A BIGGER AND STRONGER RACE. Kvcry now and then foin) nidlcal man arises to bewail thr, nl.irminir dencracy of .hf human raco. If que ntly his ronclu-inn is drawn from the rf?ults rf a physical x;imin;itijn of school children. A la.rK' r'TCtntao art? found to be d'f'ctivr in this or that particular. Sunn is ab.-olut ly normal. Or he points to niorjcrn unhyfrrnic habits of nvreatin and undrr-r.( rci nx. lie says that trolley crs and auiomobilrs have cioiip away with walkinp. In "th trood c!d Iays" nic-st boys had chores to do about tho homr- calling th'ir mu-clcs into play. AUo fo.wpr pirls wfro rnaprd in o'Mcc work and other -odontary occupations. Th pc.cs:niLct points tr thn vigorous open air lifo of the pioneer of the plains, the Kreat-srandfathcr f the present generation, and .ays it is no wonder if wr have degenerated physically if not mentally. We have always felt that there is something wron',' with his theories and now we know what It is: They aren't true. Dr. "Dudley Sargent of Harvard has as good claims :.s anyonu to rank as an authority on tho subject, tor he has been a professor of physical training for nearly 50. years, and ho says American girls have sained an Inch height and 10 pounds in weight since i when ho compiled some statistics for scientific rurposes. The average gain of young men students at American colleges in that period has been two inches in height and nine pounds in weight. "We prefer to accept this cheerful statement. Regardless of the high standing of its author and the proof ho presents, it Is more logical than the others. In the last quarter of a rentury there has been a greater popul.ir participation in athletic sports of all kinds than ever before, especially by girls and women. In tho samt time medical rcienco has made wonderful progress In the conquest of diseases that pped vitality. The "experts" who allege any general deterioration In the human rhyslquc are arguing from limited knowledge. Nor need we depend upon statistics for their refutation. All we have to do !s.to look around us.
AN ONION HOARD. Here Is a tale to weep at, told in the San Francisco Chronicle. A hoard of onions has been discovered roroslnp; in a cold storage warehouse, its purpose apparently to afford profits to speculators rather than to furnish food to the onion-consuming public. According to Uio United States attorney who found this hidden treasure there are about 2.tr.o sacks, cr about 270,911 rounds of onions. They were placed In the. warehouse Mt September, and ihn receipt for them has changed hinds several I inies. The onions were purchased in the days when that commodity sold for about $J.1." a sack, or about two cents a ponnd. Today the wholesale price varies from $1.30 to $T.2ü for a hundred pound sack, and retailor are getting 2" cents for thro pounds. This single hoard of onions is r.ot the whole eau.cf the hirrh cost of living. Neither is it rroof of the -:;istencv of a great many similar hoards of onionr and other foodstuffs. The public probuMy suptct the existence of far more such hoards than ever existed. It may havo been a contributing cause of the high price of onions. At any rate, the United States attornev has asked the district court for authority to seize the lot. The moral of th tale is simply that when such large-scale hoarding for speculative put"pies is discovered, there is ccii' rally prompt othci ii action to punish the offender and renvdy the mischief, if th' rublic will attend to i?.-: put in reducing the cost of living buying wisely ,ind thriftily and eliminating extravagance, officials will probably do theirs.
A NATIONAL FOREST SURVEY. The head of tb. New York state college- of fores try i urging a for st survey which will cove r the whole country and whii-h v. ill mike p.-.-ible the development of n n itional forest policy to supplement tho many unrelated p ;ct-. of various sections. His ftrr-f rci5-on for such a survey is its ciheacy in helping to traft the present paper shortage problem. He . orc. I i! if there are idle forer-t landj m the . -stern part of the country vvhich could produce far mere wood pulp than ;s now r ali.ed. At present, because of the dif-.-ultv of "ro-uring the needed vnoci.I from the far v.st, and because rf ignorar ee of local n sources, eastern states aro talking cf using bard wool for paper pulp.

der.innds and at the same time would encourage reforestation instead of depletion. If the United S'Mirs allows it. forcs's to permanently destroy 1 It will face a bitter reckoning. And neither publi- nor government can pWd icnfrance c the dangers of our present practice. There is an increasing demand for Intelligent forest onnscrvation and reproduction of timber lands av r-f ll as for a nvr ftbrient vh of present timber rcsourer The main tiling i a unified and constructive policy, and th" national purvey feems to be a necessary preliminary to that.
MONEY INTO THE FIRE. ' " Not runny persons would consider tettlng apart one dy each year upon which to count o crisp or.e.dellar bills off the family's roll and throw them tn th& fireplaer. Vet. In effect, that Is what the average family dor-r. Tli" tire loss of the United States in 1 1 1 . ws more than three dollars per capita, nine-tenths of P jireventable. The case is. in fact, voi wnri Kv ry minute of every day, the whole year through. Uncle Sam Is burning up a live. hundred dollar mto most of it unnecessarily. T?ut to" erutftanding fact, -md whit ought to b ralb'd fo emphatic attention, is that It is the ee-n-mni't who pay;-. Tt is customary to ak first after n'-vvs of a. ronfla era t ion if there in insurance, as if I h" inurance company pays-. Hut it is prorerty owners and btjslness men who pay the premiums, and the price of premiums must cf necessity be added to the price of the goods they sell or the service they render. The eonsum r pays, not in th-? end. but i the beginning. Fewer tires, lower fire looses, lower insurance rates, lower prices, is the certain circle in the power cjf American citizens to effect Hvery man who is careful to avoid fire keeps dollars in his pocket.
TO EVERYBODY'S INTEREST. The southern forttry congress which iwt in New Orleans last week wa-s interesting not alone for the forestry policies outlined, but also for the wide- range of interests of the attending delegate?. There were state and national foresters, of course, both professional and amateur. There wero also forest conservationists, lumbermen and representatives of many allied industries. The paper manufacturing trade was among the(most important of these. In addition to these groups with recognized relation to forestry, every city and etat federation of women's clubs in the south had delegates at the eongrf ss. This is as It should be, for the preservation of forest"? and the cultivation of lumber Is of importance to the whole public. Foresters can make plan? pnd prepare fine programs of necessary forestry work, but without the intelligent interest and backing of the public they can not put through those programs. A similar widespread interest in some of the other specific problems which different groups are trying to solve for the good of all would be a line thing for the nation's Industrial, economic and social welfare.
THE BOOZE JOKE. "What." asks a reader, "has become of the lean year joke?"' We don't know. We. have searched the funny columns up and down, but all in vain. The leap year joke appears to have been drowned in a dclugo of booze humor. It's so easy to make a booze Joke. All you have to do is draw u picture of a hundred thirsty citizens raiding a physician's olhce. or writ3 a joke of this variety: "They say lie married an heiress." "Yes, they say she has a barrel." "What! A barrel of money?" -m-"No. whisky." At which all the rum hounds howl for joy. and the brewery ring puts you on the payroll of propaganda manufacturer!. And yet there are so-called funny paters and papers with funny columns that actually pay good money for brilliant effusions of this sort. The leap year joke was prftty bad. but it was a gem of wit beside these modern Omarisins. Uor goodness sake, kt's get back to our old friends.
PAPER CONSERVATION. The publishers cd the country' are lovally doing their bit to relieve the shortage in print paper. In IVoeniber they used 9,565 tons less than in November. Production in the same period Increased 21.T 1 0 tons. It Is an example of united efforts that alone can save many of the smaller newspapers from disaster.
The ultimate truth about Russian bolshevism ferms to be that U's neither socialism nor sovietism, but Leninism, which Is to say. a system of personal tyranny created by a brilliant, ambitious and unscrupulous opportunist.
Th" one drawback to trying "Wilhelm is that it attracts altogether .oo much attention to a disagreeable Subject.
