The Right Spirit

President Hoover and Secretary Hyde have shown
the right spirit in relaxing agriculture department
regulations on farm relief loans The SOS 100000 fund
recently appropriated is involved
The original regulations limiting seed and feed
loans to maximum of $4,000 and rehabilitation loans
70 $1,000, proved unreasonably strict. Such loans.
when made, failed to achieve the relief purpose of
legislation Other features of the regulations were
severe and involved that farmers generally protested
Relief can not be extended to those who need If
most because the law specifically required security
and many farmers have had their securities vfned
out by decade OF distress capped by the drought.
But the administration under the new order clearly
intends to go far as the law allows in the direc
ton Of liberal Interpretation
The need is especially great The Red Cross inst
has reported serious food shortage in 400 counties
OF the drought area At the same time the agriculture
department reports that prices of farm products still
are declining, having reached in February the lowest
point in twenty years The present farm price index
is 80, which is Al points lower than last year.
Rather than fix any new rigid regulations for re-
lief loans the administration has decided very wisely
TO leave wide discretion to the local administrative
agents, who are in position to weigh individual
needs
If these local agents will carry out the new. in
structions as literally as intended many desperate
farmers will be able to get enough money to feed their
children and to plant the crops upon which thew
must depend

In the first half Of the present fiscal year from

is spending about $5OOOOOOOOo for war purposes in
this Kellogg era
Therefore, when we read Of current increases in the
federal income taxes let not be misled by the cur
rent bayhoo to the effect that this all is due to in
creased relief expenditures
If we were to show the slightest public honesty and
indicate that we believe in official protestatons Of

pigeons. There are many racing
pigeon clubs in the state, consisting
OF many men whose only recreation
IS racing pigeons.
The city of Indianapolis has two
such clubs, the Monumental Racing
Pigeon Club and the indianapolis
Racing Pigeon Club. The Indian
apolis Club has several times offered
a reward Of 500 for information
leading to the arrest and conviction
OF any persons shooting a banded
racing pigeon. The members of these
clubs have invested much money in
racing pigeons, some even import
Ing them from foreign countries.
Yet many racing pigeons are shot
every year in Indiana, in spite of
a federal law which makes it an Of
tense to Shoot imprison or MAIN a
banded pigeon.
Often a pigeon arrives home

shooting reported to the address be-

Mars and the Dole

There is much concern and some hysteria about
the mounting appropriations throughout the world for
unemployment relief The controversy over the con-
gressonal appropriation of s25ooOoOO for drought re-
lief occupied the front pages for weeks.
CONSERVATION greeted the announcement that con-
gress had appropriated perhaps half billion dollars
for various types of direct and indirect alienation Of
suffering due to the depression and drought. We are
astonished and dismayed to learn that Britain is
spending 100000 week. or s25O,OOOOOO year, UNI
der the so-called dole" system.
Undoubtedly it is deporable and unhealthy
socio- economic condition which renders any such
Isrge-scale relief necessary. Yet such expenditures

The Monkey Law

Tennessee is thinking Of withdrawing her Iegis-
ative Endorsement Of the book Of Genesis as the true
story Of creation and taking from dusty shelves the
books OF science she has ignored. If she does, she
will bring to end one of the strangest episodes
in the modern world.
1t is six years since Tennessee enacted her
monkey law and almost that long since John L.
Scopes was tried, convicted and fined for teaching
evolution in the public schools.
Most of the world snickered at Tennessee or de-
bounced her for ignorance or bigotry. But, looking
back it ALL it is possible to concede that Tennes-
see Internationally may have performed a useful
service In doing what she did.
Certainly she educated many thousands of peo-
pie in the scientific theories she forbade her own
children to learn. Scattered through many states
except the Biblical theory of creation until their
newspapers laida feast of scientific thought before
them in the summer of 1925.
The Scopes trial, featuring two of the nations
most famous lawyers and reported in every paper
in the country, undoubtedly educated thousands Of
people in Tennessee and other states and perhaps
housed in them a desire for learning they had not
possessed before
Furthermore it is easy to imagine Tennessee
youth during the last six years seeking out scientific
reatses with all the zest reserved for forbidden lit
erature. Perhaps Tennessee has hit upon the per-
feet method for making education interesting
Perhaps she will be making a mistake if she
removes Darwin from the shelf where the DeCameron
is hidden and puts him back in the compulsory
course of study

Money!, Idle Men

IF education per system really had
Il been the genuine article most
people took it for, we would not be
In the jam we are right now.
Small wonder millionaires are
afraid Of being criticised for adding
to college or university endowments,
while millions Of people are without
opportunity to earn honest livings.
Capital has little use for existing,
except as it can keep the economic
machine going. To do this, capital
must not only be put to work, but
put to work in the right direction.
To a large extent, the idleness
among our people; is due to the idle
ness among our dollars.
If we have millions Of men look
ing for productive employment, we,
also, have billions in cash.
The more cash we tuck awav in
trust funds and endowments, which
must be kept safe at any cost, the
more capital we remove from the
channels of ordinary business which
involve certain amount of risk.

The Parils of Curiosity

Henry r. Fuller talented salesman for the famous
Boston publishers, Houghton Mffln Company, found
himself in Memphis one Saturday evening recently.
He hestaed invade the privacy OF professors homes
to vend his wares on the Sabbath He was fed up
on movies.
His chief avocation being the study Of economic
and social conditions and having heard much about
the treatment Of Communists in southern cities he
decided to learn the facts He didgood and plenty.
To be completely above board, he went to police
headquarters and asked to be directed to Communist
headquarters Whereupon he told:
Their headquarters are right here, sonny. You are
In the right place" ..../
Mr. Fuller was yanked in, roughly handled, put on
the secret docket of the Memphis police and kept in
the local jail for two days Friends were not allowed
HIM was given no soap towel and not al
lowed to shave.
Confirmation of the suspicion that Mr. Fuller was
secret agent Of Stain was furnished to the police by
the fact that he had in his possession magazine con-
tanning an article by Norman Jones
In due time it appeared that the police had pulled
bad boner in putting Mr. Fuller in the hoosegow.
He proved no ordinary vagrant Red; indeed no ordi-
nary book salesman.
He found to be graduate of the University
of North Carolina, descendant of John SEWER first
Governor Of Tennessee, and grandson of one of
General Robert E. Lees trusted officers.
Moreover, nothing redder than interest in Amer
lean life could be proved against him.
So Mr. Fuller turned loose on Monday with
three days growth of beard Mayor Overton assured
the trembling citizens of Memphis that the city was
in no imminent danger OF a Communist uprising
But the police came dangerously near to making
at least one new Communist AS Mr. Fuller expressed
it; Il walked into the Memphis police station a stu
dent of economics came out almost a Communist"

Questions and
Answers

How are eggs preserved CONNER
cially?
The commercial process for hold
ing or preserving eggs is to dip
them in a solution of odorless and
taSteless mineral oil, which has been
heated somewhat to increase its
fluidity. This solution tends to seal
the pores of the shell which pre-
vents the entrance of air and con-
sequent evaporation and deteriora-
ton.
Is there enough crude oil in stor-
age in the United Sts teS to last q
year, provided no. more oil is pro.

mines says that on Aug. 81, 1929
there was approximately 450,0O0,00C
barrels of crude oil in storage ir

current rate of consumption, would
last approximately six months.

D EADER, what would you have
IN done had you been that editor?
The question goes to the bottom of
one of our biggest problems, espe-
cially as it has been revealed by
recent events.
Have we gone too far in endow-
ing our institutions of higher learn
ing, and, if so, should we hesitate to
expose scared philanthropists to crit
icisn?
Until now, we have proceeded on
the conviction that too much could
not bedone for education. partic-
ularly in the way in endowments.
Until now, we have entertained no
doubts whatever as to the wisdom
OF piling up all the money behind it
that could be wrung out Of the
people.
Until now, we have nothing but
praise for those. who made our COL
leges and universities strong from
a financial standpoint.

yates tramping up and down our
city streets in a vain hunt for work.

Pasteur and Darwin

TNHE turn" of the centuay
L brought two great advances
in biology with the development Of
the modern germ. theory in the
hands Of that great triumvirate Of
modern bacteriology, Pasteur, Koch
and Lister, and with the develor-
nlent Of theories Of evolution by
Darwin and Wallace. Let us go on
with our dates:
1857: Louis Pasteur began his
study of bacteria with the publica-
ton Of two papers on Tactic Acid
Fermentation and Alcoholic Fer
mentation."
2 1859: Charles Darwin published
his Origin Of Species" It is in
teresting to note that both Darwin
and Wallace were led to their COM
illusions from q reading of Maltfl-
us famous essay on population.
1873: James Clerk Maxwell, the
British mathematician, published
his electromagnetic theory Of light.
It was this paper which led the
German professor, Heinrich Hertz
to attempt the generation Of eIecs
tro-magnetic waves by electrical
means. Hertz succeeded and the
waves were named Hertzian waves
in his honor. We still use them
today, but we call them radio
waves nowl

A Gigantic Mil

MERE can be no quarrel with
4 education per Sc, but education
per Sc and education per system are
not necessarily the same thing.
What we have in this country
IS education per systenl-edllcation
as exemplif1ed by huge buildings,
glutted treasure chests, crowded
classrooms and stereotyped courses.
To all intents and purposes, it is
a gigantic mill, through which we
grind out just so many units of a
given type each year.
According to the catalog, all
B. AS NJ. AS and Phi. DIS are
pretty much alike. According to
life they are not.
Youth has been trained to regard
a degree as not only a reward, but
a guarantee, which can be obtained
after about so much drudgery and
which can be converted into about
so much cash later on.
The idea of education for its own
sake, or, as a never lending task,
plays little; part in the picture.

Wealth Is Problem

TT generally is admitted that our
L wealth lacks proper distribution
that a few people. have far too
much, while many have far too
little.
Though not wholly, or even main
ly, responsible for such condition
the way wealth has been sucked I'D
and coagulated by institutions of
higher learning has had something
to do with it.
There is a law Of proportion
which determines how much wealth
or energy we can afford for various
activities, and which, if ignored,
brings disaster.
Tie time clearly has arrived for
us to inquire what percentage of
our capital should be devoted to
certain lines Of endeavor, Just as
the time has come to inquire what
percentage of our young people
should be trainsd for certain trades,
Or professions.
