l don't really think, Leslie, that
Mrs. Prescott is as old as I am, but
she looks much older. 1t is probably
because she has always thought of
no one but herself. l hope will
never get to the point where I think
the world revolves around me. 1t is
a sure sign Of senile old age.
As l watched Mrs. Prescott that
morning l wondered if she knew
that she was revcrting to second
childhood.
You probably have learned, Leslie,
in your own babies that a child is
the most self-centered human in the
world. He pays no attention to any,
thing around him, unless it is some.
thing which happens to attract him.
This is also the case with an old
person. In the case of the old, how.
ever, this selfishness is most annoy
ing.

censorship is the last thing in the
world the theater should invite.
The censor is always arbitrary,
rarely artistic. and usually stupid,
Nobody wants him. But art does not

Not Too Much For Good Work
There are bills before Congress
to raise the pay of members from
$500 to 100000, and before the ILL
nois Legislature to raise its pay
from $4,000 to $4,000
Neither sum would be too high
for good legislative work-if that
were what We got. ,r..
Nothing at all is much too high
for some of the legislative work we
have been getting.
A Congress that would quit log
rolling and cooperate in real econ
omy would be cheap at $4,000 a
year, or twice that.
In fact, million dollars year
apiece would be low estimate Of
what congressman are costing us
now, by present methods. The SAL
airy part ofptheir cost is negligible.
Cities Contribute Less To Good

play calls for such whole souled eff
forts on the part of an actor or ac-
tress, the prospect of expressing the
same degree of affection in private
life toward the same person with
whom you have just expended every
atom Of artificial love expression you
possess in play. is too great Il
strain on the emotions"
That's pretty fair story, but it
reminds of what George Arlss re-
Gently said. Said he, "lf an actor
really lived his part he very often
would find himself acting out in the
middle of Times Square while his
audience would be facing ian empty
stage"
There's an occasional smile in
the stories that come out of the
theatrical offices. For instance,
Mary Newcomb is quoted as saying
that she really feels the part of the
street walker she plays. She knows
how one Of those creatures feels be-
cause she went to Chinatown and
walked the sidewalks on a rainy
night.
1t is to laugh. Chinatown is the
last place in all New York where
such character would be found,
and on a rainy night l doubt if one
could be found in all the streets Of
New York.
Patrolman Oscar Hettler is said
never to have been seen on duty
without smile. He tends traffic at
Lafayette and Grand streets. A year
or so ago he won a fine big home at
Forest Hills in popularity contest.
Now he's trying to keep it and Il
family Of five children on cops
salary. Despite that, he's still sm:l-
ing.
On the crest of hill overlooking
the Hudson, just above what is now
182nd street, several Of the most
important engagements of the Revo-
luton were fought. Fort Washing
ton stood there and it was occupied
first by the Americans and later by
the British. Apartment houses now
surround the site and unless the land
is purchased by private money or
public fund it will be covered entire
ly with modern apartment houses
within the next year or two.

Heart trouble kills more people
than tuberculosis, more than cancer,
apoplexy, pneumonia or Bright's
disease.
In addition there are thousands
suffering from some kind of heart
disorder. 1t is estimated that more
than 100000 persons in the United
States are subjects of serious heart
defects.
tuberculosis once was the prime
killer. The anti-tuberculosis cru
sades throughout the country have

ON HEALTH
HEART TROUBLE

Neither Mr.. nor Mrs. Jones were
upset very much over what the doc
tor told Mr.. Jones about his heart.
Both we're tiekled, and could hardly
realize that they were not more scri-
ously ailing with some sort of mall
ady.
The hint Of possible heart weak
ness, however, stirred their interest,
and they began study of the heart,
its troubles and what to do. to keep
from dropping dead" suddenly as
folk do in the papers.
Their interest was heightened
when they learned that heart trou-
bic is responsible for one-ninth OF
the deaths at all ages, and for one
sixth of the deaths in persons Of
40 and over.

The constitutions of all the states
call for reapportionment after
Zach census; but here it is 1925, and
.he reapportionments of 1920 are
not yet made.
The "cow counties" are deter
mined that the cities shall not have
the representation which the con.
stitutions give them, even though.
in some states, that Is already less
than their numerical share.
| Partly it is, of course, a rccog-
milton that the country has certain
primary interests Independent of
population, which it is not willing to
have subject to city majorities.
Chiefly, it is feeling that the(
country Is fit for self-government
and the cities are not.
There ia a shocking amount of
evidence for this startling assertion.
In every state where there is great
city the legislative representa- JON,
of that city is and always has been
the worst in the legislature.
| The cities have contributed much
less than nothing to good govern
ment in the states. and much less
than their share to the nation.
Nevertheless, we must face the
fact that this is fast becoming an
urban nation, and that, unless the
cities become fit to participate in
sclf-government. the nation will be-
come unfit for it.
For better or for worse, we are
going to be governed by our cities.

sentaton.
Then we can begin some needed

make that representation fit.

Now he will enter the Yale law
