The shadow you cast when unwatchful, when intent on no great errand, but just living your ordinary life, speaking and acting without any thought of what comes of them, is helping or harming others.—M. M. G. Dana. AIR DEFENCES RECEIVE NAVY'S ATTENTION Air defences for the United States are to receive direct attention at once. President Coolidge has prompted an intensive study of the question. Secretary of the Navy Wilbur has referred the problem to the Navy General Board to study and to report quickly, with recommendations as to relative sums that should be appropriated by the next Congress for the navy in its three branches—submarines, surface craft and aircraft. Experienced officers of both the navy and the army are to be asked for information and advice. This step marks the definite beginning of a settled policy at Washington to recognize the importance of aircraft in the general scheme of national defense by sea and by land. The general supposition is that America is far behind other first class powers in its aircraft strength. If this be true, then there should be rapid strengthening of air defenses. Gray hairs on the head are not of so much consequence as gray matter in the head.

Without this, there would be no security for the country. Let the American home break down, and American institutions would break down, too. This country could not survive with its homes broken and corrupted. The great citadel of refinement and contentment is in the home. There happiness is entrenched. There the best in men, women and children is developed and manifested. Whatever strikes at the sanctity and happiness of the home is an enemy to society and should be discountenanced by all. This country could survive elemental disasters—earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions. It could rise from all these and go on with a stout heart. But wreck its homes and this Nation would be wounded in its vitals. The Republic could not endure. Life would not be tolerable. In every way possible and practicable the sacredness of the home and of home life should be emphasized at all times. Teach it to children. Frown upon crude jokes and derision of the marriage state and of the home. Cultivate respectful treatment of domestic relations. Foster the conviction that there is no form of existence under heaven more desirable, more happifying and more satisfying than pure home life, founded upon mutual respect and love.

The time is often asked, as though harder to say what truth anything else is. What thing? An eternal cont in terms meets us at the every inquiry.

Kitty was glad to get a job as water for a section gang on the Illinois Central Railroad. He hadusions, though—visions of him—at an executive's desk in the train offices of that road, directing one part of the operation of it. That vision came true. He worked his way up to the senior presidency of the Illinois Central. Recognition did not stop there, however. The other day a successor to Julius Rosenwald as president of Sears, Roebuck and Co., was named and Kittle was the man chosen. Rosenwald, president since 1910, has been named chairman of the board of directors. No, Dora, if your radio room is full ventilated, there is no danger of contracting hypostatic pneumonia. ABE MAKIN SOUP TO SALADS PARAGRAPHS By ROBERT QUILLEN The grin of the "cheerful loser" is merely chagrin. Perhaps it would help some to have alienists examine the jury. Even the best of us would be "criminals" if enough silly laws were passed. Revolution is a means of elevating a new gang whose nests need feathering. Usually a great critic is just a common scold with a better vocabulary. The good die young. Ah, well; if they would die good, they must do it young. Still, savage women get that graceful carriage by carrying burdens on their heads and not in them. How unhappy all of us would be if our own sins worried us as the neighbor's do. No people is ready for liberty while it calls government "it" instead of "we." Hint to plutocrats: It's the hard of the upper crust that makes earthquakes so violent. The Eskimos are lucky. They are moral and happy and too far away to civilize. To one who thinks Orientals can be Americanized, these tong wars furnish feud for thought.

NEVER TROUBLE TROUBLE I used to hear a saying That had a deal of pith; It gave a cheerful spirit To face existence with, Especially when matters Seemed doomed to go askew, "Twas 'Never trouble trouble Till trouble troubles you." Not woes at hand, those coming Are hardest to resist; We hear them stalk like giants, We hear them through a mist. But big things in the brewing Are small things in the brew; So never trouble trouble Till trouble troubles you. Just look at things through glasses That show the evidence; One lens of them is courage, The other common sense. They'll make it clear, misgivings Are just a bugaboo; No more you'll trouble trouble Till trouble troubles you. —St. Clair Adams. The Eskimos are lucky.

Health and Diet Advice By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH" EVOLUTION OF DIET (Continued) If fixed habits of properly combining our foods are formed, you will find that these habits are not easily broken, and that they will make you healthy and keep you so. Of course, long and well established customs are not easily broken, but if you are sincerely anxious to develop your life to the fullest point of efficiency, you will learn to be master of good eating habits and not be yourself mastered by bad ones. The habit of eating larger quantities of food than the body requires is a bad one, which cannot be too strongly condemned. If food is used in excess above the body's requirements, it is bound to produce a clogging up of the vital processes, for if it is not needed it is invariably harmful, and always productive of causes which lead to disease. As the fire in a furnace is easily smothered and extinguished by an excess of fuel, in the same way the natural health of the body is destroyed by excess and intemperance in diet. There is not the slightest reason why the natural appetite for food should not be enjoyed to a certain reasonable extent, but when one has reached the point when the kitchen is looked upon as a shrine, the chef as a savior, the table as an altar, and the stomach something to be worshipped as a god, it will be found there is little time left to do anything really worthwhile in the world, and suffering from the diseases such gluttony invariably produces will be sure to follow. The body overburdened with unnecessary tissue is the most subject to so-called "infectious diseases," as hungry bacterial are constantly looking for a good feeding ground and the bodies of those who eat too much or indiscriminately are full of disease. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5 THE BEST OF ADVICE "NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH" What is Truth? The question is often asked, as though it were harder to say what truth is than anything else is. What is anything? An eternal contradiction in terms meets us at the end of every inquiry. We are not required to know what the truth is, but to speak the truth. Samuel Butler said that we can neither define what we mean by truth nor be in doubt as to our meaning. He supposed this must be due to the antiquity of the instinct that on the whole directs us towards truth. It seemed to Butler that the search after truth is likely the search after perpetual motion or the attempt to square the circle. All we should aim at, be thought, is the most convenient way of looking at a thing—the way that most sensible people are likely to find gives them the least trouble for some time to come. "It is not true that the sun used to go round the earth until Copernicus' time, but it is true that until Copernicus' time it was most convenient to us to hold this." Butler points out that obvious convenience often takes a long time before it is fully recognized and acted upon, but there will be a nisus toward it as long and as widely spread as the desire of men to be saved trouble. “If truth is not trouble-saving in the long run, it is not truth; truth is only that which is most largely and permanently trouble- COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying TAKING SPORTS STRENUOUSLY—San Diego Union “But you take it so seriously.” This is the stock criticism of the Englishman or Frenchman on the American attitude toward sport. We do take it seriously—mighty seriously—and nationals of the elder nations find this American idiosyncrasy hard to understand. They rail against it, and make fun of us for it, and sometimes they scold us—but it is quite likely that any serious observer from overseas, really giving the matter a little study, would find that this very intensity of ours has worked to our great advantage. Just now the national capital is rejoicing over a great baseball triumph. It is shouting and cheering and hiring bands for a team of ball players that has won the world’s championship. It is giving an expensive limousine to a star pitcher, and donating substantial gifts to the team’s leaders. The tribute is genuine, enthusiastic and costly. Thousands of Washingtonians are all excited over it. Now this is a great expenditure of energy, but it is also a thorough and far-reaching relaxation. It is quite possible, too, that the frenzied fan who spends an hour parading Pennsylvania avenue is benefiting himself just as much as he would by relaxing altogether and spending an hour on his back in the wildwood, contemplating nature. This energetic relaxation, so to speak, exercises a man's muscles and organs and imagination, and at the same time it banishes worry and fear and meanness from his mind. It is constructive relaxation. Then, too, most of us Americans are so constituted that if we didn’t take our sport seriously we wouldn’t take it at all. We are given to strenuous business, strenuous religion, and strenuous everything else. This may or may not be a fault, but it certainly seems to be a fact. GLEANINGS FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE THOUGHTS FROM THE ENGLISH Proverbs are little snatches of wisdom tested by time and finally absorbed into the common philosophy of the people. Each race, every country has its own proverbs, yet they all show a surprising similarity. England is given credit for the origin of these items of philosophy, factors in the formation of the national thought. There is nothing new except what hath been forgotten. Better belly burst than good drink lost. The same knife cuts both bread and finger. He that hath no children doth bring them up well. A bald head is soon shaven. Butler points out that obvious convenience often takes a long time before it is fully recognized and acted upon, but there will be a nisus toward it as long and as widely spread as the desire of men to be saved trouble. "If truth is not trouble-saving in the long run, it is not truth; truth is only that which is most largely and permanently troublesaving." "Our concern," he explains, "is with the views we shall choose to take and to let other people take concerning things, and as to the way of expressing those views which shall give least trouble. "If we express ourselves in one way we find our ideas in confusion and our action impotent; if in another our ideas coher harmoniously, and our action is edifying. The convenience of least disturbing vested ideas, and at the same time rearranging our views in accordance with new facts that come to our knowledge, this is our proper care. "But it is idle to say we do not know anything about things—perhaps we do, perhaps we don't—but we at any rate know what same people think and are likely to think about things and this to all intents and purposes is knowing the things only are what sensible people agree to say and think they are." A professional wise-man, answering the question of a curious king several centuries ago, said it was impossible for men to fly through the air. His answer was truth then, for men didn't know how to fly. Now we put it down as ignorance. And that is the way future generations will account for our own statements that certain things are impossible. The pursuit of truth is chimerical. That is why it is so hard to say what truth is. There is no permanent absolute unchangeable truth; that is why Butler says what we should pursue is the most convenient of our ideas. Food dealers are going to supply whatever the public demands and the public will not get a cleaner food supply until it is demanded. Said the broker's physician— "It's a mighty poor rule, When children have fever, To send 'em to school." The infant mortality rate among bucket-fed calves and bottle-fed babies is frightfully high.

Each race, every country has its own proverbs, yet they all show a surprising similarity. England is given credit for the origin of these items of philosophy, factors in the formation of the national thought. There is nothing new except what hath been forgotten. Better belly burst than good drink lost. The same knife cuts both bread and finger. He that hath no children doth bring them up well. A bald head is soon shaven. He that is needy when he is married shall be rich when bored. A barking dog seldom bites. Little boats must keep the shore, larger ships many venture more. A crooked log makes a straight fire. A book that remains shut is but a block. One hair of a woman draws more than a team of oxen. A fencer has one trick in his budget more than he ever taught his scholar. A goose-quill is more dangerous than a lion's claw. We are all Adams' children, but silk makes the difference. If you would have a hen lay you must bear with her cackling. The thief is sorry that he is to be hanged, not that he is a thief. He is good while he's pleased, and so is the devil. A crooked stick will have a crooked shadow. Over the greatest beauty hanks the greatest ruin. Some have been thought brave because they were afraid to run away. It is no good hen that cackles in your house and lays in another's. A lisping lass is good to kiss. Userers live by the fall of heirs, as swine by the dropping of acorns. A little bird wants but a little nest. A bird is known by its note, a man by his talk. The tongue of a fool carves a piece of his heart to all that sit near him. The noisiest drum has nothing in it but air. A dog's nose and a maid's knees are always cold. A dog will not cry if you beat him with a bone. The calmest husbands make the stormiest wives. NICELY VIEWS WORLD TODAY "ItALY, PROSPEROUS, DOES NOT WANT MUSSOLINI TO STEP OUT," SAYS CAEETANI His impressions of the present situation in Italy, especially regarding the strength of the Mussolini government, were expressed recently by Prince Don Gelasio Caetani. Italian ambassador to the U.S. on his return to this country. The envoy came to close up his affairs as ambassador and return to Italy, he admitted. He intends to resign to direct a giant engineering project there, the draining of the Tontine marshes south of Rome. Speaking of Mussolini and his times, the ambassador said: "The Italian people do not want Mussolini to retire. Italy was never before more prosperous. There is no involuntary idleness in Italy. The people are putting their money into business enterprises rather than in government bonds. The stable rate of exchange shows that the country has recovered largely from the effects of the war. The exports to America increased last year 44 per cent over those of the previous year. One of the ways in which we could still be of immense benefit to the world would be in developing the Near East by using its raw material for further employment of Italian labor."
