Roads to Recovery

TN speaking of three roads to re-
Il covery President Hoover said
with elOquence and wisdom:
The first is the highway of CO.
operation among the nations,
thereby to remove the distractions
to world consumption and rising
prices. This road leads to real
stability, to expanding standards
of living, to a resumption of the
march of progress by all peoples.
1t is today the immediate road to
the relief of agriculture and I'M
employment not alone for us, but
the entire world"
In contrast with this, President
Hoover spoke of the theory of ma
tional isolation as "a long road of
readjustment into unknown and
uncertain fields"
Anybody who had left the Wal
dorf at this point would have felt
justified in reporting that Pres
ident Hoover had come out
strongly for international CO.
operation and against isolation.
But Presidents sometimes see their
own shadows and crawl back
again, and Mr.. Hoover was not
content to let his statement stand.
He had to add Immediately after
these remarks on the uncertainty
of an isolation policy; But it
may be necessary if the first way

It Seems to Me i. :. by Haywood Broun
TTERBERT HoovER's farewe

HERBERT HOOVER'S farewell
L L address, or, If you like, his
Lincolns birthday speech, is one
Of the most curious documents
which ever came from the mind
of a most puzzling President.
I suppose few of our chief ex-
ecutives ever have been hurt more
by the pull Of politics 1t hardly
can be denied that the admins
tration now drawing to a close
was a disappointment even to it's
friends.
Even with full consideration
for the difficulties which Mr..
Hoover faced, there still is the
fact that his executive capacity
diminished once he gained power.
FIe couldn't make up his mind.
He seems to have lived in con-
slant dread of being flunked out
by the electoral college.
And even in his farwel address
the mark of political pressure
still remains in the words Of
President Hoover. He still talks
like a man running for something.
Or, perhaps more accurately,
away from something.

Every Day Religion
: BY DIR. JOSEPH FORT NEWTON

TN the lovely Barrie play, Little
4 White Bird" a man is waiting
in the street for news Of the birth
Of his child. Many thoughts are
in his mind as he thinks of his
wife. Had he ever been unkind
to her? Or if not actually I'm
kind, might he not have been
little kinder?
Then follow these golden words:
Shall We make new rule of life
from tonight: Always try to be
little kinder than is necessary"
"A commonplace" some one will
say. In words it is perhaps; but
in deeds, it is not too common in
this hard world. For kindness is
not merely kindly feeling, it does
things. It is an active, not pas
sive virtue, not a soft, luxurious
flow of emotion which ends with
itself.
1t is no vague, soppy sentiment
talism which loses itself in signs
of sympathy, and helps nobody.
Such sloppy sentiment is sham
substitute for the reality.

a ND that certainly weasles
L n most of the yolk out of the
declaration in favor Of interna-
tional cooperation, because it is
a statement that to. bring about
cooperation we first go deeper
into non-co-operation.
The best way to reach "the i'm
mediate road to recovery is to
turn your back on it and run for
dear life in the opposite direc-
ton.
And, again, it hardly can be
said that President Hoover did
very much to aid the imitation of
international amity when he de-
clared, st trust the American peo-
pie will not be misled or inf1u-
enced by the ceaseless stream of
foreign propaganda that cancel
lation of war debts would give
the international relief and rem
edy."
In other words, cooperate with
the nations of the world, but
never put an ounce of faith in any
of their declarations. President
Hoover is all for relief mot alone
for us, but the entire world"
And he suggests that we bring
about this common service in a
common cause by hanging our
clothes on a hickory limb.

asked.
He would have nothing to do
with painful, punctilious moral
ity which tries to go just as far
as it must and not a step farther.
He was against the nicely calcu-
lated more or less, and all for the
golden extra.
For it is what a man will do
without being forced to do it
which is the real test Of what he
is. We hardly can do any duty
if we try to do no more than we
have to. A daughter said to her

a good man, but you seldom are
kind, and you rarely are just
All of us know the type-a miser
in kindness is the meanest miser
of all To do only as much as
custom or decency prescribes is
hardly kindness at all.
Aye, what a world it would be
if all Of us were little kinder
than is necessary, even for one
day. 1t is so simple, so easy, for
having gone so far we might go
just little farther; it would lift
the burden Of the world and bring

selves, but what we do for others,

MOST medical investigators
1Y4 ascribe the frequency Of res
piratory diseases in winter to the
lessened resistance of the mucous
membranes Of the nose and
throat. resulting from frequent
changes of the quantity of blood
circulating in the membranes.
The absence Of moisture from
the mucous membranes because of
constant drying in rooms that
are too hot, without sufficient
amounts of moisture in the air,
also is believed to lower resist
ance.
In cold weather there is ten
cency to overcrowding and lack
Of ventilation, which means great
er likelihood Of infection from one
person to another, and this may
be as significant in the increase
Of coughs, colds, and other res
piratory diseases during the win
ter as the changes actually due
to the lowered temperature itself.

Blood Sugar

THE influx of adrenalin causes
Il an increase in the sugar con-
tent of the blood. Blood sugar is
the most favorable source of
energy for the muscles.
Hence by making more sugar
available to the muscles, the
adrenalin enables the. muscles to
show greater power.
At the same time the process of
digestion temporarily is suspended.
Blood is withdrawn from the
digestive organs and sent to the
organs which require it mostly at
the moment, namely, heart, lungs,
and central nervous system.
In other words, the adrenalin
enables the body either to put up
a better fight or to run away with
more speed, both reactions which
tend to preserve the continuity of
existence.
Each adrenal gland consists of
two portions, a central portion
known as the medullary portion
and an outer layer or covering,
known as the corteX.
Adrenalin, sometimes called cpl
nephrin, is secreted by the
medulla. Less is known about the
secretion of the cortex.
Certain investigators believe
that Addisons disease, a disease
characterized by the appearance
of a brown pigment in the skin, is
due to failure Of the cortex to
secrete its hormone.
Adrenalin normally is present
in the blood in the ratio Of about
one part in 100000 But it is
highly important, serving to keep
the muscular tone and the blood
pressure normal.

SCIENCE.
Man Has Fight Glands
BY DAVID DIETz

XXTHEN an unusual situation
W arises, demanding fight or
flight, or other extraordinary
muscular activity, two little
glands, the size of a mans thumb,
release his store of reserve energy.
How this mechanism, so
essential to life, works, has been
discovered through researches of
Professor Walter B. Cannon and
his associates at Harvard medical
school.
The glands are the adrenal
glands, located one upon each kid
ney. They weigh about four grams
each.
In the early days of mans his
tory, sudden emergencies called
for one of two actions-fght or
flight. Situations still arise which
in one way or another make de-
mands upon the body of unusual
muscular effort.
The adrenals, DR.. Cannon be-
lieves, enables man to meet these
emergencies.
He and his associates point out
that under the stress of various
emotions, as for example, anger,
fear or pain, the adrenal glands
are stimulated to action.
They pour into the blood stream
an added quantity of secretion or
hormone known as adrenalin.
1t is the adrenalin which does
the trick. AS DR.. Cannon points
out, the adrenalin calls out re-
actions in the body which are
helpful to it in meeting the
emergency.

Modifying Clauses

TINE speech contains some
l. states of economic truth, but
in almost every instance a modify
ing clause follows within the next
two paragraphs. For instance,
Mr.. Hoover made an excellent plea
for international eccpomic CO.
operation when he spoke Of Europe
and said:
"Those nations in turn, sought
to protect themselves by erecting
barriers higher and higher until
today, as the result of such f1nan-
cial breakdown, we are in the pres
ence of an incipient outbreak of
economic war in the world with
the weapons Of deprecated cur
rencies, artificial barriers to trade
by quotas, reciprocal trade agree
mentS, determinations, national
istic campaigns to consume home
made goods and score of other
tactics, each of which can be justi-
fed, for the moment, but each of
which adds to the worlds confus-
ion and dangers"
This is a curious statement to
come from the President who
signed the Smoot- Hawley tariff
bill, and it becomes even more
curious when after minutes in
ternal Mr.. Hoover added:
1--WE ourselves will be forced to
defensive action to protect our
selves unless this mad race is
stopped. We must not be the major
victim of it all"
In other words, President Hoover
seems to be saying that economic
warfare is menace to the whole
world, that increased tariff bar
riers are a part of that warfare
and that to end this confusion and
strife We must increase our own
schedules. 1t is not unlike war
time psychology.
Everybody admits that war is a
dreadful thing, but your own side
is always right and it was the
other fellow who started it.
OF course, Mr.. Hoover is not
the creator of the strange psy-
chology, which holds that an
American tariff is a wholesome
and helpful thing for the peace
and prosperity of the world, but

the custom frequently to excuse GER
tain types of incidents in motion
pictures on the ground that a pic
ture as whole, including especially
its concluding statements, breaches
a moral lesson.
Psychologists are convinced that
an exciting robbery, an amorous love

concluding words of the picture. To
a child the complete effect is not
apparent as it is to a person of ma

The Iowa psychologists say when

questionable romatic episodes,
the resultant effects on that indi-

can be nothing but baneful and de-

DEATH OF A CRIMINAL

TITS a common statement that crime doesn't
i pay: and sometimes, when one reads
about the money that gangsters and stick-up
men have to spend, the statement sounds
rather silly. But every so often something
happens to indicate that in the long run it is
true, after all.
The other day, for example, an aged dere-
let was killed by a taxi in New York. Taken
to the morgue, he was identified as one John
Cunningham with string of aliases; and
the interesting part about it is that the man
used to be one of the most notorious and sue
cessful of American burglars.
He started out in this career fifty years
ago, and for years he was known as the
Boston Burglar" His exploits were many and
lucrative; at one time the police called him
Americas best-dressed burglar.
And he wound up penniless and ragged
old man, a typical Bowery bum, who died
without money in his pockets or food in his
stomach!
