TT shocks me to find that Calvin
4 sCoolidge suddenly has gone red.
This surprising development may
be attributed to the strain OF do
ing a daily column.
Even those more mature in the
trade have come upon days in
which they could not resist the
temptation to kick over the traces
and give every reader a good, swift
shock.
Mr.. Coolidge is, among other
things, human, and he has yielded
to the urge to set down words cal
culated to fetch bundles of letters
written around that familiar for
mula, "Please cancel my suhscrip-
ton"
Mr.. Coolidge's radical outburst
runs as follows: "If nnonopolies were
permitted a few men in key posi-
tions. they soon would control our
economic and probably our political
destinies. Open opportunity would
be gone. About the only remedy

If the child is receiving an in
sufficient amount of the right kind
Of protein in its diet, it grows slow
ly, it's muscles become habby, it is
likely to develop frequent infections
and to be anemic.
Moreover, in case it does not re-
ceive the right proteins for long
period of time, it begins to develop
swellings OF the eXtremitieS and
even pot belly, such as was char
acteristic of the children in Europe
who were starved during the World
war.
Just as soon as the proper pro-
teins are fed to such children, they
begin to develop rapidly, the swell
ings disappear, and they improve
tremendously.
There is relatively little danger of
feeding slight excesses of protein,
because the human body is able to
take care of slight excesses. How
ever, great exceSSeS lead to too
much concentration Of the blood

RavoIutioniSt

CALVIN COOLIDGE may wriggle
~ out from the wrath Of his con-
servative readers by defining "revo-
luton" a little more closely. 1t Is
possible for him to say that he does
not mean the word in the same
sense in which it is used by the
Communists.
He can Justify himself by pointing
out that many dissenters have en-
ployed the noun in the loosest sort
of way. After all, if the Democrats
had succeeded in capturing the
house it would have been IN a real
sense a revolution.
But Mr.. Coolidge must defend
himself against the charge OF advo-
eating change by force, because the
very condition which he outlines as
iustifying revolution is held by many
to exist already. :,

group of key men control our eco
nomic destinies and vastly influence

THE proteins contained in cows
/ milk, as well ss in human milk,
are divided into two main groups.
The more valuable of these two
proteins is the whey protein, be-
cause it represents more nearly the
composition of the kind of protein
in the body.
The other protein is casein, or
curd protein and, if this is given,
larger amounts must be fed than in
the case of whey protein to provide
for building up the same amount of
body protein.
AS contrast between the value
of human milk and cows milk, the
total protein in human milk is al
most 60 per cent whey protein,
whereas cows milk is only Is per
cent whey protein.

LAGERLOF'S BIRTH
Nov. 20

ON Nov. 20, 1858, Selma Lagerlof,
" eminent Swedish writer, was
born at Vermland, Sweden, the
daughter of a Swedish army officer.
While teaching ct high school
for girls, she wrote her first book,
COSTA Berling." Conl ing at a time
when Sweden was wea y of the pes
simistic realism which had been the
vogue, this book was "a refreshing
breath Of romance" and brought the
author quick success.
She wrote several books on her
travels through Europe and in 1902
was commissioned by the National
Teachers Association Of Sweden to
write a school textbook of the geo.
graphical peculiarities, and Of the
flora and fauna Of the various prov
inces of the country.
In 1909 the author was awarded
the Nobel prize for literature and
five years later was elected a mem
Der of the Swedish Academy, being
the first woman to have received
this honor.
Her books have been translated
into many languages.

neering Education Sought
by Society.
A PROJECT to increase the
N standard Of engineering educa-
ton to enable it to meet better the
tremendous demands which the
modern machine age are making
upon it, has been announced by II.
Hobart Porter, chairman OF the
Engineering Foundation.
The new project unites the en-
eineering profession, educational
institutions, and industrial organi-
cations.
Porter has appointed a research
committee on education, headed BY
DR.. Harvey N. Davis, president OF
Stevens Institute of Technology.
The objective of this committee,
according to Porter, will be to frame
a program to meet the demand OF
industry and public service for pro-
fessional education of high quality
AS a first step. the Engineering
Foundation has sought the views
of engineers, industrialists, and edu-
Gators upon the subject.
One of the first things which this
symposium brought out was that
technical schools were being handi-
capped by the fact that industries
are Turing away the best men from
their faculties
This was pointed out by General
r. I. Rees, assistant vice-president
of the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company and former
president of the Society for the Pro

A DANGEROUS Trend

NNR. THOMAS tosses in one idea
4VA that is worth more attention
than it has been getting.
"Is it not an anomaly" he asks,
"to say that there is suffering, not
because of shortage, but because of
over -production?"
We have talked about over-pro-
duction so much on the one hand
and about the possibility of provid-
ing more work by curtailing it on
the other, that we have developed a
very false perspective.
How can there be -produc-
ton when so many people lack the
bare necessities of civilized life, not
to mention its comforts and luXu-
ries?
The truth is, of course, that we
are thinking of production in
certain lines, but if we are not care
full, the thought may be applied in
a general sense and lead to a very
dangerous theory Of economics.

When President Hoover wednesday night spoke of
the evils of child labor he went to the bottom of one
of the most acute American problems, especially in
this time of wholesale adult unemployment.
Industry must not rob our children OF their
rghtful heritage" the President declared in opening
the White House conference on child health and pro-

Justify his being called an economic

said for John D. Rockefeller Jr., ano

I think that no one successfully
can deny that there are several So
called private individuals in Amer
ica whose economic and political
power overshadows that of any
twenty senators.
President Hoover gave aid and
comfort to this doctrine when he
sought to mitigate the distress OF
unemployment much less through
congressional action than in series
of conferences with captains of in

Letting in the Light

If there is any place where prudery and bgotry
have wrought havoc with human happiness and
brought in their wake untold misery and unnecessary
anguish it is with respect to the prevailing attitude
toward venereal diseases.
Absurd prudery has kept the public from knowing
anything authoritative about these plaques and from
learning how to protect itself from the ravages Even
the newspapers have refused to mention the names
of the two most common venereal diseases.
When President Eliot of Harvard some years back,
gave an address in which he called attention to the
serious dangers inherent in venereal disease the most
reputable paper in Boston deleted all reference to
the subject when it printed his address,
The first step in any campaign for public hygiene
must be full and free dissemination of the facts
The publicity given to tuberculosis campaigns and
the like has been indispensable to the success of the
medical assaults upon the white plague
Venreal disease ranks with tuberculosis and cancer
one of the three major scourges of the race today
But venereal disease is far easier to prevent and to
cure than either tuberculosis or cancer.
Indeed one may say that the very existence of
either syphilis or gonorrhea today, in the existing
state of medical Development may be blamed pri-
marily if not exclusively on our prudery
The price pay for drawing the veil of super
stition over this field of human Ills may be seen from
the facts that there are at least 100000 cases of
gonorrhea and 100000 cases of syphilis constantly
under care in the United States today.
This is costing us directly several hundred million
dollars year, to say nothing of the diverse and
tremendous indirect COSTS Even the insanity caused
by syphilis alone costs us $26O0OOO0 each year in
medical and institutional care
1t is about time that we lifted the lid of mystery
and absurd obscurantism in this field and informed
the public as clearly and decenty about these dis
eases as we already have done with respect to small
pox diphthera, and other diseases which we have
conquered.
If we do So we confidently may expect that these
deadly plaques will disappear entirely from civilized
communities in a generation

and approved in seven minutes.
The amendment was to that
section Of the regulations which
authorizes the construction of
eight-story apartment houses in
areas previously limited to six.
story buildings.
The change provides that the
amount of lot occupied should be
limited to about IS per cent Of
that permitted in six-story build

building area remained practically
the same, but provides for park.
ing on both sides of the taller
