Life's Hurdle
BY L. E. Bisch

I dare say people do not usually
think of physician as a teacher.
The doctor helps us when we are
sick and we tend to associate him
solely with our bodily ills.
However, the physician comes into
the closest kind Of contact with his
patients and in this relationship he Is
able TO give much counsel that does
not directly lie in the medical field.
Take, for example, the family prac-
titioner in rural districts. Not only is
he ready to respond in times Of trial
and emergency but he acts as well in
the capacity of family adviser and as
a trusted. kind and wise friend.
The preacher is also a teacher.
The relation of caurchgoers toward
their minister should be, and often is,
like the relation of children to their
father. He becomes the father Of his
flock.
Merely to discharge his purely re-
ligious duties, and those alone, would
not make Of a clergyman a very eff
ficient minister these days.
He must be more than that-or per-
haps it would be better to say he
must be something In addition.
He must keep abreast Of current
events.
He must familiarize himself with
science.
He must exercise guidance in move
ments for the relief of the poor; the
morally delinquent, etc.
The minister, although first and
foremost a priest, should also be none
the less leader-a teacher.
Lawyers also are often teachers.
Besides defending and prosecuting
a lawyers work should teach respect
for the law.
He should stand for the vindication
of the oppressed, the ignorant and the
unfortunate.
Newspaper and magazine and book
editors are also teachers.
They sway public opinion, dissem-
mate knowledge, exercise an enormous
influence over other minds.
Yes. there are various kinds Of
teachers besides those that lead school
and college classes.
Anyone who moulds. alters or in
fluences the thoughts, actions and
feelings Of others is a teacher.

Escaping the Present
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

If you feel oppressed by the crowd
ing close Of present things, the tent
pole needs to be pushed up.
Longing is the tent pole which holds
up the canvas Of common, everyday

When the world is too much with
you. when all things seem the same
size and you can't see big things big
and little things little any more; when
the commences and drabness and
grayness Of the NOW" presses close
and seems to stifle--it means that the
canvas Is sagging low.
To push It back you need to dream
of the thing you long for; your mind
needs to dwell for a time in the hope.

you push up the tent pole.

Loves Recipe
BY Reed Heustis

Man, as woman oft reminds us, can
be brought to hook
Through the skill with skillet and
the pan:
Tummies rule the situation rather
than the heart:
Love is never packed within a can.
That is so, and if there's some one
yearns to make the trip
Down the bridal path, she'll never
fail
With this formula I give her. Cupid
rules the stove:
The cook is first of all to don the
veil.
Get a slice of ham that nestles pink
and white within the pan,
Let it sizzle till it's golden
Drowned;
Mix some biscuits light and flaky,
serve them piping hot,
Win tne nam, Dut see the nam Ib
drowned
In a tidal flood Of gravy; rich and
Favored, o-ohi
Love will flee this feasti Wen
say twill not.
Aye, if you've a man you'd crave to
fetch unto his knees,
Use this recipe-but serve it hot.
Having polished up the platter he will
make the dive;
Smack upon his knees, light d.
vine
Mantling all his features, as he lifts
his hands to you,
And in a ham-choked voice: "oh
loye-be mine :"

For one transcendent moment,
Before the present poor and bare
Can make its sneering comment"
II Is in these transcendent moments
when we live and dream In the future
that we escape the pressure of present
things, that we push back the sitting
canvas Of the Titles.
Like gnats. impotent, infinitesimal,
maddening. the little things OF life
crowd buzzing about US.
The mind can leave the present and
push out into the clean, wide open OF
the longed-for future and in its quiet
find needed repose.
Afterwards the present poor and
bare will make its sneering comment,
but you have had a breathing spell
and are refreshed.
Those who never live in the future
are the ones who are smothered under
the pressure Of the present.
An ideal, a dream for the future,
striven for. though never attained. is
the tent pole that pushes away the
canvas of the present and let's you
breathe.

Figures Of Speech
Forbidden Fruit.

Forbidden fruit" Is, according 10
Webster, "any coveted unlawful pleas
sure, so called with reference TO the
forbidden fruit Of the Garden Of
Eden" (see the third chapter of the
Book of Genesis.
According to the Mohammedan wise
men, the forbidden fruit that was
eaten by Adam and Eve was not the
apple, as is believed in Christian coun-
tries, but the banspa or Indian fig.
The reason assigned for this belief is
that when the eyes Of the guilty pair
were opened as a result Of their dis.
ccedience, they sewed fig leaves to-
gether and made themselves aprons"
Genesis iii, y.
There has been much discussion
concerning the exact site Of the Gar
den Of Eden, in which grew the tree
that bore the forbidden fruit.

WHY SPREAD YOUR COLD?
BY ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. d.
United States Senator From New York.
Former Commissioner Of Health. New York City.

What do you do when you get a
cold?
Do you take care Of 1t as you
should, or do you 60 around spreading
it ell over the place!
Colds are infectious. They should
be included among the catching dis
eases" The victim of a cold should
consider the right of his family and
associates. Unless he exercises care
there is sure to be trouble for many
with whom he comes in contact.
or course you have noticed how a
little epidemic of colds will run
through a. household. 1t is the COM
mon response Of friend, when you
have inquired about his family: "Oh,
we are well, except that everybody
has had cold"
One careless person will infect his
entire family. some day we shall
have progressed so far that 1t will be
considered shameful thing to be sick
and little short of criminal to infect
others.
Catching cold" implies several
things. 1t requires a little more than
contact with unfriendly germs. There
must be rundown or otherwise
weakened condition of the system.
The lowest resistance of the body pre-
pares the way. Then the careless
sneezihg or coughing Of an associate

by you, the active germ which will
set up in you the same kind Of q cold
he has.
The moist secretions Of the nose
and throat are capable of carrying
the infection of a cold, the influenza,
bronchitis and pneumonia. These Sc
cretions, coughed or sneezed into the
palm of the hand, may be conveyed
directly, or by a door knob or toilet
articles to the hand Of another person.
He wipes his nose or mouth, carrying
TO his own tissues the germs of dis
ease.
II you have a cold you owe It to
your friends to carry a supply Of
clean handkerchiets, or squares Of
gauze you will cover your face and
catch the spray not In your hand, but
in your handkerchief. When you talk
you will speak gently and avoid
sprinkling the face Of the one you are
addressing with the contaminated
moisture of your breath.
Little children must be guarded
against infection Of this sort. A cold
which is Of little consequence to a
hardy grown-up may be serious and
even fatal to a weak child.
Every cold should be regarded a. q
menace to society. When so regard
ed there will be many reminders of
the social obligations resting on the
victim Of this common disease.

Can An Automobile
Be Made Thief Proof?
by ERWIN GREER

(ProSlQenC Gfeef COlioge OI AuLOHlo-
tive Engineering)
The automobile thief is doing big
business of late, and the police rec
ords show a large increase over that
of last year. How then, can the car
manufacturer bring out a more or
less standardized anti-thief contri-
vance that will really prevent a car
from being stolen and what will be
the characteristics of this perfect
lock?
The motorist of today needs badly
a contrivance that can be locked or
unlocked from the car seat by the
driver, or else something that will
automatically remind the driver of
its existence before he starts the en-
CINE again.
Something which merely prevents
the engine from being started in the
ordinary way is of absolutely no use
For example, if the self-starter is dis
connected by the car owners, there
would be nothing to stop two or three
men from starting the engine by push
ing the car with the gears in mesh.
Why not give the thief constructive
rather than destructive work. Let
him build up instead Of tearing down.
Destruction is much more simple
than construction, and it can be done
with most any tool. Any prisoner,
given time and saw can eventually
break Jail, therefore, if the device will
break connection of somesort, per-
haps something that would tempor-

REALITY VS.. INDIv1DUALIsM.

An elderly business man of the
city presents to the attention of the
Free Press editor an article in re-
cent number of the Sunday Visitor,
Catholic publication printed in Indi-
ana, entitled, "What Ais Our
Youth 2" in which ministers of vari-
GUS denominations express their
opinions. The article says in part:
The Rev. DR.. Nathaniel Russell, min
lister of the Rutgers Presbyterian
Church, Broadway and 73rd St., N.
Y, preaching recently on "What
Ais Our YOUTH commented on the
recent scandal at the Hotel Belle
claire, which was marked by young
men and girls drinking from the
TASKS, the carrying out of four
drunken boys, and closing of the
dance. This was not an uncommon
event said DR.. Russell, and was only
symptom of ga generation crazy
for excitement"
The preacher ascribed the present
state of affairs to several influences
disregard of religion and law, bad
printed matters and shows, and mis-
guided education. We quote in part:
"The first of these influences is
the decline of home religion, it's exclu-
sion from the public schools, and the
failure of parents to cooperate with
the church in religious education.
"There is the overstressing of in
dividuality in education. The test of
the true and good is no longer it's
conformity to a recognized standard
of right, but to the likes or dislikes
of the pupil. So trained, the business
man goes forth to loot, the poet to
