Washington, Oct. 1O.-Senator j.
Boomboom McWhorter, whose prin-
cipal worry in life for several years
has been the grave question whether
his meat and potatoes would come
out even, is now beset by trials and
tribulations calculated to make most
of his private speeches unfit for
publication.
The senator's campaign for re-
election is not going SO we'll. The
fact that McWhorter is himself no
longer certain of victory was DEM
onstrated the other day when,
after his opponent had claimed the
election by a majority of $4,000, the
senator himself only claimed it by
$4,000.
McWhorter's managers, Of course
fastened to cover up his gesture
Of defeat by asserting that the SEN
ator hadn't seen his opponents
claim or he would have raised him
5000 or 10000.
When the national committee
heard Of Senator McWhorter's
troubles they ADVISED hlm that II
he would avoid all national issues
in his campaign and say nothing
about the presidential candidates
he could have anyone he wanted te
go on a stumping tour with him
Senator McWhorter agreed ant
wrote back suggesting Clara Bow
but had no reply.
OF course, the McWhorter misfor
tunes aren't all his fault. Some
one should have told him when HI

DO WE NEED MORONs?

"w. - coming 70 recognize" remarks DR.. c. E. A.
Winslow professor in the Yale Medical School, that
the high-grade moron is perhaps necessary ana ae
sirabe element in civilization that involves the per-
formance of so many routine tasks repusive to the
mentally alert
This statement is taken from an article by Dr. VIM
slow in the current Golden Book in which he sets forth
the pleasing proposition that II IS good tn'"s '' "
Of us are not quite bright.
II we were all gifted with alert, capable brains, the
doctor says we would not be happy. There are in the
world many unpleasant jobs to be done; intelligent
neople do not care to do them hence indisputably
is necessary that we have host Of morons who will
do the work without getting discontented and dreaming
of better things.
This is very fine doctrine if you sitting some
where near the top of the social heap, and IT, in add
ton YOU feel that civilization today needs only
little bit of tinkerng here and there to be absolutely
nerfect Otherwise, however, it is apt to be rather
depressing.
For It happens that the world changes We no longer
assent to the old Bourbon idea, that all is well il only
the wel-born few are happy During recent years we
have come to see that it is precisely the average man
the man who has to do the unpleasant tasks, re
nulsiye to the mentally alert'-that is important II
he is not happy, then the world needs remakng.
Dr. Winslow's idea apparently is that if this aver
age man is cny dumb enough he will be content Wt'
his lot. But the world old not spin INTO lo1i ou' VI
glowing stardust merely in order that should raise
a hundred million people content with cheap movies
and tawdry amusement parks. The moron submerged
in poverty and not caring to RISE not designed by
heaven for that lot
To be sure from certain viewpoints population OF
morons would be an advantage. big ndustrial'st

A SURPRISING BUT HAPPY REACTION
4: I'LL ~

When one considers the sharpness OF the American
note to Britain is rather remarkable that the British

sure the Anglo-French bargain, namely that France
was to be supported in it's small submarine contention
by Britain and Britain in her small cruiser contention
by France did not exactly represent Anglo-Frenc
alliance But the British press. the British puo ana
the American state department all scented an alliance
in the making. All felt that the agreement would oe
followed by another agreement and then another and
would be tied together in old-fashoned thorough

The British press and the British public are con-
vnccd that the wise policy for Britain to pursue is
one which first of all will not antagonize America,
and secondariy which will make possblc-lnevitable
enlightened body of opinion in Britain IS against any
resumption Of these continental alliances Whlch were
regarded as the foundation of British policy In tht

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: O. ]. writes: About
ten wears ago fell and landed on
my knees and since then they give
way at times and I almost fall. They
make a gritting sound, and wonder
if you could tell me something to
use as q massage"
Answer: Massage will be Of little
use to you in correcting the trouble
with your knees. Go to a physical
culture instructor and have him give
YOU some EXERCISES which will
strengthen your leg muscles. Some
times the diathermy electrical treat
ment will help in the correction OF
such troubles caused by accidents.
The action of the diathermy current
is to warm the tissues Of the knees
including the bones. Metabolism in
these parts is increased and the ef-
feet is far deeper than anything
which can be obtained by massage.
Question: o. B. asks: "Will you
please tell me in your health column
| the cause, symptoms and cure Of a
| floating or wandering kidney?"
Answer: The kidneys are not
definitely anchored in an exact posi-
tion, but change their position
slightly with. the movements Of the
body. Those who have general
proiapsus of abdominal organs will
find that the kidneys are always
lower down than is considered nor
NAL. There are seldom any definite
symptoms except those which &c
with the general prolapsus. The
backache and bearing-dowp feelings
associated with prolapsus are seldom
caused by the floating kidneys alone
but come from the general weakness
Of abdominal and back muscles
which allow the prolapsus to exist
. The only cure is in raising these
; organs through strengthening tn.
, abdominal and back muscles by tax
! ing suitable sctting-up exercises.
