Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.-I Corinthians 7:3. . . Husbands and wives talk of the cares of matrimony,
Although it announces itself a little more
emphatically in some localities, a little more
gently in others, that regular midsummer
visitor, Heat, nevertheless exacts some toll
from everyone, from coast to coast.
In addition to minor unpleasantness, heat
may cause serious illness and even death.
According to Dr. John L. Rice, New York
City health commissioner, keeping faith with
three little watchwords—“Take it Easy”—
is the best protection against these heat haz-
ards.
“Take it Easy” means moderation in eat-
ing .exercising, sun-bathing, working. Meat
should be eaten but once a day. Raw, leafy
vegetables, salads, fruits should be conspic-
uous on the menu. Drink cool water, but
avoid iced drinks. Dress lightly, take fre-
quent baths.
In the last three decades, New York City
has cut its yearly sunstroke case total from
more than 700 to a mere 34, largely through
education in “taking it easy.’1 And that -
seems to make it good adviee for anyone.

Trotsky On Vacation
“Tired of civilization,” Leon Trotsky,
arch-disciple of Bolshevism, has left his
haven in Mexico City to be gone “a long
time” on an extensive fishing trip. His des-
tination was unrevealed. Regardless of the
varying opinions which ths news will inspire,
Trotzky’s vacation is bound to be an inter-
esting experiment, for himself at least.
For one thing, he will have a chance to
observe how his own inimitable brand of
“civilization” works out when it is not con-
taminated by association with the adulter-
ated varieties in vogue with most modern
nations.
Few really will care how long Trotzky
stays away on his fishing trip. It will mean
a sad dearth of quips for the columnists,
and possibly will reduce the volume of Sta-
lin’s treason trials. The only fearful thing
about it all is that Trotzky will come back
—dragging a new prize string of red herr-
ings. __________________________________________

From the Wichita Falls Times.
Some of the Texas scouts at the jamboree
at Washington took with them the stuffed
body of a rabbit to the head of which some
horns had beeh realistically attached. When
they exhibited the creature to some New
Jersey scouts, the latter were not impressed.
They had always thought of Texas as a place
where anything could happen, and horned
rabbits were not at all out of line with their
general ideas of this state.
The New Jersey lads were more interested
in the Texas Scouts themselves. They wanted
to know if the Texans attended school regu-
larly. Alas, yes, was the Texas boys’ reply,
in substance. It developed that the New
Jersey boys had always thought of Texas
as a land of wide open spaces, so sparsely
settled that the schools were many miles
apart, making attendance difficult. A state
where the schoolhouses might be 50 miles
from home interested them more than one
that seemed to produce horned rabbits.
If the Texas scouts had really wished to
impress others with the wonders of Texas
fauna, they should have carried some speci-
mens of the Texas hoop-snake, which, catch-
ing its tail in its mouth, rolls merrily along
like a hoop. That would have given the New
Jersey boys something to remember, es-
pecially if the Texans demonstrated the pre-
scribed manner of escaping the hoop-snake's
attacks. Which is to dodge suddenly behind
a tree or a post just as the rolling menace
is about to strike. In this manner the spike
in the snake’s tail is driven into the tree
before the creature can stop itself, and it
is rendered helpless.
The Texas scouts overlooked an opportuni-
ty to exploit the wonders of their state, in
this respect.

Q What are the school neckties
of Eton and Harrow? H A N
A. The Eton tie is black with
diagonal blue stripes, while the
Harrow tie is blue with white double
stripes.
With regular airplane schedules now link-
ing North America directly with every con-
tinent, with streamlined trains streaking on
faster schedules from coast to coast, and
with science almost daily bringing out some
new device to increase the speed of com-
munication, it is almost too easy to scoff
at the occasional brave philosopher who
longs for “the good old days.”
The fact is that several of the mainstays
of the “good old days,” along with much
of the atmosphere of that lazy era, are still
in evidence. The proof was contained in
two recent news stories, bearing witness to
the Survival of at least two transportation
vehicles which had their beginnings when
the nation was only a stripling.
One told of the greatest single month of
June traffic in the history of the .Great
Lakes. For that month this year, the Sault
Ste. Marie ship canal recorded more than
14,000,000 tons of freight shipping, amount-
ing to about 100,000 tons more than the
previous record, established during the boom
year of 1929.
The list of items included in this shipping
is significant too—lumber, flour, wheat and
other grains; copper, scrap and pig iron;
steel, stone, coal, petroleum products, auto-
mobiles and general merchandise—all com-
modities or material necessary to most indi-
viduals sometime during their daily lives.
And not to be overlooked are the 4,000 pas-
sengers who, apparently, simply preferred
that kind oft ravel, ~r
The other item concerned the activities of
ferry boats along the Ohio river. Eight miles
downstream from Cincinnati, a man has just
launched a new side-wheeler to ply a route
which has been in operation 121 years. But
his ease is not exceptional. There are 20
ferries plying the Ohio at points between
Ashland ami Carrollton, Ky. And the total,
when this kind of transportation it figured
in from all the navigable rivers of the union,
might be shocking to those who scoff at"
old-time methods. )
How long these ferries may continue to
defy time is a matter of guessing. They
make no challenge to the faster moving age.
because they merely fill the gaps left in the
new traffic arteries, and usually serve com-
munities which can not afford bridges.
It is interesting, then, tn estimate how
many other “vestigial remains” from the
past have hung on through the thick and
thin of twentieth century progress.
Probably there are many of them. Beside

high might give thanks they are not
living in France, said Ernest O.
Thompson, member of the Texas
railroad commission.
“In France," said Thompson, re-
cently returned from the world oil
congress in Paris, "the price of gas-
oline is 44 cents."
Moreover, he said, the license for
a 30-horse power automobile costa
$150 a year. The result is a trend
toward small motors and sharp re-
striction on distribution.
Thompson, also chairman of the
Interstate oil compact commission,
attended the congress as a repre-
sentative of the United States gov-
ernment. delivering an address
which dealt largely with conditions
in the Texas oil industry.
