Central MAY NOT

Popular Grid Game leopard
lied by Inability to Agree
on Date.

@ENTRAL and Gonzaga, whose
battles on the foot ball field
always arouse much interest
may not clash next Fall. At
least they haven't yet agreed on date.
1t is known that Central wishes, If
possible, to play the Purple early in the
season rather than late In the cam
paign, as was the case this year. 1t is
felt by authorities of the Columbia
Heights school that the game would
draw better If played before the public
high school championship series is over,
particularly If Centr1l Is an also ran
in the nag hunt.
Neither Central nor Gonzaga spokes-
men are willing to say that the schools
will not meet next season, but right now
it appears likely that the contest will
not naterialize.
THE Blue and the Purple played their
i first game in 1880 after failing to
meet since 1925. In 1890 Central
won, IL to 0, but during the campaign
just closed the Streeters triumphed,

track and foot ball mainstay, earned his

The Reer Mirage

The Washington rumor factory is busy again
turning out the old story that President Hoover
shortly is to declare for modification Of the Vostead
law to permit per cent beer. That is possible, but
it is improbable.
There has been deliberate conspiracy by both
parties to prevent a national referendum, either
through presidential election otherwise. The
professional dry organizations, though a minority,
have succeeded by intimidation and trading in pre-
venting national wet plank in either party.
There is no evidence yet that this vicious stua-
ton has been changed either by Hoover the Repub-
lcan leader, by the Democrats. Efforts of the
Raskob-Shouse group to commit the Democratic party
to a wet plank are making Roadway.
on the contrary, the Democratic drys of the
south and west supporting the candidacy of the
wet Roosevelt in the belief that he will help them
block wet plank.
We hope the legalized beer story is true Not that
we think it would be satisfactory or stop the drive
for complete prohibition repeal; not that it would
materially change the amount of liquor now con-
sumed or that it would reduce much of the boot
logging and crime
LOCALIZED beer however, would put the coun-
try in position slightly less hypocrtical than new,
and it would provide tax needed to help
wipe out the dangerously large federal deficit.
Politicians of both parties have tricked the public
so long that we will not expect modification until
it is accomplished fact Our guess is that by the
time the politicians are ready to modify the popu-
lar revolt will be strong enough politically to force
repeal.

Not the Whole Answer

Those who trust to charity to for the victims
of economic catastrophes are proudly proclairning
that much Of the distress will be avoided through
canned fruits provided by community efforts.
Were the distress caused by shortage Of foods,
the food canning enterprises would take on more
serious and useful aspect.
But the farmer is being told that he is unhappy
because he has raised too much and that there are
too few who can purchase his products.
In times Of general employment the farmer would
be selling not giving his fruits. There would be men
and women at work in canneries, drawing wages to
be spent in stores for the products of farms and of
other factories. The whole circle of business would
be stimulated by the process.
Now the canning is being done by volunteers who
looking ahead to next winter and the time when
families of the voorhees, will not be able to patronze
the corner grocer for his canned products.
The food is being largely donated by the farm
ers who are unable to sell it to the canneries
The save the surplus" campaigns which are be-
ing operated in many cities particularly in Kokomo
and South Bend have their fine points but as cures
for economic diseases they leave much to be desired
They are fine in that they bring together COM
munities in a spirit of cooperation and of sympa
thetic interest in their neighbors.
They are fine because they aimed at waste by
saving products that would probably otherwise be of
no use to any one
They fine because they may cause few citizens
to wonder whether there may not be basic remedies
instead Of temporary relief
1t time, it may be discovered that it is unproft-
able to deny men the right to work
The general protest against "doe" is a protest
against words than a reality.
Any form of charity for large groups is a modi-
fed form of dole giving, whether it comes from a
fada tOWn a
munity fund 1t is all an attempt the part of
society to provide for those whom economic condi-
tons prevent them from caring for themselves.
The fine way, the American way, is to SO adjust
economic cogs that every man can and must earn
his living.
The right to work is fundamental. 1t can not be
replaced by canning parties. The spirit of these
enterprise is praseworhy, but they do not furnish
the entire answer.

japan. China and u. S.

Japan by making war China, has violated the
kellogg pact What do the United States govern
ment and other treaty sgnatories propose to do
about it?
Two years ago. the United States, as parent of the
Kellogg pact, sharply demanded an explanation from
Russia for it's alleged violation in Manchuria. Rus
sian troops then were not Manchurian soil, and
the Chinese and Russian officials already had agreed.
Nevertheless, State Secretary Stimson challenged
them in the name of the pact.
Now Japan is guilty of of the grossest agrees
sve wars of conquest in modern history The Chinese
instead of protecting their home land laid down
their arms.
The Chinese knew they were protected against
Just such aggression by the nine power pacific treaty
to which the United States pledged its honor. The
Chinese knew they were protected against just such
aggression by the Kellogg pact, to which the United
States pledged its honor.
But is China protected by these treaties? Does
the treaty pledge of the United States mean any
thing? Is 1t worth anything?
If the United States government wishes to save
its honor and its Kellogg treaty, it will act 1t will
demand jointly with the other treaty powers-or
alone if necessary-that Japan withdraw and make
restitution.
If Japan refuses, it will enforce economic and
financial boycott against Japan a self-convicted
treaty outlaw and war maker.

Attacks Nerves

TNFANTILE paralysis does not at
Il tack the muscles themselves, but
the nervous system which controls
them.
1.-THE virus acts upon the nervous
system and especially upon the
nerve cells of the spinal cord which
control muscular movements" DR..
Flexner says.
"Since the virus Injuries the nerve
cells and adjacent tissues with
varying degrees of intensity, the
effects on the muscles range from
very Slight to severe paralysis.
Gwen when the paralysis is Sc
we're, restoration of motion takes
place in part or even wholly as the
injurious consequences Of the dis
ease subside.
although the name - infantile
paralysis-carries the implication Of
actual loss of motion by muscles,
yet many cases of the disease never
show paralysis at all.
Indeed, there are reasons for be-
lieving that the cases of the nom
paralytic disease exceed greatly in
number those in which actual
paralysis occurs.
"Infantile paralysis is mainly, but
not wholly, a disease Of childhood.
Adults are affected, but infre-
quently.
Nov that we have learned that
young children have rarely and
older children and adults have often
become immunized through un-
perceived or subclinical effects Of
exposure, we can better understand
the peculiarities of age and place
susceptibilities."

David Starr Jordan

Being great American did not prevent David
Starr Jordan from being great internationalist
Few leaders in this any other country contributed
more to world peace
He led the pre-war peace movement. He was
reviled and his meetings broken up by mobs when
he tried to keep the United States out of the Worc
war; But like Ramsay Macdonald, the British paci-
fist, he lived to receive even wider acclaim later from
a war-experienced and war-weary world
Now he is dead at 80, in the shadow of his beloved
Stanford university, which he presided so bril-
liantly and so long.
1t is given to few men to achieve international
eminence in so many fields He ranked with the
great, not only peace leader, but an educator
and scientist AS pioneer in higher education he
was twenty years ahead of his time.
But to remember DR.. Jordan just as an intel
ectual leader would miss somewhat of the charm
of life. He was loved by thousands of students and
followers as personal friend With those riches of
the spirit, he lived and died happy man.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

berculouS infection of the glands,
usually secondary to tuberculosis
elsewhere in the body. However.
there are other cases in which
cancer may destroy the tissue,
and still others in which the
glands are not found grossly
affected, yet the function appar-

There seem to be cases in which
the loss of function of the gland re-
suits from interference with its

The bronzing of the skin in this
condition is the most apparent
symptom. 1t may involve not only
the skin but the mucous membranes.
However, the great weakness Of the
person affected is the most serious
symptom.
People who have this disease are
