PANAMA CITY, Republic of Panama, Jan, 25.—

_ There is no auto highway across the Isthmus of

Panama, but there are four trains and two planes each ; yay every day. It is about 45 miles from Cristobal

Panama City, the train takes an hour and 25 min-.

utes, and the fare is $2.40 one way. Canal workers ride for half fare. The three trains during the day are ordinary trains, just like trains at home, with light cane seats.

But the night train, which is a sort of pickup for those who couldn’t get off earlier or tarried for one more drink, is different. It is called “The Scooter,” and is a swell, maroon, streamBs SS . lined, two-car “ ihe smooth-riding qualities of our streamliners at ome. I came across the Isthmus last night on “The Scooter.” We left at 10 p. m. and got her at 11:25, The train was full of soldiers and sailors and Panamanian women with babies. In the daytime you get a fine view of the canal and locks from the train, but of course at night you can’t see anything.

The Panama Railroad, to my utter amazement,

is 85 years old. It was built because of the 49 gold rush >

The railroad was finished in 1855 and has been operating ever since. That was long before they knew anything about disease and sanitation in Panama, and they say every 50 ties represent a life lost. The auto roads which lead out from either side of the Isthmus, from Colon and Panama, cover a good part of the distance across the Isthmus, and it is probable that Wwithim a few years there will be a

highway clear across. =: 2 2 =

Pacific Side Livelier

: Most people like this Pacific side the best. There . -are more people here, and more things doing. Colon ‘has one big open-air beer garden; Panama has three. Down here, ‘incidentally, when you say “Panama” you mean “Panama City,” not the republic. Panama City and Ancon and Balboa and Balboa

MORE MEMORABILIA for the book. Item 1: In his “Autobiography,” published last year, William Lyon Phelps tells about the first class (1896) he taught at Yale. “After I had been teaching a few weeks,” he says, “there wa§ a meeting of the Freshman Faculty, most of whom were much older than I. I was informed that my marks were too high. To which I replied that the Faculty were at ‘liberty to make a horizontal reduction if they wished, but that this

Freshman: class was very remarkable and I believed they had earned those grades. The older men naturally were amused and wished to know how I could pronounce the class to be remarkable, when it was the first class I had taught. I told them I was sure of the fact.” It turns out that Prof. Phelps was right as rain. To prove it, he catalogs the names of some 30 pupils of the amazing class, every one of whom went to the top of the ladder. Very tactfully as becomes a Yale man, Prof. Phelps lists the names in alphabetical order, which, in the nature of things, brings that of Christopher Coleman, like that of Abou Ben Adhem, to the top of the list. Sure, the same . Dr. Coleman who runs our State Library.

Hoosier Bought Millet's Home

Item 2: School 10, the one at 13th and Carrolton Ave., has a picture painted by Frank Edwin Scott. Back in. 1885, Mr. Scott did a surprising thing. He went to France and bought the old house of Jean Francois Millet, the artist who painted the famous “Angelus.” - Scott left Indianapolis in 1881 to study at the Art Students’ League in New York. He was 16 at the time and had been a protege of John Love who

KANSAS CITY, .Mo., Jan. 25.—Although there is obvious opposition to and considerable prejudice against the Hull reciprocal program in the Western farm states, especially the cattle country, Republicans are hesitant in many cases about making this a political issue. : The Republican Party is divided on the subject even out here. Some of the Presidential candidates are extremely worried as to what stand they should take and are pondering conflicting advice.

A well-known Democrat in this area, Rep. Harry Coffee, a Western Nebraska cattleman, is fighting the Hull program. As a leading Western stockman, Rep. Coffee racently spoke before the American National Live Stock “Association at Denver and predicted the House would approve an amendment which would require Senate ratification of the Hull trade agreements. That is the method by which it is sought to kill * the program, for opponents of it know that if they can force into the legislation a provision requiring the Senate to ratify, no agreements will be approved. 8 » sn

A Revealing Quotation

+ Such a normally outspoken Senator as Taft of Ohio has been slow to declare himself. You don’t hear former Governor Landon of Xansas saying any-: thing about the Hull program. He denounced it when a candidate for President in 1936. But Mr. Landon has learned a great deal since then. and while he has not indorsed the Hull program he recognizes some higher considerations that appear to be restraining him from repeating his 1936 political criticisms. Col. Knox, his old ticket-mate, is in Hull's corner,

WASHINGTON, Wednesday.—There are so many things being done for the Finnish Relief Fund these days that, sympathetic as I am to their cause, I still feel that we should not forget the innumerable other people throughout the world who are also suffering. I realize that another element besides relief for civilians enters into the help that is given Finland, buf even from that point of view, we must not forget other nations which are in need, or which still have a chance to strike a blow for their own freedom. I wish that the requests and letters that I get telling me of various activities for the Finns could be duplicated by requests and letters about things being done for other countries. That is why I have wanted a co-ordination of all this relief work, so there would be a balance in the distribution > funds, no duplication of work and no unnecessary pverhead. However, I am glad to tell you of every pffort which is being made to help the oppressed or she suffering. I have just heard that there is an exhibition going dn at the Gotham Hotel branch of the Grand Central Art Galleries, 55th St. and Fifth Ave., New York city, which is open daily from 9:30 a. m. to 5;30 p. m.

Heights all rud together. But Panama is in the republic, and it’s obviously a Latin city; the others are beautiful, without commerce, and obviously Gov-ernment-built cities. The main headquarters for the. whole Panama Canal administration are on this side. Tourists and business visitors all stay at the Tivoli Hotel, a big old Mammy-style tropical mansion owned by the Government, where they soak you $6 a day for a single room. This side of the Isthmus is even more tropical than the Cristobal side. They say it rains about twice as

much, and the vegetation seems even denser and|

more deeply green. ; Here, as on the other side, you get around in big old touring cars with Negro drivers. They all speak English, they have a set price, and unless you have greenhorn sticking out of your ears they don’t overcharge you. . 2 ”

A Cosmopolitan Cit

There are two good daily newspapers on the Isthmus—the Panama American and the Star & Herald. Both carry as much world news as you could want, and ‘the usual syndicated comics and columns from the States.

They run about 16 pages a day. The first eight pages are in English. Then you turn the paper over, and upside down, and there you have an eight-page paper in Spanish. Both papers are published on the Pacific side. Panama is thoroughly cosmopolitan, and I suspect you'd find every nationality of the globe here. Some of the stores dealing in expensive goods for tourists are magnificent. There are already. several hundred Hitler refugees settled in Panama. They have sprung up all over with restaurants and shops. About the best food you get in Colon is at a place started within the past year by Austrian refugees. Most of them, of course, are genuine, pathetic outcasts from ‘their native lands. But the Americans here suspect that some of them are spies, just posing as Hitler-hating refugees. Panama, among other things, is baseball crazy. They have a professional league of four teams. They also have horse races, cock fights, casino gambling and a weekly national lottery.

started the first art school in Indianapolis. After Mr. Love's death, Scott sent a drawing to the New York Academy of Design as a sample of his work. He held his thumbs all the time it was in transit. It was rejected. A little later, he sent the same

drawing to the Art Students’ League and this time

it was accepted. Scott spent a year or more in New York and then went to Paris. He was determined to enter the Ecole des Beaux Arts. He made it, too. After two years he came back and became a teacher in. the Art Students’ League. For some reason, though, he didn’t like it. He stayed two years, however. After which he hurried back to France, acquired the Millet house and, for all I know, lived happily ever after.

‘Bald Headed Glee Club’

Item 3: It turns out, too, that the old Bald Headed Glee Club of Indianapolis, the one that won more victories for the Republican Party than all the orators put together, went without a name until 16 years after it was organized. Seems that the club was labeled sometime around the turn of the century when it sang at a soldiers’ reunion at Memorial Presbyterian Church. Just before the start of the concert somebody connected with the affair approached Mr. M. D. Butler, one of the choristers, and asked him how to introduce the boys. And right off the bat, Mr. Butler said: “Call us the Bald Headed Glee Club.” The name stuck. After that, of course, the club had to live up to its namesand do a lot of explaining. “It was sitting in damp places so much when we were boys that made us bald so early,” said Bill Tarkington who had more than a local reputation as a wag. Item 4: Maybe you don’t know it, but it wasn’t so long ago that everybody who went in for pictorial photography around here had an ambition to shoot a nude. It isn’t as bad as it used to be. Indeed, the Indianapolis Camera Club had a show lately without a single nude in it. When Stanley Brooks saw it, he said, “No nudes is good nudes.”

By Raymond Clapper

There is a good deal of myth about the supposition that Middle-Westerners are conscious of nothing beyond their own neighborhoods. Secretary Hull wishes they were not so acutely conscious now of Argentine beef and Chilean copper. Here is. a revealing quotation: “Whatever happens all over this earth has an influence here. If rains are short in Australia, not so many of our harvesting machines will be wanted. If times are bad in Russia, they cannot buy so much of our machine tools. If the German grass crop is good, they want our mowers and rakes. If the price of grain goes down, our drills are not wanted so much. But when wheat goes to $1 a bushel, we all rejoice and flourish.” The quotation is from a speech delivered in 1901, almost 40 years ago, at the 100th anniversary of the founding of Springfield, O. There, in the heart of the Middle West, a decade before the World War, local businessmen were, thinking in terms of the economic interdependence of the nations. 2 8.8 8

The People Are Thinking

The Hull program is the kind of thing that is easily manhandled by demagogic appeals. You can talk about agricultural imports and quote figures— and the “agricultural imports” represented by the figures may be largely rubber and coffee. Republicans in 1936 gathered up a few hams imported from Poland and had people in Chicago thinking that America was eating more Polish than American hams. Thinking people in the Middle West see these matters in about the same light as bankers and businessmen in the East. I saw a Cleveland Women’s Club indorse the Hull program. The Middlewestern politician tends to lag behind his more intelligent constituents because it is so much easier to fan up the prejudice against the foreigner and against foreign goods and ride into offiice on that.

and on Sundays from 2 p. m. to 6 p. m. One hundred and sixty top-ranking American artists have contributed paintings and water colors and there is an additional interest in the fact that blind auctions are held at intervals so that some of the paintings may be bought during the exhibition. I want also to tell you of a letter which I have just received and which is, of course, the product of someone’s sense of humor, plus possibly a little too much idle time! From Los Angeles the letter comes purporting to be from a young Communist organization, which informs me that they are naming their branch for me and which gives me undeserved praise for doing things which I have not done! I appreciate the joke, but since my coprespondent gave me no address, I must use this way of telling him that this

is perhaps too serious a matter for joking. They

cannot use names without permission and, in addition, I am now and always will be opposed to the Communist form of government. I uphold the right of those who believe in it to express their own ideas, and I know that the theory of- communism may be of help in certain instances, but we, in this country, are beyond that stage. We are interested in a true democracy and we work for the ultimate development of a way of life in our country which will make it possible for every individual to fulfill his responsibility as a citizen in a democracy. : »

Forging Weapons For ‘Total War’

(The “most terrible trial of arms in history” may be ‘only a few weeks away”

+ + « So writes Thomas M. Johnson, the noted military expert for NEA Service and The Indianapolis Times, in the first of three articles which tell of (1): Eurepe’s mad race to mold men and weapons into shape for a “total war”; (2) where the

dread lightning may strike next spring;

HE struggle between the Nazis and the Allies now crackles with electricity of drama—suspense. The war today may not be flashing and crashing in full power at the front, but behind the front it is being waged with an intensity that makes this period unique

in interest and import. Virtually the whole populations of the greatest military, naval and air powers in the world are working night and day, with fierce . fury or clutching dread, building up toward crisis—the most terrible trial of arms in history. Meanwhile—to prepare for, to limit, or to profit from that trial’s outcome—the diplomats scurry and whisper in corners. The world’s backstairs never were so crowded—nor so slippery.

“Only a few weeks more”—the portent from sources official and unofficial is the same. What we see today above ground is simply the War God Mars trying out new weapons that down below his milions of Vulcans are forging.

The Germans are well equipped .

for land warfare and need mostly weapons of sea and air—magnetic mines, submarines, land planes and seaplanes. The British, hastily training and arming improvised armies, need everything —but| notably anti-tank guns and anti-aircraft equipment. Both sides need new planes.

” ” » R the time the Franco-British forces will use these weapons

mostly in defense. i] Germany’s tentative thrusts of

recent weeks may indicate the

manner in which she will use her full might in the future. Her magnetic mines that tied up the Port of London probably were experimental forerunners of many more. Her first wave of submarines, now rolled back, will be followed by other waves of submarines dashing not just against a single ship but against hitherto

impregnable convoys. With them will dash more and more of the airplanes that now are busy learning the new art of attacking all kinds of shipping, even fishermen and lightships. And not forever will targets larger, and more human, escape. The mass air attacks the world

has dreaded are being prepared

in the buzzing airplane factories of both sides. . But in this tense period they

are making fewer bombers than

fast, agile fighters. For without the aid of fighting planes on long raids, the slower, heavier bombers have looked like the Red Army fighting the Finns. Most fighters until now have lacked the endurance to serve as escorts. To produce a new type of fighter, both sides are high-pressuring — the Germans on the new Messerschmitts and Junkers; the British on equally new Spitfires. Watch the coming Americanmade “bomber convoys,” for they —and American planes generally —may prove decisive. Washington news is that Britain alone wants more than 12,000

It is this: What will the total air war, unrestrained, mean to Western Europe? What it will mean even in a military and naval sense, no one yet knows. Differences over its strategy helped cause Hore-Belisha’s resignation as Secretary of State for War. But soon we shall know. For the Germans will attack Britain with mines and submarines and, above all, with airplanes—of which they have now probably 15 thousand. They will attack not: only British warships but especially the commerce that, is England's very life—and not only merchant ves-

sels but the ports that already they have photographed. Factory towns? London? Paris? France? Why not? For this " massed air attack will usher in the real total war, which means the use without stint or limit of every possible means to crush resistance of ‘enemy nations; not fighting men alone, but civilians, women and children. ] In this total war Hitler will have staked his all to win against the counter-attack of the Allies, and of their super-ally, General Time,

NEW CHURCHES LEAN TO COLOR

Adds to Inspirational Qualities of Sanctuaries, Disciples Told.

An increasing use of color In churches is adding to the inspiratinal quality of the sanctuaries, according to A. F. Wickes, Indianap-

olis architect. In a report yesterday to the Disciples of Christ Board of Church Extension, to which he is advisory architect, Mr. Wickes said that the trend in that denomination’s churches is toward a revival of the Gothic style, toward rectangular places of worship and the use of more decorative color. The board held its annual meeting yesterday in the Hotel Severin.

Interiors Rectangular

In the new churches the interior has been built rectangularly with a chancel separating the congregation and the minister. : According to the report, the communion table and the baptistery have been centrally located inside the chancel, the choir has been subordinated and the organ is not seen. A report made by Dr. John H. Booth, Board executive secretary, showed that during 1939 there were 47 new Disciples of Christ Churches built in the United States and Canada through aid of the Board. The Board lent $360,000, thus “creating or helping to save from mortgage foreclosure more than two million dollars worth of property.”

Scott Heads Board

Oreon E. Scott of St. Louis was re-elected Board president for the 11th year. Other officers are Ephraim D. Lowe, Olive Branch Christian Church pastor, Indianapolis, vice president; Dr. Booth, re-elected executive secretary for the 30th vear; Dr. A. Reid Liverett of Indianapolis, re-elected secretary for the 13th year; William T. Pearcy of Indianapolis, re-elected treasurer for the ninth year, and Jess E. Martin, Indianapolis attorney, re-elected Board attorney for the 11th year.

FARM MORTGAGE PAYMENTS EASED

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25 (U. P.).

—Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace announced plans today to ease . mortgage-debt payments of 75,000 farmers who have obtained Land Bank commissioner loans. The announcement disclosed an acceleration of the Farm Credit Administration policy of the debt loan on farm borrowers by reamortizing loans over longer periods in order to reduce annual principal payments. :

10-Year-Olds To Have Clubs

Farm boys and girls under 10 years of age are being organized into township Pet and Hobby Clubs by the Indiana Farm Bureau. The clubs are to give boys and girls under the 4-H Club age opportunity to learn organization:

.and to engage in a unified program of interest, according to Edmond C. Foust, editor of the Hoosier Farmer, bureau publication. A pet parade and hobby exhibit will be held for the young

club members at the annual:

county Farm Bureau picnics next summer, with a few of the winners becoming eligible to compete: at the State Fair next September, Present plans call for the enrollment of 10,000 members in the Pet and Hobby Clubs before the State Fair next fall.

STATE GAS, OIL

YIELD DOUBLED

375 Wells Drilled in 1939;

Pocket Center of Most Activity.

Oil and gas production in Indiana doubled during 1939, Virgil M. Simmons, State Conservation Commissioner, reported today. Three hundred seventy-five wells were completed during the year, more than double the 1938 figure of 159 completed well, which in turn was above the 1937 total.

Pocket Most Active

‘The major part of the 1939 drilling was in southwestern Indiana, roughly in the corner of the state southwest of a line drawn from Terre Haute to Jeffersonville. One hundred ten wells, nearly a third: of the number completed within the state, were located in Posey and Gibson counties where Griffin and New Harmony fields are the center of drilling interest. Of the completed wells, 175 were producing oil and 43 were producing gas. One hundred fifty-seven were non-producers, : Mr. Simmons reported. ; Leasing of Land Gains

The last year was marked by extensive leasing and by a revival of drilling activity in parts of the state where wells had been active producers in the past. _ Conservation Department officials estimated that gas and oil produced in Indiana last year exceeded $3,000,000 ih valuation, as compared to the $1,300,000 estimate placed on the 1938 production.

An Old Eudoxus Custom, This Bock Beer Burping

When you take that first drink of foaming bock beer sometime after 6 a. m. on March 2, and Spring once more begins to course through

your veins, membered to

pay a silent tribute to Eudoxus, a wise old Greek, who regrab a recipe for beer on a visit to Egypt about 400 B. C.

That's the advice of the Indiana Brewers’ Association whose members already are ready for bock beer‘week. The State Alcoholic Beverage

Commission, at the request of the brewers, has. fixed March 2 as the date for starting bock beer sales because the favorite day, St. Patrick’s Day, falls on a Sunday this year. Bock beer is made from a special brown barley malt. It is dark in color in contrast to the light color of regular beer and has a “heavy” taste. Brewers make the beer for sale during a couple of weeks of March in following the old custom that bock beer signalizes the coming of spring, according to Harold

C. Feightner, executive secretary of

the Indiana Brewers’ Association. This is the second year the state Alcoholic Beverage Commission has fixed an official date for the sale of the beer. Eudoxus, a scholar and a mathematician, legend records, became a great favorite among “the boys” of

Athens because of his recipe: for

beer. : id “They decided to do away with the Egyptian custom of making the honorable pig a symbol of beer and instituted in its place,’ Dionysus, god of vegetation, who was often de-

pic

ted as a goat. That is the.rea-

son ‘bock beer advertisements March 2 will show a goat's head.. Then, with the goat as the symbol, the taste for beer spread all over Europe, carried by the conquering legions of Rome. Many different legends grew up about it in the various countries. The spirit of the goat god was supposed to dwell in the barn all winter and come out again in the spring in time for harvest. It became the general custom to take the last, or goat sheaves, and from them brew the beer which was to be saved over until the time of planting. After seed was planted in the spring some of the beer was poured on the ground and the rest was drunk by the sowers so that a fine harvest would ensue. So when you ‘lift your glass of

foaming bock beer you are really|

1784 Doctors Ached to Solve Riddle of Throbbing Teeth

Used Brandy to Tame Nightmares, But Treatment ‘Lost Effect’; Beer Advised for Hiccoughs.-

“IN 1784 A TOOTHACHE was not only a catastrophe to the indie vidual but a deep, dark mystery to the medical profession, which ached to solve it. At least so a yellowed book found in the Indianapolis Public

Library reveals.

The book, “Family Physician,” was printed in old English in Phila= delphia in 1784. Its author was Dr. William Buchan, fellow of the Royal

College of Physicians, . It was given to the Public Library by an early-day Indianapolis physician. or : The cause of a toot Buchan said, “may proce / obstructed: perspiration, or|any of the other causes of inflammation.” And then after listing a half page of other possible causes, he finally concluded “the more immediate cause of the toothache is or carious tooth.” “In order to relieve the| toothache,” the doctor continued “we

the humours from ‘the rt affected. “This may be done by mild purgatives, scarifying the gums or applying leeches to them, and bathing the feet frequently in warm water. The perspiration ought likewise to be promoted by drinking freely of weak winewhey, or other diluting liquors, with small doses of nitre. Vomits too have often an exceeding good effect in the toothache.” ” ® tJ IF THAT. didn’t help, Dr. Buchan suggested the chewing of certain pungent vegetables, or the application of blistering plasters. Few applications, he said, give “more relief than blistering plasters. These “may be applied betwixt the shoulders, but they have the best effect when put behind the ears, and made so large as to cover a great part of the jaw.” That should have done the trick, but if .it didn’t, then Dr. Buchan played his trump card. “When the tooth is carious, it is often impossible to remove the pain without extracting it; and, as a spoilt tooth never becomes sound again, it is prudent to draw it soon, lest it should affect the rest. Tooth drawing, like bleeding, is very much: practiced by mechanics as well as persons of the medical profession.” Besides thumping bicuspids, Dr. Buchan was concerned greatly with the common cold. He wrote: “Many attempt to cure a cold by getting drunk. But this, to say no worse of it, is a very hazardous experiment.” : ; Throughout the book, the doctor frowned on the use of liquor for curing a disease.

EJ » 8 3 NIGHTMARES, he quoted a Dr. Whytt as saying, could be broken with. a dram. of brandy at bedtime.- However, Dr. Whytt warned, “that is a bad custom, and in time loses its effect.” : ‘He evidently was ‘cautioning the victim against saddling: himself with a worse affliction. ; v But beer, it seems, was something else again, Discussing hiccough, Dr. Buchan wrote: “1 lately attended a patient who had almost a constant hiccough for above nine weeks. It was frequently stopped by the ‘use of musk, opium, wine and other cordial and antispasmodic medicines, but . always returned. Nothing, however, gave the patient so much ease as brisk small beer.” y The doctor revealed later on that the patient refused to respond to treatment and, finally Aiccoughed himself to death.
