The Constitution Among the things that every school child is taught is the fact that the constitution of the United States is @ document of great value and deep wisdom. ‘This is certainly true enough, and it is a wise and beneficial thing for us to set aside one day every year as “Constitution Day.” But the school children and we older folk are alike in one thing—we seldom bother to read this document to which we do homage. Our observance of the day ought to begin with that. For it is only by studying the constitution, and seeing precisely what it does and does not say, that we can begin to understand what a stalwart bulwark of human liberty it really is. And after we have read it, it is good mental exercise to go back and have a look at the circumstances un- der which it was written and adopted. The colonies had won their inde- pendence from England—and they hardly knew what to do with it. They were weak, scattered, beset by a my- triad of antagonisms and suspicions. They were divided geographically and socially. Some influential men would not have been sorry to see an Ameri- can king; others preferred even the loose and inefficient articles of con- federation, believing that these at least left the individual secure in his own freedom. . Out of all of this confusion and clash of opposing forces came the constitution; and reading it, with its background in mind, one cannot fail to gain a new admiration for the men who concocted it. They did their utmost to preserve the people from tyranny and oppres- sion; they wrote the most rigid safe- guards they could devise to keep despotism out of the country; they set up the elaborate, and subsequently famous, system of checks and bal- ances to make certain that no one branch of the government would ever become too powerful. ‘This document has been in effect for nearly 150 years. It is as strong today as when it was adopted— stronger, in fact, for it is buttressed by years of observance. Under it the people of the United States have recorded a great and glorious history. Today we are passing through one Of those times of stress which test weak or defective eyes; how special methods of care and training were drawn up to fit those who did lose their sight for useful, normal exist- ence; how hospitais and clinics were founded to prevent blindness; how means were found of preventing many injuries to the eyes; how a vast mass of knowledge of diseases of the eye was compiled, to make the task of saving eyesight progressively easier. And in all of this Dr. Posey found an absorbingly romantic story—as the rest of us can do, also, if we get rid of our pre-conceived notions about what romance really is, In the age-old struggle to make the hard lot of human beings a little brighter and happier there is ro- mance enough to satisfy the most ardent. All we need is someone like Dr. Posey to make us see it. Talk Avoids Trouble ‘The English seem to have thorough knowledge of the way in which free speech serves as a valuable social Safety valve. British Fascists had a big mass meeting in London’s Hyde Park the other day. Thousands of their sym- pathizers gathered to cheer them; thousands upon thousands of bitter foes of Fascism gathered to heckle them—and, finally, five thousand oo bobbies were present to see that no blood was spilled. There are civic authorities who would have been alarmed at such a demonstration and would have or- dered all speeches called off and all mobs dispersed, to prevent trouble. But not the British. They let every- body talk. The bobbies had little or nothing to do. No heads were broken, no noses were punched, and every- r MUNITIONS CO. g Teer Las body went home happy after it was over, By letting the discontented talk their heads off the British very fre- quently escape serious trouble. Let Diplomats Protest It is not exactly surprising that a number of foreign governments have issued protests against the revelations that have been made before the sen- ate munitions investigating com- mittee. Witnesses have shown how statesmen worked hand in glove with munitions firms, how highly placed Politicians in various lands took bribes, and how very exalted person- ages were not above playing the game for the armaments makers. The protests, then, are only natur- al; but they are not, after all, any skin off the hides of the senate in- vestigators, The American people want to know all they can about the devious ins and outs of this shocking traffic. The | senators are doing a fine job of find-| ing out for them. If the revelations pain important people, at home or abroad—well, that’s just too bad.

The Why and How of the Cam- paign for Better Movies (Federal Council Bulletin) The present campaign for better motion pictures has sprung up spon- taneously as a protest against what the film industry has been giving us. The people waited patiently for the motion picture producers to put their house in order, but they flagrantly failed to fulfill their fair-sounding Promises, Four years ago they an- nounced a code, which, if adhered to, | Poison Gas PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M.

A drawn and haggard expres- sion adds to the general picture of age. Friends begin first to urge that the reduction has gone far enough and should be stopped now, but presently they become more frank and deplore That is all wrong of course. If re- duction of overweight or oversize makes one look or feel older it is cer- tain that the method is unphysiologic- al or that the reduction regimen is be- | ing carried too far. With reduction, when it is brought about in a natural, physiological way, there should be and is not only a rejuvenation in looks jut also an increased joie de vivre and greater general activity and ambition. If these favorable changes are not manifest, the reduction system is not suited to the individual requirements. ‘We have only recently learned that the vitamin and mineral metabolism must be carefully regulated when a reduction regimen is prescribed. In- deed the experience of the past two or three years has amply shown that ug- less special attention is given to the vitamin and mineral metabolism no reduction regimen is likely to give complete satisfaction. We have good reason to believe now that faulty vitamin and mineral me- tabolism, due to deficiencies of every- day rations in vitamins and minerals js one of the important factors in the causation of overweight or obesity. And from recent animal experimenta- | tion and a large amount of clinical experience and observation we feel convinced that by proper adjustment of this unconsidered side of metabo- of nutrition as applied in a physiolog- seal reduction regimen I have recent- jy reduced 30 pounds, and without any difficulty or hardship. As I used up the slacker flesh I felt increased zip and keenness -to do things which before I had been inclined to put off. So it is my opinion that with proper control anybody who is overweight may reduce and be younger for it. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Brady Book for Bouncing Baby Before I was born mother was a Brady fan and followed your teach- ings in everything. I think I owe my fine health and my perfect teeth largely to the fact that mother fol- lowed your instructions before I was born. When I was just 17 you sent me a letter that I still have . I'm going to keep it till my own children need instruction. Now I am expect- ing my first baby and naturally... (Mrs, L, H.) Answer—My stars, and just think how rapidly science has advanced eince mother was a fan. Le'me see, I|* typpose I advised mother to brush teeth regularly or some such foolishness, didn’t I? I'm glad to tell you we're all through with that now. In the letter for Prospective Mothers you will find some suggestions about your diet, but another letter I'm sending you deals particularly with the conservation of the teeth. Before the baby arrives, if you can spare a dime, daughter, send it along, with a stamped envelope bearing your ad- ress, for a copy of the “Brady Baby Book.” Mother never had that to guide her, so your baby ought to be @ champion. An Old Lady Speaks You have disappointed me with servance. Romance at Home The word “romance” is a strange one. It usually conjures up visions of men who live lives of danger and action—soldiers, cowboys, explorers, sailors, and 80 on; too often we for- get that the greatest romance of all is sometimes to be found in a life which, to all outward seeming, is pro- saic and uneventful. ‘One is reminded of this by news of Bal the recent death of Dr. William Campbell Posey, noted Pennsylvania opthalmologist. Dr. Posey spent his life combating diseases of the eye; and a short time before his death he wrote a short article for “The Sight-Saving Re- view,” telling of the romance he had found in the long fight to keep peo- Ble from losing their eyesight, He told of the German physician, 150 years ago, who first suspected that infection in a child’s eyes at birth could be the cause of blindness, and who vainly tried to persuade his colleagues of the truth of his theory. He had no success. Physicians kept on explaining to harassed parents that their children had lost their sight because of pecu- Mar atmospheric conditions, cold Then Dr. Posey went on to carry the story down through the years. He told how the old German doctor was "vindicated, some 80 years later, when another German doctor showed the ‘world how to save the sight of thou- sands of infants annually by drop- ping a 2 per cent, solution of silver nitrate into the eyes of new-born babies. He told how other specialists de- ‘vised equipment to make happier and * year, made by Father Daniel A. Lord, who has been largely instrumental in launching “The Legion of Decency,” reports 26 spots or episodes built on illicit love, 25 on seduction, 2 on rape, 1 on incest, 25 characters who are Practicing or planning adultesy, 3 and many incidental charac- ters who are presented as prostitutes. He also finds 32 murders, 17 gangsters or crooks in leading roles and 27 oth- er leading roles filled by other types of criminals. All that in four months! ‘This is the motion picture diet which lywood has been feeding to the American public, including vast num- bers of children and youth. ‘The excuse of the producers is that they are “giving the people what they want.” The present campaign, which seeks to unite millions of men and Women in @ concerted movement to stay away from all films that offend Principles of Christian morality, is a way of showing the producers that there is a great body of people who want entertainment that is decent and wholesome. We are no longer willing to tolerate motion pictures which vi- vidly teach our children and youth to admire harlots and adulterers and Gangsters. We are no longer willing to sit by with folded hands while the movies send out influences that work against everything which the church, the school and home are trying to achieve, Already the movement is well under way and should gain in strength every week. It has the character almost of & popular uprising. And already it looks as if the producers are aware that the campaign will touch them at the point at which tHey are most sen- sitive—namely, the box-office receipts. Cosjain oie bee misunderstood or presented the campaign by lebelling it censorship. It is prgtesd sorship at all. It invokes no legal compulsion, asks the help of no legis- lature. It is simply a voluntary and ‘cooperative effort on the part of a host of men and women to induce the Producers to accept the responsibility of cleansing their Augaen stables and fo make censorship unnecessary. If this campaign should fail and come form of federal governmental cen- sorship be found necessary as a last Tesort, the motion picture producers lism the physician today can achieve results that were hardly to be ob- tained by any of the reduction meth- ods in vogue heretofore. 1 Who is the Everybody has some vague notion movie actress sbout scurvy, and some people know in the picture? that rickets in infants, beribert or! 11 Railroad polyneuritis, ophthalmia and nigh station. blindness, and pellagra are diseases! 19 Cravats. due to deficiency of the food in one 14Male child. or another vitamin.

During a hearing on @ union dis- crimination case, Stacy demanded of company attorney: “What interest have you in the form of organization of your employes?
