l Don’t Let Yourself Get Rust} !
No Man Can Afford toGive I p!
j$ Fellow citizen, do not y**urselt
P to get rusty and run down so that pc-<q»!e
p will come up and scratch matches on > >u
R, : Reference to anyone stepping up and
P Using you to scratch a match on is made.
I of course, figuratively.
It On the side of a downtown residence,
|Which stands near the walk, on a short
r side street, we noted in a recent jaunt,
R presumptuous pedestrians have engaged
| in the practice literally.
W, These pedestrians are none the less
| vandals and subject to court fines for
p malicious destruction of property, but the
pfact of a thousand scratches upon the
I side of thip residence is all the fault of
lithe owner.
H When a man wants to scratch a match
i.fie looks about generally for something
Kthat another little scratch won't do any
I I Upon rare occasions, such as when he
Ht* left to choose between a friend's high
| |y polished piano and a friend's richly
l atained center table, a man will indicate
disposition to sacrifice his own pants,
phut never when there is anything around
I which approaches a suitable alternative
feby way of a friction point.
It was the fault of the owner of the
I house that there were a thousand match
Wfcratches on its side because the owner
1 had let the house run down to the point
inviting scratches.
Rather than use his own pants some
It pedestrian had said to himself. “I'll u.>e
||-the Ride of this weather beaten old
Hptdlding here.”
> And then another pedestrian came
H along and saw the scratch and said:
Bp has used the side of thi-
Kpaather-beaten old building to scratch
rajd match on, so I'll use it, too.”
I F And then another came along and saw
g the two match scratches, and then an
p-Ofcher came along and saw three, and so
I GO and so forth until the building’s side
plonks as if it had been subjected to a
Pbombardment with shrapnel.
B We do not know so much about that
iLgaying that “fine feathers make fine
: A fine bird is a fine bird in any kind
Kwf raiment.
Those who first look uj>on the feath*
§S«r» in going aV>out among people and in
& meeting people must have their han i
| full these days in guarding against pre
p- judgment of men who may look like
Jktramps but who are really motor en-
Kthusiasts belonging to the upper crust.
B The superficiality of the world is one
Jglcf the things that al! properly advised
persons and institutions will Ir* suit to
Kwonsdier, for it is a thing that mud cer
m tainly be reckoned with.
; [ So KEEP UP A FRONT.
JF/ We don’t mean by that you shouM g
Hlunound looking like an usher at a wed*
Ff Simply guard against giving your
■lftlfrhbor or your employer or your em-
Bkloye or your customer the idea that
Klfmi are rusting or have reached the
Kfcce of DOST CARE.
K. When others begin to notice that you
Wt care, they won’t care.
K When you let down, others will let
|K Keep brushed up in appearance and
your mind brushed up.
ifßy all means don't let yourself got
EWsty Intellectually.
Ji Keep abreast of the times and of
nproffrea* individually and in your bust-
EpMs or profession.
h Qr the other fellow will come along
BpU scratch matches on you.
W&And it will be your own fault.

“Per” means “by." “Capita” means
J “head ”
Thus we have “by c hea i.’ through
ju\tapo>mg the tw words.
lioubtles's you often heaid of selling
eattle at much jh r head,
i Well, "per capita," applies to ;hh>plo,
has the same meaning.
Tii'.' ”?l.i*oo [vr capita” signifies that,;
counting heads and money, there are
i,dollars to match every head in
Ameru a. Thaf< all.
I> n’t get the delusion that every head
t f> •<> owns $1.1>50, Richard, for such
i> i: t tn case, by a large majority.
tin t!.»* entrary, it is prebal !e that the
great majority of felks haven't within a
gunshot of $1,950.
You -ee. if Mr. Rockefeller, for in
>tance, fas SUhS"»M f r .nstance. h:>
money represents 10. Ono people, figuring
on the f>er capita bsais.
If Undo John has $1 , .*5.00c..i»«*»•. it rep
resents lt'O.OoO heads < I people, and so
j on.
Those Washington ollk ials are a cheery
lot, Richard.
They like to make f Iks happy by
showing them what they would have
were the wealth of the country equally
divided, and so they announce $1,950.per
capita.
Os course, if Uncle Rockefeller held all
the slS7.<x*o, , n‘o,o<m>. tnose pleasant
t Washington fellow s could still announce
“$1,950 j»er capita.”
IJut, Richard, don’t be downcast if
you’ve get only sso of your per capita
$1,95»>.
Just think how happy you’d lie if you
j had $ 1,950.
| That’s what those Washington fellows
i are after.
They just want to make you feel good.
It doesnt’ cost them anything, and Mr.
Rockefeller doesn’t mind it.
(let it clearly, Richard, and don’t go to
splurging in Wall-5t.—“51,950 per cap
ita” simply signifies that there would be
$1,950 of wealth for every American,!
were the wealth equally divided,
i It is merely a picture, Richard, a nice
j picture in black and white, with an offi-:
jcial frame.

The World Significance of
Aircraft and Submarines
BY DR TRANK CRANE
tCop) right. UMfi. by Frank thane)
H. (!. Wells, in a recent article, calls
attention to the fact that the aircraft
ami the submarine mark an entirely new
turn in the direction of warfare.
Uy these devices war ceases to he a
struggle l-etMeen armed forces only, and
becomes a campaign of malicious mis
chief. The fiction of "legalized" or
‘civilized" warfare i> at an end. .Na
tional egotism, v hose main cre*ul is that
what the woi id most needs is for M\
nation to compier, stops at nothing. The
murder of inn* sa*nt non-combatants,
wanton demolition of property, outrage
upon women, bomb-dropping on unde
fended cities, deadly i *‘.s, and poisoned
wells, all are made us of b> exabperated
militarisni.
It is not true that enp nes «»f destruc
tion can be made -o horr '«|e that JP'V
iernments will no longer to war.
That is one of the d< lu ion tl ■ conflict
has dispelled. Nothing l'* 1 "■ udiuman,
io*> atrocious to employ, under the spe
! i’ions argument that anything is justi
fiable when one’s country is in danger.
Uut what has been plainly proved is,
•hat. under the present s\>t**m of in
[ dependent national governments, the
wm Id is rapidly reverting to -a\ a>rery.
Tiiere is ai»out as much international
law arid civilized warfare in the present
»ut break as there is in an uprising of
red Indians. Kverythinjf There
is no limit to inhumanity.
We must either think out Mime way
*f preventing war or civilization must
i perish tn the frigantie hate sand passions
>f nationalism, “hither mankind must
succeed, within «iuitc a brief jH»ri"d of
years, in establishing a world state, a
world ifovernment of some sort able to
prevent war,” says Mr. W ells, “or civili
zation as we kn*ow it must break up into
ja system of warring communities, por
l*etually on the warpath, perpetually in
>ecure, ami engaged in undying national
vendettas.”
And this world state, the only pos
sible cure for war, is not going to come
ibout by any natural evolution. We are
not progressing toward it, we are rctro
gradlng from it. There i' not one hint
that any such thing is in the minds of
the Kumpean nations.
World government mu-t originate in
(the Western Hemisphere.
World government must be deliberate
ly promised, intelligently worked for, ar
iuousiy an<T enthusiastically pursued.
If the people of the United States of
America do not advance this, if the
South American republics do not earnest
ly join us in the movement, if the sen
ile and congress do not go forward in
some constructive proposition toward in
ternational federation and cease prating
•f “defense” on the one hand and
“peace" on the other, and if the Wilson
administration does not >eue this tp
r>ortunity to do tt v "tio thing that alone
can stop war, we shall one and all lie
recreant to the solemn duty that destiny
has put upon us.
What we want is not bickering with
•his and that nation to preserve the pre
carious equilibrium of neutrality; what
we want i> A< TION, a definite proposal,
to the American Hemisphere, t > the
Orient, to Uurope, and to all nations to
