Do They Need More Tariff?

historian taking his material for history of the
United States from the tariff hearings would be us-
fed in painting the years 1928-29 as the starvation
years of American industry.
Witnesses by the score have gone before the con-
gresona committees to paint dire pictures of poverty
and distress in their respective industries would
think that factory chmneys had ceased to smoke and
bread-lines we're forming in the streets.
But the National City bank of New York, which
assuredly can not be an enemy to American industry
paints different view
Massed profits OF $50 industrial corporations for the
first quarter of 1929 it's latest bulletin says exceed by
81 per cent the massed profits Of the period in
1928 That year was in itself record breaker for
corporation prosperity.
Yet adds the bulletin, 1929 promises to exceed 1928
so far that some corporations have in six months
made more money than they made in all 1928, and
scores of leading corporations should set high
earnings records this year And many of the corpora
tons whose earnings records are SO praiseworthy
those making exactly the articles for which they de-
mand higher tariff.

Care Needed in Diet Of Child

of all, that the amounts of the food
given bear some relationship to the
individual requirements and appe-
tite.
The food should be specified to
make sure the child gets enough
of the essential food substances.
DR.. Happ points out that it is
preferable to serve smaller portions
and have them eaten, and then to
give a second helping, than to have
food left on the plate.
The basis of all diets for chill
dren should be one quart Of milk
day. The child from to 4 years
of age may have at breakfast
choice of mashed baked apple, apple
sauce, stewed prunes, banana or
juice of one-half orange.
With this it should get cereal, or
an egg either soft boiled or scram-
bled and occasionally a strip OF
bacon. 1t may have a piece of but
tered toast served with a little jam,
jelly or marnalade and the portion
of milk or cocoa made with milk.
The noon dinner may include
soup, such as vegetable, pea, aspara-
gus, tomato, rice or barley, meats
such as steak veal or lamb chop
or calves liver broiled and finely
divided An egg may be given if

A Wise Procedure

President Hoover has started his federal farm
board to work without emergency orders.
He has called the boad together, emphasized its
responsibilities and left it to the members to work
out their own line of procedure and determine for
themselves wherein relief will be extended first to the
agricultural industry.
The President warns against haste and informs the
farmers no magic wand will be waved and that
miracles will not be accomplished over night.
The Presidents statement will prove disappoint-
rnent to those who want to see the governments
s5oo 600 600 revolving fund used to send wheat and
other markets soaring.
For each would-be Spectator who is disappointed
there are scores who approve the Presidents con-
eatve views and his decision not to force the farm
eoards hand at the start.
The agricultural industry has survived many bad
crop years without farm relief board 1t can srug-
gle along until the board gets to functoning and the
aner the course that is followed the more likelihood OF
real relief in the end.

False Economy

Failure of the park board to press the pur-
chase Of the Fletcher estate for park purposes
will probably one day be regretted, when the
growth Of the city viii demand more public
Fairgrounds for the people, more golf courses,
more public places of healthful amusement.
The offer Of this property to the city by
group Of men who own it jointly was unusual
in its terms They offered it for much smaller
sum than they had been offered by private in
terests which wanted it for speculation or for
bhe playground of private club.
II Just happened that these men believed
that ground valuable for private entertainment
Of exclusive clubs could be better enjoyed by
all the people.
It may be set down as certain that property
which is desired by the very exclusive IS not
too good for all the people.
1t is true that the city has many financial
problems 1t is spending much money for ne
cessities. It has large interest burden on
debts created in the past. But it is also true
that it is false economy to refuse to spend on
projects which will increase the value of all
property and the happiness of all citizens.
The best investment of this city, aside from
its schools. is in its Fairgrounds and its parks.
These make for health They add to enjoy
ment. They foster public pride and better
sentiment on the part of the citizenship toward
all institutions
The city will need more parks as 1t grows.
The chance to get particularly pleasing prop
erty below cost is not frequent. The city as
whole should certainly be as able to afford this
beauty spot as any select group.

these mergers. There is revertng to the out
worn idea that law can stop fundamental move
nent OF economic forces.
Mass production necesstates mergers. Modern
American business requires large credit facilities large
plant and sales equipment, large markets here and
abroad. Therefore in many cases, consolidation of
smaller competing units eliminates economic waste
The problem is to provide sufficient public con-
troll and regulation to prevent such huge combines
from misusing their power
That is highly technical problem 1t involves
overhauling our an.iquaed and ineffective antitrust
legislation 1t requires more than good intentions and
moral indignation against profteers. 1t demands the
best study Of experts, Of jursts. of economists.
If the Hoover administration is wise, it will be
forehanded in this matter It will recognize the grow
ing popular uneasiness over merger developments and
will be ready at the next session of congress with in
tellgent regulave legislation in place of the usual
loud but futile denunciationS

Most OF the processes of change in the universe
rhythmic periodic and lifeprocesses constitute
no exception to the rule"
1t is interesting to note how fundamental rhythm
is in the universe Scholars have frequently attempted
to explain the origin and the appreciation OF poetry
In all probability. the explanation lies here. In
poetry the human mind finds an echo of a funda-
mental characteristic of life itself.
second point of interest in connection with this
sixth characteristic of life is that while it is charac
terstic OF life it is not unique in living organisms.
1t is to be found in the circling of the planets
around the and in the circng of invisible cleo
irons around the nuclei Of atoms.
The change of the seasons from cold to warm and
back again to cold. the cycle Of rain, from ground
water TO cloud and back again to the surface of the
earth-these and many other processes are similar to
the cycles in the living organism
In fact it is probably true that the living organ
ism goes through cycles because is formed physica lily
from the chemical elements which exist every
where else in the universe.
Rhythmicity probably has its beginnings in the
atom. In the atom, there is play of forces between
electrons. We do not know enough about the nucleus
of atom to know exactly what occurs in the nu-
ceus But since the nucleus consists Of both positive
and negative electrons. there is play of force
According to the Bohr theory. negative electrons
reyove around the nucleus in both circles and epses
According to the Enstein equations an electron in
eliptical orbit changes its weight mass with its
speed
These rhythms in the atom are the beginning of
other rhythmic processes since everything in the uni
verse is built up of atoms.

Harvesting Merger Power

Between demagogues and the lobbyists, neither
the government nor the public is getting very far
with the hot debate over mergers. Hardly week

trial or financial consolidation electric power, banks,
automobiles textiles. coal chemicals, STEEL food radio,
communications. aviation. ana so and on.
Every time there is a merger some politician arises
with new cry of down-with- the trusts. But the
trusts only grin at that-they have been busted be-
fore and thrived il.

the child has not had egg for
breakfast.
The vegetables at noon may in
clude choice of string or butter
beans, carrots, green peas, spinach,
tomatoes, summer squash, cauli-
flower, turnips, parsnips, celery,
asparagus tips, young beets, cab
bage and lettuce. The second vege-
table then may be potato, spaghetti
or macaroni. Then the child may
have a piece of bread and butter
and some simple desert.
During the afternoon some or
ange juice diluted with water may
be taken, or a glass of milk or
matted milk may be given.
The supper for the child from 2
to years of age will include cereal
as in the morning, or one or two
vegetables if these we're not given
at noon.
The supper may be supplemented
with custard or gelatine, or baked
apple, or baked banana or apple
sauce, some bread and butter and
some milk.
On this diet the child will re-
ceive proper amounts of proteins
carbohydrates and fats, mineral
salts and all Of the necessary vita
Minis to insure proper growth.

THIS being an afternoon tradi-
l. tionally devoted to books and
authors I may be permitted to tell
Of my wild excursion with Charlie
Memo. That is almost nothing like
his name, but he does write novels,
and anything about him can be
squeezed in under the head Of lit
erary criticism.
We were rowing on Hale lake
midway between Pickerel point and
the Great Sedge field when 1 be-
gan to notice that our boat was
leaking badly.
I'VE are sinking" I said simply,
and Charlie Memo, who was at the
oars, blanched palpably.
At the point where the disaster
occurred it is possible to see the
shore on either side in clear
weather.

Strikes Right Note

II SOON learned that my knowledge
Il of human psychology was prov
ing very useful in the crisis, I had
struck the right note at last. In
time of stress it is we'll to appeal
to the elf-interest of the individual.
BY praising Nemo's novel (Which I
was able to do in all sincerity l
had given him something to live for.
He rowed much harder now than
during the time I had talked to
him Of my own books and my BEN
evolent intentions toward posterity.
BY standing up I was able to
keep my knees above water In his
role of oarsman, Charlie was re-
stricted to sitting posture and he
was pretty nearly awash by this
time.
Still, what with the exercise and
my judicious praise of his novels and
one thing and another, there was in
his heart a glow which kept him
warm enough for all practical pur-
poses.

Constructive Flying

ONE turns with relief to the con-
~ structiye side of aviation, to the
worthwhile solid work being done
in an organized way, to the rapid
extension of service not only in this
country, but throughout the world.
Within the last few weeks, three
trans-continental lines have been
started.
Today mail service begins between
Panama and Chile, which in con-
nection with that already estab-
lished between Florida and Panama
and New York and Florida, forms
the longest mail route in the world
5000 miles of as rough country
and as rough sea as the most dare
devil spirit could wish.

Premium on Dust

VIOLET rays are being used to
v determine the age, and, there
fore, the authenticity Of certain
works of art.
That is very interesting, especially
to dealers.
Art, as connmercialized by dealers,
has become too much a matter Of
age and authenticity.
How old it is and who did it is
more important than what it repre-
sents by way of work, or genius.
The premium put on dust has
done more than anything else to dis
courage art for the present genera
ton.
When a market depends on an
tioue, it leaves little room for the
living, except as imitators.

for the location Of the federal

TINE developing intestinal tract

ent type of food than can be put
into the well-developed tissues OF
the adult.

be a little man or woman that far
too often the beginnings Of gas

Radio Market

DOCTOR killed of the depart

interesting figures with regard to
radio.
There now are 100 broadcasting
stations, he says, 600 Of them in the
United States, and the remaining
500 in foreign countries.
He estimates that nothing less
than one billion people are within
range of these stations, and would
be listening in if they had receiving
sets.
The fact that nine-tenths Of them
are without receiving sets opens up
a tremendous market.
