Sven to this day Utopia means fee impossibly good, the ideal dtfCri Which practical men know ck« hever be realised. Vet enwch of Utopia Is the com monplace of today. Sir Thomas More wrote of cities with streets twenty feet wide. Such spaciousness could be found only in a dream city when he wrote. Today, a twenty-foot street Is very narrow far motor traffic. More pictured a city supplied with water running down from the hills. The Romans had such cities but during the Dark Ages the comforts of civilisation were forgotten. So abugdhnt water for bathing teem ed another dream. I In utopia men worked only nine hours a day and Sir Thomas More argued long to prove that such a, people could survive starvation.

Many other of the Utopian pn phecles. have long been full Hit More loresaw the development weather forecasting, witn the fo; telling of the approach of ra and storms. He guessed that so time setting hens'would be displ. ed by incubators and that tnsti nients might be made tt measi the movement of the sun. He looked to the time when mi would not be hanged for theft ai when mothers would nurre the own Infants. He even had tistoi of houses with glass w indows art with spacious gardens He descrlb ed the building ol hospitals lor tht sick. More extravagant still, he de scribed n government in which of fices were neither bought nor sold and in which there would be no bribery! In most of its details Utopia has been long passed even though hu man nature may not be as gentle and kindly as Sir Thomas More hoped It would be. Utopia's dreams are actually yes terday’s achievements. The force which made the Uto pian vision of one day the common place accomplishment of our gen eration is science. We arc no stronger than men have been during known history. We can tlo no more physical drud gery. We think no better than men did four hundred or two thousand years ago. Thomas More, Francis Bacon and William Shakespeare had minds at least as good os those of any man now alive. Scientific research made Uto pian dreams practicable. The sec rets men learned in laboratories made it feesible for us to work short hours and to live eomfort ably. The very abundance which machinery produced is the founda tion of the generosity and the good will which make our civilization seem better than what went before. Even our characters are thus im proved. With the aid of science we peer into the Influences and mo tives which make each of us what we become. Knowledge drives out much of the blind fear which ac counts for so much of the wrong and cruelty of mankind. No modern man has lived a finer life than Thomas More, or Confu cius for that matter, but the aver age man and woman are better by far than were their ancestors for a few hundred years back. Through science virtue Is proved to be prof itable. Ignorance always has forged the chains., of slavery for the spirit as well as for the body but science is setting men free. Apply the scientific method to your own problems. Seek to under stand the facts you deal with without prejudice. Open your mind to the new things which day by day are being uncovered. So you will help to create a civilisation bet ter by far than the best dreams of the builders of Utopias. Beets should be washed without breaking their skins, to retain the Juices.

Some how, we cannot get our mind off a certain headline which stared out at us from one of North Carolina's morning papers yester day. ! “Says Circuses Would Quit Show ing tei State" fairly shouted the type In the double column head to which i we refer. Can It really be true? Is there a likelihood that the white tops may be prevented from com , Log to North Carolina through the | erection of prohibitive taxation bar riers. | The thought of such a possibil ity staggers us. No more peanuts, no more red lemonade, no more snorting callopes. no more saw dust rings, no more swaying ele phants.^no more ladles In spangled tights? Say not so. Think of the children, think of their happiness, think of their enjoyment, think of their thrill, think of the pleasure that will be denied them, and meditate upon the thousands of adults who admittedly get no kick | out of going to the circus but claim supreme happiness In taking 1 the children and seeing the sparkle in their eyes. Can the children be deprived of their happiness, the opportuni ties to play hooky, their thrill which only the elephants can bring, through legislative enact ment, of a tax which will prohibit circuses from coming to North Carolina? Legislators may be hard hearted enough to slash appro priations for charitable institu tions, welfare agencies and state hospitals, but not enough, we are confident, to ban circuses and all the Joy and happiness which they bring Certainly such hard - hearted qualities will not be manifested merely to please the 47 fairs In the state which would have a license tax of $1,000 a day placed^ on a circus, in addition to its state" tax of $25 to $250, if it showed in any town the week’ before, the week of or the week after the fair. With 47 such fairs and a two weeks' period of circus banishment for each, the white top aggregations would find very few tax-free days left in the year, muoh less in the Fall months when they strike this part of the country. And, any way, why should a circus be banned for a lot of fairs where the midway Is the whole works? For opr part and the chil dren's part, we’ll take a circus in preference to a carnival outfit, in which concessions and gambling devices lrequently predominate, every old time. Bar circuses from the state of North Carolina? There's not a chance If you want to know what we think. Too many members of the general assembly have chil dren that they must take to ’em.

J B ELLiS Administrator Estate of Pinkney Little, deceased. ( Copeland’s Health Talk Faulty Diet Hurts BY ROYAL S. COPELAND. M. D. ■ United gtales Senator And Former Health ('ommfsslonei of Moo tfork.i One of t£e sad things about life is that strive as we may there are sure to be unhappy experiences. I regard the mother job as the most Important in the world. If I had it m my power to do so. I should confer good health upon every baby born into the world. By doing this, I should bring happiness to every moiner on the face of the earth. Perhaps the most discouraging of the many experiences mothers have, Is the failure of their babies to develop. In spite of what me mother thinks Is proper feeding and In spite of all the love showered upon the Infant, It does not grow. Doctors speak of undevelopment, loss of weight and low vitality as being evidences of "malnutrition.” The word Is applied to those thin, pale, delicate children with dark rings round their eyes, rough hair and flat chests. They are apt to be nervous, restless, disturbed In sleep and fussy about their food. ^ The most common cause or malnutrition is a MC mu^HU, faulty diet. By this, I mean that the food is in sufficient in amount or Improper in kind. Be sides. the habits In eating may be bad. Even a child breast-fed by an apparently hea'.thy mother may not be getting enough milk. Even though the quantity may be sufficient, the quality of the milk may be below par. „ A child, particularly in those early months when growth should be pronounced, must have an abundance of lime. The most dependable source of lime is milk. Unless this, mineral is supplied in abundance, i there is sure to be evidence of mal nutrition. ' What I say about the baby is equally true of the older child. It is an unfortunate thing that many growing children are permitted to eat candy and other sweets to the detriment of their regular meals, i have no objection, as you know, to candy and sweets at a seasonable time, but they must be taken so that they will not interfere in the eatings of substantial dishes at the table. % Regularity tn feeding is of vital importance to children of all ages. The feeding of a baby must be at regular times. These periods must • be as well established as the num I bers an the clock. If they are not. disorders of digestion arc sure to follow. On a par with this Is the between meal eating of older children. Be I fore they have digested the food taken between times, they sit down to the table without appetite for the good things which are there. Chil dren must have the minerals which vegetables possess. They must have iron, phosphorus, the vitamins and all the other elements necessary for development. I The one thing I desire to impress ' upon you today is that faulty diet is the chief cause of malnutrition. X. Q.—What causes nose bleeds In a child four years old? A.—An examination by your fam ily doctor is necessary to locate the cause. S. Q.—How oan I gain weight? 3.—What do you advice for gums that bleed after brushing? , A.—Add to your diet plenty of milk, eggs, fresh fruits and vege- J tables. Drink water between meals. Avoid poor elimination and prac tice deep breathing. Take cod liver oil as a general tonic. 2.—Do not brush so vigorously. P. T. Q. What causes red blotch es to appear on the face and body? A.—This condition may be due -to poor circulation or some stomach Usorder. , STOCKHOLDERS MEETING.

Bringing the dancing shadows To cover the earth and ground. The night winds steal The sunset's colors And scatter them far afield. Laughing at Its masterpiec As darkness gives its yield. The night winds bring Old memories back Of things of long ago. Arousing dreamy fancies A whispering soft and low The night winds sing Old hazy songs That brings the memories dear, And casts a cheerful picture On fading visions near The night winds bring The restless urge To leave and go away, Out where the life is b.. To go and not to stay. The night winds sweep Upon their way Leaving naught it seems. With nothing left but fancies And some few idle dreams. Indifferent There. From The Hertford Herald.

CIRCULATION DEPARTMENT GREENSBORO DAILY NEWS GREENSBORO, N. C. .-r lid’s m Ga’ns When Teeth Are Pulled Wife Explains That Missing Molars Caused Her Health To Improve. Jacksonville. Fla. Why Thomas A. Edison nas gained twenty pounds was explained by Mrs. Edison when they stopped here on heir way to their winter home at Fort Myers ■'He began picking up when he had his teeth taken out, Mrs. Edi son explained. “His teeth gave him trouble for years, so he decided to get rid ol them. He did and he's feeling setter.'’ Other folks may come to Florida for a winter vacation, but not Mi. Edison. “I’ll start work tomorrow, ’ he said as he puffed a long black cigar. He is eighty-two and he told one questioner he expects to live a few years longer. To evolve a domestic supply of rubber for this country in case of future wars Is the problem now occupying Mr. Edison. He believes he will find the solution. One reporter asked if he finds his mind as active as ever. “Yes,” was the quick reply, “I caai see no difference.” The Sun Vs. Electricity. (Prom The New York Times.) At a meeting of the Acad my of Sciences members were served v.ith electrically ripened strawberries to show the possibility of f. rcing the growth of plants by artificial light. Two research workers reported that in this way the berries had been ripened in 40 days instead of the 80 days required for sun ripen ing. The expe: ment, however, was expensive, for the cost was $5 a berry. Strawberries in January a month of snow and sleet, seem a luxury that is bound'' to be expensive. But the New York mar.et offers berries at 39 cents a box, and plenty of them, from our southern states. In this case rapid transportation Ts just as efficient as electricity in rushing fruits to the market. EXECUTOR S NOTICE Having qualified as executor of the will of W. F.
