What the Wreck of the Roma May Teach The destruction of the Roma, with a loss of 34 lives, and the wreck of the ZR-2, which killed a number of American service men, has caused the public to wonder if if is not time for the
government tomake its own aircraft or have them constructed under official American supervision. V 1' . . ' i.,-.. ' , .
The ZR-2 was built in England and the Roma
was recently taken over from the Italian govern
ment. , No one will accuse these governments of
deliberately putting poor material into the airships or of slighting them from a structural standpoint, because officials of both Great Britr ain and Italy were in the craft when they were on trial trips and consequently were exposed to the same hazards as the ones which confronted the Americans. , ' Accidents are hard to prevent, especially in field which is so comparatively new as is that of aircraft navigation; but when they destroy the lives of our officers and men it is time that the government itself seriously considered the problem of designing and constructing the vehicles in which its representatives are to risk their lives. Officials of the army say that the recent disaster will not deter them from continuing the aircraft program.' The public will not find fault with this announcement, for air defenses are essential and aeronautics should not be dropped because of accidents. The collapse of two airships, however, with heavy losses of life, .suggests that this type of aircraft may never be perfected to the point where it 'will be a reliable carrier.
denies, a four-day institute will add to its attractiveness and popularity. 1 Modern farmers must study many phases of agriculture, both from a production and marketing standpoint, requiring first hand and technical knowledge. This is supplied in an excellent manner by speakers at the short courses and demonstrations showing how the knowledge is to be applied successfully on-the farm. , A farmer feels that 'he must acquire new methods wand keep posted on the important developments in his industry. Part of this information he obtains through books, but a large part is also acquired by Raving experts show him how to carry out new methods in his work.

What is the Matter? A certain father here is takinghis young son out of a Richmond public school and sending the lad to a private school for boys in another city. He gave the following reasons : "My boy is old enough at twelve and bright enough in other respects to know how to spell. The other evening I had him read to me a paragraph from a newspaper article. ' He couldn't pronounce properly half the words he read. Then I tried him on spelling. He couldn't spell correctly half dhe words in that paragraph. Then I tried him on the , meaning of the words. He didn't know the meaning of half of, those words. Consequently I am going to send him to a preparatory school where he will be taught at least the rudiments of learning." Another man who heard this conversation said, "I have two boys'. One is eight and the other ten. Neither one can spell. I remember when I was a boy in the primary grade, Julia Test made a pretty fair speller out of me by the end of the first year." The writer of ihis editorial also began his lessons in spelling under the guidance of Miss Test. The methods' then in vogue have since 'saved him many a trip to the dictionary. As a business man as well as an editor, he has learned that results as well as means count; that results show whether the means are right. If the cases mentioned above are not exceptional, and the editor knows these three boys
personally and can vouch that they are not in the least mentally defective, if other parents of the community are noticing the same shortcomings in the quality of education their children are evincing, with all kindness to them, the school authorities might explain just what kind of future citizens they think they are helping to develop out of children who can neither spell, pro-

A few minor articles brins the total up to $156. Can you imaeine any beauteous flapper flapping through an entire year in two pairs of shoes costing $8.75? Can you, in fact, imagine any of them looking at a single pair costing leis than $12? Eight pairs of stockings tor $6? Cuckoo! Six bucks will just about yield one pair and not a snappy pair at. that. Coat to last two yers, for, $22.50. The. dear old gentlemen making up the. commission will have to go into executive session and revise the list and increase the appropriation to $1,156, and, even at that, they will have few customers.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take lt,?"'Up" . " - SELF-STARVATION It isn't the amount of food one eats that gives strength, vigor and real nourishment to the body but the variety and selection of what ' one eats. Great progress has been made in the understanding of foods so that now by eating certain things one may grow heavy in weight or take off weight. The body is a chemical proposition. Now the mind and heart are each built much upon the same plan as the body and must be given a balanced ration. But the foods to be given them are of a higher order. The mind must have its mental food, and the heart its spiritual ration. I met a friend the other day whom I had not seen for years. When I last saw him he was of that buoyant, happy, rollicking type. But now such a change as had come about! His body looked as strong and healthy as ever. But his mental and spiritual life seemed a crushed thing, so that even material prosperity looked dull indeed to him. My friend had self-starved his higher nature. A healthy mind and heart will do more to keep the body machine healthy and happy than anything else. I often think of that statement made by some great writer who said that if he had two loaves of bread, he would sell one and buy white hyacinths to feed his soul. What a line of masterpieces, in both literature and art, have been produced from floating sunsets, from rose gardens, from fertile plains and long stretching mount-iin ranges, from smiling streams, from playing children, from echoing chords of music and white hyacinths! It seems that self-starvation is all too frequent. Feed your mind and soul every day. And be sure to give them foods that build, that eliminate worry and destruction, that retain youthful vision, r Keep enlarging your horizon of appreciation. . Get away from your own little world. Set out upon expeditions of discovery, until you find YOURSELF1

Rippling Rhymes By Walt Mason
THE OLD PROMISE New statesmen rise, at every shift, and seem as slick as wax; of fluent tongues they have the gift, and they denounce the tax; if they're elected they will lift the burden from our backs. Oh, we are taxed, we helpless skates, our load is sad to see, and ever grjeater grow the weights that cripple you and me; but there are always candidates who'd gladly set us free. We listen to these breezy chaps, who flay the taxlist crimes, and give them all the public snaps and hope for better times; soon we may pay our tax; perhaps, and have some surplus dimes.
And we forget how in the past we've heard the same old song, heard statesmen make their pledges vast to right our every wrong; and idle as a veering blast were all those pledges strong. And we elect those gaudy birds who make the eagle scream, who charm us with a flow of words like language in a dream; and in the end they feed us curds where we're expecting cream. "You'll have to pay a whole lot more," the tax collector cries; "I know you're feeling sad and sore, but Btill the taxes rise, and longing for the days of yore won't help you weary guys." So to his door, in kegs and crates, we take the iron men, the coin we've earned by bearing weights or plying saw or pen; then come some breezy candidates, and we are stung again.

A, In Europe capital punishment has been abolished in Holland, Roumanian Italy and Portugal. Since 1S63 it has been practically abandoned in Belgium. It was totally abolished. In Switzerland in 1874, but in 1879, owing to the marked increase in the number of murders, the cantons recovered the right , to re-establish it individually. Seven cantons re-introduced it Q. Isn't the rope that ropewalkers use across Niagara made of steel? J. S. R, A.Blondin, noted for his tight ropewalkiDg feats across Niagara, did not use a steel cable, but a well and evenly twisted rope about 2 inches in diameter.
