The Democratic Victory Unless late returns upset Tuesday's election results, the Democrats will control the house of representatives when congress meets next month. Even if the Republicans win the vacant New Jersey seat on Dec 1, they apparently will have at the most 216 votes, or one less than the Democrats in the house. Considering that Fordney of high tariff fame and other Republicans held the Eighth Michigan congresrional district for thirty-three years, the Democratic victory there Tuesday is significant of the national trend away from the Republican party. On the basis of this Michigan result, many political aopesters will see Democratic victory in the presidential election of 1932. But that is premature. For one reason, a year is a long time in politics. . lany elections have been lost which were won a year in advance. If ecenomic conditions improve, Republican chances will improve. for another reason, the Democrats now are going to take over some of the responsibility of power which • o far has resulted so disastrously for the Republicans. Control of the house in the next session is thus as much a liability as a political asset to the Democrats. When the country is in depression, it is much more comfortable for a political party to be in the minority and without responsibility. The Democrats now in *rt must sacrifice that easy position. What will the Democrats do with their new power in the house? They do not know. As yet they have achieved neither unity, nor a definite legislative program. If a Democratic house does no better than a Republican house, the Democrats may be mistaken in thinking today that they already have the 1932 presidential election in the bag. Stunting to Death One of every three persons killed in airplane crashes during the first half of this year was killed while stunting, records compiled by the commerce department show. That figure ought to sober up a few of our “braver” pilots, who think that because they fly airplanes they have to grandstand. It also should start a process of reasoning in the heads of those passengers who demand that the pilot give them a thrill every time they leave the ground. Stunting is all right in its place. Aerial acrobatics ere necessary in military flying. In some forms of test flying acrobatics are essential. It is stunting out of place that kills so many people. The story of thrill-crazy passengers, riding without parachutes in an old plane, and demanding that their pilot “give them the works,” is an old story. It usually ends in the morgue. Passenger planes flying on the scheduled airlines don't do loops and barrel rolls. The thrill seeker finds passenger airliners tame and disappointing. Which is one of the finest compliments an airline could receive. Wheat Goes Up The 20-cent rise in the price of wheat during the last month is perhaps the most cheering development during the depression. It is a real benefit to the farming population, which—with labor—has suflered most during the last two years. Many millions will be added to farm purchasing power. This in turn will help the country generally. It will increase employment in cities. Country storekeepers will replenish their depleted stocks. Railroads will carry stored grain to market and manufactured goods to the farming areas. Country banks which have been carrying farmers unable to pay off notes and mortgages, will be strengthened. Other commodity prices will tend to be stimulated in sympathy with wheat if the rise is maintained. There is much discussion of the causes of the sudden spurt in prices during the last several days. The reported collapse of the Russian wheat export plan, the new Hoover credit liquidation machinery, smaller plantings of winter wheat, feeding grain to stock, the condition ol foreign markets and crops, increased foreign consumption because of lower prices, and v is cMisr factors are credited with influence. Picbablj a combination of all these things r -:*;.:!:enod the belief that wheat had been selling at ' ’ ch lowet Prices than conditions and value wari anted, and this has at last been translated into to ■ ing. Speculators are credited with having had a hand in b ingmg the upturn, and undoubtedly they did. It i?ems a reasonable hope, however, that the change was brought about by something much more real than grain gambling. The largest wheat buying in all history by the farm board, it will be recalled, did not stop the steady downward trend of prices. There no doubt will be market recessions as there always are. and some of the public, which is beginning to invest in grain for the first time in many months probably will be trimmed. That is unfortunate. It is equally unfortunate that the millions in profit that will be made through the price rise can not all go directly into the hands of those who produced the grain—particularly as they have been the victims cl unduly depressed prices. Meantime, there is happiness in the wheat belt. All of us will share in some degree the added prosperity that the farmers will enjoy, if the wheat recovery is more than a partial and artificial movement. Homeless Men Nothing of the gray winter days to come should challenge America's will to help more profoundly than its great and growing army ot unemployed and homeless men. * Like Ishmaels these tens of thousands will wander ;o and fro across the country, hitch-hiking or tramping the ties, huddling in box-cars or risking life and limb on brake beams in the endless search for jobs or charity’s food and shelter. U the past is a criterion, they will be uu4*clcvine,

driven from city to city, forced to make their “homes” in "jungles,” under bridges, on river banks, or in deserted shacks, their lot worse than that of criminals. One Governor, however, says it shall be different in his state. Governor Gifford Pinchot proposes to furnish temporary work and shelter for Pennsylvania's jobless casuals. With $7,000,000 of state road funds, he proposes to build highways this winter and offer jobs and housing in road camps to homeless men of his state. At least they will have work, a small wage, and temporary security. One of the planks in the Pinchot program to be presented to Pennsylvania’s special legislative session, on Nov. 9 is an authorization for new highway work to be financed by an emergency 2-cent gasoline tax. The Gifford committee has announced a program under which it is proposed that local governments, rather than private charity, assume responsibility for these wanderers. The federal government could help by' offering Governors the use of its tremendous stores of army blankets, tents, cots and other equipment for the establishment of state road camps for migratory workers. All the states should follow the Pinchot lead, for it obviously is impossible for one state to act alone. To do nothing about this horde of jobless men is not only un-Christian. It is unsafe. No nation can be secure with a throng of hungry, desperate men at large in its midst.

The Price of Stubbornness Roger Baldwin has returned from Russia with first-hand evidence of how Russia feels about our nonrecognition policy. He had a frank talk with Maxin Litvinoff, commissar of foreign affairs, about the matter. Litvinoff said: “I am at a loss to understand how a country whose foreign trade is shrinking can throw away an increasing business for reasons so negligible as those used against American commerce with Russia.” He contended that purely business considerations were responsible for the transfer of Russian trade to other countries. No such petty policy as politico-eco-nomic retaliation plays any part in the situation, according to Litvinoff. It is nothing but elementary economic realism. A country finds it difficult and unwise to buy from a country which it can not sell goods. Litvinoff attributed the successful American opposition to recognition to three major forces in the United States: (1) business interests competing with Russian products; (2) the Roman Catholic church; and (3) the conservative American unions. He contended that recognition would do two useful things for the United States: (1) it would promote trade with Russia; and (2) it would help stabilize Europe and protect the great American investments abroad. Whether we agree with Litvinoff or not, it is useful to know what the head of Russian foreign affairs thinks about the situation.

The Man From Mars Fiction writers like to picture the amazement on the face of a Man from Mars, should he suddenly be dropped into our somewhat fantastic civilization. Into Seattle the other day such a man actually did drop. He was Captain W. G. Norton, a rugged old sourdough who came out of the northlands of Alaska for the first time in thirty-three years. No Man from Mars could have been more aghast than was this pre-war, pre-Volsteadian, pre-Ford American. He remarked: “Your prohibition and gambling laws are a farce to me. The stock exchange is the biggest gambling institution in the world. Your values are fictitious. Take that lot on the corner. When I was here before, I could have bought it for $100; now it’s worth SIOO,OOO But the labor that made it valuable gets none of it. “Civilization is crooked. It all seems like fiction to me.” It’s too bad that our Martian visitor should have dropped in at such an inopportune moment. He is going back to Alaska. Perhaps when he returns in another thirty-three years things will be a bit more rational here. The duke of York, brother of the prince of Wales, on a recent visit to Paris ordered chicken wings cooked in champagne. Probably felt like fluttering about. Which recalls that it wasn’t so many years ago when real speed was “going like sixty!” Czecho-Slovakia recently celebrated the thirteenth anniversary of its independence. Well, as a nation it now can Czech and double Czech. Trial and error won for Edison. Error and trial put A1 Capone in the hoosegow.

Just Every Day Sense BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

THE most tragic mistake made by the modern young wife is the speed with which she takes off to the divorce court. Nothing much can be said that will divert her from her purpose, and it is probable that she will realize her error only after long and bitter years have passed. But the truth is that the unhappiest women among us are those who divorced in haste and are repenting at leisure. Life, you know, does not arrange itself for the special benefit of any one of us. We may be sure that we shall have to take a few knocks before we die. And, trite as it may sound, it is the taking them on the chin that counts. Thousands of women have left average young husbands while the latter struggled to get a foothold in the world, only to discover ten or fifteen years later that some other woman was enjoying the comforts they rightly should have had. Rightly, that is, if they had had the courage to stick when it was hard to do. a a a IDO not believe we should reduce marriage to a financial proposition entirely. But certainly finance plays an important part in our modern version. And it’s no good being noble and saying that women, once they have reached middle age, do not long for the kind of protection and security that only a husband and a home can provide. The young bride of this generation expects too much of And half the time she doesn’t use ordinary sense in weighing a husband's qualities. She demands, willy nilly, that he shall be generous, noble and devoted iik° her moving picture heroes. And while asking the ultimate perfection from him, she in very unlikely to look at herself with critical eyes. My advice tc her sort is this: It your husband Is just plain every-day average, to him. There are no perfect ones..

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

M. E. Tracy SAYS;

Asa Financial Venture, We are Beginning to Realize What the War Cost, But as a Moral and Intellectual Venture We Never Shall Know. YORK, Nov. 4.—David Lloyd George resigns as leader of the British Liberal party. He had no other choice. There is little of the Liberal party left, and what there is refuses to follow him. He came out of the recent election with but three followers in parliament—his daughter, his son and his son-in-law. It has been suggested that Lloyd George would have accepted leadership of the Labor party, or a coalition formed around its shadowy’ remnant, if he could have done so without joining it, but the Laborites took the position that it was his place to come to them if he wanted their support.

Unsettled the Globe LLOYD GEORGE, Clemenceau, Orlando, Wilson—the four men | who sat around a table only twelve j years ago and remade the map of Europe—future historians will find a subject worthy of deep consideraI tion in what happened to them afterward. Was there something in the atrophying effect of war that unfitted them to cope with the vagaries and violence of post-war evolution? Did the gruelling experience numb their faculties and cloud their perspective? And if the holocaust had that effect on their practiced minds, what about its effect on those of less capacity, but still exposed to the shock? tt tt tt World Shell-Shocked AS a financial venture, we are beginning to realize what the war cost, but as a moral and intellectual venture, we never shall know. We have not arrived at a point where we can measure such disasters in terms of thought, or emotion, yet there is where they work the greatest havoc. Expert psycho-analysis have been able to identify thousands of soldiers as suffering from shell shock, as completely unstrung by the racket and confusion. Asa matter of common sense, the whole world was shell shocked, only we couldn’t afford to admit it. n tt tt Overwrought Nerves THE depression through which we are passing, the radical and revolutionary movements that have plagued humanity since Versailles, the queer fashions and superstitious fads, the jazz and freakish art, and, above all ejse, the ever-increasing spread of fear, bewilderment and discontent speak of nothing so as a case of overwrought nerves. We try to excuse it on the ground that leadership is lacking, but you can't have leadership without something to lead. As Victor Hugo said in his immortal discussion of Waterloo and Wellington, what could the Iron Duke have accomplished, without iron men?

Can't Keep Up Speed Throughout the post-war period, nations have failed to make sufficient allowance for humanity’s weakened condition, for its inability not only to carry the load of debt, but to pursue the killing pace of conflict. All countries tried to keep up the speed, the production, the manner of life, the tense attitude, the strained emotionalism. It couldn’t work, and it didn’t work, as the mild depression of 1921 should have warned us. That, more than anything else, '’counts for the amaznig collapse in business during the last two years. tt tt tt Left Its Mark “I>ACK to Normalcy,” cried Hardl-> ing, but -with only a few superficial in mind. Neither he, nor any of the rest of us, understood what "normalcy” meant, or what the road back to it involved. We have a long way to go yet, long enough for a generation that was not scarred and maimed by the tempest to appear and take charge. People have tried to get away from its baneful influence, but they can’t. They still are fevered with thr heat and turmoil of it all, still fighting the curious diseases it bred, still nauseated by the thought of how little was gained through all the ghastly sacrifices. tt tt a The Cost of the War LIKE his few great associates and a countless multitude of less important people, David Lloyd George falls victim to his war job. He was a masterful politician. He could tell not only what ought to be done, but whether a majority of his countrymen would agree to it. As war premier, he did wonderful work. Since the peace treaty was signed, he has shown an utter incapacity to appraise popular sentiment, much less the appeal of movements and doctrines. He simply has not been the man he was prior to 1915, or even 1918. And the same thing can be said of millions more. That is an item to remember when we calculate the cost of war. What nationality was Madame Patti? Where was she born and how old was she at the time of her death? She was born in Madrid, Spain, in 1843 and died in Craig-y-Nos, VVales„in 1919. She was of ItalianI Spanish descent. Who starred with Charles Farrell in “Street Angel?” Janet Gaynor. What is a bnllbat? A species of night hawk so named on account of the noise it makes while flying. It is distinguished by the white bar across its wings and i its nasal cry. How is the Thames river in England pronounced? “Terns.” In the United States is a person accused of a crime presumed to be innocent until proven guilty?

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE Acidity May Keep Baby From Eating

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine. THIS subject has been discussed repeatedly in this column and is still one of the most widely discussed subjects in periodicals dealihg with children’s diseases. Loss of appetite, capricious appetite, loss of weight, and failure of children to gain weight continue to be the most disturbing conditions that confront specialists in diseases of the children. For this reason, Drs. M. Loeber and H. L. Weinberger of the Tulane university medical school contrih.ute some observations they have made which seem to lend hope in this difficult situation. They decided to make a careful study of the digestion in these cases, examining the contents of the stomach exactly as one would study an

IT SEEMS TO ME by '™ od

MANY years ago, when I first began as a newspaper man, there was a restaurant called Joel’s just opposite the stage door of the New Amsterdam theater. And on the menu of this resort ran the legend “Joel’s is the home of actors, reporters, and artists, the most lovable folk in the world.” After a couple of decades in journalism, I am not quite sure of the truthfulness of this statement as far as it touches my confreres, and my acquaintance with artists is limited. Moreover, in the beginning I felt that the attitude expressed toward actors was probably a shade too romantic and too sentimental. But now I take that back. They are. Naturally, the word “actors’' embraces actresses. In my days as a dramatic critic I did not wholly give myself over to adoration of the stage. At that time I fell under the common confusion which identifies a bad part with a bad actor. At many first nights it was my duty to watch the work of players who did not seem lovable at all as viewed from a sixth-row seat on the aisle. But then I was not of them.

Bleak Rewards of Alien All my life I longed to know theater people on an equal footing. Even when it was possible to find some artist whom I knew the supper party represented the contact between an ardent amateur and one who belonged. Years later I had a chance to appear in a revue, but, unfortunately, it lasted only one week in Newark and ten nights on Broadway. It was my custom to stand outside the door of the dressing room and leer at chorus girls as they passed by. But none leered back. I still was an interloper. “Shoot the Works” changed all that. At the end of eleven weeks I felt as if I actually had been tapped for membership. As far as leering went, no great progress could be scored in my favor. But there was. at least, a general acceptance of the fact that I had become an actor. even though an obscure one. And recently, when the troupe went to Havana on a ten-day cruise, I scored what will always remain in my memory as the greatest triunmh of my life. Walking alone upon the deck at night, I encountered a passenger who was female, middle-aged and middle-western. And as she saw me pass she said: “You're one of the show folks, ain’t you?” Never before have I bowed so low or said “Yes” with such alacrity. In the space of fifteen seconds I felt my amateur status dropping. a a a Speaking of Critics George jean nathan in one of his collections of theatrical essays begins with a piece called “Advice to a Young Critic.” In this he gives much shrewd counsel but one necessary injunction he has forgotten. Mr. Nathan knows and if there is any pity in the man he should end his chapter with “Run for your life!" “The greatest weakness of the average critic," says Mr. Nathan “is his wish to be more than critic.” And, logically enough, he develops the theme that criticism is itse’f an art. In tnfis there is a catch. The function of dramatic criticism is

adult who happened to be suffering with some digestive disturbance. In some of their cases they found the possibility of the presence of ulcers of the stomach; in two cases, the presence of the disturbance of digestion known as spastic constipation, and in twenty-three out of thirty-six patients, changes in the acidity of the gastric juices away from what is considered normal acidity. tt tt In nineteen cases in which failure to gain in weight was the only or chief complaint, there was increased acidity of the gastric juice and in three cases there was lessened acidity. Because of this excess acidity, powders were prescribed which tended toward causing an alkaline reaction. Asa result the children began to gain in weight in most instances,

not worthy to be the entire life work of any talented person. Naturally the name of Shaw comes up as one who has swum against the tide. I hope a single exception will not be considered enough to destroy a dictum, and in any case Shaw has not escaped wholly unscarred from the demons of the pit. He himself has admitted that reviewing ruined his health and brought him near to death. Bufr the stage-struck are incurable, and Shaw came back again as playwright. a tt a Shaw as a Novelist IT may be argued that this was a wise decision. It was as a dramatist that Shaw captured the imagination of the world. But who can say what might have happened if he had gone completely novelist after his first few experiments in the theater? At the moment the tales he wrote are considered of minor importance, but there is every indication that he would have gone on to greatness in the narrative field. And between a great novelist and a great playwright, there is no comparison whatsoever. It is like pitting the violin against the mandolin. tt a tt Keeping One Toe Out MOREOVER, it is well to remember that Shaw never thrust the entire length of his body into the theater. His plays are written to be read as well as performed. He saved his soul with prefaces, and it is quite possible that the introduction to “Androcles and the Lion” will live on when every play

“SOCIETY OF NATIONS” November 4

ON Nov. 4, 1917, first official steps for the formation of a “Society of Nations” were taken by the League of the Rights of Man in Paris. The League of the Rights of Man formally went on record in favor of a “Society of Nations.” Many members of the chamber of deputies were included in the league. On this date also the largest single contract for ships 'was awarded by the Emergency Fleet Corporation. This w r as a contract for seventy vessels of 8,000 tons each to be built within twelve months at a cost of $100,000,000. The contract was awarded to the American International Corporation, operating the fabricating yard at Hog Island, on the Delaware river The American International Corporation previously had a contract for fifty vessels of 7,500 tons each at a cost of $50,000,000. An announcement was made on this date by the United States shipbuilding adjustment board that a uniform minimum wage scale had been adopted for tfte Pacific coast si Upbuilding yards.

and, in general, the responses were uniformly good. Indeed, two mothers reported that after treatment the children's dispositions changed for the better over night. These investigations, while perhaps not conclusive, indicate the importance of a real scientific study both from the mental and the physical side of every case in which a child does not have a normal appetite for food, and as a result, fails to gain properly in weight. There are plenty of records of cases of children who began to eat and to gain in weight following removal of infected tonsils, and of others whose problems were primarily behavior problems. Now there seems to be another group in which the difficulty lies in the secretation of the gastric juice as the chief factor in the eating problem.

of Shaw is dead and otherwise forgotten. The theater has been no more than a convenient medium for Shaw. Certainly if Shaw’s reputation rested on nothing more than two volumes of dramatic reviews he would have become a thin legend in his lifetime. Because of other and more significant achievements, the impression has grown up that these critical essays belong among the world's masterpieces. Let’s settle that by being blunt and saying that the reviews, when reread, now seem things of little consequence. Had Shaw gone on and did he move about the world today as an old dramatic critic, he would be just as tiresome as all the other veteran members of the fraternity. (Copyright. 1931. bv The Times)

SCIENCE —BY DAVID DIETZ

Einstein Adds a Fifth Dinu n sion to the Universe, hui It’s Not as Difficult as Sounds. THE latest report from Germany is that Professor Albert Einstein says the universe has five dimensions. In a statement made public m this country by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation. Einstein states that five j ;mensions are necessary to explain the expansion of the universe. With the aid of five dimensions, he also finds it possible to write a formula which identifies elechomagnetic action and gravitation. Readers who in their younger days toyed with the old attempt to imagine a fourth dimension in space will be more puzzled than ever by this talk of a fifth dimension. They will be surprised, therefore, to hear that there is nothing very startling in Einstein's proposal to add a fifth dimension to the universe. Talk of five, six, and even fourteen dimensions for the universe has been common among relativists and mathematicians for the last few years. For example, in an address a year or so ago. Dr. Irving Langmuir, famous chemist and research experti of the General Electric Company, in discussing new theories of the atom, said that it was possible to regard the atom of helium as a collection of electrons in three-dimen-sional space or as a wave In sixdimensional space.

Hard to Visualize THE reader will lose his terror for multi-dimensional space, if ho once comes to rgeard it in the same spirit that the mathematician does. First of all. he must stop trying to visualize a fourth or fifth dimension of space. The late Charles P. Steinmetz. wizard of the General Electric Company, published a book once in which he included diagrams designed to help the reader visualize a fourth dimension of space. It is agreed generally, however, that you can not visualize a fourth dimension of space. In mathematics, a dimension is merely another co-ordinate, another symbol with which to work. It is not easy to explain mathematics without using mathematical methods. But let us try. Draw a cross on a piece of paper —two intersecting lines which are perpendicular to each other. Now if you put a point anywhere on the paper, you can identify its position as being so far from each of the two intersecting lines. The distances from the two lines arc the two co-ordinates of tire point. Furthermore, it is possible to write mathematical equations to express the position and nature of any line or curve with reference to the two lines. It is possible to do the same thing with three dimensional space. We must now, of course, make use of three co-ordinates. Mathematically, we can do the same thing with four dimensions. It merely means writing equations with four co-ordinates. If you want fourteen dimensions, you use fourteen co-ordinates, although it reqUitC a mathematician to do

No Model Possible A r this point, the reader will ■L A. want to inquire what those mathematical puzzles have to do with reality. 1 . T? e . re fi! y 0f the mathematicians s that these equations, although hey can’t be visualized, come closer to explaining what goes on in the universe than does the common view of the three-dimensional space. This has led such scientists as Sir James Jeans to abandon the old idea of a mechanical universe and for it t 6 a mathcmat >cal universe *Vu he °? and yiew of Lord K and the scientists of his day, God was seen as an engineer. God, in the view of Jeans, is a mathemati, cian. In other words, the point made bv Jeans, Eddington, Langmuir and many others, is that the fundament lw na , tU T e ° f the universe is such JF afc . ifc de fles the making of a me* chanical model. This does not appeal to all set. J'f' Some think that our ina model at the moment is due mainly to our lack ot sufficient knowledge. But others insist that the universe is such that) only mathematical equations can describe it. In concluding this article, let ua ‘^L a . WOrd about the fourth and fifth dimensions of the Einstein theory The fourth dimension is understood easily and quickly i(j is time. Einstein, following Minkowski, adds time to space as st fourth dimension. This gives u s space-time, a four-dimensional continuum. The fifth dimension, therefore, must affect time as well as space, xt concerns itself with the curvature of space-time, and, as already stated, can not be visualized in a mcehanicai* model.
