The woma n vote, it has been popu larly supposed, is won by the cand'd- ate who kisses the infants while men lire up for hours waiting for the handshake of a prominent official. But mode:,n hygiene has risen up tc- shield babies from indiscriminate kiss’ng, political or otherwise. What df hand shaking? Is it destined to go the same way in the interest of hygiene ? Many health authorities are urging that the custom be abandoned, even on the brink of a political campaign. So many harmful organisms can be tiansferred from hand to hand, and thus to mouth and nose, they de- clari"*, that unless precautions of cleanliness are taken there may be a real :Ssk to the health in pass’ng down the reception line. An officer in the U. S. Sanitary Corps who record, d all his actions during one day of ordinary routine found that among HD chances for in fection 92 were occasion- when h' shock hands or touched his hards tc articles that had just been handled by others. It is the carry ng of the infected hands to the mouth or 1 nose, either directly or through food, or through use of a handkerchief, as he pointed c.’i'J that may increase the dangers of spreading communicable disease. Mussolini is said to have banned the hand shake, partly on hygienic grounds, in favor of the old Roman salute with hand upraised. Another form of greet‘ng which might be adopted hefe is practiced by the Chiwase, who shake their own hands. If it is too much to expect that either will soon be accepted by^ Americans, we may get the habit of washing the hands after every manual greeting. We may yet adorn our receptions and political meetings with wash bowls, hot water, soap and towiels, for the sake of the candidate’s health and that of the handshaking public. ■ X If alsike clover from spring seed ing does not mah'* a stand, the stub ble field may be disked and seeded in August with a fair chance of suc cess unless a severe drought should occur. Alsike clover will endure moisture that would kill most crops, and has been known to grow a year in water-soaked and water-covered soil and make a heavy growth. In the South alsike clover is recom mended for creek bottoms and other wet lands. Little Talk On Thrift VALID EXCUSES FOR NOT GET TING AHEAD TODAY ARE INDEED RARE (By S. W. Straus, President j American Society for Thrift.) Great changes have taken place! within the last few years as the re sult of which a higher standard of livmg is being maintained by peo ple everywhere. The automobile and the motion picture have revolutioniz ed conditions within the last quarter of a century while the radio of more recent development has been equal ly as powerful in changing the lives of the people. Aviation has not yet reached the stage whei'e it greatly affects the personal lives of the public general ly but as time goes on and distance more and more is annihilated, the atioplane will exert a tremendous i.:f.uence on the personal lives of all of us. While these are the more spec tacular forms of progoess there are countless other innovations that have united to change completely s^wdards of living as compared with these that prevalied at the beginning" of the present century. Today persons in the most humble ci rcumstanq? have comforts and con veniences which a few decades ago would have been considered luxuries. Life in every way, so far as it is in fluenced by the inventive gonius of men, is more pleasant than ever be fore. We are indeed living in a golden age. Similar progress has bepn made in the science of personal economics. The service extended to the average family today by savings banks and investment hc^uses makes it (easier for them to save scientifically than ever before. • Budget systems have been worked out and children are not only being taught to save through the school savings banks but they are being taught in the classroom the deeper meanings of thrift. There are opportunities for investment to day which did not exist twenty-five Or fifty yrars ago and those who are doubtful as to proposed investments have every facil ty for investigation. In the days of our fo "Bathers when every comfort was dearly bought and when life held few luxuries, saving- called for a vist amount c’f pluck and stamina. Today, life’s conveniences and comforts are so easily obtained and there are so many helpful facil ities for those who want tc* save that valid excuses for anyone not getting ahead are indeed rare.
