The Prison Situation The state farm, as well as the penitentiaries, is overcrowded. Its prisoners, too, are idle. This situation is far different from the dream of those who believed that with the coming of prohibition, the crime problem would be solved, all prisons empty, poverty abolished and asylums become mere rest cures. The condition of business in the free world has been reflected in the prisons. Very many men are idle. That is bad, very bad. A workless man at liberty is in a bad situation, bad for himself and bad for society. A workless man in a prison is still worse for society and much worse for himself. He has too much time to think and ponder and grow bitter. This state, as weli as others, has done little constructive thinking as to its crime problem. The only answer it has given is the old prison system which herds men together under guards. It does little to cure the defect in the mental and physical equipment of the offender ano less to curb the causes of crime. If prisons are to reform and send back to society those who have broken its laws, little can be done unless training in some useful vocation is given The prisoner should be sent out at the end of his term of punishment equipped to make a living. He should not be driven to the border line of insanity by idleness while restrained of his liberty. The disclosure of the overcrowded condition of the insane wards at Michigan City came when one prisoner killed another. The man who killed had been released very recently from the insane ward. The reason for his release, so it was stated, was that the insane ward was filled with others in worse mental condition. There may be a very definite relationship between the overcrowding of the insane ward and the lack of w ork. If there is one condition that should be corrected immediately it is in this direction. The state is building very many roads. The program for the future calls for thousands of miles of improvement. It might not only be cheaper but more humane to use idle men in prisons for this purpose than to bur.den society with the permanent care of men fcrazed by idleness.

A Plaything of the Court “We are under a Constitution, but the Constitution is what the judges say it is . . Charles Evans Hughes. Our Constitution worshipers eulogize both the Constitution and the supreme court in one mouthful. They venerate a supposedly inflexible Constitution. They hold that the supreme court is the faithful watchdog of this Constitution, protecting it from the slightest change or modification. Yet no other public body so thoroughly manhandles the Constitution as does the supreme court. It is hardly an exaggeration to state that the Constitution is veritably a plaything of the court. The court decides what the Constitution is and means. With changes In the complexion of the court come widely different interpretations of what the Constitution actually says and commands. John Marshall did more to establish the nature of the Constitution than the first five of our Presidents combined. He made it a document supporting nationalism as . gainst states rights. In the cases of Marbury vs Madison and Fletcher vs. Peck, he asserted the right of the court to nullify federal and state laws. In the case of McCulloch vs. Maryland he laid down the doctrine of the implied powers of the federal government. The next great chief justice was Roger B. Taney. He was an ardent Democrat and state's rights man. In the famous Dred Scott decision of 1857, the court under Taney took a decidedly state's rights position and declared the Missouri compromise unconstitutional. This tendency was the reverse of Marshall s work. Sometimes the court does not wait half a century to reverse itself as to the meaning of the Constitution. Take ihe legal tender cases at the close of the Civil war. In February. 1870, the court declared the legal tender act unconstitutional by a majority of one. Two new justices were added to the court by appointment early in 1870. Ihe legal tender act again was brought up. In December, 1870, the court by a majority of one declared the law constitutional. The Constitution meant one thing on Washington's birthday and another on the birthday of Christ. An important issue was at stake following the adoption of the fourteenth amendment. Did the "due process'* clause apply to corporate persons or solely to human beings? In the Slaughter House cases in 1873 the court decided that the amendment did not apply to corporations. By 1886 Roscoe Conkling had convinced the court that it did so apply—the most momentous decision in the history of the court. This decision had a revolutionary effect on the interpretation of our system of government and on the fate of subsequent social and economic legislation. And Conkling, as a member of the joint committee on reconstruction. which framed the amendment then had voted against the validity of applying it to corporate persons! On five different occasions the court had declared an income tax constitutional. Then the matter was brought up again in 1895 in the case of Pollock vs. the Fanners Loan and Trust Company. Those who favored setting aside the income tax law paid Joseph H. Choate $200,000 to argue the case before the supreme court. The act was declared unconstitutional. These illustrations establish the contention that the Constitution is not fixed and unalterable, like the laws of the Medes and Persians. It has to be interpreted. It is Interpreted by nine lawyers sitting on the supreme court bench. They are human beings. Their interpretations reflect their economic and social convictions. Hence the importance of getting men on that bench who will be able intelligently to readapt the old-Constitution to the needs of anew civilization.

William Allen White, editor of the Emporia (Kan.) Daily Gazette (Republican), says of the tariff bill in a leading editorial just published: Strangle It The congress will do a great service to the American people if it will strangle the Smoot-Hawley tariff bill in conference. The existing tariff is better than anything that may reasonably be expected to come out of congress. No piece of legislation in years has been so pockmarked with greed as this pending tariff bill. . . . It lifts the hair and peels the hide from thousands of agricultural consumers and gives them a stone where they asked for bread. ... y It is no loyalty to President Hoover to vote for this bill. . . . The congressman who votes for the bill . . . will be disloyal to his constituency, unless they be constituents In some small special industry, who have access to the cream jug of special privileges which is drained from the American people in this bill. Particularly a Kansas congressman or senator will be justified in voting “no” on this bill. Fred Brenckman, Washington representative of the National Grange, says of it: “The rates of the bill . . . fail short of placing agriculture on a basis of equality with industry, as was promised in the last presidential campaign. . . .” The bill as it is is a bad lot. In 1890 the Harrison administration was wrecked by the passage of the McKinley tariff bill in June. It took six years to get a Republican congress back in Washington. . . . In 1910 the Payne-Aldrich bill wrecked the Republican party, and not until 1921 did a Republican President and a Republican congress come back to Washington. Can’t those Republicans vjjio are applying the party whip to western congressmen and senators read the handwriting of history on the wall? The Smoot-Hawley bill is worse than the PayneAldrich bill or the McKinley bill. . . . Strangle it. Censorship in India “The spectacle of them beating the unresisting volunteers was so painful that I frequently was forced to turn away from the crowd.” That, from a censored dispatch from Webb Miller, European news manager for the United Press, telling of an attack by Indian police on unarmed volunteers. Miller, an American correspondent sent to India to describe from a purely neutral point of view what is going on in that turbulent section of the world, was an eyewitness to the police assault on the “nonresidents” who were swarming about the Dharasana salt works. But all of what he saw did not get through the censors. Only a part. So the imagination of the reader does the rest. Censorship always has that effect. The reader fills between the lines. And his imaginative picture is not unlikely to be more revolting than what really happened. Censorship, wherever it appears, contains within itself the germ of its own impotency.

The University of Crime If you happen to be one of those citizens to whom expensive, up-to-date and humane prisons are simply a waste of money, you might consider the remarks made recently by a bomber on whom the Chicago police managed to lay their hands. This man told the pol’ce how he learned his "trade.’’ He learned it, it appears, at the state’s expense—learned it while he was doing time in the notorious Ohio penitentiary for carrying concealed weapons. “In prison,’’ he says, “I met a bunch of safe blowers. They told me all about cooking dynamite to get the nitro out of it. I thought it would be great to be a safe blower and I also heard there were plenty of chances for bombers in Chicago.” And there you are. Because Ohio’s prison was too antiquated and inadequate tr> segregate its prisoners and keep them busy, but left them to loaf day after day in the "idle house,” it became a sort of university of crime. This Chicago bomber was simply one of its graduates.

IT'S a shune our national heroes have to get into politics. While Ambassador Morrow confined his activities to ironing out the wrinkles in our relations with Mexico, everybody in the United States was for him, but since he became a candidate for the senate from New Jersey and made his wet speech, all but the wets are of! of him. a a a • Former senator A. O. Stanley of Kentucky has been appointed a member of the international joint commission at SIO,COO per annum, which is cold turkey for a lame duck. a a a Frances Starr, the actress, got a divorce from her New York husband because she had to keep him, all of which proves that it is unnecessary for an American girl to marry a European nobleman. a a a NEW YORK CITY gained 880,284 since 1920, while West Branch lowa, lost 300 in the same period, hence A1 Smith is high hatting Mr. Hoover. a a a Representative Garner’s plan to divide Texas into five states, as permitted in the act, admitting Texa3 into the Union, might please gentlemen, ambitious to go to the senate, but the pride of the Lone Star State will knock the idea into a cocked hat. a a a However, should Texas decide to do it, you probably would find California asking the congress to let her divide into two states in response to the bitter rivalry between the northern and southern sections. a a a ANOTHER sample of ou. beautiful system of criminal proceduie—the Rev.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SCIENCE —BY DAVID DIETZ

End of May to Bring End of Jupiter's Parade in Western Skies. JUPITER, big brother of the solar system, appears a little lower in the western sky each night after sunset tills month. Two bright starlike objects can be seen in the western sky as the twilight deepens. One is Jupiter. The other, which is the brighter of the two, is Venus. Earlier in the month Venus was lower in the sky than Jupiter. But Venus ha been moving eastward with rapidity. It caught up to Jupiter on May 17, when the two glowed within a little over a degree of each other like a beautiful celestial twin-lamp. Since then Venus has continued its eastward race, drawing away from Jupiter. Each night Jupiter will appear lower in the western sky after sunset. Asa consequence, it will set earlier each night. By the end of May it will no longer be possible to see Jupiter, for it will be too close to the sun and will be lost in the bright rays of the setting sun. Observers will find it interesting to note the color changes in Jupiter. While the planet is fairly high in the sky, its color is a beautiful white. But as it sinks toward the horizon, it takes on a distinctly ruddy hue. This phenomenon is exactly like the reddening of the sun as it sets. It is the result of the greater thickness of air through which the rays must pass. Air has a tendency to transmit red lights and scatter the other rays.

Distances VENUS is the brightest object in the night sky with the exception of the moon. Jupiter is the second in order of brilliancy as a rule. Mars occasionally surpasses Jupiter in brightness, but only when it is in an unusually favorable position. In reality, however, Jupiter is the largest of the planets. Its diameter is more than ten times that of the earth. It has an average diameter of 86,720 miles. It is necessary to specify an average diameter because the planet shows a very marked flattening at the poles. The equatorial diameter of the planet is 88,640 miles, while the polar diameter is only 82,880 miles. Jupiter’s average distance from the sun is 483,200,000 miles. This is more than five times the earth’s distance. (The earth Is 93,000,000 miles from the sun.) Since both the earth and Jupiter are revolving around the sun, the distances between us and Jupiter may very greatly, depending where the earth and Jupiter are in their orbits. Further variation is introduced by the flattening or eccentricity of the two orbits. When Jupiter is at its closest to the earth, the distance between the two planets is 367,000,000 miles. When they are farthest apart, the distance is almost 600,000,000 miles. Jupiter takes 11.86 years to revolve around the sun, so that one of Jupiter's “years” w’ould be almost as long as twelve of ours.

Belts BUT while 'Jupiter has a long year, it has a very short day. The huge planet spins very rapidly on its axis, making one rotation in ten hours. You would have to live a fast life on Jupiter with a five-hour day and a five-hour night. Jupiter is an interesting object.in a telescope. Even a very small teiescope will reveal four of the moons or satellites which revolve around the planet. Jupiter has nine moons, but the other five are visible only with a very powerful instrument. A small telescope will also reveal the fact that Jupiter is flattened at the poles. A large telescope reveals a wealth of interesting detail upon the surface of the planet. The colors are mostly reds and browns, with here and there an olive green. The most striking feature of the planet’s appearance is furnished by the so-called belts. These are bands or streaks parallel to the equator. From th way these belts change in appearance and width, it is assumed that they are clouds which have been drawn out into streaks by the rapid rotation of the planet on its axis. There are markings, however, which are at least semi-permanent, continuing for years with little change. The most remarkable of these was the “great red spot” which appeared upon the planet in 1878 and remained a prominent marking for many years. Within recent years, its color has faded, but its location is still marked by a bay or opening in one of the belts. It was calculated that A ,he spot was 30,000 miles long and 7,000 miles wide.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE Three Kinds of Food Aid Bone Growth

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine. MORE and more experiments are being performed in an endeavor to find out exactly what it is that controls the deposit of calcium in the body. Calcium is associated, as has been said again and again in this column, with the growth of the bones and the teeth. Already it has been well established that in addition to liberal intakes of calcium and phosphorus, bone growth is dependent on a supply of vitamin D and perhaps of other vitamins. The most recent series of studies made by Profs. H. C. Sherman and

IT SEEMS TO ME "I™"”

WITH my first and last vaudeville engagement at a close, I can at least point to one ingenious achievement of my own. It is not every theatrical performer who is able to arrange matters in such a way that his debut and his farewell tour shall run concurrenly and both within a week. But I speak neither in malice nor in anger. It is well for every individual to find out what he can do and one way of ascertaining that is to discover what you can’t do. I am reminded of an anecdote concerning a painting, an early Broun, which I gave to Edward Hope, the columnist of the HeraldTribune, several years ago. Being a kindly person, Hope found space upon the wall of his living room to hang this amateur impression of a raging sea. One night he entertained a professional painter, who kept looking at the canvas in a puzzled way. At length he asked: "Who on earth did that?” “It was painted by Heywood Broun, a newspaper friend of mine,” explained Hope. “Yes,” said the artist, “I felt sure it was painted by someone who could do something else.”

Play in Your Yard AND, so after one week of monologing at the Palace theater, I come back to columning with all the eagerness of a trolley car which has jumped the tracks and now is home again. I had only to watch my fellow performers, however, briefly, to find confirmation for the fact that I was a newspaper man. In seeing vaudeville artists like Val and Ernie Stanton, and C**,ra Barry and Orval Whiteledge, one came to the immediate impression that as far as stage talent goes you have got it or you haven’t. You can’t be learned at home in ten easy lessons. No writing man, even one trained to meet the space requirements of newspaper work, ever learns the strict rule of compression as stage folk know it. This remains the Essential difference between the professional and the amateur. Listen to some one of your friends tell a funny story after dinner and then go over the anecdote in your mind and you will find that the yam could have been cut at least in half without damage being done to anybody. Naturally, I don’t mean that the theater is quite devoid of longwinded people. This state of affairs is not wholly the fault of columnists who rush in. But material upon the variety stage is subjected constantly not to the blue pencil of a single copyreader, but to the close examination of a thousand. a a a Judges Sit in Front THE veteran must accept a realistic attitude or perish. A novelist, and to a lesser extent, a columnist, can afford to say with propriety. “I write chiefly to please myself. If I think it's good, what do I care about the opinion of others ” But that would be a nonsensical attitude for an actor. Nobody can say. "I'll just act for myself in my own library, with all the window shades drawn.” That isn’t acting; it’s merely narcism. It would be like a writer saying, “Now, I’m going to do a swell short

Buzz Around!

H. K. Stiebling indicate that any one of the three main factors may be a limiting factor in bone growth. If the calcium is high and the phosphorus low, the bone growth may be aided by the simple addition of phosphates. If the phosphorus is sufficient and the calcium low, there is no material out of which the bones may be built. Vitamin D may be the limiting factor when the mineral content of the diet is good, but vitamin D can not take the place of calcium which is needed for the bc-st bone development. One of the richest substances in calcium is milk. Milk is, on the other hand, very poor in vitamin D. Hence it is desirable to supple-

story, but I won’t put any paper in the typewriter.” Much of logic, imagination and taste may be behind some subtle gesture or intonation, but if it fails to register that intonation or gesture is wrong. Os course, a performer lias every right to try and seek out this kind of audience. If a late supper crowd on the Ziegfeld roof failed to respond in any wise to the efforts of a tra-

PUSHKIN’S BIRTH May 26. ON May 26, 1799, Alexander Pushkin, Russian poet, was born at Moskow, the son of a nobleman. Until he entered the Imperial Lyceum, at the age of 12, Pushkin wts regarded as a backward boy. But here he developed a zeal for reading and such a passion for literature that he soon attracted considerable attention by outspoken criticism and poetic gifts. A poem he wrote when 16 aroused the admiration of the’veteran poet Derzhavin. In 1817 he offended the emperor by publishing his “Ode to Liberty” in which he expressed advanced political views and sympathy with the young Liberals. Asa result, he was banished to southern Russia. He later was reinstated and transferred to his mother’s estate, where he wrote, at the behest of the emperor, a history of Peter the Great. His greatest work, Yevgeny Onegin, is a romance in verse. His drama, Boris Godounov, was used as the basis of Moussorgsky’s noted opera. Pushkin met his death in a selfappointed duel with D’Anthes, adopted son of the Dutch ambassador, whom he thought was interfering with his domestic life.

Questions and Answers

Where does the voice come from? Voice is the sound produced by the vocal organs of an animal, especially a human being. Dili A1 Jolson write “Sonny Boy," the theme song of “The Singing Fool?” He wrote the song, whistled the melody and reeited the words over the telephone from New York to Hollywood for the publishers, D Sylva Brown and Henderson, who rewrote the words. What kind of powder is used in finger printing? Where can it be purchased? Chemist’s gray powder is used. It is composed of mercury and chalk, and may be purchased at any drug store. Aluminum dust also may be used for fln'ger printing. If the finger prints are on a light surface graphite or charcoal may be used. In what latitude and longtitude is the Bay of Whales? The location is approximately 78 degrees south latitude and 162 degrees west longitude.

ment milk, which provides calcium, with vitamin D in the form of viosterol or of cod liver oil with viosterol, or of sunlight, which encourages the development of vitamin D in the body. So far as the growth of the teeth is concerned, recent evidence seems to indicate that vitamin C also is important for the prevention of tooth decay. Unfortunately, both milk and ccd liver oil are deficient in vitamin C. The richest substances in this vitamin are the citrus fruits, such as oranges, lemons and grapefruit. Hence it is highly desirable to add to the diet of the growing child a certain amount of orange juice, which takes care of this deficiency.

gedian, he would not be compellled to admit to himself “Sirrah, I am a broken reed.” It is well within an actorjs privilege to call himself a little theater and bid only for the support of selected intellectuals. a a ts Without Posterity JAMES BRANCH CABELL could say, without being fantastic, “I’ll aim my work at posterity. Even if it goes over the heads of every man and woman now alive, it may touch the heart of someone yet unborn.” Only the talking picture actor has any, concern with posterity. And he has, according to my guess, not much. The fame and the prestige of a David Garrick may linger after his death, but not his art. There’s nothing so dead as a dead actor. Not even the finest descriptive writer can make a later generation understand vividly the strut, the passion, and the tingle of the player who was and is no more. I would like to make some public testimony of the great kindness and courtesy of all my fellows on the Palace program. They did not treat me like an interloper. They pretended that I really belonged. Everybody was nice to me, but Rin-T;n-Tin, who seemed to know that I was a stray columnist. (Copyright. IS3O. by The Times)

M. E. Tracy SAYS:

Mussolini Imagines He Can Employ Jingoism to His Heart’s Content and Then Lay It Aside; If He Can, Human Nature Has Changed. THE “first sewing machine” goes to a Paris museum. It was invented by Batherlemy Thinuionier, a country tailor, 100 years ago. Hoping to become a wholesale clothing manufacturer, he had seventy machines set up in a factory, but they were destroyed by a mob and he died in poverty. Some men think too fast for their own good, while others don’t think fast enough. New York’s oldest department store, founded by John Daniell in 1858, was closed last Saturday. It persisted in pursuing mid-Victorian methods and handling mid-Victo-rian goods. The crowd just drifted away. The crowd’s attitude, or mass psychology, as highbrows call it, still is the great mystery in human progress. A vast multitude at Milan celebrates the sixteenth anniversary of Italy’s declaration of war against Germany by shouting “down with France.” It was a hypnotized chorus, of course, singing in support of Mussolini’s belligerent oratory, but little less significant on that account. a tt tt Trouble in the Making Hypnotized choruses play a major part in human affairs, especially when it comes to international hate. Given a demagog, a board of enthusiastic admirers, and an anniversary, with a chance to wave tha flag, and you have strife in the making. Mussolini says that he is not trying to stir up trouble, but merely is telling the Italian people what to look out for. Maybe that is the case. Maybe II Duce actually has deceived himself into the belief that all his grimacing and fist shaking involve no sinister results, eevn though he has worked his fol’owers into such a furore that they yell and brandish their muskets on the slightest pretext. Maybe he imagines that such demonstrations can continue without causing a reaction in France, that he can employ jingoism to hi3 heart’s content and then lay it aside. If he can, human nature has changed and history is bunk.

War Talk Galore IN this connection the amount of war talk one hears, especially in a private and gossipy way, is surprising. Our various peace movements appear to be rooted in nothing so distinctly as a soil of backstair tat He. Travelers from abroad are bubbling over with rumors and reports. By some caprice of inscrutable fate, the whole world seems to be contracting a bad case of suspicion and alarm. With few exceptions, governments are doing what they can to keep down the infection, but the obvious effort this requires tells it3 own story. One would like to believe that the naval treaty agreed upon at London, or the plan for an economic union of European states proposed by Briand, reflected the emotional complexes now prevailing more faithfully than Mussolini’s fist-shaking or the gloomy forebodings of Soviet newspapers, but it is to be feared that the latter harmonize with thoughts that are in the back of too many minds. tt a tt Fear Grips World very cry for s y stems and A. agreements to insure peace suggests deep-seated apprehension. Everywhere, the people seem to br afraid, though they do not know why. Perhaps, it is because the last! war taught them that trouble could not affect any considerable area wihiout the risk of involving the whole world. At any rate, the atmosphere appears to be charged with an element of anxiety and suspense. In spite of the fact that we have a League of Nations, a world court* a treaty outlawing war, and several regional pacts designd to guarantee security, there is a palpable feeling of doubt, even here in America. Admitting that seme of this doubt is due to justifiable lack of confidence, more of it is due to the age old habit of peddling scandal, a habit which is encouraged every time a conference sits in secret or a government resorts to censorship. As long as statesmen whisper behind the door, the crowd will. The secret of Mussolini’s popularity is his frankness. Leaders of the peace movement could profit by his example.
