CHILDREN
OUT WEST
BY w. A. McKeever-

10y W. ns uNShCCNSA
A FTER a night Of tossing and
~ rolling on the waves OF
Puget Sound and the straits
beyond. landed at Port Angeles.
Wash, the town farthest West"
Although II Is environed by the
majestic sea, the stately Olympics
and the age-old forests Of cedar
and spruce trees. my chief inter
est in this place of extreme isola-
ton was it's growing generation.
i found the boys and girls Of
Port Angeles normal in all re-
spects-sturdy of physique. merry
with song and laughter, eager for
games and athletics, lured by the
social amusement and not a whit
easier TO manage than the human
offspring OF any other part OF the
country. Indeed, II was that last
named affair. the never-ending
problem of how to manage boys
and girls, which occasioned my
call to this town farthest West"
Now, the significant point to my
story is this: The leading minds Of
Port Angeles, without regard to
party, creed, religious faith or
unite upon a plan for the higher
development Of all their children.
Every faction and group sent rep.
meeting and also acted together
in the selection Of q central coun-
Gil of child helping and juvenile
guidance.
Jews, Gentiles, Methodists,
rhf-iItiap Gntanfi0to 20
Presbyterians and Seventh Day
Adventists all came to assist and
to give up any selfish purpose
that might prove to be in the way.
All the business men came with
an earnest desire to connect them
selves with any possible program
of betterment.
A final step by the community
leaders Of Port Angeles-and q
very new and unique method In
the practice Of growing a better
citizenship-was to request me to
prepare a brief Text Book Of
Juvenile Guidance" with plans and
specifications sufficient to cover
two years or more. Some Of tho
suggestions will be adopted out
right. others will be adapted to
the local situation.
The working motto OF this
unique council Of human service
is that no one shall seek any
personal gain. honor. or prefer
ment, but that all shall be in
vited on equal terms to contrib
ute some kind of assistance to
the movement. Whenever this in
spired little city by the sea shall
have reached it's new standard Of
juvenile excellence I hope that
its achievements may be held
aloft before the eyes Of the ma
ton.

DON'T EAT TOO
MUCH
BY Brice Belden, nj. D.

Turing and after middle age
II behooves us to look more
~ carefully to our oxidation,
elimination and diet. since other
wise what might be called our
cylinders" will become clogged
with CARBON and thus be hamper
ed in the performance of their
functions.
speaking advisedly, since many Of
the waste products and poisons
produced in the course of the
body's activities are actually COM
pounds in which the basic ele-
ment Is carbon. So II will be seen
that the comparison Of the clogged
human organism with the carbon
befouled automobile is not at all a
far-fetched one. ....-
In cleaning out an automobile,
or furnace. you can withhold fuel
and stop all operations completely.
but the human machine can only
be cleaned out while running and
performing all its manifold func-
tons. We can, however, slow the
mechanism down a great deal by
restricting the diet. Then by sim
pie measures we can stimulate
elimination, finally. we can in
crease oxidation, which Is the pro-
cess by which the body burns up
its clogging carbon, through more
exercise and fresh air.
Whenever one suffers from SYM
toms of auto-intoxication It means
that one should go into the repair
shop for a little while. 1t is far
better to keep the human machine
in proper running order by bit
Of timely tinkering now and then
thanto wait until chronic poison
ing produces organic changes in
vital organs and then attempt to
restore such definitely damaged
organs to their normal condition.
Unfortunately. we can not. as yet,
install new parts" in the human
system
Our greatest danger resides in
eating too much. As we grow
older we need much less fuel to
run our engines"

Famous Astronomer and Writer 4
on Scientific Subjects of Pop
ular Interest.

THE Yale University observa-
tory has been opened to the
public on two nights of each
week by it's new director, Prof
Frank Schlesinger. One. of the
domes and telescopes has been spe-
cially fitted up for this purpose.
Admission is by ticket to be OBJ
tanned by correspondence with the
director. Send a sclf-addressed en-
velope, with statement OF the date
preferred. and the number of per-
sons in party.
This is a bit of scientific news
that l am very happy 10 aid in
spreading. 1t is unique and what
Prof. SChlesinger has done ought
TO be initiated at every large oh.
servatOry in the country. In max
ing this provision for the graft
fication of the almost unlimited
popular desire to see a great tele-
scope and to try its powers for
oneself, he has exhibited a breadth
Of view that is not too common
among professional astronomers in
dealing with the public.
The word telescope has had q
magical attraction since the days
of Calico, while there is no science
that can compare with astronomy
in its universal appeal to all mems
minds. On one side it wakens the
imagination; ON the other II salts
flies the intellect. When at night
we turn from the darkened earth
to the shining universe outside its
shadow. we feel at once the phys.
ical littleness of man and the stu.
pendous greatness Of his compre-
bending mind.
And because the telescope is
known to reveal wonders in the
sidPreal heavens, and in the sun,
the moon, and tn" planets, that
lie far beyond the range Of the UNI
aided eye. there is no other instru-
ment of science that people in gen.
eral are so DESTROYS to behold in
actual operation.
1t is true that similar provisions
have, in the past, been made AT
some other observatories. and
James Lick, when he founded his
observatory on Mount Hamilton,
expressly deCreed that the public
should have the utmost possible
use of il, But the astronomers
in charge, naturally enough from
their pont of view, have shown
little incl nation to enlarge oppor-
tunities for the people. Their
object is scientific invest gat on,
not pubic exh. bition.. And the
same is true, perhaps In height
ened degree, with regard TO the
Mount Wilson Observatory, where
il certainly would not be easy for
a non-profess onal visitor to get
a look through the 100-inch tele-
scope.
The fact that this is all as 1t
should be reflects so much the
greater credit upon Professor
SChles niger, n the first place for
maintaining a sympathetic attitude
toward the Intelligent curiosity OF
the public, and secondly, for find
ing way to crafty that curiosity
W thout interfering with the tech
meal work of his observatory.
Wherever an observatory pos
sesses a number of telescopes,
each under it's own dome, the
possibility would seem to exist Of
deVoting one of it's Instruments

OF course an astronomer must be
assigned to take charge of the
instrument and to furnish by word
of mouth the information needed
by the spectators.

Income Tax Reports.

nee my days and my nights

DER this income tax, fearfully
nosy. Now. my sky is all clouded
and murky for, though I'm as
poor as Jobs turkey, they will
tax everything from a cat to
king, and the thought makes my
nerves very jerky. Erstwhile,
when my labors were ended and
tho sun to his couch had descend
ed, I would yodel "Heigho!' and
trot forth to the show, unaware
Of the gloom that impended. Now,
as home from the office I amble,

ramble, for l go in mad haste with
no moment to waste, not a second
for frolic or gambol. For l know
that the sad day approaches when

every fellow must say what he's
sailed away, so l haste to engage
several coaches. AS a child,
teachers all made me weary by
feeding me facts that were dreary;
two and two may be four, but l
count II bore and of math l have
always been leery. To figure at
all makes me scrappy, but now
I'm supposed to be happy when
l delve in cube root and fierce
fractions to boot, making out re-
port that sounds snappy. SO wild
ly l make calculations on the
cost of my clothes and my ra-
lions; deduct 10 per cent of the
raise In my rent and add twice
what l spent on vacations. Erst-
while, when my days work was
over l was merely n glad hearted
rover, for l never had tried doing
sums on the side, so you see
was living in clover. Now l labor
for seventeen hours each day
through the sunshine or showers,
and I trudge up the path of the
highest high math for this nosy
