(Official City, State and County Newspaper) SCIENCE AND THE LAW Every year sees the gap widening between the an- | cient concept of justice, as embodied in our system of Jaw, and the new idea of conduct as it is being evolved by science, ticularly medical science. The old idea was that are certain acts which are criminal; that the person who committed such an act should be pun- ished for it, unless he were insane or otherwise men- tally incapable, and in the latter case he should be segregated from the community until such time as he became like other people. . But science n laims that a good many, if not all, crimes are ed by circumstances over which the doer has no control. The “brain-storm” is now an old theo! d there are plenty of other explanations known to ph ns and psychiatrists. Meanwhile the courts, on the ide, have been striving to make more elastic the old definitions of responsibility for crime. They are getting away from the ancient idea that the person who commits an act defined as criminal is nec- essarily “bad” and needs to be whipped into a better frame of mind by a system of punishment. Thus we have long had asylums for the “criminal insane,” and reformatories ‘for those who seem to have been driven to crime by external conditions; and even prisons de- signed for old-fashioned punishment are trying to teach their inmates useful trades, and to some extent create in them that attitude of mind which the majority of people recognize as normal. The fact remains, however, that notwithstanding the changed and still changing attitude of the law and its administrators toward crime and criminals, it is still far behind science. The encouraging feature is that old, bitter laws, based on the desire of the majority to protect f against an apparently vicious minority, and framed in ignorance of the causes of this so-called viciousness, have been found to be elastic enough to cover the new conceptions evolved by science, in the hands of lawyers trained in the new discoveries of selonee, and enlightened judges. The greatest defect » our system of justic remains the herd-treatment of ons in jails and prisons, in violation of the scientific le, which holds that each person is a distinct al, with problems peculiar to himself, and be so treated. BEAUTY CONTES?PS This has proved a great season for beauty contests, and the end is not yet. The picture section of almost every Sunday paper is decorated with pictures of prize- winning beauties. And few are the week-day issues that are not generously sprinkled with cuts of aspir- ants to c ed first-place distinction. While average male readers will be disposed to con- cede that all such fair claimants to exceptional pul- chritude are restful to the eye and worth a lingering look, few of them will be inclined to admit that the lovely faces at which they look are near as lovely as certain faces that they carry photographed in their hearts. To almost every man one woman is more beautiful than all others. She may not have perfect features. Her coloring may be far from exquisite. Her hair may not be up to date. But, to him, she is beyond compare. Therefore average men are unwill- ing to take the opinion of mere judges as to relative merit of the claims of beauty contestants to superiority. They are pretty enough, but as for being the most beautiful—well, the average man, being gallant by nature, would prefer not to say. And there is the average woman. Can the aspirants to beauty honors, or the winners of them, for that: matter, expect to get by that critic? Not much. What average woman would grant that the gleaming beauties who smile at them from pictured pages are unsurpass- able? Not one. This critic might coneede that the prize winners are fair—except for blemishes from which the average woman who is doing the talking thinks she is free. Pride of locality also confuses judgment on this matter. Would any dweller on the Atlantic seaboard concede that the prize-winning beauties of the Pacifi slope surpass those of the east? Of course not. Would inhabitants of Podunk grant that the blue-ribbon beauty of Washington outshines any one of a dozen maidens in their home-town? And, again, of course not. Beauty contests may be counted on to bring out an array of beautiful maids that would gladden the heart of any average man and fill that of the average woman with something approaching envy. But as for deciding anything—well, hardly. ——_—______ GOOD FORTUNE The quality and fiber of a man are tested both by |e bed fort dive ¢ and good. Under the stresses of mishap, intment and privation, his courage is sounded, ration is sharpened and he may learn the | end the measure of his own powers.

Good foriune illusion that we are necessarily right be- = cause we are successful, which false assurance may blind us to many hazards that may shipwreck our too confident course. Good fortune may steal from us the | things we love and send us secking after the things we desire, which may prove dead-sea fruit and void ot | happiness. Good fortune may draw us away from friends who ask no favors and give us only the com- Pany of those-whose favors bring no friendship.

A ONE-CLUB LEAGUE Many doleful predictions are being made as to the future of the American Baseball League. Some pes- simists say that unless the domination of the New York Yankees is ended every other team in the leggu> will show an annual treasury deficit. It is argued that the New York club has been winning too consistently during the last eight seasons for the good of the league. Following out this line of reasoning, it has been sug- gested that Col. Jacob Ruppert, owner of the Yankees, should scatter his stars among the other teams in order to restore the proper balance. Colonel Ruppert, who sion team and who by the expenditure of much time and money made it virtually invincible, has given no indi- cation of taking any such advice. At mid-season fan interest in the league dropped dis- turbingly because the Yankees seemed to have clinched the league pennant. The subsequent Yankee slump and winning streak of the Philadelphia Athletics was the second best thing that could have happened to the league. The only thing the league needed more was first place occupied at the end of the season by a club other than Colonel Ruppert’s. Next year the fans hope the other seven American league teams will produce teams that will put up a good fight against the New York club, so the cham- pionship will be in doubt until the season’s end. If they fail again, the league will lose more fans to the National League which this year staged a good fight to the last ditch. THE LAW’S QUEER QUIRKS The ways of the law are perplexing and strange. In Vancouver, B. C., Gordon Northcott was held on ® murder charge brought by California authorities. He was first taken into custody on a mere notification that he was wanted; but to held him Zor extradition it was necessary that he be arrested on a definite warrant for murder, This warrant arrived and was served. But Censdian laws forbid the serving of a warrant on a man in jail. So Northcott was formally released; then, as he stepped out of the jail, he was re-arrested, served with the warrant and led back to his cell. id All of this hocus-pocus was undoubtedly necessary, But, as we say, it makes the devious ways of the law seem a bit involved and confusing. | Editorial Comment THE DOCTOR AND OLD AGE (New York Times) While old age is not preventable, its years are as inevitable as the “inevitable hour” which all alike it. But a significant symposium at the Academy of Medicine is considering the question—one which has probably never had such emphasis before by the pro- fession—how the pathology of those who are old in years may be postponed or altogether avoided, Despite sanitary and medical science, it appears that the maxi- mum span of life has not been lengthened much if at all. And perhaps with all that man can do he may not live beyond the limit fixed by the “predestination of heredity.” What he can do is to lengthen some- what the life of more individuals within that limit, and assure a more comfortable and efficient mental, moral and physical existence. What the layman wishes to know, as Dr. George E. Vincent said in his brilliant address at the opening of the symposium, is “can an average man or woman of sixty-five or eighty hope to be fairly fit, reasonably alert and of some use to the community, or is it only the exceptional person who may entertain that hope and reach that standard?” What has been accom- plished so far has been in the groups under forty and especially under fifty. That has been a remarkable achievement, but a pretty large minority of the race is now much concerned about the years that lie beyond. A change is needful in the attitude of doctors toward the old people with whom they have to do and in that of the old people toward themselves. They are not to be thought of simply as bodics that have to be patched up by the doctors when there is a disorder or distemper here or there, but as persons with the characteristic powers of old people who have “a significant contribu- tion to make to the common welfare.” The doctors must of course give attention to the healing of ills, but they should have the more positive function of trainers to keep even the old fit. To use Dr. Vincent’s simjle: Doctors ought to be like the mechanicians who take contracts to keep clocks going and on time, rather than emergency men to be summoned when timepieces stop | or are too fast or too slow. Men have written and talked about old age from Cicero to Osler, but “gerontology” is now coming for the first time to make a place for itself ‘in the science of human health. This symposium is a significant sign of the concern that is taken not in finding springs of youth but in helping those who “would be well old to be old betimes” in the thought that they take of keop- ing themselves fit.

Smith ought to be-one of the world’s most important authorities on the feminine sex. Herbert Hoover, too, is learning about women from politics. But Smith, who, incidentally, has a wife and daughters, has been recei the more intensive education. Two women especially have been taking an important part in his political life. One has devoted years to build- ing him up; the other has recently undertaken to tear him down. One is Mrs. Henry Moskowitz, the New York social worker, whose life’s ambition is to make Smith president. The other is Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, who for eight years has been an assistant attorney neral and whose chief interest lately has been to destroy Smith politically. se * Mrs. Moskowitz is older. She has had more, perhaps, than anyone else to do with the remaking of Al Smith. The two first met when Smith was vice chairman of a legis- lative committee investigating swe: shop conditions such as existed be- fore the horrible Triangle fire in New York. Up to that time Smith had been little more than a capable Tammany politician. With the aid of Mrs. Moskowitz his eyes were opened to a host of social injustices, This Jewish woman became in time his most trusted adviser con- cerning affairs of New York state. Under her inspiration, Smith be- came the champion of humanitarian legislation. Meanwhile, she devel- oped an immense admiration for the character and ability of Al Smith. When Smith developed presidential aspirations she fostered and guided them. eee One of Smith’s biographers, Hen F. Pringle, has suggested that Smith were elected Mrs. Moskowitz might become the first woman cab- inet member. But Mrs. Moskowitz, obviously by her own wish, holds no Public office.

One seldom finds her name in the newspapers. Mrs. Willebrandt has had more ity in the last few weeks than Irs. Moskowitz has had in her whole life. She is not regarded as\one of Hoover's closest advisers, and hence does not figure as a strategist like But she has set out to defeat Smith with all the courage and burning zeal with which the other woman has applied herself to the task of getting him elected, And both are able women. There is no reason to suppose Mrs, Willebrandt is any great ‘worry to Hoover. While some of his prom- inent supporters among _politicans and newspapers were demanding that.she be muzzled, Hoover kept hands off, ge Mrs. Willebrandt isn’t the only woman who has kicked up a stir in both the Smith and Hoover. camps. There was Mrs. Willie Caldwell, Re- publican naticnal committeewoman, over whose name went out’the now notorious appeal to women to save the country from being “Romanized and rum-ridden.” She was Hoover's | § worry, and Hoover went up in the air when her letter was published, completely repudiating all such sen- timents.

Then there was the New York lady who spread the untruthful yarn about Smith being drank at a Boy Scout camp. When that one was publicly spiked, she said it didn’t make any difference because “every- body knows he drinks-and men who drink get drunk.” omen certainly are taking an active part in the campaign. In fact, they are producing most of the sen- sations.

The life of any dog’ able to sport something better than a mongrel’s background is likely to be an infin- itely better one than, mayhap, that of the master who owns him. There are, on the uptown side streets, beauty parlors for purps, haircutting establishments, haber- dasheries, biscuit emporiums and hospitals. The ritzy hotels, know- ing well that most of their guests will insist on at least one schnauzer, have snappy kennels in the basement and, long since, have served special dog meals at 50 cents per each. The service is personal and Fido eats out of no tin receptacles. eee But the last word, to date, has been spoken.

This plant was first cultivated by the ancient Egyptians, but it is very opular in Europe around the Med- Rerranean and in the Southern states. Fresh, canned or dried, it is a wholesome vegetable. ean Okra pods contain a mucilaginous substance which forms a jelly in water. The pods he length from four to six inches, but some are even longer. They become tough as the pod enlarges in size. As the pods are usually cut into slices for cook- ing purposes, one can easily test their value, because when they are too old they are hard to cut, Okra should only be cooked in enameled pots, since metallic vessels are apt to cause it to discolor. An analysis of the okra pod shows that it is alkaline forming, containing fair amounts of sodium and calcium. Many correspondents have written me asking how to prepare okra. Here are some recipes: Stewed Okra Cut off the stems of the okra pods, boil in salt water until soft, then allow the water to evaporate and stir in a lump of butter. In this way okra may be used either as a vegetable or as a garnish for rice or fish. Tomatoes and Okra Cut the re ae eal May) Boil one part of okra wi wo pal of bere Add --'t and butter when cooked. ikra Escallop Arrange a layer of Melba toast in the bottom of a baking dish, then place a layer of cooked okra, then another layer of Melba toast and last of all® layer of raw sliced to- matoes.

Add to one half eupful of diced carrots, one turnip diced, one half cup of chopped celery, and @ tablespoon of choppel parsley. Cook for thirty minutes in enough water to cover, then add a cupful of mashed, cookéd lima beans and cook over a slow fire for one hour. |. When ready to serve add one fourth of a.cupful of cream and salt to taste. Corn and Okra Slice and steam the okra until it does not offer resistance to a fork. Add the okra to equal parts of canned corn, add crushed Melba toast to take up the moisture, and sprinkle with parsley. Place in a baking pan in a hot oven for about their lives to taking pedigreed hounds out for, the evening air. In a sense, there is a tragic note in such attention to animals in a city where thousands feel the pangs of hunger. Let me, if you are patient, quote from a letter that lies on my table, concerning the dog quarters on the 81st floor: “The diet kitchen will be under the supervision of a trained nurse. Weight charts will be kept of each dog. Each kennel will be sound- proof and ro visitors will be allowed. The keeper exercises the dogs at different times. Owners will not be allowed to visit the kennels, but will be able to make appointments with the keeper.” Fancy that, Algernon—“I have an appointment at four with, little Fluffy. And I couldn't keep her waiting—not: forthe world!” But to go on: “Soft. cushions will be supplied.” T guess I like dogs as well as the next fellow. But, after all, fun is fun, ... GILBERT SWAN.

H. asks: “Coulu you advise me what to take when there are phosphates in the urine?” Answer: The important thing to do is to stop the mental overwork or any other nervous strain which is the cause of the excess of phos- phates in the blood or urine. You can probably get rid of the excess by drinking large quantities of water Meade but the nat is a waste of nervous energy, and this cause must be consi in a real cure. Question: K.L. asks: “Is water & food?” Answer: Water must be con- sidered as a food, as three-fourths of the bodily weight is made up of this indispensable element. There would be no form of organic life without water, and although a man can live for many weeks without other foods, he cannot live more than a few days without water. Water is composed of oxygen and hydrogen gases, and when these gaseous ele- ments are so combined as to form water they are able to have a more important ‘effect upon metabolism than when they are extracted from any other kind of food material. estion: K. H. writes: “I have a mouthful of perfect teeth that are all loose. I can brush them hard three times a day, still they do not bleed or hurt me in any way. Do you know of any way I can tighten them up again?” Answer: Go to a good dentist and get his opinion about your teeth. You are doubt having some ab- sorption of the alveolar processes which ‘are the bony structures hold- ing the teeth in place. Proper treatment will sometimes stop such necrosis, or degeneration of bone. but it is best to rely on your den- tist’s judgment as to whether your condition can be cured, or whether your teeth must be extracted. the Deacon Snodgrass of Dickens’ fame. ——— —_____—____» BARBS | —_—_— ?
