A really healthy skin is always a clean skin and usually a beautiful skin.

Physicians who have studied the care of the skin say that simple cleanliness is the one most important aid to the health and beauty of your complexion.

And they dwell upon the importance of using pure, gentle soap, which is nothing but soap-that is, without extraneous or mysterious additions.

A word of caution, therefore:-
if you buy a soap with the
hope that it has magic beauty
powers, you court disappoint-
ment. For promoting beauty,
soap can do only one thing-
clean safely.

One would say that was simple enough to clean safely.

Yet before Ivory Soap, only a few people could enjoy the luxury of pure, mild, safe-cleaning soap. Now, of course, everyone can have it.

Safe-cleansing is the duty, the privilege and the destiny of Ivory Soap. In forty-four years no other claim has been made for it.

Ivory is always the samealways that white, mild, gentle soap which has protected hands and faces and refreshed bodies for nearly two generations. It contains no "mysteries," it offers no "magic."

When you buy Ivory, you are asked to buy only pure soap. Ivory helps to beautify, because it cleans safely.

PROCTER & GAMBLE

"My dear Alicia," says Mr. Jollyco in a very gentlemanly dudgeon, "why has this comic opera soap replaced the Ivory in my bathroom?" (We always know Mr. Jollyco is angry when he says "my bathroom" and is so frighteningly polite.)

"I think, Henry," replies his wife without a flinch, "that that soap belongs to your daughter Sally, who has lately gone in for colored 'beauty soap. The Ivory is just behind you."

Some day Mr. Jollyco is going to speak sternly to Sally about dyes in colored soap. But today he will feel so good after his lathery Ivory bath that he will forget it.

Here we see Mrs. Folderol-at home. What! The Mrs. Folderol, of Vanity Square? The very same! With her poor little rich baby that cries so much. Why does he cry? Listen as Mrs. F. talks with Mrs. Jollyco.

"Why, I can't see how the soap could hurt him-it's so expensive and pretty and smells heavenly!"

"But, my dear, his skin shows it. He's chafed! Haven't you any Ivory?" No, Mrs. F. has no Ivory, but she will have after Dr. Verity arrives.

And here, dear reader, is Dr. Verity, whose motto is: "Keeping well is better than getting well." A most lovable old gentleman, indeed, but very severe and frowny when dealing with persons like Mrs. Folderol, to whose home he is now hurrying.

SHOULD CHILDREN BE

COURT-MARTIALED?

A

S a result of hazing at Annapolis the President has ordered the dismissal of two first-class midship

men and the reduction to a lower class of three more. Other cases are awaiting executive action.

The President is emphatically right in expelling and reducing midshipmen guilty of hazing at the Naval Academy. We trust that Congressmen will have learned by this time to keep their hands off cases of discipline at the Naval Academy and that there will be no interference, successful or otherwise, with the sentences which the President has confirmed.

The persistence of the hazing tradition at Annapolis is rather incomprehensible to the country at large. College traditions can, if handled wisely, be created or abolished in a comparatively short space of time. Hazing even in its mild form has died out or is dying out of every civil institution in the country of any standing. The Annapolis students, by supporting and sanctioning the hazing of underclass men, manifest nothing except their own childishness.

It sometimes seems that, instead of treating them like men who can be held accountable for their acts, they ought to be given caps and bells and stood in corners with their faces to the wall. Such punishment, however, is impossible, for though the mentality of a hazer may be infantile, the offense he commits against decency and discipline is very serious.

IN KANSAS CITY
THEY MOVE QUICKLY

R. C. K. TAYLOR'S contention that

Mchildren should be first given a

thorough medical examination and then, if found healthy, developed physically in accordance with their natural and normal type of build has attracted Nationwide interest. And now the great "under-weight delusion," which, as readers of The Outlook know, troubled Mr. Taylor exceedingly, has been given a body blow by Kansas City, Missouri.

As a result of his Outlook articles Mr. Taylor was invited by the Rotary Club of Kansas City to present his views in person before the parents, physicians, and educational leaders of that wide-awake and progressive city. Some of our Eastern intelligentsia, if they should happen to read The Outlook, might learn from this statement that Rotary Clubs

DECEMBER 27, 1922

have other and more vital functions than merely that of boosting their home towns. They build as well as boost.

Kansas City kept Mr. Taylor extremely busy. He gave demonstrations of his method of measuring healthy children before the Rotary Club, the Jackson County Medical Association, the Parents-Teachers Association, the Boy Scouts, and most of the educational authorities of the city. In the course of the week Mr. Taylor gave twenty-one lectures, most of them with demonstrations.

Of the results of this week's campaign Mr. Taylor writes:

On Saturday was a meeting of the physical training heads of the various schools. Every one had seen the workings of the plan in his or her own school. A brief résumé of the plan was again outlined to them, and then Dr. Cammack, the progressive superintendent, said, simply, "Shall we take up this new system?"

"Yes," they unanimously replied. "All right," said he; "we'll get the material right away."

And that was all there was to it. How directly these Middle Westerners go to a point! If a matter is practical and useful, it is promptly taken over. And I thought of an aggressive but sadly experienced head of the physical training department of one of our Eastern public school systems, who, while deciding to introduce the height-weight plan, showed that it would take a year or two to do so openly! For there would be prejudices against anything new that had to be.overcome. There would have to be much newspaper publicity and education through the press. There would have to be much diplomacy, for groups of aliens that comprise so large a proportion of the population of our Eastern cities would make an awful fuss if a boy took his shirt off so that his chest could be examined! What a contrast to Kansas City, with the scores of schoolboys measured during that week, sturdy sons of pioneering Americans, like their fathers keen for physical fitness, who not only were measured from head to foot without a stitch on their backs, but who went home and bragged about their scores to their admiring and approving parents!

The physical standards developed by Mr. Taylor have been accepted by nine public school systems, six private schools, two foreign mission schools, several Boy Scout troops, one Girl Scout troop, one life insurance company, and a State School for the Deaf in Michigan. All this has occurred during the past year. An article by Mr. Taylor on the introduction of his system in public schools is published in this issue.

CARTS BEFORE HORSES

s school and college students know, it has been the custom of the august authorities to examine their victims on the progress they are making in the utilization and acquisition of facts. Harvard seems to have adopted what may be considered by some a Chinese version of the accepted practice. In one instance it gave an examination in the beginning instead of the end of a course. Appropriately enough, this test was given in the basic college course in Government, known to all Harvard men as Gov. 1, a course which Dr. Lowell himself conducted for several years before he was made President of Harvard University.

This examination was designed to test the student's power to use terms accurately, his background of elementary information of public affairs, his general knowledge of the sequence of events of American history, and his reaction to simple questions of public policy. There were forty-five questions in the test as a whole, and the time allowed for the examination was twenty minutes. It included such questions as the following:

Where the two words mean the same thing, or nearly the same thing, mark Yes; where they mean quite different things, mark No.

Abbreviate-Curtail;

Prolix-Ver

bose: Centripetal-Disintegrating;

Plenary-Restricted; Iconoclastic

Idolizing.

By striking out words make the following sentences accurate:

It was Lee Washington Pershing Stark who said "Put none but Americans on guard to-night."

Daniel Webster was a native of New Hampshire a graduate of Dartmouth College the editor of a famous dictionary and a Senator from Massachusetts.

Where the statement is accurate, mark Yes; where it is inaccurate, mark No.

The decisions of a grand jury must be unanimous.

An American citizen who accepts an office in any foreign government loses his American citizenship.

The Constitution provides that the President and the Vice-President must not be residents of the same State.

Where the events are placed in their proper chronological order mark Yes; where they are not so placea, mark No.

Jay's Treaty, Jackson's war on the Bank, Fourteenth Amendment, Greenback Controversy.

Framing of the Constitution, Mes

can War, Missouri Compromise, Promulgation of the Monroe Doctrine.

Complete each of the sentences by marking a cross (X) after the clause which helps to make the most sensible statement.

Congress is made up of two Houses to represent all parts of the country

because there were two Houses during the Revolution

to prevent hasty and unwise legislation

The secret ballot is used because it
protects the voter against intimi-
dation

prevents men from voting twice
makes votes easier to count

One freshman confronted with this test scored 100 per cent, and other members of the course made only a few mistakes. It would seem from this result that the growth in the study of civics and government in our primary and secondary schools has not been without definite results. Either that or the present-day college student takes a wider interest in public affairs than he is credited with by those who lament the shortcomings of the rising generation.

GOVERNOR ALLEN ON THE KU KLUX KLAN

K

ANSAS is engaged in trying out the Ku Klux Klan through an action brought in the State Supreme Court to restrain its secret activities. Naturally, Governor Henry J. Allen is much interested in the question. In an interview in New York recently Governor Allen gave such a vivid description of the Klan as he sees it that we quote at some length from it in the New York "Herald:"

In my State the thing has gone beyond a laughing matter. Every day my mail is choked with letters from people who have received threatspitiful letters from poor people so frightened they know not what to do. Every one who has a private grudge is using the Klan to scare his enemy. Bigotry and religious intolerance are rife. Pulpits where once was preached the brotherhood of man now thunder denunciations against each other, and neighbors who in years gone by lived in peace and harmony now hate each other with a hatred which passes understanding. And they say that all this is the aftermath of a feeling engendered by the war. There is no doubt that many excellent men have joined the Klan from misdirected zeal. In New Orleans its activity is directed against the Jewish element. In other parts of the South the object is the Negro. In Kansas it is the Catholic. I myself have been branded by the Klan as a Catholic and all of my family, Catholic. They must have been somewhat surprised when they discovered that I am a Methodist, a thirty-second degree Mason, and a lot of other things which a Catholic cannot be.

What is proposed in Kansas is to have Supreme Court uphold the State

Charter Board in denying the Klan a charter, and thereby make it illegal for the Klan to carry on its organization work. Other States take notice!

AVIATION WITHOUT LAW

B

OOTLEGGING by airplane between the United States and Canada continues to thrive; Lieutenant Maynard, the "Flying Parson," is killed; President Harding and thousands of spectators at the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial are placed in jeopardy by an irresponsible low-flying aviator; and the lives of countless thousands of innocent spectators at the Yale Bowl and other stadiums are risked unnecessarily because the House of Representatives has so far failed to provide, as forty other nations

flying will be made safer, and rickety airplanes and reckless pilots will be for the most part eliminated. The benefit, therefore, will be shared by those who make airplanes, those who pilot them, those who ride in them as passengers, and those who watch them fly.

Opposition to the passage of the House bill is practically nil. On the other hand, the Department of Commerce, the Army Air Service, the Navy Bureau of Aeronautics, the National Aeronautic Association, the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce, and other civilian and Governmental agencies are for it.

AIR CONTROL AND AIR CAUTION NEEDED

have provided, for Governmental regula T

tion of civil aviation. And this in spite of the fact that the entire aeronautical industry has asked for that Governmental "interference" to which many American industries have objected.

Before you went hunting cottontail or deer this winter you had to have a hunting license; before you sat down behind the wheel of the new car you likewise had to have an automobile license. But if you have the price of an airplane and a few gallons of gas there is nothing in the world—or, rather, in the United States-to hinder your going and coming as you please, without let, hindrance, or license. If you are an irresponsible "stunt" pilot with an obsolete "war" machine, or an unattached or "gypsy" flier with a rickety contraption hitched to a sputtering motor, no one can prevent you from taking passengers for "joy" rides at so much per head.

THE LAW PROPOSED

NE of the most important pieces of legislation now before the House is the Wadsworth Bill providing for Federal control of civil aviation, which the Senate passed months ago. If the Wadsworth Bill is enacted into law, there will be established in the Department of Commerce a Bureau of Civil Aeronautics, which will regulate and encourage flying. This Bureau will co-operate with the Forest Service or any other Government bureau which seeks aerial co-operation. The fitness of an applicant for a license to operate an airplane will be passed upon by experts. The machine itself will be inspected and tested, and if found airworthy a license will be issued. Pilots who engage in performances which imperil the lives of others will lose their "papers," and all kinds of "stunt" flying and swooping low over outdoor assemblages will be prohibited. As things stand, there is no provision for any of these things. In other words, if the Wadsworth Bill is enacted into law,

HAT some sort of control over aviation is needed, however, is not merely the opinion of aeronautical authorities or the long-suffering public, for a committee of the American Bar Association recently began a campaign for uniform aviation laws in all the States. The need for such laws or for Federal control of aviation was strikingly illustrated when that irresponsible pilot flew low over the Lincoln Memorial assemblage. That this solemn ceremony was not turned into a disaster was a matter of mere luck. Maynard, the "Flying Parson," made a splendid record as a pilot in our Army Air Service during the war, and was the victor in America's first transcontinental flight. The blame for his untimely end is placed by aeronautical authorities on the obsolete and patched-up machine with which he did "stunts" at the Vermont fair.

That airplanes are not necessarily deadly means of transportation is shown by the fact that our transcontinental mail pilots recently completed a year of flying without a single fatality, although they flew back and forth over the Rocky Mountains and other dangerous territory in all sorts of weather and at all hours of the day and night. This shows what can be accomplished through caution used in selecting pilots and a rigid inspection of machines. A few airplanes have fallen, just as a few steamships have foundered and a few railway trains have been wrecked. But the vast majority, when caution has been used in se lecting the pilot and inspecting the machine, have flown without accident.

There are statistics showing that in a single year more than 250,000 persons have been carried something like 6,000,000 miles in American airplanes without a single fatality from straight flying. At the same time hundreds of machines in the Army and the Navy Air Services also functioned without accident. No one doubts that commercial aviation is here to stay, just as the automobile and railway train are here to stay. Every

AN ADVENTUROUS HONEYMOON

INTO the port of New York came a motor

yacht just under one hundred feet in length with a beam of seventeen feet and a draught of six. Vessels of this type and size as a rule do not excite much interest in the waters along the Atlantic coast. This particular vessel, however, had dropped in from a trip around the world-the first voyage to be made by a craft of this kind.

Speejacks sailed a year ago last August from Miami, carrying Mr. and Mrs. Gowen, of Cleveland, on a honeymoon voyage. She passed through the Panama Canal, and thence westward, through the Pacific and the Indian Oceans, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Atlantic, back to the starting-place. The voyage was a perilous one, for Speejacks was almost entirely dependent upon her engine power and her gasoline supply. From the photograph it would appear that the only sails which she carried were one square sail and a jib. The signal mast upon which these are set does not look heavy enough to carry sail in much of a blow.

We should say that the feat of the Speejacks is one not likely to be repeated. A power yacht is certainly not the most comfortable type of ocean craft that can be built. A Gloucester schooner with auxiliary power could make the voyage in comparative comfort and at reatly reduced expense. Why burn oline where the trade winds blow?

WH

HY shouldn't a Museum of Art include music? Isn't music one of the greatest and fines tof the arts?

Four years ago a remarkable series of concerts, free to any one who might care to come, was the contribution of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, to the concert season. These first concerts were very quietly ushered in, for with the exception of brief announcements in the daily papers and the placards placed in the doors of the Museum they were unheralded. On the first Saturday night in January, fiftyfour symphony orchestra players took, their places in the north end of the huge gallery above the great Fifth Avenue Hall of the Museum and under the leadership of David Mannes gave as delightful a concert as might be heard in New York. The hundreds who came to the first concert felt the pride of those who officiate at some event which proves later to have been one of much importance as they mingled with the thousands who came thereafter.

Following the example of New York, London's museum also has added music to the arts which it offers the public,

delighted alike the trained muiscian and the average music lover. The philosopher-composer Brahms has been heard many times at the Museum concerts, both in his symphonies and the more widely known Hungarian Dances. Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn, Dvořák, Schumann symphonies have been played, as have overtures, symphonic poems, suites, and shorter selections by the most representative composers. Contemporary musicians have not been neglected. For this season's concerts, four on Saturday nights in January and four in March, Mr. Mannes will present programmes which prove that the Museum concerts have attained the full dignity of symphony concerts. A partial list of the works to be played is as follows: Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, the Fourth of Tschaikowsky, Schubert's "Unfinished," Brahms's Variations on a Theme by Haydn, the first movement from César Franck's D Minor Symphony, Theme and Variations by Beethoven, one of the Liszt "Hungarian Rhapsodies," "The Fountains of Rome" by the Italian modernist Respighi, two movements from a suite for strings and solo flute by Bach, the "Festival Overture" of Brahms, minuets by Mozart and Schubert, Volkmann's suite for strings with cello obligato, Weber's overture to "Oberon," Berlioz's "March to the Gallows," Wagner's "Forest Sounds" from "Siegfried," overture to Tannhäuser, Tschaikowsky's

"Nutcracker" Suite and "Marche Slav."

The director of the Museum, Edward Robinson, has arranged that this year, as in the preceding ones, the Museum will be open for a short time after the concerts so that those who so desire may visit the galleries and collections before going home. As usual, lectures illustrative of the music to be played will be given in the Lecture Hall of the Museum on the afternoons of the concert days.

SHALL WE TURN THEM BACK
TO THEIR PERSECUTORS?

MONG those fleeing from the Turk

ber music concerts.

It has been the custom for many years to have a symphony orchestra, led by Mr. Mannes, play in the Metropolitan Museum of Art on reception days. The possibilities for concerts of good music as an additional part of the work of the Museum interested Director Edward Robinson, the trustees, and Conductor Mannes; and such a series was planned. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., has made generous donations to make these evenings possible, as have Robert W. de Forest, Edward S. Harkness, Henry Walters, Arthur Curtiss James, and Michael Friedsam.

Mr. Mannes's programmes have been arranged with the utmost care and have

have relatives in America.

Naturally these refugees think of their relatives here as natural and competent protectors. Some of them have tried to join them in this free country. Those among them who have made their journey as far as the Port of New York have found for the most part an impassable door between them and their kin.

Nothing could illustrate more effectively the stupidity and heartlessness of a law that attempts to deal with a human problem on the basis of arithmetic. The so-called quota law determines the fate of an immigrant, not by the qualities he possesses, but by the percentage already admitted from the country from which
