ing on this force would feel a special Incentive if called upon to act in the protection of the district wherein he had his home. Such a group of volunteers would, however, be of no value to any one unless properly trained and instructed in their duties. "These are some of the reasons why this opportunity for public service should appeal to every able bodied citizen who can spare the time once every two weeks to receive the instruction necessary to equip him to intelligently fulfill his duties. These are further the reasons why this appeal Is made particularly to those living in the Thirty-flrst precinct, extending from 59th to 79th street, and from Central Park to the East river. "Commissioner Woods is doing -all in his power to give the League the opportunities that it needs in the way of elementary drill, and 6uch other instruction as is essential and cannot fail to be oT interest to every 'one who volunteers. Applicants can join at -police headquarters of the Thirty-first precinct, 153 East 67th street. "Companies of the League elect their own officers."

THE FALL DOWN OF GOVERNMENT. With all statues and machinery at their command national, state and local government, save in a few sporadic instances, seems to be impotent in dealing with speculators in food, coal and other necessities, whose criminal activities may be counted as part of the terrific cost of living. We fall far behind Europe, behind many colonial dependencies. The disposition seems to be to let investigations come under the scope of federal authorities, who can be concerned invariably only where the interstate feature is concerned. But district attorneys are few and far between and the department of justice operatives working with them are not over-
plentiful. As It is they are burdened with the thousand and one details ot
probing Into election frauds, interstate commerce, Mann act, internal reve
nue and other violations. After handling such weighty fractures and keeping an eye on ordinary conspiracies, not to mention foreign activities, xhiy
have little time for anything else.
It would seem that the greatest fall down is on the part of state, county and municipal authorities. They seem, save in a few large cities, to
be helpless. Take last summer In these parts where men engaged in the
ice business, most of them temporarily, gouged the poor by robbing them
by means of high prices. The rascals found good example from big business and only let up when there were signs of a municipal depot. But
while the poor bad their troubles alleviated, in one community there was
every indication of a conspiracy to raise prices, a matter that should have
engaged the attention of authorities other than those of the federal branch
Yet there keeps up needlessly high and varying prices for coal, butter, eggs and other commodities. A sense of devilish greed seems to have come over
many purveyors and producers. And here in America, while we are helpless, we see relief had in Ger
many. Austria, Russia, France. England and Australia where food authorities dictate the 6upply and regulate the price. It is essential socialism and
it works out very happily. In Australia where a food commission operates,
much like our own interstate commerce body, it has the sole authority to say whether prices shall be Increased. In the meantime the pressure keeps up in this country where the war situation that is bad enough is augmented by undoubted criminal conspiracies. Its persistence will either lead to great unrest or It will quicken the cause of socialism or its saner idealism, government control. In any event, if conditions get worse and wages do not rise to meet increasing co3ts an impatient and mulcted people may storm the food Bastiles of America.
INDIANAPOLIS LOOKS TO GARY. Japan is to adopt the Wirt, or. Gary, plan in conducting the schools of that country, thus providing educational facilities for many thousands of school children without increasing taxes. And here's Indianapolis, with the Gary plan at its door, waiting until New York City and other places, and even faraway Japan, adopt the scheme before taking the matter up.
Yet the Indianapolis school situation very definitely demands the use of the Gary plan. Indianapolis Daily Times. . " .

EUGENICS, THE DIVELL! Here's something for those who never took any stock in the eugenics stuff. Prize winning three and a half year old baby in New York contest has a brother, somewhat younger, who won in two previous contests. When born, the elder, the girl, weighed 12 pounds, the boy 9 pounds. Both are perfect normal children. Their mother is a healthy young woman. "There!" exclaimed a woman onlooker at the baby contest to her friend. "That's the result of having eugenic parents. Look at her now, would you? And her husband ah, I'd like to see him. He's as big as a house and as strong as an as. I'll bet a policeman probably." But is he? The Sunday editor of the New York World sent out a reporter to interview the eugenic father of the prize winning babes. Reporter wrote thusly: "He was a little, dry wisp of a man, not more than five feet in height, built like the blade of a knife, and weighs less tnan 90 pounds." Let eugenists explain!
Enjoy life! Don't get bilious, sick, headachy and constipated. .
Get rid of bad breath, sour stomach, coated tongue, indigestion.
Oet a 19-eent box now. They're fine: Cascarets liven your liver, clean your thirty feet of bowel and sweeten your stomach. Ton eat one or two, like candy, before going to bed and in the morning your head is clear, tongue is clean, stomach sweet, breath right and cold gone. Oet a box from your ' druggist and enjoy the nicest gentlest liver and bowel cleansing you ever experienced. Caaearets stop sick headache, biliousness, Indigestion, bad breath and const! pat'. on. Mothers should give a whole Caecaret to cross, bilious, sick, feverish children any time. They are harmless ind never grrpe or sicken.
VOLUNTEER POLICE.
New York offers us a good suggestion in the way of a volunteer police
force volunteers who will not be pledged to serve In labor troubles. The Idea i3 to have a home auxiliary, one which would aid the police In time of a big disaster and undertake duties which citizens would find it difficult if not Impossible to perform. Military drill will be furnished by army or national guard officers. The plan is one that could be adopted by smaller communities. The Tsew York Evening Post in connection with the plan says'"The acute tension prevailing In this city last spring, as a resuit of our strained international relations, brought out a ready response In every precinct to Commissioner Woods' appeal for a volunteer force to fulfill the duties of the police in case of an emergency. With less tension has come such a falling off in members at the regular meetings as to make it doubtful, in the Thirty-first precinct - at least, whether there was sufficient Interest to maintain exist-" . ence of the Home Defence League. The reasons' for the organization and maintenance of Buch a body are as real as when it was first called into existence, even though the occasion for its immediate use seems less imminent. "It is obvious to all that the interests of the city will be better safeguarded," if, with the police called suddenly to some outlying; district, there is a competent and well trained body of men avail-, able to fill their place. It was further realized that every one serv-
