probation of what the provision really meant.
And the dilemma of the spectators, often year
behind in their understanding of the rules, was
increased by the difficulty of determining when
touchdown had been scored, for the moving
back Of the goal posts to the end zone left the
goal line about as indistinguishable as any
other.
The present plan of the football rules COM
mittee is to let well enough alone next year
BY 1929 it is planned to have the rules thor
oughly revised, not with the idea of changing
the forms of play, but to make the regulations
simpler and more understandable. That also
is needed. And if it is possible to recodify
them so as to provide "a stable, thoroughgoinR
foundation for the sport" football will be
greatly benefited.

Americans should stop worrying about for
eign propaganda in this country and should
concentrate on spreading a little American
propaganda in Europe, according to DR.. j. Z.
Bay, Chicago librarian, in speech before the
American Library Institute.
Europe as q whole knows nothing about US
and cares nothing, says DR.. Bay. A scholar
searching the average European library for
material on the United States finds very little.
All of this is interesting. Our European
critics love to speak of our provincialism and
our lack of general knowledge. Yet, in the
face of the fact that Europe is steadily slip
ping into second place, behind America, in the
march Of the worlds affairs; in the face OF
the fact that the old world has passed it's zenith
while the new world is just reaching it's man.
hood-Europe is too provincial even to stock
its libraries with few books about this coun.
try.
Europe as a result, continues to misunder-
stand us lamentably. This is usually spoken
OF as a situation that We will regret some day
but it may be that it will be Europe that will
regret it.

$5O-a.week Adversity

Facts and figures do not seem to bear out
-, pessimstic observation by Prof. Irving
Fisher that 80 per cent Of American families
are living on the ragged edge of adversely.
This possibility is no more probable than that
ford and the Rockefellers stand in momentary
danger Of losing their millions.
Interpreting Professor Fishers jeremiad for
oneself, it is presumed he had in mind install
ment buying, living to the limit or little be-
yond ones means and other so-called economic
evils of the day. Like most economists he
overlooks the benevolences and exaggerates the
remote dangers of modern economic trends.
New York City is not the whole United
States, although New Workers sometimes
think SO, yet it provides a case that can be
cited to refute the sage of New Haven.
The late Fred l.. Lavanburg set apart q
fund Of $4,000 to provide comfortable homes
for families with weekly incomes of $25 or less.
Instead Of turning away eligible tenants, the
Lavanburg Foundation has found it necessary
to increase the maximum income to $50 week
to fill the apartments.
More graphs and diagrams will have to be
produced by Professor Fisher before he can
convince the American people that they are in
such . bad way the wolf is camping on their
doorsteps.

DIET A POTENT FACTOR IN
EVERY DISEASE

While health is q natural condi-
ton Of the body, it is, nevertheless,
true there are very few persons
who can truly say that they are en-
joying perfect health.
It is folly for one to look outside
of himself to find the cause Of any
disorder. One is not sick because
he does not read a certain book, or
because he doesn't take pills, or
have an operation; but, he is sick
because he has lived certain way!
Any child can understand that
the body is made out Of what we eat
and drink. Mistakes, like eating
the wrong things, eating too much,
and improperly combining our
foods, are the greatest causes Of
disease, and physicians who do not
prescribe q definite diet for each
individual patient are either care
less or ignorant.
In order to show you how diet
plays such an important part in
causing and curing disease, am
going to give you a series of short
articles in which / will run down
over an alphabetical list of the diff
ferent disorders and explain how
food is q potent factor in the cause
Of every disease. We will start
first with acne, and continue
through to zymosis.
Acne is skin ailment manifested
by blackheads and pimples appear
ing mostly on the face and back,
and the principal cause is from US
ing too much greasy or sugar food.
The body attempts to eliminate
these excuses through the skin,
and some of the two and q half
million pores become stopped up,
producing an unsightly skin which
can never be cleared up until fatty
and sugar foods arc reduced to the
minimum for the needs Of the sys-
TEN.
Anemia is a disorder caused by
iron and oxygen starvation, and this
Is in turn caused by deficiency in
the diet of the vital green vege-
tables and using too large a guam
tity Of devitalized foods, such as
white flour products which rob the
blood Of the necessary organic min
erals. The patient with this dis
ease is often overweight, because
Of using food of wrong quality.
Appendicitis is brought on by
colitis, or intestinal irritation, due
to chronic constipation from faulty
dietetic habits.
Asthma is characterized by diff
cult breathing which is produced by
catarrh from mucus-forming foods,
and by excessive gas pressure
against the diaphragm from excess
sive food fermentation.
Auto-toxemia is q sort of blanket
name for general toxemia created
by various dietetic indiscretions,
and often called the "Mother Of all
disease"
Biliousness is q common COM
plant produced by using more food
than the system can convert into
useful tissues. Any "heavy" food
used in excess may be the agency
for the production of q torpid liver.
Bladder troubles are caused most
" by irritating substances in the

Women Enjoy Hobbies
(LOndon Mail)

II have no hobbies" heard q woman say
not long ago in satisfied voice, rather as if
she was proclaiming to the world that she had
no vices, says Lady Kitty Vincent.
The pity of it is that so many women Of the
middle classes have no hobby, for the possess
sion Of one would prevent them frittering away
their time. When their children have grown
up, or while they are at school, most women
have plenty Of time on their hands, and most
OF them seem to do nothing with it. It does
not take an intelligent woman with q staff
more than an hour or two to set the machinery
Of house going, and for the rest Of the day
she hangs about and does little Of everything.
Hobbies are SO expensive" said friend to
me. But there she was wrong. A hobby
should either cost next to nothing, or else It
should pay it's own way and even make little
pocket money for its owner. incidentally,
owner" IS the wrong term, for really good
hobby owns the person who started it.
It is no use setting out to look for hobby

clap her hands and laugh at the fu-
tility of that other key. She listen
ed intently, her head cooked toward
the door, as footsteps retreated down
the hall. Then her eyes, rowing
gloatingly about her refuge, fell
upon the three bottles of poison
which she had left in plain sight up
on the writing table. Running to
the table she gathered them up in
her icy, shaking fingers and looked
wildly about for q means Of Destroy

Pursuing the work begun at the University
Of Chicago on a new Dictionary Of the Ameri-

in editorial charge Of the undertaking, has re-
turned from Oxford where he secured all the
material contributed by Americans for the
monumental Oxford English dictionary. Pro-
lessor Craigie was one Of the editors-in-chief
of the Oxford dictionary, which took SO years
to complete. Under the direction of Professor
Craigie and his assistant. George Watson, who
worked on the Oxford dictionary for 20 years,

ers will make excerpts not only from the lead.
ing American authors but from newspapers,
local records and even advertisements. But
why should it be called the Dictionary Of the
American Language? We speak and write the
English language in spite Of the efforts of anti
British agitators to call it something else. Il

Chicagoan furore.

Laughing at Children

Do you laugh at your child when he makes
Judicrous mistakes in speech, or when he asks
apparently foolish questions? Do you call him
u when adult guests arrive and have him 60
through his little stock of tricks for them?
It you do, you are doing your child greet
wrong, and the time will come when he will
suffer for it, even if you don't.
This is on the word Of DR.. Garry Cleveland
Myers, head Of the division of parental educa-
ton of Western Reserve University, who has
made an extended study Of child psychology.
Laughing at child, DR.. Myers explains, de.
stroys its personality. A child asks questions
in order to add to its very limited stock Of
knowledge; when laughed at or ridiculed, he is
hurt and decides to stop asking questions-in
other words, to censor his remarks, to repress
his natural development, to stunt his mental
growth.
Inducing child to perform" for company
+ just - bad. The child is made the center
q attention, and comes to expect it always.
But Is 1t grows older this trait makes It q
nuisance. The child finds that attention is
suddenly shifted away from it, though it be-
haves just as it always did. Who can measure
the suffering that child in such situation
endures?
The wise parent, according to DR.. Myers.
never laughs ct his child's mistakes, no matter
how funny they are; nor does he ever, under
any consideration, make the child show Off
be3ore callers.
