YOUR HEALTH A fifth of the Ciass 1 men examined for the American army during the World War were found physically unfit to perform i any kind of military service either at home or abroad. This is 1 the most striking fact discovered by Surgeon General Merritte W. 1 Ireland, in his analysis of the examination of more than 4,000,000 ' selective service registrants. One cut of every five,'physically unfit even for nomc duly! If you are looking for the greatest national .. peril, thecr it is. As long as an individual has his health, it j doesn’t matter muc hwhat else hr.npens to him. The same is true of nations. Our whole civilization depends on fhe national health as its foundation. Curiously enough, and contrary to what most of us would expect, delects of the bones am! the organs of locomotion, which , enable our bodies to move, ranked first among the causes of army rejection. These defects constituted 17 out of each 100 rejections. Diseases of the heart and blood vessels came second, with 15 per cent of the total. Diseases of the eves ranked third. Then came tuberculosis. In Wyoming only 13 per cent, of the “applicants” | wore physically unfit. At the ether end of the lino was Rhode i Island, with 42 per cent so physically defective that they were J rejected. Rhode Island's bad showing, according to experts, was ; due to its being a factory state with a large part of its popuia- , ticn drawn from abroad where oppression and overwork for gen- J orations had undermined the health. Seems hard to believe, for • the average immigrant looks a lot healthier than the highiy- strung native American. ! Money-mad America thinks too much about its natural re- ! sources and industrial products, not enougii about our greatest » product—the human being and his health. Foreign trade, factory ■* output, the products of forest a..l mine and even of the farm—all \ these arc secondary to good health. Health should come forc- j. most. In many ways the government can help, is helping. But ^Hersonal health is ninc-tenthd up to the individual. Get plenty of jaholesomo food, sleep, fresh air and outd&or exercise, and, barring the bad luck of incurring germ diseases, health will be fairly good on the average. In particular, the auto driver should leck up his car and go about on foot at lca,t one day a week. When health is gone, the rest doesn’t count for much. Your body is ^ delicate machine. Take care of it. * in SQMETHING FOR NOTHING ’ A scheme for getting rich quickly occurred to Rafael Con soles, of Orizaba, Mfcxlco. Ho wrote polite and businesslike let ters to American newspapers', ordering daily 50 daily and 75 Sunday copies to -be sent regularly. The fishing was good, for Gonzales* promised to remit §100 Upon receipt of the first ship ment of papers. The idea of building up big circulation in Mex ico naturally -appealed to ambitious publishers. Maybe some of / then wondered how many Mexicans cculd read at all, let alone twid English print. The posloffice inspectors in Washington, D. ■ CT, have issued a fraud order against Gonzales, barring him from the mails. But Gonzales apparently got what he was after, for the official announcement from the inspectors says: "Senor Gon- ■ tales has-thus obtained large quantities of American -newspapers for which he paid nothing and has doubtless realized no small Vcvenuo through thoiv salo as wrapping paper. ’ Lately there has been a regular epidemic of frauds worked Americans by swindlers in foreign countries using our mails. Stjthe particular case of Gonzal-'.':, it occurs to you that a man of his ingenuity was wasting his Uses on a waste paper swindle. The same cleverness, applied to an honest and useful proposition, would make him increasingly rich. The,criminal mind, however, Mims to' have a peculiar warp that makes too getting ot wealth Hi-crooked means teem the easiest way. Ou the law of averages, it is cosier to gat rich honestly than dishonestly. You can picture Gonzales, sitting around for months or even years, rolling shuck cigarcts and running his resourceful brain -high-speed until he figured out his scheme. It is almost astound ing 1 ; the extent to which the human brain will resort to get some thing for nothing. In other words, to “get by” without honest, usetul endeavor. It is true of swindlers. And it is true of most of us, especially the swindlers’ victims. Wasting so much time! trying to get something for nothing) ia what keeps many people poor. There's not enough time left for really productive effort. Day-dreams unless embed within reasonable bounds, nave trie same efiect as cldoroicrm. on A ‘WItl Crimes involving money arc decreasing, says F. W. Lafrcntz. Ilea president of American Surety Co., waich bonds cashiers and . others entrusted with funds. Lafrentz, reporting that less money being ztclen, conveys the popular idea that tnere was a great --epidemic of dishonesty during llic war boom. To some extent, But the tuieves were stealing 50-cent dollars.

Crookedness increases with pros it perity. You’d think it’d be the other way around- * ! ; ' . Uncle Sam reports that over a million children, 10 to 15 years ! old, were “gainfully employed’ in 1919. If We had that situation S in a year of record prosperity, think what conditions must be when the pinch of hard times or even normal business drives the young into the ranks of child labor. A nation’s degree of civiliza- « tion is measured by its child labor situation and by its treatment of ), women. Progress by inventicna is surface stuff, not basic, ex- cept as it helps eliminate human slavery. - — — , • The skull of a dinosaur, giant beast,ss ! d to have lived five ** million year* ago, is dug up by scientists of American Museum of Natural History, Some of these prehistoric, mongers were as £ large as a. small bungalow.
