SATURDAY, MARCH 24, 192 HEALTH ENFORCEMENT A rather strange phrase-- "health enforcement!" Some people may think that health need not be enforced, that a hu- man being can take care of his own health. It may be necessary to compel children to brush their teeth, to wear rubbers on rainy days. But grown men and wo- men, being intelligent and re- sponsible, ought to be let alone to act for their own physical ben- efit. All very well, but when you know a brilliant lawyer who has lost three pairs of rubbers in two weeks; a fairly provident man who postpones visiting the dent- ist until his teeth are almost be- yond saving; a very intelligent lady whose tonsils have for a long time been where they should not be. When you know such otherwise good citizens as these, you become convinced that the human race needs looking after by special health officers. ~~ We ought to co-operate with these officials--Dr. Moore and Dr. Schneider, and the New Trier Board of Health. If they tell us A that we should do certain things, ~ let's not object and procrasti- nate. Let's work with them. If we are put under quarantine, isn't HN it sensible for us to live right up to the letter of the law as inter- preted by our health officers? = Just now, with warmer and more enervating weather coming on, we ought to do nothing that will in any way hinder the good work of these guardians of the health whom we ourselves have chosen. : NORMALCY IN STYLES "Tommy Arkle" of Illinois pleaded with the girls to come back to normalcy in dress and thought. Forsake the modern ways of togging and thinking, dear girls, and return to safe and sane standards. Throw your vanity boxes into the drainage canal. Scrap your powder boxes, mirrors, lip sticks, and all such toilette aids. Back to normalcy, whatever that means. We think it foolish, and more- over futile, to urge the young women to give up their strange ways. The ways are their ways and, moreover, approved by the gods of style. All that TA. or any mere man can do is to divert attention from men to the oppo- site sex. What do the fair sex care for the censure of their brothers? Do they worry about ways of re- forming? Not for a second! They hear all this censure with delighted attention, glad to es- cape indifference and attract positive observation. And then when the scolding is over, they again offend that they may again be put into the lime-light. So you better mind your own business, Tommy; you're a fine dean of men, BUT--. LIVE OR LEAVE If they can't live on the North Shore they'll have to leave! If you get a salary of $3,000 a vear or less vou can't live decent- ly on the North Shore. You'll have to leave. One hundred dollars monthly rent is forty percent of $3,000 a year. Twenty percent is normal. Can't you find a good home for fifty a month? For seventy-five? NO! Then leave. Winnetka, for example, is in great danger of losing several of its most valued public servants. They are seeking good homes. They simply can't get them. What are we going to do about it? Here's a suggestion. Let some of our moneyed men with far seeing minds and hu- man hearts form a syndicate and build small homes that can be profitably rented at prices that men on small salaries or wages can reasonably afford. It is practicable to buy a lot and build a good average home at a combined cost of $9,000. Charge $900 a year, seventy-five a month, and you'll get a fair re- turn. Shall we engage good men and then drive them away? HIKING IN EUROPE Some New Trier boys are go- ing to hike through Europe next summer. We suppose they'll land in Liverpool, then walk by easy stagessouthwesttoLoondon. What a time they'll have, tramping through England! The hedge- rows, the poppies in the field, the quaint old homes, the alluring shops, the English folk, the roast beef of old England { let's go with them! From the British Isles to France by air-ship. Though we've never aviated except in our dreams, still, our imagination is vivid. Up we go very slowly, the Get the Habit!

The funny come in on the 21st, but nobody saw her step off. Well, anyhow, it's spring now. The calendar says so, and we feel it in our pocket-books. Taxes are overdue, and we're feeling the pull. We can assert now without fear of contradiction that winter has gone, at least theo- retically. Soon we'll hear the familiar strains of the hurdy gurdy and the melody of the melancholy scissor-grinder. ~~ Thoughts of screens to be mended and painted will visit us at intervals. We wonder if water will again seep into the cellar. The coming of spring on the calendar is not an insignificant event. To be sure we do not make so much of it as of Decem- ber 25 and July 4. But we could make a great deal of it if we saw fit. It is a time of equal nights and days, one of nature's red let- ter days. , : Our usual attitude towards the return of March 21 is one of very mild surprise not unmixed with contempt.
