Depends a good deal upon his father's example. Consists more of impressions than expressions. Is hero worship in which some man is made a little god. BE HELPFUL ABROAD BUT NOT ENTANGLED Americans "never can be just to ourselves and refuse the cooperation in the interest of peace and mutual helpfulness which is made possible by our independence." In these words Charles E. Hughes, soon to retire as Secretary of State, shows that he is not an advocate of national isolation, even though he strongly inveighs against "commitments and entanglements" abroad, "so that whenever contingencies arise we may be free, not to exercise an arbitrary choice, but to follow the dictates of reason and conscience, to take the action approved by an enlightened people." Independent action, but not selfish isolation—independent action, but co-operative action, in promoting world peace. This is the ideal attitude and status for the United States to maintain in the affairs of the world. This country maintains its power to do good by adhering strictly to the policy of avoiding political entanglements with foreign powers. The United States can never be a non-participating onlooker in affairs which control the peace of the world. This Nation's interests lie in the maintenance of peace. Its safety would be in jeopardy were another great war fomented.

Maintaining an attitude of non-entanglement in the political brawls of nations; freedom from racial and domestic hatred and strife; and devotion to the great general cause of just peace throughout the world, the United States is best in position to serve the world by its tremendous influence. The United States Congress, in its waste of time, perhaps excels any other great legislative body in the world. COSTA RICA LEARNS LESSON Costa Rica has withdrawn from the League of Nations, but before her resignation was accepted she had to come forward with $18,677 which she owed the league for back membership dues. "Here is the ending of a beautiful friendship," says the Kansas City Star. "Costa Rica had understood that the league offered all the advantages of a high-toned club where one could meet the best people, some of them real swells, in whose company one would be glad to be seen. There was an excellent clubhouse at Geneva with superior house service, where one could order anything one wanted by signing one's name to the check. But in cultivating the company of swells, Costa Rica soon found she was getting writer's cramp signing checks. And she didn't quite see what she was getting in return, except, of course, the society of people who were constantly forgetting her name." The rarest of friends is the one who can and will listen. PATRIOTISM Someone says that patriotism is our most commanding emotion, because it combines selfishness and unselfishness. To demand things for "our country" gives the heart a thrill, and when these things are exactly what we want ourselves, to benefit our business, to lower our taxes and to help us get the better of our neighbors, the altruistic urge is very strong in us. When the political crook tries to buy our vote with some political job or concession, we are shamed, but when he offers the same thing to us collectively we respond with pride and the thrill of having done something for our country. But the real test of patriotism is here: Do I, as Shakespeare said, "Love my country's good with a respect more tender, more holy, more profound, than mine own life?" Someone has defined a politician as one who thinks of the next election and a patriot as one who thinks of the next generation.

He wished to have a charge made. The sales-girl, incidentally chewing gum, inquired his name. "Gurls, Will B. Gurls," he muttered in philosophical monotone. "Yes, yes, but your name," insisted the counter Venus. "But Gurls—" "Never mind the girls, I'm trying to make this charge," she interrupted. "Will Gurls," he began with a blush. The sales-lady coughed, and tried to catch the eye of the floor-walker. So William laid down a half dollar for his forty-nine cent purchase and hurriedly left the store, murmuring something about a train to catch. The other day a stranger entered a bank and wanted to borrow $5. He was told that the bank did not lend such small sums. "But," he went on, "landing money is your business, isn't it?" The banker admitted that it was. "Well, I've got good security," said the stranger, "and I want to borrow $5." Finally the banker, half from fatigue and half from amused curiosity, agreed to make the loan. When the note was drawn and the interest of 35 cents paid, the stranger drew from his pocket $10,000 worth of government bonds and handed them over as security. Before the banker could express his astonishment the stranger said: "Now this is something like it. Over at the other bank they wanted me to pay $10 just for a safe deposit box to keep these things in!"

HEALTH & DIET ADVICE By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH" GOOD PROTEID FOOD (Continued) CODDLED EGGS—Place the unbroken eggs in a deep pan which is not standing on fire and pour boiling water over them—at least one quart to each two eggs. Allow to stand from five to ten minutes. When broken open the eggs should have a jelly-like consistency, but should at the same time be so well cooked that there is no transparent albumen which has not been coagulated. If the dish is covered, less time will be required to get the same effect, but would recommend from eight to ten minutes. Eggs cooked in this manner have an entirely different flavor from soft boiled eggs and the yellow is cooked slightly more than the white. Do not allow the eggs to boil on the fire for even a moment as the water must be practically below the boiling point. As the heat of water decreases, the inside temperature of egg increases and even coagulation takes place and the outside next to shell is not toughened. Hard boiled eggs for a picnic may be left in this same water for 30 minutes, when they will be as hard as any ordinary hard-boiled egg and will be much easier to digest than either a raw or fried egg. FRENCH OMELET—To two ounces of milk add an egg. Put in a dry frying pan over a slow fire and beat milk and egg together. Stir and heat constantly so that it does not stick to pan and continue mixing until jelly-like consistency is assumed. Continue to stir the mixture even after it has been removed from fire as the frying pan will retain a good deal of heat which will continue to cook the egg. Serve in sauce dishes or egg cups. One egg prepared with two ounces of milk in this way will serve one person and exactly fill the large end of an egg cup. April 9 last, the office tabling these scale wages.

Blair, state superintendent of instruction in Illinois, declares that grade pupils today spell quite as well as grade pupils did in the bygone days when spelling was a major school subject, and furthermore, that they spell better than most business men today. This is a surprising announcement in view of the many complaints, mainly from the business world, about the bad spelling of high school graduates taking business positions. Words are taught today, this educator states, with more emphasis on their meaning and correct use than on their spelling while the old spelling-bee emphasized the spelling to the neglect of meaning and use. Both methods probably have their uses and the public undoubtedly would profit considerably by paying more attention to spelling, understanding and using words correctly both in and out of school. Business men who take liberties with the spelling of words for the sake of a catchy advertisement, trade name or slogan are setting a bad example to the stenographers who write business letters for them. GLEANINGS FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE WITHOUT FEAR, WITHOUT PITY, WITHOUT LOVE In Gustave Plaubert's "The Temptation of St. Anthony," you will find this passage: "My kingdom is as large as the world, and my desire knows no bounds. "I am always marching forward, freeing minds and weighing worlds, without fear, without pity, without love and without God." They call me Science." Science is nothing but trained and organised common sense (so-called). The vast results obtained by Science are on by no mystical faculties, by no mental processes other than those which can be practiced by every one of us, in the humblest and meanest affairs of life. The method of scientific investigation is nothing but the expression of the necessary mode of working of the human mind. It is simply the mode in which all phenomena are reasoned about, rendered precise and exact. The man of science has learned to believe in justification, not by faith, but by verification. As Huxley, one of the greatest of scientists, observed: "The improver of natural knowledge absolutely refuses to acknowledge authority, as such. For him blind faith the one unpardonable sin." We live in a world which is full of ignorance, and the plain duty of all of us is to try to make the little corner he can influence somewhat less ignorant than it was before he entered it. And he can only do this by practicing that which is the chief virtue of science, and accepting nothing by blind faith. It should be kept in mind that the development of exact The "furred tongue" that so many people complain about is probably caused by drinking hair tonic. We hear a good deal about "first aid to the injured," but what we really should know more about is first aid to the uninjured.

Soviet Regime Has Reduced Russian Laborers to State of Serfdom." Although the Herriot ministry has extended recognition to the Soviet government, public opinion in France is as yet far from converted to the soundness of accepting the fraudulent Red republic as a political equal. In "L'Echo de Paris" Mr. Serge de Chessin published the other day a scathing article expressing the enslavement and impoverishment of Russian labor under the Soviets, and the utter hopelessness of the present Russian economic system. He said: Soviet Wage Scale French workmen, do you wish to know how much your Russian comrades draw at the cashier's window of the Russian Heaven on Earth? Read, in the 'Investin,' of April 9 last, the official decree establishing these scale of Soviet wages. Labor receives, according to the importance of the industrial region, a maximum of 6 gold rubles a month, about 60 paper francs, and a minimum of 4 rubles and 20 kopecks, or 45 francs. The price of bread having risen by 800 or 900 per cent, it is no exaggeration to conclude that the Russian workers have been reduced testaration wages.

In his report to the last congress of Professional Red Associations Comrade Dogadoff declared, in the name of the Third Internationale, that strikes are forbidden in the country of the Soviots, except in private industry (practically non-existent), and in enterprises conducted by foreigners. A strike is treason against the state—against the working class, of which the emancipation, and the legalized quintessence. Workers “Chained to Anvil” Slavery in Russia has merely changed its character. Once agrarian, it has become industrial. The factory has been transformed into a prison. And while the slightest protest of the worker is made a crime against the revolution, audacious rhetoricians preach the general strike in all capitalistic countries. “The Workers’ Republic is more and more unable to employ its labor, even at the lowest wages. At the workers’ bureaus 1,350,000 unemployed are registered. That figure was revealed by Comrade Dogadoff in his report to the Internationale. It exceeds 20 per cent of all the Russian yaborers, and is almost 4 per cent of the total population of the Soviet state. In other words, the class theoretically invested with all privileges, the pride and flower of the revolution, cannot. In spite of its relatively small number, earn living in the national industries. The number of unemployed is increasing. In January, 1928, it was only 510,000; in January, 1924, it rose to 820,000, and in July, 1924, to 1,350,000.
