State Bureau Director Says Physique, Complexion,
 Posture, Etc. Disclose Type of Foods Eaten

By their food you may know khem." Paraphrasing the biblical 1uotation in this manner, Elizabeth @. Nickerson, director of the Bu- reau of Public Health Instruction of the State Department of Health. declared in the departments weekly broadcast that the type of diet Of child is invariably written in his Appearance and that frequently the appearance of an adult will also plainly reveal the kind of diet.
 Health workers at the fairs in the state last fall could learn much about the children whom parents brought to the health exhibit to be weighed, merely by looknig at them, Miss Nickersoen said. The child whose weight was too low for height and age admitted that he dislikcd milk, and he could usually be seen later lunching on hot dog and soda, excusable perhaps because of the picnic aspect, but his physical appearance indicated poor quality of food at other times. On the other hand, the child who radiated per- sonality, was bubbling over with ani-

MAY CHANCE WAR

1t is worth noting that the three coun-
tries, Germany, Italy and Japan, which
seem most likely to disturb the peace of
the world, are facing serious economic
strains.
Germany reports increasing shortages
OF certain materials, notably some metals
as well as some goods. Rationing is al
ready beginning. Finances do not permit
purchases abroad to ease the situation
Italy has much the same trouble. In
each country the public has been per-
suaded to believe that these troubles are
due to causes originating beyond domestic
borders and famed into patriotic fervor
to endure hardships in order to win great
er triumphs. Hitler and Mussolini hold in
front of their people alluring promises of
new day and both may have to choose be-
tween a gambling military venture or do
nestle collapse
Japan, following the lead of militaris-
tic leaders, sets out to maintain an army
and navy that involves a stupendous
drain upon governmental finance. In the
island empire there is talk about menaces
from abroad, the necessity of protecting
the nation and the necessity for more
troops and larger ships. Unrest over heavy
taxation is evident and sooner or later the
same evil choice that confronts Italy and
Germany will face Japan.
Judging the future from the past one
may assume that each country, under pres
ent leaders, will prefer a war to internal
revolution, regardless of the long shot that
a war will be successful

SHEPPARD REMAINS DRY

Senator Morris Sheppard, of Texas,
author of the Eighteenth amendment, is
what one would call consistent and an ex-
ample of perseverance in the pursuit of an
ideal
Every year, on the 10th of January,
he makes an anniversary speech on the
ratification of the amendment, since re-
pealed, and predicts the return of prohbi-
ton. Now sixty-one years of age, with
thirty-seven years of congressional service
to his credit, the Texan does not bite his
tongue in flaying repeal promises con-
trasted with present results.
He calls the distilled and fermented
liquors stored in government warehouses,
Misery in storage! Crime on deposit!
Murder in reserve! and Hell warehoused
for the future destruction of mankind -
Again he has introduced a resolution for
the re-enactment of the prohibition amend
ment which he predicts he will live to see
successful.
Whether one agrees with the veteran
legislators views or not and regardless of
what one may think of his prophetic in
sight, it is permitted to all to make bow
In the direction of the advocate of prohibi-
ton. He, at least, sticks to his guns and
sets an example to affair weather poll
ticians

SEA-SERPENTS ARE HERRINGS!

Keenly interested in any disclosure
that will explain the repeated stories of
mariners, describing huge sea-serpents
seen in the waters of the earth, we find
the mystery explained by Percy Spencer
Barnhart, something of an authority on
marine life, who is curator of a biological
collection in California
According to this expert the sea-ser
pent is nothing but a king herring, which
is otherwise listed in the books on such
subjects as Regalecus russell, Regalecus
glesne or Trachipterus ijmae and is recog-
nized as heady boy of the family Re-
galecidae. The king-of-the- herrings has a
very slender body and sometimes reaches
length of thirty feet It's head is adorned
with bony crest, allowing it to make an
excellent substitute for the long-lost sea,
serpent.
