The Bureau of Agricultural
Economics points out that the
farmer at present receives 42 per
cent of the consumer's dollar.
Somewhere between the smoke
house and the grain bin on the
one hand and the breakfast table
on the other, fifty-eight cents of
the dollar disappears. This is
laid to an increasing tendency on
the part of provision handlers to
do work that used to be carried
Out on the farm. The explana
tion does not satisfy. A substan
tial portion of the fifty-eight
cents will be diverted to the
place where it belongs only when
due notice is taken of the fact
that farm products have to pass
through operations that call for
no equipment other than a desk,
a telephone and a shrewd head.
The drowning of a government
clerk in the Potomac near Wash
ington was heralded by the dis
mal cry: “I can’t swim.” From
the coming of warm weather to
the falling of the leaves the same
story will be repeated from all
parts of the country. We are
taught early to dodge autos and
shun the miltitude of similar per
ils that inhabit the dry land, but
there remains an untrained
throng which is entirely helpless
in the water. The ancient Rom
ans had a scornful maxim that
they applied to a person ill fitted
to cope with life- “He can nei
ther read nor swim.”

Mrs. Northcross, a lady who!
contributes a light and readable
column to the press, no doubt
would be startled if accused of
being a philosopher, but a sen
tence which she let fall as a mere
item in a day's work embodies a
sound bit of philosophy: “Wo
men have a habit of demanding
the unreasonable when they have
been forgotten completely.” It is:
needless to add that the sin lies
in the forgetting and not in the
demand.
A good many important discov
eries have been made since pre
historic man first tasted a masta
don that had been roasted in a
forest fire and learned that cook
ed flesh is better than raw, but
no one as yet has found any use
for a trophy cup.
Max Schmeling, having effect
ed the greatest come-back in the
history of the prize ring, and
with the scalp of Joe Louis dangl
ing from his belt, is homeward
bound toward the Fatherland.
Now is the time for the Germans
to reverse a World War song up
on America: “When you come
back” etc.
Rival schools of doctors are at
odds about cancer. Upon the one
hand, it appears that the disease
is due to a single Mendelian re
cessive hereditary factor, a con
clusion said to be disproved by
something arising out of genetic
homogeneity: all of which is not
sufficiently clear to raise an ac
tive and present hope in the
heart of the sufferer. Yet the >
doctors are the ones from whom
help must come, even though it

A Michigan mother exchanges
a week-old child for some house
furnishings and then repents of
her bargain. Althou even dumb
creatures will not part with their
newly-born offspring, there may
have been some excuse for the
sale, since by means of it the
child passed from extreme pov
erty to comfort. Comment is not
directed at this place to the wis
dom of the transaction or to a
well known instinct of animals,
but to the strange circumstance
that the authorities state that
there is nothing in the law to
forbid such a deal.
