Start In Right Place

The Christmas season is a funny time of year,
when you stop to think about it.
For brief two three weeks we seem to step out
Of our ordinary characters We take on generositv
and thoughtfulness that we don't exhibit very much
at other times. We let other peoples poverty and
misery bother us, and We try to do what we can to
help.
In every city in the land people are joining hands
to bring happiness to the homes of the unfortunate
Coal, flour, meat and clothing being got to-
gether for families that stand to be cold and hungry
this winter. Newspapers luncheon clubs charitable
organizations and other groups are collecting toys
boxes Of candy and for children who are look
ing forward to barren holiday. There will be turkey
dinners for folks who haven't had good square meal
for weeks.
All in all, people are really going to good deal
OF trouble to see that those who less lucky less well
supplied with this worlds goods get an even break
on Christmas
This is mighty encouraging. No one can look on
this specacethis sudden flare-up generosity and
kindness on the part Of millions OF peope-without
getting new faith in human nature.
But we're strange race, at that. For we tend to
conne our generosity and thoughtfulness to this
one period of the year
Around Christmas time We get so that we're both
cred by the thought that there people in our town
unhappy to think of them; so unhappy that we get
busy and do something about it.
But during the rest of the year it doesn't worry
us. We don't take time to think about it. The people
that we help at Christmas time can fight their own
battes-and lose them, too-from January to De-
cernber.
Generosity Is beautiful thing. But why should
we display it only two weeks out of the whole year?
We don't really amount to quite as much as we
think we do. We're not quite as good or as kind or
as noble, as we suppose
If we could only carry over, into everyday life
the Sensitiveness and consideration that we display
around Christmas We could make this into pretty
fine sort of world. The job of building the city of
God right here this troubIe-stained EARTH isn't
half as hard as it's cracked up to be- 1t would be
dead easy if we'd start in the right place
And where is that right place? Right in our own
hearts, Of course.
Put into your daily life the anxiety about your
fellow mans welfare that you display on Christmas
and you'll have done your part
That's al there is to it. Simple, isn't it? One of
these days, won't we be able to do it?

Paving College Athletes

College athletes should be paid and college ath-
letics handled as business proposition, in the
opinion of DR.. George x Carothers of the University
of Michigan. If football star can swell gate re-
ceipts by his performances he is entitled to $4,000
or $4,000 a year, the doctor thinks.
Perhaps. The suggestion has at least the merit
OF recognizing the connercaism of college athletics
about which there has been so much complaint. 1t
would make the whole thing above board.
But it oVerlooks the fact that the business of COL
eges is to educate, fact Dr. Carothers' colleagues
no doubt will be quick to bring to his attention Foot
ball percentages would supplant academic achieve
ment Moreover, out-and-out comInercialism would
destroy much of the attraction of college athletics
There wouldn't be the thrill in watching paid per-
former go through his PAGES that there is in the
case of youngster playing for love of the game and
his school.
SO with the suggestion of Dean James D. Hoskns
of the University of Tennessee that credits be given
for football. This would be in the nature of a re-
ward and the comforting of recognition for Drawn

Business and the Farmer

The United States Chamber of Commerce, through
its agricultural service department committee has in
dorsed the principle" Of cooperative marketing and
creation of the federal farm board. The conclu
sions of the committee, told, are the result Of
study since last october.
But at the same time attention is called to the
fact that the national chamber advocates cooperative
marketing and in support of it only insofar
they not discriminatory against other business
enterprise" This conclusion is self-contradctory
Is the chambers conclusion revelation Of the at
ttude of business toward the farm relief program?
The farm board has created wheat marketing
operative through which 1t is hoped the bulk Of the
country's crop eventually may be handled. Similar
porations will be organized for other commodities.
This inevitably viii mean the displacement of some

lect toll every bushel of grain the farmer raises
is the idea Of the farm board that the growers them
selves should market their produce, and put in their
own pockets the money they have been paying others
to do 1t for them.
The farmers would control output, distribution and
other processes.
The government agreed to foster and advise Co
operatives and supply them with funds when the
equalization fee the export debenture and other
gested measures were turned down. The farm board
has been doing what the law contemplated
The purpose OF cooperative marketing is to elini-
nate some middle in the interest of economy and
efficiency If the chamber accepts the principle of CO.
operative marketing, the chamber can not complain
when cooperative marketing achieves its purpose
Solution Of the farm problem will benefit the coun-
try whole 1t is hoped that these business inter-
ests represented by the chamber will find it possible
to go along with the farm board, even though few
toes are trod upon.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

ularly. Tie Gerson diets enpha-
size the taking of mineral salts and
vitanlins.
OF special note is the final opir1-
ion just voiced by Professor Felix
Klemperer, the well-knoWn tuber-
culosis expert Of Berlin, who has
completed some studies of the Ger
son diets.
Professor KIelnperer is willing to
grant that the Gerson diet may
have favorable effect on lupus or
tuberculosis Of the skin, but he has
not been impressed by the results
in tuberculosis of the bones and
joints and he has not been con-
WINGED that the method is of i'm
portance for treating tuberculosis of
the lungs.
The views of Professor Klemperer
are supported, incidentally, by an
announcement made by DR..
Schwalm, who Is in charge Of one Of

the largest sanitoriums for the
tubercular in Berlin.
DR.. Schwalm treated twenty
patients with the Gerson diet. In
not one of the twenty did he find
any noticeable improvement in the
tuberculosis Of the lungs. The in
creases in weight were only such as
were regularly seen in the SAN
itorium in patients on the usual
diet.
There were furthermore no signs
Of deterioration. The cod liver oil
and phosphorus used in the Gerson
diets have long been used in the
treatment of tuberculosis.
The final statement is: ave have
not been able to discover that the
Gerson diet is superior to the diet
commonly used at German SAM
forums, which also takes due &C
count of the vitaninS and includes
plenty of milk, fruit and vege-
tables"

Works asst

Il HAD to work fast. 1t wasn't
l. the spot to begin any long talk
about oVercroWding and food and

Instead of that, I told them funny

funny story. And then 1 must adj

1T was so dark by now couldn't

And there wasn't anything to hear.
If they didn't laugh, what were they
doing? What were they up to? I
told another story and that sunk all
the way down to the bottom Of
the same black pit.
"Of course, I was desperate now
and 7 did a thing maybe didn't
have any right to do. I told them
another story, but this was differ
ent kind of a story.
1T was the sort of a story that
oughtnt to be told in prison. 1t
was the dirtiest story I knew. And
they laughed. Not just a few Of
them; the whole crowd. 1t ran all
the way up and down the room.
'I knew now where we all stood.
I took time out to mop my fore
head and while I was hopping, the
lights came on. After that I talked

Millions

CLNKING a ttlree-rnile shaft would
~ be extremely costly. However,
many scientific endeavors have
reached the stage where an invest
ment of millions is required The
new 200-inch telescope now being
designed for the California Insti-
tute Of Technology will cost $12,000,-
600.
Perhaps some great foundation,
with millions at its disposal, will
conclude that the shaft is Of suffi-
cient importance to the progress Of
knowledge to justify the cost.
The difficulty Of sinking the shaft
can be visualized when it is re-
merbered that the temperature in
the earth increases one degree Fab
renheit for every seventy-six feet.
At depth Of five miles. the tenn
perature would be several hundred
degrees 1t is impossible to say ex-
actly what the temperature would
be, because there is no evidence as
TO what the rate of increase might
be at lower depths. 1t might be
more or less than that already OBJ
served in mines.
DR.. Shapley suggests that great
refrigeration plants be utilized to
pump liquid air down into the shaft
to counterfeit the high temperature.
A second difficulty would be the
air pressure. At a depth of several
miles, the increase in pressure would
be very great. There would I'M
doubtedly have to be some way of
controlling the pressure.

Shaft

THE most recent work of Shapley
4 has been to show that these
spiral nebulae, many of which are
systems or galaXies of stars like our
own Milky Way, are organized into
groups.
He calls them galaxies of galaxies.
These in turn, he finds, are grouped
into super-galaxies or clouds of ga
lakes Of galaxies."
And now Shapley suggests that
science turn its attention to the in
terror Of the earth.
The contrast is amazing in many
ways. We know more about the
spiral nebulae, a million light-years
away. than we do about the interior
Of the earth.
One of the greatest mysteries in
the whole universe lies right under
your own feet. 1t is the structure
and composition of the earth's in
terror.
1t is 1000 miles to the center of
the earth. The deepest mine is
little more than a mile deep. Com
pared to the 1000 miles to the center
Of the earth, it Is mere pin scratch.
Professor Shapley suggests that
shaft be sunk into the rocks of the
earth'S crust and the laboratories
be built into the rock at various
levels along the shaft.
He does not think that at present
down with the shaft. He does think,
however, that a depth of two or
three miles might be obtained.
He would have the shaft sunk
near some great university so that
the study of the "plutonic" labo-
ratories along the shaft could be
correlated with the work Of the
geological, physical and chemical
departments of the university.

place.
After an unavailing protest
against the importation Of tea as
part Of the policy Of taxing the
colonies without representation in
parliament, a number OF Bostonians,
in Indian disguise, proceeded 70
three ships carrying cargoes of tea
and began throwing tea into the

For three hours the work went
on, and 342 chests we're emptied.
Then, under the light Of the moon,
the Indians" marched to the sound
Of fife and drum to their homes,
and the vast throng Of spectators
melted away.
Paul Revere, who is said to have
been one of the Indians" was sent
to Philadelphia with the news,
which was announced at that place
amid ringing of bells and general
rejoicing.

good deal of excitement when the

afternoon one of the guards told me
things weren't right. He couldn't
pin his thumb down on anything
special, but the men were restless.
"By nighttime nobody needed to
tell me that. My house is inside
the walls and all night long there
was a hum along the cell blocks. 1t
meant the men were talking. Not
loud, you understand, but we had
them crowded in close.

GONE little time ago a prison
~ warden told me of a mutiny, or
to be more precise, a mutinous mood
which occurred in his penitentiary
and of the manner in which it
ended. 1t seemed to me a good
newspaper story, and asked him if
I could use it. He said mo" be-
cause he felt that it might appear as
If he were starring himself.
But I hate to see a good yarn go
to waste, and my friend can hardly
object if I call him "a" and refer to
the institution as "A'' penitentiary.
Nor will I attempt at this late date
to give the story precisely in his own
words, which I have forgottn. 1
remember better the impression
which his tale created.
For the sake of convenience we
will pretend that "A" is speaking,
the incidents are wholly his, the
words are largely mine.
