Wealth .gotten by vanity shall be diminished; but he that gathereth by labor shall increase. Proverbs 13:11. Helping Europe and Ourselves JAMES M. COX, ex-Govemor of our neighbor on the East, who is touring Europe, says America must act to save the central European nations from dissolution. He is right. If central Europe is allowed to degenerate, the United States will have to take a large part of the permanent loss in diminished world trade and in Europe’s inability to pay her debts. Self-interest, therefore, demands that America help Europe, for in doing so, we shall do no more than help ourselves. The spectacle of the American people idly twiddling their thumbs while Europe continues to breed another war would be tragic even if America were not personally affected by the outcome. But, with American unemployment spreading because foreigners must curtail their purchases of American food stuffs, raw materials and manufactured goods, it is suicidal for this country to let the process of European decay continue. It would be unfortunate if any attempt were made to interpret Mr. Cox’s appeal in a partisan spirit. Mr. Cox, obviously is not trying to embarrass the Republican party, nor to help his own party. He specifically urges that Herbert Hoover represent America on the reparations commission, which holds the key to the European settlement. If American intervention in Europe, under the management of Mr. Hoover were successful, credit would go to the Harding Administration. If Mr. Hoover got into trouble, the Democrats could not point to Republican inefficiency, since the original idea had been suggested by a presidential candidate of their own party. Democrats and Republicans would both have to get behind Mr. Hoover and make his mission succeed. Any attempt by America to carry through a policy of assisting Europe can succeed only if its non-partisan character is maifitained throughout, and is recognized by the world. It is probable that hard blows, in debate with the Europeans, might have to be exchanged. Only a united America could impress Europe with the determination of this country to go through with the job of stabilizing international relations, once the work were undertaken. President Harding can do America and the world a very great service by consulting with ex-Governor Cox about European affairs, with Mr. Hoover to act as their agent in carrying out an American—not a party —policy of reconstruction. The fact of Democratic and Republican leaders acting in concert for world betterment would be in itself an inspiration. The American people are tired of partisan politics being carried beyond the water’s edge. America is the common country of Democrats and Republicans alike. The fact should be made clear to the world by international cooperation between the two parties A Harding-Cox alliance to help put Europe on its feet not only would go far toward restoring general prosperity. It would also speed the return of that era of good feeling in American affairs which has become lost during the domestic confusion of the past months.

The President’s Fool Friends ONE of the hardships of the presidency is that minor—and especially amateur —politicians, are everlastingly “putting the Administration on trial” in purely local fights. California is the latest case in point. Hiram Johnson running in a State primary for renomination to the United States Senate, meets opposition. The opposition selects the issues upon which it will fight the Senator. It chooses two. First that was not loyal in the Hughes campaign and, second, that he has been “in habitual opposition to President Harding’s policies.” Thus while the President is struggling with the coal and rail tie-ups and while he is seeking some way to avert a national disaster next winter, he is put on trial in a great and pivotal State. Johnson cheerfully accepted the issue and won, hands down. Thus the President’s friends engineer a slap at the President more direct than that of any previous State primary.

Belief Prevails That Mammoth Was Exterminated by Mankind

Medical, legal and lore and marriage advice, will not be given. Unsigned letters win not be answered, but all letters are enrCr'—’tial and receive personal replies.—EDlTOß. Q. —What is the mammoth? Does it still exist and where? A. —The mammoth is the best known and one of the most recently extinct of fossil elephants, closely related to the existing Asiatic elephant. It inhaibted central Europe during the glacial and postglacial times. At that time the area cf the present North Sea was forested and thousands of mammoth teeth and bones have been dredged from the sea by fishermen. The mammoth may have originated there and moved eastward for remains have been found throughout Asia, and it then passed on by the then existing land connection into Alaska and North America. Through tradition the word “mammoth” has come to mean some? thing huge, but it is true that this elephant probably did not much exceed in size the elephant of today. One of the largest known examples is that preserved at the Chicago Academy of Science. It Is thirteen feet in height at the shoulder and had tusks nine feet eight inches long. The African elephant has tusks ten feet three and one-half inches in length. The largest mammoth tusks ever measured were two from Alaska, one twelve feet ten inches long, weighing 190 pohnds, and .the other eleven feet long weighing 200 pounds. What caused the disappearance of the mammoth has never been satisfactorily explained. Judging by the remains the mammoth must have been very numerous. It is probable that the extermination of this animal was due to the war upon it by man. Q. —When was wheat first cultivated and where? Was it grown in America before Columbus’ discovery? A.—The original home of wheat is unknown but evidence seems to indicate that it is probably a native of western Asia. Cultivation antedates history, as the most ancient monuments show that at their erection it

had been domesticated, Ancient Greeks and Egyptians attribute its origin to some of their deities, among them Demeter (Latin Ceres), goddess of agriculture. It was cultivated as early as the Stone Age by the lake dwellers of Switzerland and In China, where it was considered a direct gift of heaven, it was grown 2,700 years before the Christian era. It was not grown in America prior to Columbus’ discovery.. Q. —What was the name* of the Queen of Sheba? A.—This is not known, though the Abyssinians (whose rulers claim descent from a son of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba) have a tradition that it was Makeda. Q. —How many children have King George and Queen Mary of England? A.—Six, of whom five are living. Q. —How many signers of the Declaration of Independence wore Masons and how many Roman Catholics? A.—Five Masons: Benjamin Franklin. John Hancock, William Hooper, Philip Livingston and Thomas Nelson Jr. One Roman Catholic, Charles Carroll of Carrollton. Q. —Which State pays its Governor the highest salary? A.—lllinois —sl2,ooo a year. Q- —To what period does the statue of the Venus de Milo belong? A.—lt is said to belong to the Hellenistic period, the last half of the second or the first century B. C. LEARN A WORD TODAY Today’s word Is—CONDIGN. It’s pronounced—kon-dine, with accent on the second syllable. It means—worthy, suitable, deserving, fit. It’s from—Latin "condignus,” very worthy. It’s used like this—“ Condign punishment is threatened by New York officials upon aviators who fly too close to the city’s housetops.”

HARDING BESET WITH PROBLEMS WHICH IBRITIATE Multitude of Questions That Must Be Answered Cause Joys to Fade. POSITION NOT ENVIABLE Wanting to Do Right Thing and Satisfying Public Are Different. Editor’s Note—Psychologically President Harding today offers one of the most interesting studies in the country. Beset by all sorts of difficulties, torn between his patriotic duty and his political debts, face to face with the certain knowledge that his popularity is on the wane. Is ha happy? The Times will find it a mighty interesting study. By N. D. COCHRAN, Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.—Warren G. Harding is President. We all know that. But is he happy? That's something we don't know. We have to guess at it. My guess is that he isn’t happy—and I think that is because I can’t see how he can be. Harding is called the first citizen of the Republic. Imagine all that goes with the job, by way of eminence, power and all that —yet he is still a human being, and as much the plaything of his own emotions as any of us. Must Think When Alone He can be careful in what he says aloud. He can so as to appear to be all that hit? thinks a President is expected to be. But he can’t help thinking when he's alone. And what we think when we're alone—what we think of ourselves and our job—is something we can't get away from. The wiser a man is the harder he finds it to fool himself. He may look any part he Is picked to play, but can he think it? It is often said that our President has mo-e power than the King of England. That may be true, but what a President actually can do is lim ited. The most potent influences are political debts incurred in getting the job. Constitutional limits to his power wouldn't bother him. So a President can't run the Government as he would a private business. He must submit to the judgment of the party managers. Large contributors to party campaign fund want their money’s worth. Many want special privileges. Demands That Are Made To Illustrate, coal operators might want the Government to keep Its hands off while they bring on a strike, ; cieate a sellers' market and rob the people outrageously. Big bankers in control of railroads anil vast Industrial concerns may want the Govern- j -nent to help them crush trades unionism. Some want t'nelr friends made Federal judges. Others want underlings in positions to grant taxation favors. A few may want only .the honor that goes with a d.plomat’n appointment. These are debts a pai-tlsan President is expected to pay. A President, may plunge head over heels Into political debt, but once he enters the White House he begins to think of his place in history. He wants to serve his country. He would really like to do the right thing— and just what is the right thing to do becomes almighty perplexing when he begins to think the part. Evidence of Sincerity Did you read President Harding’s strike message to Congress? If you read it thoughtfully you probably saw in it the sincere effort of a man trying to be honest with himself and his country, though painfully conscious all the way through of what the political creditors of his party thought they had a right to expect—and which he couldn't conscientiously give. How can any man of any party be President under such circumstances and be happy?

The maintenance division of the State highway commission soon will start surfacing approximately nine miles of State road No. 4 between Haysville and Crystal, according to announcement by John D. Williams, department director. The commission has not decided upon the type of surface to be employed. State road 4 crosses the southern part of the State and leads from the Indiana-Ohio State line through Lawrenceburg, Aurora, Versailles. North Vernon, Seymour, Brownstown and connects at Bedford with No. 1 or the Range line road. From that city it continues west and south to Evansville. It serves a great volume of east and west traffic across southern Indiana.

Newly Discovered Planet Named ‘HooveHa ’ by Vienna Astronomer

By NEA Service VIENNA, Aug. 31.—Herbert Hoover is the chief topic of conversation in Vienna. Eyen the deprec.ation of the Austrian crown has been forgotten in the discuss.on over the action of Professor Palisa, famous astronomer, in naming the new planet he discovered March 23. 1920, after the American Secretary of Commerce. “Hooveria” is the name given the new planet. The Academic Senate has unanimously approved the choice and Professor Heihl of the Imperial and Royal University of Vienna has advised Hoover of the honor bestowed upon him. Case gossipers welcome it; they think It means Hoover—whom they regard as Austria's meal ticke:—will show his gratitude by shipping over a few cargoes of food. Prof. Karl Allbrayns, leader of a radical group of sc.entists, is among the few who scoff at the honor paid Hoover. “I expect to file a protest with the Academio Senate,” said Professor

Utilization of Niagara Power Resources Suggested to Combat the Coal Shortage

By BARRY B. HURT Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.—A combination of three of the largest industrial interests in America to develop the power* resources of the St. Lawrence River, has been given such impetus by the fuel and transportation crisis that immediate steps to harness approximately 1,000,000 horsepower of new hydro electrio energy for ‘New York and the New England States are believed certain. The interests behind the proposed development, as known in Washington where negotiations for the necessary power permits have been under way are: The General Electric Company; the Aluminum Company of America and the Du Ponts. Applications for permits, however, are made in the names of the Louisville Power Corporation and the St. Lawrence Transmission Corporation. Following the completion of the project it is intended to mergi the two concerns under the name of The Frontier Power Corporation. On the basis of estimates submitted here, not less thaJn $200,000 000 will

HEADACHE By DR. R. U. BISHOP

1

RE you one of the

many sufferers from occasional headaches? If you are, remove the cause, don’t just be satisfied with temporary relief. A headache Is likely to be traceable to something eaten or drunk In the preceding

twenty-four or thirty-six hours. Digestive disturbances almost immediately make themselves known thus. Headache may come also from defective eyes or teeth, sluggish action of the liver, irritation of the nasal cavities or high blood pressure. It is always best to find the source of the trouble first; then attempt a cure. Don’t put your faith In headache remedies. Usually they cohtain powerful heart depressants, bringing only temporary relief and, In the end, weakening the heart action. A headache should be considered a danger signal. Stop—look into your physical condition, find out what part needs building up. If every one would do this, how many ijls could be prevented. Children frequently suffer from headaches caused by defective eyes Sometimes the defect makes the child backward in school. In such cases p competent physician should he consulted. Often the mistake is made of thinking the eyes are all right simply because it’s possible to see well. Nevertheless the headache may be due to eyestrain. The nose also contributes Ks share of headaches. Most people know the feeling of being “ay stuffed up.’’ To make sure of the headache source and to guard against serious developments, see your physician and act accordingly.

THE REFEREE By ALBERT APPLE RUM RUNNERS ’ John D. Appleby, head prohibition agent J in the Now York disfWL trict, tells amazing \ Hjfif facts about rum-run--1 \ tiers’ profits. LAy Forty cases of rye L.J M rs whisky, the regulation APPLE load for a hooch-smug-gler's airplane, cost $1,200 In Canada. Landed In New York, the cargo sells for $4,000. The pilot’s rake-off is ?EOO, leaving a “handsome proflt” for the head of the business. Those profits, diverted to Uncle Sam by income tax or otherwise, would soon make a hole !n the national debt. But there's no way to check up a bootlegger’s Income any more than a burglar’s. VOICES Every language and dialect spoken in the world is being recorded on copper phonograph discs In Berlin by Prof. William Doegen. He says the records will last 10,000 years. If they do, and are played In the year 11922, will any one except schol•irs be able to understand them? Ten thousand years from now speech may be a lost art, with people conversing by mental telepathy. CHICKENS How many eggs do you eat? Department of agriculture says the average American eats only half an egg a day. It advises us to eat more henfruit, the cleanest food that reaches consumers—also the most nourishing, taken raw or coddled. The department adds statistics showing that our national debt is one dollar for each egg laid by all American hens so far this year. Let that sink in and we are not apt to refer to billions so glibly.

I do not wish to be hypercritical, but it seems to me he should have worked up to it, step by step “What are we to expect—Hoover consorting with such old established planets as Jupiter, Venus, Mars, Neptune and the others? Perhaps he will put Venus on a food ration so she doesn’t get fat! “Or this American wonder man may persuade Old Man Mars to join the League of Nations and quit cutting up war capers!” Some of Professor Allbrayns’ facetious followers are writing letters to the papers Warning against “Hooverizing” the solar system. Professor Pai sa, who is credited with the discovery of a number of the minor planets is ignoring the jests and criticism. He said he named the new planet “Hooveria” In honor of “a man who deserves much consideration on the part of our fatherland,”

Costs Would Be Less These interests already control a considerable part of the power developed at Nigara Falls. The new plan provides for Increased installations there to bring the total available for use in the United States up to the limit possible under present treaties with Canada—slß,ooo horsepowei\ This would make about 400,000 horsepower from Niagara available for diversion to New York. It is estimated that the St. Lawrence project, as proposed, will develop about 600,000 kilowatts. The cost o* the Niagara power, delivered at Paterson, N. J., is estimated at 5.7 mills per kilowatt hour. Power from the St. Lawrence plants, delivered at Utica and Schenectady, would cost at those points about 4.6 per kilowatt hour. From those distributing centers, transmission lines would carry it at a slightly higher price to New England load centers.

Public Torture of Chinese Deserters Viewed by Indianapolis Man in Canton

To the Editor of The. Times An important part of the present revolt In China now centers about Canton. Canton is the home of Dr. Sun Yat Sen and practically the seat of his government. It is an ancient Chinese city of perhaps two millions population. Its age is exceeded only by its filth, stench and noise and the beauty of the things made there —silks, carvings in wood and ivory, Inlays and weavings. I went there to seo the old city and buy a few of the beautiful things manufactured. The night boat from Hong-Kong arrives early in the morning. As the boat pulled into the wharf It passed the warships of several nations. They lay in the river ready to protect the interests of the several nationals. The very first flag to groet the eye was the stars and stripes on a motor launch. Some of the Chinese gunboats lay there too. and Dr. Sen Yat Sen himself had taken refuge In one of them. A wide street known as a bund runs along the waterfront. It is the only wide street In Canton. The others are narrow and crooked and barricaded at every turn with bamboo gates that m p.ht embarrass, but not obstruct, the passage of an army. The widest is scarcely more than ten feet broad.

Loew’s State to Reopen Saturday With Rudolph Valentino in ‘Blood and Sand ’

Loew's State Theater, after being closed for some weeks, will open Saturday afternoon with Rudolph Valentino in “Blood and Sand.” a Paramount picture. The house Is being rushed into order and will be in perfect order by the time of the opening. Herb Jennings again will be manager of the house. Two vastly different types of women portray two different types of af faction in “Blood and Sand.” Rudolph Valentino's Initial Paramount star picture. Lila Lee. youthful and Ingenuous. evinces a love sweet and tender, while Nlta Naidl, colorful and exotic, sweeps everything away with a volcanic, tempestuous rush of romance. The love of Rudolph Valentino for these women provides a series of interesting sequences in the Vicente Blasco Ibanez's story of Spanish life which June Mathis has adapted for the screen. As Mr. Valentino has an International reputation as a perfect love-maker, the romantic episodes bid fair to bo even more popular than the sensational, colorful periods laid before wild bulls in the Madrid bull ring, where "Juan Gallardo’’ Is a famous bull-fighter. •I-!- •!• Musical Show Opens Season “For Goodness Sake" will open the regular season at the Murat Monday afternoon.

What this power would mean now in relieving the situation resulting from non-production of coal and delays in transportation is Indicated by the estirqate that this St. Lawrence power, delivered In New England, would displace 2,234,000 tons of coal, yearly. The 300,000 kilowatts of Niagara power in New York would mean a saving of 1,204,000 tons of coal In New York power plants. In addition, there would be a saving of several hundred thousand tons of coal consumed by the railroads In carrying this fuel to New England and New York, and nearly 3,500,000 tons of shipping would be freed for other commercial uses. Consider Electrification Pinch of fuel and freight conditions and the coal shortage have caused also a number of railways to consider seriously future electrification of their lines. No general electrification of eastern railways is likely, Federal power commission experts believe, although short

Up this street marched part of the Chinese army, most of it in double file. This is the only way they could pass through the Canton streets. There was no way of telling what was going on. Some companies carried hogs drugged with aniseed for food. They were to be seen here and there throughout the city at intervals all day. About 4 o’clock In the afternoon I learned that the army was hunting deserters. Our company came down the bund and halted immediately in front of the pier at which our boat was anchored. Two men were brought forth and chained to a telegraph pole with a log chain big enough to hold our ship. It was fastened about their necks with a padlock. A guard of one soldier was posted and a proclamation in Chinese was posted on the pole above their heads. The company then marched away, leaving them in the blazing sun, surrounded by a crowd of curious Chinese who were trying to read the proclamation. 1 got hold of an interpreter at once, i This is how he translated the proclaj mation. in substance; “These two soli dlers.

lines may be profitably electrified near a few of the larger cities. On certain lines in the West, however, early and additional electrification now seems certain. Among the roads seriously taking up the problems are: The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, the Union Pacific, the Santa Fe, the Great Northern and the Denver & Rio Grande. The C., M. & St. P. is now operating electrically through part of Montana and Washington. The Great Northern is planning denitely on electrification of certain divisions within two years. In addition to fuel savings there is a tremendous saving in operating expense. The electric locomotive needs a minimum of minor repairs, whereas the steam engine requires laying up, having fires pulled, grates cleaned and tubes inspected at the end of each division —usually about each 100 miles. With electric engines, the numbers of division points can be reduced and roundhouse cleaners and hustlers cut in half.

Chinese Republic. They are therefore sentenced to this pole for two days without food or water and at the end of that time to be shot at the public execution grounds.” It was signed by the commander. The history of Canton with the history of China goes back more than 7,000 years. The fears and superstitions, the conventions and practices of ancient times have governed them during all that time. Now, though they are fighting to make anew China, free from the influences that have enslaved her for so long a time, they have not forgotten the cruelty of a day long s.nce past. If the penalty for desertion was death, they should have been shot right away or treated humanely pending execution. I had had a drink just an hour before, yet I was thisty; and the thought of these deserters sitting in the sun for two whole days and nights made it worse. They were scarcely 18 years of age and probably did not know the nature of their offense. There was nothing, however, to be done. So I finished my buying and the last thing I saw was those two men chained to that telegraph pole on the waterfront, waiting for their doom. WALTER MYERS. Canton, China.

LODGE'S BUTTLE HOLDS INTEREST IF BHSIIITEHS Massachusetts Leaders Expect Biggest Political Event in Many Years. OUTCOME IS DOUBTFUL Opposition to Administration’s Strike Policy May Affect Final Tally. By United Prest BOSTON, Augr. 31.—With the State primaries only two weeks away Massachus etts’ political cauldron was bubbling merrily for what is expected to be the greatest battle of ballots in years Sept. 12. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge’s fight for renomination easily stands out as the big event. His nomination papers were signed by 60,000 voters, a record for the State. Opposing him for the legislature, whose platform includes the League of Nations, prohibition and the Newbury case. Asa result of much criticism of the administration’s method of handling the rail and coal strikes situation, there is an undercurrent of speculation as to whether some voters will seek to show their displeasure by vot* ing against Lodge. Oppose Harding Attitude President Harding’s address to Congress on the strike situation received much unfavorable comment here, even in the Republican press. During the hot weather the every-day-citizen worried little about his coal supply for next winter, but with warnings from State and Federal officials of a certain shortage, that same citizen is beginning to cast about for someone to blame for the situation. In the Democratic ranks Sherman L. W hippie, a nationally known lawyer, is waging an aggressive campaign for nomination for the United States Senate. W hippie has the full support of Mayor James M. Curley’s city machine, a formidable weapon. Col. William A. Gaston, another prominent Democrat, will contest with Whipple for the senatorial nomination. Wage Spiritual Campaign Former Governor Samuel W. McCall, who it was feared for a time might enter the senatorial race as an independent Republican, failed to file nomir ation papers. The fight between Governor Channing .1. t.ox. who seeks renomination, and Attorney General J. Weston Allen takes second place in the interest of the voters. Allen is campaigning on his achie\ ements in driving corrupt State officials from office. With the exception of the place for secretary of State, there will be Republican and Democratic contests for every office on the ballot.
