iLife's Hurdles
BY L. E. Bisch

With but few exceptions everybody
enjoys the movies. ..-
Moving pictures have become popu-
lar with marked rapidity.
Cheapness is one factor but there
is a deeper reason for the deserved
popularity Of pictures and that rea-
son is psychological.
Anything that stimulates the imag-
nation gives pleasure.
When We are able to build mental
images we enjoy it.
That is what the movies permit US
to do--they rouse our imaginations.
We have visual imagination, audi
tory imagination, olfactory, gustatory
and so on. To every sense there is
a counterpart in the minds eye.
Having once seen flower you can
reproduce its image in your mind
that is, imagine it. You can also
imagine the odor of a rose, the tune
Of a waltz, the taste of a fruit.
You can imagine everything with
which at some time you have had
actual experience--in whole or in
part.
However, most Of Us are primarily
visualizers.
We see more than we hear, smell,
taste or feel.
This is why our imagination deals
mostly with visual images.
And, being used TO them and feel
ing at home with them, as it were
we enjoy visual imagination more
than any other kind.
Motion pictures stimulate the kind
Of emergency that comes easiest.
They do not put a strain upon
Imagination.
Motion pictures appeal with special
emphasis because they are visual.
Ordinary pictures also appeal. We
never grow entirely out Of the pic
ture book stage.
But most of our experience is not
with stationary but with moving
things. Life pulsates with motion.
Therefore, when the persons in pic
lures move, it makes them seem more
natural.
When We read a story or hear it
told we have TO change it about and
translate it into visual Imagination.
just that little difference weighs
down the scales in favor Of the mo-
ton picture.
Psychology explains many things
many Of our reactions.
] dare say few have ever stopped
to wonder why they like the movies
50 much.

ror OF which men know nothing, and
about which the majority Of women
keep silence.
Women are brave. Physically more
brave, 1 believe, than men. At least
where pain and discomfort are con-
cerned.
When was nursing in the hospitals
during the war, saw the bravery Of
men, too-silent, accomplishing cour-
age. But they were largely sustained
by the glory Of their achievement, the
glamour and excitement of bat
tie.
Women, on the other hand, 20 qiuet-
ly down into the Valley Of Shadows,
without fanfare, without the acclaim
Of heroism, to fight their fight for
life-their own, and the others.
Often they do it alone, or almost
alone.
But pain and terror are always
borne in Solitude solitude OF soul
in which no one else can really pene-
trate.

The middle-aged man beauty in this face in
this arrangement of the hair in these soft eyes and
gentle expression.
The young man would say. "Gve me my husky girl,
with the back Of her neck neatly shaved light in her
eyes that means PEP not softness Short hair no curs
for me-"
It's all a matter of taste. This editor, while he
thoroughly approves of short hair and believes it will
stay for women as well men, is bound to admit that
ne has seen SOME bobbed heads and shaved necks that
lacked the charm in this picture.

Dental Bills
By Royal S. Copeland

An interesting letter came to me a
few days ago. A reader complains of
the dental bill he has to pay. He
believes the members Of his family
have bad teeth because of the lack &C
lime. in their food. 1t is not the cx-
pense that worries him, but the UNI
willingness of the family 10 adopt a
more sensible dietary in order that
they may have better health.
There is no doubt the quality Of
food has much to do with the strength
and vigor Of the body. There is a
serious fault in the modern dishes.
Too many of them are denatured. The
minerals and vitamins are removed
and the body is robbed Of elements of
vital Importance.
read a funny editorial the other
day. 1t joked me about one Of my
articles and joked Judge Gary, whom
1 had quoted. We had talked about
the "juices" in which vegetables are
cooked. Our critic said we should use
terms the public understands. What
we meant, he said, was "pot likker."
Yes, that is what we meant-pot
likker. 1t is a crime against the body
to throw it away. The fluid in which
the meat and vegetables are cooked
contains all the soluble salts, the valu-
able minerals Of the food. 1t should
never be thrown away. At the end OF
the cooking, the vegetables should be
uncovered so the steam can escape,
leaving the precious minerals in the
food. Likewise, the meat gravy should
be served so as to save the minerals
Housewives should take pains to
serve cereals with the outer coverings
on, or should add bran to the cereal
in order that the mineral elements
Of the grain will be included in the
dish.
Unpublished rice is n valuable food,
while highly polished rice is little
more than a confection. Served with
top milk or cream, the unpublished
rice is a very important food. When
raisins are added 1t becomes one Of
the best possible dishes.
Milk is one Of the richest Of foods
as regards lime and other minerals.
1 am glad it is being added to bread
in the modern bakery. One way and
another milk should be consumed in
quantities by every household.
When there are young and grow
ing children, it is important to give
every possible food which is mineral
carrying. For such families the
whole wheat or other coarse breads
are essential. The envelope Of the
wheat contains the minerals, which
should be included in the bread.
If children are properly fed from
the time Of their birth and If their
mothers were given the right diet be-
fore the children were born, there is
every likelihood that bones and teeth,
cell and fibre, will be as nature in.

Taking Stock of Prohibition

Six years Of prohibition have been ones of con.
troversy. United States proposes to take stock
insofar as the enforcement and merits of the Vol
stead Act concerned. The proposed Congress
sional hearings doubtless will serve only to keen the
ISSUE before the people until after the November
elections. The drys do not seem to fear the probe
by the Senate judiciary Committee which has be-
fore 1t several bills designed to modify prohibition
Public interest is naturally keen in tho hearings,
being conducted at Washington for the subject mat
ter concerns the daily habits of many millions Of
people throughout the United States
After all the arguments in, Congress prob
ably will be as far away from a solution as ever.
The vets opened their argument by a lengthy at
tack against the Volstcad Act OF course, the real
issue is whether social conditions have improved as
a result Of prohibition enforcement Of the Vol.
stead Act comes within the range of the commit
tees investigation. In fact, the record is thrown
wide open for beth the vets and the drys to marshal
their heaviest verbal artillery.
Apparently the vets hope through the hearings
to get publicity for the cause Of notifications Con-
gress is not expected to pass any legislation at this
session which will bring beer and light wines to the
thirsty 1t is doubtful too, whether prohibition will
be very live issue in any cf the Congressional dis
trcts.
1t is admitted that the drys of the South, Yves;
and Middlewest control Congress- Those in a posi-
ton to know very doubtful if the 1926 elections
will change materially the lineup in congress on the
issue of prohibition.

average annually rs per cent.
Alone OF the eleven European debt pacts that
have been made, there appears to be some doubt as
to its ratification by the senate.
While the arrangement made requires italy to
pay proportionately less than other debtors that
have acted, Italy's assets from what has been
learned, also are less.
She has to import coal, iron, copper, cotton, oil
and other raw materials. Individual incomes arc
small, rather conclusive evidence of the paucity Of
natural resources.
If she had settled her debt on the same terms that
Great Britain did she would have had payments of
$1l,OOO,OOO year to meet and there is yet to be
produced critic Ct the pact who has asserted Italy
could do so.
1t ought to be said that considerable opposition to
the Italian pact appears to grow out Of dislike for
the clustering braggadocio and dctatorial attitude
Of Benito Mussclini. the Italian premier.
While he has on the whole not been offensive
toward this country, he has toward some Others and

Editorial Comment
Making Farming Attractive
Duluth Herald)

There is strong movement to make the farm
homes of the country attractive to the young In
the past it has been the ambition Of many young
men and women raised on the land to break away
and enter city life This has been good for the
cities but not good for the farms.
Millions Of farn,-brcd youth, entering the cities,
brought with them industry and intelligence Their
contribution to city life has been great. Farmers
sons often gain city leadership Some, too fail in
the cities.
But this sort of depletion Of farm population has
hot been to the advantage Of the farming industry,
and, it is soundly argued that prosperous farms
with intelligent and satisfied farmers are the real
basis Of national strength, something must be done
to check the flow.
This country has about thirty-two million persons
on the farms. This is much less than the city and
village population. But it is enough. This number
with modern methods Of farming is able to supply
all the food the nation needs and have large
quantity for export 1t is wise to study how to help
farm workers and make their homes places Of con-
tentment.
Farmers, seeing this need arc leading in the work.
Modern methods Of communication have put an end
to farm isolation. The farm with adjacent railroads
and passing busses with good roads and automo-
biles, with the telephone telegraph and radio, with
daily mail, is fully much in touch with the pulse
Oi world HE as The Office Gu the twcntyflth floor
Of the skyscraper.
Rural schools working TO make farm homes
and farm work modern. A recent news item from
Deer River in ltasca county reports that the stu
dents Of the local high school arc studying farm
methods, locating waste, and seeking profit. They
keep books the cost Of farm production, dealing
with specific tracts Of farm land. They keep rec
ords Of the production Of dairy cows, aiming to do
away with any that do not produce enough butterfat
to pay for their keep and show profit.
This is gratifying. 1t is time that some of the
capable youth bred the land should work to up
lift farm life and make it happy and profitable
They have done and will do enough for the cities.

CHARLEY OTTER GETS EVEN

Charley Otter went on sliding
down his mud slide into the creek.
When he struck the water he
rolled over and SWAIN on his back.

turned and had the best time ever. /,
He seemed TO have forgotten all
abou: Marty Mink stealing his fish
Really Charley was in a very happy
frame Of mind. He really is a very
good-naturcd persoa.
Hesis also very smart person,
Charles Otter is one Of the sniartcst
Of all the outdoor people.
That is what the March Hare wills
pcrcd to Nancy and Nick in their
hiding hoE behind big green rock.
The fairy rabbit and the children
had seen everything. They had seen
how Marty Mink played the trick on
good-natured Charley by stealing his
fish when he stopped to shout out
loud at the mink's suggestion.
Just now Marty was eating the
fish on the other side of fallen log
where no one could see him.
"Tum. tie. UNI. tc. UNI. tum, tum!"
sang Charley Otter. Slide Splash!
Swim! Climb up again! Slide! Splash!
Swim! Do it all over again!
Just watch him." said the March
Hare. He hasn't forgotten what
Marty did not for a minute. He's
only fooling."
Just then Marty Mink stuck up his
head. and peepeh over the log. He
was licking his lips.
He watched Charley Otter sliding
and splashing and decided he'd try to
make Charley catch another fish for

Marty Mink puffed out his fat

coming over to the top Of the bank
and looking down.
He dived into the water and pretty
soon up he bobbed with a big fat
sinner in his mouth.
SWELL, declared" shouted Charley
Otter. "That was pretty good. Let
me see how big he is"
Marty climbed out Of the water.
He couldn't eat fish in the water any
way, any more than Charley Otter
