Foreign Representatives G. LOGAN PAYNE COMPANY NEW YORK --- Fifth Ave. Bldg. CHICAGO Berron Tower Bldg. Kresge Bidg. ——— (Official City, State and County Newspaper) TOWARD THE ETERNAL Arthur Schnitzler, famous Viennese dramatist, tells | Qn interviewer that he is very well satisfied with the existing universe except for the fact that man’s span of life is altogether too short. The interviewer, thereupon, asks him if he would be content with a life the length of Methuselah’s; and ! Schnitzler tells him that he would not. “What,” he asks, “are a thousand years compared with eternity?” Probably most of us have much the same notion as Schnitzler, and this can hardly be encouraging to the medical specialists who are using every resource of science to add a mere 10 years or so to our life expect- ancy. They can expect sc anks for that. Nothing less than an eternity of living will ever satisfy us. We call ourselves religious, and profess an abiding faith, but death remains a mystery which we are not willing to solve. This, of course, makes for unhappiness. If we could once become reconciled to the fact that life is short and its joys fleeting, we could get along with a great deal less misery. That would seem to be the reason. able thing to do. We cannot live forever; why not admit it, make the best of it, and look for peace and contentment in the days that remain to us, instead of bustling about making ourselves and our fellows miser- ble by trying to cram the earth and all the heavens into a few short decades? Unfortunately or otherwise, we are not reasonable Creatures, There is in us somewhere a wholly irra- tional spark of divinity that refuses to concede that ve are made of clay. Our imagination gives us a glimpse of things that might be possible for us if we were only given the time to accomplish them, and we never can be satisfied with anything less. Immortal life, uni- versal brotherhood, never-ending peace, happiness for every human being—these are some of the glittering dreams that we have built to plague ourselves, The quick years pass and generations of men vanish and are replaced by their children, but always these dreams remain. And from being creations of our own desire, these visions end by becoming our masters. They compel us up and on, plague us, make us unhappy, keep us from resting—and little by little we bring them toward realization, We lift ourselves by our own boot- | ¥ straps. Our discontent with life as it is leads us to! the cologsal task of remolding it into what it ought | to be. Nothing less than eternity and infinity will ever satisfy us; and that extremely unreasonable attitude is | Precisely the reason why we may look on the future of the race with hope. We are climbing because we are too fine to accept any other place than that of master of all creation. ————_- HEALING THE WOUNDS The human race can be counted on to make a rather impressive string of blunders every year of its exist- ence. But once in a while we get a glimpse of the things that will be possible to it, once it has reached the high level of intelligence and devotion already at- tained by a few of its members.

It may be well along toward inauguration day before the final decisions will be made. But it is just as certain as the Republican victory that Mr. and Mrs. Hoover will lend to the historic residence of the presidents a new atmosphere. With each new chief executive the White House takes on something like a new aspect. Its tangible architecture remains unaltered, but everything else is colored by the character and temperament of its distinguished tenant. One could go very far back if he wished, to Madison and Jackson, to make the point. But it is not neces- sary to delve into the history of more than the recent past for proof. The Coolidges have created the atmos- phere of way-down East, with its own tang and econo- mies. The easy-going, genial Harding placed the White House on Main street. President Wilson made his tem- Porary home into something like a college of political Philosophy. Then there was Taft, in a fashionable White House, and the Hoovers are coming to restore The White House never changes, but White House life undergoes radical change every four or eight years. HOUGHTON GOES BACK It is good to learn that Alanson B. Houghton is re- suming his post as American ambassador to Great Britain. Mr. Houghton eerly in the summer offered his resig- nation, effective at the president's pleasure, in order to run for U. S. Senator in New York. He was de- feated; now Mr. Coolidge has prevailed on him to re- consider, and he returns to London as our envoy. His service in that capacity has been distinguished. He sees international problems, particularly the prob- lems centering about disarmament and world peace, with unusual clarity and common sense, The country is the gainer by his decision to resume his post. A WORD FROM THE EARL The Earl of Birkenhead, until recently a member of England’s cabinet, is a bit nettled by President Cool- idge’s Armistice Day speech. “My answer to the president of the United States,” said the earl, in a speech at London, “is that we ask nothing from them except good will. When we discuss questions of naval construction, we do not specially THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE It’s Gonna Be Neck and Neck invite lectures as to whether we are pacific or not in our purposes,” J Spoken like an earl, to be sure. But someone should tell the gentleman that the surest way for England to lose this country’s good will is to indulge in militaristic gestures like the recent m ry-naval accord with France, which provoked President Coolidge’s speech. | No Englishman should be surprised that that has | evoked a storm of criticism in the United States. | Editorial Comment | ITALY'S INFLUENCE IN THE BALKANS (Christian Science Monitor) Italy is steadily and surely increasing her influence | ism tual: and in tl A scoring victories over her chief rival in that part of | The Tirana pact between Albania igned nearly two years ago, and later fol- | jpplementary agreement between the t! a decided gain for Rome. the The ratifi- | at Belgrade during the month of August this year was another step forward for Italy and consolidated her | pasition along the Dalmatian coast, which is part of Jugoslavia.

During recent weeks the Reserve banks have found it advisable to ease the money stringency so ag to facil- itate the autumn trade expansion and have resumed world’s memorial to William C. Gorgas; and it happens that Gorgas is one of those men who, by their lives and achievements, point out for the rest of us the race’s real possibilities for neighborliness and brotherhood. In 1898 the United States plunged into the war with Spain. It took away the last of Spain’s new world Possessions, set Cuba free, annexed the Philippines, A little later it began work on the Panama canal. A few years later it extended its economic and political influence more and more deeply into various Central American and West Indien countries, These things were spectacular. They aroused a good deal of suspicion in various quarters in Latin America; this country began to look, to some South Americans, like a colossus that would eventually swallow all of its neighbors. Naturally, this did not make for any in- creased friendliness, But during that same period William Gorgas was doing his work. First he rid Havana of yellow fever. Then he made the Panama Canal Zone, long one of the world’s deadliest spots, a region of health. He showed various South Americans how to do similar things in their own cities. He saved no one knows how many thousands of Latin-American lives. As a result, Gorgas became the idol of Latin Amer- ica. This year’s move to establish a memorial lgbor- atory to him instantly won the hearty cooperation of every ‘republic south of the Rio Grande. There is in al] of this a great deal of food for thought. One or two more Americans like Gorgas would make the people of Latin America our friends forever.

And so the merry dance in Wall Street goes on. Of course, the supply of credit for stock market operations is not inexhaustible.

We cannot provide a third rail under- ground, nor @ trolley wire overhead, for each furrow. Various schemes have been employed to meet the difficulty, such as cables dragged over the ground or hung from masts or paid out from movable rests or shifted from switches along the sides of the field, but all these devices are more or less troublesome and expensive. In Italy, where there is no coal and no oil but con- siderable water Power, a novel scheme is being tried out. The current is supplied through an Jasulated aluminum cable ausranaed over the field by a balloon. The balloon is seventeen feet in diameter and lifts 110 pounds. The tractor travels two and one-half miles an hour and plows a furrow from # foot to a foot and a half deep at a speed of two and one-half miles an hour, While the tractor is near the source of current, the balloon floats high. As the tractor goes farther afield it is drawn lower, but always keeps the cable clear of the ground. ‘ If this works it might be combined with the automatic plow invented in America that goes in a spiral all over the field without guidance.

But for the grace of Professor Heckler, the flea trainer, La Casti- lina might have perished on a la ay stocking from a single blow o: delicate palm. But for the patience of Professor Heckler, the flea train- er, La Castiling might now be a mere member of his flea ensemble, instead of the stel attraction she happens to be. It is just possible that La Castilina possesses that subtle something denied to most fleas.

SCORE, ~ I “Tao! “TH” BALL oN vTH' THE INFLUENCE OF HEREDITY Although doctors have claimed for some time that diseases are not hereditary, we must not assume that there is no influence from heredity. In Nature, like produces like. fig trees can not be propagated from grapevines. To hymans are born human offspring. General char- acteristics both physical and mental are transmitted to children, and there is no doubt that the latter may inherit special traits of strength and weakness that either or botn par- ents possess. thie, tendency to pass on char- acteristics sometimes undergoes pe- culiar forms and changes, It is just ay important for a per- son contemplating marriage to choose for a partner one who has a good sound mind and body and a history of qualified ancestors, as for a farmer to select good seed for his next year's planting. He would be foolish if he selected seeds haphaz- ardly from runt plants as weil as good, saying that it made no ditfer- ence. A good farmer always selects seeds from the strongest stuck, snow- ing that there is an inheritance of heredity throughout all living things. Only tne finest and strongest par- ents produce the best children. Tnere is an old saying that a great man must have had a great mother. It is interesting that most of those who achieve the greatest success in life come from the ranks of ordinary people who have lived for genera. tions on a simple diet and hard work. There is a natural tendency to trans- mit the best characteristics to the offspring so that the general ten- dency ot a race is toward a higher type. We sometimes notice the peculiar fact that a man who lives abstem- iously becomes old prematurely, and that a man who drinks and smokes heavily and uses little or no care in the selection of his food, lives to a ripe old age. Although this is the Peoaterd ee baal the rule, it is requgnt wrought up as an argu- met to "how that it makes ver; little difference how we live. It will be found, however, that heredity plays an important part in these cases, In every case where a man is careful with his diet and yet lives but a short time it will be found that his parents or grandparents extending back for several genera- tions were very shortlived and, in the case of a person who is careless with his living habits and yet lives for a long time, his parents or grandparents were remarkably long lived—probably longer lived than he will become. Parents owe it to themselves to} be as healthy as possible, but they have, perhaps, a greater debt to their children if they undertake the re- sponsibility of parenthood, Chil- dren brought into the world without their consent are entitled to the first ay from their parents of strong ies and minds, unhampered with the taint of dia jase or weakness. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Large Pores Question: W. S. asks: “What is the cause of large poros in the skin on the nose and cheeks? What ointment or lotion would you advise using or would you let Nature take its course and depend upon them dis- appearing in time?” Answer: The large pores in your skin can be partially closed if you will use an application of ice to your skin each day. Move the ice about k Flo Ziegfel nd _they’ll all admit, un- blushingly, that they have seen tal- ent where all others were blind. With Professor Heckler it was dif- ferent. This was, so far as he was concerned, just another flea. But another flea to flea trainer is always a potentiality. And he had still to learn what latent talents may be found in a Spanish flea. So La Castilina came, to, Broadway! There she found, already incased in their glass arena, such products of the San Francisco dunes as Red Grange, who kicksa microscopic foot- ball; Henry, who juggles something that might be dust grains; Marcus, the charioteer, and Waterloo, who shoats a Tide cannon, The Ahoy ad long ne sex appeal, And this, if you believe the professor, she Provides. It’ was not long before La Castilina was queen of her own particular cir- cus; the ballerina of fleadom; the box office attraction of Hubért’s museum.

J. asks: “Is there anything a young person can do to grow taller?” Answer: Anyone under the age of thirty can increase his height to some extent through a combination of dieting, exercising and taking certain treatments. The diet must contain plenty of bone-building ma- terial, which is found in the leafy n vegetables and in whole grains. Exercives should be designed to twist and stretch the spine. The treat- ment should be with manipulative therapeutics, such as given by the osteopath, naturopath or chiroprac- tor. You are about a half inch tall- er in the morning than in the eve- » This is due to the settling of the bones of the body, principally in the spine, Treatments given the spine to loosen up and separate the spinal segments will help the cir- culation of blood to these parts, and tends tq stimulate the growth of bones.
