Dying for Dear Old

TINE larger group which sits in
Il the stands is not much better
off. At a word from duly con-
stituted authority (symbolized by a
man with a megaphone) two or
three thousand human beings merge
themselves into a single unit.
When the cheer leader indicates
that "Rah" is in order each last man
jack Of the 1000 says "Rah."
No wonder there are so many Re-
publicans in the United States. And
at another appointed signal the
supernumeraries raise handkerchiefs
aloft and beat time so that the
effect from across the field is that
of giant "Y," or "H'' or "P.''
And all this is very pretty and en-
tertaining, but do believe that the
ready and enthusiastic surrender Of
individuality into college patriotism
is false and pernicious practice.
If the D. A. r. wants to do a use
full missionary work, let the organi
cation urge redder teachers in the
hope of creating less standardized
student body.
If the D. A. r. will play with me
in the matter I will gladly join in a
campaign to urge students at foot
ball games to cheer when the spirit
moves them and at no other time
whatsoever.

US. Hospital Facilities Increasing

not infrequently the demand Is SO
much ggreater than the supply that
it is difficult to get suitable accom-
modations. The reasons for this
are many.
The public as we'll as the med
ical profession knows that the
hospital can provide many Of the
refnements of modern diagnosis
and treatment that are not avail
able in the home or even in we'll
equipped physicians offices.
Modern living conditions in apart
mentS are such that it is difficult
to carry along a sick person with
out completely upsetting the es-
Enlistment. Surgery can be done
properly, of course, only under hos
pital conditions.
There has seemed to be some
what too great a tendency to hos
pitalize medical cases. The advan-
tages of easy access to a physician
in time of emergency and of modern
laboratory study are not to be
weighed too lightly, however.

Disarmament Delay

After all the cheering over the kellogg pact In
which the nations agreed to renounce war as an stru-
ment of national policy, the common people can't I'M
derstand why the governments do not go ahead and
limit ornaments Hence the encouragement and I'M
patience which greets the do-nothng preparatory dis
armament commission meeting again in Geneva
Reduced to simplest terms. there are Two reasons
why disarmament is making Roadway in the world
one is the determination of France to maintain vlrtu-
ali military hegemony Germany and the rest OF
Europe The other is the failure OF the United States
and Great Britain 70 find formula for cruiser hli-
tation.
These two factors interlock. To obtain French
support against the United States in the Anglo
American naval argument. Great Britain recently re-

A MOTHER constitutional amend

A MOTHER constitutional amend
n nent is necessary-the sugges-
ton comes from William j. Rooney
AS soon as possible let the organic
law of the country contain the pro-
vision that the Vice-PreSident OF
the United States must have wife.
This seems much the simplest Solu-
ton of the great Gam war.
Quite irrelevantly the public is a
most curious creature in regard to
certain literary matters. There has
been great animus on the part OF
many readers because not all the
facts in Joan Lowell's Cradle OF
the Deep" are true. People object
that if the autobiography is fiction
lied at all it might as well be a
novel.

Unemployment Guessing

If We are to attempt to solve the problem of Amer
icas army of obless those who undertake the task
must know how many are out of work and why.
Our experts think" that production is outpacng
consumption that industries are powered to pro-
duce more than we need and that even with ncreas-
ing production and consumption machines are doing
50 much more work that men are losing their jobs
to the machines
But don't know. and While may lay our
hands upon the thing that needs to be done, it is
possible that until We do know our remedies will be
futile.
Therefore the proposals which have been made by
Senator Couzens CMich) who has studied the prob
lem as chairman of the senate education and labor
committee, and Others that the bureau take
census of unemployment along with its 1880 general
census should be carried out The bureau should be
given sufficient money and authority to do the job
thoroughly
In this way We can find definite answers to ques-
tons which now can be answered only vaguely Many
folks who have jobs apply to public and private labor
agencies because they want better ones. Are they
"unemployed?" Others, either through necessity or
desire drift hither and thher over the face of the
country.
John Jones, ironworker of Muskegon, Mich. may
go to Houston for Job instead of finding the one
which may be at hand in Muskegon or Detroit.
How many wives are working to support jobless
husbands? How many men, evidence is that they
numerous, being cut loose at 40 to so, because
ployers think they too old? If So do they finally
find work, and what is it? What is the actual effect
Of the energetic efforts of many corporations to sabi
lie their own pay rolls?
Lastly, machines taking mems bread or are
their former tenders being utilized in some other way?
We should have an answer to these questions in
1881. and the special session should help find the
answer by appropriate amendments to the census bill

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

One of these three factors, or all
three of them, must be concerned
in the increasing use of hospitals
by the public.
During 1928, according to avail
able records, 736,321 infants made
their first announcements to the
world within hospital walls. An
average of 702, 1888 older persons were
in the hospitals as patients each
day.
AS the physicians of the country
increase their demands on hospit-
ais for both medical and surgical
care OF patients, more and more
physicians are becoming associated
with the hospitals.
Thus 77,514 attending physicians
utilized the hospitals. There are
6,825 hospitals worthy of recognt-
ton in our country and these pro-
vide beds and bassinets amounting
to 936.247.

hospital for a room realizes that

One More Head

There can be nothing but approval and applause
for Governor Leslie for his action removing the
brother of former Governor Jackson from the head
of the state institution for the of eebeinded
youth

itself scandal He without training for
the place and far Is known without any special
interest in the care of these unfortunates He was
Just given a Job by his brother Who thanks to the
statute OF limitations able to serve out the term
of Office
During his campaign Governor Leslie promised
house cleaning. In the coming clean up and
paint up week many parts of the state govern
ment need attention.
The removal of the brother of Jackson recognizes
the faults of his predecessor His viewpoint on pub
lie Office was bad. 1t was not confined to this glazing
piece of neopotism.
Having rid his government OF the brother OF
jackson Leslie might prohtably go farther and get
rid OF others who we're powerful in the Jackson
regime.

An Amazing Doctrine

DHILIP SNOWDEN, labor mem
Il Der of parliament, would like to
see the debt agreement scrapped.
He calls the Belfour note, by
which this agreement was con-
firmed, Infamous and declares
that the labor party would re-
pudiate it if circumstances per-
mitted.
Not only that, but he puts him
self on record as believing that one
party is not obligated to carry out
the commitments of another, and
that a change of party permits. a
government to repudiate its con-
tracts.
If that is not the scrap Of paper"
doctrine, what is it?

Treaty. Is a Treaty

TINE debt agreement to which
Il Philip Snowden refers was a
sort of round table affair. 1t not
only included a settlement between
England and the United tSates, but
among England, France, Italy and
Belgium.
The gist of it was that England
would not ask more of her European
debtors than she paid the United
States.
Since her European debtors owed
her more than she owed us, this
meant that she had agreed to a ma
terial reduction for them while
getting none for herself
The labor party, according to
Philip SnoWden, views such a bar
gain as unfair and would go back on
it, if possible.
The bargain has been made, how
ever, and if a treaty is treaty, an
international contract is contract.

PAUL REvERE's RIDE

PAUL Kew hE > MIL
April Is
r 1STEN, my children, and YOU
- shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul
Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in
seventy-fiye;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day
and year.
He said to his friend, IF the British
march
Bv land or sea from the town to-
night
Hang a lantern aloft in the beltry
arch
Of the North Church tower as a
signal light
One if by land, and two If by sea,
And on the opposite shore shall b..
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesez village
and farm
For the country folk to be up and
to arm.
n
So through the night rode Paul
Revere;
And so through the night went his
cry of alarm
To every Nfiddlesex village and
farm
A cry of defiance and not OF fear,
A voice in the darkness, a knock
at the door,
And a word that shall echo for
evermore!
For, borne on the night wind Of
the Past,
Through all our history, to the last,
In the hour of darkness and peril
and need,
The people will Waken and listen TO
hear
The hurrying hoof-beats of that
steed,
And the midnight message Of Paul
Revere

Mexico Uses Temperance

DRESIDENT PORT7ES GIL calls
l. on Mexico to go dry" He calls
on her to do so, however, through
education, not by law.
That is the kind of temperance
in which We used to believe.
More than that, it is the only
kind that ever made Roadway.
For the twenty years preceding
prohibition. temperance clearly was
growing in these United States.
Just before his death. Colonel
Henry Waterson wrote a series of
articles telling how definitely the
consumption Of liquor had decreased
at all social functions during his
lifetime.
Temperance rapidly was becoming
habit when We adopted the eight
zenith amendment and Volstead act.
Who can say how far 1t would
have gone had it been let alone?

Children Not to Blame

EIFTY-SIX parents are arrested

police roundup IN connection with
c,ildren's wild parties.
That is beginning at the right end
of the line.
Children do not throw wild parties
unless their parents are willing, or
have set the example.
The thought that folks under Is
are responsible for bad conditions,
II that they could be, is absurd, yet
great many people have fallen
for it.
What ails this generation Is the
parent who does not care.

ONE of the most remarkable phe-
~ nomena i'll the development
of the care of the sick in the United
States has been the increase in the
number of hospitals.
Less than a decade ago--ln 1920
there was one hospital bed for
community use for every $40 per-
sons in the United States. In 1923
the number of hospitals had in
creased so greatly that there was
one bed for each 270 persons, and
during this period there was OF
course an increase in population. In
the advance of disqualification there
have been certain trends that are
of great interest.
Babies like to be born in hos
pitfalls, or mothers like to have their
babies in hospitals, or doctors like
to have mothers have their babies
in hospitals.
