As somcone said here re- cently, the Bad Lands form an ideal waste for foresta- tion. Eut if these great waste places can not be covered up with a dress of nature's making, there still remains the possibility of planting trees around the home. The bare surroundings of so many ranch and farm houses fairly cry for relief from their hideous bareness, Anyone who induces the Dakota farmer to adprn his premises by shade trees around the house is indeed a benefactor whom future generations will bless. yall, hen a tree w SOCIETY SUFFERS ‘The recent prosecution of a former assistant United States attorney on the charge of receiving stolen secur- ities having a value of more than $100,000, knowing them to have been stolen, and then negotiating for their re- turn for the payment of a reward, illustrates the settled policy of the law to regard the wronz done to society by the theft of the property as the prime consideration, and the injury to the indfvidual in the loss of his prop- erty as secondary. For this reason a person who, knowing an article to have been stolen, though himself wholly innocent of the theft, receives the property from the thief and cither aids in the concealment of the crime or undertakes to negotiate for the return of the property for a reward, is himself guilty of an offense against the law. But it is not a crime for the owner of stolen goods or one representing him to offer a reward for their return and to receive them back from the thief and pay over the reward, though no effort is made to detain the crim- inal or to discover his identity. So here is another instance where the individual and society are in conflict. Usually the individual ignores the rights and best interests of society when this conflict arises, and society, being jealous of the rights of the in- dividual, usually is sympathetic to the extent of condon- ing the technical wrong committed by the person who conceals a crime to regain possession of stolen property. 4 4 ‘A 7 a 4 a INDUSTRY IN VILLAGES Industrial progress in the United States is facing a “new frontier.” Its objective is not, as of old, the great centers of population but the small communities which have been liberated from their primitive handicaps by the ‘widening of electric-powcr distribution and by the auto- | th the drift of population to the big city con- tinues, it is mo longer accompanied by a corresponding concentration of wealth and the productive capacity of * large cities is not increasing in equal measure with that | of smaller communities.

Editorial Comment SMOKING FOR WOMEN TEACHERS (Ann Arbor Daily News) ‘Woman teachers in California public schools will be permitted to smoke cigarettes—in the privacy of their homes. Vierling Kersey, state director of education, has made such a ruling and it is causing a lot of discussion. But it cannot be called unreasonable unless discrimination between masculine and feminine teachers is accepted as logical and fair. It is not going too far to insist that the lives of public school teachers shall be morally clean, but the smoking of cigarettes is not generally looked upon as an act of immorality. If it were immoral for women, it certainly would be immoral for men, and there has been no ques- tion in California concerning the right of male teachers to smoke. Smoking in the classroom is, of course, out of the ques- tion. The influence would be bad, for the reason that it would encourage the children to contract the habit, and nicotine is manifestly not good for boys and girls of ten- der age, regardless of what its effects may be on adults. But in the privacy of the teacher's home—regardiless of the teacher's sex—smoking is a purely personal matter, along with the eating of sweets and the drinking of tea or coffee, and in fact the whole question of diet or that of physical attire. A teacher may be a public servant, but that does not mean that he or she shall be obliged to live in a glass house, with every personal act under the scrutiny of a censor. Teachers are human beings, entitled to a certain amount of private living, with individual preferences re- garding the manner of enjoying life. Smoking may not be physically beneficial to a woman teacher. but so long as it does not interfere with her educational activities it is mostly a matter of her own business. DIVERSIFIED INDUSTRIES (Great Falls Tribune) Much attention has been given in the last few years to the wisdom of diversified agriculture. It has been shown that the chances of profits or prosperity are in- creased with the number of crops or farm resources that are relicd upon. Diversification, however. is as desirable for an entire region as for a single industry. dominantly agricultural, that depends almost wholly on mining, on manufacturing or any other single activity, is certain at one time or another to ~uffer scricus depres- ston. There are “bad” manufaciu y years. “bad” farm years, “bad” years for mining. Bu.‘ is only rarely that conditions are bad in a large number of fields of activity at the same time. The value of diversified activity on a large scale, for an entire section, is shown strikingly in the case of the South. It is easy to recall the day when the South was regarded as one of the most backward regions of the country, commercially, agriculturally and in some other respects. For a long period. up to only a decade or two ago, its principal resource was a single crop, cotton. If ing a saturation point in population and industrial growth.

VITUS DANCE ‘The medicaf word for this disorder is “chorea,” which comes from the Greek and means dancing. It is the name given to disordered, incoordi- nated, spasmodic and involuntary movements. “Chorea Sancti Viti” was the name given in the middle ages to an epidemic of dancing mania which attacked people under the influence of great religidus excitement and led to pilgrimages to the chapel of St. Vitus in the hope of being cured. This disorder occurs most often in early childhood and adolescence, more than three-fourths of the cases devel- oping between the fifth and fifteenth years. It is singular in that it occurs more often among girls, and among the offspring of the poorer classes. The Peak of the cases during the year oc- curs in January. This is undoubtedly due to the fact that many cases are precipitated into a crisis through the toxemia generated from holiday feast- ing. The school child who has been made nervous by overwork at school is a fit subject for chorea and, in fact, for many other disorders when the toxins from injudicious holiday stuffing add their burden to the child's irritated nervous system. The disordered and jerky move- turbed, easily upset, and break into movements are usually noticed first on the face and arms. The face will twist into a series of contorted grimaces, in which the eyes may shut and suddenly shoot open.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Always Could “Eat Everything” Question —H. K. Writes: “I can't digest my food, and I feel nauseated all the time. The doctor said it was my gall bladder and gave me some medicine. I do all right as long as 1 take a dose before eating, but can't take this medicine the rest of my life. T have always been able to eat every- thing. Now when I have a bad spell I can’t eat anything for a few days.” Answer.—It is because you have ‘eaten everything” that you are now not able to eat anything.

Someone has just estimated that women do more than 80 per cent of all the buying done in ‘this nation (or is it the world? Probably not). Day after day one sees the whole com- mercial and industrial world meeting feminine demands. A railroad announces that it is serving the famous 18-day diet.

The legationers were victims of the Boxers, who had started a campaign of extermination to rid China of for- eigners. On June 14, the Boxers as- sailed the foreign legations in Pe- king and during the next two months they blocked the relief of the be- leaguered Occidentals, who gathered in the British compound to defend themselves. The foreigners’ amunition was scanty and their provisions insuffi- cient. Sixty of them were killed and 120 wounded by the attackers. Many children became sick and the be- sieged men and women were forced to live on half rations of horse flesh. For weeks, United States govern- ment officials were unable to com- municate with their representatives in the legation and the world had begun to believe the Boxers had cap- tured the legation and slaughtered all the foreigners, before the relief expedition arrived in Peking. | Tanne en | Our Yesterdays | 2 cpa FORTY YEARS AGO Mrs. W.
