The Brush Inquiry Has for
It's Purpose the Betterment
of Human Stock.
THE two-day session Of leading
L scientists held recently in Cleve-
land by the Brush Foundation to
discuss the problems of adolescence
will lay the groundwork for re-
search into that vital subject.
The foundation, formed by the
late Charles F. Brush. famous In
ventor of the arc lamp. is devoted
to study of the problems OF race
bettermeut.
At the present time, the founda-
ton is carrying on five-year study,
known as the Brush inquiry. to
evaluate the importance OF heritage
in human development.
I'm drawing up the deed OF gift
which established the foundation,
DR.. Brush laid special emphasis
upon the betterment of population.
not upon welfare, not even upon
improvement of our lot" DR.. T.
Wingate Todd, professor of anatomy
at the Western Reserve Medical
school and director Of the founda-
ton, says.
"As a very practical philan-
thropist, he would not make life
easier, but better prepare mankind
to meet the conditions of life. He
saw a vision of healthier bodies,
stronger minds, more balanced
judgments.
IF such improvement could be
made, all other attributes would
follow in its train"

DUT I think that it is very es-
ID sential that political thought
should keep pace with development
in flying. AS yet it lags. There are
corn-fed statesmen who still speak
as if Europe were a remote CONT

ID OANOKE, Va, Oct. 23.-The
N Blue Ridge mountains are
bluer than ever this fall. When seen
from sufficiently great distance,
they almost blend with the sky.
The phenomenon is due to smoke.
Less Of that smoke is coming from
stacks than usual, but vastly more
is coming from forest fires.
Whenever you come close, the
landscapes take on a parched and
withered aspect. Fields are not only
brown, but sere, while trees and
shrubs seem to be gaSping for life.
This whole section has been
afflicted with one of the worst
droughts on record, and the plight
of farmers has come to be regarded
as even more serious problem than
unemployment.

Editor Times-What- the country
needs today is not good scent
cigar, as Thomas Marshall said, but
a complete change of party govern
ment in nation, state and county;
a change from the policy that is
converting the wealth and money
power of the nation into the hands
of the protected and privileged few
to a policy of equal justice and equal
opportunity for all men.
For ten years the party in power
has had complete and uninter-
rupted control of all branches OF
the government, and during that
time of vaunted prosperity, fabu-
lous fortunes and great wealth hvae
been maSSed into the hands OF a
favored few.
And today, at the end of this
most prosperous period in the his
tory of our county-So claimed by
the party in power-where stand the
farmer, laborer. merchant, big and
little, and the masses of the people?
Let them speak for themselves, as
they stnad idle, their small savings
vanishing as they look into future
filled with uncertainty and dread.
Should the party in power be held
responsible for the present condl-
ton of the people in this country
today? Was it not placed in power
on its own assumption that it was
the creator of prosperity, and when
Herbert Hoover, during the last
campaign, was heralded to the
American public as the greatest
business genius, the mightieSt
apostle of prosperity, the country
yet had seen, did he not modestlJ
admit his infallibility by his silencei
One thing the party has done, one
promise has been kept: the farmer
has been placed on an equality witt
industry; not by improving his con-
dition, but by bringing industry
down to the farmers level.
