 Pennsylvania noted an improve ment in the chestnut crop this fall and found that young sprouts, many of them the stunps of trees killed by blight, are bearing. The sprouts appear to be immune to the disease.

SAFEST

Accurate statistics show that a person is safer on board
q train than at home. which speaks more Of the security
Of railroad transportation than Of the insecurity Of a
mans castle"
Railroad travel is 100 per cent safer today than it was
five years ago. Last year there was only one fatality as q
result OF a railroad accident for every ~ 600 900 passen-
gers carried. Five years ago the average was one fatality
for each 24,000000 passengers. When it is considered
that only is OF the 800 100000 persons transported on
trains in the United States last year were killed. the
safe of this mode OF travel causes greater wonder.
When the railroads were in their early stages tho eau
tious kept to the canal and carriage. And when the au-
tomobile made its appearance the cautious kept to the
railroad and horse. This does not hold true today. for
though the hazards Of motoring are many times greater
than the dangers Of travel BY rail. the railroads are still
losing business to the motor car and bus.
Rail travc' is being made safe by the annual expendi:
turc Il $40. 900 900 by the railroads OF the United States.
They are constantly adding safety equipment. devising
new safety apparatus and setting aside larger sums for
taking the risk out OF this mode Of travel. The time may
be near at hand when they will reap their reward in the
form OF a swing back Is rail travel. The safety factor. II
sufficiently broadcast. would influence many tourists to
lock the car in the garage and 60 BY rail.

THE GOLD STANDARD AGAIN

(Spokane Spokesman Review
Should we" says the president of q California mining
company, discover q means Of changing quicksilver to
gold, we should not make use Of it."
This, 1t will be generally admitted. is very kind OF him.
He has a new electrical device that will do spectacular
tricks with unbelievable numbers Of volts 1t q time, and
naturally wants to allay any general alarm that may
be felt.
It would be most unpleasant for people to start chang
ing mercury to gold. For one thing. it would put an end
to the pleasant pastime Of buying stock In gold mines.
That Is q national sport Of many years standing. and
should not be disturbed. To be sure, gentlemanly agents
would ct once pass among us selling stock in mercury
mines. but the old zest would be lacking. Seldom have
the gold mines in which we bought stock produced any
gold, but that is not the point.
Gold stil has the glamour Of tradition. although it has
lost caste socially. Only the proletariat and the lower
levels Of the ~bourgeoise still wear ornaments of gold.

are able to find . metal more expensive. AS far as some
people are concerned, the alchemists could transmute
gold into scrap iron and no harm done.
But gold Is enriched by old associations. It must not
become too common. The California magnates reassur-
ing statement to the press is q thoughtful gesture. OF
course, it Is possible that he had been reading the story of
what happened to King Midas.

Il do q great deal of travelling in
mountainous districts, during which
time I am sometimes compelled to re-
main for several months away from

concentrated food. I know you do not
advocate navy beans. but they seem
to me to provide = great deal of nour-
ishment In q compact space. How
may they be used 50 that they do the
least injury, and what other food
would you suggest? I have been taking
canned milk, rice. potatoes. flour. ba-
con. coffee, sugar. and various dried
soups upon these journeys. I am able
to obtain q limited amount Of fresh
meat. but no fresh vegetables"
! have been unable to recommend
dried beans because they contain such
Z mixture Of protein and starch that
they readily ferment and are always
gas producers. I do not recommend
them In the diet Of anyone living close
enough to civilization to be able to
secure other foods. OF course, they will
sustain life for q long time, and there
are no doubt emergencies, such as q
forced stay in the mountains, when
no other food can be obtained, in
which dried beans may be kept for
q long period Of time and used as
needed. In this event, they should be
combined. II possible. with less con-
centrated foods, such as the non-

Editorial Comment
LAWS OF THE AIR
(St. Louis Post Dispatch)

In April Current History, John A. Eubank discusses the
relation of aviation to the old legal maxim that he who
owns the soil also owns downward to the center Of the
earth and upward to the zenith. This old maxim is by
way Of being strapped. In two recent court decisions. one
in Pennsylvania and the other in Minnesota, 1t was held
that an airplane does not commit q trespasS in flying
over the lands Of another. When ~airplanes are more
numerous. the question Of their rights in the air will
undoubted'v become acute. Farmers in the neighborhood
of st. Louis have several times registered their private
protest by ~peppering planes with birdshot. It Is COM
planned that the noise of the motors disturbs farm ami
mails. In the air age. however. it is inevitable that the
principle Of ownership of air to the zenith, II 1t survives
at al. must become nothing but a pretty fiction. Avia-
ton, like radio. breaks new legal ground.

~"
We r SO eager to have our chill
drcn behave well. appear clever, and
reflect credit upon their home that
we tend to teach them those habits
which will do just this without first
giving thoughtful consideration to
their value in terms of growth and
development.
Thus, table manners, polite forms,
the memorizing OF rhymes, the art of
counting, prompt obedience and an
attractive exterior receive q large
proportion OF Jul attention.
But are they really worth the time
and energy we spend on them? It
would seem that they are not. Re-
cent studies Of children show more
and more the Importance Of dynamic,
alert attitudes rather than Of fixed
patterns Of response.
1t Is. for instance, Of greater value
to the child to learn to express his
thoughts In words with freedom and
poise than to be able to repeat YER
batim a dozen nursery rhymes.
It is more important that he should
meet people with friendly feelings
than that he should be expert In the
use of please" and thank you"
It is better for him to find out
through his own initiative and ex-
perimentation how to ride his kiddie
car, or make his coaster wagon 60,
than to be taught these things BY q
supervising grown-up.
It is easy to teach patterns of re-
Spouse but 1t is difficult to be patient
IN allowing children to find their own
words, their own use Of materials and
their own slowly evolving adaptations
to social requirements.
We must be content to let the tod
dler seem less precocious than the
neighbors' child, while with new un-
derstanding we permit him to follow
the laws Of his natural growth.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Removal OF the THYROID Gland

Question.-K. N. g. asks: "When all
OF the thyroid gland is removed does
the patient become prematurely Sc
nile? I am deeply concerned about my
daughter. who was operated on for
goitre. Her health has been failing
since then. She has suffered q COM
plete nervous breakdown, followed by
fits OF insanity and dependency. She
has become gray, shunS amuSements,
Is often fretful, and has developed
the slow movements of a very old
person. I do 30 want your advice"
Answer.-If all of the thyroid gland
is removed the patient generally dies
within a short time, but Il only a
portion of it is removed 1t is possible
that enough remains to supply the
need. However, q lack Of thyroid Sc
erection does produce premature age
ing and may cause some mental dis
turbance. Your daughter may have
some other condition as we'll as the
thyroid trouble, but of course it is
impossible for me to diagnose her
case without first having the oppor-
tunity Of examining her.
Queensland Nut
Question.-Mrs. K. l.. writes: Il
have just returned from Australia,
where I enjoyed eating the Queens
land nut. Do you believe that this
could be grown in California, and
what Is its food value?"
Answer.-This nut Is already being
successfully cultivated to a limited ex-
tent in California. The nut is very
similar in food value to the Brazil nut.
Strengthening the Fingers
QueStion.-Y. w. asks: will you
kindly tell me what I can do to
strengthen my fingers? I play the
piano, and my teacher says that my
fingers are weak. especially on the
left hand"
Answer. - A good exercise to
strengthen the fingers is to spread out
a full-size sheet Of newspaper and
grasp one corner with the fingers at
arms length. and then with the fin
gers pull the newspaper to the hand,
trying to crush 1t into q ball.
