Logan Payne cutcagon New YORK id BOSTON The Way to Freedom In the November issue of The Forum magazine a young ‘woman tells of her experience in companionate mar- riage. She and the young man of her choice, she reports, found to their disappointment that this scheme provided them with less freedom than they would have had under @ conventional marriage. They entered into it in an ef- fort to avoid the restraints of wedlock, only to discover that they had plunged—so to speak—from the frying pan into the fire. Ultimately, disillusioned and hurt, they drifted apart; but the young woman is confident that they would have made an enduring and valuable union of it if they had been legally and conventionally married in the first place. All of this, of course, isn’t as interesting as it would have been a few years ago, wher companionate mar- riage was furnishing us with a new and enthralling topic for conversation. It is worth considering, however, for the light that it throws on freedom and the way it is to be gained. These two young people described in The Forum were, presumably, much like the rest of us; they saw that freedom is hard to get and keep in the midst of a highly organized society, and they resented the demands which society has a way of making on its individual members. So they elected to cut straight through the web and live their own lives as they saw fit. They would refuse to submit, and society might go and chase itself. Most adult human beings, probably, have felt the de- sire to try tha: stunt in one way or another; if not in marriage, then in other fields of activity. We are all rebels to a certain extent, and most of us can think of @ good many ways in which the world could be made pleasanter and less confining. Yet, as we begin to get on in years, we discover the glimmerings of a very strange and surprising truth. Free- dom, for the individual, does not come through rebellion. It cannot be had by a simple ruthless slashing of ties and spurning of traditional bonds. You get it only by making up your mind to get along without it. If you rab for it, it inevitably eludes you. Freedom, in other words, comes through service—not the capital-letter Service of the luncheon clubs, but the genuine article, which flows naturally out of forgetful- ness of self. The man who frets about it misses it. The man who puts it out of his mind and whole-heartedly accepts the fact that he cannot possibly live for himself alone—he, in the fullness of time, finds that he has at- tained it. ‘This, naturally, isn’t pleasant doctrine for the young and ardent. They will not believe it, and they often let themselves in for a good deal of heartache and loneli- ness in the effort to prove that it isn't so. And yet it is only another way of phrasing that profound old Galilean truth—“He that saveth his life shall lose it.” ‘A Move to the Country The outskirts of American cities are generally curious Places, There are usually two or three suburban neigh- borhoods with large houses, well-kept lawns and great shade trees, where the well-to-do live. There are other, larger neighborhoods, with smaller houses, lawns and trees, where the lesser folk live. Then, succeedirg these, and straggling out into the country, are more or Ives hap- hazard, undesigned regions where houses of no particular style, of architecture lie tossed in one and two-acre plats of ground, surrounded by vegetable gardens and set off by rickety garages. These are the places that lie between the suburbs and the open country. They are occupied by city folk, gen- erally by workingmen, but they partake of the rural; their vegetable gardens are usually flourishing, and there is ordinarily a swarm of children about each one, gen- erally a dog-and often a rather commodious chicken coop, Here is the way one of these homes comes into ex- 2 ' A workingman buys the land—an acre of low-priced ground, probably—on @ land contract. First of all, he builds a garage on it, Usually it is a two-car garage, although he has but one-car; and he and his family move in and set up housekeeping beside the’ family car, ‘There follows a year or two or three of this, Then, the Jand paid for, a house is built, Sometimes the occupant is @ carpenter or a mason by trade, in which case he builds the house himself. Otherwise, he has it done in the usual way. Eventually—say five years after he first took over the land—he has his place all fixed, with a house, @ garage, an acre of ground, and a neat garden. He drives to and from work in the city, his family lives in the open country and all hands are well satisfied. . This is something that the automobile has made pos- sible. It couldn’t be done in the old days, The working- man had to stick within street car distance of his job, and dismal were the city slums into which he cramped himself. Now, however, if he has energy and courage, he can get away and work out his own salvation. Now in diagnosing the future we usually assume that it will follow the recent past—that cities will grow larger and larger as the years-go by. But is it not quite as reasonable to suppose that this new trend outward will take the place of the old trend inward? And isn't that, on the whole, a better prospect? Big cities are not, after all, very good places*for peo- ple to live. This dawning movement to the open coun- ‘ry 15 8 good sign, It means a better life, and a meas- ure of real independence, for the people who take part in it. Let us hope that it continues; and if the homes that it produces are not very pleasing to the eye, just Temember that the average block of low-priced houses in & big city is not, either. 1 A Windowless Facto: ‘The typical factory used to be a high building ‘with blank, expressionless walls studded with small, dirty ‘windows. More recently it became a combination of steel and glass, almost as open to the sun as a green- house. Now, apparently, it is about to undergo another change. * The Austin company, international engineers and Builders, are building = radically different factory for the Simonds Saw and Steel company at Fitchburg, Mass. The building will have no windows at all, nor will it) have skylights; yet its designers believe it will provide more fresh air and better light for its workers than any factory yet constructed. Hundreds of thousand-watt lamps will provide uniform illumination such as is not possible in window-lighted factories. Ventilation systems will keep the air pure and maintain a constant temperature. All machinery will be painted orange-color, and walls and ceiling will be blue. green and white. It will be interesting to see if this sets a new vogue for factory construction. A Warning for Hunters The Izaak Walton League points out that the nation’s stock of wild ducks is apt to be badly depleted this fall unless sportsmen voluntarily put &hemselves under sharp restrictions. Due to the drought and the constant encroachment on breeding areas, only about half the usual number of ducks will be flying south to their accustomed wintering grounds. Furthermore, the constriction of water areas due to drought will cause them to concentrate in un- usually large numbers and may lead sportsmen to believe that they are more plentiful this year than ever—with the result that there will be excessive killing. The U. 8. Biological survey, however, has definitely established that the number of ducks is greatly reduced, and the league fears that the enthusiasm of the hunters may have disastrous effects. The intelligent sportsman will bear the league's warning in mind. By exercising moderation this fall, he will help keep his chosen sport alive for future seasons, Seeking a 6-Hour Day The demand of the railroad workers for a six-hour working day and an eight-hour pay schedule is certain to precipitate a tremendous amount of discussion—some of it, probably, rather acrimonious. Whether the railroad men get what they want or not, they will at least focus the nation’s attention on the general question of shorter working hours, and that will be a good thing. In theory one can make out an excellent case for the six-hour day. But it is probable that this particular situation will not be settled by theory but by cold facts. | ‘The railroads have made money in recent years only by dint of the most strict economies. It would take a rash Prophet to state definitely, off-hand, that they can adopt the six-hour day without losing their profits. ‘The shorter working day is coming, eventually, beyond doubt. But whether the time is tipegnow for its in- troduction, and whether the railroad’ industry is the Proper place to begin it, are two other questions. ‘ Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought b; They are published with- gut regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies. other editors. A Lawless Nuisance (Duluth Herald) Commissioner Foubister does well to notify the police that political advertising on poles must be stopped and if necessary, punished. ‘There is a city ordinance against this practice which has been violated, perhaps, by most candidates. Yet it is @ sound ordinance. The cards are public nuisances, and when after election they slowly fade and grow tattered and unsightly they become still greater nui- sances. At the same time, the city in enforcing this ordinance, as it should, is in the position of punishing others for a violation of law that it commits itself. While the city is forbidding this form of advertising, at the same time it is using these forbidden poles to display the official notices of the coming election. But it does that because the state law requires it, and if it did not violate jts own ordinance it would have to violate a state law. The state law ought not to compel violations of local law. The city and the legislature ought to get together to find some way of notifying the people that there is going to be an election without resorting to the law- less practice that the city forbids the candidate to use. A Statesmanlike Filipino (Minneapolis Journal) It is refreshing to hear the Filipino problem discussed by a Filipino with such clarity, sanity and erudition as were shown by Vicente Vilamin, lawyer and publicist, in his talk to the Lions club Wednesday. Thoroughly appreciative of what the United States has done and is doing for the Philippines without Pie e upon them a penny of taxation, Mr. Villamin the same natural desire that animates his coun for complete independence. But he sees clearly that to in- dulge that desire now would mean economic disaster for the Philippines, For their main industries, sugar and cocoanut products, are founded on the American tariff Preference, and would speedily perish, were their free market in United States suddenly abolished, Mr. Villamin’s solution for the problem is, first, a new understanding with the American government, setting the day for granting of full independence well into the future, but at a definitely fixed time; second, the re- adjustment meanwhile of Filipirfo agriculture by stimulat- ing the raising of tropical products, such as rubber, cof- fee and quinine, that are not competitive with Ameri- can farm products, If this policy of diversification is pursued, Mr. Vil- lamin believes, the Philippines will be ready for break- ing sway from the United States, when the time comes, with the least possible economic dislocation. And they will find @ ready market in the United States for their new products, which we already buy elsewhere to the tune of a billion dollars a year. Meanwhile, Philippine competition with American dairy- men and sugar beet raisers would be steadily decreased Spe new tearkels for Philippine core and suger sought where. Mr. Villamin shows good judgment in cutting loose from the Filipino politicians and in seeking to educate his own countrymen as well as Americans in the economic elements of the Filipino problem. Short of some world convulsion, that problem must ultimately be settled on economic, and not political or sentimental lines. The Boy and His Dog (Washingon Star) “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends,” declared the youngest and longest lived of the evangelists. A touching instance of this climax of affection is reported from Washington state, where a ten-year-old lad stepped protectingly and deliberately between his dog and the muzzle of a gun. The result was not the laying down of a life, for only & shoulder wound resulted, but the fact remains that this small boy faced, for anything he knew to the con- trary, grim death itself in order to save his “friend”— for if the dog is known the wide world over as the friend of man, he is doubly so the friend of the small boy who holds his ownership and his entire devotion. It was ‘an older boy, actuated by a spirit of mean bravado, who pulled the trigger of the potentially lethal weapon, but he does not enter the inspiring picture except incidentally. The combination of small, restless and affectionate boy and of adoring dog is ages old, and approaches per- fection as closely as anything we have on this earth. Many a pet, pure-bred or mongrel, has hurled himself unhesitatingly into fatal fray in order to protect his small master, and under many a small sized, none too clean, gingham shirt or chequered jumper exists a reciprocally chivalrous spirit as fine as anything Galahad ever experienced. A boy is a wonderful thing; a good dog scarcely less so, and the combination of the two has virtues and advantages scarcely to be comprehended unless by those who once were boys and who once owned dogs. The participants in such a partnership enjoy a happy communion of spirit scarce possible even between a boy and his chum. They share adventures rich and some- times racy; they share actual guilt and untrue suspicion thereof with a sublime serenity. The dog shares his master’s sandwich with as great a nonchalance as he contributes fleas to the small human person. In spite of strict family prohibition, they often share the same bed. To the immortal category of Damon and Pythias, David and Jonathan and Roland and Oliver, let there be added Any Boy and His Dog. The one great disadvantage in the scheme of things is that the boy becomes a man while the dog becomes but a beloved memory. Perhaps Providence so decrees it lest the ultimate parting wrench become unbearable. be And the Farmer Hauled Another Load Away! mysteriously murdi im that er reclt jous in the cellar.

It may be played by the whole family and is not a tiring game, so that even the older people may enjoy it. |. Sometimes, after eighteen holes, an enthusiastic golfer may find that he has a sore spot some place along the spine. In swinging the golf club for @ long shot a certain twisting motion is used, and if the twist is not per- formed smoothly, it brings about too much strain ard the result is that the vertebrae of the spine may be slightly twisted. If the vertebrae are pushed sufficiently far out of their normal places there will result an impinge- ment on the nerves coming from the spine, which may lead to a very sore back. Of course, if the swing is car- ried through correctly and smoothly, very little jar is given the back, but the new ‘player is often awkward from a lack of skill and will play in such @ way as to the back, lead- be called a golf if the spine had been kept in good condition, and there is no doubt that you can make your shots smoother and more accurate if your spine is Properly developed, for you will then have a balance and smoothness in your swing which cannot otherwise be present. Should your back hurt after a golf practice, the best plan is to consult an raise your limbs, and exhaling while returning to the original position. ‘You will find these exercises very helpful taken morning and evening in connection with your other exer- cises. Only take them about five times each at first or you may make your muscles sore. This may grad- ually be increased until you are doing each exercise from fifteen to twenty times. These special exercises will strengthen your back and keep it from getting sore after playing golf or doing other active occupations. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Erysipelas Question: R. M. writes: “I would appreciate it very much if you would give me a general synopsis of erysip- elas, stating the cure, and the food the patient may eat. He is seventy years old, and has been laid up for eleven months.” Answer: I have prepared special articles on this subject which I have sent to thousands of my readers, many of whom have reported com- Plete cures. Just send a large, self- addressed, stamped envelope and I will mail you the same articles which have helped many others. Reducing Question: Mrs. J. O. asks: “May one, while on a reducing diet, drink tea with lemon once a day?” Answer: It is better not to drink any liquid except water and fruit juices while reducing. Underweight Question: C. D. writes: “I am a girl twenty years old and am vety much underweight for my height. As I eat all healthful foods and my appetite is fine, I have decided this failure to gain is due to a sunken chest. I have had several corrective gym teachers tell me this is so. Do you think it is the cause of my un- derweight? Can this be corrected?” Answer: The teachers may be right about the sunken chest being respon- sible for your underweight. At your age, if you will take the proper phy- sical culture and breathing exercises you can surely correct the chest de- formity. Paraffin Oil Question: Mrs. W. K. asks: “Is li- oud Paraffin oil a safe laxative to ie.” Answer: Paraffin oil may be used @s an intestinal lubricant, but can- not be considered a laxative. It is a safe thing to use while’ you are cor- recting constipation through remov- ing its cause. 80 relieve the pain, but you should al- so learn. to develop your spinal muscles so that they are strong ough to maintain the vertebrae in @ normal position, even though sub- ject to strain.
