WASHINGTON 81
LETTER &M

ham and Fess. Such gents as these
and Waterman Of Colorado, another
friend, have tried to make it cleal
all along that the president hadn't
said he wouldn't take it if it were
handed to him on a platter.
This is the sort Of situation
furthermore, wherein the presi-
dental silence on the point tends
strongly to indicate that he would
be willing to run again if the honor
were forced upon him. No one can
deny that the president came clean
when he had the chance to effect his
own renor nation and all kinds of
chances to block Hoover's nomina-
ton.
There is no indication whatever
that he hasn't kept his hands off,
honestly and sincerely. But it is
quite understandable that man who
could have served full eight years
if he had been elected in the ordi-
nary manner might feel that ne was
being cheated of a couple of years
when only permitted to serve five
years and half. With circum.
stances thus initiating against him
it appears as if Coolidge agreed with
his close friends that another cleo
ton wouldn't really violate the third
term tradition.
Your correspondent has had &C.
casion to point this out ever since

The relationship Of the heart to

cred that blood passes from arteries

have, since that time, discovered a
great deal more about the blood's

blood, itself, comprises only about
eight per cent Of the body's weight,
while twenty-five per cent of the
body's weight is made up Of the

In health, the circulation Of the
blood through the arteries, veins,
and capillaries harmonizes with the
circulation Of lymph or watery

Intellectual Advance

It is the prediction of Kansas educator that
the country will need "seven Harvards and
seven Yales" and compulsory school age OF
Is or FL years at the end of another half Gen.
tury if the present demand for education is
maintained for that length of time.
The time of the so-caled self-made man is
past. Trained and cultured men are being
sought by big business. One Of the self-made
men Of yesterday is author Of the statement
without the assistance Of the college and uni
versity trained men.
1t is the judgment of leading educators that
this nation is on the threshold of an ntellec-
tual movement unparalleled even by the cu.-
tural eras of Egypt, Athens and Rome. The
country's educational facilities are already
woefully inadequate, and, unless greatly aug
mented, will seriously hinder this intellectual
advance.
This appears to be a natural development
common to all civilized countries. Learning
has always followed the acquisition of great
wealth. Mans turning from the quest of mate
rial wealth to the quest of learning is natural
sequence. Mental development in its several
manifestations in literature, philosophy.
science, music and arts always to be found
after periods of intensive production Of mate
rial wealth. The principle has been demon
strated by the Egyptians, the Athenians and
the Romans.
The history of these three ancient cultures
is a warning to American civilization that to
halt in this intellectual advance will prove
fatal. It must strive ever onward and upward
or slip backward. There can be no decline and
fall" of the American empire if this era of cul-
tural advance is not followed by period of in
tellectual apathy and retardation, resulting in
RIGHTEOUSNESS and prodigality.

Washington, Feb. 23.-About ev.
cry tenth intelligent person in this
great gossip mart with whom your
correspondent exchanges gossip or
dull afternoons expresses the EN-.
phatic opinion that President Cool
idge will be renominated by the Re-
publicans at Kansas City.
Another tenth believes that "some
dark horse" will get it, and the rest
are divided between Hoover and
Dawes, with Hoover in something of
a majority. These divisions are not
representative Of personal desires
and have no particular Importance,
although your correspondent under
takes to gossip with such persons as
are most likely to know what's going
on.
There has been a mild revival re-
Gently Of the "draft Coolidge" talk,
and that may we'll be a significant
item in the current tanning.
Mr.. Coolidge, Of course, is not a
candidate. Neither is Vice President
Dawes, but if Hoover fails to win a
majority Of delegates the choice is
likely to lie between them. In case
of a deadlock, Dawes has been con-
sidered the most logical compromise,
but if the Forthcoming struggle be-
comes bitter enough, the Hoover
crowd, already considering the vice
president the one big threat in
Hoover'S path, may turn to Coolidge
if only to keep the nomination from
Dawes.
1t is to be remembered, Of course,
that politicians will turn about face
just as often and as quickly as they
think they stand to get something
out Of it, but that fact might cut
either way, as between Dawes and
Coolidge.
The point just now is, however

callent chances of victory, that

Then I'd have to tell you that it's

people used to be slow is that they

One Of the duties Of poet is to phrase great
! truths so they will stick in our minds.
{. Unfortunately, the poet sometimes does this
| so well that his phrase is repeated too often.
Then it becomes a hackneyed jingle, and we
! are prone to smile in superior way when we
I hear it.
Such phrase, for example, is the famiar
quotation: "Lives of great men oft remind
/. us we can make our lives sublime That has
been repeated too often; its repetition brings
to mind school children earnestly reciting it
on visitors day." 1t smacks of the copy
book, trite and platitudinous.
Yet it expresses truth One OF the pest
ways you can spend your time is in reading
biographies of great men.
sssehThis is presidential year. One of the ways
cnIs, voter can prepare for it is by reading the
takers Of the leading candidates. Doing that
twill not only help him to cast his vote intel.
ligently; it will prove as interesting task as
he could find for the long winter evenings.
It is encouraging for example, to read OF
Dawes, the penniless attorney in small west
ern city, fighting his way to the top; of Hooy-
er, working his way through college and toll
ing with pick and shovel in gold mine after
graduation; of Smith, born in tenement over
barber shop, quitting school at Is to help
support his family, rising to become his excel
lency, the governor OF New York.
There are a great many ambitious young
men in this country, but many of them get
discouraged too easily. Il want to get ahead
i but there's no future in this job"-haven't you
heard that again and again? The fact of the
.matter is-as reading of biographies shows
that any job can "have future if the man
Willing it so wills it.
George Bernard Shaw. for instance, started
sin life as an employee of a London telephone
company. Probably he had an occasional doubt
that there was any chance for advancement in
his job. AL Smith, at the end of his first terri,
in the New York legislature, wanted to quit
politics altogether; he was convinced he never
could "get anywhere" that way. Henry Ford,
when he was earning his living as night man
in power house, must have wondered if he
hadn't been side-tracked.
All Of this is perfectly obvious, of course.
But it is so easy to forget it; SO easy to give
way to Encouragement, to feel that all the ave-
nues Of advancement have been closed.
Each mans opportunity lies within himself
That is lesson everyone learns, but many for
get. If you happen to be one of those who
have forgotten, 60 to the library and draw out
few biographies. They'll do you good.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: Mrs. S. /. M. writes:

his head. / have been using iodine.
but it does not seem to check it. Will
you please advise me what to do?"
Answer: Any physician or drug
gist should be able to give you
remedy to kill the ringworm infec-
ton, but such treatment would only
be temporary until your boy gets rid
Of the systemic acidosis which makes
the ringworm possible. His diet
must be corrected just the same as
Il he were subject to eczema or psor-
iasis or any other skin disorder. A
real cure is internal and not ex-
ternal.
Question: Mrs. A. G. asks: "Do
potatoes contain a great deal Of
starch, and what are the best ways Of
nrnnarinU them 30
Answer: A potato contains only
from IA per cent to 20 per cent of
starch. Boiling without removing
the skin, is probably the best way Of
cooking it. The skin should be eat
en- along with the rest of the potato.
Otherwise the valuable mineral salts
contained in the skin are lost. Bak-
ing is the next best method. If fried
potatoes are ever used they should
be "French" fried, and great care
should be taken in their preparation
to see that no grease is absorbed
into the potato. The potatL should
be peeled and cut into strips and
dropped into hot olive oil or one Of
the vegetable oils such as Crisco or
Mazda. It is important that the
outside Of the potato be Drowned
quickly so that no grease will soak
IN. When cooked, potatoes should be
drained of all grease in sieve.
Question: Sam asks: us there a
way Of keeping ones ears from stick
ing out?
Answer: The ears may be trained
to grow closer to the head by wear
ing bandages around the head at
night. It is comparatively easy to
train the ears closer to the head in
the case of the child. but of course
takes much longer time to accomp-
fish results with an adult.
