troll. Between Republicans of the old guard

In Praise of Insects

I boil weevil robs the cotton farmer be-
sides hundreds of millions more which
divers other pests strip from field and or
chard, besides the damage similarly done to
forests and to domestic animals, which far
exceeds billion, insects cause the death Of
multtudes of human beingsA In America,
every year, almost one hundred thousand per-
sons die of malaria and intestinal ailments
which insects transmit History records Of
the Spanish-American war that whereas only
some three hundred of our soldiers were
killed in battle, five thousand persisted Of
maladies borne by the fly. So much for the
prosecution.
Now the defense. Declaring that while we
can compute the injury done by insects, it is
impossible to calculate the benefits they con-
fer scientist points out that few fruits
could be formed without the bossom-polli-
mating aid of insects" and that Gin the pro
duction of harvests, insects, especially bees,
dwarf into insignifcance all modern imple-
ments of husbandry. 1t would be impossible
to get single crop of red clover without the
aid of insects; the present scarcity Of bum
Bile bees, who usually perform this service,
is making itself felt in the smaller crops and
lower vitality of the clover seeds" How the
flower gardens would pine without their in
sect traffckers!

MY FAVORITE STORIES
By Irwin S. Cobb


AS he travelled through the Arkansas bot
toms the tourist from the east marveled
at the fecundty of canine life as manifested
in every settlement. Late in the afternoon
he came to cabin set in the middle of a
clearing and halted to ask his way.
The head of the house, a bewhiskered per
son, came to the fence in answer to the
travellers hail and gave him the directions
for reaching the county seat. With him
came an eruption of barking lopeared
hounds; some of them black and tan and
some showing mongrel admixture in their
cOloring.
How many dogs have you?" asked the
easterner.

Halt a Billion Dollars for
Better Southern Railroads

EWS that the railroads of the South
IN are. expendng some four hundred
million dollars for expansion and
improvement Is welcome both as a proof Of
vigor and as promise of service.
The outlay Of so large sum for materials
that come from basic industries and for pay
channels of trade means much to the common
veal. Nearly half billion dollars thus sown
will yield harvests of prosperity far and
wide. 1t is significant thSt funds for this
purpose are sprocurabe; and more so that
they are being turned to swift account for
the general business good.
But most significant Is the preparation
which the railroads thereby make for an ever
increasing volume of traffic. The war years
brought the country as a whole to realize
what close observers long had perceived
that It's transport facilities were being out
grown. A many-sided problem it was, and is;
a problem in which the carrier, the shipper,
and the public have common concern, and
which must be solved for their common adj
vantage EIsewise Industrial and commercial
expansion, instead of making for our enrich
rnent and economic health, will be in the ma
ture of a dropsical disease. Farmer man
ufacturer, merchant and the mllionfold activ-
tiles that cluster about them, all suffer If
transportation be not adequate and efficient.
Hence the high Importance Of the present
nrbuilding of traffic facilities by the railroads
Of the South. Such development should be
fostered by every influence in keeping with
the public welfare; certainly it should not
be hindered by needless or, needless legisla-
ton. That railroads, along with other public
utilities, should be regulated for the common
good is, we take it, no longer debatable. But
regulation, if it is to serve the common good,
must be intelligent farthinking, construc-
tive There were introduced in the course of
the one year, 1921, authorities say. as
many as five hundred and Lightweight diff
( ferent pieces of state legislation touching
railroads Of the United States. Among them
were: a bill prohibiting locomotives from
running backwards; bill prohibiting the
smoking Of tobacco on trains; bill prescrib-
ing fifty miles day as the minimum mov-
ing distance for the average freight car (the
average for the country as whole is twenty
six miles day.; bill requiring railroads
to fence in the entire right of way. One
Legislature, 1t appears. actually passed bill

THE WORK CURE
| BY DR.. Frank Crane

BY DR.. Frank Crane
The growth of an idea the spreading of it
through your mind as the veins and patches
of frost cover a window pane, is interesting.
So spreads the idea of the value of work.
You begin with the discovery that work is
not curse, that it is not something to be
lodged and evaded like pain disease or
death, but it is something friendly and heal
ing and helpful, to be sought as a golden
quest
Next you discover that All happiness is
by-product of work, and that most miseres
belong to the litter of that uncleanest of do
mestcated animals, idleness.
A further spread of this idea is that work
is a great cure.
First aid most obvious among cures Is
medicine But pretty soon we discover tnat
this is far from sufficient
Then come along those who tell US tnat
the cure lies in the will.
This, failing in a good many cases, others
tell us that it is the imagination that Will
lead us to health, that we can be kept sound
and normal by beliefs.
And now comes the work cure. Fortunate
ly it has been taken up enthusiastically by
the hard-headed medical profession and has
not been left to the advocacy of uplltt work
ers and faddists
The long name for the work cure is oc-
CuDdLlOu
that doctors like and is properly Irritating 10
the layman.
TheEdefnition as given by the National so
ciety is: Occupation therapy is method OF
treating the sick or injured by means OF In
struc{ion and emplo. ment in productive oc-
Cupation."
This is but another form of the old COM
mon sense idea that both body and soul will
be healthier if you quit tinkering with them.
This is the negative way of stating the
4I,o &c To
life is half the cure. If we can get our minds
sufficiently occupied in something outside OF
us, everything inside of us takes care OF
itselfs
OF course this is no cure at all, but some
thing to be used at the right place and ttms
under the supervision of the intelligent ply
stefan.
Everyone, doctor or not, knows that d.
version is of great aid in conyalescence and
that depression is the worst enemy to re-
covery. And nothing but our old friend
work, if it is work Of the right kind, better
provides diversion and prevents depression.
On the door that leads out of the cham
Der of morbidity are printed the words, "A
New Interest"
= Of course work to be curative must be
what one wants to do and rot what is
compelled OF do.
In many government hospitals occupation
al therapy has been used successfully to re-
train the muscles and nerves of wounded sol
diers, In insane asylums it has been found
valuable in cases marked by violence and by
vicious habits.
Statistics show the positive economic value
Of the work treatment. Injured men are re-
turned to productive work on an average in
four weeks instead of five, in ten months in
stead of a year. Two casualty insurance
companies employed occupation therapists as
an experiment. At the end of a year they re-
ported that the average period of GONZALES
cence of policy holders had been shortened
by four and a half days.
There be many roads to salvation, and not
the least Of these is work.

pears to such a show, met Emerson, one of
