The other day dispatches from northern Mex.co stated that the rebels were dissatisfied with the manner in which General Lscobar was leading them against the fed erals. General Escobar's main plan in the campaigns. it seems, has f~en 10 retreat. The discontent, however, seems to have been premature. for now the general has been named "president" Of the rebel republic. Escobar will immediately name a cabinet. Confidence in Escobar seems to remain at what can be termed "a high pitch" but what good does that do under the circumstances?

1 JU STIFIED WARNING TO MEXICAN AIRPIA\ES

To read that American army planes have been concentrated along the Mexican border and ordered 10 shoot down any Mexican plane fly ing north of the international line suggests that the Hoover adminis- tration has lost patience with the Carelessness of Mexican sirmen who have been playing hob with American citizens at Naco and other points. The order is justified by the circumstances. Courteous warnings have heen given. but pleadings seem 10 have no effect with Mexican rebels who either are unable to dis tingulsh the Rio Grande or are un- z Dle to aim bombs at the enemy without exhibiting such poor aim as 10 have them drop several miles to the north into neutral territory.
 The order IS not an act of war Just as neutral ships have the right 10 arm themselves against unwar- rauted attacks. SO q nation has the right 10 protect it's nationals on it's own soil by whatever means lies within Its power, and after due

As a stunt flyer Colonel Lindbergh is in class by himself. There is this a bout it. ho"erer; We wish he wouldn't indulge in that manner. Too many stunt flyers have been killed to make one sael confident that even Lindy has charmed life. The latest episode in the flyers career in this connection shows how he proved 10 doubling Mexican pilots that the airplane they were discus sing was q good plane. Lindy merely overheard them speaking about it and really didn't know whether the plane was good or bad. However, to prove that he thought ii was good plane he took d ride in it. and from this point on the dispatch from Mexico City read as follows;
 He took the airplane ID and handled It perfectly before Feturn- ing to the ground. He then strapped on his parachute and going aloft again, put the hiplane through near ly all the stunts in the book Of aviation. He looped. barrel-rolled flew upside down, climbed almost perpendicularly and for 20 minutes thrilled the field attendants and aVi- ators with his daring flying.
 This was a plane that was a stranger" to Lindy. He might have guessed wrong about it's quality. and then, what would have happened 10 our Lindy?

PENSIONS FOR THE AGED \ GROWING MOVEMENT

nree states were aQ0eQ OuflNG March to the number which have enacted old-age pension laws. These states were Minnesota, Utah and Wyoming. Only the former IS some- hat of an industrial state, and that largely in connection with the flour and foodstuffs industry. But three additions to the growing total of states which see an advantage i'll this type of social welfare legisla- ton comprise nota hle achievement in this cause. The American Associ- atlon for Old Age Security and the Order Of Eagles. which have been foremost in furthering this legisla- ton. are justified al being elsted at the progress.
 Altogether there now are nine states and the territory of Alaska having old-age pension laws. Before the legislatures close their present sessions the prospects are that their number will be still further increas- ed.
 The Connecticut General Assembly has been curiously lnept in its atti- tude toward this humane species of legislation. The suggestion that committee he appointed 10 study the situation was summarily turned IoWn. as If the subject were un- worthy of study. One cannot come to any other conclusion than that there are a lot of petrified minds in the Legislature. Connecticut surely is not so much better off so far as the economic condition of the masses Of the aged is concerned as to waive aside such a reasonab ble proposal. New York, where the parties are more evenly balanced, did what | Connecticut refused Q do: II created a commission to study the subject. Governor Roosevelt strongly backed i the idea and gave cogent reasons for | his position.
 | What Governor Roosevelt said on | the subject. by the way. needs re- beating. Ii answers every point in the discussion:
 New social conditions bring new | ideas Of social responsibility. . We can no longer be satisfied with . the old method of putting the aged away in dismal institutions with the 1 accompanying loss Of self-respect. personality and interest in life. :. | This state abandoned some time ago the principle of institutional care for poor children and adopted the
 method Of helping them in their own homes. Similar provision should be made for old age. Poverty in old age should not be r"carded either as a disgrace or necessarily as result of
 lack Of thrift or energy. Usually it is a mere y-produCt Of modern indus trial life. An alarmlngly increasing number Of aged persons are becom- ing dependent on outside help for
 bare maintenance. While improved
 medical science has increased mans
 span of life, the rapid pace of mod
 ern industry has proportionately in-
 creased the number of years during
 which he is an unsought employe.
 While the worker of today on the
 average may look forward to a long,
 CT life than did his grandfather, he
 must necessarily count on shorter
 period Of industrial availability. No
 greater tragedy exists in modern
 civilization than the aged. wornout
 worker who after 3 life of ceaseless
 effort and useful productivity must
 look forward for his declining years
 to poorhouse. A more modern
 social consciousness demands more
 humane and efficient arrangement. ,
