AMERICAN HEROES
MADE BY MECHANICS

. 1t has been true ever since
. American history began that
. our popular heroes have had
= nicknames, picturesque and

, seriously than they seem to do
. today and when military heroes
, were given affectionate nick
. names and elevated to positions
, of high honor.
. Today our greatest national

, of sport and many an American
, knows all about "Babe" and
, "The Georgia Peach" and slit

, There's an interesting article

BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Fly
 gcia, the Health Magazine

At least once each year some medical periodical is likely to de- vote a number of pages to a con- sideration of the effects of tobacco smoking by specialists in various fields.
 The Practitioner, published in England, presents at this time 3 consideration of the subject by specialists in diseases of the diges- tive tract, of the nervous system and of the effects of drugs.
 Sir Humphrey Rolleston. physi- elan to the King of England, recognizes that the hot smoke of some tobacco may produce soreness of the tongue and increased amounts of saliva in persons who are es- pecially sensitive, and that the irrita- tion of the mouth sometimes asso- ciated with smoking may arouse thickening of the tissues of the mouth and tongue. These, however. are relatively rare. considering the vast number of persons who indulge in tobacco.
 It has not been found that smoking favors decay of the teeth. Dr. Rolleston recognizes also the fact that smoking may stave off the discomfort of hunger, which he believes is due to the fact that the nicotine in the toHacco stops the movements of the stomach which are associated with the sen- sation of hunger.
 Excessive smoking may at times be responsible for irritation of the stomach, particularly in men over 50 years of age. However. in ordinary amounts and with or dinary persons, smoking does not seem to have any special effects of this character.
 Another English physician, r. Arthur Hurst, believes that exces- sive smoking in persons who are sensitive increases the amount of acid in the stomach and excites it so that the food is passed from it too rapidly.
 The smoking of tobacco has also been associated by some physicians with the causation of hiccups, pains in the heart, with difficulty in swallowing. and with many other rather indefinite symp- toms. However. these facts have rot been established for any large number of persons.
 When such symptoms occur, il is desirable to have a careful physical examination by some one competent to determine whether the symptoms actually result from smoking in excessive amourts or whether they are due to some fun damental physical changes in the body.

Mary Suddenly Brings Mrs. Bakers
 Case to Head

CdSe 10 d Iicau
 Mary's reply to my question con corning Mrs. Baker was prompt, un- hesitating-almost rehearsed. l said to myself with a puzzled feeling that something which I did not compre- lcnd was behind her request for my company upon her morning walk, inc first she had taken for several weeks.
 -Yes, she has been annoying me, she said, although l don't think the poor old thing means any harm, but she's becoming regular nuisance now. It wasn't so bad when she just came to see me at all hours and told me her tloubles-I felt sorry for her, and some of hal stories of her eX- reriences were awfully interesting end amusing-so l tried to make her feel welcome, even if she did take up lot of my time
 But lately" she went on slowly, bit reluctantly, she's been pester- ing me to go out with her in the evening. saying that l could slip out after you had all gone to bed. and that nobody would know the differ ence. I don't deny that I'd like to get out all right, but not with Mrs Baker as chaperone."
 Her little shiver of disgust was very realistic, yet again l had the queer. elusive feeling of something canned and delivered like lesson and found myself wondering wheth CT the note of sincerity in her voice was as real as it sounded. But a second later I scored myself se- verely for my cynicism. What pos sible reason could Mary have for feigning dislike and distrust of Mrs. Baker? It was almost an appeal for aid the child had made to me, and l must not fail her.
 "The abdominable old harridanl" I exclaimed, and knew that I was not exaggerating my feeling toward the fourth floor lodger by the speech. "She ought to be jailed for trying to persuade a young girl to deceive her people like that. And nobody knows where she had plan ned to take you. I think Mary that I'd better interview our neighbor,

and tell her that there are few verboten signs around you and that she must observe them. What do you think?'
 Despite my belief in her sincerity, I watched her closely as l made the proposal. If she were reluctant to accept it, felt that I would be jus titled in thinking that her objections 10 the woman were only voiced for their effect upon me. But her re- sponse was prompt, even enthusi- astic.
 T wish you would. Aunue Madge," she said. T don't believe anything else will have any effect upon her. AS I told you she was aw- fully interesting at first, and l liked to listen to her. But she began to get tiresome. and then when she began this teasing for me to go out with her at night-to the movies and the dancing clubs, she said-1 began really to be bit frightened, for she was so persistent.
 "I'll settle her" I promised grim ly. Don't worry your pretty head any more about it,
 It was so early that there was no one in sight on the secluded path along which we were walking. As l made Mary the promise, she cast Q quick glance around, then whirled, caught me in her strong young arms and kissed me warmly.
 You are the sweetest thing in the world, Auntie Madge," she said fervently. T don't deserve you, that's all the trouble"
 She released me, and again swung into step by my side. But not until I had seen something very like tears in her eyes, an exhibition of weak ness which l knew she despised as only a young modern" can. I did not answer her protest, except by smile. but all through the rest of our walk l was conscious of two separate causes for joy. Mary had turned to me in her dilemma, and the problem of Mrs. Bakers inti- macy with Mary seemed to be solv- cd. I only wished I were as sure of as easily disposing of Jack Leslie.

 AS a matter of fact, the sun had gone behind cloud and this is what made Mourning Cloak feel chilly. Mourning Cloak flew over to an old stump and crawled under a piece of loose bark on it. Just before he disappeared he said: If you're looking for signs, Peter, this is a sign that I'm going to sleep again"

A False Sign
By Thornton ". Burgess

Signs and omens mean but little; Of truth you'll scarcely find a tittld. Potter Rabbit
 Peter Rabbit is not weather prophet, He doesn't pretend to be. Still there have been times when Peter has thought from certain signs that he could tell what the weather was going to be. Most peo- pie are just like Peter. Whenever they see something unusual, they immediately think it is sign of something. More times than not things turn out just the reverse of what the sign is supposed to indi- cate.
 "1 am beginning to get tired of winter" said Peter one day. T am so. Winter is all right for a while. l like it. It makes a fellow feel fine. The snow makes the world all white and clean. But there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. I've had winter long enough now. want to see some sign of spring. If I could just see some sign to show that spring is really coming after while, think I could get along very nicely for the rest of the winter. But, oh dear, there isn't any sign. At least, I haven't seen it. Now, what was that?"
 Peter sat up very straight and stared very hard. He had seen some- m n of no of plI log. At the moment there wasn't a breath of air. If there had been, Peter would have thought that what he had seen was the fluttering of an old, dead leaf. But a leaf couldn't move without Merry Little Breeze to move it.
 So Peter stared. And as he stared his eyes grew bigger and bigger. Its butterfly" said Peter under his breath. Tt can't be, but it is. The idea of butterfly in the mid- dle of winter. Still, I do remember having seen a butterfly when there was snow on the ground. l wonder If this is a sign that winter is al most over. It must be. I'm sure it must be-"
 Peter very carefully moved over where he could see better. II was q sure enough butterfly and no mis- take! It was opening and clo-ing it's wings. Right where it sat the Jolly Little Sunbeams were warmgst and brightest. You see, it was fairly warm day. Perhaps I should gay it was an unusually warm day for the middle of winter. Peter stole a few steps nearer. Its Mourning Cloak" he mutterel.
 Of course I'm Mourning Cloak" said the butterfly. Who else would ] be? Did you ever see any other butterfly so nearly all black?'
 Peter shook his head. He con- fcssed that he never had. "I}ut,' said Peter what are you doing now? Is spring almost hcre?"
 What am l doing? What am I doing? l am taking q sunbath, of course. What else should I be do- ing" retorted Mourning Cloak. T don't know whether spring is nearly here or not. l don't care, as long as we have warm days like this"
 But" cried Peter, aren't you a sign?"
 Nc" retorted Mourning Cloak, '1'm a butterfly"
 "Of course,' said Peter, q know that. But when you come out isn't it . sign that warm weather will soon be hore?"
 Tt may be-" said Mourning Cloak. "But if it is, l don't know 1t. If it is a sign at all, it is sign that ii is a perfectly good day to stretch one's wings. They get stiff if l cannot get out and stretch them once in q while"
 But you haven't been out before tl.is winter, havo you?" asked Pe- t9r.
