GOLDEN RULE SUNDAY

An international conference at
Geneva. last September, of repre-
sentatives of twenty philanthropic
institutions, formulated the proposal
that December 2 be observed as In
ternational Golden Rule Sunday.
The observation would include a
menu for that days dinner similar to
that which is Afforded the orphaned
children Of the Near East. and give
the difference between the cost of
such a dinner and tina. usually eaten
on that day to the support of these
international wards.
The condition of these children is
most appealing. They have neither
parents nor country. They are in
nocent of crime and in no way. re-
sponsible for their condition. They
are the victims Of others, in a coun-
try unable to care for them without
assistance and in way to perish If
aid is not obtained. .'
1t is difficult to conceive of condi-
tons more in need of the spirit OF the
Golden Rule than are these; we are
assured Of the splendid work which
the Near East has zone and is do
ing. We should do this thing. The
cneck Tor the amount given in this
Golden Rule spirit, can be made
payable to the order of the Near
East Relief and addressed to Harry
>. Boyd. 80 Exchange street, Port
land, Maine. While doing this 1t is
suggested we keep in mind that IS
per month provides support for one
orphan.

games, is the rule in Central High
school here, one of the largest high

chance for every participant.
The students are cIassined by this
mathematical equation-four times
the age plus half the weight, plus
the height. expressed IN inches.
which gives the index number.
New students are classified and
assigned to their proper group, usu-
ally eight in number. Each group
is in charge of a trained profession
al coach. In addition to the sports
usually found in high schools. Rau
has regular teams In boxing, wrest-
ling, tennis. swimming and voIley-
ball. The school has eight regular
football teams; Is basketball squads;

EAT MORE TOAST
TO CUT WHEAT

/. chicago, NOV. SS.-(By Inc A. +.
Father. mother and rhe children
will have 'toasting time of it,
after December ). If they follow the
dictates of the wheat council OF the
United States, which has announced
a movement to popularize the great
err use of toast with the American
public.
ALI food industries and interests
of the country are cooperating in
this concerted effort to promote,
through toast. a greater consump-
ton Of wheat so that the huge sur
plus may be reduced, the wheat
council states, adding that 1t Is be-
lieved bread consumption can be
increased as much as ~ per cent
by showing consumers how toast
can be prepared in the most appe-
tizing way.
"The wheat farmers troubles are
due to the fact that he has pro-
duced too much wheat" the council
says. 1.-THE American people are
not eating as much wheat as they
did before the war and foreign
countries no longer need the United
States as a source of wheat supply.
During the war the people were
urgGQ TO eat less WucdI, willie IHS
farmer was besought to grow more.
The time has come to reverse the
war processes and until this is done
the 2,235, 600 farmers who grow
wheat cannot prosper"

department Of research and develop
ment of the American Institute of

THE MAKING OF suPERMEN

Our hat remains of to Shakespeare
even II he were but half right, as q
Vienna biologist declares, saying:
mot only the evil but the good man
does lives after him."
The biologist declares that he has
taught land frogs to swim, developed
eyes in blind newsts and predeter-
mined the color Of salamanders. He
proclaims that race Of super-men
may be developed by heredity. by
transmission from generation to gen.
GRAFTON. that every act or thought
of human being become part Of his
body and a part Of the germ plasm
of his children to whom the acquired
characteristics were transmitted"
He would establish the race of
super-men through the gradual elm
ination of bodily ills. the adjustment
Of destructive mental tendencies and
the utmost development Of the Great
i've talents.
He is at odds with eugenics. which
lag says, oCChS " AuPAONc lac 1dCc
by selection, instead of by produc-
ton" and adds; 1.-THE children Of nor
NAL parents, reared healthfully, and
properly educated, will be more near
ly supermen than the children Of a
man and woman mated because of
super-stature or genius"
This ought to make DIR. Paul KAN
merer popular on his proposed lecture
course. Anyhow it is giving folks
something to think about which il
not likely to do them harm a nd pos
sibly may contribute to the making
Of super-men. and with nothing less
may we be content. Furthermore 1t
is fairly demonstrable that If they are

ROOT THEM OUT

NO person, who would accept a boz
gus diploma and attempt to conduct
himself as a physician under it, is
fit to practise even should he succeed
in obtaining a diploma by, proper
methods.
1t may not be too much to saw
that no profession has greater need
of a character which would refuse
to stoop to such rascalfty than has
the medical. The reasons are many
and require no argument in the
minds Of those who have experience
ed the ministrations of a physician
who respected his profession and
himself.
The audacity displayed by those
giving out the fake diplomas to
whomever would pay for them indi-
Gates surprising contempt for the au-
thorities. The menace Of such q
quack operating unmolested is so evil
dent one should expect no hesitancy
on the part Of the authorities in all
states and communities to root them
out without fear or favor.
