Your Health
-BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHRETN

HOWEVER carefully you watched over your chill
l. dren during the difficult days of the depres-
slon you should continue to that they are well
provided for both physically and mentally The de-
preston has struck children forcibly so that par
entS must keep watchful eye over them now more
than ever.
In one of the great mental hygiene clinics of the
United States, in Cleveland it has been found that
hardly single case has come before the clinic dur
ing recent years in which the effects of the depres-
sion have not been apparent. The usual statement
OF parents Of delinquent children is about as follows
I know ought to try to help my child but with
all my other worries because of this depression I
simply am frantic and do not know what to do
for him"
ance clinic of Cleveland is convinced that the recent
economic situation has disillusioned child after
child particularly those from the ages of 10 to 90
about home owning, saving money, trusting his
fellow-men.
DR. SCHUMACHER has found that the depres-
II sion has played prominent part in relation
ship to stealing by children. True children occa-
sonay stole before the depression but stealing is
essentially reaction Of the child to desire to get
even, an indication of the childs resentment against
the unfairness of his life.
Therefore more cases are found in which chill
dren take money from the home, hold out change
when sent to the store, or indulge in serious
stealing.
Furthermore, many children have had their per-
sonal allowances cut because Of the depression and
cream candy or other decacies which are no longer
provided for them.
T>RUANCY, which is not an outgrowth of factors
u concerned in the depression has actually dimin-
ished during the depression period probably because
the children more satisfied with the warmth Of
the school building and extra food they get and be-
cause they can not get at home the things they
used to get.
The years of the depression have seen a consider
aQOleScent
girls working the streets According to Dr. Schu-
maker the police records show that the girls
rested on vice charges today much younger than
they were in former years.
All these facts indicate that there never
time when mental hygiene was much needed in
or COMMUNITIES as at present.

girls, years hence, for the Devil
derment of some other young
lover-though he will never be as
terribly in earnest as and David
Copperfeld were. People used to
say to me how pretty all that was,
and how fanciful it was, and how
elevated it was above the little
foolish loves of very young men
and women. But they know it
was true and nothing more or less.
These are things that / have

the old Puritan America went from the moment 1t
became possible to get mixed drinks and griddle
cakes. Committees in charge of alcoholic control
have sternly frowned upon the institution of the
barmaid, but have her equivalent in the neatly
attired miss who brings the early breakfaster his
apricots and absnthe.
In preparation for the journey of self-education
brought with me a pencil, two erasers and note
book It seemed to that 1 should try to recapture
the repororal point of view from the very beginning
of the journey, and so when the hash I spoke
politely to the waitress and said Il beg your par
don, miss, but I happen to be a newspaper man and
would like to ask you few questions. First of ALL
do you find that the introduction of alcoholic bever
ages in this establishment has affected your work in
any serious way?"
She told me that she herself never touched in
toXicatng liquors in any form, although she didn't
mind glass of beer on hot day. I informed her
that this was not precisely the intent of my ques
ton. I had not the slightest intention of prying
into her private life. Rather, I wished to obtain
for my paper some information as to the conduct
of lunchroom patrons under the new dispensation.

lowed up in that, so let them go.
My dear Mrs. Winter,
Ever affectionately yours.
CHARLES DICKENS
(P. So I wonder what has be-
come of a bundle of letters 1 sent
you back once according to
order, tied with a blue ribbon, of
the color of the gloves!
1T will be understood that men
l. of affairs who visit Paris,
whether for business or pleasure,
are not in the habit of setting
down to write long letters of this
tenor unless moved by some deep
seated impulse.
And to receive such a spon-
taneous love message from Charles
Dickens, written in the midst OF
Paris distractions, was triumph
that might easily have made Ma
ria Winter one of the proudeSt
women in England.
1t is doubtful if it has fallen
to the lot of many women to en-
Joy a more exciting thrill than
she got from this and the one
next following. No wonder she
treasured these letters and left
them as a priceless heritage to
her daughter.
Maria'S letter having just missed
him in Paris on Tuesday, fol-
lowed him Immediately to Lon
don, arriving Thursday morning.
He answered it promptly.
Note the restrained cordially in
the first letter of Feb. 10, where
in he said that on his return
Mrs. Dickens would call and ar
range for our seeing you and
Mr.. Winter" But after hearing
from her again he became more
ardent in the letter of Feb. Is.
Now, seven days later, she has
become "My dear Maria" and he
abandOns all restraint in the most
imprisoned love letter he ever
wrote. Instead of having Mrs.
Dickens call, he has resolved to
see Maria alone, before meet
ing when others are by"
Delighted-as well she might
have been-by his responsiveness,
she requested a secret meeting, to
which he acquiesces with his
whole heart" In an unguarded
moment, sober discretion is thrown
to the winds and all is forgotten
save that he is living again i'll
the old dream, in which he ar
IDENTIFY exclaimS-
whom can you ever trust, If
it be not your old lOver!"
In our next episode we present what
literary authorities pronounce "The-
greatest love letter ever written"
Dickens sent this letter to Maria at a
secret address.

1t Depends Upon the Girl

THE young lady said that in her opinion it all de-
Il pended upon the girl. The male is by nature
a predatory animal and must be sharply checked
at the very beginning of a friendship. Still some
men, she felt. were not to be blamed for their be-
havior, because the girls led them If she wished
to be catty she could name Rose and Alice as spe-
cif1c instances of this kind of business
Most men know lady when they see one, she
averred, and cocktails lack of cocktails has moth
ing to do with it. The freshest and most forward
customer she ever had encountered was man whose
lnvariable order was Baked apple and a cup of
coffee" And often he didn't so much as touch the
apple.
He seemed to feel that under the cover of this
simple order he had a right to say whatever he
pleased to any girl who waited upon him. His con-
duct was so outrageous that She personally. ques-
toned his sanity. 1T like he has the mental

But hot or cold it not her intention to put
up with that sort of language. Whenever he be-
gan: Have you heard the about the two girls
from Troy and the trap drummer?" she simply
walked away from his table.

Today's Science
BY DAVID DIETZ'

ON May 20, the American Physical Society will be
~ thirty-fve years old. In view of the great ad-
vanceS which physicists are making today, particu-
larry those advances IN demonstrating which
threaten to revoluonize the whole world it is in
tereStng to look back the history this organ

In view of present developments including the
great research laboratories many universities and
colleges, we'll the great industrial laboratories
of many universities and colleges. as we'll as the
great industrial laboratories in all parts of the
United States it is difficult to realize what the stu
alton like in the last decade of the nineteenth
century.
In those closing years of the nineteenth century
modern physics was getting its start in Europe with
the work of ROntgen on X-ray, Becquerel on radio
activity and the Curies on radium but in the United
States there very few laboratories equipped
carry research in physics
Only few universities had sufficient apparatus
for anything but the teaching of student courses
There were industrial laboratories in the nation
The federal government had not yet established the
bureau of standards.
But though research equipment was small there
we're great physicists in the nation whose work
was destined to stand the test of time Among them
DR.. a. A. Nicholson, later to become known
as the high priest of light, DR.. Henry A. Rowland
and others
DR. NICHOLSON, at the time. was professor of
- physics at Case School of Applied Science in
Cleveland. In company with Professor Edwin w
Morley of Western Reserve university he was then
engaged upon the famous eher-drift experiment now
known in scientific literature as the Michelson-Mor-
ley experiment
This experiment, carried in an empty lot in
Cleveland Heights, laid the groundwork for the
EinStein theory of RELATIVELY
Between the years 1890 and 1900 the need for
an organization of American physicists was seen and
finally on May 90 1899, organization meeting was
held at Columbia university and the American Ply
steal Society formed Professor Arthur G. Web
ster. often called the father of the American Ply
steal Society the most active in bringing about
this meeting.
ABOUT forty physicists from all parts of the coun-
try attended the meeting and Rowland and Michel

hope now that you know me bet
ter you will teach her, one day, to
tell her children, in times to come
when they may have some inter
est in wondering about it, that I
loved her mother with the most
extraordinary earnestness when I
was boy.
I have always believed since,
and always shall to the last, that
there never was such a faithful
and devoted poor fellow as I was.
Whatever of fancy, romance,
energy, passion, aspiration and
determination belong to me, 1
never have separated and never
shall separate from the hard
hearted little wOman-yOu-whOm
it is nothing to say l would have
died for, with the greatest
alacrity. I never can think, and I
never seem to observe, that other
young people are in such desper-
ate earnest or set so much, so
long, upon one absorbing hope. 1t
is matter of perfect certainty to
me that ] began to fight my way
out of poverty and Obscurity, with
one perpetual idea of you. This is
so fixed in my knowledge that to
the hour when 1 opened your let
ter last Friday night, have never
heard anybody addressed by your
name, or spoken of by your name,
without a start. The sound of it
has always filled me with kind
of pity and respect for the deep
truth that I had, in my silly
hobbledehoyhood, to bestow upon
one creature who represented the
whole world to me. I have never
been SO good a man since, as I
was when you made me wretch
edly happy. I shall never be half
so good fellow any more.
This is all so strange now, both
to think of and to say, after every
change that has come about; but
l think, when you ask me to write
to you, you are not unprepared
for what it is so natural to me
to recall, and will not be dis
pleased to read it. I fancy
though you may not have thought
in the old time how manfully
I loved you-that you may have
seen in one of my books a faith
full reflection of the passion I hac
for you, and may have thought
that it was something to have

In 1916, she was engaged by the
State opera in Vienna for leading

could bring it, a letter from Maria
Winter, entrusting him with a lit
tie errand, as he had suggested,
which gave her a good excuse to
write him again. Encoura ged by
the success of her first effort, she

old flame, in which effort he sue

a letter "All to herself" and had
assured him it would go to no one
