A STROLL AFTER DINNER

If is natural to rest for a while after hearty meal. But most of us lead far from natural lives. If we captured. grew or even earned our own food, 1t would still be healthful for us 10 doze after dinner or to stop, look and listen' or to chin-chin about nothing of importance.
 For young persons who work or play hard or get reasonable amount of exercise every day, 1t is healthful to eat at bedtime, ana 10 sleep while digesting the late supper, provided only wholesome foods are taken. In fact bed time snack, say crackers, bread, cookies or sandwich or two, or just bread and butter with brown sugar on or off according to your dis position and ambition, is nearly always advis- able for people who are not already overnour- shed.
 Fattish readers may as well stop here. We are leading up to sad news, doubly sad, for 1t catches good-natured ones coming ana go- ing, or on both the intake and the output For us no post -prandial repose. That way lies cor pulence cardiovascular degeneration, apoplexy and whatnot Stuffy, spurn that dessert and come on out for a stroll
 There are some queer old legends or tradi- tions which we must bend alarmingly at this point. in the light of our newer knowledge of physiology. If anything breaks let us nope IL will be some bad habits.
 First, the one that keeps young people out of the water after meals. Now that Is as quaint as long legged red flannel underwear and just as sensible. Broken down old bodies With ath- eromatous arteries had better remain on dry land and within easy reach of an ambulance
 
 if ones lenticulo-strate artery lets so when one is playing porpoise
 Of course 1t is better not to take hearty meal just before you enter a hard race or game or attempt any strenuous performance. You'll get on better if you take only little quick fuel, sugar of one kind or another. to sustain your muscles. But there is no good reason why normal young persons should not go in swim ming as soon they wish after meal when no strain endurance Is involved.
 One hundred years ago Beaumont famous American physiologist, published his "Experi- ments and Observations the Gastric Juice and the Physiology of Digestion"-Beaumont studied Alexis St Martin, the Canadian with trapdoor in his stomach, the result of a gun shot and among the other things Beau- mont found that gentle exercise facilitates the digestion of food"
 Gentle exercise, mind. Something like a stroll after dinner. Severe exercise. modern physiologists have found, delays digestion. Tests made on normal young men who ran from one to four miles immediately after the meal have uniformly shown this delay. Frances Hillebrandt and Meryl M. Miles (certainy women are achieving distinction in medicine and allied sciences these days) re- ported in the American Journal of Physiology last October that their studies showed that protracted moderate exercise does not inter- fere with digestion. On the contrary these au- thorities suggest that such moderate exercise rather improves digestion by stimulating gen. eral metabolism and augmenting all the bod. | fly functions.
 So beware the after-dinner soma, old fel- lows.

Who Wants to Colonize?

Commander George M. Dyott. famous South American explorer. has just returned from survey of the forest country of Ee- uador made with the possibilities of coloni- zation in mind. He reports the country ex- tremely fertile in most places. He regards it as an excellent place to form communi- ties taken from the worlds over-populated centers. The opening up of new territory. he believes. should not only provide rich farming lands for immigrants now. but should result in few years in new com- merce with the United States or other nations interested in extending their foreign markets.
 And now, who will do the colonizing? The thousands of high school and college graduates who can't get jobs in this eoun- try? The unemployed heads of families in England or the United States? Europeans? Japanes? It is hard to tell. That kind of pioneering and eolonizing is not so pop ular as it used to be. There are many other sparsely inhabited places on the earth today to which the unemployed might be expected to turn. Are we wise. or lazy?

I meant to say that in most cases of goiter the physician bring about cure without operation, by various medical methods, according to the requirements of the individual case. Only few cases of goiter require operation.

RE.wR1TE THIS BILL
(Hartford Times)

AS an instance of unpardOnable carelessness in the drafting of pub- lie law we call attention to "An Act Concerning Cove Pond at Stamford and Darien," now before the legislature and which pro- vides:
 That the city of Stamford is
 hereby empoWered to condemn
 and to use for any purposes
 that the common council of the
 city of Stamford may deem
 proper, all that body of water
 located in the towns of Darien
 and Stamford known as the
 Cove pond.
 The power of eminent domain Is exercised legitimately only to meet certain exigencies in which one is warranted in finding that such re- course is for the public conven- fence and necessity. That is not the exact language, but 1t Is the sub- stance of the law. Not even a city may be granted constitutionally power to condemn lands otherwise than to meet a genuine public purpose. Such public purpose Is not to be confounded with what ever may be the whim of a com mon council.
 How absurd it would be. on its fact, for a mere vote of the com mon council of Stamford. regard less of the purpose of the vote, whether to create a needed mu- nicipal reservoir, or to drain the pond and create a parking place. to take property from. the town of iDarien. This proposal does not hold water for a moment in the light either of common sense or of legal information.
 Granting so glibly the right to "condemn" Is most condemnable and should not be supported in the legislature any more than 1t would be in the courts.

There'll be no more puns about postoffiee pens. Not if Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Silliman Evans has his way about it. Mir Evans is determined that the demo- erats will prove good custodians of the gov- ernment property. He has sent out notices to all postmasters that either they or some responsible employe of the local offices must see to it that pen points are replaced at least once every day if necessary. Postoffiee patrons are entitled to this consideration, he main tains. And don't. forget about removing the dead flies from the ink wells. too. Mir Mir Evans.

NO PAPER COLLEGE WANTED
(Hartford courant)

The Connecticut Board of Edu- cations proposal to create Q paper college, to be called the State Col lege of Education, for the sole pur- pose of using the name in confer ring degrees upon those teachers who complete the summer courses given in the Yale University build cation, has aroused the opposition of President McCracken of Con- necticut Agricultural College and of President Ogiiby of Trinity Col ilege for reasons that seem entirely sound.
 The State Board Of Education argues that at present 1t is empow- cred to confer the degree of Bach elor of Education on those gradu- ntes of the state normal schools who take the summer courses for five years. It points out that 1t is | disadvantage to these teachers In proceeding with their professional

A. Book a Day
by BRUCE CATION
History Of The "B. E. F."

Walter W. Waters, who gained
 an odd sort of fame last summer
 as commander of the "Bonus Ex- peditionary Force," tells the story
 of that ill-starred venture in "B.
 E.. F.-the Whole Story of the
 Bonus Army" It is, quite nat
 urally, a partisan book; but as a
 sidelight on particularly sorry
 chapter in American history 1t is
 worth reading.
 Waters explains-his story, by
 the way, was ''ghosted" for him by William c. White-how the idea
 for the bonus march came to him
 as he paced the streets of Port land, Ore, looking for work. He tells how he organized a little group of ex-service men, how they bummed their way east, how their difficulties with the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at St Louis focused national attention on them, how they got to Washington, established a makeshift camp and settled down for their intensive campaign of
 lobbying.
 All of this, of course, leads up to the final climax, the dispersion of the B. B. F. by the United States army.
 Waters declares that the B. E. F.
 was already dispersing when the troops were called out A plan for gradual withdrawal had been put into effect, he says. and if the men had been left alone all but hand- full would have been out of Wash- ington in a few weeks. He accuses the government of deliberately try- ing to provoke riot, insists that
 the B. E. F. was not in the least
 a revolutionary outfit and scoffs at the charge that it contained any sizeable percentage of criminals. His book, as I say, is partisan and bitter-naturally enough. But you may find 1t illuminating, as well. Published by the John Day Go. "B. E. F." is priced at $2.50.

Swings on the trees of the White House grounds will be taboo this summer. despite the presence of children in the executive mansion. Too many of the trees are old and of historic interest to be used for such a purpose. However. Colonel U. S. Grant,
 3d. expects to solve the problem of swings very nicely by providing some sort of arti- fieial supports. It wasn't that way in the old days. A tree was tree to be sure. but it was also to be climbed by youngsters and to bear a couple of strands of hemp.
