Well, let us see whether Earl
Browder's patriotism stems from
love OF America or love OF the
Russian economic system.
IN AUG. q, 1899. the day
" after Hitler and Stain
signed a 10-year nonaggreSsion
pact-for which Stain received

in a nationwide broadcast over

We Ccmmualsts support tsyS

That meant that Browder had
no use for our form of democ-

communism--its opposite.
He said further, in this broad
cast:
There Is deep sympathy and
common interest between the
Russian and the German peo-

Stain told the world in one OF

DE SURE that you are getting
~ enough exposure to sun
shine this winter.
Be sure. at least. that you are
making your children expose
themselves to sunshine every
time there is an opportunity.
This means sunshine in the
open air, not through window
glass.
AS I am writing this column.
IL looks as IL we were going TO
have a rather severe winter end
a good many cloudy days.
IT also looks as if we were
going TO have il pretty cold in
side and it probably won't i'm
pose much of a hardship TO
induce the children TO go out
side, no matter what the
weather is. especially on sunny
days.
These warnings are timely
just now because right at the
present moment is the time TO
prevent the possibility of the
occurrence OF that children's
disease, ricketts,.
PRACTICALLY all cases OF
Il ricketts, occur in children
and the seasonal incidence of
ricketts, is highest in late March
and early April; new cases
rarely develop after June.
In other words, rick is
appears at the end of a winter
period and is due partly to lack
of exposure to sunlight.
OF course, strictly speaking,
ricketts, is due to lack Of vitamin
d in the food, but the body has
a way of manufacturing vitamin
d by the exposure of the skin 10
sunlight. and probably this is
the best and most economical
way of obtaining II.
Our scientific knowledge OF
ricketts, is of fairly recent date,
although it has been known as
the scourge Of childhood for
many years.
There was a sudden marked
increase in the incidence of
ricketts, in the seventeenth CEN
fury which led 10 the first de-
Scription of the condition by
Francis Gibson in 1850.
Possibly this increase was due
to a succession of severe, sun
less winters.
EORTY years ago ricketts, was
one of the most frequent Of
childhood diseases and children's
hospitals were full of cases.
Two theories were advanced
for the cause of ricketts,: one
was confinement and the other
was faulty diet.
But il was not until 1917 that
McCollum and Simmonds proved
by animal experiments that the

Would you advise change in

through its control OF music dominates
most Of the amusement business OF the
Nation. Little Jimmy decides how much
the operator of theater, a dance hall
or any other enterprise employing
musicians shall pay them; Little Jimmy
decides how much of that fee the
musicians shall receive. Little Jimmy
decides whether the musicians may play
in this cafe or for that radio station.
If Little Jimmy decides that they shall
not play there, there is little the owner
OF the business can do except to see
Little Jimmy and find out why.
This setup has the same monopolistic
combination in restraint of trade, price
fixing and rebate characteristics that
the Government has held reprehensible
when indulged in by industrial or busi-
ness groups. Because Little Jimmy is
a magnate in control of an organization
called a union, he and these practices
have the Governments blessing.

First University

The first university in the New
World was that Of Tirepetio in
Mlchoacan. Such is the contention
OF Fernando AlatriSte, writer for
Todo, published in Mexico City. The
story of his claim, as summarized
by the Office of the Co-ordinator of
lnter-American Affairs, runs to the
effect that in the year 1888 three
Augustine friars - Juan de San
Roman, Diego de Chavez and Alfonso
de Ia Veracruz-Settled in "a -four
lshing Indian community whose
name in the native TaraScan meant
golden place" and Immediately
founded" there a convent, a church
and school. From the last of these
institutions an establishment for the
education of priests, theologians
and humanists' was developed.
Courses which at that time were
limited to universities" were in
cluded in the curriculum. BY 1888
there were at least seven neophytes
receiving instruction at Tirepetio.
Among the students was Antonio
Huitzimengari, a son of the mar
tyred king" Caltzonin. The whole
group of Scholars is represented in
a painting dated prior to 154O, when
the young prince" mysteriously dis
appeared. Fray Alfonso continued to
teach until 1851, when he was sum-
moned to the City of Mexico to or
ganize the Universitas Ponticia
which two years afterward was
designated national autonomous"
academy of the highest class.
Whether or not Senor Alatriste's
theory is accepted, his advocacy of
it serves to draw attention to the
fact that the arts and sciences have
been taught Systematically in the
Western Hemisphere during approx
mately four centuries. The University

What War Teaches

An American soldier, just released
from a German prison camp, tells
story of the meaning of war which
seems peculiarly unrelated to the
scramble for selfish gain which is
the distinguishing characteristic of
some sectors of our own home
front"
The American prisoners in this
particular camp formed teams to get
the most out of their food. Many
Of them were wounded The man
with good legs would run the errands.
A blind man would attend to chores
that were within his capacities. The
man with the bad stomach did his
stint, and preferred items of food
were saved for him.
Portions of supper would be held
out, and in the evening these would
be added to Red Cross food. The
combination then would be heated
over steam pipes, and the men had
their best meal of the day. Had 1t
not been for the Red Cross packages
to supplement the prison diet it is
doubtful if the men could have kept
alive.
The repatriated soldier who told
this story is Sergeant Milton Will
hams of Omaha, Nebraska. When
he learned of some of the grumbling
and grasping in this country, he
added: Some of the people at home
who are complaining should be in
spot like this where you really learn
unselflshness and what it means to
respect human rights"
Unfortunately, it seems unlikely
that these some people, will learn,
or want to learn, what unselfshness
means. But the day is coming when
they will have to give an accounting
to the men who have learned.
