Visitors, if they are well bred, are always polite. Accordingly, the party of European editors that re- cently concluded a tour of the United States had nothing but good things to say about the country. They said they were amazed by our prosperity, deep- ly impressed by our clean, orderly cities, awed by the grandeur of our scenery, enthralled by the sturdy pa- triotism of our citizenry and delighted by our general industry and activit; It was all very ni The editors seem to have becn given cordial receptions everywhere they went, and no doubt they enjoyed themselves very much. But listening to people say nice things about us is by way of being our national weaknecs. ‘We are so addicted to it that if no visitors are handy to say such things we will say them ourselves. All of that is perfectly natural. It does, however, tend to make us more optimistic than we always ought to be. There are times when it blinds us to things that need correcting. then, is an excellent tonic. Suppose that a party of distinguished forcigners, after touring America, should say something like this: “Your prosperity is impressive but uneven. A dose of bad-mannered criticism, now and It pro- vides high wages, but is a bit ruthless about throwing ‘men out of jobs, and it is working a real hardship on the elderly or middle-aged worker. “Your cities are sometimes beautiful, but nearly all of them have vast slums that are pretty terrible. And why do you let filling stations, barbecue joints and hot dog stands litter up all of your nicest roads? “Conditions in some of your soft coal ficlds are quite as bad as.anything in Europe. Your agricultural regions seem to be sunk in depression, and some of your textile towns are a disgrace to your country. “Most of your politicians and officeholders seem very mediocre men (to say the least). and no European city has a fifth as many criminals as your big cities harbor. Your police are sadly inefficient, a lot of them are just Plain crooks and your criminal courts are the most anti- quated contrivances we have ever seen. “The worst thing of all is that you are so satisfied with yourselves that you don't try to improve these conditions much.” A little outburst like that would probably be in bad taste; but it probably would be good for us. To be sure, if taken by itself it would give a false pic- ture of the real state of affairs. Yet we are so eager to see our own good points that ‘we sometimes forget that there are things that need im- Proving.

It is curious to note that these anxieties are typical not of maturity but of verdant and fervent youth. The un- easy conscience of the world is a mark of its own youth- fulness. If the books of the day are so many signs and symptoms, then it appears that civilization is indeed scarce grown to manhood and must yct have a lot of nonsense knocked out of it. i B : s EY & a 24 = 3 ef 5 | - 3 5 $ E GERMANY ON THE HIGH SEAS The great new ocean liner Bremen did more than pro- vide newspaper readers with some interesting stories when it broke all speed records for the Atlantic crossing { the other day; it served notice on the shipping world that the German mercantile fleet is once more a force to be | reckoned with on the ocean. Before the war the German shipbuilders were chal- | lenging British shippers in an amaging manner. They were building cargo-carriers that were cutting in on the | long-distance hauls, and they were building palatial lin- | crs to rival the best that Britain could furnish for the | transatlantic trade. The war ended all of that, of course. Now, however, Germany proves tat she has come back. The Bremen is & worthy rival of any ship afloat. The established Brit- ish lines, as well as the youthful but thriving American lines, may as well recognize that they have a most worthy competitor. THE SAFE MARGIN The enemies of democracy criticize and challenge it for its faith in majorities. It is charged that by ma- jority rule injustice is imposed on those who lack num- Calmer judgment recognizes that majority rule makes no claim to measure truth by the tabulation of totals nor to grant power as of right to the force of numbers. A majority is no more than a demonstration of a mar- gin of opinion, conviction and directional effort in na- tional life. It reveals a definite national character and a measurable pressure of progress arising out of the vitality of the country. There is safety in the margin revealed by majorities. There is no safety in the average, for it is at the mercy of doubt and indecision. It is vulnerable on all sides and has no reserve strength to meet unexpected shocks and challenges. We cannot stand always at a cross- road; we must choose a highway for better or ill and tread it with confidence. Just as a man weighs all things and at last gocs forward in the path of greatest promise, so the nation must accept the guidance written in the thin margins of majoritics, There ts no other formula which can keep the na- tional conduct faithful to the national character. VALUE OF AFFECTIONS “Alienation of affections’—this legal action seems To be storming along to pronounced popularity with husbands who have lost out. Suits for damages running into hun- reds of thousands of dollars are almost daily instituted. Which prompts the query: If the injured parties value a wife's affections too highly, how is it that they lose them so frequently? For presumably the plaintiffs once Possessed them, and if they have lost them, many of them have themselves to blame. The high estimation of damages that plaintiffs place on the lost affections of their wives suggests that a little more care, a trifle more attention, a bit more considera- tion, a little more of the lover in marital conduct might have made alienation more difficult, if not impossible, All the world loves a lover, except that chap in street, who wakes the neighborhood at 11:55 p. m. every other night tuning up a balky motor.

Many a man would feel embarrassed to meet his STRESSING BURBANKISM Burbankism in agriculture—that is research for better- ing crop production—is one of the big items of the Hoover administration's farm program, along with the attempt to solve the problem of farm relief through the recently en- acted farm board. Arthur M. Hyde, secretary of agriculture, sets this forth in a recent article in the Country Gentleman. According to the secretary science still holds many secrets to be fathomed for the farmer. He cannot conduct his own Tesearch because of the expense involved. Yet research is @ prerequisite to the improvement of agriculture. By means of it more adaptable secd may be discovered to deal with such problems as climate and drouth and the destructiveness of insect pests may be reduced to a min- imum. Agriculture, divided into more than 6,000,000 farm units, is obviously unable, through its own resources, to estab- lish and maintain institutions able to pursue elaborate technical studies, the secretary says, and therefore, the benefits to be gained from the proposed study will be nation-wide in scope. Individual farm experimentation is one of the heaviest charges on agriculture today, according to the secre- tary, and this charge is in a large measure passed on to the consumer. Governmental agencies adequately fi- nanced to study farm problems could bring better re- sults at a small per cent of the cost, he declares. “Maintaining a central research program for agricul- ture would constitute a sound investment,” says the secre- tary. “Dominance in world markets can be achieved or maintained only by such efficiency as will enable us to Produce for the world market at a profit, yet at a price which tends to shrivel rather than encourage competi- tion from other quarters of the globe.

Editorial Comment WILHELM STAYS IN HOLLAND (Minneapolis Journal) The former kaiser's period of enforced exile having legally come to an end, Wilhelm von Hohenzollern an- nounces that he will not return to Germany until and unless sent for. If he sticks to this resolve, then the Odds are good that Wilhelm will never go back. For the Germans are an intelligent and patriotic people, and it is scarcely conceivable that a majority of them will ever voluntarily submit their government again to the whims of a dynasty that once led Germania into Gethsemane. Because Wilhelm and his sons, and the Junkers who formerly lorded it over a hard working populace, wished to rattle sabers; because these playboys of Prussia craved the light that shines on gleaming armor, and dreamed that they were supermen, divinely endowed with superpowers, Germany today carries the repara- tions cross. t The question of war guilt will always be a moot one. That the Teutons were solely responsible for the catas- trophe of 1914 is something which unbiased students of world history no longer believe. But that an earlier word from Potsdam to Vienna could have averted the crisis is probabie. So also is it probable that the Franco-Russian plotting, to which the former kaiser's defenders love to point, had its genesis in the need for a defense against the Junker chauvinism of Wilhelm's court. And Germany doubtless could have had a negotiated peace, even as late as the early months of 1918, had not the kaiser’s government been thinking more of dynastic glory than of the fate of the misled German people, fed continually on rosy tales of certain early triumy times when those in power knew that the odds eventual German victory were daily growing 1 The German restored a Hohenzollern dynasty at any time in the last decade, law or no law. FLIGHT THEORY IS SIMPLE AU i Ghe DAY... The mother of a 9-year-old boy was hailed before a Los Angeles judge the other day to answer the charge of violating the school attendance law. She frankly admitted that she had refused to send her child to the pub- le schools, explaining that she fav- ored her own system of educatt The judge assailed her “system.” He charged that she had created a “su- per ego” in the boy; that she was de- luding the boy with a sense of his own superiority, and that he would have a rude awakening when he had to leave her and face the world. ‘Tested in open court, however, the boy was found to have a surprising general knowledge, quite beyond that of the average 9-year-old. The mother was given a suspended sentence of five days in jail and was put on a year's probation provided that she would send her child to school. This system of home versus public or private education confronts many an intelligent and educated parent. * * OK THERE ARE DRAWBACKS ‘The more capable parents are of | educating their children, the more clearly they may see the drawbacks of o the general school system; the more keenly they may desire to make their child benefit by. their own cultural opportunities. No one can deny that many a wom- ar. is eminently more qualified to really teach her child than is the teacher to whom she sends the child. Educating a child is not-such fun that the average parent is going to beg to undertake it. Many parents believe that they pay taxes for schools in order to keep their progeny out from under foot. And yet to say that any parent who desires to home educate his or her child proves by that very wish that he or she is capable of it, is Probably a far-fetched statement. child from school, is not the first par- ent who has attempted it. Not long ago a national woman's magazine told the story of another woman who successfully defied the authorities over a long period of time. She related her child's achievements, The Hare and which quite put in the shade the larnin’ of public school trained chil- dren of her age. Nor did this mother seem to make the mistake of believing that a mere accumulation of knowledge was edu- cation. She told the methods by which she taught her child to be resourceful, ingenious, creative, log- ical, completely mentally sharpened. x ok Ok IS THERE ALTERNATIVE? And yet, granting that some moth- ers are infinitely more capable of educating their children than are the teachers to whom the law compels them to send them, what are we go- ing to do about it? Who is going to decide who is qual- ified to teach children at home and who is not? That is the whole point of the discrimination is un-American; that all children must go through the same hopper. It is a simple question of whether isolated home education, even by the most capable of parents, is as good for the child as outside the home training with its inevitable rubbing of elbows with each and all. After all, no child grows up to live in @ world alone. It would almost his fellow human beings is infinitely more important to him than being taught in isolation by even the most competent teacher-parent.

As soon as the child learns that he can get a rise out of his elders by this simple devise he finds plenty of oc- casions when its use will give him satisfaction. If it is attention he craves, he here discovers an easy way to get it. If he wishes to get even for some frustra- tions he has suffered, he finds a ready weapon with which to make his elders dance to his tune. Don't let him get away with it. If your child refuses to eat, make sure he is not sick, and then, with entire nonchalance, excuse him from the table. ‘Whoever wrote that line about “car- riages without horses shall go and ac- cidents fill the world with woe,” ought to have a bust in the Hall of e.

The face has a pale, peaked expression, and the skin is cold and damp. Af- ter the stone reaches the bladder, the pain abates, but the bladder may re- main irritated. Severe symptoms also occur as the stone or gravel passes out of the bladder, but the symptoms are more localized and not as severe as in the kidney duct passage. Deep hot sitz baths give the great- est relief in either of these disorders. It is better to use distilled water for drinking and cooking for some time after an attack. Large quantities should be used for flushing the kid- neys. A urinalysis should be made to determine whether the concretions are caused by an excess of acidity or alkalinity, and this should be cor- rected dietetically. A catarrhal inflammation of the bladder, termed cystitis, is one of its most frequent affections. There is some pain in the thighs, back, groins and bladder. The bladder has a feel- ing of constantly requiring emptying. The passage is painful and difficult. Hot sitz baths are also helpful in this bladder inflammation, especially during the acute attacks. When the inflammation is of long standing, cold | sitz baths are sometimes more helpful and bladder irritations may be neces- sary. My “Curative Diet” course is the best regime to follow. If you have not already receivéd this, I will be glad to send it to you upon receipt of a large self-addressed stamped en- velope. The amount of urine voided with- in twenty-four hours depends very much upon the amount of liquids used in food and drink. Its quantity will sometimes be lessened if one per- spires frecly. Normally, it is of a light color. Excessive paleness may result from drinking a large amount of water, using strong tea, and from such diseases as diabetes, hysteria and anemia. A dark reddish color or cloudy color may indicate worry or mental strain; the use of certain drugs such as anadine and rhubarb root; not drinking enough water; large uric acid excretions; or hem- orrhage of the bladder. Bile salts give a greenish tinge, and a bluish tint sometimes occurs in typhoid fever or cholera. Sometimes foods and medicines are particularly irritating to the blad- der and kidneys. This is true of onions, garlic, turpentine, winter- green and wrong food combinations. A pressure of other abdominal or- gans on the bladder is a cause of {bladder weakness not often recog- nized. A loaded stomach in cases of abdominal ptosis may actually slip out of its normal position and lie upon the bladder. or infections of the circular muscle eZ S SSS ALABAMA SAILS FOR U. 8. On July 29, 1862, the labama,” the second cruiser built in England for the confederates, sailed from Liv- erpool, despite protests by United States representatives. The cruiser was of 900 tons burden, 230 feet in length, 32 feet in breadth, 20 feet in depth, and drew, when pro- visioned and coaled for cruise, 15 feet of water. The ship was built and launched at Liverpool and immediately became an object of suspicion with the consul of the United States at that port. He finally succeeded in obtaining proof of the violation of the foreign enlistment act, but before the British authorities took action, the cruiser had sailed away. The “Alabama,” equipped with a 300 horse power engine, large fore and aft sails and carrying eight guns proceeded to the Azores, where she took on additional supplies and men. She then made a flying trip to the United States and cruising up and down the Atlantic seaboard sank a number of federal gunboats. The “Alabama” was finally sunk by the federal steamer, “Kearsage,” a short distance off the coast of France in June, 1864. “A vivid imagination gives one creative ability yet it is the mother of a thousand fears.”"—Dr. Kirk B.

When- ever you notice a discomfort in this region, I would advise you to have @ careful chemical and microscopic urinalysis made. If this. does not disclose the trouble, it will be neces- sary to have an examination of the interior of the bladder to determine whether or not growths are present. It is always wise to cure these troubles in their early stages before they be- come more developed. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Pain at End of Spine Question—Mrs. H. L. writes: “Please tell me the cause of severe pain at the lower end of the spinal column. When sitting or lying down, it is the most painful. What would you rec- ommend as a remedy? I suffer from piles and constipation.” Answer—First, get rid of your con- stipation, then your rectal trouble will quickly disappear, and perhaps the pain in the lower spine, as such pain is often caused from constipation and the distension of the rectum because of the packing up of fecal matter. Brussels Sprouts Question—A. G. H. asks: “Are brussels sprouts a healthful vege- table?” Answer—Brussels sprouts are a variety of cabbage and may be used as a salad vegetable by certain peo- ple. Being of the cabbage family, they contain a considerable amount of allyl sulfid (a gas-forming element) but if used sparingly, in combination with other vegetables, those with strong digestion will be able to handle them without producing any flatu- lence. Peculiar Odor from Body Question—Mrs. D. H. writes: “I have @ peculiar odor from my body, some- times musty, then again it seems of & pungent, heavy, disagreeable odor. I bathe daily and change my clothes, yet this scent even clings to my outer garments. Am 56, diabetic, (able to control by diet) and have never taken insulin. Have been wondering, since reading your article on ‘Pye- litis’ if it could be that. Very much interested in your column.” Answer—Of course I cannot diag- nose your case through this column, but I assume that the odor you tell me about is caused by the diabetic diathesis.
