ADJUSTMENTS
NATrONAL--Eva lie Gallienne.

1t has been faeorite trick of mech
anists to adjust A. trip hammer SO
accurately that II would crush lightly
into the upper shell OF an egg and so
no further
An accurately beautiful measuring
of force is revealed by the perform
ance OF eThe Cradle Song.
The play is foreign. Most big plays
at present happen To be So. lt is the
work of a true poet. but in inquiring
the authorship II Is disappointing 10
note that the ''hy line" is omitted,
while elaborate attention is accorded
an interiude in verse by Gregorio and
Maria Martinez Sierra, translated into
English by John Garrett Underhill
The 'interiude in verse" is sustained
in respectful attention by its har-
monious relation to the accompanying
text. Otherwise il has little dramatic
value.
II Is to the intrinsic idea that atten-
tion must turn In searching Eu-
ropean inspiration. the play hits upon
an inversion of an idea which has
been offered with deXtrous heart
touches-mother love.
In Barrie'S play. Legend of Leo
NORA" the heroine is represented as
an individual example of mother love,
embracing many types in the one
identity
Cradle Song brings a baby into a
convent and reveals mother love as
ar influence which all women. how
ever secluded from the customary
world, must possess.
A waif of unknown parentage is
confided to n convent. She is appre.
hensively received. She grows into
girlhood and finds a lover. The con
vent is left to sadness when he takes
her away.
That is what in practical parlance
might be called the plot" Nothing
could be more simple.
There is a relatively in drama which
man in his philosophy has never
dreamed of. In spite of it's intense
seriousness of background, the uncom-
promising appeal of Cradle Song" lies
in it's delicate relief of comedy against
q somber background. All the auster.
tiles of self-dedication cannot prevent
the impulse of love for baby. In A.
convent the little girl child whose
mother shrinks into obscure humilia-
tion. finds many mothers rivalrous for
her affection. Here and there is a
tear. sparkling in recognition of the

"cHICAGo's HEALTH"
Weekly Bulletin, Chicago Department
of Health
BURNING THE CANDLE AT
BOTH ENDS
BY Herman N. Bundesen, MD, Sc.D.,
Commissioner

''This is not a sermon on morals or
human behavior. 1t is only timely
plea for a return to common sense
standard. AS such it should be taken
with good nature and without resent
ment. In a city of the size and i'm
portance of Chicago the life of the
average man or woman is Of itself
speeded up by the feverish throb Of the
metropolis. This is especially true Of
those who frequent the loop district"
says DR.. Herman N. Bundesen, COM
missioner of health, in this weeks issue
Of Chicago's Health.
Thousands Of the young people Of
Chicago, after full days work and a
hastily consumed meal, crowd the
dance halls until the wee hours or at
tend parties until the time when the
milkman is on his route.
"They pep it it up by gin to the
tunes of jazzmania,' without rest, with
out stop, with no thought of tomorrow.
Such life may look attractive while
it lasts, but the we'll known gentleman
with the fiddle comes along next day
and demands his paw; for pay they
must sooner or later, and howl" con-
tinues the Commissioner.
'Fast living means spending more
funds Of the bank Of good health than
the balance justihes. Such checks
drawn on that bank usually come back
with such notations as no balance,
funds overdrawn' When the resources
are exhausted to the last penny, bank
ruptcy follows and receivership en-
sues. Receivership is often conducted
in a hospital and the receivership Of i'll
health is much worse than that Of a
financial nature. A young man can
laugh heartily at i'll fortune if his
health is good. For good health is his
most dependable bank account and
with it he can pay for his lost job OF
squandered fortune.
Burning the candle at both ends j:
most commonly committed by:
/. Indulging in excuses Of all kinds
2 Hasty eating.
3. Taking too many stinulants.
4. Worrying.
5. Getting too little sleep
9. Dodging the suns rays:
2. Dodging fresh air
8. Having irregular body habits,
concludes the Commissioner.
