*Thin’ Blood Ridiculous,
Claims Noted Physician
Of ail the ridiculous beliefs, the
idea that the blood is thin and needs
thickening is one of the most laugh
able, according to Dr. N. Loveil.
M. D., of Los Angeles.
True enough, you may feel col l
You may be weak. You may have
poor vitality. You may function in
adequately. If you do, the over
whelming probabilities are that it
is not because your blood is ‘‘thin"
or needs thickening.
The chances are that if there is
something wrong with the blood, it
is infected, or toxic, or laden with
the intestinal debris of too fancy a
diet.
The cold-resistant qualities of
your body are dependent upon a se
ries of factors—for instance, the
amount of padding of fat you have,
how much oxidation you really do,
the quality of your food, the extent
of the elimination, your functional
habits, and so on.
We know that food will give heat,
but, in order for it to heat the body,
we know we must have oxygen.
How much oxygen can you get
when your chest is stooped, when
you have indulged in no greater
sport or exercise than walking from
your bed to the bathroom or from
your front porch to the garage
door?
How few there really are who
have not eaten enough. Genuine
hunger, in spite of radical propa
ganda, is seldom found. Malnutri
tion—yes, in overwhelming quan
tities. But we find malnutrition in
the homes of the high and the low.
It is this which makes thin blood,
if we accept any such arbitrary def
inition. Thorough chemical analy
sis reveals no such thing as thin
blood.
Crime, Insanity Causes
Similar, Doctor Claims
Domestic difficulties, syphilis and
excessive use of alcohol arc com
mon causes of crime and insanity,
according to Dr. J. G. Wilson, who
resigned recently as director of hos
pitals and mental hygiene,
A paper on “Interlocking of Crim
inal and Mental Disease Problems,” j
prepared by Dr. Wilson, was read at ]
the annual meeting of the Kentucky
Psychiatric association, at the Unif
ied States Public Health Service hos
pital in Lexington, Ky.
Both cause and treatment of
crime and insanity are similar, Dr.
Wilson declared in the paper. Once
it was the ball and chain or soli
dary confinement for criminals and
.violently insane persons, he wrote,
land the treatment and care still is
similar in that there must be order
land discipline in institutions for the
rehabilitation of criminals and also
for hospitals for the insane. Like
wise occupations must be found for
'prison inmates and occupational
therapy for the insane, and there
•should be education, recreation,
•health measures and religious I

Bald Hagle
I Bald eagle was chosen as nation
al emblem of United States because
geographically its habitat extends
over the whole of North America,
and its untamed strength and cour
age is considered symbolic of our
freedom. This eagle became U. S.
symbol with adoption of Great Seal
in 1782 and with early examples of
American coinage. The Great Seal
was adopted after suggestions of
Benjamin Franklin, Will Barton,
Sir John Prestwick and others. It
shows bald eagle with wings out
spread; on its breast a shield of 13
-alternate red and white stripes,
joined by a band or chief of blue
representing congress. Some of
earliest coins of this country show
eagle, including the 175)5 gold eagle,
the 1794 silver dollar and early
minor coins.
Benjamin West, Artist
American art found its first great !
figure in Benjamin West, master !
painter and teacher of the first j
school of truly American artists. (
He was born at what was then
Springfield (now the campus of
Swarthmore college) October 10.
1738, and died in London, March 11,
1820, He early showed great talent
and received first instruction in art
from William Williams, an English
artist living in Philadelphia. West
first painted portraits in Philadel
phia and later in New York. In
1760 he went to Italy to continue his
art studies and in 1763 went to Lon
don. Although he never returned to
American shores, West kept in close
contact witii America in subjects of
his paintings and in his pupils—
Charles Willson Peale, Gilbert
Stuart, etc.
i
Even His Bees Failed
Here’s a story which should win
the first prize at an Ananias club
contest. It was told by A. Shinkle,
now of Arcadia, Calif., who lived
many years in Dawson. He started
a ranch, intending to stay Outside,
but termites got into the house,
bugs in the plants, disease killed
his chickens, the cow became sick,
the horse died, crops failed, fruits
frosted but he still had his bees.
Then the old Queen Bee fell in love i
►vith a horsefly, they married and
hatched a big flock of queer bees
which made honey tasting like
horseradish. Shinkle has decided to
quit farming and go to mining in the
Yukon again.

U. S. Better Place
It appears that Angelo Vinic, for
mer Omaha high school student,
won’t have to be a soldier for
Mussolini after all. Angelo stowed
away on a ship bound for his native
Italy last November. Since arriving
there he has bombarded officials
' and Omaha relatives with pleas for
i aid in obtaining a passport, so he
could return home and escape being
j drafted into the army. Represen
tative McLaughlin (Dem., Neb.)
sent word that the American consul
at Palermo, Italy, has been author
ized to issue the passport.
The Mischianza
The Mischianza (also spelled
i Meschianza) was tli£ complimen
tary festival given to General Howe
by the British soldiers in Philadel
phia May 18, 1778, before his de
parture for England. The name,
Mischianza (Italian for “medley”)
was chosen because of the variety
iof the entertainment. The fete in
cluded an elaborate regatta, a tour
i nament, a banquet and a ball ar
! ranged by Maj. John Andre. The
j spectacle was an overpowering dem
j onstration of the artistic resources

Bees’ Eyes
The impression that bees are at

eous by experimenters of the Amer
ican Museum of Natural History.
They have learned that* bees and
other insects see colors beyond the
ultraviolet end Gi the spectrum. Ul
traviolet, to the human eye, is black,
I the absence of light. When photo
graphed through ultraviolet filters,
certain flowers reveal patterns very
different from the colors seen by
the human__retina. _
