Sullivan Acts

In striking contrast to the suggestions OF
the organizations of big taxpayers is the
action of Mayor Sullivan to relieve the over
burdened citizen of his tax woes.
The mayor proposes to look into the JUS
tice of the contracts between the city and the
public utilities which in other days have had
influence enough to enable them to collect all
they desired from the public cash box.
Instead of cutting the wages of men who
work in the streets, and of girls who work as
stenographers, the mayor proposes to cut the
toll of gigantic corporations.
Strangely enough, none Of those who
pirate about official economy and demand
siashes in the pay envelopes Of the low
priced public help have ever suggested such
a relief program.
1t is significant that the Chamber OF
Commerce, demanding the abolition of kim
dergartens and vocational schools, made no
suggestion to the school board that savings
might be made by rate adjustment on
electricity and water.
That remained for Mayor Sullivan, who
has no obligations to these utilities and does
nOC owe HIS SieCClOH W 4ulIUo NOIA"AA N't"0N
from these sources.
The contract with the city for electric
light was made when coal was selling at
wartime prices. 1t was high when made. To
day it is extortionate. The cost of lighting
the city is beyond reason.
And the evil feature of the situation is
that about 80 per cent of all that is paid is
taken by devious methods, about which the
public service commission shows no curl
osity, for the use Of the holding company
that owns the common stock of the concern.
Of course, if the city is entitled to new
rate based on present conditions, then all
citizens might be entitled to the same relief.
The demand of the mayor for some SEM
blance of Justice in dealing with the light
and water companies should result in gen
eral demand by all citizens for similar adjust
ments.
One of the causes of depression is the ex-
actions and extortions of the holding COM
panies which operate the light, water and
telephone companies. Their levies amount to
much more than the cost of government.
The attitude of Mayor Sullivan should re-
suit in a public inquiry into the justice OF
all rates and into the practices of holding
companies. Perhaps the water baron may
discover that he can not lull the people into
indifference by giving pipe organ to po-
litical club.

Weighing Ingenious

THE method used to weigh stars
4 illustrates the ingenuity of
modern astronomy, an ingenuity
which surmounts the trillions of
miles between us and the stars.
The weight of an object is really
the measurement of the gravita-
tional pull of the earth for it. That
sis why it is not technically correct
to speak of weight except for OBJ
jects on the earth.
Mass is defined as the amount
of matter in a body. According
to Newton's law of universal crawl
tation, every body in the universe
attracts every other body with
force proportional to the product of
their masses.
Kepler, the great astronomer,
showed that the speed of the plan
cts around the sun varied with the
distance.
The farther a planet is from the
sun, the slower it moves. From this.
modern astronomers worked out
relationship which involves mass as
well as distance and speed. IL
In the sky, there are many double
stars, that is, systems in which
there are two stars revolving around
each other.
By determining the speed with
which these stars revolve around
each other, and the distance be-
tween them, it is possible, by apply
ing Kepler's law, to determine their
mass in terms Of the suns mass.
Having done this, 1t is then pos
sible to estimate the mass of other
stars which are not part of double
star systems.

LY HEALTH SERVICE

Of the amino acids essential. for
growth and for tissue repair.
The best examples of protein
foods of this character are milk,
lean meat and eggs. Others con-
tain some essential substances, but
need additional proteins to make
growth and maintenance possible.
These are called partially COM
plete proteins. The best examples
Of this type are cereals and such
substances as peas and beans.
Flour contains as its protein
gliadin of wheat, but this protein
requires the addition of another
protein called lysine in order to in
sure growth.
In arranging a diet. these facts
must be considered so that the diet
will include some of all the essen
tial protein substances.
Milk furnishes the best type of
protein for both maintenance and
growth. Eggs come next, and then
various meat products. Beans, peas,
corn and various cereals require adj
ditions in the form of milk, meat,
or eggs, to satisfy protein needs.
When the proteins get into the
body they are digested partly in the
stomach by hydrochloric acid, water
and pepsin, and to some extent in
the intestines by juices secreted by
the pancreas and by the intestinal
wall.
A protein diet is essentially an
acid-forming one. When burned in
the body, meat, cereals and prunes

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
BIRD in the hand is worth two in the bush,


L is an adage women never should forget
husband at home is worth a couple of dozen
in prospect Sometimes wife's desire for adven-
ture or her natural lack of sense makes her over
look this important fact
Several years ago, the wife of a Woodworking
Professional man, the mother of one child, decided
that she was too young and beautiful for domestic
drudgery. So she played around for time with an
elegant and fascinating bachelor, the catch of the
town.
Then the community treated to a vertable
sensation when she eloped with the gentleman, leav-
ing her husband and small son to fend for themselves
Today, years later, she still is waiting for
the lover to marry her. The former husband has
for some time been happily wed to a woman who
cares for his child and who now lives in compare
tive ease, since his efforts have been crowned with
success.
THE first wife is a pathetic figure. Those who
Il knew her best realize that she was only foolish
GIRL restless thoughtless weak, yet inherently decent
and good the sort of person who can not stand up
against adversely and who succunbs easily to
temptation.
The truth Is that men who make perfect lovers
seldom willing to play the part of husbands It's
one thing to seduce wife from her safe home but
quite another to marry her yourself and be in danger
Of having to assume the role of injured husband
in your turn.
And in spite of philosophers, we can't laugh of
the cold hard fact that one small mistake ruin
womans life. To fail in ones duty is to be a
traitor to the highest innate personal decency
And 1t sometimes happens, as ir% this case, that
1t also results in disillusion and despair.

furnish acids in predominance.
Gelatin is a protein, but it is an
incomplete protein because it does
not provide some Of the important
constituents.
Every one has to have 100 to 100
grams Of protein in the daily diet.
An ordinary glass of milk has only
seven grams of protein.
The white of the egg consists
chiefly of water, proteins, and min
eral salts. An average egg weighs
about two ounces; about one-sixth
of this is protein.
There are dietary faddists who
inveigh against proteins, claiming
that they putrefy in the intestines
and that safe diet is low in pro-
tein.
Such argument is utterly without
basis in scientific fact. Proteins are
found in fish, cheese, in vegetables
and in most natural foods.
The cheaper cuts of meat are as
good as the more expensive ones in
supplying protein. For palatability,
meat protein is in general superior
to vegetable protein. An adequate
diet contains about two ounces of
actual protein each day.
When it is considered that only
one-sixth of the egg is protein, that
less than per cent of milk is pro-
tein, it will be realized that a con-
siderable quantity Of food may be
necessary to supply the protein
needs, provided this need is not
kept in mind

Pity for the Prosperous

ny IOI tllG USpGl OuS
G. EEMINGLY it is the philan-
~ thropist's notion that the work.
erS should stick each to his own
nook and Granny and not wander
out into the open to be seen and to
cause distress to the more pros
porous.
If the jobleSs only would starve
quietly at home. the unemployment
problem would be solved in no time
at all.
1t is interesting to learn from
Judge Payne that the Red Cross
does not deal with unemployment as
such and has its own job to perform.
l think the gentleman should be a
little more specific.
After all, the Red Cross is not a
secret organization. All of us on
occasion are tapped for membership
during drives to raise funds. It can
not be that the associations
function begins and ends with these
drives.
During the war we all saw posters
in which the Red Cross was pictured
as THE Greatest Mother in the
World" If my memory serves me.
And so it still seems curious to me
that the organization should stand
aside until 1t has chance to relieve
suffering occasioned by "acts Of
God"
Almost it would seem as if Judge
Payne required the Creator to nudge
him from time to time so that the
Red Cross can swing into action.

believe people from PLATE up and
down have been troubled about
truth, not to mention beauty.
One mans beauty may be an
others mans sister. And some of
the acrimonious conflicts in the his
tory of the world have been fought
over the precise meaning of good
ness.
Indeed, there is a certain mega
tive quality in the articles contrib
uted by the various great minds rep
resented in Living PHILOSOPHERS" In
one point they all agree. No one
seeks to explain the meaning of ex-
iStence.
Indeed, three or four contend that
it is silly to worry about the prob
lem. But, silly or not, mankind al
ways has been concerned with this
riddle and always will.

ON Aug. 4, 1917, King George
~ V of England, on the occasion
of the third anniversary of the war.
sent Identical kilograms to the
presidents and sovereigns Of the
United States, France, Portugal,
Italy, Japan, Serbia and Rumania,
expressing "the unwavering deter
mination of the British empire to
pursue the contest until our joint
efforts are crowned with success and
our common aims attained"
The king also expressed conf
dence in the unwavering will of
the allied peoples and the heroism
Of their forces in achieving a final
victory obtaining the possibility Of
peaceful progress for humanity.
In his message to King Albert of
Belgium, King George expressed
confidence in the ultimate restora-
ton of Belgium to her rightful po-
sition among the free countries OF
Europe, adding:
The unfailing spirit of her peo-
pie under the grievous suffering in
flicted upon them by their enemies
will continue to inspire the joins of-
forts of the allied countries against
the nation which has trampled them
underfoot."

A Limit 10 Profits

IN this free country Of ours, it has
l. been understood generally that,
barring public utilities, business was
entitled to all it could make.
Sound as such a rule might have
been when business was largely con-
trolled by individuals, is it sound in
this age of combine and monopoly?
Can we afford to kill competition,
without imposing certain limits?

The SubConSCiouS

DEL1EF is a matter which does
- not reside wholly in the con-
scious mind. The most precise in
dividual will state his entire creed
and then in a crisis behave in
manner which does not fit at all
his professed belief.
I always have felt that even in
the most dogmatic sects some few
grains of salt were current in the
minds of the worshipers. And,
likewire, when I encounter the in
dividual who says, Il believe in
nothing" I refuse to take him at
face value, either.
Man does not live by rational
mind alone, although it would be
an excellent system. Each brain
has in its recesses where there are
stored some bits or boulders, as the
case may be, of hopes and fears and
nameless memories which have
come to us from the beginning Of
all time.

machinery. Labor in these fields should be organized
thoroughly to provide decent living Standards efficient
work and productive cooperation.
This unquestionably would mean that from half
TO wothrds of the present coal miners Of the United
States would be thrown permanently out of work in
this line of industry. This may appear harsh at first
sight, but it is the only way out.
The longer this vast surplus of available mine la
Dor is permitted to exist the slower will be the prog
ress of unonization and the greater the temptation
to go working inferior mines for few days each
year
But these displaced miners hardly can be left to
starve though they not far from that situation
right now Industrial re-education, such as that
suggested by Dean Russell of Teachers college is
the thing to turn to-
The federal and state government we'll might sub
sdze such vocational training is necessary to teach
the miners new trade. Not few formerly engaged
in mining and other trades may have to turn to the
country for existence rather than profit cultivation
Government aid also may be necessary here.
Whatever may be done with respect to the refu-
gees from the reorganzed coal industry the road to
sound economy and social justice in the country itself
is all too plain to any possessed of information
and candor.

Bright in Proportion

A MOTHER important relation
Il brought out by recent studies
is that between the true brightness
Or luminosity of star and its
weight.
The brightest star has true
brightness 10000 times greater than
our sun. That is, if it were the
same distance from our earth that
the sun is it would drench the earth
in 10000 times as much light and
heat.
The dimmest star known has
true brightness 10000 times less
than our sun.
Luminosity, it will be seen, runs
over tremendous range. The
brightest star is 100000, 900 times
as bright as the dimmest one.
The range Of weight or mass. as
already stated, is small Yet the
relationship between luminosity and
mass is so exact that knowing one
1t is possible to predict the other.
Another curious relationship exists
between the color of stars and their
mass.
The blue-white stars, which are
the hottest of all stars, are on an
average twenty times the mass of
the sun.
The white stars average less in
mass. the yellow white still less,
and the yellow ones still less, until
finally we reach the orange stars,
which have an average mass twice
that of our sun.
These facts are more than inter-
esting. Hidden in them, astrono-
mers feel certain, is the story of the
origin and lives of the stars.
The world awaits the genius who
can interpret them correctly.

Not Exactly Scientific
Peoples Voice

Editor Times-I think it. is won
derful the wholesome interest The
Times has given to John Tooley, the
l3-year-old boy from Princeton.
IND, who certainly has been a
much-abused boy by Judge Claude
Smiths decision.
John Tooley is a much misunder-
stood boy, growing up in bad en-
vironment. For Judge Claude Smith
to brand this boy ''bad, feeble
minded, incorrigible," and Danish
him from the county. is a decided
shove on the road to further Grim
inal tendencies. I feel deep sympa-
thy for John Tooley, and sincerely
hope that he has a fair and fight
ing chance given him.
I also wish to praise c. w. Negus,
superintendent of the Indiana Boys
school at Plainfield, for his loyalty
to youth and John Tooley. A friend
indeed to every boy in his charge.
Thank God for such men as Mr..
Negus and shame to Judge c. Smith,
who has the authority by the stroke
OF a pen, to condemn boy to the
feeble-minded school and grand him
a dad boy" unruly and incorri-
gible. I know Mr.. Negus personally
through my interest in the boys Of
the school. 1t is marvellous the way
the boys are trained and his per-
sonal interest i'll each boy is sincere
and encouraging to each.
Governor Leslie certainly should
deal with judge like Smith. I do
not think he should be impeached.
He, too, must earn a living, but he
can be honest in doing so. I hope
this boy will be left at the school
with Mr.. Negus. He has a better
chance there than out in the world
without guide, hungry and heart
sick. I think it also fine for j.
Brown to offer a boy a home; this is
what he needs, love and under
standing, a chance to grow up to a
good American citizen.

Hasn't the Time Come for Us
to Consider the Problems of
What Constitutes Il RED
SonabIe Profit?
SAYS:

NEW YORK, Aug. According
IN to the National City bank re-
view, 325 industrial and merchan-
dising corporations earned IS per
cent less during the first six months
of this year than during the same
period last year.
1t sounds pretty bad until you
learn that they still made a profit
of 51a per cent, which would be IL
per cent annually.
These same 325 corporations
earned 10 per cent during the first
six months of 1890, or at rate OF
90 per cent for the year. During
the first six months OF 1929, they
earned nearly Is per cent, or at a
rate Of almost 80 per cent for the
year.
Such figures cause you to wonder
whether unreasonable profit did not
have something to do with bringing
on the depression.

Stars Weight Varies With
Their Brightness; Some So
H eGUy a Tablespoonful
Would Weinh q Ton.
BY DAVID DIETZ-

eGUy a Tablespoonful
Would Weigh q Ton.
GLARS range from ones composed
- Of thin gaseous material a
thousand times thinner than the air
We breathe. to ones composed of
material so heavy that a table
spoonful of it would weigh one ton.
This is one of the amazing facts
brought to light by modern astrono-
mers since they have devised means
OF weighing the stars. Other facts
which this particular field Of re-
search has disclosed within the last
year are equally amazing.
1t has been known for some time
that the range Of size of stars is i'm
mense. The largest known stars are
more than a million miles in
diameter.
The giant star. Antares, has a
diameter of 4l5,0000O0 miles. The
smallest known star has a diameter
of $4,000 miles.
But there is no such wide range
OF weight or mass, to use the tech
nical term. No star has a mass
greater than 100 times that of our
own sun. No star is known to have
a mass less than one-twentieth of
our sun.
The large stars are the ones COM
posed of the extremely gaseous stuff.
They are. Professor J. @. Duncan
has called them, "prodigious bubbles
Of rarefled gas"
The small stars are the heavy
ones.
AS Professor A. S. Eddington of
Cambridge has said, it is. Just as
though some one had used a great
ladle to parcel out material for the
stars, putting approximately the
same amount of material in each
star, but blowing it out thin in some
and packing it closely in others.

THE proteins are a group of
closely related substances COM
posed OF carbon, hydrogen, oxygen,
nitrogen and sulphur. Some of
them contain phosphorus and iron
also.
The basic proteins are amino
acids. Whereas it was originally
thought many of the proteins were
alike, it is now realized that they
differ.
Some are made out OF essential
elements in the body; others can
not be made in the body, but must
be taken in the form of various
foods.
1t would hardly interest the aver
age person without a scientific
knowledge of chemistry to explain
to him the ways in which the
different proteins vary chemically.
Their technical names, such as
alanine, glycine and histidine,
having meaning for chemists. Some
food substances are called complete
proteins because they contain all
