Some of the titles may seem
modern but the tunes and method
of presentation is strictly old-fash-
toned.
Some Real Playing
Those who go in for operatic or
chestral music will be delighted
with the Metropolitan Opera House
orchestra playing " Cavalleria Rus
ticana," as an intermezzo, and as a
prelude on a Brunswick record.
Gennaro Papi is the conductor Of
this orchestra. There is much tonal
beauty both in recording and in the
orchestra itself in this record. This
record Is a gem and belongs In
every home that boasts Of having a
real recorded library.
Have been unable to hear Viz
ginia Rea sing COG Dor" and
Romeo and Juliet" Juliet's Walt
Song, on a Brunswick. Knowing
the quality Of this woman's work
on the Brunswick and the beauty OF
"Coq Dor" Hymn to the Sun,
am sure that we have a treat wall
ing for us.

compassionate dimes working its
streets than any city of similar
size. But it has enough, and can
get along nicely If the crop is
thinned/out. Shooing them away,
though, will be difficult.
A month or more ago the Coun-
Gil Of Social Agencies invited street
beggars, crippled vendors of shoe
strings and lead pencils and blind
musicians who work the downtown
streets to apply to the Family
Welfare Society for help. The re-
Spouse to this offering of help was
trif1ing.
Neither organized charities nor
police can dissuade professional
mendicants from plying their trade
It's too profitable. Many Indian
apolis beggars make as much as
$25 day, it is said.
The benevolent individual who
drops a few pennies in a blind
mans cup. buys a useless lead
pencil from vendor with well dis
played physical shortcomings, feels
a warm glow of. satisfaction for
his virtuous deed. But he merely
encourages beggary instead Of re-
lieving grim want.
Beggars and panhandlers can be
run out Of town. However, to do
the job the public must cooperate
with the police. Cold looks instead
of coins bestowed on street mendi-
cants will quickly drive them
hencce. In any event they won't
starve. Well-financed welfare or
carnations are at hand to handle
adequately cases Of actual need.

CRITICISM OF
NAVY

TR ED RICK TESCHE-
l. MACHER. whose twin sons
- went down with the subma-
rine S-51, has returned to Indian
apolis after a heart-breaking vigil
at the scene of the disaster. He
has only high praise for the un-
successful attempts by naval au-
thorities to rescue the victims of
the sunken craft.
II have no criticism of the
Navy" he. said. TN this disaster.
as in others, the Navy has been
handicapped. One has only to be
in close touch with the Navy
as we have been-to realize that
the officers and men did their best
with the rescue facilities"
No criticism, though the Navy
took his two sons and drowned
them-unavoidably or negligently
like rats in a trap. Some of our
loudest amateur denouncers Of al
legged mismanagement of the sea
arm of our national defense might
profit by his example.
Planning the Navy has been a
widespread pastime since the She
nandoah horror, the attempted Ha-
wall flight, and the Ssh tragedy.
To plain citizen, whose only
acquaintance with the sea is
through opening a can of salmon,
It would seem that all is not we'll
with the Navy Department. A sim
gle disaster may be an act of God.
But a succession Of disasters point
to incompetence and mismanage-
Enent. And the United States Navy
has lost more ships and men in
the past four years Of peace than
in the World War.
That record is disturbing. If it
is the result of land-lubberly direc-
ton of naval affairs or incipient
Generalization of Navy personnel
the situation should be remedied.
The problem, though, is dis
tinctly up to the Administration
and the experts qualified by ex-
perience and knowledge Of naval
affairs. Editorial thunderbolts
forged a thousand miles inland
and loose criticism by citizens who
have never even padded a canoe
are valueless.

Local councils in all towns under 5000 will

Mussolini's aim seems to be build ND a
strong centralized government, which will Sill
pervlse even the police powers in the smaller
towns. Early in the history of this republic,
Thomas Jefferson fought with all his power
against such an idea
Later history has proved that in general he
was right. 1t is doubtful is Mussolini can vet

Sitting the Sense From
Il the Nonsense

T1HE President IS aircraft inquiry is getting
Il along fine.
s@ Plenty Of witnesses and just as many
opinions on how to run the national defense
What one says the next one denies
But don't be discouraged All this is per-
fectlv natural. Ask 100 railway men how to
run railroad, or 100 women how to bake
cake, and you will get, in either case' just
about 100 different answers.
#E The fundamentals of railroading or cake
baking, however, are well known. SO are the
fundamentals of national defense Thus when
it.comes to listening to the various schemes for
practicing any of these arts, plain common
sense must rule
a A few years ago, with the gyroscope, a
man came forward with monorail railway
which it was claimed, would completely revo-
lntionize railroading and reduce transporta-
ton costs to a minimum. But our hard-heaoeo
railway magnates did not scrap their tWo-rall
Mlines because of the discovery. Common sense
told them to wait until the one-rale idea had
become dependable before they threw away
something already proved
Similarly you would not use all flour to
make cake Nor all eggs Nor all sugar
You might try new combination OF these and
other ingredients, using more of some than OF
sothers, but you would stick to the generally
Excepted idea, at least, of cake baking.
M We must stick to the fundamentals of ma
tional defense in just the same way. Today
we are hearing lot about floating nayies be-
3 ing obsolete Some so-called experts are advo-
eating scrapping ours despite the fact that not
one great power on earth has done anything OF
the kind with theirs, nor have we heard of any
such country contemplating such move.
# The Presidents special air board seems to
have plenty of common sense. They are going
to need it before they are through sitting the
sense from the nonsense.
go Still and all there is really nothing diff
Teult about determining the kind of national de-
tense we need 1t must, Of course, be well bal
anced and capable of functioning on land or
sea, or in the air or under the water anywhere
at any time regardless of wind or weather.
Which means that we need aircraft and
plenty of the best, bang=np army capable of
rapid expansion and a navy of the kind ap-
proved by the best minds of the most powerful
seafaring nations the world over.
