Experience.

Experience is the greatest of
teachers" Quite true. And the his
tory of the world tells us that there
has been a line of great teachers, but
that humanity is still largely un-
saved.
Experience, as experience and
nothing more. is Just an empty geS-
ture. For the moment it filled .
space and then passed OH leaving
room for the next experience. and
the next. and the next, until the last
great experience brought sleep final
and lasting.
For it must be remembered that

useless. A child touches fire and is
burned. Unless he understands that
it was the flame that hurt him he
viii touch it again and again, until
he does understand. Fire is so pain
full and so immediate in its punish
ment that the most elemental mind
learns TO respect it and when we
discover one who does not, we know
that his mind is dark and he must
be confined to bounds and guarded.

rarely the same quality all the way
through. Often they are fine in some
parts and very poor in others, so
that we say. He has a blind spot
there"
If experiences are faced toward a
blind spot it is going to be hard
to teach the child through that set
of experiences. AS soon as you dis
cover that certain set of appeals
are ignored again and again shift
your point of attack and come at
the thing from behind. or alongside,
or even from the underneath. Set
another set of brain cells at work
in the hope that they will waken the
ones you are sure are so dull.
This is a tedious way of saying
that two and twb make four. Any

Andrew jackson.

The bronze Andrew jackson, riding
his pranCing horse in Lafayette Park
IS the oldest equestrian statue in the
United States. Its only equestrian
predecessor within the national bound
aries was the monumentof George
III, set in colonial times in New York
City, but destroyed by the continental
troops and patriotic citizens in 1916.
Though Congress had voted to erect u
statue to George Washington, the
plans had not been carried out when
the jackson Monument was unveiled
III 1853. on the thirty-eiGhth anniver-
sary of the Battle of New Orleans.
The project of raising funds for this
monument was undertaken by the
Jackson Democratic Association, which
obtained Sl2 900. but Congress later
appropriated $50, 900 toward its cost.
The story of how the self-taught
sculptor, Clark Mills. made this type
OF statue is without u parallel in his
tory. Young Mills, a plasterer. had
shown such promise as a sculptor in
charleston that his friends had ar
ranged TO pay his expenses of study
ing art abroad. On his way to Eu-
rope he visited Washington, where his
talent and original ideas made such
an impression that his friends here
persuaded him TO give up his foreign
trip and remain to make the statue
in honor of Gen. Andrew Jack son, the
hero of the Battle of New Orleans.
Young Mills had never seen an
equestrian statue. From the very
conception, on through the drawing,
modelling in clay and even the difficult
work of the casting of the bronze, the
Andrew Jackson Monument was all
his own. Many of the appliances
which he used in his work were prod
uctS of his own ingenuity.
In order to model the horse from
life, Clark Mills trained a horse in the
position of standing on it's hind legs
nd holding the pose. 1t is not easy
10 appreciate how much skill was re-
quired of the artist in giving the
statue such perfect equipoise that il
needs no fastening to the base, though
faStenings are used. For almost Il
year he worked on q model of d horse
which should have its hind legs extend
10 point directly beneath the center
of the body to accomplish perfect bal

made the drawings for the Italian
age than Galileo was called upon to
determine the center of gravity of the
monument. Though the statue of
Jackson lacks the size which would
make it impressive, and though art
critics have found some fault With it.
yet judges agree that there is much
Evening star., 1925-11-19

to praise in this production. The
horse is said TO be true to its living
model. The work shows Gen. jackson
a a real commander in his attitude of
dignity and self-possession. Those
who remembered this man who had
served his country in war as dis
tinguished general. and in. peace as
Il President of the Nation, declared
that the likeness was true in feature
and expression. 1t impresses the fact
that he had a will of iron, an energy
which overcame all obstacles and that
integrity which was unaSsailable.
Andrew Jackson is the only hero of
the War of 1912 honored by a monu-
ment in the National Capital. The dis
tinction which he earned as the COM
mander at the Battle of New Orleans
was unique in that his military genius
and bravery We're exercised in fighting
the largest battle of the war, at a
time when peace had been declared.
though unknown by the forces of

FOOD AND HEALTH
BY WINIFRED STUART GIBBS.
Food Specialist.

1t is easy to show how the safety
brought about through wise diet
that Is, the freedom from deficiency
dfseases-helps to protect us from
other dangers. Take the simple
crossing of one of our whirling' thor
oughfares. Few will deny that such
a crossing is fraught with more un-
certaintieS than an ocean crossing.
1t Is the pedestrian with the clear
brain. the quick eye. the responsive
muscles and nerves that reaches the
other side In safety. 1t seems a
proSaic way of putting it, but a we'll
selected diet ands a good digestion
contribute nightly to the acquisi-
ton of these desirable physical at
tributes!
Food is safety in a very large
sense!
The hapless youngsters of one or
more generations ago. We're offered
the first of our educational material
on health-"physiolog and hygiene"
1t was called. 1t was not until the
school days of our present day chill
dren that health education" as
sumed the attractive guise of plays
and pageants, stories and poems.
And food bears an important part in
any educational campaign under
taken for the purpose Of showing the
children how to be healthy and,
therefore, in one sense, safe.
Meantime organized work in edu-
cation as to accident prevention has
been proceeding along similar lines.
At least one State, New Jersey, has
it's safety museum, filled with de-
vices for preventing industrial acci
dents. Safety first" is a we'll known
slogan, and while we should hardly
venture the assertion that if one
were only careful to be we'll fed he
might with impunity dash recklessly
into a maze of motor cars as we said
before, the we'll nourished individual
has greater chances of reaching the
other side:
The most significant development
of the whole matter is the fact that
in late books on safety there are
whole chapters devoted to food and
diet.
What constitutes a diet that con-
tributes to safety?
With large volumes being written
on the subject it is obviously impos-
Sible to do more than sketch in an
outline plan for such a diet. And.
since family and public interest are
coming more and more to center in
the welfare Of the children. it is per-
haps most economical of limited
space to let such an outline use the
requirements Of the children by way
Of illustration.
For the sake of simplicity of eX-
preston one may sum. up safe diet
for a child as follows:
/. \ diet that furnishes sufficient
food of proper quality to keep the
child's body sustained while at com
plete rest.
.. A diet that promotes normal
growth.
8. y diet that meets the require
ments set UP because of the activity
of the individual child.
:, 4. a diet that makes up for the
waste occasioned by activity and eX-
cretion through the various organs.

AUTUMN
BY d. c. PEATTIE.
Seed Pods.

If flowers could sing they would he
lovelier than birds, but, except for
the signing of the wind in the leaves
there Is little music In the world of
plants. But there IS one sound that
is music to those who have ears to
hear 1.-THE rattle of the Autumn's
crop Of seeds in the dried seed pods.
AS November's wind goes whistling
shrilly through the grasses, it tosses
the years crop of wayside flowers
and weeds, without pity for their pa
thetic whitening skeletons, and as it
goes 1t sets to dancing a strange
dance of death the millions of tiny
pods and beans and capsules that con-
tain the seeds of life. There are seeds
so tiny that they are no bigger than
grains of pollen dust, and only
perhaps some Wondrous insect could
hear the sound they make, but the
sound of the poisonous seeds of that
beck yard weed, stramonium, click
ing in their big green burs, of the
beans of honey-locust in their strange
fiat pods, of the hundred other YES
sells of eternity, is a dear sound to
those not too busy with the rush of
worldly affairs to stop a moment and
listen for it. Something ghostly is
this music If you think of Autumn
sadly, as though, as the poet has said
''in the midst of life you are in death, ;"
but jolly like the crackle of fallen
leaves or the hiss of the first falling
snow if you face the coming of the
cold in the spirit of red-blooded per-
son who likes the out-of-doors best no
matter what the weather.
And there are sounds that are over
tones to the rattle of seeds in their
Autumn pods, sounds invariably as
SOciated with this very muSic-the
creak cracking of great boughs, tossed
in the wind, and the faint dry ''tseep"
of little gray and white Winter birds
that perch, swinging in the wind, on
the dry weed stalks. hunting in the
seed pods for their scanty fare.

nance.
Dry away laGrimas amargadas. sou
orita, and take the word of mister
brady for it that you can keep both
your health and your bonito boy
Americana if you never eat another
speck of garlic as long as YOU live.
On the equally important other hand.
garlic is a rather healthful item in the
dietary, and, except when there is a
temperamental bonito boy americana
lowering about, it is all right to in
dulge in it as freely as you like.
A few years ago some of our peri
odicoS americanos informed the gaping
world that plenty of garlic would cure
consumption, high blood pressure, dys-
pepsia and a few other things. but this
was like good many other things in
peridicoS americanos. Lots of US
Americanos believe in Santa Claus.
Old-time authorities on diet described
garlic as tonic to the stomach, car
minative, stimulating to the circula-
tlon, eXpectorant promoting eXpector-
atom and diaphoretic (promoting
sweating).
Because of its carminative action,
they recommended it in cases Of fia
tulence or excessive formation of gas
in stomach or intestine. Because of
its antispasmodic action, they recon-
mended garlic in cases of hiccough,
hysteria and spastic constipation.
Modern dietotherapy takes more
careful account of the chemistry Of
food and the physiology of digestion.
and viewed from this point of view
garlic, like onions, becomes Just a
condiment, flavor, zest. appetizer Gor
those who like it, without any special
