only the doomed may know. Xow slie is dead and done with it
all at a time when she might have been happier than ever and
more famous than she dreamed. This country was more than
ordinarily fond of her, for Alma was an artist of motion pic
tures. And so you fall to thinking. Why couldn't she have
been one trf the teh.'ii'acters she drew and not poor Alma Hubens?
They singe their wings in Hollywood; make no mistake of it.
Sometimes they don't, but all too often they do. The tempera
ment that lifts tltein into artistry betrays them inlo torment. Of
a sudden life is alike too generous and too exacting. and they
so very young. It was that way with Wallaee Keid, who was
beloved of the public as greatly as was Alma Kubens. And the
lights falter and the curtain falls. You think of them, somehow,
as of children for whom yon have felt fondness, and whose fate
was pit il'ul.
There, must be another way. There must be some way to
leaeh the children of Hollywood how to live sanely, how to meet
their responsibilities honorably, how to overcome the handicap
of too much money and fame and work. There must be Nome
way. Itut nobody seems to have thought of it, anil they them
selves give no thought lo it until they are trapped. It is an
American tragedy; and we who watch it make gossip of it.
An inordinate price lo pay for entertainment, on our part,
and a cruel bargain to make for fame on theirs. What's fame
to Wally Moid and Alma KubciiH now? All the pictures that
they might have made, the pictures of which they dreamed and
for which we waited where are these!? Oregonian.
HELPING WOMEN
PVKRYOXE interested in making America a better place to
- live in should welcome, the news that the Senate has passed
the Jones bill, which is in substance the old Sheppard-Towner
act for eo-operation between the states and the federal govern
ment in reducing infant and maternal mortality. The govern
ment would appropriate $1,(Mi0,0(H) annually to be used in this
way. Opponents of the bill have advanced many nrguinents
against it, but. they have never been able to explain away the
drop in the death rates which occurred when the Sheppard
Towner net was in effect.
The Jones bill is in one respect better than the old Jones law,
in that it is not limited to a definite period, and would therefore
continue in effect until repealed. The measure now goes to the
House, where it has n good change of passage, with the prob
ability that in conference it will be combined with the measure
giving similar aid, in increasing annual amounts up to a maxi
mum of $:,(!( 10,0(10, for promoting health in rural districts.
We are glad lo report that if also seems probable that the
work in regard to infancy and maternity will continue to
be done under tin; able direction of Miss (irace Abbott through
the Children's Hurcati of the Department of Labor. The Xew
Republic.
TIME TO
F OW 'joust ruclioii costs utako
time to start building homes,
struetures, a nation-wide survey by American Huilder and Build
ing Age, contractors' magazine, reveals.
fCosts are down from 10 to HO per eent in praetieally every
part of the United Stales, and average M per eent lower than
last year. Indications are that they have reached button..
The magazine mentioned is eondueting a drive to get eon-
traetors and builders started on
ing people to take advantage of the existing unusually favorable
conditions for building, and publishes in its February issue
articles from several leaders of the building industry.
"Ijiibor today is at a peak of effieieiivy ; material prices are
low, and these two important faetors should prove an eeonomie
incentive for persons to build now," is the summary of condi
tions by Oscar W. Hosenthal of
nois Ituilding League. "A-mmncrriiil building eonstrui'tiou costs
are iL'jj per eent below ll,-J7; residence costs l." per eent be
low.
"Any person needing a building of any type, now or within
the next two years, can save from l." to .1(1 per eent on his in
vestment by starting the project at onee states Julian Clar
ence Levi, architect, New York City. "New buildings are on
the bargain counter. One example noted is an owner who, early
last spring, had a set of drawings figured siud secured an esti
mate of if.Yl.iHHt from a reliable eonlraetor. The same eontrac
tor is now going ahead with the job for $.$0.0(10.''
The limit of ten divorces in eerttiNi parts of Russia sounds
reasonable cnouizh. After thai much experience one should
know the futility of trying to live in the same house with anyone.
The bull seldom triumphs in
trying to establish a republic.

TOMATOKti VK.
Dr. William Weston, chuirman
of the section on diseases of chil
dren, r-afd In an address before
the liiHt annual'
convention of tho
national medical
association that
oranges and to
miilucs or their
juices are about
euunl in their
Vllamln .C value
(that Ik the vita

iu lllll
that louuuocH have slightly greater
Vitamin A nnd Vitamin li values;
than orangey have. This should
be reassuring to people who find
It difficult to get fresh orange
Juice for the baby, for tomato
Juice is nulto s valuable in In
fant feeding.
This noted authority further
asserted that both -tomatoes and
oranges have greater vitamin val
ues when allowed to ripen on
vine or tree than they have when
artificially ripened by ethylene
linn or by exposure to air and
sunlluht.
Finullv lr. Weston, who hails
from Columbia, S. t. called at
tention to tho large amount of
food lodin in tomatoes grown hi
South Carolina and compared
them with oniugcs in this and
other respects. He had no diitu on
the lodin content of oranges grown
In California, but he believed It
It he low. as It ha hern Invar
iably found to be in other toeds
grown In California.
Here is the way Ir. Weston
compared tomatoes and ornngen:
The table shows parts per mil

copper, respectively: sua

Whether oranges aro very low
in lodin content or not. they are
less than half as rich In iron as
tomatoes. I
I have heard people solemnly
assert that they liked tomatoes. I

learn to like 'em. but I confess,

Dr. Weston took one moro wick
ed wallop at the golden west be
fore he left the subject of toma
toes and oranges. He declared
that infants can take a larger
quantity of- tomato juice than thoy
can of orange juice, fresh or can
ned, without manifesting ill ef
fects.
Wo need not compare tomatoes

effects, but if one likes tomatoes

Answer I don't know about

that Is a minor matter. The Im

a skilled man to teach you the
technic nnd he will advise you

method of choice.

Cl'RIVG BAD IHBITS
By Alice Jndson Feale.
The easiest and most natural
thing to do when a child does
something you don't want him to
Is simply to tell him to stop do in
It. Unfortunately this method, by
Itself, In bound to bo Ineffective.
Suppose your child Is in the habit
jof helping hinwelf to any candy ho
finds laying about the living room.
The easiest and most effective way
of stopping him is to remove tho
candy. - Whenever tho-. situation
may be thus aimply solved, it is
much tho best way.
We need not be afraid that In
making it eay for the child to be
good we ar depriving him of nec
essary disciptlno. Kvcry child him
plenty of adjustments to make.
The entire process of growing up
demands of him constant sacrifices
of Instinctive pleasures.
Where It Is not possible to 'ro
move temptation entirely, as in the
cade of a child who insists upon
lilting his nails, we can-at least
help him by manicuring them.
Having dono this, w can direct
him to some other aatlvtty when
ever wo see fingers go Into his
mouth.
Furnishing tho child with a de
sirable activity In place of an un
desirable one is a fundamental
principle of nil child training. If
your child likes to mark up the
wulls with his crayons, give him
large pieces of paper to mark up
instead.
In finding good fiubstpute activ
ities for bad ones It is well Wher
ever possible to offer him some
ting which will give him as nearly
as possible the same pleasure.
Don't take away the hammer from
the child who is pounding the fur
niture and ank him to play with
his kiddy kar. flive him instead a
block of wood or an old box which
he may pound with Impunity.

THE GAME
By Mary Graham Bonner
The playground up In the air was
surrounded by hinl walls and the
baseball diamond took up a large
part of the field, mm
i ne i.uiie uiacK .
Clock had turned Ij
the time so larl
ahead, and yet it I
Eeenied that thej
hnva worn ffninc tn I
play baseball JustKtlM
as they did in the!
oin nays. fc-A-And
it waa lustE
the same. They dis-l
cussed rules before
they began and!
there were only a"
few slight chances. In factrthc
boys didn"t reallzo that Jolin did
not belong to their own time.
They had not known the name of
his school, but then they did not
know tho nnmes of all schools!
I'eggy and some of the other
girls sat and watched the game,
and the boys who were not on the
team but who might be called In
to play did so. too.
John was never so roud and
happy In all bis life nnd how proud
I'eggy was of him. too!
What do you suppose lie did? He
hit a home run right over the walls
of the playground nnd three others
scored on his homer.
He played a fine game as short
stop, too. and didn't make a single
error. In fact, ho was a great help
to tho team with which ho played,
and bis side won.
As they wero going home In tbclr
Plane with the Utile Hlack Clock
later that evening after an cloven
Inning game, ho said:
"It's great to think that, when
you turn the time way ahead that
baseball Is still played. But I guess
they couldn't find any game that
would be better. "
The Mttlo Hlack Clock thought
John's guess was a Rood one, and
as ho left them to tako his place
on the desk in the back hall he
said:
"On Monday evening wo'ro going
to see something that will please
I'eggy especially."
lie didn't tell them anything
more. In fact, his hands pointed
now to seven o'clock.
Monday "Alba."
