P. PHOTO 1 One of These Boys Is Named Jackson Furniture Co. Why waste money on anything so elaborate? A firing squad is much cheaper than a submarine, and its use for this purpose is much less likely "to be attended with danger to other people. If there are to be any shock troops, men are needed in them1 who can fight not wheezy parliamentarians, who would need a derrick to hoist them out of the trenches, and a caddy to carry their "What use would a submarine be, manned by aft apoplectic king, "his grand -jnother and his granddaughter? If men who vote for war deserve death stand them against wall and shoot them! Then the government can be turned over to pacifists, who will disband the armies and surrender the country to the enemy. If this is what wanted, this is the way to do it.

THE first thing to do about war Is not to have It. But the next thing, if you do have it. Is to win it. To that end, you need men In the front line who can fight, men in command who -can command, and men in government who can govern, it is nothing to the point that "old men make wars, and young men fight them." That is the order of nature: each to the task he can do best. Old men manage railroads, too, while young men run the risks, coupling cars.

Old men organize air routes; young men ny tne planes. It is nothing against the of a ship that he does not shovel coal in the stoke hole. Probably he is not a Good shoveler; at any rate, the ship is much safer with him than with a stoker on the bridge, Yotu can not stop wars by killing the 'old men who make them, but, if you must try that crazy scheme, do it harmlessly, against the wall, and not by putting obese invalids where fighting athletes are needed. 0 a PREMIER MACKENZIE KINO, of Canada, reports that' "Europe has returned to normalcy." Which signifies, anion? things, that President Hard- Ja vocabulary has been natural-'d in. Canada.

To realize how rapid this Drocess ias been in Europe, compare the state of our own reconstruction. years after the Civil war. Ours iwas no victory overa foreign foe, i tearing down andBenin un new nations; but a mere dispute among ourselves, re-establishing our own iunlty. years after Appo- mairox, Boutn was still under rarpej-pag or Negro rule; the bloody shirt" was the most potent political slogan in the North, and tie ruthless policy of "thorough" ruled in Congress. Grant, the war general, was President, and even he could not curb the truculence presidency of its beginnings of reconciliation, had not come.

Those of us who remember that time recall it as a. period of bitterness and uncharlty. Europe may be slow, but not so slow as we were. HT are we so squeamish about avowing higher motives for anything. Even Community Chest drives stress the greater cheapness of caring for children now than of feeding and guarding them in the penitentiary later.

The Iowa State university clinic for crippled children is advertised, quite truthfully, as good investment- And now comes Dr. I. H. Goldberger, director of hygiene 'Tor the New York Board of Ew cation, and defends the free eye examination In the schools, on the ground that it saves money. It costs the taxpayers ISO a term to keep a child in the New York schools.

If one of them "repeats" because of bad eyes, that is $60 extra. It Is cheaper to examine his eyes. Of course, this argument does rot reflect the personal attitude of anybody who makes it. Dr. Goldberger, for Instance, would, be for saving children's eyesight, even If it cost 1 50.

instead of saving that amount. The Community Chest workers would consider their agencies worthwhile, even If they were a bad instead of a good investment. A crippled child restored-to health and activity is a human gain, not to be measured In the money it costs or saves. Every" one, engaged In the work knows that. What they Thean Is that they are not so sure that we know.it.

Possibly they are right. Tha law- i i Clay, 13th and 14th Street FiCIZZZZZZZ KVa, taaWaaaaaWaaaMaaaWsal C- -J I After Our PASSAIC, Kpv. 7. The Calvert family here is One of the first in the United States- to blossom out with a baby named after the president-elect. When Mrs.
