Ortiz RuhiO Escapes

Americans join with President Hoover in congrat-
ulating Ortiz Rubio in escaping assassination two
hours after his Inauguration president of Mexico.
There is fundamental feeling of friendship in this
country for Mexico It existed to stay the hands of
the Coolidge administration when intervention was
planned 1t exists today, no less alive that the
Washington government happily reflects that attitude
of cooperation toward the southern neighbor.
More than anything else, the American government
and people now desire peace for Mexico. They well
coined the peaceful transition from the Calles-G to
the Ortiz Rubio administration, and the continuity of
constructive policy which that implied.
That explains the sincere CONSERVATION in Wash
ington, and elsewhere in this country over the first
dispatches of the attempted assassination in Mexico
City. 1t explains the great relief when later news
brought that the president had been wound
ed only slightly.
Doubtless Ortiz Rubio's humane wisdom can be
trusted to prevent the kind of mistaken patriotic ex
ceSSeS and retaliation which sometimes shake coun-
try frightened by denented terrorist

tive effect of radiation on wounds
can not be regarded as proved, but
that the good results reported can
not be disregarded.
It must be remembered that our
knowledge of methods of producing
ultraviolet rays artifcially is quite
recent and that the scientific work
as to its value for various conditions
must be repeated on a large scale
over many years before a certain
answer can be given as to- just how
important artificial radiation may
be for the improvement of human
health and life.
The questions of dosage have not
been absolutely established. There
are all sorts of apparatus on the
market and one must keep in mind

paratus in evaluating the results,

DICKENS BIRTH

Feb.
ON Feb. 7, 1912, Charles Dickens.
W English novelist, was born at
Landport, England.
The Dickens family was so poor
that the father was jailed for a
debt, and the family went to live
with him in prison.
By a fortunate legacy received
soon after the Incarceration, Charles
was enabled to attend private
schools.
His education, however, was not a
thorough one, and he gained most of
his learning by home reading and
by contact with life itself.
After a period of reporting In the
courts and in the house of commons
Dickens began in the Monthly Mag
azine series of essays and tales,
collected and published in 1886 I'M
der the title Sketches by Boz" The
success of this venture encouraged
Dickens to write further.
Some CT his most famous works
are: "Oliver Twist" Nicholas Mic
kleby," Tale of Two Cities" "a
Christmas Carol" "Pickwick Pa
pers," Great Expectations" and
David Copperfeld."
In "Oliver Twist" Dickens ex-
posed the warehouses and city con-
ditionS which led children Of the
poor into crime.
I'm Nicholas Nickleby," the author
aimed at the wrongs and cruelties
inflicted by cheap schoolmasters on
their pupils. Both these books are
among the first of the social novels

tious diseases, and they are not at
all convinced that it is capable of
increasing the natural resistance to
disease in normal people.
Such controlled experiments as
have been conducted on human be-
ings indicate that radiation treat
ment did not have any definite
effect in reducing the incidence of
coughs and colds.
Apparently the chief effect of the
radiation was to aid growth of the
body, and particularly to prevent
ricketts,.
It has been thought that the use
of the light on wounds would aid
their healing and good deal of
work has been done in this direc-
ton.

evidence by DR., E. M. Clausen points

few things for a cleaner and bet

ashes, old auto parts and other
things, not counting garbage. AS /

trash to dispose Of he has to pay to
dump it in one of our city dumps.
Some, rather than pay, dump it
along the highways, which doesn't
look very attractive coming into the

Haunting

CTEWART has written such q
~ scene. 1t has a haunting night

enlists an excellent performance by
Hope Williams and a superb one

A girl is waiting for a telephone
call from the man she loves, and
he does not call. She has to sit
and wait, and talk of water pitchers.
Even though there are no labels, I
can assure the critics that it isn't
funny.

brings his comedy to the edge of

And it is most poignant when she
does not cry out.

A Real Anniversary

This CITY has many anniversaries WHICH
It celebrates in pride and thanhulness' tne
bir+hdavs of those who served the nation
and humanity well, of soldiers and OF states
men who won glory and gratitude, OF poets
who wrote songs that are immortal, authors
whose messages remain for the ages.
Today is a different sort of an annlVer-
sarv. It is the birthday anniversary OF an
idea which became an impulse; an impulse
that became a great movement.
On the evening of Feb. 7, 1904, the Eng
Gsh onera house was crowded. Those who
assembled belonged to the lodge OF Eagles
The speaker was young professor from
Notre Dame. notable chiefly as being the
first Protestant to hold such a position IN
that university. Otto De Luse had found
him at South Bend and been Impressed by
his oratorical charm.
He did not suspect that the event was to
make history.
It was on that night that Frank Z. Her
ing, in burst of oratory, traced all the
goodness of men to mother love, all the ad-
vancement Of civilization to the sacrifices OF
motherhood, all the hopes of the future to
the influence of mothers.
He urged that in every Eagles lodge one
day be set aside each year in which men
would remember their mothers and in that
memory, lift themselves from sordid thought
to higher planes of action.
The idea caught and held attention. 1t
was an appeal to something fundamental.
It tapped the wells of all inspiration.
So it happened that in many Eagles
lodges long before Mothers day became
national institution, programs each year
were held to honor the mothers OF men,
The idea that found expression in the Eng
fish theater had become movement.
When, a few years ago, the American
War Mothers became interested IN tracing
the origin of this national anniversary, they
searched the records. Others claimed recog-
milton to this honor. But the War Mothers,
one of the few bodies chartered by congress,
decided that Frank E. Herring was the real
father of Mothers day.
Last fall they sent committee to his
home in South Bend to pin upon his breast
their medal of honor, awarded to but three
others. all from military life. His is the
only award to a civilian.
An idea once started, does not die. 1t
grows. Out of it, almost as corollary,
came the national crusade by the Eagles for
old age pensions, crusade that has resulted
in such laws in several states and seems
fated to become a law, sooner or later, in all
states.
Without Mothers day, and the sentiment
Il brings to the surface in mems hearts, the
old age pension movement might never have
appeared.
From that same Mothers day, there can
bS predicted other movements that will seek
to soften the burden of sacrifice, that Will
remove the menace of heartbreak and woe,
that will rob motherhood of much OF Its
sorrow and leave it only its glory.
It is well to remember anniversaries,
especially of imperishable ideas. 1t is also
well for Indianapolis to remember, in pride,
that with her other contributions to progress
and civilization, it furnished the birthplace
for a great idea from which has come better
things for all.

That is as 1t should be.
Children have plenty Of time for

Amusing

TINE situation grows d little
comic. Is the supreme court
to be a sort of revolving door? How
many legs does the court have to
win before it gets permanent pos
session of Hughes?
Rather more serious is the posi-
ton of Hughes in respect to public
utilities. I do not believe that q
lawyer should refuse all cases ex-
cept those in which his personal
convictions are enlisted.
It was quite possible to make a
good argument in favor of an in
creased fare for the subway. AS 1t
happened, that drawn up by
Hughes was not good enough. But,
good or bad, the position of counsel
for the I. R. T. enlists an individual
against the public interests.
If a rehearing of any phase OF
that case comes before the court,
I assume that Hughes will not sit.
Still, his status as chief justice can
not fail to exert a subtle influence
over the deliberations of his asso-
ciates.

T CAN not share In the general
L enthusiasm over the appointment
of Charles Evan Hughes as chief
Justice of the supreme court. Presl-
dent Hoover is not liberal, and 1t
would be asking too much to expect
him to choose some one who might
be counted upon to strengthen the
eloquent dissents of Holmes and
BrandeiS and Stone.
But even from the standpoint OF
conservative opinion, the appoint
ment is unfortunate.
Hughes did radical thing when
he resigned from the supreme bench
to run for President. He was hal l.
" criticised at the time by those
who felt that there should be
something of monasticism about our
highest court. 1t seemed to me le-
gitimate for Hughes to quit, but 1
think it is mistake to put him
back again.

Chicago stands forth as the
worlds most shining example of The
impotence of assassination.
Not that murder is without de-
moralizing effect, but that those

communities can be terrorized by 1t
are the most mistaken people in the
world.

Chicago has continued to flourish,
in spite of the beer war, the ma
chine guns, and the apparent
breakdown of law enforcement.
Few people stayed away from the
town on that account, and fewer
still moved away.
But this inability to pay municipal
employees, especially school teach
ers; this desperate effort to hook
tax warrants; this admission Of a
floating debt which could not be
wiped out in three years, even if all
the taxes were used for that pur-
pose, is likely to have a more dis
couraging effect.

NEW ammunition in the war
~ against the dread disease OF
cancer has been furnished In an
anonymous gift of $4,000 to the
cancer research fund Of the Gradu-
ate School Of Medicine Of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania.
Receipts of the gift was an
nounced by DR.. Josiah H. Penni-
man, provost of the university.
Equipment Of new cancer clinic
is planned as a result.
Because of the strange nature OF
cancer, medical authorities have felt
that the disease could be attacked
successfully only through a joint
offensive, representing the forces of
physics and chemistry as well as
biology and medicine.
This is because a cancer, as nearly
as now can be aScertained, repre-
sents an abnormal condition in
which cells of the body begin to
grow wild and without restraint. At
the same time, certain important
changes begin to take place in the
cells themselves.
1T has been realized for some
time that progress in cancer re-
search work depends upon associs-
ton of the physician, the biologist
and the chemist and upon the close
cooperation of related clinics and
laboratories" Dr. Pennimsn said in
announcing the gift.
To-day, as a result Of the gener-
Gus support which has just been
given us, We have been placed in q
position to carry on the cancer re-
search work along these broad CO.
operative lines to an extent which
heretofore was impossible"
