It was purel labor of love, the heeding of 4 call from the sick and distressed. We become too used to such heroism’ to'igive it the proper credit. A chivalry much more practical and disinterested than that which char- acterized the age of knighthood, is displayed every day be- fore us and too lightly credited by the public. Gunnar Kasson, from his name, a hardy Norseman, faces a blizzard on a dog-sled and delivers 300,000 units of the anti-toxin, a feat seldom attained by the most seasoned mushers. The name of Kasson will stand out prominently for a few days and then what he did will be forgotten, but such acts show the true nobility of character for after all “kind hearts are more than coronets and simple faith than Norman blood.” All credit to Gunnar Kasson! A GAIN Don’t be too fatalistic about cancer. In Pennsylvania 13 years of educational work have cut down the average time, between discovery of first symptoms in superficial cancer and first call on the doctor, from 18 months to 14.6 months. That’s 20 per cent. In cases of deep-seated cancer the interval has been reduced nearly one-half. All over the country people are applying more promptly than they used to for medical aid, and physicians are apply- ing proper treatment with less delay. Compared with progress made in combating other dis- eases, this may seem a feeble accomplishment. But don’t worry, science yet will conquer cancer. LOWEST How well do you know your country’s geography ? “Most people, if asked to name the lowest point in Utah, would answer “Salt Lake,” the remnant of the great prehis- toric Lake Bonneville, a body of fresh water that once cov- ered a large area in Utah. “The lowest point, however, is Beaverdam Creek, in Wash- ington county. It is 2000 feet above sea level. Utah, by the way, has an approximate mean elevation of 6100 feet. Only two other states, Colorado and Wyoming, | are higher. The Interior Department at Washington issues a bulletin containing these fac We know too little about our great west. BIG SCALE America does nothing by halves. Electric light and power companies of the United States raised about 12 hun- dred million dollars last year to continue and expand their operations, With these additions the companies are able to produce more than five billion kilowatt hours of electricity a month —a hitherto unheardof figure. In 1923 two million more Americans became electricity users. Last year is expected to show a greater increase when final figures are compiled. We are the quickest peopie to transform seeming luxuries into necessities. SCATTERED Ownership of wealth is scattering fast. Stockholders in the nation’s industries now are estimated at 14,400,000 ac- cording to H. T, Warshow, economist for the National Lead ‘0. In 1900 this figure was approximately 10 million less. Best of all, there has been a shifting of ownership from the very wealthy to the “white collar’ and wage earning classes. The largest increase has been in that class whose incomes have not exceeded $5000. Americans learned a great thrift lesson from our Liberty “Bond campaigns. -MARVEL We wonder how Paavo Nurmi “does it.” The marvelous break two or three world records every time he races. It may be that track athletes as a whole pay too much attention to “form.” Nurmi, says the stylists, lacks true form. He swings his body; he runs flat-footed; he even car- ries a watch and times his pace. Could it not be that Nurmi’s secret of success is his very disregard of the theories laid down by generations of train- ers, and a development along lines laid down by Numri. Most great successes ‘are trail’blazers. SUGAR World’s greatest sugar harvest is in prospect for 1925. The outlook indicates a production of nearly 23 million long tons, three million more than last. year. The reason is Cuba’s enormously increased crops. Cuba’s intensive sugar planting is a direct result of the World War. It was the collapse of European production, when a third of the world’s sugar area was enclosed within, battle lines, that gave Cuba the stimulus to make up the deficit. And Cuba will keep on going. People must buy from her when she is' the lowest cost sugar producer in the world. <<.

There are here any number of men who have made their “pile” in com- mercial pursuits and are ready lean back and become famous. other words, they have the urge write the stories of their lives that they may become as beacons others, But most of these hard-head- ed giants of commerce are also thick- headed, being able to write little more than their names.

She spends more moi han conscience on new dre: that ire too youthful to be becoming, for she has seen with what avidity her iusband’s eyes rest on younger wo- nen. s has not yet learned that by calling attention to one’s lack of outh, by wearing that which is only he compliment of youth, she defeats he very results she wishes to at- ain. ; So engrossed is she in trying to heat time that for’a month or so the does not realize that she is be- ng left more and more alone—that er pretliest gowns and up-to-the-| ninute hats do not evoke a quiver f the eyelid, let alone the brighten- ng of the eye of her lord and mas- er. All at once she perceives that he, too, is indulging in fine raiment of the most youthful type; that a flow- er always which his hatband rivals in brilliancy adorns his buttonhole and color. She falls to wondering at all this 2rinking on his part as he has told DonT Be AFRAID TO TAKe Ale You WANT=fiere!s LOTS OF iT The Tangle :: her that his business was never 50 pressing; that it necessitates work early and late.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1925 Less Moralizing and More Facts By Chester H. Rowell The sooner we can bring this French debt question from morals down to facts, the more hope there is of a sensible S ent. gay nn Borah’s moral showing, therefore, that the French ought to pay, following Deputy Marin’s moral show- ing that they ought not to do so, may have neutralized both moralities out of the question, and so cleared the way for a practical show-down. The French had to go through this with Germany. For isix years they demonstrated morally that Germany opght to pay. The argument was perfectly good, and nobody denied it; but it produced nothing. ; The real question was not whether Germany OUGHT to pay, but what Germany COULD pay, and how. y ‘ As soon as they asked the right question, the answer was simple. It is the same with France and America. The sooner France comes down from the moral bluff that she ought not to pay to the practical confession that she cannot pay, the better for her soul, as well as for the actual settlement. That raises a question of fact, capable of ascertajnment. Then some modified Dawes plan can be agreed on, by which France will deliver to our collector in Paris whatever it is found she can afford to pay, and he will transfer to us what- get any, of what is owed us. truth is unwelcome, bat it is cheap- er to find*out now than later. THE 200 PER CENT AMERICAN VIEW It is argued that because we made a separate peace with Ger- many, we should also make separate arrangements for payment. We did. We arranged, separately, to share all the rights, and to be exempt separately from all the re- sponsibijities of the treaty of Ver- sailles. Now we have got this recognized by the other powers, too. They agree that we shall have our share of the Dawes payments, and we do not agree to have any share in col- lecting them. What more could we do sepa- To her husband she is just his old wife, who has been standing in the same place for the last 20 years, as hus his easy chair or his smoking set or humidor. He, has not even noticed the change in her hair from the brown of their early honeymoon days to the slightly graying tinge. They are growing further and further apart. One day she accepts an engagement for luncheon at one of the newer, fashionable hotels which before this she has sedulously avoided | + In a rather secluded corner she notices beside her own table, one set for two. It ‘is beautifully decorated with flowers’ and at-one place is a great bunch of ‘violets with a gar-| denia in the center, the twin of which is lying on the napkin on the other side. The woman thinks rather envious- ly that probably two young lovers are going to enjoy a tryst, when to her amazement she ‘sees her husband, locking very young and happy, seat a gorgeously lovely woman of about 30 at the violet-decorated table. The woman half arises as if to leave her table, and then finding that her husband does not see her immediately, she sinks back into her chair, resolving to see it through.

The GOOD WILL ALL THAT'S NEEDED San’ Francisco is greeting the vis- iting Japahese training fleet( with utmost hospitality and friendliness. Call it a “gesture” if you like but it is of such gestures, that the amenities of civilized intercourse are composed. Japan did even better, whem the American fleet called during ‘c fa, mous Roosevelt tour around, the world. Those things help always and particularly now, when there are questions between the two peo- ples, on which they have not agreed. This is a visible demonstration, of what was already evident to all men of perception, that differences -of opinion on national policies need not affect the friendship of peoples. Demagogues on both sides of the Pacific notwithstanding, there is no question between America and Japan which is not capable of adjustment, or of peaceful disagreement, by friendly conference, All that is needed is good will. Fundamentally, that good will ex- ists. These amenities make it pleas- antly visible, FABLES ON HEALTH COLD WATER BATHS If you want good health,'a clear complexion, and a well-toned system, take a cold water hand bath every day of the year, Mr. Jones ef Any- town was told by the family doctor. About half the accumulated im- purities of the body must be thrown out through the skin. An unclean skin. often is the parent of much illness, and many so-called conta- gious diseases, The water for a bath should be of a temperature to suit’ the body. If a person is of vigorous constitu- tion, or wishes to be, the water should be cold. + Tf the body can not stand cold water, begin by taking baths in luke- warm water, and have it less warm each day, as the body gradually, be- comes accustomed to it. Ie Rub the body vigorously while bathing. Too vigorous rubbing after the bath is not wise, especially if one does not remain in a very warm room afterward, Vigorous rubbing causes one to perspire and then, to become chilled after dressing. If a hot water bath is taken, ehd it with a rinse in cold water. And one should feel neither too chilled nor too warm. after leaving the bath, er hand few go out without tipping. Another waitress in a Broadway re- staurant tells me she averages $4.50 a day in tips. Quite a few of her tips are a quarter or more. Howevér, many of the patrons of that restaur- ant are girls and women who sit and: chat for several hours. Thus she hasn’t as great a turnover~'as the Sixth avenue waitress, ' One vestige of the “good old days” remains in ap uptown barroom.
