In hot weather, the air which is
inhaled is rarified by heat and con-
tains less oxygen; therefore, there
is tendency to retention of carbon
dioxide in the blood. Some people
insist that is is partly the reason
why they tire so easily in hot
weather.
People who live in the tropics
have pulse rate that is slightly
higher than that of those living in
the temperate zone. 1t is believed
that it is related to the breathing
rate.
People are also inclined to be
more irritable in hot weather than
in cold weather. In the tropics
there is a condition called tropical
irritability," which is supposed to be
due to some change taking place in
the nervous system in hot weather.
However, these things have not
been definitely established. It is

quite possible that irritability is due
to the changed conditions under
which people live.
In hot weather there is less appe-
tite, less desire for meat, and a
greater demand for spicy articles of
food. Physicians who live in the
tropics insist that this Is due to a
lowering of the power of digestion
associated with living in hot
weather. However, this is not near
ly SO important as the danger of
constipation in hot weather.
In hot weather much moisture is
lost from the skin, therefore, the
material in the bowels tends to be
exceedingly hard and concentrated.
In order to overcome the tendency
to constipation in hot weather, it is
advisable to drink lots of water and
also to take considerable quantities
of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Treated Like Adults

A CCORDING to the Wickersham
N report, this great government
of ours is keeping more than 1900
children in confinement. None of
them is over 10, while $50 are only
is or under.
Forty-four per cent, or nearly
1000 are being punished for violat-
ing the prohibition law.
More important than all else,
these children were convicted in
courts and under statutes designed
for adults.
In spite Of the fact that it
arrests, tries, convicts and i'm
prisons such a large number Of
children, the federal government
does not recognize juvenile de-
lfnquency as distinct, or peculiar
phase of the penal system, but
treats the kid of Is just as it treats
the hardened crook of so.

The Tender Hearted Tenders

AS expected the county commissioners,
who have charge of the county poorhouse,
investigated the conditions at this institution
(which they operate and found them every
thing which sick and destitute and aged
person ought to have.
True, grand jury which does not have
control said that the treatment of inmates
is barbaric, savage and irhuman.
True there is written into the records of
the courts the fact that one inmate, suffer-
ing from tuberculosis, was sent to the penal
farm, not designed as haven for the sick,
for $50 u4.ys after, and probably because, he
protested that he had been mistreated cruelty
at the poorhouse.
The damning fact stands out that no
matter what charge was placed against him
in the courts and no matter what excuse
was given for making felon of man who
dared to protest, the offense charged was
alleged to have been committed weeks be-
fore the arrest and no charge was made
until after he had gone to the grand jury
with story this jury found to be true.
Now we have the whole circle of tender
hearted tenders of those whose crime is sick
ness, old age and poverty, terrible crimes
against the tender-hearted comfortable and
the politicians who profit from the care of
these Criminals"
First they are treated, so says grand
jury, with frightfulness and brutality.
Second, if they dare to criticise they are
IN al for al
Third, the county commissioners who
could change conditions in one minute, say
that everything is fine and wonderful.
1t seems awful to think of the poor
human being, sick and dying with tubercu-
losis, spending his days at the penal farm.
True, he told the judge he would rather go
to Jail than back to the poorhouse. Just
why he should go to either is not so clear.
The only way that he can get out is by
pardon from the Governor, who personally
read his veto message of the Old Age Pen
sion bill to the legislature because he was
afraid, so he said, that dole system would
be built up.
1t may not be possible to convince him
that man who protested against brutal
keepers in poorhouse ought not to be in
jail for the rest of his life. The poor devil
might even believe in dole and therefore
be dangerous.
But there is very definite way of get
ting rid Of brutality in poorhouse. That is
by getting rid of those who practice bru-
tally.
1t may not be true, after all, that poverty

SCIENCE
.BY DAVID DIETZ

Many EntoroIogists F e e.
That the Insects May Yet
Dispute Mans Possession
of the Earth.
MAN rules the world today. He
Iva drives his locomotives across
the land, his boats across the sea,
his airplanes through the air. AMI
mails fall for the most part into
two classes, those he has tanned and
those who are fast becoming ex-
tinct.
But many scientists are not yet
certain that man will remain in
possession Of the earth. Many en-
tomologists, as those who devote
their time to the study Of insects
are called, feel that the insects
may yet dispute mans possession OF
the earth.
DR.. L. 0. Howard, former chief
Of the United States bureau Of en-
tomology, says that mankind must
wage perpetual warfare with the
insects, and to support his claim he
points 30 the many problems which
both the United States bureau and
similar bureaus in all parts Of the
world must face.
Mans advances have hurt other
animals. But they have helped
many kinds of insects. Great farms
are not only sources of foods for
man. They are likewise choice BAN
quets for millions of insects.
International commerce has been
an aid to insects. An insect is car
ried from one country to another.
In its native country, the insect may
have many enemieS-other insects
which prey upon it. AS a result, its
numbers are kept down.
In the new country, the insect
may have no natural enemies. AS
result, it will flourish until it costs
the farmers millions of dollars a
year.

Thing to Do
TINE flaw in the theory of loose

TINE 1aW IN the theory OF loose
l. ness for arts sake is that i'm
morality is responsible for almost as
many catchwords and false tradi-
tons as virtue itself. Only very fine
spirits have ever been able to sin
without self-consciousness. Eighty
three per cent of all dissipation is
undertaken not so much from any
honest longing as from feeling
that it Is the thing to do.
The reservoir in Central park
could be filled to overlooking with
cocktails which were imbibed by
persons who did not really want
them but feared that refusal would
seem little churliSh.
tits not that way in our own day.
The man who refuses a cocktail,
whether he wants it or not, is set
down by the company as prig and

New Insect HordeS

TINE extent to which America has
L suffered from the importation
Of foreign insect pests can be cleaned
from a table prepared by Prof.
Glen w. Herrick of Cornell uni
versity.
He lists thirty-five insect pests Of
prime economic importance which
have been introduced into the United
States since approximately 1850.
Twelve were introduced prior to
1900. They were the coddling- moth,
Hessian fly, pear psylla, imported
elm-leaf beetle, currant sawf1y, i'm
ported cabbage worm, gypsy moth,
San Jose scale, Larch case-borer,
notified willow borer, brown-tail
moth and Mexican cotton-boiI wee
vii.
Twelve more were introduced be-
tween 1900 and 1920. They were the
carrot rust fly, alfalfa weevil, Euro
pean earwig, European pine-shoot
moth, pine sawfly, Japanese beetle,
oriental peach moth, European
corn-borer, tropical fowl mite, ba-
nana-root borer, pink cotton-boil
worm and apple and thorn skele-
tonizer.
Another eleven have been added
to the list since 1920. They are the
Asiatic beetle, satin moth, camphor
scale, Mexican bean beetle, new
oriental beetle, Australian tomato
weevil, Oriental twilight beetle, caS-
bage weevil, grape thrips, Mexican
fruit-f1y and Mediterranean fruit
fly.
1t is important to note that the
rate at which insect pests are in
troduced seems to be on the in-
crease.
This fact is particularly alarm
ing in the face Of the fact that
strict quarantine measures were in
troduced about fifteen years ago to
guard against insect pests.

1T SEEMS TO ME BY H ER02iS

7 HAVE always been a little du-
l. bious as to the validity of the
familiar theory about the artist and
the life of sin. If one were an art
ist it would, of course, be a con-
venient theory.
Some hold that it is good for the
man of high talent to be fairly
footloose from inhibitions. With
certain nice reservations it may be
to his advantage and to the advan-
tage Of the world in the long run,
that he should find in life the
things he wants. But, for that mat
ter, the same rule holds good for
other individuals who are not art
lists.

LRuSSialS Children

VOU hear a lot of talk about
L hatRussia is going to do when
she gets the factories built and the
farms in operation.
Russia will not have tested the
efficacy of her political system until
she meets the\ first two or three
generations of children reared unoer
it-reared in a cold, emotionless dis
cipline.
Millions of these\ children are
running about the countryside right
now, giving vent to their surplus
enegry by joining bands\and whoop-
ing it up generally, but they don't
know the meaning of sympathy,
much less love.
When you get right down to
brass tacks, the future of any
country is determined by the kind
Of men and women it produces, and
what they learn to do as a matter
of right, or wrong is vastly more im@
portant than what they are forced
to do as matter of compulsion.

Crime on Increase

XKTHETHER with regard to ju-
w venile, or adult ofenses, we
are not getting the results from our
complicated, expensive system Of
law enforcement that we should, or
that we have a right to expect.
Last year was a record breaker
for murder in New York, with a
total of 698 in the state and 494 in
the city.
New York is not exceptional in
this respect. Murder has increased
steadily in this country for the last
twenty years, and so have most
other serious crimes.
Crime has become such a stu
pendous factor in our economic and
social life that no one can estimate
its cost. What we pay for protec-
ton through the employment Of
peace officers, the maintenance Of
courts and the upkeep of prisons is
but small part of it. The insur-
ance bill by which we endeavor to
safeguard ourselves has grown to
enormous proportions.

GallantrY

7 OU1s WOLHEIM played the in
IL. cident Superb1y. He acted the
part of a man consumed with deep
fatigue. There is an old wives tale
that soldiers home from the wars,
even for an hour, must be gallant
and insistent in their dealings with
all women.
Captain Flagg was under the tug
of this tradition. His inclination
could not be considered. And so,
with all the good will he could
muster. he made love to the fat
siren. She refused him.
With a happy sign he accepted
the rebuff and went to quarters,
bearing with him brandy. Under
the circumstances no blame could be
attached to him. He had asked
and been turned down. Honor. at
least, was satisfied.

Teaching Morality

UNLESS our theory of education
~ is all wrong, we have got to
find a corrective for this situation
in the treatment and training of
children.
Well, we don't teach them arith-
n1etic by putting them on bread and
water, or shutting them up in the
dark, and we're not going to teach
them morality that way.
Children do not resent order, sys-
tenn and discipline as long as they
have confidence and faith in those
who impose it, but their confidence
and faith are essential.
\ A child will do most anything for
and take most anything from the
man, or woman, whom he trusts.
That's where we've got to begin.

is silly to suppose that he must

Home, the Criterion

NTHER things being equal, no
~ woman loves a child like its
mother and no man takes the same
interest as its father.
Through one cause or another,
many children are deprived of the
advantages which go with a nor
NAL home and parental guidance.
In constantly increasing num-
Der of cases, society is compelled to
shoulder the burden not only of
supporting children, but of train
ing them. Sometimes, it finds them
as orphans, sometimes, as delin-
quents.
In all cases, it should adopt
methods as nearly like those pre-
vailing in the normal home and
followed by normal parents as is
humanity possible. Whether in the
asylum, the courtroom, or the re-
formatory, the first idea should be
to act as the normal, right minded
father and mother would act under
similar circumstances.
