stadtbahn berlins efeient and rapid suburban railroad service visitors are inclined to mar vel at the geometric exactitude of its course it is shown tracing a perfect curvature through th outskirts cut ting through the heart of the city like a ramrod reaching more distant places such as potsdam bernau dv strassburg upon tangents as direct as the stroke of a draftsmans pen but inquiry develops that the engineers who laid out the stadtbahn were not responsible for this geometric design actually the ring is an irregular quadrilateral with ovoidal corners which berliners conpare to a dogs head in a muzzle some tracks follow the shores of berlins canals others dodge here are turn there at unexpect ed places it just happened that the makers of the maps which are posted in every stadtbahn car went mod ern they decided to conventionalize the chart in the interest of simplicity so that the customers could tell where they were going without bothering to find the way photography made easy

camera enthusiast knows photographic negatives are not alike all over they are black in some places and ligh- in others now the amateur simply takes dr hats- cheks machine which is no larger than a mans hand and attaches it to the lighting circuit a red cross glows the amateur places the lightest por tion of the film above the cross and turns a button until the cross is no longer visible he then places the blackest part of the film over the cross and repeats the action until the cross disappears upon a scale he now may read not only the kind of paper on which the negative should bo printed

him all the wrongdoings ot the child ren so his short visit was usually spent meting out punishments for everything that had been done amiss during tho week of course it came about that this was not a night to be pleasantly anticipated by either father or children but rather to be dreaded by all concerned as the years passed and mr ben sons work took him farther and far ther away from home it became im possible for him to return oftener than twice a month and finally he could get home only once a monh and as no change was made with regard to the responsibility for disciipline that visit became less and less a pleasant occasion of course as was to be ex pected the home government finally broke down completely anarchy and chaos reigned supreme what was wrong should the husband have re signed his traveling position in order to be at home to punish the children many traveling men are very suc cessful fathers but should not the wife and husband hold themselves equally responsible with regard to dis cipline in other words if billie needs punishment is it wise for the mother to say now billie when papa comes this afternoon ill have him attend to you isnt it better for the mother to punish billie herself and get the matter over with inflicting punishment i one of the unpleasant tasks incident to bringin children up properly it cant always be evaded though a wise handling of tho

dr summer- feldt described in good health battle creek mich by feeding eleven children on a diet in which were large quantities of vita min b and extra supplies of other vita mins and minerals he succeeded in securing a rate of gain nearly five times the ordinary amount says good health the dietary by which this extraor dinary rate of growth was secured consisted chiefly of farina oatmeal cornmeal and wheat germ one per cent each of brewers yeast and alfal fa leafmeal were included besides the above plant foods 2 per cent of bonemeal was given probably to sup ply lime but an abundance of this ele ment should have been found in the alfalfa meal the wheat germ and oat meal or if more was needed another portion oi tho alfalfa meal would easily have supplied it bonemeal may be suitable for lions tigers and other carnivorous beasts but it is not a proper constituent for a human bill of fare this experiment clearly demon strates tho tremendous importance of diet regulation especially during the growing period it is certainly not a pleasant thought that many thousands of children are stunted in their de velopment by wrong feeding and yet there seems to be no escaping this conclusion children while dependent upon their parents are in the position of interned prisoners they must eat what is given them if they are in adequately fed their parents or guard ians are responsible for the conse quences with this new and rather startling information concerning tin possibility of securng a notable increase in sta- turo merely by adding a few inexpen sive items to tho
