It Jeemr to Me HEVWOOP MIN VjITHEN I first started to write a column Bris- ▼ * bane, or F. P A. or some other veteran advised me to mention food a good deal. Any column about cookery ri supposed to produce letters from the traders. Food ranks next to religion as a controversial theme. I took the tip but it never did me mu:h good. Only a stylist can make a menu come •live. Christopher Morley, for instance, writes one of the be-t meals of any of the moderns. The older men did it even better. Dickens was a blue plate novelist and so was Thackeray. For years I've gone ahead ordering Bouillebaise whenever I could get it in the hope that it would taste as good as it sounds j in the famous ballad. It never has. Indeed I am of the opinion that the cooking ot ' the French is overrated. Its lure lies largely in the language. Before I ever went to Paris I had

read the novels about the painter or poet who sat at a sidewalk table and devoured les escargots. It is a lovely name and it was my ambition to meet this dish face to face with a fork in my hand. Finally the great moment came and I found that the escargot is a snail and a delusion. a a a Menu Writers in Lead THE men who write the menus in the restaurants of Paris are at least a league ahead of the chefs who prepare the dishes. They have learned the trick of making

even the least appetizing amphibian sound romantic when reduced to paper. As they say on the left bank a Parisian's meat may be another man's poison. I hope that > the French for fish. The snail, the frog, the mmel and even on occasions la cheval are con- | sidcred fit for humankind with the addition of a j little language, a sprig of garlic, and some sort of j butter sauce. In German restaurants I think they do things much better. There is no anti-climax. To examine the bill of fare is to have one's heart and stomach sink. The names of the dishes are too long, too harsh, too guttural. I went upon a recent steaming day to a Teutonic tavern in the town. I had small appetite upon sitting down and even less as I looked over a list of offerings which I could not begin to pronounce, let alone devour. At last in desperation I pointed with my finger to some brief remarks upon the bill of fare and said, "Bring me that.” a a a Old Home Disli THE waiter started to explain to just what I had committed myself, but I stopped him. “Please don't tell me.” I begged him. “I wish to be surprised.” Presently he came back and placed before my astonished and delighted eyes a platter of pig's knuckle and sauerkraut. It was the one delicacy out of all the world I could have wished if only I had thought of it. The knuckle of the pig is just the thing one wants in starting a light luncheon. It soothes but does not satisfy. I would not say that its presence never is indicated in the brisk days of spring or as fuel against the bitter elements of winter. But from my point of view pig's knuckle and sauerkraut is primarily a summer dainty. Its lightness of texture makes it compatible with the well-known theory that on hot days it is best to pass by the more hearty rations. Pig's knuckle, a seidel of beer and some j blueberry pie ala mode should be enough for even the heartiest eater when the sun's rays are pouring down. Residents of New York ought to appreciate their luck. It has been said frequently that the metropolis is not American in any true sense but a conglomeration of cosmopolites. Fortunately that is true of our j restaurants. From the great and elaborate places down to the all night wagons New York leads the nation in the matter of the skillful preparation of food. At the most obscure lunch room it is passible to get a steak which would be the envy of Chicago or Kansas City. Indeed out of all the cities of the world New York ranks third. It yields only to Havana and Shanghai. I also know one good place in Toledo, 0., and one in Carracas. Venezuela. •Copyright. 1934. bv The Times)

Today s Science BY DAVID DIETZ

A COMBINATION of radio beacon and submarine signals which not only enables a ship to get its direction, but also its distance from a lightship has been perfected in Europe, according to Dr. Orestes H. Caldwell, president of the New York Electrical Society and former federal radio commissioner. Perfection of radio beacon signals for guiding ships through fog have made it apparent how necessary such an invention has become. Accuracy of the radio beam of the lightship Nantucket cost the lives of seven members of the crew and caused the destruction of the ship. On May 15. the giant White Star liner Olympic was coming in through a dense fog. getting its bearings by radio from the Nantucket stationed off Nantucket Shoals. So accurate were the radio signals that the giant liner came in pointed for the very middle of the ligtship end before anything could be done knifed her way right through the lightship. Four of the eleven men on the lightship were lost at sea in the accident. Three of the seven who were taken aboard the Olympic died from injuries received in the accident. The new device, described by Dr. Caldwell, will give a ship its distance from the lightship and so ought to prevent the recurrence of such an accident. The new device consists of a talking radio beam. For example, the automatic recorded voice on the radio beam "ill say. * Fishgate Lightship. North Sea. One mile. Two miles. Three miles" and so on. a a a lITHFN an ocean liner, or other ship equipped W with the proper receiving apparatus, picks up the radio beacon, it knows that it is on the right course. All it need do. then, is to listen, with its submarine detection apparatus, for the underwater signal. The voice is synchronized to the time it takes the underwater signal to travel. Consequently, if the submarine signal is heard at the instant when the voice on the radio beacon says "four miles.” then the captain knows that his ship is four miles from the lightship. It is possible therefore, for a ship to make a continuous check of its position as it draws near a lightship. It is believed that the same method can be used to guide small boats into shelters during fogs. In addition, it can be used to help locate fishermens dones during a fog. a a m RECENT complaints about the accuracy of radio beacons have come in at times when spots were observed on the sun. Such spots seem at times to be connected with magnetic storms which make the magnetic compass useless, interfere with long telegraph and telephone lines and increase displays of the northern lights or aurora borealis. This disaster to the Nantucket also has raised the question of the advisability of having a radio beacon directed in such a wav that an oncoming ship would not be led directly into the lightship. There had been several extremely close shaves for the lightship before the Olympic rammed it.

SARAJEVO FORGETS ITS ‘CRIME’

Time Dims Memory of Shot Which Incited World War

BY MILTON RRONNER NEA Service Writer SARAJEVO. June 28—" On this historic spot Gabirle Princip proclaimed liberty on St. Vitus’ day, June 28. 1914.” Such is the inscription on a plain memorial tablet set in a house on the river quayside in Sarajevo. On Feb. 2, 1930, this tablet was unveiled, the date coinciding with the fifteenth anniversary of the death of Princip in an Austrian prison. The Yugoslav government officially took no part in the ceremonies. In fact, it lorbade any speeches being made. But one of the eighty young Bosnian and Serb students, arrested with Princip twenty years ago. went to the tribune and. addressing the assembled crowd, said: People, we have met here to pay tribute to him who was greatest among us. At present the most dignified tribute is silence.” After two minutes of quiet, the speaker wound up the ceremonies by saying:: "Glory to the hero. Gabirle Princip.” And the crowd responded by chanting in unison:

"Glory! Glory! Glory!” Who was this hero, this great young man? He was the perpetrator of the most fatal crime in history of the modern world. For he assassinated the Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife in Sarajevo on June 28 twenty years ago today. This murder of the heir to the Austrian throne resulted in the ultimatum by the Austro-Hun-garian empire to the old Serbia and let loose the fatal chain of events which led to the wholesale human butchery of the World war. a a a SAVE for a monument to the murdered archduke and archduchess erected by the Austro - Hungarian government in 1917. the tablet to Princip, and the naming of one of the bridges of the town—"Princip Bridge” there is little in Sarajevo to indicate its evil reputation or show much change at all. Today the Yugoslav flag flies where once the Austro-Hungarian b.nners flapped. Today the big barracks are filled w’ith Yugoslav instead of Austrian ana Hungarian troops. There also is a certain amount of modernization of the ancient Russia, of which Sarajevo is the capital. The Austrian masters made some modern improvements. They put up some new buildings. The Yugoslavs have carried on this work. But in all essentials Sarajevo is what it has always been for centuries—a Turkishlooking town. And the religion of a considerable part of the townfolk is Maslem, for in 1389 the Turks broke the *back of Serb power in the great battle of Kossovo. And for centuries then the Turks held the Balkans.

The ~ DAILY WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND By Drew Pearson and Robert S. Allen

WASHINGTON, June 28.—The army’s flight of ten Martin bombers to Alaska has a lot more behind it than meets the naked eye. Alaska plus the Aleutian islands is the focal point for either defense or attack in any war in the Pacific. How rapidly and how safely American airplanes can get to Alaska in such an cmeigency is of vi.al by fe% . people is the navy * s survey c" the Aleutian islands west of Kodiak bay two years ago. To the general public, especially the Japanese public, the work was done for the coast and geodetic survey of the commerce department. Actually the navy wanted to find out what harbors were safe for airplane bases in time of war. Now the army has launched another move which indicates that the military strategists are not to be unprepared in the Pacific. 'aaa a a a THE President had a good time during his educational pilgrim ge to Yale, but it did not hold a candle to the enjoyment he got out of his stay at Groton two weeks before. J i a a a

There were no newspaper men, no photographers present during that visit, and the real story of how the President enjoyed himself has not yet leaked out. The truth was that he was a boy again. Instead of sitting on the platform with all the ether dignitaries. he sat in the general audience. To those, who saw and talked with him he was not the President of the United States, but just another Groton grad out to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of his school. On a par with him in receiving the spotlight was George Rublee, the first boy ever to graduate from Groton. Rublee, now 66, though he appears 50, has a unique distinction. He was the first editor of "The Grotonian,” first captain of the '■'aseball team, first senior form adviser. All Groton reveres and loves him. aa a * THEREFORE, when George Rublee, tall, angular, bashful, poked his nose into the dining room the night Groton was celebrating its fiftieth anniversary, he got a tremendous ovation. Finally he was led to the guest table, where he was greeted by Dr. Peabody, founder of the school. Beside him sat Franklin Roosevelt, for the moment honor guest. But not for long. "Somebody kick this chair out of the way.” commanded the President. “George Rublee, our honor guest, must sit here.” And then, as no one moved the President, he moved his own chair out of the way and pulled Rublee down to the seat of honor beside Dr. Peabody. a a a NOT too much love is lost between California's two senators—Hiram Johnson and William Gibbs McAdoo—but they have one completely sympathetic ground in common: War debts. Johnson sired the bill preventing any country that does not pay its debts from floating any loans in this country. This went well. So he looked around for other retaliations. McAdoo. in California, sent him a wire suggesting a bill requiring a charge of SI,OOO for each passport to France. England, or any other debt defaulter, unless it could be shown that the visit was necessary in the interest of the United States. The state department nearly had apoplexy. The senate didn't take it seriously. Neither McAdoo nor Johnson really expected any results, but they had a lot of fun making the gesture. And. si* y or not. French AmbassadorjJe Laboulaye and his staff were noticeably worried over the feint.

a a a SARAJEVO lies in a cup surrounded by high mountains. Today it numbers more than 80,000 people. The new suburbs r.re climbing up the mountain sides. But no matter from where the town is viewed, it justifies its title of "City of the 100 Mosques.” Everywhere the domes and slender minarets are to be .seen. West and east strangely are juxtaposed, but the east is predominant, just as there is a majority of Moslems in the towq council and often a Moslem mayor. The west is evident with its electric lights, its street car. lines, its two new streets of the modern shopping center, its hotels, opera house and museum. But a short turn, and one is in a maze of narrow, twisting streets —a door into the Arabian Nights. Here are the Turkish wooden houses with their latticed windows. Mosques. Real oriental bazars, each tiny shop with its workman-proprietor busy at his job. A noisy lane of brass-workers, hammering out their copper and brass bowls. A street of tin workers, leather workers. The strident cries of mule-drivers. The musical calls of the peddlers of melons, baked meats, coffee, lemonade and drinking water. a a a HERE is a crowd around a soothsayer, who will tell your fortune in the pile of sand he has before him. There is another crowd around a man who writes letters for the illiterate. The men are dressed in loose, baggy trousers, often in very bright colors, and most of them

THE fate of the national labor board has precipitated a polite but pointed tug-of-war in inner New Dea 1 quarters. Cause of the dispute was the last-minute passage of the President’s substitute for the Wagner labor disputes bill. Under this act he is empowered to set up special boards to conduct employe elections in industries where labor controversies arise. The law makes no reference to the national labor board, created by executive order last August under authority of the NIRA. Senator Bob Wagner, chairman of the board, strongly favors its continuance as a sort of permanent administrative foundation for such special boards as may be established, and as a clearing house for minor disputes. This meets with the approval ot Madame Perkins—provided, however, the national labor board is made an adjunct of her department, and the trained personnel of her bureau of conciliation is used by the board. Wagner has no objection to such an arrangement. a a a THE President discussed the matter at length with both c' cials before departing for his Yale university visit. He indicated general approval of their plans. But—he did not confer with General Hugh Johnson, a very potent party in the shuffle. Privately Johnson would like to see the national labor board junked. This was the basis of his undercover hostility to the Wagner bill, which would have greatly increased the board's power. What Johnson wants is abandonment of the NLB, leaving the industrial relations boards, in each coded industry, to take over its work. In cases such as the steel labor controversy, where these code agencies are inadequate, Johnson would then have the President step in by appointing a special board under the new law. Undoubtedly the President will consult with Johnson before he makes a decision. What those in the know are keenly watching is with whom the President will side: Perkins and Wagner, or the clattering excavalryman. a a a THE beverage list of General Hugh Johnson's NRA first anniversary dinner showed marked coding influence. It read: "Sherry. ad lib, champagne, with reason. port, after the storm, beer, for those who can handle it.” . . .

HUSBAND MAY NAP ON PORCH IF HE WANTS TO, CITY COPS DECIDE

"I want police to come to my house right away,” an irate voice crackled over the wires at police headquarters yesterday. ’‘What’s the trouble, lady?” dispatcher Jim Senteney asked patiently. "My husband's sleeping on the front porch and he won’t come in. He says it’s too hot. I want the police to make him come inside.’* “Is he drunk?” “No, he never drinks,” the voice sputtered indignantly. “You’d better call the weather man, then,” the dispatcher said courteously. “I’m afraid the police can’t do you any good.”

TODAY and TOMORROW a a a a a a By Walter Lippmann

IN Wall Street, among many industrial leaders who are in close touch with the financial community there is a mental depression which is undoubtedly an important obstacle to the revival of enterprise. The cold facts, judged by virtually all the accepted standards of measurement, are reassuring. The state of mind of the country as a whole, judged by the ordinary signs by which men of affairs test the temper of the people, is one of subsiding discontent and increasing hopefulness. Yet among men of large affairs, not in all but in a great number, there is anxiety

and doubt as to the future. Thus, for example, taking the most salient of the indexes of economy conditions, the federal reserve board figures for industrial activity, we find that from November to May the index rose from 72 per cent of the 19231925 average to 87 per cent. This is at the rate of a little better than tw r o points a month and is an amazingly rapid rate of recovery. A continuation of this rate for another six months would restore activity to the statistical normal. At even half this rate activity would be normal within a year. It has been accompanied by a slow but persistent rise in commodity prices, by a sensational Improvement in the bond market, by an immense strengthening not only of the federal government’s credit but of the credit of states and municipalities and railroads, by a cessation of bank failures, by a substantial increase of the earnings of labor and of corporate profits, by a marked diminution of commercial failures. There are, to be sure, still many millions of unemployed, there are millions on relief, there are agricultural areas and industries which have not revived. But no one can look at the picture as a whole and doubt that there has been immense progress toward recovery.

service, winding up with the reminder: “Prayer is better than sleep! Prayer is better than sleep!” And the prayers—often—are for world peace.

can there be any doubt that this real improvement in conditions is reflected in the temper of the people. There have, for example, been some labor disputes. But the country thus far has been spared industrial con fiicts which are. comparable in intensity with those that took place toward the epd of the first post-war depression. The biggest threats to industrial peace until now have been composed by negot! >n. The congress which recently adjourned w'as, when it was elected, the most highly inflationary and the most angry congress which has been elected in this generation. With one or two lapses it maintained its discipline to the end followed a leadership which essentially was moderate and, having redeemed its pledges to make laws against the abuses of 1929, it manifested an unmistakable intention not to go beyond the regulation of flagrant evils. The congress granted vast pjwers to the President. But in spite of the belief in some quarter that he is surrounded by a coterie bent upon overthrowing private capitalism, the objective record at the most crucial point, which is NRA, is marked by a decisive and steady retreat from the program of “regimentation” and restriction of output. One would suppose that in the presence of these developments there would be in conservative quarters a feeling of confidence that our problems are soluble, and that American institutions are working sufficiently well to justify a faith that, having met and surmounted a desperate crisis, we can deal with what the future has in store for us. Among the wisest this confidence does, I believe, exist. But it is not the prevailing attitude of mind, and it would be interesting to know why it is not. a a a WHEN those who are filled with anxiety are asked to give their reasons, there are, as might be expected, a variety of responses. One of them is that the recovery so far is dependent upon enormous government expenditures and is therefore artificial; that these expenditures either will wreck the government's credit and drive it to the printing press, or they will require such stupendous taxes as to take all the profit out of private enterprise. Now, no one can deny that these dangers exist, and that it is important to keep them in mind. The question is whether it is certain or even probable that these possible dangers will be realized. My own view is that with ordinary prudence and wisdom they are not probable dangers. As for taxes, they are very high, in>my opinion too high for this stage of recovery. But the very fact that they are high guarantees ample revenues to balance the budget as recovery proceeds to produce profits and bigger incomes. (Copyright. 1931) 0

Entered * Secnnd-CLi** Matter at Poatoflfiee. Indianapolla. Ind.

Fair Enough WEWH THERE is a great bother in New York just now over the appointment of Dr. Charles Fama, a physician with political complications, to one of the municipal medical jobs. Dr. Fama has criticised the Catholic religion quite openly for some years and his appointment to public office is challenged as an affront to Catholics, to religious freedom, and to Americanism. He is widely unknown, but his case represents a condition which is familiar all over this country.

The doctor is one who likes to march in parades. He also may be a good physician, although an incident comes to mind in which another physician might have been a little more diligent. On that occasion. Dr. Fama was called to attend a young woman who appeared to have a bad cold. “You have a very bad cold,” the doctor said, “and you must be very careful because you are on the verge of pneumonia.” The next day. the patient felt worse and a telephone call was made to Dr. Fama's office. But the doctor was not in

town. Dr. Fama had gone to Atlantic City, N. J., to march in some parade. There was no fault to find with his medical opinion, however. The patient went unattended while he was off marching in the parade and pneumonia duly developed. To be sure, it might have developed anyway, but the physician who was called in then said he thought that inasmuch as Dr. Fama had accepted the case he should have made some arrangement to continue the observation and treatment if it was absolutely necessary for him to march in the parade in Atlantic City. a a a An Interesting Taboo / T'HE political doctor, who marches in parades, has a divided interest and there are those who will argue that from the professional standpoint the combination is not ideal. Yet, under the patronage system of government, the appointments to the medical jobs generally go to doctors who are politicians on the side, or politicians who are doctors between clam-bakes, chowder parties, mass-meet-ings, and parades. However, in his political character, Dr. Fama can be admired for his nerve. Because it does take nerve to get up and holler any sort of criticism of anything that is either Catholic or Jewish in New York City. The cry of bigotry religious intolerance and un-Americanism is terrible to face and few politicians, business men or professional men in New York are rash enough to take the chance. The critic who does this is outnumbered as overwhelmingly as the Catholic or Jew who dared to get up and denounce the Ku Klux Klan in, say, Goose Creek, Tex., or Kissimmee, Fla., ten years ago. There may be something in what he says just ns there was serious fault to be found with the actions of the Ku Klux in those days, but religion is a terribly dangerous subject. This is an interesting taboo. It would seem that if the American standard of intelligence is as nigh as it is supposed to be, the people would be able to hear criticism of their religion just for the opportunity of explaining and refuting. But, instead, the instant that a religion is mentioned, the members of that faith wince and decide, deep in their hearts, that the man who is expressing an honest doubt or objection is their personal enemy. ana The Building Is Shaking IN the newspaper business about the first thing that a young reporter learns is that that package up on the high shelf in the publisher's office, labeled “Religion—Dangerous,” is a bomb of such dreadful power that only the editorial writer ever is allowed to dust it off. And not even the editorial writer is allowed to open it. You pry up the lid on that package up there on the high shelf by the tiniest crack and, bang! You might blow up the entire building. Anyway, you will blow yourself out of your job. Consequently, the newspapers, which are the peoples’ reading, seldom carry on any discussion of religion beyond the gentle and noncommittal reporting of the Sunday sermons on Monday morning and the church schedule for the Sabbath on Saturday. And a great mass of the most absurd trash is printed on Monday mornings, uttered by flippant or ignorant or publicity-crazy preachers under the immunity of the taboo. Much of this matter must be humiliating to religion itself because it misrepresents religion so foully and irresponsibly. Now I wonder if I have blown up the building?

Your Health “BY DK. MORRIS FISHBEIN”

YOUR eye is the most delicate organ in your body. Therefore, it requires more attention than any other part of the body. In most of us, the eyes change as we grow older. Yet far too many persons fail to consider the changes that take place m the eyes, because these changes are so gradual we are not aware of them. To determine just how much attention Americans give to their sight; investigators for the United States Public Health Service looked into the records of almost 9,000 families in 130 cities of eighteen states for one year. The figures show quite definitely that we do not have our eyes examined a.s often as we should. Up to fifty years of age more women than men have defective vision. Along about middle life the eye begins to lose its ability to see perfectly, and those changes begin earlier among women than among men. B B B IT has been found that the height of the family income bears relationship to the amount of care given the eyes. Naturally, persons with larger incomes pay more attention to their sight than do those with small incomes, which is probably one of nature’s little jokes, since the persons with small incomes need good sight more than those with larger incomes. Moreover, those in professional, business, or clerical occupations pay more attention to their sight than do laboiers. For years the medical profession has been urging physical examination at least once each year for every person who wants to find defects of the body at the earliest possible moment, and in this way to give them some sort of control. The figures show that those persons who have regular physical examinations also are intelligent about their eyes, since a far greater number of this class had a good examination of their vision once each year. B B B AS an indication of how badly a considerable number of persons need proper attention to their sight, the fact was established that 80 per cent of those who had examinations of the eyes found that they needed glasses. You should have your eves examined properly at least once each year, particularly after middle life. Among signs and symptoms of disturbances of the eyes or of vision are headaches, inability to see distant objects better than those held close to the eye, redness and swelling of the eyeball or inside or edges of the eyelid. If a child shows any of these symptoms or if h rubs his eyes, frowns, squints, or wrinkles his forehead, he should have his eyes examined immediately by someone who understands the nature of vision.
