Ephc- sians 5:5. OD will put up with a great many things in the human heart, but there Is one thing that He will not put up with in second place. He. who offers God a second' 1 place offers Him no: OUR TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM It is probable that the time will eome when the federal government will face the responsibility of pro- riding an adequate system of continental transportation. It already controls the waterways and provides i their upkeep.

The. great railroad systems are under the control of financiers, whose chief Interest is in the fluctuation of the stocks, No prediction as to the length of time that elapse before the element clamoring for government ownership will be successful or how the lines ought to be operated to do the greatest good can be attempted now. The conviction that federal ownership and operation may develop is not due to a desire for it on the part of any considerable number of sound business men, but it is based on the possibility of a failure to serve in a way that will be beneficial to the nation's diversified business and industrial interests, at the same time perform such service at a profit necessary to keep private ownership possible. Railroads are business enterprises nnder private ownership. They pro- Tide a service as public utilities for which they collect fares and freight rates.

Such enterprises were founded and have been operated upon the principle that successful business only could be had, provided a sufficiently wide margin between gross profits and net return could be maintained. The principle is the same in any business under private ownership. In recent years the railroads have found It Increasingly difficult to maintain a satisfying margin between gross profits and net returns. They have lost patronage to vast fleets ot motor carriers, busses and trucks. If today all the freight and all the passengers were carried in ears and coaches the railroads could, no doubt, prosper.

But year by year more trucks and busses are hauling foods and passengers over the. highways of the country, and railroad business is declining. This Is a country of progress. We go from old things to new year by year. That has been the rule.

There is no doubt but that air transportation will be developed to a point where It, too, will offer the railroads serious competition. But no one has yet shown that this country possibly can get on without railroads. The Daily Telegraph does not believe it eveT can do to. Even if busses and trucks were multiplied many times over the number now in use and air transports dot the sky, there still vould be a demand for railroads. The principal business of the trucks Is found where railroad rates are crude and not equalized, and the ability ot the trucks to haul cheaper Is due to the fact that roads are at public expense, and railroad capital contains so much water.

The Dally Telegraph ha6 con- 1 tended that wagon road costs should be met by a tax on motor vehicles IO graduated as to make users of the highways pay in proportion to that use, and those who adopt the public highway for purposes of making money should pay their full share for both privilege and advantage. The transportation problem la one of the most important influences on one, economic future. It enters into of living mgre largely than other factor, not even excepting production. The distribution ot food- Mo change has been as marked as tbe change in the celebration of our great anniversaries. The Fourth of July in its earlier observance was a day of patriotic fervor.

In nearly every community there was a program which Included the reading of tbe Declaration of Independence, patriotic music and addressee. Usually these gatherings were held in a grove and the people came from miles around, had basket' dinners and a big time. Then there were celebrations to which wagon loads of beer barrels were added, and excursions on river boats and harbor craft. Then baseball and more modern sports were added, and finally the drift set in to use the day as an Individual, family or group holiday, and with the development of the motor vehicle this became general. There la consequently a great deal of travelling about on the Fourth of July, and even so, some vestige of the spirit that made tbe occasion dear to our forefathers still remains, and has its expression in ceasing work.

This indicates the age-old hatred of toil has not abated. Tbe race believes that it cannot be happy and work at the same time, and so we 'knock off" from work and engage in tbe hardest and most trying physical exertion dragging about, camping out, hurrying to and fro, suffering from heat and dirt and dust, and Insect bite and sting. At the end ot the day we are worn out, blistered by the sun, bunged up by fireworks, exhausted from overeating, aching in every limb and generally sore but satisfied with having performed a patriotic duly by keeping the glorious Fourth. After all, the fact that from old grey-beard to new baby, all observe the day Is tbe fulfillment of a spirit that made us a free country and will keep us a free people. We believe that every public school house, every church, every lodge and club and society in the United States should hold a meeting on Independence day each year and stress the great fundamentals on which this government is founded.

OPINIONS OF OTHER EDITORS PERFECT BEHAVIOR Dr. Virgil E. DlckBon, ot the University of California, In declaring before teachers assembled at the National Education association's convention in Los Angeles that the child with perfect behavior is not normal opened up for discussion various other subjects along the same line What, for example, must one think of the so-called "perfect husband," so many women want and so few have? Or, turn it around and ask the same question about the "per feet It frequently Is heard that some thing must be the matter with the child that Is as good as good can be. Which Is to say that the child is not normal, as Dr. Dickson assorts or it would express Itself at some time in a way that no one could de scribe as perfect, Behavior in the child, of course.

Is found in varying degrees of badness Thus one child more closely 1 ap proaches perfection than does an' other. Likewise that may mean that the one making the closer approach to perfection suffers more abnormal ties than the other. Dr. Dickson was not referring to -downright mean ness. A youngster was once seen burying broken glass In the eand Asked for his reason, he craftily explained that he meant to tell some other kids to dig there with theli hands so they'd be cut by the glass His misbehavior did no indicate normal condition.

One always would have to apply common sense to any analysis, and that of Dr. Dickson is no exception. fTlHAT warning to darling daughter that she might go for a swim but could not go near the water has been paralleled in Maryland by legal advice which Is causing a great stir among the anglers ot Virginia and Weet Virginia. The attorney general of Maryland recently dusr up an old agreement revealing the state's boundary between her two neighbors to be the opposite shore of the Potomac river instead of the center of the river, as it has been commonly understood for years. If this opinion holds fishermen of the Virginias may stand on the bank of the Potomac all they please but can't cast a line Into the water without first paying Maryland- for a non -Tesldent angler's license.

By the same agreement, duck hunters this fall may build their blinds along Virginia shores but will not be able to shoot over the water without an accounting with Maryland's game department. Because of 'the controversy aroused by this opinion, Game Commissioner Earle of Maryland has invited officials of the adjoining states to a conference eaTly In July where a mutually satisfactory arrangement may be adopted. Anglers of the District of Columbia hope to be represented and to profit by the decision. There being no fishing in the District, residents must now buy the higher non-resident license for all their fishing, whether in Maryland or the Virginias. The Maryland attorney general's report, if sustained, may set other states having lake and stream boun- darie to pouring through old files.

Most states have a mutual understanding, 'however, that anglers ot either state may fish from bank to Register. A THOUGHTFUL article in one of the business magazines predicts that the United States is working toward the greatest period ot common prosperity ever to be enjoyed. It bases this assumption upon a survey of the unprecedented technical progress in the laboratories of industry. Invention and ingenuity have always raised society to higher levels, and the technical advance now going on is said to have surpassed any like developments previous. Both new products and improved standard products are on the way.

The history of American Industry has always been thus. Back in 1S37, tho introduction of the clipper, ship pulled this country out of an economic slump long before England and other maritime powers. The bicycle ended tho depression of 1893, to a large extent, as did tho automobile in 1907 and the radio In 1921. Industry is now aware that "last year's eggs won't hatch." It facturee not for placing the same goods in stock, but for Incorporating new ideas in products in advance of new market demands. Theso transitions require, of couse, slight temporary maladjustments, but everybody concerned is better off In the end.

There are now hundreds well employed in the automobile and garage industries for every blacksmith, harness maker and wagon-carriage works employee of a generation ago. The linotype was the greatest boon the printing industry ever had. The printer today has a much easier job. much shorter hours and a much better purchasing Income than had the hand- A young man arrayAl in white pantg went to see his girl at Hinton, and to keep the trousers luim'acu late he spread a paper over the automobile seat. It was a comic sec tion snd when he got out he had i very fair reprint, of Harold Teen and his flapper on the, rear expanse of his raiment.

These are but two of the many manifestations ofthis principle. The perfection of the typewriter meant that millions of women could find employment who otherwise could not have found It. The list could be continued Into columns.

That our industry Is concentrating on technical advances, and succeeding with thorn, is the best'slgn of the Wheeling Intelligencer. OHORT of another boasting Puck, where is there anybody to challenge the record established Post and GattyT Puck promised to "put a girdle around about the earth In forty minutes." The pilot and the navigator ot the Winnie Mao, girdling the eartJi above Its waistline, have circled the globe in 8 days, 15 hours and 51 minutes. Though they were shooting at the mark established by the GTaf Zeppelin in 1929, there Is not much point in comparing the two records. The Graf Zeppelin, with sixteen passengers, a crew ot thirty-three and mail and freight on board, left Lakehurst on August 8, 1929, and arrived at Lakehurst on August 29, stopping at Frledrichshafen, Tokio and Los Angeles. The elapsed time was 21 days, 7 hours and 26 minutes.

The actual. flying time was 9 days, 20 hours and 23 minutes, or a little better than a day longer than, the elapsed time of the Winnie Mae, The Winnie Mae's actual flying time, 4 days, 12 hours, indicates the Irreducible minimum of 'round-the- world travel until marked gains in airplane speed are made. It Is interesting to recall that, in 1924, the army 'round-the-world flyers, subordinating speed to accomplishment of their task with safety, flew around the world between March 6 and September 2S. In comparison with Post and Gatty, they were snail-like flyers, but they were the first to do the job of flying around the world. Thus, though and Gatty more than sliced the Graf Zeppelin's record in two, It is more rational to consider their achievement on its own merits.

Tt was a striking testimonial to the dependability of the 3931 airplane and the airplane engine. It was a moving example of endurance and skill. Probably only aviators can assess the full demands made upon the reserve forces of'the two men who kept on keeping on. It is probably stretching it considerably to call it the most remarkable achievement in the history of aviation, because there are some who believe that the superlative in aviation remarkables was performed at Kitty Hawk more than a quarter of a century ago, but the Post-Gatty flight is nevertheless deserving of most of the extravagant language that is going to be lavished on it in the next faw days. If it partook of the-nature of a stunt, so have many of the world's most glamorous deeds.

Partly because it was something of a stunt, partly because two men were pitted against all the hazards such a flight has to offer, this girdling of the globe had its educational value. The world is and has been for some years. It can still learn something about the potentialities of aviation, however, when the lesson Is put In such dramatic New York Sun. New York, July Monday morning during the hot summer season, the Manhattan newspapers report some children being lost in the Suntifiy at Coney and the Roclcawti? Now 400 children happens to be quite a few youngsters, and the job of taking care of 10,000 ot them a year is not so simple as it seems. Coney 1ms a "beach mother" who Is an old hand at keeping children amused until parents arrive.

Her name is Carrie Wlialen and she seems to be able to stop the most frightened child from cryir.a. To be sure, she promises and mama will arrive bringing nothing less than the moon. As a matter of fact, a cynical investigation made during the past few years has given the Coney police reason to believe that a vast percentage of "lost" children are deliberately lost. That is to say, parents who want a day of play nnd release from parental responsibility are not above conveniently "losing" the youngster, well aware that It will be well taken care of In the lost child department ot the famous beach resort. The process of "losing" the youngster is staged at a spot where no danger Is Involved, and the child Is certain to attract attention within a few seconds.

Whereupon, the child is immediately turned over to the authorities and, generally speaking, has such a swell time with a few hundred other youngsters that it doesn't want to go home. The parents, meanwhile, have their own pleasant outing in the surf and playing about the amusement parks. Toward the fag end of the day they show up aud claim their offspring. Those mothers and who find that a youngster has wandered away, somehow, are hysterical figr ures by the time they reach the "lost and found" department. One of Coney's minor problems this season has been that of introducing neckties to the amusement paTk dance halls.

The Coney crowd is made up of most all the ingredients of New York, a great majority coming from the East Side, the Bronx and those sections where shirt sleeves and no coat, vest or tie is worn. Saturday and Sunday afternoons are likely to be hot for quite a while now. and there have been few TUles and regulations for anything save bathing suits. It was Rex Billings, who arrived from Youngstown, this year to manage Luna park, who introduced a bright idea. Out Youngstown way things were not quite as they are at Luna.

Wherefore, Billings first dispensed with the free dance hall idea and inaugurated a 10-cent admission policy. Finally, when the necktie- less brigade kept showing up early in the season, Billings had a number of cards printed. Not wishing to embarrass a young man In the presence ot his girl friend, the card Informed the bearer that If he didn't happen to have a tie with him, the card would entitle him to a tie if accompanied by 15 cents and presented at a certain Qounter. If, at the end of the dance, the gent no longer wanted the tie, it could be turned in later on and the 15 cents refunded. So they're wearing neckties now at the Luna park pavilion, which is quite a feather in the cap for Youngstown.

AN INVESTMENT IN FUTURES IRELAND LAUGHS AT WORLD WIDE DEPRESSION MILTON BRONNER Louion, July proud of what the Irish Free Stato has accomplished, are apt these days to say that Ireland Is the happy island compared with the troubles of England. And what's more, they've got the figures to prove it. In England the tax on ordinary incomes is 4 shillings and 6 pence on the pound sterling. In other words, about $1.12 on every five dollars. In Ireland it Is only 75 cents in' the five dollar bill.

And the maximum super-tax rate is 25 percent less in Ireland than in England. Unemployment Decreases In 1930 the list of unemployed in England. Wales and Scotland grew and grew ominously until It had reached the 2,000,000 mark. In other words, it almost doubled the figures which were on the books befqre the Labor government came into power. Moreover, the government contribution to the fund has so increased that it is costing the country more than five million dollars per week.

On the other hand, in the Irish Free State in 1930 the number of persons registered under the unemployment acts fell by 50. percent compared with the 1922 figures. As the unemployment fund has a relatively small debt and is rapidly approaching solvency, by contrast to British bankruptcy, the Irish government has decided to reduce substantially the contributions paid by employers and employes under the unemployment scheme. Exports Boom Again, while Britain's export business was badly crippled and while agriculture was shot to pieces, Ireland presents rosy figures. Instead of decreasing, exports increased and were by some millions ot dollars higher than in any previous year.

In only nine other countries did the 1930 exports exceed those of 1929. They were Russia. Latvia, Yugoslavia. Lithuania, Rumania, Palestine, Hungary, Spain and Algeria. One thing which greatly helped Ireland was that it enjoyed tinued Immunity from the toot and mouth disease prevalent among the cattle in some of the neighboring countries.

Cattle, therefore, continued to be exported in great numbers without restriction or embargo. And this was tremendously important for the little country, because the Irish livestock trade constitutes the biggest factor in the export business. Last year it amounted to $90,000,000 and the exports of cattle increased by 9 percent. This more than counter-balanced the lovjer prices which the market was fetching for Irish butter and eggs. Clever Tariff System Owing to tbe fact that Great Britain is Ireland's best customer, a very clever method has adopted in handling the question pt imposing protective tariffs.

The government instituted a policy of having the tariff commission hold public examinations on each application for a new tariff. In December, 1930, the government named a full-time tariff commission composed of three trained civil servants. When there is a request for a new tariff to protect some Irish industry, the publics of Ireland and Great Britain are notified. All Interests affected are-heard by the commission and then a decision is made. It is claimed by the Irish Free State that, the 1 new tariffs established have proved effective in reducing unemployment and at the same time have not very materially increased the general cost of living which is lower in Dublin than in London or Liverpool.

And it is proudly added In necessaries, the consumption is higher than in Great Britain. One example the Irish love' to quote is that the per capita consumption of butter in the Irish Free State was 38 pounds per annum, whereas it was only 1(1 pounds in Great Britain. On the other hand, the Irish only used 3 pounds of oleomargarine per head per annum, whereas in Great Britain tbe people used. 13 pounds. It.

Screen Life In Hollywood DAILY HEALTH SERVICE EDITOR'S NOTE: This Is the third of a series of seven articles by Dr. Morris Elshbcln on "Summer Cnre of Health." In the light of new data on the proper diet, dress anil hygiene during the hot months, this series should prove particularly timely. By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association, and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine Physicians who practice in tropical zones insist that the constant high temperature has the tendency to hasten maturity and to stimulate the glands ot internal secretion. It is pointed out by Stefansson, the Arctic explorer, that Eskimo girls mature very early.

The reason for this is that living for six months of the year in huts which become so hot and so humid that the conditions resemble those that exist in the tropics. Men from the temperature zone who go to the tropics find' very soon a stimulation of the endocrine glands. This wears oft promptly, however, to be followed in several months by a depressive action. Most people notice a similar effect in the summer season. When summer weather first comes on, glandular action is stimulated but tends to be depressed later.

Because of the constant perspiration and moisture of the skin, people are more likely in hot weather to have skin infections than in cold pies, but there are also considerable amounts of what are called fungus infections, resulting in soft places between the toes in the groin and 1 similar places where skin surfaces touch, and also In the condition commonly called "athlete's foot," which spreads rapidly to other parts of the body. Any irritation of the skin in hot weather is best controlled by repeated washing and by the use of appropriate creams and powders to prevent irritation and rubbing of adjacent surfaces. Irritations break the surface of the skin and make it easier for bacteria to enter. The use of porous clothing tends to keep the surface of the skin dry and in that way to prevent the maceration that conies with constant moisture. Because ot the effects ot various chemicals on skin that has been irritated, cosmetic preparations must be used with greater care in the summer than in the winter.

Infants and small children must be kept cool in summer, but care must be taken to see to it that they are properly covered at night, particularly with changes ot weather during the night. Colds are not frequent In the warm season, but the likelihood of catching cold is always present and resistance is certainly enhanced by proper protection. In days of excessive heat the small child may be clad merely in a diaper and allowed to lie in its crib in the By HUBBARD HEAVY O'Brien doesn't mean to be stnooty about it, but he's particular about the Identity of the other fellow when he indulges in his favorite sport, boxing. The O'Brien profile, which helps support its owner, wouldn't be worth a dime If the nose were smeared all over his face, and that's just what a number of gymnasium athletes have tried to accomplish. The peculiar desire of many ama- teur glove wielders to spoil the looks of a movie actor is behind it.

First class boxers never are spurred by the craving, O'Brien says. It isn't that he minds a good fight couldn't have won the Pacific fleet 175-pound title if he he never has failed to hammer the daylights out of the smart boys who have tried to slip one over.
