DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

to the milk to which infants may
object.
To get the necessary vitamins
into the milk the diet of the mother
must contain milk, butter, eggs, two
green vegetables and fresh fruit,
preferably orange.
Butter contains the vitamins A
and D, and it is necessary that at
least one ounce Of good butter be
taken daily. If this is not taken,
it is necessary to give cod liver oil
to make certain that vitaninS A
and D are received.
The mother should take at least
one quart of milk each day, which
need not necessarily be in the
form of liquid milk, but may be
used as cocoa, ice cream, or GUS
tard.
A pound of evaporated milk
equals quart of bottled milk.
Eggs contain vitamin D and cal
cium. The green vegetables provide
vitamins B and c, and mineral
salts. The orange is rich in vita

TINE arrest of these seventy-fve customs agents
stationed on the Canadian border, charged with
having accepted brides from rum runners. reminds
of a story told the other day by a man who
visited Canada last summer.
This mans party left Canada by automobile. and
on reaching the border halted by the American
customs agent
He asked if they had any hooch and the members
Of the party said mo-, whereupon the customs agent
went through their baggage and found it dry a
bone.
But he did concentrate his official attention upon
two small pieces of wearing apparel worn by the
ladies, the having been purchased in this coun-
try before the trip to Canada.
The items trivial that the extended dis
cussion about it bordered on the absurd.
VXTHILE this rag chewing about the two small
wv pieces of apparel was going large truck
drove up from Canada the same being garnished with
a very impressive layer of dust.
The customs officer looked up and asked the truck
driver what he had and the driver said saw dust!
Drive on!" said the customs officer without ques-
ton.
Well, the gentleman whose ladies had the apparel
which troubled the customs officer finally convinced
the defender of the republic that the stuff bought
in this country and he got into his car and drove
south.
Some forty miles southwark this gentleman over
took the truck loaded with saw DUST and the driver
thereof beating it fast as he could in the gen.
eral direction of the equator.
As general thing saw dust" is not carried that
far.
OF course, We would not infer that the customs
Oofficer was bribed.
There's something very convincing about truck
as drivers of small have had occasion to observe
now and then when meeting them the highway.
and then again there's an air of authority about
dust that can not be denied

But when We read Of the arrest of the aforesaid
seventy-fve customs officers charged with taking
brides from booze importers we couldn't help but won

ing apparel, but Immediately gave the glad hand to

DictatorShipS Popular

A LIED nations may have gained
IA something of permanent value
by winning the war, but little has
happened yet to prove it. Though
France may be prosperous, she is
dangerously disconnected. Though
England may have shown wonderful
poise and self control, she has failed
to solve many Of her economic and
political problems.
Right now a group Of laboriteS,
under the lead of Sir Oswald
Mosely, not only is boiling the Mac
Donald program, but calling for a
dictatorship. Dictatorship has grown
surprisingly popular in a world
saved for democracy" and partic-
ularly with the so-called liberals.
A freed Poland, reconstructed Italy
and modernized Turkey are all
bossed by some strong man and
apparently glad of it, while the Ger
man republic Is being run by presi-

Constitutional

TN the letter to Governor Young
Il the majority opinion stated that
Billings had been fairly and ccnsti-
tutionally tried. This is reducing
ordinary English phraseology to an
absurdity.
The court may say, If it SO
chooses, that the dry bones OF legal
ity were duly ratified in the court
room where the two labor leaders
were found guilty. But that is far
from being fair trial.
How can trial possibly be con-
sidered fair when it is openly adj
mitted that most of the key wit
nesses were liars? Indeed. several
of them have said as much.
But the supreme court Of Cali
fornia has chosen to decide that
these particular witnesses were ly-
ing only when they said that they
lied.
1t may be difficult to build a par
don upon the testimony of folk
whose veracity is palpably unstable.
But it ought to be impossible to
found conviction upon the say-so
of such witnesses.

Rate Of Deposit

MYTH geological strata depos-
w tied at an average rate Of
one meter every 5000 years. the
total 175,000 meters of strata listed
by Professor Holmes would require
more than 5O0,0O0,0OO years for
their deposition, Professor Hevesy
says.
At the much slower rate of one
foot in 1000 years, which many
biologists, think is more nearly
right, the time would be about D.
100000 years.
Many biologists think that even
this is a little fast, and prefer to
put the age of the earth at about
5000, 100000 years.
I'VE are approaching the end
of a geological period characterized
by formation of hills and rising
continents" says Professor Hevesy.
These conditions are favor
able for transportation Of matter
to the sea, since the river gradients
are sleeper and the circulation OF
ground water more thorough.
In the long geological ages of the
past, when the sea flooded the
present lands and mountain eleva-
tions consequently we're appreciably
lower, exactly opposite considera-.
lions applied"
AS result of this, Professor
Hevesy believes that we can not
accept the idea that the geological
hour glass has run with perfect
regularity.
Man has also accelerated the rate
of deposit by cultivating the land,
cutting down and uprooting forests,
and otherwise interfering with
natural processes, he says.

TINE supreme court Of the state
l. of California has set up con-
tention which may be good techni-
cal law, but it is woefully unwise
as public policy.
The majority of the justices de-
clare in effect that they can not
recommend pardon for Warren
Billings because he has not been
able to prove to their satisfaction
that he is innocent beyond the re-
hottest shadow of a doubt.
The court takes occasion to point
out that the recent hearing was not
new trial, with the usual pre-
sumption of innocence on the part
of the accused.
In other words, the high bench
of California seems to have conSt1-
tuted itself into compact group OF
devils advocates. The justices, with
one exception, seemed to be intent
upon doing the least possible to
right an old wrong.
1t may be bad law, but 1t would
be good humanity to give at least
an edge to men who have been held
so long in jail as a result OF per-
iared testimony.

Due to War

WHETHER it's the confusion
w caused by an almost con-
tinuous falling of French cabinets,
by Germanys equally continuous
demand for delay in reparation
payments, by the unemployment
situation in England, by the curious
economic policy of Red Russia, or
by the unexpected slump in our
own country, you can trace the bulk
Of it to war.
That is something we older folks
not only should keep in mind, but
teach our children. Civilization still
is paying the price of its folly and
will be for many years to come.
Let us not hide the truth with
monuments, military music, brass
button parades and one-sided his
tories, as we have in the past, but
make some attempt to keep the rec
ord straight on both sides of the
ledger and give posterity a chance
to realize what war means.

Cash for Veterans

CECRETARY MELLON, who gen.
~ orally can be depended on to
line up with the conservatives, says
that while there might be some
good arguments for giving the vet
Grams cash in the place of the GER
tif1cates they now hold, it would in
volve too great interference with
our debt-reducing program.
Furthermore, he says that 1t
might be difficult to raise the
necessary So, 400, 900, and that it Ger
tainly would impose a burden on
the taxpayers, which should be
avoided.
Senator Vandenberg suggests that
we kill both birds with one stone by
exchanging regular interest-bearing
government bonds with the veterans
for their certificates, which bear no
interest, which will not mature for
fifteen years, and which can not be
sold, or borrowed on for anything
like their face value at this time.

Stubborn Bench

THERE is a StuboornneSS IN

judges. Particularly the little ones
It takes a great deal of character
for a man to change his opinion,
and this sort of openmihdedness
seems to be wholly absent from the
high bench in California.

speak to a radical group about the
Mooney Billings case several months
ago, and he said that his audience
would find small confirmation for
any theory that this harsh and un-
repentant court thwarted the fight

closely allied with big Business
Malone said he had made close
study of the composition of the
court and that to his surprise he
found most of the members wholly
without previous corporate affilia-
tons.
In fact, he said that several mem
bers of the California supreme
court seemed to be without legal ex-
perience of any sort. Malone t0lc

We understand that this tendency already is be-
ginning and that men disguised with California
handling of the Mooney Billings case are insisting
upon Florida citrus fruits from their grocery stands
and fruit dealers.
We hardly doubt that California will sit up
and take noticewhen she realizes how very seriously
this stand of hers against elementary justice may
affect her material interests well her moral rep
utation.
One may hope that the far-minded friends of Cal
ifornia will realize the damage which her timid
Governors and biased judges have done to the state
and that they will insist that this cloud of disgrace
be lifted and forever disspated Certainly California
not be angling for unemployment in the
present crisis and depression.

of California whose prosperity is threatened by the
action of the supreme court just now helpless

justice prevail But if their profits fall, may be
sure that they will become politically articuate.
And what can be the thoughts of those courageous
liberal statesmen who from 1905 to 1912 gave Cali
fornia worldwide reputation as far-sighted and
progressive state?

fornia supreme court. 1t is prac-
tically impossible to find any close
student of the case who believes
that Mooney and Billings are guilty
as charged.
The judge who presided at the
original trial says that the men
were unfairly, even criminally. con-
victed. The chief prosecutor at the
Billings trial is in favor of their
release.
Eight of the ten living Mooney
jurors have pleaded for a pardon.
Five of the chief witnesses against
the prisoners have either confessed
perjury or been proved to be liars.

Reliable Witness

I'LL have to take Malones word
Il for it, as it is not possible for
me to check carefully upon his
findings. But if a supreme court
judge can leap to assumptions upon
the testimony of feeble witnesses, a
columnist should be allowed to do
the same upon the word Of re-
liable one.
There is much internal evidence
to support Malone's contention.

A WOMAN who is eating a suffi-
4 n Gent diet will not produce
more milk by overeating, hence it
is inadviSable to give a nursing
mother vast quantities of milk,
matted milk, or any other food
substance.
If, however, the mother is not
taking an adequate diet, the amount
of milk may be increased by giving
her sufficient food.
The amount of milk to meet the
needs of the infant has a food value
of from 500 to 1000 calories.
If the mother requires 2,400
calories for her own needs, it will
be necessary for her to take at least
3,400 calories to take care of the adj
ditional needs of the infant.
She also will require more fluid
in order to carry the solid material.

Layers of Rock

WTE find in various parts of the
w earth, layers of rock known as
sedimentary rocks. Their nature
suggests that they were deposited in
their present locations at times
when those locations had been
flooded with shallow seas, into
which rivers poured their loads Of
sediments.
The thickness of these layers OF
rock furnishes data from which
biologists can attempt to calculate
the length of time it took for suffi-
cienU sediment to be deposited to
form them.
Professor Arthur Holmes makes
the following estimates for the max
imum thickness of the sedimentary
strata.
He estimates the thickness of the
strata deposited during the Cenozoic
era, or the era of modern life as
$4,000 meters. A meter is just a
few inches over a yard, 1898 inches.
During the Mesozoic era, or age
of reptiles, the deposit was 10000
meters, according TO LII. homes.
During the Paleozoic era, or era Of
ancient life, it was 81, 900 meters. He
estimates that there was a deposit
of at least $4,000 meters prior to the
beginning of the Paleozoic era. This
makes a total of at least 175,000
meters.
I'VE can form a general idea of
the rate at which these sediments
have been deposited" Professor
Hevesy says.
ITO take an illustration used by
Sir James Jeanes in his very stimu-
lating volume, The Universe
Around U.s. since Rameses II ruled
in Egypt, more than 5000 years ago,
sediment has been deposited at
Memphis at the rate of about one
meter every 1900 to 1900 years.

The additional cents would we'll
be paid, if everything were con-
venient and warm.
Why are all the buses on north
side and south side routes loaded to
capacity throughout the day? Those
patrons pay 10 cents a ride, and
easily could ride street railway cars
in event they wished to. We are
living in a fast, but convenient, age.
Service must be provided that will
bring the patrons downtown in a
hurry. The service must be of high
standard and convenient nature.
1 believe the city at this time is
in no financial condition to absorb
the street railway company. The
bonded Indebtedness margin is very
narrow, and it has been pointed out
that even special legislation would
not help the financial condition.
This, too, seems absurd, when near
ly every citizen is interested in low
ering taxes instead Of increasing
them.
Let the moneyed interests have a
monopoly on the street car system,
so better service can be provided
but let the committee appointed by
Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan to in

contracts so that the city would not
