The commonest delusion of the commentators is that the actual knowledge gained in college is a relatively minor part of its benefit. One goes for the "life" or the "training." but the "book knowl- edge" is soon forgotten, and is not very important for the practical purposes of life. anyway. This may have had its justifica- tion. once. when men went to a col- lege of Greek, Latin. and mathe- matics and than graduated into a world of farms. groceries and poli- tics. Not that there was any sense. even then. in forgetting Greek, La- tin and mathematics, provided they had been really learned. The man who "forgets his Latin" is the man who never really know Latin. And if Latin was worth learning. it was worth remembering. The classics that may have been a task in college are a joy in ma- ture life. after experience has given them meaning.

Tile vocational part needs no ar- gument. The engineer must re. member the technical foundations her some law. and the commercial graduate has been taught facts that he will use in business. But it is equally true of the "cui- tural" work. Why study history un- less. 40 years after raduation. you are going to remember the history you know now. plus a lot more that you have learned meantime? Why study French. unless all your life you are going to read French? Why study economics. unless eco- nomic science is to be your continu- ous interpreter of the happenings around you. And so. on through the list. You go to college primarily for knowledge. and that means learning things to carry with you. not merely through life examinations. but through life. How To Keep Well By DR. HUGH s. CUMMING ‘ Surgeon General, United States Public Health Service Rheumatism is a disease of popu- lar interest because it is of frequent ‘ occurrence and it affects persons of all ages, classes, and occupations. Acute rheumatism. acute articular rheumatism. inflammatory rheuma- tism. and rheumatic fever are terms applied to one and the same disease. A milder form of the infection is called sub-acute rheumatism. Sub-acute rheumatism may con~ tinue for a long time and become chronic. Chronic rheumatism. and the different affections and deiOrm- slice of the Joints to which this term is frequently applied. may develop quite independently of any acute or slit-acute attack. Several different diseases. in real- ity. are included under the term rheumatism. Physicians are now inclined to disregard the word rheumatism and instead attach a name to the con- dition that more accurately describes it. for example. an acute inflamma- tion of the joints is referred to by physicians now as acute arthritis or rheumatic fever. meaning a. general condition accompanied by fever and inflamed Joints. Rheumatism affects particularly the joints and muscles or both. The term muscular rheumatism indicates an affection of the muscles as distinguished from joint affec- tions. Lumbago and stiff neck are varieties of muscular rheumatism. May Follow Tonsilltis. Rheumatism may be an after ef- fect of an attack of certain diseases such as tonsilitls. scarlet fever. ty- phoid fever. or other disease. or in- juries to. the joints. also it may be caused by a. focus of pus or disease germs in certain parts of the body. This latter condition is known as a focal infection. A focal infection means that somewhere in the body ~there is an infected tissue. the seat of disease germs. and the poisons from this spot are being constantly absorbed by the blood. Common examples of focal infec- tion are diseased tonsils. a chronic- .aliy diseased appendix. hemorrhoids or a tooth with a pocket of pus in the root. Prolonged exposure to wet or cold weather may he a contributing fac- tor in producting rheumatism. The common complication of cer- tain forms of rheumatism is the damaging effect upon the valves of the heart. Acute rheumatism or rheumatic fever is a. comparatively common disease in all climates'within the m In ,. New York NEW YORK.

Exposure to a cold, damp atmos- phere is one of the most frequent causes in persons predisposed to the disease. ' Acute rheullmtism or rheumatic fever may or may not begin with a chill or sore throat. The larger joints are usually affected. Sivelling. heat. redness, tenderness. and pain are the chief symptoms. The heart is frequently involved. in chronic rheumatism there is stiffness and pain. in severe cases the Joints become enlarged and dis- torted and the deformity is some- times very great. Muscular rheumatism most fre- quently affects the muscles of the back. the side of the neck. and the“ side of the chest. When the muscles of the back are affected this type of muscular rheumatism is. usually called lumbago. When the muscles of lhil side bf the neck arc. affected the disease is known as stifi‘ neck or \vry neck. and when the muscles of the side of the chest are intolvcd the condition is known as pleurodynln. Exposure to colds and suddcn exposure of the body especially after exercise are the chief exciting causes, The muscles may be slightly swol- len and very sensitive. Sometimes the attacks come on suddenly and apparently without cause. as a kink in the back. following a. slight twist or strain. Frequently a patient may wake up in the morning. as you know, with a stiff neck. How to Prevent Rheumatism. A few hints concerning the pre- vention of rheumatism: The clothing should always be adequate to protect the body from changes in tell-literature. yet suited to the atmospheric conditions pres- ent. A sveliollalanced diet should be ob- served. Milk is always on accept- able article of diet in cases of rheu- matism. Lemonade and mineral waters may be freely used. Plenty of water should be taken and the intestinal tract kept open. Persons suffering from rheuma- tism should have a careful physical examination made to determine if possible the cause that is producing the disagreeable symptoms. When it has been determined that in the opinion of the examining physician at focal infection exists in . the body this condition should be corrected. . trodyne believe his set is better than a rodent and the owner of a. reflex believe his set is better than a neu- trodyne. . .

S. By CHARLES P. STEWART WASHINGTON. Sept. 16.-——But for the fact that transportation fa- cilities are ample in the United States, a considerable part. of the South would be on the mo of as genuine a famine as ever gripped China. according to. arrivals in Washington from the drought belt. described at! extending roughly from the southern Virginia. llnd North and South Carolina coasts through most of Georgia. Alabama, Mississippi. Louisiana and into Texas. That it has been a dry season in this region is no news. but if relia- ble eye witnesses' stories are to be believed the situations real serious- ness is only Just beginning to‘ be revealed. I I _. Not only have crops suffered heavily. but' in some sections it is declared that good trees are dying. to such a depth is the earth .com- pletely dried out. Small lakes and numerous fairly large streams have disappeared so completely that their beds are deep I in dust and buszards are eating dead fish from them. References are made to Texas ranchmcn who are shooting their livestock. too emaciated to sell and doomed otherwise to a slowar death from lack of food and water. Many Georgia farmers are feed- ing ragweed to their swine and cut- ting small bushes for their other stock. Towns are mentioned which are bringing in their water supplies in tank cars.

That's what he's been doing latc- ly. at a prodigious rate. Indications are that next year he'll be scarce. Later on he may increase and multiply again. but his absence even for a single season will be a bless— ing.

Within the next few weeks more of them will be running here than ever before. This is re- sulting in many novel bits of pub- licity and propaganda. One night club. with an old-fash- ioned bar advertised free lunch. Then men were hired to stand in line to attract others. The club management quietly passed out the word that it was embarrassed by this public demonstration and feared prohibition officials would close the club. You can't find an empty seat in the place now. Another club was about to shut up because of lack of business. Then a prominent society woman tele- l phoned for reservations. The man- ager told her that all the tables were reserved and that there was no room for her. Indignant. she spread the word among some of her intimates. The manager spread the word quietly among others. Now i the place is a great success. -—JAMES W. DEAN. __.__.___.___.__——- SPRAY FOB.

I‘ axis. on the earth is in motion and ought to produce a. malletio field as a result. by DAVID DIETZ. Scientists have known for many years that the earth is a magnet. having a north magnetic and south magnetic pole corresponding to the poles of any ordinary magnet. The Carnegie Institution has spent much time studying the mag- netic properties of the earth. main- taining a number stations and using a ship. the Car- negle. I steel in study magnetic effects at sea. of observation which contains no iron or its entire construction. to But still the reason why the earth 5 a magnet remains one of the mysteries which the pioneers upon the frontier of science must solve. There are a number of things which come to mind as being the sources of the. easflt‘s But calculations show that these are magnetism. nsufficient. For example. it is a well known fact that the earth's surface pos- sesses an electric charge. If an electric charge is put in me- ion. a magnetic field is produced. That is why a wire is surrounded by a magnetic field when an electric current flows through it. Now the earth is rotating on its Therefore this electric charge But calculations show that the magnetic field which wolid‘ be pro- duced in this way would be only one hundred-millionth of the magnetic field which the.earth does possess. I I 0 Another factor to be taken into consideration is the matter of which he earth itself is composed. The ultimate particles are the crop. in any rate. a a g The southeastern states. with the exception of Florida, are suffering appreciably also from the rush to the latter state. In Georgia particularly. just across the state line. the southward movement is spoken of as having assumed almost the proportions of a gold stampede. The Georgians. with less faith in the Florida boom than the Flori- dians have. expect to see the tide turn a'nd sweep back in due course. it shows no shigns of doing so as yet. however. and in the mean- time its effect on Georgia business is the reverse of satisfactory to res- idents there. I I I The proposal to create a federal government department of educa- tion. with a cabinet member at its head. will be pushed vigorously at the next session of Congress. but it will meet with energetic opposition, too. Opponents of the plan take the position that education. of all things. is the one particular thing which ought not to be centralized. Even if a secretary of education should start out without much pow- tionai school system under his de- partment's autocratic control. - I I I Centralized educational direction. of the old German type. may be ef- ficient and scientific, the' decentral- isationaiists concedc.. but' they say they don‘t like the results it gave in Germany. at any rate.

Now the proton is the unit of positive electricity and the electron is the unit of negative electricity. Therefore the rotation of the earth means that all these units of electricity are rotating and therefore ought to produce magnetic fields. However. each atom contains the same number of protons as it does electrons. As a result. the field created by the positive units ought to ‘balance that created by.fhe negative units. - I I Professor W. P‘. G. Swann of Yale University suggests a possible ex- planation of the mystery. He suggests that it is likely that when in rotation positive and nega- tive electricity behave differently. He has complicated mathematical reasons to support this view. . According to‘this view, the amount of positive electricity is being slowly decreased as a result of the rotation. Therefore there is an excess of negative electricity and. as a result of this. the earth's magnetic filed is produced.' FEWER HIRED MEN.
