Eating too much Is at all times wrong,
but in such days as these 1t takes on
all the flavor Of o sort OF moral mis-
deed.
Yet countless persons oyerindulge at
the table on Thanksgiving. without CIV
ing much thought to the matter until
afterward.
Then they rued their piggishness with
hot-water bottles, bicarbonate Of soda
and the like.
Perhaps they made resolutions never
to repeat the same performance.
Unless they have more will power
than the majority, however, Christmas
and New Year will find them again
distending their stomachs with more
food than they need. just because it
tastes good and is there. in front OF
them.
Some real determination is necessary,
If the person in average health is to
prevent himself from oVereating upon
special feast days.
There Is a school OF thought In this
matter which declares that since such
periodic gorgings come so seldom, a
little lack of wisdom at these times
will do nobody any harm.
The resulting discomfort Is harm,
however.
There is distinct loss in the lack Of
will power and determination TO en-
force on the appetite the reasoned die
tates Of the mind
Despite the sophisticated attempt OF
many "moderns," as they like to think
Of themselves, to belittle and sneer
down the old-fashioned, year-tried ways
- ~ a
surer In this life than that there Is a
vast difference in many ways between
the physical and the mental life.
And he who attempts to fight the
old fight of man through the centuries,
in order to dominate the lesser nature
by that portion OF his being which has
been called the higher. will discover
that this is warfare quite as exciting
today as ever it was. Nor Is there
much indication that it will ever be
much different from what 1t is today
This Is the battle which every one oi
us pitches into with his holiday meal
II we want to win, We will have TO
keep well In mind the necessities OF the
case.
For food does taste good, no doubt
of 1t in the world.
We are eating creatures, formed FOR
the intake of grub, plain and fancy.
The ceaSeless efforts of humanity to
make the process Of eating something
more than swilling has not in any
sense changed it from purely physical
matter, at bottom.
If we eat to live at the same time
the temptation is to live to eat
Not only does food. rightly prepared
please the taste, but it tickles the fancy,
and augments the power Of a lifetime
habit.
No one who has not come to the self
determination, at some time or other,
to cease eating quite as much as usual,
will have any particular idea of the
strength of this habit.
Commonly folks eat as long as food
tastes good to them for the time being
The chances are thousand to one
that this point Of "saturation" will be
long after the fullest needs Of the sys-
tenn are met.
In other words, most people eat more
than they need, simply because it con-
tinues to taste good to them, and they
see no real reason why they should
cease.
So comes about that commonest OF
spectacles, goodly company eating vast
quantities of foodstuffs. out of all pro-
portion to the necessities in the case.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
A Faithful Friend.

A Faithful Friend.
The shops are glittering as Of old.
The children passing by
Behold the saint who seems to hold
A twinkle in his eye.
Though disappontments may be met
In prophecies and laws,
Nobody has convinced us yet
That there's no Santa Claus.
There's one whose gentle leadership
Is never known to fail.
He greets on his 'customed trip
Despite the icy gale.
And so we're ready to receive
The friend with great applause,
Rejoicing we can still believe
There Is a Santa Claus.

Sherwood Anderson and Upton Sinclair.
A special message addressed to the
thousands Of American engineers and
artisans now in Russia says: Foreign
workers and specialists laboring side
by side with the proletarians Of the
Soviet Union, rally to the banner of
Socialist construction! Forward to new
victories Of technique! Pass on your
knowledge and experience, struggle for
the carrying out of naturalization pro-
pcsals, for cost accounting, for personal
responsibility, for increased productivity
of labor, for Socialist competition!"
China has lost one Of its pillars in
the death of Col. Robert E. Olds Of
Minnesota, former Undersecretary of
State at Washington Following the
opening Of his international law offices
In Paris, Col. Olds was engaged as
special legal adviser of the Chinese
government at the League Of Nations.
During last Winters fight before the
Council over Shanghai and Manchuria
Olds was constantly at the elbow Of Dr..
Yen, China's chief spokesman, and his
advice was highly valued. The late
Minnesotan received much of the credit
for China's astute strategy at Geneva.
Decision Of Vice President-elect and
Mrs. Garner to accept nothing but
highly official social engagements after
March 4 next will badly cramp the
style Of Washington hostesses. Since
time immemoriai. the chief usefulness Of
a Vice President of the United States
has been to dine out on his countrys
behalf. He served as q sort of con-
crete foundation around which, If there
were no other excuse-and usually
there wasn't-a dinner party could be
built for obligation-repayment or some
other purposes. The Tom Marshalls.
the Calvin Coolidges, the Ch7rles
Daweses and the Curtis Cams all lived
valiantly up to the vice presidential
dinner tradition-though Charley Dawes
used to call it bore, with an appropri-
ate adjective.
Boise City, Idaho, isn't famous. It
appears, merely as the home town of
Bill Borah. An admirer Of Walter
johnson, whom Washingtonians will
this week honor with gala testimonial

pilot-pitcher, lately In command Of the
Senators, first won renown at Boise.
He was an Idaho farm boy at the time

Unfortunately, the traff1c casualties have
become SO commonplace as to cause
them to be regarded as inevitable.
whereas they are only SO because Of the
tragic indifference OF drivers to the
risks that are run whenever foot is put
upon the starter The victims are, how
ever, not only these who drive heedlessly
and Illegally, but their innocent pas
sengers and other drivers, and, In turn,
their passengers who. themselves careful
and considerate, are hit by speeders
and rule breakers.
What is the remedy for this shocking,
costly loss of life and property, which
now amounts to more than the
destruction Of the wars Of former times?
The Secretary's citation of the conflict
Of laws and regulations suggests that
the problem is Nationwide, rather than
local. Yet jurisdictional divisions hamper
efforts to secure uniformity. Local
jealousies impede reform. Lenfency of
the courts in the matter Of enforcing
the laws is likewise factor in permit
ting and even encouraging continued
dangerous driving.
The provision Of straight, smooth
highways in every part of the country
should in theory tend to check this
horrible loss of life and manning of
tens of thousands. Yet in fact the
annual toll Of the motor car mounts
as the mileage of practically perfect
driving space increases. Every con-
sideration of public welfare demands
that this problem be attacked as one
OF vital Importance to every inhabitant
in the United States. 1t should not be
abandoned as insoluble. The figures of
motor mortality put 1t in the category
Of national menaces.

johnson ana La roulette or Wisconsin,
among those who supported Roosevelt in
the last campaign, are coming up for
denomination in 1884. Unless the DEM
ocrats in California and Wisconsin go
into the Republican senatorial pri-
maries in those States to help out john
son and La Toilette, they may yet have
a rough time of it getting renominated.
The more immediate concern of the
progressives, however, is the part which
they will play in the Seventy third
Congress, which comes into being after
March 4. They will no longer have a
balance of power. Instead they will
be a minority Of small minority. The
Democrats do not appear to feel that
they owe them anything, now that the
election is all over. Unless they can
persuade some Of the Democratic pro-
gressiveS to join them, and to be pro-
gressives before they are Democrats, it
looks as though the Republican pro-
gressives might have rather a poor
time of it. At present the progressive

Fiske Expedition Is
Recalled by Relics

The Fisk expedition across
North Dakota 68 years ago was
recalled Wednesday by Russell
Reid, superintendent of the state
historical society, as he added two
wagon wheel skeins to the states
collection of historical relics found
by Lawrence DucKhorn of Mar
lnarth.
As the wagon train travelled
across the state in 1864 one of
the wagons turned over In cross
ing Deep Greek, about 10 or IL
miles from Fort Dilts, and in at
tempting to right it, another
wagon overturned. A dozen men
were left there to salvage the
wagons while the expedition con-
tinued on.
A band of Indians then attacked
the small group, killed all but two
Of them and burned the wagons.
The site was located a few years
ago when Duckhorn found two of
the wagon wheel Skeins imbedded
In mud Of the creek.
Reid said Duckhorn attended
the ceremonies initiating Fort
Dilts into the states park system
last week and at that time turned
over to the society the skeins. It
was the same Fisk expedition that
