AmDhibian War Tanks

Newspapers the other day printed
pictures OF new tank devised by
British army experts-an amphibian
creation, that can swim through the
water and use a formidable turret
gun while it sWinls, and that can
maintain 42-mile speed on dry land.
It is suggested that fleet of these
tanks would be extremely valuable
to general who was trying to land
troops on a shore held by enemy
forces.
Now the interesting thing, right
here, would be to find out what the
veterans Of England's Gallipoi expe-
dition OF 1915 might think about it.
For that expedition began with the
landing Of troops on beaches manned
by Turkish soldiers with machine
guns: and the landing resulted in
casualties so sickening that the EN-
tire expedition was cursed from the
start. How many lives might not a
few tanks of this kind have saved!
The course Of the whole war might
have been altered.

of technology and science needs care

operation; the old creed calls for ac-
ton with each man taking care Of
himself and the devil taking the hind
most.
Beyond question, individualism is
going to have to make some kind Of
compromise with the new conditions;
and the kind Of society in which our
children and our grandchildren will
live depends largely on how exten-
sive a compromise may be necessary.
All kinds of things are possible. The
conditions under which we live now
represent one extreme; Soviet Russia
represents the other. The America
of the future will lie somwhere in
between.
We hope that it will lie somewhere
near its present position; when we
get depressed we fear that perhaps it
will lie uncomfoztably far toward the
other end; and meanwhile we fail
utterly to realize that it will chiefly
depend on the courage and intelli-
gence with which we ourselves recog-
nize the choice that confronts us.
For we shall make choice-no
doubt about that. We shall make it
even if we don't realize that we are
doing so.
If we insist that the old machine
is practically perfect right now, need
ing nothing but a diet of optimistic
speeches and a sit-tight philosophy
to make it work as we'll as ever. we
shall be helping to prepare place
somewhere down near the Russian
end of the scale. If, on the other
hand, we devote every energy to try
ing to find out what is wrong, if we
discard our prejudices and Insist that
cooperation and planning are possible
within the existing framework-then
the America of the future will look
very much like the America of to-
day.

YORK
10Th Gilbert van

New York, Nov. 24.-The intersec-
ton of Fifth avenue and Forty-sec-
ond has long had the reputation OF
being the nations most active cor
ner. The most recent figures to ar
rive from the statistic hounds an
nounce that almost 100000 persons
cross this intersection daily.
AS the result of this fluctuant
throng, a tobacco store on one cor
ner does the largest retail business
in the world. The shops experts have
discovered that the largest sales are
made when the red traffic lights flash
their "step" signal. The vast per-
centage of sales are cigarets.
And 40 per cent of the cigaret buy
ers are women. Statesmen are trained
to be particularly quick in matters
of barter and change, since the aver
age customer Is found to be q restless
creature who makes his purchase
between lights" and IS annoyed II
delayed.
And since the statisticians seem to
have had a field day, I've Just re-
ceived some rather astounding fig
ures concerning the new Rockefeller
Radio City," which still continues to
present the most extravagant spec
tacle in town.
Particularly awe-inspiring Is the
huge arena of gaping canyons and
to.ling workers viewed at night
through convenient cracks and holes
in the surrounding fence. Great flood
lights stream down on the black fig
ures hewing at the city's crust for
the most gigantic building project in
the world.

One of the minor problems, 1t

in total. A nice little trip Of 570,-

CHILDREN MISS MUCH TIME IN
SCHOOL AS RESULT OF SICKNESS
More Illness Occurs in Winter Months Than During Summer

It is interesting to realize that head
lice are important causes Of trouble
during the age levels from t7 La
and disappear almost to zero after
13 years of age, whereas the rate for
boils is practically zero in the younger
ages and increases steadily in the
higher ages.
Accidents as q cause of absence
from school are much greater, in
deed almost twice as great, among
boys as among girls. Most Of these
accidents are reported to the school
teacher as sore hand or sore foot,
The reason why boys have more ac-
cidents than do girls is because they
engage in baseball and football, and
also frequently play in the streets.
More illness occurs during the win
ter months than during the summer.
The worst month is February, with a
gradual decline during May, but the
May rate is still higher than the sick
ness rate of September. It is only by
determining facts such as these that
children can be guarded properly
against the type of sickness that af-
fects the school child.

More Illness Occurs in Winte
By DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor, Journal Of the American
Medical Association

During two full years the average
time lost on account Of sickness by
children in typical American COM
munity was IA school days. The av-
erage time lost caused by other than
sickness was 5.62 days.
investigations made by the United
States Public Health Service indi-
cate that younger children lose more
time on account Of sickness than do
older ones, and that girls are sick
slightly more often than boys. How
ever, in the latter case the difference
Is slight.
The common cold stands far ahead
of any other cause among sicknesses
that produce absence from school.
Headache and digestive disorders are
second and third, respectively. How
ever, the total number of days lost
from school, II taken as standard,
indicates that influenza and grippe
predominate, and sore throat, measles
and mumps are more serious as
causes Of absence.

The Hand That Rules

On the theory that the hand which
rocks the cradle also pulls the purse
strings, Mrs. John D. Sherman, chair
man of the American home depart
ment of the general federation o
womens clubs, has issued an appea
TO the women of the country to stol
pulling the purse-strings too tight.
Her idea is that many women hav
been controlled by a super-urge Il
cconomize, with the result that busl
ness has suffered, jobs have beef
lost and conditions made worse in
stead of better. Since women Spent
approximately IS per cent of tn
family incomes of America 1t Is
safe bet that their attitude towar'
conditions in general is important.
Here is the way Mrs. Sherman fig
ures it out:
"The dollars which reach the
home from farm, from factory,
from mine, from railroad, from
warehouses, from store, from fl
nancial. professional or personal
services through husband and
children must be returned to the
same channels from the home, II
standards of living of all families
are to be maintained.
Just as long as money hides
away at home, or lies idle in the
banks, just so long will there be
a stoppage in the vital circles OF
manufacture, distribution and
consumption. The employment
of the husband and grown sons
and daughters will be threatened,
curtailed or cut off altogether
unless the dollars now damned
up in the homes begin to flow
again In normal currents through
stores back to factories, mills and
farms.
II do not overlook the fact that
families whose main source of in
come has been taken from them,
or whose income has fallen be-
low the reduction in prices, can
not spend as they spent before.
Such families must conserve funds
which are no longer fed by the
pay check and which are under
continual drain for the daily es-
SentialS of life. But families
whose major incomes have re-
manned the same since 1929 or
have not decreased as much as
have prices (Which on all house.
hold goods have been reduced by
one-eighth throughout the coun-
try) are better off financially to-
day than they were two years
ago. This would be the situation,
for example, in the families of
many of the 100000 federal,
state and local government en-
ployeS of many persons associ-
ated with life insurance and tele-
phone companies, with electric
light and power, gas, drugs and
tobacco production. Such fami-
lies are in excellent position to
render real service by increasing
their purchases in proportion to
increase the employment oppor-
tunitieS Of others"
