SALMON BUT NOT CHILDREN.
AN OLD BIBLE.
Paris rulers of fashion say to wom
en all over the world:
“Wear your skirts above your knees
and paint your ears red.”
And tfye pathetic fact is that mil
lions of women will wear skirts so
short as to be silly, and paint their
ears without loss of time. Also the
eyelids are to be stained dark brown
or blue, the eyelashes curled, and the
inside of the nostrils btained bright
red.

Report of Committee*-^
MRS. EDWARD LONG, Pres.
The short skirt, in reason, is sensi
We, a step toward common sense, and
away from microbes. Red ears, when
natural, indicate good blood condition.
But for women to wear skirts that
would look foolish on a child, paint
artificial health on their ears, curl
their lashes and color their eyelids,
that seems too much. However, back
of it all theri is divine wisdom, un
doubtedly. Woman is on her way to
some grand destiny. Let us observe
and admire, but not criticize.
We can estimate the wealth under
ground in this country. The Barland
Oil Company strikes a new oil well
in its Colorada territory. The roar of
the gas, rushing out, twenty million
feet a day, can be heard for six miles.
If gas were worth one dollar a thous
and, which is called “a cheap, confis
catory price,” how much would that
well yield in money? -
And the wealth in the ground is
perhaps less than the wealth in. the
air. Floating above every farm, wait
ing to be taken out and used, is
enough nitrogen to fertilize many
such farms. We buy nitrogen hauled
all the way from South America, and
there are billions of tons of it above
our heads. ,
And what is the wealth below the
waters of the oceans, seas and lakes,
that cover the greater part of the
earth ?
Here and there, along the Pacific
coast, you see oil weeds out in the
ocean.
will explore the
ocean's bed, as they now explore
Alaska, or Africa, and £ive to the
farms, from the aft:, the nitrogen they
need. Henry Ford would do it now,
if he had Muscle Shoals.

THE AUTOMOBILE /LS A
HEALTH DANGER
DR. FRKDURICK R. GHUKN
Kdltor of “HEALTH”
What about an act that would pre
vent exploiters of child labor turning
young lives into dividends and grind
ing up children into profits? Isn’t
that worse than grinding good sal
mon into fertilizer?
The Supreme Court was not able
to uphold the constitutionality of an
act to protect children, although cer
tain so-called “radical” justices on
that bench did uphold it.
However, our highest court - does
find a way to protect fish and game.
About a hundred years ago, in a
Vermont log cabin, a young mother
read to her children old Bible stories,
about the whale that swallowed Jonah,
Elijah and his chariot of fire, and the
fig tree that withered under Divine
rebuke.
The Supreme Court decides that the
game and fish act is constitutional.
Phe National Government, therefore,
lias power, where game and fisH are
concerned, to protect the interest of
the people.
TJie Monterey Fish Products Com-
pany must now discontinue turning
That mother was poor and all her
people were poor, and ours was a
yo\mg and poor nation then.
The old Bible from that log cabin,
carefully wrapped ujj, was taken to
the brohd platform before the Capitol.
With his hand on that Bible, Calvin
Coolidge swore to do his duty as Pre-
stdent of the United States. He is
the grandson of the New England
woman that owned the Bible 100 years
ago.
*T'HE automobile is a great advance
in methods of human transporta
tion. But like all advances, It bas
some disadvantages. So rapidly^have
the manufacture and general use of
the automobile developed, that w*
have hot yet had time to resize Us
dangers and to protect ourselves from
them. Just as In the early days of
the railroad, before safety devices and
protective measures had time tc de
velop, many lives were lost, so the
early years of the automobile are cost
ing many lives which could be saved.
The first danger, of "course, Is to
the drivers and pedestrians. In 1021.
the United States census bureau re
ported 18,000 deaths for that year. The
number for 1024 will probably be much
higher, 'from eighteen to twenty thou
sand. This appalling loss of life can
only be lowered by better and more
carefully guarded roads, greater care
on the part of drivers and greater cau
tion and watchfulness on the part of
pedestrians.
“ A growing- danger Is ttrat-from Hie,
carbon monoxide Id automobile ex
haust gases. Hardly a dally paper
now which does not record one or
more deaths from this cause. Owners
and drivers of automobiles must learn
that It Is highly dangerous to run an
automobile engine In rf small closed
garage. Keep the doors and windows
of the garage open until you have
stopped your engine. The exhaust
from even a smafl car can overcome
you in about three minutes. ^
What special dangers to workers In
automobile factories, battery factories,
repair shops and garages are we do
not know.
Another health danger is that too
many of us are riding too much and
walking too little. This means too
much fst, especially among the well-to-
do and middle-aged. Fat causes di
abetes, Bright’s disease and heart dis
ease.
Lastly, anything which Increases
travel Increases the spread of disease.
Diseases are carried from one place to
another by Infected people. The role
Of the automobile In the spread of dis
ease Is an Important sanitary problem
which -must be studied and solved.

IT SAVES MONEY
This is the land of opportunity and
growth. What will itr be in years' to
come, if the 112,000,000 now here
work as hard and hopefully as men
and women did in the days of Calvin
Coolidge’s grandmother?
The cheapest way to find and
secure new customers is through
advertising. The business that
does not advertise is dying, like
its old customers. The sheriff is
usually the uniidMaker, through
a forced sate, of the business that
does not get new customers.
