Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

A S a people we have been fairly cursed with fad
distS We have educational cults, faith healing
cults, religious cults, and nobody knows how many
more peculiar promotional systems
And there dietary faddists who believe that
eating Of more white bread, wheat, more fruit
or more raisins is necessary to healthful life.
To be sure the starchy foods, wheat corn rice
and potatoes, useful sources of food for the
body Bread especially, gives feeling of salts
faction following its eating that is important in any
suitable diet
Those who live sedentary lives or do not use
their muscles much, should not be urged to eat
much more carbohydrates than is necessary for
them. If they eat more, they are likely to become
fat.
But we need not tell such persons that eating
white bread will poison them or give them cancer.
NXTE all know that whole wheat bread contains
w ingredients which are not found in white
bread. The germ of the wheat supplies minerals
and vitaminS which eliminated from white flour
Yet few, II any, Americans live white bread
alone and there is no evidence that the substances
which can pe derived from the germ of the wheat
are missing from the diet if the diet is fairly we'll
balanced and varied
If you like white bread, therefore, there is no
reason why you should not eat it.
If the SavageS 90 not perish of cancer the reason
is that they do not live long enough to die of this
disease. Cancer is essentially disease of advanced
years
Civilized man has life expectancy at birth Of
Oh years The savage has life expectancy at birvh
OF about 35 years Most of the people who die of
cancer ere more than As
obviously, when the SavageS cease to die from
the infectious diseases and similar conditions which

too will have their proportion of deaths from can
GER whether they cat white bread or whole wheat
bread. ~
The answer to the deficiencies of white bread is
not 10 stop eating it, but to supply those deficiencies
ny taxing suitable amounts of milk and leafv vepe
tables These will supply the calcium the mineral
salts, ana the vitamins which may be lacking in

The Lions of the Human Race

A ND still think that 'Finiculi, Finicula" is an
L a expressive Italian song and one of the gavest
ever written, even though a German composed if
think Alexanders Ragtime Band" is a good song
too and more in the American spirit than The
Star-Spangled Banner and that George M Cohens
over There" is the most magnificent piece of
American bombaSt ever written and with its honest
boaStfulness, the most characteristic American song
to European ears.
That boaStfulness which formerly was associated
with the American character has now become
crlnglng tmidity by comparison with the spirit of
ItaIlanS who think they the lions of the human
race today and of Germans who knock off work sew
eral times day to beat their chests glover at
themselves in their looking glasses and below their
challenge to the whole wide world.
Meanwhile the japanese, saying little Just pro-
ceed to take over everything that isn't nailed down
and to prepare for the impending battle with the
white race for world supremacy. This should be
pushover for the japanese and their subordinate yell
low races if they bde their time because if they let
nature take her course white people will tear their
own hearts out in grubby squabbles trifes The
Italians going to start it off in short time by
taking punch at England.
Every Italian declares with a fnality which
makes it reckless and useless to enter into logical
discussion that Mussolni is the greatest man in
the world today and one of the greatest the human
race has ever produced.
I hope that long I remain in Italy will
have the sefcontrol to abstain from logical discus

He Has q SiIUer Tongue, Too

FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT has been fond of
a comparing himself to a quarter back who calls
the plays according to the situation just in front of
him. Lewis is more like the coach who sits on the
players bench and wigWags to the team which
signals 10 call. l doubt that he wants any ttuar
leadership, beyond the post he holds.
II will certainly be his earnest effort to strive for
victory within the ranks of the American Federation
of Labor itself split may come, but not before
every effort for unifcation has been exhausted At
the Atlantic City convention of the A. F. of L. Lewis
foored man with his fist, but he is persuasionist
at heart and he would rather do it with words
In spite of the fact that the vote went heavily
against his side at that meeting this not altogether
neutral observer believes that Lewis is the wheel
horse on whom to bet
For instance, he is one of the finest orators in
America and his chief lieutenant, Charles P. Howard
OF the Typographical Union, is no slouch, either It
is certainly within the realm of possibility that Lewis
may take to the air, to which he is not altogether
stranger 1t is a good radio voice. and there is no
one in the camp of William Green quite competent
to copper him.

HeWing TO One Line

TNHERE is no personal equation whatsoever in the
IL struggle between these labor leaders. The fight
will be fought wholly upon the issues. If my sur
misses are correct John l.. Lewis is not likely to be
stampeded into rash of activity. His will be GU
muatve campaign and in the beginning at any
rate he will be hesitant to include issues which seem
to him outside his immediate objective
This inqulrng reporter undertook to draw him
out on the question of his feeling about an indie
pendent labor party and your correspondent learned
precisely nothing. Mr. Lewis didn't say "Yes" and
he didn't say No His attitude was much more
nearly rs there any point in discussing that now?"
Whether this is the part of wisdom not I
don't know. l think il is not wise, but Lewis is an
old hand and obviously intends to stick to his
knitting.
Possibly it is less than accurate to paint his
tactics as entirely conservative. He will persuade
and persuade up to a certain point and then sud-
denly lash out In addition to the gift of oratory he
holds good right hook in reserve l don't think
he's going to swing right I don't know when
he's going to swing, but if his adversary in
the ring, would be little worried.

other ouctlesS glands il the body, So says DR. B A.
HouSSay, world-famous phySioogist of the Univer-
sity OF Buenos Aires, who is now visitor in this
country.
The pituitary gland, located in the head. beneath
the nran 10 which 1t is attached by a tiny stalk
has been called the master gland" because of its
profound influence upon the other glands of the BODY
nR. HOUSSAY. who has been one of the pioneers
IL in te study of this gland. indicates that its
control is more potent and complete than has been
previous)y thought. I interviewed Dr. Eoussav at
the Western Reserve University Medical School
where he stopped for day on his trip across the
country.
If the pituitary gland fails to function prnnerlv
then all of the other glands fail develop properly
and fail to function properly he said IF the
pituitary gland is too active it causes all the other
glands TO become too active"

the slightest influence in deter
mining whether child shall be
doomed forever as manual
worker or a brain worker.
1T is best for the child in the
long rum" DR.. Lotelmann, head of
all the Secondary Schools under
the new plan, explained to me.
There is nothing as sad as am
bition thwarted through pure in
capacity"
The plan is even more severe
in the case of girls. At 9 the
tests send all but per cent into
the Elementary School channel
for manual workers.
At IA these girls put in a year
in camp, or if they are city girls
they are sent to a farm. Then
come two years in trade school,
and at II they all must go to a
girls work camp for six months.
The lucky per cent of chosen
girls spend at Is a year in a camp
or home. Then for some comes
three years in nursing school or
in semi-professional training.
For the ordinary girl even of
this original fortunate per cent
there is three years in a house
hold training school, At 10 all
must go for six months to a girls
work camp. Each year a few dozen
are chosen to go to the univers-
tiles.
To put through this vast revo-
lutionary educational scheme all
private and parochial schools and
many free higher schools will
have to disappear. 1t is regiment
ed education raised to the nth
degree.

national bridge tournament. You
hear hands discussed that were
played at tournaments years ago.
A number of inter city teams have
been playing in this tournament,
pairs made up of players from diff
ferent cities. Aaron Frank and
Morry Click, Cleveland, for instance,
played with a Chicago pair.
Mr. Frank was elected as one of
the outstanding players of 1884.
However, this was his first major
tournament this year.
Mr.. Click is a newcomer in the
tournament field. But he can
handle the play of the cards in ex-
pert style. Here is a hand that
he played in the recent Greater
Cleveland tournament.
Against six no trump, the pack
of spades was opened. Mr.. Click
held the South cards. The trick
was won in dummy with the
queen.

different than I had been before.
Then the army took me-"
THE young officer looked up at
l. me and smiled. 'It wasn't
long before I realized that this
Work Camp preliminary was lit
tie more than a kindergarten
course in discipline and service.
Slowly began to see that all
the marching and speech-making
and chest-pounding of both the
Hitler Youth and the old Brown
Shirts was not the real stuff. All
that helped, but it was the army
that made me a true German"
After the average boy finishes
his Work Camp service and then
his year in the army, he can enter
the Brown Shirts and become
member of the official party.
He is a reserve soldier, neverthe-
less, and for three or four weeks a
year he is called to the colors for
special training. The spirit of
the army hovers over him like a
shadow.
In a way I have put my horse
ahead of my cart in this attempt
to show the education of youth
under national socialism. I should
really start with the 6-year-old
child. According to the new ed
ucational plan-which, at best, it
will take several years to put into
effect-all German children from
6 to are to be sent to the same
schools.

Personally, he is humble, genial,
unmarried and uninterested in
social functions. Study and books
are his loves. He has written
several notable published studies
on the law.
His health and strength are not
of the best. and he spent part of
last summer recovering from an
illness. His voice does not carry
well in the high-vaulted new Su-
pfeme Court room.
Lawyers admire the language of
his opinions for its delicate touch
and apt phrasing, but laymen
find that he tends toward obscure
and inverted sentences when
philosophical concepts are under
discussion.

justices who are not tall or
slender. His face is round and his
head bald.
Justice Butler is fond of the So
cial life of washington, in which
he is active. He likes to joke and
talk, and often does so with his
neighboring justices on the bench.
In valuation and utility rate
cases he is a leader on the con-
servative side, writing many of the
opinions which have aroused lib
eral attacks On the court in the
last decade.
In some big railroad cases in
volving valuations, however, he
does not take part in the courts
decisions, because of his fight as
a corporation lawyer against lower
freight rates in the courts and be-
fore the Interstate Commerce
Commission. This does not pre-
vent him from participating in
rate cases involving other utilities.

Each six months at least 200,-

camps will be shunted directly
into one-year intensive army
training. Here they will not only
be turned into soldiers but into
citizens of the New Germany.
A young man of 81 who has
just finished the officer training
course that starts with three
months service as a plain soldier
and then rapidly pushes him
through the various grades and
duties, explained to me at lunch

gardless of parents or wealth, is
to be given severe 10 tests as to

Those who receive high marks

each year some 10 per cent of the
most superior of these chosen

But what happens to the 95 per

The plan is that they shall all
be sent to the Elementary Schools

ally bright youths, overlooked
when they mere 8, can be shunted
over to the brain workers division.
From IA to 16 these manual
workers continue their regular

RERLlN, Dec. AT the
gate of the Labor
Camp near Nauen, west of
Berlin, the 18-year-old SEN
tlnel gave me a Snappy
"spade salute" The spade
was polished and sharp, and
/ was fearful for a moment
that he might cut off an
ear. But he didn't. He'd
practiced up on it before.
| walked on up the path
toward the square, with
the low, gray barracks
stretched out on three
sides. By the office two
more camp guards gave me
the visiting freman's well
come.
Years ago, I used to be able to
do mean manual of arms" with
an old Springfield but even in my
palmiest days I doubt if could
have done it with loWly spade.
But in Hitler's Germany even a
spade takes on a soldierly quality.
And no high private of the old
Prussian Guards could have been
more earnest and solemn than
those boys playing soldier with
their bright spades.
TTERE in Germany there is still
Il j. an inbred feeling for disci-
plire and regimentation. Put a
German in uniform-brown,
black, green or gray-and the
spirit of Frederick the Great COW
ers him like a misty November
fog.
Everywhere about the spotless
camp and even out in the state
owned field several miles away,
where the $50 boys of this Camp
No. 395 were digging a ditch and
putting in new tile, this actuality
of unbending discipline was evi-
dent.
1t was almost quitting time
when 1 reached the field, and I
watched the boys line up and
march off singing an old Austrian
army song to words of their own
making.
At farm building a quarter
mile away they mounted their
bicycles and pedaled back to camp
and their o'clock dinner.
No trucks rolled them up and
down the roads; each camp had
its own stable of bicycles. 1t was
cheap transportation, and besides
it was good to harden leg mus

slender, severe face, worn with
many years. His voice is still
strong in delivering opinions or in
asking pointed questions of law
yers arguing cases. He asks more
such questions than most of the
others. He is deadly serious, and
never smiles or jokes on the
bench, where he sits on the Chief
Justices immediate right.
A native of Indiana, he attend
L n ed Indiana Asbury (now De
Pauw) University and Cincinnati
Law School, and he was admitted
to the bar before he went out
West at Is, to grow up with the

He settled in Cheyenne, Wyo, in

served as city attorney, member
of committee to revise the terri

territorial Legislature.
He took part in Republican pol
tics. and within five years PreSi-
dent Harrison made him chief
justice of the territorial Supreme
Court. He resigned and served as
Republican state chairman. and
attended the 1896 party conven-
