There is nothing weak or flabby about the calves re-
vealed by the short skirt. neither has the girl OF this
generation the dropping shoulders and s~piritless express
sion which characterized some past generations OF Wom-
anhood. The modern girl is ~bubbling over with vigor and
enthusiasm: she is supple, active and exhibits marvellous
vitality and physical endurance. Gone is the anemic
wall flower Of q generation ago.
Recognizing this, how can anybody condemn the
modern girl for her striving after the "boyish figure?'
Though she may be dieting for the elusive svelte form
she IS manifestly not undermining either her physical or
mental strength and surely she is not less alluring weigh
ing 10 or 20 pounds less.
But when the truth is learned 1t will be found that
malnutrition is not the real secret of the reduced fem
mime lines. There is q we'll founded~s suspicion that that
secret is e~xercise-tennis, swimming. golf, dancing. hiking
skating and other sports. Might not there be some value
to womanhood In general in the dietary self-denial? It
demonstrates great will power when a woman over a
period extending into weeks and months voluntarily de-
prives herself Of her favorite sweetn1eats and ~delectable
edibles. Many Of the stronger sex have faild in the at
tempt even with the moral support Of doctors orders.
The famous surgeon, Dr.. w.. ]. Mayo. finds the modern
girl an admirable product and. being pleased with the
result Of this evolution in femininity, repeats that the
end ~justifies the means, irrespective Of what the means
may be.

- Parents
MOTHER GOOSE
by Alice Judson Peale)

Mother Goose always has been ac-
cepted as the classic for babies. Every
one agrees that no better, merrier
jingles are to be found in literature.
Nothing compares with them for
swinging rhythm, pat and funny
rhymes, and broad generic humor.
It always has been assumed that
familiarity with Mother Goose's chill
dren should be part of each child's
first experience with language.
No one ought to grow up unac-
quainted with Jack and Jill, Little
Tommy Tucker, George Porgy and
the rest. But they ought not ia
form a large proportion of the child's
literary diet until he is about four
years old.
One reason why Mother Goose is
not best for babies is that it is al
most entirely concerned with things
which have no contact with their own
experience. Children who are lust
emerging from infancy have no easy
task in orienting themselves in their
own comparatively simple world.
The very distortion and Stiffness
which gives Mother Goose its charm
must be confusing to them. It is q
particular kind of nonsense which
they have not yet the BACKGROUND to
appreciate.
Home made stories, rhymes and
chants. while not half SO good from
q literary point of view, are much
better for the very young child. He
likes stories dealing with incidents in
his own daily life, in which he can
readily see himself taking the leading
role.
Thus the simplest account of a lit
tie boy who got up and dressed and
went down to breakfast will DELIGHT
MIN. Stories about such common
Things as farm animals, trains. auto
mobiles. grocery stores, all are pon-
ular. The children will enioy them
especially If we take pains to use inn
itative sounds and many repetitions
SO that they can join in the chorus
each time it comes.

AMERICA LIKES GREEN STUFF
Duluth Herald

V0012C ~ 07Q7
The man with the hoe may need some sort of relief,
but the eagerness with which the American public is de-
manding the products Of his labor can give him no cause
for complaint.
According to a recent report of the Federal marketing
bureau twice as many fresh and canned vegetables are
being eaten in the country now than there was ten years
ago.
Give us more green stuff" is the cry everywhere, es-
pecially in the cities, and lettuce, spinach. cabbage, celery
and similar products come In by the ton where formerly
an occasional case was seen.
Shipments Of lettuce alone are now seven times larger
than they were in 1920 and rail landings run to fifty
thousand cars yearly.
Last year seventeen truck vegetables filled $4,000 cars.
nor did the shipments include such field crops as white
and sweet potatoes or much of the products used by the
canning factories. These figures pay no attention to the
enormous volume of vegetables hauled by truck into cities
and towns from nearby areas.
This new appetite for green stuff among Americans is
due to the encouragement of health authorities. news
paper articles such as that by DR.. Brady published daily
in The Herald, and also because it is now possible for
everybody to have a wide variety Of fresh vegetables the
year around.

Detailed accounts of the Incarceration and first ex-
periences in jail Of Harry F. Sinclair must have been Of
VIDE interest: His career has been both sensational and
notorious. He is said to be the richest man ever put in
jail. His defensive litigation against a government seek
ing to punish him for his attractions of the law has &C.
cup1ed first pages for six years. But after seeing him into
his new Job as pnarmacial assistant to the doctor and
nurse Of Washingtons jail. and after describing the con-
ditions under which he works and lives. the present duty
OF reporting has certainly been discharged, and Sinclair
snould nave the right of every other prisoner to privacy
during his term in prison. This does not mean that the
newspapers should or will relax their vigilance to see that
the multi millionaire prisoner goes through the same rou-
tine as his fellows. But 1t does mean that the shadow
o. the bars should obscure him for the present. In de-
creeing this the prison superintendent is not only pro-
ceeding properly as an administrator but he is allowing
Sinclair his rights.
So far as the offense for which the oil macnate was
convicted is concerned. the duty Of the law and Of society
Is merely to make sure that he serves out his time with
out favoritisnn. But the jail should not be made daily

A VOYAGE OF

~ Ut
Two hundred and fifty-s six years
ago today two Of the most picturesque
characters in the history Of American
exploration-Louis Joliet, the French
trader, and Father Marquette, the
missionary-started from st. Ignace
mission on Lake Michigan to explore
the western waterways Of America.
This trip. begun May II, 1873. was
accomplished in two canoes with the
aid of five French helpers and re.
suited In the discovery Of the Mis-
sissippi river.
In many ways it was the most re-
markable voyage Of all times. Their
trail boats were inadequate: their
crews were small and the Freuchmen
were dependent upon friendly Indian
tribes they met for food and sup
plies.
The first stage Of the journey car
ried them to Green Bay, and from
there they cruised up the Fox river
and made friends with q new tribe
OF 1ndians-the Mascoutins.
The Mississippi was discovered af.
ter a descent Of the Wisconsin river,
on June II. 1873. The party explored
It's majestic length Is far south as
the Arkansas river and two months
after the start Of the journey began
the return trip.

A BRILLIANT AIR RECORD

National Air Transport, which flies air %maiipancs be-
tween New York, Cleveland. Chicago. Kansas City and
Dallas. has just completed the third year of its opera
ton, and is celebrating by revealing the figures that its
three years work have rolled up. They reflect an enor-
nous amount Of credit on the company and on aviation
as a whole.
In three years, N. A. T. planes have flown 4,674,343
miles, of which lyele.445 were at night. They have car
ried a total of 2,ll3,303 pounds of mail and 1885, $50 pounds
OF express. At present they are averaging $500 miles Of
flight every day.
National Air Transport has a right to be very proud Of
this record. It demonstrates clearly the way in which
aviation has established itself In this country.

CHEMICAL MARVELS
(St. Paul Daily News

VoC. FHuI Odny NeWS1
A mechanical man opens the exposition of chemical
industries now in progress at New York, at which there
are some 500 marvels on display.
Among other things are a toy train which starts. stops
or backs up in obedience to the spoken word: an APP
paratus which will make dry ice in 80 seconds; a gas
mask that might be used to relieve passengers from the
disagreeable effluvia of garlic and cheap perfume on the
subway; a new metal, called columbium; and a pocket
device by which the scofflaw can test his own hooch.
To Judge. by the headlines. New York Is vastly more
interested in the last mentioned marvel than in any of
the other 499. It consists of a flask containing certain
chemical reagents, into which the Doubling Thomas
pours his bootleg spoil. II it turns pink. it contains
wood alcohol, and if yellow. denatured alcohol.
Just one more example Of how human ingenuity can be
depended on to surmount every obstacle.

THE NEW AGE OF FAITH

u is a LONG time since the steamer Vestris went to the
bottom off the Virginia capes, carrying 100 people down
with her; but new facts about the tragedy are still COM
ing out.
At the present inquiry in London it is disclosed that the
steamer was considerably overloaded when it cleared
from New York. and competent witnesses have testified
that this was a contributory cause to her sinking.
The citizen who cmbarks on a steamship has not,
naturally. any way on earth of telling whether the vessel
is loaded properly or equipped properly. Things OF the
sea are a closed book to most landsnen. TO make a sea
voyage is to perform an act OF faith-faith that unknown
men have been conscientious and thorough III the per-
Torrance Of their duties.
Indeed. this is becoming increasingly true OF everything
We do. Never before was the average man so much under
the necessity of taking it for granted that his fellow
men would be upright and capable. The machine age
might we'll be called the age Of faith.
You do not have to make a sea voyage to demonstrate
this. Every day Of your life you stake your life on faith
that the men you meet will do their parts properly.
For instance: you drive along a street in your autonlo-
bile at a speed OF 30 miles an hour. Coming toward you
OH the left, is a stream of autos going the other direc-
ton. The cars whiz past you at a speed equal to your
own, missing you by a scant two or three feet.
You are putting up your life on the faith that none OF
these drivers is drunk. or incompetent or near-sighted
II one of those cars should swerve slightly out of line you
would have q bad smashup that would probably kill you
but you simply take it for granted that all OF these un-
known drivers arc men as good as yourself.
You could find a similar instance in almost every hour
OF your daily routine. The whole complicated fabric OF
modern life is held together by nothing in the world but
faith.
That is why the bungler-the careless. witless incom-
petent-is able to do more harm today than ever before
In history.
In the old days it usually took . certain amount OF
malice to bring about a disaster. Today a moments in
attention on the part of the most wen-meaning OF mer
can have fearful consequences. Incompetence may yet
be rated the most serious crime on our calendar.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Tubercu1OsiS

ASOOAO0AO0S0
Question: Mrs. s. s. writes: "For
the last three years my husband has
been in the hospital suffering from
tuberculosis. My little boy was born
three weeks before my husband went
to the hospital. That was my first
knowledge that he had tuberculosis.
Now, what chance has my boy? Will
he inherit the disease, or can I care
for him SO that he will be saved from
it?"
Answer: The tendency toward tu-
%berculosis may be inherited, but it is
not considered that the disease, itself.
can be transmitted in this manner
except In very rare cases. If your
little boy is fed upon q well bal
anced diet, allowed plenty of sleep.
and perhaps given sunbaths, there is
not much danger Of his contracting
this disease. I believe that it is quite
easy for one to avoid CONTRACTING this
disease BY the proper hygienic meas
ures.
Salisbury Steak
question: Mrs. J. G. writes: II
missed your article stating what Sal
isbury steak was and why it was Sill.
perior to hamburger, etc. How is II
prepared? I am learning much from
your column each day."
Answer: Salisbury steak is made
by grinding only the red, lean part
OF round steak after having removed
all gristle and fat. This may seem
similar to hamburger steak, but it is
really more palatable and more EASY
to digest; it has an entirely different
flavor than when the fat is included.
Allow three-quarters of a pound for
each person served when purchasing
the steak. After grinding the meat.
press flat into an ungreased cake tin
to a depth Of about one inch. and
place in . hot oven for about five
minutes after which time turn down
the fire. A tasty addition Is made by
grinding parsley or spinach with the
meat. Do not season until ready to
serve, then use only a small amount
of salt.

A~NGLO-AMERICAN FRIENDSHIP

Some Americans show q tendency to be touchy and
oversenstive. and to attach too much importance to what
is said about the United States and its people by the writ
ers and speakers Of other lands. The mere fact that the
opinion expressed is a foreign dictum gives it, in their
eyes, an authenticity and Importance to which 1t is
rarely entitled.
Obscure writer's, minor noveists and unknown penny
a-liners from Europe all have their fling at America and
Immediately some Americans become as hot under the
collar as II their opinions really mattered one way or
the other. Those who know and consider the source of
most anti.American criticisms give them the least
thought.
sensttveness to these frothy criticisms often blunts
ones perception in regard to matters Of real significance.
A satrical diatribe cabled over by some Fleet street space
writer 30 enrages some otherwise level-headed and per-
spicacious Americans that they momentarily ignore the
~cordialty Of the official relations between the United
states and Great Britain.
The most striking truth In regard to foreign COM
ment upon America is one which rarely occurs to US.
though It is constantly In the minds Of the real leaders

NO A r OF FLYERS

Secretary of War Good denies that army flyers are
leaving the service in wholesale lots in order to accept
better paid positions with commercial aviation companies.
Undoubtedly. a good number Of men have done SO, and
will continue to do so. But even if designations were
coming in faster than they are, the situation wouldn't
be particularly alarming.
In time Of wal all of these men would come back into
the service instantly. II the country builds up a large
body Of competent flyers, as it is doing at present, the
aviation branch Of its national defense can easily be ex-
banded overnight, whether the bulk OF its flyers in peace
time arc in the army or in civilian life.
