~ NERYBODY knows in a vague sort of
II way that malnutrition hampers and
- handicaps and hurts those burdened
wit. it. If everybody really appreciated the
extent of the dalIage malnutrition does to So
ciety as we'll as to individuals there would
speedily be the public demand there ought to
be for actioi to safeguard and make readily
available the food supply of the i-ation.
Taxation of foodstuffs would not be tolerat-
ed. Hoarding of foodstuffs for price-raising
purposes would be regarded as the Anti-so-
cial crime it is, and pena lied accordingly. So
would speculation in fOCdstuffs.
Profiteering by producers, wholesalers, job
bers, or retailers would really be checked, not
merely investigated" Prison sentences
would quickly put stop to violations of pure
food laws. The distributions problem would
be successfully attacked
For consider what malnutrition actually
does. Ponder this summary OF it's conse-
quences drawn up by one who has given much
thought to them-Dr. G. Stanley Hall, dean
of American psychologists:
1.-The Lnder-nourished are far more IA
tiguable than the properly nourished. They
have less power to resist infectious diseases
and to recover from wounds, injuries, or ILL
ness.
Their development is more likely to be
arrested before the later, higher stages OF
physical and mental Maturity are attained;
There is a marked correlation in children
between malnutrition and runaways, truancy,
and theft, which often begins in the theft of
edibles. Very slight nutritive defects cause
tro' BILE"
Moreover:
1.-THE underfed mar not only can do less
work and does it with friction, like an
engine only partially fCeled and oiled, but
he becomes more or less combustible at the
touch of any kind of agitator. The
morale of labor of every kind rests squarely
upon the oasis of metabolism.
No matter what policies OF treaties ma
lions adopt, the world can never hope for as
sured or lasting peace so long as its food sup
ply is insufficient and insecure"
Ours, as all except the rich are painfully
aware is an era of high food prices 1t is an
era of food manipulation and adulteratlon.
Also it is pre-eminently an era of malnutr1-
ton on the one hand and social unrest on
the other Between all hese there is direct
connection, lot a mere coincidence. Wise is
the government that will recognize this and
take appropriate action
Though, to be sure, malnutritlon is by no
means wholly a result of food insutficiency.
It has other causes, some of which are easily
correctable by the individuals whom malnu-
triton most seriously affects. To this phase
of the subject we shall return another day.

Astounding Water Falls

~ XPLORERS will always have the
II power to thrill the civilized world so
~ long as men like F. G. Cornell emerge
from the far corners of the earth with such
tales as his description of the Great Falls OF
the Orange River, one of the mighty wonders
of Nature.
The Falls were discovered in 1924 by
George Thompson, who was the first white
man to set eyes upon them, and was the last
until Mr.. Cornell penetrated the South Afri-
can wilderness and rediscovered them He
is the first to give us full and satisfactory
description of them; lecturing recently be-
fore the Royal Geographical Society, he
draws a picture of their astounding size and
weird location that dwarfs our own Niagara
by comparison.
The Orange River Falls are twice as high
as Niagara and fifty feet higher than the
Victoria Falls of the Zambesi river, their
closest known competitor in Africa. Above
the cataract the Orange River is a mile wide
and is dotted with numerous islands, large
and small To reach the main channel,
where the river leaps into dizzy chasm, the
explorer crossed many perilous streams,
where at times he waded in swift water waist
lodges of rock, in imminent peril of being
hurled to death. Suddenly he emerged from
q rift in a labyrinth of granite, to find him.
self standing on the edge of giddy chasm.
lover the further lips of which the huge
muddy volume of the Orange hurtles in one
stupendous spout"
The emotions of Cornell when he reached
that goal of his journey must have been like
unto those of "stout Cortez' and his men,
when, with eagle eyes, they "stared at the
Pacific" save that the vision vouchsafed the
African explorer was too tremendous for &C.
static contemplation. For the scene of the
falls is more inspirative of terror than Of
wonder. All about are nothing But uneven,
shattered rocks, frowning buttresses and
swimming prec.pices. The smoothly cniseled
wall of the chasm gives sheer drop into
nothing-a darks forbidding nothing, cloudy
with spray and mist, with not crevice to
give a foothold for even chimpanzee.
1t is said that no man can approach the
Orange from the lower end to stand there
and behold the majesty of the great falls.
Some day, when modern engineering bridges
the thasm and tne can behold he Orange, i'll
full flood, hurtling into the chasm, it will be
a mecca for tourists such as the Pyramids or
Niagara never were.

Georgia has many educational institutions
OF which she has good reason to boast and
boost, but none more useful than the Geor-
gia Tech, concerning which the Jackson
Progress Argus SAYS:
1.-THE fact that the Georgia School Of
Technology is to launch a camlaign to raise
five million dollars will be of general inter-
est. Right here in Georgia we should have
the greatest chronological school in the
country. To contribute to this fund is SIM
NV an investment in efficiency and greater
industrial DEVELOPMENT. Georoia is shame-
frllv behind on matter of education. We
m"st get out of the rut."
The Progress Argus is right. The Georgia
Tech should be Americas greatest technoloe-
cal school. 1t has long heen achieving a
great work. but its possibilities are almost
unlimited. Get behind the movement for q
greater Tech and push.

The Iron Doc

W 900 digs up some buried s city Of the h,
year 1921 he may find among the
relics Of subways and skyscrapers, old cafe
terias and taXicabs, curious creature which
he will probably cite to his contemporaries
as an example of the art and culture of
Twentieth Century Man.
This will be lOthing less than the remains
OF an iron dog, greyh )und in the attitude
of leapng fence mayhap, or a gallant ST.
Bernard with uplifted, watchful nose. If the
soil of centuries has preserved the surround
ings of the iron dog, the archaeOlogist may
reconstruct scene of spiked fences and high
steps and broad walks through sweeping
lawn of which the iron dog was the center.
And he will say, no doubt, "See-Twentieth
Century man was so devoted to his pets that
he made statues in their memory"
In all of this he will be more less cor
rect, but it is the sons and daughters of the
elder genera on of today who realize it, not
their children. For the iron dog already is
vanishing into the limbo of forgotten things,
along with the iron deer and the iron lion
and the white statue oil Venus in the foun-
tain. He has gone the way of the hitching-
post and the brass knocker, the spinning
wheel and the grandfather's clock.
Time was whe, no home of any pretensions

to the junk heap. He found a temporary

and the dealer in old ron carted him away.
One would like to know, in truth, the fate
of all the iron dogs and iron deer of yester-
day-what modern machinery their skeletons

sections of the citv they adorn now with

Maine Ranches

Chaps and lariats may be common sight
in Maine If the experiment in beef raising,
successfully conducted near Jefferson, attains
the proportions planned by a number of
farmers who are turning stockmen. The
boast is made that Maine can produce bet
ter and cheaper beef than the western ranges,
besides utilizing thousands of acres of prac-
tcally waste ground.
About eighteen months ago one stockman
near Jefferson purchased $500 acres, after
a long study Of pasturage conditions, and in
stalled thereon forty-four head Of pedigreed
cattle. The group now consists of one hun
dred beeves.
The first consignment of veal from this
ranch" soon will be distributed throughout
the state, with the cooperation of the State
Chamber of Commerce and Agricultural
league and industrial bureau of the Maine
Central railroad Experts who have seen the
meat product say that it compares favorably
with fancy Chicago output and predict a
rosy future for stock raised in Maine.
Maine, according to statistics, produces
only one-quarter of what it eats. A move
ment has been begun to increase several
lines of production, and efforts will be con-
centrated on the cattle raising branch. The
program now under way calls for the restock-
ing of neglected farms with hardy beeves
which will wax fat on many of the stubborn
tracts of the Pine Tree State.

he had taken her to a chop suey restaurant,
