Labor and the Candidates

The American Federation of Labor has found little
to choose between Herbert Hoover and Alfred Smith
and so declares program of neutrality in the pres-
dental race. This seems a sound decision.
Both candidates have given, through their long
careers convincing evidence of their sympathy with
labors aspirations. Neither be expected to sug-
gest unfair unfriendly legislation, so far as labor
is concerned and neither is likely to oppose or veto
legislation designed to meet labors fair demands.
BY taking this course the A. F. of L. keeps itself
free to fight for the election of its friends to Con-
gress and it knows that these friends are in both
parties The very heart of abors hopes in Congress,
indeed, lies in that group of Republicans commonly
called progressive, or insurgent, or independent.
So little however, have party labels come 70 mean
in this respect that now hear some Democrats in
the Senate and House called progressives to disn-
guish them from the majority of their party col
leagues The labor forces make this distinction and
in so doing reveal their wisdom.

Breeding Trouble

Coercion, suppression and force have al
ways been the most successful trouble breed
ers, especially in this country with tradition
Of resentment against such methods.
The courts will decide, of course, whether
the men who passed out cards to street car
workers announcing meeting of proposed
union are guilty of any crime
But it would be exceedingly unfortunate if
there should be any widespread suspicion that
the real offense was not against the ordinances
regulating the distribution Of cards but
against the street car company which does not
desire it's employees to organize.
The right of collective bargaining is too
firmly established in principle to be denied in
any part of this country. 1t has been Endorsed
by every President from Mckinley to Coolidge
and written into law by the Supreme Court.
Whether it be the best or most effective way
of obtaining fair wages and decent working
conditions may be matter of opinion. There
should be, especially in public utilities, some
way in which those employed could easily en-
force by public opinion and through public
agencies fair and decent treatment.
If the police are finally impressed with the
idea that distribution of cards announcing
more or less public meetings is crime, they
will have many things to explain.
Within week, within block of the police
station, there has been public distribution of
cards announcing the gathering of the old
hooded order of hate at the very hour named
for the meeting of the car workers.
Just why the police show great vigilance to-
ward street car employees and considerable SYM
pathy for the purveyors of prejudice is at least
matter of public curiosity.
The oppressive tactics of the police two
years ago in repeatedly arresting men who
were trying to organize the street car employees
had much more to do with whatever progress
they made than did the arguments of the or
ganizers.
The semblance of any use of power to in
terfere with firmly established rights is about
the best and quickest invitation to trouble that
can be issued
And this city does not want trouble of any
kind or sortsand surely is big enough and wise
enough to see that it is not brought by any
unWise use of power.

More and Better Policemen

More and better policemen are urged in report
by subcommittee of the Baumes Crime Commission
of New York
Undoubtedly improved training methods to e1uip
policemen for their work would aid in curbng crime
The public expects much of the average patrolman
without due regard for the many-sided nature of
his work the difficulties under which he labors
Coupled with this attitude is a general lack of
respect for the dignity of his occupation The public
too often regards a policeman as a necessary evil
when matter Of fact he is a valuable and
highly necessary public servant.
However, the law itself is responsible for many
of the polcemans troubles. Sumptuary legislation
has multiplied and complicated his duties and a
disproportionate amount Of his time and energy is
expended in the routine and wearisome task of en-
forcing traffic regulations.
Your real policeman does not much care about
ransackng private home in search of home brew,
or arrestng motorists.
BY all means educate the policeman for his work
1t will encourage higher standards of and per-
Torrance; but in the meantime, relieve him Of the
stigma of being snoop and let him direct his activ
tiles against those who actually against society

Foreign Vote" to Split

How is the so-called foreign vote" of the United
States going to go in the coming presidential election?
There are approximately 100000 naturaized voters
in the country If they all went way they might
easily have decisive influence the election. What's
going to happen?
The answer apparently, is that their vote will be
split regardless of their nationaties just like the
vote of native-born citizens The Foreign Language
Information Service recently reviewed editorial COM
ment in several hundred foreign-language news
papers printed in this country
It could find group that was anything like
unanimous either candidate and it concludes that
there is not only lack of unity of opinion between
the various racial groups but each group to be
split within ITSELF"

Nordics and Others

Our pet Nordic notion that inherently SUI

Jamestown Institute of Politics. when professor by
the Celtic name of Mackenzie declared it is based
wholly on conceit.
This is sad blow to our racial self-esteem. The
fable of Nordic supremacy has been Rugged to our
bosoms in the comforting, il unjuSthed conviction
that we belong by inheritance to specially favored
portion of the human race.
The Nordic, declares Prof Mackenzie, simply got

Europe Is Air-AmbitiouS

The same economic slant that
makes our industrial leaders and
f1nanciers indifferent to shipping
makes them Indifferent to aviation.
1t is rooted in the notion that so
long as business is good here we
need not worry how it is anywhere
else, and that no matter how much
we buy and sell, it is all right for
other people to carry the freight.
European nations are taking up
international air traffic with a vim,
while we are satisfied to watch the
experiments and applaud the stunts.
An English firm is building two
giant dirigibles for trans-oceanic
trade and a German firm eight
monster airplanes. These are but
two Of the many examples that
might be cited to show Europe's de-
termination to take advantage of
an obviously new and important
field.

NXTHEN DIR. JOHN ROACH
w STRATON described Governor
Smith as "tne deadliest foe in Amer
lea today of moral progress and
true political wisdom" he probably
Gid not expect the latter would de-
mand permission to appear in his
pulpit and argue the point.
When Governor Smith demanded
such permission, he probably did not
expect DR.. Straton would come back
with the suggestion that the debate
be staged in Madison Square Gar
den and then repeated in half a
dozen Southern cities.
Governor Smith says he has no
intention of starting hippodrome,
which is something he should have
thought of before. DR.. Straton says
he wants room for everybody to see
and hear, which is something he
may have thought Of before.

Bridge Play
Made Easy
BY W. W. WENTWORTH

Authorizations: A--ace; K-klng; O.
queen; Jack; X-any card lower
TINE principle of unlocking also
l. applies to the declarer's OPP
ponents. It's use by them is not
quite so obvious, however, because
they do not see each others hands,
whereas the declarer does see his
partners hand, which is the dunn
my.
Examine the following illustration
in which the declaration is no
trump:
East holds the spade King. West
leads the spade Queen. In all prob
ability, west holds touching honors
for he would otherwise lead the
fourth from the top of his longest
and strongest suit.
The spade Ace is almost certain
to be either in the dummy or in
the declarer's hand. East should
play the spade King regardless of
what card is played from the dunn
my. Otherwise, the spade suit is
blocked and east cannot return the
lead thereafter.
Added illustrations with the dec
laration no trump follow:
West leads the heart. Ace. East
holds heart King 2.
East should play the heart King.
IOtherwise he will block partners
suit. The opening lead Of an Ace
at no trump calls for partners high
est card. 1t indicates that east
holds other honors,
West leads tho diamond King,
then the diamond Ace, next the
diamond Queen.
East holds the Jack 9 7 3 of dia-
monds.
The first lead of the diamond
King indicates that west also holds
the diamond Ace. East should play
the diamond 7, an encouraging card
The second lead of the diamond
Ace indicates that west holds addi-
tional cards in the diamond suit
East should play the diamond 9.
On the third lead of the diamond
Queen, east should play the dia-
mond Jack. Otherwise he will block
the suit.

ENGLISH Justice

There is this much to be said in
favor of English law. 1t is not
built on one way rules. When it
makes a mistake, it is willing to pay,
as is illustrated in the Slater case.
Slater was convicted Of numbering
an old woman twenty years ago, and
pardoned after he had served eight
cen years of a life sentence.
In this country we would have
said, our mistake, good-by." The
English government was not content
with that, however, but handed him
$50 900 by way of recompense.
This item should be pasted up in
every court room in the United
States and put on the desk of every
law maker. 1t represents a concep-
ton Of fair play that we need to
acquire.

disks of bone removed from them. Sometimes one
skull will have five six round little holes in it.
Many careful studies have been made of these I'M
usual skulls These include studies by Paul Broca the
famous surgeon and anatomist, and M. Lucas Cham
pionn1ere.
The studies show concusively that these disks were
removed from the skulls while the persons Were alive
Careful examination of any skull reveals that the
holes were not drilled at the same time but over
period of years This be told from the difference
in the appearance of the holes
These holes were made in the skulls of living per-
sons to cure them Of headachesI
The general idea was that headaches were caused
by which had gotten into the afflicted persons

Trephining is the technical name used to describe
the practice
Broca suggests that the trephinng was done by
scratching scraping. Lucas Championniere thinks
that it done by drilling circle of tiny holes with
flint instruments.
Some skulls show traces of such tiny holes.
Trephinng was also used as cure for epilepsy
commissions and similar Affections.

A MONG the strange fallacies as
IN ISOLATED with the teeth, as has
been pointed out by DR.. w. NJ. Gard
ner in Hygeia, the health maya
zine, is the notion that baby teeth
do not require attention because
they will be lost anyway.
The fact of the matter is that
unduly early loss Of the baby teeth
will cause a deficient development
Of the jaw.
This undeveloped Jaw will not
permit the new and permanent
teeth to come in properly; they will
be crowded and irregular.
Teeth that are crowded and ir-
regular decay easily and the result
is the general distortion and dis
fgurement Of the lower half Of the
face.
In the care Of the baby teeth
small cavities should be filled as
soon as they are discovered. Every
child should be taken to the den
fist, beginning at least with the
third year.
DR.. Gardner also emphasizes that
infection Of baby tooth with irri-
tation and pain to the nerve in
huences the temper of the child and
is likely to affect his character
AS a rule, the baby teeth are in
position before the child is 3 years
of age. Teeth coming in after the
third year are Of the permanent set.

When does the blue crab reach
maturity and what are their habits?
Blue crabs reach maturity in
from twelve to fourteen months and
live three or four years. These crabs
can divert@ themselves of claws or
other appendages in order to escape
enemies, and they have the power
Of regenerating new ones.
Does France pay a pension to
mothers of small children? Is there
any such pension in Australia?
In Australia every child born en-
titles the mother, regardless of
wealth or station, to a sum from
public funds, toward the cost Of
the child's birth. The government
of France gives to every mother who
nurses her own child a monthly
pension during the first year of the
child's life.
Is it correct to call the flag of
the United States the American
flag?
American means of or pertaining
to the American continent. Speci-
fically it refers to the United States
and hence it is correct to speak of
the American flag" Any one liv-
ing in either of the Americas is
technically an American, but the
term usually refers to citizens Of
the United States.

What proportion of students in
American colleges are partially or
wholly self supporting?
A total of $25,5OO,OOo was earned
last year by students of 408 colleges
and universities in the United
States. OF the entire enrolment in
these institutions, 80 per cent were
partially or wholly self-supporting,
according to a recent study by the
United States Bureau of Education
to determine the extent of self-help
in higher institutions of learning. A
third of the students in mems COL
leges and a sixth of the students
in women's colleges are earning at
least part of their expenses.
