We will weigh the advantages of
spending money for intoxicants as
contrasted with other possibilities.
We will study the ethical, moral
and social implications of the new
status of intoxicants, also give at-
tention to the relation of liquor to
economics in a technological age.
We will undertake intelligently to
formulate a personal philosophy and
program of true temperance.
Finally, we will undertake honest-
ly to put our personal philosophy and
program into practice.
In an effort to encourage young
men to “think through” the problem
of achieving temperance, the weekly
publications of the New York City
young Men’s Christian Association,
recently carried this liquor creed:
We will under no circumstances
patronize the bootleg industry nor
violate any liquor-control laws under
which we now have increased per-
sonal liberty.
We will avoid making ourselves a
nuisance to our friends or to the pub-
lic by drunkenness.
We will refrain from encouraging
young women to drink.
We will disapprove the practive of
treating or other methods of forming
a liquor habit.
We will investigate the experience

By extending the operation of the
blanket codes for four months, the
President steals a march on NRA ob-
servers who have insisted that this
would be impossible. Acceptance of
the blanket code has been largely
voluntary. Communal moral pres-
sure was relied on to put it into ini-
tial effect, supported by a
governmental blacklist in
with recalcitrants. With 70 per cent
of national industry now regulated
by special codes, those still without
have no incentive to quit the blanket
agreement, unless they are also dis-

A new antiseptic is announced by

revise their claims.
Fossils of crocodiles have been

“SLEEPING-SICKNESS”
Brings a shudder just to hear of
this terrible thing, doesn’t it? But
we see it mentioned in the newspa-
pers so often—it must be on the in-
crease in certain quarters. One in-
stance when the medical profession
must keep its eyes open!
First noticed as an African malady,
caused by infection from the bite of
the “tsetse” fly. The victim literally
sleeps himself to death—no antidote
known for the poison. . . . Our
American cases have been with few
exceptions, found in the large cities.
I have never read of a case in the
strictly rural districts. I never saw
a case and hope I may never meet
one. Were I limited to what we
'KNOW about American sleeping-
sickness, I might occupy a single line
in our favorite paper.
If we just knew the cause! Ob-
servers have told us it is a form of
meningitis—that is, inflammation of
the coverings of the brain. From
here its deadly stupefying effect is
exerted on the “gray matter,” put-
ting the patient but of commission in
a state of coma, I should call it, rath-
er than sleep. Just a case of poison-
ing of the brain, the center of all in-
telligence ! ... Of course there is
some elevation of temperature—the
, .... . „ ■ treatment—just sit by and watch the
posed to resistjihe application of spe- smouldering fire go out.
Look here: If you live in the coun-
try—and have country food—coun-
try meats and vegetables, count
yourselves fortunate indeed. For
this idea of “processing” everything
we feed upon, has gone into a craze,
with the almighty dollar at the bot-
tom of it Commercialism and greed
—unholy, deadly twins! God gives
us food in plenty; may He forgive
manipulation for profit! Live in the
country. Worry as little as possible.
Eat of God’s bounty in pure state.
Drink of God’s brew—pure water.

According to a ruling of the At-
torney General’s department, auto-
mobile owners must register their
cars this year in their home counties,
under penalty of having their license
plates taken from them. It has been
the practice of some motorists in the
past to registei’ cars outside their
home counties for various reasons,
one of these reasons being to make
identification of the cars more diffi-
cult. Since each county keep's a spec-
ified amount of the automobile li-
cense fees for that county, common
patriotism should have induced all
motorists to register their cars in
their home counties, but it didn’t
work out that way.

We are in receipt of a beautifully
printed pahphlet of 32 pages sent out
by the Chase National Bank of New
York titled “On the Practical Impos-
sibility of a Commodity Dollar.” The
purpose of the bank in mailing this
pamphlet is to create opposition to
President Roosevelt’s program, and
while we have not yet had time to
read the arguments contained in the
pamphlet, we know in advance of
such reading that the Chase National
Bank cannot undermine our confi-
dence in the President of the United
States. However, we don’t blame the
Chase National Bank for opposing
the President, since the President
has been instrumental in exposing
some unsavory facts concerning that
and other New York banks, and be-
cause he is trying to run htis coun-
try for the benefit fo all the people
and not the “money changers.”

$50,000 Per Crash
When you read of a fatal motor
accident, make a note in your men-
tal bookkeeping for a community
debit of $50,000. And that figure,
according to Sidney J. Williams, di-
rector of the Public Safety Division
of the National Safety Council, is a
“conservative estimate.”
His opinion is based on the ac-
cepted assumption that the economic
value of a life averages $30,000. He
takes account of the fact that for
every automobile fatality there are
some thirty-five non-fatal injuries,
and for every injury there are at
least four accidents involving prop-
erty damage. With the total bill for
accidents of all kinds in the United
States running to a billion and a half
dollars, simple arithmetic reveals that
$50,000 may be properly used as the
community cost per fatal traffic ac-
cident.
But if money does not talk con-
vincingly on this subject, consider
the cost in human life. We think of
wars as being piajor national catas-
trophes, yet a;

Spanish-American War, the World
War—fewei’ than 300,000 men were
killed in action or died from wounds.
Alongside those figures. should be
laid these, cited by D. C. Duncan,
safety engineei' for the Appalachian
Electric Power Company, to wit: In
the past fifteen years, a period ap-
proximating the duration of those
_____ _ .six wars, Americans killed by or dy-
not members of the Federal Re- inS from injuries received in motor
accidents total 325,000!
Surely, here is a field of
nity service that merits intelligent
i consideration from all citizens. Al-
• most every nation has an organized
accident-prevention movement. Facts
have been gathered. Methods have
been formulated to reduce the acci-
dent toll. The need of the moment
is for campaigns of education and
for improvement of traffic regula-
tions and conditions.—Rotarian Mag-
azine.
For a different-flavored morning-

pineapple juice with 1 tablespoon of
honey, add lemon juice to taste (1 or

To lend elegance, in appearance
and taste to meringue, try sprinkling

To remove grease from the top of
soup, put in a piece of celery top, let-

gather the grease and can them be
removed.
Have pity on the poor carver and
refrain from decorating a dish des-
tined for table carving. He has trou-
ble enough without dodging parsley
and watercress.
To improve the flavor of French
dressing, add a little onion juice.
To stop hiccoughs, take a few
drops of glycerine in a glass of cold
water.
To remove warts from the hands,
soften them by soaking in warm wat-
er and then apply zinc oxide. Con-
tinue the treatment every night for
some weeks, if necessary.
For home-made fumigating of a
sick-room, drop vinegar on a red hot
shovel, one drop at a time, and wait
for each drop to burn before repeat-
ing.
For an interesting experiment to
while away an idle moment, try cut-
ting a pane of window glass with a
pair of ordinary scissors. “They say’r
it can be done—provided both glass
and scissors are held level under
enough water to cover them entirely.
The cutting will not be accurate—
but it will cut. '

Public works delay not to be al-
lowed, warns Secretary Ickes, mean-
ing that work on approved projects
must be begun without delay under
penalty of having the projects can-
celled. Mr. Ickes’ idea of prompt-
ness is all right; the government
might even apply a little more
promptness to handling business it-
self without incurring anybody’s dis-
pleasure. If everybody took as much
time to get anything done as the gov-
ernnient does, we’d all have half of
1932’s work yet unfinished.

IL Illinois has abolished real estate
and property taxes so far as state as-
sessments are concerned, and the 35
million dollars heretofore raised from
that source will hereafter be raised
by a two per cent sales tax. Thus a
large part of the tax burden of that
state is transferred from those folks
w^ho are able to pay it, folks owning
k • . ,/property, to those who own nothing
and who have not been contributing
directly toward filling the state’s cof-
fers, and who are less able to sup-
i port the state than their more for-
i) tunate brothers.

Grayson County has a candidate
for Governor of Texas in the per-
son of F. G. Thompson of Sherman,
who in a letter published in Tues-
day’s Dallas News recites 19 planks
in his platform, one of which is to
tax bachelors $25 and old maids
$12.50. Some of the other planks
enumerated would divide the state in-
to five states, establish soup halls in
