All Dodged When Attorney-General Ogden threw his brick at Lafayette without naming that city, every other city ot importance in the state dodged. That is more significant than whether this one city decides to reform and its officers embark upon a period of enforcement of laws. When citizens of other communities believed at first reading that their own cities were just as lawless and officials just as blind to offenses against prohibition and gambling laws, it indicates something more fundamental than mere laxity or. the part of a few officials. The same conditions did not prevail under local option and state liquor regulation. They came with the eighteenth amendment. If the charges of Ogden in regard to Lafayette be true, the officials who have been lax belong to both parties. If that laxity is as great as charged, then the prominent citizens of that community must have known about it. It is not on record that they protested, either to Ogden or to local officials. That means that there is little demand for enforcement. Had there been widespread robberies, arsons or other crimes, the citizens would have organized themselves into posses and run down the criminals. The same citizens w T ho would have taken a gun to enforce other laws have probably made the bootlegger rich with their patronage. The vicious part of the situation is that citizens have no respect for any law and that officials understand the attitude of the public and get busy only when someone calls attention to their lapses.

The Voice of the Flame When sober scientists undertake to put on a show, they usually can stage something that makes ordinary vaudeville wonders look simple. A group of the General Electric Company's engineers the other day set up a radio device to make light waves audible, just for the edification of the convention of the American Society of Civil Engineers. First one of the engineers held a lighted match in front of a photo-electric cell. A dull rumbling, like thunder, came from an attached loud speaker. Then a Neon lamp was passed before the cell. A steady hum proceeded from the loud speaker. Following this an ordinary incandescent bulb was put in front of the "mouthpiece," and a roar that almost shook the building was forthcoming. There were other tricks of a similar order. A specially made German lamp produced a noise like the siren of a fire engine. A Swiss lamp made a noise like a hoot owl. A battery lamp gave out sounds like the thumping of a bass drum. And so on, through marvel after marvel. Now all of this, on the surface, may not look like much; but it is just a reminder of the fact that scientists have uncovered a whole universe of‘profound mysteries, lying hidden all about us. Listening to the queer noises made by light waves is a miraculous act, when you stop to think about it. The medieval alchemist hunting for the elixir of life was never on the trail of anything half so thrilling. Tennyson, observing a common flower blooming in a chink in a stone wall, remarked that if he could but fully understand that bit of vegetable growth, from beginning to end, he "would know what God and man is. ’ The modern scientist is in the same position. If one could understand fully this business of light waves that produce thunder, drum beats and siren wails, one would have a clearer picture of the universe than any mortal that ever lived. All of which is just another way of saying that the earth is compacted of profound mysteries. The scientists are poking into these mysteries bravely, but each one when solved merely uncovers anew one beyond it. They dicover just enough to demonstrate that we live in a world of wonder. And that, perhaps, is their chief service to us. Who can be cocksure, in a world where the tiniest flame can speak with a voice like thunder?

The Farm Relief Muddle Daily it becomes increasingly clear that farm relief under the agricultural marketing act thus far has been a dismal failure. Farmers now are in worse plight than they were thirteen months ago, when President Hoover signed the bill, and loud is their outcry. Wheat at country elevators is bringing farmers 70-odd cents a bushel, the lowest price in seventeen years. This contrasts with a Chicago price of around 51.20 when the farm board began to function. Cotton and all other major crops are down. The crop report just Issued by the department of agriculture shows that this year’s harvests again will yield large surpluses, and there are heavy carryovers from last year. Acreage has not been restricted, although the farm board has said curtailed output is the only way in which prces can be raised. True, the farm board began its operations too late greatly to influence this season's crops, but there is little evidence that the bulk of the farmers regard the program of less acreage with favor. Chairman Legge of the farm board, visiting wheat-producing areas, encountered determined opposition. Governor Clyde M. Reed of Kansas in particular objected to restriction of a crop which is the state's main reliance, and for which there is no substitute. He voiced the views of the farmers in the principal grain-producing state. Stabilization corporations set up for wheat and cotton and supplied with government funds have been ineffective. Numerous co-operatives granted loans have accomplished little. Congress supplied the board with *250.000.000, of which $140,000,000 has been loaned in one way or another. Farm board funds bought 60,000 000 bushels of wheat last year, which is being carried at a cost of *1.000,000 a month of taxpayers’ money. And most of this wheat was purchased at around *1.15 cents a bushel. Adding to the farmer's trouble is the new tariff, elevating the cost of the things he buys and ineffective on the things he sells. The farm board tfias been assailed by business, particularly grain rapiers and speculators, for interfering wi§i private

business. Fanners, on the other hand, contend the board hasn’t done enough. Thus the situation is muddled badly, and apparently almost as far from solution as it was eight or nine years ago, when the question became a national issue. Senator Capper of Kansas is advocating purchase of 100,000,000 bushels of wheat, to bring up the price in fact, but Chairman Legge has said no more will be bought. There seems to be no way of disposing of that already on hand. Talk of the export debenture is being renewed. • It was not to be expected that the farm board would be able to effect an economic revolution in a year's time, and that would have been necessary if farmers were to be put on a parity with industry and business. Next year, perhaps, the propaganda for smaller crops may be effective, although there is little in past experience to indicate that it will be. Meantime, the farm problem will be an issue in the next session of congress in December, probably more important than ever before, and may have farreaching influence in the November elections. The administration and business leaders will be concerned because of the lowered purchasing power of the country’s greatest market.

John MacDonald Is Found The Governor of California, in the statement accompanying his refusal to grant a pardon to Thomas J. Mooney, admitted that the state’s case against Mooney rested largely upon the testimony of one John MacDonald. The California supreme court, in declining to recommend a pardon for Warren K. Billings, likewise rested its opinion on the testimony of MacDonald. MacDonald was one of two men who testified that they saw Mooney and Billings plant the bombs that killed ten men and wounded forty others during the San Francisco Preparedness day parade in 1916, Governor and supreme court admitted that the other witness, F. C. Oxman, had lied and that he was not even in San Francisco at the time of the explosion. They took notice also of the fact that MacDonald in 1921 had repudiated his testimony. They declared, however, that they doubted this repudiation and said that effort should be made to find MacDonald, so he might be questioned again. The Scripps-Howard newspapers have found MacDonald. He repeats his repudiation of the testimony that sent Mooney and Billings to prison for life and says he is ready to return to San Francisco to be questioned by the Governor and the supreme court. It only remains, therefore, for the Governor and the California high court to go through with the part they have laid out for themselves. MacDonald, by his own statement, is a liar—a “confessed perjurer,” as the supreme court called him, while at the same* time insisting that his evidence swearing away the freedom of Mooney and Billings must be accepted. But the Governor and the court want him. And here he is. We are glad to have found him. There are few things more important to the welfare of this republic than that this case of Mooney and Billings be disposed of, and disposed of properly, once and for all.

Ten Murders a Year England may be the mother country, but there are times when it appears that mother and daughter have very little in common. London, for instance, just has reported a drop in its murder rate. During 1929, in all the London police districts, there were only ten murders committed. Yet the British aren't satisfied tor four of the murderers thus far have escaped justice. This is rather shocking, and Britain is writing to The Times about it, in staid indignation. Ten murders in a whole year! New York, Chicago, or Detroit would look on a record like that as being a near approach to the millennium. And any time the police of any American city can catch 60 per cent of their murderers they will be more than satisfied. Tlie present ratio is a mere fraction of that. The most ambitious baby on record is the one born at Denver recently with a full set of teeth. He believes in starting life’s grind early.

The very least we could do for our heroes would be to give them a job cleaning up the confetti we threw at them. a a a There's one man w'ho knows what Mayor Jimmy Walker is up against in having to glad hand incoming whales day after day and tell each of them how incomparable he is, and that man is the newspaper reporter who has to write up the home entertainment in such a way as to make each participant think he was the horseradish thereof. aaa The papers say that the automobile is chasing the camel out of North Africa, which must be very disconcerting. coming as it does just after Dwight Morrow chased him out of New Jersey. a a a POSSIBLY A1 Smith didn't attend Tammany's Fourth of July celebration because Tammany knifed him for investigating two Tammany statesmen, who later were sent up. Smith knew what the penalty would be, but he did his duty just the same, and he's entitled to credit for that. a a a President Hoover will get quick action on the London naval pact because the hot weather soon will end senatorial debate.

SCIENCE -BY DAVID DIETZ—-

Man Fast Is Learning the Benefit of Getting Out in the Sunshine. r T'HE summer sun invites humanity to come outdoors and most business men are wise enough to heed its call at least once or twice a week. There was a day when the average business man paid so little attention to the weather that he didn't know whether it was raining or clear outdoors. But now that he has learned the value of ultra-violet radiation—to say nothing of the fun of playing golf—you find him sneaking away from the office whenever he gets the opportunity. Man at last has learned what animals seem to have known instinctively from the beginning of time, namely, that there is health in the rays of the sun. Os course, there also is danger in the sun. The man or woman who has been indoors almost continuously for eleven months of the year is inviting trouble if he lies on the bench in the hot sun for <fwo or three hours on the first day of his vacation, Sur.burn can be extremely unpleasant. What is worse, it can be extremely dangerous. Severe illness, including septicemia or blood poisoning, can be caused by excessive sunburn. But the person who accustoms himself gradually to the summer sun is certain to benefit from it.

Sun-Tan THE vogue of the outdoor swimming pool is a step in the right direction. Cities which are building these pools where their residents may enjoy the sun while swimming in water whose bacterial content is kept within safe limits are doing a real service to build up the health of the nation. Sun-tan bathing suits mark a step in the right direction. So do the sun-tan dresses which the women are wearing. Perhaps some style expert can collaborate with a great psychologist and evolve styles for mere man which will be as sensible and healthful. Perhaps then, the two can call in some great propagandist, like the expert gentleman who advised Czecho-Slovakia to declare its independence on a Sunday because the American newspapers were short of news on Monday morning. And then, perhaps, the three can get mere man to change his ways. Perhaps they can persuade him not to wear a vest in the summer time. That would be a beginning. Within a decade, he even might discard his coat and walk about with his sleeves rolled up so that the sun could shine on his arms. They might even, after a decade or two, persuade him, when he went to play golf, to wear golf stockings which were a bit lighter than the sort affected by Swiss ski-jumpers. One need not dismay. Humanity has recovered from worse habits. In the middle ages, every new-born babe was wrapped up in strips of cloth known as swaddling clothes. These prohibited any natural movements on the part of the poor babe, and, according to Dr. Howard W. Haggard of Harvard medical school, about 50 per cent of the infants died.

Rickets UNQUESTIONABLY we do not as yet know the complete story of the part played by sunlight in health. Os course, by now, every one knows the story of rickets. It has been proved beyond question that small children who do not get enough sunlight are likely to develop rickets, a disease in which the bones do not grow normally. This means that infants need sunlight quite as much as adults. Parents will realize, however, the necessity of accustoming small children gradually to the sun to prevent sunburn. Parents also will realize that a small child should not be permitted to sleep with the sun shining into its eyes. The portion of sunlight which prevents rickets is the utlra-violet radiation. The ultra-violet has a hard time getting through smoky atmospheres and so the cities which have the greatest amount of smoke and dust in their atmospheres are the ones where rickets is most common. The vitamins of cod-liver oil have the same effect as the ultra-violet of the sun, in so far as the prevention of rickets is concerned. That is why medical men advice cod-liver oil for small children. It is doubtful whether it is possible for any child to get enough sunlight in a big city in the winter time. Scientists have known for a long time that it was the energy of sunlight which enabled plants to grow, but it is only within recent years that they have begun to understand the complex relationships between the sun and growing things.

-iqoAyfjsTHe=Z Z BASTILE DAY July 14 ON July 14, 1789, the populace of Paris stormed the Bastille, a prison which the revolutionists long regarded as a symbol of oppression The fall of this ancient fortress is celebrated in France as the chief national holiday and as the day when anew era of liberty dawned for the people and an end was put to the old regime. In the uprising a force of about 50,000 attacked the Bastille, killed its governor and seven of his men and scattered the archives of the prison. The prisoners, seven in number, were carried through the streets and hailed as victims of tyranny and martyrs in the people's cause. It is interesting to note that Lafayette sent the key to the Bastille to George Washington “because the principles of America it was that opened the Bastille.’* This relic still may be seen at Mt. Vernon. The site of the building now is marked by a column of bronze dedicated to the memory of the patriots of July, 1789, and 1830,

Excess Weight After Mid-Life Is Peril

BY DR, MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine. ONE of the most interesting questions relative to overweight is whether the person accustomed to carrying extra weight becomes more easily fatigued than the normal person, and furthermore what effect fatigue has on the already lowered mechanical efficiency of the obese. It is the general impression that thin people and fat people become more fatigued than those of normal weight. It would seem likely that extra weight would tend to prevent easy fatigability but the observation is not certain, and as a result,

IT SEEMS TO ME By ™ D

IT turns out that there are 7,000,000 of us. row that the growth of Greater New iTork has been vindicated, editorial writers are inclined to remark, 'What of it?" and to pretend that unlike the boosters in other American cities, size is not important as far as we are concerned. Stiff, before flic returns came in from the missing districts there was grave concern. The population of Manhattan Island has been shrinking steadily and there are inhabitants in this boro who feel that folk in Brooklyn and *he Bronx are really hinterlanders and not authentic citizens of New York at all. But now that they have saved our face in the matter of population total, we are glad to include them in the fold. But it is a curious thing that city dwellers should welcome huge increase. What does it mean? Two people standing on your feet in the subway where only one grew before, higher rents, higher prices, more honking of horns, a greater litter on the beaches and park lawns. Never have I been able to understand the ghastly fear which fills some people at the mention of the phrase, ‘‘race suicide." I am not denying the right of any group te be fruitful and multiply. Generally speaking, I am glad when friends of mine announce the birth of a son or daughter. Yet it fills me with no enthusiasm at all to learn that hundreds of thousands of families have also had their share of blessed events. I think I speak frankly in saying that I would not mourn much if the census figures of any decade

Times Readers Voice Views

Editor Times—l see by the paper . that President Hoover, after several months of hard fighting for the benefit and relief of the disabled veterans of the World war, at least succeeded m putting the measure through. It is remarkable what great things ; Mr. Hoover can accomplish. Just j imagine the sunshine that has taken ' the place of the shadows on the j faces of those disabled veterans when they read in the paper what j Mr. Hoover has done for them. A veteran who is blind, deaf, and ] with both arm% and legs off, is entitled to S4O a month. Os course, he is not worthy of that enormous amount of money, but considering that he is slightly handicapped physically is the main reason for Mr. Hoover’s generosity, although that is a small item in the measure. Just listen to this one. This not only takes the worries away from the sick veteran, but Imagine the relief it brings to those mothers who furnished their sons for gun fodder in the great war. I call it a "great” war because of the great relief Mr. Hoover is handing out to she veterans. I know it was a small war and I didn’t amount to anything, for I spent almost two years in France r.nd other countries on the other side of the pond during that small uprising and I know from experience what a littl' thing it was.

Wang, Strouse and Smith have made some scientific studies to find out the exact facts. Forty-eight experiments were done on thirteen fat, fourteen normal, and eleven underweight women ranging from 16 to 30 years of age. These tests were made by putting the person studied on a bicycle arranged to measure speed, resistance, and other factors. It was shown that the mechanical efficiency before fatigue was the lowest in those who were fat and highest in those who were underweight. Mechanical efficiency was lower after the onset of fatigue than before. The endurance of work also

showed that Chicago had gone beyond us. I wouldn’t even grudge the boon to Baltimore or Los Angeles. a a a The High Hats TO be sure, every New York newspaper writer profits in prestige and possibly in stipend from the fact that his home town happens to be America’s metropolis. The lads from even self-sufficient Chicago give ground a little when the big town representatives arrive. Something of magnificence still exists in the phrase, "a New York newspaper man.” But, though I would be almost the last to argue against the leadership of this city, I hate to think that its reputation should rest upon mere weight of numbers. Indeed, I would welcome a day of dwindling. New York stiff would be New York if only half this size. Though Chicago topped us a million or more, the perfect Manhattanite might then even put visitors from the Windy City in their place by elevating one eyebrow and murmuring, "A middle-westerner, I believe.” For instance, the fact that New York sets the pace in theatrical productions for the rest of the country is not wholly dependent upon the circumstances that we are big. Discriminating theater-goers represent only a tiny fraction of the population. Indeed, a good many of them are not New Yorkers at all, but visiters from distant places who have sought communion with the modern Athens. It is the depth of New York life and not its width and length which

doctor and all the other bills that go with married life, he is entitled to spend the rest of that sl2 for anything he\ desires, perhaps an automobile or any other luxury. I think that the main reason of Mr. Hoover’s generosity was to take care of his veterans for future wars, as they will all try to get in the service (maybe). There is one thing Mr. Hoover has accomplished through his great charitable act. That is, that he can depend that if he runs again for President in 1932, he will get very few of the nearly 4,000,000 veterans’ votes. The wisest thing Mr. Hoover could do in the next election would be to say, "I do not choose to run.” Mr. Hoover went over big last election, but he will look like a small-timer n the next, for we have too many starving Belgians in the United States.

was lowest for the fat and highestfor the normal group. The records of many insurance companies and of practically every one who has studied the question of endurance, resistance and fatigue indicate that overweight after middle life is a menace to health. The added weight constitutes an extra burden on the tissues at a time when the tissues are not in position to respond. In these modern times when proper studies of diet have shown the way to reduce efficiently and comfortably to a normal figure, there is no reason why any one should carry excess tissue which constitutes a menace to health.

should be our boast. Some of the largest of American cities are among those most dead and deadly in their inner spirit. Boston, for instance, flourished more brilliantly in years when it was less populous. There once was literature and music and a little bootlegged sculptor. Yet today a bigger Boston is known as a grubby town where anything of imagination dies at birth and only the most heavy-handed musical comedies have a chance of survival. a a a But, Seriously NOT all which hase been set down so far is intended seriously, but it is well in earnestness to inquire into the quality of growth rather than its quantities. Few communities ever have been able to avoid matching a high birthrate with a corresponding rise in the ratio of deaths. For the good of all, population might proceed at a reduced pace until we have more parks, more air, more jobs. The Malthus lived a long time ago; it does not seem to me that any economist has been able to shatter his fundamental proposition that population tends to increase more rapidly than means of sustenance. Malthus had no conception of improvements in agricultural machinery, farming methods and means of quick distribution. But the fact remains that no city ever has grown fast without adding mightily to its slums and to its army of the deserving poor. I would be more enthusiastic about New York's increase if I knew that somewhere people planned new schools and hospitals and recreation centers in advance to serve the need of each new battalion of arrivals.

M. E. Tracy SAYS:

In Spite of All That Has Been Said, Cash Still Counts More Than a Good Record in This Country. FIVE THOUSAND suckers hang around a New Jersey cemetery all night to see a much-advertised ghost do his, her. or its stuff. Just what went wrong, no one seems to know. Maybe the ghost and the manager fell out over the split. A Bronx medium quotes the late Sir Arthur Conan Doyle as proclaiming from ‘he spirit world, “You don’t know nothing yet!” As Emmy Lou s uncle Charlie said. "No more we do ’’ The saddest part of it is that we are as much at sea with regard to things earthly as with regard to things heavenly, and you don't need to bring up Communism. Mussolini, or the Scopes cane to prove it. From Spain comes the report that laws to “humanize” bullfighting, passed under the Rivera regime, soon will be -epealed. Dealers in broken-down horses want more of them gored to death; spectators, eager for a bigger kick, want burning darts used again; and children under 14, demanding the rights of naming youth, want to attend the show. BBS Kills for Mercy A77-year-old father of Walton, N. Y„ kills his demented daughter for fear that she might fall into less kindly hands after he was gone. Not only neighbors, but even the authorities, accept his explanation that it was a “mercy killing.” Amenities of the judicial system must be observed, however, so the old man will be held without bail on a charge of first degree murder. In the face of almost certain acquittal, it is planned to commit him to an asylum for the insane. Thus we defy common sense for the sake of paying tribute to antiquated conceptions of justice. B B B Capone Grows Social LIKE some other rising young business men, Scarface A1 Capone faces two problems; first, to keep out of jail; second, to get into society. Having found Miami too hot, he buys a thirty-five-acre ranch in a neighboring county. On this ranch he proposes to build a “palatial residence,” with tennis and handball courts, a swimming pool and a ninehole golf course, all to be surrounded by a ten-foot wall. Capone is making an orthodox bid for social recognition. If the fruits of his labor are sufficient, he probably will obtain it. In spite of all we have said to the contrary, cash still counts for more than record in this country. B B B Admit No Blunders BY the record, Mooney and Billings should be free. By the record, they were convicted on perjured testimony. By the record, average people would not condemn a dog on the evidence that now stands against them. But what’s a little thing like that, when the court has finished and the prison door has closed? It’s a part of the system to admit no blunders. Asa matter of common sense, California authorities should have acted on the first evidence of injustice, and not have left the task to newspapers and volunteer organizations. B tt B Indifference Appals DO we maintain courts merely to convict human beings? Is •it not their duty to safeguard the rights of the individual as well as those of the state? Os all human .nstitutions, is our system of justice above acknowledging its fallibility, or of doing what it can to -ectify its blunder when one has been made? The most appailing feature of the Mooney-Billings case is not the fact that they were convicted on perjured testimony, but the indifference of public officials after this had been revealed to the satisfaction of nine of every ten people. If Governors, judges and prosecuting attorneys want the law to be respected, they must be as willing to recognize their own shortcomings as they are to expose those of other folks.
