The End in Sight When the party that sponsored the Wright bone dry law and boasted that Indiana had the harshest law of any of the states confesses failure of that law, the end of the prohibition experiment is in sight. It is significant that the Anti-Saloon League has lost its power to terrorize either delegates or candidates. In fact, every wise candidate knows that the support of that body, which was once an essential to election, is now a most decided liability. The Republican proposal to resubmit the eighteenth amendment to the people is an advance. Its declaration in favor of the amendment of the Wright law to make it conform to any federal enforcement law is better. When Arthur Gilliom, then aUdhrey-general, made this proposal four years ago, he was ostracised by his party associates and looked upon as a heretic. Even during the last session of the legislature, when such a repeal was proposed, the power of the fanatical drys was so great that members of the legislature were afraid to act. The law has always been a monstrosity and never enforced, except in rare cases when some individual was under official disfavor. The attitude of the Republican delegates indicates that the rank and file have little sympathy with the practices of the prohibition department. It is significant that there is enough sense of fitness not to adjourn without attacking the law under which the prohibition cheka obtained a sentence of George Dale, mayor of Muncie. It will be remembered that one of the charges on which Dale is under sentence to eighteen months in Leavenworth was that he had brought liquor to a Democratic convention. Dale denied it vigorously. The evidence was scant but the charge served its political purpose. His chief of police is under sentence and the main charge against him was that he had taken liquor to a convention of the American Legion at Louisville. Such a precedent is dangerous. The delegates must recognize this. There might come a time when it will be unsafe for others than Democrats to bend the prohibition law. That would be too bad.

A Compromise Relief Bill The Garner relief bill, passed by the house, is a pork barrel measure which should not become law. The Hoover relief plan is good, but does not go far enough. A compromise is necessary. That compromise is provided by the $2,000,000,000 Wagner bill, which was reported favorably by the senate committee Wednesday. It will pass the senate If the administration ceases obstruction. It should be accepted by the house conferees and signed by the President. Fortunately, there no longer is disagreement over the need of federal unemployment relief. It should have been provided two years ago. But the administration and the conservative Democratic leaders insisted that private charity could do the job. When it was proved by the President’s own experts that philanthropy was giving only one-quarter of the relief funds, and that local and state governments were providing three-quarters, it was argued that the latter could go on carrying the load. A year of deepening misery has been required to show Washington that local government funds in many states are exhausted and that others have reached the limit of their borrowing power. But now that this is clear, there Is a general willingness in congress to provide unemployment aid before adjournment. This laudable motive was chiefly responsible for passage of the defective Garner bill under the worst gag rule since the infamous railroading of the Haw-ley-Smoot tariff monstrosity. Aside from its invitation to pork barrel grabs, the Garner bill is inadequate because, while carrying $2,300,000,000 for nominal relief, the actual jobs or food provided for unemployed would be relatively small. It concentrates too much on the form of public works, which furnish a minimum of labor. Both the Hoover and Wagner plans have the advantage of turning the bulk of the expenditure—sl,soo,ooo,ooo—to income-producing construction projects. That is in addition to the $300,000,000 advances to states for Immediate relief. The main dispute in the senate between the administration and the Democrats is over the added $500,000,000 bond issue, which the Wagner bill would devote to federal public works. There are good reasons why the President should break the deadlock by accepting this provision. In the first place, he, as well as congress, already has authorized the projects for which this money would be used. Second, about half these projects now are in the appropriation bills to be covered by taxation. ~ . . It is not asking much of the President, in the Interest of compromise, to accept that remaining $250,000 000 for approved public works-especially since the' Democratic Wagner bill incorporates virtually all the Hoover plan. This Wagner compromise bill is the answer to the nuestion whether the unemployed will get quick relief It is the answer to the question whether confess shaU remain in Washington until after the Democratic convention and turn the session into a partisan campaign free-for-all. It is the answer to the question whether a deadlocked congress, in desperation, finally will take the Gamer bill or something worse. The time has come for the President to get out oi the way and let the Wagner relief bill become law. Depression Graduates m at will happen to the young men and young women after they receive their diplomas this June and walk out into the world to get jobs? There are 756,000 boys and girls being graduated this vear from American high schools, and 131,500 from colleges and universities. Some will continue their studies. Other, too poor for that, will return to city homes and farms to bide with the old folks while they wait tor better times. Most of them will take their places at the end Os the long queues of jobless, trying to seU in a glutted labor market their eager youth and newfound knowledge. We wept for the generations of 1917 and 1918 that were graduated from the campus into the trenches of France. Shall we feel only pity for the depression graduates} Perhaps we should envy them. The old lords of the earth have failed. Their system brought wars, unemployment, Insecurity, and misery. Among them appears no authentic and courageous leader fit for the days to come. Baffled at what they have made of civilization, they are about ready to go. Most of the young are clean of the old lie v They ft t

do not wear the shackles of authority, the blinders of tradition. If they have the idealism and patience, they may salvage it from greed, intolerance, and war, and make of it a happier place than the world of their elders. Blocking Economy The federal budget-balancing plan is jeopardized by the senate’s unwillingness to accept economies. It did a fine job in putting through the tax bill. But the job is not complete until economies, allowed for in fixing the tax total, actually are made. One of the committee economies which the senate has thrown out is $48,714,000 for veterans. Apparently the lobby pressure was too great. The proposed economy would not have touched general veterans’ relief, but only special items, such as hospital and other allowances for disease not contracted in the service, and reducing the retirement allowances of emergency officers with other incomes. As pointed out in the debate, about 25 cents of every dollar spent by the government goes to veterans. Since there must be economies, the relatively small one applied by the committee to the vast veterans outlay is only fair. On another flight from economy, the senate appropriations committee provided summer vacation camps for thousands of school boys and restored 2,000 army officers which the house found unnecessary to national defense. The total cut in army expenditures, including public works, is only about one-third the cut in interior department expenses. The Republican old guard is chiefly responsible for blocking these economies. It is futile for the administration to try to balance the budget with one hand, and at the same time unbalance the budget with the other hand.

Pershing on Crime In the fall of 1917, General “Black Jack” Pershing was having luncheon with Marshal Franchet d’Esperey. It was during an attack, and the marshal and the general were discussing things at home. Pershing told the marshal that he had heard that in the United States prohibition was being discussed. He said he was “frightened that-they might put it over on us” while the troops were gone. Both agreed this would be a “terrible” thing. Recently, Pershing was having another luncheon in France. Prohibition had been “put over” while the boys were overseas, and his country had tried it for twelv e years. What he feared had come about in a degree quite as “terrible” as he prophesied. “Prohibition undoubtedly is the basis of the racketeering that exists in America today,” he told members of the America Club. “The bootlegger and gangster have made much money and have made easy money, money that ought to have gone into the United States treasury to help relieve the deficit. They have made so much money they do not know what to do about it.” He said more about “lawlessness, brigandage and racketeering.’ . * ‘ Who is to blame? The American citizen himself, because he does not rise up,” General Pershing answered.

McGraw: A Baseball Legend Any baseball fan under the age of 35, or thereabouts—and there are a good many million in that classification—is unable to remember back to a time when John McGraw was not manager of the New York Giants. His resignation, therefore, seems like a fundamental change in the institution of big league baseball itself. Quitting the game, he steps into baseball’s academy of the immortals. There, with such names as Cobb, Mathewson, Chance,. Bresnahan, Evers, Wagner, Young and all the rest, he takes his place among the legends of the game; the legends that every youngster hears when he learns the game, the legends that help to give the great American game the color and sparkle that make its appeal perennial. New Yorkers are beginning to lose their faith in Jimmy Walker, following the disclosure that he overdrew his SIO,OOO letter of credit from a bus man on his three-months trip to Europe. They contend that anybody ought to be able to live for three months on SIO,OOO. A bulletin from the Akron department of health reads: Mrs. H. is released from quarantine, and is granted permission to start work on milk bottles, after being boiled thirty minutes. You might say she was still in hot water. ” , When asked what they would do if they were given control of t£e university, 338 out of 430 Princeton seniors replied, “I’d hire a good football team.” Which proves that they haven’t been frittering away their time learning about poetry or Greek.

Just Every Day Sense BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

ONE of the craziest ideas extant is that women prefer men whom they can manage. I am convinced that the worst injury our sex has suffered is the generally established opinion that the ambitious wife likes her husband to be spineless. Indeed, it no longer should be a question as to who gives and who receives orders in marriage, for good teamwork is the only thing that counts. I believe, however, that all women admire and would prefer to marry strong-minded men, especially if that strong-mindedness is tempered with good sense, justice, and kindness. A good many matrimonial fatalities are the result of negligence and soft-heartedness on the man's part. He becomes buried in his business and permits his wife to have conversational leeway and sometimes a regular monopoly on complaining. He merely smiles when she begins to rattle about his faults. He steels himself to silence when she scolds, and, like most males, having sold himself the silly idea that gentlemen must not defend themselves from the ladies, he lets her tongue wag incontinently. * * * THIS is a fatal error. If men were strong-minded enough to sit right down and read the riot act to a wife the first time she started to nag and complain and abuse, there would be a good deal less of this going on. There may be women who are not amenable to reason, but most of us can be persuaded to see our mistakes. The trouble is that so few husbands take the time to point them out. Traitorous though it may sound, we need more Communism in American marriage. Thomas Woody in his recent book, “New Minds: New Men?” show's the possibilities that lie within the Russian experiment when it comes to woman’s contribution to the nation. For Russian men are thinking of woman and her problems just as seriously as they are considering their own. American men must do

M. E. Tracy — Says:

One Can■ Not Review What Has Happened on. This Old Earth Without Realizing There Is Danger in Too Much Organization. YORK, June 9.—The needs of average people are, and always have been, comparatively simple. They consist of a reasonably good house in which to live; a comfortable bed in which to sleep; an adequate supply of food and clothing; a fire by which to cook and keep out the cold; a fair amount of time for play and selfexpression. Left to their resources, average people will go far toward providing such things for themselves, and will grow stronger in the process. It stimulates their ingenuity, teaches them to think in elementals, and keeps them in close contact with life. We think such people as primitive, because they build and work along limited lines. They lack the organization to produce great monuments, or create the gigantic enterprises by which we have come to set such store. At the same time, history is a running record of their ability to meet and conquer the more sophisticated tribes. One can not review what has occurred on this old earth without realizing that there is danger in too much organization, that human being must hoe their own row to a certain extent for the sake of mental and physical vigor, that slavery to ritualism, or mechanized life, develops weakness.

Turn Against Tyranny THEY are not entirely wrong who warn us of the demoralizing effects of machinery, especially as it is being employed to produce huge economic combines, and they are not entirely right who look for relief through the political control of such combines. Subordination of individual liberty amounts to the same thing, whether brought about by a trust in the United States, or a Soviet in Russia. For a time the marvels it accomplishes may persuade people to like it; but in the end they will turn against it for the same reason that they have turned against every form of tyranny. Over-organization always has, and always will, involve two results—first, dictatorship to compel efficiency, and then chaos, because human nature no longer can stand the strain. Both these results are rooted in the demoralizing effect of overorganization on average people. Average people can not maintain energetic interest in their work when herded together in vast multitudes, can not keep that sense of personal responsibility which goes with personal achievement. They are bound to slack on the job, which means that the machine must be made to whirl a little faster to drive them. Then comes the efficiency expert to perfect the scheme, the factory boss to back him up, the trade czar to standardize all operations, the combine to squeeze a little more profit for stockholders, and, finally, an effort to eliminate all competition by the establishment of a nation-wide, or world-wide, monopoly.

Opposes Super-Planning IN the face of such a set-up, the workers have no choice but to organize for their own protection. There are strikes when conditions become intolerable and depressions when greed leads to overproduction. Then we hear talk of dictatorship, as we are hearing it right here in America today. And this talk involves the same end, whether emanating from a Fascist, or Socialist viewpoint. There simply is no escape from dictatorship under unified control. Centralized power means tyranny, whether it represents the state or private enterprise. The only way of preventing dictatorship and tyranny is to balk unified control, to demand a minimum of government, both in the economic and political field. A minimum of government is obviously inefficient according to pres-ent-day standards, but it’s democracy. Had the Romans stayed with it, they never would have fallen prey to a semi-barbaric world. Had the Babylonians stayed with it, Cyrus never would have taken their city. For one, I have no faith in superplanning. I believe that our real task is to make the largest possible number of people in this country self-sustaining, not only from an economic standpoint, but from a moral, spiritual, and political stand]xint as well.

AMERICANS ENGAGED June 9

ON June 9, 1918, the battle of the Oise, staged at midnight the day before, followed along the French lines until it reached American troops near Veuilly. The Yanks were successful in repulsing German troops here. British positions, however, were not so fortunate between VillersBretonneaux and Arras. Paris again felt ;he tremble of bursting shells from long range guns far behind the German front lines. Germans advanced about four miles between Montdidier and the Oise, reaching the towns of Res-sons-sur-Matz and Mareuil. Little progress was made elsewhere.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE ‘Why’ of Vegetarianism Is in Doubt

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association, and of Hygcia, the Health Magazine. TUST why any one becomes a vegetarian never has been established. In some instances it sems to be merely a desire to be different from the majority. On the other hand, some people are so sensitive regarding the sight of flesh or blood that they simply can not eat meat, because they see it exposed in the butcher shop. Other vegetarians actually are so concerned about pain caused to the lower animals that they avoid animal food for that reason. Vegetarians eat milk, eggs and cheese which, of course, are animal products as much as the flesh of the animal. Dr. Adolphe Abrahams of Westminster hospital, London, points out that the intestinal tract of man is incapable of manipulating a sufficient amount of vegetable material to insure receipt of the caloric value needed for good health. If, however, cheese, eggs and milk

WHEN motion pictures were in their infancy, I said that they never w’ould amount to much, because it was too difficult to tell what was going on. And so I do not wish to be dogmatic about radio plays. It may be that their future will be grand, glorious, and all-conquering. Even in their present stage, I have noticed the very young listening to the plots which they unfold with rapt attention. Now, I haven’t the slightest objection to having my own attention rapt. Indeed, I prefer it that way. But I find it difficult to be engrossed unless I have at least an inkling of what’s on foot. When a junior relative of mine expressed eagerness to tune in sufficiently early to catch somethingmysterious about a Black Abbot or a Black Rabbit, I did not stand in the way of his pleasure. Indeed, I sat around to share the thrills, if any. The etherized drama included rifle shots, the clanking of chains and sudden screams, and yet no chilis played up and down my spine, because I never could tell whether someone of the characters was being highly amused or murdered. And after the first ten minutes I grew a little indifferent, although I had a slight preference for murder in the case of the entire cast.

are included, the minimum amount can be had. On the other hand, there is plenty of evidence that meat pro tein is superior for tissue building to vegetable proteii* regardless of caloric value. An occasional vegetarian distinguishes himself as an athlete or strong mas. This does not prove that every one who is a vegetarian will be an athlete, nor does it indicate in the slightest that other athletes will do well on a similar diet. There are plenty of notions regarding the training of athletes that never have been established scientifically. One recent writer on athletics has suggested that long distance runners eat such things as will give power of endurance and increased nerve force, and that hammer throwers take food and liquids which would make flesh and and bone. Such statements are absurd, as there are no such foods with such specific qualities. In the older days of the time of John L. Sulivan, athletes never kept in training, but im-

ruined by gambling at roulette. I ought to explain that Leslie is the girl and Gilda the man, although it took me quite a while to get that straight. Worseborough is also in love with Leslie and hates Bartlett, Gilda and Ferdinand. And, in his turn, Ferdinand hates—but do we have to go into all that? Gilda, as I remember, was moderately friendly to everybody. Another character named Constance—or words to that effect—kept popping up every now and then, but I never quite got her straight. Oh —and I almost forgot—Perkins, the butler, had served the Earl’s family faithfully for forty years. It later was discovered that he had spent half a century in Dartmoor prison, but that did not come out until he was stabbed in the back with a curious Oriental dagger, which was snatched from the wall of Fred’s library. Gilda was anxious to keep the insanity of Bartlett secret, so he (Gilda) tried to frighten him (Bartlett) by pretending to be the Black Abbot, a legendary figure supposed to haunt the estate of the duke. Bartlett, in turn, pretended to be the Black Abbot to frighten the radio listeners. The body of Perkins was discovered in the shrubbery, just outside the manor house, by a Scotland Yard detective named Smith, who had been hired to guard the missing treasure. Miriam was coming down from London by the next train, and suddenly all the lights in the lodge went out and the portrait of Clarence’s mother was snatched from the wall.

mediately after a match dropped all restrictions and took vast quantities of beer and meats and put on weight. It, therefore, became necessary for them on going into training to adopt the most rigid of diets. This brought about the notion that certain foods were not suitable for athletes. The argument has been made that the modern sophisticated diet of man leads to gastric ulcer, cancer, Bright's disease and similar disturbance. Recently a study was made of two native tribes—the Kikuyu and the Masai. The Kikuyu live entirely on vegetables; the Masai eat meat, blood, and milk, Neither of these savage tribes averages the European height, but the average height of the meat eater is five inches more than that of the vegetable eaters, and their strength is 50 per cent greater. It was found, furthermore, that gastric ulcer, rickets and practically every disease, except intestinal obstruction, was more frequent among the vegetable eaters than among the meat-eating tribe.

Ideals and opinions expressed in this column are those ot one of America’s most interesting writers and are presented witboat regard to their agreement or disagreement with the editorial attitude of this paper.—The Editor.

I It was Fred who discovered that the bars of gold were in reality ancient manuscripts, but that was just before he fell down the secret tunnel and was drowned in the river, so it didn't make much difference except that Gilda, who loved Leslie, was very unhappy, as you well may surmise. ' tt tt 8 Thicker and Much Thicker A FTER three loud notes on the 1 *• gong, the audience learns that Miriam and Perkins are at the bottom of a well, from which there is no escape. No, I’m sorry; it couldn’t have been Perkins, because he was stabbed with the curious dagger snatched from the wall of Fred’s room. Still, I am certain that somebody was at the bottom of a well, although I wouldn’t swear to Miriam, either, Anyhow, unless they are rescued, Ferdinand’s gambling debts will be cleared up, because that will make it possible for him to marry Millicent. I think you ought ot know that Millicent is a half-sister to Albert. It looked pretty bad for two people at the bottom of the well, because, in addition to the fact that there was no escape, the maniac was one of the finest rifle shots in all England. The Black Abbot was lurking just behind the trapdoor with a hatchet.

Secret Panel Discovered IT was by sheer accident that somebody discovered the sliding panel which revealed the earl’s emeralds and pitched Bartlett and the man from Scotland Yard into the harbor, which lay back of the gardener’s cottage. After that, of course, Gilda married Pat, her childhood sweetheart, and Donald came into the title. Millicent, naturally, announced her engagement to Perkins. No, I must apologize again Perkins still has a dagger in his back. Anyhow, it was the biggest double wedding ever seen at the plantation, and to top off the general happiness the constable succeeded in demonstrating that the threatening letters were forgeries and that the baronet had never made any will whatsoever. After that Frank came on the air and told us what to use after a night of overindulgence. But that did not occur until after the glad tidings were broadcast that Bartlett had won his seat in the house of commons and was betrothed to Gilda and Millicent and maybe Constance. All of which may serve to explain the popularity of Burns and Allen. They make such good sense. (Copyright. 1932. bv The Times) Is the inside of a watermelon red before it is cut?

SCIENCE BY DAVID DIETZ

Space May Not Be Curved, After All, as Einstein Theorizes. 'T'HE Einstein theory with its talk of curved space, and a universe expanding like a soap bubble, served to focus attention upon the far reaches of the cosmos. Recent events, however, have had the tendency to bring places closer to home into the astronomical spotlight. First of all, there is the recent pronouncement of Einstein and his colleague, the Dutch astronomer, De Sitter, that space may not be curved after all. Indeed, it may even turn out that space isn’t expanding. While this seems like somewhat of a letdown after all the recent excitement, nevertheless it is something of a relief for laymen, who have been trying quite unsuccessfully for the last year or two to imagine what a piece of curved space looks like. And second, there have been exciting discoveries right in our own backyard. Interesting denizens have been brought to light in our solar system. The two discoveries which have been exciting all the Interest are known, after their discoveries, as the “Delporte object,” and the “Reinmuth object.”

Nearest Neighbors ASTRONOMERS now are generally agreed that the two "objects” are asteroids and so it may be assumed that they will be given names in a reasonable interval of time. The* excitement about the two objects comes from the fact that with the exception of the moon, they seem to be the earth's nearest neighbors in space. They assume, therefore, a distinction which formerly belonged to the asteroid. Eras. The asteroids, or planetoids as they sometimes are called, are a group of tiny objects, some of them like "mountains broke loose," as one astronomer described them, which revolve.in an orbit between Mars and Jupiter. Th re are several thousand of them in existence. Two theories are advanced to account for their origin. One is that they are the debris which resulted when a planet, which once existed, exploded. The other theory is that they are material which might have formed a planet, but was prevented from coalescing at the time the solar system took shape, perhaps as a result of the tremendous pull of the planet Jupiter. • Many of the asteroids have highly irregular orbits and one in particular has interested astronomers in the past. This was Eros. Periodically, Eros approaches to withm about 16,000,000 miles of the earth. It made such an approach in January, 1931. This is closer than either Venus or Mars ever gets to the earth. The closest approach of Venus is about 6,000,000 miles, while that of Mars is about 35,000,000 miles.

More Accurate THE importance of the close approach of Eros is that it enables us to make a better determination of the distance from the earth to Eros than of any other astronomical distance, for the closer the object, the larger the angles involved which must be measured. Once we get a more accurate measurement in the case of Eros, we have a more accurate standard for all astronomical measurements. It now appears that the Delporte and Reinmuth objects will approach the earth even more closely than does Eros. The Delporte object was discovered by Professor Delporte of Brussels, the Reinmuth object by Professor Reinmuth of Heidelberg. There really are two Reinmuth objects, one which he discovered on Dec. 31, 1931, and the other which he discovered on April 27 of this year. It is the second one which is referred to in this article. The first one is also an asteroid, but does not make a close approach to the earth. The two objects require considerable study. While they are classed as asteroids, their orbits have many wide irregularities compared with most asteroids. In some respects, they seem like those of comets. It may turn out that there is not so great a difference as once imagined between comets and asteroids. Another way of stating it is that some comets may turn out to be asteroids. The first asteroid was discovered on Jan. 1, 1801, by Piazzi, an astronomer in Sicily.

People s Voice

Editor Times—The gentleman who answered my letter which appeared in your newspaper has disappointed me very greatly. I was in hope that, in event any one disagreed with my viewpoint on the subject, he would be so kind as to offer some constructive criticism at least. We all can denounce and condemn, but it takes a little thought and knowledge of the subject to offer a substitute that will be free from condemnation. It appears that nothing can be done in a manner to escape the criticism of somebody else. We hear rumblings about the advancing of money by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to the Missouri Pacific, the basis for which I suppose is a suggestion that perhaps the interstate commerce commission has been coerced into granting its approval of the loan. Once again we hear the old cry that the banks and railroads are being assisted, while the common people are permitted to struggle along as best they can. Os course, this is political propaganda of the worst sort, but nevertheless it finds audience at the present time, and it spreads among the entire people, accelerating the confusion and unrest that previously have existed. We have on one hand the charge that the government is assisting the railroads at the expense of the common people, and on the other the accusation that one of the government agencies is working against the interests of the railroads. We have confusion worse confounded, until our heads are dizzy trying to extract from the situation any real, vital information that will lead to a proper conclusion. READER.
