CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON (Official City, State and County Newspaper) A WORLD FOOD CENSUS In 1930 the International Institute of Ag iculture will i take a world agricultural census. An American, Leon M. Estabrook, former chairman of the United States crop reporting board, has been selected as director of this im- portant census-taking project and is already perfecting his organizations in the various countries. ‘The immediate purpose of this world survey is to de- termine the exact agricultural output of the world, the amount of arable land under cultivation and not under cultivation, and the amount of land that could be made arable by irrigation and fertilization. The ultimate pur- pose is to ascertain how long the food production can keep pace with the growth in population. In the last quarter century only 37 countries have taken an agricultural census, and they represent less than half the land area of the world and only about 30 per cent of the population. Never in history has there been a com- prehensive survey covering the production of the most important agricultural products in all of the countries | wherein facilities for such a census exist or can be cre- ated. Few needs are of importance equal to that of food, yet the world has no idea what its actual food supply is, or what its potential food resources may be. In the absence of a world census in the past it is apparent that those who have said the world cannot feed more than 5,000,000,000 human beings and indulged in like specu- lations and conjectures were merely guessing. ‘When the census total is arrived at it can be multiplied by two or more to allow for increased food supplies to come in the future from improved agricultural methods, synthetic foods, new foods and new sources of food. And then before the statisticians and birth control advocates begin guessing how soon overpopulation will bring hu- manity face to face with starvation let them compute the quantity of food now wasted through overeating and otherwise. SAFEGUARDING THE TOURIST Popularization of the motor car and auto tour has multiplied the duties and responsibilities of public health agencies, and but for these alert governmental agencies would certainly have been accompanied by disease epi- demics and a high rate of sickness among motor tourists. The federal and state governments are protecting the traveling public by testing drinking water sources for disease germs and requiring public eating places to ob- serve necessary rules of sanitation. That they have been successful to a high degree is evident from the infre- quency of discase epidemics and the rarity of cases where tourists contract disease. No knowledge of medicine and public sanitation is necessary to reveal the hazards of touring by automo- bile if there were no public health activities. It would be exceedingly dangerous to drink from roadside springs and wells, which today are tested and posted if polluted, and contaminated food and unsanitary restaurants and refreshment stands would be far more common than they are today. But this general clean-up is a cause as well as a result of motoring. There are thousands of car owners who ‘would not venture upon a long journey if they had no as- surance of pure food and drink and clean shelter. So it has profited those who serve the tourist to keep clean. PHYSICAL IMPROVEMENT ‘Tne gospel of physical culture, which has done so much to improve the health of the American people, was not preached or practiced to any great extent until the clos- ing decades of the last century. There is documentary evidence to the effect that prior to that and beginning some time after the rough-and-ready pioneer days there ‘was a period of emasculation and physical inactivity. Oliver Wendell Holmes in 1858 wrote, “We have a few good boatmen, but no good horsemen that I hear of. I cannot speak for cricketing; but as for any great athletic feat performed by a gentleman in these latitudes, society would drop a man who should run round the common in five minutes.” Again he wrote: “I am satisfied that such a set of black-coated, stiff- Jointed, soft-muscled, pasty-cumplexioned youth as we can boast in our Atlantic cities never before sprang from Anglo-Saxon lineage.” About the same time Harriet Martineau, commenting on the lack of vigorous health among Americans, spoke of their “spare forms and pallid complexions.” Others who noticed the anemic appearance both of American men and women were Mrs. Trollope, Dickens and Thack- | eray. James Ford Rhodes once called us “a nation of invalids.” ‘These records from the past show the remarkable im- provement in our national! physique. It has been brought about by outdoor life, interest in sports and the gospel of right living, of all of which Theodore Roosevelt was the great exemplar. Today Holmes could boast of the athletes and sportsmen and brawny he-men of his coun- try. - A NEW KIND OF POLITICS Hoover is a shrewd politician but he is a still better administrator whether of public or private busi- Ness. So he is an administrator first and politician aft- _ How long should one have been well acquainted with that he preferred government Hubert Work was close to him he Republican national committee ‘Work expected to be chief dispenser of patronage Hoover administration. When he awakened to the efficient Politicians of the old school, these little miracles of gov- ernment increase his prestige with John Smith, taxpayer. Farm relief, flood control and the other costly federal undertakings imposed upon the Hoover administration WAGES AND THE TARIFF The survey of wages paid in foreign countries made in connection with the tariff-making now in progress over- looked one very important angle of this factor. Wages have not been considered in their relation to man-hour output. To reduce this formula to easily understood terms let the following example be cited: If the American work- man is paid $5 a day for producing goods selling at $30, then if the foreign workman is paid only $2 a day for producing goods worth $12, then both the domestic and j the foreign goods are on a parity despite the wage dis- parity. In England the cotton-weaving system permits one inan to operate looms, whereas in the south the “stretch- ing out” system permits one operative to keep 100 ma- chines going. The ordinary procedure at the tariff hearings would be to emphasize the disparity between the wages paid to textile workers here and in England, and yet in the case cited the output per operativé here is much higher. If the argument of protecting the American “dinner pail” is to be used. then the labor cost per unit of product should be the basis of comparison and not mere wage relation- ships. THE TREK TO EUROPE The vacation exodus of tourists bound for’ foreign shores is in full flood and this year's crest is reported to tower above all records, By mid-September the curren- cies of Europe will have profited by more than $525,- 000,000, which is the sum spent by American tourists in Eurcpe last year. % When it is stated, however, that Americans are spend- ing in Europe twice as much as that continent’ pays us annually in settlement of war debts, it is necessary to re- member that American money in Europe is not all profit for the natives. It costs the countries across the water at least half of these tourist dollars to feed, house, trans- port and entertain their visitors, although there may ex- ist in the minds of some returning travelers strong doubts as to that being a conservative estimate. Nevertheless the tourist item helps considerably, especially if indirect results are counted. It is like the pitcherful of water poured down the pump. It sets the flow of national productivity in motion. It has been said that Europe's economic recovery began with the stimulus of the post-war invasion of American tourists with money to spend and anxious to spend it. It isn’t what a woman says that is shocking but the fact that a woman could say it. ‘When you find a man who has no prejudice, you have found one who has no convictions. Unless he is careful, congress may order an investiga- tion of President Hoover's fishing proclivities. | Editorial Comment | MASTER AND SLAVE (Duluth Herald) Among the many interesting stories brought to light during the recent reunion of the United Confederate Vet- erans in Charlotte, North Carolina, was one about a former Dixie soldier and a colored man who has never been freed., The two entered the Civil war together, the white man asa captain in a Mississippi regiment and the slave, as was the custom in the Southern army, as his master’s bodyguard. After the war the colored man refused to accept his freedom and the two hgve been inseparable companions ever since. The captain is an old man of eighty-four now, and the faithful bodyguard is ninety, and when they attended the recent reunion they attracted the attention of a news photographer. In the picture he took of them for the newspapers the handsome old captain is seated. with his colored friend standing at his side. The expression on his strong, intelligent face seems to mean that he glories in his chains. Fidelity is too cold a term for a relationship like that, and even friendship with all its beautiful implications is net enough. Only love, the love that makes all men— white or black—brothers, and that comes from God, can explain it. THE MECHANICAL ROBBER - (Minneapolis Journal) Slot machine gambling, at first glance, looks like a petty vice, a game at which the devotec—or victim— would be likely to lose not more than a handful of quar- ‘ters at most. Yet an employe of a Minneapolis bank has pleaded guilty to the embezzlement of four thousand dollars, with the explanation that the larger part of the stclen money was lost playing a slot machine. As a matter of fact, the sufferer from the obsession that a quarter slot machine can be beaten, can lose more money in a few hours than he would be likely to lose playing roulette, faro or poker for mederately high stakes. | Playing steadily, the victim can lose fifty dollars an hour. And if he dallies with this mechanical robber daily for any considerable period, it does not take him long to run through such a sum as four thousand dol- lars. Whereas the victim of a roulette wheel has— theoretically at least—eighteen or nineteen chances out of forty, the slot machine can be adjusted by its owner so that the victim has only about one chance in thirty. A community that does not tolerate gambling houses certainly should not tolerate slot machincs. For it has been demonstrated that a quarter slot machine can strip its victim of his employer’s cash even more surely and more swiftly than a gambling house can. AS LINCOLN SAW IT (Toledo Blaue) | Opponents of the new tariff bill in form passed by the house of representatives say South American countries \ will resent the removal of leather and shoes from the free list. That is true, unfortunately true for South American countries which produce hides in great excess of their own requirements have enjoyed a profitable market in the United States—a market which for them may be curtailed. These same South American countries are among our est friends and best customers. Much of the money ; their people receive for export mest, hides and grain is spent in the United States for automobiles, farm machin- ery, typewriters, sewing machines and other manufac- tured articles. The other side of the. argument is that, protected by a tariff wall, farmers and cattle men in the United States will become more prosperous since they will get a little higher price for hides and leather. Their profits will be spent in the United States, enlarging the home market for automobiles, farm machinery and innumerable other articles and commodities. Foreign shoe manufacturers in several countries will re- sent the shoe tariff which will become effective if the senate concurs in the heuse bill. These counties have been sending shoes made by cheap labor in great quan- tities to the United States. This foreign competition has been disastrous for the domestic shoe manufacturers and many of their employes are idle or have been forced into other lines of employment. The shoe tariff may have the effect of increasing shoe prices somewhat, but it also will stimulate domestic om Berucihe, thus increasing the Rome or wernete 10 Se industry to buy other kinds B As a national policy the free trade theory, most vigor- ously advocated fcrty years ago by Prank Hurd, its noted Toledo exponent, has been definitely abandotied, but the endless argument over tariff rates and tariff tinkering is as confusing now a3 it was when Lincoln summarized it “Ido not know much about the tariff. but I do know this i ane we buy manufectured goods abroad, we goods and the foreigner ‘When we buy manufactured both the goods and the ‘3 bx tion... create more jobs and devour more tax dollars, but Hoover | efficiency will make the pill easier to swallow. | No Place for One-Arm Driving! . NEWS NOTE: HUNDREDS CROWD WHITEHOUSE TO SHAKE HAND OF PRESIDENT." ae Are women “monsters of cruelty?” Arnold Bennett says so. He says in toto—"“Even the finest and most agreeable women, such as those with whom I have been careful to surroun myself in my domestic existence, ar monsters of cruelty.” While a great wave of protest wil! arise from most of our sex, I hav often marveled at the cruelty of women—especially mothers. Nothing so seems to make a woman oblivious of the rights and needs of everyone else in the world as to have children of her own. Not long ago I saw and heard two women wrangling in fury at a public drinking fountain. It was Sundey, and hot. Every family in that city, it seemed, had gone to the park for a picnic. Hordes of children hovered 1 about the fountain with pails and; drinking cups. “Just As Good” Suddenly one woman scuttled un like an avenging spirit, swept a half dozen children away from the foun- tain, thrust forward her own brood, and turned to glare at the mothers of those swept asid: “They weren't ing my kids their turn,” she said. “And my kids aro just as thirsty and just as good as yours.” While the inciden: may seem far- fetched and we may argue that this crude bit of supermaternity is not at all typical, one sees again and again a bit more refined exampies of the greediness of mother one’s own somet.mes bring a cor- responding tenderness towards all other humanity. But, on the whole, I fear that Bennett is right. Proud Parents The parents of Arthur Schreiber cf Maine, the stowaway in the “Ycilow Bird,” who, though he almost defcated the flight, was acclaimed with both praise for courage and criticism for his selfish ruthlessness, greeted their son with open arms when he returned from Europe a few days ago. But the son was singulcrly abashed, while his parents sang his praises. Parents are apt to be like that. A bit confused about all the goings on in this world, they just assume that if their kids do it, it must be worth writing home about. love towards | Family Quarrel Sve2king of parents, here are Mr. )and Mrs. Mex Oser, the former Ma- | thilde McCormick, visiting her mother, Mrs. Edith Rockefeller McCormick, for the first time since her marriage iand her esirangement from her | mother. | The estrangement lasted six or , Seven years and was not broken even {by the advent c: Peter and Anita ;Oser.

FUNDAMENTALS (By Alice Judscn Peale) We are learning something about fundamentals, Recent studies made by doctors and psychologists show conclusively that in the whole development of the child nothing is more important for his future happiness and success than the proper development of his emotions. They mean as much to him as his health and more than his schooling. ‘We have all noticed in a haphaz- ard way that gifted children often didn’t turn out as well as everyone expected. We have seen children who were brilliant in academic work fail |lamentably in other phases of their j lives. We have cbserved children who were most carefully educated at good {schools and who were showered with ‘all sorts of “advantages” achieve less \than youngsters who had to scramble !for what they got and who appeared not especially well endowed in the i first place. We have all more or less hazily guessed that the answer lay in that mysterious thing called character. The scientific studies which have been made make it plain that our ihunch was right and that character or personality is determined by the emotional development of the indi- I vidual. It is, then, the education of tyour child’s emotions which is most important of all. And where ard wnen does that jecucation begin? At nome. In the \cradie. Your job is far more impor- ‘tant than the schools. It is at home ; that your child will learn the really j great lessons of life, and he will have 1B: dearn most of them before he is i six! It is at home with you tiat he wilt learn all that really matters, all that he cannot acquire without help. It jis at home that he must learn how | to love and work and play, how to ‘control his temper, how to take frus- ration, how to endure pain. | If you can teach him these the rest twill take care of itself, for he has ; mastered the fundamentals of a good life.

They are one of the few alkaline-forming nuts, and for these reasons may be used by those suf- fering from diabetes or acidosis. They are especially rich in phosphorus, cal- cium and magnesium. That the value of the almond is being appreciated is shown by the fact that more almond trees are grown than any other nut trees. The almond is closely related to the Peach tree. In fact, Luther Burbank performed an interesting experiment of crossing almonds with peaches, producing a peach with an almond center. If almonds are finely chewed they are readily digested, but they are even more valuable in the form of finely ground almond butter, since the di- gestive juices can penetrate the finely divided particles more readily. Fine- ly ground almonds may be used as a butter substitute for bread or sand- wiches. The almond butter may be diluted with water to make an excel- Tent dressing for vegetables and for salad. It may be mixed with a large ‘amount of water and a little honey so that it will resemble milk in compo- sition, flavoring, and appearance, and even in the fact that it will curdle af- ter a short time. Almonds contain a large amount of oil and are for this reason fattening with most people. The oil is easily extracted by pressing and is of ap- Proximately the same nutritive value as the olive oil but more agreeable in flavor.

This oil is quite readily al sorbed by the skin and for this re: son may be used to advantage in mas- sage. Almonds are as rich in protein as lean meat. About nine ounces of al- monds will provide the body with suf- ficient protein for one day. In roasting almonds in large quan- tities, they are not baked in ovens as is commonly supposed, but are liter- ally French fried by being immersed for a short time in boiling hot cocoa- nut oil. A longer roasting produces the burnt almond frequently used for flavoring ice cream. The blanched almond is the sweet almond with the the brown outer skin removed after which the almond is dried in the warm oven. Almonds may be blanched at home by first pouring boiling water over them and letting them soak for about a half minute af- ter which they are rinsed in cold wa- ter and the skin removed by pressure of the fingers. The brown almond skin, being acid forming, should not be eaten.

A. writes: “My right hand and arm ‘sleeps’ so much I can hardly do any writing. What do you think is the cause of it? Iam 63 years old, and had it a few years when I was about 40, but it left me. Please tell me what to do.” Answer—The numbness in your right arm is due to poor circulation, and this in turn may be caused by pressure on the nerves which go from the spine to the arm. A chiropractor or osteopath may be able to help you in one or two treatments. How to Use Milk Question—Mrs. A. R. writes: “I read in your column that milk should not be taken with sandwiches. When should milk be used?” Answer—Milk should never be used with sandwiches or with regular meals. It should be taken by itself, or combined with one kind of fruit, or with only non-starchy vegetables. Stomach Trouble Question—Mrs. 8S. S. R. writes: “I have had stomach trouble for nearly two years, and very often I have dis- tressing pains below the stomach. The doctor thinks I will have to have an operation and have the gall-bladder taken out before I shall be better. Do you think I shall be obliged to have this operation?” Answer—It is unwise for me to at- tempt to diagnose your case through this column or to estimate whether or not you should have the gall-blad- der operation. I find only a small Percentage of gall-bladder cases rc- quire operations, as a diet treatment will usually effect a complete cure. The diet should be tried first and if this fails it is time enough to try sur- gery. Vitamin X Question—Alice V. asks: “What foods, including vegetables, contain vitamin E?” Answer — The vitamin E is now called vitamin “X,” and is supposed to be an unknown principle found mostly in grain, This principle is be- lleved to be necessary to the human body for the purpose of reproduction. (Copyright, 1929, by The Bell Syndi- cate, Inc.) GERMAN SUB IN U. S. On July 10, 1916, diplomatic repre- sentatives of France and England filed protests at Washington against the presence of the Detuschland, a German submarine, in a U. 8. port. The German undersea vessel, built wholly for purposes of commerce, had arrived safely in Baltimore, July 9, | 1916, after @ daring trip across the “Atlantic sometimes beneath the very keels of the warsh:ps of its enemies. The French and English diplomats held the sub was potentially a war- ship and that is should not be al- lowed to sail from an American port. United States naval experts, however, inspected the craft and found it pure- ly a commercial vessel, unarmed and incapable of being fitted with tor- Pedoes or large guns. ‘The coming of the Deutschland fur- nished a dramatic surprise as it was the first commercial submarine in history. The craft carried a cargo of dyestuffs from Germany to the tl United States. The sub was 300 feet long, 30 feet wide and carried 1,000 tons of cargo and a crew of 23 men. It cost $500,- 000 and its cargo of dyestuffs on the first voyage was said to have paid for the whole enterprise. if Our Yesterdays if oo FORTY YEARS AGO Col. C. B.
