CHECKING AUTOMOBILE THEFTS The joy-rider and the automobile thief have both come (o grief through the enactment of law for the certification of automobile titles. Twenty-two states, according to the Insurance Department of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, have enacted such statutes, seven of them this year, and more states are considering legislation of this Character. Estimates of automobile thefts vary, running from $100,000,000 to $150,000,000 annually, in the aggre gate. Certification" laws have had the effect of checking them perceptibly by making it difficult for the thief to dis pose of them, not being able to give title. Insurance com panies have agreed to reduce their rates against theft ten per cent in the states where statutes are enacted. The curb intended for thieves has also placed a check upon the joy rider, as the latter often takes some one else's car when in dulging in this diversion. It is generally admitted that the maximum benefit will not be obtained from certification un til it has been adopted in all the states. When this comes to pass the thief will not be able to dispose of the stolen cars without forging a certificate of title. o Bernard M. Baruch has generously provided a fund of $250,000, to have the Page School of International Relations, of John Hopkins university, study the subject of "taking the profits out of war." Exorbitant profits are always made rat of wars by many interests. It is most incongruous, that while the poeple are suffering and struggling, sotie should make, great fortunes' out of the situation. The wealth and labor of the country should be made to serve during war Without expectation of special reward" of more than fair compensation. Some go so far as to claim that the profits that are to be made from war act as a cause oi war, that some of those who see a chance to make money out of wars encourage such conflict to take place, It is almost incon ceivable that there are people who deliberately cause war in order to make money. Still some who would profit by war, may get into tho habit of believing that wars are useful, so that they favor aggressive policies that increase the likeli hood of armed conflict. The American people should take steps to demonstrate that they abhor war, and do not favor policies that raise friction among nations. o The U. S. Bureau of Education spoke recently of the value of Parent-Teacher associations, and it notes that many school superintendents rely on them for support of educa tional improvement. Formerly educational reforms often went hard, because the mass- of the people had very little idea what good they accomplished. Today, in a community where the parents and teadhers are united in one organiza tion, the reasons for improved methods are presented to the people most interested, and thus public sentiment is pro moted. Many communities without this form of organiza tion, would see more school improvements of they formed such associations. ' Fancy Grocer The American farmer, who has been floundering foi several years in the morass of financial depression, is at last on the road to stability and comfort. According to figures just announced by the department of agriculture, his aver age net incofhe for the year 1921-25 amounted to $876, a clear gain of $101 over the preceding year. Remarkable pro gress! At that rate, the farmer will have to drudge only about 25 years longer before his profits will bo on a par with tho average of other lines of industry, assuming, of course, that he will miraculously escape further adverse conditions in the meantime. The dominating presence of Mr. Bryan at tho Scopes trial, moving his countless multitudo of admirers to tenders of appreciation, and the request of Leopold Schepps, the co coanut multi-millionaire, for suggestions as to the best man ner of spending his wealth, may prove boons to Uncle Sam's pocket-book. If the quantity of mail now being received daily by both men continues for any length of time, that threatened $30,000,000 annual deficit of the post office de partment may be averted.

Now that France haa butted into , the Ruffian row. America Is cer-i talnly Interested. Portland Tele- gram. Prohibition-and Narcotic. ! It frequently is charged, with that loqseness of indictment so ! characteristic of partisan argu ment, that prohibition has caused a considerable Increase in the use of narcotics. This theory is based ' upon the belier that humanity is prone to error and that, deprived of one vice, men will seek another and perhaps more harmful sub stitute. It Is a theory th.ft for ; long has been used by those who are given to various excesses, to condone their own failings but i happily, lu the instance of prohi bition, it has been clearly dis- . proved here in America. Official federal reports agree that the "drug habit haa probably decreased since prohibition," ac cording to a summary lately in sued by the Foreign Policy asso ciation. In Ilellevue hospital, an nounces Dr. Alexander Lambert, there worn before prohibition 15,- 000 alcoholic cases annually. In l!t4 less than one-third that number were received. If there was anything In the notion that enforced abstinence from liquor beaets a craving for narcotics surely it would have been reflect ed in that institution. To the contrary the number of narcotic addicts treated in Ilellevue, i no greater than before. It should be added that the record in Ilelle vue is In agreement with the rec ords of other similar institutions. Narcotic cases are not filing the wards now emptied of alcoholic cases. Thua it appears that prohibition not only Is Improving the physical ! ana mental standards or the peo ple, but that it is accomplishing this desired end and without in curring the niuch-talked-of pen alty of Increased use nf narcotics. And this, you may recall, was one of tho strongest and most fre quently advanced of all arguments against liquor reform. Let us follow the path we have outlined.
