Seventy-Four New Warships? Naval officials, it is reported, again are prepared to urge adoption of Secretary Wilbur’s program calling for the construction of seventy-four vessels at a cost of $740,000,000, at the December session of Congress. The reports come as something of a shock, since the ink is hardly dry on the treaty renouncing war, signed by the powers in Paris on invitation of the United States. Wilbur’s expansion program, it will be recalled, stirred up a furore in Congress and throughout the country. The House, instead of approving it, voted for the construction of fifteen cruisers, while the Senate did nothing at all. The house bill is before the Senate for action in December. The Navy wanted twenty-five cruisers, five aircraft carriers, and other vessels, all to be laid down within five years and completed in eight. Wilbur revealed that this program was in fact only a part of a twenty-year program, entailing the eventual expenditure of $2,500,000,000 or $3,000,000,000— nobody seemed to know exactly how much. We abundantly were warned before the Paris treaty was signed that it was not to serve as justiflca- ' tion for armament reduction. Most persons will agree that this country must maintain armaments as long as other nations do. Treaty or no treaty, the time has not yet arrived when the country is willing to rely wholly cn the good faith of other nations for its security. The maintenance of adequate armaments is one thing, however, and the ambitious program advocated by the Navy quite another. Congress and the public, * we believe, will reject Wilbur’s program even more emphatically this winter than they did last. A $10,000,000 Business The booze business pays in Philadelphia. A dozen or more big bootleggers have deposited $10,000,000 in Philadelphia banks within the past year, it has been learned in connection with a grand jury investigation. The fortunes were made under protection of sawedoff shotguns and pistols. Philadelphia, like other big cities, has had its quota of gang murders arising from the liquor traffic. Bootlegging, it would seem, has become big business, and like all big business, well-organized. There is the important difference that while legitimate business is responsible and has recourse to law, the only law known in the bootlegging underworld is the law of the bullet. As long as there is big money in the illicit liquor traffic, men will be found to carry it on, no matter how dangerous governments attempt to make it. • The People’s Business When members of the Public Ownership League met recently in Seattle, they saw a practical demonstration of their theory that electric light plants may "be operated by municipalities effectively and with large savings to taxpayers. This, of course, is denied by the power interests, which have spent vast sums in recent years to convince the public that public ownership is inefficient and costly. At Seattle the visitors saw the first unit of the new monster power project being developed on the ■ Skagit River, which it is expected eventually will develop a million horse power. Seattle, they learned, now supplies 91,000 customers with electricity, in direct competition with a private company supplying 30,000. Lights that cost $lO a month in Seattle cost s2l just over the city line, in territory the municipality Is forbidden to serve by State law. Tacoma exhibited its hydro-electric developments, which enable the city to supply current for 4% cents for the first 20 K. W. H., and 1 cent for the remainder. The average price throughout the country is around 7 cents. Tacoma has a $13,000,000 plant on which $9,000,000 of indebtedness has been paid even with the exceedingly low rates obtaining. Here’s Justice Strange things happen in the courts of all countries. At Valeivo, in Jugo-Slavia, a brigand was captured by the gendarmerie. He had been an exceedingly busy brigand, it seems, and had to be tried separately for each offense charged against him. When at last his trials were concluded, and the court added up his sentences, it was found that he must die twice and serve 760 years at hard labor. The bandit thought this a bit severe, and appealed to a high court in the capital. Retrials were ordered on points of law. The bandit succeeded in getting 640 of the years of hard labor knocked off. But he was given fifty-eight death sentences instead of two. Wouldn’t this tangle have delighted some of our own lawyers? We Grieve With Italy Once more Italy pays heavily in human life for the shortcomings of a modern miracle of transportation. Far above the arctic circle lie the broken remnants of the Italia, and the frozen bodies of a half dozen of her men. In the warm waters of the Adriatic the submarine F-14, tossing beside her salvage Ships, yields thirty-one dead. America with the catastrophes of the Shenandoah and the S-4 still fresh in the chronicle of man’s struggle with the elements grieves with Italy. Dr. William Bowie of the United States coast geodetic survey says the earth is cooling off one degree centigrade every 16,000,000 years. Thus, the earth will be two degrees Fahrenheit 'cooler in the year 16,001,923 A. D. Gosh, we hardly can wait! A stalk of corn from which ten ears sprouted was exhibited in a Philadelphia grocery the other day. Too late, however, for honorable mention in Hoover’s acceptance speech. China launches anew warship and calls it ’’Peace.” That’s almost as good a joke as Secretary Keiiog can tell. Lowenstein, the Belgian financier whose estate shrank so terrifically just before his death, leaves only $40,000,000 to his wife and children. Don’t you like the way we’re able to say “only $40,000,000”?

A Case In Point We previously have contended that Interior Secretary Roy O. West is disqualified for his post by virtue of thirty years of close association with Samuel Insull, power potentate, both as business counselor and investor. The interior secretaryship is entrusted with the protection of vital public interests in power development and West’s dose friend Insull operates on a national scale to further private interests in this development. On general principles it is a bad arrangement to have West in that cabinet post most directly concerned with power developments, and the news affords a concrete illustration of this. Secretary Merrill has recommended to the Federal Power Commission that a company controlled by Insull be licensed to install a large hydro-electric plant at the falls of the Cumberland River in Kentucky which will dry up the falls except for a very small stream, and that another company controlled by him be authorized to perfect plans to develop the river for power purposes at other points. This project has aroused sharp hostility on the ground that it will devastate an area noted for scenic beauty. It may be that Merrill has worked out a plan that will conserve most of the scenic values and that the project is an excellent one for the public. That question ultimately will have to be decided, however, by the Federal Power Commission, and when it is presented Insull’s close friend and counselor, West, with the secretaries of war and agriculture, will be called upon to weigh the public interests and the Insull interests in which he is a substantial investor. Such an arrangement is inimical to gcod public policy. Chicago’s Police Blotter In Chicago the police blotter lives up to its name. The police there simply use it to blot out the evidences of crime. When one reads the report of Chicago’s crime commission that during the last two years at least 60,000 complaints of criminal acts in that city were suppressed by the police, one obtains a glimpse of the abyssmal depths to which official depravity has sunk in that city of calloused conscience. Had the police been nearly as energetic in suppressing crime as in suppressing news of crime, there would be no need for the existence of a crime commission. Critics of American newspapers should be disarmed by such a report. It is customary to rail against the press for devoting "so much space to crime.” The press is not actually guilty of the charge. When accurately measured, story for story, column for column, page for page, it will be found that the proportion of crime news is almost negligible in the average daily as contrasted with news and articles of other kinds. The press pleads guilty -fften to what might be called a disproportionate display of crime news—but that, too, is a matter of opinion and is subject to argument. Getting down to cases, however what an indictment might be levied against the American press as a whole if it could be shown to be suppressing crime news as the Chicago police suppress crime complaints. We make no plea for crime news as such. It frequently is overplayed. But a policy of deliberate suppression on the part of newspapers would soon make a fool’s paradise of the world in which we live. The people of Chicago wake suddenly to the knowledge that the police have been as negligent in reporting the commission of crime as they have been in preventing or punishing it. It doesn’t 6eem possible that Chicago could be woise than its own citizens thought, yet here is the proof. Surely the country hasn’t heard “the half of it.” Better for the sake of public safety and morals to offend on the side of truth. New York has found out that its prevailing winds are four miles an hour faster than Chicago’s. Chicago might have to surrender the title of “Windy City” if it didn’t still have Big Bill Thompson.

______ David Dietz on Science Students Ran the Show No. 143

MEDICAL science, like every other branch of knowledge, received a great impetus in the thir-! teenth century with the rise of the universities. Our educational system today is still upon the system which came into existence then, though of course there has been a considerable revolution with the passage of time. The universities originally were associations of stu- j dents. The students, apparently, and not the proses- 1 sors, ran them. The students organized originally into! guilds for their own protection, having been attracted

of Bologna grew up around a number of student guilds. The University of Paris grew up around an organization of teachers. But even here, the students nevertheless had their own organization and controlled their own affairs. The two universities which had the most to do with the advance of medicine in this century were those of Bologna and Montpellier. Bologna revived the serious study of the science of anatomy. The importance of this can not be overestimated. No advance had been made in the actual knowledge ?f anatomy for 1,000 years. Anatomy at this time did not diiffer from what it i had been in the time of Galen. Galen died in 200 A. D. In fact, anatomical knowledge was not as good as it had been in the time of Galen. Translations from the Greek into the Arabic and Hebrew and from them into Latin, the language of science in the Middle Ages, had resulted in many errors creeping into the texts. The first name we come upbn as a teacher of medicine at Bologna is that of Taddeo Alderotti, a contemporary of the great Dante. He was recognized by the city of Bologna as a great man. He was cahed the first citizen and was freed of the necessity of paying taxes. Among his patients were Pope Honarius IV, whom he charged 200 florins a day for services.

M. E. TRACY SAYS: “We Can Not Venture Forth Very Much, Even in a Peaceful Way, Without Adopting Measures Which Might Be Construed as Imperialistic”

IT looks as though some of the bright boys were making out a pretty good case for Herbert Hoover. The more they shout that he lacks a personality, the more one is inclined to suspect he has one. If some of the things he can not, or does not, do are so all-fired important, how did he get through college on sl4; make such a name for himself in the engineering field, without pull or influence; became a recognized authority on mining throughout the world; acquire such influence that he could rake up the cash with which to get 150,000 American back home from Europe at the outbreak of the war when no one else could; carry out the biggest relief program in human history, and manage our food industry with such satisfactory results? If the man is no good as a wisecracker, as his critics constantly tell us, if he lacks popular appeal, Is inarticulate and can not express himself clearly, how did he accomplish what he has and land where he is? The only logical explanation is that he possesse something that the bright boys have overlooked. B B B Monopoly in Europe Harvey Firestone buys a million acres of land in Liberia for the purpose of growing rubber. Everybody cheers. Such enterprises promise I to save us from paying tribute to a foreign monopoly. Firestone is hailed as a man of courage, enterprise and patriotism. The land costs him only 6 cents an acre, but what of that? If it is so cheap, why don’t more people buy it? Firestone is obliged to make certain arrangements for safety’s sake. He needs a supply of labor and some sort of guarantee that a reasonable degree of law and order will be maintained. With thus end in view, a $5,000,000 loan is arranged for Liberia, and in order to make sure of its liquidation an American financial advisor is provided for. Our State Department becomes r ore or less tangled up with the deal. To a certain extent we have become responsible for Liberia’s economic welfare. To a certain extent, the door is closed on other nations. All this presents a fine opportunity for some people to raise the yell of imperialism, exploitation and dollar diplomacy. A learned professor at Williamstown points out what terrible things Firestone is doing, and what terrible things this Government is likely to do if it backs him up. The alternative, of course, is to let Europe run away with Africa l and pay Europe’s price for rubber. , BUB Develop Competition We cannot venture forth very much, even in a peaceful way, without adopting measures which might be construed as imperialistic. The only way we can avoid such a charge is to stay home, put our money in local banks and buy raw material from other people at the price they set. We must buy the raw material, however. Our industrial structure depends on it. Rubber is but one of half a dozen commodities without which we cannot get along. We can regulate the price by creating competition if our people are allowed to develop enterprises in other lands. They will not develop such enterprises, especially in semi-savage lands, with reasonable guarantees. Those guarantees necessarily rest on a certain degree of control over local politics, and a certain degree of monopoly. And there you are. B B B Radio Controls Ship Science will leave nothing of our legends "and traditions if it keeps on. The winged horse has already been spoiled by the airplane, and Andrew W. Mellon, telling his political lieutenant how to run the Pittsburgh campaign by telephone from London, makes the mythical messages from Olympus seem hopelessly tame. Now that “flying Dutchman,” that | phantom of the deep which scared children, if not sailors, for several generations, must take a back seat to the vessel controlled by radio. Having reconditioned a battleship, and equipped her with the necessary apparatus, German experts on board another craft cause her to | start, stop, wheel and veer by sending waves through the ether. She does her stuff without the assistance of a single human hand. Even if the antenna by which she receives her orders were shot away, another would rise to take its place. The suggestiveness of such an achievement is startling. Who knows that the time may come when we can send crewless ships across the ocean? a a b Broadcast for Oil Radio promises to unlock many secret doors. The music, mirth and political hooey- which it now brings* to millions are apparently but the i beginning. It has not only opened up the field of television, but has been made to penetrate the bowels of the earth. Geologists are now using radio to discover the structure and ' vr- ! mation of sub-surface rock, which enables them, among other things, to locate those salt domes that usually indicate the presence of oil. The Government has been requested to authorize the establishment of sixty radio stations to further this work. Who are the youngest and oldest moving picture stars?

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American .Medical Association and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine. ONE of the most common questions asked nowadays has to do with the danger of marriage between first cousins. It was estimated many years ago that about three per cent of all marriage are between first cousins and that such marriages are three times as common among the aristocracy and the wealthy as among the poorer classes of society. It Is a common belief that cousin marriages may lead to physical and mental deterioration of the children, to an increase in the number of infant deaths and to a decrease in births. In many of the States of the Uniteck States cousin marriages are forbidden by law, and in countries that are majority Catholic, first cousin marriages are forbidden except by special dispensation. The evider iposed to such marriages is lar nlklore, and is based on invesU ns made in restricted communities in which the initial stock was not itself of a superior type. Animal breeders frequently attempt inbreeding for the purpose of developing a finer and finer stock. If the original stock is good, as has for example been the case in some communities, the descend-

(Abbreviations: A—ace; K—kin*; Q—queen; J—jack; X—any card lower than 10.) THE fact that a certain card is led may have a definite message for you as to the .emaining cards of that suit held by the leader When your opponents win the contract you must be on the alert to correctly interpret your partner's opening play. When you are the declarer you must be ready to mirror the leader’s hand so that you may be able to find the quickest, safest route to your goal—the game. One of the essentials of skillful ,play is the ability to mirror correctly the leader’s suit. Asa general guide remember that: The opening lead of the King signifies that the leader also holds the Ace or Queen or both of that suit. The opening lead of the Queen signifies that the leader also holds the Jack or Jack-10. The opening lead of the Ace followed by the King signifies that the leader holds no more of that suit and wants his partner to return it at the earliest opportunity so that he may trump it. The opening lead so the Jack signifies that it is in all probability being played from King-Jack-10 or from Jack-10-8. The opening lead of the King followed by a switch to another suit on the second round signifies that the leader probably holds the Ace-King-Jack and wants his partner to lead up to him in order that he may finesse the .',ack. The opening lead of the 2 at no trump signifies that the suit contains only four cards. The opening lead of the Ace followed by any card other than the King on the second round signifies that the leader does not hold the King of that suit. The opening lead of an Ace followed by' a switch to the suit bid by partner signifies that the Ace is a singleton. The lead of, any honor at no trump signifies that the suit conta ns at least three honors or two honors and the 9.

Serious conditions are not created in the offspring of cousin marriages if the parents ai’e of good stock. If, however, there is any tendency to certain diseases which are known to be hereditary in the family, then the risk of the disease appearing in the children is greatly accentuated by a marriage between blood relatives, even if neither of the persons marrying is afflicted. If there is any particular desirable characteristic In the family, such as great musical or mathematical ability or any other mental or physical talent, then a cousin marriage tends to perpetuate and fix that characteristic in the children.

Democrats Are Trying to Hide Party Conflict

BY C. J. LILLEY r T"'HE Democratic party is undergoing a civil war in which * hostilities are being submerged as much as possible in order to win the November election. The effect of this war will not be felt until the 1930 or 1932 elections, when many an old-time Democratic Congressman will discover to his surprise that he is faced with stiff opposition. Many share this view of what is transpiring and refer to it as a, , revolt against the leaders for making A1 Smith the party nomine*. Party pride is holding many Democrats in line, and rather than bolt to the Republicans, they are awaiting the day when they can pay back locally the State, county and precinct leaders who placed them in. theposition they now find themselves. While most Democrats are hopeful that Smith will win. and are actively working in his behalf, they are fearful what the aftermath will be. The revolt largely is in the South, and mainly among those who are strongly dry or anti-Catholic. Some ; are expected to desert the party in November, particularly the women voters, but not in sufficient numbers to endanger territory that has always been Democratic. Because of the party revolt and because of the ticklish political situation in which they find themselves, Democratic Congressmen are proceeding in this campaign with far more caution than they have been required to exercise in some years. B B * AFTER the Houswin convention, most of the oKi-timers were ready to step out and actively campaign for Smith. His letter to the convention urging modification and the appointment of John Raskob as Democratic national chairman, caused them to pause. Now they are helping Smith, but chiefly by writing him letters telling him he ought to do this and that. A few of the Congressmen who have written to Smith or Raskob have not been any too pleased at their replied. Instead of accepting their ideas with enthusiasm Smith has shown a disposition to run his campaign in his own way. As one congressman expressed It, “Smith doesn’t seem to realize there is any United States west cf New York State. Until he does, he will never be able to win.” I Although each Democrat has his own ideas about how the national j campaign ought to be run, he is i more concerned about how he ought to map out his own future cour ?. To come out too openly for Smith might be dangerous to some of the Congressmen, while failurte to come out would be more dangerous to others.

(Waterloo Pros*) It is very gratifying to the Republicans of the United States that they have a candidate for the presidency such as Herbert Hoover. Although he has handled billions of dollars, there has never been a suspicion of graft by any one—not even by the lowest of the employes. And he has had to employ many thousands of workers of all nationalities and from all walks of life. (Richmond Polladlum) The resignation of Frank E. Rozelle, United States marshal for northern Indiana, meets the approval of the public. His resignation clears the situation in that it removes a Federal officer whose career has been attacked.
