EDUCATION WEEK
A F'I'KH nil is Haiti siml iloin-
A. the win' Id lies in education.
For :.s Mr. Alexander J'ope renin iked some 200 years uyo:
"T'is education forms the common mind:
Just as the twig is bent the tree's Inclined."
And the common mind is the
destiny. Great leaders are a ".'real
there remove 'obstacles' from the
leaders and the greatest minds are powerless, in the world today, if
tile average mind, the mass-mind, is steeped in ignorance.
Just as water can rise no higher than its source, so a nation can
rise no higher than its average of education und intelligence.
'
Former President Wilson maintained, and still maintains. the
world war was waged to make the
his opponents are now pointing with considerable satisfaction to the
'net that there is less Democracy in the world today than there was
ten years ago. ' 1
One of the narrowest and most pitiless autocracies in the world
reigus in Russia. Italy is controlled by a dictator who publicly glo
ries in the absurdity of democratic! principles. The autocratic spirit
is manifest from pole to pole, ami from west to east and back again.
WhyV Chiefly because of mas ignorance, chiefly because the
average of intelligence in these countries is so low that clever and un
scrupulous leaders can deceive and exploit their people to their
people's disadvantage. That is really the essence of the business,
this age-old struggle between freedom and oppression, between hu
man progress and human decline.
So in the last analysis, the ultimate hope of the world comes down
to education, to the degree of enlightenment of the average mind.
This is true in all countries, but it is particularly true in a De
mocracy, where popular control is more direct. Most of our dangers
and troubles today can be reduced to ignorance. Our crime waves,
our radical outbursts, our demagogues, our inciters of intolerance
a 'id hatred, really ignorance is at the bottom of them all.
Ho Education Week which is now being celebrated is a most im
portant enterprise. For anything that extends education, extends
human happiness, strengthens American institutions and renders the
iltiimile triumph of democratic principle's more certain.
Of course there is a difference of opinion concerning just what
education means, just what the test of an educated person is. It is
;nl mere book knowledge. It is also a thing of the siirit. It has to
do not only with a desire to know the truth but the ability to recog
nize it. '
However as Kipling said, that's another story. Sufficient unto
1 he week is this undeniable tnith, that the more education we have
the better for this country and the world. (

THE RESORT TOWN.
THIO CROWDS are gone from Rullfrog Beach, the scene is
md and drear; no more we see the blooming peach in bath
ing togs appear; the hungry seahirds wail and screech, and no re
lief is near. The town is dead, no noisy band grinds out the rag
lime tune, no hot dog dealer is at hand to. capture the doubloon;
hut there is only soggy sand, in bar and drift and dune. The sea
is gray that once was blue, the waves no longer play, but scrap
.i dreary round or two, and, snarling, drift away; and every mor
tal thing in view is brown or black or gray; the girls are gone,
the hoys are gone, all youth has left the town; the flowers are
withered on the lawn, the grass is dead and brown; and all the
buildings seem to. yawn, deserted, broken down. Some dismal
graybenrtls walk the shore and talk away the time, and tell old
tales of days of yore, of distant port and clime; and every day to
them's a bore, and every night a crime. A stranger, gazing at
the place, would have a pallid grin, and say, "It's surely run its
race, it's mortified within; it's dead to loveliness and grace, it is
too dead to skin." Hut wait a few brief months, I pray, and see
the town once more; ami you will find it twice as gay as e'er it
was before, the bells will ring, the bands will play, the peaches
haunt the shore.

Ixt Them Play
Don't know what is the matter with
the boys nowadays. For several yearn
not a cub bay a stump has found sanct
uary in our venti-
bule, not a window
pane In the house
has been smashed
by a foul tip or a
misplaced nowball,
no neighbor's urn
or wheelbarrow has
ever been huntf on
our eave. Tho boys
around here seem
to devoto their time
to changing their
linen, dressing for
dinner and the
movies.
Why do boys go wronp? Here is
our version of the psycholotty of it,
Kvury boy likes to show off. That
is human nature. If ho hasn't the
opportunity to do it in a legitimate
respectable, boyish way, like annoy
ing the neighbors, stealing fruit, base
ball, gymnnstics, tumbling, races, box
ing, and athletic pursuits In general,
then he avails himself of other means.
He can smoke a clgaret and win the
admiration and appluuue of his com
panions who have not yet grown quite
so bold. He can stride up to a bar
while the weak kneed sissies hesitate
outside. ' '
It is a shame to arrest boys for
playing ball on the streets, for steal
ing a little ripe fruit, for snowballing
a tempting target, or for any of the
thousand and one respectable things
every real hoy does to let off steam
and gratify that showoff ambition. Es
pecially Is it wrong In a community to
do this when no adequate place is
provided for boys to play. What could
you do make your boys little old men
of tho neuter gender? Have you for
gotten the scores of times you would
have been jailed had your community
taken such a view of play boys?
Ijot youth have a chance. Let age
stand by to give counsel and caution,
but let youth run things. That is the
way to govern a city which pretends
to bo progressive. Youth is progres- j
slve. Age is conservative, standpat. !
Ample ground for play is what we
need. And gymnasia. Not croquet
courts and teeter tawter boards, but
playgrounds with room and equip-
ment for the big boys, the boys who
are getting ready to take tho turn to
good or bad. Playgrounds every few

QUESTION'S AND ANSWERS
Dentul Dralnuen
Is it possible for a dentist to drain
an abscess at the root of a tooth
without extracting the tooth? It
seems as If there ought to be some
way of removing the abscess from the
root without having to ; extract a
sound tooth. (Mrs. 8. R..J.)
Answer. liut a tooth with an ab
scess at its root can scarcely be called
a sound tooth. Dentists often drain
such an abscess without extracting the
tooth, with fair chance of success.
They can do this by drilling thru the
root. I should leave it to the judg
ment of the dentist.
Sweating Feet '
Remedy 'for feet that sweat and
have an offensive odor? Washing the
feet twice daily and changing stock
ings each time seem to have no ef
fect. K. M. W.)
Answer. Less you wash the feet
the better; when you do wash them
use only cold water, not warm nor hot.
I think the most satisfactory remedy
is formalin, sponged on the soles and
between the toes in a solution as con
centrated as the skin can stand. 1
would suggest about an ounce of the
formalin (this is a standard solution
of formaldehyde of about 40 per cent
utrength) In a half pint bottle filled
with water. Keep it off your fingers
or other parts of the skin. Use a
brush or a mop of cotton on a stick
to paint the soles and the spaces be
tween the toes, once a day, allowing
the feet to dry before putting on stock
ings: a Repeat three or four times, then
wait a week or two and use the treat
ment, again if necessary. Formalin is
poisonous and irritating and must be
handled with caution.
Beauty ami (he Skin
Here's what a health and beauty au
thority says about the pores; "Nature
has to eliminate various impurities
thru these tiny tubes. Tho pores have
to breathe." How do you reconcile
this with your statement that the skin
has no pores. (K. D.) "
Answer. I don't. It can't be recon-
died with physiology. All the impur-
Hies nature eliminates thru the skin
would never cut any ice with one's
health.

It is already apparent that the in

Till: GREATEST THING IS THE
WORLD
by Laurel Gray
Those Mcnckeiiian Bachelors
I do adore H. L. Mencken. I love
tho bright and snappy flings he takes
at people in love. I am sure he must
be the most ao
llghtful play-fellow
in the world.
If you don't hap
pen to know hi in
I beg you go
right out to the
book store and
buy his book. "In
Defense of Wom
en," because of
all the ironists
yf YsjSJi w have writing
tl - WES! In our language.
thi(1 feiiow Men-
t. . cken is at once
the most entertaining and the
most transparent. If ever there was
a man in .love with love it is H. L.
Mencken. Indeed, this is so obviously
so. that he writes the . most awful
things against women; he professes to
grin and shrug and chuckle at mar
riage; nnd he considers a married man
a comical clown with a bojd head and
baggy pantaloons and never a six
pence in, his. pocket he may call his
very own. Which goes to prove that
H. L. Mencken has probably enjoyed
fifty-seven love affairs In his life, and
the only reason he ,ho,sn't asked one
of his inamorlta to become Mrs. H. L.
Mencken Is that he knows very well
he will fall in-love with the next gal
with a smooth, drawling voice who Is
fetched up to be laid as a sacrifice at'
his feet. That is the way with most
of the professional bachelors I know. '
They are so primed with self-assur- 1
ance. They know so many evil things '
about; women. They are so certain
that love cannot, last if one happens
to owe last month's grocery bill or
one hasn't quite enough money for the
new tiros -for the family car. Actu
ally, these 'men are sitting back wait
ing for' some fair da moselle to trip
along and say, "Booh! Be Yourself!"
and, they will race off to the county
clerk to get the marriage license. I
would just love to curl H. L. Menck
en's forelock on my finger and say,
"Booh!" right-in Jiis face!

Asks for Information
To the Editor: Will you, through

tlon to one recently arrived in Med

Oregon "War Cry of "Protestantism"?
Does it 'refer to the Episcopal
church, which Is the first offspring
of tho Catholic? ,Or does it refer to
the Methodist Episcopal, a legitimate.)
child of the Episcopal? Or, perhaps,
to tho Methodist, which, from its t
name must be In some way related to ;
the elder brother? Or, can it be' that i
tho Holy Rollers are meant? Or the 1
Latter Day Balnts, another name I r
understand for the Mormons, which ,
must bo Protestant since they, certain
ly are not Catholic? Or could it be
those who believe Heaven awaits, only
those who have been immersed,? Or,
that sfill smaller. Church of Brethren
A'ho would immerse three times, face

It all very bewildering to one who

Have Kidneys
Examined By
Your Doctor
Take 8alts to Wain Kidneys If
Back Pains You or Bladdar
Bothers
Flush your kidneys by ' drinking a
quart' of water each day, also take salts
occasionally, says a noted authority, who
tells us that too much rich food forms
acids which almost paralyze the kidneys
in their efforts to expel it from the
blood. They become sluggish and
weaken; then you may suffer with a
dull misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache, dizzi
ness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated, and when the' weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
gets cloudy, full of sediment, the chan
nels often get sore and irritated, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
To help neutralize these irritating
acids, to help. cleanse the kidneys anu
flush off the body's urinous waste,' get
four ounces of Jad Salts from any phar
macy here; take a tablespoonful in a
class of water before breakfast for a
Tew days, and your kidneys may then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and-lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been used
for years to help flush and stimulate
sluggish kidneys; also to neutralize the
acids in the system so they no longer
irritate, thus often relieving bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; can not in
jure and makes a delightful efferves-
cent lithia-water drink. By all means
have your physician examine your kid
neys at least twice a year. , .
