those were brave words, meant

been scandal, insane, silly. -
AS whole, we Americans are a
fair-minded people. No American

To The Editor OF The Palladium:

To The Editor OF The Palladium:
Mr.. John F. Brown of Indianapolis
is SO eminently fair in all he writes in
reference to the European war situa.
ton. so we'll posted and we'll read, that
one does not like to take exception to
any of his statements. trust, there
fore, he will pardon me II shall at
tempt to correct him as to his inter
pretation of the German song,
Deutschland, Deutschland, Ueber
Allies" It Is not done out OF spirit of
criticism, but from the standpoint that
men Of culture are always willing to
add to their fund of learning.
Prof. Frantz Hoffman Won Failers-
leben, the only son of the poet, Helm
rich Hoffman, Won Fallersleben, still
lives in Berlin. .Germapy-a quiet,
modest, studious landscape artist,
whose work is highly esteemed. Next
to his art he considers his fathers lit
erary heritage as most precious to his
heart, and only recently while inter-
viewed at the happy occasion Of his
6oth birthday, said the following (us-
ing considerable freedom in the trans.
lation):
My father named the song now
known as Deutschland, Deutschland.
Ueber Alles;" THE Song Of the Ger
mans" Its spirit is not "chauvinis-
tic," or of an unbounded aggressive
tendency, as many people think, who
interpret It's meaning to the end that
Germany should rank and rule first
and above every other nation, but an
appeal to the brotherhood among the
formerly often disharmonious German
principalities. provinces and tribes for
defensive measures to protect their
constantly exposed "Fatherland"
against all enemies. The real meaning,
therefore, Is found in the second line:
"Wenn es stets zu Schultz und Trutze
bruederlich zusammenhaelt." or. IF
protected and defended always
through our brothers love"
The underlying cause for the ia
nous song. as we'll as for Germany's
constant preparedness" for war, Is
it's unfortunate geographical situation

Social Centers

Come to think Of it, it is strange, as the Lo-
gansport Pharos-Reporter remarks, that the idea
Of converting school buildings In to social cen
ters did not take firm hold upon communities
long ago.
Social betternnent movements in this country
have for years been cropping for places in the
SUM-" but apparently the American public now
has well natured idea that it would not be a
half bad thing to make the communities in which
they live as cheerful and healthful as possible.
Young men and women today can remember
when, as children, it was considered almost an
act of sacrilege for them to enter the recess
grounds Of their schools during vacation time for
. rornp Today the "reeess" grounds are known
as public playerounds and the children are en-
couraged by the school authorities to spend as
much time at play, under the watchful scrutiny
Of instructors employed by the school authori-
ties, as is good for them. And the practive of
utilizing school buildings as social centers is fol-
lowing close in the wake of the public play
grounds movement.
The Pharos-Reporter comments:
Logansport has been struggling with the
playground problem and finally has succeeded in
establishing or securing grounds Tor three play
grounds, the Sixth street grounds being notably
successful. But in every ward in the city are
spacous grounds surrounding the ward schools
that for a large part Of the year are deserted,
while the children of the immediate neighbor-
hoods exhaust every device to find place to play
and often have to wander away from the neigh
borhood to find amusement and the means and
space for exercise and play which is as native to
the child as is the air he breathes. Each one of
the school buildings and grounds should be used
as Fairgrounds and social centers for the COM
munity or ward in which they are located. Play
ground facilities for the school campus should
be provided and let the children of the neighbor-
hood stretch their limbs and lungs on these
grounds which have already been paid for by the
people This is done in many Indiana cities, not
ably at Evansville.
In Wisconsin 500 school houses were utilized
in 1914-15 for the community centers Gymna-
siunps have been established and the whole life
Of the community centers and clusters about
these school buildings.

Ford's S Sensible Advice

Eat only when hungry" remarks Henry
Ford, the automobile manufacturer, "and then
eat less than you feel you need"
This truism is not original with Mr.. Ford, but
worthy Of much repetition in this nation of enor-
nous appetites. If anyone will practice such self
denial there is doubt he will discover that he
feels much healthier, even in weeks time, as
Mr.. Ford asserts. = -.
Any individual by cutting down his or her
daily rations one-third will not only save money
but conserve health as we'll.
In connection with a general hospital at De-
troit Mr.. Ford proposes to establish q depart
ment of dietetics. Here is the plan:
People to be taught how to eat.
People to have the benefit of the advice of an
expert dietitian. #-
Less eating is expected to prevent cases of al
coholism.
One thousand private rooms for the middle
class to be provided at new hospital, the charge
for sick man to be So day, including room,
board and nurse attendance.
Nurses to work in three shifts; no nurse to
work more than eight hours day.
