Excellent Photographs
THE ninety-six full-page illustra

THE ninety-six full-page illustra-
l. tons are for the most part
photographs. AS Frary says of his
book in the preface, This book Is
the result of long cherished dream
Of visiting and photographing the
architectural creations of Thomas
Jefferson.
"A vacation season was dedicated
finally to the pilgrimage, which led
to many shrines attributed to JEFF
ferson's creative genius"
Frary, who has a considerable
reputation in the world of art for
his studies Of early American
architecture, showed himself true
artist in the use of his camera. His
photos are exceedingly beautiful
and tell more than a 1,0o0-page
textbook might reveal
Many buildings are reproduced in
their entirety. In addition, there
are many photos of details-a
porch, fireplace, a flight of stairs,
the corner Of a dining room, etc.
up to the close of the revolu-
tion," writes Frary, architecture in
the American colonies had not been
a profession, but a gentleman's
avocation.

not an essential, feature of a we'll
rounded education, and as a result
many of the great houses were de-
signed by the owners themselves.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE
Insulin Is Aid in Diabetes Treatment

tremendous number of people who,
because of illness of one type or
another, may want to gain weight
rapidly.
In some cases there is not suff1-
cient fat in the interior of the body
to support the organs properly.
Development of increased weight
in such individuals gives better sup
port to the organs and with better
support comes increased health.
Recently DR.. r. D. Metz has made
an investigation as to the manner in
which inSulin may be employed to
bring about increase in weight.
In cases in which it is most eff
fective, the glands of internal Sc
erection in the individual do not
seem to be acting properly.
The method involves injection in
to the body of small doses of in
sulin twice daily, the dose being
increased gradually according to
the condition of the patient.
The patient takes good diet dur
ing the course of the injections and
it is important to make certain
that he is receiving enough sugar
in the diet so that he may not de-

Thomas Jefferson Won Fame
for His Genius as an Archs-
tect.
THE Colonial father, famous In
j. the minds Of most people as
the founders of che American re-
public, possessed a genius which
went further than the boundaries Of
statecraft.
Some Of them showed a multi
plicity of virtues which reminds
one Of the noble spirits of the Re-
Nuisance or the ancient philoso-
Pliers of Greece.
Benjamin Franklin perhaps Is the
outstanding example Of his times.
TO his brilliance as a diplomat and
ms fervor as patriot, he added the
skill of an excellent writer, the
technique Of a good printer. the
genius Of an inventor, and the intel
lectual outlook of a scientist.

washington, it will be recalled,
was a surveyor, before he became
either a general or President. And
as the owner Of a great estate, he
naturally had a keen interest in
nature and in such applied sciences
as agriculture.

In hypoglycemia, the pulse be-

There is nervousness, hunger, and

Pinchot to Rescue

This state, and all other states, owes a
debt to Governor Clifford Pinchot for his
courage in attempting to rescue the confer
ence of Governors from becoming mere
social event.
Assigned to talk about trees and lumber
he announces that he will talk about utilities
and their control.
Pinchot is the most active and bitter an
tagonist against the greeds of public utilities
whose tax upon industry and living costs is
one of the great problems of the present day
How far this has contributed to depression
and unemployment is as yet unmeasured, but
it is very great.
The control of legislatures has been
brazen, especially in this state, while control
Of public commissions has been even more
brazen and open.
The question is not partisan. The control
has been exercised over both parties in vari-
Gus states The control has sent expens1-l
lobbies to legislatures and placed puppets in
the chairs of Governors.
True, the remarks of Pinchot may be IN
welcome to many of the other Governors who
understand how far they may be indebted to
these influences.
In this state, for example, there was the
sordid spectacle of the defeat of the holding
company measure in the last legislature by
members of both parties. There was the
more sordid spectacle of the passage of law
by forgery which the utility interests de-
manded as means of protecting themselves
against any possible operation of bus lines by
cities as a competitive weapon against
transportation monopoly.
Perhaps if Pinchot crashes the gate on
one live subject other Governors who are
free in other matters may follow his ex-
ample. There might even be comments on
sterilization of employment, insurance for
old age, prohibition and a few other mat
ters about which people are thinking, but on
which they are voiceless and often leader
less.

Fray'S New Book
THOMAS JEFFERsoNs interes,

THOMAS JEFFERSON'S interest
II IN things apart from politics
and statecraft are described in
Thomas Jefferson; Architect and
Builder" magnificent new book bv
l. 7. Frary, a member of the staff of
the Cleveland museum of art.
The book just has been published
by Garrett & Massie at $3.50. II
consists of 100 pages e4x12l and
contains ninety-Six full-page illus
trations.
Thomas Jefferson is best known
to the world as author Of the Dec
laration Of Independence, the
Statue Of Virginia for Religious
Freedom, and as third President
Of the United States" writes Frary.
ITO his neighbors of Virginia his
fame rests almost as solidly on the
genius he displayed as an architect.
and proud is the owner of an old
estate who can claim Jefferson as
designer of his buildings and per-
hapS Of the grounds by which they
are surrounded.
Monticello widely is known as
the creation of his fertile mind, but
comparatively few are aware Of the
other fine old Virginia mansions
that were designed by him, or of the
influence which he exerted on the
architecture, not only of his native
state, but of our country at large.
This influence is seen in the de-
sign of the Capitol and White House
at Washington; of the Capitol at
Richmond and the university of
Charlottesville; and of countless
colonnaded porticoes of the early
nineteenth century.
"Jefferson's enthusiasm for archi-
lecture of Rome gave powerful inn

Program of Sacrifice

ID USSIA'S attitude is more signif-
IN icant in what 1t promises for
the future than in the way it affects
present conditions.
The very sacrifices she is calling
on her own people to make suggest
not only q determination, but a
defniteness Of program, which the
rest of the world would do well not
to overlook.
Taking Sir Henri's word for, it,
Russia deliberately is going without
things TO modernize herself from an
industrial standpoint.
Such modernization would be
futile, however, unless it resulted
in better living conditions for her
people, which, of course, means in
creased consumption.

TITO put it another way, Russia is
l. going without today in order
to get more tomorrow.
Instead of measuring her efforts
by their immediate bearing on in
ternaational trade, we should pay
more attention to their probable
effect on it ten or fifteen years
hence.
If successful in her present plans,
Russia will become a greater COM
mercial country than she ever was.
She can not do that, however,
without becoming a greater con-
sumner as well as producer.
