ABLE DIPLOMATS

Whether or not Mr. Hoover will use drastic methods
in overhauln; the diplomatic service in Latin America
is quite plain that Latin America will hold prominent
place In his attentions and that to it. its problems and
its relations with this nation has been giving serious

An example of the bcneficent result of the appont-
ment to tho Central and South American countries OF
ENJOYS OF the first order is that Of Mr. Morrow aas.
sador to Mexico Before he took over the work. Mexicos
relations with the United States were muddled and
strained In short time Mr. Morrow changed the situa.
ton almost completely because he was an extremely
able man who devoted all his abilities to his work. Tho
same thing noted in American diplomatic successes
IN China in comparison with frequent bunsine in the
past III Mexico and the Caribbean nations
The difference was that there was q policy in China
guided by specialists Of vision and feeling and an
attitude In Mexico tbefore Mr.. Morrows mc) and in
nearby nations which. because no sound knowledge
dictated it. could hardly be called policy At ALL
What the relations OF the United States with foreign
nations will be during the four years will dep.nd
not upon exchanges Of anniversary messages Of good will
nor upon made--congrcss treaties but upon the tact

EVERYBODY NEEDS 10 PLAY

considered the privilege Of children

everyone, adults included. The abil.
ity to relax and enjoy games and
merry-making Is . necessary 1actof
to well balanced life in this rapidly
changing, hurry-up age. People VINO
can enjoy wholesome recreation never
become neurotics.
Many Of the large towns are pro-
viding municipality owned parks
bathing beaches and Fairgrounds for
adults aS well as children. The pop
ularizing of games undoubtedly Gre

The present predominance Of the

and the ability OF sustained effort
which will carry 1t through life and
prove Of great advantage In all Of the
contests Of business. society. or poll

Playing Is one Of natures methods
OF educating the young. Modern
educators have come to realize that
a child's character can be nodded to
large extent by various types Of
games. Educational, well supervised
Fairgrounds should be provided for
country children as we'll as city chill
dren.
Fairgrounds will do much to pre-
vent children from playing In the
streets. It is a tragical fact that at
least one half of all the deaths caused
by automobiles occur to children be-
low the age of fifteen. In any city
or town it is not unusual to see
swarms Of children playing in the
streets. With the high speed Of mod
ern automobiles, this condition is not
only undesirable but actually 81
serious as to warrant legislative ac-
ton.
Most cities grow without definite
planning and it is undoubtedly diff
cult to provide Fairgrounds In con-
venient locations in many Of them
but this could be done If the Cham
bers Of Commerce Of the various
cities would actively work for this
highly desirable condition. Very
likely the alleys, which are now un-
usually dirty and garbage strewn
could be fitted up as well groomed
parks SO that city children would
have Fairgrounds at their own back
yards and In this way avoid the
necessity of crossing many blocks of
dangerous traffic to find room to ex-
ercise their inherent right to play.

A JAR OF BEADS
BY ALICE JUDSON PEALE

ny AA1N6 SOD0O1v 0AA6
Helen's father brought home to her
a glass jar full Of smooth. bright COL
ored beads. The lid Of the jar
screwed on and off. and there was a
little card around which was wound
a lovely pink cord for stringing.
Helen was only three and she found
the gift absorbing. It was fun. to
screw and unscrew the lid. although
the feat required her whole concen-
tration and taxed to the utmost the
skill Of her pudgy fingers. It was fun,
too. to take out q few Of the beads at
time, putting some on the table,
some on chair and some In the doll
carriage.
Her father sat watching her. Once
or twice he suggested that he could
show her how to string the beads, but
she paid no attention. Finally, he
could endure her dilly -dallying with
the new plaything no longer.
Helen" he called, ''come here.
Look what you've done. You've got

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
DrainaRe After Onefation

Question: Mrs. H. A. 3. writes: II
have had an open sore on my back for
eight years. Have been operated on
my back three times and this has
been draining ever since. Have lung
trouble. and the lung Is gone on the
side where I have the sore. Also have
three or four ribs out and have q big
cavity which Is packed every day by
nurse. Gould you tell me how this
draining could be stoppedp"
Answer: In some cases the con-
tinued draining from an operation
can be stopped by using the fasting
and dieting regime. It may be neces.
sary to repeat the fast at frequent in
tervals Of about one month APART un.
til Improvement is noticed. OF course.
1t may be that some local irritation
or foreign substance Is preventing the
healing and this would have to be
removed. The actinic light treatment
might also be helpful for this trouble.
