A Very Good Airplane

The workmen who put together the monoplane
Columbia evidently did good job that they can be
extremely proud Of Seldom has piece of machn-
cry given better account Of itself than this famous
airplane.
Clarence Chamberlin took the monoplane across
the Atlantic without a hitch. 1t survived the to-
bogganing that Charles Levine gave it, made fight
from New York to Havana and few from the Arneri-
can mainland to Bermuda and back and now it
crosses the Atlantic again, efficiently as if that
perilous and difficult flight the simplest thing
on earth.
If all these flights had been made with the same
pilot at the controls, would be gaping, awestruck

guided the Columbia through the skies, and the ship
has performed well for all of them Apparently this
graceful little monoplane is about good an air.

The Judicial Veto

Before the WickershAm commission writes ATS
much-debated next report on law enforcement, it
might do well to reflect upon study Of judicial power
recently made by Jacob Q. Harper California at
torney
Many of the ills from WHICH our nation suffers
can be traced the fact that let our courts
rule decisions of our legislative bodies Harper be-
lieves. -
He blames the judicial veto for:
Uncertainty as to what the law is and loss of re-
spect for it.
Increase in litigation, congestion in courts, and
breakdown in the administration of justice.
The inordinate length of Constitutions, in winch
elaboration is necessary because courts have read
many meanings into general words.
Increase of feeling of inequality before the law.
Impairment of the efficiency and quality of legis-
atve bodies by substituting for the question of the
need and wisdom of law controversy over the tech
nical legalstic concept of power to enact it.
This is severe indictment But it is one which
deserves consideration.
The United States is the only nation in the world
that has placed such farreaching power in the hands
of its judiciary The judicial veto is only an expert
ment in policy not thing irnmutable and holy.
No study of law enforcement is complete unless
this, too is studied

Taxi Regulation

Low taxi fares form one of the best advertisements
that any city may possess Visitors who carry away
pleasant recolections of cheap transportation are
likely to be more generous and appreciatve in their
other judgments.
Therefore any proposed model ordinance which
contains provision for minimum fares should be
scrutnized most carefully by safety board and city
council Especially is this important in view OF the
charge made by the United Cab Company that pro-
posed ordinance designed to compel it to raise ITS
, rates.
1t is a matter Of history that before this company
entered the field this city had the reputation for such
high rates that it was avoided when possible by traV
eIers compelled to use cabs.
In theory, at least, this company is cooperative
enterprise with owners of cabs acting drivers This
should make for safety and service 1t should encor-
age the old spirit of the Independent business man as
against that of the hired employe.
If these owners of cabs, by combining their capital
and their labor have found it possible to give salts
factory service greatly reduced rates. they should
be encouraged and not penazed, for their thrift and
industry.

Magazine.
GENERAL substances have been
- found which have the special
power of coagulating the blood, and
it may be necessary to apply these
substances to wounds which ooze
severely.
It is also necessary to sustain the
patient who may show signs of
shock or failing heart action due
to excessive loss of blood. The
physician is acquainted with num-
erous drugs available for this pur-
pose.
The person who has lost a good
deal of blood obviously loses fluids
at the same time as he loses blood,
and is likely to show strong synp-
toms of this condition.
The amount of additional fluid
to be given to him must, of course,
be judged by the physician on the
basis of his experience.
After the hen1orrhage has ceased,
the physician is confronted with the
problem of building the blood again
to its original quantity and quality,
and with protecting the organs of
the patient against the blood loss
that has been sustained.

Il Means Work

WE simply can't live of each
w other at home, unless we are
willing to stop growing. The only
alternative is to find an outlet for
our surplus energy and products
somewhere else, and the only way
to do that is to take hold and make
it possible for other people to de-
velop the necessary buying power.
There isn't much of a mystery tc
the proposition, though there is q
lot of hard work, especially in its
preliminary stages.
If the portion of our wheat crop
that Asia needs we're going there
we wouldn't have any surplus tc
worry about, but it is not going
there, and it won't, until the coolies
can afford to'buy bread.
If even a few of the more highly
civilized nations could afford to run
automobiles the way we do, there
would be no necessity of running
our factories on half time, or closing
them for a month now and then.
1t takes the average Frenchman
about twice as long to earn an
ounce of gold as it does the average
American, the average German
about three times as long, and the
average Pole, Slav, Spaniard, or
Greek even longer, while the
swarming hordes of Asia are so low
as not to be worth comparison.
Our own ancestors were just as
bad off at one time, which shows
what can be done.

Broadcasting and Sports

Now that the world series broadcasts are over for
sanother year. the American radio fan is settling down
to get his football out of the loud speaker and it
occurs to us to wonder how long it will be before
the big broadcasting companies get around to hiring
real sports experts to describe great athletic events
1t is no criticism of the regular broadcasers to say
that they are not fitted for this job Describing a
baseball game, football game a prize fight is a
job for man who has had especial training. The
ms and outs of these ganes-te fine points that the
average fan wants to hear abouttend to escape the
eyes of an observer who isn't thoroughly acquainted
with them The result is that the radio fan often
gets let down badly.
A newspaper would not send its police reporter
to cover the opening of play, no matter how
good he might be at covering his own field. Why
can not the broadcasting companies be equally SEN
sible? r

Blood Must Match in TRANSMISSION

from 4,500,000 to 100000 red blood

it also contains approximately Is
grams of hemoglobin or red color

Sometimes the fluid matter of the

Obviously, either of these pro-
cesses is exceedingly dangerous, and
it is necessary to be sure that the

Farmer Self-Help

THE greatest assistance that can come from fed
eral and state aid is the gradual development OF a
svsten1 of eroeer-owned controlled cooperative
marketing" said Charles c. league, California menu
Der of the federal farm board speaking today in
Utica.
league said that the farmers troubles never will
be solved by legislation alone, that Sterilization cor
porations to deal in SURPRISES warranted only as
emergency measures, and that the law of supply and
demand can not be houted. Here is touch of real
ism sadly lacking in most of the clumsy efforts at
farm relief in the past

helped organize and heads two of Californie's
most successful marketing associations. those of the

/ of the same type, and it may be
desirable to make accurate tests
OF small quantities of blood under
the microscope before the trans
fusion is finally made.
1t then is possible to inject into
the person concerned any amount
of blood that may be considered de-
sirable.
In addition to injecting the whole
blood, good effects sometimes are
had by injecting merely the fluid
matter of the blood, but under mod
ern conditions with our knowledge
concerning the mixture of blood,
TRANSMISSION of considerable quanti-
ties of whole blood is considered
quite safe.
Certainly in cases where the num-
Der of red blood cells has fallen be-
low 100000, or the heInoglobin
below 80 per cent. blood TRANSMISSION
should be given quickly as life
saving measure.
In cases in which convalescence
seems to be unduly prolonged or
in which the blood building seems
to be going on very slowly, blood
TRANSMISSION may be considered de-
sirable to take some of the burden
off the blood forming organs and
enable them to have q, reasonable
amount of rest in their work.

SAYS:

With Halt the Human Race
Hungry, 1t Is Little Less
Than Criminal to Say That
We Are Producing Too
Much Food.
TOO much meat, says the Wall
Street Journal, and that proba-
bly, is true if existing conditions are
accepted as beyond human power to
change.
But why take that attitude? Why
imagine there can be such things as
TOO much meat, or of any other food
staple. as long as millions of people
are hungry?
The problem of overproduction in
any line admits of two solutions.
We can curtail the supply, or in
crease the consumption.
In case of luxury, the wisdom
of increasing the consumption may
be debatable, but in case Of a ne
cessity, there is no room for argu-
rilent.
With half the human race hun
gry, it is little less than criminal to
entertain the thought that We are

While Republican orators platltudlnously
are asking for the reelection Of state candl-
dates. ION their records" the people are
waiting for one specific detail from any one
of the political officials showing him entitled
to any consideration.
The administration of the office OF sec
rotary of state by Otto Fifield has been IN
spired purely by political motives, without
one thought of public welfare.
The state police have been worse than
useless except in the primaries and elections
where they have been pernicious.
State Auditor Bobbitt has permitted
thousands of dollars in gasoline tax to be
lost to the state And such compromises
as he has made. with offenders, always
caught by outsiders have magnified the neg
ligence in collection.
The two years of Leslie's administration,
for which Endorsement is asked through
legislature which will continue its extrava-
gance. and refrain from curiosity as to trans
actions of the highway department, will go
down in Indiana history as one of the worst
from the viewpoint of either economy or
protection of public interest.
In every crisis it has failed. In every
routine it has dubbed the ball. While pratlng
of records, why does not at least one of Eliza
Rogers personally trained speakers point to
