LAME DUCKS AND

The appointment by the presi-

For some months it has been

provide place for one more Of
his lame ducks.
Senator New, it will be recalled,
ran in the primary in Indiana
against former Senator Albert
Beveridge. New went down in de-

his Waterloo in the November Dem

As Is now conducted, the post

New will be the political steerer
Of his party and will therefore be

Instriking contrast to this comes

a job lobbying" says Miss Alice
Robertson, retiring congresswoman
from Oklahoma, "but | don't want
any lame duck positions. I'm 60

TAKE CARE
OF YOUR BODY

A fifth of the Glass / men ex-
amined for the American army
during the World War were found
physically upfit to perform any
kind of military service either at
home or abroad.
This is the most striking fact
discovered by Surgeon General
Merritte w. Ireland, in his analy-
sis of the examination of more
than 100000 selective service reg
istrants.
One out of every five, physically
unfit even for home duty!
If you are looking for the great
est national peril, there it is. AS
long as an individual has his health
it doesn't matter much what else
happens to him. The same is true
of nations.
Our whole civilization depends
on the national health as its foun-
dation.
Curiously enough, and contrary
to what most of us would expect,
defects Of the bones and the organs
of locomotion, which enable our
bodies to move, ranked first among
the causes of army rejection.
These defects constituted II out
Of each 100 reflections.
Diseases Of the heart and blood
vessels came second, with Is per
cent Of the total. Diseases of the
eyes ranked third. Then came tu-
berculosis.
Rhode Islands bad showing, adj
cording to experts, was due to its
being a factory state with large
part of its population drawn from
abroad where oppression and over
work for generations had under
mined the health. Seems hard to
believe, for the average immigrant
looks a lot healthier than the high
ly-strung native American.
Money-mad America thinks too
much about its natural resources
and industrial products, not enough
about our greatest product-the
human being and his health.
Foreign trade, factory output,
the produces of forest and mine
and even Of the farm-all these
are secondary to good health.
Health should come foremost.
In many ways the government can
help, is helping. But personal
health is nine-tenths up to the indi-
vidual.
Get plenty of wholesome food,
sleep, fresh air and outdoor exer-
else, and barring the bad luck Of
mourning germ diseases, health will
be fairly good on the average. In
particular, the auto driver should

NO ONE APPLAUDED
LINCOLN AT GETTYSBURG

When Abraham Lincoln finished
delivering his Gettysburg address,
10 one applauded. The $4,000 in
his audience merely exclaimed:
"Ohp'-in surprise at the brevity
of his speech. Accustomed to po-
litical orations, they had settled
themselves for an uncomfortably
long-winded talk.
Such is the recollection Of Mrs.
Rebecca C. d. Long Of Somerville,
Mass. She was raised in Gettys-
burg, apd heard Lincoln's famous
address when she was II.
None in Lincoln's audience real
lied at the time that he was hear
ing an immortal piece of oratory-
and probably the finest composition
ever penned in the English Ian
guage, according to many compe-
tent critics.
1t takes the perspective of time
to distinguish the truly great from
the mediocre or near-great.
Most of the really great people
and events of our generation are
not getting much attention. Later
generations will appreciate them at
their full worth and will assign
them their rightful places in his
tory.
The Wright brothers first flight
in an airplane will be remembered
as long as the Wolrd War, posi-
bly, longer, on into time until their
exploit becomes legendary and dis
torted.
Their invention, which enables
man to move in the air instead Of.
confined to the earth's surface, is a
gigantic step forward in evolution,
the same as the first fish that grew
fms into flippers or crude legs so it
could crawl on land, or fins into
wings so it became bird.
Yes, it takes the perspective Of
time to distinguish real greatness.
That's why so few of the great get
recognition until long after they're
dead.
Let's continue Mrs. Longs story
and from philosophy turn to some
thing ridiculously ironical, yet too
pathetic to laugh at.
Mrs. Long recalls: "In front of
the great stand were 10000 men,
women and children, Edward Ev-
erett, who was the spokesman of
that occasion, delivered an Grafton
of two hours length"
After this long Introductory tt
rade, Abraham Lincoln rose slowly
to his feet-and said his say in
226 words, the immortal Gettys-
= burg Address.
Isn't that human nature for you,
that long introduction by the chair
man! And no doubt, when he got
home he confded to his family that
he made the better speech of the
two. Well, possibly he did, at that,
though the odds are heavily against
it, especially since great thought
never hides itself in a snowstorm
of words.

ONCE UPON A TIME
BY Berton Rraley.


The men benignity, greatness and dignity,
Captains of commerce and trade;
Whose mighty ability strength and virility
Make little afraid;
Who work aggressivey, talk impressivey-
Lose Just a bit of their thrall
If can just realize these ideaize
Once exceedingly small!
They don't seem so awfully lofty and vast,
If we can just vision the days of the past,
When John Rockefeller
Was learning his speller
And Henry Ford played with his rattle;
When Ebert H. Gary
Was chuckfu of merry
And innocent infantile prattle;
When William j. Bryan
Would silently lie
The eiderdown quilt of his cribs
When Gompers rompers,
And Schwab bib!
When Lodge the proud senator, vexed his progenitor
Wasn't the slipper applied?
Before Mr. Daugherty reached his majority
Or Taft grew so tall and SO wide,
They acted mischevousy, suffering grievously
Doubtless, for all that they did.
However, group men-cOmmon supermen-
Each of them once a kid
They don't seem so dazzingly great and sublime
If we can just vision that, "Once time"
When Harding creeping,
Or Wilson sleeping,
Wrapped up in infantle dress;
When Morgan, the banker,
With babyish
Would howl all the day, or less
When DENLY and Hoover
Would slyly
For jam for cookies ad lib
When Gompers rompers,
And Schwab a bib!
