The lungs can be developed, heart and kidneys can be protected. Nervous energy can be built up somewhat, but you get most of it at birth. Voltaire, as a baby, had fits, and if it hadn't been for a kind hearted Catahaolic priest, who showed hi, mother how to take care of him. putting him in hot water when th? fits came on, he would have died as a baby. Instead, having won-derlul won-derlul nervous force, he died in Paris long past 80 after a tremendous tremen-dous triumph, in which one of his olays was produced. The populace icok the horses from his carriage and dragged him home. He had woiked furiously all his life. Health goes deepepr than pink cheeks and sparkling eyes. Dr. Miller Reese Hutchison has a new invention, and Hawks, our greatest air pilot at the moment, ,s experimenting with it. The importance of this invention, if Dr. Hutchison's hopes are realized, cannot can-not be exaggerated. It will take from the fumes of ascline the deadly quality that poisons the air in great cities, causing occasional deaths in closed garages. Even more important is the fact that this new gasoline is expected to increase the cruising range of an airplane almost 100 per cent. What men can imagine, they car, do, and what they require, their brains can produce. Lady Astor gives a party and Invites In-vites only women thirty-six of them who, she says, are the thirty-six thirty-six t.ir.st important women in England. Eng-land.

No one would be raiwi bv our American reporters " a society woman," or anrthingj r-pi.roachmg .It. j It would be interesting!? to pri'.it the pietures of those thirty-six vo men ."elected by Lady Astor and cortraft with their faces the thir-iv-six most important women, )fj they could be identified, in the New j Yoik Citv's "Four Hundred," sel- j tctcd by Ward McAllister long ago.) What set of thirty-six faces do : you think would show the most in-1 tellkjence? Morrill Goddard should pubhsh th's comparison in his scientific sci-entific weekly. Rairoads demand "sweeping relief re-lief from competition." They would like to "curb" pipe lines now pumping pump-ing oil once carried in railroad tank cars by railroaas. They would make the oil companies com-panies get rid of their $400,000,000 investment and would check coasr- se shipping and canal freights. These things and others they demand. de-mand. What they need is to bring their own methods up to date, stop hauling haul-ing heavy trains weighing upwards cf 1,000,000 pounds, to carry 10.000 pounds cf passengers to the last two or three stations. Ra '.reads have suffered, their passenger tiaffic has been cut al-rrnst al-rrnst in half, and whatever hurls railroads hurts the country.

There is a limit to paternalism, even where important public utilities are concerned. con-cerned. Ir. Baltimore, Mayor Broening and Police Commission Gaipher permit moving pictures on Sunday for charity, in spite of protest. Why should there be a protest against moving pictures or any other oth-er reasonable entertainment on Sundey? The Bible says the Sabbath Sab-bath was made fcr man, not man for the Sabbath. The two greatest moving pictures in the world are a fine sunset and the rushing waters of Niagra. The Lord does not close them on Sunday. Sun-day. Why not let those who want pictures pic-tures on Sunday see them, and thof.c that want to stay home, stay heme? Why the itch in one man's minid to control the life of another. Dr Dewart, who owns the New York Sun thinks this country should not be pitchforked into the League rf Nations through the back door of the League Court, and 'wisely decides to let the people know about it. He will put his views into a page advertisement, to be printed in 100 newspapers, at his expense. The next best thing to owning newspapers all over the country is to advertise in newspapers all over the country. |
