VANISHING TYPHOID. A city of more thin 100.000 inhabitant reports r,nt nno leath from typhoid during the past year. Another city about the tarne nizo has had only one death. Chiengo, with a population of over two and a half million, ho. had only P.l typhoid deaths In tho same period. Statistics like these encotirac Titcr in the medical journals to predict that before many years have parsed. typhoM. one of the. niot dreaded and fatal of diseases, will be abolished. Certainly ich an objective Is worth working for. In mo5t citiM the prevention of typhoid and the stamping out of incipient -pidemirq in general i.s fairly well in hand. It i the rural districts which musf. now bring their records up. Water and milk supplies arc the, chUf things to be watched in any eamrain against typhoid, and in addition to insuring purity in both of these essentials, inoculation against the disoace must have its full share of respect. Undoubtedly the In ovulation of the millions of boys who entered military serire has leen a prime factor in redntir.. typhoid figures the nation over. The siaVon cf greatest activity In the country i at hand, and alto the seu-on of greatest danger, if precautions .are not observed Why not a 1C0 percent typhoid report for thU summer everywhere? It is perfectly possible, and certainly desirable.

UNCLE SAM INVITES YOU. The problem of where to spend the precious vacation period Is upon the minds of all those lucky enough to have vacations to plan for. Those who allow Uncle Sam to lie their host are above all other vacationers blessed, for the playgrounds belonging to him and through him. to you, act aside for your own enjoyment, health and happiness .are among the most beautiful parts of the country. There i.s the Yellowt-tone, for instance, which comes to mind Hrt of all. Iist year automobiles wer admitted there, and naturally the park, vast .nd well-commissaried as it is. found its equipment inadequate, to handle the crowds of motorists who thronged into it. This year the arrangements will be better, and hungry tourists will not have to be turned away from hotels sohl out to the last cracker and cake of chocolate. Hut there are many others. In California there are the Yosemitc, Sequoia and den. Grant National Parks. In the last two are to be seen the giant redwoods. In themselves worth a transcontinental journey. There is also the recently established Ibissen Volcanic Fark. In Oregon there !s Crater Iake. Montana has Glacier Park. Washington has Mt. Ranier or Tacoma. if jou prefer. Then there is Wind Cave in South Dakota. Fully Hilt in North Dakota, IMatt National Park at Sulphur. Okla. Hot Sprir.rs. Ark., ha.s a national reservation. Colorado has Mesa Verde and Rocky Mountain National Parks. There is a'so White Paver National Forest in that state, a paradise for the hunter and fisherman. This doe not compete the list of Uncle's playgrounds there are some in tho east. too. Put It is enough to Indicate the number and extent of beauty spots which are all your own.

. PREPARING FOR AIR COMMERCE. A British airplane m.-.nufat turer. speaking recently before the Chicago Association of Commerce, made this statement: "The last thing you wnnt in an nlr service Is an airplane. You must put in the ground organization right. You must have wireless communications. You must have meteorological forecasting. You mut have the repair shops and everything el?e before you start your f.ylng." It Founds like a large order. lut it is one whic'.l must be filled if commercial Jiving is to rosper in thla country as it is already prospering abroad. So far government and private individuals have done comparatively little to improve Hying conditions in the United States. Thf re are docks and cha rts and nautical almanacs to irture regular ocean traHc. Railroad tjains run by night as well an by day. If the airplane is to supplement the work of the ship on the sea and tho Meam engine on land, it must be given as thorough preparation. The chief value of the airplane lies In it ability to transport mail or goods or passengers more quickly than it h r of the older means of transj ortation. If i. is to lu at th railroad train, there must h- uderi.iie provision and Mfety Measure. for night living with an at-rial white way of L;ht towers. In FJngiand any airplane ?:-.. aliuht at a rovernrmt aerodrome and. by pa) Ins a very small sum. may have his machine safely housed for the night Thi sum rovers th service of a mn to ttart the propeller in the mornine. as weil M.s fu'.! weather reports. It will be ttr.mge indeed if Americans show themf'lvts cnt i:i to tin s.- aids lo sucets.-ful commercial ;i:r s r i c undeveloped until the rest of the world hts perfe, ted its air transportation. Surely cJtiatr-s and fovtrnir.cnt have "euine interest

in this work and are willing to put the necessary f jnds and eflort Into It.

DO WE NEED IMMIGRANTS? The immigration proWem, which manv peop'.tlately considered settled, has bobbed up again. Instead of a. deluge of immigrants, there is such a dearth of them that some Industrial authorities estimate the labor shortage in this country at 5. 000,000 men. A big employer' association Ls therefore demanding that the Immigration bars be lowered somewhat, particularly the literacy tet, which is keeping large numbers of workmen out of the country. Unquestionably this test sometimes operates disadvantageous!)". There are many men and women who would make good citizens and would help alleviate our critical labor shortage at the present time. Put as a general proposition, do Americans want to I t down the bars once more to a foreign horde, even In such an emergency? Can we assimilate any more of the kind of immigrants Europe has been sending us for the past dozen years? Is It not a fact that wj have not yet assimilated those we already have with us? The war proved that. if. indeed, It did not prove thnt many classes of Europeans can never be fully assimilated or Americanized. As for the nhortage of labor, possibly there Is another way out Are we quite ure that this shortage is real? Suppose everybody should suddenly reform overnight, and decide to work the way Americans used to work. Would there still be a shortage? If everybody really worked, and nobody. In factory or mine or ofKce, "soldiered," would not production leap forward to an extent that would make up for the lack of millions of hands?

THE TRUTH OF MOTHER GOOSE. "bservance of the 2J"th anniversary of the birth of Elizabeth (loose "Mother Goose" has called attention to the conflicting claims of P.oston and Charlestown. Mass.. as the place of nativity of this celebrity, and to rather insistent French protestation that credit for the melodies goes far back to the mother of the mighty Charlemagne, the festival of whom as the patron of children is celebrated to this day. Put whether Elizabeth, the second wife of Isaac Goose, or Yet goose, the stepmother of 10 children and mother of six really "had so many children she didn't know what to do" and whether other experiences immortalized in rhyme were fabled or real, original or retold, is in truth comparatively unimportant. The rank anel file of young folk and of oldsters alike will willingly give her full credit and lay a wreath at her tomb, in spirit at lea-st. There is no surer measure of the vigor of the race than the fine, pure Imagination of its children.

MONEY STILL COMES HIGH. The advance in tho minimum discount rnte of tho Pank of England to seven percent is an interesting commentary on the great demand for money and the higher prices which borrowers must pay in order to obtain accommodation. At the fame time the effect of this increase was almost negligible. Even in England it had no effect on the stock market, for dealings in Ixmdou were described as "active and broad," with large trading in oils, steels, sugars, equipments ur.d motors. In this country there was no such effect as an adAance in the British rate to seven percent would have produced in years gone by. when the financial supremacy of tho world was lodged in London. There have been times when ?uch a rise in the Eondon r.ite of discount would have produced pemipanicky results, and the whole financial fabric would have shuddered, but such times are over and gone.

Anybody might suppose, from the popular Interest in the matter, that tho zodiac stops revolving when movie stars get married.

What worries the small boy in this print rapor shortage is fear that it may restrict the activities of the circus bill poster.

CONGRESSIONAL, JOY RIDE. (Buffalo Courier.) Some hundred tr more members of congress are preparing for a prolonged joy ride. Starting sometime in July, traveling in ;i government transport, they plan to visit Hawaii, the Philippines, China and Japan, fcr tho purpose of "studying Oriental problems." Just what "Oriental problems" require firsthand study on the part of the stalwart statesmen of congress Is not quite clear, nevertheless a few weeks spent riding the orcan waves with a few pleasant evenings on the moonlit beaches of Hawaii and the Orient will be far more pleasant than If they were spent in Washington wrestling with the vexing problems of reconstruction which congTess was elected to solve-. Resides, many of these problems are like the two-edged sword, they cut two ways, and for political reasons may better be left unsolved until the national election is over. Each concre ssman will be required to pay $1.23 per day toward the expenses of the Joy ride the federal treasury footing the remainder of the bill, whii h. of course, is quite In line with the republican arty's widely proclaimed poliey of economy.

i ; i:di c im; the debt. ( Denver Post.) During March the treasury department accomplished a reduction of nearly three-quarters of a billion dollars in the national debt. During six months endin? with March, the nation's Indebtedness w;us reduced more than a billion and a half dollars, t r.oush to effect a Favlnp on Interest to the taxpars of the country of approximately $65.000.000 per annum. This record is so splrmllci as to -bring: forth praise even from the republican floor leader in the house. Rep. Monde!!, who admits that the treasury orTkials hae "handled a trying situation most admirably." but warns that "they cannot avert a disaster unless we keep expenditures within our income." Mr. Mond. 11. cf course, knows that no money !s expended tb;-t 's not appropriated by congress, and that lopors .ty for who economy rests with congress, whe-.-- ! .. republicans are in control. The repub'man leaders in that body have been talking about economy ever since they came into power, almost a ear ago. While they have been talking economy, the government departments hive been practic:ng it.

Tin; om MISTS. There's been a dearth of grubs this year; Through rain and snow and sleet. The birds are searching: far and near To find a bite to eat. And some, half drowned by April showers. Go hungry all day long. And yet the early twilight hours Seem always filled with song. The robin's eage r, beady eyes Put now and then reveal A luscious, creeping, wriggling prize To furnish forth a meal. Put when the shadows gather dim About tho dying day. Upon the same old maple limb, He pipes, the same old lay. Tho bluebirds, in a fluttering band, Are flitting everywhere; They know that dinner time's at hand. Put dinner isn't there. Yet through the orchard there will ring. Beneath the skies of lead, The happy little song they sing. Before they go to bed. When you and I bewail our fate When everything goes wrong. And murmur, quite disconsolate That life is hard and long. Let's stifle all our bitter words. And wander through the wood; A little lesson from tho birds Will do us lots of good!

Willelmus Richardson and hi wife Christina who had a family of 18 children and became so destitute for names for this extraordinary brood that they had two Johannes, two Willelmus' two Christinas, and three Janets. Strange- to relate, this was not an unusual custom or duplications in those day. Genida was an old Prankish form of Janet which was exceedingly popular, indeed it Is thought to be so direct a forerunner as to be conclusive proof that Janet sprung from It and from Geneta not from any form of John. Genetia is another early form that appears In old Prankish chronicles. Undoubtedly Janet was left behind in France and became confused with Jean, hence erroneous modern belief that the two name. are interchangeable. Like its offspring Jssie, Janet means 'grace of the Eord." Her talismanic stone is onyx, which unless it has some mystic significance for the wearer as in this

JAM TT. Janet, sometime spelt, .Tanette, bear no relationship to Jane, paradoxical as it may seem. As early as the 13th century, Geneta appeared as a feminine proper name, long before Jane, Joan, or Jonanna were known to us. In the 14th and l.'th century, Gennct made her appearance and by a process of evolution, there came- Janeta. Janetta and finally Janet, though the latter is by far the most modern form of the name. History, which records innumerableinstances of Janet and her derivative being used with extreme popularity in those early times, likewise chronicles the amusing and almost, unbelievable story of one

Rugs - Carpets First Essentials in Home Furnishing As all home decorators know, the decorative scheme of a room begins with the rug on the floor then the furniture and its upholstery the wall paper the ceiling and back to the windov hangings. Thus the rug or carpet on the floor is the foundation upon which the room furnishings are planned, and must necessarily be artistic and well chosen to insure the success of the room.
