M|NTON HONOR
STUDENT, WAR
HERO. ATHLETE
Democratic Senate Hope,
AZ, Father of 3; Big Shot
to Youngest.
BY LYMAN
Times Special Writer

A career typical of countless IN
diana. political figures carried Sher-
man Minton, New Albany, to the
Democratic nomination for United
States senator.
Born on a farm near Georgetown,
Floyd county, Sherman Minton grew
up in the same county, where his
three children have been reared.
To his friends he is known as
SHAY" To his 8-year-old son
Johnny he is big Shot"
The other children are Sherman
Jr., II, and Mary Anne, 10. The
three children and their mother are
Mr.. Minton's greatest boosters.
The Democratic nominee is a
World war veteran and former COL
lege athlete and honor student. He
enlisted at Fl. Harrison, rose to
the rank of captain, and was COM
handing troops at Verdun when the
arnistice vas signed.
SHAY" Minton helped support
himself while attending New Albany
high school where he starred in
football, baseball and track and
graduated with scholastic honors in
1910.
Honor Student at 1. q.
His next goal was Indiana uni
versity. Arriving in Bloomington
with only a few dollars, he obtained
odd jobs to pay his expenses.
Possessed with a willing spirit and
pleasing personality, he quickly be-
came an important figure on the
campus. He played football and
baseball, engaged in debating and
maintained a high scholastic aver
age.
He climaXed his collegiate career
as president of the Indiana Union.
He was graduated from the Indiana
university law school in 1915, stand
ing at the head of his class. He was
awarded a scholarship to the Yale
university school of law and won the
William Jennings Bryan prize
awarded annually to the graduate
showing the greatest proficiency in
public speaking.
He was graduated from the Yale
law school in 1916, again with schol-
astic honors which brought him the
Wayland prize. After the war Mr..
Minton opened a law office in New
Albany and organized a local post
of the American Legion.
Active in Legion Work
Mr.. Minton has been active in
state Legion circles ever since the
war, holding the post of state judge
advocate one year. His political
career includes two unsuccessful at
tempts to be elected to congress.
Shortly after taking office, Gov
ernor Paul v. McNutt appointed Mr..
Minton public counselor of the pub
lie service commission with instruc-
tons to reduce the rates of Indiana
utilities.
The nominee is ~, dark, hand
some, and erect. He is an incurable
story teller and often sets down his
thoughts in verse. He is one of the
most able speakers among the
younger members of the party.

Physical Examination at
S~hoo1

VOU may have youngster starting
i off to school for the first time. If
you have sent other children to school
you are acquainted with some of the
regulations and have learned that
these regulations have all been adopt
ed to help your child.
If, however, this Is the first time
you have sent youngster to school
try to remember that regulations are
for the good of the majority.
One of the regulations is that your
child must be examined by nurse,
doctor and dentist.
Instead of becoming indignant about
this because you have had your child
under the care, of a child's specialist,
be wise enough to take advantage of
these examinations by those who see
and examine your child from a differ
ent standpoint than that of the spe-
cialist.
While food is the most important
point in the health and safety of chill
dren, and our children's specialists
save thousands of lives yearly, there
is the general physique or structure
of the child, the way it stands or sits,
its walk, the straightness of the spine,
the condition of the teeth as to
straightness, the presence of little cav
tiles in the teeth, the shape of the
u:cuth and face, the condition of the
nose and throat and many other
things about youngsters that school
nurses, dentists and doctors have
learned in ,aeir experience with thou
sands of children.
The very fact that you object to
this complete examination which
means the removal of the child's
clothing so that the back and spine
may be examined. will get your
youngster off on the wrong foot at
school. He may get the idea that he
should have little different treatment
at school than that given to other
youngsters and may have trouble ad-
justing himself to the other young
sters.
And as you know, it is this adjust
ing of children to regulations, to the
rights and privileges Of other chill
dren, that keeps them from being
"odd" and possible mental cases in
the future.
Instead of objecting to 1t, make sure
that your child gets this thorough ex-
animation.

That Body

Food and Mental and
PHYSICAL Work
BY
JAMES W. BARTON, M. d.

HURING the World war, nations
~ found 1t necessary to conserve
their food resources, and experiments
were conducted to learn just how
much food an individual needed to do
his mental and physical work prop
erly.

formation.
Balanced or "all round'' diets were
used. One squad Of ten subjects re-
ceived 5000 calories cheat units) OF
food daily, the other only 1900 cal.
cries, through period of two months.
Mental addition showed the full ra'
zion squad to gain through practice
double their accuracy in the first
month, while the reduced ration squad
had increased their accuracy only half
at the end of two months. The reduced
ration squad also made so per cent
more errors than the full ration squad
at the end of the second month.
Similar differences in memory ap-
peared between the two squads, but
the reduced ration squad actually
"went back" In the memory test, dur
ing the course of the second month.
Using the tuning fork, and also
sens 'tiveness to electric currents,
showed the reduced ration squad had
gone backward.
In commenting on these brain tests,
DR.. Donald G. Laird, Colgate univer-
sity, believes that it is the better gen.
eral physical condition of the full ra-
ton squad that gives them the SUPER
iority rather thans any real damage
to the brain of the reduced ratic1
squad.
What about the physical or body
tests?
In "steadiness" test made by trac-
ing with a pencil between two paral-
lei lines, the squad on reduced ra-
lions not only made more mistakes
but showed less Improvement in two
months practice than the full ration
squad did in the first month.
Strength Of grip was decreased 8
per cent by the reduced diet, the left
hand being more affected than the
right.
Speed of eye movement was reduced
5 per cent in the reduced diet group.
Finger movement was also reduced
in the reduced diet group.
What do these experiments teach
us?
They teach us that the body can ad-
just itself so that life is not endan-
gered by the reduced diet, but it can
readily be seen that mental and physi-
cal ability are certainly lessened.
