SnOOping Again

Despite definite administration assurances that
there would be more overlapping other lawless
invasions of American homes by dry agents. Leonard
H Kinnard, president of the Bell Telephone Company
of Pennsylvania, reports the discovery of two more
federal wire-tappers
They were caught in the act of listening in on a
telephone conversation of a reputable business man
in Philadelphta's fashionable apartment district.
Faced with arrest by telephone company detec-
tves, the two dry shoppers begged off with the plea
that they thought they capturing "a big shot"
According to survey by Bradstreets, more than
twothrs of the business leaders of this country be-
lieve that economic recovery would be fastened by
repeal or modification of the dry law.
If the Hoover administration wishes to win over to
repeal the other one-thrd it could go about this in
effective way than by resuming the illegal
enforcement practices it is supposed to have aban-
doned. The reaction of American freemen to such
tyranny is swift and sure

The Five-DaY Week

Each week apparently workers join the
100000 or so enjoying the fve-day week.
In a report to Governor Franklin Roosevelt a
commission on unemployment problems, headed by
Henry Bruere, says that five large New York state
manufacturing concerns have adopted the flve-day
week and report its successful operation.
Others found shorter work day more practicable,
eight have adopted dismissal wage schedules of from
one weeks to two months salary for employees laid off
because of curtailed production. And fourteen con-
Germs are operating under the Rochester unemplov-
ment benefit law.
E R. Squibb & Sons which found the five-dav week
"bascally sound" after months of tryouts reported
that if all firms could their way clear to adopt
the fve-day week it probably would create sufficient
additional employment to represent a worthwhile con-
tributon toward the present unemployment situation
At a close range economic advancement during
the depression seems SLOW and cratic History how
ever may record this troubled era as one of its most
creative.

A New Lindbergh

Colonel Charles Lindbergh essayed a role
when he appeared the radio in appeal for funds
to relieve the distress of unemployment under the
Hoover plan Notably Lindbergh said very little about
giving and great deal in few words about the
necessity of preventing unemployment
I'VE have overproduction of food and manu-
featured products together with unemployment and
lack of purchasing power" said Colonel Lindbergh
I'm short we have the luxuries of life and time to
them without the system which permits necessary dis
tributon."
To those who remembered his father as a leader
of progressive thought in congress- this has familiar
sound.
From the illustrious son, it has emphasis and
gives new view of the national idol He shows as
much courage in craftsmanship as he exhibited when
he became the Lone Eagle.

something that must puzzle children who USUALLY

THE national anthems of all countries are bat

Held Many HonorS

A BOUT eight years ago, DR..
IA Stratton left the bureau Of
standards to become president of
Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology. Later his title was changed
to chairman of the board.
His friends say that he hated to
leave the bureau but that SO many
requests and demands for his
services came from all parts of New
England that he felt it his duty to
go.
DR.. Stratton was the recipient of
many honorary degrees. He was
honored by Harvard, Yale, Pitts
burgh, Cambridge England and
other universities.
He received many medals, includ-
ing the Elliott Cresson medal Of the
Franklin Institute. He was mem
Der of the National Academy of
Science and many other in
situations.
His personality endeared him to
all who knew him. At the bureau
Of standards he particularly was
solicitous about the members of the
staff and encouraged them in every
way in their work.
Each year at Christmas time he
provided a Christmas party for the
children of the members of the staff.
There would be a Christmas tree
and presents for the children. In
the spring he would give an out
door party for the children.
He encouraged their educational
work and made it possible for many
who did not possess their doctors
degree to obtain it at the same time
that they worked for the bureau.

HEALTH SERVICE

Preventive medicine likewise is
concerned with prevention of dis
ease in the individual by raising
his individual immunity through
the use of vaccination, the injec-
ton of preventive serums.
Thus person who has suffered a
wound in contact with the soil of a
barn yard should have antitetanus
antitoxin.
The one who is likely to be ex-
posed to the use of drinking water
not thoroughly controlled from the
point of view of sanitation, should
have anti-typhoid vaccination.
Everyone should be vaccinated
against smallpox. Children particu-
larly should receive toxoid or toxin
antitoxin against diphtheria.
There also are available vaccines
and SerumS for various other dis
eases, which are discussed under
these headings.
Another example of preventive
medicine is the giving of small

More Secret Diplomacy

The position of the United States government in
the Manchurian crisis is dangerous to world
peace it is humiliating to American citizens
1t is dangerous because it encourages the Japanese
in the belief that America is giving Japan free hand
to make 1t is humiliatng because the state
department is running out its Kellogg anti
war pact and leaving to the League of Nations the
task of defending the peace treaties.
OF course, the state department has an excuse,
such as it is The state department claims to be do
ing all sorts of things for peace-in secret So far
as we can find out all it is doing is to view with
alarm"
It has sent several secret communications to
Toxic. But apparently in instance has the state
department definitely demanded immediate with
drawal of japanese troopS-either individual
American demand or in cooperation with the league
councils demand
AS result of the state departments failure to
charge Japan with violation of the kellogg pact and
nine-power Pacific treaty and to insist military
evacuation. The japanese government, press and
public are praising the United States government,
while damning the League of Nations
AS trick to draw the Japanese fire from our
selves to the league, that may appear to the state
department very clever diplomacy. But it is neither
an honorable nor courageous course
Nor is that state department method an honest

press and public opinion is openly and fatty OPP

Americans not particularly proud of the fact that
instead of trusting to their own government-they
must look to the League of Nations to defend Amer

The most serious count again the Hoover admin

respect sincere difference of opinion to policy

A Better Answer

When member Cuthbertson Of the public service
commission invited Paul McNutt to debate after Nc
Mutt had announced that when and if he became
Governor he would change the whole commission, he
may have aroused some political curiosity
OF course, Cuthbertson overlooked the better and
more obvious to such threat and it is not
yet too late make it.
He has before him the petitions Of this city for
Just rates for electricity and for water.
he has before him other petitions from other cities
that ask projection against the larcenies and ex-
tortions of utilities.
When the Indianapolis petitions filed, the
Cuthbertson program to ask the utilities to please
lay off trne until people could better afford to be
looted
The perfect answer to McNutt would be to make
showing OF earnestness in the direction of protec-
ton of the public That, in theory the duty of
commissioner
Were he even now to become jealous in discovering
the hidden tricks of the holding companies the
prices paid for coal to subsidiaries of the electric
holding company, the illicit charges by Geist he
would be amply protected against any loss of his job
If he or any other commissioner would make a
stand for the public interest his job would not be in
danger. The people would protect them. No Gov
ernor would dare to fire them.
Just what has this particular commissioner done
would bring army defenders to his rescue if his
job threatened?
is there any candidate for Governor who would
desire to risk his chances on a specific promise to
keep Cuthbertson in the job if elected?
