Our Gloomy Gusses Efforts of the local, supporters of Arthur [Robinson and Harry Leslie should furnish the necessary laugh as a counter irritant to the hot weather. Surely no one would take seriously their claims, which are being whispered about rather openly, that Herbert Hoover is in grave danger $n Indiana and that it will require a hard fight to carry the electoral vote for him. Aside from the fact that this State has a irecord of voting rather regularly for Republicans on national matters, there is this year added the popularity of Hoover and the universal confidence which is reposed in him, especially by women voters who do not care so piuch for parties. I The huge, unorganized vote given to jHoover in the Republican primary in opposition to the highly organized efforts for Senator TWatson is some indication of the Hoover grip on the voters of his mvn party in this State. ! There is a reason, of course, for these gloomy gestures of the politicians. They understand that this year the voters are not misled by any idea that it is necessary ■to vote for Leslie or for Robinson in order to (support Mr. Hoover or anything for which Hoover stands or may stand. | They know that the big issue in this State is a clean-up of the old influences which disgraced the State and which still humiliates it. ( They know that good citizenship and the £>est interests of Indiana demand that the State House be not only cleaned, but scoured and ifumigated. i The pessimistic predictions concerning Hoover should alarm no friend of that candidate. They are put out for only one purpose. They are intended and designed for the sole purpose of frightening Republican adherents of Hoover into a state of mind where they might possibly forget the iniquities of the past and forget to scratch the State candidates, i These whisperers are not worrying about Hoover. Asa matter of fact they so bitterly denounced him in the past that they can have no real interest in his election. They are afraid, and with good reason,' thatisomething bad, very bad, is going to happen to Leslie and Robinson in November. Mental Murder We are making progress even in the art of murder. A New York man has invented a system whereby a husband with murder in his heart can get all the kick out of murder his murderous inclinations may require and yet not harm a hair of his victim s head. This inventor wired the police, “I killed my wife ■this morning. Am at 42 Newark St., Hoboken.” He was duly arrested, insisted he had killed his Wife, surprised her in the apartment, chased her info the bathroom, stabbed her with a long-bladed knife end then had a taxi driver dispose of the body. All of which sounded murderous enough to the police until the police found the murdered wife calmly sitting at her desk at an office on Broad St., very much alive, and all they could charge the husband with was disorderly conduct. If all murderers would adopt this method, do their killing in their mind and keep it there, it would save intended victims harmless and save all the bother and expense of the State trying, convicting and murdering the murderer. This is the only kind of murder we can recommend. Its advantages so heavily outweigh its disadvantages that we would like to see the same principle applied to all forms of crime. For we can stand crime, provided nobody suffers but the psychological criminal, and he only in his mind, if any. Others Are Overpaid, Too It is said by sports writers that the Tunney-Hee-ney fight marked the end of the million dollar gates. Never again, they say, will a pugilist get half a million, for an evening’s work. The boom has collapsed. That is, after all, a good thing. The tremendous purses drawn down by boxers represented a sense of values that was out of all proportion. But the situation was never quite as bad as some people used ifco think. It’s hardly right for a fighter to earn more than the President of the United States, perhaps. But, after all, there are sleek-haired movi actors and softly-curved movie actresses who make even more money; and, in the long run, it is probably true that they contribute no more to the advancement of the nation than th prize fighters. Women as Pilots The exploit of Lady Heath, British airwoman, who piloted a commercial plane carrying twenty-five passengers across the English channel on one of its yegular trips, suggests the possibility that aviation will become anew field in which women can exercise their talents. There is no reason why women should not be as good pilots as men. The job calls for an excellent physique and good powers ol endurance, but does not require great physical strength. No one has ever demonstrated that the qualities most needed by a competent aviator are not possessed by women as .well as by men. It is entirely possible that the future will see many Women piloting commercial planes about the country —-indeed, “probable” is no doubt a better word than Woman has invaded every other field; Why not this one? Sometimes a man takes a girl in his arms to find that he has her on his hands. Coolidge out after bass, says a newspaper headJine. We often have felt like chasing some of those gingers ourselves.

Checking Speculation Although the Buffalo lawyer’s suit to restrain the New York City Federal Reserve Bank from trying to discourage the use of its credit for stock speculation seems a little preposterous, since that was one of the principal objects in organizing the reserve system, the idea of seeking an accounting of its conduct is appealing. . The facts are something like this: A year or so ago the reserve bank officials were appealed to by heads of foreign central banks to lower money rates in this country to aid in European financial rehabilitation by making Europe an attractive place in which to lend money. Ohis was done. The reserve board even went so far as to order the Chicago Reserve Bank to lower its rediscount rate against the will of its directors. This “cheap money” policy gave a great boost to stock speculation, with the result that today New York City member banks of the reserve system are handling more than four billion dollars of loans on securities. They have been trying for some months to reduce the volume of their credit being used for speculation. Not because the loans are not entirely sound, but on the theory that too large a portion of the country’s credhr is getting tied up in this way. The reserve banks have been raising their rediscount rates and tightening up generally. While such policy is designed to cut down reserve bank financing of stock speculation, it hits industry and commerce—the fabrication and distribution of essential commodities—just as hard as it does the speculators. It is a policy much similar to that of going out and locking all the small boys in the neighborhood because someone broke a window. If the reserve authorities want to check the use of the credit resources under their trusteeship for stock speculation, there are ways in which they can deal directly with the source of the evil, or the reserve banking act is fatally defective. Members of the reserve board, appearing before the Senate banking and currency committee last session, stoutly affirmed that no legislation was/ needed to deal with brokers’ loans. What may be needed is a little administrative imagination to get the reserve banks out of the New York stock market without working a hardship on industry generally. Mine Wage Negotiations The weakened position of union miners, following abandonment of the Jacksonville wage scale and adoption of the program for agreements by districts, is illustrated in wage negotiations now going on. Deep vein bituminous operators of Indiana are demanding wage reductions of approximately 30 per cent, which would make the basic wape for miners $5 daily. Ohio soft coal operators have refused even to treat with the union. Only four of them appeared at Columbus at a meeting scheduled with the United Mine Workers, and this group proposed that any wage reductions in the nonunion fields of Kentucky and West Virginia be met by similar reductions in Ohio. This the union rejected, and it is likely there will be scattered local agreements without regard to the union. The union was defeated badly in its protracted strike. Operators have the whip hand. It will be unfortunate if they take advantage of their position to force starvation wages on the miners, or to destroy their district organizations. Apparently no one knows the remedy for the demoralization of the soft coal industry. Common sense should tell the operators, however, that they can not put their business on its feet by* forcing poverty on the workers. And if ever the industry is to become stabilized, organization of the workers Is essential.

David Dietz on Science The Father of Medicine No. 121

MYSTERY surrounds the career of Aesculapius, the father of Greek medicine. Homer tells us that he was the king of Thessaly and that his two sons, Podalirius and Machaon, were, respectively, the physician and the surgeon of the Greek warriors who besieged Troy. But Aesculapius was defied by the Greeks and his true history lost in the usual sort of mythological tale. According to the legend which later surrounded him, he was the son of the sun-god Apollo and the

or a woman of outstanding beauty were at a loss to explain the possession of talents or qualities which other members of the family did not possess. So they assumed that the fortunate one was really the child of the gods. The legend continues that Aesculapius finally became so skilled that he could bring the dead back to life and that Zeus or Jupiter, king of the gods, fearing that he might depopulate Hades, killed him with a thunderbolt. Temples devoted to Aesculapius, who was known as the god of healing, numbered more than 200 in ancient Greece. Large ones were situated at Cos, Cnidos and Pergamon. The one at Athens was built in 420 B. C. It was customary for the sick to be brought to one of these temples and left there over night. In the morning, the priests prescribed for the patients, basing their advice in part on dreams which the patients had during the night in the temple. These priests, however, possessed considerable skill and such medical knowledge as was in existence at the time, and much of their advice was pretty good. People who were cured inscribed their names on voting tablets which were hung upon the walls of the temples. Many of these have been recovered during archealogical excavations. They were believed to constitute the oldest medical records ever made. Aesculapius was a favorite subject with ancient artists. He was usually portrayed as a tall man with a beard. A long cloak was draped about him, leaving his right shoulder and breast bare. He carried a stall around which was twined a serpent, symbol of renovation and life.

M. E. TRACY SAYS: “Though the Democratic Party Seems to Be Promising Beer and Light Wines if Smith Is Elected, It Also Is Promising to Elect Dry Congressmen.”

ACCORDING to the New York Times, Lowden will not bolt the Republican ticket and come out for Smith, which, if true, spoils another rose-tinted dream. Farm relief has not become the soul-swaying issue that Democratic leaders hoped it would. The reason is plain. Democratic leaders hoped too much and did too little. They gassed a lot at Houston, but when they got through, they had not made themselves particularly clear. Lowden can be disgusted thoroughly with the Republican platform and still fail to be impressed with the Democratic platform. So can a lot of other farmers. tt tt tt Yes and No The Democratic plank on farm relief was about as flexible and ambiguous as was the Democratic plank on prohibition. You can read most anything into it that you like. It can be construed as a ringing indorsement of the McNaryHaugen bill, or as knock at the equalization fee. All things considered, the Democratic party seems to have done a fine job of writing planks which can be interpreted two’ ways, if not more. A good many people got the impression that the Houston convention adopted a prohibition plank which was fairly dry, but here is Senator Pittman, chairman of the platform committee, asserting that Governor Smith does not contradict it in the least when he comes out in favor of modification. a a a Two-Way Promises According to the latest official view, the Democratic platform is just as good for dry Congressmen as for a wet President. That being the case, what could a wet President do if too many dry Congressmen happened to be elected? Obviously, the stage was set for dry votes in dry sections and wet votes in wet sections, which throws the whole controversy back on the legislative branch of the Government. regardless of what the presidential candidate may favor. Though the Democratic party seems to be promising beer and light wine if Smith is elected, It also is promising to elect drv Congressmen wherever they offer the best bet. tt tt ts No Issues Prohibition is failing to break the solid South for exactly the same reason that farm relief is failing to split the mid-West. There has been too much of a stall on both issues for people to get excited. You simply cannot straddle and have issues. Lacking issues, the campaign shapes itself around personalities. A good many of his supporters are comforting themselves with the notion that that is where Governor Smith gets the real advantage. I am not so sure. If Governor Smith is a good talker. Hoover is a good organizer. Which counts more in politics? a tt tt . Shoe Leather Counts I never have known a political campaign in which talk brought home the bacon. What is more, I have never known a practical politician who thought it could. Talk is all right for pep purposes, but when it comes to changing votes, and especially to getting them out, shoe leather is the important factor. Give me an evenly divided community and I will let the, other crowd have all the orators if it will leave me the ward feelers and precinct workers. Hoover went into countries where no one else could during the war and afterward, and he went largely through his skill as an organizer, as a picker of men, as a political strategist. If that is not personality, what is? tt tt u Worry Over Leaders The Republican politicians of Pennsylvania are worried right now because sickness has robbed them of the services of William S. Vare, while the Democratic politicians of Illinois are similarly anxious on account of George Brennan. That is because they know the game and realize what they have lost. a tt a The Tune Changes Speaking of Vare and Brennan, is it not queer how quickly the tune changes when nature snaps her fingers? No one thinks of sniping at them now, though they were anybody’s target two weeks ago. Poyitics, like other human activities, would be easier to forecast, but for the caprices of inscrutable fate. A Willis drops dead, an Obregon is shot, a Vare is stricken and things seem vastly different than they were before. No machine is so well organized and no campaign so well planned that the removal of some individual cannot produce serious results. The wonderment over what may happen with them out of the picture is a greater tribute to the influence exercised by Vare and Brenl- - than is the cessation of the sniping, though that in itself constitutes no small evidence of respect. No matter how their methods might have been detested their es-. fectiveness was recognized, particularly by those acquainted with the practical side of politics.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

This Is the first of two articles discussing rabies, one of the most feared and least understood of all diseases. BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine. WITH the coming of hot weather, because of the wider opportunities of dogs to run about freely, there are likely to appear more and more cases of hydrophobia or rabies due to mad dog bites. This is a condition which is attracting increased attention all over the United States. The Institute of Medicine of Chicago, for instance, has just issued a special report in the form of a public warning. From January to May, 1926, the heads of sixty dogs were examined by the health department. In five of these the brains indicated the presence of special conditions that are associated with rabies. In the same period in 1927, fiftysix heads were examined, of which eleven indicated the changes. In 1928, 704 heads were examined and 561 of these gave evidence of rabic infection. This condition is unprecedented in the history of _ Chicago and probably of that of any other large American city. From August, 1919, to August, 1927, there was not one death from mad dog bite in Chicago, whereas in the ten months preceding July, 1928. there were nineteen deaths in Chicago as contrasted with fiftynine human deaths in the whole United States in 1927, In the analysis of the condition, the Institute of Medicine recommended strict enforcement of the city ordinance for at least ninety days. Rabies can be eradicated by the

(Abbreviations: A—ace: K—king: Q Queen: J—jack: X—any card lower than 10.) EAST having determined by the "rule eleven" that six clubs are divided between himself and declarer, he examines his hand. He holds three cards higher than the two of clubs. That makes it obvious that the declarer also holds three cards higher than the two of clubs. East knows that the declarer holds any three of the following: Clubs K Q 9 7 5 4. Similarly, the declarer knows that east holds any three of the following: Clubs A Q 1 6 5 4. It is obvious that if either one of these two players knew the rule of eleven while his opponent did not, the former would have a great advantage ! This rule serves the following purposes: 1. At no trump it tells the leader’s partner how many higher cards in the same suit are held by the declarer and is a guide in determining the card to be played. 2. At suit play ic may flash to the leader’s partner a danger signal indicating the lead of a singleton or doubleton. 3. It assists in determining the distribution of the cards. 4. It is of equal assistance to the declarer because it enables him to locate the missing high cards and to determine the distribution. To show the application of the rule of eleven in actual play in which you see only your own hand and the dummy, the following example is presented: Dummy holding—hearts K 4 2. East holding—hearts A 10 9 3. Declarer—none. West—leads hearts 7. West leads heart 7. By subtracting seven from eleven, east learns that four cards higher than the heart 7 are held in the dummy, declarer’s hanfi and his own hand. The heart king is in the dummy and east holds heart A 10 9—a total of four cards higher than the heart 7. It is now obvious that the declarer holds no card in the heart suit higher than the heart 7. East knows, therefore, that unless the heart king is played from the dummy he need not cover with the heart ace for the heart 7 will take the trick!

Goshen News-Times D. C. Stephenson’s legal maneuvers to get himself out of prison thus far have strengthened his prospect of staying where he is. One by one his court actions have met with failure, until now but one legal avenue remains to be tested—the legality of procedure in the trial in which he was convicted of murder—and this doesn’t seem to offer much hope. Stephenson has injured rather than benefited his case by the multiplicity of court actions brought in his behalf by lawyers, some of whom would seem to have been more interested in notoriety for themselves than benefit to their client. Their maneuvers thus far have resulted only in fastening him more securely in the clutches of the law and that isn’t what lawyers are hired to do.

To accomplish this a system of gears, called the differential, is provided which permits one wheel to travel

Indiana Republicans may as well make up their minds that the Democratic campaign in this State this year will be waged along the line of corruption in State offices and by party officers of the Republcians. The fact that there has been corruption in high Republican places in Indiana cannot be dodged; nor has it all been eradicated. And those Republicans who attempt to make a defense for some of those high in party affairs whose conduct is indefensible will merely find themselves and the party all the more discredited. But the Republican party can stress the quality of its nominees for State offices, against not one of whom is there the taint of corruption. The Democrats have nominated clean and able men, as to most of them, for State jobs, and the Republicans have done the same, so that however Indiana may go politically next November the people are not likely to lose.

The United States Biological Survey says that there are a number of different species of hawks and the food habits of all are not the same. Some prey almost entirely upon small mammals such as mice, ground squirrels and rabbits, whereas the food of others consists chiefly of birds. The latter are responsible for the bad reputations of all hawks. The bird-eaters should be killed at every opportunity, but it is equally important that the others be spared, for they do a great deal of good in destroying small animal pests of the farmer. The bird-eating hawks include the Cooper hawk and the sharp-shinned hawk which capture their prey by swift fierce darts from the concealment of thick foliage. Most of the other hawks are beneficial to the farmer. . What is the chief export of the United States? Unmanufactured cotton, valued in 1926 at $814,000,000, is the chief export.

Now Comes the Hymn of Hate BY N. D. COCHRAN

THERE Is a popular theory that war means fighting with deadly weapons and that wholesale murder is the most important part of it. Those leaders who bring on wars know, however, that plenty of hatred must be stirred up in the human heart by way of preparation for fighting. Before we took a personal interest in the late World War. American boys and German boys didn’t hate American boys. But when we got into the mess and began training our boys in southern camps an important part of the training was to teach our boys to hate the Germaas. Some of the good patriotic Christians, who prayed fervently to God to take sides in the war between the various Christian countries would have been surprised, and possibly shocked, if they had seen some of the training—particularly when their boys were being taught to jab bayonets into dummies reppresenting the enemy and at the same time grit their teeth and then swear viciously as they jabbed their bayonets home. Politics is something like that. It is a game, like most other games, war. The generals in a presidential based on the theory of contest or war keep cool enough, but to get the partisan voters stirred up to the fighting and voting point'they stir up hatred. , That’s what they are about when they attack the character of candidates of the opposition—or the enemy. tt tt tt IT isn’t so bad as it used to be, but it still is bad enough. Accusing Hoover of being more English than American was intended to stir up animosity toward him, at least whatever anti-English or antifdreign sentiment there might be to work upon. Attacks on Smith as a member of Tammany has the same purpose back ol it. The names of Tweed and Croker can be dragged in and all the crookedness and wickedness of Tammany under those bosses coupled up with Smith. By stirring up hatred of Tammany it is hoped to have it break on Smith's head. Early in the game political enemies of Hoover in his own party sought to make the farmers hate Hoover by falsely charging him with being their enemy and largely responsible for their woes by his policy as food dictator during the war. The politicians who used that argument knew it wasn't true, but they wanted to make the farmers hate Hoover and prevent his nompoliticians, just as unscrupulous, ination. Very likely Democratic will emply the same tactics in this campaign. The point is that in this political war the generals will try to besmirch the character of opposing candidates to win votes for their own candidates. They don’t want to kill the body, but would murder the reputation. If the people were to believe all this stuff they would have to come to the conclusion that two eminent public men who were believed to be highly respectable citizens and patriotic Americans before they were nominated as presidential candidates suddenly have become unfit to occupy any public office. Prize fighters may bloody noses and beat each other to pulp, but they don't try to destroy the character or reputation of their opponents. Very seldom does one of them intentionally strike a foul blow. The rules of the game in most sports are cleaner and more manly than the rules of tihe game we cail politics.

EMERGENCY FIRST AID First A id for Bleeding Is Explained No. 4

By Science Service Bleeding from an ordinary cut will stop as soon as the blood clots, but if a vein or artery has been cut, the blood will continue to flow, so that clotting is impossible. Blood from an artery is bright red and spurts out; that from a vein is dark and flows evenly. Either type of bleeding must bechecked at once to prevent serious, possibly fatal, harm to the injured person from loss of blood. Pressure over the vein or artery will stop the bleeding. When the bleeding is from an artery, pressure should be applied between the heart and the wound. When bleeding is from a vein, pressure should be on the other side of the wound from the heart. A tourniquet commonly is used to apply pressure. One easily may be made from materials at hand, such as tie, belt, handkerchief or suspenders. Wire, rope or cord should not be used. Wrap the bandage or strap over a pad at the point where pressure Is to be applied, slip a stick of wood or even a lead pencil, inside it and twist to tighten, until the flow of blood stops. A tourniquet should be loosened after twenty minutes. If bleeding starts again, the tourniquet should be tigtened again. .Bleeding will increase if the heart action is speeded up, so the patient should be kept quiet, lying down and no stimulants should be given.
