BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor, Journal Of the American Medi-
cal Association, and Of Hygeis, tho
Health Magazine
In one Of the leading private schools
Of Chicago 432 children attended. All
OF these children were considered by
their parents healthful, and actually
what we mean when we say well" We
think Of a sick child as one with q
fever, nausea, fatigue and weakness.
Sometimes 1t has a cough and an er-
upton on the skin. A sick child does
not want to play.
We think Of q well child as one who
is active, alert and with good hui
NOR. The well child wants to play,
is interested in its daily life, and has
a good appetite.
However, a careful examination Of
children in school indicates that there
are all degrees of illness, from the
child just above the point Of being
sick to the one with super health. OF
the 432 children examined, ~ per cent,
or lit, were found to be in a state Of
poor nutrition, indicated by pallor,
flabbiness, underweight or overweight,
and general lack Of desire to work
and play.
Fifteen per cent, or 65 Of these chill
dren, had defects of the eyes which
had not been given proper attention.
In 100 of the 432 children, or 81 per
cent, the tonsils and the throat were
found to be the subject Of chronic
infection sufficiently severe to de-
mand prompt consultation of the fam
lily doctor.
Because Chicago Is In the goiter
area, Sc of these children, or Is per
cent, were found to have beginning
engagements Of the thyroid gland.

Colonel Hugh L. Cooper, famous
American engineer and president of
the American-Russian Chamber of
Commerce, declared in recent inter-
view that Soviet Russia is poten-
TALLY the biggest market in the world
for American exporters.
In the last eight years, he said,
Russia has bought $4,000 100000 worth
of goods from the outside world, and
has paid the bill without delay and
without the loss of one cent. In the
not distant future Russia's imports
can be expected to total at least 81
900, 100000 year. Furthermore, Rus
sia is eager to have American guild
ance in development Of her national
resources, and is very favorably i'm
pressed with American goods.
You might keep those points in
mind the next time some purblind
patriot" insists that we put an en-
barge on imports of goods from Rus
STA. A market that could make us
completely forget the depression is
waiting for us there-unless we spoil
it by idiotic trade restrictions.

Maintaining Morale

Second only In importance to place
where he can eat and sleep, Is q place
where the jobless and homeless man
can clean up, wash his clothes and
otherwise keep himself as presentable
as possible.
There are many men out of employ
ment and honestly seeking work, who
are compelled to travel the road un-
der most distressing conditions. Hav-
Ing no funds they are forced to un-
dergo hardships with no chance to
indulge in the niceties OF living to
which they have been accustomed in
more prosperous times. Filth and dirt
become unacceptable companions.
II man has no opportunity for
personal hygiene he is badly handi-
capped in his fight for existence, all
too difficult under the most favorable
conditions at the present time. His
greatest and last asset, his self-respect,
can be quickly destroyed.
A place should be provided where
these unfortunate men, should they
care to do so, may take advantage Of
a liberal supply OF soap and water. It
will do much to maintain their morale
and keep up their spirits.

Diets and Prices
New York Times)

Until after supper-time tomorrow
the Mayor of Syracuse, N. Y, with a
devotion to duty more Roman than
Syracusan, will be trying out on him
self the 9-cent-a-day dietary recon-
mended by the municipal health au-
thorities as basis for distributing
home relief. But it is really not nee
essary to wait for the Mayor to COM
plete his test in order to raise a ques-
ton which goes to the heart of the
matter. The difficulty with scientific
food formulas is double one. The
normal man finds himself going away
hungry from the mere act of reading
over the menus which the experts
have drawn up. And the normal
housewife finds herself in violent dis
agreement with the ideal costs laid
down. Concerning the market prices
published by government and private
agencies and eagerly studied by heads
of families, 1t usually turns out that
everybody believes in them except the
butcher and the grocer. They always
remain profound skeptics.
In the Syracuse case the first inn
patient objection that you simply
cannot feed hungry man on cents
worth of food day gives place to
curiosity as one looks over the list Of
items for a weeks meals. In weight
it adds up to close to twenty pounds,
and a ration Of three pounds Of food a
day u.s. at first sight, not an impossible
portion. It does not contain any fresh
milk or natural butter and only one
egg for the week, and is obviously no
diet for growing child. But 1t does
contain bread, potatoes, nearly two
pounds Of beef, pork and lard, but
ter substitutes, evaporated milk, COT
fee, cocoa, salmon and nearly dozen
cereals. vegetables and fruits. It is
obviously much better diet than the
one prevailing for nearly everybody in
Soviet Russia. Yet 1t may turn out
that three pounds of bread, potatoes
meat and vegetables day are not
enough to sustain a man. And re-

should go into an adequate days ra-

know how three pounds Of food may

Whatever is to be said of the So
called rich men of the country, they
created wealth for themselves and In
doing so created wealth for millions OF
others in developing the resources OF
this great country.-Ogden L. Mills,
secretary Of the treasury.

daily press, but we'll show them we
can win a campaign with the newspa-
pers talking the other way.-Dr. Clar-
ence True Wilson, secretary, Method

Morals.
The United States has no imperial
istic designs. It maintains merely
enough force to defend its own terri
tory and its own institutions against
hostile assault-Patrick j. Hurley,
secretary of war.
Old-fashioned neutrality disap-
peared with the signing of the pact

Death BY Homicide Increasing

OVueN Oy xAO1llNAuC IltN1 CStSAAAS9
Citizens of the United States have
reason to be proud Of their record In
advancing the cause of civilization.
However, lest they become too vain
glorious or too obsessed with the
amenities of life, they should take
note Of serious problem now con-
fronting the American people.
Last year $4,000 persons, with an av-
erage age of 81 years. lost their lives
by manslaughter or murder. The
death rate by homicide In the United
States was thrice the average rate for
So leading cities of the world.
According to the Department of
Commerce, the homicide death rate
has doubled since 1900. reaching the
high figure Of loo per 100000 Of pop
ulation in 1881. The consecutive rec
ord for 81 American cities, with as
100000 population, shows . progress
sive rise in the homicide death rate
from 81 per 100000 in 1900 to 1913 in
1881.
Comparison between American and
foreign rates serves but to emphasize
the murder threat hanging over the
head Of every American citizen. In Il
leading Canadian cities the homicide
