ANY CHILD IS SUBJECT
TO RHEUMATIC ATTACK
M Sneca Tvne Of Child Is More Predisposed to Attack
Than Anv Other Though Nordcs Are Less Excabe

It occurred to DR.. j. G. Hawksley
to investigate scientifically the value
Of these ideas. Almost 1000 children
in two different institutions were
classified first on an anthropological
basis. They were studied as to the
incidence of rheumatism and chorea,
and as to the incidence Of other dis
eases. A special investigation was
made as to the occurrence OF grow
ing pains. DR.. Hawksley Is con-
vinced, as q result Of his studies, that
there is not an increased tendency
in Nordic children to acute rheuma-
tism or chorea; in fact, he finds that,
growing pains are more likely to oe
found in children of the darker types
than in the Nordic types
Various investigators have tried to
find the exact cause OF growing pains.
One series of observers believes that
the growing pains are due to the de-
yelopment Of acidosis in children OF
lively type who use up their BODY
sugar when called on for extra en-
ergy. On the other hand, there Is
also some evidence that the Nordic
type OF child is much less excitable.

races. and is slower to react to grow
ing pains or pains of a similar char
acter than are the darker children.

situation prevails. The dance is over
and the piper is exacting payment.
Chicagos situation IS well known.
Only recently the "ghost" walked for
Windy City school teachers, payless
for months. It was necessary to bor-
row money to make the payment.
Philadelphia, third city In the na-
ton, is in much the same plight. 1t
is borrowing money to meet its pay
rolls. The city's credit still is good
but it will not be much longer.
A curious factor in the whole situa-
ton is that the voters have been ur,-
willing, in many places, to apply the
obvious remedy. They have sought
to shift the tax burden rather than
reduce it. The subterfuge hasn't
worked very we'll, for 1t is as hard
for the average person to escape
taxes as to escape a guilty con-
science. ...
High taxes impose a burden on
business and frequently contribute to
those depressing statistics relating tc
commercial and industrial mortality.
The more prosperous organizations
are, Of course, able to meet the strain,
but to others the tax bill frequently
is the last straw.
The most pernicious effect, how
ever, usually is to throttle home
building and homecoming. Prudent
persons, thinking Of buying or build
ing home, frequently are dismayed
by the tax burden which they would
assume. That the renter pays taxes
the same as the home owner Is be-
side the point. The psychological ef-
feet is there.
And, for that matter. high taxes
may prevent people from saving
enough to think Of owning their own
home.
To a good many Of us who have ex.
pected this or that public service, II
is going to. be q bitter pill to swallow
but we shall do it-either from choice
or necessity. The activities and re-
sponsibilities Of government are 60

areas where taxes are unpaid. It may

New York, Nov. 14.-F1fteen years
ago, a group Of earnest young thca-
ter folk fixed up an old warehouse
at the end Of a wharf in Province
town, Mass, and this became the or
iginal, and fairly historic, Province
town Theater.
When the midsummer sun was
beating against the Cape, q youth Of
a arrived quietly after q year Of
study in Professor Bakers "47 Work

given way while he was working as
reporter on q paper at New Lon

up while on q gold hunt in Hondu-

his health, and q vagabond life had
finished the work. He had spent

Pro1ram Needed in Congress


That the new political lineup inl
congress places q huge responsibility
on the Democratic party goes with
out saying. The way in which the
responsibility is met may we'll play
a large part in determining the issue
of tho next presidential election.
One thing seems obvious. There is
an imperative need for logical, defi-
mite program by the party which now
holds q majority In the House OF Req
resentatives. A policy Of drifting and
of sniping at administration meas
ures simply for the sake Of raising a
row will not do the country any good
nor, In case 1t interests any one,
is it apt to do the party that adopts
it any good.
The coming session promises to be
! one Of the most interesting in many
years.. The nation will wait eagerly
to see what the Democrats will do
with their newly found power.

Whatever merits his brothers case

ison. Jr., is doing an admirable thing
in refusing to join him in contest
of his fathers will.
Possibly he feels that it Is inher-
itance enough to bear both the Chris

that by dragging the will into a court
contest he would do more damage to
his own and his family's name and

compensated for by any number OF
millions In money.

The Effect of Taxes

In al the discussion Of high taxes
which has swept this state and the
country at large recently. there has
been too little said Of the effect which
high taxes have upon the individual
and his interests.
From their nature taxes are, OF
course, a public problem and a pub
lie remedy is necessary. Neverthe-
less, they have q direct application
to every man, woman and child In
the nation. They affect the future
as well as the present-and the past
is comparatively well known.
Strangely enough, the effect Of high
taxation has been, in some places, TO
reduce education and other public
services which have been organized
on an elaborate scale. Necessity,
rather than desire, forced the change,
for when taxes get too high people
are either unable to pay them or re-
fuse to do 50 and the services stop
Had they been planned on . more
economical basis they might have
been able to continue.
At least two state legislatures are
in special session now struggling witt
the tax question. In Illinois the out
look is dark and gloomy. doverno
Emmerson blames the public's refusa
to approve an amendment to the con
stitution which he sponsored for
part of the trouble. He asserts tina
his plan would have helped adtus
the tax burden.

There are many widely-held opin-
ions concerning health that are mere
notions, and others have been held
and believed 50 long and by so many
different types Of people that tney
are almost accepted as truth.
There is one opinion to the effect
that children Of certain types are
much more predsposed to rheumatic
attacks than ere others.
One group Of writer's insists that
blond haired. blue-eyed children with
delicate skin and pink cheeks are
particularly affected; another group
insists that brunei children with dark
hair and eyes, long eyelashes. white
skin and good compilations are usu-
ally affected: the third group insists
that red-haired and freckled chill
dren are the ones most likely to oe
attacked. Obviously this includes
practically all Of the children there
are. and indicates that there is some.
thing wrong with the whole idea.
The first type Of child IS the Nor
die, the second Is the 1berian or Med
iterranean child, and red-haired and
freckled children can be found II
every type or race Of people.
