They Have Their Chance

Members of the county council and the county commissioners can be given the benefit of the doubt, for the time being, in their avowed intention to rush plans for relief at the poor farm. The doubt naturally arises in view of their hedging and fudging previous to their resounding announcement of Thursday. If they proceed with the issuance of $198,000 in bonds and the erection of six new buildings, that county charges may have decent living accommodations, well and good. That will be a meritorious public service, which, after all, is only their duty. But if they merely are throwing out a smoke screen, just to tide them past the November election, they will have violated every principle of decency and honesty and common humanity. It remains to be een Just what their course will be. And no voter should forget that several of these officials arc up for re-election in November. There may be some little significance in the speed with which the county boards decided on action, after dodging the issue so palpably on Tuesday. Plan.; and specifications hastily were drawn by an architect on Wednesday, after sudden heavy conferences among members of the Coffin clique. It may, of course, have been oniy their kindly inclinations overpowering all their natural sense of political caution which prompted action for the Infirmary inmates. They may have become so overcome with their emotions that They could think of nothing but the dear public’s good. And then, again Regardless of the wishes of the council and the commission, something must be done within ninety days to find quarters for 370 men. Issuance of condemnation orders by the state fire marshal neces.sitates evacuation of the dangerous structures within that. time. That puts action squarely up to county officials, unless politics provides a loophole through which they can wriggle before that date. The public will give them a chance to make good. If they do not, there is a certain remedy. That is the public’s boot, applied with violence at the voting booths in November.

Radical Bail-Jumpers Radical labor leaders appear to have jumped thenball after conviction of the murder of Police Chief Aderholt in Gastonia, N. C., during the textile strike. They were convicted in a witch trial. They were condemned for their opinions, not for their acts. They were given heavy sentences. Yet leaders of the mob who murdered a woman worker were freed. Sympathy with the condemned because they did not have a fair trial should not befog the deeper issues involved in the case. If the convicted men do not show up to serve their sentences, it will be a hard blow to the cause of labor in this country. It will be more difficul' to get men admitted to bail. Extortionate bail will be demanded. Money tor defense of workers will be hard to procure. Merely to make good the bail forfeiture in these cases will not suffice. The reputation and responsibility ol labor is at stake. The only sensible thing is for the convicted men to surrender and begin their prison terms, men a campaign for their freedom can be started with digTheir suffering will provide a rallying point |§|[ southern textile struggles.

Edison’s Patent Reform Thoma* Edison says that court protection for an inventor in the United States today is practically nil. His own patents, he says, have cost him more in litigation than they have returned to him in royalties. He explains that he has made his money through manufacture and sale of his products, not by the mere fact of inventing them. Young inventors, who have little with which to fight pirates, often find that they can not continue the court battle, and in the meantime the courts often give the pirates permission to manufacture “for the good ol mankind.” Edison's constructive suggestion is that a special court for trying patent cases be appointed. Judges in such courts should be professors in colleges of technology, he says. They could go right into the factories of the contending parties and hold court there, he indicates. Decision then should be quick, sure and Just. Edison’s suggestion should be considered for what it Is worth by judiciary committees of the senate and the house, and by the experts of the legal profession. Hoover's Speech President Hoover's address on hard times, delivered to the American ‘bankers’ convention in Cleveland, had the merit of being a pretty acourate though somewhat depressing statement of the situation. It was depressing chiefly •perhaps, because the President offered no new remedies. It was well for the President to dwell upon the basic economic soundness of the country; our superior natural resources, our splendid industrial equipment and the energy and ability of our people. These foundations of prosperity are not destroyed or impaired by the temporary depression. Although this generally is known, it needs repeating. It is a cheering thought, and the more encouraging because it is true. i Few disagree with the President s diagnosis that basic causes of the depression are world overproduction, American overspeculation, and the American boom psychology. Even though more Than a year late, this warning is valuable in restoring a sane American attitude toward business conditions in the future “Whatever the remote causes may be, a large and immediate cause of most hard times is inflationary booms . . . these inflations in currency or credit, in land or securities, or overexpansion in some sort of commodity production beyond possible demand even m good times—may take place at home or abroadbut all bring retribution.” Hoover was at his best in insisting that these ev li cycles of boom times and depression are “not dispensations of providence,' to be accepted with fatalism. but can be controlled by economic science and business intelligence, just as medical science controls epidemics. Certain steps have been taken, as he pointed out, to mitigate the evils of the depression. Thanks to the federal reserve system, our credit structure Is sound. Government and private construction projects have taken up some of the unemployment slack. Some wise business leaders have refused to increase the depression by wage cuts. But ail this unfortunately, Is not enough. Y£e are J v*

not yet out of the hard times. Unemployment ranges somewhere between four and six millions. Therefore, it is disappointing that the President had no word to say about modifying the extortionate tariff which is prolonging the depression by killing our export trade; no word to say about establishing adequate labor exchanges and statistics; no word to say about unemployment insurance; no word to say about farm relief. After Hoovers shaip criticism of the folly and injustice of our boom-depression system of business, and his assertion that these disastrous cycles can be transformed into steady prosperity, has he no word of practical advice as to how we can start this reform?

Harvest Indeed The well-known investment house of Halsey, Stuart recently ran a full-page advertisement on “The Harvest of the Loom.” Most of the space was given over to a. very impressive and wholly justifiable eulogy of the remarkable evolution of the textile industry, to which we ail owe so much comfort. It was in the textile industry that machinery first was introduced and the way was opened for the industrial revolution, the empire of machines, and the urban age. The advertisement further assures us that the textile industry stands first among American enterprises in number of employes and in important individual plants. It ranks second In volume of capital invested and the amount of motive power used. But the advertisement carried certain figures which readers apparently were not to examine too closely—that is, unless they had forgotten their long division. The information is given that total wages paid in the American textile industry in a year are $1,099,735,000. Number of employes is listed as 1,119,733. This would appear to mean that the average wage is $982.14. As this includes many high-salafied executives, the average wage for unskilled workers would be lower than this. In the south the annual wage often is nearly S3OO less. In Greenville, S. C., it is $714, once more including the salaries of foremen and executives. Obviously the harvest of the loom has not merely increased human comfort and financial profits. It also has involved an incredible crop of human woe, trom the unspeakable English factories of a century ago to many of the mills of the south in 1930. From Lord Ashley’s reports to Lawrence, New Bedford. Patterson and Gastonia, it is a story of the making of bent backs, dwarfed frames, hollow eyes and hopeless wage slavery. We well may be proud of the magnificent technological history of textiles. We may rejoice in their contribution to the increase of the comforts of those who wear our textile products. But is it not about time that the textile industry took steps to make its social history as clean and reputable as its industrial development?

The latter to date is written large in misery, woe. anguish and helpless futility. Should we not step into anew era? We believe that it would not only be a gesture of humanity. We think it w'ould be a sound business step in the long run. Southern textile leaders like Henry P. Kendall, E’ben Whitman and L. T. Brown and George A. Sloan, president of the Cotton-Textile institute, recently have spoken out in favor of a civilized textile industry. All friends of progress should co-operate to help them translate their golden words into solid achievement. The congressman who made the proposal that advertising space be sold on postage .stamps hopes, oi course, that it will be carried out to the letter. Even after the prohibition question is settled, the barber still will want to know if it will be wet or dry. The fact that the 1930 grape crop is New York state will be 10.000 tons smaller than that of a year ago may mean that farmers* there are not interested in raisin crops this year. The trade journal which announced that tall furniture was goihg out of fashion was anxious, no doubt, to give you the low down. Cosmeticians are doing an increasing business. And it may be because even the good dye young these days. If those Scutli American presidents think they had it tough, let them be thankful they are not the president of a state university trying to get an appropria- , tion trom the legislature.

SCIENCE —BY DAVID DIET 7.

Scientists Come Out of Cloisters to Tell Secrets So Layman Can Understand Them. NO better proof of a changed point of view on the part of scientists could be found than the many excellent books addressed to the laymen now' appearing under the names of distinguished scientists. This writer—who has been engaged during the last eight years in the business of translating scientific discoveries into nontechnical English—can remember the day when- many scientists felt no wish to deal with the public. Despite the fact that such men as Huxley had labored a whole generation ago to popularize science, there remained until quite recently many scientists who regarded their laboratories as cloisters. Scientists today, however, feel that it is part of their duty to spread the spirit of science, as well as to provide the world with useful tools. It is a good thing that they think so. A machine shop is a useful place when competent workers are at the machines. It is a dangerous place, however, in which to turn loose a bunch of children. The world needs to know how' to put the findings of science to the best possible use. baa t Excellent Series AMONG the excellent popular books of science is the series being published by D. Appleton & Cos., under the general title of the Appleton Nw World of Science Series.

Watson Davis, managing editor of Science Service, is editor of the series. Books previously issued include “Antarctic Adventure and Research,” by Griffith Taylor, professor of geography at the University of Chicago and himself a famous explorer, and “New Frontiers of Physics,” by Paul R. Heyl of the United States bureau of standards, one of the most brilliant experimenters in the field of physics. To this pair of excellent books, tw ! o new ones have just been added, “Tire Conquest of Life,” by Theodore Koppanyi, the eminent biologist, and “The Green Leaf,” by D. T. MacDougal, famous botanist and research associate of the Carnegie institution. “The Conquest of Life” sets forth the groundwork of the science of biology in a form w'hich is easy reading for the layman. Dr, MacDougal’s book is concerned w'ith the subject which has been a large part of his life work, the study of photosynthesis, the process by which the green leaf manufactures sugars and starches from the carbon dioxide of the air and the W'ater of the soil. n u a From Chesterton IN the preface to his book, Professor Koppanyi W'rites: “Mr. G. K. Chesterton, writing in defense of publicity, points out a fallacy of our era which identifies sanctity with secrecy. “He defends useful information and deplores the f*t that sciene has become separated from the ‘mere news of flowers and birds’ and that we have ceased to see that a prehistoric monster was as fresh and natural as a flower, that a flower is as monstrous as that beast. “He thinks that rebuilding this bridge between science and human nature is one of the greatest needs of mankind. “Nature herself seeks publicity, hides nothing under a bushel, and it would be a strange world indeed if ‘the trees grew with their roots in the air and their load of leaves and blossoms underground, if the flowers closed at dawn and opened at sunset, if the sunflower turned toward the darkness, and the birds flew, like bats, by night.’ “The frankness with which nature reveals herself to anybody with his eyes open, can be duplicated by her humble interpreters. Humanized, popularized knowledge needs no more excuse than the policeman who tells you how to find your way about town. “The task of this book is that of a coui>;ous guide pointing out some pleasant spots in a labryrinth-like huge metropolis of modern biological science.”

BIRTH OF GORGAS - Oct. 3 ON Oct. 3, 1854. William C. Gorgas, distinguished American sanitarian, famed for eliminating yellow fever in Havana and Panama, w'as born at Mobile, Ala. After graduation from the University of the South and from the Bellevue Hospital Medical college, he w-as appointed a surgeon in the army. Sent to Havana, following the Spanish-American war, Gorgas, as chief sanitary officer, succeeded In ridding the city of yellow' fever. For this congress made him assistant surgeon-general, with the rank of colonel. From 1904 to 1913 he established and maintained remarkably healthful conditions for workers building the Panama canal, and is accredited with preventing the enormous sacrifice of life that otherwise would have ensued among men not acclimated to the tropics. In 1914 he was made surgeongeneral, with the rank of briga-dier-general. Two years following he was elevated to major-general and, in 1918, was retired. He died in 1920. a year after he accepted a contract to carry out a sanitary program for the government of Peru. When did the Dempsey-Sharkey fight occur? How long did it last? The fight w r as held at the Yankee stadium. New York, Thursday, July 21. 1927. As nearly as can be estimated the fight began at six minutes to 10 o'clock and ended tw’entyfour minutes and forty-five seconds later.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE Tomatoes May Develop Vitamin G

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygela, the Health Magazine. IT has been taken for granted that the vitamins contained in fresh fruits and vegetables were equally available in the canned and preserved products or in products modified in various ways. Tomatoes are available not only as the fresh fruit used in salads, but also in the form of canned tomatoes, tomato juice, catsup, and tomato pulp prepared in other ways. It has been recognized from the first that the tomato is one of the most important sources of vitamin C. the anti-scurvy vitamin. It is important that the public know whether it/may rely on any given type of tomato for this purpose. To determine the importance of canned tomatoes as compared with fresh tomatoes so far as concerns the prevention of scurvy, represen-

IT SEEMS TO ME BY H broun D

I WOULD like tc tell you about my first day in jail. My boss, Roy Howard, said not long ago in a special issue of this column that no Scripps-Howard feature men ever had gone to congress or the pen. Half of that excellent tradition has been broken. I had to wait until I was more than 40 to be arrested for the first time, end I must admit that even now it is not possible for me to tell a tale about the horrors of a cellblock. They held me for only two he-." '' and I didn't get into a cell at all. It all happened on account of picketing. I was marching with the Fifth avenue dressmakers who are on strike, This part of it isn’t funny. As far as dressmaking ges. I must admit not knowing the difference between balbriggan and chiffon. Maybe they're the same thing. But I do know something about working conditions. And it is true that the so-called aristocrats of the trade sometimes receive as little as $lB and S2O a week.

So Much for So Much IN speaking before a meeting of the dressmakers. I said that I had heard some dresses cost as much as SSOO. They laughed me to scorn, and from the audience came shouts of “Five thousand!” “Ten thousand!” it is my hope never to become involved in any way with garments so costly. But there is a certain irony in a S2O girl working on a SIO,OOO dress. Accordingly. I paraded with the rest, and everything went quietly and smoothly until we reached Forty-fifth street and Fifth avenue, where a policeman told me that it would be necessary for us to disperse. , The charge of creating a disturbance hardly held good, because Fifth avenue is always blase. It gives no more than a single look to a long column of strikers marching two by two. close to the curb. It was only the policeman who paid any particular attention to our parade. Since permission had been granted, I undertook to argue with 1 him. That seems to be a privilege denied to citizens of New York. And so we got in a taxicab together and rode to the station house. It's a funny thing about'policemen. On duty they often seem officious and overbearing, but at close range all of them are pleasant, intelligent, and good debaters. BBS 'The Hairy Ape' IN the taxicab we talked about the development of the American drama, the Wall Street crash and whether or not Jack Sharkey can take it. In the main, our minds ran parallel. Patrolman Wilson rates Eugene O'Neill far higher than I do, but j “Strange Interlude” gets many people in just that way. At the station house I was, searched anArthe desk sergeant dug

tatives of the food and drug administration made some studies on guinea pigs w'hich had been fed a diet planned to produce scurvy and which were then fed a diet including various types of canned tomatoes. The canned tomatoes concerned included both the cold pack and open kettle method. Green tomato pickles were prepared with spice, onion and pepper and artificially colored tomatoes were produced by treating the green tomatoes with ethylene. Cold pack canned tomatoes were capable of producing a cure of scurvy in the guinea pigs after the cans had been stored as long as nine months, whereas tomatoes canned by* the open kettle method did not produce complete recovery even with larger dosage, indicating that vitamin C is lost by oxidation. The green canned cold pack tomatoes indicated conisderable loss of

out that letter from,, the Woman’s Book and Play Club of Akron, 0., for which I had been looking for a week because it had not been answered. From the station house we rode to court in a taxicab. The suggestion was mine. Hera we met up with the gentlemen of the press. “Put him in a cell, so we can get a picture of him peering out through the bars,” said a couple of news photographers who are always full of good ideas. “I won’t,” said the lieutenant in charge. “I've got five holdup men in there.” Whether he feared for me or the prisoners I do not know. I got a seat on a bench. By now my lawyer had arrived.

vitamin C following storage. It was found that tomatoes ripened in the greenhouse were not quite so potent in vitamin C as those ripened in the field. Tomatoes colored red by the use of ethylene gas also required larger doses to produce recovery than those ripened in the field. Tomatoes ripened in dark rooms produced recovery, indicating that the vitamin C may develop in the tomato after it is cut from the vine. The amount of vitamin C in green tomato pickles was found to be so small as to be negligible. Obviously, exact knowledge is needed before a conclusion can be drawn as to the virtue of any special type of food for the prevention of what arc known as deficiency diseases.

There was no argument on the facts. “Case dismissed,” said Magistrate Ford, and I w ! ent out into God’s sunlight a free man, with no more than a trace of prison pallor on my cheeks.

Whether Consciously or Not, We Are Teaching Our Young People to Look for Soft Places, at the Expense of Some One Else. SIXTY thousands on the bleachers, six million before bulletin boards, newspaper circulation up 10 or 15 per cent and all because of a ball game. A clean sport, no doubt, but one that forces the crowd to stop thinking and exercising while welL-paid entertainers do their stuff. When you sfty that it Is better than bullfighting, or an improvement on the old Roman ideas, you have said about everything in its favor. In this particular Instance, however, it may be serving an exceptionally good purpose. Serious as some of our troubles may be, we have been talking rathef too much about them, especially since so muclA of the talk ran to self pity, or impractical schemes of relief. “Find work,” has been the yell with regard to unemployment when there wasn't any to be found, and when the real problem was to make some. We have built up a theory, and our educational system is somewhat responsible for it. that life consists of little more than getting one job after another. It's a fine idea to connect with a pay roll and stay connected, but when all of us have adopted it, who will provide the pay roll? ab b • Look for Soft Jobs EXPERTS who are psycho-an-alyzing the causes of this slump, and trying to devise ways and means of preventing its repetition, will miss something of importance* if they fail to consider the part played by the loss of ambition for independent careers, especially among native born Americans. Whether consciously or not. we are teaching our young people to look for soft places at someone's else expense, to believe that higher education and big business have created a situation which makes it unnecessary for boys and girls to start out with the idea of doing anything by or for themselves. Three generations ago, the average American left school or college with the determination of being his own boss. Now he leaves with the hope that he can find a boss who will let him get ahead.

Independence Gone OUR grandfathers did not think much of a man w'ho lived in a rented house, worked on a rented farm, or sailed a ship of w'hich he owned no part. Socially, educationally and commercially, the pressure was all for independent, creative ambition. Life was not painted as a jobhunting expedition, in which the big idea was to grab somebody's coattail and hang on, but as a game in which every red-blooded man was expected to play his own hand. It goes without saying that machinery has forced some revision of that philosophy, that specialization on the one hand and organization on the other, have left less room for independence than there used to be. But. and making every allowance for this factor, there is room for more of it than the prevailing attitude would seem to suggest. Go into most any tow r n, and you will find immigrants, or the children of immigrants, running a surprisingly large percentage of the small, independent business establishments. Go outside of that town, and you will find them owning or operating a surprisingly large percentage of the truck farms. At thq sarpe time, you will find young Americans looking for places W'here they can get regular pay, without assuming tco much responsibility. a a a . Take Cliances BY and large, youth travels the road it has been advised to take. For the last thirty or forty years it has been advised to take the road leading to a pay envelope every week, and to avoid such ventures as involved risk; to rent a house, or apartment, rather than buy a home; to get under the wing of some big corporation, rather than establish a business of its own; to let bankers handle its money; and, in short, do nothing, or seek to be nothing, except a cog of the mechanism. The result is fewer failures, but longer bread lines in the case of a slump; bigger reserves for big business, but at the price of smaller reserves, or no reserves at all on the part of too many common folks, and a perfectly logical demand for increased regulation and assistance by the government. Do Amos ’n’ Andy use the phrase “shake and double shake” or “check and double check’ They use the latter ohrase.
