HORRID
by Alice JudsOn Pealc)

When your child goes walking in
the country. does he find it full Of
horrid creatures? Does he Jump in
terror If q little green snake glides
across his path or shudder with dis
gust when q spider runs over his
arm? Does he believe that ii you
touch q toad you are bound to get
warts?
Children acquire such fears through
mistaken ideas and through seeing
adults who are afraid. One of the
best ways of curing them Is to show
that you yourself feel neither fear
nor revulsion. You can teach your
child, instead, that you consider these
creatures extremely interesting and
even rather charming.
Tell him that snakes are not Shiny
and that only very few of them are
venomous. Assure him that, although
toads look warty, they cannot posi-
bly, give warts. Explain that none Of
our common spiders are capable OF
giving a bite worthy Of the name.
C~ultivating a real acquaintance
with these much-maligned animals
will help further to dispel the silly
fear In which they r held. Call
your child into the garden early In
the morning sc that he can examine
the marvel of spider webs, still per-
feet and heavy with dew. Let him
make friends with the old toad who
lives at the foot of the garden. Pick
up q little snake and invite him to
feel its ~curiously dry skin, observe
minutely its beautiful coloring and
the swift grace of its motions.
Go to your librarian and let her
help you to select books which tell the
fascinating truth about these crea-
lures. Your child will become SO In
terested that he will forget he ever
vas afraid.

AGAR-AGAR OR JAPANESE
GELATIN

Seaweeds are among the most
abundant of natures products, yet
they offer very little In the way Of
nutrition. A~gar-agar and other sim
liar seaweed are valuable because Of
the large amount Of bulky material
| which they contain and for this rea-
son they can be used to advantage by
many people r r troubled with
constipation. since the average per-
son uses a diet which is far too cor
centrated.
Agar-agar is composed chiefly of a
carbohydrate called gelose which Is
similar to cellulose. This vegetable is
really q sea grass or algae, and in its
commercial form appears as thin.
transparent strips. It is really insol-
uble In cold water, but is easily dis
solved In hot water and forms q gel
atirous mass. When prepared in this
manner, 1t is colorless and almost
tasteless. except when it is not high
" refined, and has a slight flavor of
sea water.
The edible birds nests of China are
made of q similar Seaweed which is
eaten by swallows and later disgorged
for the construction of their nests.
These birds nests are considered a
delicacy In China where they are
generally utilized in making soups.
About three million pounds of agar
agar are annually exported from
Japan to America and Europe, but
there are now several companies on
the American seacoaSt that are
gagged in converting these seaweeds
into the commercial agar-agar.
Agar-agar can be secured in the
drug store In its crude form. or the
p~urverized kind can be purchased in
packages.
It is also employed in the manufac-
ture OF various food products, such as
jams, jellies and ice cream, and is
also used In textile silk and other
industries and by psychologists for
making an excellent medium in which
to develop bacteria.
Although there is practically no
nourishment in agar-agar, it does
contain small amounts of potassium
and iodine.
Those who are troubled with CON
stipation car do we'll to try agar-agar
treatment, at least for q short time.
One way Of preparing it is to pour

kind. Let 1t stand until 1t has cooled

before going to bed.
Another way is to put some of the

JOHN JAYS IDEA

In the early days Of the United States, John Jay ne
gotiated a treaty with Spain that turned out to be UNI
popular-so unpopular that to prevent pacts that would
serve one part of the country but be injurious to other
parts. the constitution was amended to provide that no
undertaking can be entered into by the United States un-
til 1t shall have been submitted to and approved by the
senate.
This has turned out to be a very handy arrangement.
Not only does it serve the purpose originally aimed at,
but it has enabled America to have things pretty much
her own way in international negotiations of every kind.
The representatives of Washington cannot definitely
and finally agree to anything. while the representatives
of other nations can. So this is what happens. The
Washington conferees press for and get conceded to
them every possible point in order to get the deal through
the senate. The other nations sign up, but the United
States has another whack at the agreement; the senate
makes alterations in 1t or adds reservations and the other
countries can accept these or see the whole thing fall.
From the American point of view the system works
admirably until the senate goes on one of it's sprees OF
willfulness and pettiness. Then John Jay is blamed for
getting the nation in the muddle.

QUESTIONS AND w
M~AlhnaA

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Toothache
Question: L. j. N. asks: What can
be done to stop toothache In the
absence of q dentist?"
Answer: Paint the gums around the
tooth with some oil of cloves or, II
the tooth is hollow, pack In some cot
ton that has been soaked In the oil
Of cloves.
Question: A. A. B. asks: rs COM
mon table salt necessary to the body?
I have been told that one would lose
weight if it were not used"
Answer: Inorganic sodium Chord
Is never necessary for the body. as
this salt is found in an organic form
in vegetables and other foods. There
is no harm in using q small amount
to initiate that which has been de-
stroyed in cooking, but it will have no
p~erceptible effect m way or another
upon your weight.
Tubercular Gland
Question: A. E. G. asks: "What
treatment do you recommend for boz
vine tubercular gland OF the neck?"
Answer: The treatment consists,
first, in creating a healthier condition
Of all the glands of the body through
a proper dietetic treatment; then,
along with this, certain local treat
ments can be used over the affected
gland. These r given with hot
congresses and the application of
certain electrical treatments.
Removing a verruca
Question: F. 8. writes: Il have
what the doctor calls a verruca on my
hand. Would q lack of salt in my
diet cause this, and how can I re-
move it?"
Answer: A verruca is q wart and
there are many different types. It is
possible that a fasting and dieting
regime followed by q local Cautery
treatment on the verruca would over
come 1t. A lack of salt in the dict
would not cause this, but general
acidosis might be responsible.

The director of the New York Welfare council issuing
some sort of statement about the work of his organiza-
ton, speaks Of New York as 1.-The biggest. richest and
most important city In the world"
Very likely it is the biggest, although a Londoner might
be disposed to start an argument about 1t. Surely 1t Is
the richest; never in all history has there been such a
concentration Of wealth in one place. But most I'M
portant? There's something else again.
we have always ~worshiped bigness in this country. It
is instructive for us to feel that the largest thing must be
the best. And it is easy to be dazzled by New York. Stay
there for q while and you get the feeling that nothing
that happens anywhere else really matters. You speak OF
other places as 1.-THE provinces" and feel sorry for the
luckless mortals who cannot experience the subway jams,
cramped living quarters and eternal confusion Of the
metropolis.
Yes, New York is very big and dazzling. But most i'm
portant? It Is foolish to call 1t that. There isn't any
most Important city-or. II there is. its identity is diff
ferent for each man on earth.
Your own most important city may be the town you live
in. It may be the place where you were raised. made
important to you now by the haze Of old memories that
has settled about its unforgotten outlines. Or It may be
some distant town where something important once hap
pened to you; . town In which you got one OF those mo-
mentary. elusive experiences that life sometimes offers.
in which the heavens were parted and you could see, for
q space, your own divinity.
Things like that happen unexpectedly. They are not
explainable. They come without being asked. and they
cannot be made to come back on demand. Yet all of us,
at one time or another, experience them.
A man goes on his daily round. as he has gone on it
for years, unsuspecting. Then, one day, there comes a
moment in which things are TRANSPORTED, and the world
wears a new aspect. His familiar home street, perhaps,
appears to him In q new light. It Is no longer an ordi-
nary roadway thanked by ordinary houses and apart
ments; it is an enchanted lane, about which are grouped
the temporary stopping places OF tired and cropping men
and women who are making the universal pilgrimage
from imperfection to perfection, from ugliness to beauty,
from s~elfishness and cowardice to heroic self-sacrifice.
After that the old routine returns. But 1t is never quite
the same again. The man knows. now. that the world is
not what he had supposed it. but far better.
The place where that sort Of thing comes to you is. to
you, earth's most important spot. Statistics of size and
wealth do not count. Every town can be a window
through which unseen things can be glimpsed. And life
can hold no more important experience.

CLAYPOOL SHOT
UP IN 'HOLDUP'
OF BANK HEADS
Robbery Turns Out Fake
to Show Bandits Proper
Place.

A "holdup" in which a dozen
shots were fired startled more than
100 guests at the Claypool Monday
afternoon when a mock bank rob-
berry was staged in the assembly
room to illustrate an effective
method used to deal with bandits in
Oklahoma.
The "holdup" was staged in the
midst of an address by Eugene p
Gum, secretary of the Oklahoma
Bankers Association, as the feature
of the afternoon program of the
mid-winter meeting of the Indiana
Bankers Association. All but few
of the bankers present at the meet
ing were startled when the bandits
appeared. AS the method of signal
ing showing how bandits are trap
ped it became apparent that the
',holdup" was for illustrative pur-
pose only.
The speaker declared that in view
of the pulls loopholes in the law
and other resources of imprisoned
bank bandits for getting out of
prison the only really effective cell
for bank bandits was six feet long,
about the same depth, and about
three feet wide and the only key
to which would be a court order
for elimination of the body.
Another instructive address of the
afternoon was that made by w. E.

diana Bankers Association.

WEAKER SEX
THEORY BLASTED
BY EDUCATOR
Men and Women College
Students Found About
Equal Mentally.
BY ARTHUR r. DE GREVE
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Anoth-
er theory of the weaker SEX has
been blasted by DR.. F. A. Moss, pro-
lessor of psychology at George
Washington university
After a series of tests extending
over several years, DR.. Moss an
nounced today he found men and
women college students about equal
mentally with possible shade OF
difference-if any exists-in favor
of the women.
In the army Alpha test the re-
suits showed a slight difference in
favor of the women. In social in
telligence, women students demon
strated a noticeable superiority.
They also excelled IN judgment on
matters of social tact and in ac-
curacy of observation of human be-
havior.
Comparative intelligence tests
showed slightly better results for
the men. Moss found men stu
dents excelled in breadth and va
riety of interests while the two
sexes were equal in the ability to
remember names and faces.
The psychologist reached the
conclusion that women are more
willing to submit to authority,
have developed degree of patience
far in excess of men and have an
equal desire for social approval.
Women are more interested in
persons while men are more inter
ested in material things, Moss said.

COOLIDGE SAYS
U. S. MUST CUT
DOWN EXPENSE
Margin Between Prosperity
and Depression Always
Small, He Says.
BY ROBERT MOoREFIELD
United Press stan Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Ad-
dressing the last scheduled business
meeting of his administration, Presi-
dent Coolidge Monday night ex-
pressed satisfaction with his
economic program, pointing out at
the same time that national pros
perity could continue only through
constructive economy in govern
ment.
The President warned against
unnecessary drains on the federal
treasury. He called attention to the
/ Teasing costs of state and local
governments.
The margin between prosperity
AMI depression is always very small"
Coolidge said at one point. "A de-
crease of less than 10 per cent in the
income of the nation would produce
a deficit in our present budget. The
cost of state and local government
rapidly are mounting.
He predicated his statement by
pointing out costs of state and local
governments had increased from
$4,000, OO0D00 in 1921 to 1881, 000,-
900 in 1927, and continued:
This is such a heavy drain on
the earnings of the people that it
is the greatest menace to the con-
tinuance Of prosperity.
1T is a warning that should be
needed by every one intrusted with
the expenditure or appropriation of
public funds"
Coolidge pointed out that since
the Inauguration of the budget Sys-
tenn. the public debt had been re-
o6ced s6,667, 900, 900. and that the
