This is the latest development of freedom of action and self-determination in America as interpreted by the United States department of labor, children’s bureau. Dr. D. Thom of the Community Health Association of Boston is the authority on habit clinics quoted by the labor department in a recent bulletin. Eight clinics are now operating in Boston under Dr. Thom’s direction. Children who won't eat, children who scream when they are reproved, shy children and bossy children, chil- dren who lie and steal are taken to the clinic as “patients,” are diagnosed, and treated for their bad habits. The most frequent cases, in the order named, have re- lated to feeding problems, temper tantrums, pugnacity and shyness, problems of sex life, neurosis, destructive- ness, delinquency, and acute personality changes. During the past year Dr. Thom’s clinics treated 160 children. He reports that only 19 showed no evidence of improvement. age is A physician says life may be prolonged at least seven years by the elimination of unnecessary noises, which shows that he is not a good party man.

He could look back across the Plaza to the white mass of the capitol, lumi- nous in the golden light of noon, and lift his head in pride that he had kept the faith of the fathers of the republic.” Gee Christmas, yes! Mac’s departure was_heart- tending. One’s bosom still heaves with the sadness of it and one’s tears spurt forth into the wide, wide world uncontrollable. No more the capitol luminous in Wash- ington’s golden noon. No more of them blooming forsythia. Gosh, but the parting was painful! He just put down one No. 11 shoe before the other, faced forward instead of backward, lifted his head in pride and went forth to privacy in a $100,000 job with Doheny. It hurts yet, Mary. How We’re Swindled ORE than 1,750 million dollars is stolen every year from the American people, says the district attor- ney of New York. He doesn’t include theft by violence, such as holdups. His list is 150 millions stolen by com- mercial frauds, 600 millions thru fraudulent insurance claims and 1,000 millions thru worthless securities. Experts say the total of all thefts is over 3,000 mil- lion dollars a year—or roughly $1 out of every $15 earned by the people in salaries and wages. [ X LETER FRO} V RIDGE PANN | July 5.

There are doctors, so they tell me, who make people's faces new, and of cheeks and ears and noses change the tone.
