CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON (Official City, State and County NOT LIVING LONGER Henry Ford's intention to live to the age of 100 years ‘will have to take account of some myths about longevity, according to a significant warning concerning the health of the race recently given out by Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of the Journal of the American Medical Associa- tion, therefore one of the ablest medical authorities of the country. Living longer is not being practiced as generally as the public impression has it being done. What actual advance in prolonging life is being made is misinterpreted. It is not at the end from which Mr. Ford would start on his century record. Dr. Fishbein pointed out that while medical science had made many important discoveries which have tended to make the nation healthier, statistics show that people are not living longer. In recent years, some of the fore- most medical authorities have predicted that advance- ments in medicine will make it possible to increase greatly the average longevity. But so far, there is little evidence of these predictions coming true. Tt is true that real strides have been made in com- bating infant mortality, says Dr. Fishbein. Because of improved health standards and wider dissemination of knowledge concerning the care of children, their chances of living through infancy have been greatly increased. Also more lives of middle-aged persons are saved, due to remarkable operations and more skilled physicians. But the story is different when old age comes, Dr. Fishbein points out. The human body is a wonderful Mechanism, but it wears out, and unlike our modern machines, parts of it cannot be renewed. We live at a fast pace, and it is this fact that prevents the longevity tables from showing an increase compar- able with the advancements in medical science. Too few of us slow down before the physician can really help us. Possibly this is due to the fact that we are placing too much reliance on medical science. We have heard of its wonderful progress and instead of watching our health carefully throughout life, possibly some of us are too inclined to let things take their course in the belief that any ill can be cured,in this wonderful age. Too few of us have regular physical examinations and too few heed the warning signals of nature. We try to keep up the pace of youth. We do not guard our health at the very time when our strength must be conserved. We worry too much. We do not give medical science a chance to accomplish its won- ders, and we forget that while it can do much it cannot work miracles, In some of the more isolated sections of the country where the fast pace of modern civilization has not yet spread. people are living to remarkable ages. Although mortality rates among Indian children are high, many Indians are living beyond the age of 80 years. These facts seem to add weight to Dr. Fishbcin’s conclusion that. we are living too fast or worrying too much or working too hard and are not watching our health as we should. His warning is “Slow Up!” We all know he is right, but more of the American people should heed his advice. BIG LINERS UPSET “PARITY” Certain American naval officials and congressmen are worrted, according to a recent dispatch from Washington, because the appearance of fast new ocean liners like the Bremen will upset that naval “parity” for which this country has been striving so hard. The reason lies in the fact that the modern passenger liner is admirably adapted for conversion into a cruiser. ‘The speed of a ship like the Bremen is nearly as great as that of any cruiser afloat. Her cargo holds and ex- tensive double bottoms would enable her to carry cnough fuel to last for many weeks. Her construction is so solid that she could easily mount a number of six-inch guns, and she is equipped for carrying and launching air- planes. Ships of this type, say the naval experts, would be as valuable in wartime as the 10,000-ton cruisers. But the United States has none of them, while nations overscas, already possessing quite a few, are about to follow Ger- many’s lead and build more. ‘There is no question that the liner makes a good com- merce raider. The exploits of some of the German liners in the World war are still fresh in public memory. Yet this outcry from Washington, coming just as President Hoover and Premier MacDonald have suc ceeded in putting Anglo-American relations on a friendly basis, is rather dismal stuff. The whole Hoover-MacDonald program depends basic- ally on the mental attitudes of the people of the two countries. It is not just a matter of canceling certain shipbuilding contracts and scrapping a few cruisers. If it is to succeed, the American and the English must make up their minds that they are not going to go to war with each other, ever. They must resolve that they are to be friends from this time on. If they do not, there is no sense whatever in reducing armaments or trying to make the two fleets equal. | and in all affairs. $7.20 | This country has had congressional committees ad nauseum ad infinitum. The war produced committees of all descriptions and the movement to end war has produced as many more. Committees run the federal, state and municipal governments. Every zealot with a pet “cause” organizes a committee. One must seach far and long for that which has not yet been made the work of a committee. Of late there have made their appearance self-appointed committees for the sciection of the best books for the best people to read. That peculiar twist in human nature which is the ruitful seed of the committee is also responsible for the sociation,” another pestilence of modernity. Associa- fons are fewer in number than committees only because every association is the father of another clan of com- mittees. If there is anything for or against which no association has yet been formed it is due to an oversight. Associations and committees have it within their power to be inspirational, but not all are. Many are merely on paper and devote their time and effort to raising money and spending it. They work principally through high-sounding proclamations, propaganda and statistics that serve their purpose. And they furnish em- ployment to thousands lacking the energy and ability for useful occupations. HASTILY LOCATED AIRFIELDS An acronautical engineer declares that 300 new air- Ports are projected in various sections of the United States. Not only cities but many towns and villages are building flying fields. Some are in too great a hurry, others too laggard. If commercial flying develops to any marked extent, the country will need a great many more than 300 new air fields. But the chances are that a considerable num- ber of these first built will be badly located or other- wise unavailable for profitable use. They should not be located and built blindly. Bismarck is a logical site. The building of an airport is so noble an opportunity for the booster and the politician that it is certain not to be overlooked, and airports built for reasons con- nected with boostcrism or politics rather than to supply a genuine need will never be anything but white elephants on the hands of the committee that build them. Flying fields should be built and must be built if this country is to go in for commercial aviation on a large scale. But it is improvidence rather than providence to spend public money in establishing them at points which are far removed from logical air routes. In the Period of railroad construction the rails preceded the stations, and it seems wise policy to delay laying out flying fields until the air routes are mapped out, at least. There is no real need for airports in the center of cities, The fact that commercial flying is only profitable between large centers of population and over long dis- tances leaves many small communities out of the run- ning as “stops” on future air routes. “IMPERIALISM” During a discussion at the University of Virginia In- stitute of Public Affairs the charge was made that sin- ister motives are actuating American loans to Latin- American countries. This is not a new charge and it apparently reflects a popular point of view. Sinister motives have played their part in the Pan- American relations, but to assume that sinister motives are behind all American loans to South and Central American republics is to overlook the real reason for the lending. North America lends to Latin-America that the people of the latter may buy the manufactures of the United States and develop the natural resources which provide us with raw materials and increase Latin-American de- mand for our manufactured goods. If this motive is sin- ister, then all trade and all money-making are sinister. That much talked of “American imperialism” is a reaching out for trade, not for land and power. Such imperialism has been practiced in turn by Phoenicia, by Greece, by Rome, by Spain, by France and by England. And it is a form of imperialism which the borrowers must admit is most benevolent to them. Editorial Comment A ROADSIDE PERIL (Duluth Herald) The long war against billboards lately has taken a new and what may prove effective method of attack. Thomas H. MacDonald, chief of the United States bureau of Public roads, is urging congress to forbid billboards on all highways built with the aid of Federal funds. His recommendation isn't clothed in the perfunctory language so many public officials use, cither. He speaks from the shoulder and emphatically declares that not only in certain places are billboards @ national disgrace but by attracting the attention of drivers they often become a menace to safety. He adds: To come upon these blatant commercial appeals on the face of a majestic cliff, marring a mountain side or completely obscuring a beautiful vista, awakens a sense of their utter incongruity. In prac- tically all cases these roadside advertisements merely repeat in the same form appeals that are made quite properly and insistently through other agencies. They are unneeded by the public and of doubtful value to the advertisers. Their disfigurement of the land- scape is a national disgrace. Mr. MacDonald's opinion will have wide approval, but his recommendation is not broad enough. If billboards are a menace to safety on Federal roads they also im- peril users of all roads. The prohibition should be ex- tended to all roads built with public funds. has gone that far on state roads and other national, state and local authorities can do likewise. VICTOR L. BERGER (Minneapolis Tribune) There is no enemy of Victor L. Berger—and. the man colors, who never failed to.have the courage of his con- Now a state of mind like that cannot be attained in the presence of a constant suspicion. If our super- patriots are going to look for possible danger in every merchant ship that flies the British flag, and emit cries of jealousy every time a liner comes over from Europe in five days or less, there is not going to be much use in the magnificent efforts of Mr. Hoover and Mr. Mac- ter, simply by taking it for granted that they are not victions, and who clung to his ideals, such as they were, with a tenacity and a defiance which sometimes com- pelled reluctant admiration. To Mr. Berger's credit he was not, as were many of his Wisconsin colleagues, the thief of party labels. He was neither pseudo-this or pseudo-that, but an out-and-out Socialist who the sul of the political opportunist. But from that there is little to be said for the Berger record.

In the first place, it was women who hammered at the courtroom door demanding seats, driving perspiring baliffs wild as they fought to get by him.

It is true of adults and it is true of children. No one who is worth his salt has not at some time or another broken a rule. Who has not boasted of having gotten away with something in the face of authority? But no one boasts of having broken an agree- ment, for to do so is to violate a uni- versal code of honor. The thought is one to hold in mind when you are dealing with a child. Say to him “you must,” “you ought,” “you will,” and you fight against the vital current of his self assertion. But get him to agree with you that this or that is just or fair, let him bind himself to act in accordance with a decision commonly arrived at, and he is sure to make good. He | will make good, not under the threat of punishment and the thought of your displeasure, but under the bright eye of his own conscience. If you can get your child to agree to the regulations under which you deem it wise for him to live, you have won his better self to the side of good behavior and nine times out of 10 his better self will win with- out help from you. If, having made an agreement with you to come home at a certain hour, he fails to keep it, you can always appeal to his sense of fair play. Children who are deaf to commands, who are callous in dis- obedience, will respond to the idea of “playing fair.” The next time you are tempted to make a rule, don’t do it; enter into an agreement instead. But be sure that you play fair yourself. Be sure that the agreement is a real one and not merely a sugar-coated com- mand, CARRINGTON PIONEER DEAD Carrington, N.

Me EB HULL SURRENDERS On August 16, 1812, American Gen- eral William Hull, defending Detroit, surrendered to British General Isaac Brock without a gun having been ‘ired. Brock's forces, according to his own testimony, numbered 1,330 men, in- cluding 600 Indians, and he also had two ships of war. Hull had for duty 1000 men. When Brock’s army approached, Hull offered to surrender.
