Itockne, Truly an Idol To few is it given to win so deep a place in the hearts of countless thousands, to gain so firm a grip upon the respect and confidence of multitudes, to influence human lives Yy a word that, even in life they become a tradition, almost a deity. That was the place filled by Knute Rockne, who had become much more than a trainer of college boys in athletic games, much more than the invincible leader upon the gridiron, but, instead, a maker of men. Rockne built more than football games. He built character in youths who had never seen him but who followed his words with an interest in the infallibility of his advice. Rockne was one of the great evangelists of clean living, as he was the exemplar of clean thinking. That he was able to inspire, year after year, the players upon the football fields of Notre Dame to deeds of courage, that he could lift them to exploits beyond their beliefs in themselves, was incidental. He was the leader who gave emphasis to courage for life as well as play. He was the leader who could lift the vision above victory to the worth of trying. He was the leader who directed thought to the qualities of life that win when days are dark and obstacles appear insurmountable. Men and women everywhere respected and admired this man of versatile genius and of many appeals. To the youth of the land he had become an idol. His simplicity of soul, his great capacity for friendship, his sturdiness of character will be remembered by those who knew him and loved him. His tragic death at an hour when fame had nothing more to offer but opportunity for greater usefulness shocks the unnumbered admirers to whom he had become a, leader, a guide, an institution within his own personality. Killing Trade Among the' 6,000,000 totally unemployed many are from factories now closed by the collapse of our foreign trade. These hungry Americans, and the Chambers of Commerce of the country which are working so hard for a revival of foreign trade, will be interested in the newest device of Washington to destroy more export trade. The United States department of labor just has refused permission to Feodor M. Zyavkin to remain in the country. Zyavkin is general manager c f the Amtorg Trading Corporation of New York, the Russian organization which is buying goods in the United States at the rate of $145,000,000 a year. Zyavkin is not charged with being a Communist propagandist. Indeed, Secretary of Labor Doak denies that the ordered expulsion of this business man has anything to do with improper conduct on his part. Apparently Zyavkin’s only “crime” is that he is buying and paying for American products. That may be a sin to Washington, with its cross-eyed slant on Russian relations. But there ought to be some official in a position of authority in the administration with enough gumption to understand that this $145,000,000 of Russian trade during the last year has done more to provide jobs for American workers in time of depression than all the futile efforts of the administration. Asa result of the administration’s habit of raising petty obstacles in the path of Ameriean-Russian trade, millions of dollars’ worth of Russian orders have been withdrawn from American firms and given to Europe during the last few months. How much longer is the administration going to persist in this folly? The Sugar “Trust” The biggest daddy of them all has been haled into court. The Sugar Institute is charged by the United States department of justice with conspiracy to violate the anti-trust laws. All the great cane sugar companies are said to be in it, fifty or" more. They refine 85 per cent of all our granulated sugar, all of it, that is, except the 15 per cent made from beets. According to the government, these corporations have combined to fix the price of sugar, have made deals with beet-sugar competitors to restrict output, and have maintained high prices through coercive acts against brokers, jobbers and grocers. The Sugar Institute’s answer is interesting. It .says that its code of ethics, or method of operation, far from being illegal, actually was approved by the department of justice. We have no desire to prejudice this case. The alleged sugar trust -deserves its day in court. If found guilty, it should be broken and punished. However that may be, there seems to us something basically wrong in the government’s apparent practice of giving informal approval to trust operations, and then, months or years later, prosecuting the alleged trust for those approved methods. In most of the big trust prosecutions recently, this complaint has been made by the companies. We have no doubt that many, if not most, of the combines Drought to court by the government are guilty. But it seems that the government also is guilty in its lack of consistent policy, amounting almost to criminal fickleness. Indian Bureau Reform It woud be unfair to Secretary Wilbur and his two Philadelphia Quaker reform Indian commissioners, Charles J. Rhodes and J. Henry Scattergood, not to express gratification at the steps they have taken in their twenty months’ incumbency to improve the Indian service. It would be just as unfair to the nation's 300,000 Indians to say that more than a beginning has been made to clean up the mess they inherited from years of mismanagement, greed and neglect. . Tbo reorganization plans and promises of fundamental reforms mean little unless a thorough housecleaning is made in personnel. Welcome is the appointment oi such splendid men as Dr. W. Carso Ryan as new educational -chief, Robert Lansdale as head of the new "human relations” division, A. C. . * *

Cooley a$ chief of agricultural extension, and the halfscore of new superintendents. There remain, however, among the bureau's 5,000 employes, too many of the old bureaucrats habituated to indifference. And fundamental reforms still are ahead. The $43,000,000 of illegal remiburseable <iebt, much of it loaded upon the backs of the Indians, only to benefit whites, must be scaled down. The vicious allotment system, under which 100,000 Indians have become dispossessed and sent into the world as near paupers, must be changed so that on the death of an Indian allottee his property does not fall into the hands of whites through forced sales. Some method of caring for the 100,000 dispossessed Indians must be evolved. The boarding school should be abated entirely and a decent local school system provided. The Swing - Johnson bill should b j passed, to permit states to administer relief, healt.i, and education. Coercion, corporal punishment, and child labor should be wiped out. New Indian lav/s must be written and their just administration insured. Doubtless Commissioners Rhodes and Scattergood would be the first to admit that their task is just begun. A Key to Foreign Trade While Senator Borah in Washington deplores our lack of development of foreign trade, the prince of Wales and hi-, brother are engaged in a supersalesmen’s tour cf South America. In these countries lie many of the plums of commerce just ready for plucking. Germany wants them, so do we. So does England. Meanwhile, President Hoover returns from the Caribbean, where Governor Theodore Roosevelt of Porto Rico has been telling the chief executive of a unique service which he feels young Porto Ricans are especially qualified to render. Standing in the position of American citizens speaking our language, but never forgetting his owr native Spanish, the Porto Rican is particularly fitted to go into South America as a commercial representative. He understands the ways of the Latins. He understands our ways, too. Big manufacturing firms, desiring to sell their goods in the countries to the south, well might consider employing well-educated, energetic Porto Ricans in their branch offices in Brazil, the Argentine, Chile, Peru and other key countries. there was the young bride who grew suddenly jealous when her husband revealed he was in love with his work. A gin party is sometimes like a prize fight, the office sage observes. Two rounds and you’re out. It is the hope of every baseball manager, of course, to make jack of all trades. Beauty shops now are said to rank sixth in American industry. The business has advanced many good features. If Cal Coolidge accepts that $1,000,000 job as head of the New England dairy interests, he’ll doubtless make his own hay while the sun shines. Southerners who dunk corn pone in potlikker may be heartened by the fact King Albert of Belgium dips his toast in coffee. They know, at least, the custom is fit for a king. The man who has designs on a girl usually is architect of his own fate. Then there’s the facetious tonsorialist who refers to dandruff as chips off the old block. A birdie in hand is worth considerable to any golfer. Now that a movement is on foot to Anglicize operas, hope is high that train announcers may be induced to use understandable English.

REASON

The sure way to bring all your forty-second cousins to bat is to pass away without children and leave a large fortune. People now are bobbing up all over the country claiming to be related to Miss Wendel, who died in New York the other day, leaving $100,000,000. a a a The papers said she was the richest woman in the country, but we’d say she was one of the poorest, for she lived her last years, all alone in a great big, gloomy house. We know of an Indiana woman who is lots richer than Miss Wendel. a a a This woman is a widow and she hasn’t a cent, except what she makes, yet she is surpassingly rich in the currency of happiness, for she has a pair of kids. And all the money of this world is just a pile of junk, alongside a pair of kids! a a a ALMOST every family has been notified some time that it is entitled to share in some vast fortune, far away. Not so long ago we were thrilled by information that we were about to inherit millions —no we believe it was billions. a a a It is no piker’s state; it was a real one. It took in half of California, two-thirds of New fork City and all of Chillicothe, too. It has covered the land on which A1 Smith and Raskcb have just put their great building. But somehow we didn’t connect, and we suppose well have to keep on working. a a a Almost every young lawyer has at least one client who claims a great estate somewhere. When we started in the practice of law we had such a client. He claimed practically everything east of the Alleghenies. a a a AND this wasn’t all. He also claimed a great fishing concession. As we recall he claimed all the goggle eyes between Nova Scotia and Cape Hatteras. It was really a very attractive proposition. a a a While this client was long on prospects he was short on cash; he was even worse off than we were and that was going some. We had to keep him until he grabbed the estate. We fed him sparingly and gave him meat only when his pulse grew faint. a a a We had to keep him alive, for he was the only client we had; but for some reason we never were able to get our hooks on the estate. Our client finally went to the poorhouse and we bad a very narrow escape. So, we advise you not to take much stock to wild rumors of fortune from forgotten ancestors. i , mt

M. E. Tracy SAYS:

The Thousand and One Unnecessary Duties Forced on the President Make His Life a Hell on Earth. YORK. April I.—The Managua earthquake just is one ; more of those natural disasters we have not yet learned to foresee, much less to forestal. There have been twenty-six major earthquakes in the last twentyfive years, involving the loss of a half-million lives and an incalculable amount of property. Besides, there have been floods, droughts, famines and fires, not to mention the continuous ravages of .disease. From a common sense, if not a humanitarian, view-point, it would seem as if such disasters produce enough trouble, without men attempting to manufacture it on their own account. It would be a wonderful thing if we coufc devote more of our ambition, energy and ingenuity to the one worth-while struggle of liberating humanity from its natural peril and waste less <sf it in the futile attempt to win success by trampling down one another. We Grow More Helpful THE one encouraging sign is a constantly growing disposition to help people in distress, no matter who or where they are. Though we Americans will not do all that we might, or all that the situation calls for, we still will do ■ something to assist the unfortunate city of Managua, which our marines have occupied for the last nineteen years. If the assistance we render is sufficient to offset some of the irritation and ill-feeling our meddling has caused, we should not regard it in the light of charity, but as a necessary and profitable investment. We have shown the Nicaraguans our worst side all too long. Insofar as this misfortune gives us a chance to reveal a better side, it represents real opportunity. President Hoover is to be congratulated for tendering immediate aid through the Red Cross. 8 8 U Hoover Gets p eal Test SOMETIMES, it looks as though President Hoover could not step foot inside the White House without being confronted with trials and tribulations. Maybe it’s a whim of ironical fate to test those qualities which were advertised so widely as fitting him for the presidency. Certainly, no peace-time chief executive has been called upon to meet more' peculiar or unexpected problems. The depression set in less than seven months after he took office, to be followed in rapid succession by drought, political discord, and discouraging conditions throughout the world. Just now, the President feels strong and buoyant after a short trip to the West Indies, but within two weeks he won’t know he had a vacation. He comes back to find his party torn with dissension and confused by, intrigue, the treasury facing a deficit of $700,000,000, with the task of writing eight speeches within ten weeks, not to mention the routine duties of his office which are enough to overtax most men. U ft u Presidents Break THE fact that we have only one ex-President alive speaks for itself. The office has girown almost beyond human endurance, and chiefly because we have imposed social and political duties which the President never was meant to shoulder. During the first half century, our Presidents were able to go through the grand comparatively untouched. During the last half century the majority have come out of it broken men. Shaking hands, running the party as well as the government, attending dinners and receptions, patting this movement, campaign, or enterprise on the back, and performing other political and social stunts, have combined to make the President’s life a hell on earth. When Mr. Hoover left the Arizona, he couldn’t sit down in the boat like common men, but had to stand up while twenty-one guns were fired in his honor. If a thousand school children visit Washington, he is expected to show himself, if not lay a benign hand on each curly head, like other trained seals. Worst of all, he is expected to straighten out every kind of a dispute or row 7 which occurs among his followers, and if he fails to do so promptly and effectively, it is taken as proving his unfitness to occupy the office. Hasn’t the time come to ask ourselves what a President is supposed to do?

Bile Spread Causes Jaundice

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia. the Health Magazine. JAUNDICE is the result of the spread of bile throughout the body. Bile is formed in the liver and passes from the liver into the gallbladder and into the intestines. If anything happens to prevent its passing in this manner, it is picked up by the blood and carried throughout the body. The skin and the whites of the eyes turn yellow and most of the excretions are colored. There is a condition of mild inflammation of the bile ducts which temporarily prevents the passing of

Times Readers Voice- Their Views

Editor Times—While there are many things to make us all feel encouraged about the present temperance and prohibition situation, there are others to make us really “sit up and take notice.” We read and hear much today about the modification or repeal of the prohibition law. It is hoped and expected that the right thinking people will find much in the following statements and facts that may be used advantageously in combating the wet propaganda with which the daily press is flooding the country. “Pussyfoot” Johnson tells us that many of our daily presses have sold to the wets and the European breweries are flooding their money into our country to fight our prohibition laws, because they see their doom if the United States retains and enforces its present prohibition laws. So we can not expect to find reliable information in the wet daily newspapers. We look back to war days and wonder how we could have been fooled so easily by the propaganda put out by the war promoters. All sorts of stories filled our daily papers and then about German atrocities and a dozen other equally groundless things to stir up suspicion and hatred. Since the war we find that the same thing was done on the other side of the trenches. War thrives on lies and hate, not on truth and good will. There is going on before our eyes this very day the same kind of propaganda in behalf of repeal or modification of the prohibition laws. We are being told that one public man after another is coming out for modification. Some of these cases no doubt are bona fide, for more than one public man has yielded to the propaganda just as in war days. One of the most insidious, not to say vicious, phases of the wet propaganda today suggests that lawlessness Is the product of prohibition. Sip flasks are no more to be charged to the prohibition law than lynchings are to the law against mob rule. Drinking by young women and girls is no more due to the law than are other modern customs and habits, against which no prohibition exists.’ The rapidly growing cigaret. habit among young women during the past decade can not be disposed of by charging it to laws or constitutional amendments prohibiting cigaret smoking. The society cocktail habit is not so much the product of prohibition as it is an evidence of a perverted idea of “culture.” Prohibition did not make law breakers. It only showed us when men willing to put loyalty to their appetites above loyalty to the Constitution. Long before we had prohibition, the graveyards were being filled by those who were being poisoned by wine, whisky and alocohol. Do not allow yourself to be deceived with the thought that only home brew kills people. Many of the wets go around ridiculing prohibition, but as yet have not made one valuable suggestion for solving the problem. We know our prohibition law is being violated, so are all of our other laws. But it would better be a blind pig, outlawed and driven into the alley, than a roaring tiger licensed and doing business on the best comer of every block. We can not see where modification would help any, for a saloon by any other name would smell just as bad. If all the folks who are saying that prohibition is a failure would support the law for one month, the success of the experiment would astonish the world. We believe too many Americans ♦

bile out of the body. This is called catarrhal jaundice and usually clears up with careful medical treatment. It may be sometimes associated with similar inflammation of the stomach and of the intestines associated with absorption of bile and there may be itching of the skin and perhaps even a depression, such as melancholia. When the bile begins to discharge, these symptoms begin to disappear. There are other conditions associated with jaundice, however, which demand surgical attention. Stones can form in the gall bladder and block the passing of the bile out of the gall bladder. In such cases only a surgical operation will

know too much about the regulated liquor business ever to want to see it restored. They remember it in the term of disrupted homes, interrupted schooling, inadequate food and clothes. They are for prohibition because of the human dividends it pays. They know that liquor never has contributed an idea, an ideal, or an ounce of energy to human progress. CLAUDE HARSHBARGER. Ladoga, Ind. Editor Times—l have been a reader of The Times for quite a while. In the main, I approve your stand on most questions relating to the welfare of the people at large, but not all. Any condition that affects all the people for good or for evil is a matter that should be largely under the control of the government. The eighteenth amendment is one intended to eliminate an unquestioned evil. The failure of this amendment may be because of the plan. It may not be the best plan. However, a second best plan, if energetically enforced, will be more effective than the best plan lacking support. There are thousands of law enforcement officers who are traitors to the causes for which they were elected and paid. This includes Governors, mayors, and others. There are Governors who favor repeal or control by states, although all have sworn to support the Constitution. This attitude is allied closely to treason. Local option, in either large or small units, has been and always will be a failure. Put good and rotten apples together in a barrell and the rotten apples, by contact, contaminate all the good ones. The wet states invariably are bad, troublesome neighbors of the dry states. The eighteen amendment may not be completely enforcible. Neither are the laws against murder, swindling, rape, etc. Well, that being the case why not repeal them, too, and give the people freedom to do as they please, regardless of their relations to their neighbors and fellow man? You know that there are many fathers, mothers, wives, brothers,

BISMARCK’S BIRTH April 1

ON April 1, 1815, Karl Otto Eduard Leopold von BismarckSchonhausen, German statesman an a the creator of German unity, was born at Schonhausen. After university training and army experience, Bismarck began his diplomatic career in 1851, when he was appointed Prussian member of the Germanic diet at Frankfort. There he showed the zeal for the interests of Prussia that guided him thereafter. He was the guiding spirit in the reorganization of Germany under the leadership of Prussia and he logically became chancellor in 1867. During the Franco-Prussian war, which he helped to bring on by falsifying a telegram, Bismarck was spokesman for Germany. He dictated terms of peace to France which included the cession of Alsace aDd Lorraine to Germany. The sole aim of Bismarck’s policy, domestic and foreign, was to consolidate the empire by stabilizing its institutions and by making it secure, through alliances and political combinations, from attack by rtfcbwr nnt.lnnt.

result in complete removal of the stones. Indeed, it is customery in such cases, because of the fact that the stones tend to form rapidly, to remove the gallbladder entirely. A person can do without a gallbladder, since it apparently acts merely as a storage place for extra bile and when it is removed, the bile goes directly from the liver to the intestines. Tumors in the liver or tumors in the region of the bile ducts may cause pressure upon them or close them off in such manner as to prevent a discharge of bile into the intestines. Jaundice also occurs in cases of this kind. (CoDVricht. 1931. by The Christy Walsh Syndicate and The Times)

SCIENCE

BY DAVID DIETZ

The Machine Age Is an Age of By-Products, of Which Alcohol Is a Striking Example. 'TT'HE Chicago packing house that once boasted it made use of every part of the pig but its squeal set the slogan of the machine age. The elimination of waste in manufacturing processes is one of its chief aims. The machine age is any age of byproducts. A good sample o' that is the manufacture of alcoho.. Alcohol is a chief topic of conversation in these days of prohibition and the natural affinity of certain alcoholic products and ginger ale too well known to need comment But it is probably not known that the manufacture of carbonated waters really i sone of the by-products of the manufacture of alcohol. Os course the reader must remember that ethyl alcoho] finds its greatest consumption in industry, not whoopee parties. Only sulphuric acid and caustic soda surpass it in number and variety of industrial uses. Ethyl alcohol is made from the fermentation of sugars. Its chief source is sugar cane molasses. Corn is the second most important source in America. Sugar beets are used for the manufacture of alcohol in France, while potatoes are used in Germany. tt a a From Cuba MOLASSES from the sugar mills of Cuba is brought to the United States in tank steamers similar to oil tankers. It then is transferred to storage tanks. In the alcohol plant, the molasses is diluted with water, to which a little acid has been added. Purified yeast which has been grown under conditions to eliminate contamination by bacteria is then added. The yeast causes the fermentation which changes the molasses into alcohol. During this process, carbon dioxide is released. This carbon dioxide is not permitted to go to waste, however. It is collected, purified and stored in cylinders under pressure. It is then used for the manufacture of carbonated waters and for operation of soda fountains. This carbon dioxide also finds another important use. Biscuits and cookies manufactured in this country for shipment abroad are packed in airtight tin cans. To insure further the safekeeping of the products, the free spaces within the cans are filled with carbon dioxide. The fermented mash, which remains after the yeast has done its work and the carbon dioxide has been removed, then is put into a still and the alcohol distilled from it. The residue left in the stills is a thick syrup. This then is burned in a furnace. The resulting ash contains about 35 per cent potash and as a result has a ready sale as a fertilizer. Fusel Oil IN the refining of the alcohol, certain impurities are drawn off. These are of great interest to the chemist because of their special properties. One group of impurities contains the so-called higher-boiling alcohols. These include propyl alcohol, butyl alcohol and amyl alcohol. Amyl alcohol is better known by the name of fusel oil. It is a valuable substance to industry, finding many uses in the making of lacquers, films and plastics. The production of fusel oil in the United States is not sufficient to meet the demand and chemists in many laboratories are working upon the problem cf obtaining it as a direct product instead of merely as a by-product in the manufacture of ethyl alcohol. So far, however, they have had little success. The fusel oil does nt seem to be a direct product of the fermentation caused by the yeast, but an indirect one, in which certain nitrogen compounds used as food for the yeast enter. Butyl alcohol, another one of the Impurities already mentioned, finds an important use in the manufacture of artificial musk, an Ingredient of some of the finest and most expensive perfumes.
