Fear for Winter

VIRGINIA newspapers are saying
' that this winter promises to
be the worst since reconstruction
days, and are urging the adoption
of prompt measures for relief, but
their tone is business like, rather
than excited.
One senses little inclination to
fall for cheap, ready-made remedies,
to suppose that the situation can be
cured by singing happy days are
here again." or raise big funds,
without first considering who will
get the benefit
Like most other states, Virginia
is giving attention to the possibility
of highway construction, but with
special emphasis on rural, or second
grade, roads, where most Of the work
is done by hand.
That's an important idea, when
you come to think of it. It's the
common man who needs help in this
emergency, and he doesn't get so
much if the bulk of the money goes
for tractors, mixers, and steam
Shovels.
Some of the improvements and
appropriations being recommended
in the name of relief, and, with the
best of intentions, mean more to big
boys than to little ones,

Aid, $6,325. Total, $168, 1875. The
above organizations do some good,
but not to the extent of $168,125 of
the public's money, originally do
mated to provide food and other
comforts to the poor.
There no doubt are thousands
who would give more, but who do
not approve Of the large expend-
itures as noted above. We, the
public, have nothing to say about
how this is proportioned by those
in charge, and who, no doubt,
would be called upon for contribu-
tons to maintain the Y. M. G. A.
and kindred organizations.
Let's hear something about this
in your paper. If we are to hear
anything, it will have to appear in
The Times.
What did the Y. M. c. A. ever
give away, other than advice? It
maintains lot of handshaking
brothers on good salaries, but that
does not help the poor fellow out
Of work, with family to feed and
clothc.
In all the appeals we receive, the
orphan, the aged and hungry are
featured, but nothing ever is said
about the aforementioned group.

Look to Future

A MOTHER phase of the problem
IA which Virginia people appear
to understand is, that no matter
what, or how much, they may do
for temporary relief, they can not
hope to remedy the situation, ex-
cept by putting business back where
it was.
That, too, is an important idea.
We must get back where we were,
in principle at least, to get any
where, and no measure should be
adopted without such end in view.
In so far as possible, people should
be given the kind of work to which
they are accustomed, instead of be-
ing thrust into places they are unfit
to fill.
In so far as possible, efforts
should be directed toward the re-
Mobilization of old enterprises and
activities, rather than toward the
starting of new ones.
In so far as possible, every de-
scription of business should be en-
couraged to resume and carry on
instead of taking a day off, while
some government agency steps into
the breach.

What's the Rush?

DUT it seems to me that time
ID must wipe out the memory Of
the young dead in shattered cities
before we begin to worship the fly
ing machine as a benficent thing.
And there must be considered, too,
the toll of those swallowed up in the
sea and broken in lonely forests.
These men and women have given
their lives that the airplane might
survive and flourish. What price
aviation?
No one fairly can answer that
question Unless he is able to foretell
the kind of world in which he will
be living fifty years hence.
If the plane is to exist chiefly as
a device for making war more wide
spread and terrible, then 1 say it
were better if the Wrights never had
risen on that first hop at Kitty
hawk. Such barriers to conflict as
the wide oceans have been obliter-
ated by the potential radius OF the
bomber.

broad expanse from here to Rome
or Paris, his journey can not be set
down as a good will fight without
certain reservations. Each new ex-
plot sets the men in the war col
leges to preparing fresh figures and
shaping plans to meet the practi-
cality of worldwide war.
1t would be silly to deny that the
airplane may serve to enrich life
and living. 1t can wipe out bound
aries and mountain chains for war
like purposes, but this same con-
quest of the wide spaces could serve
to emphasize a feeling Of interna-
tional solidarity.
The vision of q united world no
longer is fantastic. Even within our
time it may be possible to span the
globe between sunrise and sunset.
In another century there will re-
main no such thing as an isolated
people.

BERNHARDT'S BIRTH
October 2S-

ON Oct. %, 1s45, Sarah Bern
~ hardt, great French tragic &C
tress, was born at Paris. Her par
ents were Jewish, but she was edu-
Gated at a convent.
She made her first appearance on
the stage in 1862, but attracted
little attention. Three years later
however, she became an overnight
favorite by her playing of the part
of the queen in Victor Hugo's Ruy
Bias.
The Franco PrusSian war inter-
rupted her career, and for while
she became a nurse.
In 1879 she had a famous season
in London. BY this time her repu-
tation as the greatest actress Of heI
day was securely established.
She then toured with great sue
cess all the principal countries OF
Europe and North and South Amer
lea. In January, 1914, the Legion
of Honor was conferred upon her
During the World war she played al
the front despite the fact she could
no longer walk or stand unaided. an
accident having led to the amputa-
ton of a leg.
Endowed with a matches
voice." as one critic wrote, she had
a remarkable gift of artistic poise
and movement"
She was also a painter and sculp-
tor and wrote two plays in addition
to a volume Of memoirs.

Great Britain, by restatement of policy, has be-
rayed her pledge to support and protect the develop
ment Of Jewish national homeland in Palestine, ac-
cording to the Jewish leaders.
In protest DR.. Chain Weizrnann has resigned as
president of the Jewish Agency and of the Zionist
World Organization, Lord Melchett has resigned as
chairman of the Agency council, Felix M Warburg
has resigned chairman of the Agency administra-
tive committee and the American Jewish congress has
condemned the action of the London government.
Neutral observers naturally find it easier than the
Jews to understand London's point of view. Great
Britain feels that she must guard the interests of the
Arabs who constitute most of the population This
responsibility always uppermost in the mind of Lon
don not only matter of justice to the Arabs but
because Of British imperial interests
After all allowances are made, however there is no
denying that Britain has let down the Jews Britain
knew the cost when during the war, she issued the
Bafour declaration for Jewish homeland if she did
not intend to pay the price she should not have made
the bargain
For better or for worse this is one wartime pledge
on which Britain can not WEIGH with safety The Jews
of the world have put too much labor and faith and
money into their national homeland to be deprived
of it at this late day. without causing Britain endless
trouble
The Simpson report and the London governments
covering white paper certainly have blasted the foun
dations OF the homeland by seriously curtang Jewish
immigration and Jewish purchase of Arab lands
The Jews not be blamed for interpreting this
latest move against them in the light of past failures
OF the British government in Palestine to protect them
from Arab massacrea British failure atested by the
recent critical report of the League of Nations man
dates commission
- The Jewish Agency, the official recognized public
body charged with cooperation with the mandate
power should lose no time in appealing from the Lon
don decision to Geneva the grounds that the intent
Of the mandate has been violated
This is not the first incident, nor Palestine the
first country to raise questions in the neutral mind as
to the justice of the value Of the entire mandates
system.
Why should Great Britain, the United States, or
any other nation for that matter, be given arbi-
trary power to rule alien peoples? In this case
obviously self-government would mean Arab domina-
ton over the Jews.
But If an impartial outside administration is re-
CURED can not that be provided better by truly in
ternatonal administration than by colonial British
government?

RE seems to be a current be.

RE seems to be current be-
n lief that the world may find
an airway to salvation. orators urge
us to become plane-conscious. Fer
vent appeals are made to the wom-
en- of the land to take up flying.
People who refuse to avail them
selves of the new means of trans
portation are looked upon not only
as craven, but in some way Sedi-
tious.
Possibly I am merely echoing the
old prejudice which went down
fighting under the wheels of the
locomotives, but I think that avia-
ton still must prove itself boon to
man.
At the moment, the score stands
against the new invention. There is
blood upon the fuselage.
At present the airplane's chief
Importance is that of a new en-
CINE of war. 1t was the plane which
carried death and destruction be-
hind the lines to the noncombat-
ants.
This, to be sure, may prove q
factor in the establishment of peace
Possibly nations will kindle less
quickly under the realization that
neutral zones have been abolished
and that another conflict would find
even the most secluded hamlet a
city Of the front.

The Man for the Job

President Hoover could not have made better
choice than Colonel Arthur Woods to head the new
federal unemployment relief organization.
Woods has a national reputation as an able ad-
ministrator and public leader He knows how to work
with people and to get things done quickly. His
achievements as police commissioner of New York City
and as organizer of unemployment relief in 1919 and
in 1921 we're noteworthy.
Even though he is handicapped by late start In
this emergency, Woods can do wonders if the admin
istraton will cut red tape and give him vigorous CO.
operation.

Goal of Inquiry

TINE goal of the Brush Inquiry
4 DR.. Todd says, was indicated
by the deed of gift under which DR..
Brush set up the foundation.
Therein we read" he says, that
the foundation was established ito
finance efforts contributing toward
betterment of human stock and to-
ward regulation of the increase Of
population, to the end that chill
dren shall be begotten only under
conditions which make possible
heritage of mental and physical
health, and a favorable environ
ment."
THAT word heritage is impor-
tant. It means more than inheri-
lance, more than heredity. 1t re-
fers to the possessions of the child
for which his parents are response
BILE. It was never DR.. Brush's
thought to limit his gift to an en-
deavor which might break down in
philosophic confusion between he
redity and environment.
1.-THE problem of the inquiry then
is the registration and analysis Of
heritage. To what extent the par
ents influence their child through
the germplasm and to what extent
through family environment is by
no means clear.
Nor can we segregate these in
f1uences if we sit down before the
grown man or woman who is ham
dicapped with all the scars, both of
heredity and environment.
IF, however, we take the child
before environment has had time
to mold him, and watch him grow
to maturity, we may solve the prob
lem. At least we shall have the
necessary data upon which to base
our practical efforts"

Our Morale Is Shaky

THERE is no discounting the fact
i that we lost a lot in the stock
crash, lot more through the slump
in foreign trade, lot more because
Of the drought, and a lot more as
the result of unemployment.
But when you ret right down to
brass tacks, our greatest loss is In
the realm of nerve and morale.
Where is that robust courage, that
untrammeled faith, that never-say-
die spirit that dared to bet its last
dollar and all it could borrow on
stock which never had paid a divi-
dend when Wall Street was dane
ing to the tune Of eight million
share days?
I am not talking to those who
went broke, or lost their jobs, but
to those who have plenty left, who
are more scared than hurt, who
could do far more than they are
doing if they only would.

what is served by new risks and new
fatalities in transatlantic ventures
do not comprehend.
Each missing plane seems to me
sacrifice in vain. AS yet devel-
opments in flying are a shade one
sided. Speed is being increased with
great rapidity. We know that ma
chimes ma be built to travel more
than 300 miles an hour. Somewhat
less attention has been paid to sta
bility.
The news columns chronicle all
too often the death of veteran pilots
who have crashed for reasons unex-
planned. A little less haste and more
safety would be welcomed.

1E most interesting political battle in tl1e count

ME most interesting political battle in the country
L Is being waged in Pennsylvania
Clifford Pinchot, Republican candidate for Gov
eor Is opposed by President Atterbury of the Penn
sylVanla railroad and other Republican leaders.
These leaders do not like Pinchots declaration for
more rigid regulation Of public utilities and will
support the Democratic candidate, who has declared
for regulation a. is.
Pinchot long has been leader in the nation
wide movement for utility control and for public
ownership, where practicable.
His stand on this question would elect him by a
huge majority, but he is also running as dry and
Pennsylvania is supposed to be several degrees wet
ter than the Atlantic ocean.
And his opponent is wet.
DNCHOT long has been colorful figure, having
first entered politics at the invitation of Roose-
welt, who put him in charge OF conservation.
In this position he held over in the Taft admin
istraton and soon locked horns with Balnger, Sec
rotary Of the interior.
He is very rich and enjoys the distinction of being
one of the very few representatives of wealth who
takes the public's side in economic and industrial
matters
His election would make him the most powerful
force in Pennsylvania and it would give the inde-
pendents great boost.
There are many who think that the day is not
remote when parties will be reorganized along the
lines of economic and industrial liberalism which
would split both organizations up the back.
Sure it is that we can not forever go with two
parties standing for practically the thing.
TINE prohibition issue will not bring about this
l. organization of parties, for while both of them
widely divided about it. We will not have ma
ti0nal campaign with of the great parties wet
and the other one dry.
Both will keep their eyes peeled for popular feeling
and you will find them both in the same boat wheth-
er it be tight or leaky.
Pinchct is game fighter; he fights aloue and
likes it and he has shown keen foresight for the
only times he dehed the machine ne beat it for the
nomination and that's going some in Pennsylvania.

HEALTH SERVICE
Skin EruptiOns Often Disease Signal

In measles, the patient usually
breaks out on the third or the
fourth day with dark red velvety
spots on the face and these rapidly
spread over the trunk and the ex-
tremitieS.
One of the signs of measles are
blush white Specks surrounded by
red ring which can be seen in
strong daylight on>the lining of the
cheeks and lips. These are known
as koplik spots.
There are many industries in
which the use of chemicals will
produce strange swellings on the
hands and splashing sometimes re-
suits in similar marks upon the
skin elsewhere on the body.
Almost invariably, any serious
disease of the blood manifests
itself by change in the appear
ance of the skin.

issues or constructing power plants buys advice from
himself at large fee. and UNDERWRITERS himself for
substantial consideration.
But it has remained for DR.. Ray Lyman Wilbur
of California to introduce somewhat similar practice
into the government service
Wilbur is president of Stanford university on leave
but still drawing salary and retaining control over
university policies He also is secretary Of interior
and member of the federal power commission.
The relation between Wilburs private and public
positions is interesting Stanford university has in
vested seven million dollars in public utility bonds,
about a fourth of its income producing endowment
1t is much larger sum than the university SO had
invested before Dr. Wilbur became president large
proportion of the university trustees are public
utility officials.
AS member Of the federal power commission Will

profits of public utility companies.

right to determine what expenditures properly can

1T has been said again and again
4 that the skin is the mirror OF
the body. There are numerous dis
eases affecting the human being as
a whole in which eruptions appear
on the skin as one of the signs of
the disturbance.
In typhoid fever, there is an erup-
ton which appears on the abdomen,
chest and back from the seventh to
the ninth day. In pneumonia the
form of blister that is called a
fever sore occurs around the mouth
in 20 per cent of the cases.
tuberculosis has all sorts OF
manifestations upon the skin, as
do also the more serious of the
disorders known as social diseases.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

Indeed, so frequent and SO varied
are the skin manifestations of these
two diseases that medical students
are instructed again and again to
look for other manifestations of
tuberculosis and of syphilis when
ever a skin eruption not easily
diagnosed is seen.
In scarlet fever, the eruption ap-
pears at the end of the first or the
beginning of the second day of the
disease. 1t first is seen on the
neck and chest and rapidly spreads
to other parts of the body.
The eruption of scarlet fever, as
the name of the disease indicates,
is a bright scarlet.
In chickenpoX, the eruption ap-
pears within the first twenty-four
hours and rapidly develops into lit
tie blister-like spots, mostly upon
the trunk. These come out in crops
over period of several days.
