Behold, how good and how pleasant It ls for brethren to' dwell together in unlty!—Psaims 133:1. Preserving Vision . . ISTTER Vision,” subject of n talk by R. C. Augusfl tino of Decatur, 111- presldent emeritus of thè American Optometric Association, given for thè benefit of Indianapolis school children and industriai workers, isindeed a timely subjecL For many years people did not realize that to face thè light while reading or working was injurious to thè e/es, and many school children and office and factory wèrkers were compelled to slt facing a window while working. "Oftentlmes. too, artlfldal llghts are placed so far fréni thè person’s work that thè eyes are put under a decided stralli. In this age of motlon plctures and fast moving vehicles, where thè eyes are forced to comprehend objects rapldly from thè automobile or thè car window. thè eyes are exerclsed beyond thè apprehension of folks who lived In thè slow-moving days of our forefathers. It seems that more and more is being required or thè delicate muscles of thè eyes, and it behooves usto take every precautlon to care for our eyesight, thè most lmportant of our flve pbyslcal senses. Anything addlng to thè educatlon of thè publlc on so essential a matter as preserving sight should receive every encouragement Life’s Responsibility rrsHE freedom from financial responsibility of thè X wife who leads a carefree lise may be her greatest liability if by chance she is divorced or widowed and forced to “tight life’s battles alone,” Judging from a note left by thè wife of a Chicago business man when she committed suicide. The girl who has always made her own way in thè world is used to thè hardships and takes them as a matter of course, butto thè woman who has led a chiffon lise it is worse than death to battle for herself. Perhaps it would be wise for those wlves who are sheltered and protected to step out into thè more serious world occasionali, learn thè ups and downs, and become accustomed to thè environment 60 that it will not seem so terrible to them when they are forced to become a part of it themselves. Many already do this by going into Stores and factories doing social relief work, or taking up some line of business to which they can devote thelr attentimi. It is to be regretted that it ever becomes necessary for women to enter thè commercial world, as their naturai abode is thè home, thè cares of which, no matter how strenuous, seem to be to their liking. Moody Is Moody wOHN Moody, business expert, feels moody. He sees J another period of deflation coming late next year. That is, unless farmers get better prices. Present national prosperity, as Moody sees it, is not well balanced. The farmer’s purchasing power is lesa than before thè war. while city people’s income averages higher. Until thè two become better balanced, Moody doesn t see how there can be a smooth and bigscale exchange of products between city and farm. Sounds sensible. Equilibrium will come. To make prosperity last, economists Bay, thè farmer must get a bigger share of thè nation’s income. Otherwise he can’t buy much, which automatically curbs sales of city-made products. So it’s good newß, from thè government, that thè farmer’s normal buying power is being restored to him. A long way to go yet but thè twelve leading crope at present grìces are worth nearly $1,300,000,000 more than thè same crops a year ago.

A Volunteer Hangman yN these days when complaints are heard on all sides 1 that professious and trades are overcrowded lt ls refreshing to flnd a line ol human endeavor in which no destructive competition has developed. An offerto act as hangman recently was received from a New Jersey man by thè Illinois judge who is trying thè “Herrin massacro - ' cases. The applicant gives thè warden of a New Jersey pri6on as reference his skill and experience. Apparently he is a believer in thè doctrlne of getting on thè Job early, for thè jury which will try thè case has not been selected. However, it ls not llkely that there will be any great stampede of applicants. From thè dawn of history there is no record of thè professlon of executloner becoming so popular that it was necessary to organize its members into unlons or to pass laws regulating thelr activities. Recognizing American Talent npHINGS do happen in thè families of ordinary men A sometimes. About a year ago. 14-year old Marion Tally was one of thè many students in a Kansas City music school. Today she has a voice recognized by critica as really great. Things began to happen when a critic on thè Kansas City Star attended her commencement exercises and heard her sing. Then a benefit was given and SIO,OOO was raised to further her education. Marion was taken to New York, where sho sang before probably thè greatest music critics In thè country. They acknowledged that they had discovered an American vocal prodigy. Her father is a telegraph operator and lt was hard for her parents to send her to school. Now she has begun studying in New York. It seems that now native genius wins recosrnition as quickly as genius imported from abroad. With mora great American artists, probably we won’t always havo opera programs that read like an Italian menu. Whose Ox ls Gored WHEN Senator Bob La Follette criticises thè Supreme Court for throwing out thè child labor law as unconstitutional and proposes a congressional “review of decisions,” thè whole conservative constitutionalist group has thè shivers and branda La Follette as a dangerous radicai theorist. But when thè big and wealthy shippers of California come to Washington and proceed to overturn a recent decision of thè same Supreme Court affecting their interests, that’s something entirely different. Oh. very, very different. The cause involved in thè Southern Paciflc-Central Pacific “unmerging, - ’ now being heard before thè Interstate Commerce Commission, is of very reai interest to thè entire country. "The Paciflo Railroad,’' built in ’69 with Uncle Sam’s money, included thè Central Pacific from Ogden to San Francisco, but for years this line has been contnolled by thè Southern Paciflo. which traverses Cali-

forni from end to end and goes east via Portland on thè north and E 1 Paso on thè south. In 1921 thè Supreme Court held that thè S. P. control of thè C. P. “is in violation of thè Sherman antitrust act of 1890” and therefore thè lines must be unmerged. This decision seemed to particularly please thè Union Pacific, which owns thè Salt Lake-San Pedro lino running southw r est from Salt Lake to Los Angeles. The U. P. folks seemed to think that thè decision might enable them to secure possession of thè C. P. in some way and thus ultimately take thè control of thè Pacific Coast railroad situation out of thè hands of thè S. P. But thè same decision which pleased thè Union Pacific so much and which has caused its owners to be so strong “for upbuilding thè Supreme Court” has caused profound sorrow in thè Southern Pacific camp and these agree with Mr. La Folletto that there oughf to be some way “to review decisions of thè Supreme Court.” At least, that is thè viewpoint of thè 250 big shippers of northern and centrai California who are in Washington, headed by E. O. Edgerton, late president of thè California railroad eommission, seeking to overturn thè Supreme Court decision ordering thè S. P--C. P. “unmerger.” What’s thè Constitution among friends?

Letters to thè Editor

OFTEN WHIPPED ARE MEANEST. To thè Editor of The Times: I would like to know- if it is right that there is a law against assault and battery on adults who might get even, and not against poor helples3 children who have no way to defend themselves. Grown-up children cannot be driven to do a thing, neither can children without ruining them. The children who are whipped thè most are thè meanest and those who are loved and reasoned with are much more agreeable. I say have a law against corporal punishment. A FRIEND OF CHILDREN. OVERUSE OF ROD IS WRONG. To thè Editor of The Times: I am in my 63d year, yet have never trled to break into public print, but this time I shall. If all thè children that were, are and shall be were living around thè throne of God in heaven, it would then be very practical to do away with thè punlshtng of children by their parents, but here where our parents conceive and givo us lise in sin, and where thè iniquity of thè fathers is visited upon thè children unto thè third and fourth generation it ts absolutely impracticable. What we sow we shall reap—well, thè harvest time generally means tears, sorrow, suffering. This was God’a pian according to his word, so why attempt to abridge, obliterate or set aside? Solomon, thè wisest, said, “Spare thè rod and spoii thè chlld." I w-as an orphan boy and God knows I know what abuse means. I was bound out Avo different tiraes. I have been- beaten with everything they could lay hold of, and sometimes a large hob-nailed boot with a foot In it. The fear of punishment in all klnds of iniquity is thè only safeguard we have to keep everybody and everything from going to thè devii. Please do not destroy what inorai status we have. If thè golden rule prevailed and thè doctrine of love had full swav, then there would be no need of punisbing thè children or any one else. Mrs. R, C. Perkins’ proposition to do away with child punishment is illoglcal, lrrational and destructive, as long as thè world is govemed and actuated by conditlonß that exist today. So in spite of rny experlence, I favor not doing away with punishment. It is not thè use of thè rod that is wrong, but its overuse. JAMES B. WRIGHT.

Permit Usto Say Suppose you were thè Sultan of Turkey? Ho is away from home and 300 wives running up bills on him. YHiat this country needs is pipes that will stay Ilt without puffing. * They threaten to broadcast grand opera in German, but thiß threat won’t make us cancel thè debt It is estimated cigarettes havo bumed one billion holes In shirts. The last rose of summer has gone, but thè last nose of thè rummer is yet to come. Ishii is to be made Japanese ambassador to thè United States, maybe. Aw, Ishii? Women never will be men’s equals until mcn object to being kissed. A fourflusher is a man who is always shown up at a showdown. A self-made man usually is a man who selected a wife that made him work. Your luck may be bad, but ir St. Louis a man’s wife is worth $400,000 and she is suing for divorce. Rumors travet so fast becauso all rumors are wild nunors. TOM SIMS.
