situation was one of enthusiasm that j
ended with the singing of "America" (
by the hundred or more members and '
guests who filled the banquet hall. 1
Dr. J. Duncan Spaeth, a graduate
of the University of Pennsylvania and)
a professor and crew coach at Prince- i

, MONDAY EVENING, '
retar.v of the State Board of Educa-1
tion, was the toastmaster. He called
on William S. Earnest, who paid a
fitting tribute to the memory of Daniel
S. Seitz, former city solicitor, and one i
of the founders of the club. "Girard," i
alias Herman L. Collins, of the Public
Ledger, could not be present at the
banquet by reason of the need of his
presence in Philadelphia during the
present national uncertainty.
Telegrams of regret, carefully pre- ,
pared, were received at intervals from <
the inner pocket of the club's secre
tary, Mark T. Milnor, and included
messages from Ihe Senior Senator of
Pennsylvania, Thomas \V. Lawson,
Robert C. Folwell, football coach of
University of Pennsylvania, and
others.
Toastmaster in Genial Mood
Dr. Becht introduced Prof. Corwin
by relating an incident some years
back when a certain football game be
tween Lehigh and Lafayette was won
through the aid of the referee, who
happened to be "Bob" Corwin. To
which Yale's old football captain of.

* * His industriousness makes him
study every proposition laboriously;
and his irony or "cynicism" or mental
honesty makes him study it without
any illusions, on its own individual
merits; and so he arrives at an inde
pendence which is absolutely incalcul
able and unpredictable.—From William
Hard's description of Augustus Pea
hody Gardner, in Collier's Weekly for
February :i.
the eighties remarked that "he re
membered the incident well, and that
he had retired to the sidelines while
tlio umpire and the police cleared the '
field."
He told some interesting facts about j
the methods employed at Yale for
financing undergraduate athletics, and
dwelt in particular upon the gradual j
evolution of athletics to clean sport,
for which he himself has always stood.
Prof. Corwin declared that colleges
exist to gH-e men ideals and stand- j
ards and that it should be a means I
and not an end for which young men
ought to strive.
Dr. Spaeth, a self-styled "hyphen
ated college man" because of his con
nections with the University of Penn
sylvania and Princeton, likened him
self to a man in a position of neutral- !
ity between Penn, his collegiate
mother and Princeton, his academic
wife: "when mother and wife begin
to (ight," he said, "I find myself in
an embarrassing position."
"Intellectual mobility and sympathy <

PINS OFTEN CAUSE
OF MUCH ILLNESS
Practice of Putting Them in
the Mouth Is Dangerous
Says Dr. Dixon
One pin can carry enough germs
jto lay a family low, declares Dr.
Samuel G. Dixon, State Commissioner
, of Health, in a statement issued to
day In which he warns against the
practice of putrThg pins into the
mouth. The commissioner's state-
I inent is the result of careful observa
tion of accident and disease histories.
The commissioner says;
"The pin is born with millions of
brothers rn'l sisters, who leave home
to travel all parts of the world. On
their ,lourney they come in contact
with us human begins and it might be
interesting to take up what sometimes
happens when they do so.
"Suppose a pin found its way into
the laundry of a shirt manufacturer.
W c would be likely to heur of it first in
the mouth of one of those folding the
shirt and preparing it for shipment.
This pin, as well as others, might per
haps be making its first intimate ac
quaintance with the germ that pro
duces sore throat. The shirt gets to
the customer who starts to make it
ready for use. For the second time
the poor pin finds the human mouth
again, its abiding place. Possibly this
time it gets into an ulcerated mouth,
thence it gets into the pin cushion or
some other receptacle.
"The persons who handle these
cannot recognize disease germs by the
naked eye and therefore the pin with
Its cargo of germs Is ready for a new
service. This time, perhaps, by a
dressmaker, if she has the bad habit
already alluded to, she fills her mouth
with these pins while she cuts with
her patterns and fits various pieces to
gether. This time, for variation, the
pin may have found lodgment in a
healthy mouth. Nevertheless it is not
pleasant, when you know the pin's
history thus far, to think of anyone
making such use of them.
"Many a mother'who uses pins in
fastening a child's dress together does
the same thing. By this time in the
pin's life history it is quite well armed
with spores of germs and really is
accountable for much harm along its
path of travel. And now as it is get
ting old and about ready to close its
life a little child may be stricken with
tonsilitis or diphtheria or even scarlet
fever, because some of these diseases
are easily communicable from throats
so recently affected by the disease that
the danger is not recognized. The
presence of the germs that have been
referred to on the pin is a real danger,
as the physician or laboratory worker
knows he can plant these pins taken
from everyday use and plant them in
foodstuffs that will make theni grow
and multiply In great numbers—colo
nies can be seen by the naked eye and
they can be injected into other living
beings and produce disease.
"The habit of putting pins into the
mouth would not continue for a mo
men if everyone knew this.
"The moral of this little story is—
never hold pins in the mouth, as they
spread disease, even fatal disease."

Nowhere is the sand more like a
j deep, warm dust of yellow gold; no

together in the sharp sunlight like
brush marks on a higli-keyed canvas

long, white, lovely arms which flash
out, cold and dripping, from the sea;
nowhere does water appear less like

AVOID TROUBLE BY
HELPING TEETH
Slate Health Commissioner
Shows How People Can Save
Themselves Worry
Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, State Com
missioner of Health says that peo
ple can avoid trouble by looking after
their teeth. There la nothing which
people are so prone to neglect until
it is too late, says the commissioner.
The commissioner says:
"The teeth are the first factor in
the process of digestion. They repre
sent the millstones that cut and grind
the food. As they do so. alkaline secre
tions are given out by glands in the
mouth and n\ix with the food to make
the first change it undergoes in the
process of being absorbed by the sys
tem.
"Good teeth are essential to normal
digestion. Teeth which are diseased
or artificial teeth held in place by set
tings which retain foodstuffs, arc in
jurious to health because they provide
places in which disease producing
germs grow and multiply.
"If you have diseased teeth or false
teeth not easy to keep clean have them
attended to. The germs they foster
are producing poisonous substances
that interfere with the normal func
tions of vital organs, such as the heart
and kidneys.
"If you put your teeth in order, pro
vided the organs have not become
chronically affected by long subjection
to improper conditions in the mouth,
the discontinuance of the poisons will
permit nature to reassert herself and
the organs whose functions have been
effected will resume their normal course
in sustaining the scheme of life.
"Care of the teeth should begin with
the advent of the child's first ones.
They should bo kept clean by means
that will insure no wounding of the
guns. They are usually destroyed by
acid, therefore no mouth washes con
taining acid should be used. Consult
your dentist before using mouth washes
or preparations in the form of powd
ers, creams, etc.
"If you are interested in your diges
tion, you will avoid incongruous mix
tures of foodstuffs made up solely to
tickle the taste. Potato salad In the
American style is a good example. The
potato is composed chiefly of starch.
That is digested in the second stom
ach where the secretions are alkaline.
Tf you soak the potato in vinegar you
have something whose nature is strict
ly opposite to the alkaline, which it
fights. Therefore, you are materially
delaying the digestive process.
"Poor cooking often makes proper
food either difficult or impossible to
digest. The hard earned money of
the household goes to the purchase of
good food which is often ruined by the
housewife ignorant in the art of cook
ing. Good cooking is not a matter of
whim or flattering the palate. It is an
absolute essential to health. There
fore the art should be taught in our
public and parochial schools.
"If you eat too fast when the body
is overheated, heated or chilled, you
will often suffer distressing indigestion.
Kating in impure or stale air will in
terfere with digestion. If you are com
pelled to take a meal under such cir
cumstances, the quantity of the food
should bo reduced to a minimum.
"Outside of some of these things
which have been mentioned, all of
which can be controlled to a greater
or less extent, it will be found that cer
tain food 3 do not in themselves agree
with certain persons. If you are eat
ing sensible food in a sensible manner
and you find that some particular thing
does not agreed with you, the only
thing to do Is to cut it off your list."
"UXCI.K JOE" VS. GARDNKII
Mr. Cannon saw a wave of immi
gration-restriction legislation coming.
IHe therefore, as Speaker, put his
, crown on his head and took his scep
j ter in his hand and walked down to
the edge of the beach and spoke to
the wave, and it turned hack and
i made off Into the open sea. Mr. Can
| non. us Speaker, said that immigra
tion-restriction legislation would not
be, and it was not. Mr. Gardner was
at once converted to a strong belief in
a revision of the rules of the House,
and became an insurgent. Mr. Can
non noticed that Mr. Gardner had be
come an insurgent. The next thing
that Mr. Gardner noticed was that he
had ceased to be a chairman of any
committee. Mr. Gardner took a terri
ble revenge. He accumulated whole
arsenals of filing cabinet* and clipping
books on immigration, extended his
personal discernment of immigrants
to include Croats, and became thts
country's chief political manufacturer
of the solid shots of fact and of ar
gument by which the recent victories
on behalf of immigration restriction
have been won in the House of Rep
resentaUvcs and in the Senate.—From
Collier's Weekly for February.
