FATAL SPEEDING GIVEN PRISON TERM Reckless speeding which results in serious or fatal injury to the victim or victims of the dangerous driving, is criminal, and the guilty driver should be prosecuted criminally. Up at Santa Rosa a citizen was convicted of manslaughter and was sentenced to ten years in state prison for running down a 1-year-old boy and injuring him fatally. The boy lived almost a year with a broken back, but died from the effects of the injury. There must be a legal cheek to driving which endangers human life. The guilty driver who, by recklessness, injures or kills should be held to stern accountability in the criminal courts. This is just. No other course would be. To tolerate and extenuate offenses of this nature would be to put a premium on them, and make a shambles of the streets and high ways. Perils are serious enough, heaven knows, with careful driving. There should be no toleration of careless driving. Economy in government; businesslike management of governmental affairs—these are especially to be desired. The people should have all relief possible from the burdens of taxation. BRITISH GOVERNMENT TO GO TO PEOPLE Britain's first Labor Government has sustained a defeat in the House of Commons which calls for a dissolution of Parliament and an appeal to the country. The government chose to treat the action of a combination of Conservative and Liberal votes on a test question as being a vote of censure. The action devolved around demand by Conservatives and Liberals BRITISH GOVERNMENT TO GO TO PEOPLE Britain's first Labor Government has sustained a defeat in the House of Commons which calls for a dissolution of Parliament and an appeal to the country. The government chose to treat the action of a combination of Conservative and Liberal votes on a test question as being a vote of censure. The action involved around demand by Conservatives and Liberals that a select committee investigate the course of the Attorney-General, Sir Patrick Hastings, in withdrawing prosecution in the case of the Communist, James E. Campbell, acting editor of the Workers' Weekly, charged with inciting His Majesty's forces to sedition. This, hep, becomes the issue upon which the political organizations in Britain will divide in a general parliamentary election. The outcome of this test of strength will be awaited with keen interest on this side of the Atlantic, as well as in Europe. The Labor Government, headed by Ramsey MacDonald, has had a picturque career, stormy at times, but weathering the gales of opposition which blew against it, until this latest test of strength. This does not necessarily mean the defeat of the Labor Government. The voters of Britain must decide whether it is to be a defeat, or whether the present government shall have a vote of confidence from the country. The skies continue to brighten in Europe. The reparations settlement is bringing a long train of good in its wake. There will be tragedies at grade crossings so long as there are grade crossings. One thing is certain about national politics this year—all the predictions cannot come true. It is the uncertainty in baseball that makes the game so interesting.

PARAGRAPHS By ROBERT QUILLEN If a man can't say "no," he has no business running a drug store. The only sun spots that really cause anxiety and despair are peckles. If he believes in protection, he may be a Republican. Or he may be a bootleger. Dohn't blame the rich. The unusual cause of war is the fecundity of common people. Free people are those who cuss opposition candidates and later pass their own choice. You can't tell by the speed of the car whether the hooch is in the tonneau or the driver. Usually the man with that untied look has six daughters who know how to say, "Charge." Good neighbors and a good direction are similar. You are never aware of them. A man never realizes how old it seems until some young fellow offers him a seat. If travel doesn't broaden one in her particulars at least it broadens the feet. The things that make it hard believe the world is growing better are bell-bottom trousers. Some prodigal college boys blow their money for clothes when they aren't a single ukelele. It seems strange that all used cars were driven by old men who ever got off the pavement. A hick town is a place where mebody always invites the teacher home for dinner. Still, it may be possible that effective glands cause children. ABE MARTIN WHO'S WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS WM. BOYCE THOMPSON In the list of the varied interests of William Boyce Thompson there is none that gives on its surface a clue to his latest one, the Thompson Institute of Plant Research, in New York, which has just begun its work. The institute, founded by Mr. Thompson alone is dedicated primarily to the purpose of enabling America to feed her doubled or trebled population a century hence. He was born in the little mining town of Virginia City, Mont. When he was 10 or 12, the family moved to Butte. He was educated as a mining engineer. He was one of the first directors of the Federal Reserve Bank in New York and is a director of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. He has been active in Republican politics, and was chairman of the ways and means committee in 1920. In 1921 he represented the United States at the centennial celebration of Peruvian independence. He was a member of the advisory committee to the American delegation at the Arms Conference at Washington. Much of Col. Thompson's fortune was made in mines, though he later became interested in railroads, oil, chemicals and automobiles. But the investments out of which he seems to get the most fun are those which yield no income in money. He has been known as the "angel" of many a Republican campaign. He gave $100,000 in one sum to Belgian relief during the war. When he was sent to Russia as head of the American Red Cross Mission with the commission of lieutenant colonel, he spent a substantial part of his fortune trying to keep Russia in war. The amount was reported at the time to be $1,000,000, but Col. Thompson denied this. When the National Woman's party was picketing the White House, he offered them $100 for every picket who went to jail, and as the total was only $9700, the colonel, with financier's liking for round numbers, made it $10,000.

The bus was crowded and the occupants were listening with interest to a high-toned conversation of two syllably dressed women, one of whom was accompanied by a small boy. Soon everyone knew that the speaker had recently moved into a "larger house, farther west." "Do you know, dear," she said, "we had such a trying time getting things into order on the last occasion we moved that this time we just handed the house over to a furniture store company and they did everything. My husband and I went touring until things were in order." At this point the small boy shouted, "Look, mummy, look!" "Such an observing child!" smiled his mother.

"FARM CRISIS REMEDY LIES IN APPLICATION OF SOUND ECONOMIC PRINCIPLES" "Causes of the agricultural crisis are predominately economic and the remedy lies in an application of sound economic principles rather than in pursuit of political panaceas." So declared Walter W. Head, retiring president of the American Bankers' Ass'n, recently. "The American Bankers' Ass'n believes this. Thoke who thought otherwise, those who undertook to devise some form of political cure-all, tried in vain to reach an agreement even among themselves as to either cause or remedy. Meanwhile, substantial relief has come through the operation of natural economic laws." "I would not for a moment—and do not—condemn all legislation which may be proposed for the relief of agriculture. Political action has its proper sphere, but its efficacy is limited to the removal of artificial obstacles which interfere with the normal functioning of economic principles. Legislation may help to keep open the revenues through which economic law is free to operate, but it cannot do more. It may temporarily accelerate or temporarily retard the ebb and flow of economic tides. It will alleviate, but it cannot cure. We must be watchful that the legislative palliative does not—like a sleep-inducing drug—leave us to be victimized by a disaster greater than that which we seek to avoid. Applies to Entire Field "The necessity that economic problems be solved by economic remedies—rather than by political tampering—applies to the entire field of commerce, industry and finance." "Next to improvement in the basic industry of agriculture, our greatest encouragement is the tendency toward political, economic and social stability in Europe." COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying PREVENTIVE OF OAK POISON—Stockton Record The many persons who cannot enjoy the hills and mountains or an outing which takes them where there may be fear of poison oak for fear of being poisoned by it will read with interest that a sure preventive as well as cure has been announced by the National Research Council of Washington, D.C. The discovery is credited to a Californian, Dr. McNair, of the University of California, and the scientific steps through which the remedy was found are interesting. The victim who has burned and suffered an attack of poison oak will prefer to skip the technicalities and take a short cut to the cure. It is simply a five per cent, solution of ferric (iron) chloride in a half and half mixture of alcohol and water or glycerine and water. This solution rubbed on the face and hands freely either before or immediately after going into a region where the poison oak is, or where it is suspected to have been insured that no evil results will follow. The same simple solution isferred as a cure, except that the poisoned part is to be treated as a burn and the air excluded after the application and drying of the skin. Melted paraffin brushed over, a thin sheet of cotton applied and this also impregnated with paraffin is suggested. Dr. McNair, in his laboratory experiments disposed of some sacred beliefs about the ways in which the poison may be carried. Only by direct contact with the sap or with something that has rubbed against the plant can it be "taken" he insists. That it is a volatile poison which may be in the air or carried in smoke when the poison oak or ivy is burned the scientist denies, and gives the scientific steps which led to the conclusion. Particles of leaf in the soot are what carry the poison in such instances, he maintains. Probably before the next picnic and outing season Californiaans will have forsoffen all about this comforting discovery unless the formula is jotted down. If it works it will be a blessing to the people that spend so much of their time outdoors. BILLY WHISKERS BY FRANCES TREGO MONTGOMERY Yesterday Stubby chased the cat who was acting with him for the motion picture. In the meantime Button and the white cat, Dalay, who were chained and tied to invisible upright wires to make them look as if they were standing on their hind legs and, incidentally, to keep them from running away, were having a cat fight all by themselves, but for the moment no one was paying any attention to them. It began in this way: Dalay, feeling most uncomfortable in a hat from her face; the other ripped her dress from neck to hem. She gave a howl of pain and rage and then, quick as a flash, struck back at him. Then the fight was on. They bit, scratched, clawed each other. And had not Nick come in just then and heard them splitting and yowling, and picked up Dalay's finery and carried it away out of Button's reach.

THE CHILD IN THE GARDEN When to the garden of untroubled thought I came late, and saw the open door, And wished again to enter, and explore The sweet, wild ways with stainless bloom inwrought, And bowers of innocence with beauty fraught. It seemed some purer voice must speak before I dared to tread that garden loved of yore. That Eden lost unknown and found unsought Then just within the gate I saw a child— A stranger child, yet to my heart most dear— Who held his hands to me and softly smiled With eyes that knew no shade of sin or fear: "Come into the said, "and play awhile with me; I am the little child you used to be."

Yesterday Stubby chased the cat who was acting with him for the motion picture. In the meantime Button and the white cat, Daisy, who were chained and tied to invisible upright wires to make them look as if they were standing on their hind legs and, incidentally, to keep them from running away, were having a cat fight all by themselves, but for the moment no one was paying any attention to them. It began in this way: Daisy, feeling most uncomfortable in a blue dress with white stitching, and little black slippers, to say nothing of a cute little yellow straw hat trimmed with tiny pink roses, which was tied under her chin, began to wriggle and squirm out of her clothes. In so doing she happened to throw out her paw with her nails sticking out, and they struck Button across the nose, giving him a deep scratch. She could not see what she was doing, as in her struggles to get loose she had pushed her hat over her eyes. But Button did not notice this. He was busy trying to get out of his own clothes. Feeling a stinging pain on his nose and hearing Dalay spitting and growling, he thought she was angry at him and had done it on purpose. Now in most cases Button was a very gallant cat and would not have struck a lady cat for all the world. But this was an unusual occasion. He was not only hot, but furious, too, at being tied. Consequently before he thought, he struck at her with both forepaws. One dragged the hat from her face; the other ripped her dress from neck to hem. She gave a howl of pain and rage and then, quick as a flash, struck back at him. Then the fight was on. They bit, scratched, clawed each other. And had not Nick come in just then and heard them splitting and yowling, and picked up Dalay's finery and carried it away out of Button's reach. I afraid there would have been nothing left of the two cats in the buttons off their clothes and a few bunches of fur to tell the story. It really was a shame, for Button looked too cute in a black suit, white vest, high stovepipe hat, boutonnière, and a monocle stuck in one eye. And Dalay was very funny when she turned her head to look at him, just as if she was a shy young lady. Why in the world did Stubby start all this trouble by barking and chasing the old cat? It was because as he passed her she hunched her back and struck at him with her forepaw. The bunch burst all the buttons off the back of her dress, and when she stepped on the front of the skirt it fell off, and she gave a bound, landing on Stubby's back, and then she began to claw him. Pew of the men in the studio saw this, and the others thought it was just the natural thing for a dog to chase a cat. (Billy gets into more trouble in the next story.) One way to reduce is to nurse all apparent trouble.
