We may value our agricultural products at so many millions a year; our mining products at so many more; our) forests, our banks, our shipping and sundry other industries at additional millions until the stfm total aggregates billions. This we often refer to as our national wealth, our national resource; and until recent years these material things were tl^e only resources recognized. We Have lived for money, position, travel, speed, until our bubble of material wealth has bursted; we have gone in search of pleasure and by that very activity we have lessened our chance to find it; we have Jived and worked for the future until we have missed the happiness of the present Yesterday we were rich in stocks and bonds and real estate; today, we ara poor, -and these- glimmering documents of title give us neither praise nor comfort for creating them. This disallusionment and our thoughts turn to d more dependable source of security and a surer plan for happiness - - ouV children and their development The child is amenable to scicntifie, care, the same as any other growing animal or plant; this fact wfe have apparently been slow to appreciate. But as our stocks have gone down, our interest in our children's welfare has gone tip and who knows .but what the outcome will justify our material losses of the recfent years. A child health program in McHenry, 111., will show dividends out of all proportion to any material wealth that we have ever known. This program is not to be a complicated procedure but as the normal birthright of every child- - adequate diet, immunization against the preventable communicable diseases, building for optimyl health - - physical, mental, moral, social. Our first project showed will be to strengthen our first line defensive - - to make secure against the preventable diseases - - diphtheria, smallpox, and typhoid fever. This program is ours to develops it js a community program and will be a success in proportion as the united efforts of every .individual in the county "-can "* be brought to its support. It ain't the guns and armartleht Nor friends that they can pay .„i But the close co-operation 4, W j That makes them win a day. ; i It ain't the individual lior % !

SECRET OF SPHINX NEARER SOLUTION Work of Vandals^ Proves l.; i •-' Cafro, Egypt.--The ageless riddle of Egypt's sphinx was declared nearer an answer as archeologtsts examined fresh evidence given them unwittingly by robbers whose vandalism uncovered the nearby tomb of a hitherto unknown Egyptian queen. ; ' , The new addition to the fabulous women who preceded Cleopatra as first lady of the Nile is Queen Itekhetra, who lived in 3666 B. C. Her tomb was unearthed close to the famous Gtzeh pyramids by a robber band that stole from the burial place all that was immediately convertible into cash. To reach the tomb across which tha sands of centuries had sifted,1 the robbers uncovered constructional details of the sphinx, the 189-foot lton-bodled, woman-headed idol, to the sun. Heretofore available scientific data has placed construction of the Sphrnx at approximately 2850 B. C. in the fourth dynasty. The new evidence may eventually prove some connection between the brooding, broken-nosed woman of the sands aad Queen Itekhetra. Thus the Sphinx, archeoiogic»l and mystic pusaile for ages, may be really older than hitherto believed, but not older than 3666 B. C. Also, the new evidence .points strongly to the possibility that the Sphinx was not built out of solid rock, cropping out of the desert, but out of rock that was transported by a superhuman feat of engineering to Its present site-- facing the rising sun in the shadow of thdse companion wonders of the world, the Pyramids. SPRING OROVI PERSONALS Mr. Two Young Men Touring, World in Small Motor Capetown; S. A.--Two young men, A. F. Kane from Chicago and W. J. Kahler from Chile, arrived here in their car after having driven for 111,000 miles. They traveled from Japan to London, from London to Norway, and from Cape North (Norway)', the northernmost point in Europe, to Capetown. It has taken them five years to do It--and that means that they have averaged nearly 430 miles a week for the whole of the five, years, "' In a. travel-stained car, bearing badges of every nation and packed to the roof with equipment and many wfeird ciirios, they , drove nonchalantly through Capetown, looking for somewhere to restl ' - "We have been on the road for five years," they said. "We are collecting material for books and lectures. At the end of the month we shall leave for America to prepare some of this, But we shall return In 1936 to undertake another trip planned in the reverse direction." ' 'During their trip they have worn out Bye different cars. Spare tanks fitted to the running boards have enabled them to carry gasoline and oil for 500 miles at a time. Throughout the whole Journey, they only four times used the means of transport other than their car--twice to cross the English channel, once to cross from Italy to Tunis, and again to cross the River Juba, Africa.
