Milk for Babies While the whole world worries over the question of whether the kidnaped baby obtain* kind care and sufficient milk, some thought may be given to the thousands of chi'dren under 6 years of age in thi* city. A month ago, official surveys indicated that there were 10,000 children who were not receiving milk, or at least enough milk. A promise was made that this situation would be corrected, but since that time there has been a very persistent drive to reduce the cost of feeding the needy. It is no answer to say that many children do not like the taste of milk and will not drink it. The best physicians say that a milk diet is absolutely necessary for children and that if it be denied, there will be a heavy bill for sickness a few years later. The leadership of this city must see that the food given is sufficient both in quantity and in kind to support life. An immediate survey of the situation and an accurate check of homes into which trustee food U delivered to see how many children are without milk would be the finest tribute that could be paid to the Lindberghs, whose hearts have ever been open to the ery of need and whose sympathies with the suffering of others is no small factor in the universality of sympathy with them in their dark hour of tragic worry. Source of the Kidnaping Racket The New York Herald-Tribune is the chief newspaper of that party which has as its head the exponent of the noble experiment. Here is what the Herald-Tribune has to say about the source of the kidnaping racket: “Kidnaping as a racket—that is to say, as a professional pursuit of underworld gangs—seems to have had its origin as recently as 1926. Like most of the other rackets with which the American scene is cursed, it began as a by-product of the illicit liquor traffic. “The explanation is simple enough. The liquor traffic, with its vast revenue and its popular support, has corrupted the official world. Those who engage in it are the protected favorites of their partners in authority. “But this partnership does not and can not stop with the Volstead violation. It is bound to cover any activity which its beneficiaries select, since, no matter on what charge they may be arrested, they are in a position to expose the system. “Once protected, always protected. Hence, the proliferation of rackets, including that of murder, to say nothing of kidnaping .... “Good citizens who grind their teeth at the hideous menace to their homes and liberty involved in this enthronement of crime will do well to consider its* underlying cause. “Kidnapings are nothing new, nor are other outrages on the peace of the community, but it is no mere coincidence that, with the progressive failure of the prohibition experiment, their perpetration has become a national scandal. “The eighteenth amendment, like a rotten apple in a barrel, has tainted our whole civic order. Its removal is a prerequisite to the re-establishment of security.” Save Howard University Education suffers unjust discrimination in the interior department appropriations bill, now before the senate. Whether this Injustice is deliberate or unintentional is unimportant at this late day. The wrong should be corrected quickly. Howard university in Washington, one of the fewreal institutions for higher learning of the Negro in the United States, is the chief victim. Rapid progress has been made by this university in recent years Howard has won high rating from national educational organizations and boards and has the confidence of federal authorities from President Hoover and Secretary of Interior Wilbur down. The pending senate bill reduces the Howard appropriation to $675,000 for next year, compared with the fifst budget estimate of $1,942,000 and the current figure of $1,560,000. In times of depression and federal deficit, appropriations must be out. But federal outlays for social services and education should be cut least, because they already are so pitifully small. At least they should not be asked to take more than their proportionate share of the slash. This rule has been violated in the case of Howard. The cut in the entire interior department appropriations bill in the senate is only 3 per cent, while the Howard cut is 58 per cent. This is not economy. It is close to murder. No institution operating on a shoestring can take a blowlike that and survive as an effective school. We appeal to the senate to save Howard university A Chance to Lead The greatest industrial state in the Union, New York, is considering, and apparently intends to approve, unemployment insurance legislation. A bill following closely the recommendations of the experts’ commission for six industrial states, submitted last month to the Governors of New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Connecticut and Ohio, was studied in committee this week, promptly indorsed, and has gone to the legislature for action before it adjourns next week. If the bill becomes law, it will be one of the most constructive acts of government to grow out of the depression. Its benefits to working men can not be felt immediately, but unemployment insurance, if adopted generally, probably can do more to prevent future misery and suffering, such as we now are enduring, than any other single policy. The bill recommended, after months of study, has the particular merit of providing specific incentive to industry to stabilize its operations and keep its men at work, to save payments it must make otherwise. In this respect it appears to be more sound than insurance plans tried in other countries. No government “dole” is attached in any manner to the plan It is a cause for general rejoicing that New York should pioneer in this important matter. To Wisconsin belongs the honor of being the first state to establish compulsory insurance, but New York, with its wealth and power, can do more than another could to convince all states that the principle of unemployment insurance is sound, and is good for business, as well as good for men. The Tax Revolt Thousands of merchants gathered in the rain in front of the state capitol at Frankfort. Ky., to protest against a one-cent general sales tax proposed by the Governor of that state. During the meeting, a hundred or more men forced |peeir way into the Governor's mansion and roistered

their protest in the most violent fashion yet called forth by the present distress. Meanwhile in Washington, a house committee controlled by Democrats was agreeing to slap a federal general sales tax of 2*4 cents on virtually all manufactured articles. A more dangerous folly hardly could be imagined. The men who sit in Washington, in congress, nod in the executive departments have their attention fixed upon the coming presidential campaign. They expect to get campaign contributions from the rich, and they are refusing to place this year’s heavy tax burden on wealthy shoulders. They pretend extreme suffering does not exist. But if enough people grow angry in their privation and misery, neither the well-to-do nor the party politicians can benefit from this solicitude for wealth. If money and government misjudge the point at which the poor consumers and small merchants will cease to be patient and passive, dire consequences may follow. If they are able to judge this point accurately, if they impose anew tax on the man with barely enough to live, and drive merchants out of business, and no trouble occurs, will the law-abiding American people fail to show resentment, even at the polls? Will citizens permit their decency, their capacity to endure suffering in the interest of orderly, established society, to be imposed on to this extent? Congress should consider this matter well before it levies revenues for the coming year. Another Stab? Maternity and infancy aid again is in jeopardy. This time it is in the United States senate commerce committee that administration senators and some southern Democrats seek to block a vote on this important piece of social legislation. The vote on the new Jones-Bankhead bill is said to be 10 to 10, with the possibility that Senator Harris, (Dem., Ga.), now ill, may cast the deciding vote. In view of its loud protestations in behalf of children’s welfare and public health protection, it seems almost incredible that the administration again will assume the blame of letting this bill die in committee. For seven years the Sheppard-Towner act carried on its live-saving job. It saved 60,000 American babies. But it was allowed to lapse in 1928. Revived two years ago as the Jones bill, it was defeated last session by its administration “friends.” Now, with its sponsors agreed to accept the public health service amendments, with the budget bureau acquiescent, with every responsible health and social worker urging its passage as an emergency necessity, the same sort of administration methods apparently are being used to kill it. According to custom, Korean men must pass their wives on the street as if they were strangers. The only difference here is that American men walk with their wives. A scientist has succeeded in measuring a 600 millionth of a second. Just the measure of time for a Scotchman to change his mind after learning there’s a catch in it. British believe France and Japan have an understanding. If they have, it’s too deep for the rest of the world. Speaker Garner rode to that brilliant White House reception in a “20-cent taxicab.” Wonder if he told Mrs Hoover he was glad to meter? Mayor Jimmy Walker of New York is taking another rest. We didn’t know he had recovered from his last one. The Japanese war party had no trouble in winning Japan in the elections, but they found Shanghai a different story. From the claims and counter-claims in the war in China, you would think the battles were being fought by a bunch of politicians. Alfalfa Bill Murray says he will have a longer and happier life if he isn’t elected President. Well, there are plenty to wish him a long and happy life. Judging by what the coaches say, the changes in the football rules will revolutionize the game and leave it entirely unchanged. Every man should expect to live through four depressions, the economists say. But most of us don’t care to have the four rolled into one. Charles Schwab says he is confident of the future. What a difference in the confidence of a man a few millions can make!

Just Every Day Sense BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

IT was encouraging to find out how many readers resented the idea set forth in an earlier column that women's friendships often turn to enmity. The implication was a little too general, perhaps, and certainly out of date. But nothing ever has pleased me more than the protests that followed, because it proves that women are at last alert to their own decent qualities. The most irritating old-fashioned feminine characteristic was our readiness to accept without anger all the charges hurled against us. For generations women have been the most spineless cravens about defending themselves and each other. They have sat in churches and lecture halls and heard their sex roundly denounced. They have read the most absurd criticisms with equanimity. They even have joined in the general chorus of vituperation against themselves every time anything went wrong. But toe old lies are swallowed no more. It has taken us a long time to learn that we are no worse, and no better, than men; but we know our lesson. * a a THERE is growing up today among women a feeling of solidarity and friendliness that augurs well for the future. It forecasts a more just social order and a more splendid co-operation between sexes. To attain this state, however, we have had to fight prejudice, ignorance and religious bigotry, as well as ourselves. The old theory which taught that women were created by God more virtuous than men and yet that thejf must be kept in inferior and service positions was not only inconsistent, but unreasonable. We heard, for instance, that only men were loyal, honorable, broadminded and capable of the larger idealisms. Yet in the same breath it was explained that humanity’s fate rested in woman’s hand, since mothers alone could influence, improve and uplift. It’s high time we women looked at ourselves without favor, but also without prejudice. Let’s give ourselves a pat on the back now fnd then.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

M. E. Tracy Says:

We Must Not Forget That the Lindbergh Case Is Still Only One Among Hundreds; That Kidnaping Is Only One Phase of a Crime Epidemic. NEW YORK, March s.—Eightcolumn heads; bulletins over the radio each hour or so; police, constables and deputy sheriffs racing up and down the road; and when it’s all over, the best we can do is step aside while the distracted parents offer cash and immunity to the kidnapers if they will only restore baby Lindbergh. You can’t quarrel with Einstein for saying that the crime proves lack of social sanity, though he might have added that the general reaction to it offers still more vivid proof. Millions of people have exhausted themselves with futile speculation and still more futile worry. We glorify the performance because of the obviously good intentions back of it. If it comes to a happy ending within a few days, well and good; but if not, we will be worn out by the excessive excitement and turn to something else. nun Our Crime Epidemic A SITUATION such as we face and such as is brought vividly to light by this outrage calls for steadiness. We must not forget that, though the Lindberghs case is by far the most sensational of its kind, it is still only one among hundreds, or that kidnaping is only one phase of a crime epidemic. It is a thankless task to keep on repeating how lawless this country has become, or how indifferent most people are to the known facts of its disgraceful record. The malady has been developing over a long period.. Its inception goes back to a craze for easy money on the one hand, and a disrespect for law on the other. Laws and More Laws NOT pausing to discuss the money craze, disrespect for law can be traced to the tremendous volume of statutes and regulations beneath which we have smothered ourselves. It is a paradox that, though this republic was founded in fear of the law, it looks to law as a cure for every conceivable ill. The Lindbergh case hardly had been reported before congressmen and legislators were on their feet waving new laws. And that’s the way it always happens. Let somebody slip on a banana peel, and there is sure to be a yell for more regulation. a a a Enforcement Impossible LACK of law is not our trouble. We are more than supplied with provisions and penalties as far as the book is concerned. We have so many, indeed, that life is too short to read them through. We have piled up statutes to such an extent that no prosecutor, or peace officer on God’s green earth could carry them out. Asa general proposition we have given up the idea of seeing them carried out, and only expect a reasonably good job in spots. Just now the pressure is largely for traffic regulation, or dry raids. An emergency usually finds the great majority of our peace officers waving their arms at automobile drivers, or wondering which speakeasy to close next. U U a What Efficiency! CALL the boys in to handle a kidnaping, or a murder case, and they are usually about as bewildered as the rest of us. The law enforcement machine has simply broken down under a load of petty offenses and picayunnish duties. Nine-tenths of the so-called arrests represent nothing but nagging, which makes the public sore and indifferent. When something important happens we have to reshape the whole operation of our police power, call out the reserves, call in special investigators and in the final analysis bet on popular sentiment to get the job done right. This is ridiculous in a country which pretends to be efficient and which boasts of its capacity to meet the unexpected.

BRITISH SHIPPING LOSSES March 5

ON March 5, 1918, the British house of commons was informed that losses to British shiping from submarines had averaged 70,000 tons weekly in January and 80,000 tons weekly in February. United States troops in the Lorraine sector repulsed a German trench raid after a short skirmish. American losses were slight and no prisoners were taken by the Germans. Rumanian and German troops stopped fighting as news of an armistice between the two nations became known. It was reported that Austrian troops were being transferred rapidly to the Italian zone from the Rumanian front. German troops halted in their advance into Russia.

Coxey led an army of unemployed to Washington, starting from Massillon, 0., March 10, 1894, and arrived in Washington May 2. 1894. The purpose was to appeal to congress and the government to do something for the working people out of employment. Coxey and several others were arrested and the army disbanded.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE Hot Baths Help to Combat Disease

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hrceia. the Health Magazine. ALTHOUGH it is one of the oldest treatments for disease known to man, the use of hot baths still is one of the really important aids in combating certain types of disease. Savages had warm springs and the ancient Greeks wrote much about the value of this form of treatment. Certain germs can not grow under continued heat above normal temperature of the human body. For instance, it was found that patients with general paresis improved when infected with malaria fever. Many physicians believe that the

Editor Times—l am an ex-patient of Sunnyside Sanatorium and am trying to finish the cure at home. My husband has had no work for a year. We were evicted from our home for non-payment of a month’s rent. I was informed that the Sunnyside Guild was supposed to help ex-patients, so I called the president of the guild, explaining the situation to her. She said she would send someone to see me, but she wouldn’t say when. So we have spent the time waiting by living from the trustees and the family welfare. The guild gives a party once a month at Sunnyside, lasting two hours. This is very nice, but where does all the money go, from card parties and various entertainments, the proceeds of which are supposed to help ex-patients? They have thousands of dollars drawing interest in the bank, and good charitable people attend these dances and parties, thinking their money is going to help some unfortunate T. B. We get $3 a week for four people to live on, but if we had waited for the guild we wouldn’t have that. Beans and jowl isn’t such a good diet, either, and if we buy a quart of milk a day that takes off 56 cents of our precious $3 worth of groceries. I hope this letter reaches some one where it will do some good. AN EX-T. B.’r.

The Theme Song

malaria attack acts by raising the temperature of the body to such extent that the germs were killed. It generally is accepted that a hot bath has definite effects in speeding up the chemistry of the body. This is shown by the increase of non-protein nitrogen and carbon dioxide in the blood. It also is established that white blood cells are increased following a hot bath, and particularly the form of white blood cell that is important in attacking infection. This result is brought about by the hot bath itself, and is not influenced by adding salts, oils, ointments, muds or anything else to the bath. Physicians have advised the use of hot baths for patients with gout,

spond with some of your readers. However, that may be best, as v/e need competition in all things. I want to compliment The Times for its fight against graft, high rates and crime, and hope the good work may go ahead. If it is unemployment that is the matter with this country. I think as the one who sent Mr. Hoover the suggestion that we do away with some of the man-saving machinery. It is my belief that the worst machine is the mammoth political machine. Instead of the government being ruled by the people, the masses are ruled by the classes, and, right at this point, as another great political campaign is approaching, is a good time for the masses to get busy. It will be no trouble for those offices to select good honorable men and women to pledge themselves to cut out one-half of the boards, bureaus, and commissions and other uncalled for nuisances. DILAPIDATED FARMER. Editor Times—While there is much discussion concerning the passing of an old age pension law, I think it would be well to consider just how this will work, and the exact amount of good it will do for those for whom it is intended. No one has any greater pity and love for the welfare of our aged than I, and I, for one, would not lay a straw in the way of any method which can be worked out for their good. Suppose they received a pension of S2O or $25 or even more a month and lived possibly with their relatives, usually daughter or son. How many really are wanted in the home? How much would they get of it? Would they be any more welcome after the first few dollars were paid in? And if they had to live by themselves, how far would this amount go? Consider also that they have to have someone to care for them when they are 111 and ought not be left alone. Asa rule they have to do just exactly as their relatives

rheumatic infections, and various nervous disorders. If the patient is put in the bath with the water pleasantly warm and the temperature of the water gradually increased, it is possible to raise the body temperature of thq patient to such extent that the thermometer placed in the mouth will record from 104 to 105 degrees. Obviously such procedure is potent for harm when wrongly used, as well as for good if properly used. Some people become faint in a hot bath. Patients with heart disease or with a serious condition of the blood, vessels may be harmed by remaining in such a bath too long or by being submitted to sudden changes of temperature.

i want them to do, or there is dis!cord. 1 I certainly do think a home, and not just dreary walls, where each really can enjoy living, would be much preferred to a pension. Then they can have nurse care and their folks could entertain them occasionally and, above all, go to call on them. It is certain there is need to remedy the situation. Perhaps the state would consider building a home or contribute to each county money to meet this great need. It all reverts tc the people, anyway, fixed in taxation, so let’s see to it that the real purpose of helping our aged people is not lost sight of. READER. Editor Times—l wonder if you will allow me to voice my “wail of woe” through the columns of your worthy paper? I am a law-abiding citizen of Indianapolis and have lived here for almost nine years. I had hoped to make this my home for the remainder of my life. I have lived with an open hand and have withheld from no man as long as I had any means of support. Now I have no work and can not meet my obligations. I feel like a faithful old horse that has outlived his usefulness and has been turned out to die, uncared for. Has my past service merited no reward? Is there nothing more for me to do but starve? I am condemning no one, just asking a simple question. I have been able thus far to scare up 12 cents to buy your paper, for I like to keep in touch with the world’s movements. TIMES READER. Editor Times—Regarding the editorial, “Utility Stupidity,” the people of this city and state control the situation and have the power in their own hands to give themselves electric lights comparable in price to the drop in wages. (We won’t say anything about farm products). I am not selling lamps or oil, so have no ax to grind in writing this. Mr. Everybody, don’t worry about exorbitant light bills. Just go and buy yourself a few kerosene lamps, and you can buy ten gallons of oil for a few cents and a dollar. Os an evening we can sP and be comfy, just like Grandma and Grandpa used to, and it won’t be long before the old-fashioned coal oil light will find the way out for you and by the time you have used your ten gallons of oil you will have a cheaper light rate. CHARLES E. TOWN. Editor Times—The Times must be stepping on the toes of the Indianapolis Power and Light Company. About Nov. 5 a meter inspector came and inspected my light meter. No increase in light bill. About Dec. 5 around came another guy, with a lot of tools, saying “Meter inspector.” All he did was to use a lot of juice, then adjust the meter, and ten days later my bill had increased one-third. Jan. 16 the meter was read again. This time it was for a full month of the readjusted meter, and the reading was just double. They are trying to get a little nest egg before they have to give us a cheaper rate, 1 guess. H. E^K.

Mystery of Butterflies , Increase in Number After Storm Explained. THE mystery of why there is an enormous increase of some species of butterflies following storms has been cleared by Austin H. Clark, noted biologist of the Smithsonian institution. Clark, who has made a study of butterflies for many years, sets forth his observations in a recent ' publication of the Smithsonian institution, titled ‘'Butterflies of the i District of Columbia.” j The milkweed butterfly is one that seems to increase greatly after storms Most of the new butterflies noted are insects just newly emerged from the chrysalids, Clark found. “It would seem evident," he says, “that the moisture provided by a shower enables many of these insects. previously prevented from emerging by the dryness, to escape from the chrysalids. “In the cases I have studied it could not be due to the normal appearance of a late brood, as this : normally takes place gradually over several weeks.” Butterflies, like birds and certain varieties of mammals, have their migrations, Clark found, but these movement® differ in essential details from those of the higher animals. a a a Butterflies Migrate "T>IRD migrations,” Clark reports, J3 “are movements of a very definite nature from the breeding grounds to another region more or less remote, and back again by the same route. “The round trip is completed several or many times during the life of the individual, and the movement usually involves all the normal and healthy individuals of a species in a given area. “Butterfly migration rarely involves more than a portion, and often a relatively small portion, of the individuals in any region. “So far as the individuals are concerned, the migrations are in one direction only and, so far as the species is concerned, there is seldom any indication, of a definite return movement. “In some butterflies, migration is a regularly recurrent annual phenomenon. In others it takes place frequently, but at Irregular intervals, while in many it is observed only occasionally.” a a a Typical Example TAKING as a typical example of a migrating species the common milkweed butterfly, Clark explains the migration as follows: “Avery large number emerge from the pupa at the same time, engorge themselves together, and reach the traveling and tree perching stage of their adult life simultaneously. “So we find in the air large numbers instead of isolated individuals. The appearance of this insect in swarms means, I believe, not that they have gathered intentionally for the purpose of traveling, but simply that something has occurred in their place of origin to cause great numbers to emerge simultaneously. “Most of the migrations of this butterfly that have been reported have been southerly. It is likely that this will be found to be a function of the prevailing winds, plus certain georgraphical features, such as rivers and seacoast. “The migrations appear to be simply a mass expression of the normal habits of each individual in a migrating swarm, and the commonly observed direction of these flights to the south seems to rest solely upon the mechanics of autumnal meteorology and to have no other relation to the procession of the seasons.” Quite a different phenomenon, he believes, is involved in the migrations of another family of butterflies, the pierids, in which the migrating flocks are composed almost entirely of males. 'his case, he says, it seems to b -r an extension of the “puddle c. phenomenon. ‘ oome of the exiled males are unable to get back to the fields when there is intense pressure of population. Then they simply wande: away, flying in a straight line against the wind. “They are highly gregarious. Other exiled males join in the flight and the result is the exodus in a loose swarm of all the bachelor misfits.”

Questions and Answers

When a. furnace in a house (fives off noticeable fumes of hydrogen sulphide, is that an indication that the furnace is in a dangerous condition? The United States bureau of standards says that gas coming from a coal furnace with the odor of hydrogen sulphide almost certainly contains carbon monoxide, a deadly gas. The escape of any gas of this kind into living rooms is certainly a hazard to health, and may be even to life. Without question the flue should be so repaired that no further odor will be detected under any conditions of normal operation. What year was the first United states census taken? In 1790. Where and when was John J. Raskob born and of what descent? Born in Lockport, N. Y. His father was an Alsacian and his mother was Irish. Why do oil wagons have chain dragging on the ground? To prevent a possible explosion as a result of static electricity which may be set up by the motion of the liquid in the tank truck. The chain provides a metal ground for the harmiess escape of such static electricity. diamonds been found in the United States? They have been found in Arkansas, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Kentucky, Virginia, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan.
