CHICAGO BOSTON NEW YORK (Official City, State and County Newspaper) THE DAY OF APPRAISAL Tomorrow the nation attains its 153rd_ birthday. In its adolescent days this anniversary wa @ reverence that it docs not command today. natal day of a young nation then. Now it is mer Roman holiday, rather. Vigilance—e‘ernal vigilance the fathers ot the nauion ‘dod Ik was a ly a termed it—then was the watchword. Dearly bought in- dependence faced the need of maintaining itself. Birth pains divided the people. The new regime was difficult sons. One was economic. It was a poor country, with its magnificent wealth then unrealized or undemonstrated. The use of coal had not yet been discovered. Petroleum deposits were not known and, had they been known, there no use to which this liquid treasure could have been applied. The na- tion was born before the days of the automobile—yes, before the days cf the steamboat, the railroad locomo- tive or even the day of canals. It was a long time in ad- vance of the telegraph, too. These were factors greater than oven the Revolution in developing this nation into what it is today. Since that day ‘n 1776, when, from the old state house in Independence square, in Philadelphia, the Liberty bell pealed out the proclamation that the thirteen orig- inal colonies had shaken off the yoke of the mother country, inventive genius has been shaping this nation into an industrial and commercial commonwealth, out of the political entity that its independence made it in the beginning. People have been forced to quit thinking of America in the terms of the Declaration of Independence and have had to deal with it in the terms of an economic epoch. The idealizations of Thomas Jefferson have had to accommodate tiemselves to a mechanical age. Evo- to maintain for several rt lution has been in progress and along that path the na- | tion has come to what it is today. ike an individual the nation has been inventorying it- self all these years. Every Fourth of July has brought to the fore the dominant question, Quo vadis? Whither? This was the burning query when the American repub- lic went to war a sccond time in 1812. It was the prob- lem when hostilities ensued with Mexico. And it rose to its climax in 1881, when the salvation of the nation became the dividing issue of the people. No war in which this nation has engaged was without this searching of destiny. Could this republic endure? Or was it doomed to the same decay that had befallen Greece and Rome? Yes, in peace as well as in war, the American people have always weighed the permanency of their country and government in the scales of historical uncertainty and the hitherto finity of political existence. Had Washing- ton and the founders created a political organism that could weather the perils to which other governments ‘and peoples had bowed? Had Lincoln permanently saved government of the people, for the people and by the people? Optimism has never been able to,answer the doubt. whether this nation is built on eternal rock or shifting sand. Time changes all things. The American republic has had to accommodate itself to considerable new phil- osophy since it developed out of the travail of the Rev- olutionary period. It will have to shape itself to all the changes of the future, and what these will be no one can Prophesy now. The world has come to the stage where travel on foot has been surpassed by horseback and vehicular travel, by the steamship and the steam locomo- tive—and the latter has had to divide its domain with the electric locomotive, the automobile and the airplane. ‘What economic development involving the very exist- ence of the nation, as we now know it, may not come out of the future, still unfathomed, possibly to reshape it to economic compulsion to which political form will have to yield? Consider the problems of the day. Everywhere rest- Tessness if not actual lawlessness. Industrial conditions shrinking in an endeavor to produce cheaper,-on a standardized scale, without regard to the fortunes of the individual worker. Questionable fidelity to a free ballot. A constant changing of values. Flux, uncertain indus- trial and commercial evolution, a flabby political organ- ism. Ills of no mean portent. , Qn the other hand, perhaps out of these very uncer- tainties and forebodings the possibilities of a greater day emerging—a day when the American people shall be more firmly established in their liberty and their culture as they now are established in their industrial and com- mercial prosperity. ‘The great problem is how to give spiritual permanency to this freest of all governments, to this richest of coun- ‘tries, to its morals and its civilization. ‘The Fourth of July should not be a Roman holiday. It should be a day—not necessarily devoid of the emotions faith and out of their loyalty and hope in the future of their national destiny. No other nation in history was born as ours was born: other nation was dedicated to quite the ideals to eh ours is dedicated; and no other nation is follow- F a EB 4 li et All; of poveri happiness that comt and perfect self-command. We have not reached this goal yet. Not by many, | many years of struggle. But we are heading toward it. It is in front of us—shining a beautiful vision, drawing us on forever. from DAWES OFF TO A GOOD START General Dawes has again shown a knack for getting off to a flying start.

His m jgrowty of the Seven ago the total investment in aviation com- panies was but $5,000,000. Today the public has $200,- 000,000 invested in £0 leading companics. r interesting facts relating to the industry are the 58,000 miles of established air lines in operation in the United States, the 200 airplane types ond 33 airpiane motors with the government's stamp of approval, the 843 pounds of mail carried by the airmail in 1927 red with 3,625,000 pounds in 1928, and the employ- ment of 100,000 persons in the industry. Aviation’s greatest hope lies in the multiplication of ‘S.

An industry which in so many phases of its develop- ment can grow 300 per cent in 12 months and duplicate that remarkable growth the next year is unusual even for this land of industrial miracles. In spite of its fears and uncertainties the nation is being driven or drawn into the air. . The easiest way to lose your memory is to borrow money. Editorial] Comment BLAMING OUR UNRULY APPETITE (New York World) A recent bulletin of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company calls attention to a disconcerting increase in the death rate from diabetes in the last three years, and especially during the first quarter of 1929, and it expresses the opinion that this is “largely the result of the rich- ness of our modern diet.” Within the same weck O. E. Baker of the department of agriculture also discussed the changes which have been taking place in American diet, and to this he attributed in part the present farm prob- Jem. So our eating habits, it seems, are to blame for many of our troubles. Mr. Baker pointed out that since 1900 the per capita consumption of all cereals has decreased over 36 per cent. The consumption of corn in this period has declined 40 per cent,-and the consumption of wheat has dropped 20 per cent since 1914. There has also been a big decline in the consumption of beef, but a considerable increase in the consumption of milk. These figures reflect the passing of the old-fashioned beefsteak breakfast and show that urban folk are not such heavy eaters today as they were at the beginning of the century. This trend at first sight may seem incon- sistent with the conclusion of the insurance experts that the increase in certain types of degenerative diseases is due to the richness of modern diet. The two views, how- ever, are not necessarily in conflict. While we are con- suming less cereal and beef products, we have been steadily increasing our consumption of sugar and of vari- ous dainties. Plain food and a lot of it has given way to less quantity but a greater variety, with much of it rich and highly concentrated. Eating less bread and meat does not mean plainer living, and perhaps not higher thinking either, HOOVER ECONOMY (Washington Star) For the five and a half years of the preceding white house regime, the country became familiar with a phrase that was virtually a national slogan—“Coolidge economy.” It appears that we are on the verge of a new era of the same sort, to be known as “Hoover economy.” Hardly any other, construction can be placed on the announce- ment just issued by the acting director of the budget, R. O. Kloeber, in the president's name. Mr. Hoover, the communique sets forth, will allow no increase in the federal budget for 1931 above the amount appropriated for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1930. A total of $3,736,000,000 is the estimated cost of operating the ship of state during the business twelvemonth about to set in. Beyond that figure the president is determined not to go. Herbert Hoover is an engineer. Keeping costs down is of his professional bone and sinew. But he ‘is also a builder, and building, in government as well as in other fields, calls for expenditure. Mr. Hoover has always rated, in and out of office, as a man who looks upon wise ex- Penditure as the sanest form of economy and upon par- simonious retrenchment as the rankest extravagance. The inspiring federal building program, of which he has always been an ardent supporters, is a case in point. The president believes that it is a far more economical prin- ciple for Uncle Sam to house himself in adequate prem- ises of his own than to camp out here, there and every- where in quarters which are not only inadequate, but expensive to lease, besides. The $17,000,000 palace of the department of commerce, of which Mr. Hoover recently laid the corner stone, is going to save the government eventually in rent all it cost, many times over. ‘The nation anticipates an essentially constructive ad- ministration at Herbert Hoover's hands—constructive, in a very literal sense. A dazzling array of projects is al- ready scheduled, and to the promotion of practically all of them he Is formally committed. The president is sign- ing the Boulder Dam bill today. The great water power enterprise will run the treasury into many tens of mil- lions before its beneficent blessings are ready for be- stowal upon Mr. Hoover’s own home territory.

If those who have gall-stones or any other gall bladder disorder will try this treat- ELIMINATING GALL-STONES ‘As gall-stones are formed from the salts of solidified bile, it is often pos- sible to dissolve these stones Ahrough changing the quality or quantity of the bile which is being formed. It takes years for gall-stones to develop, and may take months or even years to dissolve them enough so that they will pass out of the gall bladder. I have found that the most rapid means of bringing about a breaking down of the ll-stones is through various forms of the fruit fast. Dur- ing the fasting regime the cementing material holding the salts together will be more rapidly dissolved than it can be while the patient is living on only a restricted diet. Of course, the one who suffers from gall-stones can- not be on the fruit fast all of the time, but a series of fasts with a re- stricted diet between times will prove very effective. In some cases the gall bladder is so filled with gall-stones as to almost resemble @ bag of marbles. In these cases it is unreasonable to expect a complete cure. If the gall bladder is completely filled with stones, it is evident that it has taken many years for these to accumulate. Frequently the functioning of the gall bladder is so impaired that it is impossible to get enough flow of bile through this organ to bring about the dissolution of the stones. In these cases, the best method of treatment is with surgery. If such a case is prop- erly prepared before the operation, and the operation performed by a skilled surgeon, there is only @ small amount of danger to the operation.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Heart Murmurs in Children Question—Mrs. W. M. writes: “The doctors tell me that my little girl has heart murmur. Is it dangerous? Will she outgrow it? What causes it?” Answer—Many young children through childhood and even adoles- cence will be found to have heart mur- murs if a careful examination is made. In many cases such functional defects will disappear as the child’s muscular system becomes more com- Pletely developed. Most cases can be cured within a short time by a treat- ment through dieting and exercising. The diet should consist of those foods and food combinations which do not produce excessive gas. The exercise should be with calisthenics carefully regulated by a physical instructor. Gas in Ear Question—N. L. H. asks: “Is there such a thing as gas in the inner ear, and how would it affect a person, and what are the symptoms? Is there a cure?” SOE a Dr. James Snook who, until he was fastened upon as a suspect in the murder of Miss Theora Hix, a college co-ed, was a respected member of the faculty of Ohio State University, and who will soon go on trial for the bru- tal slaying of the girl, is not nearly so interesting a figure as his wife who is prostrated with grief at his deed. She is interesting because she is so typical a type of woman—of wife. Her husband was protected for many hours after the body of the girl was found by the wife's alibi. She insisted that he was home reading at the time the murder was thought to have occurred. Later, under. stiff grilling, she admitted that she mere- | ly heard a door open downstairs when she was upstairs, and took it for granted that he was home. When her husband's confession was made; to the effect that he had main- tained an apartment.with the mur- | dered girl for some months; that he hammered her to a pulp and slit her | jugular vein because she had threat- | ened to kill his wife and child because | he was not giving her enough com- } Panionship, and, later, that this was j not only the extramartial love adven- j ture he had had, his wife, denying | herself to all callers, even her family, issued the usually wifely statement. It was something to the effect that | because the man she had been mar- ried to for seven years had been a good provider, a good husband and father, he simply could not have been guilty of first degree murder, or any other kind. i + * * | LIKE THE OSTRICH No species of human beings has the | great genius of imitating the famous ; ostrich act of “head in the sand and Til know nothing” quite so well as wives. “Good provider” becomes synony- mous with all earthly virtue. If they, and their immediate own, are properly fed and clothed and sheltered, ergo, by virtue of that very fact, the one who provides food and clothes and shelter must be virtuous in all his social relationships. As a matter of fact, the “best pro- viders” are often the very gentlemen who seek for lighter diversions out | side the home to make up for the very trials of “good providing.” Or, sometimes, the “gocd providing” comes about in somewhat the same mood as taking home a box of candy in atonement for forgetting the matu- tinal farewell kiss. xe LACKS UNDERSTANDING ‘There is always, to me, something & little more shocking about the wife of a suspected murderer who insists that he “simply could not have done that” than there is in the wife who insists that she knew “he was up to some deviltry.” The first wife connotes an utter lack of sympathetic understanding, an absolute isolation of soul, one from another, which is tragic with its im- plication of loneliness for one or both. ‘The latter connotes an understanding at least. And I wonder if I am unduly cynical in feeling that the wife, so utterly un- suspecting that she could accept the utter unconcern as to his real life Outside the home, is not as often moved by bewilderment as to what will become of ‘her if she leaves him in outraged virtue as she is moved sake. > | BARBS en There are 1015 motions required in the washing of dishes, a University of Chicago student has discovered.
