Protecting the Wild Fowl

The plan for migratory bird refugees, approved BY

The Norbeck bill. passed by the senate. providing
for establishment Of the migratory bird refugees. was
A decided victory for conservation Of bird life' and was
won after seven years Of effort on the part Of friends
or unqualified protection for migratory game birds
These advocates gained their point when the bill went
through the senate shorn OF the shooting grounds fea-

The Lower Rio Grande Valley, often referred 70 as

Norbeck bill. There are vast areas Of coastal lands
and waters IN South Texas admirably adapted for bird
refures-the natural habitat or winter feeding grounds
for almost every variety of water fowl as well as other
birds. Designation Of these areas would tend not only
to improve shooting in those sections outside the
refuge ones, but would assure sport for future genera
tions. providing the proper lirait Of game birds Is e-
tablished by law and the law properly enforced.
The real sportsmen, those Eho deplore the annual
slaughter Of game birds. will welcome the establish
ment or refugees, and are in accord with the opinion
Of DR.. Hornaday that when such refugees are dcsignat-
cd they should not be turned over to shooting clubs
and others.

Federal Franchises

In illinois, as in other States an official body was
created by legislation to regulate public utilities. 1t
is called the Illinois Commerce Commission 1t has
been charged at one time and another with favoring
the public utilities in the matter of fixing rates,
trolling competition and other things. Anyhow, it
hasn't been charged with prosecuting the utilities
But whether its conduct has been good or bad it
was. State authority, established by law.
Recently the Chicago elevated lines sought to in
crease fares The city of Chicago opposed the increase
before the Illinois Commerce Commission and the
increase asked was refused.
Then the elevated lines went into the United
States court and procured injunction restraining
the State body from interfering with the increase
the company sought to establish,
The excuse given for the injunction was that the
property of the company being conflscated in
violation of the fourteenth amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution.
What the Federal court did, in effect, was to fix
street railway rates on the Chicago elevated lines.
If the temporary injunction is made permanent the
Chicago elevated lines will be operating practically,
under franchise granted by the Federal courts, in
defiance of the authority of the city of Chicago and
the State of Illinois
There has been much criticism Of the United
States Supreme Court for writing into laws meanings
never intended by Congress in passing them and for
actually changing laws by interpreting them
If now the Federal courts to the fourteenth
amendment to set aside the authority OF States and
Municipalities in the matter of relations with public
utilities operating under State or municipal fran
chises we are well on way toward Federal regu-
lation of State and municipal affairs.
Where are we going to draw the line?

AUseful Undertaking

Johns Hopkins University announces establish
rent of an institute for the study of law which will
devote itself not to turning out more battalons OF
smart young lawyers but to the momentous task OF
determining how the law is serving instrument
for human welfare.
That is decidedly good news.
For generations the principal aim Of the law schools
of this country has been teach students how to work
the law An essential part Of legal training the al
most exclusive devotion to it by most OF the law
schools has resulted in neglect of the most important
question of how the law works
Now Johns Hopkins, noted for its educational pio
neerng is setting about the task of answering that
question and devsing ways by which the day to day
performance of the legal machinery Of the land better
can serve the general public welfare.
The new institute, it is announced will not con-
Germ itself with the training of lawyers in the accepted
sense of the world but will devote its resources to
"the study of the economic and social effects of the
law; the Qualification and simplifcation Of law; the
training of jurists and coders and the guidance OF
writer's of text books and thinkers upon the human
effects of law"
In announcing establishment of the institute, al
ready manned by small but distinguished staff, act
ing President Aes of Johns Hopkins says he thinks
it "as important step forward for the law as any
ever taken in this country"
The future performance Of the institute, of course,
will provide the full test of that statement but the
conception of such establishment and the launching
of it under very suspicious circumstances is fine
public service.

Auto Drivers

First Aid
No. /

BIZ Science Seruice
Driving all day, hurrying to make
the next town before nightfall, you
fail to see the car coming up the
side road until too late. After the
crash you find yourself uninjured,
but the other fellow wasn't so lucky.
Motor laws Of most States require
that you stop and give first aid. OF
course you want to help the man,
but what should you do first?
Before you can decide that you
must find out how badly he is hurt.
Is he unconscious? Has he broken
any bones? Is he badly cut or
bruised? The chief thing to do is
to make the man as comfortable as
possible and then take him to the
nearest doctor, unless you have
someone to send for a doctor.
Broken bones should be put in
temporary splints, profuse bleeding
must be checked, wounds should be
protected from further infection.
Further treatment should be left to
the doctor.
More than 10000 people are killed
in this country each year by traffic
accidents, drowning, burns, falls,
etc., and over two million more are
seriously injured in the same way.
Obviously the vacat;onist and mo-
torist needs to know methods for
giving first aid and the correct
equipment to have handy for use in
such emergencies.

Use Criminals in Tests

If the Cuban Congress agrees,
Cuban criminals doomed to death
will be offered the alternative Of
allowing themselves to be inoculated
with cancer germs and submitting
to medical observations for period
of twelve years, at the end OF which
time they will be freed if they sur
Vive.
Most anyone would rather take
chances even with cancer than to
be strangled tomorrow morning. Be
sides, doctors have to experiment
with human beings in order to learn
how to treat them effectively.
1t is a beautiful theory to suppose
that we can learn how to treat
human Ills by studying mice, rats
and guinea pigs, but it does not
work. In the final analysis, human
beings have to be dealt with, and
thousands of them have died to give
science the information it now
possesses.
Cancer is assuming tragic proper
lions as fatal disease. 1t has been
said that one out of every ten peo-
pie in this country is doomed to die
from it. If science could learn how
to reduce cancer, much less to cure
it, through studying infected
criminals, and if the criminals were
given. a few more years to live, and,
perhaps, the chance to recover and
regain their freedom, it might not
be an unfair exchange.

Our Roads Lead

Fifteen years ago the roads of Europe were vastly
superior to the roads of America. Now the situation
is reversed according to speaker before the recent
convention of the Society of Autootive Engineers at
Quebec.
European roads were in many cases, ruined by the
war; Since then the financial difficulties in which
the various governments have been involved have pre-
vented the proper maintenance and repair of the
highways.
In this country, on the other hand, tremendous
strides have been made The growing popularity OF the
automobile made good roads imperative Fifteen years
ago man could drive 500 miles without travelling a
tenth of that distance on pavement. Now, in most
parts of the country, the reverse is true.
Money spent on highways is money well spent. The
country has learned that lesson at last.

TLEAS are more disturbing in
Il the summer than in the winter.
Nothing is so annoying as a flea
that gets on the skin and moves
about, biting as it goes. Of course,
the immediate result of the flea
bite is itching, with a small spot
of Inflammation.
The Bureau of Entomology, that
part of the Government which
deals exclusively with insect pests,
has Just issued a report on how
to eliminate fleas from the prem
ises.
They breed in greatest numbers
on soil or in dust containing Vege-
table and animal matter. Moisture
must be present, but the breeding
place is usually one protected
from the rain, weather and sun.
The usual breeding places are
under buildings and porches. For
this reason, it is suggested by F.
c. Bishop that chickens and ami
mails be kept, if possible, from
going into such places by appro-
pirate fencing and screening.
The area in which fleas breed
can be protected and the fleas
destroyed by spraying with creo-
sote oil. The ground in which the
immature fleas develop is to be
covered with salt and thoroughly
wet down.
When feas get into the house,
they are probably brought there
by pet animals, hence the fleas
must be removed from the pet ami
mails and the animals temporarily
barred from the premises.
The application of gasoline to
the floors after the rugs have been
removed, and thorough scrubbing
with soap and water will get rid of
the fleas.
The f1eas can be removed from
the animals by washing with a creo-
sote solution or with a coal oil
emulsion.
The bureau points out that the
skin of cats is more tender than
that Of dogs and that solutions for
cats must be weaker than that for
dogs.
The chief disease carried by heas
is the plague. Fortunately plague
has been eliminated from the
United States so that flea bites are
not dangerous, but nevertheless ex-
tremely uncomfortable.
There are hundreds of varieties
of heas bothering men and animals
the human flea, dog flea, cat flea,
rat flea, chicken flea, and stick
tight flea.
To relieve the bites, physicians
usually prescribe weak solutions of

Too Brazen


either misled or beguiled by the brazenness Of
the plea made by Governor Jackson that it is
necessary to elect the Republican State ticket
in Indiana to "uphoId Hoover"
Much as he must be Inundated and
chagrined by the fact that his name is being
used by the Jacksons and Robinsons and the
Updikes to cloak their CHASTITY and rather
hideous political faces, Hoover, of course, can
not openly repudiate them. They claim to be
his friends.
But plea from a Jackson or Robinson
or an Updike for Hoover is as ludicrous as
would be plea for the election of AL Smith by
Hiram Wesley Evans, the head of the Ku-Klux
Khan.
The truth is that there is nothing in COM
mon between the campaign of Hoover and the
Indiana Republican nominees and sponsors ex-
cept the party label
The candidacy of Mr.. Hoover rests upon
his reputation and record for honesty, integ-
rity, efficiency and high moral standards.
He did not rise to power and eminence by
trading with hate and prejudice
He never consorted with COLLINS in the
dark, nor did he plead the statute of limitations
to keep his liberty after he had been exposed
in an effort to bride Governor.
His name does not come from Black Boxes
nor is it written in the history of secret shames.
Mr.. Hoover as President will need no aid
from those who are trying to make the people
forget the gifts of pearl necklaces, the written
contracts to deliver the postmastership OF
cities. the servility to the hateful purveyor of
greater hates.
AS real friend of Mr.. Hoover, his sup
porter for the presidency when these others
were maligning and libeling him, when these
politicians were going back to the cutters OF
politics to defeat him, The Times protests
against so brazen use of his fine name to
cloak crimes and sins.
The best service that can be rendered to Mr.
Hoover will be to turn over to the United
States an Indiana redeemed from its shame
and rid Of the forces and influences which
have disgraced it.
When Mr.. Hoover becomes President he
should not be handicapped by Republican ad-
ministration in any State which is the legiti-
mate heir to the statute of limitations as de-
Tense to crime.
When he begins to function as President, he
should have his mind free from any humiliating
thought that his own party and his magnificent
influence helped back into power any man who
participated in the political orgies of Stephen
sonism.
When Governor Jackson, Senator Robinson
and Congressman Updike begin to plead for
themselves in the name of Hoover the brazen-
ness is beyond the limits Of decency and too
monstrous to be permitted.
