When a man’s ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to he at peace with him.—Proverbs 16:7. A Board That Failed If the railroad labor board fails to enlist public sympathy and con* fiaence It has no one to blame but its own membership. The bqard’s rulings were first ignored by the railroads, which were permitted to get away with it. Had it forced the railroad owners to obey orders then it might be able to discipline the employes now. But it-didn’t. That’s when the board fell down on the Job. Now the striking employes can defy the board with impunity just as the railroad managers did, and get away with it. These Government agencies must convince the public of their nonpartisan determination to enforce the law, or they won’t get anywhere. And they must do that enforcing with absolute impartiality. The present board does not command general confidence. Hence it can’t be expected to do much toward solving the problem. Rockefeller's Dunes The world’s richest man, John D. Rockefeller went to a circus recently. He laughed at the clowns; fed peanuts to the elephants, applauded the hair-raising acrobatic acts, and bought pink lemonade and “hot dogs.” And he had a great time. The mob that followed John D. Rockefeller about the circus was interested in the dimes he gave to 200 of the fun producers. Observe his system—only one dime to each person, and always a bright, spanking new dime, fresh from the mint. John D. always carries a pocketful of dimes —and never appears in public without distributing some of them. He is rich enough to distribute $5 gold pieces. They, however, would be quickly spent. He is shrewd enough to know that nearly every one would save a dime from the world’s richest man, as a "lucky piece.” In his unique psychological way, Rockefeller is trying to impress the public with the value of the humble dime. Pennies might be hurled back at him in derision. But none except drunken men ever threw away a dime. Probably John D. is like the rest of us, and would spend dollars of time trying to recover a dime lost through a sidewalk grating. Rockefeller learned to handle dimes before he was able to handle dollars. So did Henry Ford, when he was a machinist So did Schwab, when he was a day worker in the steel mills. Comfortable financial independence is a matter of plain old-fashioned thrift, though expanding the modest fortune to a gigantic fortune depends on ability and chance. Key to Greatness? Scientific investigation of the human body’s endocrine glands may answer the baffling mystery of "why so many writers come from Indiana.” Gifted writers usually have abnormally active thyroid glands, with the customary symptoms of hyper-thyroidism—artistic temperament, vivid imagination and the semi-trance that makes life seem a fantastic, unreal dream. Something that stimulates the thyroid probably exists in the air, water or other phase of the climate of Indiana. Each district of the earth produces a characteristic type of people. You observe this emphatically when you see a man from Japan standing beside a man from America. Similarly, you find the people different in various parts of the United States. One section is quick-moving and restless. Another is languid, even indolent. A third is slow-thinking, almost stupid. So it goes, and people move about until they find a district where the inhabitants appeal to them, where they "fit in.” Glandular research may be the key to the reason why certain parts of the earth’s surface produce so many agitators, artists, musicians, Inventors, "dumb-bells,” captains of industry and so on. You have hearcL people say instinctively, “There’s something in the water in that section that doesn't agree with me, makes me feel out of sorts.” In other words, the water does not supply the chemicals necessary to the individual’s peculiar glandular needs. Something in the climate of Japan affects the pituitary gland, producing a race of short people. Farther West, the climate works on pituitary glands to produce the tall Mongolians. Pituitary gland regulates the growth of the skeleton and supporting tissues. Climate, working on pituitaries, is what makes sections notorious for big feet. In the "thyroid belt” around the Great Lakes, women incline to have large necks, with many goiters. Climate, affecting the glands, regulates emotions and intellect as well as body peculiarities. Thus the hot tropical countries are eternally foam ing with revolution. And in the northern countries there is less emotion and more brain. Maybe climatic reaction on glands is why Ohio produces so many Prt sidents. The most interesting angle of all this is that science eventually may supply artificially, in pill form, the brilliancy now supplied by nature according to one’s geographical location.

House Can Impeach President and Senate Authorize Removal

QUESTIONS ANSWERED You can get an answer to any question of fact or information by writing to the Indianapolis Times, Washington Bureau. 1322 New York Ave., Washington, D. C., enclosing 2 cents in stamps. Medical, legal and love and marriage advice will not be given. Unsigned letters will not be answered, but all letters are confidential, and receive personal replies.—Editor.

Q. —How may the President of the United States be removed if he commits a crime or is guilty of acts which render him unfit to be chief executive? A. —He may be impeached by the House of Representatives and removed from office by a trial and two-thirds vote for conviction in the Senate of the United States. * Q. —What were Thomas Jefferson’s views on war? A.—"l abhor war and view it as the greatest scourge of mankind.” Also. “The most successful war seldom pays for Its losses.” Q. —When are the Nobel prizes awarded? Dec. 10. Q. —What is chlorophyll? A.—The green coloring matter of ordinary foliage. Q. —What is the first wedding anniversary? A. —The cotton wedding. Q,—What is carbide? Carbide consists of compounds of carbon and the metals or certain of the metalloids. The name carbides is also applied to compounds of carbon with certain non-metallic elements euch as silicon. The carbide of silicon is a crystalline substance remarkable for its great hardness and used, under the name of carberundum for making Whetstones, polishing cloths, etc. The

1 carbides of non-metalllc elements are not attacked by acids. Q- —Is it possible to tell the sex of an egg? A-—No; according to the poultry division, United States Department of Agriculture, devices advertised for this purpose are pure fakes. Q- —How long do chickens live? A.—Chickens will live to be eight or ten years of age, but commercially the dual purpose breeds (Plymouth Rocks. Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds, Barred Rocks, etc.) are not considered profitatble after the second year and the Leghorns after the third year. Breeders usually keep a number of hens until the fourth or fifth year, because although they do not lay as many eggs as the younger hens, the eggs are much larger and the chicks will be larger and stronger. As the hens get older the egg production decreases. Q. —Has any one ever succeeded in swimming the English Channel? A.—ln 1875 Cs.pt. Matthew Webb, an Englishman, crossed from Dover to Calais in twenty-one hours and thirty-five minutes, actually swimming about thirty-two miles. The second successful attempt to cross the channel was made in September, 1911, by William T. Burgess, an Englishman by birth, but a naturalized Frenchman. 'He swam from South Foreland Dover, to Le Chatelet, a little village two miles east of Capt Griz Neiz, in twenty-two horns, thirty-five minutes, covering about sixty miles.

An answer to the question, who Is secretary of the lowa State Fair? we answered on the authority of the United States Department of Agriculture, John E. Moore, Sioux City. lowa. Mr. Moore is secretary of the Interstate Fair, but A. R. Corey, State House, Des Moines, lowa, is secretary of the lowa State Fair.

Not So Very BY BERTON BRALEY. WHENEVER you hear someone tell That olden times were paradise. He's under a romantic spell. And views the past with logey eyes: Don’t let him pull that stuff, arise And make this fact clear, as you should. In spite of those who eulogize, The Good Old Days were not so good. OUR ancestors were forced to dwell Without the plumbing that we prize; They didn't live so long or well As we, and this you can’t disguise—m Their little babies died like flies Trom causes no one understood. And thus the thinking man implies. The Good Old Days were not so good. SHE laced herself, the ancient belle. Into a corset half her size. And in a faint she often fell: The modern flapper would despise Such weakness, for today she vies With man himself in hardihood — I'd hale to have It otherwise. The Good Old Days were not so good! \ ENVOY. RECALL the past? WeU. I surmise We wouldn’t do It if we could. For. stripped of bunk and rosy lies. The Good Old Days were not so good. (Copyright, 1922, NEA Service.) Fight Wages on Disposition of Oil Resources By a StafT Correspondent. WASHINGTON. July B.—ln a way. the public oil resources are like a bunoh of easy money. Unlike water power, they will not last forever. I Tap them, burn them.;for the power . they will create, and the oil resources are gone. So the proposition is to so conserve and use the oil resources the country now has they will benefit the public greatest. “Let the solid old law of supply and demand govern the development of | oil deposits,” says one faction, headed by Secretary Fall, "drive the best j deal possible for the Government and ! open oil fields to promoters." “Do that, and we'll have no oil in j a generation,” replies the opposition, | headed by Senator Robert M. La Folj lette, "let’s set aside public reserves : and save the oil. We'll need It badly 1 some day.” i However, the Fall faction, having j the upperhand, opens up the public re serves, assuring the La Follette-con-servation crowd that now is the time to drive a good deal for the Government. “When the oil is gone, there’ll be enough shale to last for generations," they tell the La Follette group. True, shale gasoline will cost twice as much,' but that’s inevitable.” The oil in public ownership is estimated by the Bureau of Mines to be 700,000,000 barrels. In addition it is guessed that there are 25,000,000 more barrels In Alaska. But nobody really knows. No wells have been drilled up there as yet, and there may be more and there may be less. Until recently the Government had i three public oil reserves—popularly ! known as “the'naval oil reserves.” ; Two were In California, approximately 40,000 acres. The third was in Wyoming. Those tn California were leased because private concerns on adjoining lands were draining Government reserves via underground seepage. Just this spring, for similar reasons, and the additional one that the Secretary of the Navy Denby now says he prefers to have navy oil stored In tanks at the sea coasts, the Wyoming reserve was leased.

Objects to Plan of Agitators to “Civilize” Broad Ripple

To the Editor: The persons who are ! trying to get Broad Ripple annexed j to Indianapolis say that those persons signing the remonstrance will, if It goes into court, have to pay a big court cost. I would like to say that there is enough money in the treasury | of the remonstrators to pay all the cost, that no one signing the remon- j strance need worry about cost. Those wanting to annex Broad Rip- j pie and the city council that put it ! over say they want to give us tm- ! provements such as gas, water, elec- | trie lights and a paved street, all of i which we have had from two to ten years. It seems as though they think we are backwoods people and heathens ■. and worship idols, and will have to j send missionaries out to civilize us. j We think they are the ones needing i missionaries, for they are the ones j worshipping ldolß, “the almighty dollar,” in their own pockets and don’t care how they get it. Almost all those fighting for annexe j tlon were educated at the township , school at Broad Ripple which we all j i support and now they are trying to | deprive our children of the same priv-1 elego. We can get anything that j money will buy for less than Indiana- j apolis would give It to us and still he out of bondage. The only thing Indianapolis could j give us is a big bunch of debts apd i take away from us our $3,000,000 j worth of taxable property and a town j that has the cleanest record of any town its size In the State. A VOTER. Pardon Our French! The Times is indebted to Madame Louise Marcelot of Indianapolis whose corrections of the French In an article by a Washington correspondent were noted. To the Editor —Jt Is about time for the authorities to punish some of the speeders and drunken automobile drivers on Keystone Ave., northeast of the city. On the Fourth of July I was forced to drive my car into a culvert because of the "road-hogging” tactics of a bunch of drunken men and women. And as they passed they laughed at me! I counted no less than thirty automobiles which were exceeding the speed limit by ten to twenty miles an hour. Something must be dene! A. R. S. To the Editor—ln this day of daredevil stunts and “death defying” exhibitions why doesn't someone try a leap from the top of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument? Years ago.

THE TND.LANAPOLJLIS TIMES

The Referee BY ALBERT APPLE. READERS ' V^""" "l Sex fiction, of the kind that skates on 1 JH thin ice, Is steadily losf'# gaßfL i ts popularity. MagI fV azinea that “play up” \ 'jmg gex find their circulatioh slipping away. Not _ i with lightning speed, of course, but fkst enough to show a decided national tendency. As the pendulum swings back, the public is thinking cleaner thoughts. Interest in the spiritual is increasing. The Topeka (Kan.) State Journal has been printing a weekly serial from the Bible for three months. “It has proved to be the greatest success of any feature we ever printed,” says the Journal's managing editor, Arthur J. Carruth. This has national significance. The Middle West Is the pulse of the nation. COAL Seventy six dollars a ton is paid for coal by the world’s farthest-north hospital, at Point Barrow, Alaska. Yet this coal is mined only 100 miles away. It is hauled to the hospital on dog sledges. Go where you will, cheap transportation bobs up as one of the greatest problems. The system of distribution is in its infancy. VACATION Mrs. Kate Conley for 21 years has been scrubbing floors in the Massachusetts State House. During that time she never had a vacation. Now she gets one, for two weeks, and says she will spend It scrubbing and cooking in her own home, with one day’s outing “at the beach.” As you get this interesting glimpse Into one human life you compare your lot with Kate Conley's. The door closes. ALCOHOL Alcohol may soon be competing with gasoline as auto fuel, according to alcohol manufacturers meeting In Chicago. Cuba is already running autos on pure grain alcohol, paying 23 cents a gallon, against 44 for gasoline. John Barleycorn, long a drug, may come back a decent citizen, generating mechanical power. As to alcohol making cheap fuel, you can bet that Standard OU has foreseen the possibility and Investigated a conquest of alcohol production. Turn where you will, three things are inevitable—death, taxes and Standard Oil. SING BINO In Sing Sing prison a convict distilled much potato hooch. He did a thriving business among fellow prisoners. Discovered, he Is locked up in solitary. But prison officials have been unable to find his still. If bootleggers are cunning enough to make and sell liquor inside prison wallp. is It any wonder It is so hard to curb them outside? There seems to be no limit to human Ingenuity. CAREERS Marriage—the home—is the greatest career a woman can follow. So says Miss Chari O. Williams, president of the National Education Association and vice chairman of the Democratic national committee. Alone, a woman CAn have only one career. Married, she has a career to her credit for each of her children. Men and women never get as much satisfaction out of their own successes as they get out of the success of their children. With parenthood, ambition usually is transferred from* self to offspring.

Don't Think Yon Can Rock Baby to Sleep By Radio

BY PAI L F. GODLEY America’s Foremost Radio Authority If one believes all the stories ho hears about what radio has done or is about to do. It will be very difficult for him to believe that there are things radio cannot do. Radio ’has been charged with doing anything from peeling potatoes to furnishing Jazz music as an inducement for prize chickens to lay eggs. As an ornamental adjunct it has been utilized as a hose supporter, a light weight addition to the night patrolman's club, an automatic folding attachment for wheel chairs on the boardwalk, a delightful charm dangling from a watch chain. Let their be no mistake about it— A radio receiving outfit cannot be depended upon as an infallible meth-

Alaska Awaits Federal Help in Pioneering BY FRANK J. TAYLOR, * Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, July B.—Then there's Alaska! In Washington recently, Governor Scott Bone estimated that $1,000,000,000 had been gleaned from Alaska since it was purchased from Russia for $7,200,00. "And Alaska isn’t scratched yet,” the governor added. Largely undeveloped, mostly public domain, Alaska Still awaits the pioneer who seeks a home. Alaska's trouble seems to have been "too many cooks” and too few real pioneers. Thirty-eight different government bureaus administer Alaska. frequently conflicting in views and provoking deadlocks. And the prospectors, for the most part, who have gone to Alaska have dug out mineral wealth and carried it back to the United States. They didn't settle and they didn’t Invest in Alaska. Some time soon Congress will get around to formulating a permanent policy for Alaska. Forests, unsurveyed expanses of oil fields, coal, copper, gold and other mineral deposits, enormous water power possibilities, fishers and a government owned railroad are among your holdings in Alaska. Three million families can live up there comfortably and prosper at farming alone, the Interior Department estimates. "They’d freeze to death!” you say. “What an idea!” exclaims Governor Bone. "The better part of Alaska is no colder than the state of New York, where 12,000,000 people live without freezing.”

Primary Fight Becomes Major Campaign Issue BY ROBERT J. BENDER United News Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON, July B.—The sudden and concerted drived against the direct primary system gives every assurance of becoming a controversial issue in both major parties. Because of the bitterness already reflected among progressive Republicans at the campaign carried forward by President Harding, members of his Cabinet and many of the elder statesmen of the G. O. P., the Republican National Committee is making for a safe port, entirely out of range of the threatening storm. Conversations with spokesmen for the committee reveal real concern over the anti-primary propaganda developing. They insist that whatever the source, those sponsoring it are speaking as individuals and not for the party Itself. Attitude of Hull But, while there also is a strong element among the so-called “practical politicians” of the Democratic party, as desirious as the like element within the Republican for abolition of the direct primary system, Chairman Hull of the Democratic National Committee plans to put his pai-ty on record aa favoring the primary. While the Republican national committee win rema.n silent, leaving disposition of the primary issue to the several States, progressive elements within that party will continue to fight against the anti-primary movement. Senator Johnson, California, one of the most active exponents of the primary system, sees in the situation grounds for warning the country against the effort by "regular politicians” to * arrogate to themselves” the power that belongs to the people.

GOOD NIGHT! Mayor Shank Is a “knight of the royal court,” the thirty-second degree of the Hoboes Union, but maybe not for long. Jeff Davis, president of the hoboes, said the mayor was "knighted” after he withdrew policemen from guard duty at railroad shops. Now he has declined to address striking shopmen, and the executive council of the hoboes is thinking of kicking him out.

Carbon Gas BY DR. R. H. BISHOP - OU often read of f 62 / some one being ( B M "knocked out” M M or killed by the B a fumes of an au- ,- ■ M tomobll e's exhaust in a closed g&j garage. Such W ot poisoning Is U called carbon ' M monoxide poison- "" li This sort of poisoning is one of the most frequent of industrial accidents. Nor is it always caused by the exhaust fumes of automobiles. Look out for the building having a leaky furnace or chimney or a gas stove without flue connection, suqh as tenement, tailor shop, or boarding house. This warning will bear repeating: Never run your automobile engine in your garage with the door shut! Too many men have been found dead beside a running motor In a closed garage to make that sort of thing safe. Carbon monoxide gas has no color, odor or taste, and so you don’t know when you are being poisoned. The best things to do in case of carbon monoxide poisoning are: 1. Administer oxygen as quickly as poss.ble, preferably from a cylinder of oxygen through an inhaler mask. 2. Remove patient from atmosphere containing carbon monoxide. 3. If breathing is feeble, at once start artificial respiration by the prone posture method. 4. Keep the victim flat, quiet, and warm. 5. Afterward give him plenty of rest.
