FRIDAY, MARCH 23, 1923 HEALTH ENFORCEMENT A rather strange phraseâ€" "health enforcement!" Some people may think that health need hot 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. ___J01-^efy well,>ut 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 |ady whose tonsils have for a long time been where they should .JttQt.be... When you. know such otherwise good citizens as these you b 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? human race needs looking after by special health officers. We ought to co-operate with these officialsâ€"Dr. Moore and Dr. Schneider, and the New Trier Board of Healths If they tell us 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 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 returnrtq_sa£e_and sane standards. Throw your vanity boxes into the drainage ml.-iscrapyour powder fio^es, mirrors, lip sticks, and all such toilette aids. Back to normalcy, whatever that means. t 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 T. A. or any mere man can do is to divert attention from men to the oppo- site sex. I .What do the fair sex care for Jthe censure of their brothers ? Do llthey worry about, waysoi^re- llprming? Not for a second! iThey hear all this censure with J delighted attention, glad to es- S^ape indifference and attract Ipositive observation. And then JwhenAhe scolding is over, they i^gain offend that they may again !|be put into the lime-light. lift "(So you better mind your own Hbusiness, Tommy; you're a fine Idean of men, BUTâ€". .......

We suppose they'll land in Liverpool, then walk by easy stages southwest to London. 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 dreajriSr still, our imagination is vivid. Up we go very slowly, the from us. Then we aim at Calais or wherever the French landing station is. Then we zoom (that's a word we got during the war) steadily eastward. When we reach a spot in the air just over our destination we sink gently down and landâ€"on feathers, we guess. After that, the boys andTwe ex- pect to walk all over France; it isn't very bigâ€"on the ~ map. France having been covered, we'll take a look around Germany, if it isn't "verboten." That done, we'll chase the gay chamois over the Alpine hills, only stopping now" and then to drink a little Edelweiss, or pick one. In either case, it's little. We may then go down into Italy a^ndreyiew pur history of Rome, what there is left of it. Next will come the indigo Mediterranean. We've never seen it, but we're sure its a deep rich blue._________________. Here we stop, our money and time having run out. ___ SPRING HAS SPRUNG ^tiiappene^as^Wednesdayr^ And so we have to write a lit- tle story jibout it. The funny thing is that nobody knows for certain whether or not she really arrived. Her train was to have 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. fV Soon we'll hear the familiar strains of th*e 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^me^o! iquai-nights and days, Pne pi nature'si red let terdays. -«..
