It Seems to Me HEM BROUN "IlfE were sitting around swapping stories about * “ the war. There was an artist, an aviator and a newspaper man. Each had followed his particular craft In France. Unfortunately everybody could think of some experience which had been humorous or exciting. ‘ You see,” said the aviator, ‘ that's the trouble with the peace movement. People go to war because they get bored. You’ve

got to hand something to war. Whatever its horrors you must admit that it provides incident." I admit nothing of the sort. One of the chief charges to be leveled against conflict is that mast of its obligations are so deadly tiresome. Back in 1917 some--body wrote a short story about a shoe clprk who heard a brass band and became fired by patriotism. He decided to enlist and give his life for his country. They put a uniform upon him and shipped him across the seas. At Brest he

was assigned to the service of supplies and until the armistice was signed he stayed there in a depot fitting shoes on doughboys. Even in the front line there were sections where for days and weeks and months the soldiers almost prayed for an attack because it was so very dreary Bitting in the mud and doing nothing. nan There Is Xo Choice TJUT I know one vast appeal which war makes to the masses of mankind in many countries. Until this appeal is curtailed gravely or abolished it will be difficult to make peace persuasive. It is my belief that, ironically enough, the chief thing which war has to offer is security. When the drums begin to roll they speak not so much of high adventure as of shoes and shirts, corned beef and overcoats. The laborer is worthy of his hire and he can't be docked or fired or laid off. He has enlisted for duration. Os course, he may be killed or maimed or hurt most hideously, but even so a paternal government provides hearses, ambulances, nurses, doctors and hospital cots. Doom may stalk his steps by day and in the night, but all necessity of decision has been removed. If there is a rendezvous with death it must be kept, but at least there is no choice about the matter. Your name is written on a shell or it isn’t. What is there to wprry about? At least one does not have to agonize about the possibility of the next meal or a lodging for the night. The soldier lives, even though it may be briefly, upon the tribute paid to heroes and not the grudging dole allotted to the unfit and unemployed. I am not speaking any fantastic nonsense shredded out of theorizing. The plight of the 600 in the valley of death never was quite so harsh as that of the 1,200 living dead men moled down below' the town of Pecs. In fact my eye was caught and compelled by one item in a story about the Hungarian miners the day before they pushed away the stone and crawled back into the sunlight. One of the messages relayed up from under the earth read as follows: “We w’ere soldiers in war and were protected then. We now’ are soldiers of production and claim protection likewise. We will not leave the depths of the earth unless all our claims are accepted. If they are refused we are ready to die to a man.” ana The Horrors of Peace TN other words it is and always will be quite use- -*■ less to talk about the liorors of war until we are prepared to sweep away the horrors of peace. People go to war because they are filled with fear. They fear the slow extinction which creeps up gradually upon undcrnourisned men. They fear not only starvation but the threat of starvation which denies them the small mercy of sleep. You can not go to men who have walked city streets all night because tthey were without shelter and expect them to shudder at any tale horrors along Vimy or in the forts beyond Verdun. One of the greatest threats of war lies in the existence of great blocs of unemployed persons. Here is fuel for any spark since they stand in serried ranks quite unafraid of death. Already they have rubbed shoulders with oblivion. The miners of Pecs declared repeatedly that they would rather starve themselves to death than be s f arved at the hands of others. It will be impossible in all parts of the world to make war horrible until we make peace good. The battle lies along economic lines. If you ask a man, "Why should you be blown to bits by shrapnel for no sensible reason?” He may put you in a hole by replying, “And why should I starve to death through equally aimless causes?” Man will refuse to die only when he is assured that he has the right to live.

METHODS exist by Which trade wastes can be treated chemically to prevent pollution of rivers and harbors, according to Dr. Foster D. Snell, consulting chemist of Brooklyn. N. Y. Dr. Snell discusses these in a report to the division of water, sewage and sanitation of the American Chemical Society. He points out that the problem has become increasingly important with the growth of cities and new industries. The situation is a serious one. since rivers and lakes constitute important natural resources of the nation. Pollution destroys fishing, interferes with swimming. ...,kes it difficult to purify the water for drinking purposes, and otherwise creates complications. m m a THE waste from each individual plant presents its own chemical problem, according to Dr. Snell. "Adequate treatment of waste is an especial problem of textile mills,” he says. “These have to get rid of used dye baths in many cases as well as a variety of concentrated treating solutions such as boiloff liquors, mercerizing liquors and bleach solutions.” “A large number of methods of treatment are in existence.” Dr. Snell says. “Waste which contains a large amount of organic matter may be treated with bacteria so that it is digested and dissolved in the same way as in the bacteria treatment of sewage.” he says. Dye wastes may be allowed to stand in contact with activated carbon for a time. This absorbs the color so that the waste liquor becomes substantially colorless and can run on into the stream without too noticeable an effect. “Avery alkaline discharge may be treated with an acid to give a harmless, neutral solution, or an acid may be treated with an alkali.” a m a A COMBINATION of wastes sometimes helps to simplify the situation, one waste neutralizes another. For example. Dr. Snell points out. the waste from a “pouring” operation, which is acid, will tend to neutralize the waste from a mercerizing bath, which is alkaline, in the same way. waste bleach liquors will help lighten the color in the dye wastes. “One method of treatment which has been found to be economical and to have wide application is coagulation of color and other impurities by formation of Iron or aluminum hydroxide in the waste liquor.” he continues. “Any one who has studied chemistry will be famP‘ j with the fluffy, jelly-like precipitate that * i when an iron or aluminum salt in solution * t with sodium hydroxide. This precipitate settk * to the bottom of the container slowly, and when it does. It carries along with it any particles of dirt or other foreign matter that may be present in the liquid. ••■nils same reaction Is used to remove the harmful, contaminating substances from the waste waters of many plants.”

BY MORRIS GILBERT NEA Service Staff Correspondent PARIS. Oct. 18.—Far from the turmoil of international affairs, in the lap of a rich and beautiful countryside, most of which belongs to him, the ancient armament king, Basileios Zacharias, alias Sir Basil. Zaharoff, companion of the Bath and grand officer of the Legion of Honor, takes his ease. This is on his estate—“domain” is the word he uses for it himself—at Balincourt on the edge of the lie de France, north of Paris, on the road betw’een Pontoise and Beauvois. The chateau of Balincourt used to belong to the Bareness Vaughan, mistress of Leopold II of the Belgians. Zaharoff bought it in 1916, with much adjacent property, and has been adding to his holdings ever since. Whole villages have been bought by his agents and he is now literally lord of all he surveys in a long motor ride.

Asked to rule on the case before the general election, Nov. 6, Special Judge Henry Seyfried was to hold a hearing in circuit court on the suit brought by Don Irwin, Republican state chairman, testing the eligibility of M.

Mr. Irw’in’s suit contends that Mr. Townsend can not serve as Lieu-tenant-Governor because he has been named agriculture commissioner in Governor Paul V. McNutt’s administration.

The Indianapolis Times

At the age of 82, the requirements of this armament king—the French call him the richest man in the world—are growing simpler and more complicated at the same time. The simplicity appears in the life he leads. The complications appear in the precautions he takes to guard that life. n n n THERE is not a single point on the highroad, or the side roads leading around the domain of Balincourt, where the chateau of Sir Basil Zaharoff can be seen. A high w'all shields everything. And behind the high w'all, a virtual forest rises to obstruct the view. The gates of the chateau are high and strong, and a group of surly dependents guard them day and night. Six Hindus form Sir Basil’s personal bodyguard, according to the information of nearby villagers. “The six Hindus are devoted to him to the death,” villagers say. “They are armed night and day and mount a perpetual guard.

to go to trial first in New York on a charge of extortion. New York was where the ransom was paid. The case against Hauptmann on this charge, they believe, is perfect. On the murder and kidnaping charge, however, the case still is being worked up. The strategy would be to get a conviction on extortion in New York, then move the case to Jersey for the murder charge. This way there would be no slip-up. a a a NAVY Secretary Swanson loves a political fight. In fact he is a real fire-eater when it comes to Rattling for naval appropriations. But be that as it may he considers discretion the better part of valor. So the other day when he had to decide between two conflicting allegiances at a football game, he —ducked! It was on the occasion of the colorful Navy-Virginia classic, played in Griffith stadium before a large crowd. Swanson was invited to be the guest of honor. The entire Naval academy corps attended and the student body from the University of Virginia. But the grizled Swanson, after long deliberation, turned down the invitation. An admiral, surprised, asked him about it. “Well, it's this way,” replied Swanson, with a twist of his long and fierce mustachios, “I love football games, and I'd love this one particularly. But I'm afraid to take a chance. You see, I'm an alumnus of the University of Virginia. That's one side. Also I'm secretary of the Navy. That's the other side. And,” he said with a grin, “I'm old enough to know when I'm putting myself on the spot. I’ll stay home and read, thanks.” a a a THE board that took over General Hugh Johnson's job has found plenty to do. In the two weeks it has been functioning it has sat in continuous session, from early morning until late afternoon. So far relations among the seven members have been harmonious, although tinctured by several warm debates. Whether this state of amity is a real peace, or merely an armed truce, remains to be seen. The group as yet has not tackled a serious controversial issue, such as wages, hours, price-fixing. (Copyright 1934. by United Feature Syndicate. Inc.i

THE NATIONAL ROUNDUP u a a a By Ruth Finney

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.—The federal trade commission’s report to the President on the textile industry may answer the last of the questions troubling the industrial world—the meaning of the term “fair profits.”

None of the reassurances so far given by the President or his advisers on the subject of profits has shed light on the meaning of the qualifying word “fair.” In his Green Bay speech the President linked with his discussion of profits a reference to “those obligations to the public interest which rest upon us all.” Since then he has ordered the cotton garment industry to shorten work hours without reducing wages. On the other hand, Donald R. Richberg, director of the industrial emergency council, in citing accomplishments of NRA reported to the President a rise in profits from minus 6.9 in the first quarter of 1933 to plus 33.2 in the second quarter of 1934. He added Standard Statistics Company figures showing that net profits of 506 companies of 'all types increased more than 200 per cent in the first half of 1934, while net profits of 402 indusrial companies “rose from $47,380,000 in the first half of 1933 to $355,--870,000 in the first half of 1934, an increase of over 600 per cent.” He sought to show the “dominant influence of the NRA in this industrial advance.” a a a THE federal trade commission was ordered to investigate the ecoomic status of the textile industry as one of the conditions leading to settlement of the recent cotton textile strike. Four thousand questionnaires inquiring into profits, investments and labor costs have been mailed out to cotton, woolen, rayon and silk mills. The commission is expected to report within a month or six weeks. Its findings as to whether or not wages can be increased

the rain water that may have gathered in puddles. So when the master comes rolling out, followed a-foot by one of his Hindus, the paths are neat and clean again. Prize sheep and pigs are the special delight of Sir Basil Zaharoff. He has imported herds of sheep from England: and so great is his solicitude for these pets that he knows immediately if one of them is limping. He dines at night with his adopted daughter, Mme. Bourbon, who will inherit much of the Zaharoff millions. He already is buying great stretches of property direct in her name, to avoid inheritance difficulties. Life at the chateau is not gay, to believe the villagers. No parties. “In the days of Leopold it certainly w r as different!” they say. “It was fetes, dances, laughter, all the time at Balincourt. Nowadays it isn’t the same. Mr. Zaharoff doesn’t like parties. He says it's money wasted!”

under existing conditions, and the President’s- subsequent action, should give an acurate gauge of what profits the administration considers reasonable. The National City bank’s report on industrial profits for the first half of 1934 showed textiles earning a profit of 5.8 per cent. However, all branches of the industry were lumped together. The trade commission is expected to differentiate between cottons, which the Winant board referred to as “a sick industry,” and the other textile groups. The bank’s report showed only two groups of reporting industries with losses in the first half of 1934—construction and railroads. In the same period of 1933, losses were reported by eight groups. This year automobiles showed a profit of 12.2 per cent on invested capital; chemicals, 10 per cent; coal, 2.3 per cent; food, 10.4 per cent; machinery, 6.1 per cent; merchandising, 4.2 per cent; mining, 8.7 per cent; and petroleum, 3.8 per cent. a a a FIGURES compiled by the federal reserve bank of New York show net profits of 407 corporations as $385,000,000 for the first half of this year. In 1933 the net was $75,000,000: in 1932, $19,000,000. and in 1931, $361,000,00. The People’s Lobby, headed by Dr. John Dewey, called on the President to limit profits, and announced that bills to accomplish this would be introduced in congress. The same issue was raised at the Protestant Episcopal convention at Atlantic City by the Very Rev. John W. Day, dean of Grace cathedral of Topeka, Kan. Addressing a young people's meeting, Dr. Day suggested the desirability of anew economic system “based upon use instead of profit." The Roosevelt administration, he said, is ‘‘still dedicated to the preservation of capitalism and all that it means in international warfare, race hatreds, sweatshops, and economic slavery generally.” The address started a sharp discussion and was followed by a demand from J. R. Burrow, Topeka banker, that Dr. Day be removed from Grace church.

Fair Enough WESINMEMER IT has been a cruel shock to me to observe how badly some political observers were shocked by the disclosure that James A. Farley is a spoils politician. Mr. Farley wrote .some years ago, to Robert Moses, the current Republican nominee for Governor of New York, that only Democrats should be appointed to certain jobs. He added that he never had seen a Republican officeholder give any consideration to a Democrat. This honest revelation of Jim Farley's principle is

received as though it were anew great is the horror among people whose pretensions to a knowledge of what it is all about always has given me to presume that they were at least familiar with the facts of life. Any one who has known Mr. Farley at all during his rising years as a politician surely must have been very dense or very innocent to come through the acquaintance with any illusions in regard to his political principles. He always has been a frank and outright politician and even persons who lacked personal acquaintance with him could have

learned quite clearly what sort of politician he was by observing his political actions. His great charm consists to a large degree in the fact that he always has left the nobility business and the altruism and right-mindedness to his candidates and to his opponents in the work of rounding up the delegates and giving out the jobs. nun What a Man Farley MR. FARLEY revealed himself unblushingly for the sort of politician he was and is when he was chairman of the New York prizefight commission and the state Democratic committee simultaneously. As chairman of the prizefight commission he warped, rescinded or ignored the rules which he had laid down himself whenever it pleased him to do so as a favor to a friend. Some of these favors were very valuable to the friends of Mr. Farley, a fact which he never was hypocrite enough to deny. On the contrary, he honestly laid it on the line. What w'as a friend for, he demanded one day, if a friend couldn't call on him for a favor and get, it? We were discussing in particular the current reinstatement of Primo Camera so that he could fight for Mr. Farley's friend, James J. Johnston, in Brooklyn. Primo had been suspended “for life” by Mr. Farley's own commission for his involvement in a fake in California, but the writ remained in force only until Mr. Johnston needed a show’ and found himself in a position to use Primo. Nothing mattered to Mr. Farley in this case except that a iriend of his stood to make a nice touch for himself, as the phrase goes, and he said so in a few' frank words. Nor did he mind being quoted to this effect, although he did seem to put himself in the position of betraying his solemn public trust as chairman of the prizefight commission. Still, his powers, as established by law, w’ere autocratic and discretionary and if this was an act of flagrant spoilsmanship he had the great Andrew Jackson for his model. He still has Andrew Jackson for his model. Mr. Farley, as a national spoilsman today, wdll deem it no reproach but a beautiful tribute to bo denounced as a worthy pupil of the old master. n n n He's Too Pure for It ' IT is rather puzzling to read, among the comments on Mr. Farley’s way of doing political business, a wistful half-belief that President Roosevelt is an innocent party to his political manager’s operations. This comes of a beautiful, determined, dogged wish to regard Mr. Roosevelt as a political savior who must have politics behind him in order to exist and work his wonders but is too pure and fine to participate himself or to condone such business, should it ever come to his ear. It is a lovely, little boy sort of illusion and pardonable in the common citizen but amazing in people w’ho have access to the facts. Mr. Roosevelt sees Mr. Farley often and, better than any other President since Theodore Roosevelt, he knows what goes on in Washington, because he knows more people and in greater variety. Mr. Roosevelt could not be the man he is and remain ignorant of the sort of politician Mr. Farley is or in any doubt as to what he is doing. For the sake of public appearance Mr. Farley yet may be induced to take the rap and withdraw’ for the good name of the administration. But, if so, on the day he goes out, there will be a special squeeze in the parting handshake which will telegraph confidentially to the departing spoilsman, the message. VO. K„ pal; we understand each other.” Mr. Farley has been establishing a national Tammany but I have never seen him going around Washington wdth his finger to his lips, whispering, “Sh-h; don’t tell the boss.” (Copyright. 1934. bv Unitea Feature Syndicate.

Your Health BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

INFECTION of the sinuses in children is much more common than you might think. Many a case which you may believe to be merely a bad cold is such an infection. Some coughs and colds that are not explainable for other reasons are due to chronic infection of a sinus. This condition is dangerous to the health-of the body generally, because the germs are picked up and circulated to other parts of the body. Cases of heart disease, rheumatism, inflammation of the kidneys and other organs also may result from an infection of the sinus. Constant slight fever and irritation from the infection may interfere with appetite and make the child lackadaisical, so that it refuses to play or get the proper amount of exercise and rest, 0 0 0 FOR these reasons any persistent infection in the nose and throat should have accurate diagnosis and then competent treatment. Accuracy of diagnosis may be had by means of an X-ray picture which will show a cloudiness and blackness of the sinuses, indicating the need for special care. It is possible for the doctor to look into the nose and actually see the infected material coming out of the openings of the sinuses into the nose. Whenever there is infection, the first step is to let it out. It is hard to get the infected material out of the sinuses, but suction devices have been developed which will achieve the result without serious pain. Solutions of various and, ugs may be used to shrink the membrances of the nose and in that way allow the fluid to flow more easily out of the sinuses. 000 ''r'HERE are a few exceedingly helpful things which the mother can do at home. There are syringes which help to draw out the secretions. There is even a simple device which can be attached to a water faucet and create air suction by flowing of the water. After the infection has been drawn out, a bland oil is applied in the nose to keep the tissues quiescent until the next treatment. In severe cases, the child should always be kept in bed. It should be given an adequiate diet, containing plenty of fresh vegetables and other foods supplying the important vitamins. In the most severe cases of sinus infection, vaccines are sometimes injected to build up resistance.
