Woodrow Wilson Today citizens will gather in many cities to pay tribute to the memory of Woodrow Wilson on the anniversary of his birth. They will recall the days of war when he lifted the torch of idealism before the world and in tragic hours men thought In terms of peace, good will, and human brotherhood. Orators will tell again the story of his brave fights against intrenched power and his unswerving fidelity to justice for the common man. The procession of Presidents since his retirement from the White House has served to throw into stronger contrast the finer accomplishments of his administration and the finer quality of his character. Time also emphasizes the imperative need for solutions to the problems which he bravely faced. There is still war between nations. His dream of a League of Nations was shattered. What might have happened in the past decade had this country answered his call for an organized machine for peace to replace competitive machines for war? The answer to the encroachment of greed has not yet been given. But his courageous challenge to the rights of money above the rights of men rings clear today and finds an ever-growing echo in the hearts of men. History has not yet written its final estimate of Woodrow Wilson. But each year takes away a little of the hate which he Invited, adds a little to the love which he inspired. Born a Slave Hidden away in the list of deaths today you will find the name of John Crittenden Hambleton. Beyond the suggestion that there is a linking of two of the old names of southland aristocracy, the fact will mean little to you. The name begins to take on significance when you know that the man who is now dead was born in human slavery and that the name he bore all through life is that of a man who owned him because he had owned his mother. When, eighty-four years ago, a black mother just looked into his baby eyes she had no greater hope than that this babe of hers might have all its lifetime a kind and generous owner. Freedom and liberty for black babies was not then within her imagination. Asa boy he took the name of his owner—aristocrats who had journeyed from England. His first name came from a family that gave Governors to states. He was a slave, but because he was smiling, efficient and courteous, he was taken into the home and in later years recalled with pride that he ate the same kind of food as was given to the sons of his owner. Freedom came after a great conflict and the boy slave became a free man, free to determine his own course and guide his own destiny. The soul that was cramped in slavery expanded under the new glow of liberty. He had the friendship of the race by which he was once owned. He had the respect of men of his own race who will carry him back to the place of his birth to bury him with honor. All those changes have come within the lifetime of a man. Slavery to freedom, chattel to human being. Today mothers, white and black, crooning over cradles may dream of the time when their babes will always live under kindly skies, will always have good jobs from those who own jobs instead of men. They may hope, as that black mother hoped only eighty years ago of a time when there will be safety and security. Perhaps if they read the story of this man whose skin was black, they will know that times do change, and always for the better. Today’s slavery is beyond our imagination. The mind of present generations can not understand it. Poverty may also one day become a word as meaningless.

Chain Stores Apparently chain stores do not have the concentrated power over food and other essential products commonly supposed. The federal trade commission, studying these organizations or. orders from the senate, finds that only 7 per cent of the goods sold by chains is manufactured by them. Ninety-two per cent of the chains buy from manufacturers, and 70 per cent of the aggregate purchases of all chains come from this source. In addition, chains buy 7.9 per cent of their goods from wholesalers, 7.3 per cent from brokers and commission men, and 7 per cent from growers’ organizations. There has been a marked decrease in recent years, however, in the amount of merchandise bought from wholesalers, and a corresponding increase in the amount bought direct from manufacturers. The commission finds that chains show larger gross profits on sales when buying direct from manufacturers. This seem to indicate that the tendency will continue, except perhaps in regard to food chains, where the necessity of buying perishable supplies quickly has caused a great deal of buying from brokers and wholesalers. There is little in the reports, so far submitted, on which to base a decision whether the chains are economically desirable or undesirable. Indeed, a striking feature of the record is the diversity of customs among chains of different kinds. This makes generalizations unsafe. One thing is certain—the picture will not be complete until the commission has obtained information from Armour & Cos., Swift & Cos., Cudahy Packing Company and Libby-McNeil & Libby, which so far have refused to furnish information on the volume of business in specified commodities moving through chain and independent distributing channels. There is more and more public realization born of the depression, that in coping with economic problems the government should have all the facte necessary on which to base decisions. An Expert Is Needed I. M. Ornbum of New Haven, the President’s nominee as Democratic member of the tariff commission, appears to be outstanding in three respects. He is president of the Cigar Makers International Union. He is secretary-treasurer of Matthew Woll's “labor national committee for modification of the Volstead act,” organized for 2.75 per cent beer. He is a high tariff man, and as secretary-treasurer of Matthew Woll’s “American Wage Earners' Protective Conference” fought for high tariff increases under the Smoot-Hawley act. The making of cigars is a worthy calling, especially 11 they are good cigars. But, obviously, Hoofer does

not consider this skill a qualification for a tariff commissioner. Bringing back of banished beer also is a praiseworthy project. But Hoover objects to such assaults on the noble experiment, and therefore can not consider this a qualification for a tariff commissioner. So Mr. Ornbum’s devotion to Grundyism must be, in the President’s eyes, his qualification for a tariff commissioner. Os course Senators Bingham and Walcott, Representative Tilson and other high protectionists of Connecticut agree. But perhaps the senate; when it comes to pass upon Mr. Ornburn’s nomination, will measure him by other standards. The tariff commission was created as a scientific and judicial body. Its decisions affect consumers to the tune of millions of dollars a year. It has power to aid or retard foreign trade, enrich or impoverish the people. Doubtless Mr. Ornburn is an estimable citizen, but nothing in his public record fits him to serve as a scientific expert on the tariff commission. Not a Best-Seller For $1.65 you may read practically all President : Hoover’s arguments on why Muscle Shoals should be leased in its entirety to some private corporation. Indeed, for your $1.65 you can get a large-sized book of more than 110 pages, bound in red cloth, and illuminated with gold printing. The volume, finely printed on good paper by the government printing office, contains splendid examples of the engravers’ art and maps, graphs and even colored charts. Just published, the book is the formal report of the Hoover Muscle Shoals commission and contains, among other things, figures alleged to show that government operation of Muscle Shoals—the great power plant that belongs to the taxpayers—would create large deficits. These computations may appear to come in very handy for Hoover, and others, who do not want the government to operate Muscle Shoals. But in congress the figures are challenged seriously. Although congress has acted twice to keep Muscle Shoals out of the hands of power interests, there is very little about this in the elaborate report on Hoover’s commission. Hoover himself thwarted congress when It last acted to keep Muscle Shoals for the people who paid for it—and, you may be sure, his whole veto message, with its inconsistencies that were revealed in congress, is printed in full. Apparently the book has been distributed to members of congress—which, at a cost of $1.65 a volume, would represent an outlay of something over SBOO. But despite this free circulation, the Hoover volume is not popular. In 1844 and 1931 Awed was the first long-distance message that clicked over the telegraph wire in 1844, as Dr. Samuel F. B. Morse, its inventor, talked in dots and dashes from Baltimore to Washington, forty miles away. * “What hath God wrought?’’ was his pious dispatch. Bantering was the first long-distance message, just sent via a more awe-inspiring invention, the radio telephone, as Secretary of Interior Wilbur chatted through 5,500 miles of wire and ether with Governor' Judd of Hawaii. Governor Judd: “It’s balmy weather we’re having down here. The temperature was 61 degrees minimum, 73 degrees maximum, and it was 75 yesterday. How’s die weather in Washington?” Secretary Wilbur: “Instead of answering that question, I’ll ask you how many times it rained there yesterday.” Informed that there had been no rain, Wilbur said: “Well, that was an unusual day.” Then followed more pleasantries about dredging appropriations for Honolulu harbor. What a whale of a difference just a few decades make! A Cruiser for Cancer If the cost of one cruiser were turned over to science, it would finance cancer research for a century, says D. Ellice McDonald of the Cancer Research laboratories. More than 100,000 persons die each year in the United States from cancer. To search out the cause and cure of this deadly enemy of the human race is the medical profession’s next big job. Why could not congress vote the dollars it otherwise would spend to crush a hypothetical foe to crush this actual one? Such victory would be worth writing upon history’s pages. Anyway, the bachelor who succeeds in telling his married friends how to get through the sea of matrimony must be some buoy. Headline: Taxpayers Off to See Pinchot.

Just Every Day Sense BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

THE news has filtered out of Cleveland that 85 per cent of the wives of that city are unhappy. And there is a great to-do and much jumping to the conclusion that marriage is no lot for women and that the home is regarded as a great big jail. It’s my opinion that most of the statistics we gather about women are a lot of hooey. Doubtless this Cleveland episode will come in the same category. If we are going to argue that investigations prove wives are unhappy, why not, at the same time, take some statistics about the mental state of the single woman and find out what she is thinking about life and her place in it? The truth is that the present outlook for the spinster is not so good. I imagine the business slump will send many a high hat one scurrying to matrimonial cover. Being independent during a bear market is not what it was in bullish days. aaa WOMEN, too, have a special propensity for discontent. They forever are looking beyond horizons in search of rosy skies. And a good many of them go to their graves without having tasted the full flavor of living, because they spend so much time trying to think up things to be miserable about. Married life may fall far short of feminine imagings of earthly bliss, but it still constitutes the best bet for a woman. It is filled with more possibilities for happiness than any other career, and whenever men ana wemen realize this and determine to make the most of these possibilities we shall not have to take so many statistics. Marriage also is the dream of every girl, regardless of higher education the freedom and whatnot. And there probably never will be any satisfactory substitute for it with us. Therefore, we should thank heaven that, while it is no longer a compulsory state, is yet a possible one.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

M. E. Tracy SAYS:

If We Had Spent Half the ■ Money in Rehabilitating the United States That We Have Spent Vainly in Europe, We’d Bea Lot Better Off. By United Press NEW YORK, Dec. 28.—Senator La Follette of Wisconsin has prepared and introduced a bill authorizing a federal bond issue of $5,~ 500.000,000 or such part thereof as may be necessary to bring about a reasonable degree of economic recovery. The bonds would run for ten years and be retired through an additional 2 per cent surtax on incomes. The money obtained through their sale would be used to finance public works. About 11 per cent of it would be expended directly by the federal government, while 18 per cent would be set aside for loans to states and the remainder as loans to municipalities. st n a Government’s Job AS Senator La Follette points out, the job of providing credit, putting 6,000,000 people back to work and restoring confidence is too big for any agency, except the federal government. Furthermore, if something effective along this line is not done, j and that very quickly, conditions are bound too grow worse, with still 1 lower prices and wages as the natural result. tt it tt Major Readjustment AFTER two years of futile endeavor, it must be clear to every one that our industrial setup is in no condition to relieve unemployment. The problem is not only to find work for millions of idle men and women, but, in most cases, new work. In other words, we are up against a major readjustment in our industrial life and must find temporary work for vast numbers of people until it partially is completed. tt tt tt Investors Want Bonds THERE is widespread opposition to a large federal bond issue because of the feeling that this is no time to borrow, but it should be apparent that the necessary work can not be provided without a huge mobilization of credit from somewhere. Even if private enterprise were in a mood to do so, which it is not, who supposes it could mobilize the requisite credit? We are dealing not only with depressed markets and gloomy prospects, but with a badly frightened public. Smashed stocks, bank failures and defaulted bonds have resulted in a general lack of confidence. Investors from Maine to California would be only too glad of a chance to put their money in federal bonds.

Plan Is Practical SENATOR LA FOLLETTE’S bill represents no fantastic scheme of recovery by miracle. It is a hard-boiled business proposition in every particular. Such money as states and municipalities might borrow not only would have to be paid back, but with interest. The work for which it might be expended would be subject to the approval of a specially created organization. The bulb of it would go for such improvements as are needed and as would be made within the next decade or so under any circumstances. tt a Heroism or Tragedy IT borders on the heroic to suggest adding five and one-half billion dollars to the public debt, with the government facing a probable deficit of four billion next June, but it borders on the tragic to think what may happen if some such method is not adopted. We have looked to the rest of the world long enough. The theory of trying to help ourselves by first helping others has not worked. If we had spent one-half the money in rehabilitating the United States that we have spent in vain efforts to rehabilitate Europe, we would be a lot better off. The fact that we made a bad move In this respect does not mean that we lack the ability, or cash, to begin all over again and put our own house in order. Let us forget the war debts, foreign trade and the tariff for a while and see what we can do through a little concentration on home problems.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE Milk Spreads Epidemic Sore Throat

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hvgeia. the Health Magazine. EPIDEMIC sore throat usually occurs in explosive outbreaks and is spread chiefly by milk. It must be differentiated from certain other types of infection of the throat by streptococci, which may occur almost any time because of the widespread distribution of the various forms of strepococci among people generally. There is, for instance, in scarlatina a sore throat which is due to invasion of the throat by the streptococci associated with scarlet fever in cases in which the rash of scarlet fever does not develop. There is also a type of sore throat and tonsillitis which can be shown to be due to the strepococci, but which is not epidemic in form. Any time that the throat is invaded by these virulent germs and the body is unable to throw them off, there occurs inflammation of the throat, the tonsils and the neck

IT SEEMS TO ME "™>

AS I write this, a fog more dismal than any I have seen in years is scrunching down around the towers of the town, and that may account for my all-gone feeling. But it could depend on something deeper. In the summer of 1908 I leaped like an antelope toward the nearest typewriter to set down my first piece of newspaper copy. It consisted of a paragraph concerning Francis Wilson as a golfer, and it appeared next day in the Morning Telegraph at the head of a column called Beau Broadway. Naturally I waited up for the returns, and long before daylight I seized six copies fresh from the presses and bore them home in triumph. Instead of counting sheep I lay in bed and read the item over and over again. It seemed to me that in the second paragraph I should have made the opening sentence * just a bit shorter. Aside from that, the little masterpiece was perfect. a a a Rewards of Honest Toil AND before I went to sleep I found a tape measure and computed my earnings. I was to be paid by space at the rate of $4 a column, and counting in the last half inch I figured that my first day’s toil in the vineyards of literature had netted me 90 cents. Yet it was not the money so much which thrilled me as the prestige and the glory. More than twenty-three years have elapsed before the next scene begins. The hero, or more precisely the protagonist/, no longer moves toward his machine in any manner resembling the antelope. More like the plowman’s ox he treads his weary way and curses as he adjusts the carbon paper. Naturally he smokes three cigarets, takes a drink of water, and sharpens two pencils before he starts off boldly with “It Seems to Me—By Heywood Broun.” That part of the task is always easy. Beyond this familiar signpost lies the fog which by now has penetrated the room and seeped into the fiber of the stoutish young man w r ho gazes bleakly at the keys and says to himself, “What on earth shall I write about for tomorrow?” And since the predicament is present and autobiographical, I maintain that I have good reason to make such an inquiry. The various columns milled out since that first paragraph in 1908 have not gone round the world. But they could have done so if laid end to end. Os course, some slightly reminiscent ones would, in all fairness, lie parallel to one another. a a a Captain Flagg Recalled I HAVE commented upon rum, rebellion and religion.

with fever, prostration, and all of the other symptoms that usually accompany infection. At such times an examination of the throat will reveal to the trained observer the redness and swelling typical of inflammation. At the same time if specimens are taken from the throat, the causative germs will be found They can be raised on bacteriologic culture mediums. This disease usually is spread from one person to another, except so far as concerns the epidemic form. In the epidemic form it usually is found that the germs are being transferred through milk, that the milk comes from certain dairies, that the dairy is obtaining the milk from a herd in which there are cows with infected udders, and that these cows are being milked by a milker with steptococci of the same type in his throat. The disease begins promptly and usually follows a rapid course. Most of the epidemics of septic sore throat have occurred in the spring

Answers

Can gasoline or similar substances be used to clean stains from rubber without harming it? Water and mild soap are generally all that is needed to clean rubber. Gasoline swells and deteriorates rubber on prolonged contact, but there is no objection to wiping the surface of a rubber article with a cloth moistened in gasoline to re-’ move an obstinate stain, provided this is done quickly and the solvent is allowed to evaporate at once. Does the law prohibit selling horse meat for human consumption in the United States? A war-time measure prohibits the sale of horse meat for human consumption. The act provides for the inspection of horse meat butchered in this country for domestic and foreign use. For domestic use it is sold as food for dogs, cats, zoos and for fur-bearing animals on farms It is exported to some foreign countries for human consumption. When did Japan adopt the gold standard? The present monetary system of Japan by which the country went on the gold standard was adopted in October, 1897. Gold payment was suspended by an embargo on the export of gold in 1917, and a return to the gold standard was not accomplished until 1929, when the embargo was lifted.

or in the early summer, although of course, they may occur at any time. Obviously the control of epidemic septic sore throat involves the tracing of the source of infection and the elimination of the source. In general, the only advice that can be given relative to the avoiding of septic sore throat is proper examination of the throat by a competent physician who will recommend removal of the tonsils or of lymphoid masses in case there is frequent infection. The routine gargling of antiseptics is not apparently particularly helpful in preventing infection. It may be of aid in eliminating infection once such a condition exists. No doubt, if an antiseptic could be kept constantly on the tonsils, germs would find it difficult to lodge there and to remain. The gargle merely cleans the throat temporarily, and the person may take in a full dose of live streptococci just as soon as he gets into conta'ct with other people.

SCIENCE BY DAVID DIETZ

Dr. Henry Fairfield Osborn Puts Forth New Concept iif Evolution, Calling It “ Creational” and Biomechanical. DURING the last few years Dr. Henry Fairfield Osborn, president of the American Museum of Natural History, has raised a series of storms in the biological world. Dr. Osborn caused the first storm when he insisted that evolutionists had not assigned a sufficiently old age to mankind. He expressed the opinion that present-day man was preceded by a “dawn man," who was several million years old. Next. Dr. Osborn came forward with the claim that the Piltdown man was older than the Java apeman. The Piltdown man, as scientists have named the fragments of skull and other bones found at Piltdown, England, has been considered a very early type of man. and the Java relics, found at Trniil, Java, have been considered a sort of “missing link,” very much older than the Piltdown man. But Dr. Osborn, basing his belief on the evidence of elephant teeth found in association with these other fossils, says that the order must be reversed. Now. Dr. Osborn comes forward with what he calls ‘ anew concept of evolution.” This is based very largely on studies of the elephant and his ancestors, the so-called proboscideans. tt a tt Six Concepts DR. OSBORN calls his new concept one of “creational evolution.” He adds, however, that this is not a return to older views upon the subject. “The new concept of evolution,” he says, “is not to be confused for a moment with the pre-observa-tional entelechy of Aristotle, the vitalism of Driesch, the ‘evolution creatice’ of Bergson, the emergence of Lloyd-Morgan, the ‘holism’ of Smuts, or any other of the agelong ‘internal perfecting’ hypotheses, which are more or less metaphysical anticipations of the order of nature. “It is, on the contrary, purely inductive or post-observational. “The new concept is based on thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of observations on invertebrate and vertebrate fossils.” Dr. Osborn also calls his new theory a “biomechanical evolution.” H* says it is based upon six concepts, which he defines as follows: “1. Uniformitarian rather than cataclysmal. The uniformity of organic evolution proceeds with the uniformity of the physical and chemical environment. “2. Centrifugal rather than centripetal. No characters arise except from latent potentialities in the germ. “3. Creational rather than variational. Paleontology adds something far more important, namely, the adaptive origins of new characters from the germ for which the only term in our language at present is ‘creational.’ ‘ Paleontology strengthens the conclusions independently reached by zoologists that Darwin, from lack of evidence in his time, overstressed the principle of variation. “Paleontology, moreover, demonstrates that variation of kind is temporary and fugitive, although plus and minus variation of degree is very important under selection.” n tt tt New Terms Advanced DR. OSBORN continues the list of the six concepts as follows: “4. Reactional rather than eni telechistic. This creational process i is, however, not wholly spontaneous, independent or emergent except perhaps in the evolution of the mind. “The latent biomechanical powers of the germ are only evoked In the process of adaptive reaction either in the course of individual development or as a secular or age-long process. “5. Anti-energistic rather than syn-energistic. Life tends to borrow energy in order to resist energy —this is the distinctive feature of all living mechanisms—the root of the Idea of the struggle for existence. “6. Evolution is prot-empirical rather than meta-empirical. Many of the biomechanical organs evolve in the geneplasm before there is any actual need for them rather than after the need for them arises. “This is in opposition to the main thesis of Lamarck and of Herbert Spencer. Spencer believed that mind was built up through experience, but observed facts prove otherwise. “We have found that much larger intelligence exists among primitive people than there is any actual need for, intelligence capable of grasping mathematical concepts among Eskimos who had no need even to count on their fingers.”
