 It is now generally recognized that vita mins A and D, found prin- cipally in cod liver oil, are essential for the growth Of the human body and Of the greatest importance in sustaining resistance to disease.
 Nitamin p has been traced 10 its source and can now be produced artificially.
 Of ,itamin A not SO much is known. The British Medical Re search Council in its report taa5- 1aoO points out that the proportion of Njtamin X in the liver fats of tho salmon and the halib1lt are more than one hundred times as rich as cod liver oil.
 Use of Liver Eat
 The liver fats Of the sheep, calf and OK contain ten times as much ,itamin A as good col liver oil. and from 200 to i ,hno times more Nltamin \ than a good average sample Of butter. Nitamin 4 can therefore be supplied to the diet by the use of liver fat. either with but ter or oleomargarinc. or in some other way. The fats extracted from the livor Of animals are entirely free from the unpleasant flavor of fish oils.
 Herbiyoro,ls animals do not, how ever. store vjtamin D in the liver as do the fish. but ,itamin D can now be obtained by irradiating crgosterol.
 Loss Through Deficiency
 The British Medical Research Council says that there can be no reasonable doubt from all the evil dcnce now available that the great majority of the British public suf- fors from q deficiency Of these es- sentlal parts Of food. IL says, furthermore, that the cost Of this deficiency in human suffering and in economic loss is in- calculablc but certainly vast. No 1 doubt, the application of the knowl- edge now available regarding the places in which Nitamins A and D are to be had soon will be applied practically to the great benefit oi the human race.

There was much ha ppiness and great rejoicing in the Old Orchard. The arrival of Win.ome Eluehird Welcome Robin and Little Friend the Song Sparrow all in one day meant to the feathered folk of the Old Orchard and to Happy Jack Squirrel and to Chafterer the Red squirrel that beyond 2. doubt sweet Mistress Spring would soon arrive.

Do Not Crush Latent Talent in

Fresh air is as necessary to nu- triton as food.
 AS children grow older and rec reation takes the form of parties and dances, it becomes q problem to keep them from snatching too eagerly at the new delight and turn in. honest fun into dissipation. It is a wise rule to allow this sort Of recreation only on Friday and Sat urday evenings. X proper amount, however, should be encouraged. Let your child splash with vivid ly colorcd paints and model his unbelievable fancies in clay. Out Of his first hand experience with the raw material of art is apt to srow genuine apprecia tion of that which is great and enduring. Every child has the same right ] to have his talents exercised as to have all his limbs developed. A tal- ent will often lie latent for years because the possessor IS never brought into contact with the enNl- ronment which would bring it out. 1 Children ought to be put into possession Of all the possible means of expressing talent musical in- 1 ls'rumcnts. color. tools and materials suitable to their age.
 ! They should also have access 10 1 the society of people of all ages,
 and those differently situated from
 themselves 10 bring out any talent
 they may have for social living, for leadership of politics. And they should be brought into contact with ,cycry possible kind of work.
 Merely seeing things done Will
 often call forth the latent aptitude
 which the parent or teacher has incycr suspected.
 1 Every baby should enjoy daily a brief period Of crying.
 "t,nioy" is the right word. for the crying will be as great pleasure to him as (; ten-mlnute walk IS LOT the adult who has spent all day at
 his desk. Crying is about the only
 significant gymnastics m when the infant jndulgcs. He takes in great culps of oxygen. churns the blood Iranidly through his whole body purl-
 fos It. and at last brings himself
 to a rudIy glow. Tfrhaps TWO oi
 three minutes is sufficient, tour or
 five at most. for this valuable ath-
 letlc performance.

THE STORY OF CIVILIZATION
Erasmus Refuses Cardinals Hat
Written for The Times By Will Durant

Smiths and carpenters were sent
to remove the images from the
churches. The unfortunate saints
were cruelty handled. Strange
that none of them worked a mira
Gle to avenge their dignity, when
before they had worked so many
at the slightest behest.
Not a statue was left in church,
niche or monastery. The paint
ings on the wall were white
washed. What would not burn
was broken to pieces Not a
saint stirred a finger.
In 1882 the popa asked him tc
arrange a peace with Luther, and
offered him high emoluments. He
refused to try, except on terms
which the pope considered as radi-
cal as Luthers. AT the same time
Melanchthon, from the side of the
Reformers, begged him to come to
the diet of Augsburg to effect a
Cancellation.
All Europe looked to him to bring
peace to a torn world; the Reform
ers began to speak well of him, the
pope offered him a cardinals hat
which he refused. But when the
time came to go to Augsburg his
health had broken down, and he
could not stir. Suddenly, in 1886
he died. Europe as a reality dice
with him; thereafter it was but a
name.

compass and corrected navigation charts.
These early charts of the Mediterranean coasts
were known as compass charts This because
they were orented by the compass. All bearings
from one port to another given as compass di-
rectons.
All this based, of course, upon the assumption
that the compass always pointed exactly to the north
This assumption had become widespread because
in Europe in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries
the deviation of the compass form the true north
very slight AS result, whenever slight varia-
tons noted they were inscribed to faults in the
construction of the compass.
But when Columbus sailed across the Atlantic, he
came into part of the earth where the magnetic
variation was pronounced.
On Sept 10, 1892, as Columbus own diary told, the
compass varied whole point to the northwest.
The diary goes on to say that the seamen ter
rifed, but did not tell Columbus the reason. Later
he discovered what it The next day the COM
pass was found to be correct
Most authorities have assumed that Columbus
tinkered with the compass, changing the position Of
the compass card in order to alay the fears of his
men.
Columbus notes in his diary the behavior of the
compass his subsequent voyages.
Therefore he must be credited with two great dis
coveries about the compass, first that it does not
point exactly north. and second that the amount of
variation is different in different Localities.

Sure WAY to Lose

Prosperity has certainly taught us
how to gamble, and not only how
to gamble, but how to like it.
We are satisfied with per cent
so long as it represents safety, but
we are not satisfied with it to the
extent of sacrificing the opportunity
to make a killing.
Men who enable us to make a
killing look pretty good, no matter
how they do it, and we can gen.
orally find a way to give them the
benefit of the doubt.
AS between plain honesty and
double dividends, the latter repre-
sent temptation which it is hard
to resist.
People who are making money
find it very easily to compromise
with their conscience, but while
compromise with conscience may
seem fine for the moment because
of what it brings in, it never fails
to represent a loss in the end.

Congress Makes a Record

A tired Congress adjourned yesterday. For almost
six months it had abored faithfully, often without the
full appreciation and support of the country Despite
some notion to the contrary these Representatives
and Senators work when in Washington they GER
tainly have worked this year.
In this session there has been less craftsmanship per-
haps than customary in campaign years. Though the
total authorized expenditures Of $460o000000 estab
1shed record for peacetme most of the increases
required by rising costs of growing Nation and
emergency legislation, such Mississippi flood con-
troll 1t was not pork barrel session.
Major accomplishments include, in addition to the
flood control act tax reduction postal rate reduction,
German American war claims settlement, $780,
100000 public building program, increased appropria-
tons for agricultural extension work and reforesaon
a merchant marine act, and $20OOO0O0 salary in
crease for underpaid Government employees
Congress tried to meet the farmers demand for
relief by passing the McNary Haugen bill, providing
revolving fund and equalization fee for marketing
surplus products The President vetoed the bill as
unconstitutional and fallacious.
This paper shares many of the Coolidge objec-
tons to the measure, though it believes that agri-
culture has as much right as manufacturing and
shipping industries to special protection
We think the farmers now will be driven, and
properly So to equalizing their economic status with
the rest of the country by lowering the protective
tariff on industries no longer infants
The revenue act is a good one For this much Of
the credit due the President He stood out against
demands of the Democrats and the United States
Chamber of Commerce for a tax reduction of more
than $30o0ooo0O.
Perhaps the Federal budget might have balanced
had the revenue cut exceeded the 1922 provided
by the new act but this the safer figure.
In a campaign year when Congress and the Presi-
dent are subjected to unusual pressure for pork ap
preparations and excessive tax reduction, there
danger of Federal deficit, which is passed.
Of equal Importance, the tax law leaves sufficient
margin for continued rapid retirement of the public
debt To burden future generations with the costs
of the war would be as unsound financially and
morally
Congress did well to remove the automobile tax
on the pledge of manufacturers that the entire
ing would be passed on to the public.
Thanks to the progressives of both parties, the
Administration failed in its efforts to abolish the in
heritance tax.
congress is especially to be commended for its
