But the men who we're banded together in hatred
for the Jew had to the synagog not to KILL but

The Jewish congregation received its enemies and

delivered into their hands and they were merciful
1t is hard to believe that men of the Stahlhe.m

ever can violate that sanctuary when others cover

are flaming again. The Frankfort congregation has
shown how they may be quenched in way we are

Crime Commission Ignored

year ago. before the commission started on its
course Of making hasty and haif-baked reports, the
judicial conference congratulated the country the
Presidents appointment of "a great commission" This
year there is no mention of the commission But
there is outspoken disagreement with the commissions
recommendations.
The commission had reported that there should be
additional federal judges at points where judicial
business is too heavy. Attorney General Mitchell
disagreed with the commission. Congress disagreed
with the commission Now the judicial conference dis
agrees with the commission.
The judicial conference does not specifically oppose
the Wickersham commissions proposal for juryless

A Storm Signal

HOME rule is a wonderful thing,
l. not only because of the liberty
it allows, but because Of the ex-
perimenting 1t makes possible, with
out upSetting the whole apple cart.
We could learn a lot If we would
let our states and municipalities
do more pioneering in the field Of
politics, sociology, and economics.
Capitalization has become stag
mating force in this country. We
would be trying out a good many
things if We felt we could do so
without involving the whole coun-
try.
AT the same time, we could re-
store some of that respect we used
to feel for poor old Uncle Sam before
we undertook to make him q village
constable and wet nurse.
The growing disposition to do
nothing, unless we can persuade the
whole country to do it. Is our
greatest weakness at this time. Also,
it Is our greatest danger.
1t Is creating unrest by holding
progress back. 1t Is creating the
impression that we are powerless to
help ourselves, except on a nation
wide basis, and that, in turn, is
breeding fear, because Of the obvious
difficulty of getting such big ma
ton to move.
The eighteenth amendment is
nothing less than a storm signal,
not with regard to liquor, but with
regard to the policy of centraliza-
ton and bureaucratic rule.

ANAA AOO4 Lands

A LITTLE while ago the country was told that
L n Tammany was New Tammany" that it had
discarded its dark lantern and its jimmy and was
devotng its time solely to the application of the Ten
Commandments to the government of New York City
However the change is only external; the present
Tammany dresses better than the old and eats with
fork instead of with its feet but the present revela
prove the Tiger to be the same old rotten beast.
The foul mess presents Mayor Walker to the coun-
try in perplexing light.
He has seen one after another of his appointees
branded with corruption, yet he has not manifested
that indignation which the honest usually dis
plays when his appointees betray him.
OF course, we do not impugn the mayors honesty
~ we simply can not understand how an honest
mayor could keep his hands off OF those who had
proved to be traitors to the people and to him.
It required letter from Governor Roosevelt to
induce the mayor to urge his appontees to waive i'm
munity and tell the truth.
We do not question Walkers honesty any more
than We question that of Mr. Coolidge who did rot
brand false members of his cabinet after they we're
unmaSked as hideouS.
Such instances of control are interesting how
indicating the polar complacency into which
We have entered
But if it be hard to understand Mayor walker there
there is no difficulty whatever in understanding for
mer Governor Al Smith, for ne has been open and
above board. In fact his investigation of Tamnany
officials lost him the vote of the Empire state in 1890
GMTTH was brought up in the atmosphere of Tam
- many, but after he reached the governorshp he
declared his independence and this is what made him
the greatest Governor New York ever had
This is why the Republicans elected him time
after time.
He is out of national politics now and forever
but it is only plain justice to give credit to the
man who was big enough to do his duty, though he
his future.
If every man in American public life we're as
square as Al Smithsve would be act better on.

Asthma More Common Among Boys

use of inhalations of various sub
stances, the use of ultraviolet, Of
special breathing apparatus, and the
application of carbon dioxide gas to
the nose.
The inhalations with oils and with
fine fogs of salt solutions seem to
benefit only about 10 or Is per cent
of the patients. Some of them &C
tually seemed worse after the treat
mentS than before.
One of the advantages Of such
inhaIations was the increase in the
amount of the secretions which the
patient was able to cough up and
thus to obtain relief.
In general, the ultraviolent radia-
lions seem to improve the condi-
ton of the patients without, how
ever, specifically affecting the
asthma in the majority of instances.
Automatic breathing apparatus to
assist the proper expansion and con-
traction of the lungs aided few

No Mud Singing, Now

In resounding sylIables Eliza O. Rogers, Republican
state chairman has spoken. The G. o. P. slogan IN
the state campaign will be Throw no mud"
Leave it to the Democrats" says Mr.. Rogers,
striking pose emblematic Of injured virtue. 1T Is
beneath the dignity of the great Republican party &c
resort to SANDER and abuse"
Mr.. Rogers stand is commendable. His advice is
sound. But it does seem trifie unnecessary
One hardly can imagine any department head I'M
der the present state administration faring forth to
hurl mud at any one. The of every one of them
is to lay low and attract te attention as possible
in view of the record of the last two years.
The one hope that G. o. p. leaders can have is
that the average voter has buried his head in the
sand and left his brains in his other suit
Let your people know that Governor Leslies ad-
minlstraron has constructed 1,l8O miles of paved
roads since April. 1929" chants Rogers.
Yes under the direction of highway department
that has increased it's overhead expenses by 81 22623S
over the last fiscal year, through lavish and unneces-
cary pay boosts and reckless spending by its main
tenance unit They roads built by highway de-
artent that ignored the fact that contractors were
rinding down their laborers with slave wage sys-
EN- until the matter brought forcibly to their
ttention that commissioners were forced to act for
lief.
LET them know that every Office and department
the statehouse is functioning smoothly and eff
lily so that even the Democrats hard put to
y d fault" rhapsodizes Mr.. Rogers, further.
If Offices and departments at the statehouse
unctioning smoothly and efficiently, it is due to the
clerks and deputies left in charge of most of them
while their chiefs are the state attending to
Ssheir own reelection campaigns instead of to the
states business.
I'VE are in great fight to maintain the welfare
Of Indiana" declares Rogers
Yes, fight marked by failure of the auditors Of
flee to collect thousands Of dollars gas taxes; by
Of state police to further the of the
tary of state in his reelection campaign by incom
petent handling of state school aid funds; by failure
to aid farmers; by extravaganza and waste of high
way funds; by general neglect of duty
This is the great fight that state department heads
making for the welfare of Indiana.

usefulness. The publicity went to
his head. He sauntered out yester-
day and got himself arrested.
The charge was that of being in
the park without nuzzle, and the
paper is returnable in the Fourth
district city magistrates court, at
ISL East Fifty-seventh street. And,
by an odd coincidence, this is the
same court of which I am an
alumnus.
I don't know whether Captain
Flagg intends to plead guilty and
take the rap or make himself out to
be a martyr for free speech.
At any rate, the whole thing will
be salutary lesson for him. This
time his usefulness didn't work. At
least, it broke down.
Edward, who had him on a leash,
explained to the policeman, when
the missing nuzzle first was dis
cussed, that it was merely an over
sight. He spoke of the amiability
of this particular Airedale. So
gentle an animal hardly stood in
need of any clamp upon his jaws.
And Flagg backed up every state
ment made in his behalf by looking
wistfully at the police officer. AS
a matter of fact, he really does like
policemen. It's only ice men and
anybody in a white coat against
whom he has a grudge.

Give States a Chance


NOW let's remember that. before
L ' we get too excited about drag
ging the federal government into
some other things, such as unem-
ployment insurance.
Unemployment insurance NAV be
all right, but isn't there some wav
OF providing it without calling on
congress?
Why can't the states, or even MIL
nicipalites, arrange for it, and
wouldn't it be a good idea to let
some Of them experiment. a bit be-
fore getting so cocksure of how il
will work?
Aren't we becoming too infatu-
ated with the notion of yelling for
the federal government to take it
up every time We have bright
thought, and isn't that what really
got us into this prohibition mess?
II we want to retain local self
government and state rights, we
must prove that they mean some
thing, that they can be used to meet
emergencies and institute reforms.
If they are inadequate for such,
then 1t follows that they do not
amount to as much as we have been
led to believe.
We can not keep on yelling for
Washington to help every time we
stub or toes, and encourage faith
in home rule at the same time.
If we want home rule, and believe
in it, We have got to make use Of it..

4 CONTRIBUTOR takes me to
n task for saying that dogs and
men are the only members Of the
animal kingdom who have the gift,
or the weakness, of looking wistful.
For man who has told an anec-
dote about four mules so often you
show a surprising lack of informa-
tion," writes T. M. ANY ex-calvary
or artilleryman can tell you that if
you turn a troop Of horses loose in
a corral they'll stand around in
groups of two to eight, with their
heads hanging down right together
sort of silent communion.
They just stand still there by the
hour. Why horse doesn't sit down
in his leisure moments have never
been able to figure out.
"Well, if couple of mules are
also loose in this corral they will
sneak up individually from the rear
and take their places with the
horses, their heads down, trying
their darndest to look inconspicuous.
But the horses, without appar-
emily noticing this, will sort of dis
integrate. One by one they will
move off in no sort of rush-se-
dately but surely.
In about a minute the poor mule
is all alone. He takes it in out of
the corner of his eye, but keeps his
head resolutely down.
after he's all alone he'll stand
there for about thirty seconds as
the full consciousness of his hui
initiation cinks in.
"And does he look pathetic?
There he stands all alone snubbed
again. Even his best friends wouldn't
tell him"
T. M. has convinced me that men
and mules are both pathetic and
that men and horses can be in
sufferable Snobs.
AS matter of fact. my original
statement was careless. Deer have
most melancholy eyes. Thank
heaven, I've never shot one.
I've never even tried, although I
would not be very likely to cause
any alteration in my bloodless
record.

Whenever such simple cures as
these occur it seems likely that the
asthma is psychological instead of
real, that the diagnosis has been
wrong, and that the treatment has
nothing to do with the case.
In the course of it's first years
work, the committee studied care
fully more than 200 cases and
secured some valuable information.
1t was found that asthma was
more common in boys than in girls,
but that after the age of IA, cases
among men and women are about
equal.
More than half of the patients
with asthma gave a history in
dicating that some one in the family
had suffered with a similar disease.
Unquestionably the mental at
titude of the patient toward the
condition determines to a large ex-
tent the severity of the attack.
The methods of treating asthma
have included among others the

Another Revolution

Even more important than the incipent political
revolution in Cuba is the revolution boiling in little
sheet-iron building at Matanzas There Georges
Claude, French inventor, has in operation his
perimental power plant utilizing the temperature
differences between the warm surface and the cold
depths of the tropical sea.
When bank of lamps flashed on the other day,
fed by electricity generated by power from Caude's
Sturbne, it may have been signal of mans further
conquest of the tropics.
If the heatNof the tropical stored up in the
warm surface waters of the be put to useful
work by Claude'S genius, then man can have re-
frigerated houses and power machinery for subdung
the riches of the tropics as he has Subdued the
natural resources of the temperate climatic areas of
the earth.
Many have doubted whether Claude can extract
economical power from the temperature differences
of the tropical seas Many still doubt whether the
little f1ftykiowatt plant at MatanzaS with its mile
long, Six-foot diameter steel tube reaching 1900 feet
into the cold lower layers of the ocean, give rise
to commercial plants that will compete with coal
fired steam turbines.
But the road of any pioneer is beset with doubters
who are often honest highly trained ard earnest
When Claude demonstrated toy model Of his sea
temperature power plant to the French Academy of
Sciences these doubters said very pretty but the
principle is well known an0 OF course IL would not
work large scale
Their incredulity continued when Claude set up
a plant on the Meuse river in Belgium and operated
it successfully the waste heat of power plant.
When Claude selected Cuba as the scene of his
tests when two gigantic tubes to bring cooling water
to the vacuum steam generator were lost while being
launched, the doubters continued to express them
selves.
Even now, with turbines turning, there those
who still not convinced that this is the beginning
Of a new commercial power process
But Claude is hard man to suppress. When he
is told by those who profess to know that thing
can not be done, he is melted to go and do It,
During the World war. when gas warfare started
he was told that quifed chlorine could not be carried
in steel cylinders. But he did it.
He was told that ne could not proftably separate
the rare gas, neon, from air. But his triumph now
is written in orange-red of Claude lights in
thousands of store windows.
Cries of at can't be done" will not deter him in
his latest venture Cheap power for Florida, south
ern California and all other tropical and semi"tropcal
countries bordering warm deep seas promises to be
the result of his persistence.

Questions and
AnS7CeYS

If a man drawing Civil war
pension from the government should
die, would his pension be paid to
his widow?
The pension stops at the death OF
the pensioner, and is not tranfer-
able. The widow, however, may be
entitled to a pension in her own
name under certain conditions.
Who was the first man to fly in a
motor powered airplane?
OYville Wright.
What was the name of the famous
explorer who crossed the ocean with
the Graf Zeppelin?
Sir Hubert wilkins.
Why does a blow on the head
make one "See Stars?"
A hard blow on the head may
cause reflexive action on the optic
nerve, producing the effect Of
flashes of light before the eyes. This
is called seeing stars" The flashes
are entirely within the brain.
What relation are the children Of
my first cousin to me?
First cousins once removed.

Question of Honor?

LIE throws himself against the
l. Il leash in his eagernesS to be the
first to fight. Every cat is to him a
burner of orphan asylums and a
poisoner Of wells.
Nobody ever will have to draft
Flagg or any conflict which is pre-
sented to him as a war to end cats.
For some reason obscure to me
Airedale honor is involved.
Edward chung to the leash and
weathered the tornado. The black
cat got away without any physical
injury, but I rather fear he may be
a neurotic all the rest of his lives.
And the policeman observed the
performance with great interest.
"a nice, amiable dog" he said,
taking out ticket and pencil. "Oh,
no, he doesn't need a muzzle. He
wouldn't hurt anybody. He's a
peach of a pacif1st."
And so Captain Flagg vii have his
day in court, and I am going to in
Sist that he waive immunity.

Trade Expansion

TINE expansion of foreign trade
Il in chemical lines is equally as
impressive as the record Of produc-
ton.
To-day the world is our market
place and we are sending to all parts
of the globe chemicals and allied
products valued at more than $780,
000,0Co year." Taylor says.
ION The other hand. our imports
of materials for use in chemical and
allied lines aggregate more than
5000, 100000 annually.
1.-THE saturation point is not in
sight. Production is limited only by
human needs and desires, and our
economic horizons constantly are
being pushed back to supply the
rational cravings of teeming millions
not yet acquainted with modern
necessities, to say nothing of some
of the luXuries."
Taylor is exceedingly optimistic
of the future.
1.-THE historical glance backward
has shown us the great forward
strides made since earlier times by
American chemistry" he says.
1--WE. are quite aware, too, that SCI
entific discovery and invention are
proceeding at an ever increasing
rate, and in the light of history our
progress il the future is to be more
rapid thai, in the past.
1.-The funcl rs. then, of chemistry
in the future must be more compre-
hensive thar at present and GER
tainly must embrace an understand
ing of its economic Importance.
The service of chemistry must be
not only in the discovery and ap-
plication of scientific and techno-
logical facts, but chemistry also
must serve by solving the larger
problems of distribution in its
broadcast sense"

OPENING OF YALE
Oct. 8

OEts
ON Oct. 9, 1901, Yale University,
" then known as the Collegiate
School of Connecticut, received its
charter from the colonial assembly
and was opened formally at Say
brook.
For sixty years before the opening
of the new school, the people OF
Connecticut had been sending their
sons TO Harvard. In 1701, a group
of ten of the principal ministers,
Harvard graduates, formally found
ed a collegiate institution by the
gift Of books for a library and were
subsequently given a charter.
The trustees obtained support Of
the towns on the Connecticut river,
voted to establish it at Saybrook,
@as the most convenient town for
the present"
In 1716, in the face of much dis
satisfaction, the school was re-
moved to New Haven and perma-
nently located there.
A wooden building was erected
where Osborn hall now stands, and
was opened formally at commence
nient in 1718, when the name Of
Yale college was adopted IN honor
OF Elihu Yale. who had made large
gifts to the school.
