Would the world be farther advanced today if our religious institutions had placed as much emphasis on the power of love to reforn. and regenerate as they have on the power of fear? Are we wholly cured of the strange idea that fear aids morality? Fear, in its heyday, used torture, imprisonment and murder to cure criminality. Fear beat children and burne. heretics. Like water thrown on burning gaso- line, fear spreads the evils it aims to suppress. Fear, as a deterrent is passing. But we are not yét out of the woods. War itself is essentially an instru- ment of fear. The old hoodoo persists that by greater and creater armies and navies and air forces, we shall keep the enemy at bay. Business was once based on fear, and still is so based to a certain extent. King Tut built an empire on slavery. It nover occurred to him that there was any other way to get men to work except to enslave them and hold them through fear. The folly of fear is apparent. Its cost in dollars and cents is appalling. Its continuance as a settled policy leads nowhere. Its crimes contribute to nine-tenths of the world’s history. Its cure was suggested of old: “Perfect love casteth out fear.” Member of The Associated Press Associated Press is exclusively entitied to the use publication of all news dispatches credited to It otherwise credited in this newspape: and @iso "al News Of spontaneous origin published herein hts of republication of all other matter herein Teserved.

DETROI1 Kresge Bidg gas cartad (Official City, State and County Newspaper) OLD SEA FIGHTER DIES A minor newspaper item, sometimes, gives one a real- Yzation of the changes brought by time more forcibly than anything else. : Here, for instance, is a paragraph from London, lipped from a New York paper: “Admiral of the Fleet Sir Edward Hobart Seymour @ied Monday at the age of 88. He was on the active Mavy list for well over half a century, his family having Supplied naval officers since the days of the Tudors.” Th: story briefly recounted some of Sir Edward's ex- periences. He served as a cadet in the Crimean war, fought in the war with China in the late ‘50s, was wounded in action off the coast of Africa in 1870, com- ™mand.d the “China station” at the close of the century ‘and commanded the naval forces that were landed to help put down the Boxer uprising. ‘There isn’t any particular reason why the little story abou’ thai man shouldn't bring such a clear realization jf changing times and customs. Yet it does. It brings ‘to mind an order of things that is passing; emphasizes the way in which old codes and standards are giving ‘way to new ones. Life was simpler when Sir Edward began his career. ‘A man’s duty was clearer. One did not question one's ,Country’s actions. It was taken for granted that the ‘whole earth belonged to = few rich white nations, and mo one doubted that it was quite fitting that these mations should seize as much of it as they needed and fight with each other over disputed portions of it. ‘The Crimean war—the ancient enemics England and Franc2 combining to check Russia.

Yet, in Sir ‘Edy rd’s day, there were no doubts about any of it. ‘The rule of might went unquestioned.

The rule of force stil! prevails, but it is not quite so strong. We have Teached the point where we can admit that our country— this applies to all nations—can actually engage, at times, in a war that is plainly and simply unrighteous. Sir Edward's life story, compressed into a few para- Sraphs, epitomizes an age that is passing. ONLY ONE KIND OF GENIUS ‘The masses have never been able to understand high @chicvement by their fellows. They have always recog- nized achievement but they have never believed that ' ‘mortals like themselves could achieve greatness. So far Sack as history records people have sought in the zealms of the’ supernatural for the cause of greatness in others, . In early times greatness was explained by attributing to heroes @ supernatural origin. Every man or woman SPRINGTIME Already there are many signs of approaching spring, although officially it is not due to arrive until March 21. Spring is the season of reincarnation, rejuvenation and radiant life. It is only to man that January 1 represents the birth of a new year and the calendar year is an artifical structure. With plant life and that of the animals the coming of spring is at once the birth of a new year and new life. Humanity recognizes and speaks of a new year as from January 1 but nevertheless observes it from the first breath of spring. After the departure of the dreary and stifling winter and with the coming of refreshing and magnetic spring there is new life and new hope created in the breasts of men and women. Spring brings great plans and high resolves which only winter can demolish or deter. It is not sufficient to say that the homing instinct is convenient in the spring. It is natural and not to be gainsaid by man or beast. Spring urges the bird to build its nest, the animal to burrow into its mother earth and man to plan his home, but neither bird, beas! nor man knows nor asks why. Spring is the one and only irresistible force. YOUR Olve Roberts Barton (©1928 by NBA Service,Ine. Do you interrupt your children and Prevent them from finishing some- thing they have begun?

If she does it in a spirit as sol- emn as her pronouncement to re- porters that “Augustus will speak for me,” we rather wonder if this on- coming marriage doesn’t need a little leave of humor. After all, with all his qualities, Lindy has never displayed the slight- est sense of humor, and even his sarcasm to reporters and photograph- ers is not at all subtly good. His young lady seems to be a chip from the same block. of ultra-seriousness. Oh well.

Shades of our grandmothers! What would those worthies, facing the task of spinning and knitting and bleach- ing and dyeing and making all the raw materials of field and orchard into food and raiment, have thought of the seriousness and time which their granddaughters give to bridge? Practically all our department stores have opened special bridge de- partments where the hostess may se- lect her tallies, favors, decorations, and obtain bridge lessons and bridge tea or luncheon menu advice. * * * WHO'S HAPPIER?

The knees of American millionaires may not be tanned as those of the highlanders but they are not necessarily fat. Take for example, Henry Ford's. A good many of our millionaires have had to hustle so hard for their wealth and have lived so temperately that they have not had cccasion to become corpulent. As for debauching the population with dollars, who ever heard of a Scot being debauched by money? That is one race that knows how to take care of its earnings. A highlander employed by an American millionaire might purchase a new caber and invest a little more frequently in a haggis, but it is not likely that he would sell him- self to the de'il. There are grounds for the suspicion that this cry of certain Scottish politicians against the fat white knees and the dollars of the American millionaire is actuated by unworthy motives.

A number of-tetters have come in asking for less expensive menus. Naturally, the menus given in my newspaper articles are chosen not by their cost but by their healthful qualities. If one desires to make more af an economy, some changes may be made to suit the pocketbook. Today, and also Wednesday and Thursday, I am outlining some menus especially for their inexpensiveness. At the same time, they contain all of the bestia required for maintaining Inexpensive Menu No. 1 Breakfast—Soft boiled wholewheat, condensed milk, stewed raisins. Lunch—Baked potatees, oleomar- garine, carrots, lettuce. . Dinner—Hamburger, beets and beet ol salad of shredded cabbage, baked apple. The wholewheat is ordinary cleaned wheat which may be purchased in any feed store for from 3c to 6c a pound. At the 6c price, if each person uses two ounces to a meal the cost would only be three-fourths of a cent a Person, or 2%c for a family of three. A_ small can of condensed milk costing 5c will also supply. three peo- ple. Stewed raisins in quantities can be purchased for from 8 to 10c a pound, about a half pound being re- quired for three people. The total cost of this breakfast for three people is only 12c or 4c for each person. Luncheon is slightly more expensive, but in quantities the price of potatoes is 2c to 3c a potind. - Vegetables are quite an item in this menu, especially during the winter months, but where the fresh vegetables are not obtain- able, or are too expensive, it is per- fectly all right to use canned varie- ties, however, using such raw vege- tables as carrots and lettuce, which are comparatively 23c for three people, or about 8 per person. Hamburger may be substituted for ground round-steak when one de- sires to make an economy. The price ranges from 15c to 20c per pound. Hamburger usually contains a little more fat than is desirable for -a sick Person’s menu, but there is no rea- son why a well person cannot use it, and it is the least expensive of all meats, since the butcher can use scraps for making hamburger which would otherwise be difficult to sell. As long as hamburger is fresh it is wholesome. Whenever possible one should pur- chase beets and turnips with the tops in good condition as these make ex- cellent greens and can be used in Place of spinach. Raw cabbage is quite wholesome and not as gasform- ing as the cooked cabbage. It is almost the least expensive of the green vegetables and has the added REGARD TO HEALTH & WHO CAN GE ADDRESSED advantage of keeping well and being ing to throttle all critics of the mod- ern bridge-playing woman.

A unique feature of the gift was the absence of any donor list. It merely went to her as a gift from “Washing- ton women.” So'Mrs. Coolidge, described as the most gracious First Lady this nation has ever known (though time, of course, may change that verdict) becomes again 2 plain Mrs. of Main street with a platinum and diamond brooch as souvenir of those days when sew the most noted woman th the land. Speaking of the gift, which cost many thousand dollars, have you ever noticed the difficulty of finding a really unusual gift, no matter how much money Is available? The almost inevitable answer is jewels which, after all, not all women care about any more than they all care for books or Persian rugs. Spaae teas obtainable where other vegetables are may be substituted — for cow's butter as a considerable saving. ‘ Apples, fortunately, are found at almost every season of the year and may be used to great_advantage in the winter and early spring menus. The dinner outlined in this menu would cost approximately 41%c for a family of three, or about 14c per per- son. The total cost of this menu per month for three people would be $23.40, or $7.80 per person. This about as cheap a menu as can devised which will at the same t! provide all of the essential elements Tequired by the body.

Should he have it between meals or with meals?” Answer: It is usually best to make an entire meal of one kind of fruit. If fruit is taken between meals it is better to use it at four or five o'clock in the afternoon before the evening meal which should not contain any highly starchy food. Mental Shock Question: Mrs. E. D.C. writes: “My daughter, aged 15, recently had & severe mental shock which has left her in an extremely nervous condi- tion. We have used every method we know of to help her back to normal health, but her progress is slow. Will you please suggest something?” Answer: The effects of a shock are sometimes difficult to overcome, but since your daughter is still young T feel sure that they will be overcome in the course of time. She should be especially encouraged to follow ath- letic sports, such as tennis and swim- ming. These will help to build up her health and influence the mental vitality favorably, although her at- tention should be balanced as much as possible between physical and mental activities. She should aiso be given a well balanced diet: such as outlined in my newspaper articles. Figs and Dates Question: N. J.C. asks: “With what combinations should one eat figs and dates?” Answer: Figs may be used as a degprt with any protein combination or with sweet milk. Dates combine best with buttermilk or any of the lactic acid or acidophilus milks.
