Speed Is Needed The politicians, who look upon city jobs and city funds a the property of politicians, to be used ior partisan advantages, have demonstrated their fear of and antagonism to the city manager government. The; have taken the first steps to grab the power if by any chance the supreme court can be induced to say that the formation of the sort of government the pcopk have chosen take? away their constitutional rights. . Just how rights tan he destroyed through a government -elected by the people themselves is a mystery. But the political lawyer: , who in their private conversations show a thorough contempt of the court and whisper oi influences that are not written in the books, have the hope that a decision will be finally rendered 10 perpetuate the old grafts and greeds. The matter ought to be very simple. The balancng of right and wrong ought not to be so delicate as a ) require long deliberation and exhaustive research. Even a court which has a record of great deliberateness in decisions ought not to require a very lone period in settling such a ease. To the minds of men and women who merely want a government that is owned by them instead of bring run by the bos-es. the problem seems very simple. But with vanou candidates in the field for mayor awaiting this off chance of a decision that will permit them to try for power, the matter ought to be immediately brought before the court, and an urgent request made for speed. This city has had much of turmoil. Its government has been unsettled. Its administration has been under shadows of courts too long. Perhaps somewhere in t’ne line of legal proceduie some lawyer who has a regard for the people of the city will appeal to the high court to give action and quick action. The job of keeping the bosses out of power under ♦he new government will be hard enough without the added handicap of delay, uncertainty and undercover campaigning? Our Duty to the Cuban People A little more than thirty years ago Cuba, the 'Tearl of the Antilles." was being bled white by her tyrannical Spanish overlord. Without any voice in their government, taxed out of everything they made, clapped into a political prison if they complained, the ragged, povertystricken people had no other recourse than to revolution. and when they attempted that the island lor years ran red with blood shed in unequal strife. At last wc intervened and set Cuba tree. After bringing peace to the island, draining off the swamps, constructing sewers, building roads, banishing yellow fever and helping the Cubans set up a republic oi their own, we gave them their independence with our blessing. Today, according to a long list of distinguished Cubans, their country once more is in the grip ol a regime as tyrannical as was Spain's. The present government, of Cuba, we are told, is * dictatorship. Representative government has disappeared. Once again the people have no voice m their affairs, because only one name appears on the election ticket and they must vote that way or not at all. Unconstitutionally, they claim, the present officials are remaining in office and unconstitutionally their terms of office have been prolonged—the president extending his from four to six years. One of the president's own official family, his secretary ot war. testifies that he was given twenty-four hours m which to leave the country’ after he had the temerity to suggest running for the presidency against the incumbent. Certainly the United States has no desire to intervene in Cuba’s affairs. This goes particularly for armed intervention. But. alter all, the United States ripes owe it to the Cuban people not to force them to go on forever submitting to the present regime, if it is as sinister as described. The United States morally is bound to do one ot two things: Either bring diplomatic pressure to bear on Cuba to restore representative, constitutional government, so that the people can express themselves at the polls, else keep hands off altogether and let the present growing unrest take its course. Most assuredly we have no right to stand by now and permit abuses to continue indefinitely under our very noses, then send an armed expedition to Cuba to put down a revolution, which, by the very nature of things, always grows out of such situations. Besides, if the picture is as black as it is painted we are at least half-way responsible for it. The republic of Cuba is now. and always has been, undei American tutelage. We are morally and legally her sponsor. We are pledged to maintain her indpendence and what is just as important, we arc bound to insist that a government be maintained at Havana "capable of protecting life, property and individual liberty." Large numbers of Cubans today insist that the present regime is not living up to any such definition They are protesting in every wav they know against the abuses. Among the signers of a recent manifesto against the alleged usurpations of power was Dr. Cosmo De La Torriente, former ambassador to Washington and president of the assembly of the League oi Nations, a man respected around the world for his Ideals and for the high quality of his mind. And with him signed many others of similar renow n. Where there is so rnfich smoke there must be some fire. It is the duty of the United States to investigate. Better a diplomatic move now than a military one later on. We should not forget that, after all, our prestige is tied up in Cuba as it is nowhere else in the Latin American world. Wherein We Straddle It takes more courage than we possess to jump into the free-for-all of the social masters and matrons of this once simple republic over the table rank at official functions of the Vice-President’s half-sister. Perhaps if we had a burning conviction on this International teacup topic, courage would be given us to plunge in and battle for the right. But our difficulty is that the moment we make up our editorial mind on one side, we flop to the other. As 100 per cent Americans, we feel, for a moment, that any American must be better than any foreigner and so recognized at the social boards of Washington. The feeling is quickened by the fact that this is the case of a lady in distress. U a gentleman is asked to

choose between the ruling of a secretary of state and the claim of a lady, obviously he must be true to the tenets of chivalry. But just as we get clear on this point, we are remmded that as true Americans we should scorn all the trappings of social rank as an alien importation from the courts of Europe, dangerous baubles turning our heads from the simple and democratic informality of our founding fathers. So that jerks us back again to our original position on the fence. It is all very confusing! Having confessed our neutrality, however, we would like to threw in one thought that has come to us belatedly—that is, provided we are not to be misunderstood as taking sides. In searching for the best standard of 100 per cent Americanism, it seems that there is something just as fundamental as rating Americans superior to foreigners per se. Since the earliest day ol the republic, we Americans have been world-famous for our hospitality. However much or however little we have had in the way oi a home, or a city, or a national capital, we have tried to welcome and honor the stranger. These foreign diplomats, whom the Vice-President wants his half-sister and hostess to outrank at social functions, happen to be in this country not as individuals, but as the personal representatives of their own countries. Perhaps this quarrel is not so much a question of conflicting "rights," as ot being gracious to our invited guests. Isn't that good 100 per cent Americanism? Jail, at Last There is only one higher court in this country to which Harry F. Sinclair of Teapot Dome might appeal from yesterday’s decision of ’‘guilty" by the United States supreme court. That higher court is public opinion. It already has condemned Sinclair. Now that the senate, a jury, a court of appeals, the United States supreme court, and public opinion, have found him guilty of contempt in refusing to answer senate questions regarding his share in the oil scandals, it seems that after all these years the multimillionaire finally is going to jail. There is not much chance for him to get a supreme court rehearing, even if he petitions for one. The long legal red tape which wealth has strung out ends behind the bars. Most of his fellow-citizens will think Sinclair is lucky in getting off with only a SSOO fine and three months in jail, although there still is the little matter of jury-shadowing which Sinclair may have to answer i for also when the supreme court takes up his appeal in that case. Much more than mere punishment of a guilty man 13 involved in yesterday’s ruling. It reaffirms the decision in the Mai S. Daugherty case upholding the rights of congress to conduct investigations necessary to aid legislation. And it helps restore public faith that there is only one rule of law lor poor man and rich man. Dr. Will Durant says there is more difference between man and man than between woman and woman. We were just wondering if the same were true about differences. Just to keep you informed. Secretary Kellogg, author oi the international pact outlawing war. also gave the ruling that, Charley Curtis’ sister must sit below the wives of ambassadors and ministers at official dinners. A Chinese government official, here to study stock exchange methods, was robbed in Philadelphia. He will be able to take home a lot of first hand information.

Making Weather Map

No. 375 ■

ONE of the chief activities of the United States weather bureau is the issuance of a daily weather map. These maps are of the utmost value to ship captains and others who are interested in the general trend ot the weather. For one who has learned to j read a weather map can make a pretty good forecast j of the weather for the next six or even twelve hours j

map is really a, summary of the observations made m all parts of the United States. At the same hour each morning, 8 a. m. eastern j standard time, the readings are made at each station. The temperature, the barometric pressure, the wind \elocity and direction and the precipitation, if any, j are read from the various instruments. At the same 1 time, the minimum temperature of the last twelve hours is read from a recording thermometer and an : observation is made of the state of the weather at the ! moment—whether it is clear, partly cloudy, cloudy, j raining, etc. At about 8:10 a. m. this information begins to go I over the telegraph wires. In a code more condensed than shorthand, these observations are sent over a system of leased wires so that every station on the circuit receives the observations of every other station. Let us watch one forecaster, say the one in Cleveland. At 8 a. m. he makes his own observations. These are put on the telegraph wire. As the observations from other stations come in, his telegraph operator copies them down. The forecaster has a large map known as a study map. On it there is a circle to represent the location of each station from which he receives observations, j The Cleveland forecaster receives observations from eighty-five stations. When he has received the information from allj these stations,, he has the information listed on his study map from which he can proceed to draw the day's weather map. This map is drawn with an engraving tool on a chalk. A metal cast is made from this plate. This cast then is placed by the station's printer on his press along with observations and the forecast which has been set in type. At 10:30 a. m. the reports containing the map are being put in their wrappers ready for mailing. Next we will see how observations are made and how a weather map is drawn.

“New York Built the Subways and Has a Right to Insist on Nickel Fare as Long as It Is Willing to Go Without Cash Returns on Its Investment .” TIyCONDAY was a disappointing day for "big boys" in the supreme court of the United States. Harry F. Sinclair, who thought he knew what kind of questions a senatorial committee had the right to ask, and who refused to answer some by way of demonstrating the point, will have three months to think it over in the quiet of some secluded jail. The Interborough Rapid Transit Company which claimed that a nickel fare was confiscatory because it did not provide an & per cent return on city-owned property can now’ remove the 7-cent boxes it installed last year. ° c " Glory for Walker ’T'HERE is more to the New York subway fare case than appears on the surface. For one thing, Mayor Walker, who would have been held responsible had a 7-cent fare been granted, will get a good share of the glory that goes with the nickel fare. By the sake token, ex-Mayor Hylan has lost his chief talking point. While the supreme court probably i did not give the fact any consideration, there was political dynamite in | this fare case. n tt tt

The Nickel Fare AyfANY people, both in and out of New York, have come to regard the nickel fare as desirable chiefly because it furnished Tammany Hall a good issue. The point is. of course, that New York built the subways and has a perfect right to insist on the nickel fare as long as it is willing to go ; without cash returns on its investj ment. What the company demanded was ! that New York should be forced to collect 8 per cent on that investment whether it wanted to. or not. a a a College Boys’ Minds IN a test vote conducted by the college paper, the senior class of Columbia university goes on record as in favor of smoking, swearing, drinking, dancing, football, "necking,'’ the Republican party, James Branch Cabell, Greta Garbo and Walter Hampden. The greatest majorities were polled for dancing, profanity and "necking” in the order named. The class rated John Erskine as the "least liked” author and the American Mercury as second to the Saturday Evening Post. b a b Banning the Alarm Clock JUST to show that the faculty of Columbia university is not outshone by the student body when it comes to original thinking, Dr. Jessee Foiling Williams, director of physical education, votes the alarm clock, the ccld bath and other violent methods of waking up the prize bane of this generation. “The alarm clock as an institution,’’ he says, “should be abolished," and adds that, “Setting-up exercises are silly, superstitious and artificial. “We should follow the cat and the dog method of arising.” he declares, “stretching first a leg, then an arm and gradually coming into consciousness.” We should, indeed, but .if we did, a lot of us would be docked for arriving late at the office. Also, a lot of clock makers and plumbers would be put out of business, not to mention some magazines and physical culture experts, which calls for a ringing editorial by Mr. Macfadden. a a a World Court Issue IN Senator Johnson's opinion, the I'm Alone case is a clinching argument as to why we should not enter the world court. Since the judges of that court are against prohibition, he contends, we would lose out if the case came before it. That is not only misstating the issue, but offering a gratuitous insult to some very distinguished jui’ists. The issue in the I'm Alone case is not prohibition, but whether the schooner was within the jurisdiction of the United States when signalled to “heave to.” and whether her sinking was necessary. It seems highly probable that such men as have been selected to serve as judges of the world court would find it possible to answer such a question fairly, even if they did not approve the particular law of i this country out of which it de- | veloped. Putting that aside, it seems that Ia noble senator might give them the j benefit of doubt, instead of designating them as hopeless victims of prejudice before they have even had the chance to try. ts a a A Frank Skipper CONSIDERING all the guessing, quibbling, surmising and supposing that has been done in the i I'm Alone case, Captain Randell’s j frankness comes as a delightful re- : lief. | Captain Randell, who by >.he I rules of the game, should have more ! reason to hide behind a screen of technicalities and evasions than anyone else, makes no bones about the fact that I’m Alone was a rum runner. He not only tells about the various cargoes he accepted and delivered. but says candidly that one went to the bottom with the illfated craft, which clears up one angle of the case. Further than that, Tie says that rum’running has become a well-or-ganized business, that it appealed to him because he likes excitement, and that while he got some out of this particular incident, it was not the biggest kick by any means.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SAYS:

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia, and Health Magazine. ALMOST everyone has his own cure for hiccoughs, as well as for colds and for many chronic disorders. The exact cause of hiccoughs is not known. It is apparently due to a spasm of the diaphragm, the large muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity. The stimulus to the spasm of this muscle comes through nerves that carry the impulse from the brain. t

OUT of great bitterness, books can be written. But it is just as well ior an author to call his shots. Maxwell Bodenheim’s undoubted narrative gift is gravely diluted by spleen in his new novel called “Sixty Seconds.” This is a book which begins with a condemned man in his cell awaiting execution. It ends one minute later with the prison chaplain plucking at the victim's sleeve to indicate that it is time to go to the death chamber. In the space of 60 seconds, John Musselman inwardly reviews his life. This is an excellent scheme, but i it calls for the swiftest and most compressed sort of writing. And at ' times Bodenheim does manage to : make his incidents gallop along at the breakneck pace of nightmare. At other times the egotism of the poet conquers the artistry of Tie novelist. Maxwell Bodenheim wants to be both creator and condemned man. He launches into fierce attacks upon people with whom John Musselman can possibly have no quarrel. The villains who fill the imagination of the author are not characters in the tale at all. Much too often Bodenheim feels impelled to drop his story completely and take the center of the stage with a long monolog about the iniquities of the critics. tt ft ft Unfair to Condemned MANY charges which he hurls against reviewers may be

Questions and Answers

HEALTH SUPERSTITIONS—No. 16

Hiccoughs can occur when the abdomen is distended due to many causes—from hurried eating; from infection, as with influenza, and indeed from anything that will send the impulse along the nerve. There are all sorts of suggestions for curing hiccoughs. They include drinking water slowly, holding the breath, electric shocks to the nerves, pressing the upper lip, counting to 100. or anything else which might distract attention. y i There is the story of two British | soldiers in the trenches. The guns

sound and just. No doubt they have done great evil in their time, but they did it to Bodenheim and not to John Musselman. In fact, the character should have obtained, before the book began, an injunction prohibiting the author from hanging about the premises. When a man has only 60 seconds to live it is monstrous that he should be compelled to deed over any part of his time to recriminations about reviewers. I believe that this poet-novelist possesses considerable ability. Probably this would seem to him a gross under-statement of the facts. But if either of us is right, he should be less concerned with what the booksy folks say about Bodenheim. And surely he need not be concerned by reviews which are as yet unwritten. But on page after page of “Sixty Seconds,” Max pauses to speculate as to the manner in which his book will be received. Thus, on page 91, the reader finds Bodenheim pushing Musselman away and making a personal ap- | pearance between parenthesis to say: “Come, critics and laymen—rail at this attack upon ’respectability.’ Or say that ‘it wouldn't be interesting even if it were true,’ in manner of people-about-town, trifling with the coin-clinking sportiveness of night clubs and the latest style in golf tweeds; or call it the fanaticism of an inverted bourger who assails the objects he secretly resembles; or lug in your worn-out,

some publication like it, at the public library. (c)A sorority becomes “national” in the slang meaning of the term when it gives its ritual and a chapter name to one or more other groups of girls. Properly speaking the chapter should be in different states to give the sorority the right to regard itself as “national.”

LEE S SURRENDER April 9

SIXTY-FOUR years ago today the j two most colorful military fig- 1 ures of the Civil war met without! ceremony in a private home in Ap- I pomattox Court House, Va., and silenced forever the guns of the war of secession. General Lee bore on his shoulders : | the broken hopes of the south. 1 \ Stocky, plain-spoken General Grant would be proclaimed in a few hours by a joy-maddened north as the greatest hero of the day. Os the two, Lee seemed to be better aware of the historic significance of the occasion. But Grant’s diffidence may have been a pose —a gallant gesture to hide embarrassment at meeting a defeated foe. It is customary for the victorious general to demand the other’s sword Grant did not. Instead, he apologized for having neglected to bring his own along. He permitted no theatrical display on the part of his men. There was no victorious march of : troops with banners flying; no demands made for the Confederates to “stack their arms.” The terms of peace were liberal and within a few hours, Grant was on his way to Washington by train.

are rumbling, great masses of metal and earth are being thrown hither and thither amidst bursts of flame and light. One turns to the other and says, "Scare me, Alf, 1 got the hiccups.” Not infrequently hiccoughs occur as a part of hysteria, in which the patient is convinced that he is ill and suffers all sorts of symptoms to prove it. By the power of suggestion or by ! the diversion of attention, the stimu- | lus to the nerves is stopped and the j hiccoughs disappear simultaneously.

invented decencies and honors; or, better still, ignore it, since you can change neither yourselves nor the individual who has written these words—” tt b a Critic's Ammunition THE error of introducing material of this sort is manifold. Bodenheim should not give reviewers so many leads, for they might adopt some of them. For instance, I am tempted to take him up on the suggestion of the inverted bourger “who assails the object which he secretly resembles.” Surely even the most amateur sort of Freudian must sense the fact that the man has a critic complex. No one who defies the lightning and urges the reviewers to ignore his book really means just that. His mood is precisely that of the correspondent who writes, “Os course you won’t dare print this letter.” Such devices to attract attention should be beneath the dignity of a first-rate writing man. But then, to be just, Bodenheim does not pretend to be dignific In my opinion he has not yet written a first-class novel, although he has made some brave tries. This is one. It falls short of high ground because of a lack of concentration. In addition to digressions, there are bad patches of fancy writing. At such times as Maxwell Bodenheim grows excited he sets down nervous prose in short and fastmoving sentences. At other times he puts on lugs and gets badlybogged in dependent clauses. a tt a Faults—Virtues Also BUT possibly more than enough has been said about the faults of Bodenheim. The story of John Musselman largely concerns his sex history. It is a crude story, humorless and by no means free from the author’s desire to shock for the sake of shocking. Again and again one visions him as muttering to himself, “Well, I guess that will make all the prudes sit up.” But many of these faults are rectified by two important virtues. In- j deed they seem to me the most im- ! portant attributes in the kit of any ! novelist. Bodenheim possesses power. , heaped up and running over, and j he has a true gift cf human sym- ! pathy.

REASON

By Frederick Landis-

Coolidge Coyly Says Thai He Could Have Had Nomination for Presidency at Kansas City Convention. MR COOLIDGE S second magazine article raises an issue which threatens to supersede the seating of Mrs Gann a. the paramount. issue now before us In this article Mr. Coolidge modestly avers that he has been assured he would have been nominated at, Kansas City had he not sent his secretary, Everett Sanders, to prevent it. tt tt a Political leaders say they feared until the very last an effort to manufacture a movement for Mr. Coolidge at Kansas City, but none ot them discovered Mr. Sanders in the act of distributing White House finalities to uprising delegations, aflame with Coolidgian zeal, and they do not believe he did so, for the reason that no such uprising delegations were visible to the naked eye. a tt tt If Mr. Hoover's leaders really wandered around in darkness, like the rest of us. regarding the. true import of that Black Hills announcement, “I do not chose to run.” then we have unloaded at our very feet a revival of the gossip concerning the real inwardness of the whole proposition. tt a SOME gentlemen who were close to Mr. Coolidge as his B. V. D.s insist that he did not intend to subtract himself from t.he 1928 campaign when he made thaf announcement in the summer of 1927. but that, he did hope thereby to remove the only obstacle in the way of his renomination and reelection, namely, the third term criticism. tt a a These gentlemen insist that Mr. Coolidge over estimated his hold on his party and on the country, that he thought his “I do not choose” statement would bring one hundred and twenty million people to their feet, tearing their hair and demanding that he reconsider and hurl himself upon the well-known altar. B tt tt Os course, such a spontaneous cumbustion of American sentiment, would have swept all third term criticism into the discard, but the combustion refused to combust, the people almost entirely continuing to “keep cool with Coolidge.” Whereupon other statesmen erected their lightning rods and Mr. Hoover loomed forth larger i than a flock of elephants. 808 It will be recalled that Mr. Coolidge rather coyly dallied with the nation’s widely different interpretations of his statement and at no time violently assailed any who insisted that he should be forced. True, once or twice, he rather wearily brushed Senator Fess aside, but the elephantine methods of Fess made that imperative. B B B THE statement that he has been told he would have been nominated had he not stopped it, is most unusual, coming from a former President, particularly from such a j reservoir of silence and such a para- ! gon of propriety as Mr. Coolidge. | Os course, it argues that the rnedi- ! tations aroused by his information | were far from displeasing and it also savors of a lack of affection for Mr. j Hoover, intimations of which have ' been current for some time tt a tt The astrologers of politics doubtless will find in the Coolidge statement, sufficient provocation to train their telescopes upon. the stars to divine signs of future conflict between the former and present President, and in ' their astronomical vigils they will also bear in mind that genuine affection seldom exists between White House tenants. tt tt tt Bus to return to the milk in the coccanut—Mr. Sanders did not prevent the nomination of Mr. Coolidge at Kansas City; Mr. Hoover prevented that—he and the people of the United States.
