Politics Gets Lively Again

Trying to keep abreast of all of the charges and
counter charges that fill the air at Washington is too
much Of a job for most Of us. We read Mr.. Smiths
blast at Mr.. Lucas. Mr.. Lucas reply, Mr.. Raskobs as
sault on MIR. Kent, Mr.. Kents reply, MI. Fess' wallop
at Mr.. S~house-and the thing gets beyond us. It's very
interesting, but keeping informed on all of it is a full
time job. No one mortal can comprehend it all.
However, as an indication of an awakened interest
in politics by the general public, it is all rather encour-
aging. Public apathy in regard to politics has been the
curse of American life for more than a decade. If we
can get back to the old condition in which men took
their politics seriously, we may get that long-awaited
realignment of the two major parties-and, as a con-
sequence, a better and more responsive government.

@. How long is the Russian verst?
S. P. .
A. 1t is a measure of length equal
to 0.66288 miles.
@. Why are the mornings at this
time of year shorter than the after
Moons? j. w.
A. The Naval Observatory says
that forenoon and afternoon are al
ways equal, or very nearly so, by the
sun; they are, at times, far from be-
ing SO, by the clock. The reason for
this is that clocks give, not the ac-
tual solar time, but the mean or
average solar time. Noon by the sun
is when the sun is due south; that is
to say, noon by the sun is midway
or very nearly midway between sun
rise and sunset. Noon by the clock
may occur as much as one-quarter
hour earlier or later than noon by
the sun, the difference being known
as the equation of time. It so hap
pens that when the days begin to
lengthen in December, that noon by
the clock is growing relatively earlier
at a rapid rate: in other words, is
moving toward the time of sunrise
and away from the time of sunset;
the tendency being to shorten the
f%orenoons and to lengthen the aft

@. What does the musical term,
fret, mean? H. X.
A. A. fret is one Of the narrow
ridges of wood, metal, or ivory cross

guitar, either, ETC., against which the
strings are pressed by the fingers to
! shorten their vibrating length and
thus raise the tone.
@. Is a preservative used on the
obelisk In Central Park? c. D.
A. At one time, about fifteen years
ago, the obelisk was treated for the
purpose Of preventing the o~bliteration
of the hieroglyphics.
q. How large was the Trinity
Church tract? How did Trinity
Church acquire it? E. v.
A. The Trinity Church tract con-
tanned about 81 acres and was var
iously known as the Kings Farm, the
Dukes Farm, and the Queens Farm.
Van Twiller, the Dutch Governor Of
New Amsterdam, sold this tract in
1886 to Roelof JAMS, and by his will
it became the property of his wife,
Anneke. She died in 1868. leaving

Where Would It End?

Clear-thinking Americans will agree with President
Hoover in his argument with the senate over the pro-
posal to appropriate money for relief of persons in the
drought-stricken areas.
The president has asked AL Smith and Calvin Coolidge
to head q campaign intended to raise So 10000 for this
purpose. He recognizes the need and asserts that the
meeting the emergency.
The senate, on the other hand, wants to appropriate
$751; 900 from the government treasury for the same
purpose. The measure was sponsored by Senator Robin
son Of Arkansas, a candidate for the vice presidency at
the 1928 election. His home state happens to be one OF
those hardest hit.
The crux Of the whole matter is not the question
Shall these people who need help be assisted?" but how
they shall be assisted. America is too big, too prosper
raised in vain. It may take some work but this nation
can and will raise the money to meet this emergency
It has been done before.
But the senate would set a precedent by appropriating
the taxpayers money for charity. 1t would set an exam.
pie of paternalism which might and probably would have
far-reaching effects. Every dollar which is appropriated
by congress must come from the pockets OF the people
of this country. If charity is added to the already long
list of government activities an entirely new field of ex-
~penditure is opened up. It appears limitless.
It follows, then, that the people probably will agree
with the president rather than with the senate. They
know, If the senate doesn't. that there is no secret money
chest from which the government Golfers are filled
They know, because their taxes help to fill those Golfers
And they, like the president. will ask themselves the
question, Where would it end?"

What's in a Name?

AISS ~ 49, ~ *AAA
Chicago recently had another demonstration Of the
power which rests in q name.
No one doubts that one man can do and get away
with certain acts for which a more obscure or less
influential person would be put in Jail. There are and
have been evidences of this fact in plenty.
On the other hand, the possessor of a famous name
may not do some things which his less famous brother
can do because Of the fact that, when one reaches a GER
tain point, every unusual thing he does becomes news.
Few of us appreciate the anonymity which is ours merely
because we have failed to distinguish ourselves suf-
ficiently.
The Chicago case which demonstrates the power which
names exercise over the imagination had to do with
AL Capone. Even the lad on the prairieS of North Da-
kota, far removed from the blazing guns and devious
ways of the Windy City, does not need to be told who
Al Capone is. Probably he is the best known resident
Of Chicago. Charles G. Dawes, Samuel insult, William
Hale Thompson and scores of others could be mentioned,
but Capone probably has been given more publicity in
recent years than any of them. Perhaps more than all
Of them put together.
And so it IS easy to understand why the crowd in a
Chicago theatre became panic stricken when a man in
the audience jumped over the footlights and beloved out
I'm Al Capone'"
The chorus fled from the stage, leaving it in possession
Of the newcomer. The crowd was aghast and a part of
it ran for the exits.
Then the police came and took the man away; found
OUT CQ6C MS ud1QS ~ WA11dW NdESIdkS ulaG Ue Oluu
even know Capone; that he had no idea why he had
leaped upon the stage or used Capone's name.
1t was an enlightening incident in that it showed the
power of the Capone name In Capones own city. There
was no threat Of violence; no statement Of intention to
harm anyone.
And yet the crowd was panic-stricken. Those in it
knew of Capone, although probably none of them knew
him personally. They were afraid because of the fact
that the name has come to be associated with vice
wickedness, outlawry and assassination, swift and sure
Their imaginations, stimulated by the beloved announce
ment, pictured a machine gun or, at the very least, a
pistol in his hand.
One reading Of this incident gets a new slant on con-
ditions in Chicago. He begins to understand why it Is
that our second largest city is having trouble in Kidding
itself Of vice and crime.
The simple fact Of the case is that the people of Chi
cago are afraid, as individuals, to buck the system
with which the name Capone has become synonymous.
They have seen his orders executed ruthlessly and surely.
They know opposition to vice rule means personal danger.
Few Of them are willing to risk their own hides in the
battle for Righteousness. Sometimes one wonders, in
view Of the record, II they can really be blamed.

II neglected for too long.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
No Breakfast
Question: M. E. asks: us doing
| without breakfast injurious to
health? If so, what effect will it have
on body or mind?"
Answer: I believe that everyone
| should be hungry for breakfast. II
you are not it is probably because the
rest of your meals are not balanced
properly. Perhaps you are eating toe
much at the evening meal. You
should by all means 60 without your
breakfast If you are not hungry, but
try to balance your meals in such
a way that you will be hungry in the
morning after your twelve-hour fast
from the evening meal before. The
best plan is to stop eating entirely
until you r really hungry for sim
pie, n%ourishing food.
Assessed Teeth
Question: Constant Reader asks:
Can abscessed teeth be cured by diet
or medicine? Dentists I have con-
suited do not want to treat my alb
scessed teeth as the old-time dentists
would do, but wish to extract. They
are good strong teeth in a promin-
ent position in the mouth and I dis
like very much to lose them"
Answer: It is sometimes possible
to cure abscessed teeth through diet
ing and the proper local treatments.
It takes quite a long time, is necessar-
lily expensive, and requires following
the strictest kind of diet. The old
time dentist left too many abscessed
teeth in, and the newer ones take too
many dead teeth out which are not
abscessed. If X-ray pictures show
your teeth to be abscessed, either
cure the abscess or have the teeth ex-
tracted; don't let them remain in
your mouth in their present condi-
ton.
