(Official City, State and County Newspaper) HOW IS YOUR HEALTH? We have all of us speculated on what would be the three best wishes we could make if some fairy god- mother gave us assurance that they would be fulfilled. In perhaps every case good health is one of the wishes. We all feel certain that without good health nothing else would be worth much. But however firmly we may cling to this conviction, our actions do not always indicate that we gréatly de- sire this blessing. We are not always willing to make the little sacrifice in time and thought which we must make if we are to remain in good health. The individ- ual is rare indeed who gives any thought to his physical welfare until he finds himself failing in health, and the farther we have gone into a state of ill health,the more firmly we resolve to guard ourselves against ailments in the future. The situation is serious enough to demand attention, both from the individual and from the social group. “It is very unusual today,” said a health expert recently, “to find an adult of 40 years who is normal physically.” And though not all of us may admit it in our own case, this assertion confirms a belief which is not only com- mon among health experts, but which is possible of Proof. “We are trying to educate the public to give their bodies the same careful attention that they give their automobiles,” said Dr. Sunwall, University of Michigan Professor of hygiene. This is all the more remarkable because all of us ap- Ppreciate what a fine thing good health is.‘ We never tire of praising the individual who is blessed in this way. “The very picture of health,” is a phrase in common use among us. We glory in what this or that individual can do at 50 or 60 years of age, and are discouraged when our own physical body does not respond 60 readily at 45 as it did at an earlier age. s ‘We may need an imaginary godmother to grant us whatever other things we crave, but in a great, many cases the securing of good health is within our own power. For most of us there is little more required than the habit of looking after ourselves much as we look after anything that we treasure and intend to keep. U FOR MORE PALATABLE STAMPS When some unnamed hero suggested to the postoffice department at Washington that flavored glue be placed on postage stamps, postoffice officials were not a little * amused and amazed, but made no move to deny that the *stickum” on the stamps is unpalatable, if not down- tight nauseating. Tt may not be a strong selling point in stamps to flavor them with peppermint, clove or spearmint, but there is something to be said for the proposed innova- tion. The plan was proposed as a scheme to make less dis- tasteful the affixing of stamps and to increase the sale of stamps and the number of joy-bringing letters. Pic- ture the tremendous volume of business the postoffice has lost through this quite general dislike for licking Postage stamps. But might not flavored postage stamps find great demand as a confection or breath scent? A man feels a longing for a certain pungent flavor. ‘Where can he buy it so cheaply as on astamp? Having extracted the mind from the stamp he will, if he be thrifty, write a letter lest the mailing worth of the stamp be wasted. It has been suggested that it is a good opportunity for the government to kill three birds with one stone. The stamps might be flavored with confiscated liquors, thus providing postage flavors without cost to the postoffice department, satisfying the “taste for liquor” of those acofflaws who say they only want a “taste,” and making it unnecessary to pollute the sewers with the contra- band booze. THE COAST GUARD ‘With most people the name Coast Guerd is today syn- nymous with rum chasers, Perhaps it is because this newest job of the guard monopolizes the publicity that the public has forgotten the purposes for which it was organized. » It may be worth while, for the sake of the Coast Guard, to point out that last year this arm of the fed- etal service rescued more persons from drowning than it gathered in as liquor smugglers. Rendering assist- ance to vessels in distress and saving life and property are the primary duties of the Coast Guardsmen. Pro- tection of the customs revenue, which means war on all kinds of smuggling, whether it be whisky or Chinese, comes much farther down in their list of functions, » Destruction of derelicts, wrecks and icebergs as dan- gers to navigation is worth the whole cost of the serv- fee to the taxpayers. Since the Coast Guard ice patrol was started in the North Atlantic, not one serious acci- dent from floating ice has occurred in that region. The American service ships patrol the steamship lanes in the vicinity of the Grand banks and send wireless warnings of all bergs in sight, giving the location. f ee A maactinnd dob toy Coast Guardsman to per- his duties that are all in a day's work.

Fathers have found that their best intentions were all wrong. They can not keep pace with the fads and fancies in child psychology and child training. Boy- hood is the training school for future fathers, but the modern father has discovered that since he was a boy 9 everything relating to the upbringing of a boy has been changed, even the method of discipline and of teaching the three R's, So fathers shrug their shoulders in bewilderment and, in resignation, slink off to the links, PATIENCE In retrospect, events may seem to have moved swiftly enough, and we may think also that other men make quick progress towards success, but it is rarely that our own fate and fortunes unfold at the pace we would choose, Our ambition lays out a hopeful course, which we are confident we can follow; our eyes have already seen the desired destination and, therefore, our heart and hopes outstrip the slow passage of events. Interruptions and disappointments, irksome, trivial and beyond our anticipation and control, arise daily to check and prolong our labors, and it needs no less pa- tience than endurance to weather such small storms and accidents, But the passage of time in itself contributes to real achievement, and for this we may forgive the delays that prevent us from too headlong a course. Time per- mits us to mature in orderly fashion to the scale of our ambitions; time leavens our enthusiasm with judgment and self-confidence with proper humility; time teaches proportion and shows us where our best work belongs. This is a slow alchemy but necessary to ourselves and the work to which we are dedicated. True patience is not merely a dull endurance of the hazards of fortune. It is rather the habit of turning to some account the changes and chances that lie in our path, so that when our high opportunity comes we may be ready for it. Ocean flights are spectacular, but you can get the same results by walking on a lonely street with some- thing like a payroll satchel. Still, a good provider would be just as popular as a perfectly wonderful dancer if a girl could use him to make others envious. Progress is slow, and it usually takes an alien family two generations to decide that it came over on the Mayflower. is America has few impressive chimes, but that little bell on the cash register suits the national taste better anyway. Editorial Comment : | FIREPROOF FUEL? OLD STUFF! (Minneapolis Journal) A Russian has invented a fireproof gasoline, for air- planes and automobiles, the cables report. Shucks! Fireproof coal has been on the market for a long time, &s many a cussing householder will testify. And down in the natural gas countgy, consumers who watch the burner with one eye and the meter with the other are willing to swear that frequently the stuff which comes out of the pipes is as fireproof as heltum. Furthermore, any novice roughing it in the wilder- ness for the first time can be relied upon to find, for the campfire, wood that is fully as incombustible as as- bestos, if not more so. So why the excitement about fireproof gasoline, when the real need of the hour is a gasoline whose vapors are neyer fireproof in the cylinders of an automobile? AN INJUSTICE TO FLYING (Duluth Herald) Sunday ten men were killed and others hurt, some of them dangerously, in flying accidents. ‘he Associated Press, in handling this news, does a wholesome thing when it points out that in nearly all cases these accidents were due to “stunt” flying or to the use of freak planes. It needs to be pointed out that where flying is done in proved airplanes with plenty of power and piloted by experienced men there are very few accidents; probably as few as there are on railroads and fewer, certainly, than those caused by automobiles. We hear of the crashes, but we seldom hear of the fact that where flying routes are definitely established, where flying is done in planes of approved types, an where the pilots are qualified and experienced, the per- centage of accidents is very small indeed. This all means, of course, that fliers who do needless stunts, who use planes not surely safe, and who fly alone before they are competent to fly, are doing the cause of aviation a very great injury by prejudicing the pop- re mind against it through an exaggerated idea of its anger. . SENATOR BORAH AND.THE PEACE TREATY (Minneapolis Tribune) 3 Senator Borah thinks well of Kellogg multilateral treaties renouncing war as a settler of controversies be- tween nations, Indeed, he thinks s0 well of this peace move that his comment in favor of it almost smacks of extravagance as a Borah utterance. After Senator Lodge passed on in 1924 Senator Borah became chairman of the senate committee on foreign relations. In the four that he has held the place he has not often been in agreement with the adminis- tration or state department on major matter: Democratic chairman scarcely could have been less 5; pathetic with state department policies. is t reason why Senator Borah’s cor indorsement of the Kellogg-Briand treaty, recently signed in Paris, is specially arresting. His comment lacks the Borahesque lavor to which the country has become accustomed.. Senator Borah is not necessarily open to a charge of change of heart because of his espousal of this anti-war He probably would be the first to deny that he undergone any mental or posal transformation if he thought denial were worth while. He may be the same Borah as to our relations and dealings with the Latin-American countries, and as to what he believes our relations with Soviet Russia should be. On these matters his views have not coincided with the views held in the state department under either Mr. Hughes or Mr. xeeior Boiah a fenator Borah doul detaches the peace treaty from all else in ratificatioi the Unit A te does not share the toliet States senate. of those who fear that ratification of the treaty would place the United States government under moral obli- sone of an entangling and possibl; sing iy Ly igi R their place of influence and authority by the overreach- ing of “experts” and “organizations” which let it be known that they, better than fathers, know the needs BY RODNEY DUTCHER (NEA Service Writer) Washington, Sept. 13.—Nearly everyone has a watch, wrist or pock- et, so the Smithsonian Institution has added an exhibit to its great museum which shows how that hap- ned. The collection was donated by a New Haven company and includes many old specimens of clocks and watches which show the development Archimedes constructed isn’t among it, but there are more than enough old time instruments to demonstrate the evolution. King Alfred of England is credited with inventing the time-kegping can- dle, as well as the first horn lamp shade, and the Smithsonian has such a candle—not King Alfred’s—which was marked off in numbered spaces and intended to burn equal lengths in a given time. jomewhat similar is an old oil lamp which has the hours marked off in similar spaces on the glass oil containér which rests above the wick.

One of these shows a hollow drum suspended between parailel shafts on which the hours are marked. The drum is divided into seven compart- ments by partitions which do not quite reach the center and each com- partment has a tiny hole through which the water dripped. As the wa- [ter dripped out, it appears, the drum rose or fell. Nearby is a funny Japanese clock by which the hours could be made shorter or longer as one desired. Next, some early English clocks and German tower clocks wit strange ropés and pulleys. And so on down to the modern watch and the modern alarm clock, including some of the choicést speci- mens of the art of making them. There's also a giant scale model of mechanism showing just what makes a watch tick, When your cor- respondent saw the exhibit the boy whose duty it was to wind this ma- chinery had gone off on vacation, taking the key with him, but the key as requested. IN NEW YORK | New York, Sept, 18—In this mo- torized era, it may seem a bit odd to mourn the passing of one horse, more or less. But “Uncle Tom” was more than horse—he was something of an in- stitution. He ranked second only to ° of Liberty or the Stock Exchange. The New York “natives” pointed him jout to visitors. Also they pointed out the weazened “Mississippi,” slouched in his hack seat, his vener- able top hat more wrinkled than his face. eos Every few months I have found occasion to tell some tale or other about ’Sippi. If there were more such characters as ’Sippi, the life of a columnist would be fairly simple. For ’Sippi has been Broadway’s fav- orite hack» driver for 20 years; *Sippi’s back has been Broadway's favorite hack and Uncle Tom has been Broadway’s Come storm or calm, wind, sleet or snow, ’Sippi could be seen at some hour of the day or night driving his picturesque lay-out through the con- gestion of the Gay White Way. The “passing show”—whatever ¢its in- gredients might be—has accepted the aged darkey and his horse as part of its big parade, favorite horse. * Just now you'll see ’Sippi sham- bling, dejected, forlorn and discon- solate, along the “main stem.” For “Uncle Tom” is dead. Perhaps ’Sippi will get another horse, for it’s im- possible to believe that Broadway will allow the veteran Jehu to disap- pear—even if the hat has to passed to procure a new nag. But it will not be the same, You all know how that is! " It’s rather difficult at this distance to convey a proper impression of the ith |niche held by Uncle Tom and ’Sippi in the kaleidoscopic ‘ panorama of Manhattan, Everyone been ’Sippi’s! another. Twenty years is quite a per- iod of time, insofar as change is con- cerned. ’Sippi has carried fallen stars and risen stars; he has hauled @ load of gin-filled freshies and of husband-seeking chorines; elderly ladies from Iowa, Kansas and New Mexico; young lovers seeking the quiet sympathy of Central Park’s overhanging branches; souses from bars and from speakeasies; actors who couldn’t always pay their fares; senators, governors, bankers, brok- ers, gangsters, gamblers and flap- pers. The whole world has gone by to the “Get up dar!” of the shriveled *Sippi. | aaa *Sippi came to the cab business out of the prize-ring.

An offensive breath indicates some diseased condi- tion, such as decayed teeth, catarrh of the nose, throat and bronchial tubes, or digestive disturbances. As has often been delicately hinted at in advertisements, a bad;breath is a social and business handicap. It stretches the ties of friendship to the breaking point. A man with halitosis who is courting a maid us- ually finds that with her, his first kiss is his last. It is impossible to be affectionate to the one who has a barrier of poison gas. The most unpleasant odors of the breath are caused by soma decompo- sition of organic particles, and are offensive for the same reason as is the flesh of a decaying animal. The breath of a really healthy person has a decidedly pleasant odor, faintly Suaestive of mellow apples. The wholesome breath of a baby is a de- light to its mother until the child has been given wrong foods to eat. When there are decaying eae in the intestinal tract, the blood is bound to absorb these products and carry some of them to be discharged through the lungs, bronchial and If yon discover that you are af- flicted in this. manner you sh make strenuous efforts to correct the conditio: 4 mn.
