SneerS at Virtues

THE point is that this country
i reeks with hypocrisy, greed and
fake.
The crimes Of violence, at which
we profess to be shocked, represent
a mild menace compared to. those
of deception.
Ever since we tried to make
clerks honest by installing cash
registers. banks safe by demanding
collateral in place Of character,
politics straight by a lot of foolish
regulations, we have been in hot
water.
Wasn't anybody decent to the
Lindberghs?" asks the New York
Evening Post. Yes, indeed, millions
Of people, who kept their mouths
shut and their eyes open, but not
the chiselers and takers who took
the promise of cash and immunity
as an open invitation to come for
ward and do their worst.
We are dealing with a curious
philosophy Of life all along the
line, a philosophy which condones
the commercialization of about
everything, which sets much store
by artificial and mechanical RENE
dies, which sneers at the Ten Com
mandments and old-fashioned vir-
tues.

Cheese Is Valuable for It's Calcium

valuable food, and therefore is es-
pecially interesting as a source Of
calcium.
Most cheese products consist of
one-third water, one-third fat, and
one-fourth protein. A pound Of
cheese represents the amount Of
protein and fat available in gall
lon of milk.
There used to be a time when
most cheese was made by farmers
out of the milk developed on the
farm; today practically all Of the
cheese used in this country is
made by factories.
BY use Of machinery and scientific
study, the cheese produced today is
far better cheese than was formerly
available.
Cheese once was considered to be
highly indigestible material. To-
day it has been proved by lab
oratory investigation to be easily

surface finds in Somaliland are
identical with those collected near
Rutbah Wells in the North Arabian
region.
The majority Of the peoples,
modern and historic, of southwest

cephalic (long heads, although in
the region south of the great empty
quarter Of Arabia recently crossed
by Bertram Thomas, the people are

that this desert must have been an
important geographic barrier"
The early history of mankind is

lens facing scholars. Many expedi-
tons now in the field are attempt

Expeditions include those sent
out by the Oriental institute. the

OF course, different cheese prod

that they contain, dependent on the

Just Every Day Sense
"DEGN to train your husbands early, girls" q
By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

ID vises an authority on marriage problems.
This statement is neither original nor startling,
but it holds the nucleus Of tragedy because 1t usually
taken with credulity by the young women to whom
it is addressed dare say 1t has been responsible Tor
thousands of broken homes
The worst mistake girl can make is to start her
marriage of with the idea that she can or should
train her husband The thing never works Men resent
that attitude and don't blame them.
First they are derisive, then FESTIVE, and finally
they become rebellious and the first thing you know
they've flown and the lady with the big stick IS lett
waiting for somebody else to boss
Personally, I think the most unpleasant trait pos
sessed by women has created by this silly idea
that it is every womans duty to make over her hus-
band. From misunderstanding, wife will start to
regulate and ruin her children, and by and by she
develops into professional community reformer and
then she's lost forever the ranks of common sense
and tolerance
HUSBANDS and wives, by living together over a
period Of years do alter each others habits,
manners and ideas but this is done only because Of
the subtle influence OF long companionship and
community of purpose, and not by one Individual S
assuming an attitude Of dominance the other.
Unreasonable injury has come to men and women
and marriage from this general uplft complex that
has been bred in by the utterly false idea that
they are much better than and therefore IN
duty bound to improve the male.
The sweetest thing about men Is their BELIEF IN
the excellence Of the women they choose for wives,
and their resignation to wives they after mar
rage.
How shameful it is that we should teach our girls
to regard husbands as II they were bunch OF edu-
Gated seals that win jump at food and change their

Enough Is Too Much

THE afternoon wore on. Again
Il the children came out to sing
but this time they did MY Coun-
try, It's Of Thee" A man spoke about
the farmers and said that they had
a hard time and something ought
to be done for them.
If there was no aid forthcom-
ing, he predicted that all the agri-
culturists would go broke and that
that would be panic.
And now" said the chairman,
Il have an unexpected treat for you.
Mrs. Donald Terwillinger, who did
not think she could be present, &C
tually has arrived. and she Is going
to speak to us Of prohibition, and
after that I shall ask you all to
remain in your places, for the school
children have been kind enough to
promise me that they will sing once
more before we close our exercises. y

Curtis Not Original

VXTHEN it comes to cold-blooded
w taking, this man. John
Hughes Curtis, may be without a
peer. but as a misguided human
being who believes in the magic of
publicity, and who looks on cash
as a cure-all, no matter how OBJ
tanned, ne is neither exceptional
nor original.
1t is true that he imposed on
suffering parents. but that is hardly
more reprehensible than imposing
on widows and orphans.
Curtis sold fairy tales, while War
Kreuger sold forged securities.
AS to the lying and deceit in
volved, you can get more or less
genuine imitation OF it in any con-
tested divorce case, or gangster kill
ing. If that is not enough, you can
get a splendid imitation at the Sea-
bury investigation.

Editor TimeS-People have the
habit, in discussing the present
crisis Of capitalism, to refer fire.
quently to previous periods of de-
preston for light and guidance in
the perplexities of this one. In the
strained conditions of 1920, of 1907,
of 1893, and of 1873, they attempt
to discover analogies for the crisis
now at hand.
The reason for this futile attempt
at analogy is obvious. AL these
foregoing periods of economic storm
and stress were succeeded by years
Of fat and lush prosperity. In that
circumstance, our popular sages try
to find comfort and reinsurance
Ais well that ends well, they
reason.
Hard times always come to an
end; hard times always are followed
by good times; this is an infallible
law, so let us bide our time and wait
The storm soon will be over, and
boom days viii follow quickly.
This is the ostrich-like optimism
with which most popular discussions
Of the depression end. It is typical
specimen Of the "wishful thinking
which characterizes the middle-class
thought processes OF our time.
It may be summarized in this
fashion: We hope conditions viii
improve; therefore. they must I'M
prove. This produces a very COM
forting conclusion to people whose
incomes and investments are shrink
ing daily, but it has no foundation
in fact or In logic.
The truth is that the present
crisis Of capitalism is totally unlike
all preceding periods Of strain In
one very important and vital re
spect. While preceding crises were
purely internal and for the mosi
part deliberately engineered, TIA

Two Possibilities

WHEN the climate became arid,
w however. a change Of life was
necessary, Field points out. He be-
lieves that the inhabitants Of the
region were faced with two posi-
bilitieS-either to become wander
ing nomads, or else to hunt for new
fertile regions in which TO settle.
Il suggest that those who refused
TO face the stern regions OF nomadic
life divided into two or three groups
and that they moved eastward TO
the Fertile Crescent (the area
watered by the Euphrates and
the Tigris westward in Palestine
and eventually to the Nile or pos
sibly in a southwesterly direction TO
Somaliland and eventually into
British East Africa" he says.
Il believe that Kish and other
Mesopotamian cities we're founded
by Proto-Semites. a long-headed
race then in late stone age phase
or culture, beside the inviting banks
OF the ever-fiowing river Euphrates.
These stragglers were 'smitten
with weapons at the dawn Of the
fourth millennium before the Chris
tian era. by powerful invaders, who
conquered and enslaved them.
These conquerors were the
Sumertians, who are believed TO
have been racially as we'll as cultur-
ally distinct from the Senites. The
Sumerians are thought TO have
been brachyceyphalic (round heads
and the evidence at present avail
able points to this conclusion.
This theory also accounts for the
paucity Of brachyceyphalic skulls in
the lower levels at Kish."

What caused the great famine
In ireland in 1345, and how long
did IL last?
The famine Of 1851 was started
by a blight that destroyed the pota-
to crop which was the principal
food crop. It was accentuated by
the tardy action Of the British gov
eminent in failing to allow the
Irish ports to be opened for the free
entry Of foodstuffs. America sent
two ship loads of provisions, and the
Irish residents Of the United States
sent upward of 100000 to their
relatives and friends in Ireland. The
famine was not relieved until after
the harvest Of 1847, and by 184S it
had terminated.
