Buy a Ticket

Cold winds and snow multiply the prob
lens Of the unemployed.
The comfortable and protected will feel
more comfortable in their souls and better
protected in their property if they give some
thought and something material to helping
those who are forced into idleness.
The best way to start is to buy ticket
for the Shortrdge- Cathedral football game
on Thanksgiving morning. All the money
received will be turned into the fund being
raised to create jobs for the jobess.
The one cure for unemployment is, of
course, more work and more jobs. Until So
ciety becomes sane enough to distribute the
work and the products of work on an equit
able basis, it will be necessary to turn to ex-
pedients. They help to lessen the suffering.
If you have not bought ticket for this
game, buy one whether you like football or
not Your dollar may help some one into a
job.

Character Needed

TITIES should strive to develop
~ individual characters, accord
ing to the reply received by the
committee from Gardner S. Rogers
of the civic development depart
ment of the United States Chamber
of Commerce.
"a city should develop in accord
ance with local conditions and local
or section traditions" he says.
"The elm, beautiful and charac-
teristic tree of New England cities,
would be inappropriate in any of the
gulf coast cities, and the palm
lined avenues of Los Angeles would
appear ridiculous if developed in
Chicago.
"a New York skyscraper does not
make a city of $1,000 population a
metropolis, and the building of a
Philadelphia tenement house in a
small town Injuries rather than i'm
proves the housing situation.
1.-THE folklore, sentiment, and
character Of any section of the
country is built around local condi-
lions and local attributes, and it is
these which should be utilized, re-
fined and perfected in the building
of city.
"I therefore commend for your
consideration the application of the
principles which business so
successfully has employed, namely.
to improve the character of the
municipal product as the best
means of increasing the production,
the enhancement Of property val
ues, and the realization of a more
successful life"

z AM inclined to doubt, therefore,
4 that conscious striving for
beauty in our cities will give us the
results We want and that you have
in mind" he writes to the commit
tee.
"I believe that If we plan our
cities so as to utilize the ground
most efficiently for structures and
for traffic, so as to give to our citi-
zens healthful conditions and con-
venient opportunities for recreation
the net result will be beautiful
cities.
European concepts of civic CEN
tiers, boulevards and plazas are not
adapted to American habits of liv-
ing. although they dominated the
national city planning conference
sixteen years ago.
THE universal use of auto trans
portation in this country makes pos
sible cities of much greater area in
proportion to population than the
older type of cities.
The conception on which Chicago
is working strikes me as being
sound, to have great concentric
circles of playground and FORGET re-
serve surrounding the city, giving
access to all to real outdoor life.
81 believe the point where archi-
tects and city planners should start
their work today is with the family
residential unit.
II believe this unit to be inefficient
and costly with relation to the needs
it serves and in comparison with
what could be developed with the
scientific and technical knowledge
we already have"

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE -
Mineral Salts in All Body Tissues

human body, analyses have beer
made of the various tissues which
the body contains.
Thus the bones consist chiefly OF
calcium, magnesium, and phoS-
pilates. The cells of the body gen
orally have potassium salts and
phosphates.
The various fluids in the body
such as the blood and bile and
the lymph, contain sodium salts,
chlorides and bicarbonates.
Oxygen is the important essential
constituent of the red coloring mat
ter of the blood, and iodine is nee
essary for proper activity of the
thyroid gland.
Sometimes the cells of the body
are modified in various ways, so
that the balance of relationship be-
tween the various salts in the blood
is disturbed.
If there is a sudden deficit of cal
cium salts in the blood, spasmodic
conditions develop. If there is a
decrease in the bicarbonates in the
body, acidosis follows.

according to Herbert u. Nelson of
Chicago, executive secretary Of the

Nelson is one Of a number asked
by the committee on city and re-
gional planning of the American IN
stitute of Architects to answer this
question: Can character and indi-
viduality of cities and regions be
attained consciously?
The committee has launched a
nationwide study ito promote bet

permanent human use as essential

Beauty, according to Nelson, IS a
by-products of good order, utility
and economy of design.
To support his theory, he calls at
tention to the fact that airplanes
are more beautiful today than they
we're ten years ago. This increase
in beauty, ne believes, grows out Of
more efficient design and not out
of any attempt to beautify the air
plane.

third as much mineral matter is also

Furthermore, there is a definite
relationship between the amount of
mineral material and the amount Of
water.
When there is a great loss of the
mineral matter occurring as a re-
suit of diet deficient in salt, or as
a result of starvation or prolonged
diarrhea, the body is unable to
maintain the proper amount Of
water content.
When a great amount Of mineral
matter is taken into the body, only
sufficient for the uses of the body
is retained, and the rest is then
passed out.
Sometimes it is necessary for the
body to give up a great deal of wa
ter to get rid Of an excess of salt
taken into the system. This is the
basis of action of various kinds OF
salts taken as catharticS.

a T the outset, it is useless to
N disguise the fact that Russia
opposes about every tradition, stand
ard, and ideal on which this republic
was founded.
But the same thing is true, or
largely true, of some other countries.
Communism per Sc does not justify
the refusal to recognize Russia. Even
its bitterest enemies admit as much.
That is why we made the alleged
responsibility" Of Soviet Russia
an excuse for not entering into
diplomatic relations.
She couldn't pay her debts, we
said, and wouldn't if she could; the
upheaval was little but one of those
waves Of excitability and emotional
ism which promise only destruction.
That tune did very well for five
or six years, but sort of lost its
punch after several counter revolts
had been put down and the Moscow
regime had shown an astonishing
capacity to survive.

CARNEGIE'S BIRTH

ON Nov. 25, 1885, Andrew Car

turer and philanthropist, was born
in Dunfermline, Fifeshire, Scot
land.
At Is he removed with his fam
lily to the United States, and set
tied in Pittsburgh. His first job, as
a weaver's assistant, Melted him 81
a week.
He later entered the employ OF
the Pennsylvania railroad, and adj
vanced until he became head Of the
Pittsburgh division of the road.
He joined Woodruff. the inventor
of the sleeping car, in organizing a
company, and thereby laid the foun-
dalton for his fortune. Subsequent
investments in oil lands helped in
crease his means.
After the Civil war, Carnegie de-
veloped various iron works at Pitts
burgh. He introduced into the
United States the BesSemer proc
ess of steel making in 1858, and a
few years later was principal owner
Of several large steel plants, which
were consolidated in 1899 in the
Carnegie Steel Company.
Two years later this company
was merged into the United States
Steel Corporation.
Carnegie then retired and devoted
himself to philanthropic activities.
He gave libraries to many towns and
cities in the United States and con-
tributed large sums to other bene-
factions. the total exceeding

Stain Gives His Version

MEANWHILE, Stain, who says
1VA that the world is guilty of libel
when it calls him Dictator" tells
the United Press that there is no
reason why the United States and
Russia should not enjoy closer
economic ties.
At the same time, he tells the
United Press some other things
which are not quite so satisfying.
For one, he regards the prospects
of world revolution still good, and,
though admitting the possibility of
Communism and capitalism living
side by side in amity, he does so in
such way as to create doubt Of his
enthusiasm over it.
For another, he asserts that Soviet
Russia is misunderstood badly on
the debt proposition, that she made
an offer to adjust it some years ago,
to which the United States gov
eminent has as yet made no reply.
The treasury department comes
back with a statement that while
such offer was made by certain
Russian officials, it never was put
in the proper form and, consequent
ly, could not be entertained.

Go to Other Extreme

ATOW, instead of being too weak
~ for companionship, we talk of
Russia as too strong.
Her alleged insolvency suddenly
has been supplanted by fear that
she will smother us with cheap
products.
So serious has this fear become
that the treasury department finds
it convenient to prepare a regula-
ton, which, if rigidly enforced,
would shrivel Russian trade.
One crowd declares that she al
ready is demoralizing our lumber,
coal, grain and other industries. An
other crowd declares that if we in
terfere, Russia will buy somewhere
else and we will lose a lot of money.
Amid all the furore, one can not
help wondering just what has be-
come of that awful menace, the
Eoap-box orator.
