The latest thing in metropolitan theatres is a special room
for deaf people who would enjoy talking pictures. Seats have
been installed with special ear-phones for each spectator so
; that they may hear as well as see the entire performance.
Imagine the investment that such equipment m)ust represent
yet it must pity or it wouldn't be undertaken. Three or
four years ago talkies were not seriously considered. Today
, they are commpnplace. A year ago there were only seven
technicolor cameras in Hollywood. Now there are 35 in
daily operation. A depth dimension will be the next improve
ment, then television so that you can put a quarter in a slot
and have an evening's show in your own home. There seems
no limit to scientific progress, but keeping step with it is
becoming a source of worry.
Men and women live longer now than did those of half a
century ago. The life span has been increased by 17 years.
The gain is the result of knowledge. Sickness and death
are tragedies in the experience of individuals, but from the
point of view, of the, interests of the community, they are
just pain bad business. The service of every able-bodied
man to society as a whole has a certain definite cash value.
If he lives and keeps well ho ought to be counted upon to
contribute to the wealth of the community. This is one
justification for spending money collected from the public
io protect pwblui health. It is community insurance. Itis
the business 'of organized society to protect itself against
those attacks of disease which grow out of bad living con
ditions. .;,

A FANTASTIC SCHEME
Statesmen of Europe are in the habit of remarking the
map of the continent every few decades. European peoples
arc so accustomed to shifting boundary lines that it is quite
natural for statesmen and even engineers to dream of new
territories available for national expansion. Countless plans
have been evolved for irrigation of the Sahara Desert, for
tunneling under the English Channel and the Strait of Gibral
tar. Engineers as well as statesmen must have great things
to dream about.
Seldom, however, has there been such an ambitious enter
prise launched as that which was recently announced in
France. A group of engineers believes that the Mediterran
ean can be piade a fresh water lake by dams at Gibraltar
and the Dardanelles and that 430,000 'square miles of terri
tory can bo added to the countries bordering: on that sea by
lowering its level 500 to G00 feet by the use of the same
dams. And further benefit would be gained by pumping the
fresh water into the Sahara for irrigation purposes.
It is a fabulous scheme and one that is not likely to mater
ialize, but it serves to illustrate the difference in outlook
between Europe and the United States.
Europe is land hungry and water surfeited. She could
spare some of her seaboards and other waterways if making
that sacrifice would give her more land for colonization by
her crowded people. At the same lime the United States,
with land to spare, is crying for outlets to the sea, waterways
and seaboards. Through immigration America has long
been helping Europe solve her problem. Europe can do noth
ing in our aid.

To the editor:
In your lasi Saturday's pajier
yon had an article "I-'ir.st Iinpn-.s-nIoiim
uf a Town." It would he
nearer enrreet to call It "Kind Im

or older person hy saying "hello"
do therehy show" disrespect. St til
nioro than nine-tenths use the
word "hello" at home and even in
thn schools, so you can't expect
any better. In my travels in Hie
United Stales I found the people
of Milwaukee, Wis., the most polite
people. , The Wrench are. the most
