Your Health How To Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS F1SHBEIN Medical Association and of Hygeia,

ulC htdlln 4MuSdLlHSs Some time ago I suggested that the most important problem in pub lie health of today was to make the parent know as much as his child is learning to know about the or ganization and care of the human body.
 The parents of today learned little of these things In the schools of their time. Today. anatomy. physi- ology and hygiene begin to be part of the child's education from the moment it enters its first school room.
 To meet the deficit, there are. all over the country. parent-teacher associations and associations for par ent education which aim to provide something in the nature of graduate instruction for parents who want to be as helpful as possible. Face Different Views Many parents have attempted to learn all that is written by special ists In psychology and by doctors. l and find themselves in confusion be-
 cause of divergent views. They ab-
 sorb great amounts of philosophy.
 but they are not provided with the definite instructions that they need 1 to handle specific situations. The ! parent education groups are planned
 primarily to help in systematizing
 the knowledge and in aiding in the
 specific instances.
 In a consideration of the sub
 feet, Miss Edith D. Dickson of the
 Institute of Minnesota points out
 that it is necessary for the parent l to look for causes instead of mak- ing judgments concerning the child S
 actions.
 Instead of asking, What shall
 I do to make John behave?' the ! parent asks, "Why is 1t that Johs

 Punishment

Many parents are more interest ed in punishment for wrong actions than in the prevention of wrong ac- tions by studying their causes. One Of the great advantages of group study is the realization by the par ehts that their child Is only one of many and that other parents are passing through exactly the same type of experience.
 The child's behavior is the result not only of it's physical nature, but also of the environment in which it lives. It reacts to all of the per sonalities that surround it. An in telligent parent will sec to it that the child is given an opportunity to react to normal situations. A lack of intelligence means the building up of neuroses.

WASHINGTON.-The jolly old sport
of robbing the Indians was long ago
abandoned, according to popular i'm
preston, either because the Indians
had nothing left to be stolen from
them or because none were left to be
plundered.
The SEVENTEEN congress, however,
will be told that the Indians are still
being robbed, not only of property, but
sometimes even of their lives through
the neglect of those who are supposed
to take o2re of them. 1t will be told
that they have also been robbed of
their liberty and the right to enter
productive industry and the pursuit of
happiness.
Although America has almost unan-
imously forgotten it's original inhab-
itants and has left them to the mercies
Of the bureaucracy of the Indian Bur-
eau, they have a few good friends
down here who are willing to fight
for them. Every SO often, someone not

plight of the Indians and flies into a
permanent rage at the injustice of it.
Congressman Clyde Kelly of Pitts
burgh, was one who had that expert
ence when he became member of the
House Indian Affairs committee back
in 1920. He has been working for the
Indians so hard ever since, despite the
fact that there isn't one in his dis
trict, that when an Indian thinks of
the Great White Father in 1927 he is
apt to think of Kelly or Congressman
James A. Frear of Wisconsin.
Kelly and Frear are fighting in the
house for abolition of the Indian bur-
eau, while at the other end of the
capitol Senator Burton K. Wheeler is
expected to demand an investigation
of the bureau. Kelly and Frear, in

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE
YESTERDAY, TODAY AND
FOREVER

When an agile Greek athlete had won
big race,
All the guerdon the rules would
allow
Was the gift of small sprig of laurel
to place
On his handsome and sweat-be-
dewed brow.
But his affluent friends for the rest
of the year,
Being kindly and generous mortals
Removed from his soul any heart
chilling fear
That the wolf might appear at his
portals.
And of course there was never a cause
for debating
AS to whether he still kept his anna
teur rating.
In the ages that followed, the Romans
and Huns
When resting a little from war
Engaged their most noble and huskiest
In contests of strength by the score.
No money of course was conferred as
prize
But though youths lacked in wealth
or in station,
They were always provided with need
full supplies
And none of them died from starva-
ton.
If they ran, hurled a discus, or boxed
a good fight
Their amateur standing was always
all right.
My knowledge is slight of the annals
of sport
Today-or in history's dawn,
But little I've read on the Subject-in
short
I am only mere locker on.
But the crafts and the arts that per-
tain to the mind
We can all of us trace back to
Adam,
AS soon as we think they are modern,
we find
That our ancestors always have had
'em.
And amateur standing is figured today
I feel sort of sure-in the old-fash-
ioned way.
