SMALL LOAN INTEREST Once again the question of how much institutions which lend money in amounts under S3OO shall be permitted to charge as interest is before the legislature. At the present time the law allows 42 per cent a year, admittedly a rate which would destroy any business or industry if borrowed for purposes of operation. But this money is borrowed by those whose chief business is keeping alive, borrowed in desperation and in emergencies. That the business has been more than usually profitable in the past is evidenced by the large numbers who have gone into it. All that is required is a license of good moral character, if any public official is capable of passing on such a subject. No one of the companies is compelled to file a report with the state. There is no official information on what profits are made, how much money is loaned in this manner, how great are the losses because of failure to pay. The question of what Is a fair rate of interest has become a matter of debate between money lenders and those who object that the present legal rate is intolerable and too heavy for those who least can afford to pay. The commission which recommended changes in the banking laws made no worthwhile suggestions as to reforms, and reforms are admittedly needed. That commission did not attempt to pass upon, but did by inference indorse the present rate of interest. Bills in former legislatures have been mysteriously killed, although they have been presented at recurring sessions. Some of the measures have undoubtedly been introduced in bad faith, in behalf of lobbyists later hired to suppress them. Others presented a popular demand. One suggestion of control which seems worth consideration is a graduated rate of interest on the amount of the loan. Obviously it casts more to give and collect a loan of $lO than it does one of S3OO, figured in percentages. If the 42 per cent is fair to the $lO borrower, it is unfair to the S3OO borrower. The first reform should be to drag the whole business out into the open and make it subject to official scrutiny. No license should be issued to those who refuse to give the public the facts, for, after all, if it has any justification in the social order, it is a public business, dealing with the most delicate relationships of life. The power to fix an interest rate might be left to a banking board or a banking inspector, with power of review by the Governor. Before any law is passed, the whole business should be brought out into the open. The companies should have a chance to defend their rates, if they can, and defend them openly, not in huddles with legislators. The people, too, should have a chance to speak and make emphatic their demands that this business be not permitted to place heavy burdens upon desperate people. In the meanwhile, the credit union idea is fast growing and the day may arrive when co-operative lending may make the whole business obsolete and unprofitable. TWO MILLION JOBS WAITING As Secretary of Agriculture Hyde prepares to step out of the cabinet, he waxens at last to the possibility of national forests employing idle men at work of definite value to the nation. A year ago Mr. Hyde was laughing merrily at suggestions by Franklin D. Roosevelt that this be done. Today, in response to questioning from another New Yorker interested in public employment, Senator Wagner, Mr. Hyde reports that work waiting to be done in the national forests alone could keep two million men busy for a month. He finds that the cost of this work, based on wages of $3.60 a day in the west and $2.40 a day in the east, would cost only H 50.000.000. or half of the amount provided last summer for hunger loans. For this money the United States would receive protection of the national forests from their most deadly enemy, fire. Fences would be built to protect ranges. Water resources would be developed. Public camps would be Improved. New trees would be planted to replace denuded areas, and eradication of insects and plant diseases would be hastened. It is hard to think of a better way in which $150,000,000 might be invested. It would save the nation many times that sum in preventing floods, checking erasion, holding back silt, keeping farm lands fertile and conserving timber supplies, to say nothing of the saving in huger doles and the preservation of self-respect in two million men. able to take care of their families for a brief time at least. Wagner's query and Hyde's response have paved the way for action, which should be undertaken at once by congress. CO-OPERATION IS NEEDED Os all the many steps which must be taken before the war debt problem is disposed of. only one is simple and easy. That Is intelligent co-operation between the President and the President-elect, For two and a half months that sfcep was delayed. Now—if we are to credit unofficial reports of the White House conversation Friday—that step has been taken. Official negotiations, of course, must wait until March 4. as made clear by the White House statement. But essential preparatory work can be carried on semi-officially. Great Britain and others will not be told on March 4 that the new administration has no knowledge of and no interest in what has occurred before that date. Details of this arrangement are meager. That is unimportant. All that the public need know is that the lame duck system no longer is blocking the conduct of American foreign relations. Indeed. It may be better that the details of the co-operation between Mr. Hoover and Mr. Roosevelt remain confidential, so the partisan-minded supporters of neither can make political profit out of the situation. The important thing is that pieparation for the long, hard negotiations begin now. In fyirch the

new President will be busy organizing his administration. In April he will be calling and dealing with a special session of congress, which probably will be meeting for several months, trying to balance the budget, levy new taxes, pass farm repeal prohibition, and cope with the depression. By that time the world economic conference will be meeting in London and the far eastern crisis will demand attention. But, meanwhile, the day of wholesale default on foreign debts will be approaching rapidly. When the summer debt payments fall due, the debtors will default—unless anew settlement has been made. Such a settlement can not be made over night. Several months, at best, are required for the negotiations, which will cover not only debts, but tariffs and disarmament as well. Hence the time element is vital. The American public understands that France and five other debtors defaulted in December, when Great Britain and others paid. But the public does not understand that the British in making the December payment said it was the last payment under the present terms. So We have had fair warning. If we come to next summer without having afforded the debtors sufficient time to negotiate the settlement they have been requesting for months, we shall be to blame for the general default that results. Default will hurt the debtors, but it will hurt us. as the creditors, much more. For that reason, it is to be hoped that the unofficial reports of an effective time-saving arrangement between the President and President-elect are true. Obviously. Norman H. Davis, who is the close adviser of Mr. Roosevelt and still the official representative of Mr. Hoover, and who attended Friday's White House conference, is capable of handling the debt liaison work—whether he is to be the new secretary of state or not. FOR MUSCLE SHOALS Another official party is going to Muscle Shoals. But unlike the commissions and boards that have viewed that great power project during the last twelve years with no tangible results except talk, this group is composed of men who are likely to do things. It will be led by President-Elect Roosevelt; it will include Senator George Norris of Nebraska, who has battled for years for the Shoals. This group wants to put Muscle shoals to work; a majority, apparently, want to let the government that owns it start the operation. That is the sensible and efficient thing to do, as Norris has been insisting these yea v s. A President who vetoed the Norris plan will leave the White House on March 4, to be supplanted by a President who has indicated he favors the Norris plan. If Mr. Roosevelt has any doubt about the feasibility of Senator Norris’ proposal for governmental operation of the Shoals, a personal survey of that great virtually idle power plant should resolve it in favor of the Nebraskan's plan. For that is the way out. Norman Thomas, the country's No. 1 Socialist, says that w’hat this country needs most is more kibitzers to sit on the sidelines and criticise the way the country’s being run. It might be possible to recruit a few more kibitzers, but finding them room to sit is plainly preposterous. British scientists are planning anew attempt to flash messages to Mars. We don’t know what system of communication the war god uses, but he seems to keep business humping on old Mother Earth oblivious of static, storms and low visibility. Senator Copeland proposes barring alien actors and chorus girls from our shores. He forgets that chorines always have been among the staunchest supporters of the gold standard. American midgets are asking protection against competition by foreign Lilliputians, contending thej ve felt the depression like other show people. As much as the circus fat lady, do you suppose? “Ma" Ferguson has every one’s beet wishes as she assumes the governorship of Texas again. But it will be interesting to see what happens if Texas and Oklahoma get to squabbling about oil again and “Alfalfa Bill” tries to tell “Ma” what to do. At any rate, revival of scrip and bartering should silence those wiseacres who have a habit of slapping you on the back and saying; Don’t take any wooden nickels!”

Just Plain Sense ■ BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

“SUBTLY and diplomatically,” writes an agitated gentleman, “women have entered every field of endeavor. They control 70 per cent of national wealth and this gives them almost tyrannical power. “The greatest fallacy committed by the voters of the country was to grant suffrage to women and put them on a par with men. The consequences have been disastrous.” Disastrous to whom, may I ask? Certainly not to women, if we are to take these words as truth. And so long as there are now many more women on earth than men, it seems to me that this may prove nothing more startling than that victory goes to the strong—a pet masculine contention, you will remember. Thirteen years is a very short time in the history of a country. And if in thirteen years American women have been able to grab 70 per cent of money from the men—who also seem quite fond of having it—and of taking jobs right out from under male noses, then I think tvere pretty smart. Indeed, it strikes me that we deserve suffrage more than the gentlemen do. especially if we are to judge the question by the benefits we ourselves have derived from it. a a a /CERTAINLY to force such astute and determined creatures into retirement, now when we stand in dire need of subtlety and diplomacy and acumen in our relationships with other countries, would be a very short-sighted policy. If we're so expert—and has not the gentleman argued that?—why not put us into the cabinet and see what we can do? Obviously it would be absurd to restrict our powers to mere kitchen work, as he advocates. Upon sober second thought. I feel sure he will reverse his opinion. For. according to all our leaders, we want, more than anything else these days, power, intelligence, jobs, money, prosperity for America and Americans. That being the case, perhaps it would be well to turn everything over to the ladies for a time. If we are able by sheer force of personality and wit to take away his rights and his money from the splendiferous American man in only thirteen years, we could have the world in out pockets within the next half century.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

■ i" ■ SCIENCE— Plant Preserves Teeth BY DAVID DIETZ

A PLANT that is alleged to preP*~ vent tooth decay just has been brought back to the Smithsonian Institution of Washington by Dr. W. A. Archer, famous explorer and botanist. Dr. Archer found it in use by the Citara tribe of Choco Indians in the raindrenched jungles of northwestern Colombia. The Indians, according to Dr. Archer, insist that the plant is a tooth preservative, and he says further that the Indians he examined exhibited almost perfect teeth. There is one drawback, however, to the use of the plant. It turns the teeth jet black. The plant has been identified as anew species of Schradera, a member of the coffee family. The Indians chew the leaves of the plant until it has discolored their teeth and formed a jet black film over them. The film lasts about six months. At the end of that period, they take anotner “chew.” Dr. Archer found that the Indians considered black teeth beautiful and viewed his white ones as the mark of strange taste on his part. Among other strange plants brought Dack by Dr. Archer is a new one which has been given the scientific name of “Siparuna archeri.” It is a shrub about ten feet high, which blooms with beautiful pale-green flowers resembling orchids. These blossoms develop into fruit resembling small pears but with bright red cheeks. When fully ripe, these fruits burst open and give off- a strong lemon odor. While the fruits look tempting, the natives insist that they are poisonous. a tt a Kerosene Tree ANOTHER interesting plant discovered by Dr. Archer is known as the "kerosene tree.” The natives tap it and use the sap in lamps like kerosene. He reports that it gives quite a satisfactory light. During the past year, explorers Questions and Answers Q —What is Indian red? A—An important pigment used by artists and house painters. Originally it was natural earth, rich in oxide of iron, brought from India. The color varies from a purple to a light yellowish-red, according to the temperature at which the process is conducted. Q —What is the difference between bonded whisky and moonshine? A—Bonded whisky is stored in a bonded warehouse under federal supervision. The warehouses are under bond not to permit withdrawal of the liquor until the revenue tax has been paid. Moonshine is distilled liquor, made in an unlicensed still, on which no tax has been paid.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE Liquid Diet Given in Pneumonia BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN -■ - -

This is the last of five articles bv Dr. Fishbein on pneumonia, its treatment and precautions to curb its spread. IN pneumonia, as in any serious infection, the diet must be chiefly liquids, such as soups, gruels, milk and soft boiled eggs. Occasionally it is well to add milk sugar to keep up the energy. Rest and quiet are more important even than nourishment in the serious stages of pneumonia. When recovery has begun, feeding is* gradually extended to aid the improvement of the blood and the broken-down tissues. It is well for patients with pneumonia to have plenty of water—not much more, however, than two to three quarts a day. The patient will not drink unless the water is given to him when he is quite sick. Under such circumstances, It perhaps ip best to give water with a teaspocta, giving small amounts

from the Smithsonian Institution have visited many parts of the world. Mammals, birds, fishes, corals, snails, sponges and other forms of life have been studied'by these scientific adventurers in all parts of the globe. One of them, Alan Mozley, has been exploring the steppes river basins of Siberia in a search for new varieties of snails. Two others, W. G. Sheldon and Richard Bordon, went to the Peace river territory of British Columbia in search of little known varieties of mountain sheep. They brought back a collection of 146 mammals to the museum. Dr. Hugh M. Smith brought back many species of animals and fishes, previously unknown, from Siam. The object of all these explorations, officials of the Smithsonian Institution point out, is to discover and make known what living things actually exist. It is impossible to tell, they say, at what time any of this information may take on sudden and considerable importance to human welfare. The searches of the institution include the fossil remains of ancient forms of life as well. Expeditions have been hunting extinct animals in the fossil beds of Montana and Wyoming, in Puerto Rico and in Europe. a a a Study the Sun ALL expeditions from the ■P*- Smithsonian Institution, however, are not interested in the subject of biology. One search during the last year was to find the highest and driest spot in the eastern hemisphere. The site was wanted for an astronomical observatory, at which the sun's radiation could be measured daily. This search ended with the choice of Mt. St. Catherine on the Sinai peninsula, not far from Mt. Sinai, in fact, some Biblical authorities think that it is much more likely that the mountain which Moses is said to have ascended was Mt, St. Catherine and not Mt. Sinai. The Smithsonian Institution now maintains a number of observatories in different parts of the world, where fluctuations in the amount of heat and light radiated by the sun are recorded daily. Dr. Charles G. Abbot, the secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, and himself a famous astronomer. believes that the day will come when it will be possible to predict weather for long periods of time from a study of the sun’s radiation. Other expeditions collected rare minerals in Mexico and prehistoric tools and weapons from Europe. During 1932 a total of 157,870 specimens were added to the United States National Museum. The national museum is supported by the United States government but is operated by the Smithsonian institution. The institution is headed by a board of regents, of which the chancellor is Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes.

frequently, or to have the patient suck small pieces of ice. Os greatest importance in the treatment of pneumonia is the care of a competent physician. He himself must direct the nursing and determine its value. He must administer proper remedies at the proper time to support the extra work of the heart, to relieve stress from the circulation, to permit the patient to sleep, and to control the actions of bowels, skin and all other organs. There is no substitute of any kind for the type of care that a well-trained physician can give in this disease. a a a USE of oxygen in treatment of pneumonia has been elaborated oblate and is found to beexceediJPly valuable.

Times Readers Voice Views ... Editor Times —In reply to the letter written by E. A. Bell in Wednesday's paper, in regard to narrow-mindedness, I wish to state that I am a daily passenger on the so-called Illinois-Shelby line. My experiences to date have been a thirty-minute wait in below zero temperature after this service was inaugurated, and forced to stand morning and evening, when for 7 cents one is entitled to a seat. I have seen as many as 106 fares rung up on one run south of Washington street before any passenger was discharged. These cars seat about fifty persons. The new street cars are o. k. if they didn’t take half the cars off the line of Shelby street. I noticed while waiting at Illinois and Washington for a Shelby car, there was an abundance of Illi-nois-Union station and UlinoisMapleton cars, and all that north side service, but for the immense vicinity of the Shelby line, I think it is an outrage to force working people to wait twenty minutes in the evening after a hard day's work. What we need is more cars on this line; any kind is preferable. Even the well-known "dinky” would be appreciated. In closing, I wish to dwell on the safety idea Mr. Bell speaks of. The motorman can not control these cars and operate them safely with people standing, because he does not know when to close the doors after passengers have been discharged at the middle door, but had to call on the passengers for an o. k. to close this door, because he could not see it. The only way to overcome this difficulty is to increase the number of cars on the Shelby line, if only during the morning and evening rush hours. R. E. MORRIS.

It Seems to Me .... by Heywood Broun

-pRANKLIN D- ROOSEVELT has expressed the opinion that one of the best immediate remedies for unemployment is to get as many people back to the land as possible. It seems to me that it makes a good deal of difference just who is going where and what they will do when they get there. Obviously it will hardly help to have more corn, wheat, or cotton grown upon land which nqw lies fallow. The farmer is just about the most unhappy member of the entire community. In many cases he hasn't even been able to keep from going hungry. With a little bad luck in the weather he can come as close to starvation as any city chap. a a tt It Worked for One Man Last summer I had a letter from a man who said he had made the experiment of returning

Tents have been developed which may be placed over the patients as they lie in bed, and many large hospitals have oxygen rooms into which the entire bed may be moved and in which the nurse may remain and attend the patient. Medicine has, of late, developed specific serums which are shown definitely to attack the organisms causing pneumonia and to overcome their toxins. The physician in attendance must be responsible for selecting the serum suitable to the case concerned. This he does most efficiently when he is able to determine promptly the type of organism causing the disease. In certain types of pneumonia the serum is not as valuable as in others. Apparently the best result* at present are secured in cases of Type 1. which constitutes approximately 35 per cent of ail cases.

M.E. Tracy Says:

PEACE TALK fS EMPTY BISK

CtHINESE towns are falling fast, but not faster ' than our dumb dreams in the power of talk to preserve peace. This is war, though no one admits it —war for conquest and expansion, with no genuine issue at stake save that of organized greed. Japan started out to exploit Manchuria. She could not do the Job thv way she wanted to. because of Chinese interference. The rest of the story is a mere hodgepodge of technical excuses.

Manchuria has been ripped away from China and given a puppet government. The puppet government will last just as long as it serves Japan's interests, and no longer. What the people of Manchuria want cuts no figure. The League of Nations has protested, inquired, and reported, with the probable withdrawal of Japan and the possible withdrawal of China to show for its pains. The Orient does not understand us. which is a logical consequence of our failure to understand the Orient. 1 nun Both Know They Were Fooled CHINA took it for granted that western nations would protect her integrity. Japan proceeded cautiously at first, on the assumption that this might be true. Now both China and Japan know that they were fooled. Worse than that, millions of well-meaning people throughout the civilized world have experienced a similar letdown. No doubt these well-meaning people expected too much. They should have made allowance for the normal reservations and evasions of statecraft. It requires familiarity with the game, as well as an elastic conscience, to understand politicians and diplomats. We were promised peace if it didn't cost too much. The stage was set as a sop to idealism. As Einstein points out, the boys in charge merely are trying to revise the rule of conflict. In this respect, they are reflecting the real sentiment of those below. Few of us are as thoroughly sold on peace as we would like to believe. We want it. of course, but only to the extent that it can be brought about by agreements-which involve little risk or expense. ana Shy at Obligations That Contain Teeth WE are not prepared to pay the price for peace that our ancestors paid for nationalism. We shy at obligations or commitments with teeth in them. If Japan insists on going ahead after we have told her not to —why, that's that; and if China suffers, it’s just too bad. We are not going to send any of our boys across the Pacific to stop an Asiatic row; no, siree. We are not even willing to start a boycott. We will, however, put the case on file for future reference, and if opportunity ever crops out to take retaliatory measures without exposing ourselves to injury, we may take them. I am not quarreling with such attitude, because it is historically , consistent with human nature, but I can not feel proud of the attempt to disguise it with lip music, to pretend that it is different from what it was twenty years ago.

Every Day Religion ■' BY DR. JOSEPH FORT NEWTON

/"\N a crisp autumn morning in the country, years ago, I overtook a tramp on the road, and we talked as we walked together. There was something in the kindly, harmless fellow, 50odd years old, to arrest and amuse, something to like withal, shirker that he was, drifting hither and yon without obligation or aim. As we parted I asked him if he was going south, like the birds, and this is what I heard: “Yep, headed south this trip; Memphis, mabbe, if I don't lay off sooner. I guess I'm what you call a bum, partner, but I ain’t as bad as some of ’em. Never was in jail more than two or three times, and then mostly by getting caught in bad company. Yes, I’ve been hittin’ the road for a good while, nigh forty years; but I held a feller has a right to live the way he wants to. as long as he lets other folks alone. “No, I haven't any people. That’s one reason I took up this way of livin’. But see here, I ain't complainin’. I've had a heap more fun than most of ’em. No, I don't booze: at least not lately. I’ve learned more sense than that.” a a a yes,” he went on, after V-/ pausing a little, “I might have settled down and got married and raised a lot of kids that I couldn’t take care of. same as a lot of fellers. But 1 didn't and I am glad I didn't. “Partner, I've been good to my family by not gittin’ them into the game. They say kids come from heaven, and I jest thought I’d leave mine stay there.

to the land and that he had managed to make a go of it. After being out of work for a year, he took his small remaining capital and sank it all in the purchase of a semi-abandoned farm somewhere in New Hampshire. He and his family repaired the house and then began the arduous task of raising stuff on which they could keep going. My friend informed me that he had not seen money for weeks and months and was very doubtful as to whether he ever would again. The children were out of their clothes and out of their shoes, and even the stamp upon the letter was obtained at the nearest store by a process of barter. Yet in spite of the fact that the little household had practically no purchasing power, they had been able to keep ■warm and avoid hunger. I rather think it was an exceptional family. Besides, there was the nest egg to begin with, even though it happened to be a tiny one. Mostly when people speak of getting the unemployed back to the land they seem to go along on the theory that it is possible to take some jobless individual and set him in the middle of a meadow with the cheery advice, “There you are. Now go and make a living for yourself.’’ a a a Reluctance No Mystery T HAVE heard social workers complain with great bitterness that men in lodging houses and on breadlines often refuse to accept offers to go to work somewhere on somebody's farm. I easily can understand this reluctance. “Very often it comes from the perfectly sound feeling on the part of the individual that he will be a complete failure on this new "assignment.

This world's* a pretty big place, but we’ll git through it somehow, don't you reckon?” There are many such, more than we imagine, not only those who flip trains and frequent soup houses. There are intellectual bums, spiritual shirkers, moral parasites who are as aimless and indifferent to the great obligations of life as that wandering loafer by the roadside. A hobo is a man who takes out of life more than he puts into it, whether he rides in a limousine or shuffles along a dusty country road. (Copyright, 1933. United Features Syndicate Inc t

it. This is particularly so during a period in which many who have lived on the land for generations are losing their farms to the tax collectors and the mortgage holders. Debt, which is stifling industry throughout America, hardly has spared the farm from its pressure. I'm a farmer myself in a" miniature way. There are four acres in the estate and I suppose one or two of them might be tilled if you knew how to begin. Possibly I’m not doing myself justice. I know how to begin, but the second step in the process of raising a crop is mysterious so far as In* concerned. My plantation happens to be is Connecticut. If you want any* thing to grow, you first must re* move the rocks which lie clustered along the surface of the soil. Then you start digging to get at the second layer of rocks. Below them are other rocks and so on to infinity, as far as I know. a a a Should Be Enough There must be a point where enough rocks have been dis-. lodged and it becomes possible to wedge a few seeds in between the crevices. But somebody would have to tell me that. And I would need to know when the first tiny shoots pressed up from the damp earth wh’ch , green tokens were infant turnups and which were golden rod. But even if I. had a whole field of turnips in full blossom and a radish bed as well, I hardly think that I would feel secure in a highly competitive world. And so I I have grown nothing.
