Indians in Andes Valley on Top Of World Till Soil as Forebears ""\ Did Before Arrival of White Men.

QUITO, Ecuador, Nov. 2.—Early in the afternoon the autobus on rails that has brought you into the Andes Mountains stops at (Cajabamba. There we all pile out, and our baggage is transferred to automobiles. We have come 125 miles on rails. It is still 175 miles, by auto, to Quito, True, the railroad runs clear through. But once on y 1p of the Andes, you are in an immense Lng valley, and it is faster to go by car. The auto part is included in your ticket. We were loaded into a sedan— seven of us, with baggage stacked so tightly around that you couldn’t move. And then began the last half of the long journey to Quito. There are two very strange things about this valley on top of the world. One is that there are autos, and paved roads, and big cities up here. And the other is that, right alongside, for hundreds of miles, you have the vast rate of South American Indians, living about the a or did for centuries before Columbus. I thought there was nothing in the Andes but

My Diary

By Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt

Lambeth Walk Demonstrated, but First Lady Doubts She'll Ever Try It.

J) j N= YORK, ‘Tuesday.—I flew up from Washing-

ton yesterday afternoon and spent a little time trying on clothes far the winter season. The season still seems very far away but I realize that before I know it, it will soon be upon me. In the evening, just as I was sitting down .to a pile of mail, a young girl friend of mine dashed in

Fa with a handkerchief on which was depicted every step

of the “Lambeth Walk.” It was really amusingly done and led at once to a great show of ‘energy on the part of two of the people present. They wanted to show me how to dance it, so that I had quite a good lesson in these new steps which I shall probably never try. This morning I visited an American toy factory. This is a more or less new industry in this country and I was particularly interested in seeing under what conditions toys are produced. The manufacturer pointed out to me that it is important to have healthy

“people work on toys.

I was shown a number of new ideas. For instance, some of the furry animals can be washed and a new material has been developed out of which babies’ toys are made. They can be licked and scrubbed, for they are entirely waterproof. This adds to the life of babies’ toys. I saw all tire processes for making stuffed dolls and animals and was fascinated by their eyes which moved. When I was a child, all eyes were buttons which stayed put. One machine, which brushes the lint off toys, I thought might create a hazard to the worker. It

' seemed to me that the little particles of the material

might affect the nose, throat and lungs if breathed in.

‘When I asked the workers if they found it better to

wear masks, they told me nobody worked on that machine for a long time.

A Paradise for Children

"It is, of course, far safer to have vs made in factory under healthful conditions, than to a them made in the homes, as they were often made in the past and still are occasionally. Finally, I went up to the toy building where many of the merchants have their showrooms, and could tiot help thinking what a paradise it would be for children. Dolls of every description—“Shirley Tem-

. ple,” “Snow White,” “The Seven Dwarfs,” etc.—and ‘games and puzzles of every kind. But I think two

of the most fascinating things I saw were in the first factory. They were “Ferdinand the Bull” with young “Ferdinand” beside him. They must delight ny reader of the book. In addition, “The Three Bears” are a joy. I know no child who does not cherish that story from the earliest days on to ma-

DR. WILLIAM H.

LARRABEE " Democrat, for 11th District Congressman

(Born on a farm in “Montgomery County, Feb. 21, 1870; educated in public schools, Indiana State Teachers College at Terre Haute, Central Normal College at Danville, and the Indiana University School of Medicine; taught school for six years before entering the practice of medicine; has been a practicing physician in New Palestine for many years; elected to the Indiana Legislature in 1923; elected to Congress first in 1930; member of the Christian Church, Hancock County, State and American Medical Associations, Masons, Knights of Pythias, Red Men, Odd Fellows, Eagles, Indiana Democratic Club, and Greenfield Country Club.)

INCE March 4, 1933, we have had a government of the people, by the people and for the people—a government devoted to the interests and welfare of all citizens. The present Administration, as most people realize, has been devoted to the task of restoring sound constitutional government.

The leaders and officials of the Administration, and by “Administation” I mean Federal, State and local units of our government, have labored long, diligently and efficiently to bring order out of chaos, to eliminate suffering and to restore again to all people an opportunity to live as citizens of this nation desire to live. In the face of growing opposition from selfish interests and minority groups who grew fat, powerful and oppressive in their attitude towards their fellow men under the old system of government, devoted primarily to the,interests of a select few, this Administration: has made remarkable progress. Industry and" Business, which had fallen victims of an archaic system that dried up the flow of credit and diminished buying power, were paralyzed. Commerce, it followed naturally, was stagnated. Factories were closed, banks were failing, hungry people walked the streets begging for food. Hope for employment no longer existed. Ordinary sources of relief were quickly pumped dry. The morale of the people of this nation was at its lowest point in all history. These briefly were the conditions the present Administration found in March, 1933. Immediate constructive action on the part of our national leadership, aided by state and local officials, saved those banks that had not yet closed, extended to the hungry and the cold food and shelter and then set about to remove the economic decay that was fast consuming the entire nation. The people everywhere have seen and felt the benefits of constructive legislation and sympathetic action. It is not necessary to point out individual laws or acts of officials which have caused the improvement so apparent in every locality. If the people will consider their own conditions today, as compared with their own conditions in January and February, 1933, they must admit that they are far better off now under Democratic leadership and administration than under the previous administration which is asking the electorate to forget 1932 and return it to power. The - question confronting the voters is simply the question of whether or not they want to return to the type of government and public leadersnip that swept

our country into the most destructive panic in all history, under leadership of officials who had no sympathy then for the people, and who give no promise of having any change of heart; or whether the people wish this Administration to continue its constructive program of restoring economiq security to all the people and to extending social secur=ity throughout the and. Personally I took my stand with ‘the forces of progress on March 4, 1933. I have found no cause to regret my action. I shall continue to labor along these liberal lines in the interest of national progress and security. This is my pledge and on this and my past. record of public service, I am seeking re-election. 2 ” ”

I will vote to re-establish protection for the American farmer against merciless competition of low cost foreign farm products. I shall favor an amendment to the Wagner Labor Act in the interest of fairness to both employer and employee. I stand and shall always stand for the right of free collective bargaining and the right of labor to organize as it chooses. I shall oppose any reorganization hill such as was presented to the last Congress. Further, I believe that Congress ‘must regain and retain powers delegated to the various bureaus and commissions, by the New Deal. I shall oppose any plan designed to tamper with

I shall favor legislation to restore all cuts made by “the Economy Act” of 1933 and I shall also favor humane consideration for widows and orphans of deceased veterans. ‘ I shall oppose any legislation that would tend to involve the United States in foreign entanglements and Old World affairs. I shall always be opposed to any aggressive or offensive war. I am opposed to the free trade policy operated under the reciprocal trade treaties, because it permits the invasion of cheap foreign products in competition to the American farmer, laborer and merchant. I shall favor the adjustment of immigration from time to time, to meet existing domestic conditions. I shall also favor and demand deportation of the thousands of radical aliens now in our land. I believe a Congressman should vote according to the dictates of his conscience, keeping in mind the welfare of the nation and the desires of the people.

Rumania and Yugoslavia May Be Bigger Losers Than

Czechs if Parley Approves All Hungarian Claims

By William Philip Simms

Times Foreign Editor ASHINGTON, Nov. 2. — The judgment of Solomon was a simple, routine job compared with the task faced by Germany and

Italy as their representatives met at |«

Vienna today to do justice to the territorial and minofity claims of Hungary. A foreign office spokesman at Berlin has indicated that the whole problem created by the Treaty of ‘Trianon is to be discussed, not merely what is to be done with the Hungarians now living in Czechoslovakia. , If that is true, Rumania and Yugoslavia stand to lose even more than Czechoslovakia. For they benefited by the post-war setilement to a much greater extent than the little republic of Masaryk and Benes. Nor is it entirely without irony that the Nazi-Fascist powers will] invoke the principles of the late Woodrow Wilson when they come to “rectify the injustices” done to Hungary in the name of democracy at the close of the world conflict. Article 10 of President Wilson's historic “14 points” promised “the peoples of Austria-Hungary, whose place among the nations we wish to see safeguarded and assured, the “freest opportunity of autonomous development.” Article two of his “four principles,” enunciated in an address to Congress, stipulated that “peoples and provinces are not to be battered about from sovereignty to sovereignty as if they were chattels or pawns in a game.” On the contrary, he said, in article three: “Every territorial settlement involved in this war must be made in

the interest and for the benefit of the peoples concerned, and not as a part of any mere adjustment or compromise of claims among rival states.” And the fourth and. crowning article of the “principles” stated that ‘all well-defined national aspirations shall be accorded the utmost satisfaction that can be accorded without introducing new, or perpetuating old, elements of discord and antagonisms that would likely, in time, break the peace of Europe and consequently of the world.” The treaties of Versailles, Tri-

anon, St. Germain => Neuilly, which terminated the war, ignored both the 14 points and the four principles almost in toto. And of all the defeated powers, Hungary was treated the worst.

Drug Addiction Is Greater Peril to Young, Doctor Says

By Science Service ASHINGTON, Nov. 2. os Qrug addiction is “a greater potential danger” to youthful persons than to ‘older individuals, Dr. Michael J.

Pescor of the U. S. Public Health

Service has concluded from a study of 1036 patients admitted for treatment of narcotic drug addiction to the Federal Health Service’s hospital at Lexington, Ky. Hope of prevention, Dr. Pescor suggests, depends on discovering factors very early in the patient’s life which influenced him toward addiction long before he thought of using drugs. The average age of beginning addiction was 27.53 years, about four years younger than previous studies indicated. Among reasons for the tendency to start using drugs at earlier ages Dr. Pescor suggests the increasing sophistication of the

younger ' generation; economic unrest and lack of occupational opportunity with its attendant discour-

agement; better organization of drug dealers; and even antidrug addiction propaganda itself. The widespread popular belief that drug addiction is conducive to violent criminal acts is “thoroughly discredited” by Dr. Pescor’s study. Heroin owes its reputation as a crime producer, he says, to accident. It was introduced. to the underworld addicts in New York shortly before passage of the new|d narcotic laws which forced these addicts on the public attention. But in New York City, the center of heroin addiction, the

minorities, some 6.000.000 of which were taken from her by the Treaty of Trianon, but along: with these she lost more than 3,000,000 pure Hungarians. Approximately 800,000 of these were in the territory turned over to Czechoslovakia. A million and a half were given to Rumania, while Yugoslavia and even Austria were presented with very generous slices. That article four of Wilson's four principles went unheeded is now only too obvious. Wilson insisted that the post-war settlements be made so as not to “introduce new, or perpetuate old . . . antagonisms which . . . in time . .. would likely break the peace of Europe.” Yet the September war scare and what is happening now is largely traceable to violations of that dictum. Today approximately 3,500,000 Magyars are living beyond Hungary’s clipped frontiers. That she survived her dismemberment at all is something of a miracle. And it speaks well for the quality of her statesmen. She has managed to preserve a greater degree of démocracy than most of her better sit uated neighbors. Since Munich, her extremists have tried to force her to follow the Nazi lead in dealing with the Czechs, but even there her more moderate elements thus far have had their way. What happens at Vienna in the days immediately ahead will likely decide Hungary's future for some time to come. Yet how Germany and Italy can restore her Magyar minorities in Rumania and Yugoslavia as well as in Czechoslovakia at this juncture is difficult to see. For while they would like to placate Hungary, neither wishes to estrange the other two countries.

to a title and a great fortune (1,000,000 pounds sterling), left his country sometime around 1854. The ship he ‘was supposed to be on sank at sea and everybody, except his mother, believed he went down with it. His mother, a Frenchwoman and a very determined little lady, didn’t believe it and insisted that: her son was still alive. She was sO sure of it that 12 years later when her husband died, she advertised py, Scherrer all over the world for “the lost heir of Tichborne.” Well, that brought forth Arthur Ore ton, an enormously fat butcher who came all the w hay. ; from Australia to claim the .title and, incidental the 50,000 pounds a year that went with it. caused a division in the family, one side lining up bes hind the mother who really “believed her son had returned, and: the other side led by the parents cf Roger Tichborne’s little nephew who, in the absence of Roger, was of course the heir-apparent. The fam= { ily rumpus led to a great trial, one of the most celebrated England ever had, with the result that butcher Orton got 14 years in prison for his pains. Before the trial was over, however, certain things came to light. It turned out, for instance, that the real Roger spoke French like a native; that the impostor couldn’t speak a word. Moreover, the real Roger was a devout Roman Catholic; the false Roger ‘wasn’t anything of the kind. The true Roger had studied the classics; the fa knew nothing of them and thought that Caesar w: a Greek. And finally the record revealed that thi actual Roger was tattooed with an anchor, a heart and a cross. The best the butcher could show in that line were his initials A. O., which he had tried to erase.

Well, that brings us to George Wilson, a citizen of Indianapolis in the Eighties. Mr. Wilson left England in 1854 because his mother, a very determined little lady, insisted on his marrying a woman he didn't | love.

I remember one incident where my girl ‘friend told me of a woman’s dying because she had a nightmare and for many nights afterward I was afraid to go to sleep.. My friends tell me things because they know it frightens me and then they laugh at me. I know it is silly but I can’t seem to help it. I'm 18 years old and I am a little old for such foolishness, but I can’t get away from my fears. I haven't any job and that gives me more time to worry. I worry all the time and I'm so nervous over it all. Please can’t you give me some advice as to how to get away from these Inaginary fearsof mine before I become a nervous wreck IMAGINATION SUE. . 8 0» Answer—You yourself iy ‘given one cause for your trouble when you say you have no job. Your energies have no outlet and so are turned back on yourself. The first thing to do is to find so are occupa= tion to take up your time. A job might not effect complete cure, but it would help. It isn't possible to help you much in an answer to a letter. Doubtless your physical fears are fied up with some other more deeply seated fear which you have pushed back since childhood. If this could be discovered and thoroughly ‘aired, - your false fears might die down. Psychologists call these fake aches and Pas the “organ recital.” The theory is that when fears are sternly repressed because they're too unpleasant fo face they escape in disguised form. Often they are translated into bodily symptoms. The unconscious reasoning goes. something like this, “If I am wretch enough to roe that harm may come to others, then the chances are that others wish that harm come to me and it is no more than I de serve at that!” Not that the person afflicted is able to reason it out without help; he isn't. His repressed feelings are acted out by the fear that he will 1all ill of a fatal disease or die in his sleep and thus get what he conceives to be his just deserts I've given you only one example, but there are many similar circumstances which account for ‘the wish to fall ill. ‘An illness may Sopresent a punishe ment or a flight from the necessity of facing reality, As a rule such useless fears can be controlled by lead ing a busy and useful life which increases the selfs esteem and lessens the load of guilt.
