The higher economic status of
young people today is a vital fac
tor in making healthier babies, DR..
Crumbine declared.
THE modern mother may go in
for cigarets, cocktails and gay life
in this so-called jazz age, but, gen.
orally speaking, she is living better,
has better recreation, is better in
formed on health subjects and IS
therefore rearing healthier babies,
despite whatever other traits she
may have acquired.
A 10 per cent increase in wages
means a 10 per cent decrease IN
mortality in many diseases, accord
ing to DR.. Crumbine.
"-THE young woman of today is
L better informed than her
mother was on baby-care. The
modern mother learns proper care
of herself in the prenatal period.
She is able to have the best of care
at childbirth. She gives her baby

tervals for examination, thereby
preventing disease gaining a hold
upon the child"
The mothers freedom of dress,
short skirts, scant underclothes and
penchant for fresh air and sunshine
is reflected in her care of her chill
dren.
"a scant generation ago Or.
Crunbine said, many babies were
virtually smothered in long dresses
and kept in close, insanitsry rooms.
Today, they are being developed into
robust youngsters by plenty OF fresh
air. wholesome milk, health-givlng

WASHINGTON, Aus. New
pressure vas being e1erted today
from this side Of the Atlantic on
the British American naval limita-
ton problem.
Senator William z. Borah, chair
man of the senate foreign rela-
tons committee. has suggested Great
Britain show genuine interest in
disarmament actually by sinking
some OF her ships as the United
States did after the Washington
arms conference.
Great Britain now has flfty-nlne
modern cruisers built. or ouilding-a
tonnage Of $4,000. We now have
eighteen modern cruisers built, or
building" he said.
"If Great Britain will sink some
of her ships. it will not only save the
taxpayer, but reduce the incentive
to war. Huge ornaments always
are an incentive to war"
Al the time Of the Washington
conference. the United States, with
its tremendous battleship building
program under way, was on the
point of outstripping Great Britain.
Now Great Britain is far ahead Of
the United States in cruisers.
The United States has embarked
upon a fifteen-cruiser program
headed toward cruiser parity with
Great Britain, but many in Wash
ington take the view that money
would be saved by both sides if the
relative strength of the two powers
we're pegged at the present Ameri-
can strength.

ASK FOR BOND ISSUE
Irvington School Problem
Passed to Tax Board.

The school board today decided to
pass the problem of what to do
about the new Iryington high school
to the state tax board. Low bids
received Thursday on the school
totaled $753.613. while the board has
appropriated only 100000.
The building and grounds COM
mittee of the school board decided
today to present two plans to the
state tax board. Plan one asks for
an additional bond issue OF 100000,
and plan two calls for transfer
OF $4,000 from the general fund,
and cutting the cost of the building
by eliminating the gymnasium.
The tax board may accept one OF
these proposals. In case both are
rejected it will be necessary to ad-
vertise for new bids.

New Tariff Sliding Scale Is
Given Out by Head Of
Senate Committee,
HOUSE FIGURES CUT
Experts Agree That Utah
Senator Has Effected
Best Compromise.
BY PAUL NfALLON
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug 2. - This
Smoot sliding scale, using the pres
ent sugar tariff duty as basic rata
to maintain refined sugar at 6
cents q pound in New York. was
announced today by its author,
Chairman Reed Smoot Of the sens
ate finance committee.
Smoot contended the scale vir~
tually would wipe out the house
duty and return the sugar rate al
most to the existing law.
At E cents pound, Smoot would
fix the Cuban duty at l.76 cents
and the world rate at 2.20 cents
a pound. the same rates as now are
in force, as compared with "a cents
and 3 cents, which would be set by
the house bill
While Smoot vas making public
MS sliding scale, protest against
action of the committee in boost
ing agricultural tariff rates and
lowering industrial schedules was
made before the committee to-
day by Senator G. H. Moses
(Rep., N. H..
Resentment in East
"A growing feeling of resentment
is felt throughout the east over
what is understood to be the COM
mittee's actions" Moses said. That
is. boosting the duties on agricul-
tural products, the things We have
to buy and eat and taking the
duties off those things We must sell
to buy things to eat
When sugar goes below cents
pound. Smoot gradually would in
crease his duty until it would reach
2.l6 cents for Cuba and 2.70 cents
for the world. when the price was
SIS cents: "a Cuba and cents
world at 80 cents a pound.
THIS maximum Scent rate. which
WIS adopted BY the house would
apply only in case sugar should
drop to 50 cents or below. The Gu
ban differential would make the "a
rate applicable to Cuban imports
when the price drops below 50
cents.
Shoots scale WOULD lower the
duty TO 136 cents for Cuba and 10
cents for the world when the price
reached SIS cents: .96 cent for Cuba
and IL cents for the world when
the price reaches cent, and &
centand cent world when the
price reaches Is cents.
Apply to Refined Grades
The prices apply to refined sugar
in the New York market and are
figured on all grades.
In no case would the duty be low
er than ! cent nor higher than 3
cents and in all cases Cuba would
receive the 20 per cent differential.
Figured on the present New York
sugar rate which Smoot understood
to be SIS the scale would impose
a 2.35 world tariff rate, which would
be IS lower than the fat Scent rate
on the house bill and is above the
present law. Experts agree that
Shoots scale appears to be perfect
compromise between the present law
and the house bill, its rate being
theoretically and generally about 80
per cent above the present law and
80 per cent lower than the house
bill.
The scale has been submitted By
Smoot to the Republican members
Of his committee, who are studying
it. One day, next Wednesday. will
be devoted 10 public hearings
upon it.
Scale Is Announced

their side of the power question before children who

That is Why also, the National Education Assoca-

ganda has found its way into the schools and why

not only what wish done at present about private

Problems for individuals

THESE three professors who
l. wanted to know what a young
man would do if he found himself
engaged to an immoral girl or what
a young woman Wuold do if she
found herself married to an I'M
moral maan, were merely asking
questions which they could not an
sWer and which no human being
knows how he or she will answer
until confronted with the actual
problem.
1t is only necessary to scan court
reports, or follow the daily news, to
realize how beWiIdered all of US are,
how definitely the personal equation
enters into each particular case, or
how suddenly people can change
their minds when such questions
arise.
What to do about them, in so far
as it can be done through law, obvi-
ouSly is an enigma for the most
mature minds to tackle, while in
terest in them so palpably is stimu-
lated by nature, as Wello as human
nature, as to need no artificial
plodding on the part of our educa-
tional institutions.
The best our educational institu-
tionS can do is to lay bare the re-
suits of human experience, the de-
auctions of those who have studied
the subject of human experience,
the deductions of those who have
studied the subject thoroughly and
conscientiously, and quit the quiz
zing.

XXTHAT would you do?" is about
w the idlest question that can
be asked young folks, especially
when it has to do with personal re-
lationS yet to arise and manifestly
is dependent on the peculiar set-up
in each instance.
Men have proclaimed what they
would do under a given set of cir
cumstances since the dawn of time,
only to find out that it was not
what they would do.
1 know a hard-boiled puritan, a
fundamentals dominated by the
narrowest kind of prejudice, who
believed in the double standard
and who professed to have nothing,
except contempt for immoral won-
en-, but who married a harlot and
found happiness without even so
much as realizing that he had
sWerved from his convictions.
I know an allegedly Iiberal-mind-
ed soul who asked nothing of his
wife that he was not willing to give,
which meant nothing, who contend
ed that women had just as much
right to be irregular as men, but
who actually kicked a daughter
from his door when he discovered
her delinquency.

II knoxville, Ten, March o.
IN Three University of Missouri
professors are looking for work.
They sent out a QUESTIONABLE to
1000 students with regard to sex
and sex relations which could not
possibly be answered, except on the
basis of personal prejudice and be-
lief.
The professors themselves could
not have answered on any other
basis, and that is by far the most
important point.
Teachers are asking too many
questions and answering too few.
Students, whose right it is to do the
quizzing, can't seem to get in word
edgeWise.
The big idea, we are informed, is
to teach young folks to think, but
how can they think progressively,
except they are given the chance to
begin where the past leaves off,
unless they have been made reason
ably well acquainted with what
human experience has to offer?
Intelligent thinking is not the
mere act of cudgelling ones brains.
To be the real thing, it must start
with a background.
