CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON History or Mystery by Coolidge | Calvin Coolidge is going to have a hand in a little vg of modern archaeological anticipation for perhaps a mat-/ ter of a half million years hence, by writing a brief sketch | of the history of America to be carved on the rocky face f Mount Rushmore in the Black Hills. At the end of/ that time, or perhaps a bit earlier, if there be anybody left in the world to read it, something of the glory of the New World will have been transmitted to the gen- erations of men then peopling the world. But will it en- @ure all that time? Perhaps the former president's pen 4s giving the future world one of its big mysteries. Barring some world cataclysm, the carving should stand. The 500-word chiseling, it has been estimated. will last at least 5000 centuries, so the Mount Rush- more Memorial association, which is having the figures of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Roosevelt carved on the same granite, is hopeful that it is providing the world with a virtually imperishable record of America’s history, provided English doesn't become an unknown Janguage by that time. Erosion of the face of the mountain is proceeding at ‘the rate of one inch every 100,000 years. Mr. Coolidge’s 4nscription, carved in giant letters, has a long life ahead of it. It takes a strong faith in the permanence of human institutions to undertake a work of that kind. This his- tory of the United States will be legible for half a mil- lion years; but will there be anyone, by the end of that time, who cares a fig about it or knows how to read it? ‘Will it be anything more than a curiosity like the inscrip- tions in the forgotten temples of Central America? Before those 5000 centuries are over a new glacial age ‘May come crawling down from the North pole to wipe the slate clean and give what is left of the human race @ chanc? to start all over again. Indeed, long before that stupendous stretch of time is over mankind may hhave descended to the jungle, risen from it and descended | to it again, haif a dozen times over; and the 500 words | of twentieth century script on the face of Mount Rush- | more may be one of, the world's minor, forgotten | One i; reminded of Mark Twain's gloomy meditations. ‘Two thousand years from now, he said, such a werld-) famous figure as U. S. Grant would probatty get, in the encyclopedias, some such paragraph as this: “Graunt, Uriah S.: minor poet of the Aztec provinces | of British North America, who flourished about 1300 A. D.—some 300 years before the Trojan war. He wrote— ‘Home, Sweet Home.’” All of this, to be sure, is taking a roundabout way to/ say what everyone knows—that time has a way of bury- ing everything that men make under a heap of dead years, and that the greatest treasures of this earth are sure to be corrupted if they are left around long enough. Yet that isn’t a bad idea for us to ponder over a bit, even if it is an old story. We live rather too intenscly in the present. The things that we put together of steel and stone and concrete overshadow all our lives. hey look more permanent than they are, and hence we think them more important than they are. It is good for us to remind ourselves that none of them will last | #0 very long. By the time Mr. Coolidge’s 500-word history has lived | fits life out there may not be one person on earth who| ever heard of the United States of America. If, in our @enturies of national existence, we manage to bring ints the world a little addition to the spirit of kindness and brotherhood, some new eagerness for grasping at the beauty beyond the stars—those things, in one way or ‘another, will endure, coloring the life of every man on the planet. But nothing else will remain. | Tide Is Back to Heroes in History ‘The heyday of the debunker in American literature Beems to be passing, For several years no book made such a hit as the book Bhat tried to explode a myth or tear down a reputation. (And since this nation had a vast number of inflated Seputations and an even greater number of myths that passed for sober history, this was all to the good. The @lebunker was needed, and he did a good job. But now and then he overdid it. Too often the de- bunker came dangerously near being a mud-slinger. He told us thet Washington distilled rum and that Lin- foln was a scheming politician. He branded the Revolu- fionary fathers as'selfish and uncouth connivers and saw gill American history as a miserable epic in greed, gowardice and chicanery. Probably this was good for us, even so. But the in- feresting thing now is the fact that our most cherished heroes and our most cherished traditions, stripped of the funk that the school books plastered on to them, are @uite as noble, quite as admirable, as before. admiration for the Americans who won their indepen- dence, amazed at their valor and endurance, proud of their determination and integrity. All of which indicates that the debunker, when he js @ competent historian, does not rob us of anything we need. Our great traditions are built on good founadtions. - Two Deserving Organizations ‘The nursing activities of the Red Cross and the North Dakota Tuberculosis associatian in Burleigh county make ole |quite a story of welfare work as quietly performed as it 20 | was nobly done. Now and then the public gets a glimpse of what is being achieved, as when, at the annual meet- ings, reports are presented to the members who are the backgrounds of the two organizations. The Tuberculosis association operated on a part-time basis last year while its nurse, Miss Gaither, was away from the county due to illness in her home, yet a large | field was covered in the public schools of the county. The work has again been interrupted by financial con- ditions and the association is waiting to sce what the returns from its seal sales are going to be before resum- ing this activity. : According to the report of the nurse, 5,100 children were examined; 2,053 showed defective noses or throats; 2,047 showed defective permanent teeth; 1,356- had en- larged glands; 1,223 showed defective eyes; 1,289 were 7 to 12 per cent underweight; 182 had enlarged thyroid glands; 128 were anemic; 34 showed orthopedic defects; | 2,617 notices were sent to parents; 14 doctors and dentists were consulted in regard to children’s needs; 6 children | Were sent to the preventorium at San Haven. The Red Cross has been not a wit less active in deserving work in the same type of welfare. From the report of Mrs. Frank Brown, its school nurse, one learns tha& nurse made inspection of 1,530 children of the schools for defects; 828 had defects and of these there were 257 corrections; inspections of buildings and grounds numbered 91; class room talks, 121; cases of defective teeth, 425; throay trouble, 322; defective vision, 170; underweight cases, 145, or 10 per cent. The Red Cross follows up these cases with corrective work unless parents themselves attend to that. The chapter sponsored 16 such cases in dental defects; provided seven tonsillectomies; gave general care to two cases; sent seven crippled children to orthopedic centers; arranged for hopitalization. The Red Cross is working with all other agencies in aid of crippled children, as the Shrine and the Elks. Each year its helpfulness is extended. It is a fine sense of cooperation which the community shows in its reaction to the work of these two splendid organizations, There is here a field for continued sup- port of these operations. Both have goals they have not been able to achieve fully. Especially the Tuberculosis association in its expansion of the sunshine camp at Lake Isabel. As their work becomes more fully under- stood and appreciated it may be that their hopes will meet with reward in financial support sufficient to real- ize their visions of adequate efficiency. Cutting the Pilot’s Pay | Two of the leading eastern air transport companies have announced reductions in the salaries they are pay- ing their pilots; and somehow that bit of news doesn’t | go down very easily. | For quite a while the leaders of the aviation industry have been telling us of the vast development that is tak- ing place in the air. They have been talking about the | great demand for pilots, about the need for more train- ing schools, about the responsibility that rests on the shoulders of the individual flyer. And now they are cutting the flyer’s salary checks! After all, it is the pilot who makes the air transport line Possible. If anyone deserves the lion’s share of the profits it is he. A reduction in his pay is a queer sequel to all the trumpeting that aviation’s leaders have been indulging in of late. Think of making men like Lindbergh cheap! | Editorial Comment | Radio Profit and Loss (Philadelphia Bulletin) Linked with the ability of radio broadcasters to bear the cost of Federal supervision of their activities is the financial result of station operation. The Federal radio commission, which has proposed a license system cal- culated to yield over $800,000 a year for administrative purposes, now reports upon the profits of the industry. From a hasty reading of its analysis one might conclude that on the whole there aren't any. Of 340 average broadcasting stations from whose opera- | tors information was sought 172 reported losses and 168 realized profits over a one-year period. All of the five 50,000-watt stations reported losses. Eighty stations lost more than $10,000 each, and fifty-three earned more than that sum. But when losses are discussed the money results of operation alone are considered, A very large number of broadcasters do not operate for direct fi- nancial return, and many others look for cash revenue only incidentally to other reasons for operation. Promo- tion—good will—advertising—these are motives, It might be quite misleading to assume that radio broadcasting tions maintained for such purposes are losers be- thei: books do not show cash gains. -S to the very high-powered stations, they are in a very youthful and comparatively undeveloped business and more’ time will be required to demonstrate their money-making possibilities. There is nothing in the sur- +7 of the radio commission to suggest that broadcaster: are unable to bear the costs of protecting their interests now carried by the government. Radio hasn't grown up, but it is old enough now to pay its own way. i More Trouble in Dixie (New York Times) The signs multiply that 1930 will be a critical year for Southern Democracy. Following the restoration of Virginia to the traditional party, after the anti-Smith victory of 1998, Alabama Democrats have barred Senator Heflin from participating in their primary next year be- cause of his failure to support the national candidate of 1928. And now the news comes that Senator Simmons, dean of the upper house at Ws » is to have unified opposition in North Carolina’s primaries next June. Usually the presence of a number of candidates in the field against an incumbent makes his renomina- tion probable. But our Watch Tower correspondent records the interesting fact that three leading aspirants have agreed that only one of them shall undertake to unseat the senator who, after aiding in the defeat of the All of this is brought to mind by reading “The War of Independence,” by Claude H.

It proves, for instance, that George III was of all of this, Professor Van Tyne's the Revolutionary epoch American can look with Democratic national tickct last year, led the tariff battle of his party this year.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER X UDITH put one hand to her head. “But it’s nothing,” she insisted, smiling shakily. “Just dizziness, I guess, from the car. Hard to realize I’m on land again.” Arthur regarded her anxiously. “Sure you feel better?” “Of course. I'm all right now.” They went up the walk to the house, A woman in gray morning dress stood waiting in the doorway. “Mra, Wheeler, the housekeeper,” Knight explained. “Been here for years.” As they came up the steps Knight spoke heartily: “Good morning, Wheeler. Fine to be home again! Judith, this is Mrs. Wheeler, who can tell you everything there is to know about the house, Mrs. Wheeler, Mrs. Knight.” Judith took thea housekeeper's hand and smiled. She saw a larze middle-aged woman with an air of capability, Mrs. Wheeler was florid-faced and wore glasses. Her dark hair was piled irto » ncat knob at the top of her head. She seemed aggressively alert. “Good morning, Mrs. Knight,” the woman said. “I hope you had ® good voyage, Ma’am?” “Oh, yes, a fine voyage, thunk Jou.” They had stepped into a broad hallway which seemed to be the center of the house. A winding Mrs. stairway arose in the Lackground.

Morning sunlight came streaming through the ornate cur- tains, Heavy over-stuffed furniture and several chairs of mahogany itood about. There were innumer- ible footstools, small tables and occasional pieces. Two Chinese rugs covered the ‘floor, very good ones, Nothing was radically wrong with the room, Judith told herself. Everything in it was in good taste. The whole simply failed to fit to- gether. Its atmosphere (if there could-be said to be a trace of such & quality) was stolid, unintelligent wealth. “When would you like luncheon, Ma'am?” the housekeeper con- tinued. Knight had drawn a cigar from a humidor and was lighting it, “Have it any time you want, dear,” he told Judith. “You won't mind if I don’t wait, do you? Thought I'd like to run in and get’ hold of R. G. (R. G. Hunter) before he gets off to the club. I'll be back! quite early but I'd rather not take time for lunch, Sure you don’t mind?” . “Not in the least!” Judith as- sured him, smiling. What else could she say to a husband so eager to be off? “You can serve me in about an hour and a half,” she told Mrs. Wheeler. “I'm going to want to rest a bit.” ‘ “Would you like to go upstairs now, Ma'am?” “Why—Iy-” Judith hesitated. “Yes, I suppose I would. You're years ago and dismissed after the house was closed. Mrs. Wheeler felt that she had been extremely fortunate in obtaining Cora’s ser- vices again. Bert, the chauffeur, also took care of the walks and lawn and did the odd jobs that meeded a man’s hands. “And here's your room, Ma’am.” The housekeeper drew back the door and Judith entered a bedroom. It was mgt the largest of the six. It had three windows and an air of freshness and sunlight, The furni- ture was old-fashioned walnut and the girl loved it instantly, A quaint, sedate charm pervaded the room which had a doorway leading into another chamber. “Mr. Knight's,” the housekeeper volunteered demurely. Judith looked into the room be- yond, It-was much like all the others which she had seen. “I think it’s beautiful,” said Ju- dith. ‘The triumph of the big house The room was very girlish—that is, it was exactly what the taste of @ li-yearold school girl would be Ukely to dictate if she had been told to instruct a decorator Boing to leave right away, aren’t/how to furnish a bedroom, sparing you, Arthur?” servants, expense, “Her father gave it to Miss Tony her last’ birthday,” the older wo- explained.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (See an Optometrist) Question: R. ©. asks: “What causes puffiness under the eyes? I am only 19 years old, and get an average of 9% hours sleep every night, so I do not think lack of sleep could be the cause. The upper part of my eyelids also appear to bag. : First, go to a competent optometrist and have your eyes examined. You are certainly getting enough sleep, but sometimes no amount of sleep will properly rest eyes which are continually subjected to strain. The commonest cause of excessive dreaming is f1 digestive disturbance due to using the wrong foods or combinations of food at the evening meal. (Cottonseed Oil) Question: R. H. W. asks: “Will you please give me some information on cottonseed oil? Is it good for fry- ing, salad dressing, and baking? Weuld it be good for a person to drink this oil? I like the taste of it, and have plenty of it to use. Would it be fattening?” olive oil or corn oil, but it is quite wi I would not advise drinking the oil, as an excess of oi} is apt to upset the digestive system.
