SATURDAY. MAY 33. 193*. CONFERENCE OF SOCIAL WORK TNDIANAPOL IS, which will be host next year to the National Conference of Social Work, will be well represented at the sixty-third annual meeting of the conference opening Sunday in Atlantic City, N. J. Speakers from here will Include Miss Gertrude Taggart, civic and welfare worker; Wayne Coy, director of the State Department of Public Welfare; Miss Emma Paschner, director of the national child welfare division of the American Legion, and Francis D. McCabe, director of probation. An Idea of the scope of the conference which the city will entertain next year may be gained from the Atlantic City program. Ten thousand delegates are expected from all parts of the United States and Canada. Forty-eight other social work organizations—most of them national groups—will meet with the National Conference of Social Work as associate groups, blending their programs with that of the conference. About three hundred daily sessions are scheduled during the week. The national conference was last held here in 1915. INDIANA BANKERS TyA’EMBERS o f the Indiana Bankers’ Association, concluding their fortieth annual convention here yesterday, were given a reassuring picture of the nation's basic financial soundness by Marrincr S. Eccles, chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. While Mr. Eccles' statements to the bankers were “off the record,’’ it is no betrayal of confidence to say that he was optimistic about the future and undismayed about the hardships of recent years. He frankly admitted that a changing economy is accompanied by mistakes, both in government and in private business activities. He spoke as a public official, but also as a man who has made a distinct success in the banking business. This same confidence in America was reflected by Indiana bankers. Arthur V. Brown, president of the Indianapolis Clearing House Association and of the Indiana National Bank, told his colleagues that the United States is in the best condition of any country in the world. SUBVERSIVE, WE CALL IT VX/HERE, O where, is the 100-per-cent AmeriV canism of the vast and golden state of California that her two Senators should ask Congress for free use of foreign names for her own sunkissed wines? California's vine-decked towns and valleys bear names as glamorous as any in Europe. Such labels as Napa, Sonoma. St. Helena, Calistoga. San Benito, San Gabriel and the rest would roll off the tongue as sonorously as Champagne. Sauterne, Moselle, St. Julien or Chianti. More so than Hock, Medoc and Cognac or the stodgy British Port or Sherry. Could it be that this state of the world’s tallest trees, highest mountains, biggest ocean and chestiest boosters is, in fact, suffering from an inferiority complex? Or is it the result of subversive foreign influences? GIVING TOWNSEND A CUE / T'HE obvious reluctance of the Bell Committee to cite Dr. Townsend for contempt of the House indicates that the committee has come to recognize something that it might well have recognized earlier. It is that the good doctor walks the boards in the national theater in the role of a Messiah. The role is more apparent now that he has drawn about him the cloak of a martyr and intoned the plea of persecution. Although the Bell Committee has turned up some pertinent evidence in proof that the motives of some of the Townsend promoters were somewhat less pure than driven snow, nevertheless the head-hunting spirit which animates so many congressional investigations has not been absent from this one. The technique which this committee has followed is similar to that employed so successfully by Senator Jim Reed in investigating election frauds a few years ago. and for a while employed successfully by Senator Black, first in investigating ocean and airmail frauds and later in investigating utility lobbyists, but not so successfully when he raked through the private as well as public activities of various New Deal critics. Unlike the Black Committee, the Bell Committee, so far as we can see, has not gone beyond its legal powers. But it apparently has overplayed its hand, at least to the extent of creating an atmosphere in which Dr. Townsend could stalk with a martyr's tread away from the witness stand, leaving the committee not knowing what to do about it. The Black Committee got in wrong by ignoring the Bill cf Rights. Tl-e Bell Commi-tee got into a tough spot by misunderstanding the art of drama. The prosecutor's technique was inept. We hope that some day congressional investigators will learn thenlimitations. As for the Old-Age Revolving Pension Plan, the martyr act may cause a resurgence of Townsend sentiment, which recently has shown signs of weakening. But it will take more than flashes of emotion to sustain the movement. Despite our disbelief in the economics of his S2OO---menth pension plan and despite our distiust of the motives of some of his associates, we have always considered Dr. Townsend a sincere advocate. If his plan is fundamentally sound, as he contends it is, he would get further in the long run by using logic rather than dramatics. RAIL PROGRESS A FTER three weeks conference in Washington railway carriers s.nd labor have announced an agreement on tneir long-pending impasse over co-ordination of rail facilities. Under the agreement two or more railroads that wish to merge their terminal facilities, pool their traffic or arrange other co-ordinations in the interest of economy, will do so without throwing more workers on to the labor market. Where men's jobs are rendered useless the men will be given “displacement j allowances," but wherever possible they will be kept ! JP the pay The agreement, of course, dys not j

apply to unemployment brought about by other causes. Thus, by mutual agreement, is removed the chief obstacle to elimination of that most conspicuous of wastes in the American railroad system, uneconomic duplication of facilities. An answer is found to the question; How can the railways save money without wasting human beings? The agreement makes unnecessary passage of the pending Wheeler-Crcsser Bill, which would have protected rail labor from displacement as the result of co-ordination. It does not make unnecessary the continued services of Federal Rail Co-ordinator JOScDh B. Eastman. Mr. Eastman has been the genius behind this settlement. He prepared the first co-ordination program for the railroads to follow. He brought about regulation of motor vehicle lines. His tireless brain and energy have helped the railroads in countless ways. There may be no need to continue his present power to force consolidations. But there is need for his further services as a fact-finder, policy guide and government representative for the railroad industry. Under the present law the position of co-ordinator lapses on June 16. If Congress does nothing Mr. Eastman would retire to his old place as Interstate Commerce Commissioner. His position as co-ordinator should be continued by Congress and his services in that position secured by the President. Credit for the new agreement goes also to President Roosevelt, who urged such an understanding hist March, and to the patience of the carriers’ and railmen's spokesmen. If there were more such labor-management co-operation we would have fewer strikes and fewer unemployed. OLD STORY; NEW SETTING TTELIUM gas is now used extensively in the treatment of asthma, but it costs around S2O to S3O a tank. Therefore, when the Interior Department appropriation bill was before the House, Rep. Lanham of Texas secured an amendment authorizing the Bureau of Mines to sell its supplies at cost, or around $5, to doctors and hospitals. When the bill reached the Senate private helium interests of Kentucky got busy. Backed by Senator Barkley they filed a protest asserting that such reduction of costs would injure their business. The Senate committee threw out the Lanham amendment. The Kentucky Senator has a fine pair of lungs which he uses for senatorial speech-making and convention keynoting, it is to be hoped that asthma never afflicts his lungs to remind him of the suffering he might have prevented. ON THE OTHER HAND TN his Guffey Coal Case opinion, Justice Sutherland pointed to the Founding Fathers’ refusal to write into the Constitution the Randolph resolution vesting Congress with powers “to legislate in all cases to which the separate states are incompetent, or in which the harmony of the United States may be interrupted by the exercise of individual legislation." "II (the Constitution) made no grant of authority," said Justice Sutherland, “to Congress to legislate substantively for the general welfare; and no such authority exists save as the general welfare may be promoted by the exercise of powers which are granted." On the other hand this same Framers’ Convention turned down—not once but three times—proposals that the Supreme Court be authorized to pass upon acts of Congress. , '

A WOMAN’S VIEWPOINT BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Tj'ORMULAS for keeping yourig are presented td the • middle-aged American woman in an ever increasing array. But why do we wish to remain young? It is enough to explain that we hope by our extraordinary juvenescence to make an impression on the family, the friends or the public, but unless you happen to be in the show business no such impression will ever be made. The family will soon become bored with your obsession and your friends will envy you to the point of positive dislike. Do we want to stay young'to keep our husbands? It is so said. However, I have long since become disillusioned on that score because some of the most devoted husbands I know are faithful to women who have let themselves grow middle-aged without regret, and who spend more time cultivating friendship than beauty. Along with millions of others of my sex I once thought that men could be held by the frail tendrils of physical loveliness. I believe so no longer since I have watched so many men walk out on ladies of a most distracting loveliness with persons in whom I could discover no trace of chaim. The flower of passion grows in all kinds of soil and there is no accounting for masculine tastes. Neither poet nor philosopher can explain why we love this one and not that for love “goeth where it listeth.” There remains but one sensible reason why women should desire to remain young—so we can work. It is our sole legitimate excuse for wanting perpetual y6uth. And at bottom. I dare say, it is the only one, though few- of us realize it. Women who make valuable contributions to family or society never engage in these desperate hand-to-hand combats with time, but they are always young. Remember Marie Dressier. She never took prizes in beauty shows, but how vivid and charming and ageless she seemed. Carrie Chapman Catt, Margaret Sanger, Mrs. Roosevelt. Do we ask their age? No. and they do not worry about getting old. They are too busy doing something for humanity. In our smaller spheres each of us might imitate them. HEARD IN CONGRESS n EP. RICH (R„ Pa.): The appropriation bills -IN- have been very large and they are coming back from the Senate very much increased in amount and I would like to ask the Majority Leader if he is going to permit these great increases to be added to the appropriation bills that have already been passed by the House? m a a Rep. Bankhead (D., Ala.): In answer to that, I will say to the gentleman from Pennsylvania that the gentleman does me too much honor. I am only one humble member of the House of Representatives. I can not control the judgment of the 434 other members of the House. I sometimes wish I could control the judgment of the gentleman from Pennsylvania, but it seems hopeless. (Laughter.) a a a Rep. Rich: I think the gentleman ought to say “I am not a humble member and I have some backbone and I am going to assert myself.” a a a Senator Barbour (R„ N. J.): We have all heard of the man who hit himself on the head with a hammer because it felt so good when he stopped. (Laughter.) We have a parallel case in an Administration which, estimating that it would need about $6,000,000,000 for two years of relief, appropriated $4,800,000,000 the first year and then tapered off to the less frightening sum of $1,500,000,000 the second year.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Our Town By ANTON SCHERRER

nnHIS department now knows how -*■ Elmer Taflinger picks the models for his life classes. Mr. Taflinger does his own scouting and. unlike most scouting nowadays, it's all open and above-board. He finds some of his best material | where you'd least suspect it—in the schools around here, for instance. | The N. C. A. G. U., which is the ! normal school for physical instruction at the Athenaeum, is nearly always good for something. At | least, ior male models. Mr. Taf- ! linger suspects it is also good for feimale models, but he hasn’t had any luck that way. Mr. Taflinger doesn’t much mind because he depends on a female model who has spent the last seven years posing for his class Po. It’s more than any man has been able to do. tt tt 'T'HE dancing schools are also good in their way, says Mr. Taflinger, but outside of that, the situation isn’t anything to brag about. It isn’t hopeless, however, because Mr. Taflinger sees signs of some of the greatest models coming to Indianapolis soon. Mr. Taflinger bases his hope on the fact that most of the state universities out West now have life classes in connection with their art courses. And it can’t be long, thinks Mr. Taflinger, until the models out East will hear about it. Indianapolis will profit by it—by as much as a one-night stand, anyway. Indianapolis used to be a good one-night stand back in the days when Madame Belmont came to town. Madame Belmont’s reputation as a model around New York and the Art Students League was so big that it enabled her to make an annual trans-continental tour, like a prima donna. She always stopped off in Indianapolis and got her share of the business. Madame Belmont advertised that she had 59 different poses, not counting what she could do with her hands. What she really had said Mr. Taflinger, were three dandy poses. The rest were nuances but they were god if you lige nuances. Every artist around here as old or older than Clifton Wheeler has painted Madame Belmont and her nuances. n tt tt "jV/YODELS, like everybody else -*•*-*• around here, have had to take a cut during the depression. Their honororium is now 75 cents an hour. It used to be a dollar. The hour consists of two 25-minute periods of posing with five minute intervals for rest. Mr. Taflinger doesn’t pick models for posing ability alone. They have to have personality* which isn't the same as temperament, says Mr. Taflinger. A model without personality can wilt a class in two minutes. And nothing unnerves Mr. Taflinger more than a wilted class. Models nowadays aren’t what they used to be, says Mr. Taflinger. There was Gorsi, for instance. Corsi could pose five hours without moving a muscle or batting an eye. He did it when John Singer Sargent painted the “Prophets" for the Boston Library. Mr. Taflinger doesn’t know any mode! who could do that now but neither does he know any painter today who could do the “Prophets."

TODAY’S SCIENCE BY DAVID DIETZ ' I "'HE life of the butterfly is a spectacular proof of the frequently repeated adage that truth !is stranger than fiction. Legend has j assigned nine lives to a cat but science has proved that certain butterflies are born seven times. Austin H. Clark, distinguished biologist of the Smithsonian Institution, has made a detailed study of the life of the butterfly known as the gold-banded skipper, a rather rare butterfly found in early summer in the damp Maryland and Virginia woods. This creature, after emerging from the egg as a tiny chrome-yel-low caterpillar with an extremely large head, goes through six additional changes or metamorphoses. In each stage, it is a creature differing from the other stages in appearance, physical structure, color, and way of life, The life pattern of the goldbanded skipper roughly approximates that of other butterflies, Mr. Clark says, although some have fewer stages or metamorphoses. During the first five weeks of its life, the gold-banded skipper goes through five “rebirths,” each time crawling out of its skin ana emerging as a creature notably different from the previous stage. Then comes the final radical j change, the period of pupation, during which the creature is in sus- j pended animation in the cocoon. At; this time, it covers itself with a j waxen overcoat which looks, says j Mr. Clark, like light lavender-tinted ! snow.

Watch Your Health

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN 'T'HE mother begins to secrete -I milk soon after her baby is born. Occasionally, a few drops may come from the breast even before ! the child's birth. The milk is scanty during the first | two or three days, but becomes proI fuse, in most cases, by the third or I fourth day. Occasionally, the milk | flow may be delayed until the tenth : or twelfth day. If the supply of mik seems in- \ sufficient during the first 10 or 12 : days, it should be stimulated by en- | couraging the baby to nurse, by arI tificial pumping, or in some similar : manner. The average mother will secrete ! from 10 to 16 ounces, or about a pint, of milk by the end of the first week. The amount gradually increases, so that by the sixth month she may be secreting a quart daily. The amount of milk usually parallels demands of the baby. Complete emptying of the breast helps to encourage the milk supply. Milk from the mother’s breast provides 20 calories for each ounce. During the eary days, immediately after the birth of tne child, the thin fluid which is secreted is called colostrum. This differs from the milk which comes later. It contains more protein than does the Liter milk, and also is richer in minerals; but it provides less sugar and .V*ss fat. unit IT has been established that the colostrum of the cow contains substances which protect calves IF YOU CAN’T ANSM Inclose • 3-cent (tamp for reply when addressing any Question of fact or information to The Indianapolis Times Washington Service Bureac 1013 13thst.

Property owners have been able to get loans to keep their property from selling at sherriffs’ sales. The wide-awake public should tell the critic the big things he sees could be a louse in his eyebrow. Business of all kinds sees nothing to be alarmed about. Economy in government and the home should be exercised more freely. But forget the old slogan “Depression.” tt tt tt JOHNSON PROPOSES WAY OUT OF DILEMMA By Hugh S. Johnson, Cincinnati The Guffey coal decision knocks the props out from under one of the most hopeful developments in the United States—the salvation of a sick industry and the relief of an immense area of workers’ distress by the united action of labor and management—the hope of NR A and the crown of New Deal accomplishment. It does more. It presents the stark fact to the country that, as the Supreme Court interprets the Constitution, there is no power in our form of government which is able to deal nationally with acute national problems involving labor. The states can’t do it, for many practical reasons. If the United States can’t do it for a constitu-

from certain infections. It is not known whether these substances exist in human colostrum, but the latter does contain a high percentj age of substances with which antibodies, affecting diseases that concern human beings, are usually associated. Doctors, therefore, insist nowadays that babies should have colostrum, if it is at all possible for i their mothers to provide them with it. Mature milk, which is secreted by the mother after the first month, is about 87.5 per cent water; 1.25 per cent protein; 7.5 per cent sugar; and 3.5 per cent fat. The amounts of these constituents vary in different specimens, most variable being the fat, which may be anywhere from 2 to 6 per cent. If the mother is getting an insufficient amount of food, the milk will be deficient in both fat and protein. If she gets too little fluid, the milk will diminish in quantity. The composition of the milk is influenced little by the mother’s diet, except for the vitamins^ A question invariably asked is whether tea, coffee, tobacco or alcohol affect mother's milk. Most doctors are convinced that these substances may be used in small amounts, but that excesses will be harmful. Alcohol taken in negligible quantities does not appear in the milk. Mothers who are nursing babies, however, should not experiment with alcoholic drinks because it is known that intoxication of the nursing mother may produce harm-, ful symptoms in the baby.

tional reason, then there is no authority in any form of American government to deal with it at all. It is a zone of economic anavchy which exists, in no other nation. Is there no way out? There is, in the coal industry. Let Congress before it goes horpe pass this joint resolution: “Agreements to sustain prices in the bituminous coal industry, when approved by the President and found necessary by him to sustain agreements between a majority of employers and employes in that industry, shall not be held to violate the anti-trust acts." a tt tt SEES NEED FOR MORE HOTEL FACILITIES By An Admirer of Indianapolis I note that big hotels in Indianapolis were completely sold out for the big May 30 race, and have been for weeks. Now we don’t need more hotels but we do need a hotel in the vicinity of the old Denison. All hotels are centered around Washington and S. Ulinois-sts, then not much north, and they are not large, outside of the Marott, which of course, is a good ways north. A good, up-to-date, first-class hotel of seven or eight stories near Pennsylvania and Ohio-sts, or Massa-chusetts-av and Ohio-st, surely would get business. A hotel surely is needed.

EDITOR'S NOTE—This rvinj r-prter for Th Times joes where he pleases, when he pleases, in search of odd stories whout this tuJ that. DALLAS. May 23.—Every morning at 8 o'clock sharp. 20 men j sit down in chairs around the walls 1 of an office here ih Dallas. The boss passes around cigars. If everybody is on time, the boss pays for the cigars If somebody is late, that somebody has to pay for them. These men have been gathering every morning for months. They are the mainspring of the Texas Centennial Exposition. They are the department heads. They sit down daily and talk over their troubles, and their plans. Months ago these men and their staffs started building this mighty Centennial Exposition. There were, roughly, a little more than nine million things to be done. Weeks and months went by. and the Centennial progressed. But it's hard to work against a deadline, until the line gets close enough for you to see it. A few weeks ago the time came when you could look ahead on the calendar and actually see June 6. u tt a THAT was the old persuader. The throttle went to the floor. Things shot forward. The Centennial grounds became a chaos of activity. Today these men are working up to a terrific climax. The opening is just a few days away. There is a tenseness in the air. Ten thousand people are slashing away, day and night, on the final stretch. Buildings take shape overnight. People rush along hallways in the Administration Building, bumping into each other. Everything is rush, rush, rush. So they're working to a climax, but they'll make it. These 20 men, and the 10.000 under them, have things in hand. When the gates open June 6 on this mammoth spec--1 tacle of frontier history, nearly everything will be ready. Two months ago I looked in on the Centennial, on my w ay to Mexico. There were big raw holes m | the ground, and scaffolding here and there. But it didn't look much lika an exposition. it a a THE change in two months in almost inconceivable. I nave just had lunch in a huge, completely furnished restaurant. Two months ago I saw the steam shovel take out the first hunk of dirt for the basement. Everything has gone up like that. Twenty-five thousand job-hunters have been turned down. The roads into Dallas are lined thick with hitch-hikers (mostly nice-looking young men, too) hunting jobs with the Centennial. Ten thousand builders are at work today. After the Centennial is open and settled then it will take 6000 people to run it. A million advance tickets have been sold. They expect to sell two million before opening day. An attendance of 10.000.000 during the summer is counted on. Dallas has publicized its exposition like nobody's business. Everybody in America must know about the Centennial by now except my Uncle Jake, who lives in a cave up in the Ozarks. It's costing SBOO a month just to clip Centennial stuff in the nation's newspapers. The Texas Centennial is for three purposes: To commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of Texan independence from Mexico; to show to the nation the progress Texas has made in 100 years ana to bring 10,000,000 visitors in here and make a lot of money for Dallas. tt a tt SO far as I can see at this writing, all three points will be realized. Dallas has been accused of making too little of a historical celebration out of this thing and too much of a big all-round, bring-’em-in, get-the-dough exposition. But it seems to me there will be plenty of history. The historical theme runs through everything—except the Midway—and how can you run a historical theme through a fan dancer? They say more than 50 per cent of the exposition will have a historical background. All the big exhibitors, such 8s Ford. General Motors. Gulf. Humble oil and so on, will nave historical displays. Dallas claims many things for its coming Centennial. But there is one claim which particularly impresses me: That the visitor will see more for his 50 cents (without running into a second pay gate), than anybody ever saw.
