Your editorial, "All Rise,

the effects of modern seden-
tary living, which has the
wheel and the push button
replacing the foot and leg.
The podiatrists of the
country are alarmed at the
increase in foot conditions,
particularly among our
youth, due to lack of ade-
quate exercise. In cooper
alton with the Presidents
Council on Youth Fitness and
the American Foot Health
Foundation, podiatriSts will
conduct free examinations of
the feet of the Nations school
children. This program will
begin during the Annual
Youth Foot Care Week, Octo-
Der 1925.

Victor Hugo said 100 years
ago: 1.-THE gaze of Europe is
fixed at this moment on
America. The hangman of
John Brown will be the whole
great American Republic. 1t
will open a latent f1ssure that
will finally split the Union
asunder. The punishment of
John Brown may consolidate
slavery in Virginia, but it
will certainly shatter the
American democracy. You
preserve your shame. but you
kill your glory"
This statement is very per-
tinent at this moment. Those
people of Arkansas and Vir-
GINA who want to fight
should be put on the first
plane leaving for Formosa.
At least they would not be
in a position to sabotage the
education of American youth
and corrupt the moral stand
ards of democratic Ameri-
cans. They should be sent
where they can no longer
vitiate the air that belongs
to clear-thinking statesmen.

ing attachment to a fallen

Men are more daring per-
hapS, when it comes to sham
poos. They are willing to try
anything once.
This means a man will
take an old mangy-looking
bar of soap and try to wash
his hair with it-and often
do a surprisingly good job.
Purveyers Of new forms of
detergentS in recent years

etc.
The truth is that soap is
one of the greatest inventions
OF mankind.
A real soap shampoo still
is the best for women with
blond hair.
The era of the dirty blond"
only arose when sprays and
lacquers came to darken
their golden locks.
Sunshine and soap still
make the best combination
for blends and redheads.
This is why no shampoo
should be given after dark,
If possible.
Plenty of fresh air and
plenty of sunshine after a
soap shampoo spells nice
hair for anybody.
Women claim they have no
time any more, and one of
the places they stint is on the
shampoo.
They seldom take enough
time for a proper final rirs-
ing.

says much of the good of any
shampoo comes in the final

the best. Take enough time
to do it right - and don't
wait until midnight, either.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES f. TRACEWELL

Do you wash your hair
after midnight?
Some women do, and they
are silly. because they not
only run the risk of catching
a cold, but they mash their
hair fiat.
For all the talking they
do about hairdos. women
seem to know very little about
their GROWING glory, as
somebody called it.
They buy so many home
waving outfits they make new
millionaireS every year, but
they do not know which type
of shampoo is the best for
their own hair.
Fortunately for the ladies,
they seldom suffer from
badness, as their menfolk
do, and so they can abuse
their own hair as much as
they please without too
harmful results.

You have to be a male and
stage a losing battle with the
old hairline before you can
really appreciate hair and
what it stands for.
The shouting and the tu-
multi dies, the captains and
the kings depart, but before
they leave, they have lost
most of their hair.
Nature, evidently, sets very
little store by hair on the
male head.
Nature says it is good for
nothing except when some
body hits you with a club.
and we no longer use clubs.
just atom bombs, and then
nothing makes any difference.
Care of the human head
means much cogitation, if
you are male, and no thought
at all. if you are female.
Women jump into and
out of a shampoo at the odd
est hours. and do not mind
longish hairs going down the
drain until the plumber
comes, and then they are
suddenly very contrite.

Old Temp Jones lost a wad
of his precious hair 20 years

hair, but if any escapes, it
is caught in the Strainer.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
This Little Shrimp's q Big Operator
BY THOMAS R. HENRY

There is a tiny blue-and-
white shrimp In the Bahamas
that lives on the "lice" that
infest fishes, sets up perma-
nent delouSing stations on
coral heads to which louise
plagued fish make regular
visits like men to barber
shops, and which advertises
its places Of business by Wig
orously and constantly way-
ing its exceptionally long
white antennae in the water
to attract transient custom
ers.
Specimens of this shrimp,
discovered a few months ago
by. DR.. Conrad Limbaugh of
the Scripps Institution Of
Oceanography Of La Jolla.
Calf, have just been added to
the marine invertebrates col
lections of the Smithsonian
Institution.
The phenomenon Of FISH
delousing by other sea Or
ganiSrns often has been re-
ported and probably is world
wide. This, however, is by far
the most complex case ever
observed.
Sets Up Shop
The shrimp, as described by
DR.. Limbaugh, sets up shop"
on the head Of a sea anem-
one. fioWerlike member of
the coral family, whose petals
are singing tentacles. These
tentacles protect the tenant
from all natural shrimp pred
ators but apparently never
harm the shops patrons. The
anemone in turn, cannot sur
vive without the presence of
another species of shrimp at
its base.
The delousing shrimp
cleans its fish customer me-
ticulously from head to tail
Of copepods, the so-called
"lice Of the sea-" almost in
visibly minute, which prey
on most marine higher Or
ganisms. 1t also removes
other minute parasites and
cuts away small patches Of
dead tissue. 1t works inside
and out. The fish helps the
shrimp to forage within its
gill cavities, mouth and
throat by opening them one
at a time as the forager APP
proaches them. 1t also allows
the barber" to make minor
missions in its skin to get at
parasites which have bored
into the flesh.
Apparently such a shrimp
always does a rushing bust
ness. One individual may at
tend to as many as 300
customers in a day. kThe fish
cleaned react to the waving
tentacles by approaching the
cleaner, stopping or slowing
down and allowing them
selves to assume awkward
positions, seemingly as if
hypnotized. Sometimes Ger
tain varieties may change
colors. This particular organ
ism, however, apparently
devoteS most of its attention
to moray cells. often they will
fight for the right to be
cleaned, or having firsts"
on the barber chair, and
there are vicious battles. More
docile forms crowd each
other, sometimes, completely
celebrating the cleaner from
view.
DR.. Limbaugh is engaged
in an essentially worldwide
study of fish. cleaner organ
isms. There is, he reports,
considerable variation in the

ed. on behalf of the Constitu-
tional Convention, q new con-
stitution to Gen. st. Clair.
president of the Continental
Congress, which, when adopt
ed, established a representa-
tive form Of government de-
irving its powers from the
consent of the governed. We,
like Churchill, can say about
those who framed it. "Never
have so many owed so much
to so few"
The Continental Congress
is probably the only govern
ment which cheerfully signed
its own death warrant and
provided for its successor.
The U. S. Constitution and
the so-called Bill of Rights
contained in the ten amend
ments mark the high tide in
mans effort to attain per.
sonal freedom under a duly
constituted government of his
choosing. The Magma Charta
signed by King John in 1915
marks the early beginning of
recognition that the Kings
authority is limited. The
Petition Of Rights in 1923.
the writings of John Locke
In the late nth century and
the English Bill of Rights
obtained in 1889 under Will
liam and Mary established
limitations on the standing
army, the power to tax and
established that the individ-
ual has certain inalienable
rights that even he cannot
properly renounce. Then in
Virginia George Mason wrote
the Virginia Declaration Of
Rights adopted by tn e
House of Burgesses on June
II, 1776. 1t became a part Of
the new Virginia State con-
stitution. Thomas jefferson
borrowed from it freely when
writing the Declaration of
Independence a few weeks
later, as did the Congressional
Committee which prepared,
with the aid of George Mason,
private citizen, those first ten
amendments which were
offered to Congress and then
the States for adoption.
1t is interesting to note why
the original Constitution did
not contain a bill of rights.
The majority of the delegates
OVERRIDE Mason's recon- =
mendation. their reasoning
being that the new govern
ment YVES formed bv the
States and that it would not
deal directly with the individ-
ual; hence, no need to guard
the citizens against the new
government. Every State con-
Stitution contained a bill Of
rights which adequately pro-
tected the individual. MaSon's
craftsmanship was soon
proved correct by several
States asking that this pro-
lection be added.
Let us beware of the ebb-
ing tide Of personal rights
brought about by subsequent
legislative, executive and ju-
dicial action.

y &&&
One of the first platforms
of the Republican Party con-
tanned a plank which de-
scribed the sending Of troops
to any State by the Federal
Government, under any pre-
text, as one of the greatest
crimes. This extract may be
found in the first inaugural
address of Abraham Lincoln.
He likewise cautioned the
people against the irrevoca-
BILE decisions of the Supreme
Courts as the law of the
land" He evidently had more
faith in Congress than any
assumption of power by that
min ent court. He also
warned that the various
States must be left alone
with their own institutions
and the administration there
of, as a requisite to the
makeup of a strong America,
as well as the possible check
on assumption of power by
powerlust politicians.
Why should time change

If the all-powerful CEN
tralized Federal Government
in Washington can enter any
State and take over the en-
forcement of unlawful mot
based on law decisions of the
United States Supreme Court
on indignation, then what is
to keep the Supreme Court
from knocking down all other
State laws? Various States
have laws regarding crime
and punishment, marriage,
divorce, personal property,
real estate. taxation, schools,
colleges. churches, voting and
other rights and privileges.
Under Supreme Court edicts
all that can be changed. The
Supreme Court law has super
seeded all State laws as it
has superseded our legisla-
tive branch of the Govern
ment.
Our lawmakers are too
busy spending the taxpayers
money, and sending our
natural resources abroad TO
be bothered with our own
domestic laws. Meanwhile,
the Supreme Court edicts,
enforced by the all-powerful
centralized Federal Govern
ment in Washington, have
embarked upon a crusade of
galloping socialism.

the Bahama case. There may
be, however, other organisms
which maintain permanent

important phase of sea biol

up on individual coral heads,
on reef formations, in sea
floor depressions, or merely
in certain general areas.
I'm general" DR.. Limbaugh
reported recently TO the
Western Society of Natural
lists, "the concept may be ex-
banded to include very large
areas or physical features. I
am now convinced that this
is one reason fish visit the
edges Of kelp beds, where spe-
cies Of cleaner fish dominate
the fauna. believe also that
many famous fishing grounds
tof the Pacific Coast may
be cleaner stations. Among
these l would include certain
islands and shoals.
Visiting fishes at the
small cleaning stations in the
Bahamas showed a definite
time pattern in their daily
arrival, obviously related to
a diurnal patterned life.
Longer term studies I'M
doubtedly would have shown
seasonal trends. The number
of fish processed at a small
station during a six-hour
daylight period may be large.
In areas inhabited by thou
sands Of cleaner organisms
the numerical significance
begins to take on meaning.
Often a fish will visit more
than one station and return
many times during the day.
This is particularly true of
an injured or sick fish.
Results Of Experiment
"In an experiment in the
Bahamas, removed all the
known cleaners from two
small, isolated reefs where
fishes were particularly
abundant. Within a few days
the numbers of fish were
draStically reduced. Within
two weeks all except terri
torial fishes Had disappeared.
Many of these developed
