. SATURDAY, MAY 16, 1936. the tempo increases P USSIA announces she will have a navy second to none in the Pacific (Japan, beware!) and a navy second to none in the Baltic (Germany, take h' ed!). Japan lands 7600 additional troops in North China. Germany gears up her diplomacy to safeguard Rhine frontiers and races against time to build a war machine that can press eastward. The League of Nations, confronted with the fait accompli of a rampant new' Roman empire in possession by force of another member nation's territory, ponders the further application of sanctions. Austria s “Iron Man" Starhemberg publicly exudes enthusiasm for Mussolini’s Addis Ababa victory and is promptly muscled out of his job by a chancellor who was supposed to be a figurehead, but who decided, nevertheless, that his government should not risk a break wuth League adherents. But Mussolini’s Austrian admirer declares his heimwehr (private army) will not be dissolved by edict. Will Fascism, routed af the polls in Spain and France, shoulder arms on the Danube? Repercussions vibrate in the Western Hemisphere. France’s prospective new Socialist premier hints a desire to settle the long-neglected French-American war d< bts. Britain’s Tory premier suggests a reconstituted League of Nations in which the United States can participate, and to which Japan and Germany can return. Guatemala serves notice she will quit the Geneva organization. Other LatinAmerican republics are reported ready to join the walkout. This latter development may have the effect of turning the collective peace efforts of this hemisphere more and more toward the conference at Buenos Aires, and the proposed formation of anew League of the Americas to maintain peace within om two continents and mutually guarantee against aggression from without. In that conference the United States will have a vital stake and a vital responsibility. Much as we might like to do so, we can’t shut ourselves off from the more troubled parts of the globe. It s a small world—and growing smaller. NATURAL GAS nnHE need for a thorough study and public discussion of the feasibility of bringing natural gas into Indianapolis is emphasized by the statement of H. C. Atkins, president of E. C. Atkins & Cos., before the North Side Federation of Clubs. Mr. Atkins is quoted as saying that outside industries will not locate in, Indianapolis and that some already here may move unless natural gas ks , provided for th'ctn. He said his company had beett' offered a 35-acre site at Charleston, W. Va., if ft would move there, and that another site had been offered at Newcastle with adequate fuel supplies. “A POOR JOB” QUESTS of the First Lady at a White House luncheon today are not the usual elect of society. but 81 girl prisoners from a District of Columbia reformatory. Mrs. Roosevelt explains her precedent-breaking luncheon party in this way: "We put people in institutions in a compartment by themselves. We don’t realize that this is all part of the business of living and that getting into such institutions is a result of the poor job we’ve made of organizing civjjizaticn.” One purple day in the drab years of these erring youngsters may not change their lives. But it will dramatize the eternal truth of what Mr. Roosevelt says. Hers is a gracious and generous gesture that may help make the ‘‘poor job" America has made of the conservation of its youth into a better job. FOR A RAINY DAY 'ityl'OST state and local governments emerged from the depression financially crippled and facing increased tax loads to get on an even keel. The reason is that, unlike most private enterprises, many of them failed s o provide for the accumulation during prosperity of reserves upon which to draw for running expenses during depressions. No state or local government has provided an adequate “rainy day" reserve, although the use of tax revenues to retire bonds accomplishes the same purpose to some extent. A plan for the creation of reserve funds to cushion state and local governments against the effects of reduced tax yields in lean years was unanimously recommended to the state Legislature in 1932 by the New York State Commission for the Revision ot Tax Laws, but no legislative action has been taken on the recommendation. The commission estimated that if personal income taxes at the rates it recommended had been in force in New York state throughout the period 19201931, the annual rever • f m!d have fluctuated from a low point of $51,000 j)C in 1922 to a high of $179.000.000 in 1929 and to another low of $51,000,000 in 1931. These fluctuations in revenue accompanying the business cycle, the commission contended, were “great enough seriously to embarrass both the state and the localities in their attempts to match their expenditures with their income.” tt a tt ' I 'HE plan advanced by the commission contemplated the creation for each of the taxes whose yield was "excessively variable"—the personal income tax, the corporate franchise tax, death taxes, and the stock transfer tax—of a reserve fund into which a certain amount of the proceeds of each tax would be poured in years of high yield and from which money would be withdrawn to supplement the current yield when collections declined. Reserve funds, under the commission’s plan, would be segregated into a reserve account and a "suspense" account. In prosperous years a predetermined share of tax revenues would be utilized for current state expenditures, another predetermined part would go into the reserve account, and the balance would go into the suspense account. In lean years all current tax revenue would be used to cover expenditures, and in addition the suspense account would liquidate part of its assets, the resulting cash b|ing made available for current expenditures. At the same time, the reserve account would liquidate part of its

assets, turning the money over to the suspense account. The reserve account would invest its funds in state bonds, while the assets of the suspense account would be kept in more liquid form, so that there would be no necessity in lean years for the reserve account to dump its long-term securities on the market in a hurry. Pointing out that “the usual thing to expect is that prices of the highest-grade bonds will rise during depression and fall during prosperity," the commission maintained that the reserve account would seldom lose money on its bond sales. * a a QOME students of public finance believe the commission's tax-reserve plan to be unworkable. The problem of surplus financing, they say, is bedeviled by both legal and administrative difficulties. In the first place, governmental units in most states are allowed to tax only for specific purposes. Moreover, it is believed that taxpayers, seeing a part ol their taxes being put aside for use in some distant future, would create pressure for tax reductions that would be hard for legislators to resist. Even if a reserve could be built up, some experts maintain, legislators would raid the fund by changing the law when the reserve mounted to a tempting height. Opponents of the reserve plan point to similar experiences with various other types of surpluses in recent years. Hard pressed for revenue to meet current expenses and rigidly restricted by tax limitations, many cities in Ohio and other states looted their sinking funds during the depression. The least complicated method of saving up in rich years for the vicissitudes of poor ones, many believe, is to operate on a pay-as-you-go basis, reserving borrowing power for depressions. States and cities have been hit so hard financially in recent years that they should make use of the lesson to build a business-like bulwark against the possibility of recurring depressions. LIFE-SAVING—I 936 '"■"''HERE is such a thing as shouting so loudly about mistakes that people become jittery and the mistakes multiply: or of deploring a situation so continuously that the situation only seems to grow worse. It is reassuring then, in the midst of the talk about the shocking traffic death toll, to be able to say a good word about safer driving. At least 50 persons in Indiana and at least 700 in the United States who ordinarily would have been in their graves are living today because of a reduction in automobile accidents so far this year. The National Safety Council makes the encouraging prediction that if the present trend toward safer driving continues, some 3300 lives will have been spared by the end of 1936. The slaughter on the highways still is appallingly large, yet these figures show the public can get down to sane, intelligent driving if it tries. A start iv.s been made in this life-saving business. Let’s keep at it.

BUYING BABY BONDS T>ABY BONDS are being bought by banks and trust companies as well as individuals. The Treasury reports that such institutions have purchased about 6 per cent of the savings bonds sold thus far, most of them taking the legal limit of SIO,OOO worth. In 10 months the Treasury sold 1,022,759 bonds, ranging in denomination from $25 to SIOOO, and totaling in maturity value $271,842,525. FANTASTIC of the fantastic phases of life under the New Deal repeatedly shows up in this form: The executive board of the (any) Chamber of Commerce meets. Passes resolutions condemning high Federal expenditures. Appoints subcommitee to go to Washington and obtain as large a chunk of Federal money as possible. Here is a recent variation: New York City is to have, a world’s fair in 1939. Biggest city. Biggest fair! Fine idea! Raise $30,000,000! Grover Whalen named president. How to get the money? Collect $20,000.CC0 from private subscribers and get the other 10 from Uncle Sam. Finance committee appointed. Named thereon top flight New Deal critics repi-e----senting bankers, insurance companies, public utilities, and so forth—long, eminent and impressive list of “They Hate Roosevelt.” But after all $10,000,000 is $10,000,000. A WOMAN’S VIEWPOINT By Mrs. Walter Ferguson npHE most puzzling aspect of the current scene is *- the failure of the modern woman to get and keep her man. Not that she doesn’t have plenty of help. Radios, movies, newspapers, even college professors offer assistance, yet she is a flop if you compare her with the girl of Jane Austen's day, who was even more shameless in her angling for a husband but seldom failed to land some kind of catch. Perhaps the intent ‘behind the deed holds the answer to our riddle. In the eighteenth century, the game of love meant but one thing to a womangetting a husband for keeps. Today it is played for a different purpose. The thrill of pursuit entices even more than the quarry at the end of the chase. One may draw a safe comparison between the modern hunter who doesn't particularly need his kill and the Stone Age man who had to track down his game or starve. Today's girl, one is often forced to believe, may be just a little too well educated in the technique of husband hunting: she carries so many accoutrements around with her that the game is scared off. She is rather like a billboard poster which, by promising so much more than it can give, creates wariness in a customer. It is true that women s wiles were never more perfect, yet men are as skittish as colts before the halter and as slippery as eels within the hand. Our feminine bait is losing its power; beauty, cleverness, smart attire have served out their time. With them must go more dependable qualities. For whatever may be said about marvelous moderns, men still seek the immemorial stabilities in their women—help, loyalty and disinterested love. In an age where two of these qualities at least are given them so generously by feminine co-workers in business, it seems strange and tragic that they should find them so seldom at home. HEARD IN CONGRESS D EP. GIFFORD (R„ Mass.), discussing House refusal to request submission to it of Gen. Johnson's secret report on WPA: I would compare it to the case where a young lady anonymously advertised for a male hiking companion for two weeks, and then they asked her if she would disclose the names of the 100 applicants. She said, “No; it has already made an awful row. Father was one of the applicants." (Laughter.) Yoik,are indeed afraid somebody pretty close to the Administration will be * w. - • ■ ... * \ . .. • .

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Our Town By ANTON SCHERRER

SALLY METZ, the prize girl in the state 4-H Club Round-Uf> at Purdue, was pronounced 97.6 perfect. Her mother was too indignant to be interviewed. tt tt tt YT’S nice to think that the 200year old Chardin-painted “Still Life,” recently purchased by the Herron Art people, will spend the rest of its days in Indianapolis. It is a rarely beautiful picture and the only thing like it m this world is a fruit cake, mellowed by time and treatment. At any rate, that’s what the little lady within our hearing said it was like. The comparison is fair enough even if it does dip into a collateral art for words. A Chardin-painted picture, come to think of it, is exactly like a fruit cake, especially the kind we used to keep for years wrapped in yellowing brandy soaked cloths. It has the same richness, the same body and exactly the same haunting fragrance. tt tt u A SURVEY of local living conditions last week confirms a suspicion that something is happening to Indianapolis gardens and especially to the flowers in them. For one thing, there was more evidence this year of shady walks and sun-flecked parterres, of grass and hedges, of pools and fountains and the trickle of water and it all had the effect of pushing the flowers into the background. Indeed, in more than one place there were signs of a deliberate attempt to make the garden independent of flowers—not necessarily free of flowers, you understand, but independent of them. It was bound to come. Gardeners around here are tired of fooling with a climate as fitful as ours and to get even have developed a type of garden that looks as well without flowers as it does with them. The fact of the matter is that the Indianapolis garden no longer exists solely for its flowers. Its flowers exist for it. It was the only way left to achieve a charm independent of the seasons. tt tt a r r'HIS column, unlike others, measures time and progress by what happens from one Mother’s Day to the next. Measured that way, it shows what the women, not the men, were up to last year. For instance: Last Sunday rocking chairs were in style again and, like as not, the rocking chair “tidy” is right around the corner. Black bean soup has superseded cream of mushroom, whether you like it or not. Baby carriages are now streamlined for good. Last Mother’s Day manufacturers were just making up their minds about it. A split skirt is now a culotte. It looks the same, though. The angle oi women’s hats this Mother’s Day was 45 degrees—a drop of 15 degrees in a year. We’ll probably have to wait until next Mother’s Day to see what happens, because goodness knows they can’t stay on at this rate. The holes in mother’s doughnuts last Sunday were smaller than ever before. And last Sunday mothers wore men’s suspenders. Up ’til now, they’ve depended on moral support.

TODAY’S SCIENCE By Science Service

Mich., May 15.—A day when farms will grow plants to order to meet the requirements of industry was predicted here today by L. F. Livingston, president of the American Society of Agricultural Enginers. Mr. Livingston spoke at the Second Dearborn Conference on Agriculture, Industry and Science, called by the Farm Chemurgic Council and the Chemical Foundation, “to advance the industrial use of American farm products through applied science.” N “Rapid development of the X-ray-technique and the mounting knowledge of genes and chromosomes foreshadow the time when the manufacturer will specify the physical or chemical property he desires in his raw material and the plant breeder will create a plant that has it," Mr. Livingston said. Research of recent years has shown that the heredity of a plant is controlled by the genes, minute structures found in the chromosomes of the cells of the plant. Recent experiments have shown that when a gene is altered or destroyed by treating the seed of the plant with X-rays the result is to alter the plant which grows from the seed. Plant breeders are showing new skill in many directions, Mr. Livingston indicated. DEFINITION BY HARRIETT SCOTT OI.INICK My life is a clear glass bowl Filed with still water.

Technically speaking, the county still is the unit of government. But time doth w'reak great change. A unit of government is the neighborhood. A neighborhood is a region w'here the people residing therein know' each other rather well. There used to be so few pople in a county that all that was ncessary was to say you were Mr. Whoozis from Marion County or Morgan County. Today the neighborhood is the precinct—that is, in most cities. In sparsely settled sections the county is still the only handlebar b.y which the government—Federal or state—can contact the people. Originally, the sheriff was the cop on the beat. Most of the time he was the only cop on the beat. When it got to be too much for one man he hired deputies. What originally was a sort of concentration of houses, a general store, a, postoffice, and a corner saloon, became Main-st, Spruce-st, Cedar and Walnut. This grew' to be the dominant point of the county. By easy stages there evolved what is known as the city police departments. The past conduct of both easily indicates the friction due to their co-jurisdiction and insane jealousy of one another. The police of every city are a law

Watch Your Health

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN IF there is one point more than any other that gives anew mother concern, it is the training of the child in proner habits of excretion. Most babies learn control during the first two years of life; others within six months. If a baby fails to learn by the end of the third year, or if a baby cnce properly trained relapses into infantile habits, he should have special medical study, and perhaps also psychological examination to find out just what is w'rcng. Bed w'etting is one of the habits of early childhood that is most difficult to control. While the baby is very young, the act of releasing fluid from the body is not controlled by a center in the brain, but is an automatic performance in which only the spinal cord takes part. Gradually the brain becomes involved, so that the child is able to learn control while he is awake. Later, this control can be extended to cover the hours when the baby is asleep. There are many causes for persistent bed wetting. They include nervousness, infections, poor nutrition, inflammations, and other physical defects. When a child that persistently wets the bed is brought to a doctor, the latter first makes a complete physical examination to determine whether the child is physically sound in all respects. Every one of the tissues may be concerned in developing conditions leading to bed wetting.

to themselves. Every town and hamlet in the state has its own rules for civilized social conduct. In this day of wide range operations and unceasing movement about the state it is evident that something is amiss. Maybe this year, maybe next, maybe in the next generation it will come. It is inevitable. There will be one police force in Indiana, The Indiana State Police. They will have offices in every county. There will be one head, one law, one offense. tt tt- tt FINDS CARTOON IS AMUSING By C. 1.. Fish, Rushviile ' It is amusing to one who reads the writings of the philosophers of the Near East, Indian, Far East and Roman civilization to sea cartoon like the one that appeared in the May 8 issue of The Indianapolis Times. Those philosophers constantly were arguing the crime question. The disciplinarian upheld the prevailing social, political, and economic order; thus, they contended that the nature of man is evil, and institutions are necessary in the process of socialization. The free thinker upheld the opposite school of thought. Four times, as history records it, the primitive instinct of man has overpowered the strait-jacketing of institutions and education. The governments favored a select few; thereby creating poverty and scholastic ignorance. When such a condition existed, the unfavored group had to resort to crime and other unsocial methods in order that it mignt be in a position to obey the paramount human urges.

SOMETIMES a child of 3 years may wet his clothes during the day because he is too interested in play and fails to go to the bathroom. Little is to be gained by punishing such a child. It is much better to instruct him intelligently and to praise him for keeping dry. In training her child, a mother should consider the following points: 1. Do not give him any water, milk or other fluid to drink after 5 p. m. See that the baby drinks water freely during the day. 2. If the child complains of thirst at bedtime, give him a piece of orange or apple. 3. Pick up the child at 10 o’clock every night. Wake him Ihroroughly and have him care for himself just as he does during the day. 4. Protect the bed well, but do not put on diapers at night after the baby has begun to go without them during the day. 5. Take the baby up just as soon as he awakes. Many children wet the bed a few minutes after waking in the morning. 6. In preparing dry suppers, omit milk for drinking or for use on cereals or puddings, and water or cocoa for drinking. Use milk when ! possible in cooking foods. Breads 1 and cereals of whole grain are : preferable. Sometimes it is necessary to take the baby up a second time during | the night. If so, the mother should : notice the time at which the baby I wets the bed and awaken him just ! before. Then the period between I the first awakening and the second may gradually be lengthened.

HARBORERS REAL * PUBLIC ENEMIES, IS CLAIM By R. R. Having rounded up the most notorious of the nation’s public enemies, J. Edgar Hoover now seeks the persons w r ho harbored and abetted these criminals. That includes doctors, lawyers, and police of various American cities who are suspected of having aided Karpis, Campbell, Mahan and ether dangerous racketeers. In Cleveland, for instance, certain local politicians with police connections are suspected by Hoover of having aided in the 1934 escape of the Karpis-Barker-Campbell gang. I only hope that Mr. Hoover is 100 per cent successful in catching up with these nefarious undercover operators. Were it not for their aid, the racketeers could never have gone as far as they did. These unscrupulous aids of the underworld are, in fact, the real public enemies. SECRETARY* ICKES* ON PROFER COURSE, WRITER THINKS By L. S. J. Secretary Ickes has renewed his appeal to Congress to change the name of his department from that of “Interior” to “Conservation.” The secretary, an ardent conservationist, argues that it is time to reverse the intimation of “exploitation” heretofore associated with his office. After all these years, it is doubtful if Congress will break tradition to change the title of the cabinet post, and that doesn’t seem to be important, so long as the department remains on the right track. Mr. Ickes is directing a vast personnel toward protection of American resources. If that duty is performed well, the Department of the Interior can lay claim to a great contribution. The name of the department doesn’t mean much—the vital thing is the "spirit of conservation” that prevails there.

Vagabond from Indiana ERNIE PYLE

EIHTOR'S NOTE—Thin rorJnr reporter for The Times goes where he piemen, when he pleanrn, in search of odd stories sbout this and that. T7TLLA JUAREZ. Mexico, Mr 7 * 16.—This girl in the blue tailored suit comes up to us in the hotel and asks, “Are you Americans?” So we say yes and she sits down and starts talking. And then her husband comes over, and it turns out he is an American rassler. They have been in Mexico about a month, under a Mexican manager, working the small towns out of Tampico, rassling two or three times a week. They are from Salt Lake City. The rassler's name is Dory Detton. Dory’s father was a rassler. and there are three sons, and they’re all rasslers. One is in Hawaii, and the oth r in Washington. D. C. His name’s Dean and he has eyes on the heavyweight championship. Dory went to the University of Utah, and made good grades, too, but three years ago he quit school to go into professional rassling. His first professional appearance w r as when he was watching his brother Dean rasslc. and the other guy had Dean's head all twisted up in the ropes. So Dory, who was just a spectator, forgot himself, jumped into the ling, and knocked this guy cold. Brother Dean thought it was awfully funny. a tt a DORY has had 320 matches in three years, and been beaten only a few 7 times, but he sound3 like the Monday morning traffic toll. His skull has been fractured, his right hip smashed, his left shoulder crushed and his back broken —or at least some vertebrae knocked out of piace, and it still bothers him. His wife has to work on him all the time. She used to be a beauty operator, so she nas strong arms, even though she is just a little thing, and pretty, too. After every rassle Dory's back is all out of joint, so she gives him an “adjustment,” and gets his vertebrae back in place. We got interested in Dory, and went to see him rassle. There were three bouts—American against Mexican in each one. Each bout was tw'o falls out of three. Dory and his pal came on. Dory’s a middleweight, but when he gets in the ring he looks like one whole end of the Chicago stockyards. The Mexican started right in to slaughter him. tt tt tt I’VE never seen such a rassle. This Mexican was a wild man. He hit and kicked in the most illegal places, and used his knee, and tried to gouge Dory’s eyes out, and twice when Dory had him down the Mexican broke loose by biting a hunk out of Dory’s leg. The referee tried to stop the Mexican, but the crowd wouldn't let him. That was a bad crowd. They wanted their man to win, and to hell with the details. When Detton had the Mexican down flat, and the referee started counting, the crowd would scream “No! No! No!” Detton won. He threw the Mexican twice. He simply picked him up and put him on his shoulders and jumped up ana down with him ’till he had all the wind knocked out nf him, and then laid him on the mat. Afterward, Dory and his wife came up to our room. He was plenty sore. He said if he were in the states, and anybody pulled such dirty stuff on him, he’d knock him out. tt a "TJUT I'm afraid of these crowds" D he says. “They've cut a couple of American wrestlers all to pieces in the last few months. “I figured the only thing to do was hold my temper, and watch that I fought clean, and just go in there and get it over with as quick as I could.” Having had no previous social contact with the groan and grimace boys, I had supposed that all rasslerS, like Davy Crockett, were half alligator and half horse. But these Dettons are nice people. Both Dory and his wife are young, about 23, I’d judge, and very quiet and serious. He figures that if he goes well in Mexico City he may clean up S3OOO or S4OOC in a few months, ar.d thafll build them a little house out in California. Then he can go into promoting.
