Estimate of Census
For Chicago Region

From the Canton Daily News.
Chicago is pushing New York, latest
population estimates of the @Chicago
Regional Planning Association indicate,
for metropolitan -eminence. Chicago
itself is expected to begin 1929 with a
total of three millions two hundred and
sixty thousand inhabitants. THE Chi
cago region" comprising fifteen coun-
ties ''centering about the city," will
have approximately four million nine
hundred and thirty thousand popula-
ton at the first of the year. The city
with its immediate environs thus nears
the flve-million mark.
Naturally the association Is enterpris-
ing in its claims. New Workers wonder
II fifteen counties is not an overly gen.
erouS area to include a Chicago re-
gion." But the estimate for the city
proper checks reasonably with feder-
alton census figures. Chicago is grow
ing rapidly, spite of its unsavory repu-
ton for gun play and lawleSSneSS.
Philadelphia. long way behind Chi
cago, still hangs onto third place by
lowering about the two-million mark.
The automobile industry is an tmpor-
tant factor in boosting Detroit into the
fourth-place ranking with figure of
one million five hundred thousand.
New York Is in no danger, OF course,
of being overtaken or even approached.
Including its suburban region" it
counts an aggregate of approximately
ten million souls-just twice as many
as the most generous allowance credits
to Chicago. But Chicago. as Chi
cagoanS and visitors will readily tell
you. is not to be sneered at. Only New
York surpasses it. Any community into
which millions of human beings are
damned Is bound to be impressive and
inspiring as spectacle, even though
one might not care to live In it.

A MARTYR of Science.

Few men of our time have been
ushered by death into a more secure
immortality than DR.. Joseph Gold
berger. With the passing of the con-
queror of pellagra at the Naval Hospital
this morning the curtain falls on the
last act of one of the outstanding dra-
matte episodes of science. The services
to humanity OF this Austrian immi-
grant. always undertaken at the risk
of his own life, hardly can be overesd-
mated
Humanity is advancing along far
flung battle line. It mans its trenches
in a narrow zone of dusk and starlight.
Before 1t is the vast expanse of black
darkness which conceals the ernny.
From behind the dark there comes a
perpetual barrage from the guns Of an
unseen enemy. We do not know the
nature of the creatures we are fighting
They may be dwarfs or giants. The
imagination hardly can go astray in
endowing them with the most fantastic
and terrible forms.
Now and then a volunteer creeps into
the dark with flashlight, and some
times he returns with information re-
garding the nature and distribution of
the foe which enables mankind to push
forward its twilight zone o few inches
Often enough he does not return at ALL
or comes back so badly wounded that
he dies. He risks capture and execu-
ton by q merciless enemy, who Is with
out conscience or honor.
Such a man was Goldberger. All his
life he has been a volunteer scout in
this eternal battle with disease. Once
he contracted typhoid fever in his ex-
periments. A few years later he fell a
victim to yellow fever-the same which
few months ago took the life of the
heroic Japanese-American scientist.
Noguchi. Then he was captured by the
mysterious organisms of dengue fever
Undeterred by all these experiences, he
volunteered for service on the pellagra
front and performed the most notable
exploits of his life. He discovered the
cause Of this dread disease, which
brings not only death, but madness, to
thousands of persons scattered over a
wide area of the United States.
Then he fell final victim to some
mysterious malady in some way asso-
ciated with pellagra. The forces Of the
dark have won a notable victory.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
BY FREDERIC J. HAsKIN.

sumo the enormous quantity that IL
made?--T. M NICK.
A. It is estimated. that 40 900 burn

carded every minute, amounting to
O,O00,00o,OOO year :
@. Why is Colorado called the Cen

Army was the greatest winner OF oil tn
that struggle.
Now come these present troubles, in
cident to the decadence of the physical
and, some aver, the mental vigor OF the
leader. There are again signs OF family
differences. But evidently beyond this
factor of personality there is dispose
ton on the part Of the high council
to effect q change and to prevent the
weakening of the Army's influence ana
the lessening of Its value through quar-
rels and factionism. 1t is difficult to
believe that there will be any diminu-
ton of the Army's prestige, whatever
course the aged leader. now deposed,
may take. The wise counsels that have
led this remarkable body Of men and
women through the decades to its pres
emit high place will surely prevail to
effect its reorganization in the spirit
of Him in whose name 1t carries on for
the welfare Of humanity.

Run to Wrong Goal
Blamed on Climate
From the Chicago Daily Tribune.

From the Chicago Daily Tribune.
1t has been suggested that a foot ball
center If he found an opportunity TO
carry the ball might easily get started
for the wrong goal line. Most of The
time when he is handling the ball he
Is sending it In the direction 1t Is not
intended ultimately to go. Whatever
happened in the mind of the California
boy, he made a famous play in that 60
yard run to his own line with the speed
lest California back in vain pursuit of
him.
Sympathetic persons are sorry for
him and he is probably tragic holiday
figure. but it may be hoped that life
still will contain bright moments for
him. 1t may not seem possible now. but
there can be hope. That exhausting
run lost his game. It allowed Georgia
Tech to get the two points it needed to
win. Later in life the boy might have
made a fool of himself on the stock
market and lost a fine inheritance, he
might have ruined himself and his fam
lily in almost any conceivable way and
not have found 1t such tragedy. Foot
ball Is life's most serious adventure.
Possibly 1t Is overrated as SUCH but
there is no use in telling youth that.
In this case the boy is a fine player.
We think in spite of the present gloomy
outlook there is chance that so ex-
traordinary a play will come to be re-
garded for its true worth, one of the
most amazing. comical and enjoyable
stunts that the exciting game ever
knew, one which enriches its history
with classic example of humor The
boy who contributed 1t in the fashion
he did with mighty determination to
succeed in doing the worst thing that
could possibly be done should earn his
own special place in the record. We
hope he gets as much fun out of it in a
day or two or month or two as all the
other people.
It may be attributed to the climate.
1t couldn't happen elsewhere, but in
California all things are possible, par
ticularly in Los Angeles.

Older Children Creep
to Cure Spine Troubles
BY =. 2. FREE. PH. ID,

Glasses of older children creeping
back and forth across the floor like
young babies, all at the commands Of a
gymnasium instructor, is the latest in
stance Of the Creeping cure" now being
tried out extensively at st. Johns Hos
pital at Spandau Germany, for the
treatment of disease of the spine-a
method developed by Prof. Rudolf
Knapp of Marburg University.
The usual treatment for the COM
monest kinds of spinal disease in chill
dren Is to require the wearing of Jackets
or braces to hold the bent or twisted
spine in it's proper position. FIRE.
quently this requires the unfortunate
little patient to lie continually in bed
or on a reclining chair. Such complete
lack of exercise is bad, Prof. Knapp be-
lieves, even for the diseased spine it
self, still more so for the body as a
whole. For this reason he has devised
his creeping exercises, in which the
children, with spinal braces or without
them, as each case may require, are
encouraged to creep about on their
hands and knees or on all tours, like a
running dog. Thus the necessary stiff
ening and stretching of the diseased
spine can be combined, he believes, with
sufficient exercise for the body in gen.
eral and with special exercises devised
to strengthen just the muscles most
needed to support the weakened spine.

A Contribution to National Welfare

A Contribution to National WeI1are
In his appeal to the Democrats Of
the country to make good the deficit
of the national committee. amounting
to some million and half Of dollars,
former Gov. Smith puts the case OF the
Democracy upon a. strictly business
basis. His talk over the radio last night,
in a Nationwide hook-up, proved
somewhat of a disappointment, mas
much as he stressed chiefly the fiscal
aspect of the party's situation. There
was no pyrotechnic display. There was
no hint regarding future friction as
to the party leadership. There was
the expected reference to the mag
nitude of the vote cast in November for
the Democratic ticket, and attention
was called to the fact that the margin
of loss had diminished since 1924, &C
cording to a certain way of figuring.
The burden of Gov. Smiths talk
his old familiar title must serve for
a while despite the fact that he Is no
longer Governors that party that
polls IS, 500, 900 votes is very much alive
and is worth maintaining, and that it
must be made solvent. OF course, the
late candidate knows that it is terribly
hard to pay for dead horses. He knows,
perhaps as we'll as anybody, that tho
hardest debt to liouidate is an old CAM
paign debt, especially when the CAM
paign has been lost.
With a gesture that means more,
perhaps. than many will be inclined 10
think. Gov. Smith makes the first con-
tribution to the redemption fund. 1t
is not in cash, directly, but it may
be said to have cash value. 1t con-
sists In the royalty rights to his own
speeches delivered during the recent
campaign. He has been beSought by
many persons for copies Of these adj
dresses, and he believes, doubtless with
justification, that there is a large public
demand for them. Rather than take
profit unto himself, while his, party
is in a financial hole, he will subscribe
his speeches to the fund. They will
be printed and sold at the rate Of two
dollars q copy-that is to say, each
subscriber of two dollars or more to
the fund will receive a copy Of the
speeches as premium.
There should be no doubt o! the
outcome of this appeal. Surely there
are 100000 Democrats in the country
who think two dollars worth of Gov
Smiths speeches. It Is to be hoped
that the deficit win be fully subscribed;
that indeed 1t will be oversubscribed.
For, as every commentator on the cleo
ton has remarked, the country needs
a strong opposition major political
party. No party can be strong If it is
handicapped by debt. Gov. Smith,
who is in effect starting life anew Upon
his emergence from Office, makes there
fore q contribution to the national
welfare when he foregoes his royalties
on his speeches and offers them upon
the altar of his party. 80

Children Now Taught
Spelling ON Typewriter
From the Atlanta Journal.

From the Atlanta Journal.
Handwriting soon will be spoken of
gently as one of the lost arts and ex-
perts will be needed to decipher the
curious script of the early twentieth
century If all schools adopt the policy
of the Horace Mann School at Column
bia University, where typeWriters have
been installed for elementary grades.
Already the typewriter has replaced the
pen for multifariouS uses, though most
of us, having learned once to scrawl in
longhand, can still produce semi-legible
words and sign our names at need.
Colored typewriters have crept into the
home, and vari-hued machines adorn
miladys desk.
These were signals of what was to
come Now the typewriter has appeared
in the primary classroom. What does
it mean? Is "cat" spelled easier upon
a machine than with yellow pencil?
Enthusiastic advocates of the expert
ment say use of the typewriter will SIM
plify for youngsters their mastery of
the three RS" That result is not
obvious. The machines may help with
two of them, but arithmetic, we think,
will remain for some time mystery
not solvable upon the typewriter Per-
hapS adding machines Will follow writ
ing machines into the classroom, so
that all computation will become for
little folk matter of striking the right
key
Educational advantages to one side,
this innovation ID certain to please the
small beneflciaries. Whether you write
or not,r you get shoals of fun out of
striking typewriter keys when you are 6.
Imagine room full of first-graders, all
given the signal to go with shiny new
machine in front of each one-a ma
chine that registers a satisfactory stac-
cato click with every stroke and rings
sharp bell at the end of the line and
makes pleasant black figures upon a
field of white which you insert on a
smooth roller. Such a machine might
or might not spell "cat" like pencil
That wouldn't. to the operators, greatly
matter. A pencil lit has always been

Niagara Power War
Renewal Is Expected

From the Louisville Times.
The New York Centrals alleged cleo
trification plan, contemplating use of

make further inroads upon the water
of Niagara Falls for power.
Under what conditions the New York
Central would get the power-whether
wholly from current already created
is not stated in the New York dis
patches But recent rumors and an
nouncements will, no doubt, put new
vim into the war which has been for
many years waged to prevent the ruin
of Niagara.
Power companies have had the eff

destruction of the most profitable

to New York State $50000,000 year In

Bankruptcy Receiverships

When short time ago a New York
lawyer who had for some time acted
as receiver in bankruptcy cases disap-
peared and left heavy deficits, both In
his bankruptcy charges and in funds
Entrusted to him by clients for invest
ment, the Federal Court of that juris-
diction undertook an inquiry into the
general question of receiverships and
ascertained that there was an astonish-
ing degree Of looseness in the admins
tration of these responsibilities. The Sc
lection of receivers in bankruptcy. 1t ap-
peared, was matter of political favor.
Attaches of the court were active in
promoting the interests of a certain
group of attorneys in the distribution
OF these prizes. Supervision of the &C.
counts had become lax. The routine of
examination and approval by the court
had become so slack as to constitute
virtually no check whatever upon pecu-
lation and fraud.
A grand jury inquiry was started and
several indictments were returned
quickly, with others in view. Meanwhile
the fugitive had passed beyond ken,
leaving great number of wailing cli-
ents, whose money had passed through
his pockets, presumably into the hop
pers of the speculative stock market A
Federal Court employe, close associate
~ h1 yr1icc{V1n Cd a. a.,
when about to be questioned by the dis
trict attorney, later giving valuable In
formation regarding the working of the
scheme by which receivers In bank
ruptcy were chosen. Yesterday the court
made a sweeping reform in the matter
naming one of the larger trust COM
panies of New York as receiver in al
Federal bankruptcy cases in that juris-
diction, thus putting an end to political
influences and placing the whole bust
ness, which amounts to many million:
annually, upon surely dependable
basis.
This affair illustrates the manner ir
which even the most reliable institu'
tions can become debased and corrupt
It is evident that during long perioe
no particular attention was paid Il
these matters by the court. Receiver.
were named in good faith, but withou
adequate inquiry into character ane
qualifications. Reports were turned oyel
in perfunctory manner and approved IL
passing. Judges, intent upon question:
