Vagabon FROM INDIANA
ERNIE PYLE
PHILADELPHIA, April 19.—Boake Carter says he is really no happier today, as a wealthy and famous man, than he was 10 years ago when he was making $40 a week and driving a second-hand car.
He says the penalties of increasing fortune and fame are ghastly. Yet he won't quit, because he’s doing exactly what he wants to do— writing and talking with absolute freedom. Next
to his work, Carter loves his home. When his pay started bounding upward, one of the first things he did was buy a farm. It’s 18 miles from Philadelphia, and he lives there. ; His new money has brought him his yacht, too, and his cars,’ for which he’s glad. But he says that what he has to pay for protection keeps pace with. his increasing wealth. He is surrounded by costly necessities and protections. It takes two people at the farm. He hires a captain for the boat. He has to have a secretary. And everything is insured— his house, cars, boat, wife, children, furniture, the boat captain. Even his own voice is insured. If he gets a cold and loses his radio voice, he gets $200 a month, or a week, I forget which. < Like all people in the limelight, he 1s constantly harassed. Requests on his time. Requests on his Phony lawsuits. : And he’s worried about kidnapers. His children are 14 and 6. He has had one frightening semiextortion scare already. Lindbergh once told him never to let anybody write anything at ‘all about his family. Bat he’s letting me write this because it 11 show prospective kidnapers what they're up against.
» » 8 House Alarm System
ISTEN to this: Carter's entire house is equipped ~ with a photo-electric alarm system. You don’t even have to touch anything—just come near a door or window and the thing goes off. Bells ring all over the place. Red lights flash on a chart by Boake’s bed, and the lights show exactly which window or door the alarm comes from. Floodlights go on all around the house, and all over the grounds. _ And listen to this: Carter has two hobbies. One
Mr. Pyle
is his yacht, for summer. The other is shooting, for
winter. He practices two hours a week on a range at his farm. He can crack 95 out of 100. He shoots with Hoover's G-Men for relaxation. He has nine pistols and four rifles in the house. I think I'll do my kidnaping elsewhere. : Carter spends most of his time in Philadelphia, of course, but travels around some gathering background for his sharp opinions. He goes to Washington often. He says his years of knocking around over the world really provided the education and background which have made his radio stint successful.
2 2 "
RS. CARTER is society editor of The Philadelphia Bulletin. Carter says she’s 10 times smarter than he is, and that that isn’t hooey. He says she’s one of the few women he has ever known who doesn’t play a wompan’s game of flattery and agreement. Carter is pleased to be No. 1 radio commentator. But he says nn credit really belongs to Philco, his sponsors. They gave him an absolutely free hand to say anything he pleases. They don't even see his talk before he gives it.
Mrs.Roosevelt's Day
By ELEANOR ROOSEVELT
ASHINGTON, Sunday.-—On. Friday afternoon we were joined for a brief time in our sightseeing tour by Senator and Mrs. Byrnes and Senator and Mrs. Moore. We saw two very unique tombstones in St. Phillips Churchyard in Charleston, one of which I had copied, so eventually you will get it in this column. The other inscription amused me for two reasons. First, because to put just your initials on a tombstone strikes me as slightly arrogant. Second, .the initials on this special tombstone, which I brought home to my husband. They read, “W. P. A. passed away in 1835.” It seems, however, to be a very active corpse today! We left at 8 Saturday morning and drove out of Charleston over the Cooper bridge, which is a very interesting bridge. Here occurred my first piece of careless driving. .A very kind friend of Mrs. Hunt-
ington’s had driven out there to meet us with some °
maps for the rest of our trip and as we were talking someone drove up behind us. ; The friend told me to pull out to the right hand side. Without stopping to look if" there was anything in the way, I pulled the car over only to find myself colliding with a low cement division which was intended to keep the cars apart. The car got quite a jar, but no harm was done to the cement or my tires. However, my feelings as a driver were very much injured. It is always worse to know the fault is all yours! The rest of the day was uneventful. We stopped under a most gorgeous tree to drink our coffee and to eat some of the Charleston specialties which had been showered upon us. I think the benne cookies are very good, but the superstition which is attached to the growing of benne worries me somewhat. . They say the Negroes believe that if you ever let it. die out the wellbeing which comes with it will also go. The meaning of the word is, of course, “well being.” - Apparently there are no uses for benne except as a food for the wild birds, who come in great numbers wherever it grows, and for the making of cookies and candy. We reached Richmond, Va., at 6:15, spent a quiet evening and then started off this morning for Washington. The roads were clear for the first part of the trip, but became more and more crowded as we neared the city. Once in Washington, the traffic was quite terrible.
New Books
PUBLIC LIBRARY PRESENTS—
HERE are some books which every child should at least be exposed to sometime during his childhood, says May Lamberton Becker in FIRST ADVENTURES IN READING (Stokes), and she gives delightful chapters of “unofficial personal suggestions” for such books. Starting with a discussion of the earliest songs that can be sung to the baby, the Mother Goose rhymes and the fecitable poetry, she carries the reader on through the fairy tale age, the “is it true?” period, to the ‘teen age, when mystery and romance are demanded. Nor does she slight the animal stories, or the lovely Bible stories; and she has ideas on the “how to behave” books. At the end of each chapter, the author has appended suggested lists of books to be used as foundation reading.
Mrs. Becker has in this small volume projected not only the knowledge, but the joy and the adventure that a child is given when he is introduced to good books. ” n s N her diary and recollections, combined for I SAW THEM DIE (Harcourt), Shirley Millard packs into a few pages the most stark bloody details of the World War that it is possible to find. She was a young, inexperienced girl, full of vigor and vifality, ‘eager to get into the thick of things. with a knowledge of French, she went to the front to join the French Red Cross unit, to meet life in all the horrible realities of war. Her book strips war of its glamour, pomp, and red tape, so that tomorrow at the sound of the bugle, your father, son,’ or sweetheart will know “what all the trouble is,” and will walt no part of it. & Words are feeble in reviewing such a book. As the editor, Adele Comandini, says to those of us at home, “. . . in the distance war had dignity, nobility, even brilliance, but seen through a telescope—I might even say, a microscope—I can honestly say I have seen enough of it.” : ks oy

RIVALRY of Italy with Great Britain for hegemony in the Mediterranean Sea, projected as an active political factor by the Ethiopian campaign, has been sharpened by Mussolini's support of Gen. Franco and the Fascist cause
Annexation of Ethiopia has made the Eastern Mediterranean and the Suez Canal a highway of empire for Italy, as for Britain, and has induced enhancement of Italian naval and air power in a region long dominated by British arms. The possibility of the establishment of a Fascist Spanish state, in alliance with Italy, has raised a potential challenge to British supremacy in the Western Mediter-
In the meantime, fearing a general European war, England has felt compelled to move with the utmost cau-
tion to avoid any step that ® might lead to more active intervention by Italy in aid
of Franco. British supremacy in the Mediterranean dates from the seizure of Gibraltar, at its western gateway, in 1704. Acquisition of Malta during the Napoleonic wars, a century later, gave England a valuable strategic station midway in the length of the Mediterranean and close to the shores of Sicily. Cyprus, an island near the eastern end of the sea, came under British influence in 1878 and formally was annexed in 1914. Construction of the Suez Canal, now regarded as a vital link in imperial communications, was originally opposed by Great Britain as-a device for French interference in the East. The canal, cpened in 1869, was built and is still owned and operated by a French company. The British government, however, bought a 44 per cent interest in 1875, and soon thereafter assumed principal responsibility for protection of the waterway. n ” EJ HE importance to British interests of assuring free passage through the Su€z Canal was a prime factor of Great Britain's
occupation of Egypt in 1882. While the occupation was proclaimed as temporary, the British government acting as “adviser” to the Khedive of Egypt, England in practice exercised complete authority and no change in the political status of the country occurred until 1914. When Turkey, to whose Sultan the Egyptian Khedive gaye nominal allegiance, joined the Central Powers in the World War, Egypt was declared a British protectorate. In 1922 England granted the country independence, but limited its real sovereignty by reserving determination of certain questions, pending a final settlement, to the absolute discretion of the British government. Settlement of those questions was nol reached until 1936, when Italy’s activities in Ethiopia brought to Egyptians dn appreciation of the value of British protection. Under the AngloEgyptian treaty ratified last December, Egypt attained full independence and is to become a
tions. The treaty provides, however, for a perpetual military alliance between the two countries and gives British troops full liberty of movement throughout Egyptian territory in event of emergency.
" ” 2 PENING of the Suez Canal ’ and the occupation of Egypt Increased the strategic value of Britain's possessions at Gibraltar
and Malta. After the World War, Great Britain's position in the eastern Mediterranean was strengthened by her appointment as mandatory for Palestine, Transjordan and Iraq. This region developed strategic importance as the route of air lines to India and Australia. It gained economic importance for England, moreover, because of British interests in the Iraq Petroleum Co.,. whose product is delivered by pipeline at the Palestine port of Haifa. Italy, although a Mediterranean country, was handicapped by lack of political unification before 1870. Its first colonial ventures, on the Red Sea coast of East Africa in the 1880s, were encouraged by Great Britain as a check to French expansion. Britain even looked tolerantly on an Italian treaty with Ethiopia in 1889, under which Italy assumed to direct the foreign affairs | of that. country. Italian influence in Ethiopia was | terminated, however, by the disas- | ter at Adowa in 1896. Italian | penetration in the north African territory of Libya was then encouraged by England to forestali extension of French influence eastward from Tunis. Italy finally gained Libya, and also Rhodes and the Dodecanese Islands in the eastern Mediterranean, as a result of the TurcoItalian War of 1911-12.
” ” ” S reward for joining the Allies in the World War, Italy had expected to obtain Smyrna and Adalia in Asia Minor and additional territory in Africa. Denial of these spoils caused deep indig-
nation in Italy and contributed to the rise of Fascism. Although Britain and France made certain African concessions to Italy in 1925 and 1935, respectively, Mussolini was not to be deterred from seeking greater gains by: force of arms. Creation of an Italian Empire by annexation of Ethiopia, May 9, 1936, was proclaimed as fulfillment
HEARD IN CONGRESS
EP. RICH (R. Pa,): Mr. Speaker, this morning we received a special invitation to come over and hear the prayer that was offered, and I think it was a very fine one. May I say that each day a prayer is offered in the House, and I believe it would do every member of the House some good if they attended at the appointed hour of prayer. And the Speaker might do a good turn to all members if he would invite them to be present at the opening of each session of the House and hear our dear Chaplain pray to Almighty God for the. Congress; they need this inspiration.

of a goal toward which Fascism had been striving for 14 years. Anglo-Italian relations, serious= ly embittered by England's leadershrip in the movement for application of League sanctions against Italy, were temporarily patched up by signature of an agreement on Jan. 2, 1937, by which each nation undertook to respect the rights and interests of the other in the Mediterranean. Subsequent events, however, have again produced strain. Meanwhile, Italy is building up her naval and air strength to such an extent as seriously to threaten Britain’s strategic position in the Mediterranean, despite counter measures on England’s part. The resultant situation seems likely to produce periodic fraction between the two powers. : : One hopeful factor is that the present close intertwining of British and Italian bases, with consequent danger to both sides in event of open conflict, may itself serve as a check to aggression.

MACHINE BOOKKEEPING FAVORED
ER FOR ITS
ACCURACY
HE question of whether modern bookkeeping methods help prevent shortages in the accounts of City officials handling public money has been raised many times. ‘Indianapolis and St. Louis are among the many large cities that have not installed machine methods of bookkeeping, continuing to do their bookkeeping by hand.
Walter Boetcher, City Controller, said he favored machine bookkeeping for accuracy and speed. He said, however, there never had been any concerted effort to modernize Indianapolis’ accounting system because of the expense to the public. He said that such a change would be difficult because of the clamor about the high tax rate. Mr. Boetcher said installation of a central machine bookkeeping machinery would no doubt cut down personnel. “I personally feel that replacement of personnel by machinery should be avoided where it is not absolutely necessary,” Mr. Boetcher said. u a ”
HE increased demand for exact information concerning costs of city governments, schools, and other public services, has promoted widespread utilization of up-to-date equipment by financial and administrative offices. The Municipal Index and Atlas of 1936 shows that 384 cities of 10,000 population or more use business machines of some sort. Probably less than half of all the cities of 10,000 or more, however, are using machine accounting on their general books and probably not more than 10 per cent of the 3000 counties in the United States use machines to the extent they might—especially in the work of tax collection. The question: “Is the use of business machines an index of success-
swered by comparing 12 cities with very low tax rates and 12 cities having the highest tax rates. The score is as follows: In 12 cities with lowest tax rates, seven use accounting and bookkeeping machines, and five do not; nine use billing machines and three do not. All 12 use other ‘business machines of some sort, such as addressing, calculating, stamping, and duplicating devices. Of 12 cities with highest tax rates, three use accounting and bookkeeping machines, and nine do not; seven use billing machines and five do not; 10 use some other types. of machines and two use no machines at all.
” s 8 CONTRAST of ‘the uses of business machines by four cities made by the index and Atlas shows the following: In Beaumont, Tex., with a population of 58,000, 25 machines are used in the municipal offices. This is a rate of one machine for 2320 persons, or 0.4 machines per 1000 ‘population... In - Glendale, - Calif. 63,000 population, 92 machines are used, making one for every 685 persons in the city or 1.5 machines per 1000 population. Rochester, N. Y., with a population of 328,000, utilizes 302 machines in the city offices; approximately one machine per 1000 population. 578,000 population uses 150 machines; one for 3858 persons or 0.3 machines per 1000 population. The tax rate in these cities is as follows: Beaumont, $16.80 per $1000 of assessed valuation; - Glendale, $13.20 per $1000; Rochester, $16.97 per: $1000 and Milwaukee, $14.53 per $1000. These figures do not appear to support the idea that the use of machines is always reflected in
ful financial management?” 8 an-

NE of the best installations of machine accounting is in the office of the controller of the city and county of San Francisco. About three years ago, New York City made extensive installations which considerably reduced personnel. This was done under the supervision of William Donaldson, C. P. A., who was appointed deputy controller. One of the most recent large installations of accounting machines was made by Charles J. Fox, City Auditor of Boston, to keep books on apropriations. Albert Lea, Minn. has one machine which does all of the accounting work for all of the municipal departments. Several counties in Pennsylvania have been installing machine bookkeeping within the last year or so, chiefly in the preparation of tax rolls and tax bills. Pennsylvania counties probably lead those of other states in mechanization, Carl H. Chatters, executive director of the Municipal Finances Officers’ Association of the United States and Canada, has commented upon the use of machines as follows: “Where a person with pen and ink might make 300 entries a day, the machine will make more than 1000 and add and subtract at the same time. The machines can write a water bill, a sheet for the customer’s ledger, and a master proof sheet all in one operation. Some of the machines will even do the multiplying of the bill as well as the adding of a whole series of bills without removing proof sheets or employing any subsidiary machine.” Mr. Chatters concludes by saying that “the people who do a job determine just how well it will be done,” and machines, of course, are of little value unless their operation
supervised by a .competent adrator.” > |
Flynn Warns Labor Federal Antistrike Laws Possible
By JOHN T. FLYNN
Times Spccial Writer
EW YORK, April 19.—While labor rejoices in the decisions which finally put it in the swim— swimming in the stream of interstate commerce—it would be well to contemplate one very important aspect of its new liberty. A few days ago the manufacturing plant was intrastate. The labor in it was intrastate. @ The Sherman Antitrust Law couldy’t reach it. The Wagner Labor Relations Act couldn’t reach it. But today that same plant is “interstate.” The labor in it is “interstate,” swimming in the great stream of interstate commerce. Now the Sherman Antitrust Law can reach the plant a little easier. But that’s not so important because there doesn’t seem to be anyone very much worried about pushing the old law over on anyone. The Wagner Labor Relations Act .can reach them. But, do not forget, so can a national law to curb sitdown strikes. Indeed, so can a law to regulate stand-up strikes—strikes of any kind which become & “burden” on interstate commerce.
” n 2
HE fact is a little more than strange. Forty-two years ago, in 1895, in the first case involving the Sherman Antitrust Law—the famous Knight case—a Democratic Chief Justice, Fuller, first announced this weird doctrine that the manufacturing part of the process of producing goods was intrastate even though all the other processes in the series of producing were carried on by a trust across many state boundaries. That great old jurist, Justice Harlan of Kentucky, oddly enough a Republican, lifted his voice against this is one of the most strident and angry dissents in the history of the Court. Today the old justice is
vindicated. ' His dissent has become the law of the land. But for 42 years the majority opinion of Justice Fuller was used to protect big business from the wrath of the antitrust laws. Then came the depression of 1929 et seq. and laws were passed to protect labor in its right to strike and organize and to bargain. And again the doctrine of Mr. Justice Fuller was trotted out to protect the employer from the Wagner Labor Relations Act and other laws. -
EJ 3 2 UT then came the wave of sitdown strikes—the most powerful weapon labor had ever invented.
With it Lewis and his motor workers were able to bring thc powerful General Motors to its knees. They were able to force the arrogant steel industry into surrender. And all over the country the sit-downers were squatting on their intrastate factories. When presto! the factories in a twinkling of the eye became interstate and labor interstate. Suddenly it has become constitutional for Congress to pass laws to deal with the “arrogant leaders of labor,” to chase the sit-downers out of their mills. : ~ The decisions are, of course, eminently just. But labor would do well to remember, in the midst of its hosannahs, that the Congress that can protect labor swimming in the “stream of interstate commerce” can also sock that same labor when it sits down in the stream and when Congress changes its complexion and becomes conservative. Maybe it was the sit-downers who turned on the light for the converted judges. Maybe their new liberalism is just a little flavored with a dash of pragmatic conservatism after all. .
Urges Equality of Islands In New Sugar Quota Bill
XCERPTS from the testimony of Dr. Ernest Gruening, director
|of the Interior Department’s Divi-
sion of Territories and Island Possessions—appearing before the House Agriculture subcommittee, at a hearing on the new Sugar Quota Bill: “I want to urge particularly . . . that as members of the Congress you have a special solicitude for the Territories and island possessions which have no vote in your body. . . . | “We are concerned only with a very fundamental change which the Jones-Costigan bill made in our
| geography and which this bill per-
petuates. “It creates two kinds of territory for America. It creates a continental and an offshore America. We cannot recognize such a division. We think there is no warrant or justification for it whatever. “We know only one kind of Amef-
ica, and that includes the land where the flag flies, and American citizens reside. ‘We do not recognize two kinds of Americans, continental and offshore Americans. It is our plea and our very earnest plea, that only one terminology be used in this bill so far as all parts of America are concerned, and this is the word ‘domestic.’ “We can recognize domestic and foreign. “We feel that Hawaii and Puerto Rico are entitled to exactly the same kind of consideration that Florida, and that Louisiana will be entitled to, and are entitled to. We are not raising the issue of quota at all. If the total quota is to go up, Hawaii and Puerto Rico’s quota should go up, too. If it is to go down, we desire to be cut accordingly, but we wish to be treated
‘las any other part of America or
Americans are treated.”
Our Town : ur own By ANTON SCHERRER I HAVE put it off as long as possible, but duty finally compels me to fasten the
blame on James. Blake. Maybe it was a conspiracy involving Dr. Coe, too, but even so,
| all signs point to Mr. Blake as the man
largely responsible for starting a Sunday School in Indianapolis. The first meeting was held in Caleb Scudder’s cabinet shop on the south side of the State House Square, Caleb always maintained that he had nothing to, do with it beyond loaning his shop for the purpose, and I guess we ought to take his word for it. Which, of course, brings us right back to Mr. Blake again. | The Sunday School got off to a pretty good start. At any rate, the class mustered 70 pupils by the time the third Sunday rolled around. To be sure, the third Sunrainy day and worthless for anything else but even so, let's give credit where credit is due. When the weather became bad that fall, Sunday School was suspended till’ the next spring. It was revived a year after its formation in April, 1824. The First Presbyterian Church, a frame building at the northwest corner of Pennsylvania and Market Sts., was ready by that time, and Mr. Scudder had it all figured out that it was big enough to house the Sunday School. Goodness knows it should have been, It took 183 months to build and entailed a cost of $1200 if you count in .the cost of the site. The Sunday School was never suspended afte

” on ” Led Sunday School Parade
M*~ BLAKE'S starting of the first Sunday School gave him another outlet for his extraordinary powers, because for the next 30 years he led the long parade of beautifully-starched Sunday School children which always started the Fourth of July cele-
brations afound here. This wasn’t anything out of the
ordinary because Mr. Blake was the accepted marshal of every parade in Indianapolis up to the time of his death. ? :
After Mr. Biake’s death, Indianapolis was hard put .
to find another marshal as good as Mr. Blake, Indeed, the .problem might never have been solved had not somebody remembered that Gen. Carnahan made it a practice to be near the front in all parades headed by Mr. Blake. Sure enough, when the time came, Gen, Carnahan fell heir to Mr. Blake's job.
2 un 2 Sat on White Horse Best EN. CARNAHAN was a full-bearded, picturesque figure who knew how to sit on a white horse better than anybody else around here. Indeed, he did it so well that even to this day I have difficulty dissociating a white horse and Gen. Carnahan. It must have impressed other boys, too, because I remember one precocious kid who was carried away by his first sight of the General on his white charger that he asked his mother whether it was Sir Galahad. After Gen. Carnahan’s death, Capt. Jacob Bieler headed our parades. He was pretty good, too, even if he didn’t always have a white horse. For some reason, Indianapolis never had a regular parade marshal after Capt. Bieler’s death. It didn’t have a decent parade after that, either.
A Woman's View
By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
N Akron I met a man who was bitter over woman's invasion of the industrial world. Something more than bitterness was in his voice and face. He was hurt, too. It was as if his preconceived ideal of woman, the great mother, had been thrown down as the statue of a goddess might lie in the dust after some great destructive power had moved over the earth. A great destructive power has moved over this earth—the power of industrial revolution. And it is still moving. : In its wake many sacred idols have been cast from their pedestals. The immemorial figure of the dependent wife and mother is one of them. And where it stood we now see a new creature, an inde pendent, capable and often self-contained person. Yet it would be unjust to her, I believe, if we did not point out that man himself, that is to say the masculine force which out of nothingness conjured big business, machinery and massed power of money, is responsible for the change. For it is this force more than all else that has wrought the destruction of its ideal—if it was an ideal. Woman herself could not have done it although she would not have been human if she had not obeyed the law of change and longed to try her luck as she stood upon the threshold of the new world which was a marvelous place of machines, of intensified activity and of pounding, restless feet. : * Something even more powerful urged her on. She had to follow her job. And that job, the things that had kept her busy and absorbed from morning until night, had been taken from her. Men, bursting with the desire to find new means for making money quickly in large quantities, had invaded her domestic world even as she now invades their industrial one, First they took her dairying, then the laundry, then the sewing and next the canning and preserving, In short, woman was no longer a producer, except of babies, and these she could not always feed. This industrial revolution was inevitable, perhaps, but even its chief exponents are beginning to see that when money has become lord and master it exacts a dreadful price from its servants, and that progress cannot always be honestly. measured in terms of gold and power and speed.

E we remember that the mucous membranes of the breathing tract are continuous, beginning with those of the nose and throat and running down into the lungs, we understand why it is possible for infections to begin in any part of this tract and then extend to other parts. As has already been mentioned in the discussion of pneumonia, infections of these mucous membranes seem to damage them to such an extent that thereafter they appear to be more liable to addi: tional infections. Cold and chill, a lack of vitamins and minerals in the diet, overwork, and excess in the use of al= cohol and towacco all seem to weaken resistance of the mucous membranes in the throat and lungs. Doctors usually classify bronchitis according to the parts of the lungs that are involved and to the nature of the infections. Acuie bronchitis is fairly common in old people and in children, particularly in the latter in connection with specific infections such as measles, whooping cough, and scarlet fever, Not infrequently, as has already been mentioned, a common cold that begins with a disturbance of the nose may extend to the throat and eventually to the lungs. § The bronchitis victim usually is slightly sick, somewhat hoarse, often short of breath, and subject to coughing spells. At first the cough is often hard, dry, and painful, but later it tends to loosen up. If a person with such a cough .and inflammation
of the bronchial tubes is immediately put to bed in °
a roem that is well ventilated but not cold, he pene fits promptly. : 5 In his treatment the doctor preseribes sedative remedies that will help the patient rest at night, and also drugs that are valuable in the treatment of various kinds of coughs. At the same time the action of the bowels is regulated. The patient should take plenty of hot liquids, such as tea and citrus fruit drinks. As he improves, his diet is supplemented with nourishing milk prepae
