Let's get together in Key West this year and see if we can’t make real social ! progress. Some business men fail to exhibtt patriotism until they see a chance for fifty per cent. To love one’s own country necessarily mean one must countries. not other does hate After. all, considering that men are big boys. the whipping post has its side of | the argument. Chemists say man is composed largely of glue. Yet many fail to stiek thing very long. to any- Any community can accomplish some- thing when its people pull together behind a capable leader. Technically, the husband is the head of the family, but in most households the technicality is overruled. Knowing how and when to advertise is the difference between success and failure for many business men. Oniy the man who can ‘impose dis- cipline on himself is fit to discipline othere or can impose discipline on others. af The ultimate plan for universa}.peace may be evolved by some fellow . who. has successfully managed a church choir. A Brooklyn judge decides that motor- ists must not run over dogs. Maybe in time the ruling will be extended to include people. It appears that some women get mar- ried only as a first step toward acquiring that fascination which is supposed to at- tach to ‘‘a dashing young widow.” | COMMERCIAL AVIATION IMPROVES Tht people of the United States are used to doing things in a big way. In no line of activity has this been more graphic- ally illustrated than in aviation. The network of air lines over our country carried 642,000 passengers over 44,000,000 scheduled miles during the first nine months of 1935, as compared with 877,000 passengers over 30,000,000 route milés during the same period in 1934. Aside from this remarkable commer- ' cial service, the thousands of expensively + trained employes of the air lines are an in- dispensabie reserve tor military service. There have been mishaps in the air, but fewer all the time, and relatively rare when compared with the miles flown and the passengers carried. The lessons learn- ed from each accident makes future air transportation safer. The causes are care- | fully analyzed in order to remove every | possible hazard. Unfortunately, much of the publicity on aviation accidents, which is still head- line material out of all proportion to its im- portance, has not been about scheduled air line transportation, but is too often related to irresponsible, incompetent or poorly trained aviators. The public, in reading press accounts, fails to make a distinction between these two widely varied forms of flying. This has reflected unfavorably on scheduled air line operators, whose record of safety, it is said, today surpasses that of the private automobile. It is of the greatest importance to the United States, both commercially and as a means of national defense, that our air lines be encouraged in every possible man- ner and that they continue to expand their activities. SAVING BABIES’ LIVES In the long list of accomplishments to the credit of modern medical science per- haps none has a greater significance than the success attained in the reduction of childhood deaths. A recent writer recalls that Queen Anne of England, born in 1664, bore 17 children, only one of whom lived more than a year, and he died at the age of 11. Now large families of children often mature without a death. Through medical education and the treatment of early defects, the child’s chance of reaching maturity has been greatly increased, especially during the last half century. The lengthened average span of human life which now prevails is largely due to the reduction of mortality among infants, In addition to regularly. employed physicians and nurses of public health units, thousands of volunteer workers are cooperating in the noble tasks of saving babies’ lives. For their effective efforts in this and other directions looking to the preservation of human life, the medical profession and those cooperating are entitled to the high- est praise. BRITISH REFORMS We do not understand exactly the full nature of the new scheme of -the British government to purchase and control the country’s coal mines, in an effort to end private ownership of royalties which has re'tricted thousands of miners to wages of $1.11 a week, but we do understand the ery of “socialism” that greets such a for- ward step in the interests of wage earners. It is heard in every country whenever any government attempts to do anything in behalf of people as contrasted with property. With all our boasted civilization the world still worships at the .shrine of property and while there is sound basis for some of our regard for property rights there is no reason to suppose that it will continue until the end of time. “Another piece of news from England is that the government plans to purchase “Queen Anne’s Bounty” from the church and private holders. This hangs over from feudal times when the first fruits and a tenth had to be turned over to Crown. This meant the first year's profits and one- tenth annually from the tenant farmer’s profits. Anne gave them to the Church of England for the benefit of poor clergymen. Now, to rid farmers of the tax, amounting to $16,000,000 yearly, the government plans to buy the bounty rights for $300,- 000,000.
