INVENTOR WORKS ON
PROPELLING MACHINE
He Believes Men Should Save ALI
Their Energy for Really
Big Tasks,

Paris, Aug, IS. (UP)-The time is
not far distant when man will be
mechanically propelled. using little
muscular energy and conserving all
OF his forces for times of greatest
need"
This is the theory of Santos
Dumont, the pioneer flier, who has
been spending the last few months
in Europe completing the invention
of a small motor to be used in
mountain climbing. 1t has only one
tenth of one horsepower. weighs
two pounds and can be adjusted to
mans back without the slightest
discomfort. An ingenious series of
light metallic bands are connected
with short skis, if the climb is to
be made over snow. and to a pair
OF miniature Caterpillar" runners
for harder surfaces.
The energy required to keep up
with modern business has made
such an invention inevitable" the
man who conceived the bat wing
style Of airplanes has told his clos
est friends. why should a man
wear himself out physically when
MS energy is required to keep I'D
the worlds progress
Many are laughing at the inven-
tors latest ideas. but they also
laughed quarter of century ago
when he was making insignificant
hops and trial flights in the Bots
de 3oulogne. He does little flying
nowadays. When he does take to
the air it is usually as a passenger.

small round germ first isolated in 1887. The germ may live on the mu- cous membrane of the nose of man and is-transmitted from one person to another.
 Before the discovery of the serum, the deaths varied from 65 to 90 per cent. Today the mortality is un- der 25 per cent. Before the discov- cry of the serum. epidemic menin- gitis attacking infants ono year old killed about 100 per cent: now less than 50 per cent die because they are helped by serum treatment.
 Attack Spinal C0s,i
 When the germs get into the body they are carried to the spinal cord and there they attack the covering of the cord. spreading even to the covering Of the brain. These covcr- ings are called meninges. which gives to the disease the name meningitis or inflammation of the meninges.
 In this disease we know then def initely the cause and we have . spe- cific medical treatment 'which, If used early. will produce favorable results. ,..
 Sometimes severe paralyses result from this disease. With modern methods of treatment 1t is possible to lower the incidence of paralyses and it is possible also by study of the paralyzed nerves and muscles to secure favorable results in the mat ter of deyelopment and movement after the disease has passed.

Guiding Your Chile
Ni(lllI.,SGH
BY MRS. AGNES LINE

Modesty is useful if somewha limited virtue which has no place in early childhood.
 The little girl who walks into the Eat throom while her baby brother is tcing bathed is frequently shooed out. If she asks quite naturally about his different anatomy, she IS told not to ask foolish questions. As 4 matter cf fact she would be either foolish or stupid if she didn't ask questions.
 The little boy wandering into his mothers room while she is undrcss- cd is ordeted out at once, and IS fully aware of his mothers embar- r;s ssment at his unljmcly intrusion.
 From such little experiences the child builds -uP a feeling of gulit about certain parts of the body, ms oan and everybody olsc's, long be- fcrr he has any idea Of, or interest in the functions they perform. In later years this feeling that there Is something shameful and nasty about nudity may interfere with his mak- ing a fine, happy adjustment to sex ln his own marriage.
 The mother of little two year old girl was recently called upon by the police department of the town in which she lived because some nef.hbors. who must have used step l. ldcrs to see over the hedge, had r. ported that the child was allowed 10 run naked in the garden back of the house. The childs health giving sun baths had 10 cease on the g1 6unds that she was "ndangerlng the morals; of the community. AS lung as the attitude off the public reveals such consciousness of guilt { ii is difficult to protect our children from dirty mindedness and 10 incul- C.te in them decent, wholesome attitude in relation 10 these matters. But we need not let yulgarity in- trIdo into our own homes. The child should he as innocent and unsolf- l conscious about nudity as he is i HboHt the fact that everybody has two legs He should be devoid Of 10th mod stv and shame. accepting ] inc human body as an unemotioual ! fact
