SAFER TO FLY.

From the standpoint of mileage, 1t
is found that travelling by air is safer
than automobiling If the flying is done
in licensed planes, driven by licensed
pilots over regular airways, according
to DR.. Bauer, former medical director
of aeronautics for the government. He
states that there was but one fatality
to every 100000 miles flown under
these conditions during the last half
of 1880, while figures show that there
is one fatality to every 100000 auto
mobile miles, reports the Public Health
League of Washington.
DR.. Bauer states that the accident
rate among pilots in whom physical
defects were observed is much higher
than among those who are normal So
that in flying, as in every other occu-
patton, physical defects are a distinct
handicap and a menace to life itself
If all other detective eyesight, hear
ing, hearts and nervous systems were
detected as fully as are those of the
army pilots, and then, when found
corrected as completely and speedily
as possible, accidents on the terra
firma would show q decided decrease.
Whether we drive an airplane, an
automobile, or a go-cart, it is bad
business and worse ethics to risk our
own lives and others by neglecting our
physical condition. All army pilots
must undergo semi-annual physical
examination.-a custom which might
well be emulated by those who remain
on the ground. Such examinations
are an investment that pays big re-
turns,

GOVERNMENT AID TO PRESS,

Realizing the great value to the
country of the rural press, Gov.
franklin Roosevelt of New York advo
Gates state government aid TO the
country papers in order that they will
be able to continue their undoubtedly
splendid work for the nation, even
though they are to certain extent
nenaced by the competition of the
daily press of the cities and big towns,
competition which the New York
governor sees is intensified through
the operation of automobiles and
motor buses and trucks.
Everything Gov. Roosevelt says
about the country press is true, for
without doubt to the weekly press of
the smaller communities the nation
owes a large portion of the progress
and development it has achieved
While great city dailies have had a
tremendous Influence in the develop
inent of the nation, 1t has been the
little weeklies that have led the peo-
pie into the paths of progress and
have cleared the way through forests
and over hitherto trackless plains for
the advance of civilization which has
transformed the wilderness to well
settled and prosperous states with
rich farms and thriving towns.
The oaly method suggested by the
Now York executive for such aid to
the rural press is for government to
utilize the country papers for the edu-
cation of the adult population in the
principles of local government. "Of
course says Gov. Roosevelt, state
lid should not be used as political
corruption fund by the party in
power"
When one considers what the aver
age politician really is and how he
operates, either individually or as a
party, he can only wonder how 1t
would be possible to prevent the party
IN power from using the public funds
10 bring the country press into line
for the dominant party. Objection,

DID YOU EVER STOP
M nlyTNu
TO THINK
by Edison X. Waite

Ganlt MACEDONIAN. managing editor
of tho Trinidad Guardian, British
West Indies), says:
did you ever stop TO think what
pharoali would have charged to let
you carve your name on one of his
pyramids2 Could you have got a
square foot of space for the price of
n dinnerp You could not.
THE pyramids We're there for q
purpose some say calendars for his
tory--others just q personal advertise
ment-- others death notice. What
ever 1t was, none of the Pharoahs
ever sold any space on their pyramids
at bargain rates. When they told the
world, they did not believe in telling
them for nothing. II they could
have put up a pyramid for song,
they wouldn't have done 1t. They
valued those pyramids highly They
hadn't any newspapers.
Newspapers are the modern pyra-
mids, monuments many Of them to
the sweat of thousands of dead and
gone craftsmen. Newspapers that sell
their space too cheaply are going back
on the Pharoahs. Not only does such
newspaper sacrifice its self-respect
of the community. Too cheap adver-
Using means that the editorial service
is cheap-an empty pyramid bedecked
with handbills. The community is de-
prived of progressively improving
news service, it cannot have the pic
lures Of local events to which 1t is en-
titled, and the newspaper cannot af-
ford to pay its editor well enough to
travel far afield on his annual vaca-
ton. And If the editor cannot take
regular vacation far afield, the com
munity is deprived of an incentive to
progress.
1.-THE greatest stimulus to enter
prise is the knowledge that the other
fellow who started level in the race
of life is forging ahead Of you And
the only man who finds out what the
other fellow is doing, and doesn't
keep it secret, is your local editor.
Business firms who cry-down adj
vertising rates are crying down the
progress of their city. Some of the

The INDIAN PROBLEM.

There has been an Indian problem
in the United States ever since its
earliest settlement, but that problem
is being solved by the gradual absorp-
ton of the Red Man into our general
population, according to Secretary
Wilbur of the Department of the In
terror.
We have about $4,000 persons of
Indian blood in the entire country,
of whom about one-third are in Okla
homa. The rest are widely scattered
among 20 states, but even the reser-
walton Indians are intermarrying with
the white population and are rapidly
assuming the white mans manner of
living. A notable exception to this
general trend is seen among the
Navajos of Arizona, who have reser-
walton as large as the state of New
Jersey and still hold aloff from the
paleface.
1t is the policy of the government
to encourage the remaining Indians
! to obtain education and training with
a view to their giving up reservation
life and taking their places among the
Independent citizenship of the coun-
try. There are maintained 203 day
and boarding schools for Indian
pupils, where instruction, food, lodg-
ing and clothing are furnished free by
Uncle Sam. These are privileges
granted to no other element of our
population
Secretary Wilbur declares that it
has become obvious that the Red Man
eventually must lose his identity and
become as the rest of us, and adds;
From sentimental standpoint there
is much to regret in this fact, but it
is none the less inevitable"

STEPPING FORWARD.

We are livingsin the scientific age
and each year sees remarkable dis
coveries that help us to conquer d.
seases formerly not understood.
Following are some of the contri-
buttons to medical science during 1880,
says the Public Health League of
Washington;
Fever produced by short radio waves
was found helpful in the treatment of
the dreaded paresis.
An extract from certain gland was
found to affect Addison's disease in
much the same way that insulin af-
fects diabetes.
An artificial lung was invented to
keep patients alive whose breathing
muscles are paralyzed in infantile
paralysis or who are victims of gas
poisoning.
An engine, both protective and
curative, In pneumonia was discovered.
vitamins, properly administered,
will prevent leprosy in animals and
possibly in human beings, 1T was re-
vealed.
The germ which causes creeping
paralysis" was found with special
microscope which magnifies 1900
times.
The world mental hygiene congress
marked new era for the mentally
diseased.
A new method for studing the
growth of living tissue was developed
at a medical university and this study
may open the way to the solving of
the problem of cancer which now
takes dreadful toll Of life.
These and other discoveries of
scientific medicine bring a message of
hope to the sick.

German People Realize Two
Men Now Rule, Econom-
icaHy and Politically.

ny the Associated Press.
HEasJ.T IN, December i0.--Germany's
Moderate press today declared, with en-
phssis, that Chancellor Heinrich Bruen-
ing, who clampsd the iron rule of a
iuumvirate on the country yesterday,
had given Hitlerisn decided, and per-
haps decisive, blow by his latest radio
speech and DEGREES.
Two days of mediation, meanwhile,
on the decree issued by President Won
Hindenburg Tuesday night brought
home to the German people the fact
that two men, the chancellor and DR..
Earl Goerdeler, whom he made price
dictator" now rule the country, eco
nofnically as we'll as politically.
j All danger has not been swept out OF
the path of the Bruening cabinet, how
ever 1t still faces the possibility that
the Council of Elders might adopt the
Communist resolution calling for con-
yening of the Reichstag, and the deci-
sion on this may come as early as to"
morrow.
Would Dissolve Parliament.
In political circles, however the be-
lief was expressed today that II the
council should call for a session before
Christmas, the determined scholar
chancellor would WELD his dictatorial
powers, with the approval of President
Won Hindenburg, and dissolve the Par
liament.
The note of determination In the
chancellor's voice as he spoke over the
radio Tuesday night has given the indi-
cation that he intends to brook no op-
position.
The expectation In informed quar-
ters is however, that DR.. Brutning will
not have to resort to such drastic meas
ures and that he will be able to swing
the doubtful parties into line by the use
of the persuasive powers which have
proved effective for him in the past
In the meanwhile DR.. Goerdeler Is
proceeding with the job of his price
dictatorship" and he disclosed that one
Of his first moves viii be to cut prices
freight rates and prices Of standard ar
ticles.
Emergency Decree Felt.
Already the effects of the sweeping
emergency decree are being felt. A con-
siderable number of political meetings
that had been scheduled for the next
few days have been Cancelled. Shortly
after the decree was announced 100
Hitler followers were arrested at
wuppertal, in the Rhineland, for
wearing the banned Naz uniform.
The Vossische zeitung lauded the
chancellor today as "a great man equal
TO a great task"
Since yesterday" the newspaper
said, sit can be felt that Germany is
not being governed by a substitute for
q cabinet of tomorrow, but by q man
who in a decisive hour outgrows his
seeming limitations and rises to great
heights by tremendous power of will"
