Each shade and color of opinion save the irreconcilable and extreme wets can lina comfort in the individual recommendations. The wets may point to those favoring outright repeal or modification; the dries may point! to the summary of the commission as ! a whole that the amendment be given further trial. The net result is that while "everyone should be satisfied , noone will be. In other words each group will be displeased at concessions to alternate opinion. - ' j j We do not well see how the commission would give an unqualified and conclusive finding. It is after all just j a rmt"j-spriA rf AmonViin rminion. which is sharply, divided on the question of prohibition. eiue or uie ouier. : r x icuus ui jhuuiwmuu mit the evils of bootlegging, corruption of officials, and disp tribution of poison liquor. They may praise the question whether the modified Swedish plan endorsed by Anderson would eliminate these evils. There would still be the ternpj tation for the bootlegger, to sell his stuff at lowerprices or at other hours than the dispensary, and the profits of the Illicit traffic would still be tempting. , j . ! Will the country respond to the- general recommenda tions of the commission that the 18th amendment be rei tained for- further trial and will the people recognize the force of the amendment and the laws and observe them in their own practice? The answer to the prohibition will not be found in a commission report but in the conduct of the people as a whole. Such legislation must depend on the support of the people as well as the efforts of enforcing ofj. ficers. The commission has performed this service: it has clarified the air jfeomewhat, given advocates of modification 8ome definite suggestions for procedure, and given prohibit -tionists the responsibility of proving by further trial the virtues of prohibition. 1 j Financing Road Building ; j JT is to be expected that county dourts will raise a big howl over possible curtailment of their road revenues!. Building highways has been the pet of most county courtsL Driven by pressure both of farmers and of - townspeople!, with none to sneak a restraining word, the courts have built roads with a lavish hand. Not Caesar Augustus chang ing Rome from a city of brick to a city of marble can com pare with the county courts in the transformation whici they have wrought. Paved roads cross i and criss-cross the counties, gravel roads lead up every) houow, marKet roaas, tourist roads, all kinds of roads have been constructed wherever local pressure was applied or county commission ers wanted to pay political debts or curry political favors. J The-road making holiday is about over. It is time to call aTiaft and see if there may not be some lightening of the terrific burden of road costs. The Man q county court did a commendable thing in its budget; this year when it stead of making additional levy to meet road bonds it apt plied some of the money it gets back from the state for ; that purpose. Gov. Meier made the! proposal that the market road levy be absorbed by the state and the direct levy be abol ished. He did not make himself clear whether this meant the state should turn over from-its receipts an amount equivalent to the market road levy or not. I - Some facts stand out, which the state should? begin to i '-realize.'' ; ." J ' ' V- " -. ;l' i I First; we have compressed in fifteen or twenty years i more road construction than in all the previous history of ; the state. ' r Second, the major portion of the state and county prof crams have been completed with surfaced highways. ; Third, the existing needs aside from completion of the ; - present program, are straightening curves and widening highways to accommodate heavier traffic on major roads, and completion of serviceable gravel roads in farm areas. ' Needs are receding compared with ten years ago. 1 ; I ' I Fourth, while needs recede revenues increase because j motor licenses land gas taxes turn in increasing amounts each biennium. V: 1 ' . i Fifth, lowered construction costs effectively increase i the mileage that may be built with the same revenues. - I Sixth, with lessened needs, increased revenues, and cheaper construction costs, the legislature is fully justified in reviewing highway financing and if possible lifting the burden from property of the market road tax. The present utilization of road building for employ ment will pass with the coming of summer, and the state cannot -clan to provide Dick and shovel work indefinitely. In other words the legislature osaI careruiiy ana seeK to put it into effect. ! Discord Up Salt River ; mllE republican party Is not J. internal discord over Its national chairman. John J. Ras kob continues a thorn in the) side of I genuine democrats, who regard him as a liability instead of an asset. Gov. Dan Moody in his final message to the legislature of' Texas threw aJiand-:grenade at Raskbb, holding him the incubus of the party preventing its succession to power. I I But the sharpest thrust Kent, political writer for the Baltimore Sun. Kent is a real ist, rather cynical as all newspaper correspondents are apt to become if they have to follow the hypocrisies and shams of men in public life, His first criticism of Raskob drew a letter from this gentleman who sought to defend Mmsetf ; against the Kent attack. Nothing daunted, Kent returned to the fray with even more caustic rejoinder. Branding Raskob as the "first mortgage-holder! of the democratic . party and as a ''breast-beating amateur in politics who has had the covers pulled off." Kent reneated tha criticism ; which he first published in "Yoa bronchi tha party oat ta recelrarthlp, atood it oa it flrat mortgage oa it. , The democratio partr oufht not to let any rich man io completely finance tti actiTities and pay ita bills.

D. 1 County Department ot Healta; Much mora attention hai been focused oa the physically defee tlT indirldnaU since the World war. our at tention was forcibly drawn to the great numbers o t young men who were con sidered; unfit tor- mlUtary duty. K great number who war drafted were found to hare 'defects of some order or other. Among these defects, postu ral d e t e e t a I1 Vt. C. C. Daner were ' numerous. An examination of the school children of today reveals a great many such ab normaUtles. : The spine at birth Is straight. When the child is placed in a prone lying position, be gradual ly learns to raise bis head and develops the back of the seek and back muscles. By tha time the child has learned to creep and to sit up, the spins in the region of the neck is no longer straight but presents a concav ity. The lower part of the spine is still straight but as the chUd pull4 himself upright the exten sion of the legs tilts the pelvic bones downward In front and causes a hollow to develop i in the (lower part of tha back or lumbar region. ' The spine then presents the normal curves ' aa follows. looking at the beck: concavity in the upper region of the beck; convexity of the tho racic region;- concavity in the lumbar ' region. Any deviation from these natural . curves or a lateral curvature constitute an sh normality and presents de fects la posture.. The normal curves are maintained by proper muscle development, balanced mnBCl development would de scribe the normal posture. There are a number of causes for faulty posture or poor body mechanics and the 'causes are found to overlap to a certain ex tent.) For the sake of clearness the various causes will be dis cussed separately. I The average case shows poor muscular development. The back! muscles are weak and the abdominal muscles relaxed al lowing a general slumping of the whole body. This type is seen most commonly in those who lead a sedentary life. It is also seen la the undernourished, in the overworked, and fatigued and following a prolonged ill ness! of chronic infection. Apother cause is to be found in those who develop poor or in correct postural habits. Most people assume a poor sitting po sition and that in time leads to a faulty posture. Standing, walking and lying down in an Improper manner continuously will cause a poor posture. Cer tain; occupations are, conducive to Ul3 type of postural defect s Errors in general hygiene are productive of poor body mechan ics; such as neglect ot diet, sleeping, fresh air, proper elim ination, care ot the teeth and bathing. Relaxation of the nro- per Jklnd from, t&o hectic things 01 lire snouid not be neglected. improperly fitted clothing might also be included under this head- ing. Injuries and deformities causes uiy poaiures. .uroKen ? oones wKhj shortening are not uncom mon Infantile paralysis, rickets, and j tuberculosis of the : spine cause marked deformities. Among miscellaneous causes one should mention rapid growth during the adolescent period, emotional states, and indulging in one sport to excess; such as, box ing, j canoeing, fencing and even football. All these sports should be supplemented by others to bring about a balanced muscle development. The effects and symptons of faulty posture cannot Je discussed herej Nor can the treatment for the various types except briefly as follows: educational , principles, removal of cause, proper health habits, restoration of strength and proper exercises. Defects are beet corrected by the combined help j of a competent medical ad 1 . X , . . visor ana a person skilled In physical education, . - Yesterdays . .

But she showed him that Salem was a state capital, an educational cen ter, and that It was a growing place surrounded byj a country with such resources as would de mand constant growth. He took time to Inquire and investigate further, and on a subsequent visit increased the offer to $27,500. which was as far as be would go. The building has served well up to the present; but Salem is still and will continue Indefinitely to be a growing city and ; . before long it will be Inadequate; is al ready crowded tor room in some of its activities. ) Mrs. Bush, besides! carrying on the campaign almost single hand ed for votes enough to secure the guarantee, attended the meeting of the city council at which the ordinance was passed. She had the loyal assistance jot Geo. F, Rodgers, who had been mayor when the campaign was opened. Her great argument was that Sa lem owed the growing generation and the stranger wlthjn her gates library facilities, to say nothing ot the average adult resident.
