MONDAY, MAY 18, 1936. NOW “ON THE SPOT” IT7HEN Federal Agents recently cleaned up unfinished business with fugitive American kidnapers, people were pleased but not surprised. The captures of Karpis, Mahan, Campbell and Robinson had been confidently awaited. The significant thing is the change in public opinion from the gangster era of a few years ago. Public, opinion certainly was not then vigorously nnd jnfiitantly on the side of law enforcement. The crime problem, which reached brazen and tremendous proportions during that period, still is far from solution. Yet encouraging progress has been made. Citizens can thank themselves for much of this. They have backed the attark on crime in the last few years. This change of sentiment may be seen in the movies. The gangster pictures, with sentiment inevitably created for criminals, have been supplanted by films of the G-Men type. Newspapers, magazines, the radio and other agencies of information reflect this same change. Much of the false glamour has been stripped from criminals. Then* is more applause for the efforts of police. tt tt A S a powerful factor in law enforcement, public opinion paved the way for better legislation, for state police systems, for co-ordination in the war on crime. Indianapolis now is one of several Midwestern cities which are experimenting with interstate police radio. Through training schools for police officers in Indiana and other states the personnel standards are being raised. More cities are using the merit system of choosing officers. Gains have been made in centralizing law enforcement and crime prevention activities. tt tt tt , ripHUS today, partly as a result of the widespread public attention given the crime problem, the gangster and kidnaper no longer are in the spotlight. For several months, the focus has been on the reckless automobile driver, the drunken driver, the negligent driver. Last year's new high death toll from traffic accidents of 36,400 persons was a challenge to make the streets and highways safe. The traffic problem is being studied scientifically by safety institutes such as the one at Northwestern University and the one at Purdue University under direction of Frank M. Kreml. Problems of speed, highway and automobile construction, city traffic rules and signals, the “fixing” of traffic stickers, are getting attention. New drivers’ license and responsibility laws are being enacted. In the public eye, the dangerous and incompetent driver has replaced the kidnaper as an enemy. If people become sufficiently aroused the nationwide campaign for traffic safety will get results.

AMERICANISM DEFINED THERE has been so much talk of Americanism, and particularly by leaders of the American Legion, that the definition by Cyrus Leßoy Baldridge of the New York County American Legion is interesting. In his book “Americanism: What Is It?” (Farrar <fe Rinehart), he says: “The true American spirit—‘Americanism*—is expressed in a determined and magnificent human struggle to achieve Democracy, Justice t,nd Liberty. “The fundamental aim of this struggle is to maintain for all Americans the opportunity to enjoy the abundance of nature and to acquire such products of their co-operative labor as are essential to their life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. “Democracy means an equity of opportunity. “Justice means the equality of all before the law. “Neither Democracy nor Justice is possible without Liberty. Liberty means opportunity for selfexpression and self-development. It guarantees, among other freedoms, the freedom of religious worship, and—above all else—freedom of speech. Liberty demands freedom of speech because without freedom of speech there can be no search for the truth. This search is vital to ‘Americahism’.” MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP THE downward trend in the number of municipally owned power plants has been reversed. Operations of two New Deal agencies—PWA and TV A—have given definite support to municipal ownership of electric power utilities. Comprehensive data on the exact position of public as compared with private power enterprise in the last three years are not available. It is certain. however, that decline in the relative importance of municipally owned power plants, which began about 1923, has been checked during the Roosevelt Administration. Census figures show the number of municipally owned electric power establishments decreased from 2581 in 1922 to 219 P, in 1927 and to 1802 in 1932. A study made last year by the FERA showed, however, that in 1934 the number of municipally owned plants had increased to 1861. Since this figure did not include plants then under construction with PWA funds, the reversal of the previous trend would probably be even more marked at the present time. Municipally owned electric plants outnumber private piants by about 10 per cent, but the vast majority of the former are located in communities of less than 1000 population. The value of plant and equipment of municipally owned establishments in 1932 was only about $540,000,000, as compared to total private plant value of about $12,125,000,000. Gross Income of municipal plants was about $126,300,000 in 1932, as compared with total gross income for private plants of about $2,031,000,000 in the same year. a a a OINCE its establishment, PWA has made loans and grants totaling more than $67,000,000 to local governments in 43 states for 256 electric power projects. Eighty-eight allotments have been made for construction of new generating plants or distribution systems where none was publicly owned at the time the allotment was made. Allotments have been made also for additions to 117 existing plants, and for the construction of three transmission lines and 48 power plants for municipal or county Institutions. Sixty of the 256 projects have been completed and about 80 are under construction. la Indiana, PWA funds totaling $301,424 have

been allotted for 12 electric projects. Nine of the allotments—to Albion, Terre Haute, Columbia City, Crown Point, Goshen, Bluffton, Fort Wayne, Decatur and Rensselaer—are for additions to existing plants. Three allotments—two to Bloomington and one to Conncrsville—are for Institutional plants. Applications for PWA funds for construction of municipal electric power plants were received from a larger number of cities, but some of these were withdrawn because private utility companies reduced their rates. At hearings recently before a Senate subcommittee on the Norris (R„ Neb.) Mississippi Valley Authority bill, O. W. Kellogg, an official of the Public Service Corp., testified that private power companies had effected rate reductions saving customers $1,286,000,000 since 1926. Reductions amounting to about sllO 000,000 were made after establishment of the TVA, Mr. Kellogg said.

# u n OINCE the TVA, in disposing of its hydro-electric power, is compelled by statute to give priority to municipalities, co-operatives, and other non-profit agencies, cities in the Muscle Shoals area have been encouraged to apply for PWA funds to build city power distribution plants. About 80 communities in the Tennessee Valley have indicated a desire to enter into power contracts with the TVA. Sixteen cities are already taking its power and eight contracts have been signed with other cities in the area. Cincinnati officials conferred with TVA directors recently on the matter of obtaining TVA power for that city. FACING THE FACTS A N overwhelming majority of Americans are not. afraid of facts. This cheerful news is contained in the results of a poll just made public by the American Institute of Public Opinion. The Institute’s staff asked more than 100,000 representative Americans from Maine to California these two questions: 1. Should schools teach the facts about all forms of government, Including Communism, Fascism and so forth? The answer was: Yes, 62 per cent; no. 38 per cent. 2. Should college teachers be free to express their views on all subjects, including government and religion? The answer was: Yes, 59 per cent; no, 41 per cent. Apparently, therefore, three out of every five of us want our children to learn what is going on in the living world today, to face their age without either blinders or rose-colored glasses, to see things whether pleasant or unpleasant, that are going on about them. The questionnaire was not academic. In the schools of the very national capital it is now necessary for teachers to swear each month that they have not taught anything concerning Communism. Under the so-called Blanton “red rider” to the District of Columbia appropriation, teachers are intimidated into silence on the portentous fact of what is going on in Russia, a nation of more than 150 million people covering about one-sixth of the world’s land surface.. That sort of “head in the sand” compulsion reflects the hysterical “red hunt” that has been going on throughout the land, characterized by campus snooping and pamphleteering of those professional patrioteers who believe that there can be safety only in ignorance and darkness; that Americans are not strong enough to stand the realities. It is refreshing, therefore, to see this poll and to learn that apparently the big majority of Americans want none of that thing which in its suppressive tendencies is so much of a piece with fascism. . A NEW GAS Vw , BffllM'l V mi ’ef up, sir? Righto. What kind?” A “Well, let me try the Chateau Yquem 1926. I get better mileage with that high-test stuff than the Chianti you sold me last time.” Sounds a little screwy, but maybe it’s not so farfetched after all. A Commerce Department news release says: “In its search for gasoline substitutes, Italy is now looking to the wine crop, which was especially heavy last year, as another source for motor fuel, according to a report from Trade Commissioner Humes, Rome. “A census of individual wine holdings is being made with the view to ascertaining the amount which will be available for conversion into alcohol for use as motor fuel, the report states.”

A WOMAN’S VIEWPOINT By Mrs. Waller Ferguson TV/F ARRIAGE seems to diminish a woman’s fund of common sense. She either refuses to see anything good in her man or she shuts her eyes stubbornly to the bad. Selfish women are too hard on husbands; devoted women are too easy. Yet husbands are merely people. It is unlikely a perfect one has ever existed. Each has his virtues, each must admit to faults. When a wife faces the grim fact that she is married to a scoundrel, a man incapable of appreciating devotion, she is wasting the substance of her love if she continues to adore him or to believe he will develop some day into a fireside Darby. A good many women of this type, I find, do not believe in divorce. Something deep within them repudiates the thought. Sometimes they have children too, and for this reason wash to keep the home together. This is a sensible decision, especially if the children have reached adolescence. But all the law r s of good sense tell us the wife should divorce such a man from her love. It is hard because we are all prone to array our sweethearts in the garments of idealism woven out of our affection, and sometimes we never see the real person beneath those garments. To w r atch while your idol turns to clay is a dreadful experience, but you must make yourself look at the transformation; for occasionally when devotion does not reform, indifference will. Many an erring man has been brought to his senses late in the day by a wife who at last sees him for what he is and can stiffen up her backbone with the starch of independence. , Men talk against it, but most of them like spunk in their women. There’s only one thing to be done with a persistently inconsiderate or unfaithful man—abandon him. You may continue to keep his house, but don’t let him keep your heart. HEARD IN CONGRESS SENATOR REYNOLDS <D„ N. C.): The record charges him (a deportable alien) with stealing an airplane. Senator Coolidge (D., Mass.): Did he land in this country in an airplane? Senator Reynolds: He must have done so, according to Col. Mac Cormack (the immigration commissioner), because he was painted so lily white that he must have dropped out of the skies. I never thought of that before. Col. Mac Cormack painted him so lily white, perfumed like the lovely red, red rose in the springtime garden .... that I could not imagine the man slipping across the border. He must have flown over here and dropped down in a parachute from the skies. r

Our Town By ANTON SCHEREER

1 /CEPHALIC toote: Hartley Sher- | wood living on North Meridianst, wears the biggest hat in Indianapolis—a 1% ; Moses Marmalad I on Union-st, the smallest—a 6%. i nun AANE of the effects of the recent | depression, if I may use either of those words, is the boy (Burke’s I the name) who stands at the en- ! trance of the Central Library, ready j to relieve you of your bundles. His polite way makes you believe | it is a free checking service, to do I with as you please, but you’ll learn better if you try to pass him with something in your hands. The fact of the matter is that you can’t get into the library except with bare | hands. Everybody thinks it’s something thought up to check thievery but it isn’t if you listen to the library people. It’s the depression. The depression brought so many customers to the library that Luther Dickerson had to figure out anew way of handling them at the circulation desk. The result was a new system which required the book borrowers to do their own work—something like they make you do at the cafeteria. Mr. Dickerson figured that everybody had a lot of time on his hands, anyway. Well, to make the new system fool-proof, Mr. Dickerson had to put a girl at the entmace to see that the customers had done their work right, which, in turn, required somebody else to see that nobody got past the girl. That’s where Mr. Burke comes in. The fact that Mr. Burke relieves you of your brief case when you come in is just a polite byproduct of the original idea. Incidentally, it turns out, that the number of brief cases carried to the library today is just half of what it was before Mr. Dickerson thought up the idea. tt tt tt A ND speaking of gallant services tendered around here, there is a Mr. Robinson or Robertson, attached to Ayres’ delivery department, who tries out every lawnmower before handing it over to the consignee. In one case, he mowed half the consignees’ yard before he could be persuaded to let go of it. “It’s a sweet little machine,” said Mr. Robinson or Robertson or whatever his name is. tt a A MONG my many puerile and unlucrative accomplishments is the ability to hear what people are saying to one another in the street cars. Thus, the other day on an East Washington-st car (Sheridan av) I heard one woman tell another that she “honed” for anew hat. It turns out that she longed for anew hat. To “hone,” a corruption of the Welsh word “hawn” meaning “eager,” was brought to Indianapolis more than a hundred years ago by way of the Cumberland Gap. Fifty years ago, it was still a good word around here but you never hear it now except, possibly, on an Irvington street car. There are a lot of old-fashioned words like that around here. I once heard a woman call her daughter-in-law “daunsy.” If you or I had felt the way the old lady did we would have called the girl “dull.” I picked up that one a Brightwood street car.

TODAY’S SCIENCE ___ By Science Service _____

Dearborn, Mich., May is.— The future welfare and safety of the United States depends upon increased support of industrial research, Dr. Charles M. A. Stine, vice president of E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Cos., believes. Dr. Stine, who is in charge of the vast research activities of the du, Pont company, was one of the speakers at the second annual Dearborn Conference of Agricul- ! ture, Industry and Science. The conference, under the auspices of the Farm Chemurgic Council and the Chemical Foundation, was called “to advance the industrial use of American farm products through applied science.” America lags behind the other great powers in giving substantial public aid to scientific research, Dr. Stine said. “Throughout the civilized world, nations are studying for self-suffi-ciency on the one hand, and for ! scientific supremacy on the other," he said. “The chemical industries of Japan, Germany, Russia, France, Italy and Great Britain have almost an official status. “Research, especially chemical research, is being pressed to the utmost, not because chemistry is the favored scientific child, but because it is so all-encompassing that every other branch of science would be seriously retarded if chemistry lagged.” • Even Russia, Dr. Stine continued, “has learned that progress is not to be evoked through the pronunciamentos of the most unchallenged dictatorship.” “Russia.” he said, “has convinced herself that a nation that suppresses science in industry in this modern world is lost.” Answering critics who have said that, present-day ills could be reduced by dropping scientific research, Dr. Stine said, “Stop industrial research in America, or even cripple and hamper it by laws that would dry up its supporting funds, and a world drive for the economic conquest of this richest of all lands would be under way immediately.

CALLS FOR FIGHT ON CAR REROUTING By Fletcher E. Wall Well, I see that it took the S. Meridian-st boys to do the trick. I am referring to the meeting held in Druids Hall by the South Side Civic Club, at which members went on record as boycotting the Indianapolis Railways, Inc., because of their proposal to string a lot of poles and wires along Minnesota-st between East and Ringgold-sts, so that they may be in a position to install trackless trolley service in re-routing the Minnesota-st car line. At a Board of Works meeting, after several residents had protested and proper petitions were filed with the board, the board members granted the request of the street car company to use Minnesota-st. Understand, this is a one-way parking street and only 24 feet wide. Therefore, I say to my neighbors that the South Side Civic Club by its action has laid the gauntlet at our doors and I appeal to you to pick up this gauntlet and carry on. And remember, that the City Council will pass upon this matter in the near future, so let’s get on our toes and attend the council meetings which are held every second Monday at City Hall. For years we who reside between the East-st car line and the Shelbyst car line have walked to either of these lines, without complaint, and we surely can continue to do so. tt tt it ASKS FOR LIGHT ON WPA CONTROVERSY By Hiram Lackey In the name of common decency, the public deserves to be presented with more of the facts about the WPA controversy. The destructive criticism of the Republican press contains enough truth to make dangerous yarns. The WPA worker, like every other normal person, wants a shameless place in God’s scheme of things. He knows the thrills of self-respect and

Watch Your Health

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN TRAINING the child to control his bowels is easier than training him to control his bladder. In teaching the baby bowel control, these seven suggestions may be followed : 1. Begin during the first month to train your baby to use the chamber. 2. Hold him comfortably in your lap on the chamber. Do this at regular times; when he wakes up, when he is ready for his nap, and before each feeding. 3. Change diapers promptly when wet. This helps in his training. The baby soon learns to feel uncomfortable in a wet diaper. 4. As soon as the baby sits up easily of his own accord, have him use a chair in the bathroom, instead of the chamber in your lap. 5. Leave him on the chair not longer than five minutes. Do not let him have toys to play with. 6. When the baby can walk successfully, take off the diapers and put him in jersey panties. 7. Do not use rubber panties—they injure the skin.

the joys of creative work which we attain when ideals of efficiency and service are held aloft and followed. What stands between him and this honorable goal? It is the flaming sword of reactionary hatred, aimed at all humane, logical social planning. We are constantly bored by reading the reactionary complaints about the inefficiency of WPA. In November what is the WPA worker to do? Should he oast a vote to send the old gang of Republican politicians, perhaps behind some new faces, back to power? Why should a WPA worker vote to increase the power of industrial and political reactionaries who have no more love nor respect for a relief worker than they have for a homeless dog, and who are now planning, in Hoover-like fashion, to put the married relief workers back on pauper baskets, and to throw the single men back into flop houses? tt it a NEW TIMES FEATURE BRINGS COMMENT By A. R. O’Connor “No decision as to- what is morally right is possible without science.’ 1 I quote Dr. Albert Edward Wiggam, conductor of the new column in The Times—“ Let’s Explore Your Mind.” Using this startling statement as a criterion of the doctor’s mental propensities, it would seem queer that he would attempt to explore anybody’s mind. Maybe this hallucination explains the freedom and flexibility of interpretation of moral questions today. It is a well known fact Science (observe the capital) adheres to a theory today and rejects it tomorrow in favor of a more advanced “thought.” How could a people place the solution of their moral problems into such hands? By what right does Science assume this responsibility? The fact that the public does not know how to criticise intelligence

eling, use the large, loose, rubberized diaper. Have an extra one to place in your lap, or on the car or train seat. IT is important to teach the child not to delay after he gets on the toilet. If he is permitted to sit at the toilet playing with a toy or looking at a book, or otherwise amusing himself, without giving his main attention to the matter concerned, he will form a habit which may eventually result in constipation. The baby must learn to attempt to have an action of the bowel just as soon as he feels contact with the toilet seat. Many mothers, because of excess modesty, teach the child all sorts of tricks to indicate that he wishas to go to the toilet. Queer words are used for the purpose, and also strange gestures. It is just as well to realize that this is a normal activity of the bowel, and that the child should learn from the beginning the suitable words in relation to this activity. fER, ASK THE TIMES month of the year. Similar adverse weather conditions prevailed in Great Britain France, Spain, and other parts of Europe. Q —What causes varnish to crack? A—Cracking (called alligatoring) is due to lack of oil and inferior grade of gum or ordinary rosin in I the composition, especially when ex- | posed to strong sunlight or moistI ure. Q—What was the population of the United States in 1850, and how many were aged 60 years or over? How do these figures compare with 1930? A—ln 1850 the total population was 23,191,875, of whom 958,792 were aged 60 or over. In 1930, the population was of whom 10,385,026 were aged 60 or over.

tests is a mark in their favor; their inability to comprehend the psychological gibberish that shrouds an “intelligence” test certainly detracts nothing from their sanity, and this would be a statement containing too much .optimism regarding the psychologists who “get them up.” If Dr. Wiggam intends to conduct his column along the lines of his epic, “The New Decalogue of Science,” a few good laughs may be infused into the second section, but I’m afraid no rational knowledge will be garnered from this addition. OBJECTS TO ROUTING OF TROLLEY LINE By George Kleinschmidt Asa resident of Minnesota-st between S. East and Ringgold-sts I wish to express my opposition to the decision of the Board of Works and Sanitation relative to re-routing the Minnesota-st car line, to include our street, which is only 24 feet wide and has been a one-way parking street for years. How in the name of common sense do they figure on running a trackless trolley on this narrow street? We have a very pretty street, with nice homes, yet the street car company is to install poles and wires and create a dangerous traffic hazard. We circulated a last-minute petition, got 78 signers, of which only three were in favor of the cars running on Minnesota-st between East and Ringgold-sts. We presented this petition to the Board of Works at its meeting Friday, May 8. However, we might just as well have thrown it in the gutter for all the good it did. After all, we are taxpayers and voters, and are the ones that the street car company must look to to drop the nickels in the slot. We will walk first. Besides, the East-st or Shelby-st car lines are not so far away.

Vagabond from Indiana ERNIE PYLE

EDITOR'S NOTE—This rtrini reporter (or The Times goes where he pleases, when he pleases, in search of odd stories •boat this and that. NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico, May 18.—Now the time has come to leave Mexico. It's good to see Texas over there across the river once more, but it’s sad to be leaving Mexico, too. There is a haunting enchantment about this strange land. Before I came here I took a vow with myself not to come as a critic, nor as an analyst, and above all not to try to “interpret" the Mexican people. It seemed to me presumptuous of any foreigner to come here and. after a few days or weeks, to say “this is good.” or “this is bad.” or “Mexico should do this or that.” I didn’t know then what a wise viow it was. The other night a European who has lived in Mexico 30 years told me: “A foreigner could live here a hundred years, and he would not understand the Mexican people, and they would not understand him.” I believe that is true. tt tt a AND speaking of the self-ap-pointed critics: In Taxco I heard a rich, loudmouthed Californian sneering at everything Mexican. He said, in an old church: “Just look at them beams up there in the ceiling. They didn't even have sense enough to make them straight.” And in a delightful little hotel in south Mexico, where it was hot. and Mexican boys served the meals in the garden, I heard an English-, woman say: * “It is absolutely outrageous for these boys to be serving without coats on. It makes my blood boil. We should leave the hotel.” As far as I’m concerned, my whole summation of Mexico is that “I don't know.” Would Mexicans be better off with more civilization, more sanitation, more education, more food, more comforts? To an American mind, it certainly seems that they would. tt tt BUT I am not one to say definitely “yes.” Because with all that comes an end to the Indian inertia, an end to irresponsibility, an end to the philosophy of living just for today. an end to simplicity. And is it good to end all those things? I don’t know. I don’t think so. An American in a small Indian town was telling me the other day j about his cook. After considerable j trouble with unstable servants he had found this fellow, down from the mountains, and he seemed to be the perfect answer—clean, intelligent, reliable. But one morning, after two months, he came and said he was leaving. “But why?” asked my friend. “Aren’t you satisfied? Isn't everything all right?” Yes, everything was all right, and the pay was good, and he liked it there. “Then why do you go?” asked my friend. tt tt a WELL, it seemed he had to go back to his mountain farm to harvest his coffee crop. Yes, his brother could do it, but he wanted to do it himself. My friend argued with him for an hour, but without success. Finally he had an idea. “How much wlil your coffee crop come to?” he asked. So they figured and figured, and finally worked out that the year’s coffee crop would come to the amazing total of five and a half pesos. “Fine, I’ll buy it,” said my friend. “I’ll buy it, and we’ll just leave it there in the field. And you stay here with me, and in a year and a half if you save your money you’ll have enough to set up in business for yourself.” You know the answer, don’t you?,' The Mexican went home to harvest his $1.54 coffee crop, and sit in the sun a while. “You see,” said my friend, “they have no logic. The power of logic is not in them. They are not capable of reasoning.” No? DAILY THOUGHT The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found-, in his lips; he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity.—Malachi, 2:6. A LL the strength and force of (V man comes from his faith in things unseen. He who believes is strong; he who doubts is weak. Strong convictions precede great actions.—J. F. Clarke.
