A finer civilization will evolve from its ashes, “A bible lecturer announces as. one of his subjects the old question “Why Is the Devil Permitted to Live?” And if he can satisfactorily answer it he will throw light on a matter which has worried .a . good méttty"folks for a long time. Sibu President. Harding... said, af ‘would soon get back to “normalcy.” For- mer President Hoover followed with “prosperity is just around the corner.” Its abouit-time we were getting somewhere. President Roosevelt has been working so fast, prosperity hasn’t been able tovcatch up with him, but it’s on its way, In a sports article recently the follow- ing was printed: “Charles ‘Gabby’ Street, Cardinal manager. discussing the recent quake-in Los Angeles, recalls a similar catastrophy in 1906 when he was catch- ing for the San Francisco Seals.” Yeah, heamust have struck out in the last half of the. aiath with his team one run behind, two dt, and the tying and winning rua on base, with the pennant depending on it. Editor Kilgore, by his Tallahassee State, has been doing. some observing: March is a high old- month for breezing around, ali right. Its brisk breezes seem virtually designed to raise gentiemen’s hats and ladies’ skirts. The new derbies and straws, and the flimsy materials, putting in appearance recently on Tallahassee sffeets, and certainly the ones to inspire the March breezes. But nobody pays any at- tention to the wind raising ladies’ skirts any more, It just uncovers a multitude of shins.—Miami Post. It that all? the disease has been held NOW IS TIME TO BUILD OR REPAIR Plenty has been said about the orgy of building which took place during the boom years providing more dwellings than there was any need for. But now that several years have passed, this over- production has been well averaged down. A few years ago we were building several hundred thousand homes a year— undoubtedly too many. But last year we built only about 50,000. Thousands of these newer homes, as well as millions of older ones, haye been allowed to deteriorate to the point of need- ing extensive repair or replacement. There never was a better time to do either, than now. Lumber, cement and other basic materials are selling at rock- bottom prices. So are electrical and plumbing and roofing supplies. There is an abundance of labor, skilled and un- skilled. The citizen who builds a home today,.or repairs the old one, not only ob- tains a bargain but strikes a blow at de- pression. Money spent for construction and maintenance of property covers a wide area and alights in many pockets. It has a powerful stimulating effect on the na- tional purchasing power. If you’re able to build a home and need one, do it now. If you aren’t, you can probably spend a few dollars or a few hundred dollars on repairs and replace- ments. You'll save money, and you'll be | doing your bit in the greatest war .of modern times—the war against unemploy- ment and distress. Investment and cheaper than charity. THE DESTRUCTIVE RAT employment are} Public health authorities estimate that the actual loss caused by rats in the United States amounts to $400,000,000 a year, of which about one-half is in food- stuffs and the rest in the destruction of other property. : The number of rats engaged in these depredations is estimated at 120,000,000, or about equal to the country’s human population. Besides the destructiveness of the rat is its constant menace to health through the transmission of disease, especially bubonic plague, which is spread entirely by fleas which infest infected rats. While in check in countries employing preventive measures, bubonic plague»killed more than 1,000,- 000 people in India during a 20-year period. . The Public Health Service . declares that if the extraordinarily prolific breed- ing of rats were not partially controlled by natural enemies, disease and the can- nibalistic tendencies of the animal! itself, they would soon overrun the world and ex- terminate man by depriving him of his source of food. Like many other ever-present menaces to property and health, the rat appears to be taken for granted, and seldom is any conckrted effort made with a view to its | extermination. NO IMMUNITY FOR “BIG ONES” (Tampa Tribune) oe Charles E.. Mitchell, _ erstwhile. - big banker, has been arrested and: will be vigorously prosecuted; by order “of the president, through the Department of Jus- tice. This is convincing that malefactors of high finance will not be immune under the present administration. The charge against Mitchell is the same that put Alphonse Capone in the federal penitentiary—evading income tax. If the charge can be proved, the only dif- ference between Mitchell and Capone is that Mitchell was professionally a finacier and Capone was professionally a criminal. If guilty, Mitchell should be where Capone is. The exposure of Mitchell’s trangres- sions disillusioned many men of otherwise good judgment, some of whom we have heard allude to him as one of the strong } pillars of the American financial system. ; The exposure did much to precipitate the | recent bank troubles, by disturbing public | eonfidence in banks and banking. As such, Mitchell's offense constituted a na- tional menace. The president, fearlessly moving to bring him to account. at the bar} of justice, reassures the public mind that} the administration is to play no favorites, | that eminence of position will not be a bar to prosecution for misdoing. ' There is something brewing all over | the United States besides trouble. eepesace SEOCCOCOCOODECCEVESSCOHOEROEESOOSOEOCE Daily Cross-word Puzzle eecee Cvegoegpooccagonecnonespasce sopemrapege ACROSS.
