DANGER OF RED TAIL LIGHTSThe use of red for tail lights on automobiles is deI recated in an article ia the Railway Ago. This color, It is argued, should, bo restricted for use at extra-dangerous locations, such as railway crossings, boulevard rowings, and at places where material is piled in the streets. When an automobile driver follows red lights tor mile after imle. it ia said, the monotony nullifies ILeir effect as a danger signal. An accident occurred in which the chauffeur said be had been following the red lights of cars ahead, and when he approached a railway crossing he took it for grunted that the lights on tho gates were those of an automobile. He turned out to pass the supposed car, ran through the gates and was struck by a train. The use of yellow teil lights for automobiles is the remedy suggested by the Railway Age.

AN AMERICAN, YOU BET! In holding that "America" is the proper desisna-

tion for the United States of America, Secretary Hughes

follows the precedent established by his predecessor.

John Hay. In signing tho treaties in alphabetical order

the representatives of this nation appended their signatures first. It is customary to refer to our land as "America," though it is true that our national domain does not comprise all of America, even of North America. However, other sub-divisions are plainly differentiated.

Other nations bear names which leave no doubt of their location and individuality. The United Status cf America Is long and unwieldy. Our neighbors shorten it to "The States." While tho meaning may be clear the term is not euphonious and, besides that, all nations are states in the general sense. "America" fits better than any other name that can ba applied. It may imply pome assurance on our part to appropriate to our own use so wide a term, but since others do not apply it to themselves, and all know to whom it refers when It Is used, let it be 'America." Previous to the world war there may have geen some confusion as to the identity of one agroad who announced himt-elf an American. Not geiug especially versed in the geography of the western, herais-

j phere, the European might have thought the term jmeant a Brazilian cr one from any section of this side of the Atlantic. Now, however, the distinction is well

understood and there is no doubt agout Americans hailing from the United States, and none knows it better than thoe who faced American soldiers. A sug-

'ject of tho United Kingdom of Great Kritain and Ireland lis a Briton. Let a citizen of the United States of America

be officially designated as an American.

He didn't hare a stylish wife, .In social realms she didn't shine

Who followed all of fashion's fads : And never had to stand in line

With those new fangled skirts and

pads. She never beggared his accounts P.y running bills of large amounts For costly plumes and four-foot hats And fancy high-heeled shoes and spats And evening frowns of texture fair; She wore no jewels in her hair. She ne'er had a desire to skip To Europe for a summer trip.

At swell receptions dressed to kill; There was no unpaid modiste's bill. Though like all women evcryt here, She never sulked about tl-s.t fact. Rut got along with wondrous tact. The servant problem peeved her not. he never worried o'er her lot, Or caused a single family jar Because she had no touring car. And last, but not the lea.st to rcte, She didn't even want to vote.

It ia not so much what the English travelers say about us, but the r.awsty way they have of saying it, don't y'know. Reformers u;ed to rant against corsets. Now that the girls have taken to leaving them off at dances, corsets have become righteous. But the movie colonv couldn't be as had as it is sometimes pictured. TO RUTH.

TRY IT ON DAD. High school boys and girls don't know much about the news of the day, ia the latest discovery in educational circles. The Institute for Tubllc Service, which dabbles in matters of education, seems to be having tjuite a bad spell since the fact became known that only 8 small percentage cf high school students Could pass an examination in current events. And yet the institute critic finds that when the toys and girls are taught current events, as they are in certain schools, they do creditably in their examinations The logical deduction seems to be that the human mind is capable of Mckiing about so much at a time, and as the combined mass of human knowledge has assumed proportions too big to be taken in at a single gulp, the ptor high school youngster has to content himself with learning part of it at a time. To make the test fair, it may be proposed to take the high school boy's most intellectual dad and set him a program like the following: Get to school at 8 o'clock and spend four to six hours reciting to the exacting teachers. Take a half hour for exercise and a little more for meals and spend the evening translating Latin and French and solving problems in algebra and committing to memory a chapter of history. After 10 months of this sort of treatment give the old man a stiff examination, of current news. If he passes tJO per cent he will be a marvel. The fact is for years the exactions of the schools r-ave been Increasing year by year . The curriculum of the modern high school Is quite the equivalent of that given In the college of not so long ago. In consequence there 1b a period In every student's life when he may be more familiar with tho achievements of Caesar than of Pershing. Current events can be taught to young people If it can be shown to be worth while. The question is one of selection. There are limitations upen time. If not upon Intellectual capacity. For Instance we know of one child who spent half a day on Saturday and nearly all day Sunday drawing a map of Hammond biB class was ordered to get up. That's too much.

USING THE AXCongressman Martin Li. Madden, chairman cf the nouse committee on appropriations, gives democratic critics of the administration something to smoke in their pipes. In a formal statement, ha shows how rapidly the republicans have been reducing the federal expenses 6ince they came into power. He says: The republican party has made a good start. It

jcame into control of congress In 1919. The expenses

of the government In that year were over $19,000,000,000. The succeeding year the expenses were $7,500,000,000; ia 1921, 56.500,000,000; for the current fiscal year 1922, which ends June 30, next, the estimated expenditures are $4,134,000,000. That indicates a reduction in cost, doesn't it? We have $973,000,000 interest charges, $ 3 S 1 000,000 sinking fund charge and $4S9,000,000 of expenses connected with allotments, allowances, compensation, vocational training, hospitalization, insurance and payments to the department of dead cr wounded soldiers who fought in the late war, amounting In all to $1,845,000,000, no part of which existed before the war. These figures are official and beyond refute. In addition, that the democratic criticisms ar.j wholly unfounded is shown by the action of the house cf representatives upon estimates submitted to it by the budget bureau. Acting In accordance with the budget law, estimates for the executive departments were submitted to the congress in twelve different bills. Four of these bills have been acted upon by the house of representatives, and the appropriations asked reduced by $53,000,000. Twelve million dollars was cut from the budget presented by the treasury department, $25,000,000 for the postofftce budget, $10,000,000 from the budget covering all the independent governmental agencies, such as the shipping board, interstate commerce commission, federal trade oemmission, civil service commission, federal rade commission, civil service cornDistrict of Columbia. Eight more estimates remain for the consideration of the house, and it is said by those who are in a position to know that the reductions on some budgets yet to be considered will be greater than upon any of the four already acted upon.

She thought we were a lot of ill-mannered boobs, and was agreeably surprised. You'd hardly expect such courtesy here, in this bustling city," she continued.
