We’re Still Getting Mad
Qn as the Savages Do
When Tom Sawyer and the new
boy first met and took one another’s
measure they worked themselves up
to the point of combat by passing In
sults and dares. In the Arabian
desert, when the tribes feel the urge
for battle, they prepare for It by dis
patching impudent verse back and
forth. When one side feels that the
impertinence can only be atoned for
in blood the shouts give way to blows.
All very childish, of course. But
Is it so much different from the civ
ilized methods?
Young Italians
threaten the British embassy in
ish places of business. The Brit-
ltome and break the windows of Brit
ish hurry troops to Egypt. The In
spired press of Italy is as contemptu
ous of all things British as are the
Bedouin versifiers of their tribal ene
mies. And Britain moves up warships
from Gibraltar to Malta, in the very
shadow of the Italian toe, as though
to pinch it The principle is the
same all the way through, and even
the practice does not Increase great

Beware Coughs
from common colds
That Hang On
No matter how many medicines
you have tried for your cough, chest
cold or bronchial irritation, you can
get relief now with Creomulsion.
Serious trouble may be brewing and
you cannot afford to take a chance
with anything less than Creomul-
Blon, which goes right to the seat
of the trouble to aid nature to
soothe and heal the inflamed mem
branes as the germ-laden phlegm
Is loosened and expelled.
Even if other remedies have
tailed, don’t be discouraged, your
druggist is authorized to guarantee
Creomulsion and to refund your
money if you are not satisfied with,
results from the very first bottle.
Get Creomulsion right now. (Adv.).
Watch Your
Kidneys/
Be Sure They Properly
Cleanse the Blood
y OUR kidneys are constantly filter-
I ing waste matter from the blood
stream. But kidneys sometimes lag in
their work—do not act as nature in
tended—fail to remove impurities that
poison the system when retained.
Then you may suffer nagging back
ache, dizziness, scanty or too frequent
urination, getting up at night, puffiness
under the eyes; feel nervous, misera
ble—all upset.
Don't delay? Use Doan's Pills.
Doan's are especially for poorly func
tioning kidneys. They are recom
mended by grateful users the country
over. Get them from any druggist.

Child Will Read Story
That He Thinks Is Good
•‘Who shall define Interest fpr an
other person, compounded as It is of
the raw material of which personal
ity Is made?” queries a writer In
the Parents’ Magazine, declaring that
there Is apt to be one of two reasons
why a child does not like to read.
Either he has not mastered the tech
nique of reading to an extent where
no voluntary effort must be exerted
or else he has not had access In suffi
cient numbers to books which corre
spond to his Idea of a good story.
“Your child will read it he but dis
covers the books particularly right for
his Interests and tastes,” declares
the writer whose experiences with
children and books has convinced
her that there does not live the
youngster who will not listen to a
good story, and since reading Is only
a method of listening to a good story,
will not read if the book is about
something in which he is either ac
tually or potentially Interested; Is
written in words and style suitable
to his reading ability; has the de
gree of advancement suitable to both
his emotional and intellectual age
levels. Those two developments, by
the way, are at entirely different
rates of speed. As the writer adroit
ly puts It: “Children do the strang
est juggling and somersaulting as re
gards these ages, going Into a hand
spring a poised adolescent, coming
up at the end, an emotional eight-
year-old.”

MOVEMENT ON TO
GET FINGERPRINTS
OF ALL AMERICANS
The movement to fingerprint every
American Is gathering force, Vera
Connolly reports In December Good
Housekeeping.
This author Interviewed bankers.
Insurance men and lawyers as well
as state and federal authorities, and
found fingerprinting generally used
today In banks and commercial busi
ness’ firms to protect signatures.
The Bowery Savings bank, in New
York City, for instance, records the
impression of the fingertips of every
depositor.
"Some savings banks are going
even further,” she writes. “They
have under contemplation requiring
fingerprints on all withdrawal slips.
They require a fingerprint on a slip
before admitting a person to the safe
deposit vaults. This eliminates not
only the man bent on robbery, but
the racketeer or crook who wishes to
use his box as a hideaway for cash
bribes or stolen jewelry.
“Some day, undoubtedly, every one
of us, In drawing a check of large
denomination, on a commercial
bank, will as automatically finger
print It as now we sign it. This is a
prophecy made by many thoughtful
business men. Fingerprinting would
be too much trouble? If used on
small checks, yes. But would you re
gard the simple gesture of pressing
your finger against an Inkless pad
and then on top of your signature as
too exhausting an ordeal for the ab
solute protection it would afford a
large check?”
That fingerprinting Is going to be
required In the future on all accident
and life insurance policies is plain,
she says. It may be used also to
safeguard the forging of wills and
making of false claims to estates,
insurance or relationship. A will au
thenticated by a fingerprint of the
person making the will and also the
fingerprints of his beneficiaries can
not be forged If these fingerprints
have been placed on file in Wash
Ington.
Thousands of people today are
registering their fingerprints at
Washington. Those wishing to build
up the Civil Identification File in
Washington should write to the De
partment of Justice at Washington
for a “personal Identification” card,
fill It out with the help of some local
official and return it to Washington.
The government will do the rest.
