Race to Rule Skies
BY DAVID DIETZ
Scripps-HoWard Science Editor


NEXT month will see the beginning of the inter-
~ national for Atlantic passenger traf-
fc by airshps when the R100 Great Brtans gigantic
ship, larger than the Graf Zeppelin, makes its flight
from London to Montreal
Experts believe that it will take less than decade
for the to reach the sharpness of the present
competition between nations for steamship traffic
The United States, it is believed, will be in the
within two years.
Although a British dirigible, the RIA, flew from
Pulham to Newfoundland, distance of 1925 miles,
and then back again, in 1919, the world in general
has identified the Zeppelin with Germany.
The Zeppelin a German invention During
the World war, attention focused upon it par
ticularly by German Zeppelin raids London
In 1924 Dr. Hugo Eckener few the zF3 now the
Los Angeles of the United States Navy from Ger
many to LakehurSt DR.. Eckener has made two
round trips from Germany to America in the gigantic
Graf Zeppelin and is trip around the world
in the huge airship.
Great Britain, however, will fling challenge to
German airship supremacy this month when tests of
the great British Ship the RICO, will begin.
Commander G. D. Burney who designed the R100,
says that he expects to set new record with it.

Paying the Piper

No one should be surprised that the
school board paves the way for an increase
in the tax rate for schools to point that
alarms the men who must pay the bills.
1t is still true that those who dance must
pay the piper and the people of Indianapolis
INDUCED four years ago in two-step of hate
and prejudice that turned over the school
system to those who were most patiently in
capable Of managing its important affairs.
The members were selected not because
Of an interest in education or business abil-
ity, but for their hatreds and prejudices.
That they came under the influence,
either internationally or concurrently, of the
Ships and the Collins was inevitable. They
were that type.
Whenever the professional bosses or
manipulators run any part of the govern
ment, that part Immediately becomes very
expensive. That is why manipulators and
bosses take an interest in politics and units
of government. What they grab is added to
the ordinary or usual costs. What their safe
lites take in the way of money that they
could not earn in private jobs mounts up.
Boss government, tricky government,
hate government, costs in dollars.
Of course, as far as the schools are con-
cerned, there has been a greater burden than
that of the money. The system has not
gained by being under the control of forces
that knew nothing of the problems of educa-
ton or the necessities of present day needs.
The picture is being painted in balance
sheets and the people can readily under
stand just what it has cost them to indulge
in the moment Of hate and passion and pref
udice that turned the schools over to hidden
masters.
Just as long. as the people permit the
Ships and the Collins or the COLLINS to run
the schools they can expect to pay and pay
heavily.
1t is t. trimmings that cost, and the
bosses alv add the trimmings.
Perhaps the bosses can win again. They
may be able to divide the good intentioned
and the decent citizens. They may be able
to ride again into power by the usual tricks.
And then, perhaps the movement launched
by citizens to regain control of the school
system for all the people may be too strong
to be defeated by the ordinary trickery.
But the people, thanks to the new budget,
now know what this sort of control costs.
The price is high, and if the Ships and the
Collins continue on the job, it will be higher.

HEALTH SERVICE
Food. Rest, Fresh Air Aid II. B. Fight

The diet must contain all essential
ingredients for building tissue, such
as protein, carbohydrate and fat; it
must have the mineral salts and
the v.tamins that are associated
with good health.
1t must include foods that will
help to regulate bowel action and
make the regular use of laxatives
unnecessary. 1t must have, how
ever. sufficient material to prevent
too active an action of the intestinal
tract
One Of the chief values of the
sanitarium is to teach the patient
the routine facts regarding such
matters as rest, exercise, diet and
fresh air.
It will teach him also how to pre-
vent the contamination of clothing
dishes and other human beings
with the organisms that are in his
body. 1t will teach him his limi-
tations in work ana help to find
work that he can do.
Thus will it have fulfilled a most
useful function and when he is i'm
proved sufficiently to be on his way,
the place he occupied will be filled
by another pupil and he will go out
to help educate the public.

MONTENEGRO KINGDOM
Aug. %

Aug. %
NINETEEN years ago today, on
IN Aug. %, 1910, Montenegro was
proclaimed an independent king
dom, and Prince Nicholas, who had
guided the countrys destinies for
many years, assumed the title OF
king.
Montenegro belonged in the
middle ages to the great Serv1an
kingdom. In ITO the Montenegrins
sought and obtained the protection
of Russia, but in war with Turkey
they became so hard pressed that
they were glad to agree to treaty
in 1862, by which Turkeys SOW
ereignty over Montenegro was rec
ognized.
By the treaty of Berlin, in 1873,
the European powers granted
Montenegro independence, but re-
stricted it from having a navy and
provided its waters be closed to
ships of war Of all nations.
These restrictions were abolished
in 1908 and Montenegro was pro-
claimed a kingdom two years later.
Montenegro is situated IN the
western part Of the Balkan penln-
sula. It is bounded by Servia on
the east. by Albania on the south,
by the Austrian province OF Dali
malta on the west and by Herze-
govina on the north.

A CCORDING to the medical di-
IN rector of the Municipal Tuber-
culosis Sanitarium in Chicago is
would require five times as many
sanitariums as are now available If
every person with active tubercu-
losis we're to be taken care OF in
such an institution.
In 1927 there we're almost 100,-
600 deaths from tuberculosis in the
United States, and on the basis of
five active cases for each death
there would be a half million &C
tive cases of the disease always
among us.
The number of beds available in
sanitariumS for the tuberculosis,
according to a recent study, is Co.
152. 1t is obvious, therefore, that
the vast majority of people with
this disease can not be taken care
of in institutions and that the chief
purpose of the institution may be
to instruct considerable number
of people how to take care OF
themselves at home.

A lust Judge

The state of North Carolina is to be congratulated
on its manner thus far in handling the difficult trial
of the sixteen strikers charged with numbering the
Gastonia police chief.
The textile strike and resulting murder grew out of
conditions of industrial feudaism which disgrace
to that state But for those conditions northern cap
ital and mill owners-those who have gone south pri
mariy in search of cheap labor-are chiefly respon-
sible They also are responsible in the main for the
terrorism and lawlessness which the strikers
victims.
Fortunately the Governor realized that this murder
trial was in danger of becoming another Sacco-Van-
zetti travesty To prevent this he named Superior
Court Judge NJ. v. Barnhill to try the case. Judge
Barnh promptly granted the defense plea for trans
fer of the trial from Gastonia where the accused
might have been tried for their religious and economic
opinions instead of their acts, to Charlotte.
In the opening days Of the trial this week the
Judge repeatedly has sustained efforts to obtain just
procedure.
First the Judge ruled that the prosecution must file
more specific bill of charges. The defense had ar
gued that the charge of conspiracy did not specify
who, where. when or what.
Tuesday the judge said he would Limit the evil
dence to conspiracy about the grounds where the

China and Russia
TURNING from Jerusalem tc

TURNING from Jerusalem to
l. China, the latest news suggests
less likelihood of war.
Not only has the raiding come to
a comparative standstill, but Russia
has offered to open negotiations if
China will consent to the appoint
ment of a new Soviet manager for
the Chinese Eastern railroad, and
China has authorized Hsueh-Liang,
dictator of Manchuria, to meet the
Soviet government half way.
Of these two incidents, the ap-
pointment of new Soviet manager
for the Chinese Eastern is the more
promising, because it would go
farther to clear away the mutual
suspicion and distrust which have
combined to form the chief source
of trouble.

DRESIDENT HOOVER'S IDEA Of
Il turning over some 100000 acres
of public land to the states is more
significant in what it suggests than
in what it mentions.
If, as he thinks, the states can
administer public lands more eco
nomically and effectively than the
federal government, why can't they
do equally well with some other
things?
What about hydro-electric power,
for instance, or prohibition?

They have done both.
But in considering a tariff for the grower of car
rots, it is not necessary to challenge any rights of

it could be pointed out that there is more consolda
ton and therefore cooperation in the pig iron in
dustry.
Machinery has been applied to it in larger meas
ure. smaller percentage of human labor enters into
the pig iron production as compared with the pro-
duction of carrots. The carrot industry never has
been Incorporated at its full cash value nor have any
bonds been issued against it, It has no waered stock
to discount future increment It is not quoted on
the exchange. Not on the curb.
Science, invention, and patents have not been
called upon to expedite and cheaper the production
OF carrots as they have in the of pig IRON Nor
are the marketing conditions similar for the two
products. Pig iron is much less perishible than
rots. Pig iron peddlers scarce as compared with
carrot peddlers
Competition is vastly more competitive in the case
of carrots. Hence prices of carrots are low as COM
