wv Summer" and Some OF
- the days this week
have been a good indication that
summer is really here. The
principle topic of conversation
with those who go to the near
by resorts for the summer
months seems to be about when
the exit will take place. A few
families have already made
themselves comfortable in their
cottages for the next three
months, but the general moving
will be done when the children
are out of school. Remember
ing the heat of last year, and a
promised repetition of it this
year, those who can will want
to establish themselves at the
shore before that time comes.

v Milford had a lofty visitor on
Tuesday morning. The graceful
dirigible Los Angeles" passed
over the town about ten o'clock.
The schools, in order to have
every pupil see this modern
conveyor, sounded the fire
alarm and the buildings were
emptied in less time that it takes
to tell about it, while they all
had the thrill of being close to
one of the marvels of the age.
The thought must have come to
most of the 'uploOkers" to won
der just how we looked to those
who tioated by apparently ON
wings. We know that their Wis
ion, as far as space goes, was
broadened, and a picturesque
ness beyond earthly compare
was enjoyed.

formidable navy, it brought JOY to
the hearts of the people.
For more than a year after the
first rumblings were heard in this
and other countries, France did not
feel the full effects of the cataclysm
which had befallen the world. She
was very self satisfied and even a
little arrogant. Pleas for arms re-
duction fell on polite but deaf ears.
But now the situation has changed.
France has been spending more than
any other nation on national defense
and during the last two years the
financial shoe has begun to pinch
She no longer feels able to feed the
national vanity as represented by her
military supremacy. At last she is
willing to consider the pleas which
have run through the world for sew
eral years. Internal pressure has
made action necessary.
The French proposal may be good
Or bad but that is not the point. LAS

Germany Votes First

America is SO engroSSed in its own
coming election that 1t has given lit
tie attention to the vote which will
be cast in Germany tomorrow, two
days before Americas own citizens
60 to the polls.
The result of our own election will
be important both to the people of
this country and to the world, but
historians may record that in Ger
many as being the more important.
German politics today are in such
precarious position that the election
may presage basic change in the
structure of one of the worlds lead
ing nations.
Hitlers Nazis are battling for con-
troll and indications are that they
will retain the largest bloc of votes
in the Reichstag. The Communists
arc expected to gain as result of
the stresses and strains to which the
Fatherland has been subjected in re-
cent years. Many times Germans
have gone to the voting booths in
hopes of bringing about e change for
the bette, but there have been no
appreciate results. Instead the pic
ture has grown from dark to black
and Communism is nurtured more
rapidly by despair than by any other
clement.
The present Won Papen govern
ment rules by decree and the Reichs-
tag has been unable to act having
been dissolved before it could i'm
peach the government. Competent
observers, and these include persons
not given to rearing straw men or
seeing ghosts, fear that anything may
happen in Germany.
AS America prepares to go to the
polls on Monday it will read with in
terest what the people of Germany
did the preceding day.

Rewards

1t is the habit of our nature to
work in the expectation of reward
and it is a law of nature that every
deed brings some reward in it's train
This reward, to be sure, is not al
ways the one we seek; but since no
thought or act can be wholly iso-
lated, it brings consequences that re-
pay it for good or i'll.
The final reward sought by all
men is happiness. This aim is OBJ
scured and confused too often be-
cause men set up a lesser object
which they believe to be the last
key to the happiness they seek. This
may be the reward of financial sue
cess, of fame, or freedom from re-
sponsibility or obligation, but these
arc no more than formulas out of
which they hope to derive happiness.
He who has the wit to place hap
plnesS somewhere within his reach
is most likely to attain it. Fortu-
nately, it is never far away from
any human life, unless man HIM
self chooses long and devious path
to it. 1t is the universal reward Of
fered TO mankind and given accord
irg to comprehensive laws.
The wise man will first see it
clearly as his object and then, from
human wisdom and experience, learn
the laws of achieving it..

BARE KNEES AND GOOD
HEALTH

Correspondent sends in a clipping
and asks for my view Of the subject.
The clipping purports to be the views
of several world famous authorities,
whose names are not divulged. One
of the coy authorities is quoted as
follows:
Bare knees in damp weather
presuppose to arthritis. People
have enough trouble in their
knees without exposing them to
any more
Have you ever noticed that we
eminent medical authorities do NOT
qualify our arbitrary assertions by
the clause lin my opinion?" We go
on the good old plan of pronouncing
it SO. That was enough to make it SO
in the halcyon days
Another well known but uniden-
titled authority, divulges the secret
of his success in practice. He says
that when parents bring a child to
him he always advises covering the
child knees, as he would rather err
on the side of safety. BY the same
logic this gentleman would probably
advise against all ventilation, lest a
draft reach the child, and he would
prohibit all rough play in order to
protect the little darling against
stone bruises. skinned shins and
punches in the nose.
The prize authority" of the lot
divests himself of this one:
Doctors have noted an in
crease in cases of inflammation
of the bladder among those who
dress scantily. This is thought
to be due to chilling Of the low
er parts of the body"
This hypothetical authority"
makes use of the old device-he re-
lapseS into the passive or furtive
mode. He doesn't say Il think" or
even I'VE doctors think" but "it is
thought" For all you know all the
thinking may be done by the office
boy or the janitor. You're just a
dumb customer and if it ever does
occur to you to wonder who does the
thinking you are too timid to call the
bluff.
There is no scientific evidence that
bare knees in damp weather predis-
pose to any disease or in any way
imperil health.
The clinical, actual o. everyday OBJ
servation is that barring the knees is
a healthful practice whenever the
child Cor adult finds it comfortable.
Years ago, when women began to
follow the fashion of scanty attire.
some Of our best medical authorities
Il have named one of them here in
this connection) deplored the fash
ion on the ground that it would SUBJ
Ject young women to greater danger
of bronchitis, pneumonia and tuber-
culosis. They subsidized at length
when unanswerable statistics proved
that these affections are less preva-
lent among young women today than
ever before; even tuberculosis is not
more prevalent among young women
than 1T is among young men.
Whatever our medical theories OF
the past may have been-and these
old theories are the popular belief,
OF today-fair consideration Of the
lacts leads to the memorable conclu-
sion that nudity, nakedness, expos
ure OF the skin to sunshine and the
air Is always healthful II it is COM
Portable. II any such exposure is un.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Baby'S Head Is Bent

Son 4 1-2 months old was pre-
mature and remained in hospital
three months. In hospital they al
ways kept him on his right side and
I have thought that was correct, but
a week or two ago I noticed that his
head Is rather one-sided. Will this
right itself In time?-(Mrs. r. D.
McC.)
Answer-So far as the symmetry
OF head is concerned it doesn't mat
ter which side baby sleeps on. But
train your baby to sleep on either
side or rather don't cultivate neurotic
adherence to any particular position
for rest. Such lopsidedness is quite
common in infancy and spontane-
ously correctS itself, if the baby gets
his open air and sunlight, sound
nutrition, and especially his vitamin
rationS.
BruiSe Marks
Why does a person show bruise
marks from slight touches or pressure
Is there any way to prevent an un-
slightly mark like that after a Slight
bump? MRS. S. A. L.

Vets in the West

Six states will vote on proposals to
repeal the prohibition clauses in
their state constitutions at the elec-
ton next Tuesday and, strangely
enough, all but one OF them lies west
Of the Mississippi river.
That single exception is Michigan
in which the prohibition ssue has
provided bitter battle-ground for the
last few years.
A seventh state, Louisiana, will
vote on proposal to repeal the state
prohibition enforcement law, which
makes the same definition of in
toxicating liquor as the Volstead act
and is designed to follow the leader
ship of the federal government on
this question.
In addition to Michigan and North
Dakota, states where voters are be.
ing asked to ballot OH the constitu.
tional issue are Washington, Oregon
California and Colorado.
A few years ago the wet campaigns
were conferred largely in the east
This election year they have aban-
doned the east and have turned their
attention to the west. The entire
Pacific coast region finds in it a
problem for local decision.
Returns from these states will be
watched with interest by vets and
drys alike. The returns will give q
pretty broad hint as to whether pro-
hibition Is passing out of the picture

here to stay, as the drys assert.

tAUAAAN AAAAA N~AS
New York, Nov. 5.-From the high
ways and byways of America the
young hopefuls of music, with a bit
of star dust in their hair, now come
thronging to the big town. The
dream of debuts in New York clings
to each; the fever of hearing and
seeing everything runs high.
In Town Hall and the smaller con-
cert places of Carnegie Hall; in
Mecca Temple and elsewhere are
presented the efforts of these young
folks who have been cropping toward
New York for years. In the upper
Sixties and early Seventies, where
studio apartments allow the tuning
of fiddles and the running of scales
and the do-re-mis of the contraltoS.
sopranos and tenors, there is much
rehearsing.
DEBTS AND DEBUTS
Not SO many years ago, there was
more of a racket in the musical
debut" than exists today. Few now
have the coin to stage the somewhat
wistful premieres of yesteryear
Whatever the depression prices
may be, it used to cost 81 $50 to put
On an act in Carnegie Hall. And
some $500 to $3.50 was the price of
doing a Chopin program in Town
Hall. In Carnegie, with a sell-out at
ordinary prices, one might expect a
$5,5OO:return.
