The Farm Relief MIDDLE

Daily it becomes increasingly clear that. farm
relief under the agricultural marketing act thus far
has been a dismal failure. Farmers now are in worse
plight than they were thirteen months ago. when
President Hoover signed the bill, and loud is their
outcry.
Wheat at country elevators is bringing farmers
7O-odd cents a bushel. the lowest price in seventeen
years This contrasts with a Chicago price of around
sl20 when the farm board began to function. Cot
ton and all other major crops are down.
The crop report Just issued by the department
Of agriculture shows that this years harvests again
will yield large SURPRISES, and there are heavy carry
overs from last year. Acreage has not been restricted,
although the farm board has said curtailed output
is the only way in which prices can be raised.
True, the farm board began its operations too late
greatly to influence this seasons crops. but there is
little evidence that the bulk of the farmers regard
the program of less acreage with favor.
Chairman Legge Of the farm board, visiting
wheat-producing areas, encountered determined OPP
position. Governor Clyde NJ. Reed of Kansas in par
ticular objected to restriction of a crop which is the
states main reliance, and for which there is no sub
stitute. He voiced the views of the farmers in the
principal grain-producing state.
Sterilization corporations set up for wheat and
cotton and supplied with government funds have
been ineffective. Numerous co-operatives granted
loans have accomplished little. Congress supplied
the board with s25O.OOO.OOO. of which sl4o,OOOoOO has
been loaned in one way or another.
Farm board funds bought 6O.OO0.O 600 bushels of
wheat last year. which is being carried at a cost OF
100000 a month Of taxpayers money. And most
Of this wheat was purchased at around Sis cents
a buShel.
Adding to the farmers trouble is the new tariff,
~elevating the cost Of the things he buys and in
effective on the things he sells. The farm board
khas been assaIed by business. particularly grain
salers and spectators. for interfering with private

no we maintain courts merely
~ to convict human beings? Is
it not their duty to safeguard the
rights of the individual as well as
those of the state?
Of all human institutions, is our
system of justice above acknowledge
ing its fallibllity, or of doing what
it can to ~ectify its blunder when
one has been made?
The most appalling feature Of the
Mooney-Biliings case is not the
fact that they were convicted on
perjured testimony, but the indif-
ference of public officials after this
had been revealed to the satisfac-
ton of nine Of every ten people.
If Governors, judges and prose-
cutting attorneys want the law to be
respected, they must be as willing
to recognize their own shortcomings
as they are to expose those of
other folks.

IT SEEMS TO ME By HR REo22S

TT turns out that there r 7,000,-
l. 900 of us. Tow that the growth
of Greater New York has been vim
dictated, editorial writers are in
clined to remark, What of it?" and
to pretend that unlike the boosters
in other American cities, size is not
important as far as we T con-
cerned.
Still, before me returns came in
from the missing districts there was
grave concern. The population Of
Manhattan Island has been shrink
ing steadily and there r inhabi-
tants in this boro who feel that folk
in Brooklyn and The Bronx are real
ly hinterlanders and not authentic
citizens of New York at all.
But now that they have saved
our face in the matter of population
total, We are clad to include them in
the fold.
But it is a curious thing that city
jewellers should welcome huge in
crease. What does it mean? Two
people standing on your feet in the
subway where only n grew be-
fore, higher rents, higher prices,
more honking of horns, a greater
litter on the beaches and park
lawns.
Never have I been able to under
stand the CHASTITY fear which fills
some people at the mention of the
phrase, race suicide" I am not
denying the right of any group ta
be fruitful and multiply. Generally
speaking, I am glad when friends of
mine announce the birth of a son
or daughter.
Yet it fills me with no enthusi-
asm at all to learn that hundreds
of thousands of families have also
had their share Of blessed events.

that I would not mourn much if

Kills for MerCY

A 77-year-old father Of Walton.
"A N. Y, kills his demented
daughter for fear that she might
fall into less kindly hands after he
was gone.
Not only neighbors, but even the
authorities, accept his explanation
that it was a mercy killing"
Amenities of the judicial system
must be observed, however, so the
old man will be held without bail
on a charge of first degree murder.
In the face of almost certain
acquittal, it is planned to commit
him to an asylum for the insane.
Thus we defy common sense for
the sake of paying tribute to anti
quated conceptions of justice.

l. ming pool is a step in the right
direction. Cities which are building
these pools where their residents
may enjoy the sun while swimming
in water whose bacterial content is
kept within safe limits are doing a
real service to build up the health
Of the nation.
Sun-tan bathing suits mark a
step in the right direction. So do
the sun-tan dresses which the wom-
en- are wearing.
Perhaps some style expert can
collaborate with a great psychologist
and evolve styles for mere man
which will be as sensible and health
full.
Perhaps then, the two can call
in some great propaganda, like the
expert gentleman who advised
Czecho- Slovakia to declare its indie
pendence on a Sunday because the
American newspapers were short OF
news on Monday morning. And
then, perhaps, the three can get
mere man to change his ways.
Perhaps they can persuade him
not to wear a vest in the summer
time. That would be q beginning.
Within a decade, he even might dis
card his coat and walk about with
his sleeves rolled up SO that the
sun could shine on his arms.
They might even, after a decade
or two, persuade him, when he went
to play golf, to wear golf stockings
which were a bit lighter than the
sort affected by Swiss ski-jumperS.
One need not dismay. Humanity
has recovered from worse habits. In
the middle ages, every newborn
babe was wrapped up in strips of
cloth known as swaddling clothes.
These prohibited any natural move
ments on the part of the poor babe,
and, according to DR.. Howard w.
Haggard of Harvard medical school,
about so per cent of the infants
died.

I think that the main reason Of
Mr.. Hoover's generosity was to take
care of his veterans for future wars,
as they will all try to get in the
service (maybe).
There is one thing MI. Hoover has
accomplished through his great
charitable act. That is, that he can
depend that If he runs again for
President in 1882, he will get very
few of the nearly 100000 veterans
votes.
The wisest thing Mr.. Hoover could
do in the next election would be to
say, II do not choose to run"
MI. Hoover went over big last
election, but he will look like a
smal-timer n the next, for we have
too many starving Belgians in the
United States.

Excess Weight After Mid-Life Is Peril

ANNIVERSARY
BASTILE DAY
July IA

ON July IA, 1889, the populace OF
" Paris stormed the Bastille, a
prison which the revolutionists long
regarded as a symbol Of oppression.
The fall of this ancient fortress is
celebrated in France IS the chief
national holiday and as the day
when a new era of liberty dawned
for the people and an end was put
to the old regime.
In the uprising a force of about
$4,000 attacked the Bastille, killed
its governor and seven of his men
and scattered the archives of the
prison.
The prisoners, seven in number,
were carried through the streets
and hailed as victims of tyranny
and martyrs in the peoples cause.
1t is interesting to note that La
fayette sent the key to the Bastille
to George Washington because the
principles of America it was that
opened the Bastille." This relic still
may be seen at Mt. Vernon.
The site Of the building now is
marked by a column of bronze
dedicated to the memory Of the
patriots Of July, 1888, and 1880.

Ricketts,

7 PROFESSIONALLY we do not
~ as yet know the complete story
of the part played by sunlight in
health.
Of course, by now, every one
knows the story of ricketts,. 1t has
been proved beyond question that
small children who do not get
enough sunlight are likely to de-
velop ricketts,, a disease in which
the bones do not grow normally.
This means that infants need SUM-
light quite as much as adults. Par
ents will realize, however, the ne
cessity of accustoming small chill
dren gradually to the sun to pre-
vent Sunburn.
Parents also will realize that a
small child should not be permitted
to sleep with the sun shining into
its eyes.
The portion of sunlight which
prevents ricketts, is the ultraviolet
radiation. The ultraviolet has a
hard time getting through smoky
atmoSphereS and so the cities which
have the greatest amount of smoke
and dust in their atmospheres are
the ones where ricketts, is most
common.
The vitamins of cod-liver oil have
the same effect as the ultraviolet
of the sun, in so far as the pre-
vention of ricketts, is concerned
That is why medical men advice
cod-liver oil for small children.
It is doubtful whether it is posi-
BILE for any child to get enough sun
light in a big city in the winter
time.
Scientists have known for a long
time that it was the energy of sun
light which enabled plants to grow.
but it is only within recent years
that they have begun to under
stand the complex relationships be-
tween the sun and growing things

Ten Murders a Year

England may be the mother country, but there
are times when it appears that mother and daughter
have very little in common.
London, for instance, just has reported a drop in
its murder rate. During 1929, in all the London police
districts, there were only ten murders committed. Yet
the British aren't satisfied FOR four of the murderers
thus far have escaped justice. This is rather shocking,
and Britain is writing to The Times about it, in staid
indignation.
Ten murders in a whole year! New York, Chicago,
or Detroit would look on a record like that as being a
near approach to the millennium. And any time the
police of any American city can catch go per cent of
their murderers they will be more than satisfied. The
present ratio is a mere fraction of that.

average people would not condemn a

against them.
But what's a little thing like that,
when the court has finished and the

It's a part of the system to admit

AS a matter of common sense,
California authorities should have
acted on the first evidence of in

Association and of Hygeia, the
Health Magazine.

NNE of the most interesting ques-
" tons relative to overweight is
whether the person accustomed to
carrying extra weight becomes more
easily fatigued than the normal
person, and furthermore what effect
fatigue has on the already lowered
mechanical efficiency of the obese.
1t is the general impression that
thin people and fat people become
more fatigued than those of normal
weight. 1t would seem likely that
extra weight would tend to prevent
easy fatigability but the observa-
ton is not certain, and as a result,
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1930-07-14

was lowest for the fat and highest
for the normal group.
The records Of many insurance
companies and of practically every
one who has studied the question Of
endurance, resistance and fatigue
indicate that overweight after mid
die life is a menace to health.
The added weight constitutes an
extra burden on the tissues at a
time when the tissues are not in
position to respond.
In these modern times when
proper studies of diet have shown
the way to reduce efficiently and
comfortably to a normal figure,
there is no reason why any one
should carry excess tissue which
constitutes a menace to health.

The High Hats

ITO be sure, every New York
4 newspaper writer profits in
prestige and possibly in stipend from
the fact that his home town hap
pens to be Americas metropolis.
The lads from even self Insufficient
Chicago give ground a little when
the big town representatives arrive.
Something of magnif1cence still ex-
lists in the phrase, "a New York
newspaper man."
But, though I would be almost the
last to argue against the leadership
of this city, I hate to think that
its reputation should rest upon mere
weight of numbers.
Indeed, 1 would welcome a day
of dwindling. New York still would
be New York if only half this size.
Though Chicago topped us a mil
lion or more, the perfect Manhat-
tanite might then even put visitors
from the Windy City in their place
by elevating one eyebrow and MUIR
murirg, "a middle-westerner, I be-
lieve."
For instance, the fact that New
York sets the pace in theatrical
productions for the rest of the coun-
try is not wholly dependent upon
the circumstances that we are big.
Discriminating theater-goers rep
resent only a tiny fraction of the
population. Indeed, a good many
of them are not New Workers at all,
but visitors from distant places who
have sought communion with the
modern Athens.
1t is the depth of New York life
and not its width and length which
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1930-07-14

should be our boast. Some of the
largest of American cities are among
those most dead and deadly in their
inner spirit.
Boston, for instance, f1ourished
more brilliantly in years when it
was less populous. There once was
literature and music and a little
b~ootlegged sculptor.
Yet today a bigger Boston is
known as a grubby town where any
thing of imagination dies at birth
and only the most heavy-handed
musical comedies have a chance of
survival.
