PAGE 8 terprise Assn 4 Ruthmen, Sp An Old Boy’s Hurt T HURTS to think that that old far is being absorbed by a city, It sac there in the sun for a century. Summer tame with crops and the great apple trees were loaded with fruit, Winters came and the little old house was snug and warm, and always it looked and felt like home. There was always a surplus of_ food in both barn and cellar, and Uncle Oliver, as he pitched hay to his horses, often said: *T like to see the critters eat.” And there was the sheet iron stove that really gave out heat, and the soft blankets, and the featherbeds, and often one sat in the kitchen, for there it was always cheerful, and one could cook his feet on the hearth while the wind howled outside. Just over the edge was a city, growing, fungry, and, a little at a time, it swal- lowed acres and farm homes and crept up to the little farm and nibbled around its edges. A field disappeared and hammers Were heard. Stores, houses, garages, all Sorts of buildings came up like mush- rooms, and the little farm shrank into itself, for it knew that its days were doomed. Of course, this is the way of life. Change is the usual thing. And the city dwellers are going out into the country and building palaces and silos and great barns, and long miles of cement pavement, and the old order, with its simplicity, its neighborliness, its contentment, is slipping away, and those who do not like the situa- tion must know that it is retribution. Thousands of city men have gone out 80 and even 40 miles, purchased farms, and come in to their offices each morn- ing. Other tens of thousands have gone out to secure better living conditions and travel by flivver, and it must be good, else it would not be. But one mourns for the little brown farmhouse and the acres that were happier when alone. What ‘a Leade r eakis, metropolis of continental Eu- rope, dictator of women’s fashions, gathering place for “smart” people, is de- Gidedly old-fashioned in at least one re- Spect. _ Paris has 500,000 vehicles of different sorts on its streets. Yet only 50,000 are privately owned automobiles and nearly 400,000 are bicycles! Imagine any American city of any size With eight times as many bicycles on its streets as automobiles! This is indeed of the “Old World.” It is a wonder we still Jet Paris tell us what to wear. Carefulness RAFFIC accidents, you are informed ‘i by Herbert Hoover, are responsible annually for 23,000 deaths and 680,000 Serious injuries. This represents the staggering economic loss of $600,000,000. It will take years of effort and educa- tion before we banish death from the highway. Traffic is our biggest problem. And yet traffic does not stand alone as @ big factor in accidental death. Statis- show that nearly as many people are illed by falls as in traffic and, strange to relate, by falls that occur largely in their own homes. One naturally thinks he is safe in his own home, yet the individual is in fre- quent peril of his life within his own four walls. However, he wouldn’t be if he were al- Ways careful. he Seattle Star Published Dally by The Btar Publishing Phone Main 0400. al Nepre tea, 410 ntatives: orth Mich Wen Ave; | An Old Law “SUPPLY and demand again, Five thou sand qualified physicians, a news dispatch informs you, are tramping th streets of London looking for jobs at any | thing from $10 a week up. Some of them sleep at night along the Thames embankment—world-famous re sort of down-and-outers Tremendous activity among British and Irish medical schools has created a sur plus of both men and women physicians since the war, and thousands are con fronted with the choice of starving or abandoning a profession to which they have devoted years of training. The schools are at fault here. Instead of contributing to a condition like this they should say to prospective medical students: “We should like to teach you medicine, but the prospects are that you will starve after graduation, Why don't you try the law, or dentistry, or account ing, or something else that offers more opportunity of making a living?” Roads Change Autos AUSE our highways are getting B better from year to year, a change is being brought about in motor car de sign. There seems to be a tendency among automobile owneys to use a smaller ve hicle. This is logical when it is considered that the average number of passengers in an automobile is from one to three. Good roads enable the light car to do comfort- ably what only the heavy one can do when the going is rough. We haven't gone as far as they have in Europe, where they use very small cars But the percentage of small cars being produced in this country is on a rapid in- crease, | Advertise Carefully | B AREFUL how you advertise your- | self. Recently, Theodore Kosloff, the Rus- sian ballet master and movie actor, applied for citizenship and was confronted with a newspaper clipping in which he said that he was of tHe Russian nobility and ex- pected to be restored to power. Now, refused citizenship by a federal judge, Theodore say Motion picture artists must have publicity.” Theodore is a fi fellow and the nobility of American citi- zenship would be good for him and for America. Too bad that he will have to get along with Russian nobility, which is about as satisfactory as a linen suit with the mercury 20 degrees below zero. Eating Light CIENCE has found a way, in its re- searches to find a treatment for rickets, to feed sunlight to the human body in our food. We cannot be healthy without sunlight, or rather the short, “actinic” or “ultra- violet” rays which are found in sunlight. Science found it could produce these rays with artificial light and for some time has been treating rickety children with artificial sun baths. But it found, also, that by treating food with these actinic rays, we could feed our- selves sunlight internally. The best way of preventing or curing rickets is to light up our bodies inside. Now we can do it two way Either thru the skin or from the inside by light-giv- | ing foods. ? ?

Congress had the habit of paying no salaries higher than those received by its own mem- bers. Of course, the president, the vice president, the members of the supremo court, the cab- inet officers and the ambaasa dors fared better, but that prac tieally exhausts tho list. During the war and post-war periods it became necessary to pay ‘igher salaries to get com- petent men needed for govern- ment jobs. But during the past three years there has been a noticeable tendency on the part of congress to get back to the former theory that officials of other branches of the govern- ment can't be worth more than senators and representatives, Consequently, new positions created havo usually ximum salary provision of $7 While the Jobs al ready paying more than this sum were not disturbed, except recently hada r 00. insofar as they were temporary war-time creations, it became evident that $7,500 had again become the deadline for govern- mont salaries, And then came tho sudden boost of congressional salaries from $7,600 to $10,000. Imme diately the occupants of goyern- mont positions now paying $7,500 began to wonder how soom it would be until congress extended the same generosity to them.
