Discipline

(Fro,n The Mtstoaulee Jo1rnaD
A story is told of boy from one of the
training camps who returned home for a
visit and overheard his father tell younger
son to fix the furnace. The lad objected,
and the father promised him quarter if he
would obey. Whereupon the embryo SOL
dier remarkcd: Father, the discipline in
this house is perfectly rotten.'
If it will serve corrective to the rot
ten" discipline prevailing in so many homes,
military training must commend itself to all
who recognize the handicap with which many
undsciplined boys and girls start out in
life. The present enforced training of
millions of men, the fathers of the future,
will also have serve On added purpose.
The fragrant lack of discipline among the
youth of to-day, who one sometimes feels,
scarcely know the meaning of the word
"obey," necessarily leads to graver forms
of insubordinaton in other affairs, and the
next step, disregard for law, is dangerously
easy All teachers know that school chill
dren give the measure of obedience to school
authorities that they are trained in at home.
And it has long been notorious that this
measure is often dangerously little.
Unfortunately, the military training our
boys are getting will not materially affect
existing conditions in the home. Present
lack Of discipline, however, will be materi-
ally affected by the training the fathers
of the next generation of boys and girls
arc now getting. And there is promise of
better things with that next generation,
when our present soldiers shall have homes

When the osteopathc profession will have

on the part Of all who seek their aid.
It seems almost unnecessary to have to
insist upon the educational qualifications of

Why Have a Slackers' Club2

~-N's"A VI AHo lIlUuUc.
sir: In to-day's Tribune I read that the
oiackers' Club is open to eaters of meat on
meatless day, and that patrons of public
dining places who insist upon having meat
and wheat on the days these articles are
tapooed may have them served by signing a
card releasing the management from all re-
sponslbllity for violating the pledge given to
the United States Food Administration.
Why violate this pledge?
The old saying Anything worth doing at
all is worth doing we'll" might be changed
to fit this case to Anything worth doing at
all is worth doing up brown" So why not
have the meatless day and wheatless day
rule enforced and not broken under any cir
Gums stances?
My opinion may not amount to much, but
1t seems to me that hotels and restaurants
would lose more patrons by asking them to
sign the aforementioned card than bv their
refusal to serve meat or wheat on the days
that have been set aside for the conserva.

Osteopathists' Grievances
Are They Not, After All, Largely
lmaginarya

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your recent editorial comment upon
osteopathy has elected very interesting re-
plies from certain members of chat profess
sion. DIR. Longs letter in to-day's Tribune
is an admirable example of their usual style,
being rather an attack upon the medical
profession in general for its lack of appre-
citation of osteopathy than convincing
proof of the truth of the osteopathc doc
trne.
Perhaps a few points were left unsad by
DR.. Long. Andrew I. Still, the founder of
osteopathy, at the time he put out his doc
trne was an "old-school" practitioner at
Baldwin, Kan. DR.. Still receives Dr. Longs
eulogy because he did not seek personal
material reward through the spread of his
method of treatment. Osteopaths as a class
might we'll be proud of this, for, while they
claim to number nearly 10 per cent of those
engaged in the healing art in this country, it
would be hard to find group who charge
consistently such high personal fees and at
the same time maintain by their gratuitous
service so few institutions devoted to the
care of persons unable to purchase treat
ment in private.
The oft-repeated claim that it is the "allo-
pathic oligarchy" which is preventing oste-
opathy is, of course, foolishness. Human
nature is not much changed from the time
when Abraham Lincoln said that you cannot
fool all of the people all of the time" Osteopa-
thy cannot be prevented from earning its
just appreciation by the general public As
soon as it proves its claim to universal ap-
plcation in the cure of disease, just so soon
will it supplant other systems and no
sooner.
Modern internal medicine is far from be-
ing empirical; drugs which are known as
specific remedies can be counted on ones
fingers. ! question whether osteopathy is
not the more empirical method of the two.
for careful analysis Of ostecpathic cures
seems to show them to be only too often of
the post hoe. ergo propter hoe" variety.
and their case reports sadly lacking in sci
cntltlc presentation Of evidence of exact
diagnosis and proof that the alleged causa-
tive agent is exclusively such in fact.
The idea that the medical profession bears
the attitude toward osteopaths that .there
Is no good in them" is being carefully nour
shed by the osteopathc practitioners them
selves. hardly dare suggest that it NAV
be purely their obsession (for campaign
purposes; there many persons who will
champion the alleged victim Of an unjust
discrimination without stopping to find out
the true merits OF the case | have not
heard OF the laryngologists, the crtho-
pedists or any other group Of men Certain.

AMERICAN FATS FOR
THE GERMAN ARMY

About July first of this year, three
months after we had announced that
a: state of war existed with Germany,
Washington suddenly woke to an
astounding state of affairs. That was
that the United States was graciously
supplying the entire fat ration of the
German army. Enough fat materials,
either in the form of butter, pork,
lard, or bacon, or in the form of con-
centrated fodder, were exported via
Holland and Scandinavia to supply
daily 100000 soldiers, which just
about represents Germanys strength
on all the fronts. Enough foodstuffs
was going through the same channels
to supply the total rations, from the
standpoint of calories, of 100000
soldiers, which is about the size of
the German army on the western
front. If we figure on another basis,
we shall find that we were obligingly
shipping the Kaiser enough fat to
supply one-fourth of the daily fat
ration for the entire German popula-
tion.-Burton J. Hendrick in the

TODAY'S ANNIVERSARY.

The first Royal Stock Exchange
was opened by Queen Elizabeth BAT
years ago today, Jan. %, 1871. The
edffce was popularity called 1.-THE
Bourse," a corruption Of Latin word
meaning purse. This Stock Exchange
was patterned after one previously
built at Antwerp and was completely
wiped out by the great fire of 1855.
The following year Charles II. laid
the foundation for new building,
which continued the center for Eng
lish traders until 1888, when it was
burned. The new Royal Exchange
was opened by Queen Victoria in
1914. According to some historians.
the founder of the first Royal Ex-
change celebrated the occasion of its
opening by drinking a toast in which
a pearl costing a small fortune had
been reduced to powder and mixed
with the liquor.

HOW IT FEELS TO
BE SUBJECTED TO
AIR BOMB ATTACK

Like a summer thunderstorm drift
ing down the Hudson, an air raid
comes upon London.
There is distant rumbling of coast
guns, with occasional flashes of light
just over the horizon. People in the
streets begin scurrying for shelter.
Those far from home have to decide
whether TO risk dash for it or take
cover in the nearest building.
In a short while shrapneL like the
light drops of rain that precede a
violent storm, begins to patter down.
The last few stragglers get under COW
er, and with a suddenness that startles
the storm breaks.
A great white flash Of light, follow
ed by the terrific crash of a bomb,
Then a laundering roar as dozens of
guns blaze forth. The noise reverber-
ates through the sky and rumbles
along the deserted streets. Electric
lights wink and blink and sometimes
go out. Shutters rattle and window
panes shake with the conclusions
Shrapnel pelts down in a veritable
shower, punctuated now and then
with a more brilliant flash and the
deeper crash of explosives.
1t is the noise that fightens most
people. Tie deafening detonations as
the aerial battle reaches its height
overhead set people shivering and
trembling in their Easements or has
! THY improvised dugouts on the ground
floor. If one stays uider cover there
is no danger from the rain of shrap-
mel and only an infinitesimal chance
of being struck by the lightning of a
bomb.
. Gradually the battle of noises drifts
off to the eastward and out over the
sea. Shrapnel no longer falls, and the
/ lightning strikes further and further
away each time. One can count the
seconds between the flashes and the
rumble which follows.
Windows go up and heads are
thrust out. Everyone is asking ms
l'eighbor:
Did they strike near here? Is it all
cver2"
Traffic is resumed in the STREETS. The
stars come out from behind the haze
OF smoke. The moon bathes the city
in peaceful radiance. It might have
been only a thunderstorm after all.

TO TRAIN LINER
CAPTAINS HOW TO
DODGE U-BOATS

New London, Jan. 2S.-TWenty-f1ve
captains of ocean liners were due to
arrive here yesterday for intensive
training in methods for avoiding
U-boats. This training will be under
direction of United States naval au-
thorities. Three naval officers have
been detailed as instructors, and the
converted yacht OWe-Ra has been
assigned as school ship.
Every captain has a rating that
would enable him to take command
of the largest of ocean-going liners
The course will last all this week in
relays of three days duration, two
DAVIS of which will be occupied with
lectures and the third day to actual
practice in steering the yacht in a
course designed to Illustrate an at
tack by a submarine.
An American submarine will go out
into the Sound and manoeuvre, show
| ing the periscope, and give the cap
tains a chance to avoid an opportu-
nifty to torpedo the ship. The Fulton
is to act as mother ship for the school.
