"the flower of death" from his tong.
Though a policeman has been set
to guard his house, and though the
authorities are willing to do what
they can for his protection, it is
taken for granted that he presently
will pass out of the picture.
In other words, the state of New
Jersey is not at all sure that it can
prevent a group of chinese from
killing one of their number, openly,
deliberately, and after having pub
lished their intention to do so.
Out in Milwaukee, the editor Of a

The judge to whom the ap-

though courts have the right to
issue such injunction, the facts in
this particular case do not warrant
it.

the only method of control known
to medical science include the gen.
eral care of the child, healthy sur
roundings, and a well-balanced diet.
Diseases of the heart seem to be
associated with infections elsewhere
in the body, particularly in the nose
and throat.
The early detection of such cases,
and particularly the early detection
of heart disease and treatment by
absolute rest constitute the most
scientific medicine has to offer at
the present moment in the control
of such conditions.
The greatest advances made by
modern medical science are pre-
vention of infant mortality and
acute infections in childhood. Never
theleSs, these still take a consider
able toll of humanity.
The reasons are two: First, the
necessity for more knowledge than
scientific medicine now has; second,
lack Of education Of the public in

NATIONAL ELECTION DAY
Jan. %

NN Jan. %, 1845, Congress desig-
~ mated the present national
election day as Tuesday after the
first Monday in November.
The continental congress APP
pointed the first Wednesday in
January, 1885, as the day for choos-
ing the first electors; the first
Wednesday in February as the day
for the electors to give their votes,
and the first Wednesday in March
as the day for the new government
to go into operation.
In 1892 congress enacted that
the appointment of electors should
be made within thirty-four days
preceding the first Wednesday Of
December, every fourth year; and
this rule continued In force until
1845, when congress made the day
uniform throughout the union-the
Tuesday next after the first Mon
day in November.
The first Wednesday in March,
1889, was the fourth day of that
month. Congress enacted in 1892
that the term ofafour years Of the
President and e-President be-
ing on March 4, and Amendment
XII makes this day q part Of the

More Security Sought

A s law enforcement fails, the
N cry for security increases, and
with good reason.
Though it is true that we have
given the human baby a better
chance to grow up than it ever
enjoyed before, as far as disease is
concerned, we have confronted it
with a greater risk of getting killed
in q dozen different ways.

It goes without saying that most
people want the naval conference
to succeed, not only because it
might make war less probable, but
because it certainly would reduce
taxes.
What they want more than that,
however, is protection against the
violent, or unnatural, causes of
death or physical injury which have
come to beset them on every hand.
While many of these causes are
mechanical in their nature, and can
be remedied only by mechanical
means, quite a few of them rest
on our apparent inability to enforce
the law,

LOOMING to London with the idea
~ that an Anglo-American ALI
ance only had not been established,
but that it represented the greatest
threat to France, Andre Tardieu
finds himself permitted to act as
peacemaker between Ramsay Mac
Donald and Henry L. Stinlson-
To let him tell it. England and
the United States have not only
failed to form an entente cordiale,
but actually are facing dangerous
split.
Not Degrading Mr.. Tardieu any
credit he may deserve, or receive, in
his efforts to reconcile these two
governments, 1t is only fair to recall
that he made whale of a mistake
at the start.
Secretary of Treasury Mellon in
dorses the idea of transferring the
job of enforcing prohibition from
his shoulders to those of the depart
ment of justice.
So would any one else in Mr..
Melons place.
Law enforcement, not only with
regard to prohibition, but with re-
gard to most everything else, has
become a rather thanklesS task IN
these days of super-regulation on
the one hand and popular resistance
on the other. 1t probably suffers
from nothing so distinctly as the
fact that nobody who can get out
of it wants to assume it.

SCIENCE
The Nation Has Entered a
Ne20 Era IN the Field of
City Planning, Says Los
Angeles Expert.
: By DAVID DIETZ

A S 1880 gets under way, the out
IA look for comprehensive, intelli-
gent city planning is better than
ever before, according to Charles
II. Cheney Of Los Angeles, chair
man of the committee on city and
regional planning Of the American
Institute of Architects.
Two hundred forty American
cities have city plans in various
stages of completion and $50 have
planning commissions. Cheney says
in a review OF the progress made in
1929.
"a few really great plans have
been brought out during 1929 he
says. Most notable of these is the
New York regional plan, presented
to the city last June after seven
years of intensive study.
Then there is that enormous
group of new public structures III

opment program, with its great

Il era in the field of city planning.
Cheney believes. He calls 1t the
planning age.
This is an age that will brook
no little plans, no tinkering, no
dalliance with halfway measures, "
he says.
1.-THE emphasis today is no longer
merely upon economic or social
grounds. Esthetic considerations
must be met. Beauty has become
the watchword of business and in
dustry and beautiful cities are de-
manded of our city planners"
Cheney feels, however, that the
nation is a long way from the goal
which architects believe it should
strive for.
america must build better cities"
he says. 1--WE are a rich nation,
but a tawdry one in appearance.
Our station in civilization demands
and requires a better dress. Our
progress in education and culture
insists upon better environmental
condition for our children and our
children's children.
"Our cities, their architecture and
planning, are the chief measure Of
our civilization.
Despite the falling off in build
ing, during the last year something
more than four billion dollars for
new structures was expended in
cities and towns of this country. Yet
it is estimated roughly that three
billion dollars worth Of these struc-
lures were so ugly, SO badly planned,
SO inappropriately located or or
such narrow or announcement street,
as to have been a liability instead
of an asset, almost from the day
they were completed"
