Show This Week I by ARTHUR BRISBANE , What U Health? New Ideas, New Wealth Ladjr Astor't Party Lo, the Poor Railroad A girl from Iowa and a boy from I Missouri ara selected as the "health- , test boy and girl In the nation." The girl scored 99.7 out of a possible 100 1 points. The boy scored 98.7. I Such scoring, of course, means little. , Life and health depend primarily on heart, kidneys, lungs and nerve force. 1 The lungs can be developed, heart I ud kidneys can be protected. Nerv- , sus energy can be built up somewhat, but you get most of It at birth. ' 1 Voltaire, as a baby, had fits, and If I It hadn't been for a kind hearted , Catholic priest, who showed his mother how to take care of him, put- ' ting him In hot water when the fits I came on, he would have died as a , baby. Instead, having Wonderful nervous force, he died in Paris long 1 past 80 after a tremendous triumph, I in which one of his plays was pro- , duced. The populace took the horses from his carriage and dragged him 1 home. He had worked furiously all i his life. ! Health goes deeper than . pink cheeks and sparkling eyes. 1 Dr. Miller Reese Hutchison has a 1 new Invention, and Hawks, our great- I est air pilot at the moment, Is expert- , mentlng with it The Importance of this invention, If Dr. Hutchison's hopes 1 are realised, cannot be exaggerated. I It will take from the fumes of gasoline gaso-line the deadly quality that poisons 1 the air In great cities, causing ocoa- I slonal deaths In closed garages. . , Even more Important Is the fact . that this new gasoline Is expected to Increase the cruising range of an air- I plane almost 100 per cent. What men can Imagine, they can . do, and what they require, their 1 brains can produce. I Lady Astor gives a party and in-rites in-rites only women thirty-six of them who, she says, are the thirty-six I most Important women In England.' And they are all workers In some , field scientists, doctors, government workers. No one would be called by ' our American reporters "a society ( woman," or anything approaching it It would be Interesting to print the pictures of those thirty-six , women ( selected by Lady Astor and contrast with their faces the thirty-six most" Important womenr If they could be ' Identified, in the New York City's ( 'Tour Hundred," selected by Ward McAllister long ago . ; ' Which set of thlrty-slx faces do you ' think would show the most intelli- gence? Morrill Ooddard should pub- i Ush this comparison In his scientific weekly. Railroads demand "sweeping relief from competition." ' They would like to "curb" pipe lines now pumping oil once carried In railroad tank ears by I railroads. They would make the oil companies i get rid of their $400,000,000 investment invest-ment and would check coastwise ship- ' ping and canal freights. These things I and others they demand. i What they need Is to bring their 1 own methods up to' date, stop hauling ( heavy trains weighing upwards of i 1,000,000 pounds, to carry 10,000 pounds of passengers to the last two ' or three stations. j Railroads have suffered, their pas- senger traffic has been cut almost in half, and whatever hurts railroads ' hurts the country. ( The railroads will not find a remedy i for their troubles In forbidding other . business enterprises to employ mod- v em methods. There Is a limit to ( paternalism, even where Important j public utilities are concerned. . Cardinal Hayes ln New York, de- ( ploring the unemployment situation, i urging those In his diocese to do ; everything possible, points out wisely ' that "unemployment is a potential ( social menace of a very radical type." When men stop eating they cease 1 respecting the rights of others. In Baltimore, Mayor Broening and i Police Commission Oalpher permit , moving pictures on Sunday for charity, ' In spite of protest ( Why should there be a protest against moving pictures, or any other i reasonable entertainment on Sunday T The Bible says the Sabbath was made ( for man, not man for the Sabbath. The two greatest moving pictures in i the world are a fine sunset and the rushing waters of Niagara. The Lord Q does not close them on Sunday. Why not let those , who want pio- i tures on Sunday see them, and those that want to stay home, stay home? Why the itch In one man's mind to Q control the life of another? A Dr. Dew art, who owns the New e York Sun, thinks this country should . not be pitchforked into the League of C Nationa, through the, back door of the League Court, and wisely decides to e let the people know about it . ? He will put his views into a page advertisement to be printed In 100 C newspapers, at his expense. The next best thing to owning news- fi papers all over the country Is to ad- vertlse In newspapers all over the V country. j , 1J0. W gat fmntm Sfmiiam, ImJ g |
