The Zeps Are Coming The world’s latest and largest airship, the Graf Zeppelin, is now poised, figuratively speaking, for an epoch marking series of round trip voyages between Germany and the United States. The first trip across the Atlantic is scheduled to begin about the middle of this month, from the Zeppelin works at Friederichshafen. Meantime, the great air liner is being put through a series of tests. Her latest jaunt was over Lake Constance, Switzerland, and the Rhineland for 620 miles, with eighty-two people aboard. En route, hot meals were served from the wellequipped kitchen to the privileged passengers, who traveled surrounded not only by the comforts, but the luxuries, of a well-ordered hotel. The scheduled flights of the Graf Zeppelin back and forth across the Atlantic Ocean are not for 'stunt purposes. By them Dr. Hugo Eckener, the late Count Zeppelin’s successor, expects to demonstrate the ability of this type craft to span the seas on schedule time as dependably as ocean-going steamships. Dr. Eckener is the man who built the Los Angeles, now used by the United States Navy, and flew it from Friederichshafen to America. He will be in command of the newest product of the Zeppelin works, when it starts for the United States about Oct. 12. world apparently is on the eve of tremendousrSaiimportant developments in aerial navigation, dewhich may revolutionize the present outlook. The Graf Zeppelin is 50 per cent larger than the Los Angeles. It has a capacity of nearly 4.000,000 feet. Standing on end it would be half again Hs* high as the Washington Monument, and stui Rigger ships are nearing completion. In England, Biext spring, two dirigibles, the L-100 and L-101, will Rake the air. They will have a capacity of 5,000,000 Ruble feet and accommodations for 100 passengers Rn addition to a crew of about fifty officers and men. R Not to be left entirely behind the procession, the ■United states has opened bids on two dirigibles ■bigger even than these. Ours call for a capacity ■of 6,000,000 cubic feet. I Experts declare there is no engineering limit to ■the size of a dirigible, inasmuch as the bigger the ■ship is the greater the useful load per ton of weight ■ it can carry—a fact which is not true of airplanes. I But the experts deny they have any quarrel with I airplanes. The llighter-than-air and the heavier-Ithan-air types each have their propex place. The is ideal for long-distance flights, such as I flights across oceans, while the plane is in its element on fast, short hops over land or small bodies of water. In war the dirigible would act as an airplane carrier, launching forth vast fleets of planes to do the fighting. The great, rigid airships of the Zeppelin class are increasing both in stability and safety constantly. New metal alloys have strengthened the framework immeasurably. Even steel is being used. Improved motors, some using heavy oil instead of | gasoline, have contributed, while in the United States I at least, the use of helium gas, instead of hydrogen, I has meant a stupendous advance. I In recent times the dazzling stunts of airplanes ■ have served to put dirigibles into eclip.se. But exI perts believe that before another year has passed, the I less spectacular, but more practical, flights of llghter- [ than-air craft will put them permanently on the I ijiap—not to take the place of planes, but to fit into r the picture beside them, the one as the complement of the pther. Mrs. Caldwell Should Resign Hoover hardly could be more emphatic and convincing than he is in his statement condemning the circular of the Virginia Republican national committee woman. This direct appeal to religious prejudice, sent out on the letterhead of the Republican national committee, is easily the most vicious manifestation of the campaign thus far. It deserved the quick and angry repudiation by the candidate which it received. Certainly nothing he has said or done since the day of his nomination could have led any over-excited campaign worker to think he would tolerate any such action in his behalf. There remains, however, one step that should be taken. Mrs. Willie W. Caldwell should resign as national committee woman. If she fails to do so voluntarily, Chairman Work should call for her resignation. True, Mrs. Caldwell has joined in the repudiation of the letter’s contents, saying that the objectionable phraseology was not her own, but that of some unnamed secretary. But this repudiation came after she first tacitly had admitted authorship of the letter as a whole, including specifically the sentence “Mr. Hoover himself and the national committee are depending on the women to save our country in this hour of very vital moral religious crisis.” Surely there is no longer any place for her on the Republican party’s national board of directors. l Now the Noiseless Street Car L The noiseless street car.

Put All the Cards On the Table The hullabaloo over the secret naval accord between France and Great Britain continues to occupy the front page of the press of Europe and the attention of League of Nations statesmen gathered at Geneva. The latest disclosures offer little new. They tend, however, to confirm the gist of the alleged pact already recorded in this newspaper. That is to say, it appears to be based upon the assumption that in return for French support of the British claim for an unlimited number of small cruisers, Britain will support the French claim for an unlimited number of small submarines. This may, or may not, be the case. The British government Is as mum as ever while the controversy rages. But if it is true, then Britain and France are conspiring to put the United States at a serious disadvantage, reducing the Washington naval agreement of 1922 to the proverbial scrap of paper. The true intent of the Washington conference w r as to establish a fair ratio among leading navies of the world. On paper that is just what it did, with parity for Britain and America. Actually, it limited the tonnage of capital ships and aircraft carriers, which Britain wanted limited, and left the sky the limit on everything else. Now, it appears, Britain and France are working together to gain superiority for themselves in these unlimited types of war vessels as against the United States —a manifest violation of the spirit of the agreement they entered into at Washington in 1922. As the liberal British newspaper, the Manchester Guardian. pointed out, cruisers and submarines “are the categories of ships in which the two governments desire not a diminution, but an increase of strength. Having settled these matters to their satisfaction, France and England proceed to deny the same satisfaction to the United States,” which needs not small cruisers, but large ones. The principle of naval limitation by categories of ships is sound, quite as the Guardian concludes, but it is absurd to suppose that it can be made to apply only to those classes of ships which the British or French do not want to build. Just now, it may be said in passing, British statecraft seems at rather low ebb. Seldom has it appeared at worse advantage than in this affair. Needlessly it has aroused suspicions where world confidence is imperative. It has entered into secret deals where every appearance of secrecy should have been taboo. It has talked when it should have been silent and been silent when it should have talked, and when Uncle Sam did not come running with a loud hurrah at the first suggestion of a parley, it was tactless enough to appear peeved. Commenting before the United States sent its clean-cut note on the subject of the Franco-British naval understanding, a British spokesman at Geneva is quoted as saying: “I remember the days when America was too proud to fight, but I never heard of her being too proud to write.” Nice, statesmanlike little wisecrack, but no more to be expected of folks inviting us to a party than it measures up to the caliber of the men who made the British empire. Britain, France and the whole world are well aware that America stands ready at any time to limit naval tonnage on a fair basis with the other powers. If the others feel the same way about it, all they have to do is tc say so, and quit sitting around the international beard passing cards to one another under the table. They may mean well, but it looks bad and Uncle Sam well may be pardoned for hesitating to sit in. W’th its splendid alms, don’t you suppose Chicago should be the greatest place in the world for finishing schools?

David Dietz on Science. Microbes Are Hunted No. 169

ANTONY LEEUWENHOEK, the Dutch janitor who made finer microscopes than any one before him discovered the existence of microbes. But when Leeuwenhoek died it looked as though microbes would remain nothing more than a scientific curiosity. For neither Leeuwenhoek nor the member of the Royal Society, to whom he communicated his discovery seemed to have the slightest idea of the role played by microbes in

died in 1723. His successor was born in northern Italy in 1729. He was Lazzaro Spallanzani. Science always has been international. No one nation can lay claim to more than a share of the great names in science. We shall see the trail of the microbe hunters carrying us around the world. France, Germany, England, Japan, our own United States, each one will contribute great names to the story. Spallanzani seems to have been born with a love of science. Asa boy he spent so much time studying the stars that his playmates named him the “astrologer.” He loved to study trees and flowers and birds and insects. On holidays he would go for long walks through the woods. But his father wanted the boy to be a lawyer and sent him to school to study law. Like a dutiful son young Lazzaro studied law, but he spent all his spare time reading mathematics and natural history. Then one day, he was now a student at the University of Reggio, he called upon Vallisnieri, one of the great scientists of the day. The man was impressed with the boy’s knowledge and told him that he would make a great scientist. Then Lazzaro told him that his father insisted upon the study of law. So Vallisnieri called upon the boy’s father and told him what a great scientist he would make. The father consented, and Lazzaro returned to the university to begin his career as a scientist. It was not many years before he embarked upon his career of microbe hunting, for when he was 30 years old he was made a protessor at the University of Reggio.

M. E. TRACY SAYS: “If Anything, the Cost of Dying Has Gone Up Farther (tod Faster Than the Cost of Living’/

FORTY Chinese thieves, disguised as ordinary travelers, board a British ship at Singapore. When the ship is nicely at sea, they stage a show that would delight Conrad’s heart, killing three officers, wounding the captain, robbing the 1.400 passengers and getting away with SIOO,OOO worth of loot. It reads like a page from the seventeenth century, and that is exactly what it is. These particular orientals, and millions more like them, have gotten nothing out of their contact with modern civilization, except a few deadly weapons. , They can kill more proficiently than their forebears. But their ideas of when and whom to kill remain the same. a a a Dying Too Costly A member of the New York health department pleads for the reduction of funeral expenses. There will be millions to second his motion. If anything, the cost of dying has gone up farther and faster than the cost of living. It now takes from S3OO to S4OO to' get a respectable good burial anywhere in this country. That is a lot of money considering what people get for it. Style plays a big part. You hear almost as much about it when you buy a coffin as when you rig up for a dinner dance. Every aspect of the ceremony has been professionalized. Undoubtedly the ceremony has been improved, but in no lespects so greatly as in the bill. Other countries—notably Russia and Germany—have felt obliged to | curb the personal liberty of under- i takers. If the bill keeps mounting we may have to follow their ex- j ample. 000 Issues Overlooked There are more people than the farmes in need of relief, and there are more problems to be solved than those centering around the McNary-Haugen bill, Muscle Shoals or even the Eighteenth Amend- j ment. The really wonderful thing about, politics is the issues it overloks. It ‘ settles little that is old and recognizes less that is new. Take the present campaign, for instance, and what are we talking j about that we have not been talking about the last fifty years. Daniel Webster could not drive an. auto, or turn on an electric light if | he were to come back, unless some j one showed him how. but he would I experience little difficulty in mak- j ing a good political speech on any of the questions up for discussion. | Even Thomas Jefferson would find j himself quite at home, though not i wholly on the Democratic side, per- { haps. In other lines, we yield to innovation and improvement, but in J politics we sing the same old tune. When was prosperity not an argument, or the tariff not an issue? 000 Lazy Statesmen Reading the platforms and listening to the speeches, who would guess that we had abandoned the ox cart, or that the originality and progress which share revolutionized industry mean anything to statecraft? For years I have waited to hear some forward-looking statesman suggest that the calendar needs revizing. or that the metric system should be adopted. Forward-looking statesmen seem to have no time for such novelties. They are more interested In schedule "K,” or personal liberty as represented by a pint of hootch. The idea of relieving 30,000,000 children from six months or so of headache by simplifying arithmetic and establishing a uniform system of weights and measures does not appeal to them. They are sympathetic and for economy, but one gathers that they I do not like to tread unfamiliar grounds when searching for wisecracks and platitudes. One gathers that they prefer to talk about matters on which they can find phrases to repeat and plenty of figures already compiled. The calendar and arithmetic would make pretty dry stuff on the stump for exactly the same reason that they make pretty dry stuff for school children and business men. u a Need New Calendar Just the same, if an administration wanted to do something for the common good, something that would cost little and save much, something that it could point to with pride and that no one else could view with alarm, there is nothing safer to tackle than the Julian calendar and the existing system of weights and measures. Yet, who looks for our big, broad-minded, sympathetic, for-ward-looking statesmen, with their solicitude for the “dear people” and their stupendous grasp of public affairs, to recognize such problems, much less solve them? We shall get a revised calendar, of course, and the metric system, but not through politics. We shall get them, just as we have gotten most other worthwhile, constructive improvements through the efforts of public-spirited citizens, who. want nothing and seek nothing except progress. This, too, inspite of the fact that the Government is the only authority that can revise the calendar, or establish anew system of weights and measures, and that the problem involved in each case is clearly one of politics.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN, Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine. ONE of the substances most needed in the human dietary is calcium, the substance responsible for the building of bones and teeth, as well as for many other functions. It is concerned in the general handling of mineral elements, in the actions of the muscles and of the heart, in the use of iron, and in the stability of the nervous system. Unless the body has sufficient calcium, bones do not develop properly and there may be contractions of the large bones and stunted growth. The average adult person requires about 0.45 grams of calcium per day, which is only about 1-60 of an ounce. Women who are having children

EUROPEAN nations will roar over this week's heated denials that the head and tail of the Republican ticket have hot had a drink of liquor. This definitely establishes Mr. Hoover and Mr. Curtis as the two humps of the camel, but you will notice one thing that is very ominous —Mr. Curtis makes no promise for the future, and thereby hani.s a tale. 000 The vice presidency would drive any man to drink. It’s the only public station whose occupant generally is so regarded as having passed away that they put up his marble bust during his term of office! All he can do Is just sit there and fight cobwebs. The Senate should adopt a rule permitting vice presidents to knit socks for the Red Cross—anything to keep them from becoming morbid. 000 We hope this new man, Mr. Emilio Portes Gil, makes a good president for Mexico, but he sounds more like a 15-cent cigar. He’s a friendly fellow, and he works fast; he hugged all the American men the very first day, but then there’s something about a newspaper man that just naturally makes everybody fall in love with him! There has been an unusually heavy demand for legal separations among our motion picture immortals the last sixty days. The Hollywood health note for the screen actor is—A divorce a day keeps obscurity away! Miss Lauder, *Gene Tunney’s fiance, goes to Europe with $40,000 worth of clothes. With $40,000 worth of nothing at all, the average American girl could show Europeans some scenery which would make them forget all about the Alps.

Shades of a baby basinet! What would small Michael say if he could see and meditate upon the luxury of other wee things folded lovingly away in. their down-filled coverlets, lying in their silken-lined, cream-colored hand-painted, carefully shade baby basinets that wheel about noiselessly on rubber tires! Doubtless he’d laugh heartily, since he’s that way, cuddled there In his cardboard box, manfully stenciled all over with large red and black BREAD signs! And certainly the only comment he might bethink himself of would be: “Say, Mom, how about putting a little oil on brother’s skates so this box will roll around more quietly?’’ Maybe you won’t believe it, but Michael’s box is a luxury compared to what he had to tolerate at first.

In the same way nursing mothers require additional calcium so that the child may secure a sufficient amount in the milk. The child of from 3 to 13 years requires about twice as much calcium as the average adult namely about 1-30 of an ounce each day. Calcium is to be had in the diet in many forms, but is supplied particularly by milk. It occurs, of course, in vegetable foods, but the milk calcium appears to be in what is called an easily utilizable form; namely, it is more easily handled by the digestive processes of the body. It has been found, of course, that milk products also contain considerable quantities of calcium, this substance being re-

THE President has not denied that he will become the head of the American Telephone Company after March 4. Looking over his life the telephone company found that Mr. Coolidge has held public office ever since he was 21 and naturally they were strongly attracted by a gentleman who never once in all his life left his receiver down! 000 It looks like somebody somewhere along the line purposedly had left a technical gate open so Loeb and Leopold could get out. If this comes to pass, it will discredit courts more with decent people than any other thing that has occurred in America in fifty years.

One and six-tenths cubic inches of American cheese contains twenty times as much calcium as fou* ounces of lean beef and twelve times as much calcium as one egg yolk. There are two types of cheese, sour milk cheeses, such as cottage cheese and the rennet cheeses, which include most of the others. Swiss cheese has fourteen times as much calcium as has cottage cheese, weight for weight. Therefore, all cheese must not be considered as equally valuable in supplying calcium. Cheese is a concentrated food and is best used when combined with bread, crackers and other substances which promote thorough chewing before swallowing.

ERNEST COOLIDGE, Wisconsin farmer and the President’s cousin, has just won the cow calling prize at a county fair. The history of the United States shows few relationships in which greatness became such an epidemic. 000 , This is going to be a terribly lonesome winter for the farmers of the midwest. Now they’re the belles of the political ball, all the candidates crowding round to mark their programs, but after the election the happy function will be over, the candidate will go to Washington and form other attachments and the farmers will sit, contemplate the icy world, listen to the mortage —drawing interest—and sadly hum “After the Ball Is Over." 000 We know of no reason why Secretary Mellon should be permitted to have that cellar full of booze, bunless he has become a minister of some kind and uses the stuff for sacramental purposes.

the fact that the United States was, at that time, about one-sixth Catholic, the records of the War Department show that approximate 40 per cent of the United States Army and 60 per cent of the Navy were Catholic. If a Catholic is good enough to fight for his country, why should he be denied the privilege of holding the highest office within the gift of the nation? The United States never has had a Catholic President out of the thirty that have held that office. According to population there should have been five. Much of the opposition to Al Smith because of his religion has come from Protestant minister sand bishops, many of whom have left their churches and their pulpits to travel over the country preaching, instead of the word of God, nothing but religious bigotry and intolerance Christ drove the traders from the Jewish temple with the words, “This is a house of God and you have made it a den of thieves.” Verily many of the Protestant houses of God today are being made a cesspool of politics. The Catholic churches on the other hand never have and are not now taking any part in politics today. Al Smith has made New York a good Governor, as is evidenced by the fact that he was sent back three times to guide the destiny of that commonwealth. He never has permitted his religion to interfere with the administration of the affairs of that office and there is no reason to believe that he would change his policies if elected President.

KEEPING UM With THE NEWm

BY LUDWELL OENXY^H VITA SHI NGTON, Oct. flfr! ’ V the election were toufr'Sp: Hoover would win easily, i vyV'jA entire situation may be cha©|PE£ji five weeks of a campaign whf<A®a already produced more ers and more doubtful States than, any in a generation. ' Nationally, the election is jR being determined by the mucl*RjEv bated questions of prohibition ligion, political corruption, ft personality of A1 Smith. questions are of actual election lifl portance only in certain Stafl made doubtful by other In the main Smith’s overcoming Hoover’s present depends upon two economic —a low price of wheat in the and industrial depression in tnel East. J That is why Smith's chances not as good as they might be. is why Smith, who has aroused tnß same outward enthusiasm as Bryan, may like Bryan get the cheers buti not the votes. Industrial and employment conditions have been improving rapidly during the last two months, and there are no signs that this prosperity pickup will cease during October. As for the low price of wheat, It will not be surprising if ways are found, artiflcally if necessary, to remove this chief danger of a farm bolt to Smith. Hoover’s present edge is demonstrated by the Literary Digest and other straw votes, which in other campaigns have been unexpectedly accurate. It is also attested by most newspaper observers who have swung around the circuit or studied separate sections of the country. 000 THERE is almost daily statistical evidence of improved business conditions considering the country as a whole, and no politician talking straight from the shoulder attempts to deny the direct connection between the average voter’s poocketbook and ballot on election day. Today, for instance, there are monthly economic statements by the United States Federal Reserve board and the National City Bank of New York. “Sales of wholesale firms reporting to the Federal Reserve Sys tem were seasonably larger in Au gust than in July, and in most o the lines the increases were large than usual,” the Reserve board an nounces. "Trade and industry during tlx month of September has measure< up handsomely to its favorable ad vance notices.” say the National Cit; Bank. “There is no question bu that a condition of prosperity pervades most sections of the country “The unemployment scare of tlx winter has likewise passed away and factory employment and paj rolls in many localities are showinj gains as compared wtih a year ago Production in the steel, automobil) and various other leasing industrie; is breaking all previous records.” American Federation of Labor re ports on union unemployment Rhow a decrease from 18 per cent in Marcl to 9 per cent in August. .
