SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch-

Just what constitutes delin-
quency is not always easy to
establish.
Certainly a person who Of
fends against the law or society
hut once should not be classed
as a true delinquent.
Only those VINO after repeated
opportunity to reform and after
a real chance to alter their mode
of living and behavior, still re-
main as before, should be looked
upon as hopeless.
A true delinquent Is a person
who does not react in harmony
with the moral standards under
which he lives and who cannot
be made to practice them, either
by punishment, precept or edu-
cation.
First there is primary delin-
quency.
This term embraces all cases
Of delinquency, whether in chill
dren or in adults, in which no
intellectual deficiency can be
demonstrated by mental tests
or other forms of examination.
Among such primary cases
are those who deliberately set
out upon a career Of crime.
However, simply because we
cannot discover defects in these
primary types Of moral devia-
tion is no reason for believing
that there may not be some
very adequate and responsible
cause behind their misdeedS
which defieS detection but
which some day may be
brought to light.
It Is particularly these pri-
mary cases that demand long,
expert and paintaking analysis
Of the offenders personality.

The approximate cost Of this

The employment agencies
only get 50 for finding a posi-

Is enough to pay for a position.
Rents, should think, are as

satisfactory all round.
For one thing the lady
wouldn't so readily discharge a

A Fervent Plea on Behalf
Of Internationalism


Editor, Washington Times:
Repeated recrudescence Of
war rumors and professional
propaganda for perpetual war
preparedness call for conSidera-
ton Of world conditions. Twelve
years ago we, with our allies,
were victorious in . murderouS
"war to end war" and to make
this globe "safe for democracy"
Less than two years ago we
signed a pact to "outlaw war"
A year ago President Hoover
put his signature to a document
by which the United States be-
comes a member Of the Inter
national Court Of Justice; this
however. is still unratified by
our Senators, some of whom at
this stage of world history
proudly avow themselves "iSola-
tioniStS," and Shiver and shake
in fear Of that venerable buga-
boo, "entangling alliances"
Since Washington coupled
those words considerable water
has passed over the political
mill! A thousand things have
revolutionized the world! Steam.
ships, railroads, telegraphs,
telephones, airplanes, poison
gases, high explosives, COM
merce, and capitalism are daily
reminding us that physically, at
least, we are living in a new
world. New occasions teach
new duties! Time makes
ancient good uncouth!" and
Washington, alive today, would
be the first to realize that in
this Twentieth Century, in this
new world, isolation is no
longer desirable, or even pos
Sible.
He would know that, as per-
sonal duels over private quarrels
have been abandoned by re-
course to justice rather than
force, so it is ten-fold more i'm
perative today for international
difficulties to be similarly set
tied. He would surely accept
Grants dictum that nothing
has ever been settled by war
that could not have been set
tied without it." -. >,
Thereupon he would gladly
welcome those institutions, the
international Court Of Justice
and the League of Nations, both
the result of American initia-
tive. He would know that TAX

stitutions would be diSentang-

He would most powerfully
echo the poets line:
