WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1928 EEE ET TER SRS MODERN HERO WORSHIP it Ls Schooling, discipline and environment are not the only factors in the education of boys. The deeper foundations of his life are laid not by his teachers but by his heroes and the hours he spends in their worship, They give him ideals and write their messages of am- bition and courage in his heart. Though they be mythical and shawody, they exert a power over him and their inspiration is reflected in the bent and fiber of his character, Knights, robbers of the Robin Hood type, soldier adventurers, discoverers and chival- vous lovers once were the boon companions of the youthful spirit, Though they came to him in story and song, they were as real as flesh and blood heroes and probably had a greater influence for good over him because of that, The daily newspaper has wrought great change in hero worship. Modern youth idol- izes the living heroes he reads about on the front page, The flesh and blood hero is usurping, in the boy's heart, the place once held by the mythical and the dead, His heroes today are athletes, soldiers, aviators, explorers, inventors, captains of industry, and those who risk their lives in heroic deeds, Boy nature hungers for heroes to worship and grows on hero worship. From every standpoint the only thing better than a mythical or dead hero is a live hero, of which this generation has produced its share. The "¥ wise parent and teacher encourages such worship, so that the torch of high empire may one day pass to hands that are prepared for it, It is not cause for concern when the boy chooses for his idol a Robin Hood or a Cap- tain Kidd. He worships them not for their misdeeds but for their courage, love of ad- wenture and, in the case of Robin Hood, for his compassion for the unfortunate, SOUR GRAPE FEMINISTS 'I In a recent speech a prominent feminist berated and derided those who still believe women's place is in the home, In her opin- ion the theory that man should earn the liv- ing while the woman keeps his home is archaic and idiotic, - If the great majority of women believed as she does then it would be "archaic and idiotic" for women to remain in the home instead of making their own way in the business world, But it seems all but 8 hand- ful are archaic and idiotic enough to prefer the home to the career, There are self-reliant and aggressive women--strong women--superior women-- who. are equipped to compete with man in the world of business, Perhaps their place is not in the kitchen and nursery. But there are relatively few of these and what is best for them may not be best for the average woman, "And yet it seems the home needs the puperior woman. Why can not the superior woman make as good use of her rare quali- ¥ it E iil Yih -- i cy" calm, deliberate, professional duties. A society that finds it hard to execute the murderer and imprison for life the habitual criminal will never do more than talk about "putting the unfit and the suffering out of their misery." GUESSING AT THE MARKET Financial writers, brokers and "dopesters" generally are at present endeavoring to measure the future trend of the stock mark- et. Lately it has been gathering some mo- mentum, In the meantime the public does not ex- hibit any great interest in stocks from the buying standpoint, As a result some of Wall street's sharpshooters are contending that recent advances in certain issues have fol- lowed because of a "short" interest in them and pool manipulation of bankers and that professional interests now are more or less in control of the situation, As far as quo- tations are concerned there is some interest in the stock market, It is possible that the strength in some issues presages improved trade conditions in the near future, but the public never comes into the stock market un- til there has been a decided rise, The aver- age purchaser of securities, those who buy solely with a view of making a turn regard- less of the value of .the security bought, do not "nibble" until there is decidedly good ac- tion upward, The wise investor does not buy securities that way, There are plenty of good stocks and bonds to choose from, Aside from considering a concern's financial standing and its ability to earn money, as proved by past perform- ance, purchase of good stocks and bonds can be made with reasonable safety by buying them when they are around the low average price over a period of years. There is always risk in speculating in the average run of stocks and bonds, but the risk is lessened in buying standard securities of unquestioned worth when they are down to a point to jus- tify investment. If the average investor will follow common sense rules in making inves- tigations, the risk of purchase will be min- imized, EDITORIAL NOTES A man who admits he is a failure can't be disputed. The only teacher who isn't underpaid is experience, Now they are married in haste and divore- ed with pleasure. The nations should remember these days that cocking the gun is rocking the boat, | E Bit of Verse THE LANGUAGE OF MY SOUL I said to sorrow's pelting storm, That beat against my breast, Rage on--thou may'st destroy this form, And lay it low at rest. But still the Spirit that now brooks Thy tempest raging high; Undaunted on its fury looks, With calm and steadfast eye. I said to Friendship's menaced blow, Strike deep! this heart shall bear; Thou can'st but add one bitter woe, To those already there. If thou would'st crush a feeble worm, © Strike--but remember well, There is a home ere long to come, Where justice shall prevail. I said to Death's uplifted dart, A weak reluctant prey. Yes, still this spirit firm and - yielding to thy sway; Safe in the arms of Jesus' love, Shall smiling pass away. ~--Reprinted from the Christian Luminary, published in Oshawa, May 15, 1846. a iy 3 public men would formulate poli- cles to give our own products the Canadian market, there would be more work, more comfort, more contentment in this Dominion, A WASTEFUL PROPOSAL (Montreal Star) Senator George Foster, of Montreal, who enjoys the national reputation of having settled more cases out of Court than any oth-. er lawyer in Canada, thereby en- abling litigants to effect heavy savings, spoke in the Senate a- ' §alnst an absurd proposal to erect . galleries in the Senate Chamber at & cost of a quarter of a {lilo dollars to provide aT for one day only throughout the year for guests at the Governor- General's reception.

Jack: Well, I can hardly imagine a man wearing chiffon stockings In winter, LINDBERGH'S "LUCK" (From the New York Times) "Was I on time?" askel Lind- bergh of the Haitian Reception Committee. "Exactment," sald they. "Fine," sald he, "I tried to be." That very same day the papers were full of such headlines as "Fog Delays Hop," the hops in question being the enterprises of other aviators, Nothing seems to delay Lindbergh; at least not very long. He is two or three hours behind time on a flight of about two thousand miles to Mexi- co City, and the circumstance is so unusual that the nations quake with apprehension. He flies from the Virgin Islands to Porto Rico, and the distance being short, "idles along" at 75 miles an hour go as to be precisely on time. He jumps from the South American continent to the Lesser Antilles and arranges matters so that he comes out of the sky precisely at the time the committee is walt- ing for him, It is all very extraordinary In aviation as at present developed. It is also very fascinating, But above all it silences those inevi- table ones who are inclined *to say that every great feat, like the flight from New York to Paris is "luck." The conviction is nearly universal that Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, formerly of the United States Air Mall Service, is about the most competent pilot in the world, of (4 Pours By Jemes W . Barton, M.D. PREVENTING BACKACHE (Copyright) make it more difficult for honest 'stock-salesmen to market legiti- mate securities, No legislation of the character proposed, of course, can ever be "fool proof," There' will always be people who, eredul-, ous and desirous of getting some- thing quickly for nothing, will per- mit themselves to be taken in by slick gentlemen with suave tongues and no moral impediments, Never- theless, if the way of such trans- gressors is made harder, their num- ber is bound to diminish, and good will be done all around. LINDBERGH'S FLIGHT (New York Sun)) At Havana Colonel Lindbergh completes his program of Latin American visits, Twelve Independ- ent nations, a British colony, two insular possessions of the United States and the Panama Canal Zone have been visited by him since De- cember 18, when he rose from Boll ing Field in Washington under weather conditions that to many seemed inauspicious, but which to his trained intelligence were propi- tious. Each trip was a pioneer voy- age; Lindbergh's maps were nec: essarily makeshift affairs for he blazed the trail over uncharted wildernesses, seeing what no man ever saw before, solving problems never before , He sailed near sea level bigh sititudes in weather fair and weather foul. He kept his schedule as a railway president might hope to have 2 train keep its schedule, Primarily Colonel Lindbergh seeks to arouse sound interest in orderly development of air trans- Because you can bend your back bone which is really a number of bones piled one on top of the other, you may be of the opinion that whether it is bent or straight does not affect your health in any way, Now, although it is meant that you should be able to bend it, neverthe- less everyone of these bones is held one to the other by means of car- tilages between the bones, by liga- ments, and by muscles, Now, bending forward, back- ward, or from side to side, is the normal function of the spine, and the more bending that is done, the stronger will the muscles and liga- ments become, However, if one bending position is held for any length of time, then instead of development' we get "strain" on those particular liga- ments and muscles, and strain will mean pain. This is what actually happens in many cases of pain in the lower back. Perhaps the individual is overweight, and the abdomen pro- trudes or hangs forward. thus pull- ing on the ligaments and muscles that are supporting or connecting the bones of the spinal columm, On the other hand, the individ- uzl may be underweight and week, and because he is weak, allows his body to sag forward, with the re- sult that these bones of the back are pulled forward, causing a strain on the ligaments and mus-|. cles holding them together. There is thus not only a strain on the N- gaments holding the hones of the spine together, but also the liga- ments holding bones of the hip to- gether. You see, everything is pulled forward by the heavy abdomen, or the slouching position of the {weak or tired individual. I have spoken before about .{to say a word about preventing this trouble.

Othe Say ---- - I ------ ARSON CHARGE AGAINST BARBER Quebec Man is Committed to Stand Trial Quebec, Feb, 15.--~Thomas Bou- cher, barber, of this city, who had his shop and houge visited by fire | a few days ago, is mow facing a charge of arson. When his case came up in court on Saturday, Fire Marshal Leclerc stated that the fire had started in four different places, in rooms more than 14 feet apart, and even in a closed trunk, "I cap swear that fire broke out in four different parts of the 'building at the same time and that, according to. my experi- ence, it was of incendiary origin," remarked the Fire Marshal, Asked what he thought of the fire, Mr. Leclerc answered: "It was most certainly set, it could not have occurred from any out- side causes." . Boucher, it is alleged, made out a claim for $1,171,156 damages, whereas it was estimated that the loss only amounted to $288.75, this figure being decided upon by a board of arbitration, Boucher was committed to stand his trial before the Court of King's Bench, at the next term, HIPLING'S PENS LIE BIG STICK Famous Writer Threatens Law Suit Against Rural Council Ticehurst, Eng.
