Large Cities as Health Resorts

The heart of the city is like balm to
a persistent minority.
AS for London itself, the annual
exodus therefrom is Comparatively
modern invention" Speaking from
statistical comparison of the general
mortality, it is a healthy city It's
natural advantages are enhanced by
the large number of open spaces in
it's midst If the climate is nothing to
boast of, it must be remembered that
"fog is not an atmosphere of poison
Gus microbes" After all, the question
of liveabeness in any environment is,
as a rule, one of the temperament and
adaptability of the individual. Ameri-
cans have braved the dreaded tropics
with comparative comfort and re-
NAMED in perfect health. Manila and
Panama have lost the terrors of
climate, while the Far North has be-
come the field of pleasure-seekers.
The healthfulness of an environment,
urban or suburban, inland or coast
wise, has become almost entirely a
question of personal hygiene and
mental satisfaction coupled with the
Indispensable accompaniment of pub
| lie sanitation.

inasmuch as such municipal meat
markets exist in various cities in
Hungary, it is not expected that the
minister will prevent the establish

Budapest and other Hungarian cities,
prices are adjusted so that there is
a reasonable profit for the city and at
the same time independent establish
ments are prevented from making

Farmhands of Today

From tSe Fort Wayne Journal Gazette
The farmland has been in the past
very stHrdy and dependable type.
As featured in the rural dramas, he
looked rustic and stupid. On an aver
age, though, he had fair intelligence,
and no end of capacity for the days
work.
He was not very ambitious, but was
gifted with a philosophical tempera-
ment He and the hired girl ate at
the first and only table with the fam
lily; the food was good and abundant.
He was sure of his future. AS he
spent little for clothes, and nothing
for amusement, he usually had fair
savings bank account. A farmer was
remarking the other day that this
type is about extinct. Instead, he now
has to depend on rowing young fell
lows. At the best they look at farm
work as a mere stepping-stone to
something else At the worst they
want to earn money for extravagant
spending. Last summer he had a
young man who left him with 500 in
the bank. A month later he came
back and asked for work again, say
ing that his money had all been spent.
In mauy localities foreign speaking
help is all that can be had If you
send them for a rake they get a
monkey wrench. Those that have
much intelligence usually prefer to
buy q little land on mortgage and be
| their own boss. Also they prefer to
remain in the company of their own
people. One is rarely contented I'M
less there are others speaking the
same tongue nearby.

Every baseball enthusiast knows how a
curved ball Is thrown If fast ball is
thrown with whirl. it will fly In
curved path, the curve being in the d.
rection that the nose" of the ball moves
in as it whirls. The explanation usually
given for this action is based on the
Questioning" effect of the air, but this
is not convincing. as the air is too thin
medium to supply any great cushioning
effect unless 1t Is confined or IS hit by
projectile travelling at much greater
speed than is possible in ball thrown
from the hand. A professor of physics
in one of the eastern universities says
the June Popular Mechanics magazine,
in an illustrated article has offered an
explanation that seems to be sound both
from a scientific and a common-sense
point of view.
