The Final Step

Whatever financial plan may be worked
out by the holders of street car securities,
the final step must be, of course, public own
ership and control of the transportation sys
tenn.
It may help little to recall TO those who
are now rather desperately trying to salvage
some of their dollars that the source of their
predicament was the private exploitation oil
the public for many years and the investment
in much blue sky.
1t may do less to recall the many years
of political activity of the street car own
ers, always on the side of those who had
little interest in the public welfare. Had all
the dollars spent to put bad men into Office
been used for service there would have been
no use sor receivers and special committees
on salvage.
Public ownership of so necessary a utility
as transportation will furnish an answer to
the problem which private control has failed
to solve.
True, large part of the difficulty comes
from change of habits and customs. The
street car is being abandoned in small towns.
It may be abandoned in large cities. In many
it is already supplemented by bus lines and
subways In others it is disappearing.
In this city there is a grave question of
whether the time has not arrived for pub
IicIy owned system of transportation in
which bus lines will furnish the major part
Of the service.
Those who have dollars invested in the
present bankrupt system should consider
this possibility as well as any scheme to
toss more dollars into the present plant
The public has been generous. 1t might
prove to be a generous customer in order to
solve serious problem.

REASON BY Ff H4SD4S

II ME speedy acquttal of Mrs Nixon Nirdlineer ST
Il Louis beauty queen, by this French jury proves
hat men are about the same the world over
Beauty is the common touch which makes all
Jurors kin.
There's one thing about the French trial which
strikes us as being a decided improvement on our
own system. The judge takes vigorous part in the
examination Of the witnesses and he goes at it ham
mer and tongs.
Our federal judges do this, but our state judges do
not; they merely sit up there as umpres to decide
me points between the legal pugilsts
Our system should be changed and our state
judges should get into the game.
HERE would be very little building this spring
Il II IL were not for the new gas stations
In the course Of ten or fifteen years we NAV have
enough OF them to meet the demand
It's an outrage for man to have to drive half
block for gas.
This king of Siam is game gentleman for he
took only local anesthetic when the cataract was
removed from his eye and he talked with the surgeon
who described the operation en- route.
We know almost exactly how the king felt while
sney were using the peeinS knife him, for while
we've never been separated from any catracts we
have contributed pair of tonsls to the surgical
harvest to the U. S. A.
THEY handed local anesthetic and it made our
l. neck feel like a concrete block feels when the
Thermometer Is 20 below zero.
You DO not feel any pain, but you do have very
unsatisfactory consciousness that you are being sliced
We've always felt that that performance was a
very unfair proposition. 1t total loss financially
Not only did have to be the goat, we had to
pay all the overhead and the bunch of doctors who
came into see the show didn't pay one red cent?
They even hung around after it was over: they
didn't want to go away at all
When they did walk out they kept on looking back.
They seemed to feel sore because-we didn't serve
refreshments.

Views of Times Readers

Editor Times-I would be thank
full if you would inpart to the gen.
eral public through the columns Of
your newspaper, the law that should
be in effect in Indiana covering the
operation of "one man. propelled
interurban cars, and other common
carriers operating for revenue on
the same basis.
Recently, was a paid passenger
on a certain interurban line III
Indiana, and was much surprised
to see the interurban start on a
trip with one man handling the
entire affairs of conductor, motor
man and f1agnlan.
1t was necessary for the man in
charge, during the trip, to meet
and allow another interurban going
in an opposite direction to pass,
and before this could be accom-
plished, our zone man" operator
had to leave our carrier and throw
a switch, come back to his car
head into the passing track, then
again leave the car to close the
switch to allow the other car to
pass. After the other car had
passed, it was necessary for the
zone man" to reverse his previous
actions, without any help whatever,
so that he might" be able to con-
tinue his trip to the terminal.
Several passengers we're aboard
thi ssame interurban with me and
often have wondered if there were

a N Italian union of artists and
L A. musicians has adopted a reso-
luton censuring Arthur Toscanini
because he. refused to play the
Fascist hymn at concert.
The resolution calls his decision
absurd and unpatriotic. And it
goes on to say, 'ThiS man Of genius
would be much more glorious were
he ready to serve his country"
7 cannot see how the playing of
national anthems at all times and
places constitutes service to ones
country from any point of view.
The reverse is true. An anthem be-
comes stale and hackneyed if it is
overStressed.
Thrill and excitement can come
only when the circumstances are
peculiarly appropriate and poignant
Everybody knows what happens to
a melody if it becomes too familiar
And anthems are no exception to
the rule.
Here in America it is the custom
at some popular concerts to begin
with 1.-THE Star-Spangled Banner"
1t is extremely doubtful that this
practice encourages patriotism.
On most occasions the audience
struggles to its feet somewhat
reluctantly and takes the rite as a
chore which must be gone through
with.

Do the Rich Really Loosen Up?

Christ admonished the rich young man to sell
what he had and give to the poor. DO the rich
young men-or the rich old men-of America today
heed this exhortaton7 DO they even give any sig
ncant portion Of their vast incomes to relieve the
less fcrtunate2
There Is a popular belief that they do-that the
rich Of America are generous beyond all precedent
and comparison. There is conviction that the rich
not only contribute lavshly to standard and stable
charities but almost turn their pockets inside out

Season to Watch Poison Ivy Is Here

the leaf of the poison ivy or the
poison oak and thus to avoid
them.
The ivy has three dividing leaves
and yeIlowish white berries; the
poison oak is a small shrub with
broad leaves like the oak, and the
su1nac is a plant growing in
swamp places.
If the person recognizes that he
has been exposed, the skin should
be washed promptly and thoroughly
with soap and water. Water alone
will not remove the poisonous sap.
When the first symptoms of red
ness and itching of the skin appear,
it is possible to apply various prep
arations which neutralize the poison
and thus inhibit the spread Of the
infection.
According to DR.. James M. Nc
Nair, tincture of iron chloride is
particularly suitable for this pur-
pose.

Still Free

American law makers have been afraid to take
criminal syndicalism laws from our statute books
but American juries seem to be finding courage to
make them dead letters.
Oregon started drive against "Reds" few
weeks ago arresing thirteen workers in Portland and
charging them with Communist activities. Three of
these have been tried the prosecutor has told the
court that because they belong to the Communist party
they therefore teach and advocate the overthrow OF
the government by force and violence" But two of the
three juries have acquitted the accused.
These acquittals, following close on Judge wana
makers declaration that the Ohio criminal syndical
ism act is unconstitutional, make May 1881 notable
month in the annals OF civil liberty

1t stains the hands, but the stain
is preferable to the redness and
irritation. Any physician can pre-
scribe a suitable lotion which will
accomplish the purpose.
The various methods Of desensi-
tizing people against poison ivy
have been attempted, but thus far
none of them is established suffi-
GENTLY to be advocated as a routine
method.
The attack of poison Ivy is likely
to subside in four or five days, de-
pending on the amount of irritation
and exposure.
During the course Of the attack,
it may be desirable to apply other
remedies to overcome the irritation
and burning of the skin.
Ointments containing vaseline
cocoa butter. cold cream and SINH
lar protective and soothing prepa-
rations are much used for this pur-
pose.

The Wrong Path

T IKE Chicago. the little town of
~ Danbury, N. H, goes broke in
the struggle with law violators.
In Chicago it's the racketeer, but
in Danbury it's the hobo. They're
blood brothers when you come to
think of it.
Through mistaken kindness or
timidity on the part of some of its
citizens, Danbury had become the
mecca for trampS.
Town authorities decided that
something had to be done about it,
and undertook to arrest, Jail, deport
and otherwise discourage brethren
Of the pike" 1t cost them $14 head,
and now they're yelling to the coun-
try for help.
The cost Of law enforcement has
made it cheaper to feed tramps
temporarily. Also, it has made it
cheaper to pay racketeers the tribute
they demand. That is one reason
why people do it, taking the path
Of least resistance, which always
seems safe to those who won't think
ahead.
If we used more sense in ordinary,
everyday affairs that are close at
hand, we wouldn't need to worry
aaf so much over imaginary enemies
and future wars.

And so for the sake Of patriotism,

Efficient Fingers
THOSE "clicks' are thsaeIeotr

THOSE Clicks" are the electric
Il fingers, executing the COM
mands of the telephone subscribers
and picking out the numbers that
have been dialed.
With all due respect to the for
mer operators, who usually were
alert and competent, the electric
fingers are more efficient. They
make only the mistakes the tele-
phone user makes. They add mons
Of their own.
Zone wit observed that the great
advance in the dial automatic tele-
phone was that it permitted you to
pick your own wrong numbers).
A few generations ago, the dial
automatic telephone would have
seemed like witchcraft, as indeed
would any telephone at all have
seemed.
But there is nothing mysterious
about the automatic exchange. It
consists merely of great banks of
electric relays. AS a number Is
dialed, the relays are put into oper-
alton.
Such electric fingers are ideally
fitted for the operation of q tele-
phone exchange. But other indus
tries are beginning to profit by
them and more industries will in
the future.
Many machines which now have
attendants could be designed in
such way that they would operate
themselves.
Many engineers now feel that
any operation which is merely rou-
tine, calling for the exercise of no
judgment upon the part of the oper-
ator, and no skill, other than speed
and dexterity, could be turned over
to some kind Of combination of re-
lays, or similar apparatus.
In most cases, any competent er.-
gineer would find the task Of de-
signing an appropriate robot to be
a fairly simple task.

Relying on the Group

NNE Of the unfortunate conse-
" quences of mass action, even in
such simple matters as standing up
and sitting down is the destruction
of will power in the individual.
People who are governed too
largely by group psychology come
to be terror stricken when they are
compelled to act as individuals.
Even in minor matters there are
many who go into a panic if it be-
comes necessary for them to raise
a solitary voice.
Still it isn't fair to separate the
articulate and inarticulate under
the labels of towards" and heroes. 4"
The person who is ready at the
