ED. SIMS RETIRES.

E. A.

Fearful that it would be over looked or looked upon gesture rather than a deliberate and definite purpose. he has restated it. The Post-Intelligencer gives the account this way

BIG PLANS By Mary Graham Bonner

By Mary Graham Bonner
 The Little Black Clock was very happy and he was full of plans and ideas.
 I've turned the time back this time" the Little Black Clock said and we're going to see something which started all sorts of big things. "Watch"
 John and Peggy and the Little Black Clock found themselves in room in which a man was watch ing kettle boiling on the stove.
 'Is he going to have some tea?" Peggy asked If he is I don't see why he doesn't take the kettle off now The water certainly is boiling enough"
 Why does he watch it like that?" John asked. Well any way, it doesn't prove what moth CT says"
 Whats thatP" asked the Little Black Clock.
 My mother says that watched pot never boils. That kettle is being watched and it certainly is boiling" John answered.
 He's not interested in tea or anything just now except that boil ing kettle-or, rather, the boiling water, and the way it is behaving in that kettle"
 What a funny thing to watch" i" John said.
 Then the boiling water began to lift the lid of the kettle. Up and down went the lid, and the man seemed so very, very happy.
 T can do it. I know I can," the may was saying to himself. He had not noticed John. Nor had he noticed Peggy. Nor had he mo- ticed the Little Black Clock.
 We'll wait and see some of his experiments. I can fix the time all right even if it takes some little while" said the Little Black Clock. What in the world are we seeing?" John asked

The Answer

The question often has been asked: How a
married man with family live income of less
than $4,000 year?"
The bureau of labor statistics, in conducting
vey for the personnel Redistribution board to
found that the is: Only by going in debt.
In questioning more than five hundred married
workers under the $4,000 grade in cities
outside Washington, the bureau learned that fewer
than 10 per cent claim they support their fam
lilies.
From 40 to SO per cent were badly in debt and 60
ing deeper all the time.
Others had outside jobs, their children work.
lng or their wives were taking in boarders
Another side of the picture the neglect of
health, the crowded and undesirable living quarters,
and skimpng in the use of the necessities Of life
The labor department, in making the findings public,
added that the government pays better average SAL
airy to all its employees under the $4,000 grade than
does industry

What We Can Not Do

We live IN a marvellous age.
We build an airship that can girdle the globe in
twenty days. We master with wings the high roads
of the air. We whisper and heard around the
world. We have abolished yellow fever and other
scourges of the race. We have the vtamin tribe by
the tail We harness waterfalls and streams and send
the silent power Of electricity to the places where
work is to be done.
We build mechanical horses for those who travel
the roads and supply one to almost every American
family. We have discovered fourth dimension and
can prove what the human mind can not conceive.
We measure light speed and sound space. We pro-
duce chemical gas which will destroy the life of a
city in an hour.
All this and more we can do But to abolish pow
erty to want from the aged, to furnish labor
always for those willing to be empoyed-these are
problems too great for this great age.

Monday.
Meeting now in tenth annual session, the league
is bigger and better than it has been before.
II is not yet universal but it includes ftythree ma
tons That the United States and Russia are out

Its Importance is demonstrated by the large num-
Der of premiers and foreign ministers who now find
it necessary-as they did not few years ago-to drop
home duties and hasten to Geneva. Its discussions
will cover the whole range of current world problems

Come True

Ut is not so hard to guess that En-
4 gland would have labor min
istry and that there would be new
revolts in China and violence in
Berlin's May day riots. Again, the
failure of the naval arms parley at
Geneva was scarcely unexpected.
But there was an element of sur
prise in the Russian ultimatum to
China and in the Arab aggressions
in Palestine, which may yet grow
into the Moslen revolution Of 1.-THE
Red Napoleon"
Moreover, some of the recent
events in the air have made the
long distance bombing exploits Of
this war book less than fantastic.
On the other hand, think Floyd
Gibbons vastly exaggerateS the
strength of the left wingers in the
British Labor party. Karakhans
attempt to conquer the world is very
largely aided, in the story, by sue
cessful communist revolution in
England.
1t is by this coup that the f1ctional
Russian leader gains command Of
the sea. Until further develop
ments I shall continue to hold this
contingency unlikely.
But it seems to me that If you
grant Floyd Gibbons his premise the
rest moves on logically enough. Like
many another person of pacific ten
denotes, am fascinated by tales OF
conflict which are still in the limbo

TREATY OF PARIS

1hEA1 L OC AAGAO
Sept. 8.
THE Treaty Of Paris was signed
Il Sept. 8, 1888. between Great
Britain and the United States, and
marked the end of the American
revolution and the recognized In
dependence CT the colonies.
The four questions that caused
great difficulties before the nego-
tiators reached an agreement were:
The boundaries of the United
States; fishing rights on the coast
of Newfoundland; payment Of pri-
vate debts due from Americans to
British creditors, and compensation
Of the loyalists.
Roughly, the boundary agreed
upon was the Mississippi river on
the west, the thirty-f1rst parallel Of
latitude on the south, the Great
Lakes and st. Lawrence river on
the north and the Atlantic ocean on
the east.
The Americans we're allowed to
continue to enjoy the same rights
of fishing at Newfoundland as when
they were English coloniSts.
On the third point it was agreed
creditors on either side should meet
with no impediments in collecting
lawful debts contracted before the
war.
Regarding the loyalists, the
American negotiators consented
congress should be asked to recon-
mend to the state legislatures to
provide for restitution Of confiscated
estates and to cease all prosecutions
commenced against persons known
as loyalists.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE
Diet Must Be Well-Balanced

The only sensible way to eat is to
know your food values. More and
more this fact is being realized and
children are being taught in schools
that it is just as important to know
the amounts of protein, carbohy-
drate and fat, Of mineral salts such
as calcium, phosphorus and iron, OF
vitamins, and to know the caloric
value of average portions of various
food substances, as it is to know the
physical geography, imports and ex-
ports of some of the smaller
countries of southeastern Europe.
In fact, it is a great deal more i'm
portant, because the problem Of their
lives will be to keep their own physi-
cal condition at par and their body
machines running well, rather than
to prevent decline in rubber pro-
duction in Abyssinia.
Proteins are body building ma
terial, carbohydrates and fats are
stored and yield energy, calcium and
phosphorus are necessary for bone
growth and for nervous system
maintenance and repair, iron is vital
to blood building, the vitamins keep
the body growing, help it to resist
disease and by their presence prevent
deficiency diseases.
Inside the body are self-regulating
mechanisns which provide for TAX
ing up proper amounts of these sub
stances and putting them where
they will do the most good, pro-
vided the proper amounts of these
substances are taken into the body
in proper form to be easily assini-
lated.
Because the matter is so compli-
Gated, because food substances now
available are so many, so varied and
so SOPHISTICATED, the usual advice

TriumphS ForeSeen

MOST of our triumphs, whether
WI political or mechanical, not
only have been foreseen. but forecast
by some great mind. It was more
than 1000 years ago that Plato
wrote his Republic, while Roman
geographer argued that the world
was round fourteen centuries before
Columbus and an English nobleman
visioned the railroad three genera
tions before Watt perfected the
steam engine.
In this connection every G is
familiar with the wonderful :
mances of Jules Verne, but i
many know that long before the.
were published, Edgar Allan Poe
wrote an imaginary story of how the
Atlantic was crossed by an aircraft
in three days. That story appeared
in the New York Sun eighty-fve
years ago, and in commenting on
its shortly afterward. Poe said, "if
as some assert, the Victoria did not
absolutely accomplish the voyage
record, it would be difficult to as
sign a reason why she should not
have accomplished it."

Cling to Old Errors

THERE still are bankers and
l. business men who complain
when they see workmen travelling to
and from their places Of employ
ment in automobiles. There still are
women who feel that the mid-Vic-
tcrian distinctions ought to be re-
incarnated. There still are cliques
and groups designed for no better
purpose than to perpetuate old
time social cleavages. But-and
this is the important point-the con-
ception that society can advance
only as the average of it's members
advances has become part of the
philosophy of life, and the labor
movement has done much to make
it so.

given to everyone is to eat a we'll
balanced diet.
Try some of all of the good things
that are available for human beings
to eat. Have each meal we'll bal
anced. A good dinner ought to con-
tain a soup meat or vegetable
extractives, fish or meat with at
least two fresh vegetables, salad
with lettuce, radisheS, tomatoes or
fresh raw fruits or cold slaw, a
drink which may be a moderate
amount of tea or coffee if one pre-
fers, but a glass of milk is better,
and a dessert or sweet which pro-
vides energ- and g;-'"- sense of
fullness and satisfaction Of the ap-
petite.
With this food every one ought
to have at least eight glasses of
water a day, which may be taken
one at each meal, one a few iiours
after each meal, one on arising and
one on going to bed.
If the diet is properly regulated
and II the person is normal otnef-
wise, it is possible to gain weight or
to lose weight or to maintain it at
fairly constant level. If the diet
is we'll chosen laxatives and cathar-
tics will be unnecessary. With good
nutrition, resistance against disease
is increased.
Physicians now recognize that
control of the diet is one of the most
important of all measures for the
prevention of disease and for its
treatment as well.
But to use diet satisfactorily it is
necessary to know food values. Sub
sequent articles in this series will

BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor Journal of the American Medical
Association and of Hygeia, the
Health Magazine.
IN my series of articles on the
4 Hollywood diet published a few
weeks ago. I emphasized that these
diets were dangerous because they
offered less than half the food
value that the average person needs
to maintain strength and health,
and I said over and over that any
too rapid reduction in weight is
dangerous.
The best authorities insist that
any loss of weight over two pounds
a week for the average person is
unsafe. Any diet like the eighteen
day diet credited to Hollywood
should be undertaken only under
the constant advice of doctor.
Diets averaging from 1000 to 1900
calories a day may be tried by those
in normal health and who wish to
reduce a few pounds.
One of the simplest methods is
merely to cut down by one-half
the amount of food usually taken,
eating the same things, but half
as much as usual.
The average person eats three or
four thousand Galleries Of food a
Gay. Obviously on LOO to 1900
calories he can lose weight at the
rate of one or two pounds week
unless there is something wrong
with him. There is nothing magical
about these diets. They can be used
any day in any order. If you know
your caiories you can figure out all
sorts of variations.

Saving on Taxes

THERE is one consoling feature
l. with reference to the gasoline
tax imposed by many states. 1t can
be deducted from the federal income
tax, If Thomas w. White, collector
of internal revenue at Boston, is
correct.
"The tax paid for gasoline" he
explains, like all other taxes, is de-
ductible from the income on which
the United States government lev
les tax" It is estimated that the
people of Massachusetts will save
something like $9ooo,0OoO, though
the gasoline tax in That state is only
2 cents In other states, where the
tax is higher, there will be a pro-
portionately larger saving.

A THOUGH not convinced by
IA 1.-THE Red Napoleon" of Floyd
Gibbons, I am just little terrified.
Not only is the whole world drawn
into the conflict which the author
pictures for the not too distant flu
ture, but this particular columnist is
killed by gas bomb in the streets
of New York.
To be sure, Gibbons has not said
that all this will happen. He mere
ly says that it might happen. His
own dedication expresses the fervent
wish that his prophetic tale will not
come true. Heartily I join in this
wish.
still am pacifist, but must be
fair enough to admit that not few
of the Gibbons guesses have already
