Figures of Speech

Not long ago the prime minister OF
Great Britain made a speech in which
be stated views that were more mod
crate than those that had been eK-
pected Of him, and an editorial writ
er in an American newspaper said
that the premier did not intend TO
startle his audience by assuming the
Ercles' vein"
The "vein Of Ercles7 is one of vain
glorious Boosting, or Dragging, or
splitting the ears" The expression
is found in Shakespeare, in the sec

tom says:
"Let the audience look to their
eyes; will move storms: this is
Ereles' vein, a tyrant's vein"
"Ercles" is, Of course, contrac-

held that an ignorant man like Bot.

ancient strong man and hero Of

man power is less than one-tenth of

fifty slaves for each inhabitant Of

SLEEP AND REST
By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
United States Senator From New York
Former Commissioner Of Health New York City

There is no surer evidence of
physical well-being in a child than
progressive increase in weight. II
would be a good thing if there could be
a pair of scales in every household.
Certainly there should be n pair in
every school room and every child
should be weighed regularly. The
weight should be posted and this rec
ord will cause the child to contrast his
present weight with last weeks or
last months.
II is perfectly human to desire 70
excel. Even in the matter Of taking
on weight in childhood, there is eager.
ness to beat the other children.
When we get older we are just as
anxious to take off flesh. get hun
dreds of letters every month asking
how 10 get rid Of excessive weight. But
in childhood there is no better sigu Of
development than gradual increase in
the weight.
There can be no doubt that the
nourishment Of the cihld's body is de-
termined by the amount Of flesh. We
do not want the youngster to be lat
and flabby, but we do want him 10
gain steadily in muscle and bone. His
immediate welfare and his resistance
to disease are dependent on good
flesh.
There should be steady gain in
weight and height. Every parent
must be obseryant Of the growth Of
the child, and should it be retarded
there must be an immediate inquiry
10 discover the reason. It is worse
for a child TO be thin and skinny
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-12-14

than it is for an adult to be more
or less like a living skeleton. In
a sense, the adult has become accus-
toned TO his frailness, but the poor
little. puny child is the ready victim
of accident and disease.
Thinness in a child does not prove
that he is eating too little. Indeed,
many skinny children seem to BE-
made that way by carrying around
such loads of food.
1t is not the lack Of food alone,
but the lack Of air, that causes lack
of development. A furnace will not
burn without free circulation Of air.
Food will not burn and furnish nour-
ishment unless the lungs are fully fill
ed and regularly filled.
Deep breathing will do more TO de-
yelop some bodies than will increase
in the quantity Of food. Keep this in
mind.
Bear in mind, too. that children
must have an abundance of rest and
sleep. Keeping a very young child
up late to 20 TO the movies two or
three times a week is bad business.
This may be the cause Of his lack Of
development.
BY all means weigh the child reg
ularly and make sure he increases
steadily in weight. It isn't bad idea
TO keep a record Of the weights Of MI
the family. Sudden changes give
warning Of conditions which may need
correction. The scales arc good for
everybody.

When some one doing a piece of
work says, "Iet it go; that's good
cnoughw it is generally pretty good
sign that it is not good enough.
IL it were no one would need con-
vincing. I
1 think it was Ed Howe who said
that most new things are largely old
things done better by painstaking
men.
"Painstaking men" is a classified.
ton that fits most of those who have
done big things and made great dis
coveries.
Taking pains is a fairly good def
milton of that zenith of human eff
cheney called genius" Probably the
most prevalent weakness of the hu-
man animal is a lack Of persistence /;
Of seeing a job through to the end ;
Of sticking at a piece Of work until
it is well done.
In the struggle for advancement in
the world two men oftentimes have
the same natural ability and fight
along neck and neck for time. The
one who pulls ahead on the final
homestretch under such conditions is
almost always the one who has trained
himself to take pains.

gon every one has to slay.

OVER LIES HURDLES
Furnishing Many Because Of Few.

TO the patients themselves that they
should be so housed for life.
But remarks that thousands OF hope
less maniacs have been discharged
from the hospitals and are roaming
the streets, free to wreck their mad
ness on innocent citizens, is unfair.
At the present time there are about
$4,000 or 10000 persons free on pa
role from the various state hospitals
throughout the country.
Surely, not every one Of this num-
Der constitutes serious menace in
any sense Of the terms.
For instance, during the past five
years there has been an average OF
some 5000 patients on parole from the
insane hospitals of New York state.
Of this number two committed crimes.
What we need is not a Withholding
of parole but more careful diagnosis
and more restrictions during parole.
Insanity is increasing and every Fl.
fort must be made to cure those men
tally unbalanced.
The parole system helps cure; that
is an undeniable and an already es-
tablished fact.
The parole system offers a wide field
for specially trained social workers,
who would supervise carefully the case
while on parole, thus lessening still
more the dangers of relapse and the
commitment OF crime.

Apropos Of the discussions that are
current regarding the increase OF
crime one hears and reads consider
able about the menace brought about
by the paroling of insane patients
from state hospitals.
1t is true that hideous crimes, in
GLIDING murder, have been committed
by maniacs, paranoiacs and other in
sane individuals who had a previous
residence in a psychopathic hospital.
But it is also true that similar
crimes have been committed by indi-
viduals who were mentally unbalanced
but whose responsibility never was
questioned.
Reasoning from the particular to
the general always has been fallacious.
Making the majority suffer because
Of the behavior Of a few is also wrong
both as to logic as well as common
sense.
Mind you. I am not trying to ex-
cuse any misdeeds Of whatever kind
that have been perpetrated by abnor-
NAL persons.
On the contrary, I hold that all
mentally abnormal and irresponsible
persons should be housed-that is, in
n properly conducted hospital-until
such time as they are cured.
And IL they cannot be cured, 1t is
only fair to the community as well as

Mankind's Emancipation From Slavish Labor

Man had a paradise once, but he
lost it. For interesting details see
the third chapter Of Genesis, and for
poetical development of the story
see Millions paradise Lost"
But, by using his brains, man is
getting his paradise back, for the
"old Adam" in him remembers the
primal joys Of Eden, and longs and
strives, persistently, to replace them.
From the time of the expulsion
from the earthly paradise until about
one hundred years ago the human
race universally obeyed Except per-
haps on South Sea Islands) the com
mand TO eat its bread in the sweat
Of its brow, with which its progeni-
tors were driven forth by the "flam-
ing sword which turned everyday
TO keep the way Of the tree Of life. +"
This is the date set, approximate
ly, by William +. De Baufre of the
University Of Nebraska, in an address
to the Sigma XII Society, as that Of
the effective beginning of the great
emancipation from slavish labor
through the development Of mechani-
cal power.
He reminds US that until then
"the great majority Of men and wo-
men were slaves and serfs." Athens
had four slaves for every one free
citizen. The free citizen did no
mechanical work; he philosophical,
