The Third Party Threat Politicians insist upon calling the presence of a third party in the next election in Indiana a threat. To them it means that a large vote might disturb their calculations as to the number of those who would vote straight tickets. Third parties become threats in exact proportion to their appeal to independent voters and a lack of appeal to the independent voter by the regular political platforms. At the present time, one Indiana insurgent Is promising relief from the high utility rates and the control of the public service commission by the Utilities. That, so believe the politicians, might attract a large enough number of votes to defeat one or the other of the old parties. Os course, the obvious way of avoiding such a disaster would be to find a candidate for the regular parties who would promise the same thing. Tl\is particular "threat” also declares against prohibition and the Indiana dry law. That contrast to the usual regular stand of contributing to the Anti-Saloon League with one hand and distributing sympathetic words to wets with the other might prove serious. Just why any candidate for Governor, senator or congressman should avoid taking a positive stand on these two important matters can not be explained to the voters. There are other grave questions this year which must be answered by candidates for office if they do not desire to see the third party threat become a real menace to their hopes. The matter of unemployment is one of these. The attitude toward federal aid will be important. Men who have been out of jobs for months are quite likely to forget their usual political traditions if someone offers them hope. They will see no threat in third parties If they approach the polls and discover both * the old. parties avoiding these major proposals for social Justice. The best way to prevent third party growth is to get in line with public thought and public demands on party platforms. The sure way to invite them is to pussyfoot on utilities, dodge on prohibition and duck on unemployment. Aiding the Needy This city owes a debt of real gratitude to those city officials who have carried on a very extensive work of relieving distress in these distressing times. Today and every day, literally thousands who would otherwise be hungry receive food from the commissaries that are supported, for the most part, by a fixed percentage of wages and salaries of all public employes. The food is prepared with little cost. It is wholesome. It is, more importantly, very much needed. Now there is need of clothing and much has been donated. More can be used. The recipients of this clothing are not troubled with having to choose which suit of clothes, which overcoat, which pair of shoes, which dress will be worn today. They need any suit, dress or pair of shoes. If you have two suits, this is the time to share. You can get in touch with this movement by calling the office of Chief of Bolice Morrissey. This service corresponds to the first aid hospitals of war. That means help without delay.

Over the Week-End This week-end has ushered in a series of political and economic events, national and international, which will have far-reaching results in the coming months. These include: The Smith-Dawes upset of Roosevelt and Hoover election plans; prospective enactment of the economic rehabilitation bill, of wheat relief to the unemployed, of tariff bill abolishing presidential powers over flexible rate changes, and a bill to abolish lame duck sessions of congress; publication of the secret Wickersham report on the unfair Mooney trial and renewal of the drive for release of the victim from prison; transfer of young Theodore Roosevelt from Porto Rico to be governor-general of the Philippines, coincident with independence demands from the islands and from American farm organizations; Germany’s virtual repudiation of reparations and France’s interpretation of this as attempted destruction of the Versailles treaty; rumors that Great Britain and France will repudiate American war debts; Japan’s apparent decision to continue her aggression against China in defiance of the American note, and the British and French decision not to support the United States with similar notes to Japan. Although many of these week-end events are without definite connection, some are related. In general, they reflect the drift toward a crisis in international affairs and a counter American reaction toward increasing isolationist sentiment and concentration on domestic troubles and politics. Dawes’ denial that his resignation as a diplomat opens the door for him as a candidate to challenge the renomination of Hoover has not convinced the politicians. They discounted his denial in advance. In private conversation, virtually all of them say Dawes is a potential candidate against Hoover. We can not understand why he chose to embarrass the President by this resignation at this particular moment. Why did he not follow the customary course of permitting the President to announce the resignation, rather than spring it as an apparant surprise on the White House and state department? If this is not a sudden decision to cut loose from his political commitments to Hoover, why did he accept the appointment as chairman of the American arms delegation to Geneva just a few weeks ago, and why does he now' jeopardize the success of the American delegation to the Geneva conference by such an announcement? Whatever Dawes’ intentions, the fact remains that he was the chief presidential candidate of certain New York banking interests four years ago and that this winter his name has been used in efforts to bluff Hoover into withdrawing, on threat of withholding campaign contributions. It is also a fact that Republican politicians, almost without exception, think that Hoover can not win, and have discussed ways to break the renomination tradition. For our part, we do not know that Dawes would make a better President than Hoover; indeed, we doubt it. But we would like to see broken the vicious political tradition that renomination must be accorded a President automatically and regardless of his record. That tradition is a violation of representative government. The presidential nomination is too big a thing to go to any man by default. All the speeches at the Washington Jackson day dinner, opening the Democratic campaign, reflected the swing of public interest from foreign to domestic affairs. The criticism of the Republican re.ord was

almost exclusively on domestic grounds. And the appeal for reform was pointed chiefly at domestic issues. A1 Smith’s unexpected subordination of prohibition to unemployment relief, as the supreme issue of the moment, undoubtedly has increased his already great Influence with the Democratic rank and file. It has put him in a better position to fight for the presidential nomination for himself, or for some one of his choosing to stop Roosevelt. By taking the liberal side of the federal relief dispute, which is dividing both parties, Smith has put the administration ill a worse hole and started a fire which may smoke out Roosevelt and other candidates on this issue. • * * The statement by Chancellor Bruening that Germany will be unable to continue reparation payments leads toward the final step of repudiation, foreshadowed by the impossible economic terms of the vindictive treaty of Versailles. The attempt to make Germany pay for the costs of the war has failed, as economists have long predicted that it must fail. Bruening only is saying in a blunt way w'hat the recent Basle conference of official experts stated in academic terms. All the French protests can not change the fact that Germany has been able to pay out only what she has borrowed from abroad, and can pay no longer, because her borrowing power is exhausted. Such an obvious economic truth, however, can not be swallowed easily by some French and British politicians and their propaganda-fed supporters. Some of these will misuse this as new evidence of German villainy and anew excuse for refusing to limit armaments. If there was any chance of a successful disarmament conference or an intelligent reparations debt settlement, that chance now is almost gone. In the circumstances, there is danger that this will produce a chauvinistic reaction in the United States of the type recently voiced by Senator Johnson, and that this growth of extreme American nationalism will be carried into the coming presidential campaign. Here is a danger to be fought—along with the depression. Future American peace and prosperity will depend in large part upon having a government capable of intelligent international co-operation.

Fewer Babies The United States, overproduced on most things, is restricting its most important industry—babies. According to the Uniied States department of education, there are today 128,840 fewer babies under 5 in the 1930 census than there were a decade ago. Whereas in 1920 we had 11,573,230 babies under 5, now we have only 11,444,390. In the last forty years the American family has lost one member. •In 1890 the average American fkmily had three youngsters. Scientists are worried. They see America losing its youthful dynamic spirit, becoming a race of oldsters. What with shutting out new blood through immigration restriction on the one hand, and birth control and conquest of old age diseases on the other, we are becoming “old” and stable. “Movements” have started. A fashionable girls’ school in Manhattan has begun a baby-raising course, using live specimens to stimulate mother-love among its freshman girls. Professor Frederick J. Taussig of St. Louis proposes increasing the S4OO federal income tax exemption for each child. Soon we may expect another Rooseveltian campaign for bigger American families. But why worry? When we have created a system that will make families secure, jobs steady and remunerative, and childhood universally happy, we will begin having more children. The first task is to care for the babies we have. In that we have a long way to go. Experts say we must either adjust or revise our war debts. Probably meaning we’ve got to fix it up some way so we know we aren’t going to get our money. A Yale professor says even microscopic germs have fleas. Now all the scientists have to do is find some way to increase the fleas to keep the germs so busy scratching them off that the germs will not have time to attack humans. The Japanese government learned that several Jap warships had left mysteriously for Manchurian waters. One of these days the Japanese government is going jo find out a lot of its generals are doing something or other over there. It’s evident the nation has decided to gird against the depression. Knowing, of course, that a good girdle supplies support. Just Every Day Sense BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON IN a fantastically conceived tale, “The Coming of the Amazons,” Owen Johnson voices disbelief in women's sense of humor. His hero, resuscitated 250 years in the future, finds the world run by huge females who have forgotten laughter. This idea, far-fetched as it may be, is worthy some feminine cogitation, because it contains an uncomfortable bit of truth. Only occasionally does one find a woman who has a hearty, full-throated laugh. And what a joy she turns out to be! Most of us smirk, grin, giggle or titter hysterically. But we do not laugh. This may be due to the fact that for generations we have been taught we must be ladylike at whatever cost, and boisterous laughter has never been considered good form for women. Shakespeare’s “Merry Wives of Windsor,” who consort with Falstaff, rend their throats with merriment. But then, they were not all ladies. Juliet, Portia, Opnelia, who were, remained modestly quiet and mirthless. n n a SO we assiduously have cultivated the lady and driven out the human being within ourselves. Girls have been handicapped hopeless for any true appreciation of wit or humor, and do not know how to surrender themselves to animal spirits, because of their carefully cultivated fear of vulgarity. Down through the ages our quest for becoming behavior and. tea table manners has resulted in a courting of melancholy. Somehow gravity, megrims, doldrums, sadness, despondency and dejection have become synonymous with feminine culture. Buoyant young tomboys who strived to be blithe always were called down by ovemice mamas who did not think girls should b eboisterous. Thus women have succeeded in making themselves as dull as ditch-water. We have become hypochondriacs, victims of neuroses, wet blankets upon the hearty gayety of men. We brood, mope, sulk, pine. Life is a too serious business unlightened by genuine mirth. We have become ladies, but at what a cost! .

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

M. E. Tracy

Because Debts and Disarmament Have Been Linked Inseparably Nothing Should Be Expected of the Lausanne Conference. NEW YORK, Jan. 10.—Coming so soon after his powwow with Herr Hitler, Chancellor Bruening’s statement that Germany can not pay her private debts and reparations at the same time is doubly significant. Evidently, he and the German government have accepted the Nationalist party’s viewpoint. There can be little doubt that Germany intends to move for a complete cancellation of reparations. It is a foregone conclusion that the allies never would agree to this, or anything like it, without first attempting to gain some remission of their debts to the United States. The stand of congress puts any remission out of the question, unless European countries offer genuine disarmament, and perhaps not even then. * an Debts, Arms Linked THE German move accomplishes nothing so distinctly as to link debt and disarmament. For this reason nothing should be expected of the Lausanne conference which has been called to consider debts. No matter what may be done at that meeting, the larger and allimportant question is bound to go over to the Geneva conference on disarmament, which will meet in February. That statesmen are preparing for just such an eventuality is indicated by the fact that every government on earth has been invited to attend the Geneva conference, and by recently issued statements that it might last one year. * u u The Dawes Bombshell MEANWHILE, Charles G. Dawes, who will head the American delegation to Geneva, throws something of a bombshell into American politics, especially the Republican end of it, by suddenly resigning as amabassador to Great Brtiain. The boys can not quite figure out whether he is tired of so much footwork and so little headwork. Whether he has been stung by the presidential bee, or whether he is sore about something, or whether he really wants to come back and run the Chicago world’s fair. With her school teachers unpaid for half a year, her tax rolls for 1928 and 1929 declared invalid, her treasury empty and her credit gone, Chicago displays optimism in attempting to put on a world’s fair. She also displays optimism in promising the Democratic party $200,000 for its convention. The unpaid school teachers, policemen and firemen doubtless will take heart. ft ft tt Smothering Issues CHICAGO gets the convention, anyway, and that, too, in spite of the fact that Atlantic City offered the same amount. For purposes of party harmony it is said that her central location determined the issue, but there are those who believe she owes much more to the friends of Governor Roosevelt, who don’t want their candidate burdened with the idea that his support comes largely from the east and that his strength is derived from eastern influence. Politicians have a most curious method of appraising public appeal. To hear them talk, one actuallly would suppose that the place where a party convention was held had a vital bearing on the result of a presidential election. If it does, wouldn't we be wise to scrap democracy, or, at all events, cease talking about any important issue? Asa matter of fact, we have come pretty near doing that with regard to some important issues, such as prohibition, for instance. Though Messrs. Smith and Cox made some ringing and well-applauded denunciations of prohibition, it quietly was referred to the resolutions committee of the convention by the national committee. Doubtless it will be referred to the convention by the resolutions committee, and to the people by the convention in such a way, however, that nobody will get a chance to vote on it. n n u Smith Vs, Hoover WHILE the Jackson day dinner developed into the usual “elephant roast,” with a plentiful amount of gloomy retrospection for the Republicans, and an equally plentiful amount of optimistic predictions for the Democrats, former Governor Smith was the only speaker who offered anything like definite or constructive suggestions. With the usual Smith candor, he came out for a big federal bond issue to provide work, start the wheels of industry moving, and restore confidence. In this respect, he is diametrically opposed to Mr. Hoover, who is all for retrenchment and economy, and who has declared that “we can not squander ourselves into prosperity.” No more we can, but neither can we pinch ourselves into it by reducing salaries and adding to unemployment through the discharge of public employes. President Hoover is advising the goverment to do the very thing which he called upon industry not to do one year ago, but which industry found itself compelled to do, in spite of his advice, because it lacked the necessary credit. Is a person born in the United States of Italian parents a citizen of the United States or of Italy? That person is a citizen of both the United States and Italy. He is a citizen of Italy by right of blood, and a citizen of the United States by right of place of birth. As the existing law of Italy adheres to the doctrine of inalienable allegiance, his Italian nationality is inalienable and attaches to him throughout his life. He will, however, be recognized as an American citizen in the United States and all foreign countries except Italy. What airplaHe made the first trip across the Atlantic ocean?

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE Care With Rabbits Prevents Disease

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medicai Association and of Ilvseia. the Health Magazine. NOT long ago medical magazines began recording cases of infection of human beings who had come in contact with wild rabbits. Usually the person was a market worker or a cook, who had skinned a wild rabbit preparatory to cooking and serving it, and who had developed a sore on the finger quite soon thereafter. Investigations since that time have revealed that an organism called the bacterium tularense is conveyed to the human being by the bites of infected flies and ticks, and by inoculation through handling infected animals, as in skinning, dressing or doing postmortem examinations on them.

IT SEEMS TO ME by ™od

“'T'HANK God!” so the phrase X goes, “I have a sense of humor.” This I never have included in any prayer acknowledging divine favors. It were better to have a millstone hung around the neck. Humor is the coward’s livery, and there is great wisdom in the popular challenge, “Laugh that off!” For generally we laugh at the things which we are afraid *to face and fight. If the story of Peter in the high priest’s house were more detailed, we should probably find that some funny remark accompanied his denial of associating with Christ. Peter made a joke of the charge, and there was superb irony in the crowing of the cock, for that sound came hard on the heels of the apostate’s cackle. Hell is paved not with good intentions, but with wisecracks. None of the vital men and women who ever have lived could see a joke. They were too intent upon the sight of things at which one can not and should not smile. tt n n Too Much Laughter HUMOR is grit in the evolutionary process. “Does it matter?” is the underlying mood in almost every expression of humor. And, of course, it does matter. “Oh, he takes himself too seriously,” is the standardized reproach set up to tangle the feet of all marching men. The heart’s breath, which is needed to keep on going when the taste of blood is in the mouth, easily can be dissipated in a laugh. Os course, there are situations in which humor eases tension. People can and do forget their troubles when the clowns perform. But I can’t see that this is signal service. Troubles are not solved by the simple process of forgetting them. I’ve never seen one laid except by those who had the nerve to keep on boring in and- swinging, and the man said to be worth while who can smile when everything goes dead wrong is a quitter just about ready to heave in a sponge and make a jest of all his tribulations. It is possible to name one or two great ones of the world who employed humor, but I think it may still be maintained that they used it without actually having it. Lincoln told stories to political audiences and even to the members of his cabinet, but I think it would | be excessive to think of him as a humorous man, and certainly most of the fun of Mark Twain was wholly alien tp his underlying spirit. „n an There’s Atrophy Somewhere WHEN the sense of humor is very strongly developed something else must be atrophied. People who laugh a great deal are not truly quick, but unimaginative. No man who uses his eyes to observe all the things which he within his range of vision can possibly avoid! the conclusion, “What is there to ! laugh at?” Instead of a national laugh week there ought to be an annual period set aside to be known as “Keep-Off-That-Silly-Grin Month.” Os course, this is too sweeping. I should and probably will come back to note exceptions. Obviously, the sort of wit Mthich bites your hand

A few rare cases have occurred in which human beings have been infected from the bites of coyotes, skunks and hogs which had become infected presumably from eating the infected flesh of rabbits 6r squirrels. Not only, however, have squirrels and rabbits been found as conveyors of this condition, but also muskrats, opossums and water rats. From one to ten days after having come in contact with the infected meat or having been bitten, an ulcer develops at the infected spot; the lymph glands swell and break down. It has been shown that refrigerated rabbits may remain infective for three months but not for four months.

off. does not belong in the class of merriment which dissipates fighting energy. The matter has been mentioned before, but since nothing has been done about it, I want to urge again a short but annual course in Questions and Answers What proportion of the total population of the United States is foreign born? The total population of the United States in 1930 was 122,775,046 and of this number 13,366,407 or 10.9 per cent were foreign born. How did the army worm get its name? Because its larvae occasionally appear in vast numbers and march over a country, destroying young grain and other vegetation. In what recent years did the most deaths from football occur? Records are incomplete for some years, but from those that are available, it appears that 1925, when twenty persons were killed, was the most tragic year.

PROLONG ARMISTICE January 11. ON Jan. 11, 1918, the armistice between the Bolshevist government and the Central Powers was extended to Feb. 12, having been scheduled to end Jan. 12. This action was effected at the Brest-Litovsk conference. Leon Trotski, head of the Russian delegation, had adjourned conferences for one day, and returning on Jan. 11, agreed to the extension of the armistice. Trotski made a long statement, waiving the demand that the negotiations be resumed at a neutral city. Continuing, he said: “The Russian delegation can not deny, and does not intend to deny, that its country, owing to the policy of the classes until recently in Mwer, has been weakened. “But the world position of a country is not determined by its technical apparatus alone, but also by its inherent possibilities—as, indeed, Germany’s economic strength should not be judged by her present conditions and means of supply.”

Obviously the way to avoid this type of infection is to avoid being bitten by flies or ticks when working in regions where tularemia is frequent, and second to use rubber gloves when engaged in dressing wild rabbits or doing postmortem examinations on infected animals. The meat of the wild rabbit should be most thoroughly cooked before serving and preferably should be refrigerated for three months previous to dressing. There is no special method of taking care of the infection by the bacterium tularense, except to disinfect the discharges from the ulcers and the lymph glands and to avoid contact between such infection and open lesions in other people.

law for all our judges. Few men stay on the bench more than a little while without losing track of the nature and purpose of the job to which they have been assigned. At the end of ten years the avera&e judge has become a composite Sunday school teacher, editorial writer, and Boy Scout leader. He begins to become preoccupied with such matters as whether witnesses use lipstick. Once a week he has to hit on some good resounding Drecept which will look well in a newspaper headline. tt a a He’ll Generalize gY and by he will write an article for the magazines on divorce or juvenile delinquency. On the strength of having sent a few frightened and snivelling boys to the reformatory, many a judge will undertake to stalk dogmatically through the complicated mazes of child psychology. And on divorce he’ll generalize just as quickly. Indeed, not even the most difficult problems will stump him, for his remedy is likely to be inevitable. It’s all because of lack of religious education in the home or school. Some time ago a judge exclaimed to a mature witness who had spoken rather acidly about her mother, “I’ll teach you to respect your parents.” it may have been tasteless tactless, or even downright immoral for the young woman to have indicated a lack of respect for her parent, but it was just about as much the business of the judge as her affiliations with the Republican party would have been. j Having had occasion from tftne to time to look over a number of decisions, I was shocked at the poverty of intellect displayed by the presiding fficers in both state and federal courls. Something should be done to curb those gentlemen on the bench who so conduct their cases as to earn clippings for the scrapbooks which they undoubtedly keep.

SCIENCE BY DAVID DIETZ

Expert Calls on Engineers to Furnish Leadership for World; Says They Will Usher in New Era of Prosperity. ANEW YEAR proclamation calling upon scientists and engineers to take world leadership and save humanity from the mess into which bankers, lawyers, business men and statesmen have pushed it, is contained in a statement issued by Dr. Alf Ted D. Flinn of the Engineering Foundation. Engineers, in the opinion of Dr. Flinn, are confronted by the greatest opportunity ever presented to a ! group of men. Dr. Flinn wants them to take the lead “in establishing the new economic status for all peoples on the j basis of scientifically discovered j laws.” “We have too much legislation.” i Dr. Flinn asserted. “Most of it should be scrapped. We need to know and to understand laws. “Laws exist in nature, and are unmutable. Statutes may be flouted or evaded, but laws can not be evaded. “It is the task of research-minded scientists, engineers, business men and lawyers to discover more of nature s laws, to state them correctly in language which the peoples can understand and then to spread abroad the knowledge of the laws as j they are learned, so that the peoples ' may live happily in obedience to laws, not harried by the ‘thou-shalt-nots’ of legislation." * * * Engineers Create Wealth ENGINEERS are more important than bankers, according to Dr. Flinn, who denounces as a fallacy the notion that “men who grip the money bags, the bankers and the major business executives have more to do about wealth than any other men.” “Although business men do most of the handling of money and other tokens of wealth and perform numerous important additional functions having to do with wealth, engineers perform the basic economic functions in many enterprises for the creation or for the use of wealth,” he says. “The engineer’s determinations of location, of size or capacity, of process or method, of materials for construction, of raw materials for manufacture, of equipment, of personnel; his design, specification, inspection, supervision, from inception of project to marketing of products or services, underlie all the features of the business to which, col- ■ lectively, the terms, economics, | commonly is applied. “In consequence, great arc the economic influence and responsibility of the engineer.” an n Qualities Needed DR. FLYNN calls for anew type of leadership in no uncertain terms. He says: “The world greatly needs leaders of anew type, unfettered by precedents, straightforward in deductions from proven data to desired objectives, honest in determinations, fearless in decisions, courageous and prompt in actions, resourceful in difficult situations, and with all these qualities of manhood, possessing a clear comprehension of this new era into which engineers have so swiftly brought mankind with the collaboration of scientists on one hand and industrialists on the other. “Who other than the keenvisioned, clear-thinking, broadminded men among scientists and the appliers of science through engineering and industry can help their fellow men to understand the scientific, the engineering, the machine age? Who better than they can supply the new element in leadership for which confused humanity is groping? “To engineers is opened now a great opportunity to bring into cooperation with themselves f scientists, the industrialists, the constructive men of all vocations, to develop and to promulgate anew philosophy of life and new procedures based thereon, in keeping with man’s new powers and his nobler conceptions of himself, his environment and his Creator.”
