President Hoover's speech at
Indianapolis is being appraised in
Washington as not only defining
the issues which the Republican,
party will put forward in the Pres
idential campaign in 1882, but as
outlining the course he will pur-
sue for the rest of his administra-
tion.
Particularly interesting to
Washington observers is the II
depreciation placed on that por1
ton of the Presidents remarks
which dealt with the economic
self-sufficiency of the United
States. A widespread opinion here
is that he was laying down a doc
trine of America for Americans,
to put it in bald way. The be-
lief is held that he intended to con-
vey the idea that with a constant
increase in population, the coun-
try could be virtually independent
of the rest of the world in the
sense that it's people would a5-
sorb most of its industrial and ag-
ricultural output.
This is regarded as fitting in
with the Presidents insistence
that high wages and an increased
standard of living are the mater
ials composing the cornerstone of
a prosperous economic structure.
Washington banks have the lar
gest cash,reserves in their history

struction permits issued in the
first five months of 1881 exceed

department store trade and other
business has more than held it's
own SO far in 1881, the president
of the District Bankers Associa-
ton, told more than 200 delegates
at the opening of the Associations
thirteenth annual convention.

When the capital of Norway was

Six hundred years later it was de-
stroyed, and new one founded by
King Christian was called Chris

gian parliament merely restored
the ancient name.

Schools or Breadlines

AS a remedy for unemployment, the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor proposes shorter working week
and shorter working day.
The Clifford committee proposes to take children
out of factories and put them into schoos-reeasng
jobs for adults.
Both are sensible plans. They deserve public CO.
operation.
A survey of the state school laws shows there is
plenty of room for improvement Only four states
Idaho, Nevada, Ohio and Oklahoma-ix the compul-
sorry school age at 10 years There are thirty two
states with 16year limit and seven states stop at
II years
An additional 3326OOO children would be taken out
of jobs and put into schools all the states adopted
and enforced the 18-year rule Many millions more
could be absorbed by junior colleges Only 81 per
cent of those eligible now are able to attend colleges
up to the age of 81,
OF course, there's more to the reform than merely
passing law Tt does no good to compel youth to
attend school he or his parents can not support him
there.
just economic system would provide steady jobs
for adults with incomes adequate to educate their
children Lacking that, the alternative is to make
education nearly free possible and to cover the
students personal expenses by scholarships and loans
For thirty years the General Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs has been providing such scholarships and
loans. Now the federations president Mrs. John P.
Sippe announces that 80 per cent of the 100000
loaned to some 1000 students has been paid back by
the students
There hardly could be a finer demonstration of
the desire of penniless students for education and
their willingness to pay the price.
In face of such will to learn surely America should
offer youths education in place of jobs breadnes.

Three-Cent Stamps

Postmaster General Walter Brown has begun his
annual fall drive for increased postal rates AS usual
Brown proposes that this increase shall take place
in rstclass rates though rst-class mail is the only
branch of the postal service that pays its own way,
and more
But hrst-class mail is also the one class of mail
which meets no competition from private services.
On letter mail the government has monopoly The
express companies fight for share of all the other
business handled 1t is not proposed to raise the
rates on second third and fourth class mail already
carried at a loss But letter mail, which produces
60 per cent of the postofice departments annual
revenues, is asked to carry the burden because for
most of those who pay letter postage there is no
escape
Congress probably will turn a cold and forbidding
shoulder to Browns plan this winter, it did last
year and as it should continue to do.
Also congress probably will fail to cut the postal
deficit where it might by restricting franked mail
and aviation and ship subsidies These deficits are
bound up too closely with politics.
But frst-class mail rates are closely bound up
with the vital life and we'll being of the nation The
burdens of developing commercial aviation in this
country of building merchant marine, of re-elect-
ing office holders, of transporting merchandise for
business should not be transferred from taxpayers
to those who buy the 2-cent stamp

Growing Pains Are Danger Signals
DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

its fever, an examination of the
chest by the usual listening and
percussing or humping methods,
the use of the electrocardiograph.
1t is not possible in this form of
heart disease to depend on the
presence of a murmur as a certain
diagnostic sign, because it now has
been shown that murmurs may
occur in hearts for all sorts of
reasons.
A murmur which comes and goes
and which is not definitely present
frequently, is confusing and not in
dicative of some definite disease.
The X-ray shows whether or not
there is any beginning enlargement
of the heart or any change in it's
position. The electrocardiograph is
not a certain means of diagnosis,
although it frequently is helpful in
showing some disturbance of the
action of the heart.
Of great significance, particularly
so far as the parents can be helpful,
is the detection of what are called
growing pans.
Growing pans include those vague
and geenral diScomfortS that occur
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1931-10-09

chiefly in the legs and in the arms
and sometimes in the joints. They
affect also the muscles of the body.
Growing pains are an indication
of the necessity for a very careful
examination of the child for the
presence of rheumatic conditions.
Quite frequently these pains are
found in children who are not rheu-
matte in any way, but their presence
is warning signal which should
not be neglected.
Of special Importance are pains
in the abdomen which can not be
definitely associated with any dis
turbance of digestion.
In such case, an exceedingly
careful study of the heart should
be made in order to find out
whether there is any beginning dis
turbance.
This is of the greatest Importance
because today the primary hope of
arresting the progress of this serious
disorder is early and complete rest
in bed with the constant attention
of a physician who will attempt to
control the symptoms as they de-
VelOp.

Stars Loss, Our Gain

ENERAL SHUTS points out.
- however, that there is the pos
Slnlllty of connection between the
two. And it is an inspiring thought
to think that the stars spend their
energy that man may go up the
scale of evolution.
The energy which is being dis
slpated by the decay of physical
structure is being partly taken I'D
and organized into life structures
at any rate on this planet, he says.
Life and mind thus appear as
products of the coSmic decline, and
arise like the phoenix from the
ashes of a universe radiating itself
away
In them nature seems to have
discovered a secret which enables
her to irradiate with imperishable
glory the decay to which she seems
physically doomed"
General SHUTS points out another
interesting connection between phv-
sizes and biology. According to the
quantum theory, energy is believed
to consist of distinct particles, bull
let's, as it we're, known as uuanta.
A quantum always acts as a unit or
not at ALL
When we ask what is the nature
of life, we are curiously reminded
of the behavior of the quantum."

II do not for a moment wish to
say that the quantum is the physi-
cal basis of life, but 1 do say that in
the quantum the physical world
offers an analogy to life which is
at least suggestive The quantum
fellows the all-or nothing law and
behaves as an indivisible whole; so
does life.
"a part of a quantum is not
something less than a quantum; it
is nothing or sheer nonentity: the
same holds true of life"

One way we can help the citizens

every day with people from small

take their money and pay it in

pay for their own uniforms. The

they pay more than $40 a week for

younger brothers and sisters and a
mother and father besides.

drawal not easy or simple. There had to be, in
justice to the Haans themselves, brief TRANSITIONAL

allowed to take control gradually
BY sending down the Forbes commission, the Presi-
dent was able to get able factual report on con-
ditions and methods Of returning the governmental
powers to the Haitians That quoted native unrest

On Oct. l, the United States restored to the Port
au-Prnce cabinet the control of three additional de-
partments Of governments including agriculture pub

ahead of schedule and was celebrated by the Haitians
as a national holiday of rejoicing.

its current issue Uncertainty about congress has
greater deterrent to business recovery than
anxiety the European situation. business men
are reporting to Washington"
Remember how we heard last November that the
then impending session of congress would hurt bust
ness?
And, again last March, business was reported to
have been relieved greatly when congress quit and
President Hoover refused to call special session.
Did that congress hurt business? 1t did not
Did business improve when congress recessed? The
answer is too obvious.
Will the next session of congress deter" business?
Of course not

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

a LII women have to do" writes gentleman in
the evening paper, lis to be feminine and you
can have the world by its tail We men will slave
for YOU love you and die for you whether you are
pretty ugly, witty or dumb, so long as we can
have you for own"
Uh-huh. There's been lot of talk about this be-
fore, but good deal of it exaggerated highly.
Just what does the gentleman mean by being fem
mime" do you suppose? can guess.
He means that ours should be the humble role
that should be submissive to masculine Wills that
we should abide all day in retirement and emerge
to full consciousness only when we hear his latch key
at the door. In simpler terms, we should have the
qualities of a good automobile: Never go unless he
steps the starter and remain parked wherever left
That's grand little schedule for the men They
worked it on us for a long. long time We were
sweet and feminine and sat nicely upon our pedestals
And they loved and shaved and died for us to hear
them tell it,
NXTHAT actually happened was that they had a
w pretty fine time bosSing things at home and
were unmoested in any outside activities They
had full charge of the property and the purse-sringS
and decided policies regarding the children.
They could divorce us. but couldn't divorce
them. They could miSbehave in Sundry ways but
we had to be good suffer social obhteration.
They strained their vocal cords talking about pure
womanhood and we strained our backs waiting on
them.
The gentleman has his facts little mixed In the
good OLD days when the Sweetly feminine was all the
rage the women did most of the loving and shaving
and large part of the dying by having more chill
oren than their strength could stand.
Indeed, We never got them started at any of these
things until we began to go little haywira It's my
opinion that We would better stay that way.
