It puts thoughts of adventure and wandering into men's minds, and makes distant trails and far-away frontiers look glamorous and inviting. Down in the Antarctic, Byrd and his men burrow into the ice and await developments in the loneliest land on earth, In Mexico young American aviators go zipping through the air, dropping bombs and firing machine guns for shecr love of adventure and $125 a day in gold. In the Pacific, Gifford Pinchot’s barkentiae pushes obstinate credulity, bigotry and quackery, and a more urgen. endeavor to lift the under-dog out of his misery and into a life worth living.” SCHOOLS AND CRIME The American public school system—pride of the na- tion for many years—is really a great recruiting ground for our steadily increasing army of criminals, according to an article in the February North American Review by Justice Samuel D. Levy of the New York City Chil- dren's Court. dustice Levy explains it thus: Fully 2,000,000 children in our public schools, a tenth of the total enroliment. are below normal mentally. Given special attention, nearly all of these could be developed into useful citizens, But sincé the ordinary school mxkes little provision for them, they fall behind in their classwork, are dubbed “dummy” by their school fellows, and rapidly develop anti-social attitudes that later lead many of them into criminal pursuits. The remedy, as he sees it, is the establishment of un- graded schools in whtch such children could be educated without being made to feel inferior. The cost, he ad- mits, would be great, but he believes the savings in the crime bill would more than counterbalance it. His suggestion is worth carnest consideration. The National Education Association might well give it some study. COMMON SENSE NEEDED Agitation for a standardized code of signals for auto- mobile drivers still continues. The plan is to be recom- mended, surely. If anything needs standardization that has not already been reduced to that common plane, it is signals of automobile drivers. No two drivers have ever been known to employ the same signals, But such a code of signals, however practical and standardized, cannot take the place of common sense, which every driver was supposed to have been ¢ndowed with at the beginning of his earthly carecr. Laws, regulations, codes, edicts can never compel an individua! to do that which common sense should teach him to do, but doesn’t. A standardized code of auto- bile signals will not be hard to adopt; it will never be used by 90 per cent of automobile drivers. on to ® fabled island of romance, and a millionaire paving contractor from Cleveland sails for the South Seas sud an undiscovered island paradise he learned about in a dream.

Going After the Big Fellow ALTH “DIET ADVICE Dr Frank Mc ae men cues BMeesse JT AG ILDREN’S DISEASES ARE UN- as NECESSARY Several hundred thousand children die every year in the United States from diseases which are absolutely unnecessary. Many people believe that such diseases as measles, chick- enpox, scarlet fever and whooping cough are unavoidable, but this opin- ion is far from being true. We know tisat these illnesses are usually con- tracted because the child is exposed to these diseases, and the boards of health are ier doing iho good by compel OWN C contagious diseases to be isolated to Prevent epidemics as much as pos- sible. However, I want to impress upon the mind of every one of my readers that it is impossible for a child to contract these diseases unless it first ‘has become weakened by enervation of toxemia. This condition is only possible when the child has been subjected to errors in diet, ex- cessive mental strain, late hours, and lack of bathing or fresh air, or other unhygienic habits. The fault must usually be laid to a lack of knowledge on the part of parents, as the child is almost completely under their con- trol. Nature should not be unjustly blamed for these diseases of child- hood. The parents are frequently careless and permit their youngsters to do things which are known to be injurious, and one parent tries to out- do the other in bribing the child with sweets in order to gain the child's affection. Mother buys her loved one a lollypop, and father tries to go one better with an ice cream cone, then grandma comes along and treats to a bag of popcorn, while aunty feels that she is negligent unless she buys a sack of jelly-beans. And so the game of bribing goes on at the expense of the health of the youngster whom they all love so dearly. When the child becomes sick, the parents are willing to spend any amount of money and many weary hours at the bed- side in an effort to beat off the “demon” disease while nature is really trying to adjust the metabol- ism and bring the child through a made into a étrong and beautifui specimen of health if the correct training is instituted at an early 22 Dr. McCoy will gladly answer Personal questions on health and diet, addressed to him, care of the Tribune. Enclose a stamped addressed envelope for reply. Food must be carefully selected and Proportioned and combined with chemical exactness if the ultimate Perfection in physical growth is to be hoped for. There is no sound as sweet as is the happy laughter of a healthy child. The responsibility lies entirely with the parents or to make a serious and sincere study of the prin- ciples of diet and child-raising. The results are so great and the efforts so small that no one should hesitate in taking up these studies. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Ductless Glands Question: W. H. G. asks: “Will you please give me the name, lo- cation and function of that particu- lar organ in the human structure which scientists of today are finding out is held responsible for most all the diseases we seem to be heir to and, at the same time have learned that we individually, are able to con- trol to the extent that we can keep from having all these troubles that the human family is complaining of today?” Answer: There is no one particu- lar gland which {s responsible for the diseases of the human body. Perhaps you are referring to the ductiess glands of which there are quite a number in the body, each having special functions—some of which are unknown, Olive Oil Question: A. 8. B. asks: “Is olive oil too much fat for the body if a scant two ounces stirred in the juice of an orange is used every night to Prevent constipation?” Answer: I see no harm in your using two ounces of olive oil a day, important to the average woman and girl of today than “good materials” and things that will “last.” * ok o% MORE IMPORTANT Our mothers bought their clothes with an eye to wearing qualities.

However, i‘ is a question whether the man who stays at home does not get mors real romantic thrills out of life than the man who goes traveling. The chap who actually sets out adventuring is apt to get disillusioned quickly. He goes to the ends of the carth to sce the storied places of his dreams and finds life there wags riuch as it did at home. Bang’ck, Khyber Pass, Port Said, Samarang, Callao, Rio, Punta Arenas—these are glamorous names. But when a man actually gets to one or the other of theso places, what does he find? Glittering scenery that looks unreal, strange people who turn out to be very like the people «: home, an eddying current of life that under the surface is identical with the life he has always known. ‘The glamour disappears; he notices that Shanghai has ‘ilthy alleys, that Smyrna is full of beggars, that there we meny distracting insects along the Amazon, that Algiers is hotter than any place has any right to be Worce yet, he rides through Penang in an American flivver, eats American breakfast food in Rangoon, sces an American movie in Port of Spain. His romance has fate like the mists of the morning. But th. stay at home never gets disillusioned that way. He ‘s the one traveler who never gets footsore, the one globe-trotter to whom all places are forever new and fresh and inviting. The dull trappings of reality never clovd the sunless skies of his South Seas. Burma and Socotra are always places on a different kind of planet, to him, inhabited by people who are essentially unlike the people at home. Are yot: one of the multitude that does all its traveling in an arm chair at home? If so you are lucky. The world can always be romantic and glamorous for you. The names on the map that thrilled you when you first saw them will always thrill you. You can keep all of your illusions. By ALICE JUDSON PEALE Two young ladies in their early teens were talking to each other. “How do you know when you are really and truly in love?” asked one. “Oh, that's easy,” said the other. “When anybody gives you a tingly feeling all over, that’s love.” This. is perhaps a fair example of the much talked of sophistication of the younger generation. They don't know what it’s all about, and from each other they gather such pearls {of wisdom and helpfulness as the above. Of course these young people. want to know what love is. And of course they can learn only by falling in and out of love a few times. But even the girl who is blessed with a variety f experience may never “find out what she needs to know unless she is helped to know her own nature, and to understand her own experience.

But Tarkington has been, in fiction, a realist, and can adapt himself to the realities. If he must remain blind—and millions of Americans hope he will not have that fate—he has the satisfaction of having lived fully while he had his eyes; of having maintained a meticulous standard in literature when so many of his contemporaries have divagated. He is, indeed, a realist, but a realist of normality, not of neurasthenia or perversion. If he is to be blind, it be physical blindness, not the blindness of those who sec life only as a psychopathological laboratory. 7@ UOTATIONS eso-—-$) “I have seen more admirals in the last two wecks than I ever thought existed. ‘They don't look nearly as forbidding now as they did in the old days.”—David S.
