Just Every Day Sense
By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

A SOMEWHAT cynical man-he'S young yet-tells
- n me he would like to find woman to marry
Ahere are Tour types OF the feminine he adrres ire
mendousy-"the Madame Curie type the creative
humanitarian intellectual; the Cleopatra type the re-
uned and intelligent creature to whom love-making
IS an ART the ST. Theresa type to whom living means
spirituality; and, lastly, the Amelia Earhart type
brave, fearless and determined"
For other than these the gentleman saws ba on
tertains the most profound and abiding contempt
He would like, of course, to find somebody who
emoodles all the qualities of the four above men,
toned He doesn't want much, you see. Just a SUPER
woman, VINO could suit. his every mood and appeal
to his intellectual, physical and moral sense
Naturally he believes that he is fitted to make a
person OF such varying moods and accomplishments
perfectly happy.
THE thing about men that never changes is their
a aboundiug faith in themselves They are posi-
lively childke in their respect for their own opinions
1t never occurs to them that they may not be able
to measure up to feminine standards because they are
so engroSSed with the idea that God made no woman
capable Of approaching them.
For such men would advocate more and better
mirrors. little Soul-communing each morning be-
fore the looking glass would be mighty fine thing
for them.
They do not spend enough time contemplating
their persons. And seldom if ever do they pene-
trate beneath the surface of what passes for their
minds or analyze their desires and motives.
Whenever you hear a man say that women are
hypocrites, towards, petty minded and ignorant be-
ings, you may be sure that he is afflicted with a
disease that to have been impartiay distributed
between the Sexes-egoism
AS all mortals fashion gods who are like them
selves so do men attribute to women the faults with
which they have heen endowed spperahundastly.

Ultimately, there may be some

wines and choice liquors, but for
the immediate present we need all

disappointment if modification and
repeal are not accompanied by
measures to keep the business in this
country.
Generally speaking, we can make
just as good beer, light wines and
hard liquor as can be made any,

reason to believe that the diseases
of man, particularly such as are
caused by living organisms, likewise
undergo such changes.
True, some diseases have been

Development of new methods of

SCIENCE

Depression Creates Serious
Situation IN Hospitals of
Country.
THE depression has brought the
Il hospitals Of the nation face to
face with a serious situation, that
Of maintaining their present stand
ards in the face of reduced income.
The situation is regarded as an
exceedingly important one, since it
affects the health Of the whole
nation.
DR.. William F. Snow, president of
the National Health council, has
issued a warning to the public
against forcing the voluntary chari-
table hospitals of the nation to lower
their medical standards. These hos
pitfalls last year took care Of $780,
900 patients.
DR.. Shows statement was issued
after meeting of representatives of
more than twenty public health or
CARNATIONS.
These representatives met to dis
cuss the hospital question, regarded
as extremely grave.
Finances of the charitable hos
pitfalls have suffered greatly" DR..
Snow says, and Notwithstanding
the urgency of contributions to
emergency relief agencies, the pub
lie must support the hospitals lib
orally, if it expects the hospitals to
continue to give the best that medi-
cal science can offer"

Touch of Mortal Clay

A DMITTEDLY, different human
N hands in various centuries
wrote the Book, but, according to
believers in direct inspiration, the
ultimate authorship was unchang-
ing. To accept this is to give sup
port to the conception Of God as an
artist.
The curving line is the symbol Of
the creative spirit. Workers in
metals, clay, and pigments, never
can maintain an unhagging stand
ard of achievement. SlumpS in their
artistic product are inevitable, and
necessary as well. High points would
lack definition If there were no
lower reaches to set them OF.
And this could be true as well Of
the art Of fashioning ether into
planets and Of the making Of man
out Of the dust.

Some Diseases Now Are Eliminated

of the introduction of some new dis
ease previously considered a rarity.
It has been urged that the great
civilization of Greece and Rome fell
because of epidemics of malaria.
In the United States today, GER
tain forms of infections of the
glands, certain forms of infestation
by tapeworns, and similar disorders
are seen with comparative frequency
whereas formerly they practically
were unknown.
The time never will come when
man will be free entirely from the
fear of disease.
The battle is unending, but, more
and more, mankind can celebrate
the fruits of victory.
AS diseases change and as new
diseases appear, scientists see them
Tow in their earliest stages, they
determine their causes and their
modes of transmission, and they pre-
vent their development.

The Liquor Problem Needs
Solution Not Only as a
Matter of Morals, but Of
Economic Relief.
Savs !.
Economic ReIlef.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Foreign-
IN ers, as well as some of the home
folks, appear to have the wrong
idea Of why this country turned
against prohibition. 1t was not to
get drunk for the benefit Of Euro
pean distillers and domestic rack
eteers.
Many people had grown tired Of
paying a high price for bad liquor;
but more had become alarmed at
the rise of organized lawlessness.
Depression removed all doubt that
tragic blunder had been COM
nitted. It revealed the govern
ment was hard-pressed for revenue,
while the boQtlegging business not
only flourished, but escaped its just
share of taxation.
Unemployment reminded us that
legalized brewing would provide
work for thousands and, at the same
time, leave our morals in better
shape than the rum fleet.
The real desire is to end a chief
source of lawlessness, provide reve-
nue. and create jobs.

Many Hospitals Closed

DUBLIC health authorities are
L greatly worried that many hos
pitalS will have to close their doors.
According to statistics prepared
by the American Medical associa-
tion," said DR.. Snow, "110 hospitals
closed their doors in 1881 and other
hospitals are considering such a
move, because of the financial
stringency.
There are more than $500 Of
these voluntary charitable hospitals
in the United States, many CT which
have found it necessary to close a
large number of their wards and
private rooms.
THE American Hospital associa-
ton has pointed out that in the vol
untary charitable hospitals the
spread between income and expense
has been increased greatly in the
last three years.
"On the average, they now are
giving more than 80 per cent Of
their services to patients who can
not pay the cost of their care, while
their earnings have fallen off Is to
20 per cent.
For years past they have had to
look to the American public for
some $100,000,000 in contributions
for the support of this free work"

on infinite purposes. We didn't
know much about the universe, but
we know what we like. Our senses
are inadequate, but, since they are
all we have, it would be folly for
us to pay no heed to what they tell
us.
And to us the world is a mixture
of good and bad. But, after all,
not a little of that rather is pal
pably our own fault.
There has been in recent years a
good deal of discussion about the
Bible and the question of whether
we believe the book to be inspired
throughout as nothing else ever was.
One of the arguments used by those
who believe that it came straight
from holy inspiration is the state
ment that the literary value of the
Bible is obviously greater than that
of any other collection Of writings.
Decisions of the sort are difficult,
and if I maintained that Shakes
peare had at times written more
eloquently than any of the Script
ural poets hardly could prove my
case beyond the limit of appeal. And
still I'm not willing to admit that
it is contention to be blithely
thrown out of any mans court.
However, my contention is more
limited than that. To read the
Bible as literature alone is to dis
cover that its merits vary enor-
mously. Even the most stern of
fundamentalists must admit, If you
press him, that he has within this
book his favorite passages.
Not all of it is magnificent in
spirit, and within the broad ex-
panse of the Bible there are
chapters which sing and some
which amble. I do not see how
any one can maintain that the be
gat' chapters are marvels Of lit
erary expression,

Matter of Economic Aid

Matter OF Economic AID
TINE American liquor problem,
Il as created by Volsteadism,
bootlegging, and gang rule, has no
parallel in the past, or in other
countries.
It's solution is desired not only
as matter of morals, but as mat
ter of economic relief.
The existing situation is, and has
been, costing us real money. We
failed to realize this until hard
times brought us to our senses,
just as we failed to realize some
other things.
We don't like to talk about the
cash side of question which has
been presented to us in the light
of virtue or vice for the last 100
years, but we have been thinking
about it good deal.
We have been thinking about the
men who might have been kept at
work, the taxes that might have
been collected, and about the wasted
efforts that might have been
avoided.
We have been thinking about the
host of dry agents we have hired
and fired, about the futile arrests
we have made, and about the still
more futile prosecutions we have
compelled. We have been thinking
how hard it is to explain such a
sorry state of affairs to our chill
dren and how casually they have
come to regard real temperance.

ID since the nature of the germs

Yellow fever occurs now in only a

Glory of Experimentation

y
A ND like to think of the inf
4 a mite creative spirit as inspired
by a desire for experimentation.
More fervor than technique went,
I hope, into the activities Of Gene
sis. Perfection is the pal of sterility.
The musician, painter or sculp-
tor who knows precisely how every
thing Is done already is set to be
emeritus. And into the making of
a universe there should enter a
desire to try strange and danger
Gus things.
God looked upon His world when
it was done and called it good.
This is not the mood of the great
technicians. They know at the be-
ginning what the end will be and
do not need even so much as a
glance to gauge the excellence of
the composition.
In a strict sense, nothing has been
created, for the man with a meth
cd merely does once again the thing
which he has set down many times
before. I've always felt that heaven
was a place where amateurs went
when they died.

Protective Measures

UlOCllVC WOQOul 90
DR. KENDALL EMERSON, d.
- rector of the National Tuber-
culosis association, calls attention
to the necessity of maintaining hos
pitfalls, clinics, and public health
nursing service as a means of pro-
tecting the health Of the public.
"It is far more economical-aS
well as much more humane" said
DR.. Emerson, ito prevent tubercu-
loSis than to cure it.
With so many people unemployed,
it is especially important that clini-
cal and out-patient facilities for
those who have not become hospi-
tai bed patients should be main
tanned at highest efficiency"
Importance of supporting ade-
quately the laboratory, X-ray, re-
search and diagnostic services Of
the hospitals was pointed out by
Miss Katherine Tucker, director OF
the National Organization for Pub
lie Health Nursing, who said that
while public health nurses were es-
pecially well equipped to give nurs-
ing care to the average poor pa
tient in his home at low cost, sta
tistics show that 10 per cent of the
sick require the highly specialized
diagnostic and therapeutic service OF
the hospital, which of necessity is
expensive.
The contribution of the hospitals,
and particularly their free service,
to the morale of the community was
stressed by Clifford Beers, secretary
of the National Committee for Men
tai Hygiene.
"To the man who has family,
but no Job, frequently the assurance
of good hospital care in case OF sick
ness is a bulwark against utter de-
spair," said Beers.
"The public, therefore, can not az
ford to let the hospitals lose their
present determination to serve the
sick poor at all costs"
