MONDAY, APRIL 20, 1930. BROWN COUNTY OOFT haze hangs ever the rugged and picturesque hills of Brown County. The spring pilgrimage to one of the most beautiful spots in the Middle West has begun. In a week or two, thousands will be thronging to Brown County State Park to see the blossoming of the dogwood and redbud. Always, from the art standpoint, the greatest emphasis has been placed on the autumn beauty of Brown County. It seems to us that this Hoosier hill country never Is more inviting, more splashed with vivid color, than in the spring. In winter, it has a simple, rural fascination that most of the summer visitors never see. The transition of the seasons that may be seen today accentuates the appeal of the steep hills, the winding roads, the wooded valleys and foliage. Adolph Robert Shulz, one of the earliest artists of the Brown County group, describes the lure of the region for artists as: “The Hoosier hills, the Hoosier people, the Hoosier spirit, the beautiful opalescent atmosphere where the artists can live their normal lives and pursue their life work, each in his own individual way.” it tt tt 'T'HEY live among the people of the soil. The •*- rugged folk of the Hoosier hills are their friends and neighbors. Probably because they are close to the soil themselves, the artists of the Brown County colony have seen their fame spread year after year. Artists who have lived and painted there have added immeasurably to the Indiana art tradition. Many built their homes in and around Nashville. They speak fondly of Bill and Mandy Pittman and the hospitality of the cheerful hotel they operated in the early days. The place was convenient and it drew the painters there rather than to other isolated parts of the vast hill region. The same hospitality marks Brown County today; the same simplicity of the people, the same feeling that here is the spirit of Indiana and of America. tt tt u THE trek of visitors has steadily increased. Interest in the art colony has grown. The result is a permanent exhibition of painting, sponsored by the Brown County Art Galleries Association and open to the public. Eventually, this should mean a permanent collection of some of the best Hoosier art—a tribute to the Brown County colony and its creation of something significant in American art. It Is spring today in Brown County. Thousands will go there the next few weeks because it is near Indianapolis and accessible. But the natural beauty of Brown County is the beauty of the whole great hill country of southern Indiana. There are redbud and dogwood, timber and shrubbery, in all that vast area. Indiana has only begun to develop this great playground.

LOYALTY LOUIS M'HENRY HOWE was not “loyal and neutral in a moment.” He was loyal completely. Officially, Col. Howe was President Roosevelt's No. 1 secretary. Actually he was one of his most devoted personal friends and wisest counselors. A newspaper correspondent in Albany back in 1910, Howe met and became attached to the young assemblyman. He liked young Mr. Roosevelt’s views and, with an almost uncanny prescience, decided he was a man of destiny. Through the years Howe never ceased to believe in his friend. And until illness took him away, he stayed at his friend's side. Together they were in Washington during the war. Together, they went through the disastrous 1920 campaign. And during the dark days of his friend's illness Howe sat at the bedside day and night, helping, encouraging, willing the sick man to win back his health. In the 1932 campaign Howe was one of the master strategists. When Roosevelt took office, he occupied a little room in the White House as a sort of political mentor, an “alter ego” to the President. Ten years older than the President, Col. Howe seemed in many ways 10 years wiser in the arts of politics. At least in the last year, while this secre-tary-friend-adviser lay sick in bed, it has seemed that the President’s political acumen has been lower than through the years when Louis Howe was at his elbow. Howe was born in Indianapolis. Certainly the President had need of some of the fine Howe strategy through those months when Messrs. Ickes and Hopkins gave a public exhibition of the Administration's inner d'seord, and again in the Gen. Hagood affair. Incidentally, the last 12 months, while Col. Howe languished abed and was not available for constant counsel, have seen the origination of one obviously political tax bill revolutionizing the corporate tax structure, and another almost as obviously political, to reform a reform which hasn't yet been given a chance to work. One can only speculate, of course, but it might have been otherwise had the more subtle Col. Howe been at his post. President Roosevelt has other friends, devoted, unselfish and wise. He may never have one who can take Louis Howe's place. No number of “yes’” men can fill the shoes of one who knew how and when to say “no.” OVERPLAYING HIS HAND HUGO L. BLACK is a good prosecutor. His work as chairman of the Senate Lobby Committee has been extremely effective In bringing to light pertinent information on the activities of lobbyists. His committee’s disclosure of how power companies spent millions— ($3,106,4:85 already accounted for and another $2,000,000 being checked? in an attempt to defeat a single piece of legislation, the Wheeler-Rayburn holding company law, has given to rank and file voters a valuable insight into legislative processes. So also has the revelation that utility representatives and employes of telegraph companies connived to comjpt the voters’ right of petition by sending fake telegrams to congressmen, taking signatures wholesale from telephone directories. likewise the disclosure that the same small group

of wealthy men have been paying the bills of virtually all the pseudo-patriotic organizations that have been created to propagandize against New Deal legislation—that the Liberty League, the Farmers Independence Council, the Crusaders and the Southern Committee to Uphold the Constitution are Just pseudonyms for the embittered du Pont-Raskob crowd. 1 We who live under and try to make our democratic system operate have a right to know these things. The knowledge supplied by the Lobby Committee should enable us to vote more intelligently. * • m T)ROSECUTORS by nature are zealous. Senator -*■ Black has not lacked in zeal, but in fact suffered an overdose when he made the mistake of issuing blanket subpenas for all of the telegraphic correspondence, private and otherwise, of a long list of individuals, law firms and corporations. If he had seasoned his zeal with a little diplomacy, a little better judgment, and had been less impatient with "due process,” his committee might have escaped the public resentment and court censure which followed. Moreover a prosecutor, in the business of questioning the motives of others, should, like Caesar’s wife, avoid even the appearance of impropriety. And this Senator Black did not do when he undertook to employ a former law partner to represent the committee in court at a SIO,OOO fee. It was an impolitic act, and it gave to enemies of the Lobby Committee an opportunity to raise the arguments which defeated the SIO,OOO appropriation in the House. Senator Black tripped himself. YOUNGER GENERATION A 15-year-old girl named Rose Mary Wurzelbacher saved the lives of no one knows how many fellow-orphans when she sounded the fire alarm in a Cincinnati orphanage and then carried 10 children from the nursery to safety. She was praised by the fire chief. The heroism of Nellie Grainger, 23-year-old hostess in the ill-fated TWA’s Sun Racer, has been rewarded by promotion to the air line’s crack transcontinental Sky Chief. Certificates of valor have been issued by Director Fechner to 11 CCC workers, one posthumously. Henry Bradfield rescued a worker from a burning barracks. Edward Males*., -ved a 6-year-old girl from drowning in an ice-laden creek. Stanley Stockins, with both ankles broken, administered first aid to colleagues in a truck wreck until he fainted. Joseph Flanagan and Harold Watson rescued a young woman from New York Harbor’s icy water last January. John V. Hanson swam through a flood to rescue a marooned New Yorker, arriving ashore cut and bleeding. Ralph W. Faulkner dived 20 feet from a trestle into a rock-filled creek to rescue a companion. James Galtieri lowered himself over a cliff at night and rescued a fellow trapped on a rock 160 feet below. Vernon C. Dodson saved a comrade’s life by sucking poison from a rattlesnake bite. William Smith suffered burns while fighting fire in a generator house. John Crowell lost his life trying to remove a high-powered wire from a sidewalk in his home town of Wyoming, N. Y. Thus do young people valorously meet the emergencies that confront them. Their stories answer the current libel that they are a soft and selfish generation.

“HONOR HOOSIER HIGHWAYS” nPHE winning safety slogan by J. E. Jordan, South Bend salesman, “Honor HoOvSier Highways,” should be a definite aid in the Indiana campaign for traffic safety. , Selected from 22,000 slogans submitted in the contest conducted by the Governor's Committee on Public Safety, “Honor Hoosier Highways” seems to us to— Catch the attention and quickly register an idea. Have a distinctive appeal to Hoosiers that a more general safety slogan would not. Make us conscious that we have a fine highway system; ipake us feel humiliated at the death toll we permit on it; cause us to respect the rights of others on our roads and streets. The spirit of the slogan should help promote safety. A WOMAN’S VIEWPOINT By Mrs. Walter Ferguson A T the invitation of a friend who works there I visited our state capitol not long ago./ My friend is a woman of 35, unmarried and with a father and mother to support. Like a good many others nowadays she lives in constant dread of losing her job, and knowing the instability of political favors no one will argue that such a fear is unjustified. But after closer view of what she does I ft?l less fearful for her. She has an important point in her favor. She is a hard worker, About her office niche seethe crowds of men and women who are concerned only with political prestige. The dawdling, the incompetence, the downright ignorance of many who draw pay from the state is a dreadful thing to i',ee. It is enough to make any honest taxpayer writhe. For he plows his way through throngs that clutter up offices and corridors, some hangers-on and others who render a minimum of service for a maximum of pay. Yet, even in state capitols there are the few who really work. If we could not count on them to possess such knowledge as is necessary to hold departments together, the whole structure of statecraft would fall to pieces with each outgoing administration. The people’s business would be in even worse case than it now is. It is this handful of workers who often stick through many gubernatorial regimes. Even demagogues and clever politicians realize the need for a certain amount of efficiency so that the dangerously loose construction of our houses of state will stand. A large proportion of these hard workers, I find, are women. They have no particular political ambitions, they want only to make an honest living. Obscure amid the blatant crowds they often go unheard and unnoticed, while our attention is held -toy the raucous voices and empty gestures of the politicians. But let us never forget that these humble workers are the only true “servants of the people.” They deserve more of our gratitude than they get. HEARD IN CONGRESS TJEP. ZIONCHECK (D„ Wash.): Mr. Speaker, the reason I am not going to try to explain to the gentleman from Texas (Rep. Blanton) what I have been telling the House is because I have long ago learned not to describe the beauty of a morning sunrise to a cat. a a a 1$ EP. BOYLAN (D:, N.

Our Town By ANTON SCHERRER

SATURATION Point: Kurt Vonnegut says he’s going to scream the next time Lawrence Tibbett sings “Giory Road.” As it is, he bites his fingernails every time he hears the song. * tt * We got around to the Czechoslovakian art show at the Herron the other night, but we didn’t get any further than meeting Jaroslav Smetanka, the Czechoslovak Consul General, who came down here to start things going. He was mighty impressive even if he did startle us with his oldfashioned pronunciation of the words “Prague” and “ Karlsbad” without which you can’t very well keep a Czeckonversation going. Mr. Smetanka pronounced these words as if he had never heard of the Versailles Treaty. And it sounded a bit queer coming from a diplomat after all that President Masaryk and Premier Benes had done to get us to substitute the words “Praha” and “Karl Vary” in our conversations. it u Tl/fR. SMETANKA didn’t slip up on anything else, however, To hear him tell it. Czechoslovakia is here to stay despite anything anybody else may think. Indeed, there isn’t a thing the matter with his country except, possibly, that she hasn’t got enough good roads yet. That’s the next think they're going to tackle. After that, Mr. Smetanka is going to see what can be done about driving on the left side of the road. It’s obsolete, he says Mr. Smetanka constantly kept referring to the bad roads as a heritage left by Austria. Shows what a diplomat can do with euphemisms. a u tt *V/fR. SMETANKA also straightened out a lot of vague things about the private life of old (86) “Father” Thomas Garrigue Masaryk who really is responsible for Czech and Slovak nationalism. / Sure, it’s true; Mr. Masaryk married an American girl. Her name was Charlotte Garrigue, and it accounts for Mr. Masaryk’s middle name It’s a custom they have over there Charlotte was a student in Leipzig when Mr. Masarky blew in on the scene He followed her to her Brooklyn (N. Y.) home, married her and took her back to Vienna. That wzts all of 50 years ago. It turned out all right. Mr. Masaryk likes a lot of other American things, too, among them Willa Cather’s books. She is his favorite author, barring none. It’s funny what you can pick up about international affairs at one of Peat’s art shows. tt T>LUE NOTE: The more we see of modem books and art the more we are inclined to the belief that audacity is the mark of genius and the special talent of the unfit. tt tt tt Cultural Note: Admission to the Herron Art Institute is free on Sunday afternoons, but you ought to go anyway.

TODAY’S SCIENCE BY DAVID DIETZ SIXTY investigations in the field of welding are now under way in university laboratories of the nation under the guidance of the Welding Research Committee of the Engineering Foundation of, New York. Additional researches are being started m industrial and government laboratories and plans are being made by the committee to expand its organization and program. The program will effect an enormous number of industrial activities, including the construction of streamline trains, airplanes, gigantic electric generators, steel buildings and naval armament, according to Prof. C. A. Adams of Harvard University, committee chairman. The activities of the committee are being sponsored jointly by the American Welding Society and the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. “Today welding is the most important and most widely used method in industry, and in nearly all of its applications notable savings are effected by superior quality of product,” Prof. Adams said. “However, the welding problem is so complicated and the temptation to effect economies is so great that the welding of structures has sometimes been undertaken without a thorough knowledge of the problems involved. A subcommittee, headed by Col. C. F. Janks, commanding officer of the Watertown (Mass.) Arsenal, has been formed to co-ordinate industrial welding research throughout the country. William Sparagen of New York, secretary of the committee, estimates that not more than 25 per cent of the possibilities of welding have been fully explored. OTHER OPINION On Onr World Trade <T. A. Bisson, in March issue of Foreign Policy Reports.) The international economic position occupied by the United States affords slight justification for raising new barriers against imports. Although a creditor nation, with large unpaid debts outstanding, this country still sells more goods than it buys. In 1934 the excess of American over imports amounted to nearly a half billion dollars.

NOTES LACK OF “FODDER” AMONG REPUBLICANS By Fodder-less Cap Coffin used to have a sign which hung above his desk, when he had a desk, which read: “To the ox that pulls the cart goes the fodder.” We wonder what has become of the sign? And also what has become of the fodder”? Cap Coffin may still have the sign, but the Republicans of Marion county certainly haven’t had any “fodder” since Cap has held the Republican reins, for the Democrats have every job in the county. If Republicans want public jobs again, then they had better find some way to lose Mr. Coffin. It can be done in this primary. it tt tt CHEMICAL DISCOVERIES SEEN DEPRESSION ANTIDOTE By J. W. i*. The importance of chemistry in the current war on unemployment becomes daily more evident. Its contribution in the form of new products, which in turn mean new jobs, can not be overestimated. Take, for instance, the latest development—a synthetic fiber, onethird thinner than the finest natural silk. A ball of this gossamer textile weighing only one pound, would, if unrolled, stretch across

Watch Your Health

EDITOR'S NOTE —This is the first of a series of daily columns by Dr. Fishbein, covering every phase of the most important subject in every home, the care and feeding of children during the first two years of their lives. IN previous generations, the woman who was about to bear a child kept the matter a secret from even her husband until well along in the course of the event. As the time approached when the child was to be born, she would notify her doctor. In many instances, however, the doctor was not notified until the moment of childbirth. Then, in the home, with the aid of a neighbor or of a relative, the child would be brought into the community. Advances of scientific medicine have greatly changed our points of view in relation to what is proper in childbirth. Nowadays, the intelligent woman will consult her doctor long before she is ready to have a child. He finds out whether her health will permit her to have a child without seriously injuring herself and without danger to the prospective baby. a a a THE intelligent woman also consults her doctor just as soon as she realizes that she is going to have a baby. He examines her to make certain of the diagnosis. He confirms his examination by various tests made in the laboratory as well as by physical examination of the patient herself. The doctor will do many things to regulate the expectant mother’s habits and hygiene, according to her condition. He will control her diet, her exercise, her rest, her work, and every other factor of her existence, in relation to the physical changes which she will under-

The manufacture of rayon gave employment to 60,000 people who, in one year, received $60,000,000 in wages. In addition, almost $60,000,000 was spent on raw and other materials for the textile. One might name many more products developed in the last 10 years that produced similar results. Here is a promising advance in the war against unemployment.

Plans of the Federal government to reduce the personnel of its CCC camps have drawn fire, not only from Congress but from the nation. Here, it appears, is one experiment of the New Deal that has met common acceptance, or as nearly universal approval as any Federal agency may ever command. Nothing else has taught the nation the necessity of conservation as has the CCC. Moreover, the toll of erosion and floods in the last five years has emphasized the vital need of a permanent conservation

Such care previous to childbirth, known as prenatal care, is of utmost importance in lowering the amount of sickness and death associated with this condition and also with bringing healthy children into the world. It serves to relieve the prospective mother of much anxiety ar.d helps to keep the well woman well. a a a THE doctor finds complications the moment they develop, and prevents their becoming worse. He studies the condition of the coming child and regulates the life of the mother so as to make the child at the time of its birth as capable as possible of undergoing the vicissitudes of the first year of life. The first year of life, like the last, is a most dangerous one. Regardless of the vast expenditures in educating women concerning the importance of prenatal care, there are still tremendous numbers who do not realize its necessity and fail to understand what proper prenatal care includes. These people do not recognize the danger of persistent vomiting, bleeding, nausea, and even difficulty with' their vision, although every one of these symptoms is a warning that great danger is near. Approximately 20,000 women lose their lives in the United States every year as the direct or indirect result of childbirth. Many of these deaths are preventable. Much of the blame attaches to the women themselves. Because of ignorance and negligence, thousands of them fail to take advantage of what modem medicine can do to prevent complications and insure the birth of & healthy child.

Myers I am sure that the executions that have taken place have caused innocent people no little grief. I for one have lost hours of sleep. And I wish something could be done to put an end to this wickedness in high places. “Thou Shalt Not Kill” rang out the sixth commandment from the Almighty to Moses. God’s law is not a failure. If the rest of the commandments can hold, so can the sixth. Some say executions are for the benefit of society. Many a man’s soul has been lost forever just to give a little thrill of revenge to a few people in power. Let us name Devil's Island “New Hope.” Let us put bad men away from society. Let us be merciful and give God and man a chance to reason together and watch crime reduce. Vengeance belongs to God. I am surprised to learn that some church folks are in favor of capital punishment. If you break one commandment you are guilty of all. ana CONTRIBUTOR PAGES MR. WAYNE EMMELMAN By A. Watcher What has become of Cap Coffin's current Republican county “chairman,” Mr. Wayne G. Emmelman? . . . Has he gone the way of Mr. Coffin’s other hand-picked chairmen? We certainly haven’t seen or heard anything from the said Mr. Emmelman in a long, long time. But maybe Mr. Coffin just prefers to have Mr. Paul Wetter handle his affairs with the precinct boys, instead of the genial Wayne. Then again maybe Cap wants Paul to be the next “chairman.” DAILY THOUGHT But as He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversations.—Peter 1:15.

Vagabond from Indiana ERNIE PYLE

EDITOR'S NOTE —Thi rnrlnf reporter for The Time* foes where he pleases, when hr pleases, in search of odd stories about this and that. CUERNAVACA. Mexico. April 20. —I guess you'd be jealous if you could see where I am now. Boy, oh boy, oh boy! My room is like a penthouse. It's all windows on three sides, and the floor is big red tiles, and the chairs are wicker, made by Indians. I leave the door open all the time. And when I step out the door. I step right outdoors on to a tiled terrace. It’s about 15 feet wide, and has a grilled railing around it, and the roof goes out halfway over the terrace. There is a deck chair out there, and there isn’t a soul around. I write a little while, and then go out and sit in the deck chair and look at the housetops and the mountains, and then I come back and write some more. It is hot. probably 90. It Is nearly sunset, and that makes my terrace shady, and it also makes the long shadows out over town look ns though a painter had put them there—sharp dark shadows all over the white walls of Cuernavaca. tt tt tt TT'ROM my porch I can look north toward Mexico City, and east toward Tepoztlan, the primitive community that Stuart Chase took for his “case village” of Mexico. I can’t see Tepoztlan from here, but I can see the big peak of solid brown rock this side of the mountain ranee, and Tepoztlan is right between the peak and the range. Nobody could describe the rear side of this place I'm in. The front is three stories high, but the back is about six stories. And the whole descent is a conglomeration of balconies. set-backs, porches, grill railings and little tiled roofs, clear down to the ground, with no evenness about it at all. And down below is the garden of gardens. There is a pool in the middle, and then the wildest profusion of flowers and tropical trees and stone walls and high iron fences you ever saw. And then as you raise your eyes, there is Cuernavaca, for about a mile. It, too, is uneven. For it is built at the bottom of a cup, with mountains absolutely encircling it, and the bottom of the cup isn’t level, but rises and falls all over the place. tt n tt AND it isn’t all roof tops I seo either. It is half trees—mango and banana and palm, and some that bloom red all over like flowers, and dozen others that I don't know. The roof, and the parts of the buildings you can see, are red and dark brown and faint blue and green and orange, and there are a lot of white walls. Over a couple of blocks to the north, standing up above the other buildings is an old, old church Out beyond the church are more roof tops and trees, and when the land begins to rise steadily, and you see just a few houses and some clear up to the green forested ridge, up to 5000 feet above Cuernavaca—and Cuernavaca itself is 5000 feet high. There is no sound at all, except the constant crowing of roosters all over the city. Roosters crow louder and ofteijer in Mexico than any place I have ever visited. And at dusk the dogs will start. Millions of mongrel dogs bark all night all over Mexico. Cuernavaca is Mexico City’s week-ending place. The rich people come here to relax from the altitude. Dwight Morrow owned a home here, and put Cuernavaca on the map for Americans. You might think it would be spoiled by now. It does have nice hotels, but the “spoiling” hasn't gone much further than that. FANTASIA’S HOUR BY DANIEL FRANCIS CLANCl r Tonight, fancies of yore outside my door Dance and prance as ne'er before.
