This institution means more than

1t is the beginning Of a movement
that probably will be an important
ment in this new decade just open
ing. II is the first step TO apply the
findings Of mental science to the
benefit Of the afflicted, and very
directly to the benefit Of the COM
monwealth.
Science already has found that
the greater part Of crime is not
purposeful cussedness Of the res
ponsible. but traceable TO mental
and physical deficiencies. bodily ills
or mental disease that may be mea-
Sured and determined. But the gov
ernment that Furnishes criminals
hasn't done anything about 1t.
Psycopathic science will point the
way for a state. backward in the
handling and treatment Of its GRIM

1t does the bodily-suffering. rather
than Try them TO a grisly death II

share Of the common burden OF
mankind.
At the turn into the fourth de-
cade Of this vital century. serious
thought in Texas has been diverted
from the question Of a living wage
and state regulations assuring II.
Yet the question is one Of everyday.
personal. vital concern to perhaps
more than half the people.
Attempts have been made in Tex
as to prescribe a level Of wages for
women in industry. below which
public policy would intervene. II
was found, IN common with other
states. that a minimum level of
wages meant fixing the actual le-
vel. even though 1t caused a reduc-
ton in existing scales. This, it was
found, would not do, and If the
state were to attempt to regulate this
matter on the basis Of public pol
icy, or have anything to do with
the entire economic issue, 1t must
leave the solution TO wiser heads.
And that Is where it stands.

HOPE MRS. DODSON
WILL Be RETAINED
Republican National Commit
tee Women May Appeal to
President Hoover.

The resignation of Mrs. Louise NJ
Dodson as director Of the women's d.
vision of the Republican party, it was
said today, may result in Republican
national committeewomen appealing to
President Hoover to retain her. Hope
was expressed that under the new chair
man, Senator Fess of Ohio, Mrs. Dod-
son would be given a freer hand in
CARRYING out her ideas than under the
old regime.
Dissatisfaction with what she con-
sidered lack of authority given her by
Claudius H. Huston was designated in
some circles as the reason for Mrs.
Dodson's resignation. 1t was believed
a request from President Hoover would
retain her in her old position.
Eight committeewomen, representing
as many different States, turned fare
we'll dinner to which Mrs. Dodson had
invited them into an unanimous de-
mand for her to reconsider her resigna-
ton. Failing, however, thus far to
swerve her from her decision, the wom-
en- are likely to appeal to the President.
THE Women's Executive Committee
is unanimous in its belief that Mrs.
Dodson's resignation should not be &C
cepted," said Mrs. Virginia White
Speel, national committee woman and
chairman of the Republican women's
activities for the District of Columbia.
"She is held in the highest regard by
every member of the committee. We
feel that her resignation as director
would be public calamity"
So long as there is possibility OF Mrs.
Dodson's remaining no names are being
suggested as her successor. What was
termed Mrs Dodson's simple but con-
common sense and her likable person.
atty were reasons given by the COM
mitteewomen for wanting her to re-
main.
Mrs. Dodson would make no COM
ment on her resignation, but her CO.
workers described her position, while
Huston was chairman, as responsibility
without authority, shadow without
substance"
"The women feel that Mrs. Dodson
has amply demonstrated, in important
positions she has held in the past, her
ability to make decisions and deal with
important problems herself" Mrs. Speel
said.
Mrs. Dodson was the first chairman
of the Womens Division of the Iowa
Republican State Central Committee,
having organized the Republican won1-
en- of the State following the granting
of suffrage. She also was the first wom-
an to sit as officer on a national con-
vention committee.
Republican committeewomen leading
the movement to retain Mrs. Dodson as
women's director are: Mrs. Paul Rev.
man of South Dakota, Mrs Worthing-
ton Scranton of Pennsylvania, Mrs. Ellis
A. Yost of West Virginia, Miss Martha
Mcclure of Iowa, Mrs. Nathaniel
Thayer of Massachusetts,, Mrs. Grace
Semple Birmingham of Missouri, Mrs.
Guy P. Gannett Of Maine and Mrs.
Speel.

TO GET
i. S. MEDAL FRIDAY
President to Make Presenta-
ton Authorized in Recognition
of His Achievements.

Col. Charles A. Lindbergh will receive
from the hands of President Hoover
next Friday, the solid gold medal au-
thorized by Congress to commemorate
his achievements in the advancement
of the science Of aviation.
Col. Lindbergh with his wife will fly
to Washington from their home and
following the presentation ceremonies
at 1890, will be luncheon guests at
the White House, and will be invited
to accompany the President and Mrs.
Hoover with some other friends to spend
the week end at the Rapidan Fishing
Camp. The colonel and his wife will
not bring their infant son with them
on this trip.
The medal to be presented to Col.
Lindbergh is of solid gold and was
made at the Philadelphia mint by au-
thorization of Congress. After the
presentation the mint is also author
lied TO sell to the public generally
bronze duplicates of the original gold
medal at the cost of 81 each, plus
are on sale only at the Philadelphia
mint and are not available here in
washington. More advance orders have
piled up for this medal at the Phila-
delphia mint, 1t was said at the Treas
ury, than for any other medal ever
struck by the mint.
The legislation was sponsored by
both House Leader John @. Tilson, Re-
publican, of Connecticut, and Senator
Joseph T. Robinson, the Democratic
leader of the Senate.
The gold medal is about 234 inches
in diameter. 1t bears on one side
a profile of Col. Lindbergh in flying
helmet and on the other symbolical
design, showing an eagle flying from
West to East. Both stars and the
rising sun are shown above and the
waters of the ocean beneath to signify
the transatlantic fight of Col. Lind
bergh which brought him fame.

DIR. w. Bell, However, Forecasts Short
age of Food and Water.
BY the Associated Press. ft
Government scientists asserted today
that of all the creatures Of earth, not
excepting man, the wild denizens of the
forests probably are least vulnerable to
danger and discomfort from the drought
wave.
THE animals have no thermometers 4"
said E. A. Preble, biologist of the Bio
logical Survey They may pant a bit
in the deep of dry forests when the
sun is overhead at noon, but they do
not get excited over anything short Of
actual lack of food or water"
However DR.. w. Bell, director Of
biological Investigations for the bureau,
forecast a shortage of water and food
for wild animals this year. Nesting
birds, pitiable victims of forest fires,
he said probably were able to escape
because their young were already on
the wing when the drought set in.
Fires i'll the great Eastern woodlands
have disturbed officials of the Forestry
Service. Since January this year 1901
blazes have destroyed 46,270 acres of
national forests east of the Rocky
Mountains, while throughout 1929 in
the same area there were only 456 fires,

DR., Bell saw the possibility of harm
from these fires to deer, squirrels, rab-
bits, raccoons and skunks, and to ruff
led grouse, doves and dozens Of species
of small-winged creatures.
Food Shortage Feared.
THE greatest danger is that of a
food shortage" he said. 1T would re-
suit, in concentration of the birds in
the least severely stricken spots, and
that would increase their peril from
natural enemies. 1t might also expose
them to ruthless hunting by men de-
ceived about the plentifulness of a

area"
DR.. Bell said ducks on the North
western breeding grounds-teal, and
Mallard, pintails, scaups and canvass
backs-would suffer from food short

month should bring about scarcity of
insects and water plants. But their
young are beyond harm from tempera-

they may have to travel far In search

to be compared with the heavy death
tolls among fishes-will be confined to
localities In which conditions are ex-

there will be no permanent depletion"
