SPEED CRAZE

A safety first enthusiast writes: why was so mucn
attention paid to the wreck Of the Twentieth Century Annaeu,

The answer is, the big train wreck was spectacular. twas
the wreck of the train, rather than the actual loss OF me- lha'

The Twentieth Century wreck was an international STORY,
for this train ~symboizes the Speed Idol, so widely Worshipeo
in our generation. This train is famous all over the world
principally for its speed, since the average person gives SEE.
ondary attentions to the trains comforts and the services IL

Ours is a nervous generation, impatient, restless, eager 10
be I'D and moving. Many individuals are about as speedy as
as molasses in zero weather. But the national tendency
is toward speed.
People rush their eating, gulp their meals. They may
move deliberately, but in the main they are ever on the look
out for shortcuts of methods and mechanism that Will hurry
their work. They even rush their observation-disclosures leav-
ing the theatre before the final curtain, as If getting to the
exit ahead of their ~neighbors were a meand-death matter.
All this worried rush, of course, is an indication of diseased
nerves lather than impulsive industrjousness or desire to ac-
complsh.
Occasionally we are reminded, by a catastrophe like the
Twentieth Century wreck or an auto crash, that speed has its
price. The real and greater price is shattered nerves and ex-
istence made unnecessarily wretched and disagreeable by
hurry without motive.
The man with Speed Mania must be a great admirer OF
the inventor of the automobile hearse, which certainly is
Speed Plus.

@. Since Germany has issued a
new currency, why doesn't the state
of the mark improve? A. M.
A. The German government has
issued a new currency which is
backed by metal. This, however, is
for internal use only, so it viii be
some time before it will affect for

@. Where can I get details about
the cancer cure that DR.. William
Henry Veno has discovered? II. S.
A. The American Society for the
Cure of Cancer says That Sir Will
liam Veno, who has made large
gifts to further cancer research
work, says that the statement pub
lished in papers quoting him as say
ing cancer research doctors in Lon
don had discovered the cause of
cancer, was IAN entire ~r-.squota-
ton. He said he had Inc ely

cancer research was going on in the
British capital but that he knew
nothing about a cure or the cause
of cancer having been discovered.
@. Does the post Office counter
ance stamp machines? A. @.
A. The post Office department says
that it does not permit stamp slot
machines to be placed on postal
premises, inasmuch as in post offices,
stamps can be sold for their face
value only. However, the dep,rt-
ment does not prohibit the use Of
them in their own establishments.
Q Was there ever 81 time prior to
the present when sculptors colored
their marbles? S. D.
A. The sculptors of classic end
medieval times practiced this Gus
tom. In the case of sculptors in the
grand style, polychromy was not
abolished from sculpture until Mich

tique statues which had been lshed
white by the rain were discovered
and their beauty caused the custom
of coloring marble to fall into KS

@. Why do chains drag on the
ground On gasoline trucks? G.. S.
A. The chain is used to free the
truck from static. Static electricity

The dragging chain grounds any

Health Talks
Music as Medicine

MUSIC as MeuIC1nc
In the New York Nursery and
Child's Hospital, good music will
henceforth form a part of the regu-
lar program. AS a result of musical
treatment in this institution during
a recent period of sixty days, it was
quite definitely established that its
value as a curative and restorative
agent was very marked. The test
was tried at first with mothers in the
maternity wards but also with the
babies and sick children.
The tests have demonstrated that
music of the right kind has a mark
ed therapeutic effect on the spirits
and general morals of these hospital
patients. Music seems to create a
desire to get well and enjoy the
promised hope music instills in their
souls.
Just what 1t is'in good music that
causes patients to sit up and take
notice or to forget for the time be-
ing, and undoubtedly for a much
longer period, the pain that is gnaw-
ing at their vital health condition is
hard for a physician to diagnose.
But this we do know-the heart
beats faster in full health when a
brass band strikes up a stirring
march. The same holds true when
we are Ill or convalescing. Mothers
song of other days brought peace to
the heart of childhood when she
sang away the pain of cuts, aches or
bumps.
There is a peculiar gland action ir
the human body hat responds to the
stimulus of music. The pituitary
gland of the %sphenoid bone in the
Uranium has been accused of sending
out the stimulus in music to which
the body responds during periods OF
depression for renewed hope, health
and happiness. Medical science Is
not so sure of this, however, but lei
us hope it is true.
This situation is a positive one

butler showed him into a small but
well-filled library on the left Of the
lobby.
Refreshments were set invitinglS
upon a table beside a deep lounge
chair. But Harley declined the
mans request to refresh himself
while waiting and began aimlessly
to wander about the room, appar-
emily studying the titles of the works
crowding the b~ookshelves.
Now, upon his musing there sud
denly intruded sounds of a muffled
altercation. That is to say, the
speakers, who were evidently in thu
lobby beyond the library door, spoke
in low tones, perhaps in Difference tC

was only mildly interested, but the
