(Official City, State and County Newspaper) 1S HAPPINESS A BYPATH? If you want to be happy, you must learn how to busy yourself with unimportant things. This bit of advice comes from A, Edward Newton in a recent book, his Book Collecting Game.” Mr. Newton explains that by following it himself he has found happiness, and he cites instances of others who have done likewise. There was, for instance, a clergyman who got inter- ested in studying the natural history of his parish. He spent hours daily watching the birds, bats, frogs, squirrels, fishes and insects of the nearby countryside, and lived an exceedingly happy life. To be sure, he neglected his pastoral duties very badly, forgot to get married and took no interest in the things that were going on in the world—but, after all, he was happy. A philosophy like that hardly fits our American temper. From the day the first Pilgrim father stepped ashore on slippery, surf-splashed Plymouth Rock we have had scant use for anything but hard work, and plenty of it. Whether our own ancestors came from England or from Lithuania, we have all been imbued with the American idea of “service”—an idea prevalent years before the luncheon clubs took it up. Probably that is one reason why so many foreign visitors have gone home to report that “Americans do not seem happy—they are too restless.” It is large- ly true. We are born and bred to a tradition thet says that an American’s first duty is to find a job that will take every ounce of his energy and ability. In the old days this was necessary. A pioneer in a wilderness cabin who tried to interest himself in the unimportant would presently have provided the Indians with a new scalp. The early settlers had to conquer a continent, and it was a tremendous job. They did it —and most of them never even had time to wonder whether they were as happy as they might have been. The pioneer days are over now, and we have more leisure. We can devote ourselves to unimportant things if we want to and nobody will be harmed. Yet there is small chance that any very great number of us will do it. For the old tradition still is atrong—and rightly so. We have left the old, physical frontier behind us only to reach a new one. We have taken the puzzling, in- comprehensible industrial age, which burst upon ‘the world with the invention of the steam engine, and have undertaken to develop it to its logical conclusion. We are still pioneering. So, probably, most of us will have to defer the busi- ness of devoting a lifetime to the search for happi- only be accomplished by extensive advertising.” This explains why advertising has been one of the greatest | constructive forces for prosperity and a higher standard of living. The old hit-or-miss methods of advertising have given way to campaigns based on careful scientific research and conducted by experts. The business man who com- plains that advertising is not pulling as it once did is confessing that he has been bested in the competition of advertising. His method of advertising, not the institution of advertising, is to blame. lewspaper advertising is an integral part cf Amer- ican business and is keeping one jump alicad of the rest of this stupendous structure. To business it is the light that leads and the staff that supports. WHOSE THE BLAME? Disasters like that which overtook the Vestris appall the public, for it is human nature to think they can be prevented and that lives have been lost through negligence or carelessness. Every sea tragedy inspires countless accusations and condemnations, most of which are without foundation. The charges growing out of the wreck of the Vestris ness. It would be a fine thing to do—but it just isn’t in us. We are fated to be hard workers. And it is our hope that out of this endless struggle and devotion to duty will flower, some day, a new era in which the chil- dren of our children can hold fast to the happiness which we have not time to seek. A DOLLAR COURT The great increase in small claims, noticeable for several years, has led to the creation in Des Moines, Towa, of a conciliation court for small claims. Before this court the litigants plead their own case without benefit of jury or lawyer. The only court record is the settlement agreement and the only court cost is a fee of $1. During the court’s first year it heard 2,800 claims, and it is now hearing more than half of the cases form- erly tried in the municipal and county courts, with their cumbersome procedure of juries and lawyers. This, perhaps, is a start toward simplification of legal proceedings, which have now become so involved and hampered by conflicting statutes that when one plunges into lawsuits he has commenced a journey most tor- tuous in its course and with an end far, far into the future, It is doubtful, however, if the Des Moines experiment is the remedy for court congestion. Since it makes going to court easier and cheaper, it will encourage litigation, which is the very thing the nation desires least of all. If the figures were ascertainable, it prob- ably would be found that fewer small claims are being settled out of court in Iowa. An ideal justice is one granting a full and fair hear- ing to every claim no matter how trivial. Modern justice, obviously, must fall short of that ideal, al- though with the dollar court it approaches it. A MOTHER SENDS HER BOY TO JAIL If an 18-year-old boy, arrested for robbery, should escape from jail and run home to his mother, you would hardly blame the mother if she should help him make his escape good. It would be easy to understand how her love could overbalance her knowledge that he really ought to pay for his crime. But an Illinois youth of that age, jailed in’ Kentucky | f for robbery, escaped and went home—and his mother sent him back to jail. He reappeared at the jail a day or so later, saying his mother had told him to return and “take his medicine” and lead a better life there- after. ‘That young man’s mother evidently was a lady of considerable strength of character. She refused to give. way to unwise emotionalism when she could have been easily excused for doing so. . INDISPENSABLE Newspaper advertising, its past, present and future, sently attracted the attention of the statistical mind ! the statistician. Having watched it “grow che spoke with authority on this wonder of modern have been heard before. Ship captains are usually blamed for some error of commission or omission. Methods of ship inspection come in for their share of blame and the owners of the ill-fated craft are accused of everything from negligence to-murder. There are all the elements of criminal negligence in the present case but nothing is to be gained by pre- judgment. Especially should there be compassion for the captain and those of his crew who went to their death with their chief. The least that can be done for them is to grant them a fair trial before judging them guilty. The Vestris cannot be raised from the sca bottom and those hundred odd lives cannot be recalled from eternity, but a thorough probe, intelligently conducted, may serve to save some other ship and its passengers from the same terrible fate. There is to be learned from this disaster a lesson in safe seamanship. It should be learned. | Editorial Comment | TRAFFIC WASTE (U. S. Chamber of Commerce Bulletin) As a measure of the possibilities of saving money through modern traffic regulation and control, A. B. Barber, director of the National Conference on Street and Highway Safety and manager of the transporta- tion department of the Chamber of the United States, points to the enormous losses due to traffic congestion. “Aside from the human factor,” he says, “cities using modern traffic methods are receiving a direct dollars and cents return. i i “A survey of traffic delays in downtown Boston showed that they cost the community $24,500,000 a year, in addition to losses from accidents amounting to more than $2,000,000 a year. Chicago’s cost of traffic con- gestion has been estimated to be in excess of $600,000 a day and New York’s more than $1,000,000 a day. The nation’s bill for traffic delays is conservatively placed at $2,000,000,000 a year. : “There is another side to the picture. San Francisco found that its new traffic code resulted in reductions of accidents ranging from 30 to 40 per cent in the rec- ords of companies operating 50, 100 and 400 motor vehicles. One street railway company reported a re- duction of: 24.7 per cent in pedestrian accidents. A saving of $2,000,000 a year in the cost of automobile accidents is being made for San Francisco motorists. Los Angeles reports an increase of 30 per cent in the movement of street traffic after revising its regu- lations.” IN THE NICK OF TIME (Omaha World-Herald) _ ; A University of Chicago paleontologist has discov- ered some ay tracks made 200,000,000 years ago in a piece of Pennsylvania sandstone. This fact in itself may not be so remarkable, but it does emphasize with an awful poignancy a glaring defect in our whole pale- ontological structure. Think of letting those snake tracks lie out there on that piece of ‘sandstone for 200,- 000,000 years! Is it possible that modern paleontology is so indifferent to snake tracks as to leave a whole bunch of them lie neglected in the weather for nearly a quarter of a billion years? A snake may be a humble animal. It may even be an unpopular animal, but who shall say that its foot- prints are not as worthy of paleontological consider- ation as the footprints of any other fowl? Suppose this particular paleontologist had not found ¢hem when he did? A rain might have come up over the week-end and washed them awav and then where would we be? Not only would we never have known that a snake once walked across that stone, but would have remained eternally ignorant of the highly significant fact that having walked, 'it left its footprints on the sandstone of time, as Longfellow once said in a poem about snake tracks, We urge our paleontological friends to be more care- ful. After all, the country is depending upon them for its snakeology. If they won’t take any interest in our snake tracks, who is going to take an interest in them? Snake tracks are not nearly so numerous as they once were. That may be because of prohibition or it may not be because of prohibition. At any rate, we haven’t such a supply of them to excuse an indifference that will permit a flock of them to lie on a piece of sand- stone for 200,000,000 ‘years and then dash out and bring them in just before the first fall freeze. MR. COOLIDGE TAKES OFF THE MUFFLER (Minneapolis Tribune) President Coolidge has been called “Silent Cal” by flippant critics, The epithet is undignified, but it rests on a basis of truth or fact. On the whole it is one of the virtues of Mr. Coolidfe that he is frugal in the use of words, The country doubtless has gained more than it has lost because be does not have the garrulous it. If many others of our public men were as much given to reticence as he, it would be to our advantage. The President can be freely articulate when he wishes to be and believes he should be. He was so in his Armistice day address Sunday evening in Washington. Can He Start Another Landslide? NEY DUTCHER (NEA Service Writer) Washington, Nov. 22.—Perhaps we are traveling back toward the good old days when election results were sure to be close in a large number of important states. College professors and newspaper- men with mathematical minds have discovered that if Smith could have switched 500,000 additional votes in the right places he would have been elected, thanks to the electoral col- lege system, and that 150,000 more properly switched votes for Hoover would have given him every single electoral vote. Yet, in the first in- stance, Hoover could still have had a popular majority of more than 5,000,000 and lost and, in the second case, Smith would still have had 15,000,000 popular votes without a single electoral vote. All sorts of funny and seemingly unfair things can happen under the electoral college system. Fortun- ately for the system, they seldom do. “6 * Until the Harding and Coolidge landslides, however, one election after another showed that a switch of a few thousand votes—sometimes even a few hundred—here and there would have changed the election re- sult. But in 1920 and 1924 Repub- lican pluralities were so huge in so many of the most. important states that there was little nourishment in such figuring. This year the result was so rela- tively close in so many states that the boys once more got out pencil and paper. Well, Smith’s present yearning for that switch of a half million votes is probably nowhere near as poig- nant as that of James G, Blaine, who with a change of 600 votes in New York in 1884, would have been elect- ed over Cleveland. Those were the days when the Solid South was good and solid and most of the northern and western states were invariably doubtful. In that year Cleveland carried Connecticut 67,000 to 65,000, Dela- ware 16,000 to 12,000, Indiana 244,- 000 to 238,000, Maryland 96,000 to What he said was of as much interest abroad as to our own people, and he obviously intended it should be. Whether he felt freer to talk because he is soon to re- tire from the presidency, or merely took off the muffler because he thought the time had arrived for plain speaking, only he can say. Anyhow, he was specific and blunt to a degree not usual to Ho. He gave representatives of the British and French governments in particular something to think and talk about, and he did not exclude the rest of Europe from the audience he was bent on reaching. i No doubt should be left in anybody’s mind that Pres- ident Coolidge is for a sufficient and efficient defense structure on the high seas, and that no one is more desirous than he that war shall cease as a means of settling differences between nations. He is for making every honorable sacrifice to prevent war, but he counsels that “the first law of progress requires the world to ” and he ventures to say that one of these ‘that reason and conscience are as yet by no means supreme in human affairs.” He puts it up bluntly to the French and British gov- ernments that their attitude toward the matter of naval armament’ makes it indispensable to this country to have a greater cruiser tonnage as a measure of our national security. i “It no doubt has some significance,” he said, “that foreign governments m: agreements (in the Wash- ington conference) limiting that class of combat vessels in which we were superior, but refused limitation in the class in which they were superior.” ; He submits that this was the situation as to france and England as late as last summer when they made tentative offers of ostensible armament limitation which the United States refused to accept because they would not have been limitations at all as to those countries. armaments Mr. Coolidge passes to financial credits with the suggestion that the time has come further advances of capital abroad should be ost careful consideration, our home needs.

A demonstration of “Young Na- tionalists,” parading pennants that express thein opinions of political events in the homeland, is the most exciting thing to happen in many a month. The color, spice and tra- dition of the district is best revealed on certain holidays when the old- world customs are dragged from their hiding places and staged in an incongruous background of Ori- entals wearing knickers and pana- mas. Tong guns gather rust. in back rooms and “killers” have had to go to work. Chinatown learned that tong wars are not good for business. Such sporadic outbursts as may have threatened were soon stilled jas the merchants’ organizations in- sisted upon peace. Threats of boy- cott against potential warriors have had ‘their effect. Also peace par- leys have been introduced. The plain {clothes detectives who once went }about spotting trouble, now spend most of their time scrutinizing the faces of suspicious characters’ as they drift into the Bowery. The hatchet man of old is a curiosity and his hatchets have been peddled to curio seekers. The Americanization of the sinis- ter scenes progresses yearly. The chop suey restaurants cater to the trade of the tourist and jazz tunes tinkle in their phonographs and auto- matic pianos. | ‘ Around the corner from China- town, the peddlers’ markets flourish. Up and down the blowsy side-streets are rows of cellars lined with stalls displaying slightly patched shoes. On the ground floor are the cast- off clothing shape: Here the per- sistent barkers literally grab their customers from the streets. The wandering sailor has small chance to escape. The bargains are driven hard and fast. For a few dollars it is possible to take home a suit of clothes, which may have sed through half a dozen hands before reaching this, final junk-heap of ap- parel.

Jimm Walker, himself, walking past in ail his sartorial splendor, be it S S it GITS So LONESOME HEALTH i Dr CATARRHAL DEAFNESS Practically every case of deafness not resulting from accident can at least be partially cured by dietary measures. Complete deafness does not come on suddenly without warn- ing, as there is usually a gradual loss of the sense of hearing covering a period of several years before one becomes conscious that he cannot hear as well asthis friends: There are a few cases where the eardrum has been ruptured or some other portion of the hearing appar- atus destroyed by accident; there are also a few cases where the sense of hearing is interferred with by a re- tention of wax in the external ear passage; some are caused by a chronic state of engorgement of the tonsils, which may produce deaf- ness, and the inflammation may spread to include the eustachian tubes leading from the nose to the middle ear; but by far the greatest number of all cases of deafness are the result of chronic catarrh, I be- lieve that over 90 per cent of all cases are caused by chronic catarrh. An unusually severe cold in the nose and throat may cause such a change that it seems as if the deaf- ness comes on quite abruptly, which is seldom true, as the chronic state of catarrh preceding the cold had been developing for a long time. The eustachian tabes leading into the ears have been slowly becoming more and more filled with mucus un- til finally only the cold was needed to cause the passage to stop en- tirely. Local treatment from your physician, in removing the wax from the external.ear and opening the eustachian tube, will prove helpful in many cases, but you must remem- ber the constitutional cause of your trouble and endeavor to remove this by the proper dietetic and fasting measures. In most cases the orange juice fast will bring a quick relief from the annoying throbbing and in some cases hearing is restored in a re- markably short time. Of course this cannot expected in those cases which have existed over a period of years since the delicate tissues of the inner ear have undoubtedly be- come thickened by the chronic in- flammation. If the trouble is purely catarrhal, one must not only avoid the starches but should leave out the oils and fats for a considerable period of time. Even the use of milk may retard a recovery. Remember that the blood stream must be cleared of its ac- cumulated toxins of years. It must be literally starved of the mucus or acid-forming foods for about a year before the catarrhal inclina- tion will disappear altogether. In many cases osteopathic or other manipulations of the neck are help- ful in addition to the fasting re- gime. It is a. striking fact that while those with catarrhal deafness al- wo McCoy | ways improve on a fasting and die regime, they often do not realize the change which is taking place. They are so used to not hearing well, and are often discouraged when they are Pinal uerious. 0 Beate, rsonal questions on aid diet, addressed to him, care of the Tribune.

During the last few years some fine testing instruments have beer devised and cures are more numerous because a patient seeing a report of these tests is willing to remain on a careful diet over the long time necessary to ef- fect a cure. One who is deaf should not give up hopes of having his hearing re- stored until he has tried this method persistently. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Correct Blood Pressure Question: Ralph J. Asks: “What, as a rule, is the correct blood pres- sure of a man 68 years old in good” health and spirits? Mine is 160 systolic and 100 diastolic. Many thanks for your information and ad- vice.” Answer: The systolic blood pres- sure should range between 118 and 132 millimeters at any adult age, but perhaps 145 millimeters would not be too high if you have a tend- ency to high blood pressure. Your present blood pressure is certainly too high but can be easily reduced through living on a careful diet. Gaining Weight Question: E. J. writes: “I would like to know the casiest way to gain weight.” Answer: Gaining weight is not an easy matter. It is first neces- sary for you to discover the func- tional cause of your thinness. One thing certain, you cannot gaiz weight and be healthy by using any’ stuffing process. You must first of all get well and your weight will then gradually come to its normal. Pyorrhea ah Question: A. J. asks: “What causes pyorrhea, and what is the cure?” Pyorrhea is caused by Answer: an infection of the gums which have been irritated from hyper-acidity of the stomach. In addition to follow- ing a correct fasting and dieting regime (instructions for which I will send you upon receipt of a large self addressed stamped envelope) you should brush your teeth night and morning with lemon juice di- luted with water, rinsing your mouth afterward with water in which a small amount of bicarbon- ate of soda has been dissolved. hailed and urged to buy a_ suit! cast off, mayhap, by a member of his street-cleaning department.
