Business STAYS Blind

.TONCED1NG that there has been
~ overproduction in certain
lines, does it follow that there has
been overproduction in all lines?
Certainly not. And even If this
were true, the last twelve months
would have gone far to square &C
counts.
BY and large, business is display
ing the same inability to recognize
depleted market now that it dis
played regarding an overStocked
market one year ago. The blind
spot Of business comes, and always
has come, from stupid belief in
the pernanency Of any situation
that may arise. When times are
good, you will find business revel-
ing in sublime faith that nothing
can prevent them from remaining
good forever. When they turn sour,
you will find 1t just as thoroughly
sold on the enduring qualities of
the bear complex.

Costly Senate Seats

win the United States senate decide that the
previous maximum Of $4,000 for campaign expendi-
lures can be exceeded?
In the light of other and earlier actions, can tne
senate consistently seat Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCor-
mick Labor Secretary Davis and others df electec>
who have spent more than the $1sS,Ooo maximum
that unofHcially was set up through the Newberry
case?
When the Nye committee makes its report on its
dozen or more investigations of senatorial campaign
expenditures these will be among the foremost ques-
tons Of the senate must answer.
The Nye committee has brought the nations at
tention to the fact that becoming senator OF
senator-nornnee in some states at least, requires
expenditures Of almost as much money as does the
purchase Of a seat on the New York Stock Exchange
The committee, through It's inquiries, has posed
the question again:
"Are we going to put our political jobs on the block
to be knocked down to the highest bdder2"
Nye conducted his inquiries in a workman-like
manner and chief results to date have been revela-
tons that Mrs Mccormick won the Republican noni-
nation in her state after expenditure of more than
s3OoOoo that the Davis expenditure also will total
approximately 100000; that Joe Grundy the high
tariff textile manufacturer, spent $4,000 and
failed to regain the seat to which he was appointed;
ard that strong and rich influences, emanatng either
from conservative Republican or power trust sources
or BOTH were exerted to defeat Norris Of Nebraska
These expenditures compare with $4,000 used in
the Michigan campaign of Newberry, given the for
NAL condemnation of the senate; more than 100000
for Smith Of Illinois and than 100000 for Ware
of Pennsylvania both Of whom were refused seats.
Again. these compare with the expenditure this
year Of $1,000 by Senator Sheppard to win the Demo-
cratic nomination in Texas $500 by Senator Couzens
to become Republican nominee in Michigan, and
S2620 by Senator Norris
Senator Borahsonce said
The improper use Of money in politics represents
problem as broad and deep and vital representative
democracy itself and the people know it. Partisan
fencing will not satisfy them Purity Of the ballot
box and integrity of Ofhcisls the beginning and
the end of popular government" ..,.
There will be much discussion of this subject when
the December session meets, and properly so.

silly affectation, although it may
have represented reasonable intu-

Haywood Broun is not right for

The color of those sounds is to

forms, and in spite of my best ef-
forts I have never been able to write

SCIENCE
Experts Are Studying Prob~'
lens of Adolescence at
Cleveland Meeting.
BY DAVID DIETZ.


EXPERTS from all parts Of the
u country on anatomy, physiolo-
gy and psychology are gathered in
Cleveland today to discuss that
important but little understood
period of human life, adolescence.
They are discussing the physical
and mental changes which take
place during the second decade"
the period of life from the age Of
10 to 20.
The conference was called Ey
Western Reserve university and the
Brush Foundation. The foundation
was organized by the late Charles
F.. Brush, famous scientist and in
ventor, shortly before his death, to
study the problems Of race better
ment.
Brush, who lived his life in
Cleveland, is known best as the in
ventor of the arc lamp.
1t is interesting to note that just
as the call for the conference went
out workmen were completing the
task of demohshing the old Brush
residence in Cleveland.
Brush's home stood downtown on
old Euclid avenue. A few decades
ago that part of the avenue was
known as ''Nillionaires' row." But
gradually business encroached upon
the avenue and the old homes were
torn down to make room for busi-
ness blocks, while the former own
erS moved into the suburbs.
Houses which remained were
turned into studio apartments and
rooming houses.

question, is youth the age most

The editor goes on to say, "The

And the postscript reads, Copy

TT SEEMS TO ME BY HB BECGS

All that I have been able to do is to
train down little to meet the re-
quirements of my label.
AS far as the physical facts of
the matter go, I have had some Sue
cess. On any scales the bulk is
truly and obviously reduced. But
somehow that isn't enough.
Those who know me have fixed
me in their minds as fat, and fat
I will remain to them, even if the
present reduction process goes on
into dangerous anaemia.
1t is even worse than that, I think
of myself as fat, and years of men
tai reduction will be required before
I can bring myself to accept the fact
that actually am thin. Well, pretty
thin.

Legion of Honor

DRUSH was born in Euclid, O.,
- on March II, 1S49. He was
educated at the University Of Mich
igan, beginning his career as a
chemical expert in the city Of cleve-
land.
Later. he turned to the subject of
electricity, inventing the arc
lamp in 1878.
In 1900 he organized the Brush
Electric Company. This was one
of four companies which were sub
sequently merged to form the Gen
eral Electric Company, the largest
electrical company in the world to-
day.
Another Of Brusla's inventions was
the storage battery. One Of his IA
vorite stories concerned that inven-
ton.
II lost $5O,OOo,OOO by inventins
the storage battery too Soon,'' he
would say. Most Of my funda-
mental patents expired before the
world had advanced far enough to
provide a large-scale market for the
batteries"
Brush was an enthusiastic mem
Der of the American Philosophical
Society, Americas Oldest scientific
society, society founded by Ben
jamin Franklin.
Until the end of his life he
would go to Philadelphia each year
for the annual gathering Of the So
ciety.
France made Brush chevaliar Of
the Legion of Honor in 1881. In
1899 he was awarded the Rumford
medal of the American Academy Of
Arts and Science, and in 1918 he
was awarded the Edison medal Of
the American Institute of Electri-
cal Engineers.
Brush died in Cleveland on Juns
Is, 1929.

Brush Lives On
DRUsH, however, continued to

DRUSH, however, continued to
- live in his fine old house. He
would be seen Striding down Euclid
avenue occasionally, tall man with
wide shoulders.
Age had turned his hair and mus
tache white, but it had failed 10
stoop those shoulders.
When he died he left instructions
that his house was to be torn down.
He realized that the growth of the
big city-a growth which he had
helped to usher in with his inven-
ton of the arc lamp and his inn
provements of electric dynamos and
distribution systems-could not be
stopped.
But he was unwilling for his house
to fall gradually into decay. He
preferred that it go all at once.
So Brush is gone today. And his
house is gone, too.
But Brush lives on in his inven-
tions and in the foundations which
he formed to study human prob
lens and to contribute to human
advancement.
Brush was a link between the past
and the present. Born into the era
before men had put electricity to
work for their uses, he helped to
usher in the electrical era by his
inventions.
He was one of the little group
of pioneering geniuses, Of which,
Thomas A. Edison is another. who
helped found the electrical era.
BY his endowment Of the Brush
Foundation, he has become linz
between the present and the future
For the Brush Foundation, realiSs
ing that science has the problems
of physical engineering fairly wei
in hand, looks to the solution OF the
far more diflcult problems of hui
man engineering.

We're in a Panic

THERE is no blinking the fact
l. that we, are in bad jam, but
the jam Is not due to machinery, or
any other inherent aspect of pres
ent-day life. It's due to the age-oId
weakness Of OVERRIDING good thing,
of closing our eyes to the inevitable
cycle that follows a boom.
But If depression follows seasons
OF careless extravaganza, better
times follow depresSions, and those
quickest to see the change get most
out of it.
Undoubtedly the present situation
reveals the desirability of making
some more or less permanent alter
ations In our scheme of things, but
We are hardly in a mood right
now to discuss them intelligently.
We are too worried, too alarmed,
and toe emotional. Besides, the
necessity Of restoring something like
normal conditions is too pressing.
We can not hope to get far in re-
storing normal conditions as long as
we think in abnormal terms, as long
as we interpret this breakdown in
the light Of coSn1ic cataclysm.

The Name, PIease?I

I'VE been wondering why it is so
i extremely difficult for play
wrights and novelists to think up
reasonable and suitable names for
their characters.
The playwright or novelist may
endow one of his people with a
wholly conventional and realistic
name, and yet it viii be all wrong.
1t won't fit the person.
Here, perhaps, the fiction writer
or dramatist Is asked to shoulder a
responsibility which life neglects.
Many of the people whom we know
are named quite incorrectly.
I am not referring now to the
science Of numerology or anything

Get Back on the Job

IF we can't resume legitimate bust
L. ness along much the same lines
that 1t was being carried on before
the crash, there is something fun
damentally wrong with our civiliza-
ton.
If we can, those in charge of the
performance ought to be getting
busy. That does not mean that the
cities, states or federal government
should abandon one single item of
the various programs they have I'M
dertaken to provide work, because
there will be more than enough mis-
cry after they have done everything
they can, but It does mean that the
business interests of this country
should give more attention to the
idea of getting back on the job.

PrOdigaI Citizens

Latest figures from the census bureau again will
focus attention on the mounting cost Of state and
local governments.
population increased 81 per cent during the fiscal
year 1928, and now approaches six billions. The per
capita net debt in 146 Of these cities had grown from
SCOTS in 1917 TO $i3963 last year Nearly third Of
the municipal public improvements were financed by
bond issues.
The per capita expenditures OF the $50 cities were
$544S in 1896 up $243 from the year before. In 1908
the per capita cost was only $l641 and in 1917 but
$245S
Including cities and town of less than 10000, the
net per capita expenditures is estimated at about $685.
$50 Is added for state and federal expenditures the
cost to each individual is sos, which means about
$40 yearly for each family.
It Is natural that municipal expenditures should
increase. Cities are larger. They have undertaken
new services to citizens and have had elaborate i'm
provement programs during years Of prosperity. Dol
lars do not go as far they formerly did. In some
of the cities there has been extravaganza and waste
and corruption.
These facts, however, do not make the problem
any less acute.
The cities have been spending beyond their means
and tax rates have become genuinely burdensome In
~terest must be paid huge bond issues, and this
item absorbS continually larger amount Of current
revenues; and finally, of course, the bonds must be
paid
This process Of increasing budgets year after
year can not go on indefinitely.
