A Detroit business man and philan-
thropist had e happy idea last year
which has now cotton to fruition. He
believes nice that growing boys are
capable of rccening it. He .thcre-
fore proposed a tour for which he
would pay one-third of the expenses.
if the boys themselves would earn
one-third and their parents would sup-
ply the other third. The boys were
to maintain satisfactory school stand-
' while earning their money.
“flame summcr he has rot forth with
(2 boys who have fulfilled the require-
ments. The joyful crowd is headed
Westward, sight-seeing all ovrr the
Northwest and going as far as Alaska.
The boys hope to greet the

Travel is one of the luxuries 0
an earlier day which is coming to be
regarded as an essential part of every
well-rounded education. Not only are
moderate clrtumotances sav-
people in ‘
ing for periodic trzps into foreign
parts, but more and more, opportun-
ities are being devised for sending
boys and girls on such trips even be-
fore their formal schooling is done.
it is a very wholesome tendency.
In addition to th0 enrichment of the
traveller’s own expr'rience and life.
there comes better understanding of
other lands and peoples. A nation of
intelligent travellers is likely to he-
como a nation capable of intelligent
participation in world affairs.

New '.':aland’s Babies
New Zealand proudly boasts that it
has the lowest infant mortality rate in
the world. it is 43 per 1.000. Fifty
years ego the rate was 106 per 1,000.
This big reduction is the result of con-
certed. organized and persistent na-
' tionei effort. with the Plunket Society
as leader.
The society maintains nursing cen-
tors in every town where a nurse. spe-
cially trained at a baby hospital. gives
free advice and instruction. These
centers are supported by private sub-
scriptions plus government subsidy.
Their work does not savor of charity.
So well liked and democratic are they
that rich and poor.. ignorant and
learned alike are glad to avail them-
selves of the expert help offered there.
The Plunket Society also issues
phernpiets w on are disturbed free.
and publish frequent articles in the
newspepers of the country on the care
of hebles. 1t answers correspondence
and co-operetes energetically with the
government health department.
What New Zesluid has done any
Ameriun community ought to be able
to tie it if it would. Here. too. there
are authoritative government bulletins
and pamphlets for the help and in—
stsoetlon of young parents: there are
in my places hospital clinics. dis-
pennriee and health centers giving
free or nominally priced examinations.
edvice and medicine: there are health
columns in many of the daily news-
pepers. All that seems to be lacking
are the determinatbn and the con-
certed effort shown in New Zealend.

Many e good men. emboldened by
e phenomenal success in one field
of endeavor, has struck boldly out
into another class of undgrteklng and
almost lost therein the reputation for
sngecity and wisdom” which he had
previously gained. Consider for a.
moment the words of Dr. fierver
Wiley. nationally known pure food
expert and former chief ot the Bu-
reau of Chemestry. as he views the
last twenty odd years' worn of Henry
Ford:
"The automobile hes crested e
race of potbellied bankers. bootleg-
ger bends and ,burglers. By the luv
troduction of the automobile into our
method of living. en easy means of
escape he been provided for law-
breakers all over the country.
"The automobile has encouraged
activities of bank burglars. it has
aided in the escape of the bootleggers
and other violators of the prohibition
law; it has produced more fat and
pudgy men and women who have
have ruined their health through
lack of exercise, than any other
agency. Instead of bolus ll. public
lune-factor, in my Judgment, Henry
Ford has proved himself to be a.
menace to the country."
Dr. \l'tley's generalizations are so
far afield that they actully are silly
'l‘hcre‘are fewer hank burglaries to-
day than ever; fewer in total. or per
eapltn, or in proportion to the num-
ber of banks. The automobile that
aids in the escape of the law violator
also aids in his pursuit and capture.
l'olice mounted on motorcycles cov-
er a wider territory and are more of
feetive than on foot.
Instead of producing a race of “pot-
bellied bankers." the automobile aga-
hus been accompanied by a. general
increase in health. and a reduction
of the death rate. notwithstanding
automobile. accidents. \i'e do not say
‘unco tables prove. but such facts are'
that automobiles are responsible for
the linprovemrnt in health and the
increased longevity which‘the intur-
utterly incmnpatihlc with Dr. \i'lley's
charge that they are producing a gen-
eration of “fat and pudgy men and
women who have ruined their health
tlu‘ough lack of exercise."
In the old days people walked to
their work. but they aimed to walk as
little as possible and so lived near
their work. The result of this aye
tern was the birth of that monstros-
ity. the overcrowded city with its
teeming tenements and its swarming
ilput‘ilnenis. The automobile. by en-
nbllng people to live at a consider-
able distance from their work. is
gradually opening up the cities and
relieving hte living congestion. The
net guilt to health and longevity from
this alone is more than an offset to
the fact that. pe0ple sometimes ride
in a car where they used to walk.

full
of biographers is that they are an
impertlnence; and the Inest thing that
they are a. necessary impcrtlncnco.
There will be no biographer who will
bring the days in which we live more.
vividly before us than the distinguish-
ed lndy who took the precaution to
write her own biography. and 1 corn-
mend that example to the Chairman."
A Biography should no a Picture
It was then Mr. Asquith made his
retort on Mr. Gardiner, and went on:
“What should a biography ire—a
photograph. a. picture, a caricature or
a. creation? Some of the best lilo.
graphics in history come within one
or the other of these categories. But
clearly the best, and only ones which
have in title to immortality. are those
which are not creations but pictures
e—the picture of an artist who loved
his subject and who brought to the
delineation of it. not only accuracy
by memory, not only truth. the whole
truth and nothing imaginative, in-
stinct which distinguishes c. mcrn
chronicled record from it living hin-
graphy and representation of the per-
son. It is for that reason that lins-
wcll stands in the supreme position
from which he will never be displaced
among the blographres of the world.
"\Vhen s. man writes his own bio-
graphy—nnd I recommend noun of
you to do so»—lt requires great. spe-
cial art and is liable to limitation.
First of all, the person who is self—
conscious in more. or less gazing in
the lacking glass to get the portrait-
ure of his or her own features. and
it is extremely diffcult to tell the
truth. the whole truth and nothing
but the truth.‘ '
his sally provoked to laughtcf1
Mrs. Asquith and all the others of a
very intellectual audience.
There Are Too Many Biographies
