Travel By Newspaper

A Detroit physician is said 10 have a novel hobby. He mails half dollars and dollar bills to new and strange newspapers all over the world. asking that the paper be sent as long as the money lasts. Some times presumably. he gets but one issue. sometimes several months of the paper. He does not often renew the subscriptions. He tries another newspaper In this way he gets first hand news and atmosphere from all lhe places in the world where news is printed.
 The doctor must be pretty good at lan- guages but undoubtedly he keeps getting better. for there is no better or quicker way 10 get a working knowledge of new tongue than by reading the days chronicle of events Tn it. Some of us get our travel through the Sunday sections of our own papers. or through travel folders and travel books Some of us actually travel. No matter how gotten. it's a lot of fun. and useful az we'll The doctor has given US a new idea as 10 the methods.

In discussing the political mania in this country for trying to remedy all problems by the passage of new law" by the establishment of q new regulatory board or commission or by handing out public funds in an endesvor to benefit one group of eiti- zens at the public expense. keen student of economic affairs recently said: We allow disappontments in unaehieved objectives to ruin our perspective; we become dis gusted with further attempts at reeoneilia- tions of differences between parties and &C., eept the other alternative of legislative enaet- ment to impose superior force on unreeon- eiled parties. which leads only to bad faith. long delay in judicial interpretation and eeo- homie distress with all it's consequent hatreds and fears.

Unique Ad

If sraws show which way the wind blows an advertisement may show the di- recton in which popular sentiment is drift ing. For example. here's a recent elgaret ad which shows the usual beautiful gfl. But she is not smoking. not even hold ing an unli2hted cgarel in her hand.
 The legend begins. Tt so happens J don't smoke" and then proceeds To give the beautiful girls comments on the favorte smoke of her friends. They've said this and that complimentary things about eer- tain dg. SO she supposes the brand they praise is delightful.
 No one supposes that this ad means that women are going 10 stop smoking. IL does suggea, however. that the feeling against biboards and other ads showing women and girls in tbe act of smoking has bad its effect, It suggests more sensible and hon est type of advertisement. too. and one Tn better taste,

ARGENTINAR PRESIDENT
 IS AN AVIATION FAN.

BuenOs Aires---The development of aviation in this country is pro- ceeding at e great pace, and ths airplane has become n factor Tn transportation 10 m extent that could not have been imagined two or three years ago.
 General Uriburu. Argentlna's provisional president. fs known as "rhe Flying President" because of his preference for this form of lo- comotive. The purchase of air- planes for commercial purposes and the extension of aviation facil- tiles get only casual mention now in the press. although two or three years ago they would have been headliners.
 Aviation has become n part of the iife of the people in q very real sense. not alone in Argentina but in neighboring countries as well. Chile is making notable pros gress, Paraguay is using airplanes in her sanitary service while m aerial police force is being de- veioped in Argentina and Chile. The arrival and departure of mall planes on time are now taken as matter of course. although short time ago the arrival of the airmail from Chile or PnrnEuay was . brassband affair.

The Wheat Delusion

The lower wheat prices go. the more nee' essary it is to keep pointing out the truth At the risk of appearing unsympathene 10 a farming population which deserves muen sympathy. it must be repeated that wheat ;s one of our minor national problems and that too much emphasis on it is diverting at tention from more serious matters.
 Wheat derives most of its importance from the fact that it IS a cash crop easily marketed. stored and shipped in normal times. In actual size and value, it IS rel atively unimportant in this country ana most other countries. An exception miSht be made of Russia. where wheat IS nadi- tionaly the main crop. In the United States if is always subordinate to corn and other crops.
 The obvious remedy for overproduction of wheat is the substitution of other crops which meet with less competition. and crops which may be adapted to industrial use. he positive effect of harplng on wheat ana subsidizing il. is that such procedure en- coursges additional production and greater surpuses.
 The negative effect is still more d'aas- trous. It distracts attention from the really big problems which are al the foundation of the present crisis in industrial civiIZation. The best brains of the world should be oe- cupied with the basic problems of unem' poyment. and with the connected problems of production and distribution oi raw ma terials and manufactured goods.
 The thing that has ihe most wrong with it. at present. is our industrial machinery The economic system is running badly. Thinking and doetoring must be broad and deep. The wheat ailment IS only one de- tail. and a symptom rather than cause. Farmers themselves should insist on getting at the root of the disease and working Tor the gefat and obvious needs - better eco homie organization. more intelligent bu''- nsss operation. more equitable financing frecr interchange of goods.

Friends or the navy have thought for some time that its interest might De Tn more capable hands in the house and their opinion is likely to be ,n- creased by the disclosure that the visit of the scouting force to Mon tauk. on Long Island, was under taken at tho behest of MT Britten. who is financially interested In the development of Montauk as n rec sort.
 In all probability. the scouting force might hs well visit Montauk as any number Of other points on the seaboard. What gives Inc visit a disngreenble aspect Is the ccidence which it brings that the armed forces of tho nation have been used for personal ends Whether or not tho force would benefit from the visit apparently was of secondary confederation What mattered was that MT Brit ten had interests at M0ntauk which he thought might be furthcred by n visit of the force. and his willing. ness to use the navy for what seems nothing less than advertis- ing is a harsh commentary upon his supposed devotion to the best interests of the fleet.

Checking the Plane

 This was typical of the trip and typical of Lindber2h. And it explains. better than anything else. why that incredible young man has invariably succeeded in hs ap- parently rash ventures. until the world now assumes his success as a matter of course.
 Genius has been defined as "a supreme talent for taking pains" Colonel Llndber2h has at least that kind of genius. Backed by courage and self confidence. which are much more common quantiteS. II eaffIea him far. Lindber2h is no stod2y ploddef' lie impresses one as man ol strong IeelhH and intuition, with flair for gambling with fate lie probably undertakes h'' pioneer flights on impulse He has got 10 do' those things. But having committed himself to course of action. he is all ln- ,elligent method and paInstakin2 labor
 He takes nothing for granted He checks over everything lie does the vital things himself. He knows where be IS going and how. and what he will do when he arrives He knows that his plane is all right --- and then il IS all right.

NO BACK-SEAT DRIVER
(New York Herald-Tribunc.)

That Mrs Charles A. Lindbcrgh K neither q back-sent driver nor a silent partner in the triple part nership of "We" has been admir- ably demonstrated by her nctivl- ties as radio operator on the va cation voyage undertaken by her and Colonel IAndbcrgh to Japan. Not content to share in the luster deriving from adventurous associ- alton with her husband, Mrs Lind bergh has been hailed by radio experts and technicians as an ex- pert brass p0under," navigator and cO-pilot during the extended Pacific flight. She not only has been responsible for the receiving of reports on weather conditions along the scheduled route. land ing conditions before and behind the plane and general navigating information but has supplied n waiting and interested outside world with exact and timely infor- nation on tho progress of the ad- venture upon which she and her husband are embarked.
 Perhaps these achievements on the part of the wife of Ameri- cas- most distinguished aviator are no more thnn might be expect cd of her. but they will be hailed by n multitude of nnguished vic- times of n more prosaic type of back seat driver as m illustrlous example of passenger conduct. Tho wretched motorist whose Sunday outing is rendered uncomfortable by unsolicited commands to drive slower, take the next turn to the right or for heavens sake to keep his mind on what he is doing will he able to point with 1ustifiable satisfaction tO the constructive contribution to travel made by Col Ljndbergh's navigating hclpmatc. If only for this reason. it Is pleas ing to learn the details of the Pacific flight partnership, and harasscd aut0mobiliSty with dom tneering relatives must hcknowl- edge thcmsclvcs in debt to Mrs Lindbergh for q bright example of usefulncss and reticencc.

KANSAS JUDGE
 IN NEW YORK
(SpringlcId ItcpubIican)

The federal judge from Kansns who has been holding court In New York city this summer has distinguished himself in two ways. As the judge who presided at the trial of Jack t"Lcgs") Diamond md sentenced him to four years in the penitentihry, he has inevit- ably won the approval of the law abiding elements of society. Many citizens envied Judge Hopkins his opportunity to perform n public service.
 The other score tho judge made was not SO popular, perhaps. Thc legal professl0n as Il body could not be expected to indOrse him un- Qualificdly when he said sharply from the bench, in the trial of the passer of counterfeit money, that | off a lawyer knows absolutely that his client 'is guilty. it k his duty t0 advise him to enter q plea or guilty" The defendant in that case had perJured himself. ana then had practically admitted hlf guilt to the judge, hls plea of not guilty, of course, being known by his lawyer to be contrary to the truth.
 Judge Hopkins's Obiter dictum has at least given many New York lawyers something tO think about in professional ethics. Ho was not extreme. for he added: "If the client insists on trial" after being advised to plead guilty, then the lawyer should net to the best of ms ability in seeing that he has fair trial" But he had in mind espe- cinlly lawyers who connive nt per jury. "Therc is lots of perjury Tn the courts." he said. "and it is my feeling that 1t must be with the knowledge of the lawyers who get | the benefits of tt."
 That the Kansas judge is mak- Ing n very decent record in New | York. while serving as q vacation substitute. is worthy of not be. cause hi snomInation to the federal bench by President Hoover en- c0untered sharp criticism on tho ground that the nomination wa, political and that the judge wh' not well qualified for. the federal bench.

of the sellers intent or state of mind is generally difficult and can be established only by facts and circumsthnces attending the sale. Thus, the more careful manufac- turers and dealers do not claim that the product makes wine or that it will have alcoholic content. Insacad. they promise your money back If you are not satisfied. The less careful ones are likely to be raided.

Accident Prevention

Bad manners on the part of drivers arc held by many authorities to be the prin- eipal cause of automobile accidents. Ae- eording to traffic engineers and statistieians the accident rate would drop to minimum if drivers would display little courtesy in operating their cars by giving way when other machines are passing. and would dis continue erowding cars coming in opposite directions. the unnecessary use of loud horns. driving slowly in the midst of fast moving traffic. etc.
 A survey conducted by the Albert Russel Erskine Bureau for Street Traffic Research has shown that the automobile itself is least responsible for accidents. Poor brakes. steering and similar factors cause only a small percentage of mishaps., Human nature has not yet adjusted itself to take advantage of the full efficiency and safety of the mod ern car. Nine out of ten cars involved in accidents are in perfect condition. Thus. in 90 per cent of cases. accidents result from human earelessness. incompetence or bad judgment.
 Good driving manners can cover multi tude of other falings. The driver who resents passing cars. who attempts 10 hold an undue share of the road, who has no respect for the rights of the pedestrian or other motorists. is a potential killer and de- stroyer of property. It is against him that future highway safety campaigns must be conducted if they are 10 show results
