From the rival instances Of two respectable citi-

birthday, one by smoking and drinking as he
pleased, the other by abstaining from tobacco and
liquor, people have FASTENED to derive the lesson
that in order to live long one should live as he
pleascs This pleasant conclusion is sound-with
one proviSo And that is to begin by choosing ones
ancestors wisely. Whatever may be true about
certain diseases. vices, genius, it is c5tab-

ON HEALTH-
Sleep Out of Doors as Much as You Can

may be as coy and as comfortable as
any to which you are accustomed if
the proper precautions are taken
Preparations for outdoor sleeping
should when possible be made in a
warm room. not in the open air. All
coverings that are necessary should
be provided. Here again care should
be taken that these coverings are not
so heavy that weight will prove op-
pressive. Many cases of troubled
sleep are due to the pressure of too
heavy bed clothing upon the body.
Warmth in bed covering. not weight.
should be the criterion.
Another important point for the
outdoor sleeper to remember is that
it is as important to have enough
bed clothing underneath the body as
it is to have enough over the body.
Many who try outdoor sleeping for
the first time in cold weather do not
understand this simple measure.
suffer discomforts and abandon the
project because they are unable to
keep warm. Thick blankets or an
extra mattress should be used for
this purpose.
If you know how to use your
blankets you can keep warm with q
few. The woodsman will use fewer
blankets than you and probably keep
warmer before you learn how it is
done. Rolling yourself in blankets is
trick. keeping yourself rolled in
blankets while you sleep is a matter
of habit. You will not be able to do
this at first The tendency to be-
come uncovered may be overcome.
as every sleeper who has roughed it
in the out of doris knows, by the use
Of large safety pins. By means of
these blankets may be pinned to-
gether SO that they form kind of
sack until the habit of sleeping in
rolled blankets becomes fixed

Taking the Profit Out of War
(FOrt Worth StarTelegram)

People who peer suspicousy at the whole world,
who sniff conspiracies everywhere. who believe
that wars are fomented by financial interests for
the purpose of max ne profits perhaps will not be
satisfied with the information that Bernarl NJ
Baruch has agreed to give from $3.50 900 to 100000
to finance three-year study of war proiteering
and its effect on wars. For Mr.. BarHch is multi
millionaire. Obviously to the suspicious breed, he
ought to be in favor Of proiteering and oueh;
to be doing everything that he can to keep the
methods of profiteers hidden. Therefore there il
something suspicious about his gift too.
But Mr.. Baruch is man Of common sense. He
knows that there is profteerng in that there
10 not as much of it as people believe and
that regardless Of whether profteering has any
effect on wars and the making Of there are
great many who believe it has an enormous ana
sinister effect. Therefore he is giving money to
throw light the subject to get at the truth so that
all the world may know just exactly what effect
profeering has, Again, he knows that the cry OF
many people for taking the profit out of war" has
its basis in commendable idealism. He is in favor
OF taking the profit out Of war, if it can be done
without imperng the nations chances of success.
In other words he is in favor of taking as much of
the profit out Of war as is practicable.

Three chief officials of the Beth
lehem Steel Corporation have resign
ed. "to avoid the necessity OF re-
ducng the wages of 10000 laborers,'
so the announcement says.
1t may be so; but the arithmetic
Of it is curious. Suppose these three
executives got $4,000 a year apiece.
That. in all. is only three cents a
day apiece for these ten thousand
laborers. No corporation ever con-
sidered change of wages so small.
Moreover. it would be a poor execu-
tive who could not add at least a
cent day to the effectiveness Of
each workers output. The differ
ence between we'll and poorly or
garized work is much more than
that. Measured by what he produces.
an executive is worth either good
pay or none. If he produces efficien-
cy, he costs nobody anything. If he
does not, the sum involved is rela-

A Professor Jones. formerly of

no evidence for such view. But
it is doubtless true that the apes
ancestors were more man-like than
the present apes. That is. they were
less differentiated. The present ape
is a highly specialized creature
much more so than man himself.
Even the individual life Of each ape
reflects this development. The young
chimpanzee is almost human; the
adult is unqualifiedly brute.
Because Of his two extreme spe-
cializations-h hand and his brain

can inhabit the Arctic without grow

without growing fins or wings: eat

A young man in the west escaped from prison.
He went TO distant state, got honest job and
married good girl Then he told her of his past.
She advised him to give himself up and finish his
term. He did and is back in prison His wife is
earning her own living, waiting for the day when
he comes out.

New York-Only a week or two
ago immense fortunes were being
piled up in paper profits through
the great land rush at the Rocka-
ways. Long Beach and other nearby
shore communities. The boom has
been Debated and the residents of
the boom communities are holding
nightly meetings to devise ways Of
restoring business to normal. Many
strange tales are revealed in these
meetings.
A resident of Edgemore owned a
$4,000 home. He was offered $4,000
cash the first day Of the boom and
refused to sell. On the third day of
the boom the owner was about to
close for $4,000, of which $4,000
would have been paid in cash A
Spectator offered $4,000 and gave
a check for $1,000 to bind the deal.
The next day the bank revealed that
the man who signed the check had
never carried an account. The boom
was over. Now the owner cannot
find a purchaser.
One Rockaway woman owned four
lots, but lot owned by non-rcsi-
dent divided them in half. A specu-
lator wanted to buy all five lots.
Unable to locate the owner of the
middle lot. the woman sold all five
lots at an enormous profit. The next
day the owner of the middle lot
showed up. With threat Of prose-
cution and possible Jail sentence for
misrepresentation of ownership, he
demanded and received the profit
made on all five lots.
Another spcculator, who made a
deal for Long Beach property and
found himself without funds to go
through with it. refused to see a
visitor fearing that he would be
served with subpoena. Later he
learned that the visitor was a mes
senger with box of cigars and a
quart of liquor from the man he be-
lieved was seeking his arrest.
Delmonico's. the famous resfnu-
rant at Fifth avenue and Forty
fourth street. expired with a grand
flourish. As steam shovel and a
derrick demolished the building. Big
Bill Edwards, Oscar the Chef, and
other famous men about-town dined
on the last remaining floor space.
They toasted the famous old cara
vansary with the contents of bottle
found in the ruins of the building
The foundation of this famous place
was laid by John Delmonico. whose
little restaurant in South William
street near the docks became noted
in 1924 because he could fry fish bet
ter than any man in town. Three
great, great. great grandnephews of
John announce that they will carry
on the Delmonico name as the cri-
terion of good eating.
