Possibly the gentleman who took the time
to amass statistics to prove that the average
income Of the American worker is one and one
half cents a minute was not SO prOfligate with
his own time after ALL The statistics received
wide publicity, perhaps because the income OF
various prominent persons was also figured on
the minute basis.
President Coolidge, for instance, receives
about so cents minute, whereas Gloria Swan
son receives $40 every sixty seconds for ar
eight-hour day. Judge Lands gets about 43
Chaplin, S6.67. The aggregate income Of all
workers is 100000 minute, or $4,000, 900
an hour.
1t is a curious phenomenon that almost every
citizen is more interested in his neighbours in
come than perhaps any other matter. Partic-
ularly is he impressed by fabulous figures, a
fact which press agents have had knowledge
of, and have played up since the profession of
ballyhoo was founded. The income per-minute
statistician gave the public one Of the things
it likes to see, consequently his statement has
been read with avidity.
1t is to be hoped that the general public
while absorbing the details Of the tremendous
returns Of front page personages, will subcon-
sciously grasp the fact that it's own income is
1.5 cents per minute per capita Someone
must foot this bill. In return the wage payer
expects to derive is cents worth of services
which. all too often, is not received.
Each and every minute has monetary value
Copybooks from time immemorial have chron-
icled this fact, but their teachings have had
but little effect. Perhaps the knowledge OF
the financial loss from every wasted minute
will dissuade some persons from wasting time
If it does the statistician will not have wasted
his minutes.

A series of revolving murders has once more
turned the attention of the American people
to adequate means Of dealing with crime. o.
course the arguments about capital punish
ment, pro and con, are being aired again, with
some persons favoring more of it and others
pleading for its abolition. Some think the
death penalty is necessary as a crime deter
rent. Others turn to it to satisfy a sort OF
Sadism or in the conviction that moral re-
sp0nsibility rests on society to punish those
who sin against it. And those who oppose
capital punishment are inspired either by the
thought that it has failed as a crime deterrent
or by the belief that society does not have the
moral right to take human life.
But while the discussion RACES, it is inter-
esting to note that thirteen foreign countries
have abolished it for one reason or another.
They are Norway, Sweden, Portugal Neither
lands, Austria, Rumania, Latvia, Lithuania,
Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Honduras and
Uruguay. In Belgium, Denmark and Finland
it is authorized by law, but never resorted to-
The federal government and ten Of the fifteen
cantons of Switzerland have abolished it. Ex-

little honey or maple syrup and
which imparts delicate flavor.
A convenient way of preparing is
to measure out a pint of sweet milk
into quart bottle and let stand in
warm water until the milk is luke
warm. Measure into the milk four
scant teaspoonfuls of honey or maple
syrup, replace the cap on the bottle
and shake vigorously until thorough
ly mixed, then add the dissolved
junket tablet and shake again for a
few seconds. Pour into individual
molds and let stand undisturbed
until coagulation takes place, then
place in the ice box or other cool
place until ready to serve. For a
change raisins may be used in place
of the. honey or syrup. Simply pre-
pare the milk as directed and pour
into the molds, adding a few raisins
to each mold. This fruit furnishes
enough fruit sugar to give the de-
sired sweet taste without the honey
or syrup.
These measurements make four
generous portions.

swankiest new buildings in the
Times Square belt. Waiting in the
lobby, a spotter Of "known crooks
counted almost a dozen "police
record" men walking nonchalantly
by, headed for a double office above
an office that reflected quite as
much dignity as any other; an office
equipped with a stenographer, tele-
phones, desks and other office APP

in the world of bootleg. Addressing
his fellows in Washington, Congress-
man La Guardia stated the other

the Wall Street district. Here, said
the congressman, negotiations were
entered upon for getting liquor out
Of government storehouses, bringing
endless rivers Of beer into Manhat-
tan, and otherwise flirting with the
prohibition amendment.
In the world of night-clubdom, q
more sinister g.me is played, though
its participants are clal in tuxedos
and starched collars. That is, some
of them are! Some Of them wait
in the street, black jacks ready for
instant use. Their signals come
from handsome man in a silk hat,
as he steps into q taxicab.
These arc the wars of the elmer
tenderloin, and they are entered
upon frequently with the obvious
intent Of putting some place out of
business. It was said that young
Roger Wolfe Kahn came in contact

he stepped recently into the Broad

LETTER &M

our present one-third and the con
tinued decline:
Experience shows thai this is a.
small a percentage American ton
mage as will insure just treatment
of American cargoes by those for
eign ships which now carry most Of
our import and export cargoes."
-
The Jones bill, recently passed by
the Senate, looks to construction of
such ships as will maintain existing
American flag shipping services and
meet the needs of our commerce and
national security. Senator Jones
says that unless q definite construc-
tive policy is adopted at this session
of Congress our ships will be hope
lessly deteriorated and helpless to
meet world shipping conditions with
in the next two years.
"In the days before we entered the
war, when our products Of farm,
factory and mine were piled up on
our docks and wharves With markets
crying for them but no way to trans
port them, available ships charged
enormous rates-carrying charges
increased 1000 per cent in some
cases." says Jones. Farmers and
merchants lost at least billion
dollars, and because of our lack Of
ships our people paid in one year
from $500, 00O, 900 to $50O,000, 900 in
i reased charges"
The $3,000,O00,O0O we were
forced to spend for ships was more
than the estimated value of all the
ships in the world in 1914, but the
expense was necessary because we
had no merchant marine to meet
tie war.

ecutions are rare in Prussia and, legally, in
Italy. Russia executes for political crimes
and some misdemeanors, but not for murder.
Even here there is division in practice.
Eight states have abolished it and in most Of
the other forty only a small percentage of the
accused pay the supreme penalty. With the
exception of few scattered states the death
penalty is imposed only for murder.
It is somebody's duty to draw comparisons
from accurate statistics proving for all time
whether capital punishment is or is not crime
deterrent. Has it been the universal expert
ence that abolition has been followed by more
or fewer murders?

VALUE OF MILK IN A CHILD'S
| DIET

during the last Jew years con-
centrated movement has been devel-
oping through domestic science
t achers and dietitians to encourage
school Children to drink more milk.
especially between meals and at re-
cess time. Undernourished children
have been helped a great deal by
this practice; little children formerly
starved from poor or incorrect feed
ing have grown into sturdy young
sters. better able to wrestle with their
school problems. The greatest good
has been accomplished with those
whose food has not been sufficient
or of proper nourishing qualities.
Milk is one of the foods which man
has been able to develop through the
proper care of cattle, SO that cows
and many goats have been trained
to give milk for q long period in
stead of for the short time neces-
sary for the nourishing Of their off
spring. / believe that cows milk is
one of the ,lost valuable foods which
man can use at the present, pro-
vided he will learn to understand its
proper place in the diet.
Milk is very rich in nourishing
qualities, the solid matter being COM
posed of equal parts Of protein, fat
and sugar. When your child drinks
glass of milk, it is much the same
Al if you gave him on his plate an
equal amount of fat and sugar and
a piece of lean meat about four times
the size Of either the fat or sugar,
and a piece of lean meat about four
times the size of either the fat or
sugar, as the meat is only one-fourth
protein. The rest of the milk is
made up of small amounts of organic
minerals and water.
It is best to not take milk between
meals or with meals, but an entire
meal should be made of as much milk
as desired, with the addition Of
either some acid fruit or one of the
cooked leafy green vegetables such as
spinach or string bears. If the fruit
is used, the digestion Of the milk
will take place more readily, assisted
by the fruit acids which help break
up the milk curds into small par
ticles. This makes good lunch, and
solves the difficult lunch problem
very satisfactorily.
Children who do not like the taste
of fresh milk will often use butter
milk or some kind Of cheese. Cot
tage cheese or cream cheese may be
used either in place of eggs or meat,
but being Of a concentrated nature
should always be used with salad
or with some Of the cooked green
vegetables.
Cheese is considered constipating,
but this is only because it is con-
centrated food, and this constituting
effect is entirely overcome if the
bulky green vegetables are used at
the same time.

envelope for the reply.
QUEsTI Ms AND ANSWERS
Question: A Reader writes:
"Have been reading your articles
from time to time and would like to
know what the. symptoms Of adhe-
sions are. Was operated on for rup-
tured appendix about year ago and
suffered no i'll effects until = couple
of weeks ago. Have had continual
headache ASST from Stomach, usually
constipated, and pains in back that
lead up to back Of head"
Answer: Admissions binding the
intestines together are the common
cause of constipation. The only
way you can be sure whether or not
you have adhesGns is to. have an
X-ray examination made. Adhesions
may produce symptoms in almost
any part of the body If they are Of
sufficient strength to interfere with
the functional activity Of the stom-
ach, intestines, or other abdominal
organs.
Question: T. A. asks: evil you
please tell me if the entire wheat
bread is starchy, and if it is good
for the diabetic instead Of gluten
bread? We are quite interested in
your articles and read them daily"
Answer: Entire wheat bread or
plain white bread has moro starch
than other food elements. Gluten
bread has slight. less starch, but
the diabetic should not use bread Of
any kind, as he can get along very
nicely if no starches are used. but
may be forced to take insulin II he
insists or using any form Of carbo-
hydrates.
Question: A Sufferer asks: "Will
you kindly tell me what causes the
corners Of the mouth to get sore?
Also, the. remedy for this disagree
able trouble? ?"
Answer: Soreness in the corners
of the mouth may be caused from an
irritated stomach or from abscessed
teeth. The saliva becomes poisonous
or irritating and during sleep runs
Ct of the corners Of the mouth and
causes the burning. Keep your
teeth clean and avoid stomach irri-
triton by regulating your diet SO
as not to have stomach hyper-acid-
itv.

family was pleased that / had
broken my engagement to him as
they wanted him to take his art

l hope you will call on his mother
and tell her that they can't expect
