william Pitt entered parliament at

have not the slightest wish to keep
this GLIB youngster out Of the house

amazement that he should be seri-

SAYS.

1t Strains the Imagination to
Think That Wen Fall
Again for the SIusb as We
Did IN the War Days Of
1917.
ORR JOSIAH STAMP, eminent
y British economist, attributes the
present worldwide depression to
gold.
Gold, he explains, has risen in
value, while other commodities have
gone down by comparison. Nations
can not get as much gold for a
given commodity or given amount
of labor as they could eight or ten
years ago, but must pay their debts
with it.
This means that the debts In
crease as gold rises, and that, so
far as work or production is con-
cerned, the debts constantly grow
greater.
Sir Josiah thinks 1t unfortunate
that we Americans should be &C
cumulating such a large gold re-
serve, but forgives us on the ground
that we can't help it.
Prospect for solution of the prob
lem would be hopeless, he says, were
it not for the fact that men gen.
orally find a way out of their diff
ficulties when it becomes necessary.

Protein is necessary to maintain
life and to build and rebuild It's
sue. Because the child grows so
much more rapidly than does the
adult, it requires proportionately
more protein than does an adult.
The chemistry Of the proteins Is
SO complicated that its investiga-
ton represents a special field in
medical science.
Proteins apparently are built up
out of various combinations Of sub
stances called amino acids. Pro-
teins vary in their character from
the type that grows in the tissues OF
the body to much simpler forms.
Naturally, a protein which al
ready is close to what the body re-
quires for its growth is more val
liable protein for nutrition than one
which has to be acted on and modi-
fed chemically in order to reach
this higher state.
An infant needs a certain amount
of protein to grow satisfactorily. The
amount needed is about one-f1ftieth

This board also decided against her.
The majority opinion was delivered by Judge C.
Rogers Arundel. The judge apparently had read
but little in the literature of the origins OF our
country He denounced the league for criticising
existing political and economic institutions and
practices
This is un-American in a country which was

trace of the old American spirit appeared in
the minority opinion delivered by Judge John M
Sternhagen:
There are few branches of learning which escape
controversy Freedom of thought and difference of
opinion are essential to education and progress.
Whether the education is controversial political
or Immediately or remotely effective is, I think, be-

The case will be carried to the federal circuit
court of appeals. We may hope that the tax board
will be reversed not so much because of the League
for Industrial Democracy any particular organiza-
tion but because of the desirabty Of nppng in the
bud another effort to crush out intellectual inde-
pendence in the United States.
The board would pass a gift to the Harvard bust
ness school, but no informed person would be likely
to contend that the League for Industrial Democracy
is any more biased toward conectivism than is the
Harvard business school in the direction Of CAPT.

A FLYER in Wheat

Tho latest speculation spree of the federal farm
s.rd ,,ores us dizzy. Taking the peoples money, it
has barved into the Chicago wheat pit in big way
andfor 2 moment-hxed the price above the worio
level
As result it now has about 1O0,000.0Oo bushels Oh
excess wheat stored away and no apparent cnance ol
getting rid of surplus, because there Is an even "e
surplus elutting the world market abroad
All Of this may be fine business the part Of the
administration; at least we would hoC presume "
argue the matter with experts who have discovered
or think they have-a device 10 SET "Sio' 'i'0 80"
supply and demand
E.or,aver we can not help but be uneasy over the
fckeness of the farm board. We would have more
confidence in its policy If would stop reversing tsC
policy every change of the moon.
The administration started out to oppose TO the
death all and sundry price-fxing panaceaS' Ihat
was what all the shooting about when the aomm-
istration killed the farm bloc measures in congress
The administration argued that price -fxng stunts
had been tried in many countries and all had failed
1t cued the disastrous examples of British rubber
Cuban sugar and Brazilian coffee.
Just about the time the country had been con
verted to the fact that price-ixing control OF
world commodity must fail the farm board took its
first flyer in wheat.
That turned out to be very costly operation the
net result being that the board was left with high
priced and unstable wheat on its hands and that
the market price plunged downward to the detri-
rnent of the farmers.
After that sac experience the farm board appeared
to reform and to flop back to the original admins
tration policy AT least 1t is said it had no intention
of dabbling in the market again.
But now it has executed another temperamental
reversal and plunged deeply in the wheat pit that
no one knows how it is going to get out.
Why this latest plunge7 Critics suggest that it
is for political purposes the eve of the congress
siona session. to prevent revival of the farm bocs
debenture plan
Whatever the reason, have growing Suspi-
con that no good is going to Of the adminstra
tons farm relief efforts either politically eco
nomicaIy, unless it stops foundering and makes up
its mind one way or another.

More Taxes7

President Hoover warns the country that "a small
deficit" for the fiscal year ending next June so Is
likely. The chairman Of the senate finance commit
estimates that this federal deficit win approx
mate last years surplus Of s1S4,OO0OO0
Presumably this means that the / per cent tax
reduction applying to payments this year viii be
abolished and the old levies automatically viii be-
come operative through failure OF congress to per-
petuate the cut.
1t is unfortunate TO have TO increase taxes in
time Of depression, but the treasury is plainly up
against IT, and must DO this or issue bonds. Revenues
this year Will be somewhere between $35000o,0oo and
$500O00O00 less than last year Expenses win show
a marked increase.
Coupled with this are demands congress for
increased altays for public works to stimulate bust
ness. A huge naval building program is being advo
Gated and congress must vote funds for previous
commitments, such as food control Boulder dam,
state road aid, public building and farm relief
Some administration leaders are advocating cur
tailment Of public debt retirement, which up to now
has proceeded rapidly and in an orderly manner
SURPRISES of other years have been applied to the
debt as have payments by foreign governments on
their debts In Judgment, the rapid debt retire
ment policy should be continued
The precipitate tax reduction Of last autumn de-
privng the government of $3.50 100000; coupled with
lower payments because Of the stock market crash
and general business sackening, are the factors
which will put the balance on the red side Of the
ledger Customs revenues also have been materially
lower.
The important thing is to exercise discretion
in spending, and If new sources Of revenue must be
found to put the burden the larger rather than
the smaller taxpayers.

years Of age and his early schooling
frequently was interrupted by pc
Rod of labor necessary for earn
ing the means of support and edu-
cation.

CIR WALTER FLETCHER, emf
- nent head of the British Medi-
cal Research Council, said recently
in an address that our knowledge
Of nutrition gained in the last quar-
ter century represents the most i'm
portant material for the advance
ment of mankind that was contrib
uted during that period.
Whereas it at first was thought
the only value of food was to pro-
vide the body With fuel to carry on
its activities, later developments
have revealed the necessity of vari-
GUS constituents of foods for spe-
cif1c purposes.
The energy value was measured
in calories. Galleries represent the
ability of the food to supply the
body with fuel to carry on the ac-
Invites of the heart, the lungs, the
muscles, and the digestive organs.
When food is utilized as fuel, the
energy ultimately is given off in the
form of heat and the heat units
are measured in calories. However,
these fuel values represent only the
material that the body uses up In
carrying on work.
They do not include the 1mpor-

Mr.. Forster informs me that I am
incorrect in referring to Randolph

actually is 1872. I further am in

possibly parochial notion that there
are still things which are better
ordered in the United States.

Acid of Decay

DESCRIBING his new theory of
II dental carries, DR.. Bodecker
says:
This theory is based on the hy-
pothesis that if the individual is in
normal healthy condition the acid
decay is neutralized steadily by
mineral salts present in the tooth
itself and thus made innoxious;
therefore no decay takes place.
These mineral salts are carried
in a fluid, the dental lymph, de-
rived from the blood, which is
known to contain various kinds Of
such salts.
IF the individual. on the other
hand, is in an abnormal condition
Of health, the acid of decay is not
neutralized completely, due to an
insufficiency of mineral salts in the
world, which seems absurd.
But We must remember that
health is a matter of degree, in fact
Of widely varying degrees, between
the individual bursting with energy
and vitality and the patient lying at
deaths door"

newspaper or magazine without
finding something signed and dotted
by the British statesman.
Nor have I any wish to be cap
tious about his contributions. 1t is
all good, lively stuff. Winston
Churchill writes at least two and a
half times as well as our Mr.. Cool
idge, and at times he is very nearly
as amusing as Will Rogers.
1t might be said that in all his
narrative one sees life through a
Churchill darkly, but, after all, who
am / to adopt a censorious attitude
toward those who make a maypole
of the first person singular and
dance around it?
It is interesting, Of course, to
learn that in August, 1914, Winston
Churchill admittedly saved Eu-
dope" Has Europe heard OF 1t, and
shouldn't that continent be the
first to know?

Air Accidents

The commerce departments aviation accident re-
port for the first six months of 1880 is the in
terestng one since the collection of crash statistics
was started
1t shows that, although flying over the regularly
scheduled lines of the country is amazingly safe,
and becoming safer every 6ay crashes in other types
of flying are increasing aarningy.
The air lines between January and July flew
nearly three million miles for every fatal accident, a
safety increase Of nearly 200 per cent last year.
Yet in miscellaneous flying there fatal crash
for every 5s427 miles, a decrease over last years
safety record.
The commerce department is gravely worried over
this. The country is fun Of young pilots just out Of
the schools, flying without mature judgment and
experience and killing themselves and other people
with disheartening regularity.
All 1iers must pass through the "adolescent stage
of plotting; they must experience the dangerous
period
Stricter regulation Is VITAL despite all the oppo-
sition to it. Perhaps it will be necessary to forbid
pilots carrying passengers until they have more ex-
perience than the present regulations require.
Certainly there is excuse for allowing private
pilots to take their friends alof as now is the prac-
tice. We can't keep the private pilots from killing
themselves, but surely We protect others from
going to death with them.

Decay of Teeth Is One of the
Most Pressing Problems
Which Civilization Faces
Today
A NEW theory that the decay Of
IA teeth is a disease has been adj
vanced by DR.. Charles 2. Bodecker,
professor Of dentistry st Columbia
university
The new theory holds further
that healthy teeth protect them
selves against decay without out
side aid, by means Of mineral salts
depoSited within them by the blood
stream.
According to DR.. Bodecker, dental
carries, to use the technical term for
the decay Of teeth, is chiefly the
result of impaired resistance OF
the teeth 70 acids formed in the
mouth.
He rejects the commonly ac-
cepted belief that the decay OF
teeth is caused entirely through
the attack Of exterior agents upon
the surface of the teeth and also
rejects the idea that the decay Of
teeth can be controlled or prevented
through the sole use of exterior
agents.
In support Of this theory. DR..
Bodecker points out that many per
sons who give no attention to
mouth hygiene have good teeth,
while others whose prophylactic eff
forts are unremitt!ng are wholly
unable to retard the progress OF
disease.
Teeth from which the nerves
have been removed appear to dis
integz>$s more rapidly. he finds, a
condition which would not occur
if the cause were wholly an ex-
terror one.
