Punishing Automobile Speedsters To break up reckless driving by motorists, irnany , judges are Inflicting drastic penalties, i some of them evidently outside of the provisions
of the law. This may be an effective cure for
(men and women who km little children and iadults in a. maniacal desire for speed, but it is la doubtful remedy. ... ' ' " x
Judge C. L. Bartlett- of Detroit announced that 25 or more traffic violators, most of whom were guilty of drunken and reckless automobile
driving, would be personally conducted through
the morgue to view the bodies of three men killed
tin traffic accidents. The judge grouped them (around the victims while he preached a sermon on the evil of reckless driving. Six convicted traffic law violators of CleveUand were ordered by Municipal Judge Sawicki )to attend the funeral of a little seven-year-old igirl, killed by an automobile while crossing a
I street. The minister referred to the reprehen
sible practice of fast driving in his sermon.
In Philadelphia judges have devised equally drastic procedure to bring a sense of guilt and
shame to offenders. Elsewhere in the United States magistrates are sentencing traffic law vio-
lators to ordeab that are as trying as the ones mentioned in the foregoing.
i None of these forms of purdshment is pre
scribed in the statutes. The offenders could have escaped the punishment by an appeal,, on the ground that the judge was inflicting a punishment forbidden in law. One questions the advisability of this kind of punishment to break up fast and reckless driving. Not that one seeks an excuse for the driver who has no regard for the safety of the pedestrian, and is willing to inflict injury or to take life, but because the punishment is not prescribed in law. . If the punishment for reckless driving is too lenient, the statutes should be changed so as to make them drastic enough to make the penalty fit the offense. An examination of the statutes may show that they are stringent enough, but that there is laxity in their enforcement and in the infliction of the maximum penalty. The consciences of some automobile "drivers are so hardened that nothing will check their speed mania but prison sentences. If this is the case with' some of them, a judge can quickly give them time to ponder their iniquity by imposing a prison sentence. . The lives of pedestrians will not be safe until the reckless drivers are taught by severe punishment the value of driving with sense and a regard for the rights of others. An appeal to their better natures ought to be sufficient. If it isn't, let the punishment approximate the injury and deaths which they inflict. But let that punishment be within the law and not one devised by a judge. The severity with which some judges are dealing with these cases indicates a rising opposition to the reckless driver. In some cities automobile clubs are co-operating with the authorities. In Los Angeles, for instance, hundreds of drivers have been given authority to arrest violators of the traffic ordinances and to take them to police headquarters.

How much would it he possible to add to the acreage of the farm3 in the United States? A. The department of agriculture says it is possible to increase the area of improved land about 300,000,000 acres, or 60 per cent. This would be accomplished by irrigation, drainage, clearing and dry farming. Prices tc the farmers for products are not high enough to make euch an outlay - of time and money profitable. Q. When was the Muscle Shoals project begun?-1-A. D. R. A. The improvement of the Tennessee River at Muscle Shoals was begun May 23, 1828, when congress gave the state of Alabama land enough to bring $600,000. A canal was begun in 1831 and completed in 1836, but was not adequate nor serviceable. In 1871, the : federal government took the project in hand, surveyed and built a canal which was finished in 1890 which cost more than $3,000,000. This is the canal which was closed to navigation when the construction of Wilson Dam was started in 1918. Q. How is candied lemon peel fixed? D. R. S.

"I slept, and dreamed That life was beauty; I walked, to find That life was duty. Was, then, thy dream A shadowy lie? Toil on, sad heart courageously And thou shalt find i Thy dream to be A noon-day light And truth to thee." This is a little poem that I learned when I was a boy.
inspired me on to better things. . Whoever planted this love of beauty that I have in my life and heart (I know that my Mother's life was saturated with it) to them I acknowledge my hourly debt of gratitude. I saw a bed today. The person who showed It to me told me that it had cost $3,000. A great price you say and a useless expenditure of money. Well, I am quite sure that I could sleep fairly well in it at that Such exquisite carvings and such magnificent coverings beauty! I went into a Btore today, and told the clerk that I was not going to buy anything but would he mind if I looked for a little while at the wonderful semi-precious stones of which he had such a great display? He kindly consented. There was the pink and crimson red. the green, the purple, the canary-gold, the green, the well, the every color, or the black Australian opal. And every one of them came out of the earth, planted there , by the Infinite God. Man had simply polished them that they might smile in their gloriest glory! ' A life isn't really sad and tragic until it gets to the point where It has no appreciation of beauty. And there is this thing about a-live for beauty the more you love toeauty, the more beautiful is beauty. So that It comes in time to be a real religion to you, guiding you out ' of yourself and teaching you the loveliness of service itself. For beauty never takes away from anything. It does only one thing gives and ' But rarer than any stone or material work of arfc-is the beautiful life with a beautiful spirit within. - ' '

J. R. MacDonald defeated in parliament for the. retiring prime minister to advise the king to summon the leader of the opposition to form a new government and the recent election has made MacDonald "leader of his majesty's opposition." MacDonald is noted for his parliamentary skill, his gifts as, a speaker, and his extensive knowledge of foreign affairs. He is a strong socialist as well as an anti-militarist. His career has been a stormy one. He was rejected by a large majority at Leicester in 1918 owing to his anti-war attitude and again badly defeated when he contested the Woolwich constituency in the election of 1921. The voting was exceeding close at the recent election and MacDonald won over Clvnes although Lloyd George campaigned against him using his war record in the attack. The new labor leader was born at Ixssiemoth in 18S6, He was educated at a board school and later married the daughter of the late Dr. Gladstone. He has two sons and three daughters. He names golf and walking as his recreations. He is the author of various papers and books on socialism and labor questions and after the death of his wife he wrote "Margaret Ethel MacDonald: a Memoir."
Musings For The Evening
The following Thanksgiving greet
ing has reached our desk. It is sent by the Bald-Headed Club of America, an organization formed three or four years ago and now with a flourishing
membership.
The greeting Is a lengthy document
and reads in part as follows:
"Twenty years ago eggs were 10
cents a dozeA, milk 5 cents a quart,
the butcher gave away liver, the hired
girl got $3 a week and did the wash
ing and ironing,, women did not powder and paint in public, play 'put ad
take,' shimmy or talk flapper gibber
ish: men then wore whiskers and
boots, chewed tobacco, cussed, had their glass of beer, worked ten hours
a day and never went on . strike; no
tips were given to waiters, there was
no income tax and the hat check graft
was unknown.
"Now everybody rides in automo
biles or Fords, strains his neck looking
at airplanes, plays the piano with his feet, goes to the movies to see a lot of sentimental slush, listens to grand opera on a radio machine, discards his sensible woolen underwear, smokes cigarettes, drinks hair tonic, cologne and embalming fluid, seldom goes to bed the same day he gets up sets his children a bad example, thei blames them for going wrong and thinks he is having a heck of a time. "If you think you have anything to be thankful for, we send you greetings." Looks as though the Hall mystery Is about to depart to that bourne from which no traveler returneth, to keep company with the Elwell, Taylor and Charlie Ross mysteries. No new eye-witnesses today.
To Develop Far East Markets
Experts Believe the United States Should Seek .Outlet in , China and the Orient.
By FREDERICK J. RASKIN WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 28. An
effort is to be made at the forthcoming session of congress to stimulate trade between the United States and
the Far East. It will he based on the
theory that there must be a sort of va
cation of trade with Europe and that.
meanwhile, the United States must
find and develop a new market for her large surplus.
All the world knows that two strong
elements prevent much trade with the
great maunfacturing powers of Eu
rope. t First, the foreign exchange sit
uation practically forbids extensive purchases by European nations from
the United States. This is because
the European currencies are so badly depreciated that a disproportionate
amount of the foreign money is required to purchase a dollar's worth of goods in the United States. Second, the American protective tariff is so
high that European manufacturers can
not ship-, much here, pay , the - tariff, and still compete with, the goods manufactured within our borders. Therefore, there is a check on both outgoing and incoming goods the two currents which make up foreign trade. The United States is so attuned in
dustrially that to attain her greatest prosperity she must sell the surplus of her manufactures abroad. If she cannot sell to Europe she must find another market. The present indications are that she will look toward Asia. The Asiatic countries do not manufacture goods in the sanVe vast volume that the Europeans do. Japan, It Is true, rapidly is forging ahead as a manufacturing state, but her population, her facilities and her manufacturing skill have not yet developed to a point where they can supply jthe

BEAUTY SPECIALIST TELLS SECRET
A Beauty Specialist Gives Home Made Recipe to Darken Gray Hair.
Mrs. M. D. Gillespie, a well known beauty specialist of Kansas City, recently gave out the following statement regarding gray hair: "Anyone can prepare a simple mixture at home that will darken gray hair, and make it soft and glossy. To a half-pint of water add 1 ounce of bay rum, a small box of Barbo Compound and ounce of glycerine. These ingredients can be purchased at any drug store at very little cost Apply to the hair, twice a week until the desired shade Is obtained. This will make a gray-haired person look twenty -years younger. It does not color the scalp, 13 not sticky or greasy and will not rub off." Advertisement.
GIVING If any man Is in a pickle, and comes to me for aid, I'll gladly hand Mm out a nickel, and feed him marmalade. I look around each day for chances to give away a buck; I- would improve the circumstances of all men out cf luck. Is ihere a widow sorely weeping beneath a sullen sky? I call on her and in her keeping I leave a wholesome pie. Is there a crippled man bewailing his long lost golden prime? To his cheap door you see me sailing, to stake him with a dime. I like to look for the afflicted, and then relieve their woe, and feel, as moralists pre
dicted, my moral status grow. But
when men say to me, "Oh, brother, be wise and circumspect! You ought to give to which and t'other, just as
we shall direct," I straightway draw my purse strings closer, and say, "Ods whiskerines! I need my coin to pay
the grocer for rice and stringless
beans." Let me alone, and I beshre.v me, will help folks while I live, but
when you bring blue prints to me, and
tell me where to give, I lock the strong

whole of the Far Eastern trade. While China has made rapid advances in the last decade, she still is too far behind to supply herself with all the manufactured good3 for which a market can be made. These circumstances invite- a determined effort on the part of the United States to develop the Far Eastern market and, in all probability, congress will suggest that either existing machinery such as the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce, or
some new agency, make a special study of increasing trade. between the United States on the one hand and Japan, China, the new states of the Siberian territory, Australia, New Zealand, the Dutch East Indies and the islands of Malaysia and the South Seas, on the other. China's Purchasing Power Great Population makes markets. 'Before
Columbus discovered America, Ameri
ca was here but did not figure in trade.
Indeed, for many years after the discovery, America was not a market. The country was here, but no people to buy. The vast republic of China
has a' population of nearly 450,000,000 persons. The United States has only 105,000,000. It is true that the Chinese are not so wealthy as the Americans and therefore tho individual Chinaman cannot buy as much as the individual American, but there are more than four times as many chinamen as there are Americans, and, in the aggregate, they represent a tremendous purchasing power. When the peoples of the other Oriental countries are added, a total of many hudreds of millions of prospective customers is found. They are not, primarily, manufacturing peoples. They produce vast stores
of raw materials and consume vast
stores manufactured goods. The situation Is ideal to develop trading and there is less derangement of foreign exchange between the Orient and. the United States than between Europe and the United States. What is of especial importance in
connection with the upbuilding of
trad in the East is the rapid strides which China has made toward prosperity in the last few years. Julian Arnold, a trade attache of the Depart
ment of Commerce, in av-recent report
on China, says:" "During the past few decades wealth in China has increased considerably.
A Chinese banker tells me that 30
year3 ago a man with $3,000 was looked
upon as well off. Today little distinc
tion is given to the man possessing
ten times that amount. Within recent
years many of the Chinese who have piled up huge fortunes in - political life have invested large sums in Indus trial concerns and numerous banking companies are the creations of those who have enriched themselves as military governors or other officials These people are not able to manage the business ventures themselves, but engage managers, generally men who have been closely associated with them in politics."

come In China and that it la turning from the ancient pastoral nation it was into an industrial hive which will produce ever increasing wealth, the substance of trade. While this, part of Mr. Arnold's report gives only one side of the picture, the increase in prosperity generally also is reported. He says: "Less than 40 years ago the brass cash, a coin 10 of which equalled one copper cent was the coin of the realm Today, in Eastern China that is, in the trade centers in contact with the out side world-r-the brass cash is almost a curio, so seldom is It seen. A coin 10 times its value has replaced the cash, indicating the increasing prchasing power of the masses." Purchasing power among the masses Is what constitutes a market and Mr. Arnold's report shows that the vast nation of 450,000,000 Chinamen now have thatv He also points out that the last quarter of a century has just been an awakening. The next 25 years, in his opinion, will see a much greater increase in prosperity and a multiplication of the purchasing power of the people. At this rate, in a short time, China may become as great a market as Europe ever was, and perhaps greater. , The introduction of American and British capital and skill in the Orient has brought about the establishment of some substantia manufacturing concerns, but for many years China's chief wealth must be in raw materials and natural resources which are al
most limitless. This means that while she will have wealth to command a great variety of goods," she will not have native skill to produce them.' Such a situation is precisely the proper sort of an opportunity for the? American exporter. America gladly will exchange her skillfully manufactured goods for the native wealth, of China. Both peoples will profit by the exchange and the United States will have a great new customer which perhaps will be of more importance to na than any country of Europe or even all Europe put together. . Every aspect of the situation Is being studied by government trade experts and this winter it Is expected some important reports will be submitted and possibly legislation will be offered looking to facilitating trade During the last session of congress one step was made in the enactment of the Dyer China Trade Act This provides for the American incorporation of companies doing buisness in China. Heretofore, there was no way open for Americans, doing business there, to obtain American charters and many of them were compelled totake out British charters. An effort is to be made to give. American traders in China certain' exemptions from taxation which; wfTL encourage them to develop the mar-i ket. It will be remembered flat in "tbei early days of our foreign masters took New England sailing masters tookj their ships out to China with, cargoes i of miscellaneous manafaeturers andj brought back rich silks, tea and many another commodity. When the fasti sailing clipper ship was developed The China voyage was made fromj Boston, New Bedford, Salem, Jfewi York, Philadelphia and Baltimore tn so short a space of time that the sea-i faring world gasped. In those daysj the ships sailed across the Atfemtici and around the Cape of Good Hope Now the American China trade will; move from the Atlantic Coast through i the Panama Canal and direct acrossj the Pacific from West coast ports.
