Spanking the Child.

Is it right to spank an unruly child! Inc
French League for Moral Hygiene registers on
the negative and will appeal to the chamoer
of deputies to revise the French law which
nerr,its a parent to coerce a child by force
DIR. Toulouse, head of the league, declares that
spanking has negative effect and is merely
likely to drive children from home IN adolIoh
to arousing hatreds within the family circle
II is only fair to state that Dr. Toulouse is
bachelor.
The old adage about sparing the rod ana
smelling the child seems to have gone some
what out of fashion of late years Some say
that children are more angelic than we used 10
he: others that civilization has softened US
and the tough minded are losing ground, so
that we have less disciplinary ability than our
grandfathers The psychoanalyist intimates
that the spanking parent is sort of chap who
tries to disguise his foible for torture by say
ing: ut hurts me more than it does you. Since
psvcboanalysis has captured the home this in
timfdating fear and the further dread that spy
ing neighbors might take ones action to sug-
gest the suppression of some act committed N
ones youth have prevented cautious married
folk from applying the hickory stick in the
usual manner and place.
In short, what with one thing and another,
great numbers of our children growing up
without ever having enjoyed the advantages
of wondering whether they would be able to
sit down to the next meal The result of their
spbringing will be known by the time they are
spanking, or are not spanking their own
youngsters.

The American Worker.

That the American worker is the best paul.
een,ovs the highest standard of living and oc-
cupies the highest social plane Of any WORK
ing man in the world has not just happened'
IT has been made to happen, very largely oy
the working man himself, by organized enorI
If ia a mere guess, of course, exactly what
the American working mans status "oulo oo
today If there were no labor unions and never
had been any. But it is an absolute certainty
that he would be at the mercy of his employ
srs and that his share of the wealth his iacoF
creates would be great deal less IMAM 1t -:
And if is equally certain that the industrial
nrogress which has been made in this county
during the past so years, progress unparal-
leled in any other country, would have peen an
iupossibility, without labor unlonlsm. For'
whatever may be said to the contrary by those

If it we're possible night to wipe out

nority OF employers would like to do the en-
blowers would suffer as greatly as the working
men for the effect industry as a whole
would be disastrous. But of course union1sm
is not going to be wiped out either over night
or gradually
The agitation for the open shop, which is
the camoufage under which those who would
wipe it out are operating, may make some head
way because of the abnormal industrial sit

The idea of collective bargaining, which is
the fundamental principle of unionsm, is the
only possible way to maintain that equilibrium
in industry which is vital to its efficient opera
ton. Its benefits to employer and employee
alike so much outweigh the petty irritations
that it sometimes causes, that its continuation

Y That the employers of broadcast vision rec
ognize this and realize that the best interests
OF all concerned require greater cooperation
between employer and employee is one OF the
best signs of the times as it affects the future
Of American industry.
Organized labor yields great power. On
occasion it has abused it, just has capital
organized and unorganized. But the whole
tendency of American unionism is in the direc-
ton of the acceptance of the full responsibility,
which those who have power, owe to society.
The millions OF organized workers who to-
day are celebrating Labor day should conse-
crate themselves anew to the cause of union
ism. not only because of what unionism means
to them and their families, but also because of
what unionism, conducted in the proper spirit
means to the nation.

Cancer of the Tongue.

According to DIR. Joseph C.
Bloodgood of Baltimore the excit-
ing cause of cancer of the tongue
| in a series of $50 cases was pro-
longed irritation by (a) tobacco
and the repeated burns from smok-
ing.> (b) continuous irritation or
slight wounds produced by dirty,
rough teeth or by improperly made
or fitted plates. DR.. Bloodgood de-
clares that in carefully taken his
tories of cases of cancer of the
tongue there is scarcely a record
of an individual who has not re-
ceived ample warning in the form
of some definite local lesion of the
tongue which has been present for
months, and usually years, before
development of the cancer.
The importance of knowing that
such conditions lead to cancer of
the tongue lies in the interesting
/ fact that the only effective treat
ment for cancer operation gives a
, permanent cure if applied in the
early stage in over go per cent of
the cases; whereas if applied only
after the cancer has reached an ad-
vanced stage, less than 80 per cent
of cures are obtained This is
much the same story as in cancer
in other situations - procrastina-
ton is fatal. The postponement of
radical surgical treatment opera
tive removal of the degenerated
structure-even for a week longer
| than is absolutely necessary
amounts to flirting with death.
Good dentistry must be given due
credit as a definite preventive of
cancer Of the tongue. 1t is true
economy, after all, to have the best
dentist, not the cheapest But the
deplOrable habit of keeping brok-
en- or carious teeth or stumps Of
defective dentures in the mouth
merely because they seem to cause
no serious present trouble, is OBJ
viously dangerous habit. 1t is a
strange thing that so many people
who pretend to be clean, se1f-re-
specting citizens, frequently har-
Dor these conditions in their mouth
rather than seek good dental ser
vices-apd these people wonder
! why they develop so called "rheu-
| matism,' stomach trouble" and
all kinds of systematic results of
their septic mouth conditions.
The most common warning of
! tongue cancer, DR.. Bloodgood finds,
is the condition known as leuko-
plakia, single or multiple white
patches or diffuse white patches on
the tongue or elsewhere in the
mouth. When such patches are
present. the use of tobacco must be
stopped at once and never resumed
/ The teeth must be put in the most
hygienic possible state by the den
fist and kept so by frequent visits
to the dentist. 1t may take four

On this particular July evening
! she had just emerged from the

and apparently excited, faced her

to mount the stairs. The young
woman inspected the booth, then
raced after the retreating old fig
ure.
My money, my money. You have

wildly, and a small child Juggling at

1t had been handed to the young
woman by her husband just a few
minutes previous. On hearing the
, ring of the phone bell. and being
accustomed to answering il. she
had slipped the bill into her apron
pocket and missed the money just
a few moments after returning to
her apartment. She had hurrieI /

and-of course, the older woman
had found the bill and was CON
cealing it.
For days and weeks tongues wag-
ged and meaning glances followed
the suspected woman. To all ap-
peals Miss Martha was adamant.
Her spirit was proud. She would
not let these critical people into the
che secret of her life
OF course she was innocent, the
| bill having been discovered the FOL-
lowing day serving as a blanket
. on the wee crib il which the moth
er's small child laid her doll, the
little girl admitting that she had
taken it from her mothers pocket
the day previous. However, this bit
OF news did not travel as fast or as
far as its predecessor. There were
whispers when Miss Martha came
forth, and rude stares when she re-
turned, and by day she worried
and by night wept until nature call
ed a halt
One evening a few weeks later,
Just as the gathering dusk was as
surfing the i'll and the convalescent
or the city hospital that another
day had come to its close, Miss
Martha was weakly repeating the
whole sad story to a sympathetic
nurse.

ed in her queer nasal, and as her
eyes shifted from the scene of this
world to those of the next, no doubt,
the soul of Miss Martha repeated
the same assertion to its creator.

1t had been an especially hard
day on all workers, and Miss Mar
! tina was tired. She was far from
/ youth, each foot seemed weighted
with irons as she climbed the in
cline of the narrow street leading
| to the small lonely apartment that
( she called home.
| For over twenty years life had
| been but a round of work. In what
should have been her playtime of
I life she had awakened to- find her
I fraiI shoulders burdened with a
/ responsibility SO great that she
must seek the city, enter great
store, become nonentity like so
many other girls, and if she felt
the usual pangs of longing that fills
the very heart of the poor girl as
she sells to her more fortunate Sis
! tiers the pretty silks and laces that
! she too Graves but can never have,
no one was the wiser.
! Now she had reached the spin
sterhood of life. She craved moth
! ing fragile or pretty and found her
! only joy in watching a small nest
| egg grow year by year, each year
| bringing a fresh assurance of at
least an independent old age
The responsibility was now gone.
Miss Martha was free. However,
the habits of a life time are not
easily broken, and the instinct for
saving had been instilled far too
deeply for any change to take
place in her mode of living.
Saving she had been, saving she

nickeis were as sovereigns and to

piece in order to ride d distance

be sacrilegious
She lived alone. Every winter
morning the wind buffeted her
small figure around the corner. and
the hot, muggy nights of summer
found her dragging along, coat in
hand, warm and perspiring, after a
long walk from her place OF en-
ployment.
To the neighbors she was a pity
and mystery. They Rjtied her IN
her loneliness and they marvelle,i
at her seeming good nature, for she
had a ready smile for anyone who
glanced her way.

was divided into score or more of

long endure the gloom of the mar

the pay-station telephone in the
lower hall, and an indignant cry
from a transient child, would now
and then break the monotony of
silence.
Each evening on entering Miss

pear.
The second most common warn
ing is an irritated spot adjoining
ragged. dirty teeth. The same
treatment is required.
DIR. BIoodgood holds that local
treatment of -feukoplakia or of the
irritated spot opposite ragged teeth
by X-ray, radium or caustics of
any kind is unwise The cause
should be removed f1rst-the de-
fective teeth, the irritation of to-
bacco. Then, if the condition does
not improve steadily, thorough sur
gical excision including a good
margin of healthy tissue, is the
treatment which has proved most
effective.
