BARRETT - One of the5 problems involved in the recent depression was the maintenance of our American .standard of living. Those whose livi n g standards were not affected, suffered very little during the trying years. He s u f f e r e d m o s t whose reduced in* come forced a reduction in the annual budget. A c h e a p e r r e n t meant a. less de- , sirable residential section; the dismissal of servants gave rise to a less'orderly house arid, in some cases, to a very <'irritating environment. Less expensive raiment meant cheaper material with a depreciated value. In Almost evet-y condition of luxury Curtailment was necessary. Many persons felt that the standard of , living was greatly lowered, cornpaired with former times when "our living standards were incomparably better than those of other times and placed because we had learned how • to build immense factories and transportation systems and to undertake efficient mass production." ^Vhat are these so-called standards? Who creates them and by whose authority are they maintained? Do they express luxury or necessity, satisfied needs or appeased desires? Are they original expressions of culture or standard commodities? Who shall say on which street I shall live or to what social group I shall belong? True, the dictates of 'society may be responsible for acknowledged standards, but are not the standards which elevate personality the product of a silent monitor residing within that personality? Has not "the time arrived when, in order to have a more equitable standard, we may have to shuffle off the superficial from our patterns of living? Who will have the courage to do this? The answer is not difficult if y/e have a correct appreciation of true aristocracy. We should no longer think of aristocracy as an exclusive "privileged class superior to all other classes," simply because of wealth. Wealth does not necessarily mean culture. "Those may hold who can" has proved itself a vicious philosophy, as the revolutions of history attest. Real culture is always of the spirit, and may be found wherever the individual is larger in human aspect than he is in accumulation, whether that accumulation be manners or money. Standards of living should express more high thinking and less wasteful living. feow shall we evaluate the present Standards and preserve the best? DeuiOwracy points to the individual. The question is, what standards make me sensitive to aspirations, sound in thinking, honest and sincere in achieving? Larger economic privileges with increased financial income will not in themselves secure inner culture. That must come from the quality of the spirit of the individual. External stimuli cannot be substituted for human sympathy, simple justice, and beneficent conduct: for these are the outward expressions of the inner heart life. © Western Newspaper Union.

This latter condition plays havoc with psychic centers and moral norms. Nature protests against a nervous over-strain. So in the field of moral values there is a degree of press u r e a g a i n s t which our higher nature cries: just so far and no farmer. We know that no over-fatigued person is at his best in his daily toil. By the same'token it may be difficult for a fatigued person to be normal in the field of moral values.

People who are fatigued will say things and do things which they would never do under normal conditions. A crime is often committed when a person faces a crisis in an hour when resistance is at a low ebb and the character, therefore, not sufficiently re-enforced. -- A rubber band can be stretched just so far without snapping. So an over-fatigued person is literally a poisoned person--a poison due to unexpelled toxins. Such a person can stand just so much pressure and no more. Proper; nervous conditions are In no small way responsible f&r a normal moral character. Nerves and morals have become practically interchangeable words in the field of psychiatry. We hear a great deal these days, and rightly so, about a mAn's right to work. In a democracy like ours, every man filling and capable of work should have a job; but is it not also true that every person should have the right of leisure and rest? Drugs are as pernicious as they are ineffective in creating a cure for nervous over-strain. In the strain due to high tensioned life of today, the cure must come from within and not from without. A heart is not made strong by taking acidulous fluids out, but by putting something in, a renovating and re- /^generating power capable of dissolvf ing the poison caused by nervous fatigue. What is that something? A great love. None of the crippling effects of over-strain are present when one is strengthened by the faith of a friend whom we trust and who implicitly trusts Us. "The unconscious processes of the body are only doing their best when they feel the throb of a great faith, a great hope and courage, a great love." Rest does not demand a vacant mind, but a mind intent upon some great purpose high enough to command our highest loyalties. There is then no room left for the degenerating effects of monotonous toil. Rest is not quitting the busy career: rest is the fitting of self to its sphere. The way we spend our leisure hours determines the future curve of our nation's crime. O Western Newspaper Union.

Some authorities believe that as early as the fifth foetal week they can distinguish the teeth beginning to form. In fact they believe these teeth can be detected before the other organs of the body begin to form. About the seventeenth foetal week these first teeth begin to calcify or harden. The crowns of all the deciduous or baby teeth are fully formed at birth with the possible exception of the second baby molar which is about three-quarters formed. ^ I Authorities say there is evidence of the first permanent or six-year molar at birth.

ILLINOIS tFloodlight from almost direetly overhead makes the child's figure stand against a background tf rich shadow. The picture waa snapped when the subject had forgotten there wae a camera near. •j pARENTS usually think of out- •' doors and sunny summer days as ijthe proper place and time for picturing children, and once this was true. jBefore the advent of fast fllma and tjelectric light bulbs especially designed for amateur photography, jdaytlme was the only time snapshooters could work. Today that Is no longer the case. Nowadays, pleasing child pictures may be taken inside the home either by day or night, and more amateurs are taking them. This is partly because the home provides an ideal setting for pictures one wants to keep, and partly because the photographer can control his light to make pictures more interesting. The modern large-elsed amateur flood bulbs are so powerful that the camera worker can put two of them In reflectors three to four feet from his subject, and take snapshots, as he would outdoors, with an ordinary box camera. The camera is, of course, loaded with supersensitive film and Its lens set at the largest opening. Other cameras can be used at 1/25 second shutter speed and f.8 or f.ll lens opening. Ability to take snapshots like this is a great help In obtaining natural, unpoeed child pictures. It is no longer neceaeary to take "time" exposures or to tell the child to "hold very etill." Now his toys can. be placed In the circle of light cast^by the flood bulbs, and as soon as ho is absorbed in them, and unconselous of the camera--snap goes the shunter and the picture is made! There is a variety of lighting arrangements one can use on child pictures. For a cheerful. Joyous effect, everything In the picture should be light In tone, and there should be j even illumination, with no deepi. shadows. However, when a dramatic! effect is desired, illumination can be t restricted to the child's face and • hair, with everything else in deep; shadow. This tends to give the lm-j pression of a very small child in a; very large room; sometimes an ef-: feet of loneliness which Is more ap-: pealing than if the picture were bright and carefree. Beautiful "high-key" effects can be pbtained with the child on a window- seat where daylight diffuses through the curtains, and bright floodlight inside so that there are no dark areas or masses of shadow. The child's clothing should be light in color. Good balancing of light will give a picture that is almost all white and lighter tones of gray, with. just enough shadow here and there for accents. "Backlighting," as from the window, can also be obtained • with artificial light, a bulb being-- placed behind the child so that the hair becomes a bright, silky halo.
