Living as I do among q group of
college men, often have to look after
those who have taken too much in
toxicating liquor.

Beer And Your Figure

One of the minor issues of the day
seems to be the question whether or
not the consumption of beer will add
unwanted pounds to the figures of
women who want to be slender.
Prof. Lafayette B. Mendel of Yale
predicts that it will.
A quart of beer, he points out, con-
tains 545 calories-only los less than
a quart of milk. Consequently, if
you add quart of beer to your regu-
lar daily diet, and don't cut down on
anything else, you are pretty certain
to take on weight, just as you would
il you drank an extra quart of milk
every day.

Sophie Tucker. Everybody ap-
plauding the singer, Ethel Waters
|. Miss Waters recalls gratefully
how, many years ago, she was led
out Of oblivion by Miss Tucker, given
several dresses and recommended for
! a spot on Broadway. -.
At the Hollywood, on the third
night: A spotlight, searching out
celebrities, has little trouble landing
on Sophie Tucker. She takes bow,
then stills the applause with her
booming voice: I'm leaving Broad
way for awhile, folks. I'm going
to Chicago tomorrow, and tonight I
want to try out some Of my new songs
on you. :"
STOPPED EN- AT II
After three numbers she sat down,
flushed and triumphant: Guess
there's life in the old girl yet; they
seemed to like 'em. Now for Chi
cago; I'm opening at the Two
Twenty-Five Club, very swanky, on
the Gold Coast. And I think I'll
have my own club at the worlds fair.
Chicago likes Sophie Tucker. I've
been going back there several times
a year for-let me see-since 1909.
I remember that first day; it was at
William Morris American Music Hall,
and I was number two on a twenty
act bill. I was just kid, II, ran
away from home three years before,
and didn't want anybody to guess my
age. So had black velvet gown,
with train, and my hair up in ex-
actly 125 curls. I came on holding
sheet Of music. The orchestra started
that dum-dum de-dum bit from Faust
and most of the audience made a
break for the bar at the back OF the
hall!
Il stopped 'em, though. I let out
one loud below that rooted 'em in
their tracks. Then I went into The
Lov-in' Rag-the Lov-in' Rag, and
they all rushed back and sat down."
RUSSIAN BY BIRTH
Nobody would guess it, but Sophie
is Russian instead Of corn-belt
Amazon. Back in the early 'nineties,
she confided, her parents fled Odessa
and went into hiding near the Italian
border, which they hoped to cross.
Their name was Kalish. Into their
retreat one day stumbled an ailing
young Italian, fleeing military service
in his own country. The Kalishes
nursed him until he died, then took
his passport and adopted the name
it bore-Aduza.
They took ship for America. A
daughter was born to them on the

The mess isn't of his making.
But one OF the penalties you have
to pay for being prominent banker
which ordinarily Is very cushy
jobs that when things go very
wrong people are apt to start blaming
them on you; and somehow General
Dawes denunciation Of trouble max
ers doesn't seem like the best of all
possible comebacks.
For one of the perverse things about
human nature is this: when lot Of
intelligent and devoted people work
hard on their jobs and find that the
incompetence and chicanery of their
rulers has deprived them of their In
comes, they are very apt to become
trouble makers. That is, they are apt
to become abusive and indignant, and
impolite to prominent bankers, and
unmindful of the peace and quiet that
ought to reign in big city's finan-
cial district; and consigning them to
the neither regions with snappy
abruptness doesn't seem quite as good
a gag as it might have a few years
ago, even If it does help you to live
up to your reputation for being blunt
and outspoken.
The real trouble makers in Chicago,
OF course, aren't the unpaid school
teachers; they are the politicians and
financiers who got Chicago into such
a mess that the school teachers can't
get paid.
A few of these gentlemen have al
ready toppled off OF their pedestals.
Others, however, remain securely
placed. Chicago needs very much to |
have them all tossed out, and the in
dignation Of her school teachers could |
be very useful aid In that direction |
if someone would diect it properly |
And the next time General Dawes
gets tired of trouble makers, some
one ought to point that fact out to
him.

Americas Newest War Vessel

Americas Newest War Vessel
Nothing that a government can
do is ever much more impressive than
the launching Of great warship.
The accounts written by people who
raw the new U. s. cruiser New Or
leans put into the water at the
Brooklyn navy yard recently all agree
on that point. Pacifist and militarist
alike confessed to q thrill OF excite
ment at the mere sight of the great
ship. Beauty and strength, grace and
grim menace, combined in one black
hull-such an occasion expresses the
might and majesty Of nation as few
things can.
Considered purely as a spectacle,
the launching of a warship is one of
the most striking affairs any govern
ment can put on.
And such spectacle. too, is apt to
lead a thoughtful man to muse on
the uses Of navy, and the odd fate
that attends most warships. For the
years Of peace are longer nowadays
than the years Of war, and when a
new warship takes the water the
chances are many to one that she
will live out her career and eventually
60 to the scrapheap without once
meeting q ship OF her own class in
actual battle.
Indeed, one writer who saw the New
Orleans launched pointed out that in
all our history no American line of
battle ship has ever matched blows
with q foreign battleship. In the war
Of 1872 1t was the cruisers and gun
boats that saw action; in the Civil
War the fighting was largely with
gunboats and shore forts; in the
Spanish War the few American bat
tleships that let off their guns let
them off against cruisers; in the
World War the American warships
had nothing but submarines to fight.
But the queer part Of 1t all is that
this does not in the least mean that
building these great warships is q
waste Of time. A navy that seldom
lights can be quite as useful as one
that fights all the time. It is a form
OF insurance; its mere existence pre-
vents fights that might occur if it
were small and weak.
The New Orleans may never fight.
Even the least pacifistic OF citizens
hopes she never will. But she will
serve the purpose for which we built
her even II she doesn't. Simply be-
cause she exists, and Is afloat and
ready, she helps to defend us.

If she had felt better she would
have told them not to lean over her
so much, and the day sisters, fus-
tered and respectful, kept breathing

sausage when she wanted ice
water. It wasn't their fault -.
Presently she heard the doctor
blaming Madame Mailman. "What

was asking. Bringing that girl all

ABOUT TONSILS

The regular medical profession is
in a quandry One half of the pro-
in a quandry. One half of the pro-
tablished practitioners, would adhere
to the traditional policy or dignified
silence. Looking wise and saying moth
ing, they remind us, has served our ,
purpose for five thousand years. On
the other hand, an equal number OF
doctors, chiefly the younger men, are
convinced that the principles Of med
ical ethics which impose silence on the
rank and file of the profession are out
of joint with the times. These young
radicals point out that, altho we still
cling with fanatic piety to our hal
lowed old Code. nowadays we officially
sponsor all sorts of radio, newspaper,
magazine, public lecture and pamphlet
peddling practices, and what's more
some of the stuff we teach the public
in these harangues would arouse the
envy and admiration Of DR.. Munyon
himself.
F'rinst this item appeared in al
newspaper Feb. 10:
Removal of tonSilS and adenoids
in children under years of age
is justified only when they are
badly diseased probably the
tonsils, not the children; en-
largement is not a sufficient rea-
son, according to talk given
for the state board of health over
a radio station.
AS the item appeared in a promi-
nent paper in an adjoining state it
is probably the state board of health
that issued the warning to the pub
lie.
1t is sad state of affairs when
the health authorities are constrained
to warn the public against the
we'll, against what the learned politi-
clans of the health board consider
"unjustified". You may state the
answer.
This radio talk was delivered by an
employee of County Medical So
ciety. The plot thickens. Here Is the
official medical organization of the
community warning the people
against-what?
Who else but the regular physicians
the leading" and well known" spe-
cialists, not of that county partic-
ularly but of every community in the
country, has engaged in the practice
Of corraling children thru the efficient
agency of nurses who eagerly serve
as little tin doctors in this game,
loading them into BUSES and rushing
them to dispensary or clinic to have
their tonsils and adenoids removed
wholesale? If we, the regular medical
profession, now recognize that this
is unjustified, it would be more be-
coming and certainly more effective
to attack the evil within the precincts
Of the medical society.
The county medical society'S radio
barker referred to the diathermy
method of extirpating tonsils, which
method is rapily gaining popularity
everywhere.
Generally (he state board and
county medical society informs
the public the coagulation method
Of removing tonsils is not con-
sidered a successful one by the
medical profession.

Chicago's Unpaid Teachers

Dawes, with trouble makers"
This sentiment, which occasionally
rolls the mind Of humber citizens,
found utterance in typically Dawesian
fashion when few thousand unpaid
Chicago school teachers marched into
Chicago's financial district and asked
General Dawes to explain why they
couldn't collect any Of the $2e, ooo,-
600 the city owes them in back SAL
aries.
The booing which descended on the
head Of the former vice president
probably was more than little un-
fair. After all, General Dawes wasn't

to sing and to yearn for the stage.
Finally she ran away to New YORK,
where her lusty voice won her small
turns on beer garden stages. Made

BY the Associated Press.
The great economic expansion Of
the Caribbean since 1900" last night
was credited in large measure to the
entrance of foreign capital and enter
prise by DR.. Clarence F. Jones of Clark
University, Worcester, Mass, at the
George Washington University Seminar
Conference on Hispanic American At
fairs.
ITO it also is due the higher stand
ard of life" he said This important
energy has benefited some of the peo-
pie greatly and all of the people to a
certain extent. Not a single political
unit but has felt the advantages of
greatly improved water and land trans
portation facilities. the benefits of the
eradication of yellow fever the leSsened
toll of maleria. hookworm and other
diseases. and the greater security of
property and life"
Contrary to popular opinion" he
added. "our investments are not pri-
marily in regions where United States
political activities have been most
prominent"
DR.. Jones took issue with the popular
impression he said is held in the United
States as well as by the man in the
streets of the Caribbean countries that
public loans are forced upon these gov
ernments by lender nations at extor-
tionate rates. He said. also, critics of
those countries should consider the
conditions under which the loans were
made He mentioned what he termed
lack of governmental strength In poor
ly functioning republican forms of gov
ernment and said the records should
be compared with those of other areas.
