hold back, and never achieve the things they | °" might. Many of these young people will make one or two timid t do not at first achieve the succes in some direction, and when tl! they dreamed of, they will conclude that they are no good. They settle down into some activity that is below their possible standard, and they never accomplish what they might in the world. The ambitious person needs a certaii for laughing at defeat. He needs to, be less whether he gets personally laughed at, though he needs a sense of humor so that he shall not things that are essentially incongruous and absurd A brave try for any prize is always worth the ef fort. Even if one fails, it will give one experience that can be used in making a new try for some d sired result. “UNDER PRIVILEGED CHILDREN” Classes for boys and girls who have had t are maintai American clubs and association | tragedy that there are any “under p ed to be opened to This is suppo the where the door chance, are unfortunately millions are bern the parents can or w chances that sh be theirs ne There should be some way opened by wi such ones could have their chance. them could have it now, only their understand how to get it for them money for good clubs for boys and girls up doors of opportunity for many girls in this coun!
