Home Work Frauds The Better Business Bureau of this city is issuing warning against the so-called “home work” schemes which operate through advertising for help. The chances of earning anything, says the bureau, is very small. i It might have gone farther and said that chances are exactly nothing. These schemes are not designed to obtain belp or labor. The profit comes from selling cheap outfits at high prices to those who hope to earn money by working at odd hours at home. Invariably, or almost so, the work" when completed is sent back to the woman, for most patrons of these concerns are women, as im- ' perfect and unsalable. As etidence of the huge profits that come from these schemes the Better Business bureau says that in six months one concern took $50,000 away from its dupes. The warning of the Better Business Bureau, i which offers to investigate any appeal for “home work,” is particularly interesting at this time. For weeks Robert Hicks, the South Whitley editor who has exposed'hundreds of such schemes, has charged that one of these frauds is operated by Frank Rozelle, recently namsd as United States marshal for the northern district of Indiana. Rozelle lives at La Grange. During the ireign of Clyde Walb he acted as the head of the speakers’ bureau for the Republican State 'committee. He boasted or claimed that during the closing days of the Legislature he was called by Governor Jackson to whip reluctant lawmakers into line for the “Governor’s program.” Hicks definitely charges that political pressure is being exerted to protect Rozelle from any real inquiry or prosecution. Senator Robinson, who recommended Rozelle, has declared his faith in Rozelle’s integrity. Senator Watson, in a letter to the Attorney General, asked that there should be a complete inquiry which would either vindicate Rozelle or force his removal. Here’s one case which the Better Buss, ness Bureau might tackle with profit to its cause. Either the scheme is a fraud or it is honest. If it is a fraud then its owner has no place in our court machinery. The Rising Cost of Government Taxpayers will do well to note that expenditures of the Federal Government are rising steadily, despite all talk of economy. Budget Director Lord, calling on President Coolidge in Wisconsin, submitted estimates of $3,700,000,000 for the fiscal year of 1930, which begins on July 1 of next year. This is an increase of $400,000,000 over the budget for the current year. There will in addition be appropriated for the Postofflce Department about $800,000,000, most of which will be paid back into the treasury. Also, there will be the customary deficiency bills, which probably Will call for added appropriations of not less than '5200,000,000. This means that the total prospective outlay by the next Congress will be not less than $4,700,000,000. lit will be more than that if Congress authorizes new 'projects, which is probable. The budget bureau has not revealed how much it has allocated for flood control, naval expansion, increasing the revolving fund of the shipping board iXalready authorized), and similar items. It is conceivable that the bureau’s figures may be considerably changed by congressional action. Congress provided for the current fiscal year ’(1929) the greatest peacetime outlay in the history of this or any other government. Appropriations were $4,642,000,000. This figure included two deficiency bills totaling $346,000,000. For the fiscal year of 1928, appropriations were $4,298,000,000; for 1927 they were $3,998,000,000; for 1926 they were $3,741,000,000. All totals include reimbursable postofflce appropriations. The figures for consecutive years show graphically how expenditures have been mounting. < Government finance is a tremendously complicated thing. Government experts themselves frequently do not agree on what the figures mean. The fact would seem to be inescapable, however, that each year the Federal expenditures are increasing by sizable amounts, and that there is no evidence pf a tendency in the other direction. A Forward Move Americans should have nothing but support and fcommendation for Washington’s action in negotiating , new tariff treaty with the Chinese nationalists. Press dispatches intimate that other powers, notably Britain and Japan, may look with cool eyes on this move. But, after all, it was a move demanded by simple justice. China has suffered from the inequal treaties long enough. We can be proud that America has taken the lead in moving to make amends. If other powers, less willing to give up special privileges obtained by force, protest against the American action, they should be given to understand that this nation is solidly behind the move, without reservations. Thirty billion cups of tea are consumed each year in America. How’d you like to be the iceman? Elks in the Yosemite Valley are wearing new fur coats of light tan, but don’t tell wife. Twenty-six prisoners in the Clairvaux prison,, in Paris, were released for their courage in fighting a fire. The fire wasn’t the only thing that was put out.

Misrepresentations Neither the wilting heat of midsummer nor the excitement of the presidential campaign has diverted the private power industry from its campaign, launched two years ago, to prevent, at all cost, Government construction of Boulder Dam. With undiminished ardor the work is being continued through the recess of Congress. The other day the Washiogtson Post devoted the first column of its editorial page to expounding typical power company misstatements concerning the Boulder Dam project. “This is a very nebulous proposition,” said the Post editorial. “Engineering problems going to the very heart of the project have not even been attacked, much less solved.” The truth is that Government engineers have studied this project for twenty-two years. Their findings fill some seventeen volumes. have found tha project is feasible and have planned the manner in which It shall be built. "Congress should go cautiously in this matter because a conflict has arisen among the States concerned,” says the editorial. Facts developed before the Federal trade commission in its power investigation revealed that the power industry is at work to keep one or more legislatures out of the Colorado River compact. It is fostering the very dissension that it uses as an excuse for inaction. “Although President Coolidge once or twice referred favorably to the project, it became apparent later that bis growing opposition to Government intrusion into the domain of private enterprise caused him to look askance at Boulder Dam,” says the editor! al. iSach message of President Coolidge to Congress for the past three sessions, including the last, has Boulder Dam project. "The cost of the dam is $125,000,000, all of It falling upon the United States treasury,” says the editorial. ' t * t Asa matter of truth, the project will cost the United States Government not one cent, under the Swing-Johnson bill. No work on the dam can be started until contracts have been completed reimbursing the treasury from sale of water and power for every cent it- loans during construction, together with 4 per cent interest on the total. The New Pony Express Nothing better typifies the American urge for speed than the development of the mail service. Whatever shortcomings, it has always responded to the demand of business. Yesterday the pony express, cutting the days required for crossing the plains; today the air mail, cutting the minutes required for crossing the clouds. The new flve-cent rate on air mail offers a striking commentary on the development of aviation in the United States. The postal department again is a pioneer in rapid transit, pointing the way to commerce and industry. Postmaster New is right in his statement that the air mail has justified itself. Business men who use the air mail find it of major Importance. The public should employ it more and more, not only for the expediting of business, but for the part it plays in aviation in all its branches. It must not be forgotten that the Flying Mailman who hopped the Atlantic but a little more than a year ago, served his apprenticeship carrying letters few Uncle Sam. Young couple is planning on being married in the Hollywood bowl which seats 20,000 people. The bride has kissed herself into something.

David Dietz on Science . Turns to Magical Rites No. 123

MANY authorities believe that both medicine and religion had a common origin in the practice of magic. This is not an unreasonable view, for we find the beginnings of almost every science surrounded

verse with spirits. The wind was a spirit. So was the lightning, the rain and the sun. He developed crude religions in which the chief business of the priest was to intercede for him with these powerful spirits or to control them by magical rites. Early man naturally turned to his priests to use magic to cure him of sickness. But many of these priests were observing. They learned from their constant contact with the sick and injured. / Asa result, much sound practice grew up along with much nonsensical magical practice. Magic is still invoked today. There are many tribes in Africa, Asia, Australia and South Am'erica who still turn to the practice of magic. Beliefs in spells, hoodoos, and the like, are common among the Negroes of the southern part of the United States. The early use of herbs for the cure of disease was a combination of magical practice and observation. Some herbs were undoubtedly used because they had been found to give relief in certain cases. But in others, the use was clearly a magical one. . For example, the plant called eye-bright was used for centuries to treat sore eyes simply because a black dot in the flower suggests the human eye. There was a feeling that this plant had been marked in this way by nature to suggest its use to man. Other plants were used as the result of similar misguided reasoning. The development of man’s understanding of nature, of health and sickness, was a slow one. The victory is a recent one as time must be reckoned in the history of the race and it is not yet a complete one.

M. E. TRACY SAYS: “The Indifference of Our Industrial Leaders to Aviation Promises to Lose Us the Lead in International Air Trade Exactly as Their Indifference to Shipping Has Lost Us Leadership in Maritime Trade ”

Governor smith takes the Rev. John Roach Straton too seriously. With the exception of a few zealots, no one pays much attention to what he says. His assertions, no matter with what subject they deal, are far too loose to appeal to rational minds, and the other kind do not count. While one is compelled to admire the Governor’s courage, it does seem as though he might offer the people of this country something more worthwhile than a wordswapping match with a pulpiteer who has long since established such a reputation for bias that fairminded people take little stock in whathe says. John Roach Straton would cut no figure at all if the New York papers did not give him ten times the publicity he deserves. Even with their kindly offices, he cuts a small one. a a a One Way and Another At 8:30 Monday morning the Italian submarine F-14 was sunk by collision with a destroyer in 130 feet of water. It was just such a tragedy as happened to the American submarines S-4 off Provincetown last winter and S-55 in Long Island Sound two years ago. Every- j one will recall how long it took the j American Navy not only to raise ! those submarines, but to establish communication, connect air lines i and make the necessary prepara- | tions. Within twenty-four hours the Italian navy had succeeded in establishing communication by radiophone, In attaching air tubes to the submarine, in placing chains and in completing the actual work of raising her. The fact that something happened to break communications leading to fatal results w r hen one end of the submarine had been elevated 100 feet does not spoil this record. The point being that the Italian navy accomplished in twenty-four hours what our Navy seemed unable to accomplish in a much longer time. tt a u Lessons Unlearned The two great English dirigibles. R-100 and R-101, approach completion. The veil of secrecy sur- 1 rounding their construction has been lifted. Newspaper men have been permitted to inspect and describe them. We learn that they are not only the largest, but the most thoroughly equipped airships ever built. With a capacity of 5,000,000 cubic feet of gas, each of these ships will be capable af carrying 100 passengers in addition to a crew of forty. They not only have sleeping cabins, but dining and lounge rooms. The lounge room measures 33x64 feet. The important feature of this story consists in the fact that these ships are being built in England and that the United States has nothing with which to match them. The indifference of our industrial leaders to aviation promises to lose us the lead in international air trade, exactly as their indifference to shipping has lost us leadership in maritime trade, a a a War of Phantoms Airplanes that can not be heard or seen are promised for the next war. European governments already have been sufficiently successful with their experiments to make this certain. Mufflers, eight-blade propellers and camouflage painting are about to rob civilization of its best defense against ghastly and wholesale murder from the skies. Some believe that if we can make war terrible enough, fright will drive men to abandon it. It is a comforting thought, especially for those who are busying themselves with the invention of deadly devices. The idea is as old as the hills. From time immemorial men have believed that they were made better through fear. The hell-fire gospel that played such a part in the religious conceptions of 200 years ago, capital punishment and the conviction that those who believed in a Day of Judgment were more likely to tell the truth than those who did not illustrate the point. a a a Throw-Back On his deathbed, John Marshall, Montgomery, Ala., signed a statement to the effect that his wife had shot him. That statement, more than anything else, led to her conviction and death sentence. Attorneys now ask a reversal of the case, on the ground that Marshall was an atheist. It is their contention that an unbeliever’s word should not enjoy the same standing in court as that of a Christian. That is an obsolete, rather than a novel idea. According to old English law, the evidence of an atheist was not admissible, the assumption being that a person who did not fear punishment in the hereafter had no compelling motive to tell the truth. Modern jurisprudence has discarded this relic of the Dark Ages, in our courts, evidence is not rated by belief. The Christian, Jew, Mohameden or Agnostic are accepted as equally reliable. It is taken for granted that people have become sufficiently civilized to understand the practical advantage of truth, and that dread of a hell is no longer necessary to make them reasonably honest. This Alabama case suggests nothing so distinctly as a reversion to ancient prejudices and superstition.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN ( Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine. ALTHOUGH the public has been warned repeatedly against the danger of wearing tan shoes that recently have been dyed black or brown, physicians continue to report cases of serious illness resulting from this error. Most of the cases are the result of poisoning by aniline, nitrobenzene or similar dye substances. The first symptom is a general blueness of the body beginning from one-half to several hours after the shoes are put on. This blueness is the result of a change in the blood brought on by the action of the dye on the oxygencarrying powers of the blood. Associated with the blueness is a general weakness, headache, dizziness, nausea and sometimes complete prostration. Dr. John Aikman of Rochester, N. Y., recently reported three cases that occurred in that city. A boy 6 years old had worn shoes that i had beep dyed four clays before. The shoes were put on about 11:30 in the morning. The boy began to turn blue about 2:40 in the after- i noon. j The blueness improved when the shoes were removed and returned j the next day when the shoes were ■ put on. The symptoms were so serious that it was thought the child had j an epileptic attack. However, when the sheets were removed the child ! had no further symptoms. A few days later the child sud- j denly fainted again. The mother ; found that the child had discovered the shoes in the attic two hours before and had put them on. A boy 13 years old came home one evening and fell on the flfloor from weakness. In the morning it was noticed that he was blue and he complained of a severe headache. Bridge Play Made Easy BY W. IV.

With Other Editors

(Ft. lVavne Journal-Gazette) Ed Jackson, Governor of Indiana, was indicted and tried for a felofty—that crime being that he had tried to bribe Warren T. MteCray to make criminal prostitution of his high office when he was in the Governor’s chair. George V. Coffin, then Republican chairman of Marion County and now a member of the Republican State committee for the Seventh (Indianapolis) congressional district, was indicted with Jackson. So was Robert I. Marsh, Jackson’s law partner. Jackson was proved guilty, for he offered no evidence in disproof of what the State put in against him. He pleaded that the statute of limitations had run against his crime and the court instructed the jury to return a verdict accordingly and the jury did. That let Coffin and Marsh out. The relations of Arthur R. Robinson, now a Senator of the' United States, with D. C. Stephenson and the Ku-Klux Klan, have been the ugly gossip and a dirty scandal of the State for almost thre years. Robinson was appointed to the Senate by Governor Jackson to fill the vacancy occassioned by the death of Senator Samuel M. Ralston. David Curtis Stephenson, from his jail cell in Noblesville, where he was undergoing trial for murder of a young woman, dictated the appointment of Robinson. George V. Coffin had a hand in that also, and Coffin was one of Stephenson's buddies in politics and in the Klan. The political affairs of Art Robinson were denounced as political malice and splenetic gossip for a time, but the “black boxes” of Stephenson were at length procured and opened. Robinson’s relations with Stephenson were proved. John L. Duvall, bounced and convicted mayor of Indianapolis, was involved in the Stephenson disclosures. He had sold out his administration to Stephenson in advance of election for the Klan support which made his election possible. Ralph E. Updike, Klansman, Congressman from the Seventh District, Stephenson pal and servitor, did the same thing. A Marion Colinty grand jury advised the public that the reason Congressman Updike was not indicted as Duvall had been, was because the statute of limitations clearly had run against his offense. Updike has been renominated and is now running on the Republican ticket for re-election. Congressman Harry Rowbottom of the Evansville district was tarred with that stick likewise. To know the truth one has only to consult the records, the files of Republican and the speeches made in the primary campaign iby Republican candidates for Senator and Governor —Arthur L. Gilliom, Solon J. Carter, Thomas H. Adams and Fred Landis. You then learn what Republicans themselves thought of the welter of corruption and infamy in which the dominant group of the Indiana Republican party has been and still is fallowing. These things arc down in black and white. The old crowd which wrought the shame is still in the saddle. It has control of the party. Its men are at the head of the State ticket. They will better the situation In no respect if they get Into office. It will ‘be the same old crowd and the same old dirty thing all over again If they win.

disappear until the shoes were removed. After the shoes had stood for four days in the air, the boy wore them ' again without any effects. The public should again be warned that when tan shoes are dyed black and the source and the nature of the dyes are not definitely known, the shoes should be allowed to stand In the air for several days before they are worn.

And now the people of Indiana are told by the Republican leaders that the State ticket must be elected to save the State to Herbert Hoover. They are solemnly assured that they have “nothing to apologize for.” They are appealed to for support in behalf of a once patriotic and reputable party which has been seized and prostituted by base and ruthless politicians out for themselves. Will that appeal win? Can intelligent and decent Republicans be deceived and tricked and again betrayed by the old crowd pursuing the old course for the old purpose? We do not believe it. There is something for which there is to do more than apologize. There are crimes to be requited, rascals to be exposed, a prostrated State to be lifted up and redeemed.

Juno sent a monster named Sphinx to ravage the territory of Thebes. This monster had been taught riddles by the Muses, and she propounded one to the Thebans: “What is that which has one voice, is four-footed, two-footed and at last three-footed?” or, as some have it, “What animal is that which goes on four feet in the morning, on two at noon and on three in the evening?” An oracle told the Thebans that they would not be delivered from the Sphinx until they had solved her riddle. They often assembled to try their skill, but as often failed, when the Sphinx always carried off and devoured one of their number) At length Oedipus came forward and gave the correct answer: “Man, who when an infant creeps on all fours, at manhood stands erect on two legs and in old age hobbles about with the aid of a crutch.” Has a steamship ever been operated by radio without any one being on board? Several years ago the old battleship U. S. S. lowa was fitted for radio control and used by the fleet in target practice. The was propelled by her steam-driven engines, fuel being fed automatically under the boilers. No one was on board the lowa during the period of this practice. By radio control the ship was steered from a distance by the control vessel and the speed was regulated in the same manner. Does skim milk supply the same nutriment in the diet as whale milk? Skim milk contains much less fat than whole milk and is not so rich in flavor, but it has a large or larger proportion of protein, carbonhydrate, and ash. Protein is the most costly nutriment in the average diet and most difficult to attain in inexpensive meals, but skim milk supplies it in a cheap and useful form. Skim milk, therefore, may greatly increase the nutritive value of the diet if freely used in cooking or as a beverage in case the supply of whole milk is limited.

KEEPING UP With . THE NEWS

UNIVERSITY, Va., Aug. B.—They are picking on Kellogg and the State Department here at the University of Virginia Institute of Public Affairs. Practically all the speakers at the round tables and forums on LatinAmerica attack what they call American imperialism. Not that these speakers are so-called radicals. None of them is a Communist or Socialist, or even a representative 1 of a peace organization. But as political scientists and professors of International law, these good Democrats and Republicans object strenuously on legal and moral grounds to the Yankee intervention policy. And the speakers from Latin-American countries feel even more strongly on this subject. Any idea that the much advertised anti-war pact, which Kellogg is going to sign in Paris this month, will protect our Caribbean neighbors from us or restrain our military rule in those “independent” countries, is simply laughed out of these forums. Here, for instance, is the sober Dr. John H. Latane of Johns Hopkins University, leader of these discussions, conservative enough to oppose the proposed legislation to take from the President the discretionary power of military intervention. Abuses of which Latane thinks should be corrected by public opinion. Says Latane: “The anti-war pact proposed by Secretary Kellogg would not in any way affect such a situation as Nicaragua. So far none of the Latin-American states has been invited to unite in this pact, and even if they should become parties to it, we would, under the Monroe doctrine object to European powers having anything to say. “In view of this situation, England very cleverly has advanced a Monroe Doctrine of her own, and has agreed to sign the anti-war pact with a vague reservation covering apparently Egypt, India, Afghanistan, and other regions in which she has special interests. a a a “'’y'ODAY Latin America is the main field of American commercial and financial exploitation, and the Monroe doctrine has been transformed from a benevolent policy of protection into the chief Instrument of American emperialism. We are, as a matter of fact, with the exception of England, the most imperialistic Nation on earth. “Plutocratic interests always endeavor to use the armed forces of the country in backing up their foreign enterprises. We are facing one of the greatest struggles in American history, the struggle between imperialism and democracy.” Replying to the claim that it intervenes only to* protect American lives and property, Latane said: “The marines were landed in Nicaragua to protect Americans firing in Wall Street.” He cited Secretary Mellon and the Gulf Oil Company as an example of the close connection between American business interests and foreign policy, and charged tha administration with “threatening war against Mexico to protect Doheny and Sinclair's Mexican oil titles, some of which were obtained fraudulently.” International arbitration is tha only just way to settle Caribbean disputes, and the only justified intervention is collective action after juridicial decision, according to Dr. Victor Belaunde, a Peruvian from Miami University. Frederico A. Pezet, former ambassador from Peru to the United States, joined in the chorus denying this country the right of intervention. a a a MISS ANNIE S. PECK, wrter on Latin - American affairs, charged marine cruelty and disruption of representative native government for the benefit of American financial interests in countries of American occupation such as the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Nicaragua. The only dissenters were Guy Stevens and Butler Sherwell. Stevens, as director of the Association of Petroleum Producers in Mexico, defended the course of the oil companies. He said all the courts had acquitted Doheny and Sinclair. But Latane quoted the Supreme Court decisions, “condemning certain of their transactions as fraudulent and corrupt.” Sherwell, Latin-American research committee of Columbia University, said, “Intervention in the Caribbean is not due entirely to serving the selfish ends of the United States.” Count Carlo Sforza, former Italian ambassador to France, without touching on the western hemisphere, argued that in. Europe and the far east the forces of democracy are more significant than the post-war dictatorships. While condemning the Russian dictatorship and, by inference, fascism, he did not specifically mention tlaly and Mussolini. The reversal to “autocracy” in such countries as Hungary and Spain should not be discouraging because they never were really democratic, according to the count. “Nationalistic, militaristic Japan, as it is still thought of in Europe and America, is a thing of the past, despite appearances,” said Sforza. European recovery has been most rapid where popular freedom and democratic rule have remained untouched.” He deplored the Idea that diplomacy is a mysterious technical thing, emphasizing that foreign policy is safest when under control of democratic public opinion.
