May be she has “embroidery nerves.” Dr. Louis ‘R. Welzmuller, physician director of the New York West Side Y. W. C. A., predicts that the new disease is about to announce itself. And, why? —_Because,»as Dr,‘ Welamuller ex- plains, the mother of today, and even the daugh- ter, isa whirlwind with, the knitting needles. They fly in the train, ‘at the theater, on thé front porch and everywhere, else where mother has a chance) to sit down. Not like the old days when grandma took her own sweet time. on that.shawl.

And, if Welzmuller has the| right hunch, the “embroidery nerves” will get} ‘mother if she “don’t” watch. out. “ETERNAL VIGILANCE” Americans are great for setting something down upon paper and considering it accomplish- “Make a law about it!” “Put it in the consti- tution!” Presto!; ‘Human, nature. is. changed. |: When the ‘first amendment was accepted, when ‘ the Bill of Rights was adoptedj.‘Amefica ‘settled down to the conclusion that she had settled all matters of personal liberty: for, all time. ;.: “Free speech?” | wh denise “Sure,” says the American. “It’s in the consti- tution; See! ‘Congress shall make no law abridg- ing thé fréedom of speech.’ Can't maké it‘plainer than that.” : Yet, in a crisis, Congress has no great difficulty enacting a law which actually restrains freedom of speech and which is sustained in the courts. “Eternal vigilance” is the price not only in lib- erty, but of everything worth having. Alas! the attitude of vigilance is such a tiring, trying one, and eternity is so long, so long! ACCEPT THE UNIVERSE Margaret Fuller, a noted American of the last century, used to say “I.accept the Universe.” And when Thomas ‘Carlyle hehrd of it he said “Gad, she’d better!” But accepting the universe is not so easy. It theans, for one thing, being willing to see it as it is, and not blinking facts that may not be to one’s _ taste. One need not keep his eye on the slaughter- house. But when he thinks of the universe he must not forget that it is there,.an essential part of every civilization, and that the world is full of carnivorous creatures armed. and.taught by na- ture to prey on other animals; that there. is a perpetual struggle for existence, ‘with death .at last for the stupid, the improvident and the un- wary; that the sins of the fathers are often vis- ited on their children in disease, in weakness, or in public contempt; that the innocent may suf- fer with the guilty; and that man’s long struggle with the world has left ‘him subject to fear and anger, jealously and suspicion, often cruel; incon- siderate, and grossly unreasonable. And accepting the Universe means that one does not grumble about these things or any oth- ers, like the Siberian Esquimaux, who beat their gods because the hills are so hard to climb and the winters are so cold, but adjusts himself happily to it all, taking the bitter with the sweet, and making the most out of his life wherever his lot may happen to be cast; that he won’t cry over spilled milk, or hope to eat his cake and have it too; but will pay the price of his blessings in pain and_ sweat, and take it all as.a part of the day’s work, without whining like a spoiled child for im- possibilities. FOREIGN MARKETS There is one certain way to prevent American farmers, cotton growers and workers at large from passing through a dangerous period of trade depression and unemployment. That way is to provide new markets for America’s foreign trade. Europe is in crying need of American goods. Americans at home are ceasing their extravagant buying. The American surplus can find eager takers across the Atlantic if a way for long term credits is provided. The American Bankers’ Association has ap- pointed a committce to report upon the organiza- tion of a hundred million dollars foreign trade corporation. The purpose of the. corporation would be to examine the liabilities of merchants in foreign countriés-who want American products. TRIBUNE The corporation would loan. its. money. to mer- rH times are now changing.

Under the Edge law it And ‘since Europe eventually will re-; cover, it is safe, if carefully directed. Europe has| no way of paying at present for what America has| \to offer. Therefore, credit must be extended or /no trading can be done. | When the American people themselves were ab-| sorbing whatever their farms, fields and factor-! | i i ‘is legal. ‘ies could produce, there was no domestic neces- jsity for making a bargain with Europe. But; are sounding that trade at home is not as good, as it was., Americans want no unemployed prob- jled‘all Europe since the armisice.

Whep soldiers returned to Bismarck from the Civil-War, they worshipped Florence Nightingale organize. ' ‘ She was the greatest nurse that ever lived, was Florence Nightingale. Largely due to her efforts, nursing was organized into a definite and honor- able occupation for women. f That is the reason why: May ‘12, the anniversaty of Florence, Nightingale’s birth in 1820, has been designated as National Hospital Day. Hospital Day is not a' “tag day,” nor a day on which any sort of drive on your pocketbook is ‘planned. : It’s merely a day on which hospitals and their patients invite you to drop in and learn the won- ders of modern hospital work. 5 If you have ever been a patient in a modern ‘hospital or visited a friend there, you know that ‘the hospital is-probably the finest institution that} our civilization has produced.. ; “The service rendered :by hospitals is vaster than you imagine. Arizona, with many ‘tuberculosis patients, has a hospital bed for every 77 people in the state.. That’s the highest:rate. Mississippi ranks last, with a hospital bed for every ‘1,222 people. . Me y Ohio, normal in health .and’ hospital develop- ment, has a hospital bed for-every 162 residents. This ‘probably illustrates the average importance of ‘hospital service in American communities— that at all times one in every 162 persons may receive hospital ‘treatment. ’ Nationa] Hospital ‘Day ‘hereafter will ‘be ob- served every year.

There appears to be a tendency to associate recog- nition with armed intervention, where- as the contrary seems to be the. ac- cepted policy,,that. is, recognition without armed. intervention. ‘ The American (policy :appears. to have, ben formulated -hy- Thomas.
