It Seems to Me By Hey wood Broun WILLIAM JAMES said that mankind must find a moral equivalent for war. Blow, bugle, blow, and let us put a ribbon with palms upon the breast of Travis Harvard Whitney. No soldier could have been more gallant than the man who crumpled at his desk in the civil works administration. Before he would submit to being taken to the hospital where he died Whitney insisted on giving directions to his assistants as to how the work should go on. He was tom with agony, but it was his commitment to put 200.000 men and womrn back at work. This was just something which had to be done. I saw him once, and in the light of his death I am not likely to forget. He called up to say that if the

newspaper guild would furnish him a list of unemployed reporters he thought he could place some under the CWA. "When do you want to see us?” I asked. "Come down now,” he answered. a a tt At Field Headquarters WE expected to find an office and an office boy and probably a couple of secretaries, but Whitney had a desk thrust right in the middle of a large and bustling room. He sat there and rode the tumult like a city editor. There were no

Heywood Broun

preliminaries of any kind. The tall, gaunt man with deep sunken eyes began by asking: “Now- when do I get the list?” “1 ve heard so much about red tape and bureaucracy that I didn’t suppose he meant immediately. "It will take a little time,” I told him. "We haven’t got a very big clerical force or much office space, and of course John Eddy will have to check up on the names for you. Let me see—this is Thursday—suppose we get you that list a week from Saturday and then on Monday we can really begin to get to work on it.” He indicated impatience. "That won’t do at all,” he said. “You don't understand. This is a rush job. Every day counts. Can’t you let me have part of the list day after tomorrow? This ought to be done right away. Can’t you call me on the phone tonight?” "Where can I get you atfer dinner?” I asked. "Right here.’ “How late?” "I can't tell. I’ll be here until I finish.” Travis Whitney made good that promise. He worked all day, and he worked all night. He knew he was critically ill when he took the appointment. Doctors had told him of the necessity of rest and probably of an operation. "I think I can last” was his rejoinder. tt tt u One Against Death AND he set himself to win that race. Two hundred thousand jobs before the end came. I think it was Lord Nelson w'ho had an ensign lash him to a mast at the battle of Trafalgar. Whitney’s courage was better than that. He chained himself to his desk by a sheer act of will. The people around could see him grow dead gray in the late hours. Almost you could hear the step of his adversary advancing. But all he said was: "We must hurry.” He felt not only the pangs of his own physical torture but the bite of the wind upon the bodies of men who walked the streets without shelter. I don't know what the economic philosophy of Travis Whitney may have been. He didn't have time to talk about it. “Some day” just couldn't fit into his scheme of things. His thought was of 200,000 jobs which must be made and handed out without delay. He had the harassed look of a flapjack cook in a lumber camp. "Right away” rang in his ears like a trumpet call. Maybe somebody came and said to him: "But don't you realize that you’re not solving anything? This is just a temporary expedient. When the revolution comes ” And I imagine Travis Whitney turned a deaf ear and only said: "Two hundred thousand jobs and this has got to be now.” a a a Before the Final Chapter HE couldn’t make the life force last until he had surged across the line. They put him on his shield and carried him away and I hope that on his tomb will be written "Killed in action.” Unquestionably this shambling, thin man peering a little dubiously through glasses had a concern. It was a passion. I suppose it is a little difficult to make paper work seem as exciting or romantic as cavalry charges. But you see he had found his moral equivalent for war. And I rather think that when next I hear the word "heroism” my immediate mental association will not be that of any brass hat on a hill, but of Travis Whitney bent over his desk. And maybe I will see him as a man against the sky. And I will hear him as he says: "More gently, death, come slower. Don't touch me until my job is done.” (Copyright, 1934. by The Times)

Your Health —BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN =

THE joint of your shoulder has the greatest range of motion of all joints in your body. And it is because of this wide range of motion that the shoulder is injured most easily. When the shoulder joint gets stiff and painful, you may as well quit work, for any further effort would make matters worse. There are various conditions which bring about this trouble. According to scientific authorities, the shoulder has evolved from a walking joint, when man's predecessor walked on four legs, to a weight-carrying joint. Therefore, the human shoulder has lost much of its previous stability, strength, and durability. It seems likely that the condition called "a stiff, painful shoulder" is due to rupture of one of the small tendons of the joint. This rupture is associated with the existence of deposits of material in the tendon around iV n n n APPARENTLY the way in which the rupture occurs is first a small break or tear of this tendon and. second, the changes that take place in the tissue due to an insufficient blood supply or presence of infection. Sometimes the tendon tears, due to a dislocation of the shoulder; in other cases due to the nature of the work of the individual. In one case the tendon tore following an attempt to toss a stone out of a trench; in another when a worker tried to pull down on a chain hoist. In a third person, the tendon tore when he was tying a saddle girth and the strap suddenly broke. A middle-aged woman slipped on an oiled floor and, in trying to save her balance, threw her arm up so high that it tore the tendon. In another case a man took a job in which he had to pass heavy weights upward for long periods of time and finally ruptured this tendon. nun WHEN the tendon ruptures, the pain may not be severe; however, as the changes take place in the tissues following the rupture, the pain gradually becomes worse, usually more so at night, so that it prevents or interrupts sleep. It thus becomes obvious that in many instances stiff, painful shoulders are due to damage to the tissues and that only the greatest of care of this damage can bring relief. Sometimes the application of heat or of splints will bring help. Sometimes i f L necessary to rule out diabetes, gout and rheumatic disorders. Finally, it may be necessary to open the tissues to determine whether there is need for cleaning and repair.

This is the third of a series of articles on members of the staff of The Indianapolis Times. This series is written to give you personal highlights of the men and women who make your newspaper. tt u a a tt a BY NORMAN E. ISAACS Times News Editor “T IFE to me seems to be just one darned politician after another,” -L/ sighs Daniel M. Kidney, The Indianapolis Times statehouse reporter. Dan Kidney is a strapping six-footer whose middle initial stands for McCarthy, and who insists that long association with Republicans and Democrats has made him an out-and-out Red. But his office colleagues look on Daniel with skeptical eyes. They chide him with being a "Parlor Pink.” Our statehouse expert is very much of a cynic. He boasts of a very high disregard for politicians and he thinks the two greatest men the country ever produced were old Robert (Fighting Bob) La Follette and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Pushed very hard, Big Dan might cast his vote for the late, great Fighting Bob.

Irishmen are that way. They’re incurably romantic and sentiment holds the upper hand. After looking over the hordes of politicians, Dan Kidney each working day separates the news from the balderdash and then dashes off to 4211 Park avenue each evening to renew' his faith in mankind. Vor Daniel McCarthy Kidney, you see, has three little assets—two girls and a boy. When the first Kidney offspring arrived on this earth, our Daniel waxed poetical. He dashed off a poem about his first born, Patricia. Papa's poetry was fairly good. Patricia galloped into print. But when Mary came, Dan’s poetry fell off. And when Daniel Junior ("Danny) arrived on the scene, Big Dan couldn't even muster a triolet. a a LIKE all true Irishmen, Daniel McCarthy Kidney is very much a humorist. For concrete evidence, here’s how he describes his early life: “I was born in Davenport, la. My father took one look at me and moved into Illinois, exclaiming: ‘I don’t want this to ever happen again.’ ” Our Daniel is a tall, well-set up gentleman of somew'hat large proportions. He stands very erect and he looks more the part of a successful politician than a reporter with his graying hair and perpetual smile. But Daniel has a mischievous twinkle in those eyes. When he leaves the office looking like a well-satisfied tomcat, you can bet your bottom dollar that one Irishman has something up his sleeve and that somebody at the state-

The Screen's Going Western Again and They Certainly Put

npHE screen is going western again by presenting he-men in old-fashioned western horse melodramas. Many of the larger houses over the country are going in for these westerns. The Apoll(f theater goes western today with the feature picture, "Frontier Marshal,” with George O'Brien as the galloping two-fisted fighter and Berton Churchill as the

crooked mayor of Tombstone, the bad spot of Arizona of the old days. It will depend a great deal upon the kind of mood you are in if you can take this one or not. If you still have a liking for 10, 20 and 30cent melodrama then you will get some thrills out of this western.

Never have I seen so much overacting on the part of actors as in this one. At times I couldn’t tell whether Mr. O'Brien, Irene Bentley, George E. Stone, Alan Edwards, Ruth Gillette and Mrs. Churchill were spoofing the story or not. They seemed that deadly in earnest.

house had better watch their step. Mr. Kidney, it might be revealed here, has a glaring weakness. He has a penchant for perfume. He purchased for Mrs. Kidney a bottle of perfume for Christmas. New' Year's day Mrs. Kidney looked for the perfume. None was left. Mr. Kidney had finished the bottle, quite apparently on his handkerchiefs. Again, Daniel’s cynical impulses sometimes get the best of him. One of his ideas of good, clean fun w r as conceived only this last Christmas day when he spent the afternoon diligently coaching Daniel Junior, now two and a half years old, to say: "Santa Claus, Big Bum!” Mrs. Kidney entered the scene just as little Dan was reaching success. It took her twice as long to “unlearn” little Dan. but only about ohe-tenth as long to convince Big Dan that he is a better reporter than a home teacher. Daniel Junior was taught to say “Santa Claus, Nice Man” upon the warning that he might lose his toys, but that didn’t help Daniel Senior. DAN KIDNEY wasn’t out of high school but a few r weeks w'hen President Wilson said go. Daniel enlisted two weeks later. He went overseas as line sergeant in the A. E. F. He was assigned to the One hundred eighth battery of trench mortars in both the St. Mihiel and Meuse-Ar-gonne drives. "Mortars,” explains Dan, “are six-inch guns and as much protection to a fellow’s life as a slingshot.”

It may seem strange but this wild, shoot-’em-up movie of old western days when the heroine was as pure as the driven snow and the hero a saint even though he carried a fine collection of firearms, made me sort of relaxed and content. But every once and awhile I would come out of the ether long enough to discover that Ruth Gillette as Queenie LaVerne was

This was something new for residents of the community, who are not unaccustomed to strife, but whose battles in the past have been confined largely to political frays. Visioning a visit by John Dillinger and his terror mob, a hurryup call for police was sounded. Three squads of police under Sergeants Claude Kinder, William Purcell and Edwin Kruse, and state policeman Milton Keller roared to the scene, where they found dozens of empty machine gun shells and tear gas bombs near a cottage.

But Dan lived, and went home to Geneseo, 111. He went into business with his father and soon decided he liked the war better. He still was wanting to become a newspaper man, so he went to Marquette university at Milwaukee to be educated in journalism. During his school years he worked for the Milwaukee Journal as a police reporter. He finished school, got married and started editing a weekly paper in West Allis, Wis. During the day he w r as the advertising department and at night the editor. The Racine Journal-News gave him his first political assignment, in covering the senatorial campaign of Governor John C.

Informed that the “mobsters” had departed in two cars, one a coupe with Ohio license plates, Sergeant Kinder scratched his head, and then roared back to the city. Going directly to the jail, he found the suspects, already in jail, but not behind bars. The mystery was solved, when it was found, as Kinder suspected, that the mobsters merely were deputy sheriff Edward Kassenbrock and three other men, one a tear gas salesman, who had been having a little practice firing.

A Coup(e) Woman Finds Lost Car Through Bill.

MRS. MARGARET D. SULLIVAN, 1431 North Meridian street, was somewhat perturbed when she received notice from a rental agency to pay up back garage rent, or remove her car. She was perturbed, because she had not rented any garage, her car having been stolen last May. Deciding to investigate, she went to the garage and found her Packard coupe, of which she had had no previous trace. The car had been stripped of some of its parts.

Fair Enough By Westbrook Pegler APPARENTLY it is not strictly correct to say that the new deal is trying to spend the government out of debt. The new deal is saving money, also. Mr. Roosevelt, personally, has saved the taxpayers possibly as much as SIOO this week by refusing to approve a flight to Miami. Fla., by a delegation of congressmen who intended to inspect a site for a proposed military aviation base. This economy, applied against the debt of thirty-one billion dollars which the treasury will owe itself in June, 1935. will reduce the amount to $30,999,999,900. So, already, the outlook gets brighter. The only difficulty about the saving of the SIOO seems to be that the government has not saved any money in so long a time that

there are at present no facilities for keeping track of a saving. This may require the establishment of anew bureau in the treasury department, complete with an under-secretary and staff and possibly anew building. And, of course, there would have to be the customary picturesque and deserving Democrat of the bar-fly type to clip newspaper items and paste them in a scrap-book at a salary of SIOO a week for four years. In government, it costs money even to save money and this probably is one of the reasons why the new deal has been averse to unbridled thrift. Under a pro-

gram of rigid economy the government might save itself so deep into debt that there never would be any coming out of it. a tt a Hawaiian Flight Is Warning 'T'HE present case of the grounding of the airminded congressmen for reasons of economy will illustrate the cost of thrift in government. The aerial arm of the national defense now is regarded as the straight left jab which will keep the enemy out of range in the next war. The American left jab just now' is supposed to be much longer and better than Japan's left jab. The curent flight of the navy ships from the mainland to the Hawaiian Islands need not be regarded as any mere outing for the young officers involved but might better be looked upon as a demonstration to impress any one who happens to hear about it. including the Japanese, with the length, strength and efficiency of the American left jab. Governments are very subtle. The aeriel arm of the national defense depends to a great extent on the liberality of the statesmen and some statesmen are very dumb and petty, as they would have to be, in order to appeal to the sort of electorate which elects the sort of mayors, governors and statesmen who always are being elected. It is just as well to face the facts with regard to the sort of intelligence which elects the majority of the people’s choices. But realizing that statesmen are what they are, the best w r ay to arouse their sympathy for aviation is to give them occasional free rides in good government ships and throw' them into the company of aviation officers. The officers then can grab them by the lapels and tell them what they need in the way of equipment which, of course, comes down to money. o n tt Diplomats in Flight HOWEVER, some of the statesmen and holders of appointive office had been making a racket of their flying privilege. If they wished to go home for a week-end. even though the government was paying them excessive railroad mileage to cover their travel, they would call up the army or navy or the marines and commandeer big, efficient ships and the services of flying officers to take them there. Sometimes they carried their families with them on these journeys and there even were occasions W'hen some of the boys used government planes and pilots on social errands. Statesmen have plenty of gall. The result w'as that the army, navy and marine fliers couldn’t make their allotment of fuel suffice for their routine flying duties and it was decided henceforth to abolish this traffic altogether except on special authorization by the President. In this case, however, the mission of the statesmen w'as concerned directly with military aviation. Inasmuch as they are bound to go to Miami any way at government expense to inspect the field, a flight in an army plane seemed to be the best way. Perhaps later on they will go by train and spend a thousand dollars or more as the cost of saving SIOO, thus proving anew that economy is an expensive luxury the enjoyment of which ought to be restricted to the President himself. Mr. Roosevelt can be relied on not to practice it to excess. The SIOO saving will not ruin the country, to be sure, but the cost of these economies mounts up in geometrical progression.

THE cosmis time scale will be one of the chief concerns of astronomers in 1934. It is the biggest stumbling block in the otherwise fairly smooth path of the theory of the expanding universe. Until this theory came along, scientists had agreed reasonably well upon a scale for the universe. The age of our earth w T as placed at two billion years. It was assumed, on the basis of the ChamberlinMoulton theory, that our earth and the other planets came into existence two billion years ago as the result of an accident to the sun. A passing star was supposed to have pulled the material out of the sun which formed the solar system. The age of the sun. on the basis of various considerations, chiefly on the basis of what was thought to be the rate of stellar evolution, was given as about fifteen trillion years. Various estimates were given for the age of the universe itself. Sir James Jeans suggested a maximum limit of 200 trillion years. Sir Jeans also suggested an attractive picture of the beginning of the universe. He imagined all the material now consolidated into the spiral nebulae and the stars scattered through space in a uniform cloud. Then he imagined the cloud disturbed. The initial disturbance set in motion the play of gravitation forces which carved out the galaxies as we know them. What this initial disturbance was, he did not undertake to say, though he added that it might be thought of as the "finger of God.’’ nun ALL this, however, had to be changed with the advent of the theory of the expanding universe. And almost at once, astronomers found themselves faced with a difficult contradiction. It seemed that the rate of expansion of the universe w r as such that the universe could not be much more than a billion years old. This was a startling state of affairs for there was the best of evidence that our earth itself was two billion years old. Most scientists felt that a minimum figure of two billion years for the age of the universe would have to be found somehow. Fortunately, the situation was made easier during 1933 by Dr. Harlow Shapley, who pointed out at the November meeting of the National Academy of Sciences that new determinations of the distances of the spiral nebulae gave an age of five billion years for the universe, an age more than double that of the earth. Dr. Shapley showed that the distant spirals were farther away than was formerly thought. This meant that expansion had been going on a longer time.
