Rheumatic Fever May Run in Family

matte patients developed the dis
ease.
These statistics would seem to
answer also to some extent the
argument that the environment Of
the child is important, since all Of
the children lived under the same
environment, had about the same
amount of maternal care and home
comfort, the same diet, the same
hereditary predispoSition, and had
been exposed to about the same risk
of infection.
Among the children studied there
were eight pairs of twins and in
not single instance did both twins
develop the disease. In only six
families did both father mother re-
port that they themselves had Suf-
fered with rheumatism when young.
There seems to be slight evidence
in favor of the view that juvenile
rheumatism occurs more frequently
in certain families than in others.
Indeed, the evidence seems to be
just about sufficient to cause the
family and the physician to arrange
for a very careful study of all chill
dren in the family, in case any one
of them develops symptoms of rheu-
matism.

Is It True. Mr.. President?

Is the President responsible for blocking passage
of the Wagner unemployment bills? That charge is
made freely in congress.
1t seems inconceivable that these conservative and
generally accepted measures, which embody recon-
mendatiOns of four Hoover commissions during the
eight years. should be killed by the who
really inspired them.
It seems even inconceivable that any Presi-
dent under any circumstances would prevent enact
ment of unemployment legislation when from three
to five million men are begging for the right to work
which is denied them
But some powerful influence somewhere has de-
layed house action these bills passed by the senate
We can not believe that the fact the bills carry the
name of Democrat is the reason, as charged that
the house committee just has sdetracked of these
bills and emasculated another.
clear nevertheless that the house has the idea
that the President wants the bills killed. and that
nothing short of frank White House statement can
save this tremendously important legislation before
congress adjourns.

Of the 400 families investigated,
there were 2,156 children and of the
2,156 children $40 were rheumatic.
In 81 families with two children
there were Sc cases; in 70 families

In not one of the large families,

Since Nle disease sometimes comes

Religion and ROguery

Will religious training and moral exhortation keep
men and women from committing crimes? Such is
the question raised by the organization of the National
Commission on Crime Prevention Through Moral and
Religious Education.
This organization has for its purpose the
extension of moral and religious education through
every possible agency to all neglected youth in Amer
lea now growing up without such training" 1t has
on its foundation roll such important names those
of Harry Emerson Fosdick, Bishop Mcconnell, Stanley
High, and Dean Wegle.
Such commission and such efforts may be
welcomed warmly by all interested in the repression
of crminaity. ANY sympathetic and humanitarian
effort to assist young people go straight is highly
commendable. With certain types of cases. religion
may secure results which can not be obtained in any
other manner.
That religion alone will cure crime is, however as
improbable as the doctrine of the militant atheist
that religion is chief of crime 1t is we'll
known fact that the great majorty of convicted
criminals are persons af1liated with conventional
religious organizations There are surprisingly few
inhdel convicts
Franklin Steiner has analysed the latest federal
statistics of convcts in the penitentiaries of the
United States. He finds that out of $500 convicts,
some $780, or "a per cent, decsvey expressed their
church preference as Christians. There were $3.50
who were of the Jewish faith.
Only 5000 failed to affiliate themselves definitely
with Christianity or Judaism The avowed infidels
and pagans were microscopic some 49,
In short, the percentage of convcts expressing
church preferences was overwhelmingly greater than
that in the general population of the country
whole. Steiner regards it as at least so per cent
higher OF course, many convictS expressing church
preference hardly we're devout Christians, regularly
attending church But thc may be said of many
formally listed as Christians in the religious
of the country.
To look at it from another point of view what
about the percentage of highly educated criminals?

Dispensing Charity

For years private contributions in this
city have relieved, to a large extent, the pub
lie funds of the work of dispensing needed
charity.
During the last few months the demands
have grown, not only in this city, but in all
cities, to unusual proportions. Unemploy-
ment, forced by economic conditions, have
placed many families on the bread line.
1t is unfortunate that the attitude of
public officials seems to be that it is the duty
of the institutions supported by contribu-
tions to care for the needy and that public
support is a matter of discretion on their
part, to be provided when funds are plentiful
or withheld when political expediency or
other considerations may prompt curtail-
ment.
This will be more unfortunate during the
coming year, when there is every prospect
and indication that the need of relief work
will increase.
The demand of the Community Fund
that public funds supply rs per cent of re-
lief, the average of large number of cities,
seems modest enough.
AS matter of fact, the law makes it
mandatory that 100 per cent be so provided,
so that any work of relief by the Family
Welfare and other agencies is contribution,
not responsibility.
If the relief work officially were on an
economical and efficient basis, there would
probably be no need for the private agencies.
Thus far the batting average of the private
agencies in giving relief on basis of needs
and without waste is considerably better
than official records.
The remedy may. lie in selecting officials
who have an attitude toward charity and the
relief of the needy beyond the distribution of
grocery orders among those who can con-
tribute votes.
If it comes to choice between those who
are engaged in the work from humanitarian
motives and those in such official jobs for
political reasons, the people would not hest
tate as to which to trust.

DOUBT that Pluto is the Lowell
- planet has arisen chiefly from
the fact that it has such an ex-
traordinary orbit, one more like that
of a comet than that of the other
planets.
But Slipher continues his opinion
by saying: Finally, the orbit is no
sufficient ground upon which to
venture a decision as to the nature
of such an object.
Here is suggested an Obvious an
alogy between the suns increased

system of Jupiter, whose newer

to the fact that Planet x has, like

COMETIMES one can not help
~ wondering if we are not putting
too much premium on change, if
we are not confusing novelty with
progress; if we do not face the
danger OF becoming more restless
than constructive.
After all, those who do the rou-
tine work. who carry on the drudg-
cry of life, who wash the dishes,
dig the bitches ana keep things in
order deserve some credit.
They not only represent a neces-
sary phase of existence, but stabil-
izing influence.
We can not become nomadic men,
tally any more than we can become
nomadic physically, without losing
something essential.
If failure to go ahead means stag
nation, going ahead too fast means
confusion, and it is not impossible
that some of the troubles we are
experiencing in America can be
traced to the latter fault.

Pluto Is the Missing Loweu
Planet, Declares Astron-
omer;; Size Is About That
of Mars.
-RY DAVID DEFY

DLUTO, as the recently discovered
l. Planet x has been FAMED off,
cially, is probably as large as the
planet Mars, according to the
Lowell astronomers, discoverers Of
Pluto.
Their present opinion of the
planet is summarized in a bulletin
just sent out from the Lowell OBJ
servatory Of Flagstaff, Ariz., by DR..
v. M. Slipher, the director.
Slipher rejects the idea that Pluto
could be a comet-like body or that
it could be of the same size as the
asteroids, the great group of tiny
planet-like bodies which revolve
around the sun in an orbit between
Mars and Jupiter.
He insists that Pluto is the miss
ing planet predicted by the late
Professor Percival Lowell.
Color tests made at the Lowell
Observatory indicate that Pluto has
a yellowish tinge like that Of the
inner planets Oh GIlS SOldI oyStCuI
and quite different from the blush
tinge of Uranus and Neptune, the
outermost planets.
This suggests that Pluto has sur
face characteristics and a density
like that of the inner planets, Dr..
Slipher states.
At present Pluto is Alb times as
far from the sun as the earth, a
distance of approximately S,840, 000,-
900 miles.
TT is pertinent to state that if
Mars were removed to the same
distance, its stellar magnitude would
not be greater than Planet X" DR..
Slipher says.
