Old Law Bans the Flying of Kites in
Washington; Dueling Also Forbidden

The District of Columbia, national
legislative center, has law forbid
ding kite-fying and many another
strange statute.
Under the law, you can't tie
horse to tree, and if you use French
or Latin during trial you have to
pay your legal opponent $331.33.
The dusty code books do not ex-
plain how that figure was agreed
upon. Neither do they explain an
other amount-$26.67, which, if lost
in game of chance, entities the
loser to sue the winner.
The loser not only may sue for the
$26.67 or more but can, if he's rea-
sonably lucky, collect three times
the amount lost. Some gamblers
think it's a fine law. So do District
officials, for the city receives half
the sum collected in such gifts, ac-
cording to a Washington United
Press correspondent in the Phila-
delphia Inquirer.
Sometimes the lawmakers appar-
emily ignored old statutes when
drawing up new measures. A wom-
an has to be twenty-one years old
before signing contract. Yet when
she is the beneficiary of will she
reaches her "full, mature or lawful
age" at eighteen.

Two minutes later I stood before
Old Harry, as sheep before her
shearers is dumb.
The piercing eyes held mine, as a
magnet the steel.
''Mr. Exon, I have formed of you
a very pleasant opinion, and ] am
usually right. But I must request
your assurance upon one point. That
is that you are aware that you can
not possibly marry the Countess Of

The bedroom went black about
me, and the blood surged into my
face. And I felt as though some
thing had taken me by the throat.
Somehow I answered thickly.

loved me. But there are some bars,
Richard Exon, more rigid than
those you loosed. So we both of us
did our duty. He bowed and went,
and I married the Duke of Whelp.
And, all things considered, it turned
out extremely well And you

was only human, I had made me a

the Duchess of Whelp had taken

Old Harry was speaking again.

Said to Be Smallest Church

A tiny Methodist church, the
smallest church in New Zealand, is
probably the smallest in the world.
1t was built by the very early pio-
neers who landed in the far north of
New Zealand in 1850, and settled
in the little village which is named
Waltz, and is situated about 100
miles north of Auckland. The church
is built of Kauri. The tree from
which it was built was felled by
the pioneers themselves and hand
pit-sawn. It is an octagon in shape,
having eight sides, with a single
roof. 1t seats 20 persons.

"Ol' Debbil" Danger Works
Hardest When Child Plays
By Olive Roberts Barton

danger, I think I'll say this: Prob
ably fewer children are hurt on
their way to and from school
than during play afterward. They
develop a certain canniness about
crossings. It gets to be habit,
looking both ways and waiting
for openings. When danger points
are fixed In the mind, sort Of re-
fiex caution guides all Of us. The
big chance of child being taken
unawares Is when another fear takes
place Of caution, such as being
late. Then anxiety crowds out every
other idea but to get there and do
1t in a hurry.
Here is the truth about children.
They are always In more danger
when they play than at any other
time. OF guard, they become all
most utterly irresponsible. There
is the ball that rolls out into the
street. Bob turns to jeer at Har-
ry that he couldn't catch a base
ball with a basket, and doesn't
see swift doom approaching. Ted
turns his wheel out Of the driveway
with Chuck riding the bars. They
argue about which direction to go.
A close call that one, when whine
of brakes and an oath Is all they
have to wake them up to their
brush with death.
Other Dangers, Too

They slide out at twilight right
under street lights, thinking drivers
can see them. What If they can?

The remedy is prevention. Do

road.

Kirby son and the Vanderhof
granddaughter fall In love. Tony
Kirby, not so dollar-bound as his
father, nor so class-conscious as his
mother, believes his parents are
genuine at heart and only synthetic
stuffed shirts. He hopes that contact
with the Vanderhofs will change

to Alice. But the meeting Of the
two families Is marked by an exhl-

VTTAMIN A AND MULTIPLE
SCLEROSIS


VTTAMIN A AND MULTIPLE
SCLEROSIS
Theoretically vitamin A Is an i'm
portant factor In nutrition. Prac-
tically It seems to me negligible, so
far as we are concerned In North
America. SO many everyday foods,
even In the refined and preserved
forms in which most Of our modern
food comes to us, contain vitanlin A
that only an extraordinary restric-
ton Of the diet could give rise to q
serious deficiency Of 1t. Some Of the
foods rich In vitamin A will be mem
toned presently.
Prof. Edward Mellanby presents
in his book Nutrition and Disease"
(Oliver & Boyd, London, 19S4) the
most impressive argument have
read or heard for the theory that
shortage Of vitamin A Is q cause OF
disease Of the nervous system. He
says.
'In the last 20 months I have
treated 10 cases (of disseminated or
multiple sclerosis) with a diet which
I have described as q high vitamin
A diet-it includes to pints Of
milk daily, two eggs, mammalian
liver, green vegetables and carrots,
and cod liver oil two teaspoonfuls
twice daily. After discharge from
the hospital, the patients were told
to continue on the same diet, but In
some instances this was impossible
for monetary reasons, although
most Of them made the attempt to
carry out the instructions In some
FORM"
Mellanby remarks that two points
impressed themselves on his mind,
first the great improvement that
takes place In the early cases, how
ever severe, an improvement from
which there had been no relapse;
and second, the stationary condition
Of the more chronic (long standing)
cases-these patients got no better
but no worse.
Mellanby's high vitamin A diet Is
q high vitamin d diet too. I'm just

know about chemistry fills huge

no convincing clinical evidence that

thing. However, 1t can do no harm
to try out the high vitamin A diet
In any case. II 1t does any good I
hope to hear Of 1t.
Numerous good authorities who
have carefully investigated the
question have arrived at the opin-
ion that deficiency Of Htamin A
rarely accounts for any pathology
cal conition In man.
The following foods are especially
rich In vitamin A:
Milk, evaporated milk, condensed
milk, dried whole milk, butter,
cream, liver, spinach raw or canned,
cheese all kinds, egg yolk, carrots,
kidney, prunes, tomato raw or can

peas fresh or canned, string beans,
