Pursuit of Pleasure
Costly to Health, Educators Told
New York, Nov. 24.~Dr. Eu
gene Lyman Fisk told members
of the American Education con
ference that the modern young
woman’s self-coBfidence in her
ability to defy convention and
tradition may be somewhat shak
en by the knowledge that she is
giving away under the strain and
that she is not as good an ani
mal as her brother.
% g Lessening of Years.
The price exacted of the flap
per by what she considers her
• freedom, Dr. Fisk said, is a less
ening of her years, an inability
to get all that should he obtain
ed from life, physically and spir
itually, and a general deprecia
tion of health.
“I am not charging theso re
sults wholly to the neglect of
personal hygiene,” he added, "but
to the whole post-war situation,
emphasizing the materialistic and
self-indulgent standard of living;
a certain hard crust of selfishness
leading to unwillingness to do
anything that is troublesome or
dietaateful—especially to take ad
vice and act upon it if it inter
feres with pleasure.

the rate is decidedly higher
among females.
... Tuberculosis, influenza and the
mortality ot child-birth are chiefly
responsible for this excess. Par
ticularly- distressing is the fact
that tuberculosis, which has been
sturdily yielding in most groups
of the population, is here so defi
ant and resistant.
Tuberculosis Gains.
The growth of the cigarette
habit among young women has led
directly to an increase in the tu
berculosis rate, Dr. Fisk main
tained. Faulty diet and late
hours, added to the strain of
commercial and industrial em
ployment and the unfavorable in
fluence of sedentary business life,
also are factors in the return
ing prevalence of the disease, he
sdid.
This condition is not a neces
sary accompaniment of present
civilization, the physician contend
ed, asserting thpt graduates of
women’s colleges show a very low
mortality rate and “an apparent
substantial improvement in phy
sique as compared with the col
lege^ gfrl * df a quarter century
ago. tt
But, he said, examination of
many thousands of ydung women
in commercial and industrial life
had disclosed “a high ratio of
physical impairment and a re
gulable prevalence of tubercu
losis or pretuberculosis condit
ions.”

Father Receives $5 a Day to I
Take His Children to School |
_
Lackawaxen, Pa., ‘Nov. 24.—At
a meeting of the school board of
this township it was discovered
that last year a citizen, quite
within the law, technically, had
received between $4 and $5 a day
from the school fund for services
in driving his own children to and
from school throughout the entire
Session.
It also wae disclosed by the
county superintendent that thou
sands of children in Pennsyvania
are deprived of educational advan
tages despite the compulsory ed
ucation law. V*
One of these disclosures helps
to explain the other.
If a school is closed, under the
law, and there .is no other school
within a specified distance, it be
comes a duty of the state to pro
vide transportation to the nearest
district.
No Objections.
A father, who, it was intimated,
had made no objections to having
the school closed near his home,
received the contract to transport
his own children to another
school.
It was said that he received al
as much for his services as
the teacher herself.
The law is not so jealous of the
rights of all children, the super
intendent said.
If parents move into a district
where there is no schpol within
a specified number of miles they
cannot insist upon transportation
for their children, and, on the oth
er hand, cannot be compelled to
send their children to school.
One father was before the
board to demand that his daugh
ter be allowed transportation, and
concluded his petition with the
naive suggestion: “I thought if
the board would allow me a $1.50
a day, I wouldn’t mind taking
her myself. P

Have you ever followed a zigzag mountain trail, a
little trail that often changes its mind, that always

It’s a wise trail. It avoids the rocks that might stop
its progress. It wants to reach the top.
Advertisements help you wisely to change your mind.
They turn you away from the soaps and sj^oes you
thought you would buy, and induce you to purchase
4 better soaps and better shoes at no greater cost.
Advertisements steer you right. They want you to

cer brought Mrs. De Falco before
a magistrate. Through an inter
preter Mrs. De Falco explained
why Ida is not at school.
Daughter Killed.
The trouble in the house started,
according to the woman’s story,
when her eldest daughter, Eliza
beth, was shot and killed last sum
mer.
Mrs. De Falco says the shooting
was accidental, but her husband
was arrested afterward and is now
in the Tombs facing trial for the
killing of his daughter.
Ida Disappeared.
At that time zca was sent up
town to an uncle, the mother said.
She disappeared from the uncle’s
house, and has not been seen since.
So Mrs. De Falco does not see
how she can be held blameworthy
for ndt sending Ida to school whan
she has no idea where Ida is, and
especially when so many other
troubles are pressing on her.
The family has no means of
support now, the mother said.
When she was asked why she had
not notified the Missing Persons
Bureau, she said she had not
known such an agency existed.
Notwithstanding her story, the
magistrate held her responsible
to the extent of $1 fine, which the
woman paid, after scraping to
gether dimes and nickels from her
pocketbook.
