His shoulders were bent and his knees, somehow, could not quite be straight- ened out. The eyes that looked out above the fringes of the white beard that covered most of his face had a far- away look in them, as if they saw forgotten things that er men missed. on wore the brass-buttoned coat of a Civil war vet- eran, and in his lapel there was the ribboned rosette of & holder of the congressional medal of honor; and as he passed down the aisle of the crowded street car, everyone he passed paid him the tribute of a second, longer, more tful stare. : es cad his fare, went painfully down the steps and dis- appeared in the crowd on the sidewalk, followed by the gaze of half of the occupants of the car. And for a mo- ment, on the faces of those who looked after him, there was a strange expression, such as men and women wear when they have momentarily come in contact with a man who is set apart and somehow higher than them- selves. ... It is interesting to contrast these old soldiers with what they used to be. Now they are bent, old, infirm, waiting for their long lives to draw to a close. But once—nearly three-quarters of a century ago—they were young, spir- ited, eagerly looking forward to whatever life might bring em. eae came from the farthest ends of the sprawling new land that was America in 1861; and, mostly, they had no notion of the high destiny that awaited them. The flags and the bands drew them into the armies, north ‘and south, from humdrum jobs and unexciting lives— from farm and mine and shop and office; and they marched away to make history and take part in tre- mendous events. ‘Thén, after the war, they went back to their jobs; and their fellows, very likely, could not see anything partic- ularly noteworthy about them. The army had made some of them callous and some of them silent. It had taught some how to drink and some how to pray. Some it had ruined and some it had straightened up. But one and all, they went back to their old jobs, or found new ones; and there was little glory in {t for them. It is only now that they get their glory. Now, con- trasting their lives with the ordinary, uneventful, un- dedicated lives of the great average, we can see that they are men set apart—and, when we see them on the street, we feel like tipping our hats to them. ‘We have, in this country today, some 2,000,000 youngish men who can remember service in France. We don't pay very much attention to them. We rub elbows with them constantly; they're scattered into all kinds of jobs, and the mark of their service is not yet upon them. But 40 years from now it will be a different story. Then it will be the World war veterans who are old and bent and tired. They, like the Civil war men today, will be legendary figures to their generation. By that time they will have forgotten the pain and misery of the war. Only its epic quality will be left. Then—like the Civil war veterans, half a century late— | they will get their glory. KICKS AND KICKERS A recently published dictionary boasts of having 400,000 word between A and Z of its alphabetical order. A tremendous number of words indeed, each word possibly in use day in and day out and each word enjoying the acquaintanceship of some companionable human. But how many of these 400,000 words are universally or any- these enlightened United States, but if no other there is one that can truthfully lay claim to universality. Tt is the word ‘kicks,” a diminutive word indeed. Of four letters by actual count unless in the prevalent plural. Like most English words, its use and definitions are many and diversified but its universality extends to only one of these, i. e., to “object strenuously, to raise a bowl, to complain, to protest and vociferate against,” and 60 on ad infinitum. In other and fewer words “kicking” is about the only thing humanity is unanimous in. Every last animal vocally equipped to distinguish itself from other animals by the word “dumb” is inoculated with some pet kick or ® dozen of them, more probably.

EMPLOYMENT INCREASING Another encouraging report has just been issued by the department of labor at Washington on the employment | situation. The nation hopes the department has in this acquired a habit it never will be forced to break. diminishes. Here and there, wherever the department could find information, evidences of improved employ- |ment conditions were collected.

THE SERVICE FLYERS’ RECORD Because of the unusual stunts that their routine calls | on them to do, flyers in the army and navy are generally supposed to run the greatest risks of all aviators. But some figures compiled by a writer in the current Review of Reviews indicate that maybe it isn't so. This writer added the number of miles flown in the past year in each branch of aviation and divided the to- tal by the number cf deaths, to get the average distance flown for each fatality. And here is what he found. The naval flyer can fly for 19 years before meeting a fatal accident. The army flyer can go for 17'2 nary civilian club flyer can go only 13'2 years. Considering the nature of their service, the army and navy flyers are making enviable records for safety. They | don't touch the air mail’s record, of course—nobody does; AN ECONOMICAL STEP Movable coast defense forts which can be chifted quickly from one point on the seacoast to another are now being developed by the U. 8S. army. | Fourteen-inch guns with an effective range of 30) miles, are to be mounted on railway trucks, and em-| Placements for them are to be built at 100 Atlantic coast Ports. Thus, in case of a threatened invasion, the heavy artillery needed to repel an attacking fleet could be quickly shifted from one sector to another, wherever the need might be greatest. If the scheme works out as well as the army men hope. it ought to be a rather economical step. It will relieve | the army from the necessity of building a great chain of | forts—and modern forts, with their giant cuns, cost a| great deal of money.

It does not matter greatly on what date the president and vice president are inaugurated. One of the early calendar reformers, Senator George F. hogar of Massachusetts, wanted to delay the ceremony until April 30, the date of George Washington’s first in- | auguration. But congress can easily deal with its own) sessions by legislation. It can change the date of annual assembling from the first Monday in December to some day in March, and thus get rid of the short session. The only thing that discourages that plan is the Washington summer—something with which the framers of the con- stitution were fortunately unfamiliar. FORD'S EUROPEAN INVASION (St. Paul Dispatch) It is perhaps natural that European automobile makers should not be overjoyed to learn that Henry Ford has a Program for the considerable expansion of his manufac- turing activities on the continent. The antagonism to this project which is finding expression, however, ts not limited to competitcrs in the automobile industry nor is fear of a formidable rival alone at the bottom of it. ‘What has alarmed manufacturers generally in Europe is Mr. Ford’s annowncement that he will introduce the American wage st: rd in his foreign factories. He has asked th> international labor office of the League of Nations to determine how much he must pay his work- men in Europe to give them the same standard of living as those he employs in the United States, and a Boston Sptaniewonist has offered to stand the expense of this dy. The criticism and protest which this announcement has aroused in Europe is quite transparent. Mr. Ford is be- ing accused of “disrupting labor conditions.” By this is meant that he will set a pace in wage increases, if car- ried out, which others may be forced to follow. The Eu- ropean’s fears of Ameffteanization are taking the form of @ very particular frigh® at Fordization, which seems to Justify the worst alarm that has been felt over Ameri- can influence. It might be supposed that his European competitors would be pleased because Mr. Ford to accept a voluntary handicap of greater labor cost. The fact that they are not pleased may perhaps indicate a deep in- ternal premonition that it will be they and not Mr. Ford who in the end will be forced to yield, to reorganize their businesses, to wage the battle on enemy ground. What really frightens them is the possibility of having to play the game according to the American rules of mass pro- | duction, marvelous mechanical efficiency, high wages but low unit costs of finished product. It is small won- der that they do not relish the conflict. Assuming the gradual transformation of Europe to a higher wage level, the consequences would be far-reach- . One of the main props would be knocked out from under American protective policy, for the tariff in theorv at least exists to equalize costs of production at home and abroed. But that is something for the distant future. In the meantime Mr. Ford probably is not concerning him- self unduly over thece criticisms of his venture. He en- countered something similar when he announced his lication at Washington. @ large percentage of American cities is paying nearly that much for the lowest basic wage, that of common street : Again, the committee on recent economic changes the United States has only = month since had this to the high wage economy: “The wages and the cost of living: while the trip.

COUGHING _ Coughing is for the purpose of ex- pelling an irritant from the tracho- bronchial tubes and securing a free air passage. A cough may also be brought on by suggestion, from hearing others cough, or it may be maintained as a habit. Prolonged or severe coughing spells may bring on serious conse- quences, such as hemorrhage of the lungs, heart failure, or stir arrested tubercular regions into activity. Coughing does not always serve its purpose of expelling clogging mat- ter. Sometimes the deep quick inspir- ations following an attack of cough. ing only serve to suck the irritant into the smaller bronchioles, or even into the alveoli of the lungs, or to force air out through the lung tissue and cause emphysema. The blood Pressure is also raised. Whether or not a cough should be subdued is sometimes a prob- lem with a doctor, but the prevailing opinion is that when clogging ma- terial, such as mucous, pus, or blood is present, it is better to allow the cough to proceed, except where there is some danger of hemor- Thage. When the coughing is only caused by a nervous reaction, the best policy seems to stop the cough- ing to conserve the patient’s vital- ity. The act of coughing is by first a least of us will hastily and frantically toddle to follow suit.

They spring from inner urges—the drive of some talent that demands expression. They are given impetus by reading. Accounts of heroism, discovery, in- vention and conquest fire the child in his early years with the desire to achieve something great in his own life. But most often and most con- tinuously children are swayed by the ideals of their parents. Children who are in harmony with their parents unconsciously accept their values and reflect their ambitions. At adolescence when the child is engaged in the struggle of breaking away from his psychological depen- dence on his father and mother there often comes a period of revolt from the parental ideal which until then he has never questioned, It is at this time that hé does silly, rebellious gest to him a certain course is suffi- cient reason for his choosing another. Every child must go through this period if he is to become mature. The way he goes through it, the amount of havoc he creates, depends on the wisdom of his previous train- ing and the tact and insight with which he is handled at the time. One way to keep your child from actions which may cost him too dear- ly is to see to it that during these years he meets plenty of interesting grownups who will serve him one after , another as models or surrogate ideals !in place of the parent ideal which he has so recently rejected. | See that your child meets, on terms | of equality, across the dinner table, or in the family living room, men and women who talk well and who are distinguished and successful in their work, Let him meet men and women whose personalities are so attractive that he finds among them at least jone whom he would emulate. ABSURDLY CORRECT deep inspiration, followed by a strong expiratory effort against the closed glottus. The glottus is then suddenly opened and the air rushes out at a very high speed. At the same time the passage to the nose is closed off so that any substance is expelled into the mouth. The greatest velocity of the air occurs in the larger passages. Coughing is of no value when the air passage is completely closed so that air can- not pass back of the obstruction, Since the act of coughing is con- trolled by a special nerve center in the medulla, it may be brought on by irritation of this center of the nerves UE from it, even without irritation in the bronchi or trachea. For this reason, irrita- tions of the pleura often in- duce coughing as well as irritations of parts supplied by the wan- dering vagus nerve, especially in the throat, ear, esophagus, spleen and iver. Coughing is, of course, a protec- tive measure to prevent foreign ob- jects from entering the lung and for removing clogging mucous. The failure of this reflex to work, as sometimes occurs in very aged or weakened patients, or in advanced tuberculosis, prolonged _ bronchitis and pneumonia, greatly increases the danger. Coughing is sometimes associated with other conditions, such as aneur. ysm, eae of one vocal cord, ol struction of nasopharynx, compres- sion of bronchi, diseases of the ear, puberty, whooping cough, tuber- culosis, disordered stomach, fungoid growths or tumors on or near the bronchi, irritation of the trigeminal or vagus nerves, bronchitis.

Because Hamilton had prevented him from being made president, Burr challenged Hamilton. The latter feeling that by refusing to acknowl- edge the accepted code, of which he strongly ‘\sappzoved, he would lose his influence, accepted. The duel took place at Weehawken, N.
