REASON By Ff aAaDis

WYE should rejoice that Indiana unversity's foot
w tall team recently overwhelmed Northwestern,
since that victory set free from hairy bondage those
audacious sons of Old l. u. who vowed to take their
countenances out of circulation until the Cream and
Crimson should float in triumph above the mangled
wreckage OF gridiron foe
We trembled for those Hoosier students, for we
realized the peril which threatened them; renen1-
bered valiant partisans of past political campaigns
who pledged themselves to let their hanging baskets
go untrimmed until their favorites elected many
of them being doomed to go through life with their
alfalfa done up in clothes pins.
Had Indianas sons rendered hrsute homage to
their alma mater some forty years ago. conditions
would have been reversed; they would have avowed
to the until their athletes brought the
bacon. for In those days youth went into ambush
early, never to emerge.
Just glance at the old family album
TINE child Of the eighties seldom If his
l. fathers face. all he behed being the bullrushes
in which he dwelt and so to such a child his father
always seemed an old man
Living all his adult days in shadows that father
assumed a sonlber aspect. slapped him on
the back and called him "Old BEAM
The American people were in the open when they
started as nation, there being no foliage whatever
in the Revolutionary
Not one nlustache accused King George of tyranny;
not one pair of sidehuTns complained of taxation
without representation; not single set of whiskers
signed the Declaration of Independence!
We remained open and above board until long after
the turn of the century, there being privet what
ever about the vestbules of Presidents from
Washington to Buchanan Then all at once the
American people plunged into the everglades there to
wander in darkness until little while ago.

1t was one Of the greatest mistakes he made

Who Shall Criticise

Three Communists have been convicted under the
Ohio criminal syndicalsm law and face sentences OF
ten years in prison and fine of $5000 Press reports
state that they were accused of distributing ltera-
ture attacking the Kellogg peace treaty, the League
of Nations, the recent disarmament congress-.
This form of recreation would appear to be the
sort of thing In which the most respectable Americans
indulge in, season and out with no sense OF wrong
doing and no threat of punishment.
The Kellogg treaty, rightly wrongly, has been
assaulted Justify by senator's militariss and liberals
The League of Nations has been rejected by majority
opinion in the United States as registered through
congressional vote and through the implications OF
the popular vote in the presidential campaign of 1920
Disarmament is the target for scores of denuncia-
tons daily by the believers in the efficacy of armed
forces Criticism of congress never has been more
widespread or intense than during the last few
months All the ideas and institutions questioned
by the Communists in this have come in for
sharp criticism during conventions of the American
Legion.
The Ohio conviction comes down essentially to
the contention that what group with one label may
say with impunity-ndeed with brisk public approval
becomes a felony when propounded by group with
a different label.
not the label of the group expressing the sentiment
at issue
This Ohio case involves more than test of free
speech It is an issue of equality before the law,
irrespective Of class or party The fundamentals of
democratic government not the validity of group
opinion, are really at stake.

lust a Reminder

CITY managers Of nearly three hundred
cities are meeting in convention TINS week.
discussing the problems that arse IN the
MANAGEMENT of city business, comparing the
conditions in big cities with those IN small
ones and planning schools for training youths
in the technical tasks of government.
The people will remember the reason Tor
the absence from that meeting OF city
manager for Indianapolis.
They should not forget the long struggle
to overthrow partisan government and abol-
ish party politics from city affairs and its
tragic fate.
They can learn from this gathering that
the supreme courts of at least twenty-five
states found no limitation upon civil rights
in the establishment of this form of govern
ment. And when twenty-five supreme courts
assent to system, it can be taken for grant
cd that it does not contain much that IS
foreign to Americanism.
In Indiana the supreme court stepped IN
at most significant moment and declared
the law as passed by the legislature was un~
constitutional and So for at least four years,
the old system will prevail in every city of
the state.
1t is doubtful, of course, whether any law
passed by the legislature would have been
held to be within the Constitution. That is
conjecture however. What is certain is that
very good lawyers who had examined the
matter declared that the law contained no de-
fects and that the three judges who rem
dered the decision were wrong in reasoning
and more than wrong in their conclusions.
The only happy people were professional
politicians. One set of politicians is not so
happy now. They discovered that the people
decided that those who had fought the city
manager law should no longer be trusted to
run the city affairs.
However, it was system and not merely
one set of politicians at which the city man.
ager law was aimed. That system is con-
slant invitation to partisan favoritism gov
aernment. The people understand that.
That invitation and constant threat must
: be removed. When the legislature meets
again, the law should be re-enacted. When a
new supreme court is elected, that court
should be remodeled and remade.

device effectively, had he been
called upon to be himself in a play.
John Barrymore once made a
similar complaint. He said that IN
life, when deeply swayed by an
emotion, he liked to open window
and lean out. Yet, when he tried
to work this bit of business into a
play, the audience laughed heartily
and in the wrong place.
never have taken much stock
in those tales of the ingenue who
went to live in an east side tene-
ment for two months to get the
proper background for her forth
coming appearance in Nellie, the
Wage Slave"
Acting isn't like that. Reality
may have nothing on earth to do
with it. A piece of business may
seem to me or to you utterly in
adequate for the emotion which the
actress is trying to project.
That doesn't make it bad per-
Torrance. The actress may be able
to re-educate the spectators, to de-
ceive and bamboozle them in such
way that they accept her piece Of
business as chip from the eternal
YeritieS.

Casualties on the Booze Front

Jane Adams recent suggestion that what pro-
hbition needs most Of all is disarmament is given
special point by recent report Of the Association
Against the Prohibition Amendment This asserts that
more than 1000 men have been slain thus far in the
attempt to enforce the eighteenth Amendment
1t is interesting to compare this mortality list with
the casualties in one of most dramatic wars,
namely, the Spanish American war. Here the total
number of killed in the American armies 279 and
the wounded 1865. In the navy 16 killed and SO
wounded. In other words the mortality in this
coorful conflict less than half that in the pro-
hibition experiment to date.
Yet it was war Of sufficient proportions to put
Theodore Roosevelt in the White House the basis
of the lingering luster of his military prowess 1t
also would have landed Admiral Dewey there if he
had been fortunate enough to have had proper political
advice and management.
If death gives the status of warfare, then 1t is
apparent that state Of exists in the United
States of America name must be forthcoming.

Stepdaughters of the American Revolution

The turmoil within the ranks of the Daughters of
the American Revolution has resulted in many
merry clash In recent years and has provided much
good copy for the press The high-lght of the con-
fict has been the duel between Mrs Helen Tufts
Baie. leader of the liberal revolt in the ranks and
Mrs Alfred Brosseau president of the organization
and generalisSmo of the conservative majority.
Mrs Bae, who expelled from the D. A. r..
now has published the documentary record of her
case in a brochure entitled Perverted Patriotism:
Story of D. A. r. Stewardship"
The personal aspects of the controversy and the
internal policies and politics of the organization may
be left wholly aside. The deeper issues matter
of interest and import. to all Americans.
The Daughters of the American Revolution derive
their special prestige and power from the assumption
that they represent the physical and spiritual descend
ants of the men who effected our separation from
England and established our federal republic.
The validity of their claim to physical descent
from the Fathers may be conceded without argument
In any event. it is matter for genealogical rather
than editorial investigation AS to the logic and
purity of their spiritual lineage, grave doubt has
arisen of late.
1t is clear that they can invoke the prestige of the
founding Fathers only If they substantially represent
the spirit of the revolutionary age and perpetuate its
ideals.
There can be no doubt that the majority of the
organization have forfeited their heritage and do not
speak the language Of 1776 The evidence of their
earnest consorting with persons like Fred Marvin of
the Key Men of America-recently heavily penalized
for his libelling of Madame Schwimmer-H. A Jung
of the American Vigilant Intelligence Federation;
Joseph eastman of the National Security League;
Ralph Easey of the National Civic Federation Lobby
list Shearer and Mrs. Robinson of the Massachusetts,
Public Interests League, is simply overwhelming and
incontrovertible.
Now Messrs Marvin Easlev eastman Jung ct al
are scarcely who would have made congenia bed
fellows for Thomas jefferson or Benjamin Franklin
or even for Alexander Hamilton or John Adams for
that matter. The D. A. R., far from promoting and
encouraging the spirit Of freedom progress and indie
pendence-to say nothing of revolt-has become the
most active proponents of extreme reaction among the
important women's organizations of the county.

TT SEEMS TO ME By H4 BRoUT

THERE has been a great deal OF
l. good acting going around on the
New York stage this season, and
whenever I see a fine performance
I always am moved to wonder just
how it's done.
The actor generally tries to put
you off with that old gag about feel
ing the part. I'm skeptical. That
might do for one performance, but
you can't convince me that Miss
Helen Morgan in sweet Adeline"
is going to feel heartbroken about
her lovers walking out on her all
through the second year OF the run
If it were actually necessary for
the player to register deep down
into his boots the emotion he con-
veys, there would be naught but
nervous wrecks along Broadway.
There was a young woman of my
acquaintance who played. the role
of a young girl beguiled and be-
trayed by a villain. She played 1t
for 300 nights, and showed no Ill
effects at the end of that time.
Obviously, she could not have
committed her emotional nature
wholly to the circumference OF the
comedy, for no one can be ruined
as much as that without becoming
little haggard.

Need Steady Pull

VXTHAT we need is a steady, con-
w structive, purposeful attitude,
and we need it not only in the work
shop and the salesroom, but in daily
conversation. The overdose of OPP
tinlism from which we suffered last
summer would only be made worse
by an overdose of pessimism now.
The idea of betting on futures,
whether from the bull or bear
standpoint, should be laid aside.
The countrys cue is to quit gam
bling and go to work.
Thus far we have weathered the
storm in stocks very comfortably,
but it was a bad storm, just the
same-bad not only in the paper
profits it wiped out, but in psyche
logical effect.
Thousands upon thousands OF peo-
pie who were walking on air two
months ago find themselves pretty
blue, now that they are back on the
ground.
With less, but still considerable
number, the question is, when do
we eat?"
All of which represents Just one
more obstacle to be overcome, just
one more reason why legitimate
business should keep up its morale.

beyond the door he will find himself
in an age more than 100 years later.
And for this purpose he has in
vented curious gait.
Although I never have seen a man
keeping rendezvous across a CEN
tury, was convinced that he would
walk in just that way.
Too many directors make the mis-
take of assuming that it is possible
to say, Here is the one and only
fitting gesture for this particular
character in this particular scene"
Acting is an art, but it must pro-
gress largely after the manner in
which a science moves forward.
Only by trial and error can its
canons be established.
And once canon has been estab-
lished, the very best thing to be
done with it is to toss it out the
window and begin experimenting all
over again.

Eyes Reveal Extent of Skull Injury

Changeability in the size and out
line Of the pupils Of the eye is usu-
ally the SIN most frequently seen
in fractures of the skull.
AS the patient RECEIVERS, the abil-
ity of the pupils to dilate and to
contract in the usual manner is one
of the earliest signs of recovery.
These things can be easily seen
by any one on inspection. However,
other changes occur which are not
so easily determinable by the aver
age man, but which the trained
physician can determine by the use
of the opthalmoscope, an instru-
ment with which he can see the
retina back of the eye.
Under such circumstances he can
detect areas of Inflammation and
Of degeneration, areas in which the
tissues have been blocked by the
flowing in of blood and similar
changes.

The Stretch-Out System

Any labor device intended to increase production
by speeding up already overworked factory employees
can be expected to create dissatisfaction.
In the southern textile industry report by the
United States labor department shows introduction of
the strech-out system not only has caused dissatis
faction, but in instances is increasing costs of
production.
This stretch-out system is said to be the basis Of
most of the strikes and industrial disorders in North
Carolina. 1t consists in dividing work between spin
ners and cleaners and in making them tend more
machinery. While automatic devices cut down
labor II generally is admitted that the amount Of
work required from each employe is increased.
The net result has been a larger labor turnover,

XX7HILE the task OF maintaining
w business is essentially eco
nomic, it has political aspect.
Europe is watching America with
the hope, if not the conviction, that
we have overplayed our hands, and
that the slump in Wall Street was
merely a forecast of worse to come.
British and French newspapers
already have published lurid &C
counts of suicide and bankruptcy,

tell an even direful tale.
1t is their game to create lack of
confidence in American business,
not only among their own people,
but among us.

Recently DR.. George A. Blakesley

A study of the eye of a patient

how much damage has been done to

Ford Has the Key

a MOTHER thing We must keep IN
IA mind is that wealth is dynamic.
Prosperity, like progress depends
on movement.
We can not keep the people at
work without continuing to produce.
and we can not continue to produce
unless each and every one Of us does
his share Of the buying.
Henry Ford put his finger on the
crux of the problem when he said
that our greatest danger lay in ex-
hausted buying power.
This is no time to get cold feet,
to curtail, to retrench, because Of
what we think may happen"
While unnecessary risks should
be avoided, so should unnecessary
fears.
1t would be undesirable. of course,
for people to buy beyond their
means, for stores to overstock, or Tor
manufacturers to produce beyond a
demand reasonable to expect.
1t would be even more undesirable,
however, to do the other thing.

Nitrogen

A MOTHER important "air indus
L a try" is based on the nitrogen
of the atmosphere. Nitrogen is one
of the important constituents OF
living things. All plants must have
nitrogen to live.
But unfortunately, plants can not
utilize the nitrogen of the amos
phere. The nitrogen first must be
converted into compounds, or nj
trates. which are soluble in water.
Then the plant can absorb them
through its roots.
Certain bacteria have the ability
to fix" or turn nitrogen into nj
trates. These bacteria live on the
roots of clover and that is why
farmers periodically plant field in
clover. 1t helps restore the nitrates
Of the soil.
Until recently, the trainers were
chiefly dependent upon nitrates i'm
ported from the nitrate deposits
which occur in Chile. This also was
true of the industries which re-
CURED nitrates.
However, nitrogen fixing processes
have been developed and nitrogen
fixing has become an important in
dustry both in the United States
and Europe.
Argon has also become the basis
of an industry. The electric light
bulbs now are filled with argon. It
has been found that, because this
gas is chemically inert, it prolongs
the life of the filaments.
Helium has also become of COM
mercial imp -rtance. However, there
is so little helium in air that its
extraction is not yet practical.

SCIENCE
Development of Industries
out of Air Is One Of the
Romantic Chapters IN the
History Of Chemistry.
By DAVID DIETZ-

TINE magician amuSes and as
Il tounds us by apparently mate
rializing rabbits and pigeons out Of
thin air. But We realize that the
magician is only fooling us and so
many maxims have grown up about
the inability to make money or any,
thing else out Of thin air.
The modern chemist, however, has
gone the traditional magician one
better, and today a great many val
liable products which yield very
real and very large profit in money
are made literally out Of air.
The development of these indus
tries out of air is one of the ro-
mantle chapters in the history Of
chemistry.
1t is only about $50 years since
mankind began to have any true
understanding of the nature of the
atmosphere. A complete UNDER
standing of the constitution Of air
is only thirty years old.
Consequently the air industries"
are all to be classed among the
miracles Of the twentieth century.
In 1772, Carl Scheele, a Swedish
chemist, showed that there we're
two chief constituents of air. These
we're then known as phlogisticated
and dephlogisticated air. Today We
call them nitrogen and oxygen.
In 1894 Lord Rayleigh and Sir
William Ramsay showed that an
other gas was associated with the
nitrogen and the atmosphere. This
was named argon. In 1898, Ramsay
discovered four more gases, helium,
neon, krypton and Xenon.
