Dragons

One of the strangest Of industries is the
dragon bones medicine" industry of China.
The medicine" is made from powdered fos-
SLICED bones and sold to the gullible as dragon
medicine, the manufacturers encouraging the
popular superstition that bones used in the
preparation are those of dead dragons.
Scientists, studying the fossil deposits in
which the bones for dragon medicine" are
mined, have found fossils Of tapir, rhinoc-
eros, prehistoric lion, and stegedon, but moth
ing that even resembles the skeleton Of q
dragon as are pictured in Chinese art and en-
ployed in Chinese architecture.
Whatever the origin of the dragon or the
efficacy of dragon bones" as medicine. the
accomplishments and tastes of the nine differ
ent types of dragons of which mention is made
in Oriental literature and which are extern
sively used in Chinese designs are many and
remarkable.
Chinese superstition has it that one dragon
fears the whale and cries out in thunderous
tones when attacked by the marine monsters.
Another is said to be fond Of music and third
is patron of literature. Other types are sup
posed to like water, or are killers, or crave
danger.
The true dragon as it appears in the highly
imaginative Oriental mind has the head of a
camel, the horns Of deer, eyes Of rabbit,
ears OF cow, neck of snake, belly of frog.
scales of carp, claws of hawk and palm t,f
tiger.
1t has never been definitely determined
whether the Chinese dragon is purely prod
uct of the mind Of superstitious people or
whether it is the modern version of tradition
handed down through the thousands of years
since the dinosaur inhabited this planet.

WASHINGTON a
LETTER s,yMs$

Lowman's ..omination came be
fore the Senate. Curtis caused il
to be held up. Congressman Per-
Smell, an Amherst classmate Of
President Coolidge, carried to thu
White House that Curtis demanded
less open political activity in gov
eminent departments. Not lorg at
terward. Secretary Mellon advised
Under-secretary Mills that he haC
better play the right kind Of poll.
tics or words to that effect. Mills
passed tn, word to Lowman. The
gag was on.
Now this is the first time ths
the hand of the White House has
beer detected in the current con.
test. The incident was not conclu-
sive, but it tended to confirm the
general suspicion that neither Cool
;dge nor Mellon was enthusiastic
o9er Hoover.
1t was especially embarrassing to
Mills, who had been having his
trouble in trying to land on the
New York delegation to the Kansas
City convention, thanks to the
do .nant anti-Hoo er politicians in
his home state.
Naturally, there were those mean
enough to say it indicated an un-
friendly attitude at the White
HouSe toward Hoover and that it
might we'll serve to recall the fact
that Coolidge hadn't promised not to
refuse a denomination. All of which
helped add to the new agitation for
another statement from the presi-
dent, whose attitude was last re-
,rted to be that he didn't care to
mix into the campaign any further,
especially since the "draft Cool
'dge" cry was now being used by
politicians against both Hoover and
Lowden.
Assuming that Coolidge and Mel
Ion don't want either Hoover OF
Dawes in the White House if they
can help it-and that's what one
hears-and assuming that they
aren't hoping it will be forced on
Coolidge-which one doesn't hear
so much - what candidate might
have their enthusiastic support?
The answer probably is Mr.
Charles Evans Hughes, who was
much more emphatic than Coolidge
in refusing to run. If Hoover and
Dawes deadlock, Hughes is likely
to be nominated. Men don't refuse
the presidency when it's handed ia
them on a platter. If Hughes felt
assured Of election. he wouldn't re-

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question:: A Reader asks: "What
would cause neurasthenia in a girl,
"a years old, and is it the same as
nervous prostration? Also, does it
lead to insanity, as have read in
these Culture" books 2"
Answer: The term neurasthenia
is applied to many types of nervous
disorders. Nervous prostration is
simply an exaggerated form Of
neurasthenia. Most insane people
were neurasthenics at one time, but
all conditions Of nervousness can be
overcome if you will make a care

feet physical health.
Question: x. Y. Z. asks: "What
is wrong with a meal Of onions,
potatoes, meat, and pie with
whipped cream? Would fish in
place Of the meat be equally
wrong?"
Answer: There are plenty of rea-
sons why the meal you suggest
would be bad one. Anyone who
wishes to be careful of his diet
should avoid the gas-forming onion,
as well as the combination of meat
and potatoes. Just try this: Eat

after each of these meals will con-

meat.
Question: c. v. writes: 81 have

Washington, March CIT looks
as if President Coolidge may have
to speak up again.
Either many persons in politics
are dumb, which is not exactly an
impossibility, or the president has
been ambiguous.
The Republican party's situation
seems to be without parallel. Never
was there such hardy plant as
the draft Coolidge" movement.
Each time the president speaks, the
candidates Of the various aspirants
for the nomination pick up a little
speed. Then, after awhile, they all
slow down and one begins to hear
again that Mr.. Coolidge will be
compelled to take it. So it was
after Mr.. Coolidge said he didn't
choose to run, so it has been since
he declared himself eliminated.
And now, again, comes the call for
him to explain himself.
There is really one thing that
can put a stop to this little cycle.
If the president declares openly
and most emphatically that he won't
accept denomination under any cir
cumstances, one is not likely to hear
much more about drafting him from
Big Bill Thompson, Charlie Hilles
Of New York, Senator Butler Of
Massachusetts or anyone else.
The Hoover folks are especially
anxious that Mr.. Coolidge make
some such statement since the adj
ministration muzzled federal Off
Gals here who had been ballyhoo-
ing COR the secretary of commerce.
The muzzling was effected on the
ground that it was embarrassing
the president, but the outcome
caused even more embarrassment in
the Hoover camp. It was, in fact,
the first real victory the anti
Hoover politicians had won.
AS your correspondent gets the
story. it happened thus: Senator
Charlie Curtis had boiled over with
wrath for weeks at reports of in
creasing Hoover strength. Curtis
felt that false claims were being
made for Hoover and that the pub
lie was being misled as to the at
titude Of the administration, mean
ing Coolidge and Secretary Mellon.
Under-secretary Ogden Mills and
Assistant Secretary Seymour Low
man persisted, from their treasury
sanctums, in boostirg Hoover, and
Curtis finally exploded.

Marye, my dear:
I'm afraid you don't appreciate
all the privileges of marriage. Free
speech is one of them. I don't mean
to say that a husband or wife should
be rude to each other or say any
thing they like, but there are times
when it is absolutely necessary to
blow off steam.
You're still at the serious age in
matrimony, dear. That is, you take
seriously everything your husband
says when he is in a temper. But
when you've been married longer you
will be able to smile at your present
attitude.
If Alan lost his temper because
you stalled the car I'm sure it was
due to nervous excitement and really
had nothing to do with you except
indirectly.

ing any other woman to drive he
wouldn't have cared so much when

A STUDY OF APPETITE

Normal hunger for food will only
occur with a person who is of nor
NAL size and who does enough ply
steal exercise 70 make the bodily
tissues call for nourishment.
If desire for food comes only af-
ter one has started to eat, it must
be called a Cultivated" appetite
and cannot be true hunger. Some
times this "false" appetite disap-
pears after one has taken only a
Eouthfuls Of food and this also
cannot be called true hunger.
Anorexia
The loss Of both appetite and
hunger is designated by the word
"anorexia." With this condition
there is a perfect aversion for food
and every kind Of food is distaste-
full. This is usually caused by some
kind of gall bladder or liver dis
order and may be due to what is
commonly known as "biliousness."
ParOxia
When there is only an appetite
for unusual substances we speak Of
"paroxia." One with this condition
may like to eat only pickles or
perhaps candy or some other food
with decidedly agreeable taste.
Eulimia
When a patient becomes hungry
soon after a neal we speak of
"bulimia." This, of course, is a
distinct perversion Of appetite and
cannot come from real hunger. It
is rather a common condition with
those who have a certain mild form
of gastritis. The insistent irrita-
ton of the stomach makes one
imagine he is hungry for more food
when in reality the delicate lining
membrane Of the stomach is in an
inflor,ed condition and already
overdistended with food. Adding
r ore food ,nly makes the trouble
worse and does not relieve the
-lptom.
Polyphagia
When a patient takes large
amount of food much more than at
his regular meals, we speak of
"polyphagia" which is very much
the same as ''bulima." This is the
typical gluttonous type and wher-
yer ten people are gathered at the
able you vii, find at least one or
wo who suffer from "polyphagia,"
which is just a polite way for say
ing they are germ ands. The cause
# this abnormal desire for large
quantities Of food must be consid-
cred as due to mental conditions, al
though a cure can often be accom-
,lished through this type of people
forcing themselves to live on an
abstemious diet over a period of
several weeks.
Acoria
When there is no feeling Of sa-
ticty no matter how much the pa
tient takes we speak Of "acoria."
The cause of this is very similar
to that of polyphagia.
All such perversions of appetite
must be considered partly from
their mental causes and also from
their physical causes. The one with
an irritated nervous system may
develop anv lie of these abnormal
tiles or perversions of appetite.
Where there is an aversion to food
or abnormal desire or craving
for large quantities Of food. an ad-

IN NEW YORK

New York, March 9. Now and
then the subway sardine turns into q
whale, leaving confusion and turmoil
in his wake.
Now and then, on a rain-splashed
day, with the wind whipping a minor
waterfall around the Times building,
the half-light Of the underground
station becomes a terrifying spec
tacle. Standing at safe distance and
watching the battle of milling mobs,
/ often have imagined that in such
a scene is captured the spirit that
moves the masses in time Of revo-
luton. Life, limb and the rights OF
others are forgotten. 1t becomes a
great mob struggle for the clicking
turnstiles with women, children and
old folk caught hclplessly in the
struggling stream.
Here are people who, just mo-
ment before, hurried through the
streets, more or less human beings,
possessed of the usual decencies and
chivalrous attitudes. Once they have
Joined the turbulent river, however,
they are changed to snarling, push
ing, fighting organisms, ready to
bowl over anything that stands in
their way.
It is not often that these scenes
are staged. Ordinarily, the subway
sardine is a long-suffering creature.
He is willing to be crushed and
pressed into sandwich shape, while
clinging precariously to a strap. He
stands the sudden turns of the train
and the sudden stops at stations. He
grows accustomed to having his feet
trod upon and his coat all but pulled
off him.
But when storms sweep the mid
town belt, an unusual strain is put
upon the Times Square station at the
rush hour. Thousands upon thou
sands pour in out Of the street, chok-
ing the runways and the walks that
lead from shuttle to main stem and
from uptown to downtown plat.

"nickel-change" stands try to handle

in the girly-girly attractions. They

things didn't go along so we'll. So
they divorced.
Yet he still composes music for
shows in which his ex-wife appears,
and thinks her one of the best per-

generally to be found in the audi

her capers. He almost invariably
