HEALTH
Heart Ailments Are on the Increase

found in association with high blood
pressure, diabetes, gOut and similar
disturbances.
When there is high blood pres
sure with obesity, much can be ac-
complished by providing a reducing
diet. There is frequently a drop in
blood pressure which parallels the
loss of weight.
Many physicians believe that pa
tients with such conditions should
do without smoking, at least for a
trial period, to find out whether or
not attacks are less during this rer-
iod.
There are many ways of treating
this condition with sedative drugs
and with various preparations af-
fecting the circulatory system.
Physical treatment including
baths, perspiration and light mas
sage may be used. A physician who
is thoroughly conversant with the
case frequently may bring about
great benefit through prescribing
proper measures.

Need Broader Views

HOWEVER, while scientists and

kind with this new equipment they
failed to give thought to the effect
which it would have upon the lives
and character of men, Kintner says.
'The result is that the conse-
quences of our progress are now de-
manding a reckoning" he says. ITO
satisfy that demand, tomorrow'S en-
gineer must be more highly special
lied in technical training, but must
have broader foundation of gen.
eral education than his brother of
yesterday"
But Kintner is hopeful of the fu-
ture.
There Is no rational reason why
the skill which developed our pres
ent production possibilities can not
be made to create new uses for in
dustrial output and build up a world
demand that will keep our produc-
ton, men and machinery in opera
tion," he says.
Kintner predicts the new engineer
will take broader view and acquire
better station in life by rising up
and taking rank with the other
learned professions
He will be both willing and glad
to assume his full duties as a citi-
zen and dissatisfaction with exist
ing conditions will stimulate his
interest in political affairs.
THE best efforts of all good citi-
zens are needed to make our coln-
try safe place to live and do busi-
ness" he says.

Time Not to Be Lost

The house should have passed before now the
Capper wheat BILL or some like measure making fed
eral farm board grain available to the hungry obless
But if it is the sincere desire of agriculture commit
teemen for information before they act on this
proposal, they should, of course, be given it.
Lengthy hearings are, in estimation, unneces-
sary; but assuredly the committee and the house
should have sufficient information before vote is
taken.
There is no disagreement or denial of the acute
need of the hungry for this wheat or some other
food There is general agreement that the farm
boards wheat should be consumed instead of being
permitted to remain in elevators at large cost to
the government, and, perhaps at risk of deteriora-
ton.
The controversy in the house now seems to be over
whether the board should be reimbursed, and over
how the wheat should be distributed.
The first question be answered quickly and
concisey In view of the fact that the boards actual
losses far into the millions it should be given
opportunity to make fair bookkeeping entry to its
credit against the free wheat distributed But to
talk of appropriating actual cash to reimburse the
board is silly It is important also that congress be
assured that the wheat actually will reach the
hungry.
1t should have this information we believe; it can
be had quickly. And the house should lose no time
in providing this simple and workable means of feed
ing American citizens who are in want.

Artificial OPTIMISM

OBVIOUSLY some of the op-

Not only bankers, but the govern
ment wanted pep letters.

on commission.
1t was a case Of salesmanship in
all essentials, with preliminary
efforts directed toward building up
a proper psychological background.
That school of banking which
rates collateral above character had
its way.
The operation served to sustain
many a rotten regime in Latin
America and some rather dirty
politics in Europe.
Now that it has come to a dis
astrous, if not a dead end, one can
not help wondering if the outside
world would not have been just as
well off without all the American
money.
There can be no doubt that this
country would have been much
better off.

Supply Scars Too High

II INTNER traces present Difficult
IN ties back to the days of the
World war.
To meet wartime demands pro-
duction was jumped up 400 to 1000
per cent, he says.
Then peace and Cancelled orders
cut production back to the pre-war
normal. leaving machinery, build
ings, even whole plants utterly use
less.
Steady increases in production
from 1923 to 1929 restored much of
this wartime equipment to opera
ton, he says, but because demand
did not increase at the same rate
we have had to slow up until sup
ply and demand could be readjust-
ed and the manufacturer and con-
sumner could get in step.
One hundred years ago such a re-
adjustment would not have been
necessary because most of our peo-
pie were farmers and self sufficient.
Each family was producing its own
food, clothing, furniture and tools.
Since that early day. Kintner
points out. we have achieved the
capacity for quantity production
and we have acquired the ability
to discover and develop more and
better goods and services.

FRENCH WAR AIMS
January IL


ON Jan. u, 1918, the French
" chamber of deputies adopted
a resolution approving the British
and American war aims.
Previous to this, on Jan. 5, Lloyd
George had set forth the British
war aims, and on Jan. 8 President
Wilson had set forth his famous
fourteen points" as the American
war aims.
Approval of both of these state
ments had rung through the press
of America, England and France,
and had been denounced officially
and by the press of the central
powers.
On Dec. %, 1917, NJ. Pichon, as
minister of foreign affairs in the
Clemenceau government, had spoken
in a debate in the French cham
Der defining Frances attitude to-
ward Russia and the other issues
of the war.
The action of the French cham

Graduates of the coast guard
academy enter service in the United

rank with second lieutenants in the

For the Worlds Sake

THE theory on which most of the
Il selling of foreign securities
rested was that we were not only
making good investments, but help
ing to promote business at the same
time.
The average buyer was made to
feel that he was not only providing
a good income for himself, but that
he was assisting other people to do
things and build things which would
enlarge trade all along the line.
He was made to feel that he was
contributing to the rehabilitation of
Germany, the reconstruction of
France, or the Improvement of Lat
in-America and, above all else, that
he was making financial conditions
throughout the world a little more
secure.

SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETZ-

Engineers Must Consider the
LatOs Of Supply and De-
nand as Well as of OlOn
Science, Says EGpert.
ENGINEERS who ushered in the
II marvels Of the machine age
must now turn their attention to
the economic ills which came upon
the heels of the mechanical marvels.
This opinion. expressed by S. NJ.
Kintner, vice-president in charge of
engineering of the WESTINGHOUSE
Electric and Manufacturing Com
pany, matches the opinion recently
expressed by DR.. Arthur D. Flynn
of the Engineering Foundation.
DR.. Flynn called upon engineers
to assume world leadership.
Kintner. viewing a more imme-
diate problem. wants scientists and
engineers to devote their attention
to the problem of supply and de-
mand.
Just as engineers and scientists
have solved the worlds problems of
production, 1t becomes the obligation
OF those same leaders in develop
ment to help restore the economic
balance of supply and demand which
has been so lopsided during the last
two years" he says.
To-day We stand at the close OF
period for which we have been
trained as engineers" he says.
The next period, the one in
which we must regain and retain
our business balance, will require an
engineer who even is more of a
specialist, but who has wider
background of culture, psychology
and economies"

CuIpritS Get Off Easy

TINE United States has lost

Those most responsible for such
situation are suffering compare

The real burden is being borne
by those who have lost their jobs,
their homes and their nest eggs,
who have nothing left but bitter
memories.
If anything, the indirect loss has
caused more havoc than the direct.
The Shrinkage of available capt.

creasing strain on credit, the con-
tinued necessity of retrenching have
confronted millions of Americans
with problem they never faced,

much of the problem they never

SQuandering to Blame

XXTE comfort ourselves with the
w thought that this is a
worldwide depression, and it is,
but largely because of the unwise
way in which the surplus wealth of
this country has been squandered.
Beyond enabling France to accu-
mulate Stupendous gold reserve
and helping certain corrupt regimes
to remain in power, our liberal
buying of foreign securities has
done few people any good, while it
has done us irreparable harm.
We are told now that the prob
lem is political, that statesmen
muSct get us out of the mess into
which we we're led by financiers.
That is probably true, but mainly
because so much of the money was
loaned to political crowds for po-
litical purposes.

But I do have an idea of my own.
L should like to see every man in
America privileged, if he so desires.

in front of an open wood fire, with a
good book in his hand, his feet in
a bucket of hot water, with quart

near the mint bed.
