The child of 12 or 14 who has been left to discover the normal realities of life thru bad associations and bad reading is a witness against parental stu- pidity and culpable parental disregard for the good of society. A TERRIBLE issue sional ethics and * to have been worried to a finish by the Ohio Bar association. An “ambulance chaser” bill has been proposed. E At long distance, the understanding of this proposed statute is that lawyers, go- ing forth upon the public highways with eyes and ears attuned to whom they may devour, have been chasing ambulances containing victims of accidents who had grounds for damage suits and needed lawyers. Anyone can see the deplorable unethics of such proceeding and vision its superla- tive dangers as a precedent to the other professions. If the ethics of the legal profession so break down, there is no son why a dentist shouldn't stop a fellow on the street and sound his teeth, or a doctor crowd a pedestrian up against a store front and lance his boil. Young dentists and doctors must eat, the same as young lawyers. Still, considering the turning out of young professionals by the thousands every year and that ethics don’t pay the office rent or fill the stomach, it is evi- dent that the matter of ethics can be over-strained in many instances. of life Ethics vs. Eats between m and” seems profes- Go to, Helen! NGLISH+ women are discussing means of enlarging their business activi- ties, and all avenues are being searched as with a fine-tooth comb. Meetings are held and the advice of those already in the big swim is sought. The campaign is vigorous and its object is bread. A few evenings ago, at one of these meetings, Dr. Helen Mayo, a successful practicing dentist, was called on for sug- gestions. Helen was ready with the goods. “Be a dentist,” she said. She didn’t add, of course, that as an inside and outside job, literally speaking, it was profitable, but she might well have done so. Any- way, her idea appeared to have teeth in it, and the ambitious auditors took due notice. Pushing forward to the edges of their chairs and listening with all the ears they had, they asked for further elucidation. Dr. Helen told them at length —everything from bicuspids, canines and wisdoms to double-back-action uppers and lowers. “But,” she said with emphasis, “one of the essentials of becoming a suc- cessful dentist is to have large feet.” Er-well! The listeners drew back, re- laxed and lost interest. Big feet! And admit it? Not on your art photograph! And the low, descending sun counted that day lost for them. If there is anything or anybody that woman does not know and understand, it is women. Dr. Helen must realize that now. Everybody else does.

OW well do you know your country's geography Most people, if asked to name the low- est point in Utah, would answer “Salt Lake,” the remnant of the great prehis- toric Lake Bonneville, a body of fresh water that once covered a large arta in Utah. The lowest point, however, is Beaver- dam creek, in Washington county. It is 2,000 feet above sea level. Utah, by the way, has an approximate mean elevation of 6,100 feet. Only two other states, Colorado and Wyoming, are higher. The interior department at Washing- ton issues a bulletin containing these facts.

HAT father is a failure whose son does not regard him as a companion as well as parent, a sharer of confidences as well as adviser. Parents too easily forget their own childhood. Father and Son week, Febru- ary 22 to 28, is a reminder of paternal obligations too many of us do not meet, A good motto would be, “Grow up with your children.” No reason why father and son, and mother and daughter, should not be regular “buddies.” Autos for Everyone UTOMOBILE travel once was the luxury of the rich. Now it is about the cheapest family transportation in the country. Autos also are cheaper to buy in this, the 25th year of the industry, than they ever were. They cost less than a good horse and buggy did not so many years ago. The automobile has just about passed the stage where anyone thinks of term- ing it a luxury. As a matter of fact, there are few who can afford not to have one. Answers to Your Questions Gy vear for appointment to the academy Q. Can any finite date be given for the birth of Jesus Christ?
