SHIP OWNERS MUST
PAY FOR MEDI-
CAL TREATMENT

Washington - The United States
supreme court has ruled that ship
owners are liable for expenses for
medical treatment afforded alien sea-
men in American ports, on American
as well as foreign ships. The case
involved the New York and Cuba
Steamship Company.
The company resisted enforcement
of law passed by congress in 1920
which provides that the vessel owner
shall pay hospital expenses of alien
seamen who arrive in this country
and are afflicted with loathsome or
contagious disease. The effect of the
decision will be to discourage the en-
ployment of alien seamen.

Chicago-Political leaders here are
of the opinion that President Coolidge
gained little and lost much by coming
to Chicago to address the seventh an
nual convention of the American
Farm Bureau Federation.
Election of officers for the ensuing
two years and the character of the
resolutions adopted following the de-
parture of President Colidge indicate
that his address influenced the con.
vention only in small degree if at
all.
Farmers Advised to Try Cooperation
President Coolidge told the assem-
bled delegates from 33 states and the
several thousand farmer visitors that
their salvation lay in cooperative
marketing. He frowned upon govern
ment price fixing and indicated that
he was opposed to federal creation of
an export corporation for the DISPOSE
ton of surplus farm products. The
president was listened to respectfully,
but rather coldly, only being able to
elicit perfunctory applause a few
times.
Two days after President Coolidge's
departure from Chicago the conven-
tion elected officers and acted upon
the report of the resolutions commit
tee. Sam H. Thompson, owner of a
50O-acre farm near Quincy, ILL.,, was
elected president, defeating Oscar E.

FINANCIERS WRECK
ROAD

New York-High finance methods
were revealed in suit of minority
stockholders for $200,0O0,OO0 against
former directors of the Denver & Rio
Grande railroad. The plaintiffs
charge that the directors permitted
default on s5O,000,000 interest charges
of the Western Pacific This default,
it is stated, was part of a conspiracy
to wreck the Western Pacific and the
Denver & Rio Grande and wrest con-
troll from the stockholders.

Do Not Seek Federal Subsidy

The delegates interviewed further
said that they did not seek subsidy
and that the purpose was to return to
the government any money it may ex-
pend in creating the export corpora
ton.
A companion resolution to the one
on the export corporation favored the
fostering of an American merchant
marine in order to establish foreign
trade routes for the disposition of
surplus American products.
Although disagreeing with rresi-
dent Coolidge's views in the main, the
convention went on record as being
heartily in favor of cooperative mar
keting. It seemed to be the view,
however, that cooperative marketing
could only meet the domestice situa-
tion in part.

Best Kind of Memory
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

are spoiled because we remember
things that irritate and cripple us.
The only use Of the past is its in
fluence upon the present. And as
far as possible we should forget
unpleasant things or injustices that
have been done us, and seek to re-
member only those things that rru-
duce present force and vitality.
We should be very careful about
the force that lifts up the deeds of
the past and puts them again on the
shelf, or our shelves will be full of
rotting and Anticipated material.
The memory is like any other
mental faculty. 1t should be con-
trolled and brought under the rule
of intelligence. The best kind of
memory is selective.
Of course we cannot always
choose what memory we shall en-
terrain. On an average If a thought
produces unpleasant effects it can
be dismissed instantly. There are
some things which to dwell upon
produce morbid and unpleasant eff
fects. It should be the constant
effort Of the mind to keep these
things out Of the attention.

Does Man Go Round and Round His E

to remain always at fixed points
in the sky whence their popular
name Of fixed stars"
But, owing to the earth's d.
urnal rotation on its axis, which
takes place from west TO east,
the whole heavens, with sun,
stars and planets alike, appears
to rcvolye from east 20 west, max
ing one turn every twenty-four
hours. 1t is this apparent move
ment which the Count Of st. Au-
laire evidently has in mind, and
which he suppoSes to be imposed
upon the heavenly bodies, together
with "the globuIes Of the blood"
and the inhabitants of cities and
countries, carrying them, by "a di-
vine plan" all and ever toward the
west.
But, then, the plan must work
by contrarics. The inhabitants Of
the earth are, through the rota-
tional movement, carried by day
and by night continually east
ward; yet the tendency Of the
star Of empire Ii. e. of the march
Of civilization, or of emigration
and invasion) is just the opposite
way-viz., continually westward.
Perhaps the count would be
willing to discuss the question
whether this singular contrariety
is an expression of "divine plan"
also, plan inherent in human
nature and responsible, the funda-
mentalists might claim, for "the
fall Of man." If there was a plan
at all, then man was destined TO
fall, just as. according 10 the st.
Auiarian doctrine, he was destined
to travel round and round his little
world, like a squirrel in a tread
mill, throughout the wearying CEN
turtles and millenia, always pitted
against the course Of the earth's
rotation, as poor old sisypbus was
pitted against its gravitation in
trying to roll his stone up that
everlasting hill.

physiology which the count might
utilize in defending his thesis. II
you watch a windmill revolving for
a while and then turn your eyes
aside, the ground or whatever You

CHRONIC JOINT DISEASES
BY ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
United States Senator From New York.
Former Commissioner Of Health, New York City.

There are certain causes which
appear to bring on an attack but
it is probable that every case Of
rheumatoid arthritis is due to an
infection. There is no hope Of re-
lief or Of preventing an increase
in the disability without locating
and removing the source of infec-
ton.
This disease occurs in both sexes
and at any age, but more frequently
between thirty and forty. 1t is
more common in women and usually
appears at the change Of life.
The germs of disease possess the
power of "selective affinity" The
particular tissue which appeals to
them is made the objective Of their
attack. The joints are the favortte
battle field of certain types. But
the warfare does not begin there
it starts somewhere else, perhaps
far away from the joints which are
invaded much later.
1t is a great mistake to endure
the evils of pus infection in the
gums or teeth, the tonsils or nasal
sinuses. A chronic running ear, an
obstinate bronchitis, or a diseased
intestinal tract may be the source
of the infection which is beginning
to disturb the joints. The generative
organs may be the chief seat of
trouble.
There is much to do to relieve
the distress of this ailment, but my
purpose today Is merely to point
out the cause. Knowing where the
real trouble is, good sense will die
tate immediate attention to that.

OVER LIES HURDLES

By LOUIS E. BISCH

Get all the education you can,
but realize first, what you're ex-
pected to get out Of it.
If students gave more thought to
what school training primarily is in
tended for they might choose their
gchools and teachers more wisely.
There might also be fewer disap-
pointments after graduation. There
might also be less criticism of col
Ieges in general.
Getting an education is certain
ly not accommodating a lot of facts.
1t il much more than that.
Education is the unfolding and
developing Of latent mental posi-
bilities. The subjects or facts are
employed essentially for that pur-
pose only. What one studies, learns
or memories at school or college is
merely the material through which
the various mental faculties arc
stimulated.
Mathematics, foe example, de-
velOps the reasoning powers better
than any other subject. History
broadens the perspective on life
and enables you to interpret current
events with intelligence. Litera-
ture adds TO your vocabulary, gives

1t is not uncommon to see a man
in a restaurant place a tablet or
wafer in his glass of water. If
you observe his hands, you may
notice that the joints of the fin
gers are enlarged. Or he may limp
when he gets up from the table.
1t is probable the man we are
noticing stealthily has rheumatism.
He may have "rheumatoid arth-
ritis."
What is rheumatoid arthritus?
you ask.
This condition, sometimes called
"arthritis deformans," is a chronic
disease of the joints, resulting in
thickening and deformity Of the
bones. There may be a history of
rheumatism and, sometimes. the
trouble appears to be a family
trait.
1t is difficult to get away from
the old uric acid" theory. The
man who adds the tablet to his
drinking water is probably acting
in the belief that by getting the
acid out of the system" he will
escape the evils of rheumatism and
joint deformity.
The trouble with most Of our pet
theories is that they aren't true. l
think 1 have told you before that
a would-be naturalist defined a lob
ster as "a red fish that walked back
ward" The only trouble with this
description is that a lobster is not
fish, is not red and does not walk
backward. The chief defect in the
uric acid theory is that it does not
satisfy the modern scientific ideas
about rheumatism and arthritis.

The Count Of Saint Aulaire writ
ing in the Revue des Deux Mondes
on the present prospects Of war and
peace, and drawing a heavy bow
across the deep bass Of his prophets
VOL, succeeds in imparting a
thunderous tone to the political
atmosphere of the world-as it
appears to him. Among other
omens that he summons into our
presence is the old legend of the
westward march of empire
which once inspired an immortal
line.
Westward the star of empire
takes its way
His remarks on this subject
are rather curious. He calls it
lie plan diviR thus:
~The divine plan, that co5mic
movement which since the begin
ming Of time entrains the globules
Of the blood, the inhabitants Of
cities, the peoples Of the earth, the
celestial bodies Of the armament,
always toward the west, as if the
heart Of the universe was beating
there"
He applies this TO the dreaded
return Of Asia upon Europe.
Civilization moving ever west
ward after flooding America, has
crossed the Pacific, and carried
the inspirations Of its science back
TO the eastern shores Of Asia. The
mysterious divine plan with its
"cOsmic movement if continued
would involve the precipitation Of
Asiatic hordos once more upon
Europe, and 50 again westward, on
the track Of "the star Of empire"
II is an invidious task to ex-
anime work Of literary art with
the microscope Of science, but the

sion Of the "globules Of the blood
in the fatidical cosmic movement
toward the west is certainly In

the details Of physiology and per
hsps no less so to the adopts Of

As to the "astres du armament"
always moving westward, the count
has mistaken appearance for real

have learned that the orbitsl mo-
ton Of all the planets is toward

In Herbert Quick's "The In

"Our consciousness is shelf in

Experience, who is all the time
setting thereon jars of canned past
called memories. As they are crowd

shelf, fresh from the cannery, the
tins of yesterday are pushed back,
and because there is scant shelf
room for the whole input, they are
all the time dropping off behind

is called Oblivion. But once in a
while some force reaches down to
where everything we have ever for
gotten is lodged, picks up one of
the displaced containers, and puts
it back on the shelf of conscious
ness"
