, Jli? III I Culls Nation's'S Vital in Emergency Use of Mineral Springs in Europe Is Cited. ALBANY, N. Y.?Mineral springs at the nation's spas are a potentially important link In United States military preparedness to maintain high soldier and civilian workers' health and to hasten casualty recoveries, according to Dr. Walter S. McClellan, director of the Saratoga spa. Dr. McClellnn, also an Albany Medical college associate professor, , believes the nation may wisely lift a page from Germany's pioneering military organization, in which famous watering places, such as Baden-Baden and Carlsbad, have been established as important centers for treatment of joint injuries and infections arising frequently from war injuries. They plso are used as "vacation resorts" for soldiers of the line to keep them physically fit. "Medical preparedness does not pertain alone to the health or treatment of disease in our colleagues in military service," he said. "It must include a consideration of what can be done for our entire population living and working under increased conditions of speed and stress. Particularly, it will apply to the worker in industry, transportation or other lines, or to the executive in charge of these branches." There is adequate domestic medical personnel already available at nearly all the six spas in New. York state to direct an enlarged program of treatment for soldiers on furlough as well as casualties, Dr. McClellan estimated. ^ He said that a glance at reports from all parts of Europe indicated that in all war-torn countries the importance of the spa is recognized and every effort is made to utilize these resources in the face of emergencies. 1,11 1 Indian Speech Is Seen Trumped as War 'Code* TULSA, OKLA. Government agents in this Indian country aren't overly optimistic that the Indian languages are going to be very helpful to the army signal corps in the transmission of secret messages. The reason is that they don't believe the Indian language and dialects would fool enemy agents any more. Twelve Comanche Indians are being trained at Fort Benning, Ga., to work as relay men for the signal corps. The Indians are supposed to relay messages to each other on the telephone in their native tongue?a gasping, grunting language which relatively few persons outside the Comanche tribe are supposed to understand. The trick worked in the latter months of the first World war. Wire tappers were amazed to hear on their telephones a kind of gibberish the like of which they had never encountered. Federal men aren't so sure it would work nowadays. G-men here admitted that someone may have "pulled a fast one." Several months ago, a crew of "scientists" came to Oklahoma, home of countless Indian 'languages and dialects, and worked for weeks, recording the various tongues with a portable transcription machine. Since then, authenticity of the "scientists" and "students" who accompanied them has been questioned. Some sources believe the men may have been recording Indian languages to meet just such an eventuality as planned bv the signal cor ps. Science Churns Wind to Shame Any Hurricane ; DAYTON. ?

Koi the parents of children who have thiv condition--and there are many of them?this fact should be reassur lug. That the condition can he rectified is, of course, a challenge to the responsibility of parents. Crosseye is no simple eye disturbance which can wait indefinitely for treatment, or which corrects itself in time, Dr. Herman N. Bundcscn, president of the Chicago Board of Health, recently stated. If cross-eye is recognized in the child in his early years, it may possibly be corrected by the use of proper glasses and exercise. In some cases, operation is necessary. But if the condition is allowed to persist without anything being done about it, cross-eye becomes more difficult to treat, and the chances for correction ure not so good. To see properly, we need both eyes. Normal eyes adjust themselves, so that the two together see a single image. Automatically, each eye tilts in toward the object seen. When both eyes together are not able to see a cleur image, then the child learns to use one eye only. The other eye is the crossed eye. It moves, up or down or sideways. In time, unless treated properly, this eye goes out of use entirely, and it may even become blind. Cross-eye is usually detected when the child is about two years old. American Made China Among Finest in World American-made china and dinnerware is rapidly taking Its place among the finest in the world. China factories that ran half capacity up to the last few years are now running 95 per cent capacity. Two years ago 51 per cent of the dinnerware used in this country was imported; now only 21 per cent is imported. Inexpensive English dinnerware has almost disappeared from the market, for that type of American-made dinnerware* is now equal to the English in quality and decoration. Well-known *" English makes, of course, such as Wedg wood and Spode, are still in demand, but the cheaper "everyday" dinnerware on the market is now almost entirely American-made. At least seven factories in the United States are now making china ?really fine china. One of these factories is using the molds and patterns from Limoges, France, so that it is not difficult to duplicate or to fill in the fine Haviland patterns of 30 years ago. Learn Music With Feet Whenever learning can be made into an exciting game, the pupils go ahead very quickly. With this thought in mind, Arthur C. Zahorik, music teacher in Milwaukee, Wis., recently rigged up a large electrical device that lies flat on the floor and resembles two octaves of a piano keyboard, with black and white keys. The right note sounds whenever a key is stepped on. The pupils call out the chords they are going to play, recite the different notes and then step them off on this device, hopscotch fashion. Although the feet do most of the work, pupils treading the keyboard train their ears to detect discords. With this device, Zahorik says, a whole class can learn in two weeks what might otherwise take two or three months. An electrically charged brass strip runs along the outer edge. Beneath each key is a brass pin that sends current to a small electromagnet when the feet press the over-size keys. That forces another pin against the tuning bar, sounding a r.ote. Extreme Heat Not Unhealthy If an extreme heat of lt>0 to 130 degrees Fahrenheit is the most that the average man can stand for any length of time, then the men who work in the Comstock silver mines in Nevada?the hottest mines in the world?are to be pitied. The shafts and galleries of these mines are over 250 miles long, more than 3,000 feet deep, and at the 2,700 foot level the temperature of water is 153 degrees and the air is 126 degrees. In another shaft the temperature rises to 170 degrees, and the men can work in it for only 10 or 15 minutes at a time. The temperature in Death Valley, California, runs up to 140 degrees rr, the shade?just a nice place for one of these .-.Ivor minors to sit down and cool i if.

MEIN KAMPF This in Hitler's book of a thousand pages. It has made him big rich. He Is the devil Incarnate, but curiosity induced us to peruse it and see what he has to say about his putrid carcass. There Is not a page breathing any high and decent principles. It Is plain that he Is a man of no character. Thre^ texts may bo laid down from wvhich flow his preachments: 1?war; 2?deadly Jew hatred; 3?revenge for the Versailles Peace Treaty. Luckily for the reader there are notes In parenthoses all the way, to answer Hitler's lies. This writer, whether Gentllo or Jew, gives no name, but he Js evidently thoroughly posted on Hitler's record and German conditions. We will call him Sam. As Hitler has every open enemy shot, Sam is wise not to show his colors. Put he knows Hitler from top to bottom. There is not a line that is not advocating war, and teaching even the little school boys military i tactics. Yet Sam says that during the Wilson war, Hitler was only a messenger carrier and that it is still a deep secret how the "Iron Cross" was conferred on htm. In his first election for Chancellor of Germany, he was beaten a million votes. Later he made such a howl about saving Germany from the communists and bolshevists, and how he would get revenge for the rotten peace treaty, the people fell for him and made him dictator. He has made a special war upon the Lutheran church, the strongest in Germany, and has about put it out of business. Sam says that over 12u0 preachers have gone to jail, and many died in concentration camps. Kvery page is smeared with hatred of the Jews. He charges them with every crlne?even polluting the strain of the Aryan race. After stealing their money, boycotting them, and running them off. Sams says that it was after they had done their .-hare of the lighting. In tln? tirst W?cld War. Sam quotes these official records: There were 550.000 Jews in Germany. Of these lOO.nou donned the uniform fully equal to the fentile ratio. 12,nun were wounded or killed. 3f>,uo0 were decorated for bravery and 23,"00 promoted. Of the 1?!5 aviators. 33 were killed in action. Hitler had a sterilization law enacted, and 200.OOo operations in about 2 years. Sam says that most of these were for political and racial reasons. He urges the "pure mother" to the task of raising cannonfodder, and then 1 admits that Germany is breeding lJke j rats, one million increase every year.' His cure for over-population is war. Blatantly advocates living in the, "shadow of the sword". "Might makes right," he asserts and Germany must gobble up the small kingdoms, too weak to fight. How j England could have been reported as | Ignorant of Hitler's plans for war is a mystery, as he admits boldly in this ' book published some 'years before this last conflict broke out that war j is the only hope for Germany's place J in the Sun. He claims that Germany ( has the best government and best ad-. mJnistQJ'ed iu the world, and that, other nations are copy-cats of Germany. That her plow must be helped with the sword in order to put Germany on an equality with the best. That is why Germany is hated by tlie rest of the world. This is why England and America would never bo an ally with Germany. Strange to say, he has little to say against either, except briefly to tell how England lias grabbed a fourth of the earth's surface. Of course the book was written before Germany had France under her thumb, but he is bitter against -her. That if France is not checked, it will poison the Aryan race and make out of Europe an African Mulatto race. Hitler s vials of wrath are specially uncorked against Russia. That the Soviet government of Russia, ruled by Jews, and compounded of "parasites. liars, treaty breakers, spawns of hell, devils, Beelzebubs, and bolshevists." Needless to say that these are .lust some lights of this book, filled to overflowing with venom, wickedness and meanness. Hitler is a rotten egg. and we look upon him as the worst menace to world peace and decency; But we are still of the unalterable opinion that this country should not stick its fork into sm li a dung-heap, and repeat the crime of sending our soldiers again to fight their wars. Roosevelt and his warmongers, if allowed free rein by Congress, will force us to bid farewell to Democracy, solvency and a decent government ? Calhoun Times. A popular sport in central Asia in recent years is to hunt with golden eagles, which have been trained to latch foxes, wolves, antelopes, and wild goats.

Dancing Party For Soldiers Nice Affair (Continued from first page! opportunity for all visiting soldiers to get a hot bath. Arrangements have been made to have the soldiers bring their own towels and soap. Music for the dance was provided by the orchestra from the 109 Coast Artillery band located at the public relations headquarters. During the evening members of the 114th infantry band came to the hall and took over for the other band members so that they might dance with the Camden maidens. The hostesses for the evening were gratified at the fine manner in which Canulen greeted the visiting soldiers. Fear that there would not be sufficient girls for the dance were dispelled at about 9:30 when some eigthy had gathered to take part in tho evening program of entertainment. The armory was prettily decorated with crepe paper streamers while the orchestra was located on a dlas at the north end of the auditorium. During the present week the floor is to be waxed and made more comfortable for the dancers. WANT ADS?The little fellows with the Big Pulling Power. ? ? 1 ??

Weil now they can have. And right in their own home, too. A recently invented musical ad. Junct for the piano which goes un. , der the name "solovox" can do almost everything in the way of re. producing harmonious and varied sounds except sing to you. Tell it (by Angering its piano-like key. board) to "take the melody" and it becomes your instrument soloist. You accompany its theme on the piano. The "solovox" is a miniature 36- , keyboard which attaches to the' 1 right-hand side and below the regular keyboard of any piano?upright or grand. The position of the "solo.vox" keyboard allows the pianist to use his right thumb to "pick out" the desired solovox?i. e., solo voice ?while leaving his left hand and right fingers for the piano accompaniment. In a manner somewhat similar to an organ's reproduction of various ' orchestra--instruments, the solo voice can be, alternately, a violin, saxophone, flute, horn and so on. Unlike an organ, however, i.t will not play chords. No matter how many keys are depressed only one note will sound at one time. The solovox's complex mechanism was the brain child of Laurens Hammond, inventor of that musical parrot and jack of all musical trades?the novachord. Footless Bed No Novelty, Sty Furniture Creators The footless bed is here to stay. . Once a novelty, it has constantly increased in popularity to the point where the once essential footboard seems doomed to extinction. And bedrooms look the better for it, too. Such a wide variety of beds of this type are now available that one can be found to fit almost any require- . ment. Whether your room is mod era or whether it is planned along " traditional lines, there is a footless bed with a headboard to flt into your decorative scheme. The attractive upholstered headboards, and those covered with slipcovers, lend a bright note of color to the room. Some interior decora tors match the headboard upholster- j ing to the drapery. Others use it j to offer a pleasing note of contrast. Now wooden headboards in at- < tractive designs are coming into --~fl popularity. In standard shades of walnut, mahogany and maple they will match the chest and vanity you now have in your bedroom. A num ber of these were featured at th? 1 midwinter furniture markets. Still a third type of headboard I offered to the public are those with upholstered panels, which offer in- I triguing possibilities to the home decorator. The central panel is I supplied upholstered in white mus- I lin. All you need to do is stretch 9 material of your own selection over this panel, hold it in place with a 9 thumb tack or two and replace the 1 panel in the frame of the headboard I where it is held by little metal clips. . 9 No More Barred Cages Barred cages no longer obstruct the view of visitors to New Yorks zoo; they And themselves strolling 9 on an African plain populous with . . lions, antelope, giraffes, ostriches a and zebras.

Four thousand pounds of flsh a month are used at the zoo, j most of it for the sea lions, and an attendant beside their pool now sells butterflsh at five cents each. Two of the sea lions always stay on j the far side of tfre popl; if a visitor can throw a flsh so accurately that m one of them catches it, he gets a free fish to throw. Scale Weighs Postage Stamp "Split-second" scales, which can weigh the impact of a falling postage stamp or the force of a 2,500pound weight with equal accuracy, are being used at the University of Washington in secret aviation testa for the United States army. The scales, which record forces which strike an airplane in flight, were invented by Prof. F. S. Eastman, university aeronautical engineer. They are used in testing airplane parts in the university wind tunnel on the campus. When stresses are placed on airplane parts, the scales ? contact, an electric coil. The force is indicated in pounds and registered immediately on dials and gauges.
