Fun Without Money This winter is a fine time to start a movement that may last longer than the depression, a movement that will have good will and neighborliness as its objective and fun without money as its method. During the last twenty or thirty years, about the time that the automobile changed human habits, there has sprung up the tradition and legend that people must pay to be amused. ' The old art of finding pleasure in groups has almost disappeared. People have forgotten how to play. Athletic contests have become commercialized. Instead of playing ball, people sit in bleachers. Instead of the old time gatherings of neighbors, there are the packed houses of commercial entertainment. These things are all fine and wonderful. But there will be very many people in this and every other city this year who will have no money to spend on amusement and entertainment. There will be larger numbers who will And that the lack of entertainment and mental occupation is worse than a lack of food or clothing and shelter. It is not conceivable that the community will permit men, women and children to starve physically. It is' very probable that most communities will permit large numbers to starve mentally. The press of taxpayers for economy has already eliminated the night schools. Library facilities probably will be curtailed. The whole recreation program is threatened. > It remains for the people to amuse themselves. This can be done by opening schools as community centers' or in the establishment of community clubs in vacant storerooms where meri, women and children can find some escapg for the sordid realities of life and some comfort in companionship. There is talent in every community that can be developed. More than this, by merely joining in groups, people will find the pat# to co-operative effort for material problems much easier. The big nsed this year is fun, decent fun. The demand for the hour is for entertainment without money. The real education needed is the discovery that it is not necessary.to buy mental relaxation. An organization in every precinct of just neighbors who pledge themselves to fincf fun without money will do as much as charity to relieve misery. For most of the unhappiness in this world comes not from physical needs but from mental starvation. Wisconsin Stopped Wisconsin, like Maine and Texas, has done the unexpected by throwing out the ins. It is too bad —for the state and for the country which long has profited by the Wisconsin example—that the La Follette Republican progressives have suffered another setback. The thirty-two years of the La Follettes have contained many such setbacks. 1 The conservative “stalwart” Republicans repeatedly have deposed the progressives from state control. But the gains in social and economic justice never were quite lost. The elder Bob La Follette never gave up. His sons and supporters have his spirit. A defeat only means that renewed efforts are necessary to win next time, and then to go ahead from where the job was left off. The result undoubtedly is a result of the unrest of the depression, and the swing toward the Democrats. Philip La Follette in his 1930 campaign for Governor promised he would do many things to provide work and relief. He did many of them, but he could not do enough. Wisconsin’s unemployed mounted along with that of the rest of the country. His grade-crossing elimination and unemployment insurance bills were enacted, but the program, like any state program, could not avert the national catastrophe of declining pay rolls and fewer jobs. The Democrats, in past years negligible as a party, deserted the La Follette ranks, where they ars usually found at primary time, in huge numbers, because of their own high hopes of carrying the state in November. The prohibition issue was not involved, the congressional candidates being repealists in all cases except in one district. Unless the Democratic candidates pledge themselves to carry on the Wisconsin idea of progressivlsm—and win—it appears that the state’s progress will l* at a standstill for a while. The Disarmament Boycott Between the conflicting reports from Paris and Washington on our government’s policy regarding disarmed Germany, the public is left to make its own guess. Ambassador Edge and Senator Reed are said to have assured Premier Herriott that the United States will stand with France and Qreat Britain against German equality demands. But President Hoover says the Versailles treaty terms are none of our business, that we merely are interested in the success of the disarmament conference. Under the circumstances the reports from Paris may be more reliable than the official White House statement on its face. For the Hoover statement, by urging Germany to remain in the arms parley, in effect if not in words, opposes the German policy of refusing to participate until her right, to armament equality is recognized. The United States, a nonsignatory of the Versailles treaty which disarmed Germany, seems to be saying indirectly what the London and Paris governments have said directly and bluntly. This development, if true, is alarming. Public opinion in this country heartily is in favor of joint arms limitation, but it certainly does not support the dangerously unjust system by which the former allied powers keep Germany disarmed while they themselves increase armaments and wreck world disarmameht conferences. Unfortunately, militarist* again are in power in Germany, but Americans can not forget that it is the militaristic policies of the former allies since the war which largely have killed German pacifism aiid republicanism and elevated the Junker-Fascists. The world disarmament conference, after ten years of preparation and lip service, had plenty of time and plenty of chances to achieve something. But under the domination of France and Britain, the conference rejected the German plan, the Russian plan, the Hoover plan and recessed with nothing. Now a commmittee of that disbanded conference has gone back into session, apparently with the intention of keeping up appearances, but with France and Britain no more ready to permit disarmament than they have ever been. p Therefore, Germany and Russia say they stay

out until the conference—namely, France and Britain, who dominate the conference—is ready to do something more than talk. The Hoover administration may not know it, but this German and Russian attitude of extreme weariness with fake disarmament conferences that never disarm is shared very largely by American citizens. Before the Hoover administration commits the United States to siding with France and Britain, either directly or indirectly, against Germany’s Just demand for Juristic arms equality, the administration should understand that this dispute carries new seeds of war. If France and Britain do not grant Germany’s equality right peacefully, it is only a question of time before Germany goes to war over that issue. Germany is not asking actual arms equality, only a legal equality—which is little enough. # The only explanation we have heard of the apparent Hoover policy of siding against Germany is that indirect American support of the Versailles treaty might induce France and Britain to side with the United States in support of the nine-power treaty against Japanese aggression in China. This strikes us as a very big and very risky gamble. There is no similarity between the Versailles and the nine-power treaties. The Versailles treaty was imposed by force on an unwilling nation by victors—and the United States is not a party to it. The nine-power treaty was a voluntary pact, in which Japan, Britain and France agreed with the United States to uphold the independence and integrity of China. The United States is under no obligation whatever to uphold the iniquitous provisions of the Versailles treaty; and the United States is not obligated to enforce the nine-power treaty, except jointly with the other signatories. If the United States Is stupid enough to let itself get dragged into any Versailles treaty controversy, it might at least tfecall that Germany’s demand for equality is based on that part of the Versailles treaty which pledges the allies to disarm as they are disarming Germany—r> edge which France and Britain have violated to date. But if the United States government is intelligent, it will not permit France and Britain to make it the goat either in Europe or in the far east. \ In the Japanese dispute, it will insist on the joint responsibility of France and Britain for preserving the nine-power treaty, without any further trades, concessions or sacrifices from the United States. * In the disarmament dispute it will permit Germany and Russia, who favor the Hoover disarmament proposal, to boycott any disarmament conference which rejects the Hoover all other concrete disarmament plans. As sovereign nations, Germany and Russia have a right to such action without any interference from us. This boycott may bring the French and British militarists to their senses, now that all other pressure —including American public opinion—has failed, s „ Help the Blind Voter William Nelson Cromwell, president of the American Braille Press, calls the country’s attention to the fact that the coming election makes necessary a little special attention to the needs of the blind. Approximately 114,000 Americans have lost their sight, and among them there are thousands of intelligent adults who wish to vote in the presidential and state elections. Practically all state laws, as Cromwell points out, provide that a blind voter may have assistance when he casts his ballot, either by a friend or by two election officials of opposite political faiths. Here i a point which we should not forget. Those of us who have friends who have lost their fight ought to see to it that they get, on election day, the help which will enable them to carry out their privileges as American citizens. Did you ever notice how verbose some of these “silent” political candidates can become if paid at regular rates by the day’s periodicals? Seventy-five well-known American business men are on a committee investigating the United States war debts. Our only advice is that they hire one good bookkeeper. The United States just has presented the Marne victory memorial to France, as a return gift for the Statue of Liberty. Probably the next gift that passes between the two will have to wait for another war. Scientists say the oyster works twenty hours a day. He must write wisecracks for the newspapers. A railroad has "laid off” five vice-presidents. The unemployment situation must be reaching a crisis.

Just Every Day Sense By Mrs. Walter Ferguson

•‘TkAY son insists he is gQing to a theological school,” IVI said a quite unorthodox mother to me. “Isn’t that strange? Os course, I shall give him every encouragement." It is indeed strange—strange that a college boy of today should be interested in combining religion with science, as this one is. Yet never has there been a graver need for educated and intellectual preachers. The theologian and the scientist have fought long enough. There must be young men coming on who can visualize what future religion must be, who *can imagine how the joining of these two powerful forces would awaken interest in the universal Deity, some god who watched the mountains from through eons of time, who saw man evolve from the beast, a god who would be removed immeasurably from creeds or organizations, a central fount whence flows all living force, and to whose being all returns again. To a boy with vision, this field offers tremendous possibilities and great rewards. Not in dollars perhaps. But in the real satisfaction that follow efforts to help one’s fellows. m * m AT present the country is cluttered up with intellectually immature ministers, with individuals who go up and down haranguing in Billy Sunday manner, frightening the ignorant with hell Are and divine vengeance, and with good, but superannuated men who long since have lost touch with, modem problems and are entirely inadequate to lead younger men and women into spiritual paths. And religion is booked for a return. Make no mistake about that. We are tired of all these ugly immoralities, tired of obscenity and wise-cracking. The people are beginning to clamor for sustenance for their souls, as well as food for their bodies. So perhaps, after our floundering in the mire of doubt, there shall come to us anew vision of beauty, of peace and of immortality. At any rate, there must be spiritual leaders as well as political leaders, if our future is to be secure. And only the young men can furnia£ either.

“Money Is Not the God We Took It For, Nor h Credit the. Good Angel" NEW YORK, Sept. 22.—Senator Borah thinks that farm debts should be revised downward. Measured by the ability to pay, they should, and so should most every kind of debt. Farmers are little worse off than city people when it comes to loss of earning power. If wheat is down, so are wages in the building trades. If the cotton grower finds it difficult to make both ends meet, so does the shopkeeper. We are dealing with high money all along the line, which means that a given amount of money is much harder to get than it was three or lour years ago. Money has no fixed value, except on the face of a note, bond or mortgage. Money in the open market is worth what it will buy. It will buy a good deal more this year than it did in 1928. Those who need it to pay debts must sell a good deal more. Debts comparatively are easy to pay on a rising market, but the creditor loses. When the market turns, debtors lose. / There seems no way out of this manifest difficulty, unless some method is found to fixe prices, or to adjust credit to the constant fluctuation of values. nun Credit System Weakens FINANCIERS started something when they began to talk about the ability to pay as the proper basis on which to revises international debts. Nations are entitled to no more consideration on that ground than are individuals. If a government should be relieved because it has signed more notes than it can meet, why shouldn't common folks? Post-war chaos has revealed a startling weakness in our credit system. We suddenly discover that the fluctuation of values, the ups and downs of commerce, the changes which affect income, have a definite bapring on debt. We discover that our method of declaring that a state, a corporation, or a person owes so much, regardless of conditions, simply does not work.

Money Fails as God THIS is the first world-wide slump that has occurred since mass protraction, organized industry and pooled wealth gained- the ascendency in human affairs. It is playing havoc with some of our pec theories. * Money is not the god we took it for, nor is credit the good angel. In spite of our elaborate systems of accounting and cost-fixing, we wholly are unable to tell what will happen when some great market collapses, or some major trade current is blocked. Our most comprehensive ledgers gave no hint that stocks were about to crash when they were balanced for the months of August three years ago. The reason is that they make no allowance for the vagaries of climate, custom and human nature. They are kept on the assumption that a dollar is a dollar, no matter what happens, or how hard the average man must work to get it. # # n Dream for Posterity IF we could increase wages and prices continuously, debt would present no great problem, but that appears to be impossible. The introduction of new products, the discovery of new processes and, above all else, the ceaseless change habit create a competition whicn no trust, or monopoly can stifle. Many of our greatest industries are based on inventions, or devices that were not known seventy-five or even fifty years ago. The law of supply and demand has become subordinate to human ingenuity. Room is made for new enterprises by the destruction of old pnes. What becomes of the notes, bonds and mortgages? War represents an even greater element of variation. Our only hope of fixed values lies in fixed conditions and fixed ideas, and who wants that? No one, of course, but the alternative is to find some scientific method of keeping debt and credit in line with the general price and wage level—a dream for prosperity to interpret.

People’s Voice

Editor Times—l notice ever and anon your editorial jabs at Franklin D. Roosevelt. I for one enter a protest. It takes lots of nerve for a paper pursuing the course of The Times to try to dictate th£ policies of candidate Roosevelt. A paper that tool: great pride in being the first to point the way to the great engineer, four years ago, now tries to tell us w# needed the man it helped defeat. And because the Democratic part 7 doesn’t see fit to follow your suggestions now, you have brass, to try to dictate the kind of speeches Mr. Roosevelt is to make. Why don’t you try to smoke out Hoover ad make him clarify his attitude on the great question of the campaign? Stick to him, you helped produce him. In the meantime, our progressive candidate will let the country know in no uncertain manner his stand on every vital issue in this campaign. When he gets ready he’ll talk tariff and other matter you are worried about. It doesn’t look becoming for you to even suggest, let alone dictate, what Franklin D. Roosevelt has to say in any manner whatsoever. You’re just trying again to elect Hoover. ELDON D. SHAUL, Russiaville, Ind. Editor Times—Senator Watson, who is running for re-election, stated in a speech at Peru and, if cor- ; rectly quoted, “I voted for the pay- | ment of the first half of the soli diers’ bonus.” Jim Watson lied and ! again he did not vote as he stated, i What he did was to vote for it on the first time it came through the senate and when Hoover vetoed it he 1 was one of the few who voted to sustain the President’s veto. Perhaps Jim had his mind on sugar while making his speech. Jim will bq like the horse I always bet on. “He also ran” after November. JERRY BURNS.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE Peril in Parathyroid Gland Removal

This is the third of a series of five special articles by Dr. Fishbein on the part the glands play In the human body. BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia, the Health Magaxine. THE small nodules of tissues called the parathyroid glands are found in pairs on the back surface of the two portions of the thyroid gland. Removal of the parathyroid glands results in production of convulsions and an excessive sensitivity of the nervous system. Associated with this there is a spasm of all the muscular tissue in the body, including that of the heart and the bowels, as well as the bronchial tubes. Again one must differentiate between complete absence of the se-

THE most poignantly tragic figure always must be drawn from the ranks of the uncomprehending. Very often the edge of our pity is dulled even in the case of Shakespeare’s children, because too many of them are well aware of their own dramatic stature. We could weep more for Hamlet if he were not so exceedingly well prepared to weep for himself. In many of the Shakespearean tragedies, the major part of my sympathy goes to one of the lesser figures. I am moved by the plight of those people at whom fate lunges suddenly and without preliminary fanfare. * When I read “Romeo and Juliet” for the first time I realized from the beginning that no good could come to the young man or the young woman. The black spot had been tipped to them even before they stood in the moonlight and talked of love. Accordingly, they said nothing which was not profoundly and self-consciously suitable for travelers on such a road. n So It Was With Pericles BUT Mercutio met his fate around the bend of a horseshoe cu ve. For him there was no breathing spell in which he might posture and thus make the mighty accident of destruction seem no

cretion of these glands and partial absence. A relative absence of this ganduular material is again associated with fatigue and slowness of growth, a tendency to exaggerated reactions of muscles and nerves, and a lowering of the amount of calcium in the blood. At the same time there is a thickening of the bones of the skull or, in other cases,- a failure to utilize calcium properly with degenerative changes in the bones. Such patients tend to lose weight and to have a spasmodic cough. There also are disorders of behavior, associated with the changes in the nervous system. When the condition is properly diagnosed and treated by administration of suitable preparations of the parathyroid gland and of sufficient amounts of calcium, there is

more than an appropriate figure in a pattern of his own design. His was an aimless death. No lofty pertinence softened its absurdity. ISven his last words were a stammered half-phrase from a sentence. The dying Romeo said (in part): “Come, bitter conduct; come, unsavory guide! “Thou desperate pilot, now at once run on “The dashing; rocks thy sea-sick weary bark! “Here’s to my love!—O true apothecary! Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die.” v * u Not Without Practice NOW that is admirable, of course, but decidedly it is not impromptu. One can not help realizing that Romeo must have rehearsed his death a little in advance. When the moment came, he was prepared magnificently. Indeed, he accepted it so superbly that it is only reasonable to suppose that he must have enjoyed his own proficiency in the art of dying. Shakespeare could not conceive of tragedy save as a full stop. He needed shears as well as pen. To him tragedy meant being killed, committing suicide or going mad. The deeper and more deadly tragedy of the man or woman who lives on and on was not within his repertoire. Younger dramatists have found that often there is more poignancy in the tale of an individual into whose life there enters nothing of violence. He may be truly tragic even though he seems to suffer not at all. The fat and the contented readily may command and need a greater mead of pity than any lean and

lessened tension, a decrease in irritability, and a disappearance of fatigue. Sleep becomes more normal and the conduct of the patient improves. Sudden and severe overactivity of these glands, as occurs rarely brings about extended changes in the human body. The bones may become porous, the bones of the spine fall together with the production of a “hump back.” There are pains in the joints and a general breakdown of the body. Surgic&i removal of portions of the glands and the giving of sufficient amounts of calcium tend to overcome this condition.

hungry lot. Perhaps the most pitiful of all protagonists is the person who is fully resigned to his fate. Didn't Know'Twas Loaded OUR friend Mercutio was not resigned. He did not even see the hammer blow of annihilation until it fell upon him. He belongs to the great and piteous army of the innocent bystanders, for the quarrel in which he died was not his own and came out to challenge him with a suddenness against which there was no honorable escape. • A squirrel tearing around in his little circular* treadmill evidently is having no end of fun. He is quite convinced that he is off upon a journey. To him the illusion of progress is so perfect that he may crinkle#his nose, wag his tail or indicate his delight by any other mannerism customary to squirrels. No doubt he is under the firm illusion that his yast energy constitutes progress. I have no doubt that he labels himself a liberal. And he is a tragic figure. u n tt Life Among Baptists JUST once Shakespeare did write a tragic play about a character who lived on after the final curtain. He told one tale in which the plight of the central figure depended upon the fact that the man was compelled to continue and to play out a role to which he was neither suited nor accustomed. Length of days merely served to heighten the pitifuiness of his harsh fate. Shylock left the courtroom condemned to be a Christian. (Copyright. 1932. by The Times)

SCIENCE BY DAVID DIETZ

Scientist Is Convinced That Cosmic Rays Are Electrons. RECENT announcements concerning cosmic rays and atomic disintegration bring to mind the old familiar story about the man who called up his lawyer and explained his difficulties. “They can't put you in jail for that,” the lawyer reassured his client. . “Oh. yes?” responded the client. 'l’m 'telephoning from the jail right now.” Returning from the Arctic Circle, where he made observations of the cosmic rays. Professor Arthur Compton announces that the rays a f e *J* e^ected * n neighborhood of the north magnetic pole in such way as to convince him that thev are particles, namely, electrons, the fundamental particles of negative electricity. But the well-known penetrating powers of the cosmic rays is something which physicists never have associated with electrons. Cosmic rays are able to penetrate six feet of lead. The most powerful X-rays are stopped by a few jnches of lead. Electrons never hat’e been known in experiments to penetrate more than a thin sheet of metal as for example the aluminum “window” in certain types of vacuum tubes. Since cosmic rays were so much more penetrating than X-rays it was assumed that they were waves like X-rays, but thousands of times snorter. thll the Co l mlc ra >’ s are electrons. sriPnlift? u d °} ag somet hmg that couTdn't do SUPPOMd elec,rons

About the Neutron O™ experiments which.upsel Vs. accepted notion of atomic beEngland nClUde thoSe ° f Chadwick in ww, 'n t2 i at certain substances, when bombarded with the alpha rays of radium, gave off swift-mov-ing particles of great penetrating power. These particles, however, exhibit no electric charge Consequently, he called these particles neutrons. The old theory has been advanced that the neutron is a close union of a proton, the funoamental partide 0 f positive electricity with an electron, the fundamental particle of negative electricity. ° thar experiments have shown that the alpha particles of radium do not come off with equal intensities, but with a variety of velocities. In still other experiments, substances bombarded with alpha particles of radium have emitted alpha particles in their turn, which moved with much greater velocities than onginal bombarding particles. The problem of accounting for the energies of these long-range alpha particles, as they are called, is a difficult one. Here again is a case of atoms behaving in a way which physicists thought they couldn't. To some observers, this may be a disturbing state of affairs. But to my way of viewing the situation it is a most encouraging and hopeful one. Within recent years, many physicists have been talking about the hopelessness of making any model of the atom. They said that the atom defied attempts at picturing it. Asa result, they took refuge in mathematical equations, speaking of six-dimensional space, and ten-di-mensional space, and so on. na Picture Puzzle IT’S now beginning to look as though maybe we didn’t have all the facts about the atom at hand. Maybe one reason we couldn’t fit together the atomic picture-puzzle was because some of the parts still were missing. It may as well be admitted at once that the new facts so far unearthed don’t help very much in making a model of the atom at the present moment. Perhaps, they make it more difficult than ever. Bui since Compton’s discovery is only a few weeks old and Chadwick’s discovery only a few months old, we shouldn’t be surprised at that. The point is that new facts are coming to light and therefore we should be hopeful for the future. With regard to atomic models, it is reassuring to know that some of our models are correct as far as they go. The chemist, from the behavior of certain chemical compounds, made pictures of their molecules, picturing just the way the atoms of various chemical elements were struck together to make these molecules. Later, the X-ray study of crystals by Laue and the Braggs indicated that molecules indeed were actually built up of atoms in these ways. But molecules absorb certain wave-lengths of light and otherwise furnish characteristic spectra. The question, therefore, arose as to whether the dynamic behavior of molecules was consistent witSi the X-ray picture of their structure. Recently scientists at Johns Hopkins university made models of molecules. Steel balls were used for atoms and steel springs for the attractive forces between them. Suitable mechanisms were devised to vibrate these models and their behavior was noted. The way in which the models vibrated corresponded to their known spectra.

BIG BRITISH VICTORY Sept. 22.

ON Sept. 22, 1918, British troops located in Asia Minor scored one of the biggest victories of its campaign. The Turkish army between the Jordan and the Mediterranean virtually was wiped out, the British advancing sixty miles from their original positions. At the end of the advance, the troops held Nazareth, El Afule, and Beisan. In a heated battle, British and Greek troops in the Balkans engaged Germans and Bulgars on a front of ninety miles near Prilep. This was the start of an encounter that was to last {or several days. Bulgaria was reported to have opened peace negotiations with the allies, but this rumor was put to naught by German authorities.
