Walsh in his "Maker* ef Modern Medicine" points out that the most salient fact in the history of medical progress 'is that the world's best work has been done In the main by young men. Practically all the great discoveries have been made by very young men. Morgagnl Auenbruger, Laennec, Stokes, Corrlgan, Bernard and Pasteur were all in their twenties when they began to hatch the ideas that were to make them famous. Walsh raises the question as to whether the lohg period of training that we exact today, ending when a man Is nearly thirty, may not take too many potential discoverers past precious years whose barrenness cannot be rectified. Perhaps this Is the greatest mistake that our modern system of education is making, says the Medical Times. Were Stokes (who wrote his little work on auscultation when he was twenty years of age) living today his early creative powers would probably be smothered studying things that "ain't so." We wonder if any of oar educators other than Walsh are •tewing this particular aspect of things with perspicacity.

Ha aaidf^ - '-j 'The Model T Ford car was a pioneer. It blazed tha f f^way for the motor industry and started the movement . good roads everywhere. It broke down the barriers of distance in rural sections, brought people in these sections »*** ^closer together, and placed education within the reach of « ^#veryone. We are still proud of the Model T Ford. If wa • were not, wa would not have continued to make It so long.*9 | For twenty years, the Model T Ford led die automobile - : ^industry and it still serves more people than any other automobile. Over one-third of all the automobiles in use today are Model T Fords -- an indication of the sturdy worth of the car and its value to people in all walks of life tha . work! over. The Ford Motor Company will continue to make replacement parts for these cars "until the last Model T is off the road." That is a part of Ford service. That is what Henry Ford meant when he said: "We believe that when a man buys one of our cars we should keep it running for him as long as we can and at the lowest up-keep cost." Because of this policy a considerable part of the Ford manufacturing plants is given over to the making of parts for the Model T Ford. These replacement parts are made of the same material and in the same way as those from which your car was originally assembled. Make it a point, therefore, to see the nearest Ford dealer and have him look over your Model T Ford. You may find that a very small expenditure will enable you to get thousands of miles of additional service, and at fh» mbm tima protect the money you have invested in your car. FORD MOTOR COMPANY .•Mi# In a recent address before a woman's clufc Dr. Edwin B. Twltmyer, a professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, declared that children are just machines up to eleven or twelve; and that, therefore, it Is absurd for parents to try to argue out a situation with them. The thing to do, said he, is to insist upon instant obedience. Admitting the neces-. sity of enforcing prompt obedience in nijitters of Importance, there will be many to question the wisdom of Doctor Twltmyer's first statement If, as he says, "you can't wait until children are six years old" to begin helping them to control themselves, at what npre should one begin to explain the why and wherefore of It? To do that thoroughly some arguing Is necessary. It would seem that when a bright child demands a reason for some parental order It should in most cases be given to him. Other psychologists have frequently declared that most of as (which, of course, Includes parents) have the mentality of a twelve-year-old child. Wh.v, then, should ?re not the youngsters a chance? „ I . . . - • "" " „ _* '-*'*£* •; " *, >3* , .--«•%<« 'V •• •-'* t. i r. * * t SO MAIW.

J if ii A suggestion has been made that tibe railroad freight yards In the prin dpal cities of the country be roofed aver and made available as landing fields for -airplanes. Whether this Is practicable or not is for the engineers to decide, but the mere fact that the proposal is made indicates the widening field of aviation in our everyday affairs. The time may come. It seems, when the large transportation interests must, fer sel (-protection, add aerial navigation to their methods and •irshlps to their facilities for the carriage of passengers and freight. In this they will be following the precedent already set by the railroads In adopting bus services to meet the eompetition of independent operators. Brighten the Dark ' At the present rate of Increase, according to Havelock Ellis, the population of the earth will have doubled In the course of 100 years and then will be seen the approach of the time when there will be no more room on the earth. Because of our Improved methods of living many lives are saved which were formerly sacrificed through ignorance, so population is Increasing more rapidly than ever. We are faced with the problem of finding food for these great hordes, and according to Doctor Ellis these means will aooo be exhausted. ' • Navy department statistician reports that the United States navy consumes 62 tons of food every morning for breakfast. There isn't any likelihood that the no-breakfast fad will ever gain a fort hold among the gobs. Old-fashioned galluses, the derby and peg-top trousers are coming back for men, according to a newspaper article. All that can be endured If the stylists will promise not to bring back the bustle for femininity. Don't try to "higu hat" the humble messenger boys you see about the city.
