it had to be undertaken, where there
wasn't the needed exchange to make

Your Health
How to Keep It.
Causes Of illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor journal of the American
Medical Association and OF Hy-
geia, the Health Magazine

Four hundred children who came
to one OF the Massachusetts clinics
for mental hygiene were studied by
an investigator to determine some
of the reasons for their delinquency
Sixty-six per cent came from
homes with foreign customs.
Forty-three per cent were Of
Italian parentage, 20 per cent of
Jewish parentage and about IS
per cent of American-born Iar-
ents. The percentage was natur-
ally influenced to some extent by
the fact that the clinic in question
was located in neighborhood of
foreign-born persons classified as
low middle class.
In most of these homes Little
reading was done, other than in a
foreign or American daily news
paper. Actually 3s.5 per cent of
the children lacked any educa-
tional opportunities at home and
more than half Of them had pSr-
ents who were themselves to be
characterized as ignorant. One
third of the children lacked nor
NAL opportunity for play because
Of the congested neighborhood in
which they lived.
An investigation showed hat
much of the shut-in character of
these children was due to the fact
that the mothers failed to let
them out because of the danger
of tn immoral associations or ac-
cidents likely to occur In the
street.
In 81 cases. friction between
the parents and relatives at home
was constant. and was connected
in most instances with drink,
gambling and lack OF parental re-
sponsibility on the fathers part.
When parents quarrel constantly.
the effects on the children are
promptly noticeable.
Ten per cent of the children
had parents who were handi-
capped by physical illness, the
father being unable to work and
the mother being compelled to be
away in order to aid the family
living.
In the cases of is Of the chill
dren, one or both of the parents
were neurotic and mentally I'M
balanced types. 1t is significant
that So of the children were con-
sidered to be the victims of too
much solitude by their parents.
In many instances the child was
an only child with a neurotic
mother. The Jewish mothers
made up So per cent of those
classified as oversolicitous. The
clinic workers felt that this was
Fart of the Jewish ideals, since the
mothers were proud to tell of
their untiring devotion to their
children, especially in sickness.
The factor Of great importa: &c
vas the physical defect present in
delinquent children. One-third had
bad teeth and large tonsils or ade-
poids, or other physical defects
which made 1t impossible for them
to get along equally with healthful
children In the community.

II ever there was a scared Coyote,
that Coyote was Mrs. Coyote when
one of Buster Bears irrepressible
cubs landed on her. You know, she
had been curled up fast asleep and
dreaming. The young cub had been
pushed by his sister, and when she
saw what was going to happen he
was as badly scared as young cub
could be. The result was that he had
all his claws out and his arms and
legs were moving almost before he
landed, in his effort to get away.
Now, a little bears claws are sharp.
They dug into Mrs. Coyote She
Weakened with a yelp of dismay and
for minute Mrs. Coyote and that
little Bear were all mixed up, each
trying to get away from the other.
Mrs. Coyote didn't know what it was
She smelled Bear and that was
enough for her. She had just been
dreaming about Buster Bear and
she was sure that this was Buster
Bear himself. So the instant she was
free she streaked down the path as
fast as her feet would take her her
tail between her legs.
Meanwhile the mischievous little
cub who had pushed her brother
was rolling over and over on the
ground with glee. Yes, sir, she was
SO! She kicked her heels. She fairly
squealed. AS for her brother, he lost
his temper. Really he had been
quite as badly frightened as had
Mrs. Coyote. When Mrs. Coyote
started down the path he started up
the path.
Now the memories of little bears,
like the memories of little boys, are
short. Finding he wasn't being
chased, he stopped. Then very eau

While / have not the "fapper fig

illness had left her thin enough to

coins own slim, willowy figure made
her little speech as to crowding

laughable thing, if there had been
anybody to laugh at it.
But there was no mirth in the
faces of any of us. Noel Veritzen
was still so filed with resentment
against Mr. George Logan Jackson
that he patiently found it hard to
be civil to the young woman who
breezily and confidently took her
seat beside him. Mary's lovely young
face openly showed the childish,
Jealous fury at Miss Lincoln which
was sweeping over her. although she
uttered no word and was palpably
fighting for poise, while I was an

her OF the charge of dscourtesy.
She was keen enough, however, to

bizarre actions had put upon our

had alighted she resisted all my

CHAPTER XXXIV

Sally's mother had been married
for more than 20 years. and she was
at the tag-end of middle age.
But, somehow, the coming Of that
telegram from her husband seemed
to have taken years and years from
her.
The flush that lay across her face
like a film gave it a look of you'll h,
and there was a new brightness in
her heavy-lidded eyes. She got up
from her chair, not slowly, as she
usually did. but with light quick
ness.
You'll have to put him in Miles
room,' she said, and even her voicX
sounded younger and more vibrant.
And you'll have to hurry to get it
ready. His train gets in at 10
o'clock"
Sally noticed that her step. as she
crossed the ROOM was springy. She
turned suddenly.
"Ill tell you what We'll do" she
cried excitedly. We'll have Beau
and Mabel go down to the station
and meet him in their car. l lust
want him to see how well we've got
along without him all these years
automobiles and everything"
In that moment Sally was glad
that she had kept her from knowing
how great failure Beau really was,
and how great a struggle they really
We're having to get along.
Smiling with satisfaction, her
mother turned towards the tele-
phone in the hall and then sudden
ly stopped once more.
"Pshaw. 1 keep forgetting that
the children haven't a phone in that
new flat of theirs. Sally, you'll have
to run over there and tell them I
want them to go down and meet
their papa with the car at / 0 o'clock.
And you'd better go now. and do
your work here later. For they're
probably at home eating supper, and
you'll catch them in now"
That was true. Sally reflected. For
the young Jeromos practically lived
in their little second hand car these
days. Nothing but food and sleep
and their jobs kept them out of it.
It was standing in all its flaming
gorgeousness before the door of the
brand-new apartment buildings,
where they lived. One mudguard
had been crushed In and the paint
knocked from it in s,ots. But except
for that it was Just as glossy as ever
And just as blindingly, glaringly,
red.
