"SlOw Up!"

A most significant warning concerning our healtn
recently came from Dr. Morris Fishbein, writer for
The Times editor Of the Journal OF the American
Medical Association, and thus one OF the FOREMOST
authorities on health in this country.
He pointed out that while medical science had
made many important discoveries which have tended
10 make the nation healthier statistics show that peo-
pie are not living longer. In recent years some OF
the foremost authorities have predicted that advance
ments in medicine will make it possible to increase
greatly the average longevity. But so far, there is
little evidence Of these predictions coming true.
It is true that real strides have been made in COM
hating infant mortality Because Of improved health
standards and wider dissemination Of knowledge con-
corning the care of children their chances of living
through infancy have been greatly increased. Also
more lives of middle-aged persons are saved due to
remarkable operations and more skilled physicians.
But the story is different when old age comes DR..
Fishbein points out The human body is wonderful
mechanism but it wears out and unlike our modern
machines, parts of it not be renewed.
We live at fast pace and it is this fact that pre-
vents the longevity tables from showing an increase
compared with the Announcements in medical science
Too few of us slow down before the physician really
can help
Possibly this is due to the fact that we are pac-
ing too much reliance on medical science We have
heard of its wonderful progress and instead of watch
ing our health carefully throughout life possibly some
of us are too inclined to let things take their course
in the belief that any i'll can be cured in this wonder
full age.
Too few of us have regular physical examinations
and too few heed the warning signals of nature.
We try to keep the pace Of youth We do not
guard our health at the very time when strength
must be conserved. We worry too much. We do not
give medical science chance to accomplish its won"
ders, and we forget that while it do much it can
not work miracles.
In some of the isolated sections of the coun-
try where the fast pace of modern civilization has not
yet spread people living to remarkable ages. AL
though mortality rates among Indian children are
high many Indians are living beyond the age OF 80
wears These facts seem to add weight to DR.. Fish
beins conclusion that living too fast worry
ing too much working too hard and not watch
S ing our health as we should.
His warming is "sow up!" We all know he is
right but more of the American people should heed
his advice

Labor Gains

Half million wage earners won the hve-day
week in 1879 according to President William Green
of the American Federation of Labor, who is meeting
with the executive council of the organization at At
antic City to prepare report to submit to the an
nual convention in october.
This is only one item of cheering news according
to Green The federation has increased its member
ship and many of its unions have won wage increases
for their members-nlore money, as Green reminds US
to flow into the channels of retail trade and thereby
stimulate production and employment
But one question the president of the coun-
trys largest and most powerful labor organization
could not answer: Just how many people are out OF
work Aside from the fact that unemployment seems
worse in the smaller towns than in the cities, and
that it does not than usual he confessed
the same ignorance as the rest Of u.s.
1t is a good thing for the country that the forth
coming federal census WILL for the first time, be used
in an attempt TO determine this very important
question. Green himself is on advisory commit
lee which is helping the census officials. Labor at
Atlantic City is to draft series of questions fo@ the
census takers. which will determine just who is an
unemployed person, and how many there are.

Good, Clean Fun

CTILL, Hoover does not seem
- wholly unresponsive to the urge
of good, clean fun and innocent rec
reation. Much of his time in the
summer camp is devoted to erecting
small dams in the rapids in the
river to provide pools into which
trout may go.
It is told how Hoover and some Of
his guests don hip-boots and wade
into the waters carrying heavy
stones, happy, carefree and buoyant.
At times one feels sure the lit Of
song must enliven the presidential
ladders. and certainly there must be
at intervals a modicun Of chaste
persif1age.

PINE TREES

The cells which compose plants very delicate
and very complex. The protopiasm which constitutes
them requires constant repair.
Assimilation is the technical knowledge by which
the food products, chiefly the proteins, built into
new protoplaSm.
Within the cells tiny bubbles known vacuoes.
These contain what is known as the cell sap This is
chiefly water Dissolved in it, however sugars,
mineral salts and acids.
These vacuoes are the reservoirs or supply houses
of the cell The cell Secretes tire substances mentioned
sugars, mineral salts and aclds-into them.
Then when the cell needs these substances for the
repair of its protoplasn it withdraws them from the
vacuoles
OF course. it must be understood that the whole
process is purely automatic
An extremely delicate balance of chemical sub
stances and electrical forces as we'll cause the secre-
ton of these substances into the vacuoles Changes
in the protopasm upset this balance so as to cause
the materials to flow from the vacuoles back into the
cells.
The processes which go in living cells are ex-
ceedingly complex and often hard to explain.
But the more modern science discovers about them.

From an understanding OF cells come to the

What a 'Hick Cop Did

We're ready to lead the cheering for Sheriff L. E
Alderman of Prowers county, Colorado.
Sheriff Alderman you probably have read, is
that six-foot rough-hewed two-gun guardian Of the
law in that remote Colorado county whose keenness
in tracking down gang of bank robbers puts fiction
story detectives to shame. rural Colorado farmer
until his election by his neghbors two years ago. he
stepped into the case with all the sagacity and
acumen of a trained sleuth, solved the battling mys
terry rounded up seven alleged members of the gang
in various parts of the United States and has fur
nished police departments everywhere with photos
and fngerprints of the alleged ringleader, who
escaped him by only ten minutes in Peoria Ill.
Which. we think, was good job
The most amazing part about the whole is
how this ex-farmer, unframed in the ways OF big
cities and in the ways of criminals, succeeded where
other officers. with more opportunity to know the
devious ways of the underworld had failed. 1t
locks like a man who probably would be referred to
in criminal parlance "hick cop" and sneered at
by professional detectives has out-smared of the
most daring gangs of desperadoes the southwest has
known since the days of Jesse James and brought
them to bay.
Well. maybe Sheriff Alderman was "a hick cop;
maybe he didn't know any more about crminoogy. or
clews Bertillon photos, blood tests and things
like that until he undertook to solve this case. But
the fact remains, he did it.
1t would be good thing if We had more of these
"hick cops" in some of our big cities. They may be
inexperienced and perhaps little unsophsticated,
but they are intelligent. upright. dilgent and per-
sistent No thought of graft from bootleggers no
fear Of political pressure svays them ad they don't
play politics for current city administration.

Frances African Empire

TIME bulk of Germany's former
4. colonial possessions in Africa
went to France.
Together with those previously
acquired, they constitute an empire
larger than the United States not
only in area, but resources.
It is with a view of exploiting this
empire that France establishes trade
and commercial agencies throughout
the world, and that she takes up
the long deferred project OF rail-
road across the Sahara.
The Sahara separates the French
colony of Algiers on the Med1ter-
ranean coast from the vast and
fertile area of central Africa, just
as our own great desert once sep
arated the east from the Pacific
coast.
The problem of constructing a
railroad across the Sahara is much
like that which faced American en-
gineers when they started to run
rails from Missouri or Texas to the
Sierra Nevadas.
1t is just a great waste, trans
versed by high barren mountains
with a few water holes around
which center consequential tribes
of fierce natives.
It's main rails are marked by the
bones of camel and man, just as
TIN e of the west we're once marked
by the bones of horse, OK and man.

Intensive Study May Strain Eyes

far more rapidly than others and
to comprehend what they read more
rapidly. He recognizes also that
much of this ability rests in heredity
and is perhaps form of genius.
Intellectual capacity is practically
determined at birth and gains only
by proper training. There is a def
mite and individual limit to the
speed of correct recognition and
perception of objects and of words,
and if this limit is exceeded, there
is penalty represented by lessened
accuracy, poor memory and inhibi-
ton Of associative values which are
important in learning.
The tests that have been made
indicate that the most rapid read
ers can do al best a page Of solid
reading in a minute and that this
speed seldom can be maintained
with any usefulness for more than
half an hour at time.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

forcing produce weakness of the
eye muscles and eye strain through
prolonged overattention.
He believes that the curriculums
of study are so intensive nowadays
that the physical cost of this type
of training yields questionable profit
when balanced with the efficiency
produced.
1.-THE world does not require faster
and more neurotic persons" he says,
"but urgently needs more accurate
and more dependable ones"
There Is a definite limit to the
amount of words that any reader
can see at a single glance. The at
tempts to force the vision to see
more and comprehend more in a
short space Of time is likely to pro-
duce strains resulting in serious
incapacity.
Doctor Mills recognizes the fact
that many people are able to read
