CURING DRUNKEN DRIVERS
The other day, the filing of the
moil Italy report of the York county rural
police disclosed that the punishiiieiit
given (Irunkeii drivers by York
county magistrates Is an uveruge line
of *48.
"Look at this," suld a man to Views
and Interviews, about that same time,
as he held out a copy of an Iowa duily
paper, with a local jiews story under
Ills pointing linger.
The news story told, with details of
nuino and place and judge aud officers,
that a drunken driver had been
arrested out In the county, and because
he pleaded guilty, he was give*
a light sentence and was sent to the
penitentiary for only one year.
(Evidently, u drunken driver being
arrested is real news in Iowa, Judging
from the space and headlines of
I he one which wandered into the office
Thin Yorkvlllu Enquirer. About
a half do/ayi in a year, in that statu,
over twice as large as South Carolina,
is ,the crop of drunken drivers there,
it Is said?In South Carolina, the number
runs fur ubove 100 a year.
The deal lis caused by drunken drivers
in Iowa is a negligible number?
here the number Is large. The reason
seems to be told in that newspaper
story of a yeur in the penitentiary,
and getting off light, at that, because
he pleaded guilty. Two years in the
penitentiary seems to be the usual
punishment there, aguinst a flue of
*48 here, for the greatest peril In this
country today.
"We're going to have a lot of.drunken
drivers In South Carolina, aud a
lot of people killed by them?perfectly
innocent, careful drivers killed by
them?as long us shooting a missile
weighing a ton along the wrong side
of the road at a mile a minute, with
a crazy man at the controls, is considered
by the magistrates as merely
un exhibition of bad manners," said
the man with the newspaper.
"Well, we can't do anything about
It," remarked a bystander, "unless we
put a few magistrates out of office, to
show them that decent motorists have
votes, and more votes, than the drinking
drivers."?Yorkvillo Enquirer.
MAKING PENALTIES HARD
Itrunken drivers and malicious vandals
"get theirs" In some parts of the
country according to two newspaper
accounts from widely separated sections.
One tells of a drunken driver
pleading guilty and receiving a one
year sentence. Another tells of two
young men going on a wild outburst
of malicious mischief, tearing down
and destroying rural mail boxes and
damaging a cemetery. The account
reads:
"Their arrest was ordered the next
morning on complaint of the Postmaster
Tampering with mail boxes
is a federal court offense and a *5,000
line might be imposed if handled by
that court; also committing such depredations
iit a cemetery involves a
very heavy penalty. The case will
not reach the federal court but the
government was content to have It
handled locally as the penalty was
sufficiently severe. All the defendants
pleaded guilty before a Justice
and were given six months suspended
sentence, with the understanding
that tln-y report to the sheriff once a
we?>k. be in their homes every night
by 10 o'clock except one night a week
when on permission of the sheriff
they may have a later hour. They
must make restitution for all damage
(tone, and they were lined *10 euck
and given a month in which to pay
the lllie."

l'atrous of the schools aro urged to

to prevent smallpox?provided
they have not already been successfully
vaccinated, and by securing before
the school opening the necessary
books for pupils entorlngHH^des from
one through seven. Th^byirttb which
will he used at the beginning of the
session ure to be found In the published
book list. Tills Is the year for
the use of newly adopted text-books.
However, we have placed us few of
these new books on the list as was
consistent with a wise planning. The
remainder of the adoption is to be included
next year.
Patrons are also advised to have'
their children s teeth and eyes exam-!
ined before entering them?if this Is'
possible. This is in nowise compulsory
but it done before the opening
may save some valuable time to the j
student. I
In preparation fqr the opening dayi
tin? entire faculty will meet Monday:
afternoon, September 9th at f> p. in i
In tin- high school auditorium.
High School Notes?As has been the
practice for several years high school
pupils will register before the open
Ing date of the schools. By this plan
much confusion is avoided, the pupils
do not have to spend a day of tiresome
waiting, and classes can begin
work promptly on* the opening date.
Attention of parents and pupils is
called to the fact that unless pupils
report for registration at the scheduled
time they are Tlkely to find the
classes in the subjects which they
wish to take already filled. Parents
should investigate the courses given
bj the high school and help the pupils
[elect subjects that will give them the
I host possible preparation for life. Not
lull the work in the high school is college
preparatory and, therefore, parents
an.l pupils are cautioned to elect
subjects carefully to that end. The
superintendent and principal invite
the parents to confer with them about
the work of their children for the
school year.
The schedule for high school registration
follows:
I hursday. September f>?30-11:00.
eighth grade; 11:00-1';30, ninth grade

High school students who have had
summer work for credit are to consult
L. W McKadden on or before

for standing examinations on such
subjects.

The key Is lu thin aouteuce, by
Jamen E. liauna of the field mueeuin
In "Savage Abyssinia."
"The Abyssinian la essentially a
highbinder and seldom peuetratea to
the low countrlea; when he does, he
diea, If he remaLua any length of
time."
Tb? referenece la to 90 per cent, of
Abyssinia's territory, a 6,000-foot plateau,
15 degrees north of the equator.
Hinging it ure hot low countries,

up to the highland ure vastly eroded
ravines, themselves hot, malarial.
This fringe is where Un* highland
Abyssinian does not venture for long.
Hut his highlands, where the main
lighting might be expected, Is u
"white man's country."
'This description of the great plateau
is psed by two Abyssinian writers,

of New Mexico and Wyoming;

Top coats or heavy sweaters are useful

Medically these cool highlands are
not prospective havens for an Invading
force. Endemic are some common
diseases, mostly wiped out In the
other parts of the world, the kind
that once devastated armies.
In the missionary research library
here there is a summary of Abyssinia's
health status less than two years
ago by Stuart Bergenia. M. U. He is
th?- missionary In charge of the American
Abyssinian Mission hospital of
the United Hresbyterlan church of
North America.
"Abyssinia never had a census," he
writes in the Mission Review World.
"No death registration. No sewage
disposal. No controlled water supply.
No swamp drainage. No control of
epidemics. No isolation of contagious
diseases. Huts unhealthful, unsanitary
wlndowless, chimney less.
"Common diseases, tuberculosis,
dysentery, small pox, typhus, relapsing
fever, pneumonia, intestinal parasites
veneral.
"Only ten missionary physicians
and ten reputable private physicians
(one doctor for each 500,000). Eight
hospitals with a total of 250 beds."
The dysentery and typhoid come
from the water; the relapsing fever
from ticks. The intestinal parasites
are in many cases tapeworms, from
eating raw meat.
This raw meat eating has been attributed
to war. The Abyssinian soldier
hardens himself to live on raw
food to avoid detection of cooking
fires. j

The Abyssian silt eroded In
the rushing torrents In this rainy
season is credited by Bauns with
furnishing Egypt her fertility. It
