Progress Is Noted Among Indian Women

LONDON = Women in India have made marvellous strides in the last few years, Sir Atul Chat terjee, high commissioner for In dia in the United Kingdom. told an educational association here.
 "The women of India today ex- ercise a far greater influence in the, home than in any country with which I am acquainted" Sir Atul asserted, "and their influ- encc in affairs outside the home. although not so obtrusive, is still extremely powerful.
 "A politician, an administrator or a professional man, if hepneg- lects the influence of Indian wo- men, cannot be but a complete failure in his profession, and it is all the more important that at tention should be given to the education of women, because at this moment India is passing through very important and re mafkable changes.
 '.We are trying to do in a few decades all that has been done in western Europe in two or three centuries. We are passing from the medtAeval state to the phase Of modem civilization"
 <, The commissioner pointed out that ih inc last seven years near it alf the legislatures in India had dAcided that women should hHVs the franchise for the state and ctntra1 legislatures on the same terms as men and in some pr0vifees women had been elect ed t6 the legislative council.

Mr.. Jim had tuberculosis, and
knew it-when he was sober.
Most of the time, however, he
drowned this knowledge in drink.
These were trying times for his wife
and four children.
He was an irregular provider and
the children often went hungry, and
were forced to remain at home from
school because they had no shoes,
until the school social service de-
partment learned of their need.
Mr.. Jim had only one redeeming
feature, according to his wife; ne
was a chronic deserter, going away
for weeks at time. Summers, they
managed to pull through, but the
first touch of cold weather brought
on all the old ills and fears and
hopelessnesS.
Through the schools, the family
became known to the Salvation
Army. which had Mr.. Jim placed
in Sunnyside Sanatorium, but be-
cause he proved so unruly he was
dismissed and left the city.
Mrs. jim was very discouraged.
The house was a slovenly place; one
little boy showed T. B. symptoms
ana the three other little fellows
were sadly in need Of tonsilectomies
and dental care.

less Of what the hair may have been
in the first place.
Nevertheless, innumerable women
spend money every year to have
this virtue.
One Of the products now being in
vestigated, claiming to be a secret
formula for restoring gray hair to
its original color, and not hair
dye, was found on examination to
have as its essential ingredients for
restoring color the two chemicals,
lead and sulphur, the former being
exceedingly dangerous.
Among the vegetable dyes used
for hair, henna is the best known,
but indigo wood extracts, sage and
camomile meal have also been popu-
lar.
Hair treated with most of these
dyes, as well as with hydrogen Of
peroxide is likely to end up with
all sorts of peculiar colors, some
1imes even with a strange spotted
appearance.
Dyes are difficult to prepare; re-
suits are not, of course, permanent,
since the hair grows. Most Of the
dyes do not penetrate the hair shaft

Many people are sensitive to this

Monument Of Tolerance

Youth is inclined to look out upon
the world with Encouragement; to
imagine that human progress has
robbed it of opportunities, to sup
pose that there is less room for ro-
nance and adventure than there
once was. That is wrong.
Colonel Lindbergh not only got
as big thrill out of crossing the
Atlantic as did Columbus, but vastly
more applause.
Those who dream and dare today
can depend on an appreciative at
titude. If they succeed, they can
look for cheers, if they fail they do
not face the cruel fate of being
crushed to death by ridicule.
Fulton was jeered as a lunatic
Whitney's cotton gin was smashed
to pieces. and Mccormick was re-
buked for inventing the reaper. We
not only have made progress in the
field of invention and discovery, but
what is more gratifying, in our atti-
tude toward it, we have learned to
treat new ideas with a decent de-
gree of fairness and to give those
who would try them a reasonable
chance. That, after all, is Column
bus greatest monument.

Hoover, Smith and Candor

The New York World refers to Hoover's recent
remarks on Muscle Shoals as shadow boxing" and
cannot understand how the Scripps- Howard news
papers, which for so long have fought bold fight
for public development" can continue to support a
man so vague on the power question.
If it's movement for more candor among can
ddates that The World is interested in we are al
ready for it.
But let's not be exclusive.
So far as we are concerned it is all right to begin
with Hoover and Muscle Shoals Then, let's start
in on the happy warrior" and have him make
transparent that murky proposition about the equal
zation Fee
AS a matter of fact, there seems to be something
about political campaigning that just naturally
breeds crcumlocution. Disingenuousness and am
biguty become second nature. And candidate,
no political speaker no pamphleteer, is immune. The
reason for that is mystery.
1t is difficult to understand why Hoover didn't
say he was for Government ownership and Govern
ment operation Muscle Shoals either neither
instead of saying something else then pointing to it
and saying further-"that means Muscle Shoals; +"
them two days later interpreting what he meant by
"that"
It is equally difficult to understand why Al Smith
didn't say in his acceptance speech during his refer
ence to agriculture that he was for the McNary-
Haugen bill, instead of waiting weeks to take the
plunge in Omaha; or why he doesn't say he is for
the equalization fee instead of weasel wording around
about the "exportable surplus" and the machinery
Of handling it."
Nor can we fathom the depths of why he doesn't
say he is for letting in more southern Europeans,
instead of ndulging in haZy references to the prn-
cipe of restriction based upon the figures of immi-
grant population contained in census 80
years DID, and then later declaring that there Is
no difference between his position and Hoovers, when
very obviously he knows there is great difference.
Both candidates commend candor as virtue
Hoover talks about using words to convey our mean
ing, not to hide it," and Smith about AN honest,
frank and complete explanation of the issues" but
neither by any adopts the virtue both applaud
And as one weighs against the other, 1t is like
the wet Republicans and the dry Democrats-it's a
standof.
If it's candor the world seeks, we are for it-but
without playing favorites Let's have more of it, from
both candidates.

Reason

IT wasn't very delicate for the
Il President Of Cuba to tell our
Spanish War veterans at their Ha-
vana convention that the Platt
amendment which gives us super
visory powers over Cuba should be
repealed.
It's natural for the Cubans not
to want anybody to have any strings
to them, but experience has shown
the necessity of our holding them.
Roosevelt sent the army down
there in 1906 to keep the peace and
the army stayed three years, and
then again in 1920, Wilson sent
General Crowder down to untangle
a knot which threatened revolution.
Cuba is in luck that her guardian
is not a carnivorous party, ready to
devour her at the first opportunity.
Commander Richard E. Byrd, has
left California on his long voyage
to the South Pole and Uncle Sans
rabbits foot goes with him.
It's a shame that such fine thor
oughbreds as Byrd and his men
should risk their lives while so many
political crooks remain under shell
ter and grow fat off the substance
of the public.

Greyhounds Of the Air

Out wonder. somewhere over the Atlantic, the
Graf Zeppelin largest airshp ever built with sixty
passengers and crew aboard is fighting it out with
the elements, her nose pointed in our direction.
The monster dirigible is coming to America on
business bent. Back in 1919 the R-34 British dir
igble few from Scotland to Long Island and back
again to the British Isles.
And in 1924 the ZR-3 flew from Germany to
Lakehurst to remain in this country the Los An
geles But the Graf zeppelins mission is different.
Hers is the first purely commercial flight any
ocean ever attempted by such a craft, and the ven
ture therefore becomes historic.
If the Graf Zeppeln's trip is successful-and DR..
Hugo Eckener, her designer, builder and commander
insists it will be-further similar voyages across the
Atlantic will made with passengers to prove prac-
hcability of this mode of travel.
Afterwards, Dr. Eckener believes, there will be no
lack of capital to back regular line of mail, freight
and carrying dirgibes, not only across the
Atlantic, but the Pacific and other vast ex-
panses of water and land as well.
Up to the present the arpane has had the spot
light. When people mentioned flying they thought
of planes Few engineers and designers have given
their time and thought to drgible development and
the Zeppelin works at Friedrichshafen, virtually
alone in the field have been greatly Handicapped
since the war by treaty regulations and lack of
capital.
Today the situation is changing. Aviation experts
agree there is an important future for ghter-than-
air craft So if the Graf Zeppelin makes good rapid
advancement in structural design and performance
will follow as a matter of course and revolution
in mans mode of travel will be at hand.
It took the R-34 more than 1OS hours to fly from
East Fortune Scotland, to Mineoa, N Y. $3.50 miles
The Los Angeles flew from Lake Constance to Lake
hurst, 5O66 miles, in 81 hours II minutes. What the
Graf Zeppelin will do this same crossing in remains
to be seen, but Dr. Eckener is counting on approx
inatey seventy-two hours.
The big airship really is blazing trail, despite
The fact that the Atlantic has been crossed three
times before by dirigibes. In her wake likely
soon to see vast fleets of merchant air liners, each
carrying hundreds of passengers precisely like the

Santa Maria of Air

Saturday: Parades and brass
bands are good as far as they go;
but the one event that stands out
as distinctly appropriate to the
observance of Columbus day this
year is the flight of the Graf
Zeppelin.
That is an event which would
make the old navigator's blood
tingle, which would convince him
that humanity still is travelling the
course he charted.
No tribute counts like that of
emulation. The Graf Zeppelin,
vending her way through the sky,
blazing the trail for another mag
nificent adventure, symbolizes the
same kind of vision and boldness
that made Columbus great.
If he were living in this genera
ton he would be dreaming in terms
of aeronautics, for that was his
nature.
Columbus was one of those rest
less souls who would not be salts
fed, who was dominated by the
feeling that humanity must not
stand still, and that nothing counted
but what 1t represented some i'm
provement over old theories and con-
ceptionS.

Pioneer Spirit Lives

Like everything else, pioneering
must adjust itself to changed con-
ditions; it must express itself in
different ways. Only in spirit can
it remain true to form. But that
spirit is all-important.
The fact that Africa has been ex-
plored; that the Poles have been
discovered and that the seven seas
have been sounded means little, ex-
cept that those who dream and dare
must find new trails.
Pioneering becomes more a matter
of brainwork and less a matter of
brute force, but It is pioneering, just
the same. The scientist who tin

neer who takes the helm of an air.
