The Healthmobile has just complet.
ed thorough canvass of the Eleventh
Congressional District, remaining in
this district for six months. 1t is
hoped that much good was accom-
plished In addition to this unit the
work has been followed by three
nurses, who have visited the homes
of the children found defective. This
followup work should prove of great
value. 1t will take time to tell just
how much good was accomplished and
possibly a resurvey. Nothing can
count, Of course, unless permanent
work can be instituted.

4 Business V,ew of Isolation

4 Business View of Isolation
as the New York Journal of Commerce
thinks that the main trouble today with
the larger trend of American business is
Isolation from the rest of the world-ina-
willingness to import freely, to re-manufac-
ture and ship abroad
This is quite contrary to those political
savants who insisted that security of Ameri-
can interests lay in aloofness from the broad
common currents of international life. Not
by cooperating for world peace and pros
perity, they contended, but by ling to our
selves alone would we thrive and go for
ward. Such was the policy adopted by the
administration that took the helm in 1921;
and such is the course pursued, as far as
pressure of realities will allow, by Mr.. Cool
fdge. To make our excusveness the more
pronounced, this regime raised tariff wall
which would have served well, had the end
desired been to discourage foreign commerce
and destroy our markets abroad, but which
is in fact chiefly remarkable for the hum
dreds of millions of dollars which it adds
to the cost of living and for its utter failure
to afford true protection.
What is to be done? AS practiced
watcher of the nations business, the Journal
OF Commerce answers, 1--WE cannot cure
the evil by greater isolation, but we shall in
tensify it. We are running into condition
of overproduction and accumulation, al
though thus far it has probably not made
great Roadway in many branches-the exact
facts are obscure. Our business community
ought to take these facts to heart, study
the situation from the world viewpoint and
determine what it wants to do. If it de-
cides upon further isolation we must recon-
cie ourselves to great changes in industrial
activity and broad shifts of capital from
one line to others. We must go through an
extensive economic reorganization. If we
decide to participate in the general devel-
opment of world trade we must abandon our
political preconceptions and adapt ourselves
to present trade requirements"
Such is the counsel of business prudence
as well as of humanitarian wisdom. Happy
for America if it be followed!

CRAVING FOR BEAUTY
By DR.. Frank Crane

DOR thing!" wrote woman to me-
p Speaking Of young girl in whom we
were both interested, girl Of talent
and spirit and little money. Poor thing! |
feel sorry for her. She SO loves pretty
things, and 1 don't see where she is going
to get them
The poor thing in question had merely
the spirit of her age. One of the strongest
traits of the present younger generation is
a fierce craving for beauty.
People want to be beautiful they never
longed for personal charm before. l cannot
believe our great-grandparents felt the
chagrin of an unattractiye face as keenly as
our children feel it,
The world today wants beautiful things
more than the world of yesterday. Not only
do women crave pretty clothes and furniture
and back yards, but men wish more beauty
in the office and the workshop.
| You do not understand this in the least ii
you interpret it to mean merely lust for
| luxury, a spendthrift craze for show. 1t is
not that, it is the forthputting of an indie
structible human instinct, which has been
long repressed by other forces and is now
asserting itself.
! The nineteenth century the most won
! derful of all the forty centuries or SO hui
mainly has existed 1t was marked by the
advance of science, the rapid development of
! democracy the final emancipation from
! hierarchy, the Unprecedented growth of COM
! mercialism and the accumulation Of wealth.
1t was also probably the ugliest century
since the stone age.
The Greeks carried the expression Of beau
/ e. how haan
cruel but it was not unpleasng to the eye
in it's costumes and buildings, and medieval
ism was as picturesque it was dirty. But
the nineteenth century was just plain ugly
the world over.
The mind of man cannot conceive an
artistically more absurd dress than SILK
hat dress suit, and patent leather shoes,
wherein the man arrays himself when he
wants to be at his best.
OF women's attire | shall say nothing, be-
| ing prudent man, and married.
Al modern cities are utterly lnartlsuc, al
villages violate every canon of good TASTE
and not content with that, we daub the land
scape with hideous splOtches Of red and yell
low billboards
Now human nature cannot endure this.
1t cannot go on Indefinitely making money,
amassing facts, and merely getting on. 1t
has beauty hunger in it.
Slowly that beauty hunger is beginning
to show itself
We are getting more beautiful chairs, ia
bles houses, streets, and bric-a-brac.
The progress is painfully slow and diff
cult TO discern, but there Is progress
When the great spirit Of Gemocra-
cy steadies itself and gets over It's
youthful crudities and excuses, It will ex-
press its private and public life in clothes,
dwellings, and cities far more beautifully
than the Greek, Roman, or medieval spirit
ever did, because it is intrinsically a far
more beautiful spirit than theirs.
