MAKING "Y'T suc^l ?reat men as Napoleon and Henry HISTORY \/\/ Ford insist history is all bunk, how is a mere TO ORDEtf ff educator to know what to teach the children? An investigation by Mayor Hylan of New York resulted in a number of histories being condemned as not presenting facts in the proper light. • Now it .has been discovered one of these very same books was submitted by the publishers for use in Indiana high schools. Frank Henley, adjutant of the American Legion in Indiana, declares this book contains radical doctrines aAd propaganda. Napoleon once said history is only a myth agreed upon. It begins to appear he was right. The principal question now is who will do the agreeing. History at best is a matter of opinion. The historian writes his own ideas into his histories. If he believes the Mexican war was a land-grabbing conquest he is very likely to permit this opinion to creep into his book. It is probalie no history ever was written that was satisfactory to every one. Historians must select the things to which they will give prominence and the things to be left out. For this reason a group of a dozen men could not write a history agreeable in every particular to all and for the same reason no similar group could select a history universally satisfactory. HUGHES, XE hundred years ago James Kent, “father OAKS AND I lof American jurisprudence” and author of ACORNS V-*/ the famous commentaries, reached the age of 60, was retired as chief justice of New 1 ork, and joined the faculty of Columbia University. Secretary of State-Hughes, principal speaker at the Kent centennial celebration at Columbia, used the occasion to boost once again America's entry into the permanent court of international justice, over which the Republican party seems inclined to split. “If controversies over legal rights are to be determined peacefully,’ he said, “there must be a tribunal to determine them. This is as true. I may say. in international as well as in national affairs. * * * We should do all in our power to secure provition for the peaceful settlement of international disputes by the establishment of a permanent tribunal of international justice. “Our particular interests as a nation require it in order to give more adequate protection to our own rights; the interests of world peace demand it.” “There are those.” the secretary went on. “who say that we should perfect international law before we have permanent ?ourt of international justice. * * * If Kent had been compelled to wait for a complete American system of equity jurisprudence before a court of equity was set up to which he could give his abilities, the equity of our jurisprudence would have been impossible. “A permanent international tribunal can accomplish for. international law’ in a large measure what Kent, and the judges who have followed him. have achieved for the equity jurisprudence of the United States.” In short, the mighty oak was once an acorn. The Secretary of State does well to remind critics of the court that while they are generally the very ones who clamor loudest for peace, they are also generally to be found up on their hind legs opposing all things and sundry which might lead to peace.

That is why, recently recaptured .after jail break and flight to Central America, she now 'is lodged in San Quentin penitentiary under a ten-year to life sentence for slaying the young widow she suspected of intimacy with her husband, Armour Phillips, oil salesman. The “tigress’’ could not sheathe her claws even in flight.

JOE B.'.i '-!HO CONFERENCE IN CHILE IS BOOMERANG 'Nice Time Was Had by All,' but Nothing Was Ac r complished, By CHARLES P. STEWART NEA Service Writer T ASHINGTON. June s.—The Pan-American conference at T Santiago, Chile. recently, passe'l off very pleasantly. Which means that it didn't arcom plish anything. It wouldn't have been so pleasant if the Latiu-American delegates had said what they thought. • Their newspapers are saying it now According to La Pr-enst of Buenos Aires, lending Latin -American daily, the most important proposition on the conference program was formation of a "league of American nations'’; th second jn importance was armament limitation. The league was Uruguay's scheme. The North American delegates sensed that all the others were against it and sat on the suggestion before it had been more than barely mentioned. The United Stales was back of the. armament limitation plan. In proposing it. says La Prensa, "the United States committed a mis take which was one more result of the lack of reliable information concerning events in this part of the American continent.” In fact. La Prensa asserts, the very advocacy, by the United States, of Argentine participation In a pian to limit the latter's military strength, at the suite time that American officers are helping Brazil to strengthen her navy, ‘‘must result in influencing both these countries to encourage militarism and to endanger peace." Argentina is the republic which resents Brazil's activities most, but the others don't like them, either, and the Brazilians themselves recognize it. "The. whole South American press." says the important Jornal do Brazil, "has ranged itself unanimously against us. Even Uruguay, our traditional friend, has joined the current of hostility against Brazil.” Boy Dies of Bums By Timex Special LAFAYETTE, rnd..

Joe Bocehio. 24, Italian poet end mechanic, sits in his cell in the death row at New Orleans parish prison here, awaiting the hangman's com ing. But his thoughts are net of himself. Twice the courts have decreed he must die. He protests his innocence, but accepts his fate phiiosophi tally. Thinking of others day after day. he bends over his blue prints, working on an invention which he believes will be a blessing to humanity In this great mechanical age. Circumstantial Evidence Bocehio and five other Italians soon must pay the penalty the State exacts for the murder of Dallas Calmes. restaurateur of Independence. La. They were convicted on purely circumstantial evidence. Intervention by the Federal Supreme Court is all that can save them now. Joe contends he never was In Independence. He maintains: That neither he nor his five com panions we*e there on the night Calmes was slain while attempting to rout bandits looting a bank near his lunchroom.

Bocehio confided his secret of an electric motor upon which he worked two years prior to his arrest Regarding it only as another sly move on tha part of a condemneu man to gain sympathy.

‘The Middle of the Road’ Leaves Civilization’s Hope Unanswered

By HERBERT QUICK. IN his new novel, “The Middle of the Road." Sir Philip Gihhs has thrown on the screen a picture of the condition of Europe, and at the same inie has given us a ncvel of exceptional interest. And it seems to me that this is paying the book a very high compliment. The reader gets from It a conception of the way England was all shot to pieces by the war. The chief character of the book hs half Irish, half English, and unwilling to go with his aristocratic wife and her people, with the Sinn Fein, or with his bitterly anti-Irish father. He wants. In an insane world, to walk the sang way, between crazed Right and the crazed Left, in the middle of the road. And then the tragic plight of Ireland is shown One feels after reading if he nas made a visit to Ireland and found out something of the reason why the Irish are murdering each other and calling the murders “executions.” The hero Is sent to France, and one gets from his studies of the common people of France the explanation of

Leaving her victim horridly mutilated Mrs. Caffee to drive away with her in the auto by which Alberta had gone to her doom. Then, as the convicting jury heard the grewsome tale. Mrs. Phillips threatened to kill her companion if she told, confessed the crime to Phillips. was by him put aboard a train and next day arrested in Arizona. She was convicted on a compromise verdict and sentenced under the California Indeterminate law.

By FRANK J. TAYLOR Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, June s.—Can Henry Ford be I'resident? First, can Henry keep his peace for a whole year? Or, if he can’t, can he avoid “pulling a political boner?” Politicians now take the Ford political boom seriously. They recognize Ford as an outstanding figure in the public eye. Some draw a parallel between Henry Ford of 1923 and Herbert Hoover of 1919. Hoover deflated his amazing boom with one word, “Yes,” to those who wanted him Republican candidate in the California primaries. Some Curious Angles There are some curious angles tQ this Ford boom For instance, who or what started it? Independents and progressives say It Is a spontaneous outburst of popular sentiment. Practical who don’t believe in fairies in politics, deny it is spontaneous. Those who know Henry Ford intimately concur. They say he was stung ly the presidential bee back in 1916. They recall 1916 as Henry’s “year of interviews.” It was then the humble motor manufacturer first awoke so his power as a publicist. He talked on anything and everything. It was Mrs. Ford and Jim Couzens, pal of Ford and now Senator from Michigan, who first realized the interviewers were making Henry seem "peculiar” in the public eye. They conspired to get him away to California. They kept him out of the cities and away from newspaper reporters for a year. Studied Politics When Henry returned, he was another man. very cautious. He began the study of politics and publicity, as he previously had studied industry and business. Management of his factories he turned over to his son, Edsel. Since tha' time in his naive way, Henry has been “playing" first ’one

By C. A. RANDAU. Governor Smith has signed the bill repealing the New York State prohibition enforcement act. As it was within the power of the Legislature and the executive to create this law. so was it also within their power to withdraw it. That's the gist of the hectic doings at Albany. There is no question of treason" or “secession." Though these words flow easily from the lips of fanatics, they find no application to Governor Smith's action. Neither is there justification for the excited enthusiasm of the wets. It is a long, long way from the repeal of the New York law to light wines and beer. That he would be damned if he did and damned if he didn't, was Governor Smith s comment when he was still considering his disposition of the repealer. Regardless of the accuracy of this forecast, there can be little doubt that thinking men and women everywhere will at least give ‘Al’ Smith hts due as an honest and courageous man. The country has become accustomed to public men in high places casting their votes for dry measures and at the same time adding to the stocks of liquor in their cellars. That th° Governor of the most populous State In the Union departs from this practice is an indication double dealing is not necessarily part cf a statesman's business.

why they stand back of a government which would rather keep Germany weak than allow her to get strong enough to pay reparations. They look for another war. "Wars always come, and they always will.” French fatalism! And in Germany. Bertram Pollard jeeps into the psychology of the Germans. One comes to believe if some more lenient treatment had been accorded them, they might have been drawn into something like brother hood; and also the French have now embittered them for who knows how long, so as to make fraternity impossible. In this book one finds a fearful picture of the famine In Russia and an appreciative description of the work of the American Relief Expedition. And then after all his troubles, the story of the loves, hates and entanglements comes to an end which is full of hope for the chief characters. Whether there is hope for civilization is the problem propounded by the book itself. And left unanswered!

It was while in the Los Angeles county jail awaiting decision on ap peal that Clara escaped in December through sawed cell bars from solitary confinement, scaled the roof, gained the street and was whisked away by confederates, remained hidden in the city for several weeks, reached New Orleans in disguise and with Carsen and her sister sought refuge in. Central America. The nature of the crime, her escape. the drama of a 10,000-mile chase, the election of her younger sister to share Clara’s flight and fate, her reported near success in vamping her tvay to release in Tegucigalpa, the suspense inherent in extradition proceedings—all these give the case all the elements of a criminal classic.

publicity medium and then another. He has managed to keep on the front page of some of the newspapers most of the time. This was not hard, in view of th<l fact that some 590 people a month drop off the train at Detroit for the sole purpose of seeing Henry Ford, and most of them are reporters. So Henry could pick and choose. True, not all his publicity was favorable. For example. Hearst's magazine ran a damaging series of articles panning him for his anti-Jew activities. But Henry kept sweet. One curious feature of the Ford boom is its scope. Ford seems strongest in the South, where the agricultural population hails his project for making cheap fertilizer at the Government water -power dam at Muscle Shoals.

Is Puzzling Angle Another puzzling angle of this Ford boom is the way Ford acquired his reputation. He has seldom done anything for purely unselfish “motives. A possible exception was his 111-fated i “peace *ship." Ford never gave away money like Rockefeller and Carnegie or other rich men. He has established his reputation for charity out of coldblooded business transactions. Labor is counted upon to support Ford. Yet, as a labor leader here in Washington remarked a few- days ago, "We don't know where Ford stands and we can t find out. If he runs for President. I don't think labor leaders would be for him. but there isn't any douht about the rank and file—it is all for Henry.” Pays Workers Well The only thing that Ford has done for labor is pay his workers well. That made them work harder. Ford gathered In bigger profits. Another strange feature of Ford’s rise in fame and fortune is ordinary j folks don't begrudge him his wealth. ! Yet no man ever took more money from the pockets of the common people. Ford is now manufacturing his motors at the rate of almost 2,000.000 machines a year. At present prices ! this means that he collects front the ; poorer classes of people the world ; over, hut mostly in America, some- j thing like a billion dollars a year. Yet nobody shouts "Trust!” or “Mo- j nopoly!” at Henry! What kind of a President would Henry make? Some picture him a babe in the woods among the experienced politi-1 clans in Washington. A few say he would be a genius.
