Editorial Correspondence CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 4. Motored over here from Buf falo through Erie, Pennsylvania and the Ohio grape country. Throughout this motor trip, the most noticeable feature of the highway traffic, has been the large number of motor driven "gondolas" transporting small shipments of new cars. Four or five cars are piled up, in cradle fashion, while another car draws them along, usually at high speed. Just as we left Buffalo we saw the yards where the cars are unloaded from the boats, hun-. dreds of them, largely Plymouths and Chevs. They were being loaded for motor distribution throughout the east. Not difficult to understand why railroad revenues from auto freight have fallen off. This being on the eve of the Fourth, the four track highway was pretty well congested, everyone apparently beating it for the country to spend the great national holiday. Because of this and also because our former visit in Cleveland was spent in a noisy down town hotel, we wrote ahead to a friend to secure accommodations somewhere outside of the Cleveland business district. Before leaving Buffalo we received a wire, stating that accommodations for the family circus had been secured at the Kirtland Country club, about 20 miles cast and I south of Cleveland. We were assured the place would be com fortable and quiet. . ' It was comfortable all right, one might even add luxurious - but who said anything about quiet! The club decided to have a Fourth of July eve dance, which started about ten p. m, and ended up we should say at five o'clock. There was a ten-piece orchestra, and a couple of tireless and muscular men, at the pianoforte and the drum. About two a. m. everyone went swimming in the illuminated swimming pool, which as luck would have it was just outside of the bedroom window, as the dance was just beneath the bedroom FLOOR I "Wo have listened to coyotes howl at the moon or whatever it is they howl at and been informed next morning that there were not coyotes, but only one solitary coyote. We felt somewhat the same next morning, when the waiter at breakfast said the dance was a small one there being so many rival social events the night before the Fourth only about 50 people were present. Let us declare here and now that 5000 boiler makers could not have made more noise 1 But of course not being in a hotel, where every guest has some personal rights, we had no privilege of protest. We simply had to "take it" and we did. When the dance finally broke up, and we had visions at last of sleep, we gradually became conscious of another noise, which we realized had been going on for a long time. This noise resembled the periodic bawl of a sick cow and the fact finally penetrated our jumbled con sciousness, that the continued darkness at five a. m. was due itonort of th banks show a sharp to a thick foe which had descended on nearby Lake Erie.

A fan sends a message which all you girls around forty had better hear: "I'm so delighted with the results of the 'Last Brady Symphony1 I can't thank you enough. am Just . forty and was going stale and becom ing a bore to my good husband, (Maybe some of you good hus bands should Its- ten la too). , "I know the reason we lazy cnea get results from your Symphony when other tx erclses fall so sadly. You start us right with the phrase: 'If a little la good more Is not always better.' Do lng all the exercises only once o: twice at first neither frightens u softies nor makes us sore. "I do wish you could somehow per suade all listless, lifeless Dumb Doras to begin your Symphony. After one month of It they would never again be stiff, creaky jointed mammas . (Mrs. M. H. R.)" Back before the war X composed set of exercises which I believed of value to most sedentary adults who were Inclined to go flabby and atale and described them In my column and also in a pamphlet which was widely distributed, usually without charge. I not only prescribed this medicine but took It myself. Then a shrewd merchant saw a chance to commercialize the Idea, and after the war the country was well sold on thefie exercises under a catchy name and the sponsorship of a gentleman who had long been known as a writer on and hence an "authority" on sports or athletics. How much the gentleman made from the stolen idea we don't care. No matter who recommends or pre scribes the exercise, there Is no exer cise any one can take that Is better to keep one fit than dally walking. Indeed, If a business man or woman can afford to walk from three1 to six miles daily, say to and from work. he or she needs no other exercise to keep fit. Wage slaves who have to ride to and from work are the ones who must put in at least ten minutes daily at calisthenics of one kind or another In order to retain the appear ance of youthfulnese and a fair de gree of vigor or pep. Trouble with many "stiff creaky Jointed" women and men of forty Is that they are Indisposed to take ex ercises as long as the sitting Is pleas ant. This Is both an effect of over eating (due to unbalanced diet) and a cause of premature ageing, or at least the appearance and manner of age. What they need, first, Is cor rection of the fault In nutrition; also a ration of lodln. As soon as they manifest signs of coming to they can begin taking their calisthenics dally. Not the fool stunt advised by so many unqualified persons, but simple movements designed to restore to activity muscles that are least used In the abnormally passive life sedentary workers lead. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Spiders In the Basement During the summer we have many small spiders In the basement, and very small ante In the kitchen. How may we keep the house free from these pests? (W. R.) Answer The spiders are there to prey on other Insects, particularly flies. Keep out the other Insects and the spiders will soon quit the prem ises.' Send a dime and stamped en velope bearing your address and ask for the booklet "Unbidden Quests." It tells you how to eradicate ants, 'skeeters, files, cockroaches, bedbugs or what have you. Good Tonic . Have had all my teeth pulled on account of a bad stomach. Twenty three of them were ulcerated. I am feeling much better and gaining weight but still have dizzy spells . . . would a good tonic do any good? (C. L.) Answer I know of no such remedy. If the removal of the teeth eradicated the source of your trouble, you'll re cover good health without further treatment. Of course your diet needs special care and you should have your pnysician's advice about this. Antitoxin In sn article entitled "Too Much Antitoxin Can't Be Given" you men tion that you administered antitoxin In full dose to your own child on a mere suspicion of diphtheria. How come? Wasn't your own child im munized? If so, why the antitoxin? (P. S. P.) Answer The child was not Immu nized. Ed. Note: persons wishing to communicate with Dr. Bnuly should send letters direct to Or.

Rube doldberg and ' John Golden did. I went to the country to sit on verandahs, . gaze pensively out to sea and meditate on the blessed promises. But here I am In bor rowed golf togs wandering about like a fellow lost after an airplane crash. Four byslttera saw me try to tee off, miss and grab for my falling britches In one stroke. Two. with no more culture than razor backs, laughed out loud and the other two pretended to be hunting for something behind a tree. I suppose no one grunts "oof I" when swinging a club. And can I help It If my pants don't fit? This time I'll hit that ball If I have to do a little plowing under. I not only hit It, but I bequeath the club the makings of a first class well with love and kisses. Z believe I tore something loose In that first wild swing. Snapped like a new pair of suspen ders. Maybe was a ligament. That would be me. One awing at a golf ball and I'm laid up string-halted for the summer. I have a nice home. good neighbors, a zither and three charge accounts but I leave all to come out here and bust a puckering string. oak troe knots. , As a contretemps a couple of club house cats staged some sort of an argument about 6 :45 E.

The Kirtland Country olub was and is a very sumptuous place. The main club house it seems, was built by a certain traction .company magnate just .before the interurban electric line business, collided head on with Henry Ford's Lizzie, and folded up forever. Brother T. M. never occupied the mansion, so a group took it over with an immense acreage and trans formed the same into a golf and country club. The golf course is said to be one of the finest in Ohio, there are a laf go number of tennis courts, a stable of hunters (the members can chase a fox if they so desire) and as before mentioned a very splendifer ous swimming pool. There is also a large locker room, which inoludes Squash -courts, bedrooms (for men only) and a well stocked bar. Of course there is a restaurant, the charge for dinners being $2 per. When we settled up after a couple. of days we found that the restaurant has no a la carte service. After a drive to a nearby country home, a swim and heavy tea, we returned to our peaocful sylvan retreat with no desiro for a four or fivo course dinner. So two members of the party had graham craokers and milk. Each had a half pint bottle of milk and a hand full of crackers their combined bill, fellow victims of the depression, was $41. , .

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS THESE headlines greet the eye as these worda are written, and by the time they are read even more startling ones may be In order: "National Guard Mobilizing. Cali fornia Ready to Bring Troops to San Francisco. Bay Region Waterfront Turned Into Battle Ground by Labor Disorders." - MODERN civilization haa accom plished a lot, but It baa still a long, long way to go before reach ing anything approaching perfection. ANOTHER disturbing thought: How csn we hope to prevent ware among nations when we can't prevent ware between Individual groups within one nation? ANOTHER headline: ; "Five Convicts Escape from Oregon Prison." Suppose Jordan, whose sentence has Just been commuted to life Im prisonment, had been among the five? The last time ha got out of the penitentiary, he committed a mur der within a month. what would he do again? THERE la this to be said for capi tal punishment for murderers: It stops them EFFECTIVELY, from committing any more murders. BUT let u turn away from strikes and Jsllbreak, and such. These things are depressing In the extreme, and there Is so much to depreaa ua In these uncertain days that we need ENCOURAGEMENT from time to time. Here Is a little of It: The office of Information of the U. 8. department of agriculture telle us: "Farm prices, Including benefit paymenta on the domestically con sumed portions of the seven com- modltle originally defined aa basic In th agricultural department act. had an average value In May, 1934. 30'per cent higher than In May, 1933. and 60 per cent higher than In March, 1933." That Is to say, price of these seven commodities that farmers have to sell have risen about a third faster than prices of commodities' farmers buy. YOU'VE read, of course, of the sensational run of the Burling ton's new, light, streamlined train from Denver to Chicago, So here are some figures that may Interest you: The run, covering 1017 miles, was made In 13 hours, at an average speed of 78 miles sn hour, which Is start ling enough. But listen to this: The total cost of fuel for the thousand-mile run of this new passenger train waa S14.8S. r, YOU want to appreciate the the startling nature of that state ment, try driving an ordinary pas senger automobile from Chicago to Denver, or any other thousand mllea In the country, on 114.88 worth of gssoltne. . pQUALLY startling progress, how ever, Is probably In store for the Little man what now?
