Rights of Parents Bring Duties, Too > os ov Mf i An Ohio court has ruled that a ir mother who voluntarily gives up her © claim to her baby has no right to come back later and reclaim it. It has held that the rights of foster- parents can be greater than those of actual flesh and blood. e It makes an interesting case, be- cause it goes in the opposite direction to most of our sentimental concep- tions of the rights of parenthood. , The woman in question bore a girl four years ago. The mother was in poor circumstances financially, the child's health was bad; and when the youngster was about a year and a half old, the mother placed it in a public institution for care. Then the mother dropped out of the picture. And the baby girl was adopted by a man and a woman who raised the child as their own. Her health was built up and she was made happy; she came to love her foster- parents as her own, and she lost her memory of her real mother. Finally, not long ago, the real mother returned and demanded that the child be given back to her. The foster-parents refused to comply. So COTA WP financial resources to be used as a reservoir for war loans for either set of combatants. We could not turn our industries into manufactories for mitnitions of war, | It might be hard to follow such al Policy, The pressure would be tre- mendous. But we need only look back to the World war to understand what the consequences of failure to follow it might be. If and when a new war comes to Europe, it will be of the highest im- portance to civilization that one great nation remain at peace. And if we are going to maintain our neu- trality, the present moment is not too early a time to start making up our minds. What Price Repeal? It is a little bit surprising to read/ that construction of seven new cut- ters for the coast guard, at a cost of $11,520,000, just has been author- ized by the treasury department. In applying for funds from the PWA, the department announced that these cutters will be used to suppress rum running. | It is easy to understand, of course, that the laying of stiff import duties on liquor shipments will provide an incentive for smugglers; and it is only Proper to recall that the coast guard was on duty against smugglers long before anyone ever dreamed of a fed- eral prohibition law. Nevertheless, this business of seven new cutters to stop rum runners is a little disturbing. Most of us, prob- ably, had expected that repeal of the 18th amendment would put the rum runner out of business almost auto- matically, Aren't the fruits of repeal to be quite as rich as we had sup- posed? Significant Silk A New York relief agency, trying to help girls looking for jobs, is buy- ing silk stockings for its wards, ac- cording to a recent news dispatch. A decade or two ago such a bit of news would have indicated a most Profound and irresponsible bit of mismanagement. Today it merely shows that the relief workers have good sense. A girl who is looking for a job must be dressed neatly; and nowadays be- ing neatly dressed, for a woman, means—among other things—the wearing of silk stockings. Lament the fact as we may, it nevertheless is true that silk stock- ings are just about a necessity, now, the mother went into court, asked to have the adoption set aside, and re- quesved that the child be delivered into her custody. After hearing the court refused to act. 5 the mother had forfeited her right to { the child, and that the youngster's best interests would be served by leaving it in the home it now occu- pies. We frequently fall into the assump- tion that the physical tie which ex- ists between a mother and a child can be stronger than any other con- sideration, In this connection, we talk sentimentally about the “bond” that must exist, and we have a good deal to say about the rights of par- ents, What we often forget is the fact that rights are accompanied by duties, ; end that it takes more than a simple physical relationship to forge an en- during bond. ‘The mere fact that we bring a child into the world gives us very little claim on the child, Our job only begins then. If circumstances or our own de- fects keep us from accomplishing that job, all we can do is turn it over to someone who will perform it. If we fail in our duties, our rights lapse. Clear away the traditional cloud of sentiment, and there seems little rea- on to quarrel with this Ohio court’s decision. oe evidence, the It ruled that U. S. Must Prepare for Neutrality Anyone who bothers to look at the state of affairs in Europe these days must feel inclined to thank God for the Atlantic ocean. Not even in the first months of 1914 ‘was there more widespread expecta- tion of a general European war at an early date. Almost no one now geems to doubt that a war is com- ing; the only question seems to be, “When?” The Atlantic ocean is wide, and this continent is physically far re- moved from the scene of these Euro- pean troubles. But the distance isn’t @s great as it might be, for all that. Canada, in 1914, and the United Btates, in 1917, learned that they could be called on to send their young men overseas to die in quar- rels that were purely European—, quarrels in the making of which the New World had had no hand, and no direct benefits. clouds drifting high over the Euro- tomes, how can we keep out of it?” @ European conflict if we make up our minds definitely, in advance, that we are not going to be entangled in it on either side. , Such ® policy might call for a stricter conception of neutrality than ‘we observed before, ‘We could not permit our country jte be made a happy hunting ground : ‘for propagandists, as it was in 1915 ‘ : qn 1016, We could not permit our and not a luxury.

A winter with long hours of sun- shine, little or no snow, and less sick- ness than has been known in this section for years. A winter when clear bracing air, sunercharged ozone, makes the pedes- trian throw back his shoulders, breathe deeply, and exclaim to each neigh- bor he meets, “Isn't this glorious weather!” It is warm in the more southern climes and the sun shines brightly in other states, but no spot in the world ean furnish just the clear, pure qual- ity of ozone which rests lightly above the Missouri Slope country, and when an open winter comes, such as we have enjoyed in 1934, no place could be more healthful, delightful. Of course we cannot guarantee there will not be more cold weather before the winter is through, and snow may come. The thought of a North Da- kota blizzard may make our former residents in California shiver, but not so much as they did a few times dur- ing the past summer when shaken by earthquakes, And if the Herald gave away free copies for each day it rains uring the winter as does the daily St. Petersburg, Florida, there would have been several free issues during the 1934 season at New England. The wind blows here occasionally, more often perhaps than in Florida, but we know nothing of the terrific typhoons which blow in off the Atlantic in that winter playground. This winter the Lord tempered the wind to the shorn lamb, the shaggy horses on the prairie, the cows on the Tange, The winter of 1934, thus far, has been a wonderful time on the Missouri Slope. Daily men are working on CWA projects, Crews spread gravel day after day. It was not too cold fer cement work at the New England school. Not all employed had over- shoes. Not all would have worn them during this mild weather. ‘The streets at New England are dry, Many appear day after day without overcoats and rubbers. Kids Play baseball and marbles.

Combustion of a given weight, say & gram (about one-third of a teaspoonful) of fat or oil yields 9.4 calories, as compared with 4 calories from a gram of starch or sugar and 4 calories from a gram of egg white or protein, (as in cheese or lean meat). Olls or fats in food are first emulsi- fied into chyle in the small intestine. The chyle is absorbed by lacteals, car- tied to the (forgive me, old timers) receptaculum chylae and the great thoracic duct which pours it directly into the blood of the internal jugular vein in the neck. Thus it mixes with the blood in the veins and is carried straight to the heart, pumped thru the lungs, back to the left side of the heart and thence sent thru the whole circulation. For hours after a meal the blood stream contains chyle fat. A specimen of blood taken within eight hours after a meal may be centrifugalized and the fat will collect at the top in the form of cream—healthy blood containing perhaps one-half of one per cent fat. In many disease con- ditions, notably alcoholism, diabetes, tuberculosis and chronic nephritis, there is an excess of fat present in the blood. No one seems to know what significance this may have. But never mind about that. Just remem- ber that any oil or fat that can be digested and absorbed is conveyed thru the route described, and as it circulates thru the body in the blood the tissues or organs that can use it pick out what they want. And any there's the good old receptaculum chylae. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Listen to the Parrot My son is entering —— university. Authorities say he must be vaccinat- ed. Always said I'd never allow any putrid matter from a sore on @ sick calf... (LG) Answer—If the authorities insist on vaccination by all means let the young man be vaccinated. You only betray your childish credulity when you repeat, like a parrot, the cheap Phrases of some charlatan who sought to sway ignorant people. Vaccine virus is not “putrid matter from a sore on a sick calf.” Re tion Please outline the “regeneration regimen” you advise for adults of 30 to 40 who find themselves slipping or going stale . . . (M. R. K.) Answer—Send 10 cents in coin and 8 stamped envelope bearing your ad- dress and ask for the booklet “Re- generation Regimen.” Rheumatic Fever Engaged to man who had rheuma- tic fever when a small boy. His doc- tor said it was hereditary. No one else in his family has had it so far as is known. Would his children be subject to it. The illness left his heart in bad shape. (V. L.) Answer—So-called “rheumatic fev- er” is a streptococcus infection in- volving the lining of joints and of- ten the lining of the heart. Where the heart lining is involved (endo- carditis) the valve may be left dis- torted by the scar, and that is the common origin of valvular leakage. that is not needed for fuel is laid away here and there as reserve. For instance the pad of subcutaneous fat that keeps us all nice and soft and warm and some of us smooth and round. Ghandi to the c.n,w—in any prolonged famine, fasting, starvation, the body gradually burns up all the stored fat, both that worn as a blan- ket pad under the skin, and that wrapped around muscles and packed around various organs, such as the kidneys.
