HoWdy, MarSl

Once more Mars figures in the
headlines; once more we hear abou'
the canals" and wonder what
makes the planet red.
Mars is paying us one of his
periodic visits. 1t is only 55,000,000
miles away, which astronomers re-
gard as. real neighborly. Besides
that, it roves high in the heavens
at midnight, which enable them to
look at it and take pictures of it
with a minimum of atmospheric in
reference.
When a planet is overhead, there
is only fifty or 100 miles of atmos-
phere to look through. When it Is
low on the horizon, and telescopes
must parallel the earth, there may
be a thousand miles. The difference
is important.
All things considered, we are
probably better acquainted with
Mars than any other star or planet
We have learned enough to writa
hundreds of books and indulge il.
thousands Of speculations. We have
not learned enough, however, to
decide whether there is life, OF
what the so-called canals" really
are.
Considering that there are mil
lions of stars, it looks as if we
had a long way to go to learn what
the universe really is, much less
how it came into being.

An Open Letter to the U. S. Senate

To the Senate of the United States-The twenty
five Scripps- Howard newspapers respectfully inform
you that their popular poll indicates more than a
100 to majority favoring immediate and unqualified
ratification of the mutateral treaty with ftynine
nations renouncing war as instrument Of national
policy.
Incomplete returns for the ninth day of the ten
day poll show 91816 in favor and 829 opposed, lndi-
eating an estimated final favorable total of 100000
votes. This is "a exceptionally large number for
newspaper poll within such voting period.
But more significant than the numbers voting is
the majority registered. That overwhelming majority
is only symbolic of all other expressions of the public
will on this issue The President and senate have re-
ceived tens of thousands of such petitions from indi
viduals and great national organizations. Leaders
of thought and action throughout the country are for
the treaty In general there is no public opposition
These voters requested you to "get the peace pact
out Of the senate by Christmas"
They were impelled by more than sentiment 1t
seemed to them fitting and beautiful act of peace
and good will that this treaty should be Americas
Christmas gift to the world. But they also had a
PRACTICAL purpose In the past senate delay sometimes
has nulnaed and defeated treaties They do not
want this to happen with the anti-war pact.
Now the senate has postponed treaty debate def
ntely until after the holiday recess. BY failing to I'M
derStand the peoples Will, you nave incurred grave
responsibility Senator Borah and certain OF his asso-
ciates charged with prompt ratification, are doubly
responsible for past delay and for any notification
defeat which may result.
By their manifold expressions through ballots, petit
tions and resolutions the people, to the limit OF their
power already have made the spirit of this treaty
Americas gift to the world.
Surely the senate, when it comes to act beatedly,
will not undo what they have done.
Respectfully,
THE SCRIPPS-HOWARD NEWSPAPERS.

Observers today feel certain that there is sort
of fine structure in the markings on Mars But they
are equally certain that they not canals.
Russell and number of others think that they
may be belts of vegetation
The thermocouple, delicate electrical thermome-
ter, has been used in connection with the 100-nch
telescope at Mt Wilson, to take the temperature of
the planet.
This study has revealed that the night temperature
Mars at the equator is Zero 1t is much lower
at the poles.
There are indications, however, that the day tenn
peraure in the equatorial region rises to fairly high
point
The 200-nch telescope will give much larger
image of Mars than does the 100inch. 1t may, there
fore, throw additional light the fine structure on
the planets surface.
Russell also believes that the thermocouple can be
used with the 200inch telescope to take the tempera
ture of relatively small of the image, thus fur
nishing rather detailed study of temperature condi
tons on the planet.
In his way he thinks weather maps of Mars, at
least for temperature conditions will be possible.
He believes that this will throw considerable light
onthe question of whether not conditions Mars

The Glamour of Crime

There may be more than one lesson growing out
Of the murder of Arnold Rothstein Those who seri-
ousy studying the causes of crime and the evil
influences brought to bear upon boys and girls in city
life may find something worth while in the example
set to boys by gamblers of the Rothstein type
Most boys hero worshipers. In this age and
generation success means money and plenty of it.
Hotel behops messenger boys and others thrown into
daily contact with the men of the city come to know
by sight such weknown characters as Rothstein and
his associates.
They in their clothing, their extravagent habits
Tie free and easy manner in which they spend their
money, their expensive automobiles and their more
expensive women every material evidence of financial
success.
These boys of the city are not dummies. They know
that the furnishing sports of the underworld don't
work for their living They know that the rich gam
blers booteggers and sports of the great White Way
live by their WITS and that in some way the money
that goes easy comes easy.
So most boys are apt to think such spenders and
sports smart They may look upon them as much
more heroic than the vast army of other who
work and get their money in pay envelopes.
Even policemen who draw a salary that is never
too much probably look at the Rothstens the smiling
George NGcNanuses and their ilk with some envy If
the philosophical mind to come to think that the
easiest way is the best.
E Anyhow. to immature minds crime seems to pay.
Students of crime and its causes place much
stress home environment. nliterate parents and
unattractve homes play their part, no doubt. But
there the glamour of about the groomed
gambler and underworld sport that to point to
the material reward that most boys to believe is
the proper aim of life.
When we told that S7,5o5 boys we're taken
before the courts for violation of law in 1927 can
begin to appreciate the Importance of attaining such
regulation of city life that crime can't be paraded
as successful before growing boys
In New York the city where Rothstein and his
gang has fourished police commissioner is
about to take Office The task he will confront is
of the most important in the world
And not the least important of the possibilities for
service that such position presents is the good that
he can do by stamping out such parasites as Roth
stein and his gang not only in Kidding the community
Il the parasites but in proving to the growing genera
ton that life of crime does not pay.

Thrust at Mellon

Representative Garner of Texas,
charges that Secretary of the Treas
ury Mellon, misled President Cool
idge.
Mellon, Garner says, predicted a
surplus in the treasury when he
knew, or should have known there
would not be one.
The big idea, Garner says, was to
make congress feel comfortable
financially so that it would author
ize a $12,000,00O loan to Greece.
Last summer, Secretary Mellon
predicted that a $94,0O0,000 deficit
in the treasury might be expected.
In his recent message President
Coolidge said that there would be
surplus of $37,O0O,0OO, but after
wards asked for an appropriation of
$75, 100000 for tax refunds, which
more than wiped it out
Garner says that United States
Steel and other big corporations are
getting big share of the tax re-
fund
What rs there to all this, except
political shadow boxing?

Certainly the sick person should
not be permitted to fondle or play

If the patient is a young child
other children should not be adj

Maintaining Order

Chicago has had ATS murders
thus far this year. That is ten or
twelve times as many as London,
and London is twice as large as
Chicago. What makes the differ
ence?
One could lay it on prohibition, If
the same disparity had not obtained
before the Eighteenth Amendment
was adopted.
Much as bootlegging, rum run
ming, gang warfare and other en-
terprises born Of Volsteadism may
have to do with crime and its in
crease, they do not explain the fact
that for fifty years the United
States has led the civilized world
in murder, thievery, arson, embez-
element and other major offenSes.
either does the oft repeated excuse
It this is a new country composed
many races.
Canada, Australia, New Zealand
and South Africa are just as new
and just as polyglot as the United
States.
We face no condition, or combin-
alton of conditions that can not be
duplicated in several parts of the
world.
Our one distinction lies in a
manifest inability to maintain order.
London, Paris and Berlin repre-
sent just as difficult problems when
it comes to dealing with the vicious
elements than New York, Chicago
or Philadelphia. yet each and every
one Of them shows a better record.

TINE twenty-ffth anniversary of
4 mans first flight finds aviation
looming large on the horizon. The
possibilities it offers are almost be-
yond the imagination
Such experts as Ford and Sir
korsky predict mammoth airships
to carry so, 100 or even 200 passen-
gers. That opens up one field of
development.
Such experts as Chamberlin look
for the air "flivver" to become popu-
lar. That opens up another field.

writer, describes an air "flivver" re-

Open Your Hearts-and Pocketbooks

IF YOU knew, personally, Of one child whose
faith in Christmas would be shattered by
lack Of food on this most wonderful OF days,
YOU would rush to its rescue.
All Of us would think that there is some
thing lacking in world that has followed
the teachings of love and human brotherhood
for twenty centuries, if it cares nothing for
the happiness Of any child.
If we multiply the picture of hungry, dis
illusioned child by $500, we have photo
graph Of Bicknell, home of a once thriving
coal industry but now impoverished and IN
dire need.
Through The Times, committee OF gen.
erous-hearted citizens is appealing for funds
to relieve not only the suffering OF the chill
dren. not only to restore their faith, but to
relieve situation which must appeal to the
hearts of those not too engrossed in their own
happiness to allow thought to others.
This committee suggests that this is no time
TO delve into the causes which created COM
munity of cherries people. How to restore
prosperity and happiness must be worked out
later. But at Christmas time, there can be no
other thought than of the need, the very
desperate need.
1t would be shame if Indiana went to it's
Christmas dinners and it's fine content with
the thought that there are children, not re-
sponsible for anything that has happened, who
will not be as other children on this day of
days.
The response has been fine and immediate.
But the fund must be much larger if the chill
dren of Bicknell are to have happy instead
of hungry Christmas.
Governor Ed jackson was among the first
to send his personal contribution and appeal
to all citizens to participate in this great
humitarian enterprise.
This is the time when Good Will dominates
the world. 1t is the season when hates and
enmities are forgotten and when mankind
draws a little farther away from jungle rules
and practices. It is a time when the Manger
of Bethlehem becomes the throne of the
world.
Will you not enjoy your own Christmas
dinner just little more if you feel that you
have had part in dispelling the gloom at
Bicknell?
Will not your Christmas be just little
happier if you know that you have brought
smiles to the faces Of little children and joy
into childish hearts?
The need is immediate. It is your oppor-
tunity.
Open your hearts--and your pocketbooks.
Join in this movement to put the spirit of
Christ into Christmas.

LOafing Congressman

1t seems as though We had
enough serious trouble on our
hands, without raking up obscure
details merely to make a fuss.
Average people would be just as
well pleased if public officials, and
especially congressman, we're to
pay more attention to the nations
business and less to each other. If
the nations business does not af-
ford congress enough to think and
talk about it could save money and
confusion by adjourning.
Such offerings as that Of Garner
create the impression that con-
gressmen haven't enough to do, or
that they are wasting time. A good
deal of what they say either does
not amount to anything or obvious
ly is manufactured for use in COM
ing campaigns, while many of the
important questions find them
silent, noncommittal or not even
present.
