Minneapolis, June 20. —Nervous break down in adult life may be prevented through proper health habit formation in cbildhoQtLwas explained .by Dr. Olive A. Coojier. assistant director of the Massa chusetts division of mental hygiene, be fore the nurses of the National Tuber culosis Association today. ‘‘The man ner in which the child is taught to handle simple problems of childhood,” said the speaker, “molds l)is habits and ability to meet the more complicated adult sit uations. Dr. Cooper cited as examples the child who is continually manifesting capric iousness about his food and is constantly 1 finding fault and developing tantrums as a means of gaining his end. “Trivial as these habits may seem,” continued Dr. Cooper, “we follow the child through life and We find him in manhood insuf ficiently prepared to meet the physical, economical or social requirements of life. He goes forth expecting the solicitude from the world that he was accustomed to receive in his home, and continuing to react to greater problems as he did to problems which confronted him in childhood. Then finally realizing the inadequacy of these reactions, he is in many instances unprepared to face real ity and seeks an exit in a nervous break down. These relatively simple habits evident in childhood are capable of doing an immeasurable amount of damage to the patients’ pliysjcial and mental life if allowed to continue unchecked. The future health of the adult may depend in a large measure on the "way in which he was trained as a child.” With Our Advertisers. Y’ou can buy a standard adding machine for SIOO f. o. b.

Oslo, Norway, .Tune 22 —Tin* Dag b'adet printed a non-copyright story out. lining some of. the experience of the Amundsen North Pole expendition. The newspaper said the story was based on messages from the expedition's journ alist. “In nafrrating their story, on arriving at King’s Ray.” says the Dagbladet, “the | fliers, all of whom looked worn and thin from suffering, said their weeks unon the ! ioe was like a flight with death.’? , Regarding the pieling up of the mem bers of the expendition by the fishing boat Sjoeliv, which brought them to King’s Bay, the Dagbladet’s story says: “The fishing boat Sjoeliv is a small cut ter of twelve tons, with a crew of nine men. Her eaptaif is Nils Woolsn. The vessel had had a poor catch of fish and was hunting for a wounded walrus. When off Huggle Bay, on the north side of Spitzbergen, the crew heard motors purring and discovered an airplane ten kilometers away. “They at first thought it was an air plane from the patrol expedition, but , when it neared they immediately recog nized Amundsen, in spite of ids long beard. Men Board Ship. “The explorers all quickly got aboard the Sjoeliv and crowded into the sm»fl berths. There was; not much food for so many—only seal. beef, eider am! eggs. The hawser towing the airplane broke once, but a new one' held. ‘’As Amundsen was told that the pa trol expedition was ready to leave Hug gle Bay. he decided to make for King's Bay as fast as possible and leave the plane. AVoolan says this was the great est catch he had made in his fifteen years’ experience^in these regions.” Amundsen said that the members of the expedition were separated for a while and that Leif Dietrichsen (Nor wegian pilot of one of the planes) and Oskar Oindahl (Norwegian mechanician) fell in the wate rand were just saved from drowning by Lincoln Ellsworth. Aleamvhile Amundsed and Hjalmar Ris erlarsen (Norwegian plane pilot) were on the other side of the\uter. They heard them scream, but were unable to help, as thin ice prevented efforts at rescue. The story says the returned members of the Polar expedition got to bed late the following morning at King’s Bay. The participation of Ellsworth in the expedition, says the newspaper, was not due to his love of adventure, but to in-, spiration and scientific spirit. The American minister Laurits Swen son. said today that the news of Amund sen’s happy return would be hailed and cheered throughout’ thd ’ United States. America had great ajrtnjtatfiy far Amund sen and admired his Inking audacity ..and ability as an explorer. > “We, of course,” the minister declared, “are doubly interested because an Ameri can made it possible for Amundsen to get the expedition going, and because he took part personally in the hardships of the expedition.

J Horne’s air propulsion system consists of units of two or more pairs of revolv ing blades geared to a single engine of a given power desired for a certain speed and service. They are operated fore and aft in the direction of the line of flight much like the paddles bf an o’.d-time side wheel steamboat. The two blades of a unit are mounted on the side of the plane and opposite each other on arms extended from a cen ter revolving shaft, both forward and aft of rhe wings. Their ‘horizontal shafts run crosswise of the fuselage. The propellers are mounted outboard on the cantilever principle. Change of direction of thrust while the propellers are running is obtained by separate gear control through the center of the < ross arms, changing the slant of the pairs of paddles which revolve in an arct around a horizontal shaft. Blades Under Control. The blades are always under complete control, whether at a standstill or when rotating at full speed, without reversing or stopping the engine, and can be made to thrust the aircraft forward, backward, upward or downward. William B. Stout, president of the Stare Metal Aeroplane Company at the Ford air port, the entire output of which factory has been taken over by the Fords, has inspected the new propulsion system, with expert mechanics in the factory, and pronounced in favor of it.

Lincoln. Neb., .Tune 22. —The hankers of Nebraska are undertaking to put the biggest industry in the state —agricul- ture —on a permanently sound financial basis and it iri planned that, today and tomorrow, each financial institution shall send to the State Agricultural College at least one member of its staff for inten sive training in ways to further this ob ject. The plan i 6 the culmination of several years’ research and study by the agricultural committe of the Nebraska Bankers’ Association, headed by Dan V. Stephens, a successful banker who was formerly an educator. The weak point in the whole system of farm operations in Nebraska as it has been diagnosed by experts, rests with the farmer who is underfinanced and who does not possess sufficient knowledge of farm management to make his venture successful. A large percentage of farm ers are tenants and each year sees new men renting farms who are equipped with money enough to stand ill-success no more than one season and who often over | estimate their knowledge of farm manage | ment. 1 To this group of farmers the agricul ! tural comnnnittee of the bankers’ associa tions proposes to offer the service of in dividual members of the various banking groups as advisers. Before these assume the tasks, it is desired to provide them with sufficient konwledge of what the ex tension department of the State Agricul tural College has at hand ready to trans mit to the men on the farms.
