would not advocate the eating
of whole wheat bread to the exclu-
sion of any other kind of bread, but
do think that those who eat white
bread exclusively should get the
benefit of the vitamine in the bran
and other parts. of the grain aside
from the kernel by eating whole
grains in the form of some other
cereal.
This can be done by varying white
bread with corn bread, by eating
oats in the form of cereal, and by
eating the different forms of break
fast food containing bran and other
parts of the grain. Generally speak
ing, one who wishes to have the
benefit of all the nutritive value of
the wheat grain, can get it best
in the form of bread made from
whole wheat flour, but there is no
reason why one should eat whole
wheat bread exclusively, any more
than there is any good reason why
one should eat white bread exclu-
sively.
The best bread diet is one that is
varied from time to time, using
white bread, whole wheat bread,
corn bread, graham bread, rye bread
and also a varied diet Of grains and
cereals in what are commonly
known as breakfast foods.

The First to Blunder

In this momentous campaign Of campaigns for
the presidency it is to be expected that there will be
many blunders
Not all the blunders will become apparent until
after the election when the losing party looks around
for some good reason to give its hackers for its defeat
While he will not be responsible for all the blum
ders and perhaps for further Ones Senator Joseph
Robinson the vice presidential nominee of the DEM
ocratc party, gets credit for committing the first
Robinson who backed Smith in the face of senti-
ment in State presumably very dry, has decided that
the Republicans may break into the Solid South He
urged upon Governor Smith the necessity of having
a regional campaign Office below the Mason and Dixon
line Smith was smart enough to reject the idea.
If there is weakness in the South the Democrats
do not want to admit it. If the Democrats in that
region. which has always been Democratic, intend
to turn Republican all the regional offices that Smith
could establish between now and election day would
not prevent it.
Either Smith has the South or he hasn't.
If he has so much the better for him. If he hasn't,
so much the worse

UnWise Assumptions

The American Civil Liberties Union is always a
valiant and generally worthy public servant
Certainly an organization committed to the mill
tant and organized defense of the letter Of the Bill
Rights in the Federal Constitution is needed in a
Nation not infrequently forgetfu of its laws and its
traditions.
And when the union confines itself to the actual
details OF case of political or economic persecution it
generally strikes pretty close to the mark.
But when 1t sets about preparing its annual re-
ports it seems to feel obliged to produce large gen.
ersdzation to cover myriad of facts. AS result it
sometimes gets little cock-eyed.
Iii its annual report for 1923, for example the
union observes that while there was less active re-
preston of civil liberties, "the general public attitude
is of Indifference and intolerance more settled and
more apathetic than at any time since the war"
The Civil Liberties Union of course, has no real
evidence to back that observation.
1t is just an impression based on a dangerous type
Of speculation about what is going on in other peo-
pies minds. It is of the reckless type as the
observation that although 1923 saw fewer cases of
dsissals of teachers for their views it probably
because the authorities have learned how to handle
such issues without arousing controversy Teachers
appointments just are not renewed"
There is enough active suppression Of civil liberties
in the United States to engage the attention Of the
Civil Liberties Union with concrete facts.
When it goes off the record to sing the blues about
help its own position or the cause it represents

Youth in New Field

The wish being father to the
thought, one is tempted to draw
extravagent conclusions, to say that
people are not only going in for a
new kind of a hero, but that young
men are visualizing a new field of
adventure.
Time was when a young mans
prowess was measured chiefly by
what he could do to some other
young man, and when he looked up
on physical encounter whether as
king, knight or common soldier, as
the one and only road to glory.
Time was when the role of mes
senger of good will was carefully
saved up for Sunday services and as
carefully laid aside during the other
six days.
We are constantly being told that
we are growing irreligious and that
youth is going to the dogs, but the
case seems to require more proof
than has yet been offered when YOU
think Of the Lindberghs, Chamber
Inns, Byrds, Ferrarins and Carranzas.
In spite of all the jazz and Jelly
beans, the youth Of this generation
seems to have gotten hold of some
thing big and fine which older
people are more than glad to ap-
plaud.

The Norris Idea.

Turning from the surface aspects Of the presiden-
tia election Senator George W. Norris with his usual
acumen has pointed out to the country the funda-
mental problem that confronts in this whole busi-
of selecting chief executive.
The President OF the United States is not chosen
by all the people of the Nation and will not be until
a new system Of elections is adopted.
Only seventeen States have direct primaries
where voters may participate in selection of party
nominee And as things work out the people in only
few of the seventeen actually have chance to
register their choice between outstanding candidates
The machinery of the electoral college is anti
quated and clumsy and it has been proved again and
again that votes in the electoral college do not reflect
accurately the popular vote of a candidate
Direct election of Presidents for which Norris is
pledging his energies and talents, is end worth
fighting for. This year, when the absurdities of a
presidential campaign plain before our eyes, is
an opportune time to begin such fight

Need Close Contact

We are approaching world peace
the same way that our ancestors ap-
preached village peace, tribal peace
and State peace.
AS it becomes necessary to the
social and industrial life, it will be
established, and not before.
We only dream when we imagine
we make progress solely as matter
of poetry and idealism. We make it
through the ordinary days work and
entertainment, through the things
we want to eat, through the mate
rials we use, through the places we
visit and through the means we in
vent to satisfy our desires.
The greater variety of goods we
use, the farther and faster we travel
and the better acquainted we become
with other people the nearer is
peace.
We may be opposed to civil war
on moral grounds, but that is not
what does most to prevent it. What
does most to prevent it is the knowl-
edge that it would deprive us Of
work, stop the pay envelope. force
us to go without a lot of things to
which we have grown accustomed,
and mess up the situation generally.
We are growing to feel the same
way toward war among nations, and
that is the one substantial promise
of peace we really have.

The following correspondence will
be Of interest to Times readers:
Dear DR.. King: Referring to the
enclosed clipping from The Indian
apolis Times would you go so far as
to say that white bread is as good
as whole wheat bread, provided one
likes it as well, or better?
R. j. DEARBORN,
University Heights.
Dear Mr.. Dearborn: had no
idea when expressed rayself con-
corning spinach, green vegetables,
diet generally, etc, that I would stir
up so much comment as has fol-
lowed the little article in The Times.
Nevertheless, I feel that We can
well afford to be sane and sensible
about what we eat.
What is true of vegetables, is also
true of cereals and grains. The
whole grain Of wheat is valuable as
an article of food. BY improved
processes in milling, we finally have
been enabled to separate everything
but the white part of the grain and
this we are accustomed to use in
making bread. The average house
wife and the average man over a
period Of years has learned to think
Of bread in terms of whiteness, so
that both turn up their respective
noses at bread that is dark in color,
although this is the bread that car
ries all the nutritive qualities in the
grain.

Tyade, Travel for Peace


Now we come to the air, a high
way opened to all and capable of
being monopolized by none.
1t is prophetic that the greatest
pioneers of the air should be acting
as messengers of good will and it is
even more prophetic that their role
should be received with such popular
acclaim.
We continue to pretend that the
'proclamations, treaties and con-
ferences of statesmen determine the
relations of countries, though we
know better.
Deep down in our hearts, we know
that trade, travel and the attitude
developed by beth constitute the real
secret.
Deep down IL our hearts, we know
that we would not be enjoying the
peace and security we are but for
the means of commercial and social
intercourse, which modern civiliza-
ton has supplied, that the steam
ship, railroad, telegraph, radio and
allied agencies present the influence
which, more than any other, is
making us decent and orderly from
an international standpoint.
Deep down in our hearts, we
realize that such a service as that
about to be established by "Ameri-
can. Airways, Inc.," between this
country and Latin America will do
more to promote peace than con-
ference or treaty.

The Power Trust Probe

big middle western newspaper runs story by
its Washington correspondent saying that the Federal
Trade Commissions investigation Of the power trust
has failed of its purpose and protesting that public
money is being spent its continuation
Maybe the investigation has failed, for all we
know. 1t does SEEM though, if it was worth all
it cost to find out no whe utility barons are spreading
propaganda throughout the natica. A few of those
revelations about doctored text books were to our
notion, his highly important.
1t is hard to see just wherein the investigation
has been flop To us it seems as if the country
has got its moneys worth out of it.

SAYS:

TINE reaction to Captain Car
i ranza'S tragic fate is not only
unique, but suggestive.
He was young man, never held
high Office and claimed distinction
largely as a messenger of good will.
Insview of what happened during
the last f1fUeen years, it is startling
to find Mexico accep pting him as her
national hero.
Where are all the liberators who
made such strenuous bids for popu-
lar favor, the warriors who vent
forth to save the county, that he
should be preferred above them?
Where is all the anti-American SEN
timent that his efforts to promote
friendship with the United States
should strike such a responsive
chord? Where is all the course of
revolution and politics that he
should be the one to reunite a dis
tracted people?
Shall we dismiss the episode as
due to general excitement over avi-
alton, or shall we put on the rose
tinted glasses Of optimism and re-
gard it as forecasting that new or

dreamed?

XETHEN your partner doubles in

The Indiana Issue

The candidates and leaders of the Demo-
cratic party of this State who gather today
should be under no illusions as to their respon-
sibility and their opportunity.
There is something more than a contest be-
tween party organizations in this State this
year. There is a crusade that has nothing to
do with parties at all.
The demand of men and women of all par
ties and all shades of political belief is that
the forces and influences which held, through
fraud and misrepresentation and trickerles, the
State government in the past few years be
overthrown and the government returned to
those who represent the people and who stand
for different morality.
The Republican candidate for Governor is
heir to Jacksonism and Stephensonism. Those
Republicans who voted in large numbers to
redeem their party were dismayed by the fact
that the convention of their party, in this I'M
portant matter, was controlled by the same old
forces which had given the State Jackson
four years ago.
The vo es in that convention for man who
was fourth or fifth or some other remote choice
of Republican voters came from the Klaverns
and the local Coffin machine, now under IN
vestigation for ballot frauds.
The people have not forgotten that their
present Governor owes his liberty to the statute
Of limitations which he pleaded after witnesses
had very conclusively proved his guilt OF an
attempt to bribe former Governor McCray to
Give the Coffin machine control Of the prose
cutorship of this county.
The people know the shame and the humlll-
alton which has been theirs because OF the un-
fortunate control of their party by these forces
which again demand and desire power.
There can be no illusions as to the undeslra-
bilitv Of sending Arthur Robinson back to the
Senate. He was too closely linked with the
days of Stephensonism. He is too much the
creation Of the Coffin discredited machine
The issues in this State are much more i'm
portant than the ideas of Herbert Hoover on
farm relief or AL Smith personal views on
the desirability of changing the Volstead act
SO as to permit each State to settle by referen-
dunn and local option the exact amount OF al
cohol which they believe will intoxlcate their
citizens.
The demand in this State is for public own
ership Of government.
The desire of decent citizens regardless OF
party labels, is for State government for
which they neither have to apologize nor curse.
Interesting as the national campaign may
become, the big battle in Indiana will and
should center about the Statehouse and the
senatorship.

Harry Kittradpa,s Deed

In Lowell, Mass, lives man named Harry Kitt-
redge whom all holdup men would do well to avoid
hereafter.
bandit attacked Kttredge and his wife late one
night recently as they returned home after drive
Instead of submitting, Kittredge grappled with him
The two fought vigorously, until Kittredge got his
hands on the bandits throat Then he tightened hiG
grip and held on. After a time the bandits body re-
laxed and he fell unconscious Mrs Kittredge called
the police.
When the police arrived the bandit was dead.
If more men showed the spirit and courage dis
played by Kittredge there would be fewer holdups
bandit is essent ally coward; the average holdup
man would give up in fear if he thought he were
going to run any risk. This Lowell citizen who de-
Tended himself instead of submitting is to be com
mended.

Astronomers named this star Delta because it is the
fourth brightest star in the constellation Mu is the
Greek letter 'M"
Garnet star" 1t given this name by the great
English astronomer, Sir William Herschel because of
its beautiful ruddy hue 1t is the reddest star to be
seen with the unaided eye in the northern hemisphere
This star should be of double interest to you first
because of its beautiful rich coorng; second because
it Sir William Herschel who named it the garnet
star
There are few figures in the history Of science more
interesting than Herschel His life is inspiration
to all who read it,
He was born in Hanover, Germany in 1888. His
father was an army musician and he trained his son
to follow in his footsteps
For four years Herschel played the oboe in the
Hanoverian Guards Band In 1757 he ran away to
England where he became first bandmaster and
then an organist.
He became interested in astronomy and astounded
by the wonders and beauties which small telescope
revealed decided to build hinelf big telescope
AS time went he became the foremost telescope
builder and astronomer of his day. He became IA
nous throughout the world when he discovered the
planet Uranus.
He was knighted by King George III, given many
honorary degrees and in 1921 became the first pres-
dent of the Royal Astronomical Society
So when you gaze at the garnet star think of the
poor oboe player who became the greatest astronomer
OF his day. Something about Delta will be told next

Aerial Traffic Laws

traffic laws seem to be rather hard-boiled Reputa-
lions mean nothing at all to them.

Byrd recently fined heavily for breaking various
air regulations Now comes word from Montreal
that Duke Shiller of Canadas most distinguished
1ierS, has lost his license for six months because

TN their studies of the bodies of 420
Il persons who had died with the
symptoms of essential high blood
pressure, pathologists in the Univer-
sity of Minnesota paid special atten-
ton to the condition of the heart
and of the blood vessels.
Their observations convinced them
that persons with this condition are
likely to have an enlarged heart,
particularly one portion of the heart,
namely. the left ventricle.
The hearts Of many patients with
high blood pressure are, however,
only slightly enlarged.
The size of the heart is believed
to depend on the length of the dis
ease, the constancy of the high pres
sure and the circulation of the blood
in the heart muscle itself.
Hardening of the arteries Of the
heart itself they believe bears some
causative relationship to essential
high blood pressure, since such
changes in the coronary blood YES

Fear Air Invasion

Flying from one country to an
other in machines which could rain
death and destruction, can this
hold any promise of peace, and do
the people sense it?
Well, let lis pause and reflect.
Good roads, widened peace areas
on the land, though they seemed to
promise an opposite effect at the
start. In the beginning, men feared
good roads, because, as they reas-
oned, barbaric hordes and unfriend-
ly neighbors would only have an
easier time getting at them.
The same was true of the sea.
Men regarded it as friendly bar
rler in olden times, and were
alarmed whenever it was crossed.
But we know that the sea has
brought vast regions under a fair
degree of order where chaos
formerly prevailed.
