trolling the spleen are stimulated

DR.. Joseph Bancroft Of the
Physiological Laboratory of Cam
bridge university in England recent
ly has supplemented his OBJ
servations. That the emotions
definitely affect the size of the
spleen was revealed in the follow"
ing simple experiment.
A dog named Dinple had de-
veloped the habit of chasing any
cat in the neighborhood. If the
dog lay on a table and a buster
was held in front of its nose the
spleen remained unaltered-
If the first buster was removed
and another which had been in a
basket with a cat was held in front
of the dogs nose, the spleen Of
Dimple would contract appreciably.
This was observable even though
none of the muscles Of the dog
moved.
Then if cat in the next room
"meWed" the dogs ears would be
pricked up, its head and eyes would
move and the spleen would con-
tract still further.

independence Is Gone

FIFTY or seventy-five years ago,
L. the average young mans am
bition was to make something Of
himself, and he got it from his
parents, teachers, and neighbors.
Today, his ambition is to make
something off the other fellow, and
he gets it from exactly the same
source.
That, more than anything else Is
responsible for Capitalization both
in business and government.
We call the thing cooperation,
and We exalt it, on the theory that
it provides safety through size and
numbers.
That was not the way our grand
fathers went at it.
They priced independence more
than anything else; not in
dependence in a narrow political
sense, but independence to gamble
with life, to play the game like
men, with each betting on his own
character and ability.
They hesitated to surrender per-
sonal liberty in any form, to be
tempted by the added security
which combination in trade or cen
tralized government seemed to
provide.

Warden Lawes' Anniversary

All friends of q civilized system of dealing with
oonv5cts will offer hearty fluctuations TO Warden
evils z. rawes upon the twenty-hfth anniversary OF
his entry into the career of a prison officer.
Warden Lawes began his work in this field as
jard in Auburn prison. From that day to this ne mas
hee associated actively with practical prison ADMIN
istration. The usual result Of such career Is 10

All concern with the human problems OF his jop

For Roma strange reason Warden LaWes appears
n have escaued all this He has proved successful
administrator but this talent has not been developed
at the expense of his humanity. He has been able
10 look upon prison as institution responsible 1of
the lives and future careers Of his felow-men
The personalities Of his convcts loom larger III
his interests than new methods of locking cells.
Few men in our day have written or lectured
more effectively against our existing prison saVagery
He has gained just reputation as one OF the lore
most opponents Of the death penalty Ills recent
report completely exposed the vain pretense OF the
Baunes laws to capturing and segregating our more
dangerous criminals.
He writes with a remarkable mixture OF common
sense enlightenment and practically. His Life and
heath in Sing Sing" is one of the most effective IN
dctn1ents of our prison system 1t gained IN e1ece
from the very moderation of tone with which ne
reertlessy exposed the futile brutality OF the whole
procedure Of Furnishing criminals in stone fortresses
which turn them back upon society more emblttered
and more competent in crime
His work has carried special weight because the
rjblic accepts it as the honest opinions OF man
who has his feet on the ground and knows what ne Is
talking about He avoids the inevitable conventional
prejudice against the theorist who may possess La

Ideas About Spleen Nearly Correct

BODY would move and the spleen
would contract still further. If the
dog chased the cat even for d
quarter minute there would be still
more contraction.
One Of the Oldest stories in medi-
cine has to do with the great anato-
mist Hyrtl, who asked one of his
students about the function of the
spleen.
Il knew" said the student, "but I
forgot"
Unfortunate man." said Hyrtl,
you we're the only one who knew,
and now you have forgotten"
After the passage of almost 100
years the Psychologists have beg n
to find the answer. The spleen seems
to be largely concerned in controll-
ing the volume of blood circulating
in the body.
Upon the volume depends the
blood pressure and the general tone
of the body.
Now we can begin to understand
how person can get pale when he
gets angry, how he can get SO mad
he will faint away. And what made
the writer's Of hundreds OF years ago
associate the spleen with emotions.

Teach 1t to Children

kEOST of us think of centraliza-.
1VG ton as brought about by poll
ticians and of monopoly as the nat
lral by-product of modern business.
Most Of US would be quick to deny
that we had contributed to either
by word, thought or act.
ACCIDENTALLY, most of us condemn
the tendency and, practically, most
of US are alarmed by it.
But, when you get down to brass
tacks, there are very few OF us who
have not contributed to it in one
way or another.
How many parents are advising
their children to adopt independent
careers, to go out and make places
for themselves, to develop enter
prises which they can own and con-
troll? Some, perhaps, but not too
many.
Generally speaking, the boys and
the girls of this country are brought
up with the idea of getting a job,
and connecting with a pay roll.
What is more to the point, they
are brought up to regard a job with
the biggest concern as best.

Naval Expense Accounts

There is growing public criticism of the American
delegation at the London naval conference. Some
of it is deserved-such as that the blunder OF
proposing that the United States alone build new
capital ship and over the failure of the American
delegation program to conform to the Hoover reduc-
ton policy.
Much of the criticism, however, is undeserved
Such are the statements of prominent members OF
the senate and house naval affairs committees that
the American proposals would leave our navy pera-
nently inferior to the British. The to that
argument is that it is not true
But the strangest criticism of all is the attack on
the American delegation for spending its expense
allowance. The 100000 originally appropriated for
expenses is said to be almost gone, and another ap-
fearing that opponents in congress will try to make
political capital out of this need for more funds.
Either such fears far-fetched, or congress has
lost its sense of proportion.
Half million dollars for limitation conference
might seem like lot of money, but it looks rather
small compared with the billion dollars which the
navy department is said to contemplate spending in
its building program
No money is wasted in trying to get interna-
tional agreement to stop armament competition and
cut naval budgets To cripple the conference activities
of the American delegation by trying to save on the
expense appropriation would be most costly form
of economy.
Even if we were SO Stngy, we should not be SO
stupid as that.

REASON By Ff EESpfs

TT is unique for an individual to accomplish what
l. his country not accomplish, for instance
Senator Borahs pinch hitting for Uncle Sam by his
intervention when Russia threatened to execute those
rabbis, and when Uncle Sam could not lift his voice
on account of his failure to recognize the Soviet gov
eminent.
It reminds one of that other time when another in
dvidual was able to do what his country could not
do; We refer to our entrance into the World when
the government called for volunteers and only hand
full responded and then Theodore Roosevelt proposed
to raise and lead army and hundreds of thousands
volunteered to go with him.
THESE American churches are mistaken when
L they think it would be good thing for every
body in the United States to pray to the Lord to stop
Russia's church closing program.
In the first place such prayers usually are laid on
the table and in the second place our objection only
would spur Russia to greater excuses.
If on the other hand we should hold mass meet
ngs from Maine to California and indorse the Rus
sian plan and urge the Bolshevks to go the limit
against religion the chances arc that rather than
agree with us they would back up and restore freedom
OF worship.

aster OF our time was the japanese

sands of editorial writer's and other

Of sending obscene matter through the mails 1t has
been sorry procedure from the first.
Mrs. bennett originally convicted in federal
district court in Brooklyn and fined $780, Now the
federal circuit court Of appeals has freed her. No
retrial ordered, the high court holding case
had been made for submission to jury. The gov
eminent appeal to the supreme court if it wishes
but it is to be hoped the present regime in the de-
partment Of justice will have intelligence enough to
drop the whole thing.
Postal inspectors by writing letter to Mrs Den
nett to which the of mother" was signed
cttously succeeded in having one of the pamphlets
mailed to Virginia village. This the evidence
on which the government proceeded. When Mrs.
bennett came to trial, evidence calculated to show
that the pamphlet rather than being obscene, sought
to restrain obscenty, was excluded.
The pamphlet originally was written by Mrs Den
nett years ago to convey information to her two
young sons 1t came to the attention OF the Medical
Review Of Reviews and was reprinted. Subsequently,
many thousands OF copies were circulated by the
YIN C. A, Y. w. c. A, welfare organizations, health
departments physicians colleges and others
1t sought simply to explain the facts Of life in
a manner suitable for adolescentS. And it this
for which the postal censors resorted to fraud and
trickery to convict grandmother.
THE cid theory that sex matters should be left
to chance has changed greatly" said Judge Hand of
circuit court. 1T may be reasonably thought that
accurate information rather than mystery and curl
osity is better in the long and less likely to
casion lascivious thought than ignorance and
anxiety. -.
SIT hardly can be that, because of the risk Of
arousng impulses there should be no instruction
of the young in matters, and that the risk of
parting instruction outweighs the disadvantages of
leaving them to grope in mystery and morbid curl
osity and of requiring them to such inforrla
ton from iI-informed and often foul-lnnded COM
panions rather than from intelligent and high
minded sources
Enlightened opinion will agree with Judge Hand
as did his associates on the bench.
The country is indebted to Mrs bennett for writ
ing her pamphlet 1t is indebted doubly for develop
ments which have struck blow at stupid censorship
