power back of this movement seemed
unlimited. The stock was taken in
great blocks all the way up.
United States Steel closed at 1885,,
up 81 points on the day. The high
price was 1879. The close was featured
by wild series of fluctuations in Calu-
met & Arizona At one time the
stock was up 10 points. but half of
this gain was lost almost as abruptly
as 1t was made.
Other Stocks Gain.
Other stocks which for the moment
were favorites moved forward also, but
there was a good deal of selling in the
general list and considerable Irregular

on under cover of the rise in steel.

the end Today it was in active de-

There was nothing spectacular In the
railroad part of the list. but good deal

though further firming of bankers
acceptance rates, development which
preceded a rise in the Federal Reserve
rediscount rate last year, was noted yes
terday, bankers do not look for a jump
in the rediscount rate during the next
few weeks, although such action by the
Reserve Bank is generally regarded as
a probability before Spring. 1t is point
ed out that a higher rediscount rate at
this time would undoubtedly bring a
flow of gold from London. and cause
embarrassment to the Bank of England.

AN AERIAL HELPS HIS GARDEN
oklahoma City Oklahoman)


Vic Stanley of Ponca City, Okla. believes he has made
q new discovery. He has developed a new use for a radio
aerial and there is no static to interfere: that is, If
static is present it is a help and not a nuisance.
Imagine a garden free from insect pests-no beetles on
struggling potatoes; no lady bugs to eat up the squash
vines just as they are ready to bear. They all have been
driven off by electricity.
But this isn't all. On his proving grounds the moleS
have disappeared and Stanley believes that a charge from
the air has also sent them s~currying to other parts.
Fruits and vegetables are greatly improved in both
size and quality. To prove this Stanley exhibited a sack
Of Irish Cobbler potatoes that were as large as the ma
ture product, smooth and entirely free from blight and
scale. They were planted March "a without regard to the
moon and by May 10 were as large as hen eggs. Grapes
in the Stanley garden are now as large as the mature
fruit.
All Of this is done by taking some Of the electricity
from the air and distributing 1t underground. The aerial
is run about twenty feet above the garden, east and west.
Every ten feet copper wires are dropped down. These
are soldered to a galvanized wire that is buried one foot
underground and runs north and south across the
garden.
But weeds grow just as rapidly under the stimulus of
electricity from the afr as do fruits and vegetables. Until
some other discovery is made the gardener will still need
the old faithful hoe and file, Stanley says.

Editorial Comment
THEY RAN AWAY FROM HOME
cortland Oregonlan)

The Travellers Aid society encountered during the past
year several thousand runaway children under 16 years
of age. 1t finds that girls run away from home because
they are dissatisfied with conditions in the home, or be-
cause they believe that fame and fortune await them III
motion pictures. or because they have been misfortunate
in sentimental affairs. Boys are not so emotionany COM
pick. They run away in quest of adventure. One as
sumes that the society not only talked with these chill
dren, but that it helped them in such ways as readily
suggested themselves. Doubtless, however. these children
were but a fraction of the total of runaways.
It cannot be expected that juveniles will be possessed OF
mature judgment. What is mature judgment, for the
matter of that? It often is faulty, prejudiced and un-
sound. About all one can say to children who think that
running away will better their conditions is that it won't.
It won't unless those conditions are far worse than they
are in the average home. There isn't any pot of gold at
the end OF the rainbow. The place that is there becomes
the place that is here. And loneliness, and hunger and
shame are often the rewards of children who run away.
In youth 1t is but natural that there should be an i'm
patience to sample life. That is why matured persons
should not be impatient with the whims of the imnna-
ture. What children should be told, what they should be
brought to see. If possible. Is that life Is as near to them,
and as real. as instructive. as entertaining, at home as
anywhere else. Romance and adventure are always just
around the corner. They. may come tomorrow. But
young folks who run away In search of them. how often
has the world been moved to pity and dismay by what
befell. To all children who are contemplating q quest
for the rainbowis end the very best advice that can pos
sibly be given Is to, wait a while.

on the planet. Notwithstanding the population is greater
than a century ago. the standard Of living is much
higher. Increase could not continue without end. but 1t
would be unsafe to fix any definite limit and say that be-
You'd this population cannot go.
There are regions overpopulated today under the con-
diticns Of agriculture practiced. just as others are under
populated for various reasons. Distribution would cor
rect both conditions. If the time comes when the earth
is unequal to supporting a greater number than are living
on it the situation will work out its own cure. 1t is in
dicated in some ways that the process Of diminishing the
ratio OF increase is already under way.
It has been the rule to reckon two parents and three
children as making up the average family. A survey
covering 23;373 families is reported to have shown that
almost one-fourth had no children living at home, an
other fourth had one child, one-fifth had two children
and less than one third had three or more. In only one
per cent Of the families were two parents and three chill
dren found. As families grow smaller the arrival of pop
ulation limit will recede.

LAZY ~ADOLESCENTS
by Alice JudSOn Peale)

Mildred and Frances r fine, gay
adolescents. Their is an enormous
appetite for every kind of experience.
Riding, swimming, walking over the
hills, helping with the hay-making or
baking a cake for supper, they keep
themselves busy from morning til
night. In the evening they still have
energy to do stunts on the trapeze
and to Skinny up the rope in the
yard. Before they go to bed they
find time to do a tidy bit OF weaving
on their hand looms.
Then day, for no discernible
reason, they spend an entire day do
ing nothing at all. They loaf and
sprawl about in easy chairs. talking
nonsense and laughing a good deal for
no particular reason.
At such times their mother merely
suggests that il they r going to be
lazy they might as well be lazy in the
sunshine and she urges them to take
their chairs or blankets out on the
grass.
She is a wise mother. She knows
the ways of adolescents. Not for
anything would she prod those chill
dren into activity On one of their oc-
casional lazy days. She knows that
adolescents. boys and girls alike, go
by fits and starts. She knows that
to nag them into an iron bound rou-
tine would serve no desirable end.
It would but antagonize them and
ruin the happy relationship which at
present she enjoys with them.
Adolescents need a good deal of lee
way. They need time for their moods.
for these are the years of moodiness,
So many new forces are crowding for
expression, SO many new adjustments
are being made, that stability is the
last thing to expect of the adolescent
boy OF girl.
So let them be lazy now and then.
Let them find themselves now at their
own pace and in q few years they will
surprise you with their steadiness and
industry.

AMERICA ON TIRES
est. Paul DisDAtch)

Nov that America possesses almost one automobile
for every five persons in the country the whole population
could go out for a ride at the same time if it wanted to
and II the highways were wide enough. This may not
be important in itself, but the widespread ownership OF
automobiles today, when 20 years ago there was only one
car for every 265 persons in the country. means some
thing about the we'll being of the American population.
In this same 2o-year period the annual production of
automobiles Increased ninefold. tut that OF ~low-priced
automobiles multiplied 200 times. How this works has
just been revealed by the national bureau OF economic re-
search, established as q result Of President Hardings un-
employment conference Of 1921, which made a study Of
sales in an eastern city OF a popular automobile with q
price range from 1000 to $1,000.
Il was found that Of the total number ~ cars sold the
greatest share, or nearly ~ per cent, were bought by la
bofers and artisans. Next came statesmen and clerks tax
ing 20 per cent. Manufacturers. merchants, bankers, in
~cldentaaly, took IS per cent. The rest went to policemen,
farmers. housewives. foremen and SO on. AS evidence Of
their higher pay and improving circumstance, about two
thirds Of the workingmen buying cars either made no

bought

urNrLEASANT BREATH

An offensive breath. sometimes
called halitosis or fctor oris, Is an n
fortunate affliction common to most
sick people.
The one with the most offensive
breath often docs not know anything
about It, although 1t is unpleasantly
noticeable to friends and acqlaint-
anccs. 1t presents n OF the most
serious social and business handi-
caps. I have wen known doctors.

SO unpleasant as to drive patients

real causes for divorce. A husband
may possess very fine qualities, and
still his physical presence may be-
come actually repulsive to the wife
because of a tobacco or onion breath.
While the tobacco or onion causes
could be easily removed, there are
many others which might be called
disease causes which are o diff
cult to eliminate. Here are a few
causes which are quite common:
Catarrhal trouble of the mouth,
throat, bronchi, stomach o sinuses.
These troubles can be discovered by
the physician if the individual does
not know which one is causing his
own trouble. A proper diagnosis will

of treatment.
Pyorrhea and trench mouth ear be
cured through removing the primary
cause of over-acidity of the stomach
and the contributing causes Of bac-
terial infection. Scaling of the teeth
or treatment of the gums should be
given by a dentist, and periodical calls
made upon the dentist to prevent
further trouble.

crypts of the tonsils will make a very

diseased or infected tonsils. The ton

they should be removed.
Decayed teeth should be given the
proper care, and would never develop

Some of the most common of the
disagreeahle odors in the breath come
from the fact that the lungs are
forced to eliminate quantities of pois-

IRONSIDES" ESCAPES

"OLD IRONSIDES" ESCAPES
It was on July Is, 1872, that the
United States 44-gun frigate, The
Constitution. lovingly called "Old
Ironsides" and preserved today as the
most priced relic of the U. S. navy,
escaped from the British fleet after
a three days chase off the New Jer-
sey coast.
From this escape, which seemed an
impossibility at the time, "Old IRON
sides" went on to naval history.
It was shortly after evading the
British squadron that the Constitu-
ton Guerrero engagement took
place off Cape Race. And in succeed
ing naval battles she defeated the
Java, Picton, Cyane, Levant and
other British vessels.
It was mainly through the nation
wide interest attached to her victor
les that talk Of secession at the time
died down.
After lying. rotting away, at the
Boston navy yard for many years, q
fund of $500, 900 was raised in q cam
paign to save "Old Ironsides." And
the vessel, nearly a century and a half
old, went back to the dry docks for
repairs.
