SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DIR. Louis E. Bisch-

TDy AIe LOuIS Le DIS(l-
MORE than most OF us realize,
AVA perhaps, we all want to leave
some imprint of ourselves on the
future.
Men and women are influenced
instinctively to leave behind them
after they die a monument or a
sign. or good deed that Will sur
vive.
Thus does the human being,
materialist though he is, strive to-
ward the infinite.
The most tangible expression of
this reaching and towering toward
the higher and better things is to
found in the child.
Through the child the father and
mother. especially the mother, car
ries on after death. The training,
the culture, the refinement, the
sentiments which the parents have
instlled in the child to greater or
lesser degree so on forever.
There is, therefore, a certain self
perpetuation in having children.
And this self-perpetuation is felt,
at least vaguely, even after the
children grow up and separate
themselves from the parent stem.
Man also will sacrifice and suf-
fer for the perpetuation Of an ideal.
All wars attest to this. In order
that a principle may live, prin-
ciplc of which the individual in
fostering it feels he is a part, men
have laid down their lives gladly.
Nor will Il mother hesitate for
moment to lay down her life to
perpetuate the race.
In shipwrecks, fires, in all great
emergencies, parents will ioYfully
sacrifice themselves so long as
their offspring is saved.
And in this connection It Is in
tereSting to observe that in the
case of a critically i'll eXpectant
mother, say of tuberculosis, the
baby is usually born vigorous and
healthy, although the mother may
have paid with her life. Even ma
ture seems to want TO safeguard
the future through perpetuation.
How many individuals slave and
sometimes starVe in order to in
vent or produce in writing or
music or painting something that
will carry on their name,
Personal satisfaction, praise and
money. are as nothing to suCn
characters as is the pride that
comes of believing that what thny
achieve may outlive their own
earthly existence.
People leave money tn institu-
tions for similar reasons. They
found hospitals that posterity may
remember them.
And there are those who have a
costly and imposing msusoleum
huilt in the vanity that they are
important enough to the world to
be remembered.
Life is short and fleeting.
Man and woman recognize that
it is over long before their deep

and greatest ambitions have been
realized.

Il This would have been a So

Dinosaurs didn't keep up With
the march OF events. So e|olu-
ton wiped them off the map and
gave their place to less inprCs-
sive but more useful heA sites like
Belgian Hares and Guinea Pigs.
That is what happened to the
lazy Dinosaurs. That is what
always happens to lazy creatures
who outlive their usefulness. And
unless all signs fail. that is what
will presently happen to a GER

hampering our social order
namely, the Idle Wives of America.
No Miocene swamp was ever
more cluttered up by useless beef

'USSR CONSULATE
in HARDIN RAIDED
Continued from Page One)

Continued from Page One)
Chang Kai-shek, traitor to the Chi
nese masses and handmaiden to the
imperialists, now charging that the
revolt of Marshall Feng Yu-hsiang
against the Marking regime is be-
/ ing unanswered from Moscow, raided
the consulate in an attempt to give
substance to his declaration and pave
the way for further imperialist in
vasion against the Chinese workers
and peasants.
Chang, in an effort to strengthen
the allied dictatorship of the Kuo-
mintang officials and the i'm
perial.-,s, has expelled all of Feng's
supporters from the Kuomintang
and the government. Many of these,
who were occupying important gov
eminent positions in Marking, have
not only been removed by Chang,
but have been removed in such a way
that they have disappeared.
Many Documents Stolen.
The five truckloads Of papers and
fixtures stolen from the Soviet Con-
sulate during the raid, were carted
to the goernment offices. where they
will be examined while the Soviet
officials are kept in Jail. Just like
the provocative raid in Picking in
1927, this raid, also engineered by
the imperialists, is direct threat of
war against the Soviet Union, and
against the revolutionary masses of
the east.
The British imperialists, alarmed
at the growth of the revolutionary
movement in India and in China, the
Yankee imperialists, seeing their in
terests threatened in China by the
revolt of the Chinese masses, the
French imperialists working hand in
hand with the British, and the
Japanese imperialists with their in
terests menaced in Manchuria, are
all directly aiding the provocation
against the Soviet Union. Chang
Kai-shek, who has made peace with
these imperialist by giving them free
play in China in return for recogni-
ton of the Marking regime, is the
tool being used against the Soviet
Union.
The very fact that Chang Hsueh-
lang, son of Chang Tso-lin and die
tator of Manchuria, conducted the
raid on the Soviet consulate, gives
| lie to the declarations of the imper-
ialists that Chang was in a plot with
the Soviet Union. Chang used this
statement to attempt to seize the
Chinese Eastern Railroad, in which
the Soviet government has prior
ownership.
The raid comes two days before
the fourth anniversary of the
Shanghai massacre which was the
spark that lit up the revolution and
on the same day as the body of Sun
Yat-sen, leader of the revolution in
its initial stages, arrives in Nank-
ing, falsely claimed by the traitors
of the Marking regime as theirs.
