WHY N O T COMPULSORY BACON EATING?
A g a i n we a r e faced with proposals
for more compulsory experimental
laws. F o r example, in Oregon the
l e g i s l a t u r e will -be asked to pass a
law to t h e effect t h a t beginning with
1936 i t will be made compulsory to
a d d 3 p e r cent of alcohol made in
Oregon from f a r m waste, such
as
cull potatoes, to
each gallon
of
gasoline, and f u r t h e r m o r e t h a t
the
p e r c e n t a g e of alcohol shall be increased t o 5 p e r cent, then 10 p e r
cent and t h e n 15 p e r cent each succeeding year. The legislature will
b e f u r t h e r asked to make
suchalcohol-producing p l a n t s free
from
t a x e s for five y e a r s , and free
from
one-half of all t a x e s for a second
five-year period, if t h e y o p e r a t e a t
60 p e r cent capacity.
W h y should a m a n driving a motor
c a r be forced to u s e alcohol if h e
does n o t w a n t it, on t h e t h e o r y t h a t
i t will u s e a f a r m crop? If alcohol
f o r fuel is- as good as it is ^claimed,
a n d is cheaper, w h y i s i t n o t sold to
t h e public as a n y o t h e r commodity?
If i t is as good as claimed, -why is it
n e c e s s a r y to force t h e public to buy
i t ? The mere fact t h a t i t cannot
compete in t h e open m a r k e t , should
b e p r e t t y good evidence t h a t i t will
n o t justify t h e claims made f o r i t b y

T h i s is not a n a r g u m e n t against

THE SCHOOL NURSE
T P H E White House Conference on
Child Health, in its report on The
School Health Programs, emphasized
the advantages of the thoroughly
trained school nurse.
Dentists interest-d in preventive
programs designed to save children
from the evil effects of dental defects,
are particularly eager to have the assistance of competent nurses.
How much better can the nurse who
is versed in child psychology handle the
child who fears the dentist?
It is well known that diet plays an
ey eedingly important part in the decay of teeth. Here again, the well educated nurse is a decided help. If she
understands the relationship of diet
and tooth decay, her influence in forming good dietary habits will be great
indeed. Mothers will be more apt to
listen to her when she tells them what
to give the child.
More school nurses, selected because
of proved ability in public health work,
are needed to obtain well organized
school health programs.

Heard Human Voice Over 'he
Tete^none for First Time
There recently died, near St. Petersburg, Florida, one of the principal characters in modern scientific h i s t o r y Thomas A. Watson, the man who heard
the first words spoken over the telephone. A little over a half century ago,
on March 10, 1876, the historic words,
"Mr. Watson, come here; 1 want you,"
were spoken over the first telephone
circuit that worked—by Alexander
Graham Bell, Us inventor.
Bell and Watson became acquainted
•during the latter's apprenticeship in a
machine shop where
experimental
machinery was being made for Professor Bell, at that time a teacher of
deaf mutes In Boston. It was while experimenting with the vibration of the
drum of a dead man's ear that he first
became convinced of the possibility of
conveying the human voice by wire.
After a period of about two years'
partnership, Bell supplying the ideas
and Watson building the apparatus, the
great moment came when the first
telephone instrument and wire transmitted human speech. Bell had hired
two rooms on the top floor of an inexpensive boarding house in Boston for
his experiments and used one room as
a laboratory and the other as his bedroom. It was between these two rooms
that the first message was sent.
Thomas A. Watson was born in
Salem, Massachusetts, on January 18,
1854. After a public school education
he worked as a bookkeeper in a hardware store when he was 14 years old,
leaving that place to learn the machinist's trade. He was only twenty when
he began his association with Bell. Fallowing his work with Bell, he did important work in ship designing. Hp
was a member of the American Association for the Advancement "f Si-'ence
and a fellow of the American Institute
of Electrical Engineers.
ALERT GIRLS PHONE CALL
TRAPS STAMP BOLD OP HEN
By means ot her keen observation
and switt action in telephoning tuhce
when she suspected that a robbery was
about to take place, Mitia Henrietta
Licht, a Brooklyn girl, recently frustrated a $40,000 hold-up of a stamp firm
in New York. Her call, which brought
radio police to the scene of the robbery
in less than two minutes, also resulted
in the arrest of two of the hold-up men.
Miss Licht, private secretary to
Joseph Hoffman, of the Hoffman Stamp
Company, at 29 West 34th Street, Manhattan, said that a man entered the
firm's offices the day before and asked
her if she sold stamps. She thought the
question unnecessary. The man looked
around hastily and departed. A few
minutes later when she left the office
she saw the man conversing with a second man outside the building. They
exchanged glances as she passed.
"1 thought they probably were up to
something," she explained. "And then
the ir-xt morning, when 1 went out, I
saw l!ie second man and a third man
get into the elevator. I knew they' were
going up to the office."
Upon tiptoeing to the office door she
hcai-l tier employer say: "All right,
boys. Take it ea:\". Help you real ves."
She hastened to the nearest telephone and called i<:.:Uu, who surprised
t h e two bandits as the valuable stamps
were heir>T scooped from the safe into
a bag.
Install Phones-on Lawn
Guards who patrol the White House
lawn are soon to have telephones to
assist them in their task, it was announced recently. Then if one finds
somebody taking a "snooze" under the
hedge.on the grounds, as one did recently, he ca"u step up to a tree nearby
a n d telephone' the police.
Heretofore the guard spotting a trespasser or noticing anything else out of
t h e way, had to go to the Executive
Mansion to report it. Meanwhile, the
intruder might make his getaway before the guard returned.
