Owen d. Young and 1892

What would it mean if Owen D. Young we're nom
mated by the Democrats? What the chances of
his being nominated? These questions discussed
with ucidity by Charles Merz in Harpers Magazine.
Young's availability is gilt edge He has the per-
feet tradition-a poor boy who succeeded-and the
press has given this full play. He personally is i'm
pressive, charming and attractive. He knows,
over how to capitalize this through timely gestures
designed to intrigue the public.
He comes from New York state, which has the
greatest number of delegates to the national nom-
mating convention and the largest number of votes
in the electoral college. He is great business man
and an intellectual liberal, all in one.
His attitude on prohibition is of the most perfect
on the -hand-and- on otherhand variety In
popular imagination he is identified more thoroughly
with an enlightened interest in foreign affairs than
any other prominent American save Newton D. Baker
Probably no other potential candidate has many
aces of this sort up his sleeves Only Dwight Morrow
has approached Young in the newspaper lore of the
past decade. He has enjoyed almost the same lavish
attention as created the myth Of the Great Engineer
and Humanitarian from 1915 to 1928.
He got under full steam with the Dawes plan and
has travelled at top clip since the Young plan
devised During the last two years he has appeared
in the New York Times on the average of three times
a week.
The one important obstacle to YounG'S oleay sail
ing is the opposition of the progresSves who see in
young the incarnation of the power trust But pro-
gressyes rareley nominate candidates the presi-
dency. Merz believes that the prospect Of Young's
nomination depends great deal on the condition
Of business In the next year.
If the depression continues. and if Hoovers tariff
and stabiliaton policies remain or are intensified
there is good chance that Young will be the stand
ard bearer of the party associated in legend with the
great liberal of Monticello.
If Hoover is renominated and Young is the can
ddate of the Democrats, neither power nor prohi-
bton is likely TO be the main ISSUE The latter will
be the liberalization of trade and credit especially
through"h reduction of tariff walls and ending the
policy of national isolation
Merz believes that the conditions which woaid
produce the nomination of Young would also lead
lathe abandonment of the Republican party d, big

Killing the Goose

When the very desperate members of the Board
OF Trade, almost out Of business result Of farm
board activities, demand a slash in wages for county
employees, they merely kill the goose whose eggs per-
mitted them to live
Cutting wages is the best way to bring even
greater depression and more unemployment.
The less that workers have to spend the fewer
other workers be employed And the less wheat
and corn can be sold by the brokers.
Before wages cut to fit the tax pocketbook
to its contents, the brokers should demand a slash
in rates Of telegraph and telephone lines. their mes
sengers boys of other days.
1t is now matter of record that the high wages
paid to telephone official are given for no service
whatever He is not needed so it is boasted But the
brokers pay part of the huge annual salary that
is given him.
The money spent wires goes to other cites.
The money paid to public employees, and those who
do-actual work not overpaid, although of
the elected officials may be worth much less than
they receive, spent here and helps to keep others
employed
The place to cut is not in wage checks, but in
that thing called overhead and tribute to public
utilities
Wage cutting very easily turn depression into
disaster.

No doubt you play golf or bill

Shotgun Gardens

Married men employees of Henry Ford must in the
future have vegetable gardens they will lose their
jobs If they do not have yards the company will
provide garden plots. If the do not know how
to raise vegetables they will be taught by specialists
Whether or not the men want to have vegetable
gardens does not to have entered at all into
MIR. Fords calculations.
Contact with the soil doubtless will be good for
the men who toll in Mr. Ford's mass production
plants Making things grow might fill void in
their lives particularly if Mr. Ford will permit them
to grow well cabbages although that would
be counter to his utilitarian ideas.
Vegetable gardens also might keep the men occu-
pied at useful tasks when Mr. Fords plants are
closed down or operating at part time. Already Mr..
Ford has enjoined thrift upon his workers, and he
regulates their morals SO what could be better than
a bank account, good habits, vegetable garden-and
a job with Mr.. Ford?
The sage of Dearborn frequently has expressed his
ideas about the production of food 1t is shamefuly
wasteful in his opinion, because the farmer need
spend only part of his time in tending his fields.
Mr. Ford has suggested that the farmers would
be better occupied if they used their spare time in
making bolts and nuts and other mechanical parts
for mapufacturers
Their FARMS of course would be completely mech
anlZeQ, giving Cnem more CHle LOT luuuSCIldl WOIK
Once Mr. Ford suggested mechanical COWS, to pro-
duce milk alphabetically because raising, feeding and
milking cows is wastefull economically.
But what we wonder, will become of those who
grow food if Mr.. Ford's ideas take root did his
high-wage short-week theories? And how will those
who have grown, processed and purveyed foods be
able to buy Mr.. Fords automobiles?
And what of the division of labor? The Wiscon-
sin farmer can make excellent cheese, but would
have trouble building auto, just Mr.. Ford's me-
chanic gardener might have difficulty in becoming
a cheese maker.
The man who grows wheat has neither coal nor
iron other materials to in constructing auto
but he can raise grain for bread to much better adj
vantage than the factory worker Shouldn't we con-
tnue to trade bread and cheese for automobiles?
Our civilization is organized on the theory that
trade fourshes and both profit when the shoemaker
sticks to his last and the farmer to his pillow.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

Gated and technical that it is of
little value to the average reader.
In ordinary people who live on
diets quite deficient in vitamin B
there will develop general weakness,
loss of appetite, disturbance of the
tissues generally and apparently a
lowered resistance to infection.
If the vitamin B deficiency be-
comes exceedingly great, serious
nervous symptoms result, which
have given to this vitamin the name
of anti-neuritic vitamin. Much adj
ditional study has been made, how
ever, on the other symptoms that
have been mentioned.
The conspicuous effect of a de-
f1c1ency of vitamin B is a sudden
loss of appetite. Coincident with
any loss of appetite, there is a loss
of weight and an interference with
nutrition.
The question of the palatability
of food is apparently not involved,
because the feeding of yitamin B
restores appetite regardless of the
fact that the same type of food is
being fed.

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

A FTER hearing from bachelor that 80 per cent
N of our divorce is the result of the aliony evil
pick up another letter from gentleman who says:
Ninety per cent of all divorces are due to the
ShalowneSS selshness dictatoral attitude and gen.
eral unfairneSs OF women. None of them can carry
on sensible debate, none can reason from the alb
stract If mothers only would start training their
girls they could them to be less primitive more
kindly, more like their sons
Now, it may be that he is right. Yet if all these
things be true, then surely the men have failed
Signally in their duty to the family and the race.
Is not father equally responsible with the moth
er for his daughters training? If there is the grave
danger that girls are growing up with these evil
and sord tendencies is it not clear that the father
should SET himself to eliminate them?
Can he look on calmly and see his child, even
though she Is a girl, unhindered in her mistaken
ways? Especially If he has the good Of future genera
tons at heart?
NTHAT men must do, if my correspondent is cor
w rect what sternest duty demands that they
do in the face of such serious situation is to take
over the rearing of the children for decade at least
For it is undoubtedly not reason from the alb
stract to hope that mothers with such characteristics
as shallowness selshness unfairness can ever send
sons and daughters into life without them.
There is no logic in the belief that shallow wom-
an can bring up without help boy who will be q
deep and studiouS individual And debate need
be INDUCED in over the obvious fact that if women
are such fools. the must trairf the children in
the future II we hope to avoid having more fools.

Hence it is being we'll accepted
that one of the important functions
of vitamin B is to stimulate the ap-
petite. Apparently it is also related
to stimulation of the Secreting
functions of the stomach and intes-
tines and to the power of the stom-
ach and intestines to move the food
along.
Failure of the motor functions of
the stomach and intestines results
in all sorts OF serious reactions.
Hence, it is important that a suff1-
Gent amount of vitamin B be taken
to prevent all of the conditions that
can occur from such failure.
AS with vitamin A, there seems
to be also relationship of vitamin
B to general body conditions, in
Guiding proper metabolism or carry
ing on of the chemistry of the body,
reproduction, and ability to provide
the infant with milk.
The infant gets its vitamin B
through the mothers milk, but in
vestigators are convinced that the
amount it gets may not always be
sufficient for its needs.

Golfer Belts

EXPERIMENTS have shown that
II if one fourth-thousandth of an
ounce Of thyroXin is fed to q man,
it will increase the rate at which
oxidation goes on in his body by
about 2 per cent for a period last
ing twenty-four hours.
Failure of the thyroid to function
properly throws the body out of bal
ance. The thyroid can cause diff
Guilty in two ways. 1t can either
secrete thyroxin too rapidly or too
slowly.
An overabundance of thyroxin,
known as hyperthyrodism, results
in general speeding up of bodily
activities. The heart beat is in
creased and the body temperature
raised.
An insufficiency Of thyroxin,
known as hypothryroidism, has just
the opposite effects. The heart is
slowed down. Bodily processes be-
come sluggish.
An enlargement of the thyroid
gland is known as simple or en-
demic goiter. Studies have shown
that the lack of sufficient iodine in
the diet is the cause of this condi-
ton.
Certain regions of the world are
known today as "goiter BELTS" be-
cause this type o. goiter is common
in them, due to the lack of iodine
salts in the water and soil. The
Great Lakes region constitutes such
a goiter belt.
The enlargement of the thyroid
gland seems to be the result of
overwork upon the part of the
gland.
Apparently the gland attempts to
manufacture the usual amount of
thyroxin despite the fact that the
diet is not furnishing the amount
of iodine required for such manu-
facture.

ANNIVERSARY
SEE GREEK REPUBLIC
Aug. rs.

ON Aug. Is, 1917, Premier veni-
" zelos of Greece made a def
mite statement regarding the pos
sibility of a Greek republic in the
chamber of deputies at Athens.
Premier Venizelos declared that
he often had told the former King
Constantine that the nations of the
world gradually were abolishing
kingships and that it depended upon
the existing kings themselves to
hasten or postpone this inevitable
consummation.
The government, nevertheless, |"
said the premier, lis of the opinion
that it is our duty to give the mon
archy another trial.
This, lof course, is a final trial.
but am sure that the Greek people
and the coming constituent assem-
bly, will be disposed to render pos
sible the continuation of our pres
ent system of democracy presided
over by a king"
This statement was received with
prolonged applause as clearly de-
filming the governments position on
the recent tendency toward q

Addison and bow the knee to
Thomas Darlington Macauley.
Yet these men and later disciples
are the very ones who betrayed the
language to the Goths and Franks
and possibly the Vandals. They set
down thoughts in phrases so ca
denced and ornamental that natu-

You can not expect people to go

Thyroid Is Small

IN man, the thyroid is a small
= gland which weighs less than an
ounce-from 20 to 25 grams in the
metric system. Bl'' this tiny gland
is one of the chief regulators of the
human body, controlling in large
measure the rate of growth and the
process of nutrition.
The thyroid is located in the
neck. 1t consists of two lobes at
tached to the sides of the lower
portion of the larynx. The two
lobes are connected by a narrow
band across the midline.
The size of the thyroid varies with
different individuals, and as rule
is larger in proportion to body
weight in women than in men.
The thyroid gland manufactures
a secretion of hormone known as
thyroxin. Thyroxin first was iso-
lated by the biochemist, Kendall. 1t
contains about 60 per cent iodine.
Chemists since have succeeded in

chemical laboratory.
Recent experiments would seem
to indicate that the synthetic thy
roxin has all the properties and eff
fects Of the thyroxin which is Sc
creted normally by the thyroid
gland.
This thyroxin is apparently the
regulator of the human engine, con-
trolling the rate at which oxidation
goes on in the body, that is, the
rate at which energy is generated
and used within the body.
But while thyroxin plays so i'm
portant' a role in the functions of
the human body, it is surprising to
find out how little is required to do
the trick.
y Il
Normally, only tiny trace of
thyroxin is present in the human
body, usually about one-fifth of a
grain. CA grain is little less than
fourth hundredth of an ounce)

One may go bit further than Merz in specula-
ton as to the consequences of Young's nomination
Dawes said that Young deserved most of the credit
for the Dawes plan, but the Republicans would
hasten to point out that Young never has told how
much the Young plan owed to his brilliant young
lieutenant, David Sarnof.
IT Young were elected and restored prosperity it
would give American capitalism tremendous new
grip on life If he failed it would be a great-per-
haps decisive-blow to at least the older capitalism
Much of the responsibility for the present debace
Is laid to Hoover personally. If another great bust
ness man from another party also fell down. it
would depersonalize the resentment and turn the
popular rage against the system.
This suggests another important possibility. If
Young failed to function as an economic magician
and popular resentment threatened to assume such
proportions as to bring violence and revolt then
Young would be almost ideal figure around whom
the barons of the old order could rally to stage
quasi-Fascist coup and proclaim an American bust
ness dictatorship.
