"Junior" Learns About Plantlgrades

To the Editor Of the Epcnino Public Ledger:
Sir-IIow many readers of the
Peoples Forum know the meaning Of
the word "plnntigrade, often used in
the science of zoology. and how many
can tell the origin Of the word?
Well. listen. 4 wise friend of mine
told me all about it while we were
moseying through the Academy Of Nat.
ural Sciences. The classic origin of
'plantigrade" is the Latin "rIanta.
the sole Of the foot, and "gradus, ~
meaning step.
An animal classified ns planti-
grade, my learned friend told me, is,
therefore, creature that walks on the
soles Of it's feet. like bear or ccr-
tain species of monkeys.
The species homo. with the cxcep-
tion Of the man or woman with II
broken instep. or with so-callcd fiat
feet is not. however, properly speak
ing. n plantigradc. because he or she
does not walk on the entire. or nearly
the entire, sole Of his or her foot.
The high instep saves men and
women from being designated as planti-
grades. JUNIOR.

been few and far between, with long
periods of peace intervening. which,
according to miitarist calculations.
should have undermined the national
fiber. Yet the quality of American
troops. hastily collected from civilian
life, has always compared favorably
with that Of miitarized nations.
Our militia system shows that there
will always be certain amount of
youthful energy that takes naturally,
and without compulsion, to military
training. The rest prefer athletics or
other kinds of physical exercise:
Whether compulsory military drill
would improve the virility Of tho aver
age young American is at least an open
question. We may or may not need such
system, but we surely do not need

ON CHRISTMAS EVE
By w. l.. Noll
On Christmas Eyo go to bed
AZ early as can be.
And hang my stocking at It's place
So Santa Claus can see.
And then Jump into my p-n.
Ana mamma tucks me tisht.
And th'r she turns my lttle head
And Kisses me good night.
Thnn listen closely
TO Ecac tho Jinsl!ng bells
And her thr cat purring costly
While mamma story tells.
When ont upon tho lawn 1 near
Tho prancing of the hoofs:
Tho sky Is light and clear ana blue
When SantI Is on the roof.
Thcn down tho chimney Santa comes
And f!ls my little sock
with drums and toys and little air gunA
Then softly turns he lock.
Then rD the chimney Santa goes
And scampcrs TO his sleigh.
Tho w!nd br"ina to shrek ana blow
And the reindeer fly away.

ManIacs at Automobile Wheels

To the Editor Of the Ercntng Public Lcd0cr:
Sir-The latest from Mayor Lew
shank, of indianapolis, that sagacious
official whose methods have won the adj.
mlration of common folk all over the
country. is that Il sanity test will be-
gwen to all pei sons arrested for speed
ing. Persons arrested and held for
examination by the Sanity Commission,
the Indianapolis Mayor says, will be
held in Jail in padded cells until they
are examined. the State law provid-
ing that persons held for sanity tests
cannot give bond.
This recalls that in the early dnys
OF automobling an English physician
declared that the craze for speeding
was II new but distinct type OF
mania.
Mayor Shanhs' ukasc and the Eng.
liSh DOCTORS dictum were both viyijly
IN my mind as | tried to get across the
street at West Philadelphia cross
ing this morning about . O'Clock, 7
made 1t in safety at last bat OH. what
narrow squeak it was.

Not a Sure Sign Of "EHeninaey"

Not a Sure Sign OF "EHenlnacy"
To the Editor Of the Evcnino rrl!tc Lcdoer:
Sir--Universal military training for
the youth of the Nation no doubt would
be Il good thing, in many respects, but
it must rest on other arguments than
those Of college president. who de-
mands compulsory drill in order to save
the Nation from becoming ''etfcminate"
in view Of pacitist preaching against
all wars.
Now, the danger Of pacihsm and the
danger from "cffeminacy' because of
lack Of training are two very different
things. Without admiring the pacifist
and the conscientious objector, II must
be said that man may object to mill
tary training without being etfcminnte.
The motive of objectors is not neces.
sarily cowardice; in fact. it has been
claimed for many Of them. BY their
friends, that they showed exceptional
courage; 1t must be said. how.
ever. that such courage would be more
useful To the country II ii took the on.
positc DIRECTION. In the last wnr, our
line of defense happened to be on for.
elgn soil. but it may be suspected that
if it ever came to an invasion of thi,
country, even q convinced pacifst might
conclude that it is better to fight for
I" he principle of non resistance,
With regard to alleged cffcminocv
from lack of training, this argument
harks back to the fallacy Of the nccc~.
Sty Of standing armies. Now this
country and Great Britain are two iy.
ing examples of great and powerful
nations traditionnlly opposed to larg,
standing armies and yet returning M.
impaired virility in an emergency. Wars
in American history, fortunately, have
