A DOUBTFUL CURE A COMPLETE solution for the kidnaping *■ racket can be designed, "on paper,” by penalizing those who pay rewards to kidnapers Such a solution accords perfectly with the theory tha* if you take the profit out of crime there will be no crime. But no law ever has been strong enough to go against human nature. That penalizing the reward-payer does go against human nature is our fear in connection with the recommendation made by the Governor of New York and others. We only have to recall the recent waves of public emotion which have risen instinctivtly in behalf of the father and the mother of a kidnaped child or the wife of a kidnaped husband to give us pause on the question of whether a jury would ever convict under h statute penalizing those who pay the reward. Failure of such a statute to stand up—widespread refusal of juries to convict—would add one more chapter to the already long story of law's that are unenforceable. To strengthen the law against the kidnaper himself, to create a "Scotland Yard,” to set up any super-intelligence service, no matter what the cost, in order to stamp out this most vicious and heartrending of all rackets—yes. But to prosecute the relative who has gone through the torture and who has responded as you and I would respond, might have the effect of not retarding and stamping out the crime, but of demonstrating to the racketeers themselves that one more law has merely proved its impotency. BETTER BUSINESS CHART ■HTHE President has created anew federal statistical agency. A statistical chart is a dry affair. So is a compass or a fever thermometer. But life sometimes depends on them. Just as an inaccurate fever chart may co6t a patients life, so an unreliable economic chart may rlose banks, bankrupt businesses and throw workers on the streets to starve. Indeed, that is more or less what happened for two years, when officials of the Hoover administration were pulling figures out of their hats to prove that prosperity was just around the corner. Despite our boasted American business efficiency, it is a little known fact that we have no complete and authoritative government statistics on business and labor conditions. On a great many questions where precise statistics are essential, we have been operating by guesswork, or by misleading generalizations on inadequate figures. Therefore the Hoover administration was not altogether to blame for its wish-fulfill-ment figures—the charts were so incomplete often they could be read either way. With the advent of the Roosevelt administration and the recognized need for definite economic planning on a national scale, the old hit-or-miss government statistics were more Inadequate than ever. The first reform was achieved when Secretary Frances Perkins named Dr. Isidor Lubin. an outstanding expert, to head and reorganize the bureau of labor statistics. Meanwhile, other cabinet officers were improving their statistical organization, and many of the emergency bodies, such as the agricultural adjustment agency and the Industrial recovery administration, were setting up new chart agencies. That is the purpose of the new central statistical board. On that board it is said there will be such men as Dr. Lubin for labor. Dr. Mordecai Ezekiel for agriculture and Dr. Winfield Rieffler for the federal reserve. Given a free hand they will gather statistics that can be trusted. CURBING SPECULATION 'T'HF house-cleaning rules issued by the New York Stock Exchange probably are the wisest move ever made by Wall Street. The professed object of the new rules is to curb speculation. To that end margin requirements are increased and weekly reports to the exchange committee are required on pool and syndicate operations. Whether these rules will prove adequate re- , mains to be seen. Obviously the new system will not even have a chance of success unless he exchange members co-operate completely and in good faith. There are many who believe that halfway measures are not enough to prevent the worst speculative evils. Especially there is a demand in some responsible quarters for enforced publicity on pool operations as the surest way to produce results. It is an open secret that the Roosevelt administration is studying the problem in preparation for rigid regulation of the Stock Exchange If that expedient becomes necessary. The administration would much prefer. It is said, for the Stock Exchange to regulate Itself, provided voluntary action gets under way quickly. Doubtless the knowledge that effective voluntary regulation is the only alternative to a strict government licensing system has encouraged the board of governors of the Stock Exchange to hasten the new rules. In the midst of the crucial national recovery plan, neither the administration nor the nation can be indifferent to the effects of unrestrained stock market speculation. If the effect were merely to wipe out a few gamblers the government would not be concerned. But. unfortunately, stock quotations, no matter how inaccurate they may be in reflecting actual business conditions, have a

powerful Influence on the national psychology. An artificially high market followed by an inevitable gambling collapse could play havoc with industrial recovery, which is being purchased by the co-operation and temporary sacrifices of the legitimate industries of the country. The administration owes it to the Industrial recovery plan—and to the 125.000.000 Americans who are trying as employers, workers and consumers to make the recovery plan a success—to protect recovery from the gambling sharks. There is even* reason to believp that the President will act on this responsibility if necessary. But the Job can be done better and quicker by the New York Stock Exchange itself if, under the stimulus of a great emergency, it has the capacity for self-reform. SCHOOL PUPILS AND WAR TT is not surprising that school children who were examined in a survey by two professors of Columbia university, should have revealed a tendency to glorify everything connected with war. Martial things—roll of drums, blare of trumpets, men in uniform, and all the fanfare and trumpery of war—have a well nigh irresistible appeal to young minds, and to many old ones. School children in the very nature of things can have little appreciation of the horrors and cruelty of war; they see only its glories. Their text book heroes are great soldiers, and they learn that the destinies of their own country have revolved about war. Was not America bom in blood? Was not Lincoln a hero to be emulated, even though he led a nation in war? Nor is there any wonder that children have little grasp of the machinery of peace. Even adults might be found woefully lacking in knowledge of the Kellogg pact, the World court, the League of Nations, and the intricacies surrounding these- agencies. But while the professors' survey reveals little that Is surprising, it does call attention to the need for bringing forcibly home to future citizens the fact that war is a national catastrophe and that as such it is to be avoided if that is possible; and that good has seldom come from any war. Probably the greatest need is to destroy the belief that war is inevitable, unquestioning acceptance of which is perhaps the chief reason that peace measures have been so ineffectual. World armaments are far larger now than they were in 1914. and the world now as then is filled with international jealousies and suspicions. and rumors of war. Progress toward universal peace has been disappointingly slow and has had many setbacks. Peace machinery is imperfect and not very effective. These facts, however, only make it more desirable to put forth every effort to avoid anew war. which w*ould be infinitely more terrible than the last, and which many world leaders believe would bring the destruction of civilization. It is not necessary to breed a nation of milksop pacifists. An understanding of what war really is. how wars are made, and what is being done to minimize the chances for war. can be combined with a healthy patriotism. NEW DEAL CHALLENGED 'T'HERE is, perhaps, a touch of irony in the fact that the first court attack on the New Deal should be made before a judge who was appointed by President Harding at the suggestion of Attorney-General Daugherty, and who was center of a bitter senate struggle when his promotion was asked by President Hoover. The judge is James H. Wilkerson of federal district court of Chicago. When Hoover proposed to elevate Wilkerson to the circuit bench after he had sentenced A1 Capone to Atlanta, labor raised such a rumpus that Wilkerson himself asked Hoover to withdraw the nomination. Labor contended that Wilkerson had used his power to issue injunctions to deprive organized workers of their constitutional rights. Independent distributors of milk have nowchallenged the constitutionality of the farm relief act in proceedings started before Wilkerson's court. The milk code applied to the Chicago area, which is the basis for the legal proceedings, is interesting for other reasons as well. It is the first food marketing code approved by the agricultural adjustment administration, and will serve as a pattern for other codes. Legality of the administration's efforts to raise farm prices doubtless ultimately will be determined by the supreme court. The present attack, based on the contention of the independent distributers that they should not be required to sell milk at the minimum of 10 cents a quart, apparently is broad enough to cover most questions likely to be raised. The milk code is designed to assure producers a greater share of the final selling price than they now receive and to stabilize that chaotic business. The government has tackled a difficult Job In a difficult spot. CONFIDENCE IN UNCLE SAM /CONFIDENCE in the government and a belief that economic conditions are definitely < n the mend are reflected in the quick oversubscription of the government’s new issue of bonds and notes. While the offering was for $850,000,000. It is now probable that more than a billion in obligations will be issued. Short-term loans of $920,000,000 will fall due this month and next, and proceeds of the loan will go for their retirement. Conversion of the socalled floating debt into long-term bonds and notes is regarded as desirable by the government, since it does away with the necessity for constant refinancing. Success of this issue—the first since 1931 —augurs well for the future borrowing that will be necessary in connection with the recovery program.

BLUE EAGLE WOMAN Woman the deliverer! Correct is President Roosevelt in his opinion that the buying power lies largely in the hands of America's women. You will, if married. and you'll say that ' power'' is the right word for it. By no means does the fate of the NRA depend wholly, or even principally, upon getting more money into the possession of the masses. That money mast be spent Judiciously, and there is no disputing the proposition that it will take judicious, confident spending by the women to make the wheels of factories, railroad equipment and mills go ’round and ’round again, normally. This is not written to urge a plunge into luxuries. It is safe to say that there are. comparatively, mighty few wardrobes in the country that are not full of wom-outs or last-season habiliments: that there are millions of households that have been denied common necessities and the little luxuries which have contributed to making the American standard of living the highest on earth. Anything like general hoarding or selfishness born of fear for ones individual interests and there'll be no national industrial recovery. The Blue Eagle will hatch no chicks ever able to stand on their own legs. Active and urgent in the mind of even* American woman with newlv-acquired money power must be the certainty that hoarding or continuance of the pinching policy will mean defeat of perhaps the last great effort to save the country from a period of human misery such as America has never before experienced. To simply possess more money than in the last four years of fear, pinching and selfdenial will not save. It will not save even the possessor. The difference between possessing and judiciously spending is like that between the muddy, stagnant, scum-covered mill pond and the clear, flowing stream whose irrigation means food for man and beast. Woman, you have great power. Use it to make the w’heels of industry* go 'round. Don't pawn it. WANDERING WOMEN A PECULIAR development of the relief situation in New York City, and presumably elsewhere, is that while the number of homeless men is decreasing as business picks up, the number of homeless women is increasing. The Welfare council of New York reports that 15 per cent fewer men sought shelter in June than in May. while the number of women was 12 per cent greater. The increase in the number of destitute women was attributed to the fact that each day additional women and girls are reaching the end of their resources and are obliged to appeal to charity. And they are not the type regarded as "derelicts,” but are former white collar workers, unskilled for the most part, but heretofore self-supporting. It has been estimated that the number of homeless women adrift in the United States has reached a total of 250.000. Many of them have taken to the open road in their search for work. We have been accustomed in the past to large numbers of unemployed and wandering men; transient labor has in fact been useful in many ways. But the addition of women to the ranks of this unfortunate army constitutes anew and disturbing problem in our social readjustment.

M. E.Tracy Says:

ONCE more comes August, reminding us of iiow civilization blew up nineteen years ago and of how blind we were to what it meant. Optimists in the worst sense of the word, we only could see the bright side of things. Though realizing that war would be bad. we accepted it as a purging process, coasoling themselves with the thought that, no matter how many human beings were killed or how much property was destroyed, it would result in a healthier, happier world. One cannot review the last twenty years, without being amazed at men's inability to understand the forces of their own creation, much less to control them. In no important instance have our best minds been able to read the meaning of events correctly. Take the Mexican revolution, the advent of a Chinese republic, the effect of submarine campaign on ocean trade, the overthrow of czarism in Russia, the emergence of Mussolini, the redistribution of colonies, the various plans for financial reconstruction, and in what case has the result squared with the prophecy? Civilized humanity has been inundated with waves of skepticism, has been led by the incidental processes of revolution to abandon many of its hitherto firmly planted convictions and beliefs. What was looked upon as progressive twenty years ago now is considered quite react ionary, while what was looked upon as reactionary now is regarded as thoroughly progressive. a a a COMPELLED to organize for the purpose of overthrowing old school despotism, democracy finds itself confronted with anew school of dictatorship, accepting the regimentation essential to war as the surest method by which to pay the bill and repair damages. Few people comprehended what the thing would cost, even after it appeared to be over. Our greatest economists failed to sense how the enormous load of debt would crush financial structures, and our great statesmen failed to foresee the effect of militarism on politics. The Mussolinis. Lenins and Hitlers, with their conception of unified control and rigid discipline. were the logical type of reformers in the wage of such a cataclysm. Even the United States is glad to borrow Wilson's war program of recovery and to clothe a peace-time President with dictatorial powers The things being done to meet depression, not only here but abroad, bear a striking resemblance to the things that were done to beat Kaiserism. 000 WAR has a way of creating styles in statecraft. just as it has of creating styles in dress. Bobbed hair, short skins, controlled industry, disarmament conferences, nuisance taxes and bureaucrats go back largely to the great mobilization of 1914 and the glorious manner in which men organized to destroy their physical and intellectual heritage. I said at the time that it would take fifty years to recover, not in the sense of bread and meat, but in the sense of poise and judgment. I am inclined to amend that: it will take nearer 100 years. There is no evading the consequences of folly, and the sooner we get it into our heads, the better it will be for all concerned. Civilization went down into the jungle, reverted to barbarism. turned its back on intelligence, resorted to murder on the grandest scale ever known, destroyed property without rhyme or reason, mortgaged its future to the point of insanity. Now it has got to hack its way back, rebuild, pay off. repair and. above all else, readjust its mind to constructive processes

Heywood Broun, in his column pulished in The Times, July 24, makes one of the most pungent comments upon the current scene that I have read. He says: “I am all for planned production and for codes, but when I read that some generous industry has pone into a huddle, only to com? out with the announcement that nobody is to be paid less than sl2 a week. I tremble for this purchasing power which I have seen mentioned so recently in the headlines of our newspapers. "I don't see how anybody can keep body and soul apart for sl2 a week.” I saspect that a great many people are beginning to wonder if the NIRA is at best not just another colossal blunder of a colossal fathead. From my seat in the upper gallery, it has an even more sinister aspect. Here is how the NRA will affect one American family—that is, American at present: My father works fifty-six hours a week for S2B. With that sum, we have contrived an existence for four persons. I call it merely an existence—not a life—because it lias meant cancellation of all social contacts. We do not accept hospitality which we can not return. It has meant that when we needed medical attention, we have been unable to afford it. It has meant that higher education is a luxury with which we have dispensed. It has meant —an existence. A thirty-five hour week for sl4 will mean that we must vacate the rental property we occupy, for the reason that current taxes will not permit further lowering of rental rates. With sl4 salaries the general rule, will our landlord be able to let his property? If not. will he be able to pay his taxes? But that is something over which our brilliant statesmen may worry. A thirty-five hour week for sl4 will mean that our insurance must lapse—that we can no longer meet utility bills—that our ln o d and clothing will be scanty and meager —that we can not pay personal property taxes—that my lather will

FEW people have the slightest idea of what is to be done when another person suddenly becomes unconscious. rhere are numerous causes for this condition. but practically all of them are related in some manner to the brain, since the brain is the seat of consciousness. A blow on the head: pressure on the brain from a large blood clot; a lack of blood supply to the brain: the effects of such drugs as opium, ether, chloroform or alcohol; or carbon monoxide gas -nay produce unconsciousness. A physician who is called to see a person who suddenly has become unconscious makes his decision as to the cause of unconsciousness from a number of factors. He feels the pulse to determine whether, by its rate and strength, the difficulty is affecting the circulation of the blood. He watches the breathing rate. If it is between 15 and 30 and fairly

Rising From the Ashes

Outside Help Bv Just A Hoosirr. An Indianapolis company has been sending to Kentucky and bringing up men and women to work in the mill. I was over there last Saturday to see about a job and there were from ten to fifteen men with letters from the company telling them to come up and go to work. I saw the letters and one was to a man up in Michigan. This doesn't look as though an Indianapolis citizen has a chance. All you have to do is tell them you are from Kentucky and you get a job.

A thirty-five hour week for sl4 will mean that we can no longer support my grandmother, who is one of father's three dependents. Next January, she will be a candidate for an old-age pension, provid’ng such pensions can be paid from inevitably curtailed tax returns. My belief that all of tluse things are a deliberate attempt to wipe out the middle class is founded on the unvarnished truth that it is the middle and lower classes that are being forced to bear the brunt, the major portion, of the expense of attempted recovery—a retrogressive recovery. If all this fanfare of sharing work were accompanied by agitation for a capital levy against those who well car. afford it, I might believe differently. But on this point there is discreet silence. Let the forgotten man pay for the capitalists' forgotten mistakes. We dare not cut a "Mellon.” And so when I see the spread eagle of the NRA.

But what is going on in the world really is the reverse to liberalism.—Lord Grey of Faliodon. Jesus had no interest in a religion that divorced itself from righteousness.—Dr. William Pearson Tolley, president of Allegheny college. There are many sincere people who regard warships as not only a superfluous luxury, but actually consider them an incentive to war Claude A. Swanson, secretary of the navy.

acidosis or the fact that the person has taken a large dose of alcohol or of ether. Associated with the onset of fainting there may be dizziness or lightheadedness. The average human walks erect and pays no attention to his sense of balance because that is controlled by a number of reflex sensations coming to the brain from various places. The semi-circular canaLs of the internal ear give the human being a sense of his position in space. There is also a feeling associated with the muscles which aids the determination of presence in space. If the body tends to accumulate acid, dizziness is a prominent symptom. Anything that interferes with the co-ordination between the sense of vision, the mascie sens? and the sensation coming from the semicircular canals will produce dizziness.

on the contrary, we wish to conduct ourselves like reasonable human beings, we can not Imitate the 1 murderer. Let us. at least, be honest about it. When we cry for blood, we only are shouting aloud our own defeat. For we have failed, sordidly, shamefully, to cope with crime in any sensible fashion. Our whole legal system tends to pro-: mote rather than lessen it. The gangster is the result of our mass' dishonesty, our vile political racketeering. our spoils system. To be effective, punishment must be swift and sure The law should act quick as a dagger thrust. Most important of all. the crimes that go on in this country “within the law." under the sanction of the courts and the people, must cease, before we can hope to rid ourselves of bandits.

It Seems to Me = BY HEYWOOD BROUN -

NEW YORK. Aug slt well may be that when these few lines appear local showers or other i disturbances will have checked the heat wave Nevertheless. I will ; chance it and Kite a few hot weather hints which I generally offer about this time of year. Doctors and other learned men are fond of furnishing August i "don ts," and I would keep my own trap shut but for a feeling that ail I the others tragically are wrong in the advice which they offer. The gist of most of the programs which I have seen is to do nothing, rat a little lettuce and drink some i lukewarm water. Even if that is, I by any chance, physiologically sound, | it is more than the human spirit j should be called upon to bear. Man has outlived many animals which could lick the life out of him in fair combat, and he has done it by his ability to thumb his nose at the weather. When the glaciers slipped down from the polar caps the saber-toothed tiger sneezed and died. But primitive man found himself some minstrel corresponding to Whittier or Robert W. Service and kidded himself along into the notion that It was fun to have vour ears frozen 0 0 0 By Making It a Virtue AND the human race has maintained itself in the Arctic, along the equator and even in the temperate zones by developing a j compensating literature. In other j words, if you give the weather an inch it will slip over ten degrees of temperature on you. Excessive cold or heat must be greeted as a challenge. I am a slothful man, but whenever the mercury hits a hundred or thereabouts. I make it a practice io put on a rubber shirt and a couple I of sweaters and exclaim, “Now for a i round of golf!” Os course, I always do not get all 'the way through. Sometimes they pick me up by the second green and carry me back to the locker room, where restoratives can be applied. One of these days—and yesterday at high noon seemed almost like the spot—the sun will get, me. But nothing ventured, nothing gained. And when the time comes or a good ; deal later I'd like to go like the gray goose and be struck down on the wing, rather than be potted in a corner in my undershirt and with a palm-leaf fan. Certainly, the more nan surrenders to high temperature, the great--1 er will be the anguish of his nerve I centers and his spirit. I can think j of no more punshing pursuit upon a j hot day than sitting still. In that ; situation your whole life passes in i review before you You mav enI joy that, but to me it is a most distressing spectacle And so I would rather go out and golf or play ; tennis or dance the encores. a a a I Diet for Hot Weather i THERE is also the matter of hot weather diet to which I have j referred in passing. The doctor* ! tell us to toy with lettuce, a mouth- ! ful of cold soup and perhaps a ‘ radish. This is not the fare for I brave mpn. Although I never have advocated tho use of spirits or any other beverages which sceal away the brain and reduce man to the level of the beasts, I must admit that the last two or three davs have offered splendid opportunities for drinking. I am not arguing that mint juleps, gin rickeys. highballs and oldi fashioned cocktails actually reduce ! ihe bodily temperature. As Mrs. Boole and other dry partisans long have contended, ten or twelve of ! these drinks likely are to make you feel terrible. But In very hot weather you are going to feel I terrible, anyway. All I say is, "What have you got to lose?" And then there is beer. If the hot wave only continues I do not see how the Democratic partv, which brought about the modification of the Volstead act, ever can be defeated- In winter, spring and early autumn beer seems to me more or less a negative beverage. It is merely a tossup between even the best of brews and good well water. But in summer water just won't do. On hot days I advise all my clients to shun it with fortitude, in order to turn a brave and bold face to the sun you must have some stimulation You mast, feel the drink as it pours info your ego. Primitive man drank beer. The saber-toothed tiger did not. Where is that tiger today? Where is man? But perhaps that is an argument into which we had better not go too deeply. an u Compromise of Coats BUT I do not want to seem too much the fanatic in 'ejecting the usual list of health hints. One compromise I would accept. I do not think it is necessary to wear your sweater all day long when the air Is boiling For social asage at parties and dinners and such like I recommend a soft shirt open at the neck. I have never understood Just why a man's coat should be sacred. Hotels and restaurants seem to be finicky on this point, and their Puritanical attitude should be broken down. I am encouraged by a picture taken at an Advertising Club luncheon of Mattem, Mollison, O'Brien and Grover Whalen. Everybody had his coat off except the mayor And, as far as I’m concerned, that makes it unanimous. iCosTTlght. 1933 bv The Inspiration BY' AUSTIN JAMES I weep not over yesterday And what I might have done. And think not of tomorrow And the battles to be won. For yesterday's tomorrow is today, I hold it dear; Now's my chance to do my best For opportunity is here.

Daily Thought

Judge not. and ye shall not be judged: condemn not. and ye shall not be condemned; forgive, and ye shall be forgiven.—St. Luke 6:37. Rashly doth man pass judgment: on his brother; for he seeth not the springs of the heart, nor heareth the reasons of the mind—Tupper.
