HIGHWAYS

Ground has been broken for New York's first elevated
express motor highway, which will be built along the
Hudson river waterfront from Canal to Seventy second
street.
Mayor Walker but echoed public opinion when he
characterized this improvement as one of the most i'm
portant in the history Of the great metropolis and as the
most promising step the city has taken toward coping
with its battling traffic problems.
For many years the elevated motor highway has ap-
peared to be a logical development not only in New York
City but in many other American cities. Pittsburgh for
many years has possessed two automobile boulevards,
carved out of her hillsides, one overlooking the Ale
gheny and the other the Monongahela river.
In view Of the fact that the new Hudson highway, as
the new elevated highway will be known. will have no
grade crossings nor local traffic its 30-foot roadways will
have an estimated capacity Of 5000 cars an hour at q
speed of IS miles. That capacity will increase as the
speed is increased.
This and similar increasing lanes is a tacit confession
that traffic problems are not to be solved by red lights.
no-parking signs and police whistles. but only through
sweeping physical improvements such as elevated high
ways, parallel highways, separation Of fast and slow traf-
fc and separation Of grades Of interesting highways.

little room on the highways these days for motor vehicles.
there Is room for mutual courtesy and that considera-
ton for others which is so rare.
Not only docs courtesy and consideration for others
make driving more pleasant for all but it diminishes the
hazards o. the road. In the judgment Of many. there is
nothing which contributes more noticeably to traffic
tanglcs and accidents than the habit Of some drivers to
ignore the rights OF others.
Why cannot motorists give the other fellow another
foot when they see him in a tight place or know he
must otherwise bring his car to q stop? Why do truck
and bus drivers hug the middle OF the road? Why does
the motorist who drives by clcsiac tempo always pick
the busiest highway for his slow motion meandcrings?
And why do some demand the right OF way under oil con-
ditions?
It is said that the American people are losing faith in
humanity. One senses the reason.

An easy method Of distinguishing
the alkaline forming foods Is to con-
slider that all vegetables and fruits
are alkaline forming with the excep-
ton Of plums. rhubarb. prunes. and
cranberries, which contain organic
acids not readily oxidized by people
suffering from acidosis.
The cereals ana meats, while they
contain valuable elements for body
metabolissn are slightly acid.forming
and their acidity should be counter
acted by large quantities Of alkaline
forming foods, being careful. however,
not to combine the acid fruits with
any Of the starchy foods. The aka.
line-forrning foods, listed In the ap-
proximate order Of their abundance
Of alkaline end products. are:
Dried figs. olives. dried lima beans,
garbanxos, soy beans. spinach, water.
melon, raisins, swiss chArd, fresh lima
beans, chestnuts, almonds. carrots,
dates. parsnips. rutabagas, beets, eel
cry. cucumbers. lettuce. cabbage po-
tatoes, muskmelon. evaporated milk,
apricots, string beans, cherries, Or
anges, tomatoes, bananas, peaches,
dried peas, raspberries, grApejuice,
apples. mushrooms, pears, squash.
grapes, canned string beans, turnips,
buttermilk. milk. pumpkins. green
peas, onions. asparagus and other
fruits and vegetables.
The acid forming foods include all
Of the cereals, meats. cheese, fish and
eggs, and this does not mean that
these foods are harmful. They do
contain very valuable elements. Il
one limits the amount Of acid.forming
foods to about one.third Of the diet,
and the alkaline forming foods to
about two-thirds, there will be Q suf-
ficient leeway so that . healthy body
can take care Of the balance.
Sometimes patients who suffer
from acidosis avoid the citrus fruits
because they are acid in taste, but
this Is q mistake, AS experiments have
definitely proven that they make the
blood more alkaline. In fact one Of
the best cures for acidosis Is an ex.
elusive citrus fruit diet for q time.
It Is possible to change the aka
Unity Of acidity Of the urine ct viii,
according to the type Of food used.
This knowledge becomes valuable In
treating high blood pressure patients
A. It is often possible by means Of
limiting the Acid.forming foods and
increasing the alkaline forming foods
to bring the blood pressure down to
normal. In experiments upon rab-
bits and guinea pigs It has actually
been possible to develop high blood
pressure and Bright's disease by feed
Ing the animals upon highly acid
forming foods and these diseases we're
avoided by balancing the diet.

The traveller crossing the arid west Of our North Amer
lea and visiting the numerous reclamation undertakings
there costing hundreds of millions Of dollars might cas-
lily imagine that progressive Uncle Sam had taken the
lead in large irrigation operations. Facts are. however,
that throughout the globe mankind has now reclaimed
and has In production 2oo.0oo.000 acres of land of which
North Americas share is only 270oo,Oo0 acres. Asia has
gone us five times better and some over with roundly
l4O0 00,O 900 acres Of irrigated land. Europe has over half
as much as VIC, In her fifteen million acres; Africa has
ten millions; and finally Oceanica, including Australia,
which needs ~irrigating more than any other world Sec
ton. has thus far a~rtificially watered only a million and
a quarter acres. Asia also leads in ratio Of irrigated land
to total surface, with Europe second. In ratio to popula-
ton North America leads and our United States stands
at the top, we having watered ITS acres per head Of
this despite the claim that ours is the 'driest"
of all lands.

SHORT.LIYEDS SONG HITS,

The American people have developed a voracious ap-
petite for music, and satisfying that appetite is q greater
task than the - labors Of Hercules. Catering to the ma
TONS musical car is an endless job.
Before the advent Of the photograph, the life Of a
popular song was a year or longer. It travelled slowly
and any one audience was relatively small in numbers.
One years Broadway hits reached the remote hinter-
land a year and sometimes two years later. Moreover.
they were not heard 50 frequently that the public soon
tired OF them.
Popularization OF the photograph cut the life Of the
song hit to two months or a little longer. Music no
longer needed to wait for distribution through sheet music
and the stage. And then came the radio.
1t Is a good song or dance number which can survive.
in popularity. a month OF present-day radio. orchestra.
movie and photograph broadcasting. The song hit Of
today is dinncd into the publcs cars all day and all
night for a week or two. when it becomes an 'old num-
ber." The wear and tear has become fast and furious.
Thus the nation finds itself in a period of music in
flation. The demand has increased the supply, but
hardly improved it. In music as in money the bad
drives out the good.

LOSING THE REAL THING

Al Capone. the bogey-man of the Chicago gangs, turns
out 10 be a devoted family man, a loving husband and a
kind and considerable father.
This is developed in a story dug up in Chicago recently
by a correspondent for this paper and NEA Service. Most
OF US. probably. had supposed that capone slept with his
pistols anc sough, his relaxation in the manner of a
Nero. but his private life, it seems, is like that OF any
contented. hone-loving suburbanitc.
But. naturally it isn't all idylic. Capone can't see his
family often. Right now. of course, being il Jail, he can't
see en- at all; but we're talking of normal conditions.
Tie perils that dog the footsteps OF a gang leader are
too great. Capone does we'll if he gets home once a week.
Then he has a few brief hours Of relaxation with his wife
and child-atter which he is escorted back to his hotel by
a half dozen heavily armed gunner.
ALL In 81, you could draw quite a moral out of all this
If you casrd to. 1t is apparent that Capone entered the
gang worf because Of his ambition. He wanted to make
life esSy for his wife and his son and his aged Italian
mother; his life is wrapped up in them. and he does the
Illegal, violent things he docs for the same reason that
the ordinary man works hard at an ordinary job-to
make his home secure and comfortable.
But the very nature of his work thwarts him. His
"busncss'-if you can call it that-which gives him the
money to provide for his family, also prevents him from
enjoying family life. He has made himself rich, but he
has shut himself out from the things he wants most.
Yes, you could draw quite a moral out Of it all. But.
really, Capone isn't the only man in that sort of fix.
Turn from the underworld to the realm of regular bus
mess ana you WILL Tina parallels 10 CaponeS course on
every hand.
A young man marrics and enters business. He becomes,
say, a salesman. His one ambition is to make things
nice for his wife and for the youngsters that begin ap-
pearing on the scene. He exists simply for them. So he
works his head off in order that he may advance in his
business, earn more money and give his loved ones the
lCurieS that they will enjoy.
What happens? His job takes so much OF his time and
energy that he has none left for his family. He rises IN
business, to be sure; by the time he is middle aged he has
a fat salary, a house in the country, three automobiles
ard so on. But he lis out of touch with his family. His
wife and children are out of his circle. He misses the
very things that he worked SO hard to get.
That isn't an uncommon occurrence. Indeed, in some
degree it happens to nearly every ambitious man in the
country. We spend SO much time making a living that
We have1t any energy left to devote to living.
AL Caponc isn't the only man who has found that you
can lose a thing by pursuing it too hard.

UNCLE TOMS CABIN

UNCLE TOMS CABIN.
To-day is the birthday of Uncle Tom,
Simon Legree. Little Eva. Topsy and
all the other we'll known characters
in Harriet Bcecher Stoves story,
"Unclc Toms Cabin" They were
born into the world simultaneously
with the publication Of the first chap
ter in the National Era. at Washing
ton, D. G. For almost a year this his.
toric anti-slavery tract ran as a SER
ial story without attracting undue at
tention.
Upon its conclusion. 1t was pub
lished in book form and met with inn
mediate. phenomenal success. Five
hundred thousand copies were sold in
the United States in five years and
many more in England.
Historians sometimes point to
Uncle Toms Cabin" as INT Of the
major causes of the Civil War. It
first appeared when slavery was a po-
litical issue, bitter enough. but not
cmoticnally stirring except to ex-
tremists.
The story did not present q true
picture OF typical slave life. Uncle
Toms hardships were the exception
instead Of the rule. Neither was the
story great literature, according to
most critics. But running through
It there is a spirit of earnestness and
realism that has made It an undying
part Of American letters.

A SHINING VIRTUE

No doubt you take pains to cultivate
in your child honesty, orderliness and
industry-the humdrum virtues.
But what about the one shining vir-
tue of the human race-curiosity? It
is at least as important for his hap
piness as the others. The measure
of your child's curiosity Is to . large
extent the measure Of the amount Of
fun he will get out Of life.
Is your child one Of those who
wants to know the why of everythingp
Does he poster you with questions to
which he really wants to know the
answers? You should be pleased.
Does he take things apart to see
what they are made Of? Fine. Is he
eager always for new experience?
Does he feel that the unknown al
ways is worth finding out about? That
Is quite as 1t should be.
Help him be curious. Answer his
questions, but don't give him such
exhaustive explanations that he Is
overcome with facts.
When he comes home with q new
discovery. act as II 1t were news to
you, too. and listen with interest while
he tells you all about It.
Don't steal his thunder. II you are
keen about Botany, let him learn to
be keen about It for himself. Don't
force 1t down his throat. You may
know that plants are marvellous. but
he will never want to know Z thing
about them II you bore him with dis
courses and smother him with In
formation. Expose him to wonders,
but don't try to commander his At
tention. It can't be done.
Give him the wherewithal to feed
his curiosity and follow his own In
v~estigations. See that the young ex-
perimenter has tools, the bird fan Q
pair Of field glasses. Provide refer
ence books which are readable and
trustworthy. II your child's researches
result in collections. see that they
are as little tempered with - the
most precious volumes In your IL
hrAry.
