Keeping the Facts Straight .r7"j LITTLE sidelight on the aircraft row. |r\. Colonel Mitchell just now is engaged in telling the world that Uncle Sam is but a puling babe when it comes to building planes and Tying them. He would have us copy the British idea. A cable from London says Britain’s new bombing planes, known as the “Flying Foxes,” are to be equipped with 400 horsepower motors, American built and American ' designed. The plane itself, we are told, is to be patterned after the American model made famous in last year’s Schneider cup race. “It is commonly acknowledged among airmen on this side that European countries would find it well-nigh impossible to build planes equal to those which for several yeai*s have captured the Schneider cup,’ says a ca- • ble from England. “They believe Colonel Mitchell may be •justified in some of his criticisms of the Ame, 1 - , lean organization, but they hold American planes and motors in the highest esteem ”
The South and West SNY unbiased person must agree u Ith Senator Underwood of Alabama that the South and West should be given “fair and just” representation on the Interstate Commerce Commission. About half the present eleven members of the commission come from the congested East, from New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Indiana, Kentucky and the District of Columbia. The Northwest is also well represented with members from Oregon and Washington State. Wisconsin has two members. The remaining man comes from Colorado. The great empire stretching south of Washington,. D. C., and westward to the Pacific Ocean is thus almost without any word in the very commission which of all Federal commissions has the future of the region in the hollow of its hand. The South and West are still crying for development. Even as the progress ofdtye East once depended on railroad ties and steel track so the progress of the South and West depends now. Senator Underwood, in speaking before the American Bankers’ Association in Atlantic City, put the matter mildly when he suggested that “all men’s environment, to a greater or lesser extent, affects their judgment.” He could have adde'l that it is totally impossible for irien from the congested East, or from the rich farming country of the middle West, ever really to understand the problems South and West.

Training in electricity can be obtained in the Navy, but it would be better not to enlist with this idea alone In mind as only a limited number of men are assigned to trad? schools and no promises can be made when one enlists.

tariff on straw hats, he may be offering an example of something else. There is now a 60 per cent duty on straw hats. American straw hut makers want this increased to 100 per cent, if possible, or to 90 per cent at least. Remembering what you paid for the hat which you dutifully threw away the other day, preparatory to buying another next spring, you will be surprised to learn that American hat manufacturers are telling the President they need more protection. You will be even more surprised to learn that in Washington it is believed.the President is not unsympathetic to their plea. What the hat manufacturers are saying is that they cannot compete with European hat makers unless a tax equal to the cost of each hat is placed on it when it reaches this country. They cannot compete with a $2 hat from Italy unless a $2 tax is placed on it, making it a $4 hat, they say. If the manufacturers get away with this, the poor benighted hat wearer had better make up his mind not only to wear his straw hat as early and as late as the weather dictates, but to quit throwing it away at the ball game and to lay it away for use in more than one summer. The price will make this necessary.
Political Office AYORS, Governors and Senators are IVI cheap. We refuse to pay them salaries comparable to what business pays for like responsibilities. The people, so the politicians think, would übject. # f But electing these officials is not cheap at all. It cost $88,668 not to nominate Hvlan for mayor of New York. What it will cost for the successful candidate, for both primary and election, is not yet known, but it will be many times the salary of the office. What the people will not pay out of the taxes, somebody has to pay, either jut of pure patriotism, or in hope of favors to be received. In the case of a President the cost is reckoned by millions. Measured by what somebody puts up for them, these offices are worth vast sums. Measured by what the people are williing to pay directly, they are worth very little. Somebody’s estimate is wrong. Subsidy rqHECRETARY HOOVER considers a “di--1 1 rect subsidy” unnecessary for the development of air transportation, That is fortunate. The American people have no objection to subsidies, and have approved many very popular ones. But they do not like them by that name. They will not object to paying for surveying and lighting the air ways, furnishing air ports free, and so arranging the compensation for carrying the mails as to be profitable to the companies but a loss to the Government. This is not “direct” subsidy. Indirect subsidy is one of the most popular uses of Government funds. And surely there was never a more useful one than this.

The Whig Party was the name adopted by the National Republican party in 1834'.- The party grew out of the opposition to Andrew Jackson and the system of personal government which he put into effect. After the election of 1852, when the party was badly defeated at the polls, its leaders lost all hope of reviving it. The northern Whigs eventually joined the Republicans.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
PROGRESS MADE TOWARD THE CURING OF CANCER
By David Dietz iVL'A Service Writer S'—' 'iCIENTISTS are waging a world-wide battle upon cancer today. Surgeons, physicians, biologists, chemists and expert microscopists of every nation are turning their attention to this dread disease. Important progress is being made. But it should be remembered that cancer is -a long way from being conquered. The receipt work of Dr. W. E. Gye and Dr. J. E. Barnard of England has been receiving mudh attention. It should be kept in mind, however, that this work in no way constitutes a cancer cure. It is of value at the present time only to investigating bilogolists. It may be five, or even twentyfive years, before the practicing physician or surgeon will benefit by their work Their work represents an important extension of researches begun in th 9 United States by Dr. Peyton Rous of the* Rockefeller Institute. Together with some important work now going on in Germany and Denmark, it tends to establish a theory as to the cause of cancer. Up to the present time there have been two conflicting theories about the origin of canoc-r. One view was that no germ played a part in cancer, the cancer resulting from a wild growth on the part of the body cells. It was believed that so- some reason, the factor which causes cells to grow to a certain size and shape at a certain rate

the wreck pf their pay envelopes. Four per cent Interest doesn’t sound enticing to a man who has a few hundred dollars to invest, from which he hopes to get dich. It takes a long time at that rate for a few dollars invested to lift a man from the flivver to the RollsRoyce clasp. So most men try to get In on the ground floor of something like Ford Motor o- a Florida real estate boom, and jerk themselves from poverty to plutocracy on a shoestring. The get-rich-quick and blue-sky promoters consequently never lack customers. Sometimes, of course, a miracle does happen and a nickel is run into a million dollars. But not often. It is significant that those who have money are the greatest lovers of lowinterest bonds. They seek security of Investment, not a Perhaps that’s the reason they have money.

FOIvKER, I A Dutch airplane designer * and aviation authority, \4sited Indianapolis the other day in the commercial airplane reliability flight sponsored by the Ford interests. He, predicts tremendous development of commercial flying in this country in the near fu*ture. Lack of suitable landing fields near the large cities is the greatest present handicap to winged transportation, he declared. No, transportation system is better than Its terminal facilities. What sort of port would New York be if ocen vessels had to anchor near Sandy Hook? Would railroads have amounted to much in a transportation way if their tracks, stations and terminal facilities had been piaffed far outside the cities they attempted to serve? But that’s the present status of commercial aviation Practically no city in the country possesses a real, centrally locnted airport. An enthusiastic chamber of commerce wil dub some inaccessible, level piece of waste land—which no one wants for any other purpose—an airport and then wonder why the sky isn’t full of wings. Indianapolis, syhlch has a premonition It will be at center for commercial air lines, has a fine landing field. But it is at Ft. Harrison, eight or ten miles distant. At present in a flight to Chicago more time would be consumed getting to and from the landing fields than In the air. No matter how cheaply, speedily and safely planes can fly the flight must have a beginning and and end to be economically important. Beginning and end must be on the ground or thereabouts. A w T ell equipped, conveniently located landing field would do more to put Indianapolis in the way of prospective commercial flying developments than gallons of effervescent talk.
became inoperative and that the cells grew wild as a result. The other view was that cancer was the result of a germ so small that ordinary methods failed to detect its presence or its method of functioning. The work of Gye and Barnard tends to prove that this is the correct view. They worked with a cancer found in chickens which was first investigated by Dr. Rous and known as a result as the Rous chicken sarcom i. Dr. Rous proved that this cancer was caused by a virus which could be separated from the tissues of the cancer. Blit he was not able to cultivate or grow the virus in test tubes as can be done with other germs, nor could he see the germs under a microscope. * • • Gye and Barnard lia\ r e been able to do these things. Dr. Gye has succeeded in growing the virus in a test tube, transferring a little to a new tost tube and growing a now quantity and keeping this process up for nine or ten times. Injection of virus from the last test tube will cause cancer ; n healthy chickens. Dr. Barnard with the aid of a special ultra-microscope which makes use of ultra-violet light and therefore shows objects smaller than can be seen with ordinary microscopes, has been able to see the organism in the virus and to watch it multiply. ■ The organisms appear like tiny glistening globules. After a short time they swell up. Little patches appear on them, which separate off, forming new globules. In this way, the germs grow in numbers.
ATHLETES AND SCHOLARSHIP S r ~~~‘ CIIOLASTIC grades of Indiana University athletes , i are equal to the average grad*s of all the men students at and are improving, according to figures recently compiled by university officials. Perhaps it doesn’t mean anything. The average aJumnus would rather have a shifty back than an A student on the football team. Undergraduates don’t cheer so much when a fellow student stops a French verb In its tracks as when he shoots a basket. Nevertheless the scholarship record rather refutes the common belief that athletic prowess and classroom dumbness necessarily go hand In hand. Many well meaning people would abolish all college .athletic contests on the ground thut they are merely commercialized spectacles. distracting young men from their books. But why not athletic teams and competitive sports? No college course is so difficult as to require all of a student's time and attention. The average young man attending the university has plenty of spare time, without shirking academic duties, to indulge in the Charleston, necking. waiting on table, athletics or such other outside activity as he fancies. The particular hobby chosen is a matter of individual taste. The man trying to make the varsity team is probably employing his spare time as profitably as most of the other young men in the school. If he neglects his academic work in consequence it is not the fault of athletics, but of the university faculty. Properly supervised athletics are beneficial, not harmful, In colleges and universities. To win a place on a varsity team a man must ho energetic and ambitious, a clean liver and a quick thinker. Those qualities won't handicap scholarship. DEPORT ALIEN r CRIMINALS IOVEENOR JACKSON and members of the State hoard u—l of pardons are considering release to Federal immigration authorities, for deportation to their native lands, alien criminals serving sentences in the Indiana Reformatory. There are about thirty such prisoners at Pendleton. The plan should meet general approval. There is no reason why the State of Indiana should board and clothe tho unnaturalized criminal riffraff of Europe. Besides Pendleton is badly crowded; every hit of space in the institution is needed for our native Hoosiers. Deportation of undesirable aliens has become quite the fad with Federal immigration powers. It is believed to be an effective weapon in fighting bootlegging, banditry and . other similar outbreaks on our body politic. In New York it is being employed to squelch the Intermittent Chinese tong wars. All the Chinese In that city were rounded up. Those unable to prove their right to reside in this country, through birth or legal admittance, are held for deportation. Nearly one-fourth of the 1,200 Ohinamen thus gathered in were found to be in the country illegally. No question but what troublemaking aliens, red. pink or yellow, and those here contrary to our immigration law should be kicked over the fence and out. But will deportation keep them out? Theoretically deportation is an effective weapon, practically it is just a shiny- tin sword without a cutting edge. An enterprising undesirable alien kicked off ofur front steps can come right back and saunter into the country anywhere along the thousands of miles of unguarded line along th* Canadian and Mexican borders. / Afterwards he isn’t likely to t*e apprehended unless hefalls aefoul a criminal statute again. Unless an alien registration s 5 stem is perfected or an effect /ve border patrol established, the teeth in the deportation clause of tflj.e immigration law are an optical illusion.

Fairbanks Makes ‘Don Q’ Whip of a Film; > ‘lron Horse’ Lives Up to Expectations
By Walter 11. Hickman SERE is a whip of picture. It’s a cracking good piece of entertainnment. Just the sort of stuff that you expect from Doug Fairbanks. Am speaking of "Don Q, Son of Zoro,” with Doug Fairbanks doing the things which makes him loved
the world over. This man knows how to jazz up romance, He knows how to put red blood into a ch a r&cter. In “Don Q,” Doug has one big stunt which he works during the entire picture. He cracks a big long snake like whip. The whip goes singing through the uir to swat the villain, to claim the important papers and to rescue the dame he loves.

Doug Fairbanks
Here is Fairbanks as the woirld loves him. It is romantic hokum played as if it were a symphony. "Don Q" will have ten times the general appeal that "The Thief of Bagdad’’ had. Doug's latest Is the most cracking piece of romance he has given the screen in years. It is loaded with thrills, stunts, rescues, chases, romance, love, beautiful scenes and above all the electric personality of Doug Fairbanks. We love to see Doug scale walls; we roar when he pulls a bit of new comedy; we yell w-hen he cheats the villains and there is a band of ’em in this picture; we even crack with the whip when Doug sends It through the air and we cry with joy when he gets the girl he loves. And there is lot of Doug in this picture, because he not only plays the role of Don, but of Don’s father, Zorro. Here is some of the best double exposure stuff I have ever seen. You see at the same time Fairbanks as Don and Fairbanks as Zorro fighting the common enemy side by pide. If this scene does get you goin’ wild, then you need a strong tonic. "Don Q’’ is full of the old Fairbanks, meaning the athletic, fightin’ go to thunder Doug. It is full of life every second. It is the fastest cracking movie that Doug has given the world. It is glorified entertainment, and I do not say maybe. It smacks at times of romantic hokum, but it is so genuine and so glorious that you will wish that Doug again will be seen in another Don role. Doug’s whip will crack In front of the eyes of thousands while it is at the Circle this week. Here is a picture that advances the entertaining qualities of the screen. If you are looking for rt-dhot romance, filled with action and with a wicked, crackling whip, then "Don Q” will crack open your reserve and will make you love the star and the picture. You will enjoy Mary Astor as the girl in the case; you will be thrilled with the work of Jean Hersholt as Don Fabrique and you will admit that Donald Crisp, who not only directed the production but played

lend a disturbing hand; money sharks were -present always to get in on the good gravy and above all there were a few men presnt who had dreams of a great vision. These were men who saw another day, who realized that the railroad was the key which would unlock the gates which blocked progress. Tho very thought of filming such a story means that the director must know his history and must know how to put theater in the filming of the grr-ac accomplishment. And John Ford has given us both history and entertainment. "The Iron Horse” must be considered as a whole. Just one thing does not stand out above the other. It moves as slowly as “The Covered Wagon,” does not possess as much comedy as the "wagon,” but it does create the kind of comedy that is needed in giving the lighter touch to th<A movie. In the prologue, Charles Edward Bull plays the role of Abraham Lincoln. The introduction of Lincoln is necessarjr because Lincoln signed the bill which made possible the building of the railroad. Bull gives us an interesting Lincoln and at times a natural one, I think. He gives us the sort of a characterization that one expects to see when he looks at a picture of Lincoln. The play ; Itself is concerned with the actual building of the two railroads before they were joined. It is a big picture, and Ford, as director, had to use simple and natural methods while duplicating scenes which actually took place years ago.

Anyway, at least my back is in the movies. At last.
