WHITE CARS CHECKING CRASHES We do not agree with Governor Earle's recently an- nounced decision to replace half the white cars on the highways with unidentified vehicles. His reported charge that motorists are taking advantage of the easily recog- nized policé cars by slowing down from a breakneck speed when they encountered, only to step on the gas again when they're left behind, doesn't seem to be entire- ly born out by the accident figures. The sight of white cars on the road is unquestion- ably effective in curbing speeders, and that is what they were planned for. The observance of the writer in follow- ing a white car on the Bald Eagle highway from Union- ville to Tyrone, one afternoon recently, is fully convine- ing of this fact. While the legal speed limit is fifty miles an hour, not one motorist attempted to pass the “ghost” car, although it was traveling at a 35-mile rate. Al of which goes to show that the road laws will only be obeyed by all classes of motorists when there is some- thing in sight to curb them. We believe it would be a step backward to put a coat of black, green or brown paint on a white motor police car. It’s a reversion to the “soft- shoe” svstem of the past. Plainly marked cars curb reck- less driving, Anonymous cars trap unwitting motorists. Do we want more law observance and fewer accidents or more arrests? Our sugestion would be to place more white cars on the highways. the paid became y of Relatiy Ans tirely mathematical 1 tronomy Ts il is an ent nf nhveles heory worked out wit time and motion.

That the United States, as the largest and most powerful nation on the continent, must set the example and exhibit rare forbearance, is apparent. This nation is earnestly seeking to promote and develop good feeling in this hem- isphere and it is worth noting that Secretary Hull, in his address, outlined the principles upon which peace must be built, He listed the right of each nation to conduct its own affairs, free from outside interference; the principles of sovereignity and equality of nations, irrespective of size and strength; sincere respect for law and the pledged word, scrupulous observance of treaty obligations; friendly and cooperative effort in promoting peace; mu- tually beneficial economic intercourse, based upon the rule of equal treatment. There can be little doubt that if the nations of Eur- ope were following the principles briefly enunciated above by the American Secretary of State, the continent of Europe would not now be facing a terrible war. The same principles would, undoubtedly, have avoided the con- flict between Japan and China. They will insure solidarity among American Republics if followed sincerely by the United States and the other nations on this side of the you expect papoose, John?” queried the druggist grunted the chief. “No gotum squaw yet” the United That Nonsensical Census working in a certain town when he came 0 a with children of Indiana rvriniin tal 4 3 A ornsus taker gest man hoid- tenement literally “"Nadam™ said he 0 the census taker.

The American, John D. Honeyeombe, of Los Angeles, says he saw more than two hundred planes at one time bombing and’ strafing the Government lines. He exclaim- ed, “That man Franco has everything!” His opinion was that the Government's army is through and that the war is lost as far as the Government is concerned, “Most of us came to Spain,” he said, “to fight for ideals. That's why I came for but when you see boys vou have worked and played with being slaughtered, it shakes your ideals.” Undoubtedly, this citizen is right. He left his coun- try to go into a foreign land to fight for ideals. He has seen fighting. He knows what it means in broken bodies and dead men. No wonder his idea of war as a means of accomplishing something for his idea has been shaken. DEAD MEN'S EYES Restored sight for 250,000 blind persons in the United States is proposed by Dr. Martin I. Green, of San Fran- cisco, who would transfer the cornea sections from the eves of newly-dead persons to the eyes of living patients, The operation, he says, must be performed within twen- ty-four hours of death. While the purpose is entirely humanitarian, it will probably be some time before the public generally accepts the right of society to take cornea sections from the dead. It is very probable that at least the previous consent of the individual, or of his survivors, will be required. Meanwhile, from San Quentin prison, in California, comes the news that Alfred Kessel, sentenced to death, has bequeathed the cornea of his left eye to the Rev. U. E. Harding, of Portland, Oregon. The condemned man took this action after receiving a letter from the minister who is threatened with blindness, " LAXATIVES CAN BE DANGEROUS Urging that men, women and children “respect their intestines” and not use laxatives “on the slightest prov- ocation,” Prof. Reginald Fitz of the Boston University School of Medicine, calls attention to the large number of unnecessary deaths from appendicitis despite the fact that it is an easily recognizable disease. Dr. Fitz is the son of the Boston physician, who in 1886, recognized appendicitis as a distinct medical en- tity. He believes that the appendicitis toll today is too high, because of death caused by the unwise use of laxa- tives. People, for some reason, when they feel a pain in their intestines, grab a laxative with the idea that this is a cure-all. While a pure laxative usually does no harm, it may cause serious injury in the case of appendicitis. It is nec- essary, therefore, for ple to recognize that before re- sorting to a laxative they should consult a physician to determine whether they have appendicitis or not. COAL FOR 3,700 YEARS We recall that not so many years ago, one of the worries that beset us was the fear that the supply of coal would give out and that the world would have to look to the sun for a source of energy. It now appears that this fear was unfounded. Ac- cording to a report on “The World Coal Industry” that the International Labor Office is preparing, the world reserves of anthracite and bituminous coal will last thirty-seven Saituries at the average annual extraction rate for 1925- 1935. The report puts the world’s coal reserves at 4,600,000 million metric tons, with about half of it in the United States. Although the United States has the highest total reserve, is also the highest extraction rate, but even so, reserve, at the present rate of extraction, is be good for 3,686 years. ocean. Certainly the results lieve that the best interests of all our honest attempt on the part so far encourage us to be- sople require an of the United States to ad- here closely to them in its future dealings with its sister nations.
