Gretel Makes a Few Pointed Re-
marks to the Piano Movers

After HanseI and Gretel had
picked themselves up out of the
gutter where they had been tossed
by the piano movers, who later tes-
titled that they had been acting un-
der orders from the old lady, they
of course had a few words to say,
which in all charity we must pass
over lightly. They were precoci-
GUS youngsters with a flair for
highly descriptive language, and it
is said that even the piano movers
blushed, although this is uncon-
firmed.
The suburb in which they lived
was made up entirely of apartment
houses, SO there were no barns to
sleep in. They were rot exactly
popular with the neighbUrs, owing
to quaint habit of theirs, which
was to follow the milk man about
of mornings and dilute the milk
with rat poison. Although they
used the best grade of ratsbane,
they had but few friends, so
there was nothing for it but to
sleep in the woods, so to the tall
uncut they turned their footsteps.
Wandering across an abandoned
golf course, they saw a light out
in the rough, and on investigation
found house that much resembled
the location office of a California
Real Estate man, except that it was
actually made of gingerbread and
sawdust, although the catalog had
guaranteed it to be, of the best ma
terials.
Just as the children were cut
ting themselves a second piece of
cake, who should appear but a
lady who was either a very good
character actress or was much the
worse for a lack of groceries.
Caught in the act, the children

"HOT SHOTS"
BY "BOLSHEVIK" BILL

In The Winslow Mail a week or
SO ago was an editorial on the sub
ject of those hundreds of cataloges
of well-known Chicago mail order
house The editorial touched on
the matter of how and why thou
sands of dollars can be spent on
catalogs destined for distribution in
small towns where they reap their
reward. It said people will send
their money out of town for goods
of unknown quality, and sometimes
get stung in the bargain.
We all know that the home town
is the best town in all the world.
You love to spend your money
there, but ding bust it if you like
that feeling that the local merchant
sizes up your pocketbook and puts
a price on his goods accordingly.
Editors continually are caution
ing people to patronize local mer-
chants. This is all free space for
local merchants. Free advertising
for local goods. But what in the
world can a mere editor do in the
face of odds, and knowing that
there is considerable public senti-
ment in favor of the mail order
houses?

BILL ASKS SCHOOL
BUREAU OF HYGIENE
Begg Urges Adequate Care
of Health in Capital in
Offering Measure.

Establishment of a Bureau or School
Hygiene in the District of Columbia
under the Health Department Is pro-
posed in a bill introduced today by
Representative Begg of Ohio.
The functions of this bureau would
he 10 provide proper medical exani-
nation for all pupils and teachers, TO
buildings and equipment. to supervise
nutrition classes. to give instruction
make sanitary inspections OF school
in hygiene, to prevent the spread OF
disease and to promote the health OF
the school children in various other
ways.
Mr.. Begg said that the health of
our children in the schools is of vital
concern to every citizen and to every
taxpayer.
THAT our schools have learned to
handle effectively the mental training
of our boys and girls is shown by the
20 per cent reduction ia illiteracy
throughout the country during the
30-year period from 1880 to 1920" Mr..
Begg stated. I'VE are proud, right
fully, Of this achievement and OF the
DEVELOPMENT Of the little red school
house of yesterday into our splendid
modern system of public education.
Money Needed for Health.
But the slogan which calls for mil
lions Of dollars for school buildings,
but not an additional cent to safe
guard the health Of children using
these buildings, is not based upon eX-
perience or upon common sense. In
what way do we benefit by furnishing
an educational preparation to children
who may never be able to take full
advantage Of the opportunities thus
afforded because of physical handi-
APPS which might have been cured
by early treatment? What of the
honor pupil, educated largely at pub
lie expense, whose graduate studies
are cut short by defective vision?
"Our experience in the World War
forced home with inescapable logic
the fact that great numbers OF young
men and women graduated from our
public schools were suffering from
marked physical defects. We were
shocked TO read of the hundreds of
boys and young men who were re-
iected because of fiat feet, poor eye.
sight, weak hearts, tuberculosis and
other causes. Thus 1t was brought
home to us that our system OF public
education must give consideration to
health problems and must strive to
extend and to conserve the health Of
the children in our public schools"
Capital Lags Behind.
Mr. Begg cited the large amounts
pf money, running from half a million
10 a million dollars. spent by city gov.
ernments in this regard.
I'm this great movement the Capt.
Ia of our Nation lags behind" said
Mr. Begg. During the year 1925. %
american cities nearest to Washing
ton in size spent an average of $142,.
1s5 for school medical inspection
work, as compared with an expendi
ture of SOL. 1.120 for the District of Co
lumbia. In view of this small eXpendi
lure, is it any wonder that more than
90 per cent of kindergarten and first
2radc pupils examined were found TO
he suffering from some physical de.
feet? This situation calls for serious
attention. :.

WHAT'S TO GO IN THE PAIL?

Learning is kind Of food for the
mind" we. are told on good au-
thority. Likewise it is generally
conceded that it needs to be supple
mented with suitable food for the
body but about the latter there Is
great diversity of opinion. We are
told that what is one mans food IS
another's poison, which. generally
speaking, though supported in some
degree by the facts, may be con-
sidered an exaggerated statement.
One is reminded Of these things by
the recent enterprise of the mayor OF
LINN, Mass. He visited the schools,
as a result Of which he declared that
in one school the food that was be-
ing eaten by the pupils is insult
able; that he there saw more hot
dogs" than he ever had seen in all
his visits to Revere Beach and de
advocated that the children should
bring their food in a dinner pail.
He did not give, nor could he give,
any assurance that the food brought
in dinner pals would be suitable for
children orr properly cooked, and
those are really essential things to
consider.

THIRD DEGREE METHODS

Cases multiply in which confess
sons are said to have been made
by criminals, who when brought to
court deny them, claiming they were
obtained by third degree" methods
tnfiicting torture, physical or mental.
A recent instance is that of Marshall,
who was said to have confessed the
killing of woman who threatened
to expose him, following which he
dismembered and disposed of the
body. At his trial it was said that
he had undergone what Appropriated
torture, that the so-called confess
sion was not the truth. Evidently
the jury believed some of this, though
finding him guilty in the second
degree.
These so-called confessions appear
to aid justice little If any. Assuming
they did, should, they be regarded
as proper in this age, which insists
that the prisoner shall not be re-
gArded guilty until he Is proven so,
which hedges him about with all
manner Of protection that has en-
abled, 1t is believed, many guilty
persons to escape? That would be
inconsistent indeed. And now that
these third degree methods appear
to be futile what excuse is there
for their continuance? The grilling
by question may be permissible but
n permitted it should be done under
such conditions, as to preclude any
possibility of physical torture. Be-
sides, there is excellent reason to
conclude that the ends Of justice
would be much better served by
depriving the prisoner able to COM
mand money and influence of the
tnnumerable loop holes through which
he now is permitted so frequently
to escape.
