SPIRAL, NOT JAGGED. There is no question of a third term for a man who has only been nomin- ated and elected once. If not President Coolidge, WHO for the Republicans? That question in- terests Washington. Three names in- teresting the wise are Secretary Mel- lon, Secretary Hoover and and Frank Lowden, of Illnois. Secretary Mellon, older than the two others, is young e- nough to manage admirably after-the- war finances for this nation and to work nine hours a day at his office. Herbert Hoover has worked like a slave on development of natural re- sources, including the Boulder Dam, and waterways from Great Lakes to ocean and the gulf. The country ap- preciates that. Governor Lowden, a practical for- mer, has millions of farmers with him. But the main question is: Does President Coolidge want the nomination ? : If he does, it is his. Montana’s senate last week voted in favor of the constitutional amend- ment against child labor. The amend- ment may be lost, child labor being profitable, and profits hard to give up. But it is comforting to see de- cency here and there. In the end, of course, the amendment would help ev- ery state, just as the end of slavery helped all—including states that had the greatest sacrifices to make. Child labor cheats grown men and women of work and cheats the next generation of its chance in life, to say nothing of mocking Christ’s warning, “Their angels do always behold the face of My Father, which is in hea- ven.” Child labor sends plenty of little an- gels to verify that text. There are fine women in America. of California took up swimming to re- duce. Last week she swam the Catal- ina channel, her eleven year old boy crying out to her, “Come on, mama, don’t give up.” When she finished the swim, the thirty year old mother was delirious, partly paralyzed and had been bitten four times by savage bar- racuda. Too bad that such a woman should waste her marvellous vitality on a battle that pleases the morbid but does no good. The nation could afford to pay her to have 21 children instead of swimming 21 miles in icy water. Bernard Shaw says mothers should be paid for having children and adds, “I would not have a baby for less than $10,000.” He underestimates it. If he were a woman, with only a man’s courage, and had ONE baby, he wouldn’t have another for a million dollars. France builds dozens of tiny air- planes, smallest in the world; every french submarine will carry one. One of these submarine airplanes rose from the water nine seconds after the submarine reached the surface, went up 2,000 feet, descended and went ab- oard the submarine again. A fleet of submarines coming up near a big city, discharging its swarm of mosquito like airplanes, each car- rying its gas or explosive bomb, could make the next war interesting. The “jagged” lightning, making ‘sparks” in the sky is not jagged at all, Mr. Legg, Westinghouse engin- eer, shows with photographs, 150 times faster than motion picture cam- eras, that the lightning bolt is a spir- al. That interests those who know that the spiral, as opposed to the cir- cle, is the emblem «f progress.

Don’t neglect colds but don’t be panic strieken when told that Europe’s influenza epidemic may come here. A wise doctor has said, “The best thing to take for a bad cold is two days,” which means two days of complete rest in bed, at an even temperature, drinking much water ,eating as littie as possible. DR. APPEL WARNS AGAINST DRUG HABITS “A health problem which as yet has not received its full and deserved con- sideration by the general public is that dealing with narcotics,” said Dr. Theodore B. Appel, Secretary of Health in an interview today. “The drug and the traffic connected there- with is definitely increasing. Unfor- tunately the majority of the addicts become such through ignorance of the power of opium and other habit pro- ducing drugs and the abjec slavery which they produce. “Narcotic drugs under no ecircum- stance should be used except under the direction of a reputable physican. The fact that immense quantities of raw opium are produced and in turn manufactured into morphine, heroin, and other opium derivatives indicates that a tremendous commerce is involv- ed in this world-wide traffic inasmuch as only a small fraction of the poppy product is actually required for legiti- mate medicinal purposes. “The Department’s Bureau of Drug Control has many pathetic cases on file indicating that addiction, which results in misery and suffering for its victims and their families, is no respector of classes. Contrary to gen- eral opinion, the drug habit is by no means limited to those of ‘the sub- merged tenth.’ The enslaving drugs strech their unhealthy arms around the general population and too fre- quently, through traffickers, fasten their cluch upon the unsuspecting and innocent. “In addition, the average addict is like a focus of contagious disease. On- ly too often he seems to consider him- self as a man with a mission to dis- seminate his own unfortunate habits. “America is being assailed by opium with Asia as a base; by cocaine with South America as a base and by her- oin and synthetic drugs with European base. Unscrupulous people within our country join with this outside traffic and thus strike at the very heart of our life and prosperity. “Without knowledge of this peril young people may fall easy victims to this highly organized and vicious exploitation. Parents must instruct their children to refuse all powders pills offered by strangers or even fri- ends. Instances are on record where young pupils have been campletely demoralized and become addicted to heroin because of the insinuating ad- vances deliberately made by peddlers and addicts. Dance halls also are fre- quently visited by these criminals who THE PATTON COURIER Beautiful in Chevrolet History . ~a host of improvements New AC Air Cleaner New AC:Qil Filter New Bullet-type Lamps Full Crown Fenders New 17-inch Steering eel New Fisher Bodies New Larger Radiator New Gasoline Gauge New Door Handles New “Fish-Tail” Modeling New Tire Carrier New Pedal Closure New Transmission New Universal Joint Seal Ey ; hevrolet amazingl, reduced ini] The Coach 3505 »s The Coupe . 3625 The Sedan $695 The Landau , $7 4 5 New Windshield 3 Pillars Come in and see these strikingly beautiful models CHRISTOFF MOTOR SALES Patton, QUALITYAT LOW COST thus make addicts from young people, who, in an adventurous spirit ‘try it. “Education is the only weapon now exisiting against this peril.

For the week ending February 12, the loadings in the Central Pennsyl- vania field amounted to 21,389 cars as against 20,701 cars the previous week. Production up to February 12. was 38,547 cars and the loadings for the same period in January were 29,720 cars, or a gain of 8,827 cars for this month in the two-week period. Operators of this district are not respresented at the Miami eonference, but are awaiting development and if any agreement may be reached, al- though the possibility is regarded as remote, they no doubt will be asked to join in the wage settlement as they were with the Jacksonville scale.
