With recent improvement!! In

Tho chant of tho booster sliiu Is

Tho rain that this cot. predicted

Nevertheless, a moral victory is
worse than nil 'immoral defeat.

Pedestrians on t'onnuereial

Wednesday night lis they wero
forced to dodgo a guy party of
bicyclists who paddled up antl
down tho sldewulks playfully
running over promcnndoiV

hocn found guilty of driving while
Intoxicated and having too much
muitey.
'- It has long been tho custom to
believe that If a man was a far
mer, ho was- an Inferno of work,
und nothing hut a horse wearing
pants, ho had . to work so hard.
No matter what time you get up.
a farmer bus always been up two
hours working. The following
clipping allows that tho guls on the
farm are not Indolent loafers, who
spend their time . reading stories
about' Lord Wllloughby und his
loves,-
Jload the following routine of a
dull day, and rofleet:
Arise at T make the fires: pall
' tho cows: cook breakfast: wuko
up Vour hubby and drcps the chil
dren; 'ejon-o breakfast; get the
children off to school; wash
dlshus; make up tho beds: sweep
tip tho floors; feed tho chickens;
rdup tho pigs; get ('.Inner; servo
tho moat; wash dishes: do the
mending; bake a eako: churn;
wash out a few things; get supper:
servo It; pall tho cows; clean up
tho dishes; help tho children with
their lessons; find hubby's pipe;
more mending; put the children to
bed; listen to hubby's lecture on
how to eavo by doing without
things; close up the house; bunk
the fire; quiet a cross baby, ami
go to sleep. Hcpeat this sevon
days a week.
We do not doubt but what the
bravo and beautiful ludles on the
farm do all the above, and a num
ber of chorea omitted from the
list. What this town lunkhead cun
not understand Is how, after all
thla stronuous toll, seven dttjs a
week, they atay oa fat and plump
und stout aa their city ninturs or
more ao,
A JUST
TO those familiar with conditions. in Ixw Angclcx the past tie
cade, the conviction of Mrs. l'untugcs ou u niiiiislaughtcr
charge will coine as a (front surprise. (
At the time of lief arrest in Hollywood, there was no ques
tion in the public mind that the wife of the vuudeville liuigmitc
was intoxicated, anil that the fatal accident was due to that in
toxication. There were too iiiany people on the street who saw
Mrs. I'mitiifies before and after the crash, to leave any reason
able doubt as far us the man in the street was concerned. .,
Nevertheless, when thc'lrinl opened, it was the wiinc'imiii
in the street" who. wits convinced thaOlvs. l'antages would
never be convicted. With millions of dollars at her disposal,
with the best lawyers in the country at her command, with the
known tendencies of juries to be swayed by njipeals to emotion
rather than reason ; it was freely maintained' that the worst the
vaudeville millionairess could expect would be n hung jury.
The Reverend "Bob" Shtiie'r in flict, (iiiclt"fo '' sense the drift
of popular opinion, broadcast this opinion over the radio a few
days after the trial stiiurled.
BUT for once the astute Hob Shiilcr was mistaken, and so
wns the "man in the street." They failed to realize that
with the election of District Attorney Fills and the conviction
oJ Asa Keyes, nothing short of a moral revolution was enacted
in the county of Los Angeles.
From unspeakable corruption to a militant regeneration, the
scene was shifted almost overnight. What would have been
inevitable two years ago was impossible in Ixs Angeles this
week. Under such circumstances great health, and the power
and social prominence it brings, instead of being a help to the
defendant, became a handicap.' Mrs. Pantages was convicted
and, true to type, was carried screaming and kicking from the
room. ' '
- '.'.. 0
FEW7 people w ill find anything to exult over in such a sordid
and depressing spectacle. At the same time any particular
sympathy for the defendant would be misplaced.
f any one thing must be eliminated from the American
scene, it is the drunken automobile driver, woman or man.
In the hands of an intoxicated person, the motor car ceases to
be a conveyance, and becomes a deadly weapon.
The sooner everyone realizes this, that regardless of money,
prominence or other consideration, the place for any individual
who mixes gasoline with liquor, is behind the bars, the better
for all concerned.
HERE, FANS
WITH tho Ijotighrnii-Shiirkey conflict tonight, the world
series in 12 days, and the football season following, the
fall sport fan season can he said to have started in earnest.
. Our old friend Arthur Brisbane frequently takes a whack
at the sport fan, particularly the prize fight follower, who, he
claims, pays money to see someone else fight, for lie hasn't the
courage to fight himself.
Mebbe so. Hut we notice in the current North American
Review, Dr. A. A. Brill, prominent, psychiatriast, strenuously
.defends the sport fan, inaii or woman, who would rather wutch
a i game tlinii play -it.
Tho mini who sits in an office or hIiukIu pusHlvcly boHltlu n ina
1 cliino nil week is likely lo do himself moro hnrni Ihun good by
breaking out Willi a poind of strenuous exercise mi the tcnnlH
court, baseball (liuniond or In the woods on SuUirduy, Mr. Drill
believes.
On tho other hand, tho sumo mint yelling himself lionise at a
basehull or football gaiiio or boxing match will benefit both physi
cally and menially by satisfying tho age-nltl comhntlvo Instinct
' which ho Inherits from eavo-dwelllng ancestors, ho sayfl.
"It is not laziness that makes 99 funs to 0110 plnyor: It Is not
tho difficulty of Inventing and providing guinea fur mull Initios of
players. No, It Is tho fact that nn ancient Instinct, and a sound
one, Impols tho average man to Identify himself with Hnbe Kuth,
Jack Uempsey, Hill Tlhleii or Walter Itiigcn, rather than to play
hiinsell' without distinction.
"To play tho game, win or lose, would servo our physical need;
but only triumph, tho downing of nn opponent, tho chrism of ap
plause, can preservo our psychic health. That Is why I, for in
stance, gnvo up playing golf. Tho exercise, tho walking nnd Ilia
rhythmic swing of the arms were good for my body, but. my In
ability to turn in it card below 100 was Imtl fur my ego."
Sports supply n safety vulvt for emotions which olherwiso
would he perverled under modern conditions. Dr. Brill says in
Tim North American Review article. Mob violence, drunkonness
and similar miinlfestalinns urn most prevalent among people who
havo tho least opportunity to play or watch play, ho believes.
Like most, special pleaders Dr. lirill probably goes to ex
tremes to prove his point. At any rate, 'we believe n great deal
of harm would be done if all golfers shooting ahovo the cen
tury murk were to abandon the role of participant for spectator.
But if one for any reason can't be active in a sport, we do
believe genuine gonA, mental and physical, can be derived from
being a fan and enthusiastically following it.
That Km-opi'ini oritiu who Miys Americans don't do vote
enough money to "Imuutifying things" should watch our husbands.

TUB WAYS O
Mulaiia causes more sickness
than any other single diBcaso In j
tho plantations
of the United
Fruit company,
in the West In
dies, Central and
Boulh American
c o u n tries. But
pneumonia causes
the grcntcst nuin
ber of death.
What, In those
balmy, ubtropi
cal regions? Yea,
pneumonia causes
one of every six ot seven deaths
among the fruit company's em
ployees. There Is un Interesting
comment on tho pneumonia haz
ard In the seventeenth annual ror
port of the United Fruit com
pany's medical department.' It
seems the doctors consider the
high labor turnover a factor. Par
ticularly In Honduras and Ouata
mulu. they believe, tho constant
shirting of labor, means a low
Individual earning capacity; thlB
in turn Interferes with tho ability
of the workers to properly feed
and clothe themselves, nnd con
sequently Kolks, get set. The' United Fruit
company's medlcul dcpurtmeiit Is.
about to pull tho old gag , .
and consequently lowers their
resistance to all kinds of Infection.
' Dear me. I reckon tho medical
brethren will never, never bo able
to shako off that 'resistance' ob
session. It is a premise accepted
by tho doctors without giving it
any thought; a Inzy sort of as
sumption, for which there la no
ground whatever. Immunity
against pneumonia is conceivable;
It constitutes the principle on
which the modern serum treat
ment' Is based. But - resistance,
against "alt kinds of Infection"
Is not conceivable, so we must
conclude tho United Fruit com
pany's physicians wero just , fill
ing up a report when thoy opined
that Improper food and clothing
"lowers resistance to all kinds of
Infection."
That's the trouble with too many
of our present day medical au
thorities or writers. They ' fall
Into this slovenly hnblt of accept-.
log traditional theories or fnncles
like that without pausing to ex
amine them, and using these un
substantial or exploded Ideas to
build new theories on. That
leaves us in the air, If wo nro not
critical.
I cltir this subject of . pneu
monia In the sub-tropics mainly
to Impress upon general readers
the fact that pnoumonla is not' a!
disease of cold countries or cli
mates, and also to remind tho
doctors who at III utter banalHtlea
about "lowered resistance'' that,
they are behaving a bit carelessly
for prominent performers so high'
In the air. I
So fur ns our present scientific'
knowledge goes, we are warranted
in assuming only thai nn individual
may develop a fair degreo of lin-j
munily against pneumonia, when
all tho conditions ore favorable.
We do not know, and wo have noj
scientific reason to assume . that
the Individual Is likely to loso (nil
part of the Immunity he has ac
quired, if ho wears Improper or
insufficient clothing or gets im
proper or Insbf ficlcnt food. Idenlly
it would be fine if we could hold
over the layman's head tho threat
thut. If he stays out too late nights
or otherwise fails to obey the laws
of hygiene he Is more likely to
get pneumonia or something. Hon
estly wo can't suy that, for ex
perience does not bear out the
Itleu. Dr. fiurgus concluded, and
his great victories over pneumonia
uniting laborers on tho TanamA
citnttl uivt Inter on tho Hand,
Houlh Africa, tndlcntc that ho was
right, that crowding was the lm?
IHt-tant can so of pneumonia.

"Hack In your day," said tlio
little black clock (and it made the
children feel so nice and old and
strange), "they traveled a bit 'n
the air, but thuy did not go in fur
air hotels."
"They camo later on. People
were more apt to make little trips
in your day traveling from plaeo
to place, carrying mail, or discov
ering how far they could go with
out stopping.
"Then camo in your day, too
people who tried to see how long
they could stay up in the air..
"Hut all that was long ago. We're
two hundred years ahead of your
usual tlmo now."
"And they havo air hotels?". .4
Peggy asked.
"Yes. You see, the people on
earth would get tired und.wurit.iJ
change of scene, and they decided
they didn't think any bf tho old
places would quite do, . .
"So air hotels Wero built. Thcv .
just stay right up in tho nlr f..i
those planes used to slay up' in .
your day only they stay longer,
usually, nnd aro very comfortable.
"There aro air hotels where yoii
can slay for a week, or two weeks
or three or four. You just wri'f
and say how long you want M
stay, then -they send you to tip
hotel which is going to slay up
that long."
John and Peggy looked all about
them. Tho hotel was beautiful.
There wast even a- swimming pool.
"Couldn't we .havo . a swim?"
John asked.
"Want to?" the little, black cluck
asked. ' .
"Do I?" said John. And Peggy
said: .
"I can swim too not like John,
but I can swim." 1
"All right." said the llttlo black ,
clock. "I'll fix It."
