[ Exit Rozelle The resignation of Frank Rozelle as United States marshal for the northern district of this State, on the eve of a gathering of the Federal grand jury and the summoning of many of the customers of the mail order business of which he is the owner, is not only important but gratifying. Rozelle says that his business is legitimate and he denies the charge of Robert Hicks, the South Whitley nemesis of mail order frauds, that the business is fraudulent. The charge of Hicks was not new. lie had made it often in the past few years. He had made it many times before Rozelle was ipade an officer of the Federal Court through senatorial indorsements. His resignation is said to have come after interviews recently in Washington with <fche Department of Justice. That is significant. For the record shews that while Senator Robinson was publicly avowing his faith in Rozelle, a letter from Senator Watson to the department declared that there should be a full inquiry and that if the charges were wellfounded Rozelle should not be permitted to remain in office. It remains to be seen whether the Federal inquiry will remain in charge of District Attorney Loomis, a former secretary of Senator Robinson, who stands charged by Hicks with endeavoring to smother the Rozelle investigation a few weeks ago. Hicks charged that- when he appeared as a witness before the jury that Loomis talked to him privately and asked whether he would be satisfied to drop the charge if Rozelle were to quietly permit his mail order business to cease operations. The Rozelle matter is important only as indicating the necessity of anew deal in this State and the thorough clean-up of the forces which have controlled during the past four years. Rozelle was important politically. He ran the speakers’ bureau under Clyde Walb, his fellow townsman who is now sojourning at Leavenworth. Rozelle also boasted that he was called upon by Governor Jackson to persuade members of the Legislature to vote “right” on laws which the Governor wanted. He got his job as marsh 1 as a reward for political services, not because of his mail order “home work’ activities. It is not accident or carelessness that men have been picked for political preferment who become embarrassing to those who appoint them when publicity strikes. It would be miraculous if the gang which controlled the State and which hopes through Leslie and Robinson, working with Boss Coffin and the Anti-Saloon Leagu6 to continue in power, had selected men who can stand the limelight. “Birds of a feather flock together,” declared Senator Robinson, whose protege resigns and gets out of the official picture. Well, for once, The Times agrees with 'Arthur.

Light On Power Disputes The Federal Power Commission wisely has decided to conduct public hearings in its disputes with licensed hydro-electric companies over amounts that legitimately can be added to the fixed capital o: such enterprises. An airing of these disputes, involving many millions of dollars, will contribute to badly needed public education on the subject of utility regulation. Since rates for electricity are based in substantial part on what the companies succeed in getting approved by State commission as fixed capital, there is a great incentive to pad this figure by obtaining allowance for questionable promotion fees, etc. Utility experts assert that not a few power companies have succumbed to the temptation to pad their capital accounts, and that sleepy and subservient public commissions have frequently allowed them to get away with it. The Federal Power Commission has responsibility for seeing that the capital accounts of hydro-electric companies licensed by it, at present claiming an investment of over $700,000,000, are not padded, because the Federal water power act empowers the Government to take over these companies at the end of a fifty-year license period for what was actually invested in them. In the past the power commission has endeavored to iron out disputes over these accounts by negotiation. Now is proposes to have companies licensed by it. defend at open hearings, additions to fixed capita which it thinks should be thrown out. The records of such hearings should provide an important basis of comparison for the work of the various State commissions, and focus national attention on the problem of effective public utility regulation. The Dangers of Sunburn The sun’s rays possess health-giving qualities, ana It is fine to expose one’s body to them. Young children, in particular, need sunlight; shut off from it they cannot grow properly. Yet -it is possible to overdo the matter. Get a coat of tan, by all means; but'avbid sunburn. And if you have a child, make his “sun baths’ rather short. A child’s skin burns more easily than an adult’s. If you expose nis naked body to the sun too long the consequences may be tragic. Newport (R. I.) woman discovered the loss of a diamond plaque at the close ot a society ball. The bawl usually comes after the jewelry Is lost.

Civil Service The principle of merit examinations for positions in the city service should be very firmly established in the city government. The city council will have public support in that effort. But it must be a real civil service which will entirely eliminate political pull and preference from either obtaining or holding jobs on the city pay roll. The policy of giving out jobs on the police force and elsewhere in return for political activities, which pre-vailed-under the old political administrations, has created conditions which need attention quite as much as the method of placing new men in the service. Under a political regime, mere years of tenure might suggest unfitness, rather than fitness. The man who could deliver the most votes rather than the best service was likely to last the longest. Strict examination as to fitness and ability to give a day’s intelligent work for a day’s pay is essential and no man should suffer ss of position or promotion because of his political opinions. But it is also important to include means of removing from the public service those who obtained their jobs by pull and are either unfit or unwilling to give real service to the public. Dr. Butler’s Disassociation Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University and a staunch Republican, has written the New York Times that he wishes to “disassociate himself’’ from the stand Herbert Hoover has taken cn prohibition and national defense. It is not difficult to agree with Dr. Butler's general position on prohibition. He realizes the abuses that have grown up—“the present reign of lawlessness, debauchery and government made crime’’—and wants these abuses ended. He is willing to face the facts, and seek their solution, and eventually that must be done. As regards national defense, his attitude seems extreme. He takes Hoover to task for his advocacy of “adequate preparedness for defense,” and argues that it has been proved fallacious that adequate armament is a factor in maintaining peace. He reads into Hoover’s acceptance speech the idea that America’s armaments must be so great that other nations will fear us. There is nothing in Hoover’s speech to justify this view. Hoover would maintain peace by "the building of good will by wise and sympathetic handling of international relations and the adequate preparedness for defense.” He would cooperate with the League of Nations particularly in its efforts to secure limitation of armament. He supports arbitration and the settlement of disputes through international law. He asserts, “we have been and we are particularly desirous of furthering the 'imitation of armaments.” Nowhere in Hoover’s speech is there any jingoistic declaration, nor is there anything that might be construed as a threat to any other nation. True, Haover asserts “we must and shall maintain our naval defense and our merchant marine in the strength and efficiency which will yield to us at all times the primary assurance of liberty, that is, of national safety.” The American people will support him in this. The world is armed America repeatedly has demonstrated her willingness to go along with other powers in the reduction cf armaments, and has taken the leadership in what has been accomplished in that direction. But America can not proceed alone. Dr. Butler apparently proposes complete pacifism for this country’s role; we are not to be prepared to defend ourselves if necessity arises, but are to rely on the inherent goodness of the rest of the world when there is a dispute. Dr. Butler’s dream of a world in which all is peace and forbearance will find a responsive echo in the hearts of all Americans, for as a nation we do not like war. Unhappily, however, the time has not yet arrived when we can strip ourselves of the means of protection.

Dietz on Science Fire, Air, Earth, Water No. 134 MODERN theories, developed within the last century and proved by the most delicate and elaborate sort of experimentation, in many cases are theories which were given their first formulation by the ancient Greeks. This fact, more than any other, causes us to have so high a regard for the Greeks. It is amazing to see how they in some way sensed the facts of nature. The atomic theory which we regard as a product of our own time

tions of the Greeks. The idea of the existence of basic elements was first put forward by Empedocles of Agrigentum. His list of elements seems fantastic to us today. But let us not forget that he set the world thinking along the right track. He listed fire, air, earth and water as the four elements. All things, he believed, were made up of these four. Empedocles was a physician as well as a poet, a statesman and a religious teacher. In the early days of civilization, it was possible for one man to concern himself with many things. Empedocles taught that health was the result of the proper balance of equilibrium between the four elements, fire, air, earth and water in the human body. He believed that there were four essential qualities connected with these four elements, namely, heat and cold, moisture and dryness. Later physicians built upon this idea, the theory which became known as the doctrine of humors. This was the theory that the body was pervaded by certain juices or humors, as they were called, and that health depended upon the condition of these fluids. That theory has of course been abandoned. But again, it is interesting to note that it was vaguely on the right track. We know today that 'the ductless glands do pour secretions into the blood stream and that these secretions have much to do with health. The failure of any gland, for example, may lead to serious disease. Empedocles attained a high reputation during his lifetime and thousands flocked to him for treatment and advice.

M. E. TRACY SAYS: “It Seems' Peculiar That We Should Be Paying So Much More Attention to What Presidential Candidates Say on thd Liquor Issue Than to the Election of Congressmen.”

VIOLENTLY disagreeing with Hoover’s stand on prohibition and preparedness, and declaring that “no candidate of my party for the presidency can commit -me or countless others like me to any such doctrines,” Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, cries in the voice of Patrick Henry, “if that be treason, make the most of it.” It is not treason, and that spoils the drama. Those very principles whfbh Butler invokes to prove his point permit any citizen to disagree with any other citizen at any time. Ail Butler has done is bolt the Republican platform and the Republican candidate on two important points. Even if he has the courage to carry his convictions to their logical conclusion and vote for Governor Smith, he still could not be classified as a traitor. Dragging in such a thought shows how much too seriously he takes himself aad his ideas at this particular moment. He has not gone as far as thousands of other good people in this campaign—John J. Raskob, for instance, who voted the Republican ticket four years ago; Senator Owen, who, though a lifelong Democrat, is now supporting Hoover, or William R. Pattengall of* Maine, who has followed his wife out of the Democratic party. Compared to what such men have done, Butler’s statement seems an empty gesture. If he is so earnest and sincere as he pretends, the obvious thing for him to do is throw in his lot with the Democratic party. a a a Must Enforce Laws Considering the structure of this Government, and more especially the division of that structure into three distinct branches—executive, legislative and judicial—ls it quite logical to attach such importance to what presidential candidates say with regard to an article of the Constitution, whether we believe in its re- . tention of repeal? The veriest notive must know that the President of the United States; can not alter the law of the land, | much less a provision of the Con- ] stitution. The most he can do is make recommendations to Congress. Outside of that his sworn duty is to enforce the law, regardless of whether he, as an individual, likes it or not. To a layman, it looks as though a good many people—Nicholas Murray Butler among them —were depending on the executive branch of the Government for legislation. Is that in accord with the Constitution. or the well-established principles of this Government? On the other hand, is it not in accord with the philosophy of dictatorship? tt a tt Folly to Ignore Laws I happen to be one of those who believe not only that the Volstead Act should be modified, but that the Eighteenth Amendment should be altered. I believe this because of a feeling that both are contrary to the spirit of the Constitution and our traditions. For that very reason I do not want to see the Volstead Act modified, or the Eighteenth Amendment changed, except as it can be done in strict accord with that same spirit. If we are to keep faith with the ideals of our fathers it would be folly to ignore them in one respect for the sake of attaining them in another . Prohibition as represented by the Eighteenth Amendment and Volstead Act is no more contrary to the spirit of the Constitution and our traditions than is the hallucination that it can be modified, or repealed except in the usual way. tt a u Right to Unmake Laws We face no mystery. We have just as much right to unmake laws as we have to make them. The same methods by which the Eighteenth Amendment w’as adopted and the Volstead Act authorized are available for their repeal or modification. Any time Congress is willing to change the latter, we can have it changed, and any time three-fourths of the States are willing to modify or repeal the former, we can do that. The President, howevt \ can do nothing but recommend, and that is futile, unless Congress is ready to take favorable action. tt a tt Power in Congress In view of this situation, it seems peculiar that we should be paying so much more attention to what presidential candidates say than to the election of Senators and Representatives. Hoover’s dry declaration means little, unless he has a dry Congress to back it up. By the same token, Governor Smith’s wet attitude means little, unless he has a wet Congress to back it up. In spite of this obvious fact, the campaign, whether for rigid enforcement of modification, not only centers around what these two men say, but blithely disregards the congressional line-up. Putting aside the question of whether such an attitude conforms to the spirit of the Constitution and our traditions, it certainly does not conform to common sense. As between effective law enforcement and nullification, the President has it within his power to do a great deal. As between the repeal and retention of present laws, he has no power, except that of suggestion. It looks as if those interested in repeal or modification should paymore attention to the selection of Congressmen.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

This Is hte first of a series of three articles on the human voice and how it is best used. Tomorrow: Vocal Defects. BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the Amrrlran Medical Association and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine. THE organs of speech include the lips, the tongue, the gums, the palate and the lower jaw as well as the uvula. The uvula is the little tip which comes down from the soft palate to divide the throat cavity in two parts. Absence of the teeth causes an unnecessary escape of air and defective pronounciation of the sounds "f” and “th”; when these sounds are made the tongue or lips rest against the teeth. When pronouncing "f,” the lower lip comes in contact with the upper teeth. When pronouncing “th.” the tongue comes in contact with the upper teeth. Receding gums or physical abnormalties of the jaw interfere with the “t” sound. The purpose of the soft palate and uvula is to close the space back of the nose for all sounds except the nasal sounds “n,” "m,” and “ng.” If the palate is paralyzed, the voice sounds dull and dead. Exercise of the soft palate and uvula may be brought about by opening the mouth wide and saying “ah-ah.” If the person watches himself in the mirror, he wil see the palate and uvula rise to the occasion. The same action takes place in yawning. If the lower jaw projects too far, the lips do not meet properly and the person has trouble in saying “f,” “v,” "p,” “b,” and “m,” and sometimes troubles with, the “s.” On the other hand, if the lower

jaw is too short and receding the “S” sound is too prominent and may even sound like “sh.” In order to say “s,” “n,” “t,” “f” and “v,” the upper lip must be raised. Speakers and singers practice movements of the lips in order to obtain facility in such pronunciation. The tongue is the organ that gives most trouble to singers. The following exercises are for singers who wish to obtain good control of this important organ: Push the tongue out of the mouth as far as possible and downward toward the chin. Push the tongue out of the mouth as far as possible and upward toward the nose, even touching the nose.

Times Readers Voice Views

The name and address of the author must accompany every constrtbution. but on request will not be published. Letters not exceeding 200 words will receive preference. Editor Times—The editorial on “Constitutional Rights” in Satur day’s issue is really fine and topical, and congratulations are due you for seizing t pon a theme so apt and timely as it is. Especially is it so in view of an incident which occurred right under our noses here recently. The case qf Charles H. Krause, reported singularly enough in the same issue of The Times, is the matter in question. He was arrested and fined $lO for interfering with police activities in dispersing a crowd to whom he was talk'ng outside the Block store at Illinois and arket Sts. This letter is particularly about his case and the issue of free speech involved. The matter, I believe, is of the first importance, Krause being an American citizen with the same right to express any opinion he might have about thing as another. His meeting was broken up. Why? The pretext is that it obstructed triffle won’t hold, for the Volunteers of America hold meetings almost every night at the same corner, and the crowds they gather are always much larger than any group that Krause can collect about him Then why the discrimination? Krause is always nard to listen to—at least I have ‘ound him so But what has that to do with his right to speak his piece at a place where others are allowed to speak theirs? THe matter Is worth considering. A matter of very precious and common right under the constitution is involved and at stake here Fair play, too. Let the corner be free for all 01 none; or a place definitely assigned by the city for open and public discussion. What about Krause’s rights anyway, as an American citizen? T .s the matter not worth singling out and commenting on? What do your readers think? What does the editor of The Times think? What must any thinking person think? Are some to be privileged, and some not, in the matter of free speech? What about questions of this sort, and who will answer them? This letter is to ask them, and to register a protest, too, against the discriminatory action shown bv the authorities against Krause. G. F. Editor Times'—The effort the present city administration is bringing forth in maintaining a police band raises an interesting question in the minds of the taxpayers of our city whether such a band ever serves a useful purpose, especially at a time when the leed for policemen to lnforce the law has never been greater. While bandits and hold-up men are running wild, and with ganginfested neighborhoods in many parts of the city, the police band just recently was engaged to play in the east end of the city. Considering the time required for practice, rehearsals and performance of police as musicians .time frhich may be required for police duty, and when demand is made for additional policemen, we have a situation that ought hot to be perpetuated. People pay taxes primarily to hire them as policemen and not as musicians. The sensible thing to do then would De to keep policemen on police duty Would the administration not agree that suppressing of crime lust now is the uppermost police duty?

Point, the tip of the tongue upward and downward alternately for a count of ten. Rotate the tongue to the right, then down, then to the left, then up. Repeat ten times. Protrude the tongue, grooving it at the same time by raising both sides. * Curl the tip of the tongue back of the front upper teeth with the mouth wide open. Repeat ten times. Press the tip of the tongue back of the front lower teeth. Press and relax for ten times. Let the tongue lie flat on the floor of the mouth, with special care that the front, middle or back are not elevated.

It may well be questioned whether, when th-j need for policemen, who should be only policemen, is so great, there should be any diversion of any of them from the duty and functions of policemen to the field of music, as it has not yet oeen found that music, no matter how harmonious, ever has sooth’d the savage breast of the bandit, burglar or hold-up man. The police chief may be right in his urgent plea for more men by reason of the present unsatisfactory condition, but the greater the need, the more imperative is the duty to make the best possible use of those we now have. While it is realized that a policeman’s lot is not a happy one, it does not alter the fact in the minds of the citizens that just now there is need for the sternest action, the completest utilization of the whole force in a campaign for the protection of the property and lives of our citizens.

Hoover Again Views Scknes of Childhood

BY RAY TUCKER XX7EST BRANCH, lowa, Aug. 2t ’ —Herbert Hoover's birthplace is a respecting, self-contained and friendly place. It walks in the fear of the Lord, as it did when Hoover used to sit for hours in the Quaker meeting house without daring to wiggle his toes, but it believes in making the most out of this world. There is no great wealth here, but neither are there any signs of poverty. Neat but modest wooden homes of mid-Victorian architecture, buried behind vines and latticed flowers, fringe the two main thoroughfares and the few branching streets that soon straggle out .nto the flat countryside encircling the town on all four sides. West Branch is content with its peace and sunlight. It is satisfied with present population of 750 souls housed in 150 comfortable homes, and never quarrels with the census statistics. The most pretentious structure in the place is the moaern high school. The Quaker meeting house, now a movie palace, and several other churches are the only buildings of any size. tt tt tt pvESPITE agricultural depressions, West Branch declines to skimp on the education of its sons and daughters or neglect their religious training. In these respects it has not changed much since Hoover spent his first ten years here. In fact, on arriving early this morning. Hoover said the town differed very little from his boyhood. Cooks Hill, where he used to coast, seems to have lost some of its awful distance and steepness. The swimming hole near the railroad bridge seems in need of deepening and dredging. But the man who came back to his home town as a candidate ror. the highest office in the world, thua realizing the dream of almost every American boy, could hardly be expected to gaze uflon these familiar scenes through the eyes of childhood. Even before he became a presidential candidate, Hoover was n frequent visitor here. With the curiosity of a boy, orphaned at ten, he has again and again sought information about his father and mother, Jesse and Huldah Hoover, whose graves lie on the hill top above the stop where he will speak tonight. a tt a HOOVER'S father was the village blacksmith, and a good name on the tombstone reads the inscription: “Come unto me, ailye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest—Matt.' 11.28.” On the small headstone over Huldah Hoover's grave is the inscription: “For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them which sleep with Jesus willGod bring with Him.” The story is that Hoover's mother, who survived his. father by a few years, worried over the conspicuousness of her husband's grave, it was the first in the new l cemetery, and had workmen sink the base. Huldah was earnest and bestirring in the things of the spirit. Her husband, though a devout Quaker, seems to have been of a livelier temperament. He was progressive and made opportunities for himself. He also made money. He soon added a line of implements and opened a store, inserting" the following ad in the county, papers in 1879: “Ho, for Kansas. But if you do not go there, go to, J. C. Hoover and buy your farming implements. Come and see me, for I will not be beat in quality or price. J. C. Hoover.”

What was the day and hour of the inauguration of Millard Fillmore as President of the United States? July 10, 1850, at noon in the hall of the House of Representatives. What is the meaning of the word malapropism? Any grotesque misapplication of words; also any word thus misapplied. Where may one write for information. concerning, eligibility, to membership in the D. A. It.? Communicate with the secretarygeneral, Mrs. Herbert M. Lord, Memorial Continental Hall, Washington, D. C. Does the Government still maintain an 'udian School at Carlisle, Pa.? The school was turned over to the War Department during the World War and is now a hospital. A m-'dical unit of the army is stationed there. ‘ K How many deaths occurred in coal mine disasters in 1926? The total number of deaths in coal mine disasters in 1926 was 2,514. "'he rate was 3.79 per million tons of coal. How is "drachm” prono: need? •' "Dram.” Who are the highest paid motion picture stars? Tom Mix and Gloria Swanson are said to receive the highest salaries, reported to be $17,500 a week. What is the largest United States gun and how far will it shoot? The largest gun shoots a 16-inch shell 49,140 yards, which is a little more than twenty-two r v '”'s. How many species of moths and b tterflies are there? More than 50,000 species have been and this number probably does not represent onefifth of the total.
