Listen, World!
BY Elsie Robinson

Eva Smith has an old bureau,
filled with clothes. A dozen or
so dresses, scores of silk ted
dies. slips and nightieS, all
jammed In, helter-Skelter.
They're not old clothes. Shak.
ing out the wrinkles, you're
caught by their modish cut and
tricky decoration and you won
der why they've been discarded.
But on closer inspection you see
that there's something wrong
with each garment. A ripped
sleeve-buttons gone-an hours
work would put them to rights.
'sBut what's the use?" says Eva.
''It isn't worth my time. Ready
made clothes are so cheap-no-
body bothers with making or
mending any more"
You figure q moment. Silk at
$1.05 q yard-Well' maybe she's
right. And yet-Do they really
cost only $7.98, those cheaply
bought, quickly discarded
dresses? Or do they cost much
more. more than we can safely
risk paying?
You remember the long dis
cussions your mother and aunt
had over the annual best black
taffeta. What a fuss oefore
they got it, what an adven-
ture while they were making
it. and what a thrill when it
was done. And everything
was like that, for them. NO
''ready-mades' in their lives
no easy flow Of luxuries.
They had to work for what
they had. You're sorry for
them thinking of their lack
Of conveniences But did they
really get less out of life-or
did they get much more?
"Ready-made" all life's that
nows Ready-made clothes,
Ready-made foods. Ready
made amusements. Ready
made ideas. Don't have to
bother to, make anything any
more. Life comes all put up

But what do we get out of

how much creative pride IS
left, when life comes ready

Yes, 7 know. We can't stop
the wheels Of progress. But Is
a ready.made life really pro-
gress? lAnd need we buy life
in a package, just because it
comes that way?
I know a woman who makes

wooden bowl.

there's the urge that lies be-

act. The creative urge. Go
down the scale of biology and
you'll find less and less of that
urge. Jelly fish create lloth-
ing-they drift with the tide
and let the salt current bring
them all they need. They lead
the perfect ready-made lives.
But when you come to man he
wants to make things-wants to
prove his manhood by making
things. Take away that crea-
tive urge, give him everything
in packages, and what have
you? The Jelly fish again.
But look at what all people

OF peace. After the war. the
British government ruthiessly
banned all airship construction
and development. A sudden
change of policy resulted In
the ordering Of the construc.
ton Of the R1OO and the
Re101. The results of the
flights Of the Graf Zeppelin
and the R-100 greatly encour-
aged the champions Of airship
development. The view began
to prevail that these airships
were safer than airplanes be-
cause Of greater stability and
general Steadiness.
At a recent imperial air con-
ference, as illustration, the fol
lowing was set on record:
"The imperial conferences
subcommittee was convinced
that the airship has great pos
s1bilities, and that the reliabil-
ity of that form of air trans
port has been seriously under
estimated owing to the effects
produced by a few disasters"
In face of the recent dis
aster, it can scarcely be
doubted that, in the construc-
ton of new dirigibles, hazards

increasingly clear that helium

A feeling of detection and
despondency has obsessed the
champions of airshipS since the
horrible disaster Of the R-1O1

passengers lost, the inadequacy

causes Of the disaster, the suspi-

the total destruction of such a
gigantic airship in which so
much money was invested: these
and other considerations have
exercised a depressing influence
upon the advocates of an ex-
tensiYe world program for diri-
gible construction.
It must be remembered, how
ever, that ghastly accidents, re-
sulting in the destruction of
dlrigibles, have occurred before.
These have happened in both
England and America.
The loss of the French Dix

the darkness, and it's fate has
not yet been ascertained. It
has been chalked up as one of
the mysterious tragedies of air

Britain to build another air

much from the operations and
flights of only one airship.
Two are needed for purposes Of
comparison.
The result of the World War

unfortunate. The dirigible had

# we follow the course pur-
sued by most visitors to- Cairo
we would go to the Pyramids,
the worlds oldest and greatest
monuments. A broad, fine
road runs to the west from
Cairo and the six miles are
quickly covered. For those who
wish to retain something Of
the atmosphere which the -au-
tomobile takes away from the
pyramids, horses may be OBJ
tanned to go over the fertile
plain. And there is even a
tramway running from the Gen.
ter of the city. So It is easy
enough to get there.
IF you wish to see q sight
which will linger forever after
in your memory, arrange to
be at the pyramids for the
sunset. There is nothing to
equal it for brilliancy. Fine
particles Of dust which seem
to be suspended in air, and
through which the suns rays
are reflected, make q sight
well worth going far to see.
The Pyramid Of Khufu Is
the largest. It covers 13 acres
and more than 100000 cubic
yards Of materials were used
in building it. Herodotus de-
clared that it took 100000 men
20 years to build it, and some
idea of the labor involved may
be cleaned when you know
that this pyramid contains g..
100000 blocks Of stone, the
average weight Of each block
being two and @ half tons.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by DIR. Louis E. Bisch-I

10y LA AVGAS 49,"
Every few years there is an
epidemic of infantile paralysis.
The worst in New York oc-
Cured in 1907, when there
were about 5000 cases. Iso-
lated cases occur every now
and then and in most any
part of the country.
Because it is the most com"
mon form Of paralysis to at
tack young children, the term
''infantile paralysis" has been
coined for it. More scientifically
speaking it is known as "acute
poliomyelitis" because it causes
inflammatory processes In the
gray matter of the spinal cord,
that is, in that part of the
cord which contains the nerve
cells of locomotion.
The disease may attack one
or more extremities, but the
usual effect is that one Of the
lower limbs become affected.
OF $50 cases, not occurring in
an epidemic, 229 resulted in
paralysis of one lower limb.
The next 176 cases showed
paralysis of both lower limbs.
In 70 cases the patients were
paralyzed in both arms and
legs.
The disease attacks children
UP to 5 years of age, as a rule.
The second year Of life seems
to be a more favorable soil for
the disorder than the first or
third years. Other ages, how
ever, are not immune to its
ravageS.
The onset of infantile palsy
is sudden and with fever. The
temperature in some cases may
rise to 1O3 or 104. Prostra-
ton is likely to be marked al.
though there are very mild
cases where this symptom o.
not specially noticeable.

THREE-MINUTE JOURNEYS

The Great Pyramid is 481 feet
high and 755 feet on the sides,
due Of course to it's shape. No
matter what forward strides are
made in the erection Of 80
story buildings in our modern
civilization, the engineering feat
Of building the pyramid will
ever remain a marvel. The
engineer of today, with his pre-
else instruments, would have
reason to feel proud Of the ac-
curacy with which these blocks
are Joined.
An ascent to the top Of the
pyramid, which requires the aid
of Arab helpers to make. is well
worth while because of the view
obtained.
The interior of the pyramid
Is not very interesting and be-
sides the air is so foul and the
heat so intense that one Is glad
to escape to the open again.
The kings chamber was looted
long, long ago, so that now
nothing remains to see except
a lidleSs Sarcophagus. Likewise
the casing of gorgeous white
limestone which covered the ex-
terror was stripped long ago
and taken to Cairo, where the
material was used to build
many Of the mosques. This
same thing has happened to all
of the pyramids except a small
area near the top of the sec

enough to give the visitor an
