Utilities in Michigan Public utilities, especially the electric utilities, in Michigan are to be forced to slash their rates in line with the deflation of labor and commodity dbsts. The public service commission of that state has told the utilities that they can ask for voluntary reductions, and that if they fail, there will be arbitrary action. The state takes the viewpoint that no court, under its precedents, can justify the maintenance of prosperity rates in panics. In Indiana, the commission reduced the rates for the city of Marion, but has been suspiciously slow in acting on the seventy other applications for relief. In Indianapolis, the holding company which collects a fortune from the citizens and nearly a half million from the city government, goes into a federal court by proxy to force down the wages of miners of coal in order that it may make more profits. The holding company which owns the electric light company also owns a coal agency. That agency has a contract for coal from a mine at which it is proposed to pay much less than the union scale of wages. Even though no trouble has started at this particular mine, the federal government will stand guard by an injunction against any union activity to disrupt the wage cut. Whatever cut is made in wages of miners will not be passed along to the people of this city in the way of reduced rates for electricity. If there be a bigger profit, it goes into the same pocketbook which receives the profits from the sale of electricity. The people of this city will also keep on paying for the loss on the retail store operated in competition with merchants. They will keep on paying for the losses in the operation of the radio section, also in competition with a private enterprise and used to punish its critics and reward its servants. Possibly these facts about the extortions by utilities may penetrate the consciousness of candidates for Governor and the legislature. They may finally discover that the people are very much interested in these matters. Up to date, Ward B. Hiner is the only one who has approached the subject without a cautious regard for the political power of these interests. That is the reason many people are listening to his appeals and wondering when others may follow. He has no copyright on methods or policies. George B. Lockwood Indiana loses one of its forceful men in politics and journalism in the passing of George B. Lockwood of Muncie. The confidant of Presidents and others of the mighty, he played important roles in the making oi political history. It was his pen which often gave direction to campaign policies. His was the genius of giving emphasis to issues. An ap editor, men might disagree with his conclusions, but none doubted his deep sincerity or his unquestioned power and ability.' He served well, but he served only where conviction carried him. I Death came at a time when the political necessities of his party indicated that he might be called to high honors. The loss is great. Sincere men are all too few. Bank Relief Rightly administered, the proposed bank relief law to increase credit facilities and support sound but embarrassed banks should prove helpful to business. Like any other strong dosage, it could be dangerous if misused. But these are emergency times. And emergencies involve risks. There will be much argument over whether this bill is an inflation measure. Its advocates say no. Its opponents say yes. Apparently both are right. Obviously it is impossible to draw with any precision or general agreement, the imaginary line between what some describe as • anti-deflation” and others call “mild inflation.” Whatever one pleases to call it, the measure would make possible a large increase in federal reserve currency. But—and this is important—it would not permit the gold basis to fall below the customary 40 per cent. The change would not be in that gold base, but in the remaining 60 per cent nongold collateral. In addition to the commercial paper eligible for rediscount by the federal reserve under the present law, the federal reserve board would be allowed during the next twelve months to accept United States government bonds as collateral for currency issue. As Senator Glass, the Democrat chosen by the Republican administration as the author of this biparty measure, points out: “This will enable the federal reserve banks to maintain a desirable volume of what is known as free gold,’ which means gold in excess of the statutory requirement and not including ‘earmarked gold.’ “This simply fortifies the gold status of the federal reserve banks in this period of extraordinary disturbance. It is altogether probable that the federal reserve banks may not find it necessary to make use of this authorization.” He adds: “The bill, as perfected and introduced, is not intended, nor will it be used, for excessive inflation of the currency.” Most persons probably will be inclined to accept the word of Senator Glass as an adequate guarantee of the measure. Glass is not only the father and zealous guardian of the federal reserve, but over a long period has demonstrated an expert knowledge and a freedom from control that inspire public confidence. That, after all, is the chief purpose of this emergency measure—to inspire public confidence in sound banking. The Fairest Tax As various tax-raising schemes are discussed one after the other, and various groups of citizens explain the injustice of a tax falling most heavily on their particular business, the essential equity of income, Inheritance, and gift, taxes becomes recognized more generally. Within the last few days, the National Retail Dry Goods Association has announced itself in favor of raising the government money required by income taxe increases in the higher brackets, by increased Inheritance taxes, and by restoration of the gift tax. The retailers, of course, are fighting the sales tax, which would cause / them much burdensome bookkeeping, and possibly loss of business. But good economic reasons support them in this position, and support likewise the opposition to all special sales taxes except those levied against luxuries. However slowly and reluctantly we may arrive at the conviction that partial redistribution of great fortunes is the only sound method of restoring health to business and to the national life, we arrive there sooner or later, if we think through the problem. r

An Embellished Report There was another presidential commission: The Hoover Muscle Shoals commission. It made a report: A report bound very prettily in red, embellished with gold lettering. The report contained some figures: Figures prepared by Lieutenant-Colonel M. C. Tyler of the army engineers, alleged to show that government operation of Muscle Shoals would be a very costly thing. Then came an answer to this report. Prepared by Judson King of the National Popular Government League, and only mimeographed on plain paper. The report said: “The findings of Colonel Tyler that government operation would create a deficit of 23 million dollars in fifteen years are based upon arbitrary, undocumented assertions of his own, which are proved absurd by previous non-political reports of his fellow engineers.” v More Patrioteering Folly, masking as Americanism, again would impose laws of suppression on the United States. Such a program, carrying out recommendations of the Fish committee, is before congress, backed by profiteering zealots and opposed by liberals. This program would revive the madness of the Mitchell Palmer terror, start a nation-wide hunt for radicals and political heretics, and destroy our constitutional civil liberties. This program would: Strengthen deportation laws, to make deportation of alien Communists easier. Re-establish the notorious spy system of the days of Attorney-General Harry Daugherty and William J. Burns. Bar all alleged Communist literature from the mails. A protest, signed by seventy-three prominent Americans, none of them Reds, has been sent to congress. Its signers inofude Julia Lathrop, former head of the United States children’s bureau; Professor John Dewey of Columbia university; Professor Jerome Davis of Yale divinity school; Dr. Edward T. Devine, author; Dr. Alice Hamilton of Harvard medical school; Francis Fisher Kane, former United States attorney of Pennsylvania; B. M. Huebsch, publisher, and others. ' We hold no brief whatever for Communism,” the signers declare. “We are not its apologists or defenders, Our sole concern is with free speech for all movements in the United States, regardless of their purposes. That includes Communists, just like others. “All history should make it clear that it is dangerous to the public peace to outlaw a political movement, whatever its character, and to drive it underground into secret conspiracy, thereby encouraging violence. “Its open agitation may annoy people who fear to have it in the open than under ground. Existing laws adequately protect the government from acts of violence or conspiracies against it.” Congress should ignore the patrioteering bills, as it did last year. The Constitution, common sense and present circumstances all demand that speech be free. Let the patrioteers spend their energies in stamping out the cause of radical discontent. As Sir Charles Napier has said: “Idiots talk of agitators; there: is but one—injustice.” A Chicago surgeon says American boys and girls are crazy for a good time. A lot of stock market investors have found out they were crazy for nothing at all. Mt. Washington was recently reported the windiest spot in the United States. But that was before Huey Long went to the senate. One consolation of the depression is that it's showing up the thin-skinned business man. Sort of hitting him below the pelt. Two co-eds were hypnotized, and now Allegheny college has prohibited students from being put to sleep. Professors, take notice. According to a woman writer, this country is full of male nitwits. Which perhaps explains why so many are joining the alimony club. Bruening says Germany’s woe is Hitler’s fault. At least he can't blame it on prohibition. Years ago women didn't offer to marry for money. They just married men for money, but now they’ve got to advertise to find out who's got it. A man went to bed in a Canadian hotel and didn’t wake up for a week. Must have thought he was hearing another prosperity sermon.

Just Every Day Sense BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

ON my desk is a very intense letter from a 17-year-old girl. And the intensity of adolescence demands attention. In it she has put down her ideas about men and women. They are something like this: Woman’s chief work, for which God intended her, is to be a pure, good mother, if men are not as they should be, it is because women have departed from their rightful place in the home. Women are responsible for most of the sins of the world. These may be very fine ideals for any girl to hold ' in her heart about herself. If cherished too long and too tenaciously, however, they might cause her to develop into a rather narrow-minded woman. There can be no dissension from her first proposition. At any rate, the average woman’s most important work is motherhood. And those hundreds of thousands of wonderful women today who have no babies of their own. but who are influencing thought and helping the race, are, let us not forget, mothers in the finest sense of the term. Maternity is wide enough to enfold all humanity in its heart. u n a AS to the second statement, unless we can assume that women are bom without the same tendency to succumb to temptation that men possess, we can not admit the truth of that. Women are by no means the cause of all sin. The safest way is to let ourselves believe that God, who must surely be a just and reasonable spirit, hardly would demand more goodness from one sex than from the other. These conclusions nevertheless are safe one;, for a 17-year-old girl. The banners of decency should be held aloft by women. And it is undeniably true that when girls cling to the good for themselves and seek for high ideals in their friends and the men with whom they associate, they are treading the path of wisdom. ' To be 17, to cherish the thought that all women must be pure and that by being so they car. uplift men. is a marvelous state. Youth must have its dreams. And perhaps these dreams cherished through the centuries have made women better and have helped men in their struggle toward perfection.

M: E; Tracy Says:

Does the World Propose to Sit Idly by White the Stage Is Set for Tearing One of the Greatest and Oldest Countries Apart? NEW YORK, Feb. 13.—Chinese resistance should not be taken too seriously. It suggests possible, rather than available, power. According to press reports, Japan has about 20,000 men at Shanghai. If they prove unequal to the task, she can, and will, send another 20,000. Japan is in a position to mobilize effective fighting forces faster than China. Barring intervention by other nations, she soon will take Shanghai. With Shanghai in her possession, she can, and will reshape her demands. * tt \ .Scheming Nipponese THE rapidity with which the Sino-Japanese situation has changed and ramified since last September should warn us of what is in store. First, there was the row in Manchuria, with solemn declarations by Japan that all she wanted was law and order, that she had no thought of taking anything, that the ninepower treaty was in no danger and that she was firmly committed to China’s integrity. One thing led to another—intervention to boycott, and boycott to the attack on Shanghai—with Japan gradually altering her position. At present she wants the ninepower treaty modified, with neutral zones around certain Chinese ports. tt tt tt Dismemberment Next? - THE dismemberment of China becomes a possibility, with ground for suspicion that certain European countries would not make too much of a kick, provided they got a break. It sounds rough, but no rougher than what actually occurred fourteen years ago. When the World war began, few leaders, especially on the allied side, had an idea of remaking the map of Europe. You can’t tell what is going to happen as the result of conflict, until you begin to compromise with the victor, which is exactly what we are headed for in the far east. tt tt tt Hard to Stop Now THE problem of saving China and preventing war over her division is far more difficult than it was four months ago, and its difficulties will increase from now on. Each success causes Japan to become more exacting, while the outside world shrinks from an open break as the consequences appear more serious. Last fall the thing could have been stopped by a firm stand on the part of the League of Nations, especially with our support. Right now it looks as though something more than a firm stand would be required. It is possible that in another three months, nothing less than war would suffice. tt tt World at Crisis IT is useless tc speculate on what might have happened if this, or that, had been done with regard to the Sino-Japanese situation, the only worth while question being, where do we go from here? After all that has been said about the orderly adjustment of international controversies, does the world propose to sit idly by while the stage is being set for tearing one of the greatest and oldest countries apart? Assuming that Japan had a right to intervene in Manchuria, should the quarreling incident to its exercise be permited to go until a situation is created that threatens interminable conflict? tt tt it Our Future Involved WE Americans have a peculiarly big stake in Asia, a stake which involves our peace and prosperity, which has a definite bearing on our future. We can let things drift until the Pacific becomes another ocean of strife and rivalry. We can hug the thought of isolation until our very destiny is imperiled. The one thing we can not do is change the course of events without exerting ourselves.

Questions and Answers

Why is China called “The Land of the Dragon?” Because the dragon was the national symbol and badge of the royal family of China for centuries. It represented the power of the air, and forces of nature deified. The old Chinese flag bore a figure of the dragon swallowing the red sun. A great deal of religious meaning is derived from this symbol in the Taoist religion. What increase has there been in the consumption of cigarets in the United States since 1925? The preliminary report for 1930 shows a consumption of 115,379,197,000, and the average annual consumption for 1925-29 was 97,857.554,000. Is money derived from betting, lotteries and other forms of gambling subject to federal income tax? Yes. Where in the Bible is the story of Daniel in the lions’ den? The Book of Daniel, Old Testament, Chap.er 6. When were United States trade dollars coined? Between 1873 and 1883. How many motor tracks of oneton capacity or more are there in the United States and Canada At the end of 1930, there were 599,991 motor tracks in the United States and Canada, 455,122 of which were of at least one-ton capacity. How old is the world? There are widely varying estimates of the age of the earth. Physicists now seem to be more or less agreed that its age must be placed at something like 900,000,000 years.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE Sick Babies Need Frequent Bathing

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine. WHEN a baby is sick, it must be bathed frequently. Sometimes, sadly enough, it is so ill that it can not be bathed in a tub, but has to be bathed while in bed. An experienced nurse knows how to do this. She first sees to it that the room is heated properly, that there are no drafts and that an hour has passed since the child has had a meal. The fresh bed clothing, the towels and the wash cloth should be available at the foot of the bed. The utensils used in washing should be on table by the side of the crib or bed. When everything is ready, the bath proceeds as follows: The sick child is covered with the blanket and undressed under the blanket.

IT SEEMS TO ME by h ™ d

THERE is a prevalent opinion that politicians are practical men, intent entirely upon such realistic matters as facts and figures. But election day generally gives the lie to this supposition. All sorts of personal and petty considerations dim the judgment of party workers and leaders. I am not particularly interested in Democratic success at the polls next November, so I can point out certain things in which I may be right because of my neutrality as regards both major parties. I have been puzzled to note the tone which has been taken in regard to the possible nomination of A1 Smith. Even Mr. Smith seems dubious about his chances, and other leaders, for the most part, dismiss the suggestion with their favorite phrase, “He’s not available.” In my opinion Al Smith is the strongest candidate whom the Democrats could choose. And I do not mean strongest in the sense of best fitted. I mean that Smith would have the best chance of election. tt tt tt Looking Under Figures PEOPLE who point to the result in 1928 fail to analyze the figures very closely. It generally is believed that the New Yorker went down to a most dismal defeat. But any such conclusion is based merely upon the electoral total, which is misleading. No Democrat stood any chance whatever four years ago. The prosperity issue made Hoover’s election certain. If anybody but Smith had been selected to make the run, we would have had a dim John W. Davis campaign, with party lines strictly preserved and a walkaway for the Republicans. But Smith succeeded in polling more than fifteen million votes and smashing old allegiances into electrons and atoms. It was pioneer work in many respects, and the candidate lost states which have been normally Democratic, But what the politicians seem to forget is that the normal Democratic vote never is enough for elec-

People’s Voice

Times Editor—Has the depression also laid low the American sense of humor? Are the papers really serious when they say that President Hoover’s condemnation of so-called hoarding and the approval of his anti-hoarding campaign by the raising of hands brought forth $5,000,000 the first week? Does the taking seriously of a campaign to halt hoarding by publicity by so-called “leaders” really represent the present state of American leadership? And is the depression really caused by the 10,000,000 unemployed keeping money in their socks? Facts would seem to indicate that many are reaching the place where their socks would not retain money, and yet the national administration is committed to a policy of giving them nothing but a diet of words, such as the no-hoarding campaign. Let’s laugh, to keep from weepI tag. RANKIN FILE.

The Full Dinner Pail

Its soiled clothing is placed either in a laundry bag or on sheets of paper ready for wrapping. A bath towel is spread under the head and neck of the patient, which then are washed with the wash cloth wrung out of water and with soap if desirable. After the face, neck, ears and upper arms are washed, they are dried with the face towel and the bath towel is removed from under the head. It then is placed lengthwise under the patient and the chest and abdomen are washed carefully. If turning does not hurt the child, it is turned to the side and the back washed while the bath • towel is placed lengthwise close to the back. Then the bath towel is spread lengthwise under each leg separately and the leg is washed and dried.

tion. No Democrat ever has been elected by Democrats. It is, then, a little ridiculous for leaders to wring their hands and wail that the nomination of Smith would split the party. Only by overflowing its banks can the organization ever triumph, ani in almost every case a fundamental disagreement within-the ranks will serve to inspire a breach among Republicans. To be specific, an outright declaration for the repeal of the eighteenth amendment, readily could wean many away from adherence to the G. O. P. It has been held that 1928 constituted a wet and a dry referendum, but this is far from the fact. Many foes of Volsteadism overlooked their views on this issue to follow the green line of prosperity promises. They are not likely to be fooled again. tt it tt Unemployment as Issue CERTAIN Democrats have insisted with good reason that unemployment is a far more important problem than prohibition relief, but they overlook the fact that no party has a right or a chance to enlist the support of the jobless unless it offers a program. The Ritchies, the Roosevelts and the Garners have suggested nothing more than Mr. Hoover’s policy of faith, hope, courage, and do nothing. After all, a starving man is fairly indifferent as to whether he goes hungry under Democratic or Republican auspices. It is possible, but not likely, that millions can be enlisted to vote against Herbert Hoover regardless of the man who runs against him. I don’t think so. It is my notion that under the pinch of pressure, the franchise will be held somewhat more important than in other years. A few very trivial things operated largely against Al Smith in 1928. In years of prosperity people can afford to quibble as to whether the machine which brings us Bing Crosby is a radio or a raddio. But I do not think it will matter much next November. And I think that other extraneous issue as to relative social qualifications of the First Lady of the Land will also go into the discard. tt tt tt The Trend to Turn About According to my notion of popular psychology, the Democrats are missing a trick in the antiHoover campaign if they fail to capitalize it by enlisting the precise man whom the President defeated. It is likely that millions who voted for the chicken in every pot now are going about in a high dudgeon and little else. They want tc square accounts with the man who fooled them. We need not go into the question of whether Mr. Hoover had any great personal responsibility for the depression. Depend upon it that the voter will blame him. And in blaming the incumbent, the logical thing is a complete reversal. Those who hurried out to vote against Smith now can be expected to muster with enthusiasm jin his support. Say what you will about Al, he gets the vote out, whether it Is to be for him or

The child must be well protected by being covered with the blanket during the procedure of changing. After the bath is completed the child may be rubbed with alcohol, or, if the child is too young for this, powder may be applied generously. Then the child is dressed under the blanket in clean sleeping garments. An experienced nurse can change the bed clothing with the child in bed without much trouble to the child, even though it is quite sick. An inexperienced person may have difficulty with the patient in the bed and may find it necessary to lift the child carefully to make the necessary change of bed clothing. If the child has been having much fever, cold cream should be applied to the lips to make it comfortable.

against him. And the one chance of the Democrats is to work up an excitement which will lead to a full show of hands. The best which can be said for Franklin Roosevelt is that he is likely to poll the normal Democratic vote. And what good, may I ask, is that likely to be, as far as victory is concerned?

SCIENCE BY DAVID DIETZ

World. Needs New Universal Tongue, Simple, Practical, Says Savant, Pointing Out Inadequacies of Modern Languages. nPHE world needs anew universal language today, according to Dr. Alfred D. Flinn, director of the engineering foundation, New York. Once upon a time, the world of science had such a language. It was Latin. Sir Isaac Newton's “Principia," for example, in which he set forward his theory of gravitation, was written in Latin and as a result was immediately accessible to the scientists of every nation. But Professor Albert Einstein's theory of relativity was written in German, and many scientists had to wait until it was translated into French, English and other languages. Latin had to be given up as the official language of science because science progressed too rapidly for the language. Inventing new words continuously put too much of a strain upon it. The language also lost out in the general revolt of modern times against ancient authority. Dr. Flinn sets up a high list of requirements which the new language must meet. “It must be responsive to a culture above our present highest levels and yet so simple that it can be taught by radio and sound movies or through books without instructors,” he says. a u tt Latin Failed “'T'HE hundreds of existing natural languages and dialects never may be discarded totally, but they can be supplemented,” Dr. Flinn says. “Though rich in literature and tradition, they are unsuitable for many purposes. “The Romans were stalled in mathematics by their language. Who could do multiplication and division with Roman numerals? Much less are the more intricate mathematical operations feasible with such symbols. “How long shall the world lack an effective medium for communication and record, and for the ‘furtherance of the good of mankind,* the ultimate objective in the charter of the engineering foundation? “A universal language should be an invention using in new ways the elemental materials from which spoken and written media for expression of concepts mRy be constructed. “Its'grammar and rhetoric should be simple. Its rules need have no exceptions, so troublesome in all existent languages. “Primarily the universal language should be designed for uses demanding exactness, clarity, brevity, and performance. Freedom from idiom and from disorderly change are essential. “Preferentially It should be suitable for international and intranational communication in the sciences, statecraft, commerce, the technologies, law, finance and economics. To the natural languages may well be left the expression of emotions through poetry, drama and fiction.” it tt New Requirements “ r T''HE universal lauguage should JL be new in every particular,” Dr. Flinn continues. “Freed from the prejudices that would follow even partial use in its structure of existent languages, the new language should win favor more readily. Rationally designed for modern needs, its advantages should be compelling. Its scheme should bo as simple as practicable. “Its letters, figures and signs of operation (for mathematical and similar uses) should be rapidly formable with pen or pencil, and absolutely distinguishable whether made by hand or mechanism. “Each character should have butt one use, or else its several uses should be so selected as to avoid confusion. “There should be as few characters as will serve all purposes. There should not be two characters with the same meaning. “Sounds assigned to the characters for purposes of speech, should be readily understandable, even when transmitted by telephone or other device. “When assembled in expressions of thought (words, formulas, tabulations) the assemblage should be compact, and perfectly legible with wide range In sizes of the characters. “Conservation of time in communicating, recording, reading and of space in files and libraries, demands brevity. “Possibility for variation in form of the characters for esthetic reasons is secondary, but important. Variety of type face contributes to clarity, emphasis and interest of printed pages. “The new language should have a sensible name, free from taint of nationalism or partisanship, one which will not invite ridicule or opposition.” In what geographical division does the United States census bureau put Indiana- Kentucky and Missouri? Missouri, west north central division; Indiana, east north central, and Kentucky, east south central.
