A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
By Mrs. Walter Ferguson

MY mother has been very beautiful woman"
Iva writes Private Secretary, "but has grown quite
deaf of late and is too proud to admit it. Refusing
to credit the fact she ebarrasses over and over
We dislike to hurt her feelings by referring to it but
something must be done soon. How shall we pro-
ceed?"
The first line of the letter explains the difficulty
Women who have never had reputation for beauty
are not apt to rebel at giving artificial aid to failing
nature.
Deafness is particularly hard upon those living
with one so afflicted because it steals slowly upon
its victim that its results almost imperceptble.
The Individual gradually withdraws into some inner
place of peace Noises recede The sounds of life
muffed.
Before long, We imagine, the people about
must resemble figures on screen, gestculatng but
silent
If Private Secretary would put the case up to her
mother as frankly as she has put it to us, most of
the obstacles which prevent a solution would dis
appear Many mechanical aids for deafness on
the market, and lip reading has been learned by
thousands.
The plain admission that one is deaf is half the
battle. It's good fooling yourself about the mat
ter; you can not fool others 1t is hard of course
to look at unpleasant truths about ourselves Life
would often be mbearable if we could not escape
into our castles of fantasy where we imagine our
selves to be so much more important and lovely
than we are.
Such preoccupaton, however, may be dangerous
to ultimate peace of mind for is possible to delude
ourselves into state of false security as this woman
has. To put it plainly, she regards herself the
center of the world she fances that everybody must
be interested in her words, manner and opinions.
There many beautiful things, SO much
kindness and love about us, and so many miracles
to contemplate that the loss of hearing need not be
thought of major tragedy. 1t can even be an
open sesame into other hearts

reason why the goods in the market
don't sell.
Seeing those 1875 million people in
need of everything that is litter
ing UP warehouses and stores and
rearing to buy everything in sight,
it gives you an idea of the wonder
full potentialities of that market. In
fact, it's the greatest market ever
discovered.
Better still, a market right under
our noses, and best of all it doesn't
require missionaries and Marines to
open it up. It's here, right here in
our own beloved U. S. A.
Talk about epoch-marking discov-
cries! Why, it's like falling through
the floor of soup kitchen and wax
ing up in Paradise And nothing to
do but let all those people go back
to work, turn out goods and pay
them enough for all they produce
to buy it all back and there you are:
Presto, no more depression.
Now a few words about what Alb
raham Lincoln said about classes:
Il hold if the Almighty had ever
made a set of men that should do
all the eating and none of the work
he would have made them with
mouths only and no hands; and if
he had ever made another class,
that he had intended should do all
the work and none of the eating he
would have made them without
mouths and with all hands"

w atch Your Health

A MOTHER belief used to prevail
L n that cutting down of fluids
would help lower blood pressure.
Careful studies, however, show that
this is without scientific founda-
ton.
The effects of salt still are being
debated. Some investigators found
that a diet free from salt would aid
reduction. Yet others insist that a
salt-free dietary is not effective in
the absence of complications affect
ing the heart.
Therefore, the current view holds
that salt in the diet may be dirnin-
ished when there is weakness or dis
ease of the heart muscle, but that
otherwise salt may be included in
the diet.
The diet for a person with high
blood pressure should be one which
will enable him to maintain his
normal weight, by eliminating ex-
cess of carbohydrates and fats, and
which will, at the same time, main
tain the red blood bells and hemo-
globin, or red coloring matter, of
the blood at the normal level.
Tea, coffee, and condiments are
permitted, but not in excessive
amounts.

BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

DEOPLE used to think that high
4 blood pressure might be con-
trolled by changing the diet. One
popular notion was that elimina-
ton of red meats would lower the
pressure.
Nowadays we know that this is
not true, and that person with
high blood pressure may take red
meats If he requires the protein.
Eskimos live almost wholly on
meat, and do not suffer any more
from the condition than do people
in the temperate zones.
Apparently pressure may be low
cred by living for long time on a
diet low in proteins; but there &C.
ours at the same time an anemia
and physical weakness which are
probably related to the reduction,
and which DO more harm than the
high blood pressure itself.
You should be exceedingly careful
in taking any kind of diet that
harms formation of blood cells.

LAUDS SAFETY DRIVE
BY JUDGES

OOO0G0
BY c. H. S.
Announcement was pub1is h e d
March of a drive to cut the auto
toll renewed in our city. These
judges are to be commended and
supported in their efforts to curb
the careless traffic menace; the
heavy-footed daredevil that the
civilized motoring public has to
contend with and all the cam
paigning precautions and safety
devices we have at our command
are not as effective as a Judge that
will administer the law of his pow
er.
The drunken driver and the traffic
bulldozer, the ones that have caused
and will cause the most of the &C
cldents, as soon as they get into a
jam with the law begin to pull po-
litical strings and put up some hard
luck stories that they only think
of after they get in trouble. When
our enforcement officers make the
reckless driver recognize his duty
to his fellow citizens, we will have
less accidents.
So I say, charter a course Of en-
forcing the laws we have and stick
to them until results are obtained.
The public is handicapped if enforce
ment officers show partiality and
favoritism.

THINKS WHOLE IVA
is CONSTITUTIONAL

By b. C.
1t has been widely stated that the
Supreme Courts decision in the
IVA case was incomplete; that it
upheld only part of the program,
and that we shan't know whether
the plan as whole is constitutional
until some new decision is handed
down.
In the Tennessee Valley itself,
people don't feel that way about it.
There they point out the following
facts:
That the great Wilson Dam, hearv
of the entire project, has been I'M
qualifledly declared constitutional;
that the government has been given
the right to make and sell power
generated there; that it can acquire
transmission lines and seek wider
market for sale of this power.
In other words, Congress now has
full authority to acquire land and
build a dam for purposes of flood
control, improving navigation, or
national defense; it can use the en-
ergy of falling waters thus ilnpound-
ed to make electric power; and it

TODAY'S SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETZ-

TINE New York elevator strike is
l. serving to remind a great
many people in a personal and di-
rect way of two important subjects
which have given savants much
cause for thought in the last few
years. The first is the dependence
of modern civilization upon ma
chimes.
It is not merely that modern
civilization uses a lot of machines.
1t is much more complex and in
volved state of affairs than that
Modern civilization is impossible
without the machines.
The New Workers are race of
cliff jewellers. inhabiting cliffs of
steel and brick that rise to vast
heights. These cliffs aren't prac-
tical without one form of machine,
namely the elevator.
Earlier in the week I attended a
dinner given for DR.. Allan Roy
Dafoe, the quintuplets' doctor.
Seated next to me was New York's
commissioner of health. I listened
to him detail the difficulties of get
ting medical service to sick children
and adults in these cliffs without
machiIes-here a child with mea-
sles GIN the thirteenth floor of an
apartment house. there a case of
influenza on the twentieth floor
and so on.
AS readers know, an arrangement
was quickly made to permit doctors
to ride the elevators. But the point
I am making here is the impossi-
bility of modern city life without
its machines. It IS not only the
elevators. but every form of power
application-the street cars. the
automobiles, the heating appliances,
and 50 On.

FAVORS OLD.-AGE
PENSION OF $50

By Mrs. Alta Alter-Clark's Hill
I think we should have an old-age
pension of about $50 month to all
people over so years of age. If it is
given to all, then there is no stigma
attached to taking government help.
Even a wealthy man might take
grim pleasure in paying this tax if
he knew that it was safeguarding
his own old age and that of his
loved ones, if he lost his possessions.
Call it old-age insurance if you
wish. We would each pay our own
in taxation in our good years"

can sell that power over its own
transmission lines under the broad

The Tennessee Valley folk would
seem to be right. Not only is the

the legality of any similar under
taking is also, apparently, placed be-
yond question.

When we think of childhood days,
Memory quickens in many ways.
Where are our friends of yester-
year?
Some have vanished; some are here.
Some are rich and some are poor.
All! Some--the earth now tread

And some are in the hall of fame,
While others are deflled with

I've drifted to no certain fate.
For fame and fortune I just wait;
There's ample time, I'll reach the
