UNITY IN DEALING WITH TRAFFIC PERILS Uniformity of traffic laws and regulations in states and cities is urged by the national conference on street and highway safety, held recently at Washington. This would be a vast improvement over present conditions, without doubt. Autoists going from one state to another; or from one county or city to another, become confused over the differing ordinances and requirements. If these were uniform there could be no pleas by those who violate the regulations that they were ignorant of them. Let them be made uniform and let drivers everywhere be required to familiarize themselves with the ordinances and rules of traffic. This should help much in abating the traffic menace. The conference urges elimination of all grade crossings as "the only perfect solution for this serious problem." Very true. There is no compromise as to grade crossings. They cannot be made safe except by elimination. The conference recommends the licensing of all drivers, after examination into mental and physical fitness of applicants. The conference urges elimination of all grade crossings as "the only perfect solution for this serious problem." Very true. There is no compromise as to grade crossings. They cannot be made safe except by elimination. The conference recommends the licensing of all drivers after examination into mental and physical fitness of applicant's ability to operate an automobile. There also should be character requirement. Is the applicant responsible, conscientious and thoughtful of the safety of others? It is to be hoped that the California Legislature may enact legislation stiffening the requirements in tests for driver's licenses. Safety education in the public schools is recommended. This is very important, and should be effective. Vigorous and unceasing prosecution for reckless driving, Good. No plan should omit this. More playgrounds to keep school children off the streets. This would be a life-preserver indeed. Every improved rural highway made wide enough for at least two lines of traffic. Commendable. And it would be well, too, to furnish a sidepath for pedestrians. Those who walk should not be ignored. The aircraft controversy gets frequent airing. The important news of the day soon will be coming in terms of home runs and shut outs. Give children good teaching, good example and good associations. This, in most instances, is a title clear to a clean, happy and successful life. DON'T GAMBLE!

Jonah had just left the whale. "It wasn't the tiny apartment I objected to," said he, "but the other tenants." An alien doesn't become a darned alien until he shows class enough to be a competitor. Cain had just done it. "Darn my-luck!" he muttered. "There isn't an alienist in the country." "Rubber heels save your spine." And desk.

Dr. Paul Kammerer, the distinguished Viennese physiologist, now in the U.S., is a general in an army of scientific revolutionaries and he is conducting a bitter war against conservative ideas of evolution. "There are two biological theories," he said recently. "One is that the theory of natural selection; the other is the theory of the inheritance of acquired characteristics. Any person with a scientific mind must hold to either of these two doctrines. He must decide between the two. Because this decision will determine his fundamental outlook on life." "The theory of natural selection accounts for all the different forms of life in this manner: The same parents will have children who differ from each other. No two children are exactly alike, and this applies to all plants and animals as well as to all human beings." An Illustration. "Let us imagine a large family of rabbits with many differences, say in color. Some brown, some white, some black. They live on wintry snow-fields. They have enemies. These enemies easily find and attack these rabbits whom they can easily see against the whiteness of the ice; thus the brown and blacks are destroyed, while the whites, being practically invisible, escape. This goes on for many generations, until finally only white parent rabbits are left." In other words, the animals that happen to be fitter to their environment, those who turn out to be strongest at birth, have the best chances to live and produce offspring of their own; thus the weak and ill adapted ones gradually die out or are violently terminated. This is also known as the doctrine of the survival of the fittest: the strong live, the weak perish; accidents of birth plus the nature of environment determine the future of the race. Whatever an animal or person can do himself, say my opponents, does not matter in the long run, but he will not be able COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying THE NEW ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Burlington Free Press-Times Some people who do not know Mr. Sargent as well as we at home know him, and those who would like to have the Republican administration fail, particularly in the Department of Justice are saying things to lubricate the ways for such a debacle. It is not strange that the country in some directions should ask whether Mr. Sargent will enforce the prohibition law to the extent of his ability. We unhesitatingly say that he will do so. We have already given in a previous discussion three reasons for this opinion: First, Calvin Coolidge; second John Sargent; third, the Republican party. The Washington correspondent of the Boston Transcript says truly there have been few big cases in Vermont recently in which Mr. Sargent was not on one side or the other, and all the rest of the lawyers knew he was there, too, especially since he was attorney general of Vermont. The correspondent continues: "He is better versed in law than most city attorneys and he feels he will be equal to the emergency when he will be called upon to match his brain with the brains of the big city lawyers, who are specialists on anti-trust and corporation statutes. "The attorney general does not fear his handling of the law at all. He is perfectly confident of being able to prosecute the cases that will come before the Department of Justice. He may, however, be apprehensive about making appointments, the politics of the department. His duties include the making of recommendations for the appointment of judges, district attorneys, and other judicial officials in the forty-eight states. However, he is going to feel his way and hopes he may succeed." To all who know "Gary" Sargent the idea of his admitting he hopes to be able to handle the big cases that come to him, is humorous to a degree. That is what he has been doing all his professional life, and the big city lawyers, including those representing wet interests, will discover it, as will the American people as a whole. Attorney General Sargent will make good. HEALTH AND DIET ADVICE By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH" UNCOOKED SALAD VEGETABLES The minerals of the soil become the minerals of vegetables, and are then said to be "organic minerals." These organic minerals in the vegetables become the minerals of human or animal tissues, and on the disintegration of the body at death they return once more to the soil, there to provide food for vegetation once again. Foods which are uncooked and fresh from the soil contain the largest proportion of the vital elements, and cooking kills these elements at least partially; that is, changes them from a vegetable to a mineral form. UNCOOKED SALAD VEGETABLES The minerals of the soil become the minerals of vegetables, and are then said to be "organic minerals." These organic minerals in the vegetables become the minerals of human or animal tissues, and on the disintegration of the body at death they return once more to the soil, there to provide food for vegetation once again. Foods which are uncooked and fresh from the soil contain the largest proportion of the vital elements, and cooking kills these elements at least partially; that is, changes them from a vegetable to a mineral form. Chief among those who argue the necessity for man's return to a natural diet are the people who advocate the use of uncooked foods exclusively; but after man has lived for so many centuries on what has been at least a mixed diet, it is neither wise nor convenient to attempt to adopt such a sweeping change as to eliminate all cooked foods entirely. It seems that almost everyone who takes up the study of diet passes through the stage of believing that raw food is the only natural diet for man. It is, no doubt, true that primitive man lived on food in its raw state, but this was simply because of the fact that fire had not been discovered, and as soon as he learned how to prepare foods by heating, less and less of the uncooked material was used. I believe that the development of the art of cookery, has been of great value to the human race, and that man has developed a higher pitch of evolution efficiency because of it. As a rule, cooked food is more digestible than raw food because the cellular structure is broken down by the heat, thus rendering it possible for the digestive juices to penetrate the food more easily. Actual experiments with the use of the X-ray in observing the digestion of food have shown that uncooked vegetables usually are digested more slowly than the cooked foods, often taking twice as long in the digestive process. However there is no objection to the mixture of uncooked and cooked foods at the same meal, and this generally seems the most desirable way to ensure a plentiful supply of the vital elements.
