A Woman Wins All citizens, not only the women, will be interested in the nomine*'on of Ruth Hanna McCormick for the United States *jnate. The people of Illinois have jumped one hurdle oi prejudice by giving her the chance to run in the genfral election in a state where a nomination Is almost equal to an election. Most significant is the fact that Mrs. McCormick did not make an appeal to women voters as a woman, but asked for votes only on the basis of fitness and principles. That is a long step forward. In the past politicians have tried to catch votes t>y naming women to some minor position under the delusion that this would '>V subtly flattering to all women. In Illinois it appears that the women and the me* have forgotten the accident of sex and are judging candidates only on their qualifications. Mrs. McCormick is unusually fitted for politics. Her father was the master mind of his times. Her husband, now dead devoted his life to public matters. She had lived in the atmosphere oi politics all her life and now sits in congress. There are women in every state whose qualifications compare favorably with those of men who hold high positions Asa matter of fact it would be no difficult matter to find two in Indiana who could profitably be rent to join Mrs. McCormick if she should win the icnato seat, with no loss of prestige to the state and with fewer occasions for apology. What Does Mitchell Mean? Attorney-General Mitchell is getting nowhere with his prohibition propaganda. If he speaks for the administration, then the public must conclude that the administration is floundering helplessly on this Important issue. Such situation is apt to Increase the split within the Republican party, which gives the G. O P leaders heebejeebies every time they think of the Novembei election. Twice within less than a week the attorney-general has found time to propagate the most extreme dryideas. First he defended the notorious Jones five-and-ten enforcement law, which even many drys would like to repeal. Then he proclaimed the success” of enforcement. In his defense of the Jones law. Mitchell supported two bills favored by the Wickersham commission. One bill, under the guise of defining slight violations of the prohibition law, gives a district attorney power to try such petty offenses under the Jones law and its extreme sentences. In the entire matter of juryiess trials and protection of citizens’ rights, the attor-ney-general was equivocal or worse. flow he has appeared before the senate committee, arguing that enforcement is improving rapidly because of alleged figures showing a larger number of prosecutions and convictions during the last half of 1929 compared with the similSr period of 1928. A larger number of prosecutions certainly does not suggest wider law observance, but, if anything, an increase in violations. And that indication, of course, is in line with general belief and observation that the law Is less respected than ever. That the department of justice is becoming moie effective in Its “enforcement ’ of an unenforceable j aw that is, enforcement in the sense of punishment rather than prevention—may or may not be a legitimate inference from the Mitchell figures. That can not be known until the figures are made public. Meanwhile, it is well known that the department of justice always has had the choice of concentrating on the big fellows in the wholesale liquor trade, or the small fry of the pint peddling class. The big fellows are alleged to have local political piotection of one kind or another. The little fellows don t. Prosecuting thousands of the little fellows may make a political show-, but ii certainly can not dry up a single acre of this wet continent. In any case we can not understand Mitchell s efforts to kill the Noms-Borah plan for senate investigation of alleged corruption in the prohibition bureau. Os course that doubtless would show that liquor corruption of politics is as bad or woise under prohibition than under the discredited saloon. But such an expose might at least improve enforcement, as sincere drys like Norris and Boiah desire. Is the attorney-general more interested In dry propaganda than in enforcement? Aluminum Trust Wins The government's third anti-trust proceedings against the Mellons’ Aluminum Company of America ended with a twenty-four-word announcement that the federal trade commission had dismissed the case. There was no formal opinion, no public estimate of the evidence. The commission's twenty-four words constitute final determination of a case which has been building up for five years. So far as the public record goes, they are the complete answer to some 6.000 pages of testimony and more than 1,000 documentary exhibits, which, the examiners argued, sustained charges that the company pursued a policy calculated to monopolize the aluminum sand castings Industry. It has been eighteen years since the government first attacked the aluminum monopoly. Through a consent decree of the United States district court at Pittsburgh, June 7, 1912, the Aluminum Company of America and all its subsidiaries were enjoined permanently from any action tending “to fix or illegally affect the price’’ of aluminum. A series of inter-company contracts apportioning the world aluminum markets was nullified by the decress. On Oct. 8. 1924. the federal trade commission found that certain practices of the company violated the 1912 decree. Summarizing the evidence in this case, Attorney-General Stone informed the commission on Jan. 30, 1925, that: “The Aluminum Company of America at present controls more than 90 per cent of all known deposits of bauxite. . . . It is in a position to, and does, control the domestic price of sheet aluminum to utensil manufacturers.” A year later. Stone having been elevated to the supreme court, the next attorney-general, John G. Sargent, informed the commission that the justice department's investigation disclosed no evidence supporting charges that monopolistic practices had been resumed. Meanwhile, the federal trade commission, on July 21, 1925, again bad cited the aluminum company for marketing practices declared to operate in restraint 0i trade. Following a five-jear inquiry,

tended to every aluminum center of America and to at least five foreign countries, final arguments on the case were set for, and concluded, on April 1. The date probably was a mere coincidence. Three days later came the decision. The full text follows: ’The federal trade commission today dismissed its complaint charging the Aluminum Company of America with violation of the Clayton and federal trade commission acts.” How did the commission arrive at this quick whitewash? The public has a right to know. The President should insist upon publication of the record of that decision, because it involves the whole question of the ability of the government to protect the public from monopoly. If the President does not act, congress should. The Dry Law Poll One of the interesting revelations of the Literary Digest prohibition poll is that quite generally the vote for repeal of the eighteenth amendment exceeds the vote for modification of the Volstead act. Repeal of the amendment is the most difficult way of getting rid of prohibition, because any thirteen states can prevent repeal, owing to the constitutional requirement that only by a vote of the legislatures of three-fourths of the states can the Constitution be changed. To modify or repeal the Volstead act, only a majority of both houses of congress is necessary; except, of course, in the event of a presidential veto. No amendment to the Constitution is self-enforcing, and without the Volstead enforcing act the prohibition amendment wouldn’t amount o anything. If the Volstead act should be repealed, enforcement of prohibition would be thrown back on the states, and each state could go as far as it likes between bone-dryness and wringing wetness. The states where the people want prohibition could have it, but couldn’t impose their will upon states that don't want it. Neither could wet states impose their will upon states that want prohibition. The federal government would be out of the picture if the Volstead act were repealed, but would be decidedly in it if the act were modified to authorize congress to forbid or regulate transportation between states: for then Uncle Sam could step in and protect dry- states from shipments of liquor from adjoining wet states. Probably the crux of the problem would be the saloon. Many who went along with the Anti-Saloon League in its efforts to put the saloon out of business were not in favor of prohibition. Doubtless many who voted in the Digest poll for modification or repeal would have voted against a return of the saloon if that had been the issue; and in making their issue against prohibition the wets will be wise to make provision for eliminating the saloon and keeping it eliminated. With that evil out of the picture, the sentiment against bone-dry or absolute prohibition doubtless will continue to grow, along with a determination to force the federal government to stick to its bill of rights. One thing seem certain, and that is that no pussyfooting by politicians will prevent prohibition being the livest issue in politics until the problem is solved in the interest of temperance. Unfortunately, members of both houses of congress this year will be elected largely on that issue, and their fitness in other directions will be subordinated to whether they are dependably wet or dependably dry. If the larger vote for repeal of the eighteenth amendment m*ns anything, it must be a growing sentiment that the federal government went too far when it put a police regulation in the federal Constitution. and one that is swamping the guarantees of liberty in the bill of rights. Cal Coolidge's new estate is named “The Beeches.’’ A more fitting name would be “The Silent Oaks.” Tobacco leaf, a chemist reports, produces salad oil. Just the thing for smoked herring. Talking about taking a licking, we read that 18,000,000 postage stamps were used in the United States last year.

REASON

BEFORE it adjourns, congress should provide for suspension of immigration during industrial depression, since it is economic folly to glad hand multitudes of European job hunters when our own people are out of work. n u European nations do not have our immigration problem, but if they did, they would handle it solely with reference to their own welfare, not with reference to the desires of those who wish to enter their gates. nun \ The other day, England told a Negro jazz band to beat it back to the U. S. A. because English jazz artists were out of work and MV. Bull, with his customary habit of looking out for his own, decided that English saxophones should do whatever blowing there was to be done. nun WHAT a howl would ascend from Europe if we should cart back across the Atlantic all the unnaturalized aliens who came here to find work! While we may not want to follow England's example and do this, we should keep any more from coming in until the slack is taken up. nun Such action would be appropriate just now’ when anew tariff law is being framed to protect the farmers and the working men, for it is stupidity to keep out goods made by cheap labor, yet admit the cheap labor under conditions which will keep it cheap. a a a WHILE our congressmen are at it, they should also cast an eye toward the Rio Grande, across which Mexicans stream without any restrictions whatever, to take the places of Italians on railroad work and the places of Negroes in cotton fields, forcing the Negroes into northern cities. a a a As raw material for citizenship, these Mexicans are inferior to most Europeans, and when our own people are looking for work, when ex-service men are walking the streets, asking for employment, it is disloyal to let these Mexicans continue to pour in without any restrictions whatever. a a a We must plan to restrict immigration drastically, to meet the inroads which improved machinery continually makes on the demand for labor, and we might as well start now. After all, we are supposed to be a nation, you know —an ash can,

M. E. Tracy SAYS:

We Can Not Select Judges for the Supreme Court Because of Their Political Attitude and Keep the Court Out of Politics. IF the supreme court is going to make our laws, we naturally want judges whose viewpoint coincides with our own opinion. But, if judges are selected on that basis, the supreme court will continue to make our law§. It is obviously impossible to select judges for the supreme court because of their political attitude and keep thee supreme court out of politics. We either must fish or cut bait in this matter. If It is our desire to see the supreme court become a super legislature, we are absolutely right in demanding judges who will uphold the creed we prefer. If, on the contrary, we rather would see its wings clipped, we must give less consideration to political view’s and more to professional qualifications. man Consider the Effect THE idea seems to be gaining ground that we can save ourselves a lot of trouble by changing judges instead of changing the law. Such idea implies one of two things. Either the law is to ambiguous that nobody can tell what it means, or we do not care, as long as we can get a judge who will make is mean what we want. There is nothing wrong, or impractical in such attitude, but it implies a basic alteration in the form of our government. Theoretically, at least, we have proceeded on the assumption that the legislature and judiciary were separate and distinct. Since the beginning, we have proclaimed this is “a government of laws, not men." We can change our minds, of course, but ought we to do so without counting the consequences? nun Old Order Changes WHEN this republic was established, it seems to have been taken for granted that congress would make the laws, while the judicial department, the supreme court included, merely would interpret them. There is small evidence that any of the founders supposed that the power to interpret would be carried so far as to involve modification, or nullification. Asa matter of natural development, it became necessary for the supreme court to decide whether certain laws were in keeping with the Constitution. This imposed the duty of deciding what the Constitution meant, and before we knew it, the supreme court was issuing ex-cathedra decrees. non Dangers Are Found MANY of our leaders have found fault with this practice, j have pointed opt its dangers, and i have declared that the power thus' acquired gradually by the supreme court should be limited, if not taken away. At the same time, a disposition has developed to endorse, or oppose, candidates for the supreme court, because of the way in which they were expected to make use of that power, as though it had become established irrevocably. Now it goes without saying that we can not attain both ends, and the time has come for us to make a choice. n n Too Much Leeway THE policy of permitting courts too much leeway in the interpretation of law is doubly pernicious. In the first place, it tends to make them catspaws of the crowd, and in the second, it affords an alibi for the legislators which they are only too glad to accept. The idea that courts can be de-j pended on to protect us from our folly by twisting and interpretting law’s to suit themselves goes far toward explaining not only why so many obsolete and unenforced statutes remain on the books, but why we continue to enact so many foolish ones. The present state of deceit, corruption, and hypocrisy which gives the eighteenth amendment and Volstead act a lease on life would shock us into action, w r ere it not for the feeling that the courts can be relied on not to make the law, or its violation too tough for local prejudice.

STEINMETZ’ BIRTH April 9 ON April 9, 1865, Charles Proteus Steinmetz, American electrical wizard, and called one of the greatest scientific minds the world ever has known, was bom at Breslau, Germany. Congenitally deformed, Steinmetz devoted to study the time he might have spent at play. At the universities of Breslau and Berlin, where he made brilliant records, he got himself into difficulty because of his pronounced Socialistic views. He fled to this country to escape governmental prosecution. Arriving in New York penniless, Steinmetz goc a job in a Yonkers factory for $2 a day. He quickly attracted attention through his inventions for electric motors and generators and by his writings. Eventually, he became chief consulting engineer fgr the General Electric Company. Some Jf his most important contributions were: The mercury lamp; the first plan for the transmission of light and power great distances; a formula for producing energy as a by-product of heat; process by which smoke could be eliminated, and perfection of a theory proving that microbes could be cultivated to Broylds Jood lor the wifid,

Green Vegetables Best Source of iron

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal ot the American Mcdieal Association and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine. IN a consideration of the values of various food substances in the human diet, Lydia J. Roberts of the University of Chicago has summarized analyses made by investigators in various aboratories. Green vegetables, she reports, are par exfeellence the best source of iron in the diet, and there is a direct relationship between iron content and chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is the green coloring matter of the plant. Parsley is higher than spinach, and cabbage is relatively low. Leaf lettuce contains more iron than does head lettuce.

IT SEEMS TO ME ,

ALTHOUGH no veteran of the| air. I've been allowed to wheeze down the microphone a few times, and when Sherman of the Give a Job Campaign Committee dated me for twenty broadcasts in ten days, I began to fee! that I had left my apprenticeship behind. But I’m afraid it isn’t going to work out quite that way. The kind woman at WOR on Thursday night greeted me as I came l’eeling and dripping cut of the studio with an encouraging. “Why, that wasn’t bad at all for your first time on the air.” Something must have been amiss with me or the mike, because later in the evening I ran into Swope, one of my ex-employers, who had heard the program, and he complained, “I couldn’t understand a word you said. You sounded as if you had something in your mouth.” “Maybe it was a job,” suggested Mrs. S., who up to now had taken no part in the conversations. “Perhaps,” I retorted, with acid dignity, “it was the milk of human kindness, that could make it unintelligible to you.” But, as a matter of fact, I didn’t say it. The idea didn’t come to me until I was leaving the house, several hours later. It was one of those afterthoughts for a snappy comeback which Charles Hanson Towne has identified as “repartee.” a a a Short Line Casey THIS is a story of Short Line Casey. It hasn't much plot. Casey is a seasonal worker. Each spring he ships out with a construction gang and works for one of the eastern railroads.

Editor Times—The recent improvement of English avenue has made it the favorite drive for all east side residents as well as the direct line for interstate traffic. We have gas, water, electric lights; sewers are in. Now we must have concrete walks and a row of boulevard lights from Brookville road to Southeastern avenue to make it attractive. Our new school board has shown excellent judgment in joining the park board to obtain a site in Christian park for the new school No. 28. abandoning the two temporary buildings, and placing it where all the children can use the park as a playground. The site is in full view of the new Irvington high school, to be erected this fall. With these finishing touches we all will feel like we have progressed on English avenue. S. J.

Just Kidding Ourselves!

Just as it has been found that the soil of various portions of the United States varies in iodine content, and that, therefore, vegetables grown in such soil vary in their amounts of this substance, so also has it been found that the soil determines the iron content of the food growing on it. There are great variations in the same food substance when obtained from difforen regions. The iron content is associated with the pulp of the fruit and not with the juice. Orange juice and tomato juice contain only a small part of the iron in the orange or fruit. Salt water fish Is found to contain more iron than fresh water fish, and the dark meat of fish and poul-

MEDITATION The opening sentence of David Copperfield runs: “Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that office shall belong to anybody else, these pages must show.” The story leaves the impression that David furnished the deciding factor in the making of his own life. But he had much help in the shaping of his career. There were his aunt, Peggotty, Mr. Peggotty, Mr. Wickford, Agnes and the rest. There is no such thing as a self-made man. We are continually making each other. Other people have helped to make us. Their lives have entered into our lives. Because they lived we live also. No man can keep his life to himself. This was why Jesus said—“ For their sakes I sanctify myself.” PRAYER vfe bless thee that we are set amid this rich brotherhood of interrelated life with its mysterious power to quicken and uplift..

try has more iron than light meat. In a recent survey with modern methods of the amount of iron in bananas and apricots, these are found to be three or four times higher than the figures quoted in tables perfected some years ago. Whereas milk is for many purposes an excellent food, it is not particularly a good source of iron or of copper. Studies were made of the copper content of milk from cows, sheep and goats, and also of concentrated cow’s’ milk. The milk of cows and sheep contained more copper than did that of goats, but none of these is a significant source of copper. These determinations are of importance in selecting suitable diets for human beings.

SCIENCE BY DAVID DIETZ

Aerial Exploration of Antarctic Goes Back to 1902, With Captain Scott as Pioneer. AERIAL exploration in the Antarctic is older than most people would suppose. It really goes back to 1902, for in that year Robert Fi. Icon Scott made a balloon ascension on the coast of Antarctica. the first une ever made south of the Antarctic Circle. The ascension was made during Scott's first expedition into the Antarctic aboard the famous Discovery. This expedition marked the beginning of the exploration ot the interior of Antarctica. Until then nothing was known about it. No one knew whether Antarctica was a continent or a series of islands locked into a frozen sea. Besides Scott, other famous names which stand out in south polar exploration at the beginning of the present century include Nordenskjold, Drygalski, Bruce, Charcot and Shackleton. As can be told at once from these names, Antarctic exploration has been an international venture, the explorers of many m tions contributing to its progress. Scott w’as born at Devonport, Eng* land. June 6, 1868. He entered the British navy in 1880.. On Christmas eve. 1901, he set sail from New Zealand in the Discovery, a ship of 485 tons, built specially for the polar journey. On Jan. 8. 1902 the Discovery reached the Ross ice barrier. Scott sailed eastward, seeking a suitable place for winter quarters. n a o South AS he sailed eastward. Scott discovered and named King Edw’ard VII Land. In February he brought the Discovery to the southwest corner of Ross island and de-. cided to spend the winter at Cape Armitage. It was en route to this point that Scott made his balloon ascension. Early in November, Scott determined to make a dash for the south pole. He was accompanied by Lieutenant Shackleton, who later was to lead his own expeditions into the south, and by Dr. E. A. Wilson. By Dec. 30, they had reached latitude 80 degrees 30 minutes. Here they found their way barred by a great chasm almost a mile wide. They pushed on along the edge or the chasm hoping to go around it.' Shackleton began to develop symptoms of scurvy. Many of the dogs became sick and some died. Nevertheless, they pushed on to latitude 82 degrees 16 minutes. The return journey proved exceedingly difficult. The remaining dogs became useless and finally had to be killed. Shackleton’s scurvy became worse. For a time he was unable to walk and had to be dragged on a sled by his two companions. In January, 1903, a relief ship reached the expedition and Shackleton was sent home. It was impossible, however, to free the Discovery from the ice and Scott, decided to s*pend a second winter at the same place. - a a it Hardships WITH the return of the sun, Scott again undertook journeys by sled. In October, Scott started on a great journey during whfth, without dogs, he proceeded inland more than 250 miles over a , great plateau which averaged 8,000 feet in height. The journey was one of almost incredible hardships. They were beset by terrific gales, during w’hich many valuable articles, including Scott's mathematical tables, were lost. At one time a terrific blizzard made it impossible for them to move for an entire week. By this time many of the party were In poor shape. Scott sent them back to the ship, proceeding with two companions, Evans, a seaman, and Lashley, au engineer. They pushed on over great icy ( slopes marked with great ridges of snow. They reached latitude 78 degrees during the journey. On their return they ran out of food and oil. Once they fell down an icy slope 300 feet long. Later Scott and Evans fell into a crevice in the ice. They finally reached the ship on Christmas eve. The following January two relief ships again reached the Discovery, The British admiralty had sent orders that Scott was to abandon the * Discovery, if necessary, and return home on the other ships. But on Feb. 16 the ice broke up and Scott had the satisfaction of sailing home in his own ship.
