revoed and profusely murdered the lawyers They de-
manded higher standard of living than they had had

PUBLIC HEALTH GUARDIANS
By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
United States Senator From New York.
Former Commissioner OF Health New York City.

Do you realize how much we owe
to the public health officials? Not
so long ago had occasion to spend
a night and a day at the Quaran-
tine Station in New York Harbor.
This visit renewed my respect for
the watchful care the government
gives to the health Of its citizens.
Deadly infectious and contagious
disease is being nursed in various
parts Of the world. 1t is being fos-
tered and fed in preparation for at
tack upon the vitals Of men every
where.
Except for the unflagging watch
fulness Of officials at the ports Of
our country, there might be raging
in our country epidemic disease Of
the most deadly nature. But be-
cause these officials are on duty we
are protected and kept safe in our
homes.
There are many things to admire
in the men who choose 10 do work
Of this sort as n career. They put
aside the hope of gain, even the fl
nancial gain which comes 10 the
most modest Of the medical profess
sion. In spite of the meager sti-
pend, they thro~ Themselves into
their duties. With enthusiasm and
tireless effort they carry on, year
after year.
One Of the diseases against which
the ports Of North America must
be guarded for years is bubonic
plague. This is one Of the most
deadly diseases known to man.
Were it to get real foothold in
America, thousands upon thousands
Of our citizens would be destroyed
before we could control it.
The plague is carried by a GER
tain type Of flea. OF course, n flea
couldn't travel far without help. 1t
can travel fast-that must be adj
mitted-but il must be given aid in
order to span the earth.
When you want to travel long
distance what do you do? You
simply employ a vehicle Of some
sort, Of course. That is exactly
what the bubonic plague flea does.

OVER LIES HURDLES
BY LOUIS (. BISCH

: do anything and everything their
fancics dictate.
II we let them grow up that way
they become more or less lawless
adults.
The unframed child becomes the
asOcial or antisOcial man or woman
who feels he does not fit in with
society and its standards and who
becomes, in consequence most rest
less and unhappy.
There are parents, indeed, who
obey their children rather than their
children obeying them.
It's hard on the parents, also on
| the children.
Obedience, therefore, is a socio-
logical necessity.
But obedience on the part Of your
children cannot always be gained
easily.
Be sure also that your child
knows and understands what you
desire and what you require Of him.
A child may be busy playing and
not realize that you are speaking
TO him.
When you finish, do so prompt
ly. A child invariably resents being
punished for naughtiness committed
several days previous.
Don't frightcn your child. Never
say the man in the woods will
come to fetch him and put him in
a big black bag, for instance. A
child has q vivid imagination. Such
methods OF punishment often lay
the groundwork for future fears
and nervousness.
Don't ask your child to do some
thing that is manifestely impos-
sible or exceedingly difficult. II
your little one is genuinely afraid
Of the dark, don't force him into it
alone. Go with him, reassure him,
show him that hobgoblins will not
jump out at him.
BE sure you always keep your
promises. If a child can trust you
he will also be obedient.
BE patient with your child's tan
trums or irritability. Bad temper
may be caused by illness, indiges-
ton, loss of sleep, irregular meals,
etc. Find the cause Of bad temper
always!
When you do punish be sure the
child understands fully why.
Far better is deprivation of
sweets or some form Of enjoyment,
than corporal punishment.
The proper training Of children is
exceedingly worth while.
We don't want goody-goody, timid
children. We want normal, healthy,
perhaps mischievous, but well-be-
haved and sociahzed little human
beings.
As a parent it's up TO you

Turn Off the Faucet
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

One Of the tests used in a certain
insane asylum to ascertain
patients recovery of sanity was as
follows:
The patient was put in a room
in which were a mop and a faucet.
From the faucet water was left run
ming on the floor.
If he seized the mop and tried
to wipe up the water he was still
insane. If he turned off the faucet
he was judged sane.
If he dealt only with effects and
did not go back to causes he was
considered to be still mentally de-
fective.
Dealing with causes was the sign
of intellectual balance.
Judging on this basis, this old
world has a very small percentage
of sanity in its dealings with the
problems that confront it.
Take the problem of the criminal
and the insane. We. as a nation,
spend hundreds of millions on in
situations supported for their care.
But in the majority of states any
dangerous criminal or moron can
lawfully be married and propagate
descendants who from birth are
frcighted with menace to society.

times it is true"
~when ] soy it three times it is
true" seems TO be the idea Of most
Of those who engage in a conflict
of ideas. The belief seems to be that
if they can state their views with
enough finality and emphasis 1t
proves them to be true.
But overswing and convincing are
entirely different.
Silcncing an opponent for the
time being and proving the truth Of
your argument are often widely at
variance.
After an argument with johnson,
Oliver Goldsmith complained:
There is no use arguing with
johnson, for when his pistol misses
fire he knocks you down with the
butt end Of it,"
Such "bow-vow" arguing may
discomfort an opponent. but it rare
ly advances truth.
Having ideas Of your own IS only
the first mile in an argument.

your stand is the second mile, and
the indispensable one.

sons for your stand helps little
when the grounds for your beliefs
are questioned.
The individuals who have done

lievod have been the ones who were
most eloquent in their defense. They
were the ones who had gone the
second mile and built up a logical
basis for their belief.
The flint mile-saying II don't
agree" or 81 think you are wrong
takes little thought.
1t is the second mile-siudying
and reasoning 20 back up your ideas
with arguments and facts - that

why you take the stand that you
do-that Is the hard part.

1t does not depend on a flivver, or
other mechanical device. Neither
does it hitch its wagon to n star.
To carry it on its way, the flea
makes use of the rat.
In the fur and on the skin Of the
rat the flea is nourished and WAKES
fat. Unfortunately, however, the
bite Of the infected flea infects the
rat and after while the animal
dies Of the plague. Just as soon
as the rats body is cold in death,
the flea jumps off to seek another
comfortable place.
If another rat is found, every
thing is all right. But il the first
warm-blooded animal the flea meets
is a man, there is trouble. The
infected insect bites the man and in
due course the human being comes
down with the plague.
You see now why health officials
hate rats. They view them with
suspicion.

lators seek stricter laws, but pay
little attention comparatively to one
of the sources of trouble, the lax
marriage laws.
Strikes are treated very much in
the manner of the old negro's leaky
roof. He said when it rained he
couldn't fix it and when it wasn't
raining it didn't need fixing.
When confronted with big
strike we wake up and do anything
to tide over the crisis. Then during
the intermittent periods of calm be-
tween strikes little is done to find
a saner basis Of relationship be-
tween employer and employe.
The regulation of immigration in
to this country concerns itself pri-
marily with the problems at the port
Of entry and very little with the
investigation Of the character of the
immigrant in his own country.
On the whole our medical system
is based on the treatment of effects,
dealing with people who are already
sick. instead of improving the health
Of the people who are not sick.
In many other everyday dealings,
both socially and individually. we
grab the mop. but let the faucet

Freaks Of Nature
Water Spider

A very remarkable weaver is the
little water spider, which, though
strictly an air breather, spends al
most the whole Of its life below
the surface of the ponds and
streams which it frequents. Work
ing diligently, the water spider
weaves a fine silk nest that is quite
the same shape Of a large thimble,
and places it below the surface of
the water. 1t carries its air supply
with It by means Of an air bubble
that is formed above water and is
held between it's densely haired
legs. When the web is completed,
the water spider makes numerous
trips to the surface. and carries
air bubble after air bubble down
to the nest. The nest is made snug
and dry and full Of air, a perfect
diving bell, in which the spider
lives throughout the winter.
