A boy is worth $9,333 when he is

to rear him to the age of eighteen
and produce the net income which
he may be expected to earn from then
on. It costs the average family $7,238
t< bring up a boy and put him throui "

teen. however, he is worth $28,654,

On that basis the male population
of the United States is worth one
trillion, one hundred and forty-four
billion dollars.
GASOLINE
Cheaper gasoline and a smaller sur-
plu of heavy fuel oil are the results
ex; ltd from the adaption in this
country of a new German process for
adding hydrogen gas to crude petro-
Lem. This is one of the revolutionary
ci cover es of science, which are be­
ing made so rap dly that every indus­
try has to be constantly on the look­
out le't its whole methods have to be

Not so many years ago gasoline was
- waste product. Then Daimler in­
vented the gasoline engine and that
part of the petroleum suddenly be­
came the most useiul. Tne Lleisel en­

not yet been sufficiently developed to
consume anything like the surplus left
alter the gasoline has been extracted.

Thirty-seven ships of w ar steamed

Overhead 160
Navy airplanes, loosed from the deck
of tlie airplane carrier “Saratoga,"
socred over the city. It was the
Navy’s demonstration of strength, and
an impressive one.
Navy men do not like the program
of reducing armaments. They would
like us to believe that all the rest of
the w-orld is watching for a chance to
pounce upon us and that only an enor­
mous Navy can keep us from being
gobbled up.
One does not have to agree with
their point of view, however, to admit
that a battle fleet in the Hudson River
is a magnificent spectacle and that a
flock of airplanes can draw everybody
away from their desks and tools to
the roof-tops to watch the show. We
older folk will never get over our
wonder at seeing men fly. To the
youngsters it is already common­
place.
ENERGY
•
Most people think that the brain
needs as much food as the body does.
People c o n ta in of fatigue after men­
tal effort, and because they feel as
tired as if they had been using their
muscles they thir.k they must have
used up as much energy as If they had
been working with their bodies.
Scientists at Wesleyan University
have been studying the energy re­
quirements of brain-workers for years,
and have announced that all of the
energy- expended in a solid hour of the
Most intense mental effort can be re­
placed by eating half of a salted pea­
nut! Five minutes spent in dusting
a desk consumes more energy tlian
an hour of hard mental work at the
desk.
gs
Much of the so-called mental
fatigue is physical fatigue. The writer
who is tired after a day at the type­
w riter or pen is tired because of the
physical efi rt of writing. Many who
complain of brain-fag after a day of
business conferences should rather
complain of "talk-fag.” The physical
effort of continuous speaking is a great
energy-consumer, as every orator and
actor knows.
Most often, so-called mental fatigue
comes from the failure to eliminate
wastes properly from the body. The
one thing the brain-worker needs most ,
is physical exercise in the open air.
MOVIES
Mr. Will H. Hays, President of
the Motion Picture Producers and
D i s t r i b u t o r s of America, very
courteously writes to me concerning
a comment in this column a few weeks
ago to the effect that the movies do
not give a real picture of life, and
sends me a quantity of printed matter
to prove that the picture men are do­
ing their best to keep the movies pure.
Purity is one thing and intelligence
is something else again. You can lay
down rules which if followed, will
prevent the movies from giving offense
even to the most prudish mind. There
are no possible rules by which people
who do not know the difference be­
tween truth and falsehood can be pre­
vented from putting false ideas on the
screen.
•)
The. motion picture is today the
most influential force in the world,
because it impresses the very young
through the most effective channel
for impressions, the eyes. For that
reason, the movies are a fair target
for criticism all the tiaw.
