PRACTICE SECRET OF TENNIS SUCCESS An interesting figure is little Helen Wills, the dynamic California girl, who has been winning championships in tennis all the way from the Olympic tests to the national and local meets. She is a wholesome girl, thoroughly devoted to athletics and unspoiled by her success. In an interview she was asked to give the secret of her success. She gave it in one word: "Practice!" There are other things requisite besides practice. But these other things would not win championships without practice. "Practice makes perfect." This is a homely old adage. It is gospel truth. Perfection in any art is reached only through hard, persevering practice. Great pianists spend hours daily in practice even after they become world-famous. So with violinists and musicians in general. So with athletes. They must practice or grow stale. There is no other way. Slothfulness and neglect soon would pull anybody down from a championship. Little Helen Wills is right—practice plus natural adaptability, plus intelligence, achieves and holds championships. Progress in Mexico, these days, is marked by revolution of the wheels of industry, not by political revolutions. GOOD NEWS FOR PEOPLE GOOD NEWS FOR PEOPLE A great many people think that the exprience of Admiral Sims in the late war qualifies him to speak with authority in the matter of armaments and national defense. And when Admiral Sims fired a broadside in the battle that is going on in Washington by saying that a few airplanes and submarines costing a few hundred thousand dollars would be superior in defensive warfare to a battleship costing many millions, the shot was heard all over the country, and there was great rejoicing. While a few favor total disarmament, the people of the country as a whole do not wish to be left entirely without the means of defense so long as there is greed, hate, jealousy and love of conquest in the hearts of men and nations. But the country will breathe a great sigh of relief when the news comes that no more battleships are to be built, and that news is coming soon, despite the fact that the dreadnaught has warm partisans in the navy department and among those who proft from the many millions the people pay for these huge fighting machines. How many times we have thrilled with wonder and pride when we read of the launching of a new dreadnaught, the latest word in efficiency, costing millions of dollars. And a few years later how our hearts sank clear to the bottom of our tax emptied pockets when this same battleship was sent to the bottom of the sea because it was obsolete. There will be no tears shed by the taxpayer when he bids the battleship adieu. Be economical with President Coolidge. Do not gamble with your health as the stake. A kind word, spoken at the right time, has decided the destiny of many a human being. Prosperity results from a state of the public mind, as well as from the status of political affairs. The poorest boy in the land may rise to opulence and distinction as he grows to manhood. It depends upon the boy and his ambition.

HEALTH & DIET ADVICE By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH" PROTEID FOOD (Continued) NOT GOOD LUNGS are also eliminative organs and contain poisons which the lungs during life eliminate in the form of gases. At death, because of the sudden cessation of lung functioning, these poisons accumulate, and they cannot be removed from the tissues. SMOKED AND PICKLED TONGUE are not desirable for food because they cannot be properly digested after being cured in these ways. Spiced meats, which are so commonly sold in delicatessen stores, will always cause digestive disturbances and the sea-songings in which they are cooked will invariably produce flatulence. PORK SAUSAGE should never be used for food, even if it is made in the best way possible at home, as it cannot be sausage unless it contains a large amount of fat and cannot be cooked as such unless that fat is present. This large amount of fat renders the proteid indigestible. The kind sold in most meat markets is very poisonous and even tho the sausage is made from the best meat, no one in good health should take any chances in using it as a food. It is almost the only cause of pomaine poisoning, and out of hundreds of cases I have handled of this form of poisoning there were almost none where sausage had not been used at least a day or two before the acute attack. It seems that even a small piece of sausage which has not been chemically changed by the digestive juice because of the large amount of fat present in it, will lodge some place in the intestines, and sometimes it will be several days before the patient will have distrhea and cramps trying to expel it. This poisoning is so prevalent that it is the height of folly to ake a chance with this kind of meat. He went to the registrar's office to record his father's death, and when the register asked the date of death, said: "Well, father ain't dead yet, but he will be dead before morning, and I thot it would save me another trip if you put it down now." "Oh, that won't do at all," said the register. "Why, your father may be much improved by morning." "Oh, no, he won't," said the young laborer. "Our doctor says he won't, and he knows what he's giving father." The magistrate said irately to a witness: "Your conduct is most reprehensible. You knew this poor creature was being done to death at your door, and you never stirred to prevent it!" "You must consider the weather, sir," replied the witness. "The rain was 'eavy,' an' there wasn't a umbrella in the 'ouse." WHO'S WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS The man nominated to be next secretary of agriculture in President Coolidge's cabinet is William M. Jardine, a man who began his career as a "cowpuncher" in the Big Hole basin of Montana. At 20, however, he had forsaken the range to attend Utah Agricultural college. Going to Washington in 1896, he became assistant United States cerealist, in charge of the grain work in the western half of the country. Four years later he assumed directorship of argonium work at Kansas State Agricultural college. He became its president in 1913. As head of agricultural production in Kansas during the world war, Dr. Jardine won national fame. He is agricultural adviser to the American Bankers' Asn'n and lecturer at the National School for the Training of Chamber of Commerce Secretaries. As a writer on agricultural subjects he is well known. Jardine outlined some of his views on agriculture before a senate committee, to which he was explaining recommendations of the agricultural conference. Agriculture in the United States, he said, is passing through a normal post-war crisis, from which its recovery is certain. Asserting his "unalterable optimism" for the outcome, he said he did not view the present situation as an emergency, but as an aftermath of war similar to periods faced by farmers in the past. "Only this was the greatest war of history, and the most destructive," he added; "and the effects naturally, are more pronounced. You can't tell me we won't win through, though," he declared. "When I see the wheat ageage reduced by intensive education in three years from 75,000,000 to 52,000,000." COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying FEWER BRANCHES OF STUDY—San Francisco Bee Tens of thousands of parents will say amen to the efforts of Senator M. B. Harris of Freeso to simplify the course of study in California's elementary schools, to drill more on the fundamentals and essentials and to fritter away less time on the ornamentals. As the years go by increasingly the schools are graduating shoals of pupils who may know all about the whiteness of the what but couldn't express whatever that be in grammatical English nor even spell the words they misuse. The Senator puts it: "It is time that something was done to get back to the fundamentals of education by eliminating some of the unnecessary things which have been introduced by the laddists for the last several years and which have resulted in overloading the schools with studies which are not needed." What the Senator now formulates in a bill is advocated as well by Will C. Wood, state superintendent of public instruction, who condemns the recent course of instruction, saying it is a "monument to good-looking women lobbyists." There are now twenty-seven required subjects in the elementary schools. The Senator's bill cuts those to fifteen. Perhaps the fifteen which the Senator selects are not exactly those which others would name, but the number is sufficient to enable the Legislature with the advice of the school authorities, to name a list which would be comprehensive. To those fifteen required subjects are added three selectives to be chosen by the city or county boards of education. A child who can read, write and do rithmatic and knows little else is poorly educated. But neither is a child well educated who can tell the scientific name of a flower by looking at it, or recognize the call of a particular bird by the sound without knowing reading, writing and rithmetic. There is a happy medium. The three R's are not knowledge in themselves but merely the implements for acquiring knowledge. But just as poor tools handicap the worker, they prove as well the defects of the factory that turned them out. The substance of the indictment which Senator Harris brings against our elementary schools is failure to teach successfully the fundamentals. And if the fundamentals themselves are not taught successfully it is a good presumption that the ornamentals, which are displayed so lavishly to hide the deficiencies of the former, are no better taught. Senator Harris believes the schools are trying to teach like a scattering blunderbuss. He wants fewer targets and better aim. He is right.
