"No Man or Woman Should Carry a Revolver Unless" By PRANK C. NICHOLS; Colt's Manufacturing Co. LET it be distinctly understood that American manufacturer., do not favor promiscuous gun toting. We believe no man or woman should be permitted, to cany * pistol or revolver unless properly licensed, and such licenses-or permits should be granted only to such persons as are proven capable ot properly handling a loaded firearm and have a legitimate reason for going armed. We believe every pistol or revolver should bear a manufacturers' serial' number. This number should be recorded at ' The unfortunate angle, however, is that neither-laws nor records have so far kept pistols and revolvers out of the hands of criminals. Our feeling is that .the free possession of small arms by "this class is due to the general lack of enforcement of existing laws. It may be questionable, even in these days of common violence, whether there is an advantage in a reputable citizen being armed, but if circumstances should justifiy such means of self-protection, a license to carry should be procurable. However, waiving the "carrying" problem, we now turn to the pos session of arms for home protection. That is the constitutional right,, we believe, of every American citizen and we, as manufacturers,-believe we have the right to supply that want. A 8 to more legislation, we doubt its usefulness, except it be a clear ing up of the conflicting state laws, greater penalties for the misuse of small arms, the recording of all sales, the stoppage of sales to irrespon sible persons through the medium of the mails and sales-to be made to known and reputable persons by a responsible dealer over his counter. It is our opinion thfct shipments to individuals by mail or express should be prohibited in order to insure proper respect >for citv ordi nances and state laws. We believe the indiscriminate distribution of arms through the mail to persons of unknown age or character is a menace. Plans of Father and Son Movement Now Pecu liarly Appropriate By CALVIN COOLIDGE, President United States. In view of the present conditions throughout the world, which might involve even our own country, now so contented and peaceful, it seems , peculiarly appropriate Jhat there should be launched in our home land a program that has as its chief objective the desire that fathers reconse crate themselves to their paternal obligations, and that the attention of sons be directed to their obligation to their fathers, to their homes and to their country. The father and son movement is intended to lead sons -to a greater appreciation of their fathers and of their homes, and to a higher respect for them. It is also intended to encourage them to accept in a larger way their responsibilities as citizens. With the process of recuperation now going on throughout the world, it is imperative that the basic principles on Which America rests should be recognized bj all our citizens/ History points in no uncertain terms to the fact that great advances in civilization have come as the result of the awakening of the spiritual forces within the individual. No more appro priate way to accomplish this can be devised than that proposed in the plans of the national father and son movement. / f The Adoption of the Dollar-and-Cent System by the British Empire By J. RUSSELL GUBBINS, in the English Review. 11 The main reasons for giving the preference to the dollar-and-cent system {over the existing English coinage, or a pound subdivided into a thousand "mils") may be summed up as follows \ . Its adaptability for every-day transactions, and its greater simplicity for the keying of accounts. If we are to aim at one uniform empire xttrrency, that object is more likely to be attained through the dollar than through pound and mil. In not many years from now the number of people using the dollar will be much larger than the number of those using any other coin. This will make the dollar the predominant standard. The adoption of the dollar by the British empire- would bring us into line with the great English-speaking communities of North America, and strengthen ties between Anglo-Saxon nationalities. Four Millions of Americans Lost to Civilization and to Progress By ALBERT V. SIMIS, in McClure'g Magazine. Today in the United States 4,000,000 native-born American citizens, sons and daughters of American-born parents, are locked up and lost to progress and civilization on an "inland island" 100,000 square miles in area—the Appalachian mountain region of the South. Many of them are today living as their forebears did two centuries ago—in some cases not even as well. In the past year I have talked with persons in these mountains of Kentucky, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia and Tennessee who have never seen an American flag, who have never seen a railroad train, a city, a building more than two stories high, a movie, a radio, a telephone,* an airplane. There are thousands of families" there whose cash income for a year does not reach SSO. I know a schoolhouse, if you can dignify the shack by that name, that never had a bench or a chair in it, where the children sit on a rail around the walls—and where thery speak the Lutguage of Sljakespeare, sometimes using words almftt oDsOrete m anaicespeaiv e aaj. . "Settlement Based on Fair Play and a Sporting Chance for Under Dog*' By CAPT. PERCY REDFERN CREfeD, British Spwtsman. There can be no peace on earth or good will, or the settled condition* on which trade and commerce, the lifeblood of humanity, depend until a settlement is reached based on fair play for all and a sporting chance for the under dog. *- It is up to the sportsmen of the world to get together and to infuse into the public opinion of the world and of their own countries the spirit and freemasonry of sportsmanship, for in this spirit lies the only hope of man. No real sportsman was ever a bad Christian. And up to America to lead the way. She holds the Yachting cup, the Polo cap, the International Horse Racing cap, and moat of the champienshipe in games and athletics. She is tip largest country. She is the biggeat nation. A gesture from the sportsmen of America would hare far-reaching and immediate reaction*.
