Kresge Bidg (Official City, State and Coun’y Newspaper) THE NEW AGE OF FAITH It is a long time since the steamer Vestris went to the bottom off the Virginia capes, carrying 100 people down with her; but new facts about the tragedy are still com- ing out. At the present inquiry in London it is disclosed that the steamer was considerably overloaded when it cleared from New York, and competent witnesses have testified that this was a contributory cause to her sinking. The citizen who embarks on a steamship has not, naturally, any way on carth of telling whether the vessel is loaded properly or equipped properly. Things of the sea are a closed book to most landsmen. To make a sea voyage is to perform an act of faith—faith that unknown men have been conscientious and thorough in the per- formance of their duties. Indeed, this is becoming increasingly true of everything we do. Never before was the average man so much under the necessity of taking it for granted that his fellow men would be upright and capable. The machine age might well be called the age of faith. You do not have to make a sea voyage to demonstrate this. Every day of your life you stake your life on faith that the men you meet will do their parts properly. For instance: you drive along a street in your automo- bile at a speed of 30 miles an hour. Coming toward you on the left, is a stream of autos going the other direc- tion. The cars whiz past you at a speed equal to your own, missing you by a scant two or three feet. You are putting up your life on the faith that none of these drivers is drunk, or incompetent or near-sighted. If one of those cars should swerve slightly out of line you would have a bad smashup that would probably kill you —but you simply take it for granted that all of these un- known drivers are men as good as yourself. You could find a similar instance in almost every hour of your daily routine. The whole complicated fabric of modern life is held together by nothing in the world but faith. ‘That is why the bungler—the careless, witless incom- petent—is able to do more harm today than ever before in history. In the old days it usually took @ certain amount of malice to bring about a disaster. Today a moment's in- attention on the part of the most well-meaning of men can have fearful consequences. Incompetence may yet be rated the most serious crime on our calendar. END JUSTIFIES MEANS ‘There is nothing weak or flabby about the calves re- vealed by the short skirt, neither has the girl of this generation the drooping shoulders and spiritless expres- sion which characterized some past generations of wom- anhood. The modern girl is bubbling over with vigor and enthusiasm; she is supple, active and exhibits marvelous vitality and physical endurance. Gone is the anemic wall-flower of a generation ago. Recognizing this, how can anybody condemn the modern girl for her striving after the “boyish figure?” ‘Though she may be dieting for the elusive svelte form she !s manifestly not undermining either her physical or mental strength and surely she is not less alluring weigh- ing 10 or 20 pounds less. But when the truth is learned it will be found that malnutrition is not the real secret of the reduced fem- inine lines. There is a well-founded suspicion that that secret is exercise—tennis, swimming, golf, dancing, hiking, skating and other sports. Might not there be some value to womanhood in general in the dietary self-denial? It demonstrates great will-power when a woman over a Period extending into weeks and months voluntarily de- prives herself of her favorite sweetmeats and delectable edibles. Many of the stronger sex have faild in the at- tempt even with the moral support of doctor's orders. ‘The famous surgeon, Dr. W. J. Mayo, finds the modern girl an admirable product and, being pleased with the result of this evolution in femininity, repeats that the end justifies the means, irrespective of what the means may be. ANGLO-AMERICAN FRIENDSHIP Some Americans show a tendency to be touchy and oversensitive, and to attach too much importance to what, 4s said about the United States and its people by the writ- ers and speakers of other lands. The mere fact that the opinion expressed is a foreign dictum gives it, in their eyes, an authenticity and importance to which it is rarely entitled. Obscure writers, minor novelists and unknown penny- @-liners from Europe all have their fling at America and most anti-American criticisms give them the least thought. Gensitiveness to these frothy criticisms often blunts Europea: country, and has yielded excellent results. Un- der i., congress would get a better idea of what the ex- ecutive branch of the government was doing, and cooper- ation would be greatly enhanced. In addition, a cabinet officer like Fall would find his style vastly cramped if he had to answer questions on the floor of congress every week. Teapot Dome would never have become a national scandal if this law had been passed a decade ago. A BRILLIANT AIR RECORD National Air Transport, which flies air maiiplanes be- tween New York, Cleveland, Chicago, Kansas City and Dallas, has just completed the third year of its opera- tion, and is celebrating by revealing the figures that its three years’ work have rolled up. They reflect an enor- mous amount of credit on the company and on aviation as a whole. In three years, N. A. T. planes have flown 4,674,343 miles, of which 1,616,445 were at night. They have car- ried a total of 2,113,303 pounds of mail and 105,959 pounds of express. At present they are averaging 6500 miles of flight every day. National Air Transport has a right to be very proud of this record. It demonstrates clearly the way in which aviation has established itself in this country. NO DEARTH OF FLYERS Secretary of War Good denies that army flyers are leaving the service in wholesale lots in order to accept better paid positions with commercial aviation companies. Undoubtedly, a good number of men have done so, and will continue to do so. But even if resignations were coming in faster than they are, the situation wouldn't | be particularly alarming. In time of war all of these men would come back into the service instantly. If the country builds up a large body of competent flyers, as it is doing at present, the aviation branch of its national defense can easily be ex- panded overnight, whether the bulk of its flyers in peace time are in the army or in civilian life. The stork is symbolic of birth, the dove of peace, the dodo of liberty. We are approachisg the season when some folks will insist on rocking the boat. You can learn where a man is from if you can learn which senators he is ashamed of. It's easy enough to court a girl while driving a car if she's one of the cooperative kind. A college president is expected to get funds or provide @ religious atmosphere, depending on the section. Strange that the use of many languages stopped work on the Tower of Babel. It doesn't work that way in New York. | Editorial Comment | CHEMICAL MARVELS (St. Paul Daily News) A mechanical man opens the exposition of chemical industries now in progress at New York, at which there are some 500 marvels on display. Among other things are a toy train which starts, stops or backs up in obedience to the spoken word; an ap- paratus which will make dry ice in 30 seconds; a gas mask that might be used to relieve passengers from the disagreeable effluvia of garlic and cheap perfume on the subway; a new metal, called columbium; and a pocket device by which the scofflaw can test his own hooch. To judge. by the headlines, New York is vastly more interested in the last mentioned marvel than in any of the other 499. It consists of a flask containing certain chemical reagents, into which the Doubting Thomas pours his bootleg spoil. If it turns pink, it contains. wood alcohol, and if yellow, denatured alcohol. Just one more example of how human ingenuity can be depended on to surmount every obstacle. AMERICA LIKES GREEN STUFF (Duluth Herald) The man with the hoe may need some sort of relief, but the eagerness with which the American public is de- manding the products of his labor can give him no cause for complaint. According to a recent report of the Federal marketing bureau twice as many fresh and canned vegetables are being eaten in the country now than there was ten years ago. “Give us more green stuff” is the cry everywhere, es- Pecially in the cities, and lettuce, spinach, cabbage, celery and similar products come in by the ton where formerly an occasional case was seen. Shipments of lettuce alone are now seven times larger than they were in 1920 and rail handlings run to fifty thousand cars yearly. Last year seventeen truck vegetables filled 350,000 cars, nor did the shipments include such field crops as white and sweet potatoes or much of the products used by the canning factories. These figures pay no attention to the enormous volume of vegetables hauled by truck into cities and towns from near-by areas. This new appetite for green stuff among Americans is due to the encouragement of health authorities, news- Paper articles such as that by Dr. Brady published daily in The Herald, and also because it is now possible for everybody to have a wide variety of fresh vegetables the year around. PRIVACY (New York Times) Detailed accounts of the incarceration and first ex- Periences in jail of Harry FP. Sinclair must have been of wide interest. His career has been both sensational and notorious. He is said to be the richest man ever put in jail. His defensive litigation against a government seek- ing to punish him for his infractions of the law has oc- cupied first pages for six years. But after seeing him into his new job as pharmacial assistant to the doctor and nurse of Washington's jail, and after describing the con- ditions under which he works and lives, the present duty of reporting has certainly been discharged, and Sinclair should have the right of every other prisoner to privacy during his term in prison.

ANSWERS QUESTIONS AND Tuberculosis Question: Mrs, 8. 8. writes: “For the last it een my cree has been in the su from tuberculosis, My little boy was born three weeks before my husband went to the hospital. That was my first knowledge that he had tuberculosis, Now, what chance has my boy? Will he inherit the disease, or can I care io so that he will be saved from Answer: The tendency toward tu- berculosis may be inherited, but it is not considered that the disease, itself, can be transmitted in this manner except in very rare cases. If your little boy is fed upon a well bal~ anced diet, allowed plenty of sleep, and perhaps given sunbaths, there is not much danger of his contracting this disease. I believe that it is quite easy for one to avoid contracting this disease by the proper hygienic meas- ures, Salisbury Steak Question: Mrs. J. C. writes: “I missed your article stating what Sal- isbury steak was and why it was su- perior to hamburger, etc. How is it Prepared? I am learning much from your column each day.” Answer: Salisbury steak is made by grinding only the red, lean part of round steak after having removed all gristle and fat. This may seem x similar to hamburger steak, but it is really more palatable and more to digest; it has an entirely different flavor than when the fat is included. Allow three-quarters of a pound for each person served when purchasing the steak. After grinding the meat, Press flat into an ungreased cake tin to a depth of about one inch, and Place in a hot oven for about five minutes after which time turn down the fire. A tasty addition is made by grinding parsley or spinach with the meat. Do not season until ready to iad use only a small amount (Copyright, 1929, by the Bell Syndi- cate, Inc.) MOTHER GOOSE (By Alice Judson Peale) Mother Goose always has been ac- cepted as the classic for babies. Every- one agrees that no better, merrier jingles are to be found in literature. Nothing compares with them for swinging rhythm, pat and funny rhymes, and broad generic humor. It always has been assumed that familiarity with Mother Goose’s chil- dren should be part of each child's first experience with language. No one ought to grow up unac- quainted with Jack and Jill, Little Tommy Tucker, Georgie Porgy and the rest. But they ought not to form a large proportion of the child’s literary diet until he is about four years old. One reason why Mother Goose is not best for babies is that it is al- most entirely concerned with things which have no contact with their own experience. Children who are just emerging from infancy have no easy task in orienting themselves in their own comparatively simple world. The very distortion and silliness which gives Mother Goose its charm must be confusing to them. It is a Particular kind of nonsense which they have not yet the background to Aisescinie. a lome made stories, 1 a chants, while not half Pen yen a literary point of view, are much better for the very young child.
