Impossible Injunctions That any judge in this country could. under any circumstances. issue an injunction preventing officers of the lav- from making arrests for crime committed before their eyes is unthinkable. That any sworn officer of the law could interpret ary court order a*- handcuffing him in his dutv suggests an over-cautious attitude toward the court or a very uncomplimentary view of the judge who issued an order that might be obscure in its meanings. Prime by injunction is an impossibility. The precedents of many centuries are against any such monstrous thought. That courts mizht intervene to prevent oppressive act' of officials, the misuse of power to interfere with legitimate enterprises or activities, is more than possible. There are times when such intervention is necessary to protect the rights of citizens. But when th c re is open and conclusive evidence of crime, the dutv of officers of the law is plain and clear. No judge would think of punishing an officer for performing his plain duty. He might be righteously indignant, if he discovered that he had been imposed upon and led to issue an order that had for its secret purpose the terrifying of officers or binding of thdr hands while illegal acts were being performed. It should not bp necessary to even qualify injunctions with the terms “legal" and “lawful'’ in describing the enterprises to be protected by injunctions against officials. It should be assumed that, the enterprises to be protected ar p legal and within the law, otherwise they could have no standing in a court of equity. The first rule is that those whp plead in courts of equity must come with clean hands, and that those who have something concealed within their palms or up their sleeves have no standing in any such courts. As never before, it is necessary that there be respect for courts and for the orders of courts. Ir is neeessarv that the citizenship obey such orders. It is more necessary that it believe that the courts are citadels of even handed justice, always ready to pre\ent injustice. always ready to punish crime, always ready to give to every person his rights and at the same time to punish crime. There is a “respect for courts” that might even he contemptuous. That is a respect for a court order which interprets it as protecting crime. For there can never he such an injunction. If courts are tricked into issuance of an order which has for an ulterior and hidden purpose the violation of any law, the highest resppet that* can he paid to courts by officials to whom it is directed is a vigorous enforcement of the law. To interpret any order otherwise is to become contemptuous of courts. Plenty to Do The.senate Indian investigating committee starts out this week on another tour of inquiry, this time into Wisconsin, Montana and the Dakotas. It is a reopening of the senate investigation which has been awaiting a recess of congress so senators could absent themselves from Washington long enough to sift- the vast accumulation of evidence of special investigators. When the investigation began there was a different administration in control oi the Indian affairs. Today, anew President, anew secretary of the interior. and anew Indian commissioner, with his assistant. are on the job So far as Indian bureau policy is considered, there is strong evidence that the old nays no longer will be tolerated and that improvements are being made. The fault still is with the system and the organization that has thrived under it. A change in policy fa.nf} a change in administrations at the top does no good, if down the line to the lowliest employe the old order of things continues. The duty of the senate committee is to show up the weak points in the organization, to show the new directors of the Indian service where the housecleaning is needed most. The new secretary of the interior, the new Indian commissioner, and his assistant will ieam things to their advantage if they follow the information developed. The Indian must be given back his rights. Government supervision must be conducted no longer in such a manner that the Indian can be exploited and his property stolen. Reorganizing the Government Pres.dent Hoover, we are told, is giving much study to the proposed reorganization of the executive departments and will recommend changes to congress. It will be expected that a President with a genius for organization and a passion for efficiency would undertake the task. While the desirability of the reorganization is conceded. its accomplishment will be difficult. Predecessors of Mr. Hoover realized the need, perhaps as well as he but were unable to make their recommendations effective. Once a bureau is created, the pressure for its continuance is enormous. The bureau can offer strong arguments to justify its existence. Its friends use their influence with congress Persons who have jobs quite naturally are unwilling to give them up, and hang on •with all their strength Patronage is an important factor Reorganization would save money and promote efficiency. The saving would be worth while, but not large in relation to the total budget, since fixed expenditures, like those for the veterans’, bureau, the

army and the navy, and reduction of the public debt constitute the great bulk of the federal outlay. The chief gain would be in better and more busi-ness-like functioning of the vast machinery of federal government. There are many research and scientific agencies which well might be united. Dozens of separate bureaus are interested in public construction. The veterans' bureau and the pension office have no connection, but are engaged in similar activities. There are numerous independent agencies and commissions which it has been recommended be brought under control of departments. Many similar instances of duplication and overlapping could be cited, elimination of which would aid efficiency. Reorganization at best will not be sudden or revolutionary, nor as complete as theoretically it might bf> desirable. However, if congress will go along with the President he can accomplish much. Propaganda in Education The National Education Association, an organization of teachers, has moved to keep propaganda out of the public schools. A resolution adopted unanimously at the society's Atlanta convention declares “the schoolroom is not the proper theater for religious, political, or personal propaganda." and that “the teacher should not permit his educational work to be used for partisan politics, personal gain or selfish propaganda of any kind.” The resolution was included in a cede of ethics which a committee has been preparing for several years. The reference to propaganda no doubt was promoted by disclosures by the federal trade commission of the extent to which power companies were using schools to promote their war on public ownership. Specific reference was not made to power company activities. This is not surprising, but it is disappointing. The American Federation of Teachers in convention at Chicago went further. Direct mention was made of the “power trust” and its efforts “to poison the mind of America toward the public ownership of utilities, especially water power.” Employment of educators by the power interests was called a betrayal of the teaching profession. The action of the two groups should do much to keep the power people and others from using the schools to promote their own selfish interests. Os All Places A party of educators is starting abroad to investigate new and unusual prison reforms. The destination of this party will be a surprise to most readers because it is soviet Russia. American penologists consider Russian prisons in some respects far superior to those of the United States. Reforms that have attracted world-wide attention have been instituted by that country. There is a popular misconception here of Russian prisons, based on stories of the Siberian mines recently much exploited in the movies. Russia has its black chapter of prison history, bul , so have we. The use of prisoners in the coal mines and the prison farms of the south is not entirely j stamped out and stories of horrible cruelties that come from that section are not all exaggeration by ; any means. Prison reform still is needed, and probably will al- ; ways be needed. If Russia has anything to teach us, we should be ready to learn. | London dress reformers urge that men discontinue wearing trousers. That's placing quite a responsibility on the fog.

Fats and Proteins No. 402

FATS are one of the constituents of the cells of living organisms. We have already discussed the carbohydrates, the simplest of the organic compounds in protoplasm. The fats are more complex than the carbohydrates. A fat is a compound of glycerol with a fatty acid. The fatty acids include bytyric acid, stearic acid, palmitic acid and so -on. Glycerol is known popularly as glycerin, though chemists prefer to call it glycerol. Plants, it w-ill be remembered, manufacture their c a r b ohydrates

contains only the three elements, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. The fats are then built up by the combination of the glycerol with the fatty acids which are present in the organism. Some tats are very complex, consisting of a combination of several fatty acids with glycerol. A few of the familiar animal fats are butter, lard and tallow, while familiar plant fats are olive oil, coconut oil. castor oil and so on. The third organic constituent of protoplasm is still more complex. It is the proteins. Proteins always contain nitrogen, and usually phosphorus, sulphur and iron as well. By substituting a combination of nitrogen and hydrogen known as the amino radical for the simple hydrogen, certain fatty acids can be turned into what are known as amino acids. Proteins are combinations of amino acids. Just as simple molecules of carbohydrate can be made into more complex ones by dehydration or the process of driving off some of the oxygen and hydrogen to form water, so the amino acids can be combined by dehydration. Protein molecules are exceedingly complex. Some of them contain several thousand atoms. There are many different kinds of proteins. Each organism has a kind of protein which is specific for it. Chemists have been able to duplicate in the laboratory. the carbohydrates and the fats. They have flso been able to manufacture amino acids. But as yet. they have not succeeded in synthesizing amino acids into proteins. The other two chemical constituents of protoplasm have already been mentioned and need no detailed discussion. They are water and a.iew mineral salts.

M. E. Tracy SAYS:

Hasn’t Science Enough to Do Without Paicing Over Corpses to See If They Smell of Liquor? BAR HARBOR. Maine.—Drunk or sober, Wilmer Stultz was a great pilot. Why not let it go at ithat? Why spoil years of good service : by casting doubt on the last few ! moments of a man's life? Hasn't science enough problems to solve without pawing over corpses to see if they smell of liquor? Besides, the precedent is danger- ; cus, for if we can tell whether a I dead man took too much by disi secting and analyzing his organs. | who knows but some ardent dry I will recommend such tests for the j living? e a a Ford and Mergers HENRY FORD is for one big national power company. He says we criticise the mergers unjustly, that we think too much about their profits and too little about their service. Maybe we do. and, by the same token, mat’be Mr. Ford thinks too much about the economic side of the question and too little about the political. What we do with regard to monopoly. or competition, is not all a matter of money, or creature comfort. That institution which makes us dependent on it. also makes us slaves to it. Before we go too far. we ought to know what kind of men are going to run it and how they are going to be selected. 808 Men Still Are Human THERE is danger in trying to make the world happy on too large a scale. Men still are human, still subject to the temptations of wealth and authority, still liable to abuse their privileges. Mechanical efficiency may indicate single control, but political security does not. We can not afford to become so infatuated with the conveniences of modern life as to let it run away with rights. BBS John D. and Son JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER has accomplished three remarkable things—made a billion, lived; to be 90 and reared a son fit to carry on his work—but the last is by far the most remarkable. Most sons are either too much like their fathers, or too much out j of sympathy with their father’s work. When a man has made a great j fortune he does not need a son who can make it bigger, or who will | squander it, but one who will know how to handle it intelligently, who will husband it on the one hand, and put it to good use on the other. John D. Rockefeller has been peculiarly fortunate in this respect. So, too. has America. B B B The Siamese Twins TWO Filipino lads of 21. joined together at the base of their spines and. therefore, called Siamese twins, though they never saw Siam, , want to get married, especially since | they have discovered two sisters willing to take the chance. The license clerk at Manila objects on the ground that they are one person and can not have two wives. But the court says that it is not so. Holding that they are two persons, though science dare not cut them apart. The question is not so one-sided as it might seem at first glance. Both must not only live together, but die together. If one wishes to go to a certain place, what can the other do but accompany him and if one were to commit murder, what chance would the other have of escaping conviction as at least an accessory? The original Siamese twins were married, but not altogether, happily in one case. Together they lived for sixty-five years, but when one of them died, the other only survived six hours, though in an apparently healthy condition. They spent the latter part of their lives in one of the Carolinas where they ran a farm, after being baptized under the name of Bunker. B B B The Pact of Paris JAMES KELLY, president of the European Christian Endeavor Union, says that the “pact of Paris” and other agreements to promote world peace are mere sops for the gullible. “As far as appearance goes.” he says, “the cause of peace appears to have progressed, but war has been renounced only on a scrap of paper.” Most things of moral, social, political consequence are done on a scrap of paper in the beginning at least, and the late war was really to determine whether scraps of paper were to be respected. BBS Scraps of Paper JUST where would we be if it were not for the the scraps of paper and the good faith which stands back of them? Scraps of paper have not only i created our educational, but re- • ligious. system. Scraps of paper, whether in the form of private contracts, or gov- • ernment pledges, form the basis of commerce, trade, industry and | exchange. Scraps of paper are about all ! that separates this age from the jungle, when you come to think of it.

This is the second of a series of articles in which tennis is discussed as a summer sport from the doctor's viewpoint. 888 BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine. THE German p hysician Lorentz has attempted to study the best type of body build for the playing of tennis. The wide variety of body build existing among members of the Davis cup teams and even among women players indicates that championship ability does not rest with any particular type of figure. The French players, who apparently lead the world today, and the tiny Japanese, have an ability that is almost parallel. An occasional player of championship tennis is exceedingly tall; very few are exceed-

IF you are an individual and settle for 10 cents on the dollar, your creditor calls you a, bankrupt, but if you are a nation like France, you settle for 10 cents on the dollar and call your creditor, “Shylock!” 888 Yuko Hamaguchi, the new premeir of Japan, is called “the lion.” I Before one goes into politics, he should by all means arrange to be called some inspiring nick-name, such as “Old Eat ’em Alive.” 888 Another thing every statesman should do is to carefully select his last words. A giant never knows when he may be chased off the pike by a truck and he should be able to utter some final observance which will bring home the bacon when it is carved upon his tomb. 888 This Waukegan (111.) citizen who ended his life because a neighbor fired a giant firecracker under his chair, reminds one of the happy Chinese custom which induces the follower of Confucius to kill himself on your doorstep in order to get even with you. 888 We propose for the hall of fame, Judge Chester L. Ducomb of South Bend. Ind., because he dismissed the case against a mar. charged with ; attempted assault and said to the ! woman's husband; “If you want to 1 protect your wife's chastity, take her home and put more clothes on her.” This is the greatest utterance since Patrick Henry said; “Give me liberty or give me death!” a a a • IF President Hoover wishes to reduce the cost of running the 1 government, he can make the best possible start by firing half of those I now holding clerkships in Washing- | ton. 888 We are surprised to see that John Coolidge is studying business ad- ! ministration at Harvard, for his ! wedding was talked about last wini ter and we expected him to be takj ing a course in domestic science this ! summer. 888 This new national origins plan de- ; creases the immigration from Ireland. Germany. France, Norway and Sweden and increases it from Great Britain. Corsica, Italy, Austria Poland and Russia. We fail to see why Uncle Sam should declare any dividend on account of this proposition. 888 A New York man was sent up lor three years for making his boy beg.

ingly heavy in weight. In general, it may be said that persons of average body height and weight are best qualified for this game. On the other hand, excessive fat is distinctly not an asset. Above everything else, tennis demands speed and quick motion. Excess fat is bound to interfere with si*h activity. The game also places a considerable demand on the heart and on the respiration. It is therefore advisable to make sure that these organs are in good condition before serious tennis playing is undertaken. Gradual training for championship in any sport is necessary. One begins by light exercises, gymnastics, running, rope skipping and similar forms of activity and slowly works up the respiration and the heart, and even the gastro-intestinal tract to undergo more serious demands. Experts in training recommend massage and thorough rub-downs after each morning or afternoon activity and steady exercise in order to permit the muscles to relax properly and to avoid the stiffness which is bound to occur in the untrained athlete after severe exertion. The best trainers recommend gymnastics each morning and evening in order to loosen the muscles and aid their flexibility and prompt response. Tennis is primarily a summer sport. It is associated with much perspiration and loss of weight, with overheating and the possibility of

Editor Indianapolis Times—l see in your July 2 issue that the inmates of the Soldiers’ home at Lafayette are complaining of the food given them. I have been waiting for four years to hear this from someone. not wanting to start the subject alone. My mother went there in June. 1924, and they put her in the hospital. She was 85 years old then, and was there only five weeks. She came home to me almost starved. It was more than four weeks before she began to build up. I received a letter every day during that time, begging me to bring her home. In the hospital the food was wheeled in long before they were up and put down for them to eat. when they got ready. It consisted of coffee. skimmed milk for cream, a fried egg and biscuit—all of which was cold. My mother could not each such food', and when she entered my door she at once offered up a prayer, thanking Our Maker for deliverance from such a place. And that was not all that happened, some too ridiculous to believe. But I believe everything they said. Yet they hold their pension checks.

STATE GRANTED CHARTER July 8 TWO hundred and sixty years ago today, July 8. 1663, Rhode Island was granted a crown charter by King Charles 11. The charter was so broad and liberal that it virtually made Rhode Island a “little republic.” Its grants were marked by a liberality never before exampled and it added the extraordinary provision that “no person within said colony at any time should be anywise molested, punished, disquieted or called in question for any differences of opinion in matters of religion which did not actually disturb the civil peace of the colony.” Granting of this amazing charter climaxed the fight of Roger Williams, founder of the colony, for absolute religious tolerance among his followers.

Chemistry

Most of the Possibilities of Modern Life Are Due to the Achievements in This Science. BY DR. CHARLES >L A STINE Ch*micl Director of the E. X. du Pont it Nemours & Cos. Written Especially for N~A Service and The Times MODERN life owes most of its possibilities to chemistry. Chemistry has been able to release man from purely manual drudgery and free him to lead a life of the mind and spirit, rather than a life of bondage to physical labor which was the lot of our ancestors. The clock we glance at on awakening owes its luminous dial, its crystal, its compensatory movements, even its fabnkoid case-cov-ering to chemistry. Our pajamas are rayon, the first artificial fiber produced by man, dyed with chemical dyes whose brilliancy lasts as long as the fabric. The sheets of our bed and the coverlets and blankets all owe either color or softness to chemistry: even the bedsprings themselves were produced by metallurgical chemistry. The tiled floor and the pyroxylin paneled walls of the bathroom are chemical products. The porcelain enameled tub, the various fixtures and the mirror are all produced by some wizardry of the chemist. ,Not only the razor we shave with, but- the brush and shaving soap have been improved by chemistry. a b b THE suit which we wear is chemically dyed by the new fast dyes which have done so much to improve the wear of fabrics. The buttons on it are molded from a plastic. chemically produced. Our necktie is very likely rayon. The ink and the paper of our daily newspaper are both chemical products. The morning glass of water is cleared of germs by the chemist. Our ham or bacon is preserved chemically and. shipped and kept, in i refrigerated state; again a chemical triumph, since the very ice is chemically produced. Our bread is kept sanitary by a transparent cellophane wrapping which also keeps it moist. The kitchen where breakfast is prepared is as much a laboratory product as the bathrom. The pipes, the taps, all metal ware, even the aluminum, glass and enameled cooking utensils, owe their shining perfection to the chemist. The gas range is chromium plated to keep it rustless. The walls are cheerfully colored in a washable lacquer. All the furniture of the house in fact is enameled with this extremely wearable finish. BBS ON leaving the house to get our car, we slip on rubbers and perhaps a raincoat. Both have been chemically treated; the rubber to prevent it deteriorating with the action of air and heat and the raincoat with a material which leaves it rainproof and yet light in weight. Our car is entirely chemical, from the special “gas,” which makes it run smoothly, to the waterproof top and the durable colored enamels. The batteries, the tires, even the button on the horn are the results of chemistry, the latter a chemical resin. In the business man’s office the telephone and dictaphone both remind us of the hundreds of chemists constantly experimenting to improve those materials. The very office building itself, put up in record time, owes its rapid completion to the fact that dynamite has increased greatly the amount and availability of metals and minerals, as compared with hand labor production in mines. bbb THE fountain pen we sign our letters with is a chemical product. just being made of a plastic called pyralin. The shoe paste, which the shine boy is using on our shoes contains a chemical dye and other elements; the box tee of the shoe is Dumfold. a chemical product which preserves the shape of the shoe. At dinner the various tropical and western fruits, vegetables, the game and meats are available because of the refrigerated cars used in shipping. Even the matches or lighter we use afterward on our cigaretg, cigars or pipes, are chemical products. If we pick up a magazine, we remember that the colored photographs are the triumph of a chemist. If we go to the movies instead if staying at home, we are treated : o a thousand chemical productions vhich make the talking and the noving picture possible.
