Cleanup Week—Delayed Ordinarily the fart that an Indiana concern had received a contract for a large number of trucks would be applauded as an act of good business. But there are some incidental conditions surrounding this transaction that should excite some curiosity. For a very long time the highway commission refused to purchase any of these trucks. Then the control of the company changed. And the new owners were wise enough to employ as one of their representatives a member of the state budget committee. This committee rules state finances. It can control salaries. It. has the power to give and the power to take away. It is the most powerful body in the state. Now this concern seems to get the happy breaks. It is true that no state contracts for trucks bears the name of the budget committeeman. His part seems to he the maintenance of hotel rooms within the shadows of the 9tatehouse where he can confer with state officials on state matters and report to his boss who sells trucks to these state officials. ft is a matter of some curiosity, or should be, that the commission, in asking for the legal bids for trucks, does not find it necessary to definitely fix specifications. The bids are asked in the most general terms. Dealers in other trucks may he somewhat at loss to guess as to what is desired. The firm which employs the budget commissioner seems to have no such difficulties. It gets the business. The incident may be worthwhile if it again calls to the attention of Governor Leslie that ‘‘clean-up week” in the state highway commission is long delayed. There is still the matter of the member who received, so he admits, a gift from concerns from which the commission purchases vast quantities of material. Surely he should show his consideration for the reputation of the commission. his consideration for the Governor b '.ring to place that body above suspicion. And if it he conceded that he should resign, that other member who whispered of. a certain type of car that he get from the budget committee, whispered it so lout 1 in hotel lobbies that he was overheard, should be fired and not permitted to resign. The revelations of tire purchases from a concern which he represents suggests that more than a disinfectant will be needed for the commission, if it is composed of members whose ideas and ideals run along these lines. Spring is here. The housewife is doing her annual job. The merchants and the Rotarians are singing of cleanups and anew start. The Governor ought not to delay too long. There may come a time when it will be embarrassing. Tariff Gone Wild The tariff bill is a mess. It is almost everything President Hoover said it must not be. The Republicans in congress have put the President In a bad political hole. The President was elected on a specific pledge to limit tariff changes to agriculture and a few industrial schedules. This bill is a general revision. It revises more than one thousand rates, less than one hundred of which are agricultural. The President pledged adjustments to equalize tariff benefits. This bill makes practically no reductions; it is a wholesale increase. It will add uncalculated millions to the living cost of the American people in cities and towns. It will not help the farmers as a class. What benefit to the farmer is a 66 per cent increase in corn tariff, when Imports are less than one per cent of consumption? Or a 100 per cent increase on dairy products, when imports are less than 2 per cent? Or a 300 per eent Increase on swine, when imports are insignificant? It will hit the common people and hit them hard. It will boost the prices of food, clothing, and shelter. Sugar is raised 60 per cent. Clothing, blankets, wool ere increased. The basic building materials, such as cement, lumber, brick, are pushed upward. And that is not the half of it. The bill's administrative changes are as bad as the rate revisions. It makes the secretary of the treasury, instead of the cusfoms court, the final judge in valuation disputes, and thus opens the way for "American valuation" increases. It eliminates the bi-partisan character of the tariff commission. It makes the tariff commission more subservient to the President, instead of an independent congressional agency. It extends to dangerous limits the flexible system under which the President can fix tariff ra'es. the constitutional function of congress. The bills threat to our diplomatic relations and foreign trade is alarming. Already thirteen foreign government have protested to the state department in one way or another against past and prospective tariff barriers. Our best foreign customers are bitter and are proposing reprisals—Canada, Argentina. Cuba. France. Great Britain and a dozen others. And this foreign trade of ours is what President Hoover and all economists describe as the margin of oug national prosperity. Not content with causing a prospective increase in-the cost of living, with putting the President in a political hole, with sabotaging the independent tariff ctanmission, with embarrassing diplomatic relations, with threatening our foreign trade, the framers of this bill also sides wiped our civil liberties. It would ban economic, philosophical and literary classics under a broad prohibition against alleged obscene and seditious publications, making customs officials the sole judges and censors. After perpetrating such a tariff monstrosity, the Republican leaders of the house are attempting yet

greater folly. They plan to shut off opposition debate with a gag rule. We hope an alliance of intelligent Democrats and intelligent Republicans will succeed in defeating the bill in its present form. If it passes, we hope the President will veto it as g violation of the campaign pledges made by himself and his party. But. if the bill becomes law, the people may not be the only ones to suffer. What about the party? What about the party’s experience in the past? When the Republican protectionists ride too high, rhey ride for a fall. Mussolini and the Bambinos Mussolini’s word is law in Italy. What he says goes in almost everything, from matters of state to what people may read, speak, eat and wear. But the mighty Benito is being defied successfully in at least one thing. Italian women are refusing to comply with his demand that they bear more children so Italy will have a population of 50,000,000 by 1950. ♦ The birth control movement is spreading, we are informed by Professor Gaetano Solvemini. Fifty thousand fewer babies were born in 1927. the year after Mussolini issued his edict, and 60.000 fewer last year. Solvemini says Italy's problem now is one of overpopulation, and that more babies would complicate the problems of poverty and unemployment, This may be a factor in the declining birth rate. But we suspect that the basic reason is that Italian mothers do not lend themselves to the dictators’ dreams of conquest and empire, and decline to become machines to produce his cannon-fodder. Memory of the World war is fresh in the minds of Italian women. Few will blame the mothers. A Sick Industry The cotton mill strikes in the Carolinas and Tennessee are symptoms which show that the textile industry is sick nearly unto death, in the opinion of Ethelbert Stewart, United States commissioner of labor statistics, a close observer of United States industry for nearly fifty years. The textile trade, he holds, is as badly off as the coal industry, and ’’in the hands of men no more competent to solve it.” In the face of the record in coal, this seems a harsh thing to say of anybody, but Stewart seems to prove his point. First among causes for the industry’s ills he lists women's fashions. The first dress he bought for his wife fifty years ago contained twenty-seven yards of goods, he said, while two and one-half yards now is considered sufficient. The day of cotton as a dress goods material is passing, he says. Secondly, overproduction. This is due partially to greatly improved machinery, and partially, as conceded by cotton men themselves, to the almost universal practice, at least in the south, of day and night work. Thirdly, importations, which amounted to $66,000.000 worth in 1027. Stewart is careful to make the point that these importations were made on the basis of quality. Americans rightly or wrongly prizing fine foreign cotton materials above those made here. Also, he adds, more and more foreign countries are making their own cotton goods, tending to reduce our exports. Fourthly, the method of selling, which. Stewart says, “simply dazes intelligent men." The cotton mills sell their products to commission men, who resell them in turn at any price they can, and collect their commission regardless of the selling price. Many manufacturers do not even know their costs of production, he said. All of those factors combined have dragged down the price of cotton goods to from one-third to onehalf of what they were in 1920. And this in turn has dragged down the wages of labor and increased the working hours, wages being only from two-thirds to three-fourths of what they were in 1920, with the northern mills, at least, making little more than half time.

Fog Particles Small

ONE of the surprising things about a fog is the extremely sma 1 amount of water it contains. Asa matter of fact, the amount of water in a cubic inch of fog is so small that it requires the utmost scientific skill to measure it. Measurements of this type were made by Wells and Thuras during an official ice patrol cruise of the

were exceedingly minute. They write: "To gain some idea of the order of magnitude of the quantities involved in this dense fog. assume that one cannot see bevond 100 feet. "A block of fog 3 feet wide. 6 feet high and 100 feet long, contains less than one-seventh of a glass of liquid water. ••This water is distributed among sixty million drops.” In an average fog. it would take 2,500 droplets, placed side by side, to span an inch. In a light fog. there are about 1.000 droplets to the cubic inch In a heavy fog. there are about 20.000, although in some cases, the number may be ten or twen- ! tv times as great It should be remembered, however, that the droplets in a fog are very minute. Occasionally, there are a million droplets to the cubic inch. But even in such 1 cases, the empty space is 30,000 times greater than the amount of space occupied by the fog droplets. The determination of the size of fog particles is an interesting experiment. It is determined by viewing ; through the fog what is known as a ‘'point source of light.” that is. a light shining through a pinhole in an opaque screen. The fog particles diffract the light and cause the formation of rings of colored light. Experiments have shown that the size of these rings of light depend upon the size of the fog particles. Consequently, by measuring the angular diameter of the rings, it is possible to calculate the size of the particles.

M.E. Tracy

SAYS:

President Hoover Probably Is the Best Equipped Man Who Ever Entered the White House, but He Is Just a Man, for All That. TJUNDEEDS of Filipinos give away their property when the sun goes into eclipse. Don't laugh. Under similar circumstances, you might do the same thing. Superstition is a by-product of ignorance. People are forever trying to explain what they do not know. Other methods failing, they fall back on belief in the supernatural. Sometimes they fall back on belief, without even this excuse. In the year 1000, western Europe was thrown into paroxysms by fear that the world was about to come to an end for no better reason than that it was the year 1000. In 1844. many sincere and otherwise intelligent Americans disposed of their possessions, robed themselves in white and mounted roofs because a Mr. Miller t-old them the world would come to an end on a certain day in April. When the world failed to fulfill Mr. Miller’s prophecy, he went over his figures and said that he bad made a mistake and that., the day of doom would be in October. With such sublime faith as passes understanding, a large portion of his followers repeated the performance. a u a Much to Be Learned WHAT we do not know is, and always has been the chief basis of superstition. It still amounts to so much more than what we do know as to leave lots of room In spite of our boasted wisdom and progress, no man has yet climbed the highest hill on earth, or gone more than 350 feet beneath the surface of the sea and lived to tell the tale. On Wednesday, Lieutenant Soucek made a record by ascending nearly eight miles in an airplane. Compared to what has been done, this is remarkable. Compared to what remains to be done, it is nothing. nan Hoover as Miracle Man PROFESSOR ROERICH, recently returned from central Asia, says that he found places where “President Hoover is regarded as a giant who feeds all people. While there may be no such, places in this country, some Americans look on President Hoover as a sort of miracle man. Some others look on him as a near-calamity. There is more or less superstition in both viewpoints. President Hoover probably is the best-equipped man who ever entered the White House, but he is just a man, for all that. Th habit of thought which clothes a President with something approaching supernatural power the moment he is elected, contributes a great deal to the difficulties of the office. 8 8 8 Farm Relief Battle JUST now President Hoover Is having a hard time with farm relief. The senate has ignored his recommendations, while the house appears inclined to support them. As for the public, it is rather more interested in the squabble than anything else, never pausing to think that it will pay the freight no matter who wins. Farm relief, as capitalized by professional gospelers, seems to have created another of its numerous and unnecessary rows. What the gospelers want and what they have wanted ever since the movement began sixty-two years ago, is a direct subsidy so that thay can go back to the six million farmers and say “here, see what we have gotten for you.” Stripped of the verbal smoke screen which has served no purpose so distinctly as to confuse the public, that is what the debenture scheme amounts to. It is worse than a subsidy, because while it would extract hundreds of millions of dollars from the public treasury, it does not guarantee that the farmer will get them. 8 8 8 Bonus for Agriculture THE debenture scheme is based on the idea of paying a bonus on exported farm products in the form of negotiable paper. This negotiable paper can only be used to pay the duty on imports. The farmer does not export his products, wherefore, he would not get the negotiable paper to begin with. Neither does the farmer im- : port much of anything, wherefore j he could not use it. The bonus he is supposed to receive through the debenture scheme j would go to the exporter in the first place and the importer in the next. j Who believes that the exporter: and the importer would not rig up ! some kind of scheme to get the ‘ benefit of what was appropriated for the farmer? 8 8 8 Grow Big Surplus MEANWHILE, the farmer would be encouraged to produce a surplus because of what the debenture scheme promises. What is worse he would be induced to produce a surplus of staple i crops instead of diversifying. | stead of diversifying. The bonus he is supposed to get | would go to the exporter and the | exporter would have to sell it to the 1 mporter in order to convert it into ; cash. ! Ths would merely afford a fur- | ther opportunity for manipulators | to work the farmer.

Red Flannel Once Used as Remedy

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN, Editor Journal of the American Medical Associatio nand of Hygeia, the Health Magazine. SOME people believe that while clothes are cooler than black ones, and that red clothes are warmer than any other color. The symbolism associated with colors is one of the most fascinating aspects of the whole problem of magic and superstition. Almost everyone knows that among most peoples, white is associated with joy and black with sorrow. Among certain peoples of tropical races, the reverse is true. Red in this country means danger, but it is also associated to a considerable extent with pleasure. The exact facts regarding the relative coolness of clothing of various colors have not been absolutely established. To prevent overexposure from sunlight, persons living in tropical countries or places where there is much sunlight, wear garments of closely woven white fabric. This has high reflecting powers

IT SEEMS TO ME

I ['OR the first time in some ten or twenty years I definitely have been shocked by a piece of writing about sex. And yet I am going to ask your permission to print it. Undoubtedly the three paragraphs are not obscene in the eyes of the law, for I draw the quotation from a widely circulated bulletin published by the International Reform Federation. Moreover, the author is Canon William Sheafe Chase, clergyman, and a life-long crusader for censorship on plays and books. Indeed, I beg you to be indulgent with the canon and not judge him too harshly. It is well known that denunciation of things held to be pornographic often will inflame a reformer to a point where he quite unconsciously violates good taste. 8 8 8 Canon Chase Says: O PEAKING of Mary Ware Dennett's “The Sex Side of Life,” Canon Chase writes: “The pamphlet does not correctly speak of sex desires as a longing for motherhood and fatherhood, but as an opportunity for ‘an unsurpassed’ joy and ‘the very greatest pleasure in all human experience.’ Why did Mrs. Dennett misstate this to her children? “Ask a mother how it compares with the pleasure of nursing her own baby and she will tell you the pamphlet criminally is deceiving the young she is trying to teach. “Ask a fine athlete how? the act compares with the joy of winning an athletic contest and he will say that the writer of such advice to the young is not only incorrect, but must be abnormal.” Now I ask you to compare this statement of the good canon with what Mary Ware Dennett has to say on the same subject. And remember that the canon's bulletin is freely circulated, while Mrs. Dennett has been sentenced to pay a fine of S3OO. nun Mrs, Dennett Says: THE sex attraction is the deepest feeling that human beings know.” writes Mrs. Dennett on page nine of her pamphlet. “It is far more than a mere sensation of the body. It takes in the emotion and the mind and the soul, and that is why so much of our happiness is dependent upon it.” And may I ask you on this evidence which seems to you the clean, the healthy and the normal mind, I have said before that the Dennett case went deep into the roots of communal psychology. The defendant was convicted because she dared to say that love was beautiful. Some reformers hold that this is true, but that the fact should be kept quiet in the presence of adolescents. Canon Chase somewhat more logically holds that it shouldn't be said because it isn t true. At least he holds that love

and prevents the transmission of ultraviolet rays to the skin. The bureau of standards of the United States government has proved that the ultraviolet rays pass more easily through open weave fabrics and chat it makes but little difference whether the thread is of a cellulose acetate, cotton, wool or silk, and indeed wheher the color is black, white, red or green, or even a Scotch plaid. Unquestionably the average human being associates the red color with warmth, and red flannel underwear was for many years considered to be the only suitable covering for winter weather. Red is the most important color in medicine and in magic, because it suggests blood. Long before modern scientific medicine, medicinal plants were picked for their colors as well as for their properties. The beautiful red berries of the mountain ash were called St. John’s blood and associated with magical powers. Whenever a human being became .. severely sick, he became anemic, pale and white.

is not to be compared to the ecstasy [ of winning your “Y” by throwing j the hammer in a dual meet. This, of course, is a pretty broad subject and I do not see how it can ; be decided in a debate between j Canon Chase and me. In the first place I do not know whether he qualifies as an expert witness, for in the record books there is no mention of the ra*ces he has run. However, I contend that if Mrs. Dennett errs she has erred in company with Shakespeare, Milton, Wagner, Shelley and the author of “The Song of Solomon.” Respectfully I urge Canon Chase to turn to that part of his Bible and decide for) himself whether the scriptural poet is talking of lacrosse. 8 8 8 Holds No Medals EVEN if it so happens that the Brooklyn pastor can not qualify as one fitted to give expert testimony, I must admit the same about myself. I hold no medals. But years ago I got a pewter mug for winning the tennis championship of the, north entry of Thayer hall. And in spite of that vivid and joyful recollection I still will cast. my vote to string along with Shakespeare and wtih Shelley. If Canon Chase is right, then Romeo was a fool and Juliet no better than abnormal. And Ruth who gleaned should have tended to her sheaves and left Boaz alone. And father Adam, who could not possibly have been corrupted by Mrs. Dennett 'known to the press as “the old gentlewoman”) seems to have given up Eden because of the; love of woman. But in those days j there was no intercollegiate football; and the A. A. U. was nut yet founded. If Canon Chase is right, ail lyric poetry would better be burned by the public hangman and there will hardly be an opera left fit for performance before any who can t abide misstatements. 8 8 8 No Silver Slipper GONE. too. will be the old verities celebrated in the lggends. The prince in the story did not wake the sleeping princess, but rather, left her to sweet slumber’s anethesia and went upon his way to pitch horseshoes at a neighboring palace. And wasn't tflysses naive to fill the sailors' ears with wax lest they hear the song of sirens? Had Canon Chase been on that bridge he would have summoned all hands aft to play deck shuffleboard. And yet the question raised by Canon Chase is not one to be lightly dismissed. If love is but a miner thing, then the world has been wrong-headed from the beginning. Os course Canon Chase may say that he has no desire to minimize that love which is of the spirit. It seems to me that soul and body are subtly interwoven. What God hath joined together let no dogmatic parson put asunder. Canon William Sheafe Chase is

Because of this, the old-time magical doctors cured him by giving him red-colored substances.

not the first pessimist to insist that nature has tricked us all into a sorry mess and that sex is the fundamental blunder of creation. I that case Hamlet was quit'* right in urging a nunnery upon Ophelia, but the canon is almost the first critic to insist that the melancholy Dane was altogether normal. But is it really true that Nurmi knows more of the joy of life than Bobby Burns or any of the Bonnie Frince Charlies? History would be the poorer if Canon Chase is sound in his contention. I'd hate to hear that Antov actually asked for waivers on Cleopatra and finally traded her for a lefthand pitcher and a utility infielder from the Three-I League.
