We should teach them health as the chief ingredient of strength.' We are not doing this as much as we should, although the agency seems to . be strengthening. Healthy children will be called upon to do the work of the World. Some times a sickly, child grows into a healthful manhood, but -think what the man could have done if he had been physically equal with his fellow man. . The competition of the world is so keen, the strug gle for survival Is so desperate. that, the. strongest men have trouble maintaining themselves. The world needs strong men, men strong In body, strong in will, strong in heart and strong in cour age.. SLASHING TI1E TAX LEVY Secretary Mellon wants to knock $300,000,000 off the present gov ernment expense, and strange as it might seem, his plan is . met with the most determined .oppo sition in spite of the clamor and the protest against high . taxes. Ai a matter of fact, we all want money enough voted to take care of any" special thing in which we are interested, r ; Certainly there has been enough complaining about ! high 'axes to have congress believe that it is honest, -certainly ' there has ; been enough waste - In government ' so that if we can take liposome of the slack It would - be for better government as well i as a more economical administration. ' GETTING OURS The irrigation projects now under way should be carried to completion. "Jit is right and neces sary. But we should not start new ones. , The condition of agricul ture Is so unsettled that he is no benefactor who makes two stalks of wheat j grow where - one grew before. In the enthusiasm of our prosperity we sought to reclaim all the uncultivated land and won derful projects were, formed,, but fa the-.t following Repression the whole country suffered. : - i It Is wise to carry on yjjat.we have already outlined, bnt further than, that the government should not go. , y ' :' ":. : BETTER LEGS MOVEMENT 4- There have been various move ments in this country and a good many of them result In good. Some have worked a '.real , refor mation. :-The show here the other night " Indicated, that we need a better leg week. , The two dozen or more pairs of legs on exhibi tion were not such as would be a credit to the sex or to inspire women Uo major in I that particu lar development.

LAW VIOLATORS .rresiuenc woouage ipote no truer thing in his message than, after declaring that people should obey the law, he went further and said that all people should want it known that t hey obey the law. He is appealing to the innate pride of the upstanding Ameri can, and It is an appeal that should not go unheeded. " ?. .v: We have an intense epic orcycle of lawlessness. Men are hot re specting the law. They only, want it enforced against the other fel low. We have reached the. point where we want the law enforced, and want people to know we want it enforced. HOOVER LOOKOUT ' Secretary Hoover has filed his annual report and it is just such a document as one would expeqt it to' be. Mr. Hoover is a man of large foresight and his conclu sions are accepted as the last word, on any. subject he "enters. Mr. Hoover says times are getting better, and proves it.

The next sev eral days I'll tell you how some of these things are done, as they have been explained to me by a profes sional : magician. Maxwell ' the Great. "First " cautions. Maxwell, "nev er, tell an audience what you are going to do because that gets them looking tfo" hard and they are" Ha ble to see' something' which yoa wish to keep hidden. ' Never ' re peat the trick the same way dur ing the same -performance. If you happen to have hard luck and give ypur.-trick away, .don't get fussed. Just -make a Joke out ot it and get your audience laughing with you. One of Maxwell's good tricks is to take a boiled potato and, after making a few mysterious passes over If, pour a little muddy water over it and turn it to a violet col or. He will then wash it in clear water but the color will not wash out;. The way it is done is to take a rear, boiled, or raw, potato and have a glass of muddy water in which there is some liquid iodine, The iodine will stain the potato violet in short order when jthe wa ter is 'poured over the potato.
