These are all vices, but thew are

SO, | doubt if would confess it.
ON My Way" will never rank
with the great biographies, because
Art Young, in spite of a charming
and naive frankness, has left too
much out Of the picture. In a sense
1T is hardly an autobiography at all.
OF physical happenings the book
contains very little. For the most
part it concerns the mental reac-
tons of Young toward men and
events. For instance, I could wish
that there were much more about
the artist and his sons. n
One small flash suggests delight
ful relationship about which would
like further enlightenment. IL

ShySter Lawyers

1T looks as though the public were
L. in for fimf1aming, no matter
what it does. 1t can't build roads
up to a river bank, without having
some private concern stick in a toll
bridge, and it can't tunnel a noun
tain, without seeing one get away
with the profit. 1t can't even hear
Hughes lambast shyster lawyers,
without having the wires cut to spoil
the broadcast.
Between the upper world, which
is looking for graft by way of slick
financial deals, and the underworld,
which is looking for graft by way of
crooked politics, the public faces a
slim chance.
Persons hostile to the campaign
now in progress to purge the bar
are suspected of having maliciously
cut the wires," says the United
Press, which is a mild way to put it.
Those who are safe through the
hired services of shyster lawyers,
and who know their game would be
spoiled if anything happened to
those shyster lawyers, who want to
keep the public in ignorance, and
who were afraid to let Hughes go on
the air, did the trick.
The underworld is well organized,
and the underworld has no better
friends than shyster lawyers.

Fatigue Nervous A liter" MnInutriti0n

In their consideration of the
subject, the Sehams believe that
the diet of the average American
child is too rich in sugars and
sweet beverages and too meager
in protective foods, such as milk,
leafy vegetables and fresh fruits.
Furthermore, palatability, color,
texture and temperature of the
foods are associated with good di-
gestion, as are also emotions, such
as grief, anger, worry, irritation
and physical strain.
Finally, sleep, rest and relaxa-
ton are of definite Importance in
relation to good digestion, and it
is found that malnourished chill
dren usually do not know how to
relax.
Forced feeding and a sufficient
amount of rest reduces fatigue
and improves the nervous system,
increases the functional capacity
of the child and haStens the gain
in weight.

and the development of the nerv-
Gus reaction.
A recent series of studies by DIR.
and Mrs Max Seham in the Uni
yersity of Minnesota indicate that
malnourishment is followed prompt
ly by serious symptoms.
The health habits and efficiency
of 100 normal children were studied
in contrast TO 100 malnourished
children who were underfed fatigue
and nervousness were much more
frequent than in children whose
weight-height index was within 10
per cent of the normal.
The health habits of abnormal
children were poorer than those
of the normal, and their efficiency
was about one-third of that of
normal children. Their efficiency
was noted both by the mother and
by the teacher to be inferior to
that of children properly ncur-
ished.

Falling Five Miles

NTHAT relief to turn from
w highlander and highjacker
to the field where men are doing
things, the field Of science and in
dustry, with it's thousands of newly
opened doors, where there is no
need of anything but courage and
skill to win success and where the
game must be played alone.
If we have jelly beans and cut
Threats, we also have a lot of clear
eyed boys who dare to face the
music on their own account, and
who are not only making history,
but giving the next generation high
marks to shoot at.
Think of a chap falling five miles
through the air and living to tell
the tale. More than that, think
of him taking it as just one more
phase of the days work.
We have at least come upon an
age where real adventure can be
had, without quarreling over a mo-
nopoly on the local beer trade, rig
ging up a peanut graft for gang
politicians. or trying to elope with
another mans wife.

U EFT those FESTIVE young bucks
L. who would grapple with death,
who would impress their sweeties by
taking a dare, or make the neighbour
hood gasp by doing something novel,
try the stunt that Lieutenant Julian
B. Haddon did at Dayton; go up
seven miles, fall five, get out of an
airplane during the next one and
take the last 5000 feet by parachute.
There is lot to life these days
beside trying to take it away from
the other fellow, a lot that REQUIRES
no crooked thinking. more, in fact,
than there ever was before.

Beyond Prediction

THAT, Of course, is beyond pre-
Il diction. I have been told that
Mr.. Young'S son regards his social
istic parent as too conservative, and
practically an early Victorian.
I'm afraid that mine is going to
grow up Republican on me. But
even if he does develop into a stand
patter, I would not have him call
me father"
AS yet he doesn't. To me it seems
rather important thing that chill
dren should call their parents by
their first names. This helps to dis
sipate the atmosphere of authority
which often makes it so difficult
for boys and fathers to hit off a
friendship. I don't want my son to
respect me. I want him to like me.

Moffat Tunnel

The Moffat tunnel had just been
"holed in" when reached Denver
two years ago and you could not
hear yourself think for the bombs. 1t
sounded like German air raid over
London.
Moffat tunnel was going to bring
Denver 173 miles nearer the Pacific
coast and put it on direct trans
continental line. Moffat tunnel was
going to open up the coal fields just
beyond the mountains and make
Denver great industrial center
overnight. Moffat tunnel, in short,
was the great good thing for which
Denver had been waiting and hop
ing ever since it came into being.
Well, here we are, with Moffat
tunnel in the headlines once more,
though not quite according to pro-
phecy.
Tt is the same old story of Mr..
John Public trying to do something
worth while and being left with the
bag to hold.
Moffat tunnel, costing the taxpay-
ers of this district nearly $18,0OO,0O0,
and built on the assumption that it
would pay itself out through a fair
split of the earnings on increased
traffic, has been leased to a rail-
roal by the commission in charge for
ninety-nine years at flat rate,
without any provision for raising
the rent as trade grows, and that
rate provides only about one-half
the interest, which leaves the people
to put up 100000 or 100000 annu-
ally, as well as pay off the prin-
cipal.
Can you beat it?

SEEMS
TOME
By HAYWOOD
BROUN

DALM BEACH, Jan. 28-In his
i rambling autobiography, "On My
Way" Art Young writes, IF a per-
SON of obvious and exceptional tall
ent, with an individual style and
a slight faint of business ability like
myself, has had such difficulty in
getting on for the greater part OF
his life, what must be the struggle
OF those who have no special gift
nor business sense?"
Such thoughts are likely to get
Art into more trouble than his wild
est expressions of radicalism. The
community holds that no man NAV
speak well of himself.
1t seems to me that Art Young
does possess an obvious and eXcep-
tlonal talent. We share this opinion
but his own Judgment in the mat
ter is far more valuable than min
since 1 am not trained to evaluafe
the worth of men who draw. ~
In fact, it is obligatory to be
frank and truthful in an autobiog-
raphy. This form should be one of
the most interesting in all litera--
ture, but few have turned the trick.
Many have endeavored to be wholly
honest in Self-appraisal and vet
have not been able to blurt out
everything.

Surprise

CTILL / will confess a certain
~ shade Of surprise and, perhaps,
even shock to learn that the young
Young nicknames his parent with a
casual cart" In theory I am for it.
But if Woodie were to hale me some
day with Hello, Oofs," or even
"How are you, Rube," I think it
might give me part Of a turn, even
though these are both well authen-
tiCGted nicknames. "Oofs" was the
product Of the war, for the other
newspaper men with the American
army contended, untrutilfully, I
think, that I pronounced the French
equivalent for eggs in this manner.
In college it was "FAlbe," for those
were the days before I went in for
high hats and snappy dressing. I
could wish for more nicknames and
a wider employment of them in my
own case.
At this point I am acutely aware
OF the fact that very little has been
said about Art Young's "Or My
Way" Instead it has been brief
fragment of another autobiography.
Let me stress now the fact that
Young has written, in delightfully."-
readable fashion, Of the men am
women with whom he was assoc
ated in magazines and politics anc
Greenwich Village life. Specially
there is a remarkably vivid and
glowing description of Eugene Debs.

Legislatures in America?
During the colonial period, the
legislative bodies in several prov
.nces gradually assumed the power
of granting divorce, and after the
Revolution the system of divorce by
legislative enactment became uni
formly established. Experience
proved that the system was defective
and jurisdiction over divorce cases
was generally transferred to the
courts of equity. In many state
constitutions it was expressly pro-
vided that divorce by legislative act
should not be permitted.

NEW STRAWBERRY PEST

Strawberry growers of lower DELI
aware are agitated over the sudden
of another pest which, il
not checked, will not only prove dis
astrous to this years crop but will
destroy their fields.
The newly discovered pest Is q
red spider which is so small that 10
can hardly be seen with the naked
eye, and which turks beneath the
leaves and saps the vitality OF the
foliage and plant.
The leaves first turn red and finaI-
ly the stems become infected and the
plants die. They have the appear
ance of tiny blood red spot. The
eggs of the spider, according to In
formation gathered by County Agent
C. R. Snyder and the extension de-
partment, are laid early in the spring
and termination follows with great
rapidity.
The red spider is new pest to the
berry growers of lower DelawareS
and this year is the first time they
have been discovered playing havoc
with any of the fields.

Blue Sunoco has become such an
important item to motorists that the
sales in these short two years have
been almost phenomenal. Racing
drivers use it because of its power;
car dealers demonstrate their new
cars with it because Of its Quietness
of operation; and in the petroleum.
industry, where developments OF this
sort are discussed quite freely. Blue
Sunoco is held in the very highesc
esteem.
Nothing short of actual proof OF
its ability to perform satisfactorily
in all kinds of motors would have
made it the big seller 1t is. Blue
Sunoco, while premium feul, is q
pure petroleum product, non-poison.
Gus and harmless, and it is our hope
that we may always continue to sell
it at regular gasoline price.
