HIS CONSCIENCE
By SOPHIE IRENE LOEB


 The other day a man stricken with paralysis was laid low and was al- most at deaths door And at the same time he got stroke of con- science which was the best thing that happened.
 It seems this man has treated his children very badly. He would give them little or no help and insisted that they make their struggle alone "as I had to do."
 There are three kinds of parents those who do too much for their children, those who do just enough and then there are those who do nothing. While it is a fine thing to make children realize they must stand alone and go on their own re- sources, yet in this day and age, aviation push or a bit of aid at the right time when it is needed most ought not only to be the duty of every parent but also his pleasure.
 This father has accumulated a considerable fortune. True, he has worked very hard and started from the ground up. In those good old days" when he began the require ments for living were very different from today and it was not so diff cult to save and get ahead because there was little else to do.
 Today there are so many oppor tunities and advantages to be gained that a little help at crucial time is vital and it should not be withheld But this parent somehow Kept his children down. In fact. they were handicapped by being their fathers children.
 As one of the sons told me: When I 20 to ask for help from anybody in my business. that is, to give me just bit of credit or make me loan for certain length of time. they say: Why don't you go to your father| and they get the idea that there is something wrong about the deal if my own father won't help me-"
 This father seemed to take great pleasure in seeing his children struggle. Doubtless he thought it was the making of them, but many times it is the breaking element be- cause often the spirit becomes broken when such unkindness is practiced.
 When this father became sick he had considerable time for reflection. He could not move and had to be waited on hand and foot at all times. He never realized how helpless one could be, and this very condition brought to his mind more forcefully than anything else that he had often | seen his own children as m1Seraple as he was-that is, through their inabil- | ity to go forward they were para 1 lyzed with fear of not obtaining the wherewithal with which to go on. This mans sudden awakening made him change his attitude and he is not only going to be a better man but a more beloved father.
 Instead of waiting for dead mems shoea those children are going to get al, pOa that theV have CraVed SO long and their father will see it while he is alive.
 There are many people who need stroke of conscience like this and the best thing to do is not to wait until you are bedridden to get it.

THE GIRL ONCE KNEW

I wonder where Maggie, the girl I once knew, is frying the k-chops tonight. l wonder who's waiting all ready to chew. (That's slang, but it fits in all right.) 1 wonder if Maggie is forty and fat; if she has eight children, a dog and cat. Oh, golly! l wonder where Maggie is at-sweet Maggie, my erstwhile delight. l wonder if Maggie is thinking of me and wishing she'd once. become mine. I wonder if Maggie still sings off the key and uses that weird nasal whine I wonder if she has that queer little nose that once seemed to me like the bud of a rose. l wonder if Maggie still wears striped hose and looks like stick candy, divine. I wonder if Maggie was wed to that cop who wore the mustache and red ties. wonder-I wonder. but that's where stop. It does little good to surmise. Oh, Maggie, sweet Maggie, you sure were some queen when you were the lily and I the string-be But wait Il must run for the ten seventeen. So here's where my Maggie dream dies.

Thus you see the criropractors OF
Ohio are being prosecuted not by
the people, but by the medical pro-
fessiOn. Chiropract0rs are charged
with practicing medicine without a
license.
Under the laws, as jammed
through the legislature by the medi-
cal trust, it is ABSOLUTELY I'M
POSSIBLE for chiropractors to get
license, and now they are being
arrested because they haven't got
one. Is this fair?
The Tal1ey bill as jaTmed
through the legislature by the medi-
cal trust gives the medical board the
exclusive power to examine chirQ-
practors. Since the medical profes
sion has branded chiropractic as a
fake, by what process of reasoning
can we chiropractors expect to get a
square deaF' from a board that
has already prejudged our case and
declared us takers?
Chiropractic has nothing in acom-
mon with medicine, the science, as

paign of determination against the
chiropractOrs of Ohio. More than
one hundred and twenty-five chfro-
practors have been. arrested recently
in various parts of the, state. These
chiropractors are being arrested,
not on complaint of any private cit
izen but on warrants sworn to by
PAID AGENTS of the medical
board.
These agents are carried on the
state pay roll and are travelling
about Ohio on fat salaries and en-
tirely at the expense of the tax pay
ers. Already the campaign Of the
medical board to eXterminate chiro-
practic from Ohio has cost the tax
payers many thousands of dollars
and the medics say the campaign is
just getting under way" In Cali

well as the practice of chiropractic
being something medics know little
or nothing of. They insist that CHI
ropractors take an examination from
board, composed of medical nen
and medical ideas.
The idea of a license as intended
within the minds of our fore-fathers
was to extend protection to the COM
munity at large against any nefar-
ious business or dangerous people,
and not as a wall behind which any
individual or group of individuals
might barricade themselves and
their selfish interests to the extent
of barring science or progress.
Chiropractic is making sick peo-
ple we'll and as a result OF SUCH
demonstrated efficiency has develop
ed into medicines strongest COM
petitor. And because of this fact the
idea of having chiropractors exam
ined by medical men was advanced.
Why? For the purpose OF examlna-
ton or EXTERMINATION?

Pretty Custom Which Obtains insJapan
When Young People Have Made ~
Definite Choice. z7r~g,

In Japan there are many simple and
sweet customs. The Japanese are
nation of lovers of romance and SYM
bolism. Simplicity of thought and del
icacy of feeding add to the charm and
beauty, of their many truly artistic
customs.
Even in love affairs and in court.
ships this same sweet simplicity ID
observed. The thought is not lost
in compiicating realities and expense.
The young man does not have
to save up so he can perhaps spend
more money than he should to give
his fancee an engagement ring, be-
cause in Japan they do not wear enc
gagement rings.
Z Instead, after girl has promised
to marry the man Of her choice he
proudly goes to the best shop where
the finest silks are sold. Here, with
great care, he selects beautiful piece
of silk and carries it lovingly to the
girl Of his heart.
With this silk the newly engaged
girl makes a sash and wears it tr1'
umphantly. This is her engagement

Little Interest in the Phone,

When the telephone was struggling
for recognition 40 years ago it w"s
the idea of Alexander Bell to popular
ize the instrument by showing It at
public gatherings and incidentally, in
this manner, to gather some coin to
help defray the great expense which
he was put to in tie development of
the instrument Mrs. w. J. COyle now
of Floral Park, Long Island, was liv-
ing in Baltimore, Nd, at that time and
was engaged in preparing for char
ity fair when she was approached by
a friend who was also interested in
the fair and he brought with him the
inventor of the telephone who ex-
planned his scheme. The idea was to
install Instruments at the fair and at
the Masonic temple few squares
away and to make a charge of ten
cents at either end for the experience
of cOnversing over the wire. The in
strument created little interest and
the proceeds were barely worth while.

The chain is long enough to encirclS
