The Enthusiasm of Youth i>r. James M. Kieran, president of Hunter College, New York, not long ago finished his 50th year ot service as an educator; and, as men will on such occasions, he looked backward over his life, smiled tolerantly and re marked, “There is nothing new under the sun. Fifty years of watching young people give a man a philosophy all his own. Dr. Kieran, considering the ways of youth, pointed out: “When I was in college, when you were in college, we thought we were the most important people in the! world, and the world just couldn’t get along without us. “For a few years that continues. Then we get quiet er, more conservative, and look down on these youngsters and say, very wisely, 'You’ll get over it.’ And they do. No one who ever stopped to look back over his youth will dispute that statement, purely; and somehow, when you stop to think about it, that is one of the most melan choly things about life. Youth does “get over it, always. There is no enthusiasm in the world quite like the enthusiasm of youth. There is no ardor like youth’s ardor, there is no idealism like the idealism of youth. These are forces wnich sometimes seem to have the power to remake the face of the world—if they could only be preserved and guided into the right channels. Nothing could stand before them. They are coupled, often enough with the faith that can move mountains. But it happens that, as Dr. Kieran says, youth gets over it. Youth finds that the adult world has a way of; being a little bit suspicious of enthusiasm and ardor and idealism. It comes forth radiant, with those things in its hands, and finds them a drug on the market. And so, by and by, youth gets over it, learns how to focus its eyes on the main chance, and grows up. There is a very real loss there. It is good for young people to feel that they are the most important people in the world. For—we might as well admit it—they really are. I - , Wanted: A Naval Policy The American people do not seem to have been able, to make up their minds, during th eyears since the World War, just what they intend to do with their navy. For a brief space it was the greatest navy in the world: then it was cut down sharply, and since then we have waver ed between cutting it still farther and building it up again! to the limit of our ability. There is now pending legislation w hich would reduce the naval appropriation for the coming year; and Rear Admiral William A. Moffett chief of the navy bureau of aeronautics, warns that the proposed cut would result in the decommissioning of 32 warships and one dirigible, the j closing of three important navy yards and one naval train ing station and the release of 10,500 enlisted men. That being the case, it would seem to be high time for us to decide definitely just what our naval policy is to be. Are we to keep a big. robust navy in spite of the depression, or cut it down in spite of the troublous inter International situation. The Once Over fill.

Tin Pan Alley rates this honor as the writing ' fraternity does the Nobel prize. The t prestige, in other words, is worth < many, many times more than the immediate monetary reward. Even j the most famous music maestros j 1 would be glad to render their ser- \ vices gratis. So naturally there was a lot ol scheming and wire-pulling on the 1 part of bandsmen when it was ] learned there would be a ball this ( year. At least 37 press agents stat ed ••positively" that their clients would be among the lucky hall dozen to help usher in the new ad ministration. I Silly charges wore hurled back and forth, and even got into tele grams to James Farley and Admiral ( Grayson. Guy Lombardo’s band, some charged untruthfully, was composed mostly of aliens.

Specht .nvaded England early in 1 his career, and was doing very well indeed until the Ministry of Labor ‘ put him on its unwelcome list to j * prob'd its native jazz masters. This j annoyed Specht. who knew there ’ weir above live times as many But- , \ ish artists in America as there were ! 1 American ones in England So he 1 revolted against the ruling, and in the next 5 years sent 26 orchestras to London. He dispatched them m- ' 1 dividually, and in groups, and as - "students.” "tourists" and “scien tists.” He was discovered and evict ed twice hims If, once when he tried to fly m from Part-. But he suc ceeded in influencing Lord Birken head. formerly Lord Chancellor to vary the decision of the Ministry ol Iaib«>r. The last time he went over, with a band, was on a boat chartered by 1000 members ol the American Bar Association.

Specht had played for the Co«>l idgc-Curtus inaugural ball.

It is the opinion of Drs. Greene Fitzhugh and Burton E. Hamilton that it probably will continue to increase if medical progress con tinues and greater numbers ot people live to reach the age when angina is most frequent. They are oonvinced that efforts toward preventing angina oectom have been hindered by a general btlief that fatalities are essential!* haphazard in their origin and lha: K is difficult, if not impossible, u control them. A special study has been maae o: :00 cases of death from angina pec- | tens which has yielded some re markable information as to the reasons lor the onset of the attack In 31 cases the attack occurred im mediately after some unaccustomed exertion which was violent, and In 2* others after unaccustomed ex-, ution which approached violence. Such exertions as mountain climbing, rowing, changing a tire, pushing an automobile that has tun out of gas. scraping a furnace, tarrying heavy bundles, painting -i beat or a room and ceiling, wash ing a large and active doa, ana swimming were associated wita fatal attacks of angina oectorLs hi Indents who might have lived longer had they not attempted1 these extraordinary exertions In 44 out of the 100 fatal cases, death followed unusually prolonged , activity, including loss of slpep and rest, which resulted in unusual fa i tigue For instance, the coining of the economic depression cause ti j many an executive to assume bur- i drns of detail which in times oi ! prosperity were left to his assist ants.
