NEW YORK BOSTON For CHICAGO A Year of Hoover Beset | Darkness is said to be densest just before dawn. Fail- | ure often is most overwhelming just before success. A year of the Hoover administration at Washington | tends to an appraisal in similes such as these. For, not 0 much because of what is left unfinished of its pro- gram as because of the demoralization of the forces on which the president must depend for the legislation he has proposed, the year of his exercise of the presidency | ends so disappointingly as almost to amount to positive | failure. ‘The administration is on its way somethere, but where to it probably itself doesn’t know. It has got nowhere | on the tariff, in spite of a special session devoted partly | to the revision the president recommended. Congress| Passed the farm board bill, but the board hasn't got any- where either. With Premier MacDonald the president ‘was the inspiration of the London naval limitation con- ference, but about the énly prospect ahead of that inter- national policy is that it will end in a fizzle. Certainly the prospects are gloomy. Paramount aspects in the Hoover record are the pessi: mism over the naval conference, the hostility of the sen- ate and the fierce agitation over prohibition now at the | peak of violence and boding trouble all around. In oth- | er words, the president confronts demoralization on all | the big items of the program he essayed to put through at home and abroad. He is beset with disappointments and vexations and with critics who delight in sneering at the stalemate he has encountered. This situation is not significant because it is the sum- ming up at the end of 12 months. Its import lies in the Political conditions that it implies. The fact that con- gressional elections are coming on in which 35 senate seats are involved and a house is to be chosen suggests even greater confusion and demoralizaiion ahead. Cer: tainly the election of a Democrat in the hitherto Repub- lican Coolidge district of Massachusetts is a sign which, if it means anything, signifies political disaster for the president's party. | So far, in a political sense, the farm board with a still | vague background also has been no asset to the presi- dent and the Republican pariy. And the peace program inaugurated by the president in the Kellogg pact and the naval conference at London also has its politica: rifts at home. Not everybody believes in these. Wheth- er the tariff measure be passed or defeated, the damage has been done by the long delay in considering ‘it and the division in the party over it. It can only add more liability in the election. | Why is there such a condition when the president was | 80 overwhelmingly the choice of the people and when his administration started out so splendidly and wisely in | taking over the problems which met Mr. Hoover at the | threshold of the white house? | Anyone who will stop to consider what has taken Place in this year ending so disappointingly must realize that, while conditions count against the president, he has been singularly free of creating them. He proposed tariff revision, but he did not then start to back-fire his ! proposal. He inspired the naval conference, but it has been France and Italy and to some extent Japan which are holding back the consummation of the purposes in the Hoover mind when he and Ramsay MacDonald con- ferred on the calling of the parley on an oid log along the | banks of the Rapidan. It was his plan of farm board | which was enacted and which has failed to accomplish in @ few months that which congress, as Chairman Alex- ander Legge aptly expressed it, failed to accomplish in j eight years. And what is to be expected as to the form of adjustment of a question on which the people are so violently divided as on prohibition? ‘The truth is it is the hatreds and suspicions and im- | many where skill in the art has been developed to a od Perialistic aims of two European nations which have been | singularly ungrateful toward the United States which are | checkmating the peace program of the president abroad. And at home it is rebellion in his party which is be- traying the president. Senators who wear the livery of Republicanism for no other end than merely to vent non- | Constructive spleen—serving neither those whose votes they gained by deceit nor the opposition with which they have’ not the courage openly to consort—these are the men who are chargeable with the legislative failure which has been made to reflect so adversely on the progress of the administration and are keeping the business of the mation in doubt and dullness. ‘This is all very shortsighted. The presidential election | still is two years and more away. The only political en- | tities to be killed off at this time are in the legislative branch of the government, when the congressional elec- tions take place in the fall. What a stroke of retribu- tive justice it would be if these enemies of the president were to dig their own political graves by their attempts toward success, as his farm board pians and his efforts to reduce unemployment—both of which conceivably might ensue—and ie will be restored in public estima- | between the lines. When a Dog Held Up the Revolution The -really interesting events in history don't always get the space they deserve. hints that stir our curiosity; but curiosity ts always get- ting iet down with a thump. There is, for instance, the matter of General Howe's pet dog. Rupert Hughes, in the third volume of his life of Washington, gives as many of the facts as he can find, } and then speculates about the rest; and no reader can help wishing that the chroniclers of the old days had gone out of their way a bit to set down the whole story. What happened was this: General Howe, commanding the British army that oc- cupied Philadelphia, had a small dog that he prized very highly. In 1778, or thereabouts, Howe made one of his forays out of Philadelphia in the hope of catching Washington off guard and smashing him. Washington dodged him; but Howe's dog—imbibing, perhaps, the American spirit of liberty—went on the loose, and when the roll was called was not to be found. Instead of staying with his British master, he had wandered straight into the American camp, where he was busily making friends with the ragged Continentals! A day or so later Washington sent out a squad with a fiag of truce. The squad approached the British lines, was met by British sentries—and formally handed over General Howe's deg. who trotted back to headquarters to receive the general's forgiveness. That’s the story. And somehow we'd be willing to swap a lot of accounts of battles and political maneuvers for a good, eye-witness account of that little transaction The thing isn’t hard to picture, at that. One can imagine the squad of bronzed Americans stalking along in military formation, with the excited dog tugging on a leash and—no doubt—drawing a string of half affect- jonate curses from the sergeant detailed to lead him; the arrival of this squad at’ the British outpost, with all hands presenting arms; the subile relaxation of military dignity as some immaculate, red-coated British sergeant took the pup into custody—and, lastly, the parade of the British squad to the commanding officer's tent, with | the dog joyously frisking forward to stick his wet nose | into the face of the good-natured British general. —_________—+ Today Is the SS Eeene j mendments required by America: sentiment, and on June 28, 1919, the treaty was signed. \ leges. ing. To be sure, it isn’t so terribly important; yet, after | all, it does make the men of that day come to life for us. | The British and American soldiers can never be mere au- | tomatons again, once we have seen them in this business of transferring a stray dog from one army to another. They come alive for us, turn into flesh and blood. The Problem of Hazing Hazing is one of the perennial problems for the Amer- | ican college. Every coilege has its troubles with it at some time or another. Just now it is North Carolina State that is the uniucky institution, with three students expelled for the offense and several more under investigation. The facts in the case are of the usual kind. One stu- en so badly that he was painfully injured. Several oth- er students were forcibly given grotesque hair cuits. Just what it is that makes intelligent young men carry on activities like this is a puzzler. One would suppose that a college man, of all people, would be above such idiotic barbarities. But the trouble crops out in all col- It almost makes one suspect that there is a hid- len, in-born streak of cruelty in the American charac- ter. Nurse Natural Heroine There seem to pe certain classes of workers in this country from whom heroism can be expected almost as a matter of course, The telephone girls, for instance, make up such a class. Hardly any story of a flood or cyclone is complete with- out the account of how some gallant “hello girl” stuck to her post in the face of danger in order to warn others. If you'll stop to think, we believe you'll agree that nurses kelong in the same class, only more so. | In the Cleveland Clinic disaster dozens of nurses prov- | el their selfless bravery—and many paid with their lives.

According to a recent statement from the United States department of agriculture the supply of farm labor on January ist was 15 per cent greater than the demand, with a cohsequent lowering of farm wages in all parts of the country. Continuing NE of the men and women about her noticed the girl dressed in shabby black sitting alone on a bench facing the water. Judith studied her neighbors. There were two old men, white- baired and red-cheeked, who sat nearest. Their collars were hunched up about their chins to ward off the wind. The two men were arguing, though she could not hear what they sald. One old fellow was tall On his return to the United States Wilson started a tour from coast to coast, making speeches for the League and declaring that if America rejected it she would “break the great heart of the world.” The president cam- paigned so strenuously that he broke down on Sept. 26 and was compelled to return to Washington. AIR-LAND RACE London.—A race over land, water, and in the air, was recently planned here between 30 or 40 women. The race started by motor car to a point where the contestants had to take to motorboats. Then the race again jumped to automobiles with an air- port as the destination.

She went back to the hotel and up the elevator to her room. Judith turned the key in the latch and swung the door open. It was only a little after four o'clock, bright daylight out of doors, but here in the little room with its one window facing the court, every: thing was black.

For 24 hours she had been terrified by forbidding horrors she had refused to name. She was afraid of what should hap- ben when Arthur Knight knew the truth, She was afraid even of ad- mitting she was afraid. The whole sickening panorama Passed before her mind. Why not admit it? She was beaten! | Judith did not know how long she stood staring out of the win- dow. An idea, vague but persistent, was beginning to shape itself in her mind. She considered this idea, dis- carded it, then went Broping in search of it again. Suppose she should go to Ar- thur— “No, mo, no!” caution argued. “What would you say? What could and thin.

This was accomplished for by mounting industrial prosperity which, it was stated, was attracting labor from the farm to the city, where greater wages were to be had. It is extremely doubtful, however, whether increasing the supply of farm labor through an industrial slump in the cities would be of any benefit to the farmers, Indeed, quite the reverse is a) son that it is the people furnish for the farmer his greatest market.

Each group was preoccupied, oblivious to the rest. Judith Knight’s mind was busy, too. She stared at the water, drawn by its restless lure. Far in the distance great ships were bead- ing ocean-ward. Others, returning from foreign seas, were steaming into port, Staring out at the hasy horizon, Judith lost herself in reverie, Min. utes passed. Then she remembered what bad bappened and her melan- choly returned.. But the stir, the noise of the, nature battled back and forth, Such fights are not settled quickly. In this case too much was at stake. Judith knew she bad given Tony & promise to stay away for two weeks. But what was that promise except payment of blackmail? She had agreed to leave the house for two weeks. She was doing this in order that Tony would not tell her father what she knew. ‘Was it-decent to bargain thus? Was such a promise binding? Other elements entered into the struggle, Why, Judith asked her- self, was Tony so anxious to have her leave? What could two weeks— eternity though they seemed to Ju- dith—do to the situation? How would she feel when at the end of that period she returned home? ‘The tangle seemed hopeless. Oh, there were points that were clear YL she was afraid to gamble. To see Arthur again—to tell him the whole story—to see the light of forgiveness in his eyes! But no, Arthur Knight would not forgive. Judith slipped to her knees and buried her head on the bed. “Ob, God,” she prayed, “help me! Help me to know what is right!” Suddenly she knew that was the Important thing. Not her own sel- fish happiness should guide her, but the thing that was right. In plead- ing for guidance her prayers had been answered, Judith was strangely pale, strangely stirred as she arose, She caught a glimpse of her reflection in the mirror and stared at it, She scarcely recognized herself. Her wrist watch told her it was nearly six o'clock. Judith disrobed, bathed and dressed afresh, Then she made ready to leave the room.

Glowing electric lights beaconed but Judith ignored them. we wD The name for such portions of hu- man knowledge as have been more or less generalized, systematized and verified, is called “science.” The sciences have been variously classi- fied into theoretical sciences and practical sciences. In the study of health and disease we must consider both of these aspects if we can ex- pect to reach any helpful conclusions which will assist us in becoming healthier and happier. From the sciences of chemistry, of physics, of biology, of mathematics, and all of the natural sciences, we have gained much from theoretical discussion and psychological reason- ing, but it is equally true that a vast wealth of valuable material has been acquired from the practical side of these subjects applied to a study of the laws of life. Volumes have been written upon such short subjects as dietetics, as viewed frem a theoretical laboratory standpoint, but we are often still too much at @ loss to know what is ac- tually good for us to eat. Lecturers are traveling about the country giv- ing courses in dietetics and philos- ophy, and only too often does the earnest seeker after truth come away with his head full of theoretical ideas and so little of practical knowledge that he hopelessly returns to his reg- ular corned beef and cabbage meals. Doubtlessly, any study of a scien- tifi¢ subject is of some help inasmuch as it stimulates the processes of thought, yet, I believe too much em- phasis is often placed upon the lab- oratory. study of such a subject as dietetics and not enough upon the serviceable, commonsense perspective. Some of the ablest physicians I have known have had little training in their medical course upon such a subject. Because of their ability to give useful advice they have suc- ceeded in bringing about cures with their patients, where the highly trained practitioner, so sure of his skill and knowledge, has failed to achieve even success, The physician graduating with the highest honors from the best medical college is often forced into being only an assistant to the physician who realizes the need of the practical ap- Plication of sensible advice, A new field is opening up for the student, HEALTHe’DIET ADVI 443 Ihe Ses?
