New York. July 29.-As if it we're
/ not bad enough to have the temperature
high with humidity away above normal
along ome an uptown clergyman with
the suggestion that we should al! get
together and bang out a really national
anthem. America and the Star
Spangled Banner" are all well enough,
according to the Rev. DR.. Robert wat
son of the Second Presbyterian church,
but We ought to have something nobler
than either of these. Settle down, on
a cake of ice before an electric ian
with a glass of--oh. well. lemon
ade-at your elbow and crash forth
into a really inspirational thing that
shall guide our steps through wal and
peace.
You've no idea how many people feel
willing and able to indite a national
anthem. and if you feel that most of
the 'inditers" ought to be induced we
shan't pick any fight with you. Some
body in Boston has sent the Rev. DR..
Watson a few verses about Sailing

An earnest New Yorker has done his
bit in rhyme to the end that we now
hail our motherland because too long
have we served greed. But what do

Look at a Dollar Now
Well say it does. Look at what a
dollar used to buy and now consider
the darned thing. "The reign of love
is coming on" Ooh, OH, It's there our
future lies" And one might add with
not too great originality, lies and lies.
One must be grateful these sultry days
to the energetic clergyman. He has
given US something to do with our
warm afternoons.
If, however, an animal should ex-
press the true spirit of a country why
not simply adopt one of the songs with
an universal appeal which now exists?
For example. the Prohibition Blues:'
Or indeed. Look Out Here Comes the
Police"
But a truce to levity. A national
anthem is nothing to jest about. And
neither is prohibition. Which brings
us gracefully to the information that
the deaths from alcohol in New York
city have increased 81 per cent over
those for 1921 and 50 per cent over
those for 1920. This is not due to lax
ity on the part of enforcement agents,
a band of whom halted a hearse seven
times the other day to search it for
LIQUOR and even followed it to the fun
eral without getting anything more
illegal than a black look from the
mourners.
Taking the trip from death TO health
in one Jump, let us consider the prize
winners in the Mulberry community
house health tournament" Mulberry
Bend contains everything the young
child should not have-crowded tene-
ments, crowded streets. a foreign pop
ulation more or less Indifferent to
American standards of existence. Yet
the health contest left the authorities
exactly where it found them. One OF
the winners OF the first prize, a boy
of five years. subsists principally on
macaroni. The other first prize win
ners live on eggs and milk as a child
should. One of the winners of the
second prizes also eats scientifically
but the other second prize winner eats
"wha. she likes and what she don't like
she don't eat" All of which goes to
show nothing. Meanwhile art has joined
science in a determined effort to make
the East side %youngster even health
Ter than he is. The American insti-
tute of architecture has already design
ed wading pools and it is now engaged
in trying to get the city to install them:
The pools as designed are wide and
shallow with marble rims from which
