Explaining that downward trend
in retail food prices ordinarily was
shown during the first two months
Of the year, Mr. Palmer said it was
the hope Of the Government "that
this trend will be accelerated this
year by the campaign initiated by
the Government, which is just now
getting well under way"
Although statistics compiled an
nually by the Government show that
in previous years retail food prices
increased during the fall months. Mr..
Palmer said that "since August, this

in the wings with worried look on his
face as he calculates the weeks bill for
eight Sunday dinners.
In the last act breakfast is served
with real ham and eggs, and those who
sit in the first row get Whit of the
steaming hot coffee that John Lannigan

served each night.
But the play does not entirely de-
pend upon food for realism. In the last
act there are lighting effects which make
for complete illusion. The impressive
scene from which the play derives its
title is a fine piece of stage craftsman

is bewildered to find it nighttime.

A Sportsman After All.

Hawker made sad mistake when in his chagr
he spoke sightngly of the American transatlantic
flight The true sportsman always politely praises the
victor, however keen his disappointment and it
should have been easy for Hawker to do this because
he knew that though he had failed of his object he
had succeeded in doing an extremely daring
and very wonderful thing. When he real
lied his error, which he did the more
promptly because of the manifest dsapproval of
the sporting English public, Hawker published lame
explanation which did not help him and perhaps even
made bad matter worse.
But the daring and misguided Australian made
amends and re-established himself when Lieutenant
Commander Read of the NC reached England For
then Hawker the first greet and congratulate his
victorious rival When two American doughboys lifted

WHY NOT DECLARE WAR ON DISEASE?

The current number of one of the popular month
ly magazines Good Housekeeping carries an article
by DR.. Thomas D. Wood, who has been Professor of
Physical Education at Columbia University since 1908,
from which we quote the following startling state
ments:
''At least one per cent-20O, 900 of the 20OO0,O00
school children of the United States-are mentally
defective.
Over one per cent-25O,OOO at east-of the chill
dren are handicapped by organic heart disease.
"At least five per cent 900 ,000-have now, or
have had tuberculosis danger often to others well
as to themselves,
Give per cent 900 900 of them-have defective
hearing which unrecognzed gives many the undeserved
reputation of being mentally defective.
twenty-five per cent ,OO0--of these children
have defective eyes Surely it more humane and eco
nomca have pupils eyes tested and eyeglasses pro-
vided than to leave children handicapped and back
ward. Yet majority of these children have received
no attention.
"About twenty-five per cents, OOO, 900 children
suffering from malnutrton and poverty is not the
most important of this serious barrier to healthy
development.
"From fifteen to twenty-five per cent-3,0O0 900
to 50OO OOO-have adenods diseased oAsils, or other
glanduar defects Adenoids and diseased onsis make
backward pupils and interfere with the chd's general
development and health. No sentiment superstition
should be allowed to prevent remedial measures.
From ten to twenty per cent?, 100000 to 4,OO0,
0OO-have weak foot arches, weak spines, or other
joint defects
"From fifty to seventy-five per cent-10,00o
600 to 150O0 00O-have defective teeth, and defective
teeth are less injurious to health Some of these
defective teeth deadly menaces to their owners

cal defects which potentially actually detrimental

1t because we so sadly neglected our mani
