The Night Sphools

Unless public spirited men and women take upon themselves the burden of conducting night schools, these very important institutions will be abandoned. The school board, pressed by the taxpayers for economy, has no money for these enterprises. The adult vocational classes are gone for this year, killed by the depression. The board, so it asserted, had to choose between the regular school system under reduced wages for teachers, and these facilities for the underprivileged. The night school went. Yet in no other time in all history was the night school and the adult school so important. The big demand this winter will center about the same means of filling the empty hours of the idle man and woman and the young boy and girl who are unable to attend school in the day time. In other years there was the attraction of paid entertainment. There was the opportunity for relaxation, for amusement, for advancement to be had by purchase. This year as many thousands will starve mentally and spiritually as are hungry physically. Unquestionably private charity and the public purse will see that there are no starving people in this community. The necessities of life will be furnished. But ‘men do not live by bread alone.” The truth of that statement will be more evident this year than in times of plenty. In other years, the common interpretation was that men also needed cake and meat. Today it means that men need release from worries, cares and brooding thoughts. The night school is as important, if not more important, than the school for the boy and girl of school age. There should be such schools, perhaps broadened to the scope of community centers where amusement as well as education will be offered. There are hundreds of college men and women in this city who should be willing to offer their services to such schools without compensation, young men and women who have profited from the public school system and who should be willing to make this contribution to our social system. Somewhere in this city is a man with organizing talent and a passion for public service who could lend these forces and secure these teachers. The man or woman who would volunteer for this purpose this winter will find more than fame. They will find a satisfaction of soul that can not be purchased. But the hour demands a leader. Is there one who will try the job? Delaying Prosperity Politics is paralyzing an American policy which could help restore prosperity. This explains this statement by Secretary of State Stimson: “It ought to be unnecessary to continue to repeat that there have been no negotiations, discussions or conversations between this government and the European governments on the subject of debts and reparations.” Secretary of Treasury Mills said the same thing Thursday. The Republican administration knows that the same causes which necessitated the Hoover moratorium now necessitates further negotiations. It knows that foreign governments have no intention of paying those debts in full. It knows that the Lausanne reparations settlement, to which the President and Republican campaign orators attribute financial recovery, will fall unless buttressed by a similar debt accord. It knows that European nations made the Lausanne agreement on the understanding that the United States would discuss debt revisions after Europe disposed of the reparations problem. It knows that this unsettled debt problem is one major cause for international financial chaos. Then why does not the administration do its duty and begin negotiations for a settlement? The answer is that the administration has been carrying on such negotiations, informally and unofficially, for more than a year; but it is afraid to admit the truth, and afraid to continue those negotiations at this critical time, because of the election campaign. The politicians have misinformed the public so long and so often regarding the debt problem that politicians now are afraid of the public ignorance they created. The Democrats are as bad as the Republicans—as witness the Democratic platform and the Roosevelt speeches. But the Republican responsibility is greater, because the Republicans are in office. The public ignorance and misunderstanding, Which the politicians fear, has disappeared largely. The terrible facts of this depression have opened the eyes of the public. The public is willing to listen to any constructive debt proposal that will help restore prosperity. This is proved by the remarkably enthusiastic public response to Senator Borah s campaign to trade debt reduction for armament reduction, and to Alfred E. Smith's proposal to trade debt reduction for foreign trade increases. Whatever Hoover. Stimson and Mills on the one, and Roosevelt and the Democrats on the other side, may say about it during the election campaign, the next administration is going to make some kind of new debt settlement. The same is true of the international economic conference, which just has been postponed indefinitely, on Hoover's order. But it is a national disgrace that election politics is allowed to sidetrack until next year prosperity measures needed now.

The Economy Test Campaign orators of both parties talk fluently of federal economy, but actual preparation of the budget for running the government In 1934 now is under way behind closed doors in the United States treasury. All departments and bureaus are at present passing in review before the director of the budget, whose duty it is to know the value and necessity of every expenditure. Past and future expenditures are being scrutinized in minute detail. Available funds are being allocated between the civil and military branches of the government, between bureaus that serve business and humanity, between enforcement of the prohibition law, and all other enforcement duties of the government. If there is to be a saving, this is the time when it should be made. The President and his budget bureau are better equipped than congress ever can be to discover and eliminate inefficiencies in ‘ the service and petty grafts.. Yet last year it was left for congress to trim three-quarters of a billion dollars from the estimates submitted to it by President Hoover. And somehow, in the noise and confusion which accompanied that congressional saving, the country lost sight of the fact that this thing of making a budget is the duty of the executive, not the legislative, branch of the government. It was President Hoover's responsibility, under existing law, to send to congress last winter a schedule of expenditures and revenues which would balance each other. Discovering some time after his budget had been submitted that it would not balance, it was the of the President to determine where new economies could be made and recommend them to congress, along with new taxes. He failed last year. He should not fail again. Years ago congress, determined that expenditures should be made as scientifically as possible, created a budget bureau to handle the problem, and directed the executive to budget all disbursements. But there is little point in this arrangement unless a budget is submitted which is somewhere near available revenues, which does not have to be remade in the troubled political atmosphere of congress. President Hoover has direct jurisdiction over the budget, and over the men who will spend most of the money. He has his chance, right now, to lead his cabinet members, who opposed efforts at economy so bitterly last year, firmly back into the paths of reason. He has another chance to make good on last year's glowing promises of naval and military economies, which ended with his cabinet members and one of his secretaries beseeching congress to abandon its tangible plans for effecting these same savings. If we are not again to reach the desperate impasse which led last year to poorly devised economies, the President must require his subordinates, now, to trim the non-essentials, to tighten the pursestrings against the militarists, the subsidy seekers, the prohibitionists, and all those who dip their fingers into the country's money without giving value received. A Thrifty Idea The Scotch people are not, we've been told, a spendthrift race. So when they go down into the kilties for an extra penny, it is likely to be for something useful. Scotland's minister of labor has instituted an experiment in physical training for the jobless. In Glasgow and other cities, training will be offered to men between the ages of 18 and 30. The courses last for twelve weeks and each young man will have an hour’s lesson every other day. The purpose is to “combat the physical deterioration that so often accompanies long periods of unemployment.” Why could not our cities and states offer such courses at schools and playgrounds? Physical fitness is hard to build, easy to lose. It Is worth saving. A Spanish bull which chased a matador out of the arena was rounded up and shot. Over here we would have simplified the process by having the judges award the decision to the matador. A writer says that America incurred very little ill will by entering the World war. But we’d be willing to trade a little ill will foi some hard cash. Charlie Chaplin doesn't want his children to follow in his footsteps. Perhaps he read somewhere that pie crusts are not good for growing children. Judging by the way the stock market has been acting, by now all the bears should be nearly bare.

Just Every Day Sense 3y Mrs. Walter Ferguson

THE New Mexico state penitentiary was built to accommodate a few more than 300 inmates. It now contains >OO. Os this number, by far the larger Portion are bays. This is true of all our penitentiaries today. The average person has a certain mental picture of a social outcast. We thik of mature men, battered by life, hardened by evil deeds, unruly and sullen. What a shock it is, then, to see all these boys, many of them lads, who live in the shadow of black walls an and ablacker future. Somehow it makes you wish you could leave such a world as this one we have made. How tragically young they appear. Just as sweet and smiling, many of them, as your boy or mine, with the same clear eyes and innocent looks and the same strong, comely bodies. Most of the younger ones are in for automobile thefts. One of the blessings of modern progress, I presume. This visit is rather a terrible ordeal. It is very hard not to become a sentimentalist when you see a mothe rvisitin gher 18-year-old son, who is separated from her by prison bars. u m a ' 'T'HE warden is a kind man. He did not take us by -I- the death cells, where four young men are waiting for electrocution—and in a fine, brand new chair. How do we bear such things! We who agitate ourselves over vivisecting dogs and grow tearful over cruelty to cats; we who prate of Jesus and His mercy! Yet me permit such torture as this in our names. I do not care what crime a man may have committed. no society has a right to put him an a narrow cell and tell him that upon such and such a day he will be led forth and burned. • Is there not some more humane method of disposing of our undesirable, some swifter, kinder fate? Must the weakest among us be subjecte dto such mental cruelty? How far have we progressed from burning at the stake? Is our civilization any more admirable for having exchanged the fagot for the electric switch, since long torturous days drag the victim to the same inevitable event? A huge quetsion mark hides the cross of Christ in a still barbarous world. a

M. E. Tracy Says:

Four Days in the Mayor*s Chair Prove That McKee Has Leadership Qualities That Jimmy Walkei' Did Not Have. NEW HAVEN. Conn., Sept. 9. McKee is showing up Jimmy Walker in a most effective way. Four days have sufficed for him to give New Yorkers a real demonstration of the difference between leadership and bluff. Neither can any judge insinuate that he has disregarded the rules of evidence while doing so. The kind of proot he offers is beyond the range of legal quibbling. Walker launched his economy drive with an appeal to policemen, firemen and other city employes for the voluntary sacrifice of one month’s pay. McKee begins by cutting his own salary 3714 per cent, or sacrificing more than four months’ pay. Walker told other people how they could lighten the city’s burden. McKee accepts his share. An emergency like that which confronts New York City and all other communities calls for something more than good advice. This is one time when leaders must do better than wisecrack. Taxpayers have stood about all. they can. So have rent payers. Besides, nothing has occurred to indicate that next winter will be much easier than the last three. tt tt tt Competence Is Needed PURPOSE of politics is to improve government. In prosperous times, this rule can be reversed for a season or two. with government left to the vagaries of fate, while politicians get theirs. That is exactly what happened in New York City. The legislative investigation led to a dust-throwing match, while Walker’s resignation brought the whole performance to an abrupt, unexpected, and inconclusive end. The real reason for wanting Walker out of the way was to make room for someone who would do better. If he prefers to go on chattering about “vindication,” that obviously js his privilege, but what New York City needs is a more competent administration than he was able to give. n tt tt He Fills the Bill Apparently, Joseph v. McKee is able to fill the bill in this respect. It is to be admitted, of course, that four days represent a short time in which to rate a man’s capacity for any job, but, in this instance, they have proved sufficient to make McKee an impressive figure. He seems to have known what should be done end how to do it. He has not found it necessary to sidestep any phase of the situation, while he ran to some of the big shots for advice. Rightly, or wrongly, average people will interpret his quick, effective action as meaning that he is ■well aware of what the city needs, has a well-thought-out program, and does not lack the courage or independence to carry it out. Average people already are beginning to ask why is it necessary to look farther? If a special election must be held, why not take McKee? tt t Walker Is Failure WALKER wants to run, naturally, but that is a matter of personal pride, rather than public interest. Whether innocent or guilty of the charges brought against him, he is an obvious failure. He not only has developed a costly administration and jeopardized the city’s credit, but has put himself in a position of antagonism to the Democratic national ticket. The city organization could not support him without placing itself in a similar position. If it were to succeed in re-electing him, it would have to assume responsibility for the kind of administration he would give. The past is a warning of what that implies. Walker has resigned. Why not let it stand? McKee has stepped into his place, with every appearance of being able and desirous of giving New York City the kind of administration which existing circumstances require. Why not let that stand?

Pimples Are Puzzle in ’Teen Age

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine. IT generally is well recognized that boys and girls reaching the age of 17 or 18 years suddenly begin to deevlop pimples and blackheads or comedones on their faces. Careful scientific studies have been made in an endeavor to determine just what the relationship is between this maturing of the body and the development of pimples, because there seems to be no question but there is a causal connection. It has been explained as being the result of some change in the blood or in the glands, as due to some change in diet, or other factors. but actually there is no explanation that satisfies. It seems reasonable to believe, as one physician asserts, that some change in the sex glands associated

IT SEEMS TO ME

I THINK that Alfred E. Smith should speak now or forever after hold his peace. It is not within my right or the right of any other man to suggest what he should say. That is hisown business, and we think that he should tend to it. Any man who ever has followed the leadership of A1 Smith is in order if he suggests with great firmness that the happy warrior ought to take the world into his confidence as to which direction he has chosen. • I am aware that Mr. Smith announced his support of the Democratic platform without mentioning names. But this was so perfunctory a gesture that it carried neither A1 nor those who love him to first base. The followers of Smith are not accustomed to finding him make a declaration with no more than the waggle of a little finger or the lift of the right eyebrow. Th- average citzen has a right to seal his lips against all inquiring reporters and to present a dead pan to the world around him. A1 Smith has no such right. It is not his privilege to go into the silence, for he has spent too many years shouting to shock troops to come on. ts it tt No Seat Upon Sidelines AS late as last June A1 was a political leader wearing a white plume and brandishing a sword. He can’t go neutral now until 1933, at the earliest. No one should try to tell him in which quarter his duty lies. I have heard it said that Governor Smith feels that he owes no debt to the Democratic party, since upon several occasions he sacrificed his inclinations, his interest, and his peace of mind to obey the mandates of the organization. 1 do not think there ever was an obligation to mere party interests. That is not what I am talking about now.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

with the maturing of the body must be the basic factor, because almost invariably this condition develops. A German student of the subject, examining hundreds of boys and girls, found that 5.3 per cent of girls 17 years of age and only 4.6 per cent of boys 18 years of age were free from blackheads and comedones, which constitute the beginning symptom of this condition. Os course, once the blackhead appears or once a pimple begins, the possibility of secondary infection in the opening of the skin by the germs that always are present thereon exists. When these secondary infections take place and become chronic, then there is a real disease of the skin, commonly called acne. Obviously, if the secondary infection is prevented, the condition is much more likely to disappear without leaving scars and to improve

I merely object to Smith of Fulton Fish Market suddenly turning Delphic on us all and saying, “Maybe yes, and maybe no.” I have heard it said on extremely roundabout authority that A1 thinks the election of Franklin Roosevelt would be a disaster. When I say “roundabout,” I mean that it came to me from the report of a friend’s friend’s testimony of what the second. cousin of an acquaintance had said to him. I haven’t the slightest idea of what A1 actually thinks. I am curious to know. Let him say it. There have been years in which it seemed to me that absenteeism was a justifiable position in regard to a presidential election. I can not see why any man should take much trouble to register and vote in any election which seems to him a mere sham battle between two candidates equally worthy or equally impossible. But I think that the field of choice is adequately covered at the present moment. it tt tt Chance for All to Choose MR. HOOVER, with all his faults, does not stand quite palpably as the candidate of all ultra conservatives. If that is Al’s political philosophy and adherence, let him say so. Franklin D. Roosevelt is far from being the perfect exponent of the liberal point of view. But it so happens that he is the only candidate running under that particular pennant. If A1 is liberal, it might interest us all to know why he is not at the shoulder of Roosevelt. Norman Thomas represents political radicalism. Quite a few followers of A1 will support Thomas. Does Smith appiove and lend aid to this movement or not? I think he ought to say. William Z. Foster is the leader of those who believe in violent revolution, with political activity as a trivial by-product. And what has A1 got to say about this? It seems to me that Hoover, Roosevelt, Thomas and Foster just about cover the field of economic theory. With a choice so wide and varied, I do not see how any man can very well say that there is not a single candidate who does not come within hailing distance of his own sincere beliefs. Naturally he may contend that there are conservatives whom he would support more eagerly than Herbert Hoover, and I won’t argue if any man declares that he easily can conceive of a revolutionary less opportunistic and evasive than William Z. Foster. But each will do as a symbol of his cause until the next man comes along. tt it Leader to Wallflower NO one, as far as I know, demands that A1 should put a paper cap on his head and spring into the center of the floor as leader of the cotillion for any of the available candidates. But I do think it would be monstrous if he spent the entire evening meeting each proffer of a friendly hand with the curt reply, “Let s sit this one out.” I am not speaking wholly of the welfare of the electorate. I think it would be a salutary thing for the health of the democracy to have A1 make his attitude plain and apparent. f* i

than if such infection is not prevented. In the presence of the infection, absolute cleanliness is of the greatest importance. One of the safest and best cleaners of germs is ordinary alcohol. One physician recommended that the face bepainted each night with 90 per cent alcohol and found that the pimples and blackheads tended to disappear promptly. However, any good antiseptic that does not stain the skin and that does not irritate should be satisfactory for the purpose. Os course, the formation of boils or small abscesses in the skin constitutes a demand for careful medical attention. If a boil or a pimple approaching a boil forms, it is necessary to draw out the infected material, to clean the area thoroughly with soap and water, and to apply antiseptic solutions thereafter.

pv HEYWOOD 151 BROUN

Up to date he has been a grumbli.-.g thunder cloud on the far horizon. If he’s going to storm, let him storm or else clear up. And for his own sake—for the sake of his blood pressure, his heart action, his fundamental metabolism —let A1 speak out loud and clear. He never has been a man to mumble, and the year 1932 is hardly the time for him to begin. Surely of all the millions of American voters, Alfred E. Smith is the first who ought to have a fierce repugnance against a whispering campaign. (CoDvrieht. 1932. bv The Times)

People’s Voice

Editor Times—What editorials! What a mind behind them. It must be “what a man!” Recognizing the situation, the present economic situation, for just what it is, calling a spade by its name, that is the type of mind, daring to recognize a truly desperate situation, daring to voice a real honest opinion of such in the face of “finance,” that is the mind behind a character which the American public needs right now to guide them. Perhaps you have seen children, ordinarily healthy, bright eyed, rosy-cheeked, laughing, dimpling cherubs, as they lose the rosy cheeks and dimples, and blue circles dim the once sparkling eyes and the laughing, trusting faces wear an unchildlike, fearful, sad look. They don’t know what it’s all about, why they can’t have all they’d like to cram, down their little tummies with pudgy hands. Perhaps you’ve seen it. I have. Knowing God has put plenty here for us all to have enough, then cnildren do not have sufficient fooa. Why, this is a crime against humanity. The American people, most of them, ask not much more than plenty to eat, plenty to wear, homes to raise their families in comfort, and a few luxuries. There is plenty for all, and if the government does not soon begin to function honestly and permit its foundation to eat, to work, and retain its self-respect and be happy in living, then it is “high time” that a big improvement be made in that government. M. E. Tracy, in his Aug. 31 article, is crazy as can be. He’s never been hungry. That is the blot and nasty taste in our mouths from an otherwise intelligent editorial page.

SCIENCE

BY DAVID DIETZ

Colloid Chemistry Expected to Lead to Many Discoveries of Importance. CHEMISTS expect many important discoveries of great importance to industry, agriculture, and medicine, to come in the future in the field of colloid chemistry. This is one of the newest fields of investigation and consequently one in which there is yet more to be discovered than is known. The colloid is a sort of "inbetween” state of matter, defying exact attempts at classification. To understand colloids, we first must get in mind the ordinary behavior of matter. Let us suppose that we have dropped a handful of fine sand into a tumbler of water. After a short time, the grains of sand all settle to the bottom. The sand is insoluble in water. On the other hand, let us suppose that we put some table salt in the tumbler of water. The salt disappears entirely from view. We say that it has dissolved In the water. What has happened Is that the crystals of salt have broken down and the Individual molecules of salt now are scattered about among the molecules of the water. In addition, many of the molecules of salt further have broken into electrified atoms known as ions. Between the phenomenon represented by the insolubility of the sand and that represented by the solubility of the salt is the •'in-be-tween” realm of the colloid. n tt tt Held in Suspension IN the colloid, the substance involved is neither dissolved in the liquor nor is it precipitated or thrown down to the bottom. Instead, it remains scattered through the liquid in particles of various sizes. The condition is described technically by saying that the particles are held in suspension. Some colloidal solutions appear to the eye to be true solutions. A number of tests, however, will reveal the difference. For example, when a beam of light is passed through a colloidal solution, the light is scattered in all directions by the colloidal particles. An examination of colloidal solutions with high-powered microscopes has revealed that the colloidal particles are not at rest but in continual motion. These vibratory motions, known as Brownian movements, because a botanist by the name of Robert Brown first noticed them, are the result of bombardment of the colloidal particles by the molecules of the liquid in which they are suspended. It now is thought that it is this molecular bombardment which keeps the particles in suspension. It is interesting to note that Prof. Einstein, in 1905, wo.ked out the mathematical proofs of the Brownian movements. That was one of four pieces of work which the famous German scientist published in 1905. One of the others was the special theory of relativity. Colloidal particles will reflect light and so the same substance In a colloidal condition will yield different colors, depending upon the size of the particles. This is because the size influences the ability to reflect different wavelengths of light. Thus, for example, a colloidal solution of gold may appear either red, green, blue or violet, depending upon size of the colloidal particles. a tt a About Emulsions A- PARTICULARLY important and interesting type of colloidal solution Is known as an emulsion. It consists of two liquids and a third substance known as the emulsifying agent. Let us suppose that some olive oil is mixed with a glass of water. If allowed to stand a little while, the oil separates from the water and floats on top of it. But if a little soap is added to the mixture, the olive oil remains suspended through the water in tiny colloidal drops. The reason is that the molecules of soap have formed little protective coatings around the droplets of oil; because of these coatings the droplets can not unite and coalesce. Consequently the oil remains suspended in the water and a colloid is formed. Mayonnaise dressing is such an emulsion. Olive oil and vinegar will not mix. But the addition of the yolk of an egg furnishes an emulsifying agent and as a result an emulsion is formed. The making of emulsions is an important process today. Various cod liver oil preparations, for example, are emulsions. There are colloids of all sorts. Any condition where one substance is held in suspension in the form of small particles in another, constitutes a colloid. They may consist of solids suspended in gases, as in the case of smoke or dust clouds;; they may consist of liquid droplets suspended in a gas, as in the case of a fog or cloud; they may consist of liquids in liquids, as in the case of emulsions; or of solids in solids, as for example, when metals are used to color glass.

M TODAY #9 IS THE--4 WORLD WAR \ ANNIVERSARY

ALLIED ADVANCE SLACKENS Sept. 9

ON Sept. 9, 1918, the great German retreat from tfie positions won in their spring offensives was virtually complete and fighting was principally of a local nature, with only minor objectives. British forces advanced on a fourmile front south of Havrtncourt wood, taking positions which dominated the wood they had taken the previous day. On other sectors of the British front, activity was confined to trench raids and minor gains. An American advance which had been developing rapidly near St. Gobain practically was stopped by several German reserve divisions. French troops reported minor gains across the Crozat canal. The -vest-bound Canadian liner Missanable was torpedoed in the Atlantic.
