MIR. WICkERSHAM TALKS S WITH DPTINI~N-BIT

NIT. Wlckersham, as chairman Of the Hoover law enforcement com- mission, gives the impression that a fact-finding body needs plenty of time to locate all the necessary facts; for instance, another year will be required by the commission to conclude it's work. That estimate of time may be only approximate, and the actual time may be longer. Then Congress may have an opportunity to discuss the recommendations in the final report, or perhaps tha 5'res- ident himself will take some time to consider if. Around the corner will be another presidential election campaign, and perhaps jockeying will already be under way in con- nection with the national conven- tions. In considering all of these po- tentialities, and especially taking into account the reluctance Of politi- cal minded men in and ont Of Con- gress to touch anything that might have the effect of dynamite upon the voting citizenry, there is the probability that nothing much will be done about the Wickersham re- port. It may turn out 10 be just one of those things that take up our time and patience.

INCREASING VICTIMS OF MODERN "PRESSURE'

After having lived an active life, 1 Don Miguel Primo de Rivera y Orbaneja died of heart disease. The day news of his demise was Haunt ed in the worlds newspapers came d statement through the mails from one of the countrys largest fact finding institutions which was head ed, Heart Disease Increasing in Middle and Older Ages"
 In 1920 heart disease as a cause Of death had a rate of 3 per cent t: in 1929 the rate had jumped to IT per cent. With this increase has also come an advance in other diseases of the crculatory system, including diseases of the arteries and the kidneys.
 "An important contributing req son for this is the stress of modern life," it was stated. "A great many men of middle age work too hard, worry too much, sleep too little, and over-indulge in eating and drinking"
 One lmagines that Primo de Rivera was this type of man. He was disciple of the strenuous life and was an example of too much strenuousity. When he gave up the premiership it was suggested that the plea of ill-health was an excuse 10 escape the burdens of a dictator ship. It turns out that this surmise was incorrect.
 One of the triumphs of modern medicine has been to reduce infant mortality. More so than ever had been the case in the history of the world, a child once born has a greater chance of remaining alive. Diseases of childhood and the young also have been well conquered, and even our schools, once given over to elementary education exclusively are laboratories for supervising the health of children. The results are self evident on every hand.
 It is when individuals reach mid dIe life that the same care and prudence is not carried out. Long before citizens reach this age they are left 10 their own devices and too frequently fail 10 be successful in maintaining sound health. The methods 10 attain this end are simple enough, according 10 the medical profession, but it appears that most of us are in too much of a hurry to bother and have too many other things to worry about.
 Every once in a while statistics show us up and we become momen- tarily uneasy.

POLL SPORTSMANSHIP

A certain sportsmanship is neces- sary to meet with the approval of the general public. The average per son is pot inclined to think we'll of the lea lers of a cause who lack the elements of sportsmanship, or fail play.
 Certain dry leaders have allowed it to be known that they heartily disapprove of the national prohibi. ton poll under way. Among these are the officials of the Anti Saloon League. All sorts of spacious req soning is advanced for disliking the Digest poll; leaving us to judge that the main reason is a fear Of the pro- hibitionists being defeated in the poll.
 The attitude taken is questionable in another respect. Ever since the 18th amendment was created the nation has been told by the dry leaders that it came about through the action of an overwhelming ma ioritv of citizens. The nation, actu- ally and through the actions of state legislatures, has been dry by a huge majorlty--according to the dry lead- CTS.
 If that were the case then there should be no hesitancy by leaders of dry organizations to prove it through such a poll. It is incon- ceiyahle how a poll of 20,OOo,o00 citizens, which had been found sub stantially correct in presidential should be incorrect in a prohibition poll. The supposed dry areas of the country are boiled as we'll as the wet areas.
 The dry leaders, it appears, did not object to such a poll during the Hoover-S Smith campaign, when 1t was evident that Mr. Hoover would win it.
 One is led 10 surmise they only dislike such polls when it seems likely they will lose.
 If it should turn out that the dryS gain the mastery in the Digest Poll we expect to hear no more about its alleged shortcomings. In such a case it will be accepted with thanks, Joy and will be the subject of frequent allusions in speeches, articles and clip sheets.
 The poll will go on, and each side, if inclined toward fair play, should prepare to accept the verdict grace fully.

en are not satisfied with it can be assumed from the fact that it's dis functions between married men and married women is sought to be eradicated by the so-called eqHJ rights amendment to the Constitu- ton, which is proposed by the Ma tional Woman's Party in this coun- try. The possibility of attaching another amendment to the Constitu- ton, however, is slim at this time. One of the results of the 18th amendment is the creation of a dis tinct public antipathy toward any further constitutional amendments Observers say that this antipathy will last a decade or two longer.
 The first legislation by Congress on naturalization came early in the country's history when in 1790 citi- zenship was established largely on the basis of jus sanguinis (status by blood). Section l of the 14th amendment bases citizenship also on the jus soli (status by place Of birth) It provides that all born in the United States, subject to its jurisdiction. are citizens; so that native born children, Of Chinese, themselves, ineligible for citlzcn- ship, are United States citizens. Some countries follow the jus sanguinis in their citizenship laws, others the jus soli, and still others both systems. It accordingly happens that a con- siderable number of persons in the United States have no legal nation- ality, while others have two legal nationalities.
 The unqualified right of a married woman to her own nationality is recognized by certain American re- publics and Soviet Russia. But al- most a score of others, including the United States, recognize that right only with certain limitations.

OUR BULL FIGHTER WHO GOT HURT


 fewer opportunities in the United States than in Spain. He'happens to be in racket that is too much in the open to prosper in the L. S. A. All he does is to go into bull ring and finds no time while there to play marbles.
 One Of the worlds easiest ac- complishmcnts is to make a bull mistake it's surroundings for the usual china shop. Mr. Franlilin's job is to furnish the china if the bull provides the anger. Then he tries 10 throw the bull, or kill it while the bull isn't looking or per haps charges without thinking-as- suming. of course, that bull can think when he is mad.
 This job pays big money-in Spain Mir. Franklin, who comes
 
 more than the truck and taxicab drivers in his home town, and more than some of it's real estate agents, lawyers, doctors and editors. If he didn't he wouldn't stay in Spain. Sport is sport. but it takes money to keep a loyal Brooklynite in Madrid. Brooklyn bull throwers may love their sport, but like profession- al baseball players, they love their income more.
 Mr. Franklin, toreador that he is. tackled the wrong bull the other day. But even that would have not made such a difference had it not been for the fact that for fraction of second the bull-artist turned his gaze away from the determined ami nal. During that fraction Of time the bull charged. and he made no mistake. Tho gory details were diffi- cult for d sensitive nature to read, and we have no desire to repeat them.
 Despite the fact that Mir Frank lin suffered great pain and is seri- ously injured, he no doubt will le. cover and return 10 inc bull ring. Money talks, even in Spain, and the toreador who is eored by an animal survives and recovers and returns 10 the scene of his triumphs always draws more money at the gate than ever before. This thought, no doubt. will help our fellow citizen 10 re- cover.
 Please do not misconstruo these remarks as not giving Mr. Frank lin a decent break while he is help less in a hospital lie has our sin cere sympathy and our wish for an carly recovery. lie is like our ! priZeflghters, however, who will take d tremendous mauling in the expectation of getting hold of enough money at one time to last many years.

NATIONALITY OF MARRIED
 WOMEN

It is satisfying to learn that at the forthcoming international con- ference to codify international law, 10 be held at The Hague, one of the reforms to be proposed will be that no distinction be recognized between men and women in nationality.
 Men and women are equal be- fore the law, in theory; but in practice, when nationality is con- cerned, there is considerable diff ference. A woman, as everyone knows, can legally be citizen Of several countries at the same time. This dual nationality makes for endless trouble, and frequently pro- vides inconvenience.
 In the United States the citizen ship of married woman was pro- foundly altered by theaCable act of 1922. The turn has not been alto gcther for the better. Before the application of that law the citizen ship of a married woman in the United States followed that of ner husband. That is, an alien woman automatically became a United States citizen on marrying a Citi- zen, or when her husband became citizen and. conversely, a woman citizen automatically became an alien on marrying a husband who was not q citizen.
 Since the passage of the Cable law, however, the citizenship of a married woman became independent of that of her husband. The law at present is summarized as follows; The Cable act made the citizen ship of q married woman independ- ent of that Of her husband. A wam- an who is a United States citizen does not lose her citizenship on marrying an alien. A married Wom- l an who is not a United States i citizen must obtain naturalization | exactly as a male alien, However, the act specifically permits Il married V oman who is citizen formally to rcnounce her citizenship. The act also places native-born woman ill the status of a naturalized citizen i by providing that she is presumed 1 to have cancelled her citizenship ii she InGrrics an alien and resides in , his country for two years or in an ! other foreign land for five years
 Finally, the Cable act provides that a woman citizen loses her citizenship 1 if she marries an alien raCially in- | eligible 10 citizenship, and that she may not regain it so long as that <. marital relationship continues. (An act of 1924 allows the alien wife Of | United States citizen to enter the
 country outside the immigration
 quota.)

 about the above status Of married

4 "LOT O EUN' OUT OF POLITICS

Some folks play golf and others tennis; some play baseball and others go fishing; some hike and others motor; but politicians get "a lot O fun" out Of what they happen to be playing just now. And they get this fun, win or lose.
 The contestants for the mayor alty nomination in the Republican party are having rallies" each talk ing care that the other does not ap- pear more frequently in public. Their numerous managers and aids have lively hand in the political pud- ding, too, and good time is being had by all. Once in while, per haps, even the audiences enjoy the show, especially if the speakers are thoughtful enough to interlard mirth- provoking jokes.
 Politicians are at their best dur ing a campaign. That is the time when they are friendly to everybody and promise to do their best in every matter, whether important or merely trivial, that is brought to their at tention." Everyone with vote is we'll taken care of-that is, verbal ly.
 Already they are beginning to re- fer to their records and asking if the other fellows record is quite as good. Pointing with pride to ones record is one way of impressing the voters with the need for men of eX- perience at the helm Of affairs. But sometimes the voters discuss more in the records than the candidates care 10 mention; and that isn't so very good.
 The old story about tax rates hay ing gone up also has crept into the discussions. The inference IS that, if elected, the candidate will have d hand in reducing the tax rates in the future. We have never heard of a candidate who wasn't extra good at this kind Of prognostication. Ac- cording to the candidates in every election, the tax rate is sure to go down if the people have sense cnonugh 10 elect the speaker or the one he is speaking for. After Inc election, of course, the tax rate js as likely to go up as down, depending upon matters outside the control o' the mayor.
 All we have to say in this con nection is that the candidate who promises the tax rate is soiUG around zero after he is elected, and who promises the bonded indcbt- edness will be revolutioHizcd in the direction of zero, and who promises plenty of public Improvements 10 please the voters living in the dis tricts needing them-all without 9 definite effect on the tax rate--and who says 6 bigger water system, and an improved sewerage disposal sys tenn, and more and better schools can be provided without making themselves felt upon the tax rate the pended debt and the city. financial statement in general, t not being asked enough question, by the embattled citizenry forced (t listen to the baloncy.

New York, March 1S.-Broad- ways Bad Boy, Mickey Arnstein, is on the up-and-up again, and the hardboiled thoroughfare is dimpled in q secret gloat. His marriage a month or so ago to lady of millions has put him ''in the big money" again when the eXchequer was low.
 Arnstein has drifted in and out of prison. penniless one day and flush the next, married beautiful, rich and talented women and with all his ups and downs invariably turns up unexpectedly as the gr1- cious and fortunate rogue of fic- tion-smiling and debonair.
 He has the Mephistophelian manner Of the villain in the play tall, engaging and fashionably at tired. He has black, piercing eyes, a glossy mustache and patent leath- CT hair -nd can modulate his voice to a drawing oom purr or talk out of the side of his mouth, prison style.
 His amazing display of bravado was when the police of all cities were trailing him in connection with the $5,OO0.0O0 Wall street bond theft. Mickey in an open automobile drove alongside Q police parade down Fifth avenue, and with insn- uating mockery stood up and cheer eG the pageant.
 An hour later he dropped into headquarters 10 give himself up. His marriage to Fannie Brice was con- sidered an "epic of Broadway love-" The devotion of the actress to him, despite his devious escapades, reads like a chapter from the Nfe of a TO- mantle Apache.
 With a twisted smile of suffering she sang My Man" so effectively the night after his arrest that it scftened the -brolling heart Of the late Arnold Rothstein at front row table at the Frolc. He sent for her and turned over $100.- 900 in bonds to bail Nicky out of durance vile.
 But Mickey could not be content with only one love in his ad venturous life, and at last Miss Brica divorced him. Arstein vanished, "grievously stricken" he said. And now as Jules w. Arnstein, he and lis bride are honeymooning in a swanky Sutton Place homc-the so- cial roost of the Morgans and Van derbilts.
