possible for diseases to be trans
United in this manner.
One of the damages from such
material is the presence of bent
and rusty pins with which the
hands of workers may be scratched
affording a ready opportunity for
infection to enter.
The United States Government
has specified methods of washing
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-08-28

and sterlizing rags used as wipers
by the Government establishments
which make certain that only clean
materials will be used.
1t is the opinion of the New
York State department of labor
that common decency requires
that wiping rags be washed and
sterilized. The danger that they
may carry infection unless passed
through such a process cannot be
ignored.

T. S. to Work
i'm Hand With
World League
BY WILLIAM PHILIP sIMMs

d WILLIAM EnAl4AT SAnVAS
Foreign Editor, scripps- Howard Newspapers
DURELY as a matter of practical
Il world politics the United States
henceforth inevitably will find it adj
visable if not necessary to work
hand in hand with the League Of
Nations for world peace.
More than once this thought
found expression in the gilded
galleries of Quai D'Orsay as world
statesmen, journalists and observers
gathered to witness the signing Of
the pact ou>'awing war.
More than one passage of Foreign
Minister Brands speech gives color
to this idea.
Said he, in the concluding address,
Great hope is now being signalled
to the world along the wires. Hence
forth, it will behoove us as a sacred
duty to do all that can and must be
done for that hope not to be dis
appointed. Peace is proclaimed. 1t
is we'll. 1t is much. But it still
remains necessary to organize 1t.
That is the work of tomorrow"
Even before that he took occasion
to quote from Coolidges Gettys-
burg speech. Said BRAND, Modern
law interdependence between ma
tions makes it incumbent upon every
statesman to take up for himself
those memorable words of President
Coolidge an act of war in any part
of the world is an act that injuries
the interest of my country.
n
IN view of this modern idea OF
L war, it is asked, can the United
States consistently remain entirely
passive while war is coming onP
Now that America stands with
the rest of the world morally bound
to discourage war, can she hold
aloof while other signatories of the
pact actively try to prevent a
threatened war disastrous to her as
we'll as to them.
1t is pointed out that with the
! exception Of the United States the
rest of the great powers signing the
Kellogg pact already are members
of the League of Nations. The
league already is functioning as an
international society, the chief pur-
pose of which is to organize world
peace. Can, il. is asked, the United
! States refuse to cooperate with it
in the future in any legitimate eff
fort to forestall a mutually dis
astrous war?
No one is discussing the United
States actually joining the league
but observers rather are expecting
America to find some way to CO.
operate more closely on the out
side as the most practical means of
preventing war, which as Coolidge
said would injure American inter
ests wherever it happens.

The Movie Producers Problem

Pity the poor moving picture producer in these
trying days, He is who must make weghty
decisions.
The new talking movie is at the bottom of his
trouble Shall he go in for it? 1t will mean ditchng
most OF his present star actors and actresses and find
ing new who have brains and can really act 1t
will mean constructing elaborate new studios. 1t will
mean devising entire technique of production.
1t will mean knotty problems in connection with the
foreign market; for French and German and Ar
gentnian audience won't care for pictures that talk
in English.
The movie producer must guess right on all of
these questions for his existence hangs in the balance
1t looks as if the days of easy money in the movies
were about over.

The Crouchy Boss

The boss is always wearing a most
forbidding frown he has the coolest
bearing of any man in town. He looks
upon the workers as though he would
imply that they are lazy shirkers just
trying to get by. Some fault he's al
ways finding with everything that's
done, and language harsh and grinding
ne hands to every one. He's lavish with
his gaZes betraying Scorn and ire and
Stingy with the praises to which all
men aspire. He never says to Peter, he
never says to Hank, IF life is growing
sWeeter, have you men to thank; you
never fret or peeve me, you're loyal
and you're true, and if you boys should
leave me, I don't know what I'd do
The works are growing bigger because
OF faithful men: you toll with vim and
vigor, and do that stunt again" All,
no, he never hands them little rose
of speech, but DULLES and commands
them with fierce and raucous screech.
And so his men go dragging their weary
feet along; they are not joShing, brag-
ging, or humming strips of song. The
atmosphere is dismal throughout the
changing works. and brings a grief abys-
NAL to all the hands and clerks. The
boss is heard admitting at times that
trade is bad; he often thinks of quitting
no business to be had. He blames it
on the toilers, who are not worth a
cent; they are the sinful spoilers of all
that might content. Yet there are other
bosses who seem to make things go:
they don't complain of losses or radiate
blue woe. They set a good example,
with cheerful quips and cracks, and the
reward is ample-their men get down
to tackS. WALT MASON.

were you afraid of? Yowler the Bob

And it certainly wasn't YoWler the
Bobcat that caused me to move. You
know there are some secrets we like

discovered my nest and opened it up.
After that l thought I'd better leave.
So took all my belongings and moved
out"
And did Farmer Browns Boy
bother you any more?" inquired White
foot
No" replied Trader mo, cannot
say he did In fact, I haven't seen
him since l don't think he's been
around this place for long. long time.
That's Why I'm thinking of moving
back AS for YoWler the Bobcat, he
can't get inside here unless some one
leaves the door open and there isn't
any one to do that"
DO you think you'll move in right

Whitefoot looked thoughtful for a

"Sh-h-h-h!" said Mrs. Whitefoot.

going to waste no time in building a

White took a. shot at a bunch. of ptarmigan and with the firing of the shot something hit hin, in the right eye The water ran freely, but no relief, came to the eye. While the eye was not. seriously im- paired from ordinary duty., it was ap- parently impossible for him, ta make anywhere near q perfect shot from that time on. In fact, to use a slang phrase, he was album shot. To make matters worse, three or four years afterward a mele or something akin to it, came upon the left eve, adding further to the impairment of vision and especially so when he at- tempted to do anything with: his gun. Time went on, and about five years ago, while on the Outside, MT. White consulted two eye Specialists.
