GEORGE ELIOTs BIRTH
Nov. 22

ON Nov. %, 1919, Mary Ann
" Evans, who, under the pseu-
donym of George Eliot generally is
recognized as the foremost of En-
gish women novelists, was born at
Arbury, in Warwickshire, England,
a carpenters daughter.
Though she received a fine cul-
turaI education at Arbury, it was
not until the family removed to
Coventry that George, then q,
grew intellectually.
She began her literary career by
translating a Life of Jesus from the
German. and in 1851 became an
editor of the Westminster Review.
At about this time she made
the acquaintance of George Henry
Lewis, with whom she SUISSE
quently lived as a wife, though UNI
married.
1t was he who discovered her
talent for flctional work and who
encouraged her to write novels.
Beginning in 1859 with Adam
Bede, she wrote with increasing sue
cess The Mill on the Floss" 'Silas
Mariner" "Romola, 'Middlemarch7
and others.
Most of the characters In her
novels are said to be taken from her
own family and neighbors in Ar
bury

EICTION is fond of the story of
l. the little girl in the chorus who
suddenly is called upon to assume
the role of the star just thirty sec
onds before the performance is
scheduled to begin.
And. according to fiction, the lit
tie girl invariably scores triumph
and has her name put up in cleo
trio lights the next night.
The incident has its counterpart
in real life. Last minute substitu-
lions are not unusual in the theater,
and on very many occasions the re-
cruit does surprisingly well. Nerv-
BUSINESS and excitement are not at
all bad things to animate a player.
I know of one instance in which
a young actress came into role
for which she had the scantiest
preparation and went through the
entire performance without muh1ng
a line. It was miraculous. The next
night she was prompted ten or fif-
teen times. The miracle had worn

Rule by Fear

PACK of all the corruption looms
- the shadow of fear.
The effective way in which
gangland has been able to punish
those who offended it represents
too sharp a contrast to what the
law has been able to accomplish in
that direction for ordinary human
nature to misunderstood.
There are millions who could tell
something if they would, but who
actually are afraid to speak.
No matter how it can be ex-
planned or excused, the situation
amounts to neither more nor less
than conspiracy of silence.

Stand by the Children

About the only important development so far at
the White House conference on child health and pro-
lection is a rather underhand attempt by certain
higher-upS to destroy the federal chldrens bureau
Fortunately the rank and file of the conference dele
gates backed by national organizations of women labor
and social workers have shown that they will carry the
issue from the conference into congress- rather than
permit any crippling of the children's bureau.
The fact that the Hoover administration is lending
itself TO the semi-secret attempt to destroy the
effectiveness of the chidrens bureau is especially dis
heartening. The plan is to transfer the most i'm

Milk Sugar Has Few Advantages

Many Of the infant foods con-
tain maltese and dextrin, because
of special qualities which these
sugars are believed to possess. Dex-
trim is not fermented by most Of the
bacteria found in the intestines, but
it is converted to maltese by the
ferments that are normally present
in the intestines.
In infants that have diarrhea, it is
customary to use deXtrin, because it
is not likely to lead to fermentation
Dextrose can be given in
larger amounts than other sugars
and is, therefore, widely used IN
infant feeding. Mixtures of NAL
tose and dextrin vary from 30 per
cent maltese and 70 per cent deg
trim to go per cent maltese and
40 per cent dextrin.
Maltese is converted quickly in
the intestines into the sugar known
as dextroSe or glucose, in which
form it is absorbed rapidly; in
fact, dextroSe is the most quickly
absorbed of all sugars.
Because of its quick absorption
and the fact that fairly large
amounts may be added to the
food of the infant without the
danger of fermentation, mixtures
of maltese, dextrose and dextrin
are commonly used in infant
foods.
There are, of course, many
other forms of sugar that can be
supplied to infants to provide them
with energy. All of the fruits con-
tain sugars, chiefly dextrose, but
this does not possess any special adj
vantage over other forms of sugar.
Whenever an excessive amount of
sugar is fed to an infant, fermen-
tation with the formation of gas,
takes place and the infant is
likely to develop diarrhea.

scored a glorious and a peculiarly
individual success.
I never heard a broadcast like it..
Whether by artifice or natural in
heritance, McNalty throughout the
afternoon played the role of the av-
erage spectator. He pretended to
no more than working knowledge
of the game.
He made a great many mistakes,
and at times he grew very confused.
But when he was puzzled as to just
what had occurred he said precisely
that.
Neither have I heard franker
presentation of the psychology of an
eager spectator who may not know
much about football, but knows
what he likes.

Confession of Collapse

4 TTORNEY- GENERAL MITCH
L n ELL announces that the fed
eral government is mobilizing its
forces to fight the racket, especially
in Chicago.
The district attorney of New York
calls in committee of forty citi-
zens not only to aid and assist in
a drive against racketeering, but to
help formulate a program.
The Chicago Chamber of Com
merce has provided a war chest of
$5,OO0,O00, to be administered by the
Secret Six"
How is one to interpret such &C
tivity, save as an open confession
that the usual methods of meeting
crime have collapsed?

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

More than other sugars, the milk
sugar tends to produce acidity in
the excretions and with the posi-
bility of irritation of the skin. In
most babies, milk sugar seems to
be more laxative than other sugars.
Cane sugar, which is the ordinary
sugar used on the table by the rest
of the family, has the same value in
nutrition as does milk sugar.
1t is somewhat more quickly
digested, but it is not as laxative
and may be fed with safety in larger
amounts, particularly to infants
that have digestive disturbances.
1t is, as has been mentioned,
somewhat sweeter than the milk
sugar.

No Action Yet

Despite the fact that Governor Leslie
verbally spanked the state Republican chair
man in public and joined with Democratic
Chairman Peters in the suggestion that the
reapportionment of congressional districts
be settled, if possible in advance of the legis-
lature; no action has been taken.
The offer of Chairman Peters was most
constructive for expediting the affairs Of the
lawmakers.
Politics has always entered in the carving
of the state into political divisions. Petty
minds always believe that they can get an
advantage by fixing the limits in manner
that win insure more members of the ma
tional body. 1t is a matter over which the
lawmakers can easily quarrel.
Peters proposed, and the Governor APP
proved, that this matter be threshed out in
advance.
1t is possible that Rogers was the wiser
politically, for if the legislature gets into a
bitter quarrel over this matter it will have
no time for other things.
The Democrats have pledged certain
program Of legislation, which, if carried out,
might be embarrassing to the Republican adj
ministration.
The old age pension plan, fostered by the
Eagles and part Of the Democratic platform,
has been denounced by the Governor in his
speeches.
The income tax was turned down by the
Republican convention and adopted by the
Democrats That might be a subject on which
certain members would be embarrassed The
people want this tax 1t will relieve the over
burdened home owner and farmer.
Let it be hoped that the Governor will fol
low his public warning to Chairman Rogers
with private plea for action He might act
on his own initiative, if he is sincere.

porant work OF the bureau, its health activities to
the public health service.
This joker put into the bills for revival of the
shepparl-Towner maternity and child care ap-
propati ons during the last session of congress- Now
the plan supported by the surgeon general and Sec
rotary of the Interior Wilbur-which is one more of
many black marks opposite the record of that officer
The child conference committee went so far in its
printed report as to suppress. the minority report of
Grace Abbott chief of the chidrens bureau Directing
to the plan to destroy the bureau; when this came
out the delegates rallied to Miss Abbott and twelve
national womens organizations protested against any
weakening Of the bureau.
ANY move to limit the field of usefulness of the
children's bureau would stir a hornets nest among
the women of the country" the spokesman of the
womens organizations warned the conference Of
cias There is no other subject which they feel
so keenly; even the subject of world peace there is
some division among them. But not the childrens
bureau"
The Scrpps-Howard newspapers share the high
opinion which the national organizations of women
social workers and labor hold for the chdrens bureau
and its chief Grace Abbott If there efficient
more fearless and more useful federal bureau, we
never heard of it. And we know of lot which could
profit by following it's example
We can think of no reason for the bureaucratic
hospitality of Miss Abbots work, except her habit of
going the bottom of problems and telling the truth
about conditions regardless of partisan political
sequences. No wonder they trying to block her
promotion as secretary of labor.
Here are some of the things she told this confer
ence:
Hundreds of thousands of American parents are
unable to provide for their own children without
sstance.
"An investigation by the federal trade commission
in 1926 showed that 81 per cent of the 24O0O0OO
families in the United tsates own only 10 per cent
of the wealth. while 10 per cent of the people own 80
per cent.
Using as a measuring rod the estimate Of $1,000
to ST 800 as the amount necessary to provide min
imum of health and decency for family of five we
find that large part of the population of the United
States does not live in health and decency.
LAS result of our lack of foresight, We are in the
midst of confusion We must resort to temporary ex
pedents and the children of the unemployed will pay
for it."
She proposed making unemployment legal Fea-
son for pension or other aid to families of the I'M
employed.
We wish there might be one person-of either sex
in the cabinet as fearless and efficient Grace Alb
bott Probably she hasn't chance of such promotion
But unless we are mistaken she has too much public
support to permit the proposed dismemberment of
the children's bureau. %.#
