EDITORIAL
TO OUR MOTHERS
Pleasant evidence of the popu-
larity of American mothers is con-
tained in a recent report by the
Department of Commerce concern- |
ing the effect of “Mother's Day”
on the sales of candy. Natiomal
statistics collected by the depart-
ment show that candy sales jumped
twenty per cent last year during
the week preceding that holiday, to
be celebrated this year on May
10th. Mother's Day, it appears,
sends more people to the candy
counter than any other holiday ex-
cepting Christmas and Easter.
The tons of sweets personally
presen‘ed to mothers or announced
by the postman’s whistle are the
best answer to the synies who de-
clare that the mothers of this gen-
eration are not holding the love
and respect of their children. These
same tokens of affection are also
a defiant and conclusive reply to
certain modern schools of psy-
chology which are advocating a
more detached attitude between
mothers and children. The deep
love and reverence that finds its
expression in verbal and material
greetings on Mother's Day is testi-
mony to the sound and unbreak-
able bond between them.
Modern mo hers may be rouged
and powdered. They may play
bridge and golf. They may do less
cooing over their babies, but the
tenderness of motherhood is theirs
as it was their own mothers’. A
few women in every generation
have been callous and indifferent
to ther maternal duties and pleas-
urers, but ‘n this day as in all oth-
ers, a mother is the mos: influen-
tial factor in a child's life.
So let’s pile her lap high with
candy and flowers, and let's write
poems in her praise on Mother's
Day. Her umselfishness and sacri-
ficial spirit have made her worthy
of all we can do and give, and her
love will follow us around the
world the one proof of an abiding
faith and a constant affection.
GOING BACK TO THE FARM
We have been hearing for many
years about the movement from
the farm to the village and the city.
Commentators who have let their
imaginations roam have pictured a
future civilization for America in
which there will be no rural life at
all. Everybody will live in cities,
and food will be produced by chem-
ical processes in factories to which
these city dwellers will go every
day to work. Light and sunshine
and ventilation and exercise and
all of the other essentials of health
will be provided, according to these
dreamers, by artificial means de-
vised by engineers.
As. a matter of cold fact, it turns
out that the tide of migration from
the farm to the municipality has
been slackening: for many years,
and now has definitely turned in
the other direction. For the first
time in twenty years the records
of the United States Department of
Agriculture show that there was a
gain in farm population during
1930. There are 208,000 more peo-
ple living on the farms than there
were a year ago. One reason for
this is that life on the farm is
more comfortable and less stren-
uous than it used to be. The aver-
age farmer is no longer isolated
from the world. Most farms today
have electric light and power, ac-
cess to communities in every direc-
tion over good roads, and automo-
biles with which to go to town to
see the movies or take part in so-
cial gatherings. Most of the farm-
ers who haven’t already got radio
sets will soon have them, while the
telephone, now almost universal,
brings the whole country within
speaking distance.
The commercial farmer—the
farmer who makes a business of
farming—has been affected by the
present wave of economic depres-
sion even more than the manufac-
turer. But the great majority of
small farmers, with whom life on
the farm is more a mode of living
than it is an industry, are the peo-
ple in America who have suffered
least by reason of the economic
slump. The drought, to be sure, has
hit hundreds of thousands of these,
but the drought hasn't been univer-
sal, and in the sections where na-
ture has not interferred there
seems to be little doubt that the
greatest security and contentment
to be found anywhere in the Unit-
ed States is found on the naiton’s
one-family farms.
That sense of security, of having
a piece of solid ground under one’s
feet from which at least a living
can be obtained by whoever is
willing to work, is doubtless the
reason why, in a season of wide-
, spread industrial unemployment,
, there been what amounts al-
' a rush of migration back

STATE WILL START OILING
HIGHWAYS THIS WEEK
Oiling of State highways started
Monday and will be completed in a-
bout sixty days, Secretary of High-
ways Samuel S. Lewis announced.
If weather conditions ave favorable
the oiling will take less time since
allowance was made for a reason-
able amount of bad weather, Sec-
retary Lewis said. Oliing will again
be done in staggered strips, leaving
half the road open for traffic, and
there will be advance information
to motorists when a road is to be
oiled through signs to be placed a
week before the work starts. The
maintenance forces of the depart-
ment will do the job and more
than 3,500,000 gallons of oil will
be applied.

Feed For Profit
Careful feeding of dairy cows is
especially important when the milk
prices are low. The ration should be
carefully balanced and grain fed
strictly in accordance with the
amount of milk produced. Careless-
ness in feeding increases milk pro-
duction costs.
to the farm. And it seems to us
that the unemployed industrial
workers who have removed them-
selves and their families from the
congested industrial centers to the
healthful security of the farm have
displayed a high degree of pru-
dence and intelligence.
PLACING THE BLAME
One of the popular activities of
the times, if not at all times, is
that of placing responsibility on
others. Sometimes it can be accom-
plished with a degree of success,
but in other attempts they only
turn out to be ridiculous. Public
opinion may not always decide cor-
rectly, but it is known to determine
definitely.
It is not consistent on the part
of adults to complain if boys and
girls imitate them, or even inaugu-
rate some ideas of their own in
the matter of apparel and conduct.
Instruction which is not backed up
by example is not likely to prove
very effective in the matter of be-
havior and morals.

HEALTH TALK
#RITTEN BY DR. THEODORE
B. APPEL, SECRETARY OF
HEALTH
“The great difficulty with many
| public health problems lies in the
[inability of health officials to do
{much about them. When conditions
can be subjected to mass control
the matter then is comparatively
easily solved. For example, typhoid
fever by reason of the supervision
of water and milk suppMes has
been shorn of its terrible power. A-
gain, smallpox because of compul-
sory vaccination seldom originates
in Pennsylvania. And many of the
{contagious diseases, thanks to the
| efficient application of the quaran-
tine procedure, are kept satisfac-
torily in check. But when these and
similar mass controls are applied,
the rest of it is largely a matter
for personal interest and concern,”
said Doctor Theodore B. Appel,
Secretary of Health.
“As a matter of fact the biggest
part of the health problem remains
for the individual himself to solve.
Officials can advise, implore and
insist, ‘but when they have done
that they can do little else. Indif-
#erence, more than lack of know-
ledge, is perhaps the greatest ally
of such diseases as cancer, tubercu-
losis, heart affections and diabetes.
Refusing to recogn’ze the great de-
tecting abilities of the annual phy-
sical examination, people ignore it.
Literally, tens of thousands of
needles deaths annually occur as a
direct consequence.
“And what is so sadly true re-
garding the cowardly slaying di-
seases is pathetically applicable to
the frightful toll of life to which
American mothers are being an-
nually subjected. It is indeed a sad
commentary on this country’s ap-
preciation of motherhood that of
the 16,000 women in the United
States who every year die from
causes related to maternity, 10,000
of them should not have thus suec-
cumbed.
“If, in addition, it is realized
that, of the 100,000 bab'es who
now die in the first mon h of life,
at least 30,000 of them could be
saved by adequate maternity care,
[the situation becomes even more
shameful.
“This year the national celebra-
tion of Mother's Day, which occurs
next Sunday, is directing attention
[to this great and serious problem.
| The attitude this year could well
| be expressed: Honor those who
save the
{have passed beyond, but
{lives of those who are here.
| “Proper living habits advised by
{a careful doctor, together w'th the
help of a public health nurse,
should be the program from the
{first knowledge of the expectancy
through the whole nine months.
This, plus medical attention for six
weeks after it, can spectacularly
change the United States figures of
6.5 mother deaths per 100,000
live births—the world’s unenviable
record. Parents to be, only your
help can bring the results.”

MEASLES RECORDS
FULFILL PROPHECY
Records in the bureay of commun-
icable diseases compiled today for
Secretary of Health, Doctor Theo-
dore B. Appel, indicate that the
State Health Department's prophecy
regarding the likely unusual preva-
lence of measles during the spring of
1931 was entirely justified.
Approximately 5,000 cases 3f meas-
les were reported in the last seven
days, representing a number some-
what in excess of reports for a thir-
ty day period under normal circum-
stances,
Doctor Appel said that while con-
trol measures are exceedingly diffi-
cult to apply, he has ordered the
several hundred health officers to
exert every effort to the end fhat the
quarantine procedure be strictly en-
forced in every case.
The localities most affected during
the last week included Lancaster,
Chester, Fayette and Lehigh counties
