B.Ttrlf Kllla. Calll. Delivery of Aachen Ultimatum SHOULD AN EPILEPTIC MARRY? Fine young man Is aubject to epileptic attacks or spells, slight ones he does not fall or have a general lit or convulsion but he is out for several m 1 n - utes. A niece of his and a cousin both have similar spells. The young man re ceived a medl. cal discharge from the army a year ago. He Dt Brad? claims it start ed when he had a sunstroke. He has become engaged to marry, la his condition hereditary? Would his children be likely to have epilepsy? (Mrs. A. L.) Did his niece and cousin have sunstroke too? No, ma'am sun stroke does not cause any form of epilepsy. Further than to say that bad Inheritance is mainly respon sible for epilepsy, in the opinion of many medical authorities, I can only add that no specific cause of epilepsy is known. Not epilepsy itself but the neuropathic or psychopathic de feet of which it Is a manifesta tion runs in the family. In one member of the family this may be manifest as epilepsy; in an other as feeble-mindedness; in another as Insanity or Inebriety or drug addition or migraine or just some kind of moral, de pravity or delinquency. Where an individual has epi leptic fits (convulsions) which began in early life (childhood or adolescense) marriage should be forbidden. In mild cases so called petit mal (lapses of con sciousness but no spasms or con vulsions) marriage may be per mitted if the facts are fully re vealed to the prospective hus band or wife. In this instance the family his tory Is unfavorable children born to this young man would be too likely to be feeble-mind ed, epileptic or otherwise defer tive. If he marries at all it should be only to a woman who, for some reason is incapable of bear ing children anyway. It is unjust for such a person to marry with the intention or understanding that there shall be no children, if the partner is fit to be a parent. As a matter of fact no doctor, no authority can say positively that offspring of such a marriage will be defective in any way . Of course one or more children of an epileptic may be perfectly normal. But I have tried to an swer the correspondent's query by giving what I believe is the consensus of medical opinion to day. QUESTIONS & ANSWERS What, a Caie of Croup? Son. 6. has had what we call croup every winter since he was two. It strikes suddenly, at night, sometimes late In the afternoon. (Mrs. H. W.) Answer See that he has comfort ably warm clothing or covers, hut cool air to hreathe at night. If the weather Is too cold for open bedroom window, Insert screen of unbleached muslin In window. That will exclude wind, snow, rain, hut admit desirable fresh air and moisture. Send stamped envelope bearing your address for pamphlet "Croup Does still Happen.

Babion Babson Park Man , Oct. 13 (Special Correspondence) EdU' cation Is the one Industry In which almost no Improvement has been made during the past fifty, or perhaps, one hundred years. It Is true that better choolhouses have been built and the teachers are being bet ter paid. Whether or not these teachers are as well succeeding in winning the hearts and better ing the lives of their students Is debatable. Certainly, the educa tional standards have been de clining, while the educational ex penses have been Increasing. For instance, forty years ago the communities from which I drew employees required those who took the secretarial course to type 80 words a minute before graduating. This requirement has slowly been reduced so that today a girl can graduate from a secretarial course by doing 35 words a minute. Thoughts Per Minute Are Most Important However, employers are not so much Interested in the "words per minute," which one can do, as In thM "thoughts per minute." The subjects which are not be ing taught in school are the im portant subjects. As a result, most employers believe that edu cation today Is as backward as was the electrical Industry 200 years ago, In Franklin's day. when electricity could be ob tained only by flying a kite in the skies. School superintendents have yet to learn that the Im portant 'hlngs of life are the un seen and spiritual not class recitations written examinations and memory tests. With a set of Encyclopedia Britnnnlca on his desk plus the ability to rend, write and figure, the businessman has, for prac tical purnosrs, all the Informa tion available to any college graduate. The Important ques tion Is whether ho has those in tangible assets, such as charac ter, industry Initiative, courage and persistence. These are what our homes and schools should teach. High School Marks Are Not Paramount I have been able to get satis factory statistics on every Indus try except the educatlnnnl In dustry. Therefore. I cannot prove the students receiving the high est m,arlcs in school do not turn out to be the most useful and successful citizens. Certainly character, Industry, Initiative, eournge and persistence are of Infinitely more value than the ability to get high marks. In fact, I believe that those who have these qualities will make a success In life whether or not they ever see the Inside of a col lege; while young people lacking these qualities could never mount to anything with a dozen Ph.Ds. What is the reason and what is the answer? Educators tell us that It's a question of Inheritance and home training, but I beljeve it is much more than this. There is something physically and spiritually wrong with a boy who has not these vital qualities. Educators should go about stamping out Ignorance, faulty Judgment, laziness, etc., as phy sicians have stamped out small pox, cholera and typhoid fever. Preachers Should Be Of Greater Help The preachers should be of greater help In re-generatlng youth. Jesus hit the educational nail on the head when He said that we all must be born again In order to amount to anything. I am much interested In what the mental experts are accom plishing at certain state insane asylums. It seems paradoxical that the laboratories In these asylums may solve the educa tional problem of the schools and colleges; but present expert ments are pointing that way. The Babson Institute of 1994 will have a surgical department to operate on the glands and a dietary kitchen to supply certain students with needed minerals which they lack because of their home soil conditions. I am told that dumping students In Ice water has waked them up and has changed the entire course of their lives. At any rate, only when we have discovered a fool proof method of arousing youth spiritually and mentally will we be able to pay our present public ai'Dis oi itfuu.uuu.uOO.noo a year.

Their attorney, Dellmore Les sard, who has defended 25 or 30 members of this religious group, said these men "became mar tyrs" to the members of their faith, and when they serve out their terms come back for re sentencing. More and more Je hovah's Witnesses are being in dicted at every session of the grand jury, the attorney stated, and nearly all are appearing in court again at the conclusion of their sentences. "Whatever the answer to the problem may be," he said, "it should be one that won't make martyrs of them."
