sCultureA Is Ditched

That statue Of George Washington
In the guise Of Roman senator, for
which the Smithsonian Institute has
finally found q comfortable little COR
ner, IS an interesting little sidelight
on the classical twist which educated
men liked to give things In the early
days Of the republic.
The classics Of Greece and Rome,
IN those days, were the foundation Of
al education. The man who called
himself . cultured gentleman was
familiar with Virgil and Homer, with
Horace and Plato. Wherever possi-
BILE. contemporary Life was adorned
with the great names Of the ancient
world.
What more natural, then. than that
. sculptor commissioned to do .
statue Of Washington should put him
In the dress Of an antique hero? The
thing seems ridiculous, to our eyes;
but that 1t should have been made In
Just that way Is not really surpris-
Ing, considering the angle from which
the educated man Of those days was
accustomed to view things.

JUST ANOTHER NOTION ABOUT
SOME OLD WHEEZES

JUST ANOTHER NOTION ABOUT
SOME OLD WHEEZES
whenever I turn over an idea OF
suggestion with the thought Of hand.
Ing It out ask myself two questions
to Wit, first, Is It likely to do anybody
any good2 Second, will 1t do any
harm? Or should say take the
matter to Father Hippokrates and get
his advice about 1t.
TodayS crazy notion, then, simple
folk, IS just this: From considerable
browsing In current medical ntera-
ture and indefatigable picking OF
medical colleagues, I have conceived
the idea that q daily ration Of rather
more than the essential amount Of
vitamin A Is advisable for any one
who suffers from bronchial asthma,
emphysema, bronchiectasis or chronic
bronchitis. Remember, this IS just
my surmise, and nothing more. Take
It or leave 1t. All I know IS that you
can't get enough vitamin A to do any
harm.
Not only cod liver oil but other fish
liver oils and liver itself, whether from
fish, fowl, OK, calf, pig, Is good
source Of vitamin A. Butter, milk,
cream, cheese, and eggs, especially
egg yolks, are excellent sources Of
this vitamin. Kidney IS q good source
Of vitamin A. Carrots, raw or cooked,
escarole, spinach raw or cooked, peas,
tomato, prunes, cantaloupe, orange,
banana, squash, pumpkin, salmon,
herring, halibut. beef fat, raw cab
bage, lettuce, romaine,. kale, green
peppers, sweet potato, yellow corn,
turnip, watercress, pineapple, dande-
lion green's, beet greens, wheat, wheat
bran, string beans, Brussels sprouts,
celery leaves, are all good sources Of
vitamin A.

nized that cod liver oil is often help

Of every major election contest were

wheezeS mentioned, but We didn't
know why 1t was helpful. According
to my notion It Is because cod liver
oil Is 50 rich In vitamin A.
Nutrition investigators now believe
that the yellow coloring matter Ia
carrots and in butter and milk and
many other items above mentioned Is
the precursor or fore-runner Of Vi
tamin A. This yellow coloring mat
ter Is called carotent. In plants It
Is green coloring matter. II the food
material Is naturally yellow Or green.
1t Is quite likely q carrier Of vitamin
A.
The results Of deficiency Of vitamin
A are. difficult to diagnose. that Is,
where there Is only q partial short
age Of this vitamin In the patients
diet. A large deficiency or complete
lack Of vitamin A Is now known to be
the cause Of xerophthalmia, q peculiar
dryness Of the eyes, lack Of tears, and
consequent ulcertion Of the cornea.
Night blindness Is another condition
due to insufficient vitamin A-the
patient finds 1t difficult to see well
in the dark or on dull day or after
dusk. Children who do not receive
enough vitamin A fail to develop i'm
munity against the cri There 4
some ground for the belief that ade-
noids and enlarged tonsils In children
may be due to insufficient vitamin A.
Cooking and canning do not de-
stroy vitamin A. Vitamin A Is stored
in the body for longer periods than
other vitamins can be stored. It Is
stored In the liver. Predatory animals
instinctively eat the liver Of prey first.

BY RODNEY butcher
Tribune Washingtoa Ceerespendent)

Washington, Nov. - The Great
Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. never
really expected to close its stores In
Cleveland, according to the private
opinion Of officials who were In on
the chain store labor dispute.
The threat and . temporary shut
down in Cleveland. It Is figured, rep
resented q strong, bold move designed
for its effect on chain store employees
everywhere-now objects Of Z national
organization drive.
Yet no one doubts that Pres. John
A. Hartford Of A. & r. was prepared
to go further with his spectacular
maneuver II that seemed necessary to
accomplish the purpose.
His business in Cleveland hasn't
been furnishing and the loss sus-
tanned there might have been con-
sidered preferable to q general Or
ganization Of employees into labor
unions.
It is suspected that the Cleveland
threat has been successful In soaring
chain store employees elsewhere. With
drawal from business, It's admitted,
IS the most effective weapon IN en-
ployer can use in q labor dispute.
There's nothing the National Labor
Relations Board or anyone else can
do about it except use good offices.
Officials have been secretly re-
gretful that they didn't pay more
attention to Hartfords repeated tele-
grams in which he threatened "a
close II no action were taken IN the
dispute.
They supposed he was bluffing.
Also, they had confidence IN secre-
tary Ralph Lind Of the Cleveland
regional labor board.

wages. than other grocery chains. Il

terprises which aren't controlled b.

IJnmistakable

In unmistakable manner the peo-
pie Of North Dakota have expressed
opposition to the unbridled sale Of
liquor In this state.
Whether they would support . rea-
sonable proposal to legalize the sale
Of liquor may never be known since
the wet" issue has been presented
too often In recent years to warrant
bringing 1t up again soon.
It may be that North Dakota
would favor the establishment Of
stores for the sale Of package liquor
only, such as are operating with fair
success in other states, but the In.
terests which have sponsored wet"
legislation have failed to interpret
properly this attitude of the people.
Many Z citizen who would Ike 4
whole new deal on the liquor question
voted no" at the recent election.
Others, by their own admission, voted
yes" but held their noses while they
did 50. For such persons, the only
possible choice was q bad one. Was
It any wonder that the move to le-
galize the sale Of liquor failed?
The net result Of this proposal and
the resultant vote seems 70 be new
emphasis on the fact that the sale Of
liquor for private profit Is unpopular
In North Dakota. Tho liquor inter-
ests. banned In 1870 because Of ad-
mitted excuses, seem not to have
learned anything by that experience.
This vote also should serve warn
ing on the operators Of beer parlors
that they must obey the Law. It
should strengthen the arms OF public
officials to enforce that law. Toe
often and too long II has been weak
ened by considerations Of practical
politics.
Recently there have developed ten
denotes which, II continued and ex-
tended, viii result In the Punishment
Of beer again. The reputable people
IN this trade should note them now
and act to stamp them out lest their
business be outlawed.
We need new and more stringent
regulations upon the operation Of
beer parlors and roadhouses, and
most of all whatever regulations there
are must be enforced.
Sale to minors Is not unknown
Such sale should be punished by re.
vocation Of the license to sell beer.
The people Of North Dakota re.
jected prohibition because it proved
impractical but they are no more in.
clined to approve tho debauchery o.
youth now than they ever have been
Tho popular stand Is that for mora
cleanliness and decency. For thos,
connected with the beer trade Il
should be made the most profitable
stand.
