A Special Session The old adage of the ill wind maj npplj to the political fears of the dominant party in now urging a special session of the legislature to carve the state into districts for the election of congressmen in a manner that promises the greatest chance to elect its ov\ members. There is a great fear that the next legislature, which will otherwise be forced to take action of some kind, may not be so completely Republican and the Democrats might have not only the purpose, but the power, to force through some fairly safe districts for themselves. A special session of the legislature would not be an unmitigated evil. It could be very useful. Os course, it would take care of the impoverished school districts which will otherwise be forced to nose their school houses for lack of funds. The legislature might even go so far as to discover the causes for the present condition. It might even dig up the facts concerning administration and distribution. It might locate vast waste as well as great carelessness. After that, it could very profitably investigate the highway problem and the manner in which twenty millions of dollars each year are being spent oy a board w'hose capacities and abilities leave much to be desired. That huge fund is the largest tax upon the people and yet it is left to a board that is political rather than scientific. The board meets but monthly, and perhaps even that is too often. But so large a fund and so huge a burden should demand the constant care of a body of men specially trained for that purpose and paid large enough salaries to keep them above temptation. There should be at least one engineer who knows the problems. It would be too much to expect, of course, that the special session would investigate the possibilities that lie in the establishment of a state owned cement plant to be operated by the prisons. The state has a surplus of prison labor. It is becoming difficult to find work for its convicts. The cost of making cement, compared with the price now paid, is worth looking into. Let it be hoped that the political urgency of the congressional reapportionment will be strong enough to force the special session. There is always a chance when the legislature meets, to remedy some mistakes and omissions. Our Spare Time Men are at work in the government and in industry hunting ways to abolish drudgery. Machines are being invented every year to save men from hard and tedious toil. A dozen forces are moving us toward a shorter working day and a shorter working week. But no one is studying the problem of leisure thus obtained. II the time comes when man works only six hours a day and four days a week, what is he going to do with three free days and his idle hours at the end of other days? With time free for study and appreciation and creative work, will we become at last a nation sensitive to beauty, with new arts of our own? Will we become a nation of athletes, building up h tradition of physical development? Or will we crowd into amusement places; or turn to crime; or vent a great restlessness in battle and conquest? These are questions that should not be left to answer themselves. We are not a nation of fatalists. We constantly try to shape our own destinies; and this problem calls for our best thought. Perhaps it will be necessary to alter the whole system by which we educate our young. Perhaps we will discard a whole background of ideas and ideals and build new ones. And the time for all this is short. The machines whir faster, offering us freedom and challenging us to take it. Sugar Suckers The bl-partisan lobby investigation committee of the senate wisely has Incorporated in Its special sugar report a statement on the lobbyists’ relation to President Hoover. Referring to the President, the report stated: "In all this, your committee finds no impropriety nor anything open to censure or criticism." It might be supposed that such statement of the correctness of the President’s position would be unnecessary. It might be assumed that no one would believe the absurd claims and innuendoes of lobbyists, who boast of their • contacts" and their "influence” in high places. But that is a mistaken assumption. For the one thing that this lobbying investigation has proved over and over again Is the unexpected and almost unbelievable credulity of the big business interests which have been milked by the lobbyists. The committe found, for instance, that something like $400,000 had been spent on lobbyists by the business groups favoring and oppering a sugar tariff increase. The antis spent more money on lobbying, because the proa were better heeled with friends in the senate. And with what result? All that these business groups have succeeded in doing is to make it more difficult for the senate or for newspapers or for citizens, who otherwise would do so sincerely, to support their position. to general, citizens - organisations and newspapers long have opposed an increase in the sugar tariff on the ground that it neealessly would increase the cost of living without stimulating growth of an economic-

ally sound domestic industry. This newspaper has taken that position. But we must confess that it is somewhat embarrassing to find ourselves in company with that unscrupulous and financially interested Cuban low tariff sugar ]< l-’ y, which has spread lies about its relationship to .he White House, to congress, and to the press. That these lobbyists, working with the Cuban dictator, President Machado, now admit that they carried on a program "to stir up hostility to the United States in Latin-American countries,” is about the last straw. Nevertheless all the mud in which the lobbyists and their employers have wallowed can not obscure the fact that an increase in the sugar tariff is contrary to the public interest. That two warring capitalist groups—American capital in Cuban sugar versus American capital in beet sugar—arc fighting over the issue is beside the point. If a tariff increase is prevented, as we hope and expect, it will not be because of the low tariff sugar lobby, but in spite of it. Perhaps It is not too much to expect also that this senate investigation will convince big business men who paid high salaries to lobbyists to influence the President, the senate and the press that they were suckers. The Case of Ella May Wiggins The state of North Carolina is making a second effort to bring to justice the slayers of Mrs. Ella May Wiggins, textile worker and mother of nine children, who was shot to death at Gastonia in September. A Gaston county grand jury has been asked to indict sixteen men for the crime. The previous grand jury refused indictments. The same evidence is to be used, and this time, says the prosecutor, he is confident of getting true bills. The country at large, and organized labor in particular, will watch outcome of the proceedings with keenest interest. So far every striker who has been put on trial in North Carolina in connection with labor disturbances there in recent months has been convicted. Peace officers and mill agents without exception have been acquitted, or have not been tried. This has led to the accusation that the machinery of justice has operated against the workers and for the protection of the mill owners. It is noteworthy that the prosecutor in the present case is the same man who obtained the conviction of six so-called Communist labor organizers in the Aderholt murder trial. If he displays the same zeal in the present instance, there may be convictions. Well, well, income taxes are getting low r er and lower. It’s going to be a tough blow, however, for some of those charities usually listed on the regular March returns. Once there was a man who came east in winter from California and suddenly was stricken dumb. He did the only thing left for him to do, of course—he killed himself. Most people who hide their lights under a bushel these days stand around ballyhocing the bushel and charging for guesses as to what’s under it. A life insurance statistician finds that scholars live longer than athletes. Maybe some of those athletes really do die for dear old Rutgers. A dramatic criticism of anew play on Broadway bears the caption, “Decent Play About Clean People Wins.” It’s a great day for curiosities.

JOY is unconfined in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Krock of Evansville, for the telegraph throbs with the glad tidings that Helen Marie Krock, six weeks old, has a lower front tooth. Had little Helen Marie taken down the family Stradivarius and rendered “Souvenir,” that wouldn’t have been ih It with her precious yield of ivory. * a * Ever since the dawn of parental ectasy, an early tooth, for some reason, has been an occasion for Binging and feasting and you will recall, of course, how once imon a time you floated airily dow’ntown and bade the world pause in its orbit while you unwrapped tissue layers and displayed little Ephriam’s milk w'hite pearl, no larger than a grain of rice. e tt a Like all well-regulated households, we have always paid a fixed price for such nuggets and every rime we have heard a child tailing downstairs in a gale of eagerness we have known that he was bringing anew grinder to market, not infrequently with the string attached. • a a WE have always paid 10 cents apiece and we’Ve strongly suspected that this was where Rockefeller got his idea of giving dimes to the youth of our fair land. tt it a Like every other business, that of the tooth merchant is beset by hazards, for instance one must guard his merchandise, lest it succumb to the ravages of time. How many of us have opened our wallets on anniversaries only to find the gems reduced to fragments and in this connection w'e would say that such keepsakes should be preserved in a solution and carried in bottles, the bottles being carefully labeled, otherwise one would be at utter loss to know' which tooth belonged to Amos, which to Obediah. which to Cinderella and which to Petunia. tt a When again the value of teeth passes quickly, a degree of growth rendering them practically valueless, one must guard his investment w'ith extreme care, lest he become loaded up with worthless merchandise and financial stringency find him burdened with lethargic assets. m a ONLY last week we had a very narrow escape from an investment which would have been a total loss, when one of the children, suffering from financial lumbago. sought to patm off on us for a first year Droduct a tusk which might well have passed for a dinosaur specimen dug up by Explorer Andrews in the Gobi desert. n m • But with all its pitfalls the tooth business Is one of the grandest one can enter, particularly if one’s veins be filled with red blood, rather than ice water, for as the years go whirling past and the kids grow to be six feet high and two ax handles across the back, one gets a great thrill out of sitting down by the fireplace and bringing out the first teeth of the whole tribe. ■ a And so we extend our felicitations to the Krocks. to Cornelius Krock and to Mrs. Cornelius Krock, to little Helen Marie Krock and to any other little Krocks who may be roaming about the premises.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

M. E. Tracy SAYS:

Russia Wants the London Naval Parley to Fail, Because That Would Mean Trouble for the Capitalistic World. ADMIRERS of Jack Dempsey are satisfied that Gene Tunney’s kidney trouble was caused by the terrific pummeling he received at the former’s hands. Wets can see nothing good in President Hoover’s message, or the Wickersham report, while drys can see nothing bad. Soviet Rusisa not only predicts : failure for the London conference, | but war between England and the United States in the near future. The same old story. You usually ; can depend on prejudice to make j the wish father to the thought when it comes to prophecy or explanation. tt tt tt Russia wants the London conferj ence to fail, because that would I make trouble for the capitalistic i world. For precisely the same reason, j Russia wants to see England and j the United States at war. As long as these two great nations : remain at peace, Russia realizes that world revolution is impossible. Without world revolution, Russia is not so sure of the success of communism ) within her own frontiers, a a a ; Others Hope for Failure IT is not in Russia alone that wishes breed hope of failure for j the London conference. There are jingoes in every land who share it, and there are gunmakers, shipbuilders and others with financial interest at stake. But more numerous than all else, there are the slaves of hatred and j fear—the multitude who can’t look at the horizon without imagining j enemies beyond, or think of foreign- ; ers without getting mad. tt a The naval conference Is beset with : difficulties. i There is the cruiser problem be- } tween England and ourselves, the ! Mediterranean problem between France and Italy, and the Pacific problem between Japan and all the rest. There is the question of whether to bring up "freedom of the seas,’’ and of what to do if it is brought up. There is President Hoover’s suggestion for immunity of food ship*. There is doubt as to whether naval limitation can mean very much, unless it is accompanied by reduction in other branches of the military establishment. tt n a Delegates Only Humans BUT when all is said and done, the greatest difficulty confront- : ing the conference is the attitude of I those people w'ho want it to fail for ! one reason or another, and who are | predicting that it will fail. ; The delegates are only human, \ you know, with their ears to the | ground, as yours and mine would be j under similar circumstances, and i with thoughts of the glory, or the | blame, that they may get out of the I job playing an important part. It is only natural that the crowd | making the most noise wall get the ! most consideration. For this reason, if for no other, j those w'ho want the conference to 1 succeed should get busy. tt it tt It goes without saying that a j majority of people in all affected j countries hope for reduction. Whether they believe that reduc--1 tion would lessen the likelihood of | war. they know that it would lessen i taxes. But these peoole are too busy for the most part to make themselves heard. Generally speaking, they are Just average folks, with no great interest at stake, but they would be at the front in case of conflict and ! they feel the burden heaviest when it comes to producing revenue. a The Humble Suffer IT is to be hoped that the delegates at London will find it possible to ; keep these folks in mind, that the talk of gun caliber, cruise tonnage, and sphere of natural influence will not be loud enough to obscure the sentiments and hopes of that vast inarticulate multitude w'hich furnishes the blood in case of war, and to which a dime often means more than a million dollars to some of the big boys. That multitude has fought many battles without getting anything in return, and has paid for many battleships, only to see them sunk. Its sons usually are buck privates, and Its daughters usually come out widow’s when the drums roll. It does not lack for patriotism, but it does lack faith in the idea that an overdose of w r ar machinery guarantees peace.

‘White Collar ’ Men Often Unhealthy

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN. Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of nyxela, the Health Magazine. THE clerical worker is not submitted to the hazards that affect the worker in mines, or in many of the big manufacturing industries. He does not have to worry about inhaling poisonous gases, dangerous dusts or the deadly monotony of repeating the same operation hundreds of times. The chief factors that concern him from the point of view of health include ventilation, long standing, hard floors, difficulties of too rapid eating and contact with innumerable strangers. To get some idea of the exact state of health of clerical workers Dr. Carey P. McCord examined the workers in fifteen Cincinnati establishments, including banks, railroad offices, insurance companies cn'i similar organizations. Os 1.000 male clerical workers

The situation arises only now and then, and I like compliments in retrospect, but, at the moment, it makes me feel uncomfortable. I think most people, under the same stimulus, are like that. It isn’t modesty. Not with me, anyhow. The trouble is a lack of any acceptable formula. Possibly some book of etiquet has worked the matter out, but I’ve missed that chapter. Naturally, the point is not limited to column conductors W'ho have happened to hit one day right.

FIRST U. S. LOCOMOTIVE —January 15— ON Jan. 15, 1831, the first locomotive built in America, the ! “Best Friend,” appeared on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. The locomotive was built at the 1 West Point foundry at New York City and was designed by Adam Hail. The "Best Friend” had a vertical tubular boiler carried at one end of a horizontal platform or frame, while the cylinders were carried at the other end, and the four wheels occupied the space be- '■ tween the boiler and the cylinders. The West Point foundry built a second locomotive, the “De Witt Clinton,” in 1831. which was put at work on the Mohawk & Hudson raUroad. now a part of the New York Central <fc Hudson River railroad. This second engine was very sim- : ilar in design to the first, but possessed a number of improvements.

examined, 781 were found to have physical defects that might eventuate into serious handicaps. Only 213 workers had minor physical defects and exactly six were classified as essentially free from physical abnormalities. As had been found in most series of examinations made nowadays the diseases of the heart and blood vessels were most frequent among those examined. More than a third of all those examined were found to have such defects, and whereas only 36.1 per cent of all those examined showed these defects, 49.1 per cent of those twenty pounds overweight were thus disturbed. Overweight has been found by all insurance examiners to be a possible contributing cause to early death of those past middle age. Os particular interest in this study was the fact that 58.2 per cent of those examined had defects of vision. Indeed, 28,1 per cent of those with defects had made no attempt

I grossly inept. I’ve heard heroes I say, "Oh, that was nothing.” And if I were the Greek who came bearing gifts, only to meet such a reception, I would reply, "You’re quite right, it was nothing much, but this is substantial.” And ! then I’d punch him right in the nose. Curiously enough, humility of this sort, upon the part of a person praised often is applauded by the public. This attitude is taken for modesty. I hold that, on the contrary, it is insufferable arrogance. Suppose I go up to some novelist and pour out my heart to him by saying, “I think ‘Gale in a Garden’ ;is the finest thing anybody has I written in the last fifty years.” If j he replies, "Oh, that was nothing,” 1 he has committed two offenses. First of all, his answer is cruelly rude to the disciple who just has expressed enthusiasm. In effect, i the author is saying, “Your taste is rotten.” And beyond that the writer who pooh-poohs his own masterpiece seems to suggest that he has reserves of genius as yet untapped, and that his current fine flight is just a little hop, compared to what

This was believed to be due to the fact that the glasses had not been changed and that a considerable number of those -with defective vision had been fitted with glasses by unqualified people. Defective hearing also was common in clerical workers over 30 years of age. It is safe to say that the conditions found in Cincinnati are duplicated in other large cities over the country.

he could do if he only put his back and shoulders into it. And that’s what I call arrogance. Untruthful THERE is still another charge to be brought against the man who parries a compliment and slaps it down. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred he’s a liar. Women very frequently are offenders in the matter of mock modesty. Checking back on a long life, I imagine it is possible that I have said to thirty different people, “You’re more beautiful than anybody I ever saw.” Twice I meant it. Twenty-nine out of the thirty people pleaded not guilty. Now, I’ll grant you that some measure of denial might well have been entirely honest. "I think that’s excessive,” would have been a legitimate answer. But that was not the line they took. “I don’t think I’m ever pretty,” was the approximate answer of the twenty-nine. This was not truthful. The thirtieth was different. She met, “You’re more beautiful than anybody I ever saw,” by replying, "I imagine I am; what of it?” An excellent answer. I seldom have gone through the experience of being praised for something which I honestly disliked on my own account. The many things which I have done, which seemed to me not so good, were accepted readily by everybody else as terrible. tt tt B Devastating A DIRECT compliment splits the average personality wide open You do like to hear what the kind gentleman is saying, and yet you wish he would stop. That’s why letters are such a precious boon. There is still another form of compliment which I imagine is the most heartening of all. Only actors and others who perform in person and public receive it. I refer to applause. This has the advantage of being both impersonal and immediate. I never have heard of an actor being moved to come before the curtain, in response to popular clamor, and then saying, "My performance really was not so much.” In fact, he doesn’t have to say anything. He just can nod his head. (Copyrisht. 1530. by The Times'

SCIENCE By DAVID DIETZ

Every Scientific Advance Finds Ten Times as Many Corrective as Destructive Uses. TWO of the chief fears of laymen with regard to science—namely that some scientist seeking the release of atomic energy will blow up the whole world and that science will lead to such terrible engines of war that mankind will destroy Itself —are groundless, according to Dr. Robert A. Millikan. Dr. Millikan, famous American physicist, who was tho first to isolate and measure the electric charge of the electron and the first to verify the existence of the cosmic rays, set forth his views in his presidential address at the recent convention in Des Moines of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The address Is to be printed in full in Scribner’s Magazine. Dr. Millikan's address came at \ welcome moment. Tire world is just beginning to awaken to the tremendous advances of science. And it Is only natural that some people should be startled and even a bit panicky. Tire drama has taken to portraying the alleged terrors of the future. "Wings Over Europe" portrayed the day when a scientist should have discovered the secret of subatomic energy, carrying with it the power to blow up the earth. “R, U. R.” and the German movie “Metropolis” portrayed a world in which the machine, child of science, had conquered man and made b slave of him. tt tt a War REGARDING the future release of subatomic energy. Dr. Millikan expressed the opinion that it. simply wasn’t there to be released. He said: "Now the new evidence born of new scientific studies is to the effect that it is highly improbable that there is any appreciable amount of available subatomic energy for man to tap anyhow. In other words men, like the bishop of Ripon, who are living in fear lest some bad boy among the scientists may some day touch off the fuse and blow this comfortable earth of ours to stardust, may go home and sleep in peace with the consciousness that the Creator has put some foolproof elements into his handiwork and that man is powerless to do it any titanic physical damage, anyway.” With regard to the charge that science has multiplied the weapons of destruction, Dr. Millikan says: "Primitive man's chief tools probably were arrowheads and tomahawks and his chief industry making and using them. "When the age of bronze replaced the age of stone, a multitude of new peaceful arts was born. These turned men's minds and energies and interests away from war and toward peace. And this has been the consequence of practically every advance in science and its application since that time. “Every scientific advance finds ten times as many new. peaceful and constructive uses as it finds destructive ones. u o a Machines DR. MILLIKAN believes that the advance of science will result in the eventual elimination of war. "In my judgment, war now is in process of being abolished, chiefly by this relentless advance of science, its most powerful enemy. "It has existed in spite of religion, in spite of philosophy, in spite of social ethics, and in spite of the golden rule, since the days of the caveman, because, in accordance with the evolutionary philosophy of modern science, and simply because, it has had survival value. "It will disappear like the dinosaur when, and only when, the conditions which have given it survival value have disappeared. Those conditions are disappearing now primarily because of changes in the world situation being brought about by the growth of modern science.” And regarding the question of the machine age. Dr. Millikan said: “As I read history, the machine age actually has freed, educated and inspired mankind, not enslaved it. Routine labor plays a part in all our lives and an attractive part too, if it is not overdone and if there is leisure for something else. "Even the few routine men who feed the machines in Mr. Ford’s factory are less routinized and have shorter hours by far than the dumb agricultural drudge who hoed potatoes for twelve hours a day through all the history of the world before the machine age appeared."
