General Allen, P~eacemaker

Some years ago the most popular man in the
Rhineland was a tall and genial general. It was
just after the armistice, when officers were not ropu-
lar in Germany. And this particular general, besides
belonging to a disliked profession, also happened to
be in command of an alien army of occupation, one
of the most hated jobs in the world.
Nevertheless, he won the respect, even the love, of
the defeated Germans. When his government decided
to withdraw that alien army, the Germans asked that
he and his troops remain.
So there is something symbolic in that Major-Gen-
eral Henry T. Allen should have died quietly and
naturally while visiting his friends Of the German
embassy outside of Washington.
Any officer might be proud of his military record
from his days at West Point down to his command
in the World war. But he was not satisfied with that
record in action, and other military incidents, such
as organizing the Philippine constabulary and the
permanent army general staff system in Washington.
Always, especially in later years, he was drawn
toward service and leadership with the forces OF in
ternational friendship. He was a peacemaker between
allied and German authorities in the Rhineland.
He organized the American committee for relief OF
German children. He helped to bring a wiser and
iuster reparations settlement.
Then he turned to work for the outlaWry OF war
He was one of the unofficial ~initiators of the project
which later became the kellogg anti-war pact.
General Allen was a great soldier, more interested
in peace than in war.

PeOnage Still

One section of southern Indiana cele-
brates the accomplishments of one member
of the highway commission, presumably for
his influence in obtaining more than a pro-
portionate share Of paved roads for his home
bailiwick.
It is unfortunate that on Labor day a
different sort of celebration could not have
been held, a celebration Of the end of peon-
age and the slavish wages on public works.
While the celebration was goin on, men
were working seven days a week on public
roads for a wage that offers barely an exist
ence for a family.
The highway commission sometime ago
deplored the practice of these contractors IN
cutting wages to the point Of peonage. But
the contractors do not seem to mind. Perhaps
their knowledge of the commission leads them
to believe that the members were not so very
much in earnest. They have not discovered
that any one was penalized.
The payment of low wages, long hours,
and s~even-day work weeks on public projects
furnish the most infamous of anti-soclal pic
lures produced by any state. In many re-
bpects it is a worse condition than slavery.
The owners of slaves were compelled to feed
their chattels. There was no endless supply
of humans to take their places if they suf-
fered from overwOrk and lack of food.
The whole theory of President Hoover,
when he called the Governors to conference,
was hat public works would be started In
times of depression in order to reduce unem-
ployment. He had no purpose of giving
contractors high profits through wage cut
ting. There was the presumption that at
least a living wage would be paid.
In this state, the whole road program has
been turned into a saturnalia for %contrac-
tors. There was no attempt made to con-
troll the wage paid. AS a result, despite ex-
posture and protest, the practice of peonage
still continues.
The Governor, who pledged whole-heart-
ed cooperation to the national plan of re-
ducing unemployment by public projects,
should replace his highway commission i'm
mediately with members who have some
regard for the rights of those who work
upon the roads.
Peonage is not likely to prove popular in
Indiana.

Crime? You haven't seen anything yet.
With repeal comes the deluge.
Every man-jack of them will go straight back to
his routine criminality the moment the booze bank
roll terminates. with repeal"
In support of his thesis, Sullivan cites the cpl
demic of gigantic crimes which swept over the country
after the stock crash of last fall destroyed the liquor
market for a time. Whether this is convincing proof
or not, we are willing to concede that Sullivan has in
general made out a strong, logical case.
Undoubtedly the old c~ategories and methods of
criminality have passed. The really serious types of
crime today are the organized depredations of we'll
disciplined and deliberately equipped criminal gangs
An avalanche Of crime is likely to come after re-
peal. 1t even may come before. The methods of
the liquor r~acketeers can be applied ~lsewhere, but
a certain number can exploit the liquor trade. But
only when the deluge comes it may bring with it SO
determined q social reaction as 10 produce its own
remedy.
The only effective check we can think of in this
regard would be to turn cur cities over for the time
being to the United States army and marines, who
are relatively incorruptfble. After all, Chicago is a
better place for our marines to be saving the nation
than the jungles of Nicaragua.
Indeed, the orgy of post-repeal crime might not
only promote the checking of the crime menace, but
also solve at one and the same time our diplomatic
relations with Central America.
Under such conditions as Sullivan predicts, the
bankers and investors would prefer to see the marines
patroling American streets.

Obesity Often Puzzle to Physicians

has to look into the family habits,
particularly the diet. He has to
make tests of the rate at which the
body consumes it's food and digests
it.
He tests the activity of the various
glands and he attempts to estimate
for the particular person what
might be called the ideal weight
for health.
Various formulas have been esti-
mated as to what is the ideal
weight. One formula says that the
normal weight in kilograms equals
the height in cubic centimeterS,
minus 100. A kilogram is 1000
grams, and a pound is 480 grams.
An inch is equal to 2.54 cubic CEN
timeters. A man who is 10 cubic
centimeters tall, or 5 feet 7 inches.
should weigh ITO minus 100 kilo-
grams, or seventy Kilograms, which
is about lac pounds.
1t is possible in this way fol
any n to estimate what should be
his normal weight. Such averages
are based on the examination Of
tremendous numbers of people who
have applied for life insurance.
AS a result of these examinations
physicians are inclined to accept as
normal any deviations which do not
exceed 10 or Is per cent.
When a person is Is per cent
above the normal weight, as calcu-
lated by this method, he can be con-
sidered as overweight.
Even then, however, it is neces-
sary to take into account the racia.
type and the family type of person
concerned.

Crime and Rackets After Repeal

Mister, you amt seen no crime yeti" Such is
the theme of a striking article by Edward Dean
sullivan in the August Red Book, entitled "Racketeers
and Crime-After Repeal" This is not reasslring
news after the New York kilograms exposure of the
murder scandals in New York City.
AS author Of Rafting the Cup on Chicago
Crime and a crime reporter of twenty-five years
experience, Sullivan is we'll equipped to discuss
crime, racketeering and prohibition.
His argument is that prohibition gave the crooks
their chance just when organized crime was begin
ming to get on its feet in the United States. The
methods of organization were perfected in bootleg
cling, hijacking and liquor rackets. Today these
criminal industries in the liquor racket do a $s,OOo,-
100000 business yearly-one Of the greatest OF Amerl-
can industrial enterprises.
VIII the Capones ct al. go into the manufactpr-
ing Of Sunday school leaflets or toy balloons after
prohibition repeal? Sullivan thinks not. He be-
lieves that once We get repeal or serious modification,
so that liquor may be purchased legally, the under
world Of alcoholic enterprise will return at once to
conventional crimes on 8 grand scale.
We then shall witness an orgy Of crime the like of
which the world never has yet beheld. The old mas
ters of the bootlegging regime will apply to robbery

Quired in more than a decade of experience under the

TN the disease condition called
Il obesity, the human being stores
up surplus material taken in the
form of food instead of eliminating
it so as to maintain the body weight
at normal for the particular age
and height.
People who eat too much, exer-
else too little, and who eat partic-
ularly large amounts of rich foods
+ bound to put on weight.
Children in such families acquire
the bad habits from their parents,
and the tendency to overweight be-
comes established People in desk
jobs tend to overweight.
Due to constant pressure on the
regulating mechanism, it may
break down after a certain amount
Of time and thus establish a vicious
circle.
There is a considerable number
of people whose glands are disor-
dered in some fashion so as to in
terfere greatly with their regula-
ton of body weight.
Just as there are thin people who
eat tremendous quantities of food
and still remain thin, so also there
are fat people who eat very small
quantities of food and continue to
put on weight.
This form of obesity is not under
stood. There is some abnormality
in the mechanism of the persons
