Thereupon, he deliberately

Must Have Vision

WHETHER as individuals, com
w munities, or nations, people
can not grow without vision. 1t is
their destiny not only TO build
castles in the air, but to attempt
the translation of these dreams into
acUlality. Let them drop the habit,
ard they risk mental atrophy.

sources and instrumentalities at our

We have doomed stocks, but only
to find that it was q house Of cards,
have merged and consolidated our
great business concerns, but only to
discover that 1t didn't bring the

We have added more miles to our
hard-surfaced highways, installed
more telephones, perfected the
broadcasting system and operated
an ever-increasing number of autos.
But what have we done that was

We're Getting Soft

XTE can not go on as we are,
w without deteriorating. AS a
nation, we must have things to
work for, things that never were
done before, things that fit our
strength.
It is utterly ridiculous to suppose
that the greatest organization on
earth can sit down and play safe.
This idea that we have reached a
point where it soon will be possible
to play half the time and cut cou-
pons, is not only absurd, but PERM
cious.
We are getting too soft, as 1t is
too soft and scared.
Neither is it necessary to think Of
conquest, or imperialism, as the only
outlets for our surplus energy.

MOST department Of public
NA health officials have recognized
the great difficulty Of satisfying
people with a water supply that has
taste and odor.
Because our sense of taste is a
combination Of the sense OF odor
and of sight and many other senses,
taste in water usually is merely
odor.
The gas or vapor given off reaches
the nose and is sensed as smell.
Certain gases, such as hydrogen
sometimes liberated by
water, have Objectionable smells.
They are usually due to organic
matter, such as microscopic organ
isms.
Sometimes smell OF water is due
to excess chlorine or the formation

Allowing for political miracle, tactics Of delay
and obstruction conccivaby might get the sales tax
through the house.
But that delay OF the tax bill, and consequent delay
OF the whole balance budgeting and relief program,
is precisely what the country not stand
II n we're the other way around, doubtless the
country would be willing to swallow q bad sales tax
better than disastrous delay. But that Is not the
situation 1t Is the reverse.
The only way to get through the relief and econ

Editor TimeS-The following typi-
cal information is determinable from
the official reports Of the postofiice
department:
/. First-class mail showed in
three-year period. 1929-1931, net
revenue Of $l96, 452, 922.68.
2. Second-class, newspapers and
publishers matter, showed in three
year period, 1929-1931, deficit Of
$3.50, 377, 653.44.
Not alone did second-class mail
fail to pay its own way, but 1t alb
sorbed the gains and profits Of first
class, and further lost the additional
amount Of $83, 1924, 730.76.
Measured with a uniform STAN
dard under which second-class mail
would be made to pay tax burden in
equal share charged against first
class mail, the former should have
produced gross revenue in three
year period Of not less than s45I,-
06o. $40. and properly more, but
actually produced less than one-fifth
of such amount 1888, 053. 1880.

May 2S-
nN May %, 1918, the German
~ offensive in the Chemin des
Danes continued with tremen-
dous force, and defending French
forces we're again hurled back by
sheer weight Of numbers.
The German gain for the day
averaged almost six miles. A
wedge was driven into the French
lines at Fismes, and commanders
Of allied forces at the front ap-
pealed for immediate reinforce
ments.
German forces hurled at the
French on this front were esti-
mated at more than 100000, al
most triple the strength Of their
opposition.
A German division which had
broken through crossed the Vesle
river and stubbornlY resisted eff
forts Of fresh French forces TO
dislodge it.
Meanwhile, American regulars
thrilled the world with their
brief but brilliant feat in storm
ing the heavy fortified town of
Cantigny.
More than 200 German prisoners
were taken. Two fierce counter
attacks re beaten of with heavy
loss to the Germans.
Additional American divisions
were being rushed TO the front to
replace tired French veterans.

Editor Times-I see in the Star
an article asking every one to spend
81 for something he needs, to boost
business. With a thinking person
this has no merit, as the industries
of the entire nation are controlled
with improved machinery and
skilled men, until they can supply
the needs of the country with the
forces now in operation.
MY idea is, If you can spare the
dollar, spend the dollar with gro
Ger, and tell him that you are going
to buy some groceries for some
worthy mother who is trying to
keep her children from want. Per-
haps the grocer will help by elimi-
mating his profit.
I believe a plan to boost agricul-
ture is the only way to success. A
friendly receivership. proceeding to
place the land under government
control. to finance and stock it, to
a paying basis. with qualified farm
ers, operated by the unemployed.
and the produce to be used by the
unemployed. The farms are almost
depleted of stock and we soon viii
face a shortage.
We would like for the legislators
to try to help us while they are
helping themselves.

q hand. Way up on the topmost
rafters, just under the roof, he had
built little room. It really was sort
of big box with one side left open. He
had built it right on the favorite perch
ing place of those Owls and this, to-
gether with the noise of the hammer
ing and saving, had quite upset them,
especially Mrs. Monkey-face. When at
last he finished the job and left them
in peace she was filled with suspicion.
It was then that she decided that she
would go back to her old home just
as soon as nesting time arrived.
1t was Monkeyface who first found
out that one side of that little room
was open and that it really was very
cozy and nice in there. There was even
q perch on which to sit and mediate
In peace and comfort. The very first
time he went In and looked it over ne
knew that here was the best place he
ever had seen for bringing up family
He hastened to call Mrs. Monkey-face.
She wouldn't come. She wouldn't even
peek inside. She knew, she just knew.
that that thing was dangerous. No good
would come of having anything to do
with it. She just knew it.
Monkey-face just bumped his shoul-
ders and said nothing. He knew that
the more he might say the more set
against it she would become, but from
that time on he spent much Of his
time during the hours of daylight sit
ting on that perch in that little room,
leaving Mrs. Monkey-face to perch
alone on one of the rafters, where she
fused and fretted. He pretended not
to hcar her. Every day she said some
tn about going back to her old home.
Ii Kept Monkey-face filled with un-
easiness.
One night he remained out hunting
Q little longer than she did. When he
entered the barn through the gable
window he flew straight to that perch

slight changes here and there and not
the least Of these Is increased emphA-

ally evening and afternoon dresses are

there Is q defined waistline, accented

There are the new h1gh-wa1steo

You may or may not recall that IN
those days the top Of the skirt was

the waistline. but Is held IN position

taught By some stupid one that worms
should be destroyed.
Darwin wrote . whole book On the
value Of earthworms to the economy
Of life, both wild life and mans life.
Primarily that value Is that they turn
over in the course Of the year untold
tons Of earth; that they are natural
plows and spades that stir up sour soil,
give 1t fresh aeration, make it pene-
trable to blessed rainfall. and carry
down leaf mold to . depth Of many
inches, there to enrich the soil. They
furnish food to millions Of sweet song
birds.
One Of the reasons that worms are
treated to persecution is that they are
mistaken for the larvae Of insects,
caterpillars and maggots such as We
unearth with the garden spade. These
may well earn our enmity, many Of
them. though as moths, butterflies, bee
ties, and the like. they may later draw
our praise for their beauty. But an
engaging appearance does not mean
innocence. The earthworm Is innocent,
yet hardly beautiful.

didn't want to go back. He was per-

look much younger than I am.
MRS. A. E."
Dear Helen Woodward-Will you be
kind enough to write an article on the
subject Of one becoming 'dietician'?
The courses needed and the places
where one can receive this training?
Also the compensation that one may ex-
pect upon the completion OF the course?
MRS. A. s."
Both these women want to be dietj-
clans. One can be and one cannot To
become a dietician you have to be q
graduate Of some college where you
have specialized in home economics. Or
a graduate Of some place like Pratt In
stitute. in Brooklyn: DreXel Institute, in
Philadelphia, or the extension course
in home economics at the University 81
California.
After you have had this training
there are two ways open to you. You
either become q specialist in hospital
dieteticS or in industrial dietetics.
If you choose the hospital work you
enter some good hospital for training,
which lasts from three to six months.
Then you get a job as dietician in a
hospital, which pays about $85 month
plus board, laundry and ROOM From
there you can work up to head dietician
Of large hospital. where you get $3.50
a month and all expenses paid
The same training will also get you
a position in large institutions Of all
kinds.
If you 60 in for industrial work you
get a job as assistant to the manager
Of cafeteria in some business organ
ization. These cafeterias supply lunches
to the employees. To this work you 60
directly from your domestic science
course at college. In cafeteria manage
ment you need to know what foods
combine well and what people like to
eat, and how to figure cost In hospital
work you need to know all this and
much besides. The cafeteria work pays
more cash, but doesn't include board
and room.
Dieticians who run these cafeterias
can also run big restaurants. tea rooms
and other commercial organizations.
A great many business organizations
now have such cafeterias for their en-
ployes. The American Telephone l.
Telegraph Co. has one of the biggest in
the world. 1t has branch cafeterias in
every city where it has exchanges, with
supervisors in charge of each cafeteria
