Her name was Atalanta. You remember how, being forbidden by the gods to wed, she challenged all her suitors to a foot-race and thus got rid of them by beat- ing them. All, that is, save Hippomenes, who was wise enough to throw golden apples on the ground, which threw the maiden off her stride when she stooped to grab them. Now they have found modern Atalantas in South Africa. The Count Treath Cape-to-Cairo expedition reports marvel- ous running by the native women of Rhodesia. They develop astonishing speed and run down deer in three hours. They have no difficulty keeping pace With an auto going at a fair clip and are quite fresh after the long- est rush. What they would do in track meets, where bong rests and diet are part of the program, is something for the imagina- tion to work on. BEHIND Massachusetts, concededly one of the more “enjJightened” states as regards the education and general living conditions of its citizens, has medical standards lower than those in 42 of our 48 states. Efforts to have the laws improved have been made ever since the present law relating to the practice of medicine was enacted in 1894. Massachusetts requires of its physicians only a high school preliminary education and graduation from a medical school which gives a four years’ course. This permits grad- uates from standard schools to be registered. A bill raising the standards is now before the Legisla- ture and, as usual, an active lobby is working against it. So the responsible medical societies of the state, and the big city health departments, are asking support of the bill. It would mean better qualified practitioners and less menace from the quacks. JUST PINS It takes vision to see a gigantic industry and enormous profits in a little thing like a pin. Think what faith and pplicnce the man possessed who started the first pin fac- ory! Today the annual production of safety pins alone exceeds one billion; ordinary straight pins, of course, must run much higher. And today it takes no prophet to see the money in this industry. The Copper and Brass Research Association tells you that the manufacture of pen knives and safety pins con- sumes in excess of six million pounds of copper and its alloys each year. Estimates place the total output of knives at 15 million a year. The, way to get rich is to discover something that the public can’t do without—and then start making it. OLD LAW There’s an old English maxim, by the famous old Eng- lish Judge Coke, that “Every dog is entitled to one bite.” lodern application of that ruling is to be found in a re- cent court decision in Los Angeles, A dog took a nip out of a baker boy’s arm. Damage suit was brought. The defendant said it was the dog’s first bite and no one denied it. Said the judge: ‘How shall a dog who never has mani- fested any vice be supposed by its owner to be of vicious character? There obviously must be a first bite, and hard as it may be upon the unfortunate victim of this, so to speak, maiden bite, he apparently is left without recourse.” In which ruling a fine sentiment was combined with com- mon sense. _ SLEEP If you want to get thin and have a youthful figure, go to bed early and get lots of sleep, advises Dr. Thomas Darl- ington, former health commissioner of New York. “Many women,” asserts the doctor, “stay up late at night playing bridge in the belief that it makes them thin, when |: the opposite is true.” From which statement the only conclusion to be drawn is that late hours will make you fatter if you are already too fat, and thinner if you are trying to gain. In other words, you can’t cheat yourself out of necessary Bleep and “get by” with it. Proper rest is the greatest doc- tor of all. FLU Health officials never yet have succeeded in stopping an epidemic of influenza. The avoidance of “flu” or its conse- quences is a personal problem for each individual. This is the time of year to be particularly on guard against “flu” and pneumonia—as the two always go together —for in most vicinities their ravages usually reach the max- imum toward the close of winter. _ Cleanliness, good physical condition_and plenty of sleep are our best safeguards. Something besides germs is usually required to make us sick. Much depends on our general condition—our “resistance.” © : Few people like things to do. Inheritance taxes may be increased, but this. will never work because there are so many other ; worry very many of us. ‘ Even though these are ticklish times for the politicians rfew-of them seem to be tickled: $ Editorial Review _ Comments reproduced in tbis column may or may not express the opinion of The are presented our readers ma; of important being disc ‘ribune. here in order ay have both sides lssues which are im the press of COOPERATING DAIRY FARMERS (New York Times) In a recent volume, “Our Rural Heritage,” Professor James Mickel Williams of Hobart College divides the physchological deveiopment of rurei New York into three periods. | The first, from colonization down }to about 1873, he characterizes as an era of pronounced adherence to custom. It was the age of intense individualism. The second, from 1874 to 1900, marks a period of re- organization attenaed by heavy emigration to the towns and cities and to the West. It was accom: panied by a relaxation of some of the old rigid social customs. The third, from 1900 to the present, ibe- trays the tendency toward scien- tific agricultural methods and lar- ger cooperation. The schools of agriculture have hastened this movement, as have also the farm ‘bureau agents supported by joint Federal, State and local aid. The ‘Dairymen’s League «bing much to further the princ of cooper- ation in-theory as well as in prac- tice. The difficulties besetting the or- ganization of thousands of dairy farmers throughout the State are naturally great. The overhead machinery is in itself enormous. The purpose of all such coopera- tive undertakings is to obtain the most favorable market for the farmer's product, returning to him ‘the extra profit which would other- wise go to middlemen. From the cow to the city kitchen is a lengthy ‘process. The milk must be cleanly ‘handled and promptly classified, sterilized and cooled, It must then be shipped to the cities and ‘there distributed. Furthermore — and this is one of the greatest problems facing all cooperative undertakings — provision must be made for using a temporary sur- plus of production. More interesting to the general public are what might be termed the by-products of the cooperative movement. These reach into the home life of the farmers. The broadened knowledge of markets anid of costs of production which result from taking part in a co- operative organization have done much to stimulate interest in the breeding of better cattle and in the advantages of scientific farming. Federal and State agents have done all that they could to foster; ‘this, with the result that there has ‘been a marked improvement in the herds and farms throughout the State. One of the results of this has been a general improvement in the quality of the milk which reaches the consumer. Further- more, the common interest invol- ved in cooperation in the same ‘business has done much to bring farmers together. The greater certainty of markets has made it Possible for may farmers to ‘pian their year better, and has also brought larger financial inuepend- ence to many who under: the old system ‘barely made bot ends meet. Everything points to a spread of cooperative marketing. Unfortu- nately, many experiments to date have not met original hopes. But the principle is fundamentally sound. The dairymen have under- taken a work on a very large scale. Upon the success of their effort will depend much of the suc- cess of the entire cooperative movement in this State.

ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Suddenly the March Hare stop- ped. “I declare,” said he anxious- ly. “I forgot completely. I com- pletely forgot. I certainly did.” “What?” asked Nick. “What did you forget, Mister Hare?” the March Hare impatiently. “The notifi—what?” Twins together. “The notification,” said the March Hare. “I have to notify somebody about something so that somebody else won’t know that something has happened.” “For goodness sake!” said Nan- cy. “You're a regular riddle book, Mister Hare, that’s exactly what you sound like.” ‘ “What's that?” said the hare absently. “What sounds like a riddle? Just because I said that if a certain person didn’t do some- thing, or rather if he did do some- thing, a second person would take advantage and make trouble just because the first person didn’t do: it! It’s all as clear as butter.” The Twins laughed merrily. “Whatever are you talking about, Mister March Hare? We don’t un- derstand a word. What is it all about ?” “Snakes,” said the hare so short- ly that the Twins jumped. “Snakes!” they shoute “Yes, s—n—a—k—e—-s, snakes,” said the hare with a worried look. “You see ‘it’s this way. Right under those rocks the whole snake family is asleep. They haven’t the least idea that it is so near spring, in fact that spring is here. And | want them to stay asleep as long as possible. There is only one} thing that will wake them up and that mustn’t happen.” “What?” asked Nick. “I shall have to get word to Mister Sprinkle Blow, the Weather Man, to keep the nuisance fairies locked up tight. If the Storm Boys get out and begin pounding their drums up in the sky, pop!—every snake, this side of China will wake up like a shot.” “They won’t sleep all summer, will they?” asked Nancy. “They have to wake up some time.” “Sure,” said the March Hare, “but not until all the little toads and all the little frogs and all the little rabbits and all the little everythings have got a good start and can hop away as soon as they see Mister Snake coming. The longer the spring thunder holds off, the better chance they will have to grow.” “Then let’s hurry and send word to Mister Sprinkle Blow,” said Nancy anxiously, looking up at some black clouds. But before the March Hare could answer, flash—crash—bang! Such a loud clap of thunder split the sky that everybody jumped about a foot. “Too late now,” said the March Hare. “And all because I talked. so much. That’s what comes of talking instead of acting. Now I'll have to go and telephone to Mrs. Toad to watch her children and not leave them alone for a minute, And a lot of other people besides.” The rain began then and the March Hare said that would bring all the snakes out sure even if the The great trouble with spring is a man’s wife. wants him to be too blame enthusiastic about the flow. ers. 9 Someone has said that a | fern!

Rowell If there is dissatisfaction with the increase of congres- sional salaries, a curious remedy is at hand. _ A In 1790, 12 amendments to the Constitution were sub- mitted, 10 of which passed. The other two are still pend- ing, subject to ratification at any time with resubmission. One of them, providing that congressional units shall have at least 50,000 inhabitants is of course long since obso- lete, now that they have five times that number. _— But the other is startlingly up to date. It provides that no increase in congressional salaries shall take effect until an election has intervened. If there were really serious opposition, the legislatures now in session, by ratifying that forgotten amendment, could end the whole thing. Being a president is still a hazardous occupation. Kai- ser Wilhelm der Letzte managed to survive 30 years on the throne, and now nearly.seven years of exile, in excellent health, but Frederich Ebert, first president of Republican Germany, is dead, after less than six years in office. Ebert was the product of the first republican upheaval in Germany, before either the communist or the monarchist reaction, and he has been, through this trying time, the for making such lovely arrangements newspaper writer and labor u could be from the old aristoc: character and temperament. He took, it, a revolutionary wreck and a paper document, He leaves it a going concern, That, after all, was the greatest achievement of even George Wash- ington. MORE HOUSES ARE NEEDED President Coolidge, for all his con- servative horror of “Socialism,” did not hesitate to recommend a rent- limitation law for Washington, and now that his bill has failed in the closing jam, he proposes to resort to court injunctions, or any other plan, to prevent evictions for re- fusal to pay increased rent. ‘As the principal employer in the district, the government would ulti- mately have to pay these rents, in either increased salaries or poorer service, Might there not be a way more in accord with practical cconomi If rents are held down artifically |there will be no more new building. Present tenants may be taken care of, but newcomers cannot find hous- ing at any price. The only real way to bring rents down is to build more houses. A great private employer, in the same situation, would go into the ‘housing business. The goyernthent need not do that directly, but a government-financed ‘second mortgage company could do it indirectly. Then, with more houses, the rent question would take care of itself. ANY GOVERNMENT WILL GOVERN Responsibility makes conservative. Witness the labor governments of Australia and England. And now comes the radical labor fovernment of Mexico, blankets -in railway workers as government em- ployes, to deprive them of the right to strike, and mobilizes armed forces to protect strikebreakers on the street railways of Mexico City. It is doubtless well that it is a labor government that does these [cai ability and one of steadiest and perhaps the wisest force in Germany. A man of the people, trained as workman, inn-keeper, nion leader, he was as far as ratic type of German official. But, by a miracle of good luck, he turned out to be a man of surprising ability, as well as of remarkable soundness of “The greatest man in Germany,” a keen American of exceptional opportunity for observation recently called him At any rate, the German Republic is his monument. It can “get by” with them. But any government, of any faction, in power, will govern. You could not get anarchy, even if you chose an- archists. REAL LEADERS, BUT WHO KNOWS THEM? Thirty-six years ago, Thomas B. Reed, William McKiniey and Joseph G. Cannon were candidates before the Republican caucus for speaker of the fifty-first Congress. Reed was chosen, but every news- paper reader in America knew—and knows yet—the names of both the defeated candidates also. These were three of the half-dgzen best-known men in the country. It is no disparagement to Nicholas Longworth, gspeaker-designate, Mar- tin Madden, his defeated opponent, and John Q. Tilson, chosen floor leader, to say that, whatever their abilities, their public reputation does not remotely approach that of these predecessors of long ago. The quality of Congress may or not have declined, but its prestige certainly has. And yet, all three of these are men of really outstanding careers. Madden, chairman of the committee on appropriations during the era of the establishment of the budget, has had the carrying out of _ policies which saved the nation billions. Longworth, with « career of 20 jyears of leadership in Congress, of the most popular and genial of men, is probubly known to thousrnds as a son-in-law where he is known te one as a personally distinguished indi- vidual. Tilson, 14 years in Congress, per- haps its most expert parliamentarian, a leader first in_military and then in tariff legislation, is scarcely known at all. These are our leaders; real ones, and capable“ ones, too. But who knows them? Evidently, something has ‘happened to Congress, to hide things. The more Mrs. Jones talked about any given subject, the more interested she was, and a train of suggestions on what to do and what not to do usually followed. So Mr. Jones was not the least [bit surprised at her turning the discussion cn disease germs. to the menace of. house flies. “Are you sure you put away all the screens for the windows and doors where they would not rust out during the winter?” she asked. “Albsolutely sure,” was the reply. “Well, I just wanted to know.
