IT'S EASIER TO PATCH

Things have TO be spectacular TO arouse our sympathNs.
We can't see hardship or distress unless they send up
rockets for US.
A few days ago a homeless middle-ased New Yorker
tried to kill himself by inhaling gas. He did not quite
succeed; somebody found him and hurried him OIL 20
4 hospital. and for hour after hour oxygen was pumped
into his lungs to keep him alive. His case aroused great
interest; strangers sent money and offered 70 help MIN
in any way they could. For a short time 1t looked as
II all Of New York were chiefly interested in keeping
one unknown derelict from dying.
Now that sort OF thing is all very encouraging. to be
sure. But 1t Is very fortunate that We don't get busy
until it is almost too late. A man can walk the streets.
hungry and penniless, for days without getting . helping
hand. 1t is only WHEN he tries to end his lie and does
something that plops him on to the front pages that We
wake up and try to do something for him.
yet the ounce OF prevention is still worth more than
the pound Of cure, just as it always has been. The only
trouble is that the pound Of cure is easier TO apply.
Several years ago a young reporter In q mid-wcstern
city stumbled onto a family that was on the verge OF
actual starvation. A mother and three small, ragged
children were huddled around a stove IN a barren house.
Their last stick OF wood was in the fire: there was not q
bite to eat in the place. The husband and father, 1t
developed. was a World war veteran. He had not been
able to get steady work since being demobilized. had
gone nearly frantic over his inability to provide for his
family, and had finally snatchcd 4 purse on the street.
Arrested, he was then in jail awaiting trial.
The reporter got a photographer, and the famiy's
plight was broadcast to all the city. Things happened
at once. A lawyer donated his services to help the
veteran out Of his difficulties with the Law. Other people
contributed money, food and fuel TO the family. Halt
. dozen business firms offered the veteran q job.
Everything was smoothed over. and the family was
snatchcd from the brink OF tragedy.
Now that was very encouraging and all that--just as
New Yorks eagerness to bring back life to a wculd-oc
suicide has been encouraging. But why don't we dig
below the surface Of things and remove the cause Of such
tragedies?
Why don't We realize. for instance. that such tragedies
as that Of the war veteran are the inevitable aftermath
o! all wars? Why don't we realize that our present social
and economic system will always toss stragglers by the
wayside?
Why? Well, thinking is too much trouble. We might
step on the toes OF a few OF our pet ~prejudces. The
pound Of cure is the easier thing to apply.

BEAUTY LOSES!
And here's another lovely lady
whose beauty did not seem to give
her happiness. despite our deep
seated belief that if a girl has beauty
she needs nothing else. This particu-

SETTLEMENT OF DETROIT

SETTLEMENT OF DETROIT
Sieur De la Mothe Cadillac, first
commandment Of the French territory
around Lake Michigan, made the first
permanent settlement of the site of
Detroit on July "a. l70l.
Detroit, however. had been visited
by Frenchmen as far back as l648, but
history dates its founding on the day
Cadillac arrived and built Fort Pont-
chartrain and established a small
trading station.
In 1760. an English force under
Major Rogers drove the Frenchmen
out. In l778. a new fort was built. At
this time, Detroit numbered 300 living
in rude log cabins.
At the end of the Revolutionary
War. Detroit passed into the hands Of
the Americans.
However, the English flag again
ruled over Detroit for a few months
during the var of 1912 when General
Hull surrendered the post to a Brit
ish force under General Brock. It
was returned to the Americans in
1913.
Detroit vas incorporated as a town
in 1902.
In recent years. Detroit has passed
the million mark in population.

Talks To&&i
&I.parents
HOBBIES FOR GROWNCPS
tBy Alice Judson Pcalc)


Children must often find their
grown-ups fearfuily dull.
Father does nothing but work and
talk business and read the stock mar
ket columns in the newspaper. Mother
is absorbed in housekeeping and
h~omemaking. Neither father nor
mother ever seems to do anything
just for fun. Even their parties and
club meetings go by the name OF
social obligations
When children of such parents are
planning good times they would never
think OF asking their parents to join
them. True, these same parents may.
with the best of motives, take their
children On conscientious pleasure
trips They may even attempt to
achieve a sense of comradeship by
reading aloud to the children every
evening just before bedtime. But as
long as they do these things from a
sense of duty. the children reflect
their lack Of joyous spontaneity.
Nothing is SO infectious as delight.
And nothing is more delightful to a
child than the society Of an adult
who himself has strong enthusiasts
and vivid satisfactions.
A father who plays tennis with
skill and zest. a mother who is keen
about her garden. an uncle who actu-
ally gets up early to watch the birds,
these have something real to offer
children. An adult with a hobby is
nove colorless or undressing. es-
pecially when he is willing to share
the experience which to him is so
satisfying.
Cultivate your hobbies. Cultivate
them primarily for their own sake,
but also for the sake of the Joy
which YOU thus will communicate to
your children. Share your enthu-
siasms with your children and they
will share theirs with you.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
NnurifiS

Question-Mrs. H. X. I. writes: II
have been bothered with neuritis for
two years. Have been to several
doctors, but have not had much re-
lief. Am very nervous and anemic.
What can / do to gain my health"
Answer-There are two principal
causes of neuritis; one is a toxic CON
dition Of the blood. similar to rheu-
matism, and the other cause is from
pinched nerves somewhere between
the painful part and the spinal cord.
An o%steopath or chiropractor can US
ually remove this latter cause, and
the toxic condition is cured by diet
ing, exercising. and living according
to good hygienic rules.
Milk
Question-Ann D. writes: II
read in your column that milk should
no be taken with sandwiches. When
should milk be used?"
Answer-Never use milk with
sandwiches. or with regular meals.
Milk should be taken by itself, or
combined with one lind of fruit, or
with only non-starchy vegetables.
Irritation from False Teeth
Qucstion-Mrs. J. l.. writes: II
have an upper set of false teeth.
The plate cracked a few months ago,
and caused a slight cut in my tongue.
1t smarts quite a bit, especially at
night. Do you think there is any
danger of cancer?"
Answer-Any irritated spot n the
body may be the seat of the growth
of a cancer and therefore all irrita-
ton should be avoided. If your
saliva is normally alkaline, it fur
nishes an excellent antiseptic for
your mouth, but at this time it might
be well for you to treat the spot on
your tongue with silver nitrate, mer-
c%urochrome, or some astringent.

PROFESSORS

College professors themselves are chiefly responsible
for their low salaries, according to q committee Of Yale
professors which has just completed a survey of the
subject.
The PROFESSIONAL habit OF increasing the number Of
professors in any given college or university as fas. as
new funds become available. says the ommittee, makes
low salaries inevitable. Its report warns that such SAL
aries will never 60 up until the number Of professors
stops going up.
The professors might veil take a tip from organized
labor. Union men long ago found that a surplus Of men
means a reduction In pay. The same thing. apparently.
holds good IN the clustered halls of higher learning.
