DRIVING OUT BUSINESS There is no pretense on the part of its backers that the proposed increase of taxes on chain stores is for the purpose of raising revenues. Yet the measure is almost a law, placing a heavy tax on any one who owns more than ten distributing places. The purpose of the law is to drive out the chain store for the benefit of the independent owners. Yet the independent owners who are wise have adopted the measures which made the chains possible. By co-operative buying, they are meeting the competition. The cost of living decreases. The fear of monopoly is gone. Through the passage of the sales tax and other levies, the take of th e state from business is already more than heavy. It is back-brcakmg. All that the passage of this bill will mean is that the larger chains will probably reduce the number : of their stores, adding to the number of unemployed, vacating more buildings and adding to the snowball of depressing conditions. The way to beat the chains is not by punitive laws, but by improving upon their methods. That . can be done by voluntary co-operatives. In many states that movement is taking form. Any method of distribution that eliminates waste and reduces the living cost is to be welcomed. The chains merely mean mass distribution to match mass production. That does not necessarily mean ownership of the mass distribution in a single corporation. The best way to meet the chain store is in the field of fair competition and voluntary cooperation. FRANCES PERKINS No better news has come from cabinet-making ' councils than that indicating Frances Perkins will be secretary of labor. As New York state industrial commissioner, and in the f9urteen years she has held similar offices under different titles, Miss Perkins’ record in behalf of workers has been a distinguished one. She has displayed a rare ability to organize efficiently for the job on hand and get things done that at the outset seemed impassible. These talents have been needed in the labor department for a long time. For years the department has dragged along with an employment service not worth even the small amount of money spent for it. The naturalization service and treatment of aliens has been a national disgrace. Under Secretary Doak, politics further has clogged the department's inefficient machinery. If Miss Perkins puts her hand on the throttle, this condition will change. She is a skilled sociologist, not a politician. If there ever was a time when labor needed competent, whole-souled help from its government, that time is here, and for the department from which it hoped so much and has received so little to be intrusted again to a person of the caliber of recent secretaries would be a tragedy. Every working man and woman in the country should rejoice if Miss Perkins is included in the final cabinet list. GOVERNOR-GENERAL ROOSEVELT One of the most important jobs in the new administration will be that of governor-general of the Philippines. The abortive independence measure passed by traders in the lame duck congress has created trouble both for the islands and for the United States; only statesmanship can find a way out. Meanwhile, the war in the far east spreads. It is a bad time to swap horses. Fortunately, Theodore Roosevelt as governorgeneral has won the confidence of the Filipinos and of Americans. By apparently unanimous opinion he has rendered fine service. A change at this time might add anew clement of uncertainty to already dangerously unsettled conditions in the far cast. To be sure, there are plenty of minor reasons for sending out anew gov-ernor-general—to the victor belongs the spoils, fear of possible charges of nepotism, and the like. But there are luxuries which statesmanship can not afford in a crisis. President-Elect Roosevelt has enough problems on his hands already, without creating new’ ones. He should be in no hurry to displace Theodore Rooseveit, who happens to be a Republican and a distant cousin—but who also happens to be an exceptionally able governor-general, much needed in the Philippines at this particular moment. AN ARMS EMBARGO In congress, and in foreign parliaments, the law-makers are troubled by the hypocrisy involved In nations having anti-war pacts and at the same time selling weapons to other nations to break these treaties. An enlightening debate on this subject is reported from London. The only reply Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald could make to demands for an embargo on British arms shipments to belligerents in the far east and Latin America was to say that the British government could not act alone. He intimated that the League of Nations could not act because of the United States. This excuse has a familiar ring. In Washington, at the house hearing on the embargo resolution, the munitions makers opposed action on the ground of competition—other countries would get the business if we didn't. All this is evasion. The argument would sound absurd if applied to the traffic in slaves or in women. The issue is a practical. one. If the nations want to salvage the peace machinery, they will have to do something much more effective than talk about it. An arms embargo against a treatybreaking belligerent is one of the easiest and most obvious methods, productive of direct results. As the state department has pointed out to the house committee, an arms embargo does not lead to war. It merely is the lawful refusal by a neutral to engage in a traffic which its treaties have made illegal in principle. To permit munitions profiteers to determine government policy on the embargo question- is like

calling In a germ-carrier of a physician to treat a typhoid patient. For the munitions makers not only keep wars going, they help start wars. This Is not an unsubstantiated pacifist charge. It has been demonstrated by many objective investigations. To name only one, the conservative League of Nations commission found that: ’‘Armament firms have been active in fomenting war scares and in persuading their own countries to adopt warlike policies . . . Have attempted to bribe government officials . . .• Have disseminated false reports concerning the military and naval programs of various countries, to stimulate armament expenditures . . . Have sought to influence public opinion through control of newspapers . . . Hava organized international armament rings, through which the armament race has been accentuated by playing f off one country against another.” As President Hoover told congress last month: ‘ Recent events have emphas.zed the urgent need of more authority to the executive in control of the shipment of arms from the United States for military purposes. There can be no doubt that control of the shipment of arms from the United States lor military purposes. There can be no doubt that control of such shipments to areas of prospective and actual international conflict greatly would aid the earnest and unceasing efforts which all nations now make to prevent and lessen the dangers of such conflicts.” In our judgment, the President should be given power in his discretion to apply an embargo in defense of treaties, either in co-operation with other nations, or alone, if the international armament ring is powerful enough in some countries to block international action. But, if congress will not grant that complete power to the President, the least it can do is to pass the resolution allowing us to join in international action, as Mr. Hoover requests. That, at least, would dispose of foreign jibes, such as that of the British, that the United States is holding up the peace parade. In keeping with the modern tempo, a Kentucky couple, hastily procured a marriage license and stood on the running board of their automobile while a minister read the vows. At such a speed, we suppose the usual probationary period accorded a bridegroom was waived and that the bride promptly climbed into the back seat to assist with the driving. , Mt. Ranier park officials gravely warn the country that unless something is done, Nisqually glacier will be damaged badly. There, ladies arid gentlemen, is something to worry about— considering we’ve only 11,000,000 jobless in our midst. George Bernard Shaw says India should make public speaking a capital offense. It’s a bit different around Washington, where we have capital speaking at public expense. Boxing promoters at Ogden, Utah, have adopted the barter system for fight admissions. Because of stocks on hand, gatemen probably will have to refuse cauliflowers and lemons. Bankers, nowadays, don't get around much, but they seem to no everybody. The Wisconsin farm strike was upsetting to dairymen, but highway pickets didn't cry over spilled milk. y Now an economist proposes that the government issue “dirt dollars,” backed by governmentowned farm land. It’s too bad that the term implies of contamination—just when we’d ceased to speak of filthy lucre. In these days of hardships we may draw inspiration from the movie stars who must carry on, lighthearted and gay, though their salaries have been slashed from $1,500 to a paltry SI,OOO a week. A New York judge has ruled that a woman can rifle her husband’s pockets without interference as far as the law is concerned, a sense of fairness, however, should prevent her coming back to bed and waking him up to complain of insufficient funds. Three government departments have collaborated in determining that a frog can hop five times as far as a flea. Neither, of course, can approximate the celerity of a congressional candidate at election time

Just Plain Sense MRS. WALTER FERGUSON -

'T'HE mail is filled with sad plaints from women who find men untruthful, undependable, and slippery as eels in the matrimonial grasp. Lets, if possible, regard the question from a cold and practical point of view. It undoubtedly is tiue that there goes on a terrific competition among women and men. This is because the number of eligible males has been declining steadily during the last several years. Numerically, in a good many other countries, women far outnumber men. To all practical purposes, the same is true in the United States. That is. we have at least twice as many girls and women who are willing and wish to marry as there are men who are in a position to marry them. Thousands of boys who, under normal conditions, would be thinking seriously of a wife and a home and babies, now are hitch-hiking all over the country, trying to find work or food. This undoubtedly contributes to the energetic efforts of those whom we call “home breakers” and who in truth only are proving once again that self-preservation is the first law of nature. If they can oust a wife and get a home and a husband, they do it. a k a economic situation also augments the misdemeanors of women. America until recently was a country of many frontiers. Pioneering was the rule. Girls who ventured into the middle west had no fears about getting married. They were snapped up as soon as they got there. Wives were a valuable asset. Women were necessary to the building of permanent settlements. They could pick and choose and, at least until they were married, play the coquette and flirt and break masculine hearts. It always has been the potential mother and not the individual woman that has been the object of men’s solicitude. When women are scarce, therefore, this solicitude increases and becomes a physical and moral protectorate. But when there is a surplus of women, it is natural that solicitude should abate. And this always results in women growing more aggressive. Our problem today is exactly this: There are not enough marriageable men to go round. And there doesn’t seem to be anything we can do about it. It is only another of those unpleasant phases of modern life from which we seem dooa J to suffer. . r ... .

‘When Do We Eat?’

It Seems to Me • • ..by Heywood Broun

YEARS ago I decided that when repeal got fairly started on its way I would blow myself to a big party, ring doorbells and knock down fences. But when the victory came I passed the evening quietly at home, making denial bids at one-twentieth of a cent. It may be that the boy grew older, or, again, the change could be less in me than in outside circumstances. I am in favor of sending the dry amendment back to the states, but the change in legislative temper has come belatedly. There now are so many other things of more importance. And yet I trust that this new deal may be a symbol and a symptom of increasing congressional courage and frank facing of the facts. Now that one powerful lobby seems in danger of being ridden down, there is at least a chance that senators will begin to consider their convictions and constituents and cease to tremble at the sound of ghostly voices and the clanking of chains. Both honesty and imagination will be needed in the new administration, and if as much as one good thing can come out of a lame duck session there is. the possibility that the new house may sweep a good deal cleaner than most of us have dared to hope. tt tt tt Now for Long Pull IAM well aware that ratification is not going to be obtained overnight. It still is possible that some little group of thirteen states may tie up the proposal indefinitely. We may, in traditional American legislative fashion, drift into forgetting the whole business, rather than removing it. But there will remain the fact that 289 members of the house of representatives, on a certain Monday, did behave after the manner of rational human beings and stopped acting like congressmen. And that’s something! To be sure, not all the credit should go to the gentlemen in Washington. I am of the opinion that Mrs. Charles Sabin has done a little more than any other individual to bring about the new dispensation. She probably has displayed more political acumen and effectiveness than any other member of her sex. But for her leadership there would have been no knocking down of the notion that prohibition must be preserved, good or bad, because all the women of the country were behind it. tt tt tt News Hits Broadway A S it happened, I was in a ■L place of solace when the news of the vote came over the ticker. I expected to find a woe-begone expression on the face of the proprietor. “Ater some little while.” I said, ‘‘this is going to be bad for profits. The sun has begun to set on the day of the $1 cocktail.” ‘‘Yes,” he said, "I know that, but don’t expect me to weep. I think I still can keep going. In fact, repeal might put cen years on my life.

==■— ' DAILY HEALTH SERVICE --- - Beware of Hospital Care Financiers’ BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

This is the first of two articles bv Dr. Fishbein cautioning the public to think twice before sisnine ud for ‘ hospital insurance.” In times of sickness and epidemics, charlatans flourish. They know that a desperate public will grasp at any scheme that seems to offer something for nothing, or more for less than its costs. The report of the Committee on the Costs of Medical Care has served to focus the attention of the public on this problem. Many “financiers” who have found it difficult to operate in other fields at this time have invaded the field of medical care. We have in this country approximately 7,000 hospitals with a million beds, many of them devoted to the care of the tuberculosis and psychiatric cases. The country would not seem to be over-hospitalized. Nevertheless, the hospitals of the country are approximately 33 per cent unoccupied. a a a AMONG possible causes for this condition is the government’s hospitalization of vast numbers of .veterans suffering from non-

I’m sick to death of ‘assessments.’ Naturally, there’s money in running a speakeasy, but you’ve got to be a combination of Demosthenes, Mark Hanna and, if you’ll pardon my high school education, Cataline, to get away with it. I’m just about in a mood not only to welcome the first tax collector who comes into my place, but to throw both arms around his neck. “You don’t think, do you, that anybody who’s been in the business for ten years really likes prohibition agents?” His attitude disturbed me not a little. I went into the bar and started organizing. I drew a little group around me and said: “‘ls it really true that the twilight of the speakeasy is upon us? If even the proprietors are going to welcome the coming of the new day, upon whom can be put our trust and confidence?

Every Day Religion t--'- •. . BY DR. JOSEPH FORT NEWTON

A ONE-ACT play, some years ago, had two characters, a man who just had been killed in an auto smash-up, and an angel. As the man slowly comes to himself, he wonders where he is, and calls out, “Is anybody there?” The mists clear away, and an angel stands before him and asks, “Can I do anything for you, sir?” The man asks what he may have. “Anything you like,” is thfr reply. “Already I have taken thirty years from your age,” the angel adds. “Perpetual youth, eh?” exclaims the newcomer. “It looks as if I’d come to a good place, after all. But what about the golden crown?” “You can have one if you like,” comes the answer, and presto! a starry golden crown encircles his brow. “Exactly a fit,” he says. “And now, what else have you got here?” “Anything you like,” replies the angel. “I can have everything I desire? Absolutely everything?” he asks, excitedly. “Subject only to certain restrictions imposed by the nature of the place,” is the reply. “There is neither pain, nor suffering, nor struggle here. Anything else you desire I will procure for you.” n tt tt ALL sorts of requests follow,” the best to eat and drink, luxurious living rooms, “period” furniture, lovely women, and the rest. But all proves insufficient and finally cloying. “This everlasting bliss palls,” says the man, wearily. “I know what I want! I want some work.” But as work implies struggle and effort, it is out of the question. “I don’t know what to propose, sir,” says the angel, after he has ransacked his mind. “But if any-

Even Henry Ford seems to have postponed his operation for hernia until the hernia strangulated and included the appendix. The publicity promoted by the committee on the costs of medical care established in the public consciousness the idea that hospital care is likely to be an exceedingly costly matter, and that the only hope of meeting hospital costs is some scheme of insurance whereby the costs will be distributed over vast numbers of people. ana DURING the past two years the public has been deluged with new schemes of insurance against

They all feel as you do at first.” “But,” cries the man, “I can’t stand this everlasting bliss!

medical costs, but particularly against the cost of hospital care. The best piece of advice that could be given to any ope approached by an agent selling such a policy is to ask the agent to bring the policy back with all the fine print reprinted three times as large as the largest print in the policy as offered. It is in the fine print that the limitations will be found which make such policies, in many instances, undesirable. Here are the clauses limiting the number of conditions covered by the policy; here are the clauses limiting the term of stay in the hospital under the policy; here are the clauses which make it possible for the insurance company, when it finds itself pressed by economic stringency due to wrong calculations, poor mathematics, and unfavorable health conditions, to wiggle out from under all responsibility.

M.E. Tracy Says:

HITLER SEEDS SO EX-KAISER

WHAT does a house painter want with a king? Not that the house painter might fail to use one if it came in handy, but would he create or restore one if he could get what he wanted without doing so? We have seen enough in this country to realize the difference between what a candidate promises and what he does after being elected to office. Applying the same rule to Adolph Hitler, much of his talk as seeker of power should be discounted. He and some of his supporters toyed with the

thought of a returned kaiser, but why assume that they meant more than to attract votes? Politics is the same kind of bunk in Germany as anywhere else. Your shrewd leader says what he thinks the people want to hear, especially at the outset. If he is really shrewd, however, he soon forgets it. Nor should this be interpreted as lack of sincerity, determination, or willingness to do the right thing. More often than not. what the people want m the heat of excitement is far from what they want as a matter of calm, deliberate choice. tt tt it Germany Wants Coherent Economic Setup THE people of Germany do not want the Hohenzollerns back, even though some of them have thought so in moments of peculiar stress and confusion. What the people of Germany want is a restored nationalism, a coherent economic structure, and a social order sufficiently well defined to permit of constructive thinking. Hitler has made their desire articulate, even though he appeared to be advocating some other things on occasion. His pro-kaiser and anti-Jewish attitude was just a pose to catch certain elements of the crowd. Now that he has arrived, he will be a different man or pass out of the picture within a year. It is beyond imagination to suppose that a country can be rehabilitated or that intelligent people will stand for such trash as Hitler dealt in during his various campaigns. By the same token, it is beyond imagination to suppose that he could have fought his way upward against such odds unless he had something better in the back of his head. There are royalists in Germany, of course, just as there are in France, Spain, Portugal and Russia, but the fashion of establishing republics is planted too firmly right now for them to make much headway. a tt st Passing of Hohenzollerns Helps Nation THE German people have endured many disappointments and bitter experiences since the war, but all things considered their lot has been much easier than it would have been with the Hohenzollerns. Nothing has done so much to help them regain the confidence of other nations as the abandonment of kaiserism, and they know *. When Hindenburg first was elected president of Germany, many people felt sure that the monarchy soon would be re-established. They took everything into account except the elemental motives of human nature, building up a case that rested solely on a stern old man's willingness to lie and surrender his prestige for the sake of playing servant to a discredited master. The same false reasoning is all that warrants a belief that Hitler will re-enthrone the kaiser. Like every other ambitious man. Hitler will not divide power unless he is compelled to do so. He would not be where he is today if a king had stood in the path. He has made his way in Germany by building up a following. Tt is preposterous to suppose that he would give that following up for the doubtful advantage of being a court favorite.

SCIENCE Do the Stars Twinkle? BY DAVID DIETZ

THE sparkling nights of winter are excellent for study of the stars. When the air is clear and crisp, the stars seem to glow r and twinkle with added vigor. It recalls to mind the old nursery rhyme that goes: Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are, Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky. And that, perhaps, will serve to arouse many serious questions about the stars. There is, of course, the question embodied in the rhyme as to what the stars are. Perhaps the rhyme will suggest an earlier question by its very first line. Every one knows that the stars twinkle. But why do they twinkle? The stars actually do not shine with an unsteady light. Each star is a great, fiery, self-luminous globe. Each star is a great sun, the smallest one about one-third the size of our sun, the largest one 500 times the diameter of our sun. It is the earth’s atmosphere which is responsible for the twinkling of stars. a a a Air Is Unsteady IF you look out a window which has a heated radiator beneath it you will notice that the houses and trees outdoors seem to be quivering and trembling. Actually, of course, they are doing nothing of the sort. There is an irregular column of heated air rising from the radiator. The light w aves coming to you through the pass through this layer of moving air above the radiator. ■ The heated air is less dense than the cold air. As the light rays enter this layer of different density, they are bent, or, to use the exact scientific term, “diffracted.” You may see a somewhat similar phenomenon by placing a straight stick in a glass of water. It will look as though the stick were bent where it enters the water. Now the atmosphere of the earth is in continuous motion. Heated currents of cold air are descending. The density of the air varies from point to point in an irregular and constantly changing fashion. The light of the stars must make its way to our eyes through about ten miles of this unsteady atmosphere. Diffraction alone, however, is not sufficient to account for the twinkling of the stars. More important is the phenomenon known as “interference.” If two light waves strike each other in such a fashion that the crest or top of one wave falls upon the trough or bottom of the other, the result will be darkness, the two rays neutralizing and canceling out each other. This is what happens to starlight. n a Cancel Each Other AS the beam of light comes to our eyes from a star, different parts of the narrow beam may strike different thicknesses of air. If one part of the beam is delayed enough to throw it a half wave length behind the other, then the two parts instead of reinforcing each other and giving us the image of the star, cancel each other out. Momentarily, therefore, we fail to see the star and so the star seems to be twinkling. A puzzling question always put to young students of astronomy is why the stars twinkle, but the planets do not. The reason is that the planet, being so much closer to the earth, gives us a much larger image than does the star..

TRACY

[ The star may be considered as | a point of light, but the image of j the planet is a disc. Consequently, in the case of thr I planet we receive a great many ! waves of light arising from points on the disc. Interference as in | the case of the star’s light may j occur between waves. But there are so many of them that the interference is not sufficient to blot out the entire image and so the' planet continues to shine with a fairly steady light. While the unsteadiness of the earth’s atmosphere undoubtedly adds to the beauty of the night sky, it is a great annoyance to the 1 astronomer. It interferes with his observations of the planets as well as the stars and makes it particularly difficult for him to measure the position of a star with high precision.
