A New Administration Going into office by the vote of a most iniTkssive majority of citizens, Mayor Sullivan lay takes over the management of city Brs with the hopes and good wishes of who rebelled against the intrusion of partisan politics into the affairs of government. The revolt was against the very efficient machine of CofFmism to which was attributed, rightly or wrongly, sufficient power to prevent the people from obtaining the city manager’system for which they had voted. Whether Mayor Sullivan can dissipate that demand for a government free from party politics remains to be seen. \ ery many believe that the permanent cure for political evils in city affairs is in the city manager form. V ery many more believe that there is a merit inherent in the system itself tnat makes for efficiency. Undoubtedly the new mayor will plan his administration along the lines of the city manager theory as far as possible under present laws, as he was one of the advocates of this system. Sometime the change must be made. The [lowers that usually control the legislature are probably less bitter against its since the election last fall and it may be possible, when the legislature meets, to secure the necessary legislation for such a change. In the meantime, the urgency of the demand will depend upon the manner in which the gov ernment operates. In the task, more difficult perhaps because of the overwhelming vote by which he was elected, the new mayor deserves the support and aid of all good citizens. The Water System As nib final contribution to the public service as mayor, L. hit Slack suggests that the’city should take steps to acquire, own and operate the water system. That a great city should be at the mercy of a private concern for so vital a necessity as water is, of course, an absurdity. The difficulties in the way of public ownership in this case, however, seem to be tremendous. If there be any utility whose product should be served to the people without profit, it is water. Whether the time is propitious for a purchase of the plant under the new powers granted to cities to estaoiish utility districts for purposes of raising funds may be debatable. The valution for rate purposes upon this utility have been fixed by courts at such a tremendous figure that it may be impossible to borrow money with which to make a purchase, even it the present owner, who lives in Philadelphia, found inm-scit in a frame of mind where he would consider a sale to the city without the formalities •of a long court battle. The war added many millions to the valuation, if not the value, of the plant. Under the rules now laid down by the highest courts, the valuation of a utility for rate purposes must be based upon the cost of reproduction. That is something very different from the original investment on which owners might expect to make profits. The cost of pipe at the present time is much more than before the war. Labor is also more costly. It is true that these same factors would enter into the problems of any city which might plan to build for itself anew plant to compete with a private one. The questions open to inquiry are whether it will be cheaper for the people to keep on paying profits to the present owners or interest on the probable purchase price and whether a public-operated plant will be as efficient as the present privately owned system. It is to these questions that Mr. Slack invites inquiry and it should be made. It is unfortunate that the same questions were not raised thirty or forty years ago when the city was smaller and when conditions were different. Cities which were wise enough to then obtain their own plants have reason to be happy over that fact. But an investigation such as is suggested will at least serve to enlighten the people as to all the facts. Grime As Hig Business • Looking Backward" was the title of a famous utopian work of the last century. It is also a leading defect of the human mind, especially in this dynamic and rapidly changing age. I For example, we still talk glibly of the bald ideals ja-ff the age of ruthless competition in a period of vast organization. We perpetuate the phraseology ipf the age of Jay Gould at a time when the interstate Ifcommerce commission actually is directing a merger sos the great railroad systems. In the day of chain stores we still laud the genius of the small independent retailer So with crime, our perspective and phrases are those of the nineteenth century. We assume that we are still in the era when the chief menace from the underworld is the stickup man and the house prowler. We seek to repress crime by searching out single crook? and soaking individuals under the Baumes laws and other habitual criminal acts. But crime foes on as before, and we deplore the groat economic losses which are reported, but rarely recovered. Warden Lawes recently made it clear that the lifers in Sing Sing serving under the Baumes laws were not nvn who had made the large hauls which run our crime bill into the billions. In the current issue of the New York University Law Quarterly Review. Martin Conboy brings some sound sense to bear on the problem and throws a floe of light on the underlying issues at stake. He shows that some 70 per cent of important crimes in large cities are carried on by large organizations of criminals who operate as big business units. He further charges that these organizations enjoy 85 per cent immunity from arrest and conviction. The secretary of an important crime commission recently declared that the really great thefts were made by closely knit and very astute organizations of criminal. He admitted that the police today prac-

tically are helpless in repressing this grade of criminality. The operations are conducted with great skill and the protection is wellnigh perfect. Bootlegging projects have doubtless helped along the technique of organization and procedure. No doubt we must keep the cops chasing free-lance crooks who hold up taxis and pedestrians and blow safes. If, however, we want to get at crime on the grand scale—especially tL. which is economically significant—we must quit thinking and operating in terms of 1900 and contemplate crime and criminals, model 1930. The attention of crime commissions and police systems must be directed toward the technique of the contemporary criminal. Organizations and methods must be provided to cope with the criminality of today on its own terms. That this will prove far more difficult than pouncing on individual crooks of the old order need not be doubted. The size and affluence of the units of “big business crime" give them access to protection and influence that the most glamorous criminal of ye olden day never even dreamed of attaining.

What Makes a Gentleman What makes a gentleman isn’t determined by conventional notions about the proper use of table tools. A college education isn’t involved. Gramatical language has nothing to do with it. There is no relation at all between gentility and the rules about the kind of collar, tie, shirt, socks or shoes to be worn before or after 6 o'clock p. m. Such rules are made* by haberdashers. A man who neither can read nor write and who wears greasy overalls may be a natural gentleman while a college graduate and bank president may be’ anything but. It doesn't depend upon wealth or poverty or position in the social organization, but rather on the natural reactions of a man toward his fellows—and without regard for their position in life. A gentleman neither bows and scrapes to those placed higher in the social scale nor looks down upon those placed lower from the fancied heights of imaginary superiority. A proper and understanding self-respect would prevent him from taking advantage of anybody, rich or poor. For he understands that to rob anybody he must rob himself, to cheat anybody he must cheat himself. This isn't a matter of religion or morals. It isn't because somebody has said, or it has been written in a book, that thou shalt or thou shalt not do thus and so. It isn’t determined by what is legal, according to man-made laws, or what is illegal. Many social crimes are legal. There are tilings that are legal that a gentleman wouldn’t do; and there are things that are illegal that a gentleman would do, and would have to do to maintain his selfrespect. Jesus Christ was a gentleman. One of the most inspirational stories in the New Testament was the one about the woman caught in adultery. According to law she should have been stoned to death. But the law was a cruel law. The Pharisees sought to catch Jesus as a violator of the laws of Moses. They brought the poor woman before him, reminded him of her crime and of the law. Evidently Jesus thought the law cruel, but he knew that the Pharisees were more cruel than the law and that they sought to entrap him. So instead of boldly defying the law he invited him who was without sin to cast the first stone. And they slunk away. Jesus Christ was a gentleman.

REASON By FR S CK

THERE was a great protest on the part of his opponents in congress when Theodore Roosevelt proposed the building of an executive office in the White House grounds, the President's workshop having been in the President's house up to that time, but you will observe that when fire drove President Hoover out of the executive office, built by Roosevelt, the President did not advocate that the offices be returned to the White House to stay. Such a thing would not be tolerated now. a a a There is merit in the proposal that while the President’s office is being restored, the thing should be done right and a real building, one in keeping with the presidential station, erected in place of the burned establishment which always suggested a real estate office in a newly developed section. It need not be large, but it should be built to endure and it should harmonize with the White House. a a a THE state, war and navy building, in which the President camps out in the meantime, has long offended the artistic who have thought it a monstrosity. but the pension office has given more offense than any other structure, its huge, red, sprawling proportions being particularly offensive to the late General Phil Sheridan. When he first saw it Sheridan gasped with horror and then he was informed that it was absolutely fireproof. ‘That’s my greatest objection to it!” replied Sheridan. a a a Senator Tom Heflin did one good thing when he intx-oduced the resolution to have the senate investigate the Fascist League of North America, for the league immediately voted to disband. It is five years since Mr. Mussolini planted this outpost in the United States and it should have been handled just five years ago. ana A GENTLEMAN in Switzerland is working on an invention which will enable a motorist to press a button in his car and stare a radio motor which will open the garage door, but what we really need is a device which will cause a machine to call “Papa!” when the absent minded driver forgets where he parked. a a a The perfection of this rocket by which a plane can be shot over the Atlantc in one hour will be a wonderful thing for our bandits. They can hold up a gas station in Berlin at 4 p. m. and be back in the United States in time to sit at the head of the table and carve. a a a On Christmas day two married couples in Berrien county, Michigan, celebrated 120 years of married life. That's more of it than there’s been in Hollywood, all put together. ana Those who have children are more concerned about the appearance of spinal meningitis than they are about the world court or anything else, which reminds one of the debt we owe medical science.

M. E. Tracy SAYS:

American Law Appears Far More Capable of Catching and Punishing Little Criminals Than Big Ones. AMR. MONOHAN was taken to the Broad Street hospital. New York, last Thursday night in an unconscious condition, apparently caused by Injuries to his head. Doctors removed a two-inch sliver of wood from his brain, which was turned over to detectives from the Old Slip station, and which was identified by them as part of a street sweeper's broom. With that as their only clew, the detectives went to the section room of the street cleaning department on Cherry street, where they found a broom from which a sliver was missing. The sliver from Monohan’s head fitted the place exactly. tt tt tt Fernando Ragonese was identified as wielder of the broom, and was accused of having assaulted Monohan, which he denied. The detectives then proceeded to find out where Ragonese was on Thursday night. After questioning several witnesses they learned that he and a companion had had a fight with Monohan, in which he had used the broom as a club.

THAT is what you might call a •piece of good detective work. It exemplifies just the kind of skill one likes to associate with the New York police department. No citizen can read it without feeling a little more secure in life and liberty. But it only serves to make some of the department’s blunders more inexplicable. tt tt tt Misses Big Hauls Having proved its ability to catch a poor street cleaner, with no more than a sliver of wood to go by, one wonders why the New York police department couldn't solve the Rothstein case. Or coming down to more recent events, why couldn’t the New' York police department find Ciro Terranova, ■who was accused of staging a fake holdup to get possession of a contract he had signed with a Chicago gunman for the killing of Franke Yale and Frank Marlow? tt tt tt Lack of What? Reporters had no difficulty in locating Mr. Terranova within twenty-four hours after he had been accused of this fake holdup by Inspector Donovan, but for some inscrutable reason the police department could not discover that it wanted him, much less where he lived, until he had departed for Atlantic City. The speed with which a street sweeper can be apprehended stands out in amazing contrast to the clumsiness with which the New York police department moves when gamblers, big gangsters or artichoke kings are involved. Ordinary folks are puzzled to know whether this contrast is due to lack of skill, or will. tt tt a At that, the New York police department is typical, rather than exceptional. On every hand, American law appears far more capable of catching and punishing little criminals than big ones. No trouble at all with the pint peddler, or petty thief, but lots of it with the wholesale bootlegger and the man who steals millions. This is in strange contradiction to our general theory of things. We like tall buildings because they can be seen, and big banks because they stand for greater security. When it comes to crime, however, we appear to be blinded by size. a tt a Easily Go Blind IF an automobile is parked in the wrong place, if a farmer makes a batch of home brew, or if a lawless kid breaks a window, our enforcement officers seem to be lynxeyed, but when it comes to the diversion of a thousand barrels of industrial alcohol, or murder in high places, they seem to have suffered total loss of their faculties. Worse still, the peculiar affliction seems to have entered the court room itself, and to have become a part of the administration of justice. In one state, the supreme court declares that a jury may drink the evidence even to the extent of forty-nine bottles of beer. Though the man who made the beer and from whom the law took it must go to jail for six months. In another state, it is a felony to sell a pint of hooch, and four felonies call for a life sentence, though speakeasies are adjudged satfe when it comes to the collection of life insurance. If coast guardsmen get drunk, a. court-martial can be arranged over night, but if they kill someone it takes weeks to decide whether anything should be done.

Absolute Quiet Vital After Operation

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia. the Health Magazine. of the most serious things that can happen to a human being is to get an embolus in his blood stream. An embolus is some foreign material, usually soiid, that gets loose in the circulation and travels around until it comes to a place where the blood vessel is so narrow that it can travel no farther. Then the embolus stops and the blood is unable to get beyond it to feed the tissues which ordinarily are supplied with blood by the blood vessel concerned. When the tissue fails to receive blood it dies or becomes so weakened that secondary infection sets in promptly. The result is gangrene or abscess, in many instances sufficiently severe to cause death. Some of the parts of the body are fortunately supplied with blood not only by one blood vessel, but by several.

IT SEEMS TO ME * HE B = D

THIS is the first time in several years that I have -abstained from writing a column about New Year resolutions. Invariably about this time I do a piece in which I pretend that I have just sworn off smoking. This can be a very funny column. At least, it always amused me. The writer declares in the first paragraph that he is done with cigarets forever and that it is no trouble at all to get along without them and then he keeps saying this so much and so vehemently that the reader knows he is restless and taut and and just about to backslide. The same sort of column could be done about cocktails or poker. But for 1930 I'm not swearing off anything. Os course, I intend to lose five or six pounds in the next two months , and get thin again and I have an inclination to work harder than ever before. tt tt tt That Diet AS things stand at the moment I have gone a solid twentyfour hours without so much as a single cheese blintz or any other sort of wholesome and nourishing food. I had an orange for brr/tkfast and a cup of clam juice for lunch, but there’s no satisfaction in snacks of that sort. However, the regimen is necessary, for yesterday afternoon the scales showed that Broun Common had touched anew high for all time. I tried another set of scales and it was the same thing within three or four pounds. There was nothing to do but face the emergency bravely. At the moment I am one of the best short sales in the market. There is just a touch of tragedy in the situation. Only a week ago I accomplished a life’s ambition. An all-night lunchroom on Seventh avenue has named a sandwich after me. Year after year I went to this place and observed with envy on the menu, “The Walter Winchell Special,” “The Jean Ackerman,” “The Texas Guinan,” “The Jimmy Walker.” Chorus girls, columnists, night hostesses and mayors were honored, but all that the management would do for me was to keep the bacon

-DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

In such cases the stopping of one blood vessel may cause a temporary disturbance until the other blood vessels can take up its functions. In \other parts of the body only a single blood vessel is able to circulate blood to the part and when such blood vessels are stopped the result is usually an extremely serious condition, not infrequently leading to death. For instance, stopping of some of the blood vessels which reach the kidneys, the lungs, the heart and portions of the brain may be followed promptly by the most serious type of symptoms. The things which act as emboli are usually blood clots. When a leg is fractured, fat may get into a blood vessel or into the bone and be absorbed into the blood. The fat particle travels about as an embolus. If there are encrustations on the valves of the heart when the heart is infected with various germs, these encrustations may break off and circulate through the blood. Sometimes collections of germs

crisp if I insisted. And not always that. Probably there are not more than a dozen perfect bacon cooks in the entire Unted States. But for the fact that I am one of them, the subject would never have come up. Maybe there aren’t eleven others. tt u a The Sandwich HOWEVER, to stick to the subject, three major ambitions have animated my life. I have always wanted to receive the honorary degree of doctor of letters, see a picture of myself and Peggy Joyce in a Palm Beach wheel chair printed in a rotogravure section and have a sandwich named after me. 'The doctorate and the wheel chair will have to wait, but I’ve got my sandwich. “Just what is this Heywood Broun special on your menu?” I asked the waiter. “It’s a triple-decker, sir,” he explained. “The top layer is chicken fat and under that comes a slice of salami and then the peanut butter. Os course, it’s got lettuce and tomatoes with it besides the Bermuda onion.” But with the weighing machines all going crazy as they have, I wouldn’t dare to touch a Heywood Broun special unless they left out the chicken fat, and the salami and the peanut butter and most of the bread. That, of course, would destroy its individuality. And so the sandwich is doomed to languish. It takes a good deal of personal initiative to put over a thing like that. Even the now-famous ham sandwich probably needed press agentry and propaganda in the beginning. Lacking leadership, I’ll bet there are evenings when Dave doesn’t sell a cool fifty of the Heywood Broun special. But if he’ll only be patient with me through a few months of oranges and clam juice, I’ll promise to eat a dozen of the specials at a single sitting. a tt tt Not Modest POSSIBLY you notice a swaggering note in the column today. That’s put in on purpose. Two things I neglected to say in the earlier paragraphs. One New Year resolution I did

the battle cruisers Invincible and Inflexible, the Canopus, the cruisers Carnarvon, Cornwall, Kent and Glasgow, the light cruiser Bristol, the Orama and the armed liner Macedonia. Do the circuses still have headquarters at Peru, Ind.? The Hagenbeck-Wallace, the John Robinson and the Sells-Floto circuses have their winter quarters there. Will orange or grapefruit juice corrode tin? No, but they would act upon iron over which there was a poor or broken plating of metallic tin.

massed together travel as an embolus. Sometimes a blood clot developed by a bruise or an operation may break off a portion which will pass in the blood. Even an air bubble may on occasion circulate through the blood and if sufficiently strong may block a biood vessel. When this situation occurs, it Is usually promptly realized by the family that the condition is serious and a physician is called. In many instances there is little that can be done besides giving the human body every possible opportunity to overcome the serious situation by putting the patient at complete rest and aiding his weakened tissues. In some instances, a surgical operation is necessary for the removal of the portion that has become gangrenous. The explanation of the nature of an embolus will help the uninformed to understand why physicians find it so necessary after extensive surgical operations to keep the patient completely at rest until the blood clots have been absorbed.

make, after all, and in the list of major ambitions, “To be sued for breach of promise by a Broadway star,” should have been included. The resolution was about modesty. I’m done with that for 1930. It started at a party “I suppose,” said the young lady in the speakeasy, “that you think your column is good.” Before midnight she had been a stranger to us all, and so I had not supposed that personal matters would come up. But an answer was required. I said, “Yes.” “I think it’s rotten,” she said. “Nevertheless and notwithstanding, I think it’s simply swell,” I told her. Os course, I exaggerated a little, but, after all, the New Year had just arrived and nobody had asked her for an opinion, anyway. (Copyright. 1830. by The Times)

NEW MEXICO ADMITTED -—January 6

ON Jan. 6, 1912, New Mexico was admitted to the Union. Although the state legislature was strongly Republican, the first Governor to be elected was a Democrat, William C. McDonald. He was elected by a coalition of Democratic and Progressive Republican voters. The legislature on March 12, 1912, elected Albert B. Fall and Thomas B. Catron, United States senators. Senator Fall drew the short term (one year), but at the end of that time he was elected to succeed himself. Two years later three constitutional amendments were carried—one reducing the terms of county and state officials from four to two years, another permitting such officials to succeed themselves, and the third eliminating the state board of equalization and repealing the clause on taxation.

SCIENCE By DAVID DIETZ

New Puzzle Looms on Horizon to Bother the World ol Scientists. PSYCHO-PHYSICS" may be the next branch of science to make its sudden entry upon the horizon of an already puzzled and startled world. At least, that is a rersonable conclusion from the present trend of the science of physics. First, the development of the atomic theory brought about a union of physics end chemistry Into physical chemistry. Next, astronomers turned to atomic theory for explanations of what was happening in the stars. Asa result, astrophysics came into existence. And now, it looks as though the next, scientific union would be that of physics and psychology Into what one presumes, will be christened “psycho-physics.” As usually is the case with upsets in modern scientific theory, Professor Albert Einstein of relativity fame is to blame. Einstein started it when he pointed out that measurements of space, time and velocity were not absolute, but always relative to the observer. Psychology deals with “observers, and so Einstein’s dictum threw psychological phenomena. It. is interesting to notice the result! For years, physicists have been belaboring psychologists, urging them to be more exact, more definite, more concrete, in short to be better scientists. Now the tables are turned. It is the psychologists who are beginning to belabor the physicists, urging them to be more definite and concrete and to be less hasty to jump to philosophical conclusions, in short, to be better scientists. tt tt Uncertainty THE first sharp attack upon the physicists is made by Professor Albert P. Weiss, psychologist of Ohio State university. He writes an article in the current issue of the Scientific Mont lily, official publication of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, criticising the views which Professor P. W. Bridgman, physicist of Harvard university, recently expressed in an article in Harper's Magazine. Professor Bridgman drew certain philosophical conclusions from the famous Heisenberg “principle of uncertainty.” This principle represents an extension of Einstein’s dictum that all measurements are relative to the observer to a statement that nothing exists unless it can be measured by an observer. Now the present state of affairs in physics is such that an experimenter can measure the velocity of an electron or he can measure the position of an electron, but he must sacrifice one to measure the other. He can not measure both. Consequently, since it is impossible to measure both position and velocity, it Is impossible to predict what an electron will do next. This is the “principle of uncertainty.” Professor Bridgman writes: “A body has position only in so far as its position can be measured; if its position can not in principle be measured, the concept of apsition applied to the body is meaningless, or in other words, a position of the body does not exist. “Hence if both the position and the velocity of the electron can not in princple be measured, the electron can not have both position and volocity; position and velocity as expressions of properties which an electron can simultaneou :Jy have are meaningless.” tt u m Existence PROFESSOR WEISS takes sharp Issue with this point of view. It remains to be seen what reply physicists will see fit to make. The average layman, no doubt, will be Inclined to agree with Professor Weiss. In fact, he will be grateful to him for opposing the philosophical chaos of the “principle of uncertainty.” Replying to the passage from Professor Bridgman just quoted Professor Weiss writes: “Instead of saying a position of the body does not exist, the only scientific statement that is warranted is the one already made, viz., ‘its position can not in principle be measured.’ “Again there is no justification for affirming that before a body can exist, it is necessary for some physicist to formulate its position. “The ‘hence’ clause only means that if the measurement of the position of an electron is dependent on light darts, it may be forever impossible to formulate its position at some specified instant because the only way we have of measuring the position of an electron is through the indirect action of light darts on the sensitive structures In the retina of the eye. “There is nothing meaningless about this. It is merely the statement of an experimental limitation. “Such limitations are so frequent in the biological and social sciences that they are regarded as a matter of course.”
