INDIANA MINE HORROR FATAL TO MANY Science has done much to make mining safer. But it has not removed all the hazards from mines. Indiana has just experienced its worst underground horror. The number of deaths may be fifty or more. Gas explosion caused the disaster. This catastrophe may have been preventable, and it may not have been. Later mine horror must be judged on the circumstances and conditions which caused it. In the coal-mining region, state inspection of mines usually is thorough and safety requirements are rigid. But in mines where there are angles to entries and where there is much dust, explosions sometimes are unforeseen and non-preventable. The time may come when mines can be made safe against dust or gas explosions. Much has been done already in this direction. But the goal has not been reached fully. Do not worry about the weather. Leave it to the Almighty. He knows best and does best. ARMAMENT OF DEFENSE ONLY NEED Do not worry about the weather. Leave it to the Almighty. He knows best and does best. ARMAMENT OF DEFENSE ONLY NEED There is much agitated talk about making air power "adequate." Stress what this "adequate" means. Emphasize the fact that the United States aims to maintain armament only for defensive purposes—that adequacy means only for defense. This country has no offensive intentions, plans or purposes. It is concerned only with keeping itself safe against successful armed attack. This is the truth that ever should be uppermost in the minds and hearts of Americans. This country would take a long step toward decadence and ruin, should it ever enter upon a course of conquest and aggression. The fountains of national purpose must be kept pure and uncullied as to this. There must be no reversal of policy or purpose. The Nation must be kept to its original ideals. This country must never enter upon a course of conquest. It must never become an intimidator of other nations, and never seek to conquer or coerce any country or people. The correct course was set for this Nation by the fathers of the Republic. From the pathway they demarked there should be no straying.

HEALTH & DIET ADVICE By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH" SOME RULES ON EATING (Continued) 15. Uncooked salad vegetables are as essential to the body as the foundation stones are to a beautiful mansion, for the vital organic minerals are to be found only in these foods in any appreciable quantity. They furnish all the vitamins necessary for the body; and in fact are the only foods which contain these vitamins to any extent. Unhappy mental states paralyze digestion and when the body is under the control of fear, hatred, criticism, jealousy or any of the other destructive emotions, the food taken into the stomach acts as a direct poison to the body and although its action is generally slower, he poisoning is as sure as carbolic acid. It is the direct cause of many diseases and the contributing cause of many others. Better a banquet of inharmonious food mixtures coupled with the jo yusually present on such occasions, that the everyday gloom of the family table. Mortgage Guarantee Co. 626 So.

ATTENTIVE THREE - PROMPT ACTION - CONFERENCES INVITED WHO'S WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS CHARLES BEECHEH WARREN The career in public service of Charles Beecheh Warren of Michigan, nominated by President Coolidge for attorney general, has been wide and varied. It has brought into play his skill as a lawyer and his attainments as a diplomat. Besides acting as counsel for the government in controversies with Great Britain and as ambassador to Japan and Mexico, he law service with the army in the World War and generally is credited with having been the actual author of the selective service draft act. He was awarded the distinguished service medal by President Wilson. The ambassadorship of Mr. Warren to Japan covered the period of the Washington arms conference and his service in that time were understood to have been regarded by the Harding administration as the highest value. He was appointed in June, 1921, by President Harding, and retired in March, 1923, for personal reasons. Called to the public service again within two months by President Harding, Mr. Warren is commissioner to Mexico, with John Barton Payne, initiated the negotiations which led to the resumption of diplomatic relations with that country. Subsequently, President Coolidge appointed him ambassador to the southern republic and he served in that capacity from May, 1924, to August, 1924. Mr. Warren was first called to the service of his country in 1897 with his appointment as one of the lawyers to present to the high tribunal at Halifax the case of the United States in the controversy with Great Britain as to the rights of the two nations in the Behrling sea. In 1910 he again was chosen to represent the government before the permanent court of arbitration at The Hague in the contro- COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying PSYCHOLOGY SAVES A LIFE—San Diego Union Psychology, with its curiosity for getting at the bottom of human motives, has just saved a life in Los Angeles. Psychology has saved a great many lives, as a matter of fact, and has vaged a great deal of human happiness; but so many people still regard it as something mysterious and academic, or as something that can be peddled from a platform by a health-worth-and-happiness "lecturer" that it is valuable to stop and examine an occasional instance of psychology at work. A seven-year-old girl in Los Angeles had confessed to a series of horrible murders. Medical testimony as to the causes of death of those "murdered" persons was conflicting. The little girl told a straight story, and stuck to it. People were shocked when the affair got into the news. Not so many years ago, the confession would have been accepted at face value. In colonial times, the little girl would have been condemned as a creature without a soul, a trafficker with evil powers, and colonist Christian gentlemen would have insisted that she be destroyed. In the Los Angeles case the psychologists stepped in. They were men who had studied with interest the strange and ingenious lies that children sometimes tell, and had sought to examine and classify the motives for those lies. They did not treat the child as an unnatural imp, an inhuman monstrosity. They looked for the truth. They found that 7-year-old Elsa was merely doing a thing that many another 7-year-old is fond of doing. She was romancing it happened that a gruesome set of circumstances had been suggested to her. The only evil thing about the girl was the personality that had made the suggestions. The little girl's life was saved, because science had taken so much pain to understand people—particularly little people. GLEANINGS FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE SHOULD UNJUST LAWS BE OBSERVED Many laws upon the statute books of the various states and of the nation, are assinine and unjust. Most of us agree on that score; but we differ on the question of whether such laws should be obeyed. There is one sound argument, and one only, in favor of the strict enforcement of all laws. It amounts to this: Popular disrespect for one statute leads to disregard for others, and in some cases, for the whole body of laws. When a polity begins to lose its faith in the sanctity of the law, the foundation of society is in danger of weakening and causing the whole structure to topple. It has been said many times that the quickest way to bring about the repeal of an unjust law is to enforce it strictly and impartially. bussador to the southern republic and he served in that capacity from May, 1924, to August, 1924. Mr Warren was first called to the service of his country in 1897 with his appointment as one of the lawyers to present to the high tribunal at Haltifax the case of the United States in the controversy with Great Britain as to the rights of the two nations in the Behrling seak. In 1910 he again was chosen to represent the government before the permanent court of arbitration at The Hague in the controversy as to the claims of the United States and Great Britain in the waters of the North Atlantic. Mr. Warren is now senior member of the law firm of Warren, Cady, Ladd & Hill in Detroit, and besides his legal practice is connected with business and financial institutions. He is a native of Michigan and was graduated from the University of Michigan in 1891.

Wolves cannot hunt in packs except for the real, though unexpressed, understanding that they should not attack another during the chase. Huxley observed that the most rudimentary polity is a pack of men living under the like tacit, or unexpressed understanding; and having made the very important advance upon wolf society they agree to use the whole force of the whole body against individuals who violate it in favor of those who observe it.
