land and Cleveland.
To Pilot William C. Hopson, Omaha
headquarters, went the honor, how
ever, of having flown his plane the
greatest distance. In 2,236 hours and
T minutes service he covered 221,876
miles. He now follows the air path
between Chicago and Omaha. Hop
son Is a Hill City, Kan., product, who
entered the air mall service In April,
1820, after a long record In civilian
and army flying.
Only a few hours separated Lee and
James H. Knight for first place. The
pilot who has made enviable records
In night flying and staged his mem
orable race with death had given 2,311
hours and 58 minutes to the service
when the compilation was made. In
which time he had traveled 211,095
miles. Knight Is another Kansas man,
born In Lincoln, who first entered the
air mall service in June, 1919. He
resigned May 20, 1920, and was reap
pointed In October, 1920. His Is the
Omaha-Cheyenne route.

FIND MALNUTRITION
MENACES THE NATION
Many Seemingly Well Chil
dren Are Sufferers From
Poor Food.
New York.—The malnutrition of
children In the United Stales consti
tutes a serious health problem, accord
ing to the New York Association for ,
Improving the Condition of the Poor, !
which for the last four and a half
years has been testing vurious meth
ods of combating this evil. Some of
the facts ascertained from the soci
ety's study are included in a state
ment given out here.
It is set forth that among 2,181 ap
parently well children examined in the
medical clinics of the society, 636, or
30 per cent, were diagnosed as mal
nourished. The society is seeking the
most effective methods of correcting
habits of eating or living which cause
malnutrition, and has issued a mono
graph entitled “Food for the Family,"
containing suggestions for proper feed
ing as a means of insuring proper nu
trition.
This condition of malnutrition is not
due to insufficient food, but to the con
atant use of improperly chosen food
or the inability of the body to make
use of tbe food eaten because of Insuf
ficient air, rest, sunshine or physical
defects. If these children were la
danger from fire or industrial acci
dents, the report of the society says,
every safety device and preventive
measure known would be urged to pro
tect them.
Although the effects of malnutrition
are much slower, often much more
indirect and much less dramatic than
those from fire or accidents, they are
even more deplorable because of the
larger number affected and the linger
ing misery resulting.
“Many a wage earner is unable to
Increase his income to the safety level
because of health conditions due to
poor nutrition. Too many children who
apparently show no signs of disease or
malnutrition are allowed to drift Into
the wage-earning period with only a
part of their rightful earning capacity
developed.
Increases Living Costs.
“Malnutrition thus concerns more
than the individual or the home la
which it occurs. It affects the whole
country by reducing the eeonomlc pro
duction of the Individual and thereby
Increasing the cost of living. Since
much of the sickness and lowered vi
tality in later life is the result of poor
nutrition, as physiicans have frequent
ly stated, the Importance of providing
educational guidance in nutrition as
well as providing attention for the cor
rection of physical detacts ia very
great.”
To ascertain what are the principal
causes of malnutrition, the society an
alysed the condition of 275 families
among those which its nutrition bu
reau is now assisting. Of that num
ber, 227 families required instruction
In the preparation of the proper food;
108 needed assistance in the planning
of meals; 46 families had to be helped
la marketing, because simple foods,
antirely strange to them, were recom
mended; while special diets had to be
planned for 88 families. Only 27 fam
Was needed financial assistance to pro
vide adequate food. Greater economy
traa found to be necessary in 44 fam
OlM, while in 80 families assistance
took the form of helping them to re
resulting in inadequate rest and Im
proper ventilation, and mother ill, were
other problem* found to be responsible
for malnutrition.
Twelve Rules for Health.
A guide to proper nutrition which
the A. L C. P. will use in its efforts
to reduce malnutrition among the tene
ment districts of this city Includes,
In addition to suggested diets and
menus, a "dozen good health rules for
children,” which read as follows:
Emphatically DO—
L Use milk—fresh, clean, whole milk
for children. Every growing child
should have a quart a day In some
form.
2. Eat plenty of vegetables.
3. Be sure that a school child has
a good luncheon, not candy, pickles
and Ice cream cones.
4. East coarse food, such us oat
meal, bran muffins and vegetables, so
that the bowels will not be consti
pated.
5. Eat slowly und chew food well.
6. Have the meals at the same hours
each day.
7. Eat only bread, or crackers and
milk, or bread and butter between
meals, and only in the middle of the
morning or the afternoon.
8. Wash hands and face before eat
ing.
9. Drink plenty of water between
meals.
10. Be In bed by 0 o'clock or be
fore.
11. Have windows opened in the
sleeping room at night
12. Brush the teeth at least once a
day.
Important DON'T'S—
Do not let ttie children eat pork or
veal, much meat of any kind, frieo
foods, rich pies and cakes, strong spice
and vinegar, green or spoiled fruit.
Do not let children drink tea, coffee,
beer, wine, sodas.
Do not let them eat between meals,
except the things named in No. 7
above. Do not let them eat candy.
Ice cream cones, nuts, cakes and
cookies between meals.
NIAGARA S EDGE MAY
NEED PATCHING UP
Horseshoe Falls in Danger
of Becoming Merely a
Spillway.
Washington.—When the fall of a
huge piece of rock threatened to turn
the honeymooners' Horseshoe falls of
Nlagura Into a mere spillway, the
peril to the falls’ beauty brought forth
proposals to hire engineers to patch j
up North America's outstanding nut- |
ural wonder.
By dropping a keystone out of Its !
Horseshoe arch, Niagara was merely
performing its duty to tlie ages.
For 30,000 years the falls has been
the geological hour glass for much of
North America. By reading the rec- j
ord of the rocks that go through the
neck of the gorge, as grains of sand
slip through the hour glass, scientists
stopwatch the glacier sheets, which
were the first plows to furrow the fer
tile Mid-West. In the sermons of
the cataract's stones lie the chronology
of Lake Algonquin, the predecessor of
Lakes Superior, Michigan and Huron,
and of Lake Iroquois, the sprawling
progenitor of Lake Ontario. Their
dates are fixed almost as accurately as
hlatory books report William the Con j
queror’s arrival in Kngland In 1066.
"Across the Neck.”
The story that is told by Niagara, ■
which is 95.17 per cent Canadian, Is
related in the following bulletin by the
National Geographic society :
Niagara is the North American
champion in one of the greatest bat
tles nature ever umpired. Literally
scores of challengers sought her crown.
More than once Niagara fell almost
lifeless on her waterworn rocks. But
finally the seekers for her crown gave
up; the last not many more centuries
ago than the days of Tut-Ankh-Amen.
Niagara is said to take its name
from the Indian title nee-agg-arah,
which appropriately means “across the
neck.” The Niagara river cuts across
the neck of land separating Lake Erie
and Lake Ontario. Just east of
Buffalo the river collects the entire
natural discharge of the four upper
Great Lakes, rushes It through a nar
rowing river for 16 miles, pushes It
over a sheer drop of 212 feet, churns
It seven miles through a canyon, and
then carries it gently by seven miles
of lowland to Lake Ontario.
Our Niagara was born when the
glaciers melted hack, exposing the
ridge the water now tumbles down.
Like the glaciers of the Rockies, these
enormous sheets of Ice moving down
from Labrador poured out streams
of water. These streams collected
ages ago at the foot of the huge Ice
lobes In depressions extending Into
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Accumu
lated water sometimes rrse hundreds
of feet higher than the present level
of the Great Lakes and poured out Into
the Mississippi over the present site
of Chicago and through outlets In Ohio
and Indiana.
Finally, as the lee melted northward,
prehistoric Lake Tonawanda formed
on the edge of the plateau over which
Niagara pours. There were the* five
outlets from this lake—at Holley, Me
dina, Gaaport, Lockport and Lewiston.
The spillway at Lewiston—Niagara—
won out. Lockport gorge now con
tains a flight of steps for the New
Tork barge canal.
Early Niagaras Numerous.
About the time Niagara was begin
ning to triumph, the melting glacier
moved back to Lake Slmcoe, Ontario.
The fickle waters of the upper lakea
lost little time In finding the Trent
valley, a ragged series of lakes and
rivers leading Into Lake Ontario.
Trent valley gorges tell of many early
Niagaras. At that time only 15 per
cent of the preaent flow went over
Niagara, forming the narrow lower
gorge. Nature came to the rescue, tip
ping a great block of land, ever so
■lightly, but enough to shut off the
Trent faucet and make even more
water go over Niagara than the spec
tator sees today. But the Chicago out
let predecessor of the drainage canal,
again cut down the flow. The Whirl
pool waa made at this time.
Once again Niagara waa flouted when
the outlet shifted to North bay,
f i- ** /
Ontario, sending the waters down ths
Ottawa over the portage which CkJam
plaln was to take to discover Lake Hu
ron. The upper narrow gorge was
then carved, but again the hugs rock
saucer, which has the Qreat Lakes pud
dles In the bottom, tipped, leaving Ni
agara triumphant.
Niagara started to spill over the
bank at Lewiston about 80,000 years
ago. In 300 centuries It has shoveled
• Its way seven miles. At Its present
I rate of excavation, more than four feet
annually, Niagara will dig back the re
maining 16 miles to Lake Erie about
the year A. D. 21924. Before this
time, however, man may take a hand,
since the peril to the famous Horse
shoe falls, by the recent erosion, has
brought forth the suggestion of rein
forcing the Up of the falls.
Ancient Treasure Sought
Mill City, Ore.—The excavation of a
large pile of rocks, which workers are
sure Is an ancient tomb with burled
treasure and possibly contains the re
mains of some noted chief. Is attract
ing much Interest on the little north
fork of the Santiam river, about ten
miles east of Mehama. A large tun
nel has been driven Into the rocks,
and the workers expect developments
any day, having been rewarded with
various signs of ancient life. No ad
mittance Is allowed to the cave at
present, for considerable dynamite Is
used in trying to reach the supposed
I burying spot.
Fishermen Are Puzzled
West Plains, Mo.—Fishermen of
West Plains have been puzzled at the
different varieties of fish that have
been found In various ponds in this vi
cinity. In one pond a fisherman recent
ly caught several large goldfish, when
no one had any Idea that there were
any fish In the pond. In another pond
catfish and bass were found, while still
another pond In the same vicinity was
! filled with crapple. The slate game
and fish department has explained the
unusual condition by asserting that
wild ducks and geese frequently drop
onto streams where the fish have laid
their spawn, uni in arising the fish
eggs cling to their legs and feet. These
are dropped in the next pond onto
which they alight.
