Such child does not appear to be

1t has what is called a low vitality
potential.
1t is just simply not enough
alive. It does not keep up with
the other children in school, and
it does not play as actively as do
normal children.
In addition, there is the type of
child who seems to have super
vitality and who thereby overdoes
everything.
Such a child stays up late, never
stops playing until exhausted, never
stops studying until it falls asleep
at the desk, and keeps up this pro-
gram day after day and night after
night until the point of breakdown.

Association and of Hygeia, the
Health Magazine.
IN the White House conference
Il on child health and protection,
one phrase was heard repeatedly;
namely, malnourished children.
1t is difficult to conceive in this
country, even in time of univer-
sal economic stress, that any con-
siderable number of children do
not get sufficient nourishment, but
actually there are children starv-
ing with plenty of food, and there
are many cases of children who get
insufficient food.
Malnutrition in children is due
to one of these two causes, either
insufficient food or unsuitable
food. There are, of course, other
cases, in which secondary diseases,
such as infections in the tonsils or
teeth, or hookworms in the bowel,
or malaria may be responsible for
a lack of sufficient nourishment for

V isolated localities, as Mt. Etna
in Sicily. Most volcanoes, however,
are arranged in lines; a fewer num-
Der in groups.
Mt. VeSuvius near Naples is at the
end of a long line of volcanoes of
which the others are extinct.
About 500 volcanoes have been
known to be active in historic times.
The extinct volcanoes in existence
total about 5000.
volcanoes occur where the crust
of the earth has undergone the
greatest amount of shifting and up

volcanoes are found in the region
OF most recent upheavaI, the shores
of the Pacific ocean.
Ihey also occur along the shores
OF the Mediterranean, in Asia. India.

volcano in the United States. II il

and volcanoes are associated with

Two sometimes are found together.

be both an earthquake region and

Government Costs Must Be
Squared With Diminished
Sources of ReUenue.

OONl Go " kCCOtWOs
NEW YORK, Oct. Whether
IN considered from a national,
state, or local standpoint, the para
mount issue of this campaign is
drastic reduction in public expendi-
lures.
Government costs must be
squared with diminished sources of
revenue, not only as e matter of
fairness, but to liberate all possible
credit for relief work and promotion
of all activities essential to recov-
cry.
For three years, we have proceed
ed on the assumption that mainte-
nance Of public pay rolls and pub
lie budgets would help restore wages,
prices and profits in private enter
prise.
The assumption has proved false.
Not only has private enterprise
failed to respond as expected, but
towns, cities, states and even the
nation itself have sunk deeper and
deeper into debt.
Though the earning power of the
American people has shrunk by one
half during the last three years,
their tax bill remains about the
same. In some instances, the tax
bill has risen.
Such condition can not continue.
The lack of proportion it represents
already has become appalling.
In 1928, IA cents of every 81
earned in this country went for
taxes. That was bad enough, but
now the amount stands at about 30
cents.
In other words, where the aver
age taxpayer had So cents out of
each dollar he earned to use for
business Or living expenses four
years ago, he has only 70 cents to-
day, and the number of dollars
available has Shriveled to one-half.

How About Seabury2

DUT why did a clever man like
ID Mr. Curry miss trick? I'll
grant that the suggested backfleld of
Roosevelt, Walker, and Hofstadter
suggests great deception and a triple
threat. But where is Seabury?
If only he had been included as a
senatorial nominee and the man to
call the signals, the balance would
have been so perfect that nobody
could have denied these horsemen a
blanket Endorsement for the ALL
America.
Samuel and James and Franklin!
See how they run. And they can
kick and dodge and pass. Politics
seldom has provided stranger bed
fellows or better allies in a broken
field.
OF course it is still distinctly
possible that Tammany will not GO
to the length of reducing the big
conflict between the major parties
to palpable absurdity. Mr.. Curry
may be moved by the argument, "Of
course, it's good strategy, but is it
art?"
Our peranobulating Pericles seems
less than certain of his own mind.
In far-off Paris he is quoted as say
ing, eff I had any sense, would go
away and keep quiet, because I
realize it would ruin me physically
if went back into politics"
But after examining the major
premise of the lost leader, I still re-
main less than wholly convinced
that this is a complete disclaimer of
his intention to stand for office
again if possible.

Must Make Sacrifices

IT is absurd to suppose that we
a can meet and overcome an
emergency like that which exists
without making sacrifices, but the
sacrifices will be futile unless made
intelligently and with an eye to
fairness.
With ten million people out of
work, with an incalculable number
OF business enterprises gone bank
rupt, with an enormous amount of
property being sold for taxes. or
placed in hands of receivers. with
an endless stream Of evicted ten

preston, we have not CONQUERED it.
by any means. We are not even
sure that the tide has turned. nor
can we be sure until our revenues
nave been brought into line with
our expenditures, or vice versa.
The increase of taxes by which
the federal budget was SUPPOSED to
nave been balanced has proved in
adequate. The very day that Presi-
dent Hoover told us how completely
uncle Sans house had been put in
order, the treasury department
came out with report showing q
tremendous deficit for the first
quarter Of this fiscal year.
The next day, stocks went down
4 or 5 points.
New York Is EXAMPLE
IT is the same story in most of
l. the states, counties and mu-
inequalities.

or Republican, whether local or
national, has shown a poor dispo-
Sltlon to play fair, or meet the
issue Squarely.
In New York City, the real quar-
1CA 10 over CUT IN the budget.
That is why Tammany wanted to
save Walker. It generally was
understood that he would protect
the padded pay rolls and "honest"
graft. For precisely the same
reason, taxpayers wanted to get rid
of him.
Mayor Mckee began to slash ex-
pendltures as soon as he took Walk
er's place, and that is why Tam,
many does not want him. That
is why the Tammany controlled
board of estimates took the budget
making power out of his hands.
New York City is no exception to
the prevailing situation. On every
hand, the people are to be found
fighting for reduction in govern
ment costs, while intrenched politics
is to be found fighting just as hard
against it.

to this state of affairs should read

XXTITHIN my own lifetime I have

and partisan attack brought
against him suddenly and without
reason by Republicans who are
wolves, roaming in packs and seek

And the chief wolf, the one with

immaculate heels and even the
trouSer leg of James ]. Walker, was
identified as Samuel Hofstadter,
the head of the legislative commit
tee appointed to pry into affairs
which should be both private and
sacroSanct.
I'm sure I heard statements to
this effect from Walker and his
followers and supporters. Imagine,
then, my surprise to read in the
daily press the well-confrmed re-

Three Forces


in few months, Nature
Il has shown three of her dead
Hest forces, the earthquake, the vol
cano and the hurricane.
Man has had reason to fear these
three since the beginning of his
tory. We find the earthquake de-
Scribed in the Bible, which Ezekiel
prophesies, And the mountains
shall be thrown down, and the steep
places shall fall, and every wall
shall fall to the ground"
And yet man never has fled the.
regions where these Scourges are
most likely to occur. Hendrix Van
Loon, in his Geography" wonders
why it is that men have insisted
throughout history in locating
farms on the slopes of volcanoes.
They have done ID where those
slopes were unusually fertile. Sim
1larly, many regions subject to
earthquakes or to hurricanes have
attracted men because, when Ma
ture slept, they were pleasant places
to live.
California is subject to earth
quakeS and Florida to hurricanes.
Earthquakes are most common in
zones known as the seismic regions.
These are zones of weakness in the
earth's crust that developed dur
ing the last period of mountain
building. AS . result, many of
the zones lie along great mountain
ranges.
Japan is the region on the earth's
surface where earthquakes are like
ly to occur with greatest fire.

an average Of three quakes a day

faint and harmless.

IF there is an election andS if
Il James j. Walker runs, it is going
to be fancy. 1t will provide the
residents of New York with a chance
to vote for the defendant, the ac-
cuser, and the judge all on the same
ticket. This concept is not my own,
but that of Morris Hillquit.
But this is no fantasy from any
partisan point of view, but the eX-
act and literal factual lineup. Mr..
Walker has announced that he
wishes to run for the sake of vindi-
cation. But vindication from whom?
He resigned under fire upon the
plea that Governor Franklin D.
Roosevelt was conducting the hear
ing in a way prejudical to his rights
anG in violation of all decent sense
Of justice. And yet James j. Walker
purposes to run as the ally and
ticket mate of Franklin Roosevelt.
In other words, the argument, as
I understand it, from the Walkerian
angle, that Governor Roosevelt,
having been inept, unfair, and BIZ
ased as the ruler over single prob
lem, now should be set up as the
executive having jurisdiction over
the vital concerns of the millions.

Wrath Of Hurricanes,
Earthquakes and VoIca-
noes.
MAN builds skyscrapers that
WI tower into the sky. He sails
above the clouds in the airplane
and the airShip. But occasionally
nature reminds him that she still is
supreme.
He has not learned TO conquer the
earthquake or the volcano, the hur-
ricane or the tornado. When ma
ture stirs restleSSly, man is remind
ed of how puny he really is.
The news Of the last two weeks
tells the story The hurricane that
swept the West Indies, centering
most of its wrath on Puerto Rico,
killed about 200 persons. injured
about 1000 more and made $4,000
homeless.
A severe earthquake on the PEN
inSula of Chalkidiki, Greece, killed
more than 300 and injured 1000.
Two hundred refugees who took
shelter on the Island Of Amodiana
are reported to have lost their lives
when that island was swallowed by
the sea following the quake.
1t is probable that the island did
not sink, but was swept by a tidal
wave caused by the quake.
September is the second month
this year that nature has shown
her reStlesSneSS.
In April of this year, a number
of volcanoes in the Andes noun
tains came to life, darkening the
sky with smoke and showering
South American cities with ashes.
1t was on April IL that the vol
canoes along 400-mile strip of the
mountain region of Chile became
active. Light earthquakes accom-
panied the volcanic display.

NEW KENSINGTON, Pas tx
hundred workers were present at
mass meeting held in New Kensington
on Friday to protest against the re-
lief given out by the City Welfare
and to demand cash relief.
For the last few months, the relief
has been so bad as to be no better
than no relief at all. Families have
been receiving basket of food each
week, the contents amounting to from
6oc to 90c at the most.
The unemployed are especially in
censed by the steady degradation of
food received. The bread given out
in the baskets must be months old,
as,it is green and grey with mold and
age; it is absolutely impossible to eat.
Very little else is given DIN the weekly
basket; meat is so seldom handed out
that it amounts to a tremendous nov
city when it is seen. The baskets also
contain some celery, onions, bits of
cabbage, and occasionally, potatoes.
There is active discrimination
against single unemployed workers;
they get no more than 81 week.
To Go to City Council
A committee of Is was elected at
the meeting to go to the City Coun-
Gil and present the demands Of the
mass meeting. These demands were
for cash relief of So a week for each
