USE MORE FISH

During the coming Lent, which will
last for 40 days, several million more
people than usual will be eating fish
in place of meat. This will probably
be good for their health as well as
their pocketbooks, for there is no rea-
o why fish should not be used more
often in the average persons d!et.
Few people appreciate the value of
fish, which is a building food similar
to lean beef, and which, because of
its delicate flavor and tender flesh.
may be prepared in a great variety Of
healthful ways. Furthermore, fish is
not usually an expensive food.
In the ocean we have q tremendous
reserve food supply which has only
recently been Systematically har-
vested. There is no doubt that when
people as a whole S fish oftener,
instead Of reserving certain days or
seasons, the price should be still low
err than it is at present.
Fish has a reputation of being hard
to digest, but there are many kinds of
fish which may be used by those in
ordinary health, and if properly COM
bined with other foods will cause no
indigestion. One of the big mistakes
that most people make is to serve
milk at the same meal with fish; this
is IN especially bad combination.
The best foods to serve with fish
r the green leafy vegetables and
the cooked non-starchy vegetables,
which are rich in the alkalinizing
elements which the fish foods lack,
thereby balancing the wholesome
protein found in the sea foods.
Fresh fish is always more quickly
digested than smoked, sailed or
picked fish. Among the more easily
digested fish you will find sole, hall
but. sea bass, pickerel, fresh cod, tom
cod, perch, black bass, barracuda and
fresh tuna. Fish which contain a
large amount of fat in proportion to
their protein take a little longer to
digest.
Besides being economical and nour-
ishing, the salt water fish is health
full on account of the iodine which it
contains. Among the fish containing
the most iodine are cod, paddock,
salmon. herring and the shellfish,
such as crab, lobster, shrimp, oysters
and clans.
The most healthful ways of pre-
pairing fish r by broiling, baking or
boiling. A small amount of salt
should be added to the water in
which fish is to be boiled to keep the
fish from breaking apart.
1t Is % possible to freeze fish
shortly after they r caught, MAIN
tanning them in the same frozen con-
dition until marketed, so that the

Educational Needs of the Children

The White House Conference on Child Health and
Protection reported to President Hoover that the United
States has $500, 900 children who are specially gifted, but
that only 1000 of these are receiving the special educa-
ton that will fit them for the work of guiding the trend
Of events in the modern world. There lies the future
leadership of the Nation, if We devote ourselves to their
guidance" said President Hoover.
The need for developing leaders was never greater
than it is at present. 1t was pointed out at the confer
cnce that more than one-half Of the wealth of the Unit
ed States was owned by one per cent OF the people, ana
that in this mechanical age the decision OF a business
executive might seriously effect the lives of thousands.
even hundreds of thousands of men, women and chill
dren.
How to control the machinery of production is the
great problem of the nation which remains unsolved, a
problem pregnant with danger. To cope with this danger
there appears to be no capable leadership at the present
time. and the type Of leadership required must be re-
cruited from the ranks of the gifted children of today.
The chance to rise to knowledge and power must be CIV
en- them.
1t is no less important to bring education and oppor-
tunities to the handicapped children-those vino are
blind, deaf. lame, or sick in body, and mind. There are
many millions of these children, ready and eager to con-
tribute what they have Of physical and mental gifts and
spiritual beauty to the nation. A Bill of Rights" for the
handicapped child was submitted to the White House
conference by William j. Ellis, Phi. D., chairman of the
conference. According to this document, the handi-
capped child Is entitled:
/. To as vigorous a body as human skill can give
him.
2. To an education so adapted to his handicap
that he can be economically independent and have
the chance for the fullest life of which he is capable.
3. To be brought up land educated by those who
understand the nature Of the burden he has TO bear
and who consider it a privilege to help him bear it.
4. To grew up in a world which does not set him
apart, which looks at him. not with scorn or pity or
ridicule-but which welcomes him. exactly as it vel
comes every child. which offers him identical privi-
leges and identical responsibilities.
5. To a life on which his handicap casts no sha.
Cow, but which is full day by day with those things
which make it worth while, with comradeship, love,
work, play, laughter and tears-a life in which these
things bring continually increasing growth. richness,
release OF energies, Joy in achievement

Cling village of $500 people. was pointed out as a better
terminal for the packet lines.
The coming Of the railroads changed all this and the
steamboats, gradually fell into disuse. It is believed that
the last cargo of any Importance was carried up the riv-
er in 1887, the same year that the Northern Pacific rail-
road reached Fort Benton, Montana.
Since those days of pioneer energy and enthusiasm SO
years ago, the river, from its source to its junction with
the Mississippi, has been almost bare of commerce.
Fifty years is q long period Of time for q great and
n~avigable river to flow idly along, unburdened by COM
mercial keels, but it is safe to say that the river win not
always remain idle. In time it will again carry its share
Of traffic.
A few days ago, when the federal engineer was here,
he was handed a statement showing that for the year
ending December 3lst, 1928, the railroads OF North Da-
kota carried Q total of 7,643, 568 tons of freight in carload
lots and local shipments
How much of this freight could be diverted to river
barges, if the traffic should be reestablished on the riy-
err? The engineer asked that question. and it is for the
people who are interested in the Missouri river to an
swer.
Let us suggest that their answer, whatever it is, be
unanimous, after serious study and investigation, Or
ganization and cooperation. 1t is a difficult question
which cannot be easily solved.
The Missouri river is not unlike the sleeping cat of
the Morse legend. One of the northern gods of antiquity,
so the saga runs, was entertaining a neighboring god.
The visiting divinity wanted an opportunity to show his
wonderful strength. His host pointed to a sleeping cat
and said, "You might begin by lifting that animal from
the ground" The visiting god thought it a great joke, but
to oblige his host, put his hand under the belly of the
cat and proceeded to raise it above his head. To his
surprise the feet of the cat remained on the ground,
and the further skyward he stretched his godlike arm,
the longer grew the cat. And try as he would, he could
never get its feet off the ground. His host then told him
that what he was lifting was not a cat at all, but a coil
of the great serpent that encircleS the earth.
The Missouri river problem is a good deal like that.
Each person that tackles 1T thinks at first that he is
merely lifting the sleeping cat" only to discover his
error after wrestling seriously with the problem. Re-
CARELESS of the puny efforts of single individuals, the
river, like the tabled serpent. continues to wind its coils

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Cold Showers

NOAN
Question: D. E. G.. writes: "Al-
most every evening for the past three
months I have taken a cold shower,
after a day at the office, and an oc-
casional shcrt period of sleeping be-
| fore going out in the evening which
makes me feel very refreshed. l
have continued these cold showers
and a few invigorating exercises up
to the present day. What I wish to
know is-are these cold showers
harmful to the body?"
Answer: You have been following
a very good practice and should keep
up the cold showers and take a rest
| before going out in the evening.
| There is nothing harmful about cold
| showers except possibly to n who
has a very severe heart disorder.
Black Spots IN Teeth
Question: M. D. G. writes: u
would appreciate very much if you
would please tell me how to get rid
| of the black spots that are increasing
on my teeth. and also how could l
avoid the. l in the future?"
Answer: Black spots on the teeth
may be due to the excessive use OF
inorganic iron, as in certain tones;
or they may be due to decay. You
should have a dental examination
and get your dentists opinion. It
has been found that vitamin G is very
necessary in the diet, and assists in
preventing decay of the teeth.
tuberculosis
Question: F. j. asks: lis there
any danger in accepting something
from the home of one who has died
of tuberculosis? The article in ques-
ton is new and was not worn, and
the home has been fumigated."
Answer: If the person did not
wear the garment there is probably
no danger. Washing with soap and
warm water or with cleansing SOL
vents is usually a sufficient disinfec-
tant for any tubercular germs which
are present.

SINNERS? l.. H.
A. The So-called SINNERS were
generally bands of marauders who
although cdhering to the American
Cause were not members of the regu-
lar army. These SINNERS were
sometimes of great assistance, and
occasionally militia men from the
regular army worked with them. It
is our understanding that the three
men who captured Major Andre were
militia men, but that they we're not
officers. Major Andre mistook them
for SINNERS. The names of these
three men were John Paulding, David

Jones S Article on
the South

Howard Mumford Jones. who
resigned his professorship here

the January Scrlbners entitled

subtitle provided by the editor
of Scribner's, What are the

following Introductory note
Here is no partisan statement.
A writer and teacher Of distinc-
ton born in the North has re-
turned to his native state after
fourteen years spent IN the
South. He presents in this ar
ticle the results of his observa-
ton and reflection. Its warm
and urbane quality makes it a
pleasure to read, and it's effective
analysis makes it worth while"
The fact that Mr.. Jones's last
few years in the South were
spent in Chapel Hill gives the
article, of course, a peculiar in
terest to the people here.
Naturally they see themselves
held up to a mirror. But this
assumption may be carried too
far. Mr.. Jones was in Texas
longer than he was in North
Carolina, and he has travelled
extensively and has made visits
of considerable duration in
several other Southern states.

In this county Of Orange the
total number Of automobiles sold
in the year 1880, based upon the
registration figures in Raleigh,
was 279, Of which 23l were
Fords, az compared with "a total
of ABB in 1929, of which l58

all cars fell off 80 per cent, and
the sale Of Fords 81 per cent.
The state of North Carolina

fewer by 34,098 than in 1929.
In the whole Of the United
States 2,700,000 cars were sold
