Philosophers are especially given
to vanity. Theirs is a sheltered life,
amongst books, bordering abstract
theories, delving into mysteries.
Every philosopher, professor, COL

tatoes, cut his winters fuel; do some
labor to prevent him becoming too
exalted.
All citizens in the ideal state will

person, and they become Snobbish.

Anemia Likely to Follow Infections

the formation of the red blood cells,
or an increased rate of destruction
of the red blood cells.
1t is known that iron is necessary
for the development of the product
called hemoglobin, that liver con-
tains some factor which is of i'm
portance in stimulating the forma-
ton of the red blood cells and that
the vitaminS are frequently of value
in aiding such formation.
There seems to be no doubt that
liver is most effective in the type
of anemia called pernicious anemia,
when the difficulty probably lies in
the formation of the red blood cells
in the bone marrow.
Many infections cause increased
destruction of red blood cells and at
the same time interfere with the
formation of blood.
Obviously therefore it is of the
greatest Importance to control the
infection rather than to stimulate
the formation of any blood cells.
If the infection is brought under
control and the increased deStruc-

Organize Own Firms

NNE almost is tempted to draw
~ the conclusion from Killeffers
remarks that an occasional depres-
sion is a help to. the chemists.
In 1921 some of the chemists
who found themselves out of work
started in business independently"
he says.
In many instances they we're
ultimately more successful than
their former employers. This is
likely to occur again.
There are presidents, plant man
ayers and research workers who
have been victims of the depres-
sion, and who now are unemployed.
Such men are capable and efficient.
Some of them will join together
and find capital AS soon as bust
ness takes a definite turn for the
better, you will find these groups
branching out for themselves.
"They are free from the disad-
vantages of a large organization
which frequently is cumbersome and
slow moving. The older firms will
meet with strong competition from
the new companies which are bound
to be born out of periods of unem-
ployment."
But the depression has its gloomy
side also for chemists. About $50
applicants for positions are regis
tering monthly at the employment
bureau of the Chemists Club.

A Move for Safety

ONE of the greatest air trans
~ portation companies has de-
cided to curtail the operating life
of its planes by about one-half.
Hitherto, it has been proceeding
on the assumption that planes and
plane engines were good for 1000
or 5000 hours.
A thorough survey by experts in
dicates that engines can not be
used with perfect safety" after
1000 hours, or planes after $500 or
5000.
Believing that safety is the most
desirable object, the company will
scrap both when they have been.

does Herbert Hoover

WHO does Herbert Hoover
w think he is? I am aware of
the fact that the Office of President
of the United States carries with
it certain authority and power. But
it never has been customary to
throw any protective screen around
our executive to safeguard him
from verbal attack.
Mr.. Hoover seems to have leaned
farther toward conception of lese
majestic than any other man in the
White House.
1t must be remembered that
criticism of the President has been
extremely severe from the very be-
ginning of our republic. George
Washington, although hailed in his
own lifetime as the father of his
country, was abused like a step
father by many people during his
second term.
Lincoln was assaulted with great
harshness, even by northern sup
porters. And few have passed the
portals of Washington without hear
ing their share of criticism.

It's CONGRESS- Problem

XXTHERE are we going to get
Wv more taxes-out of big in
comes, out of luxuries, or by some
new scheme?
It's a problem for congress, and
it has leaders worried nightly.
No one wants to see anything
done that might prevent, or even
retard recovery from the depres-
sion, and no one wants to see any
thing done that might ALLEVIATE
votes. Still, the money must be
had, and lots of it.
The one consoling thought is that
the nation as a whole has an ade-
quate supply and that the people
have learned some valuable les
sons from their recent experience,
which will find reflection at Wash
ington.

Something Has Happened

CPEAKING CT business, Raymond
~ Clapper of the United Press, re-
ports Wall street as inclined to be-
heve that the tide really has turned.
That is what you might call re-
assuring, for of all blue places in a
blue country during two blue years,
Wall street has been the bluest.
Something must have happened,
though no one seems to know just
what, or why. Maybe, it's the rise
in wheat; maybe, Wall street has at
last walked up to the fact that farm
ing really counts.

PAINLEvE RESIGNATION
November IL

ON Nov. IS, 1917. after sixty days
~ of existence, the Painleve min
istry of France was forced to re-
sign, following its defeat in the
chamber of deputies.
The Socialists refused to support
the government.
The crisis came in the night dur
ing a debate over the governments
lack of firmness in dealing with the
Bolo Pasha scandals.
Georges Clemenceau, heading a
new government, formed a new
cabinet within forty-eight hours,
establishing a speed record.
In addition to the premiership,
Clemenceau took the war portfolio.
Stephen Pichon was made foreign
secretary. He had held the same
portfolio in 1910 and was known as
a relentless advocate for the recov-
cry of AlSace-Lorraine
Twenty-four survivors of the D. N.
Luckenback, sunk in the Bay of
Biscay on Oct. 81, 1917, arrived in
an American port with a story of

crew were killed.

Learning All the Time

XXTERE learning not only how
w to do things, but, what is
vastly more important, how to do
them decently.
Time was when people thought
it smart to get away with anything
they could, to send out rotten ships,
overload excursion boats, sell Shod-
dy goods, Shortweight customers,
adulterate food and water milk.
Some do it still, but they belong
to a rapidly dwindling minority.
Business, especially of the sub
stantial sort, has accepted the idea
that honesty is the best policy and
that service pays.

Let the Public Decide

WET there is one point in the
\ controversy in which I am
compelled to concede that the Presi-
dent is entirely wrong. I think it
a little silly for him to demand an
apology from his accuser, particu-
larly as that apology is to be based
upon the findings Of a board ap-
pointed by the President himself.
It would be news indeed if a
presidential commission of any sort
brought in findings totally at vari-
ance with the opinion of its chief.
And so I think it would be far
more Shrewd for Mr.. Hoover SIM
ply to spread all the available facts
in front of the public and let us
decide who is right and who is
wrong. AS matter of fact, it is
a misconception of the situation to
dwarf it into a personal issue be-
tween william H. Gardiner and the
President.
After all, if greater amount of
money is to be spent on naval prep
aration it will come out of our pock-
cts and from neither Mr.. Gardiner
nor Mr.. Hoover We should con-
stitute the logical jury.
And this same rule ought to hold
good in other disputes. Any PreSi-
dent of the United States ought TO
remember that large part of his
function is impersonal. Things said
about him do not, in most cases,
reflect upon him as an individual
but solely upon his official attitudes.
Moreover, this crumb Of comfort
belongs to- every person set upon
the high hill of our national life
even if a President is good there
are a lot of us who will not like
him.

0F course much of it has been
~ unfair. Possibly it may be
argued that the dignity of the
Office should temper the phraseology
of the attacks.
But this is not the rule. Wood
row Wilson certainly went through
an ordeal of abuse far more vicious
than anything aimed at Herbert
Hoover. If Mr.. Hoover kept his his
tory nearer to his fingeTtips, he
might remember that his lot is pre-
cisely the same as that of prac-
tically every other President. But he
seems to forget.
Almost alone among, our execu-
tives, President Hoover has under

who have dared to question his

So much has been learned about

War Profits

Thirteen years ago, when wars blood and terror
had marked us deeply our whole thought was con-
cerned with finding means to end war;
With the lessons of 1917 and 1918 fresh in our
minds, we saw clearly the relation between war and
war profits and accepted the fact that as long as war
profits possible war will occur
The conscrpted men who served in the arny and
navy resented profoundly that some men should be
made to die for dollar day. or live on crippled.
with even less, while other men reaped a harvest of
gold from the ground fortified with their blood
Today we still talk Of taking profits out of war; but
listlesSy, without conviction
"A committee of congress recommended in 1921.
while war still real to u.s. that it be made treason
aole-therefore punishable by death-to profit from
war
Now another committee Of congress and cabinet
members has completed a study of war profits which
presents strikingly different picture 1t concerned
itself principally with the extent of possible profits
limiting them at or perhaps per cent It exhibits
deep respect for the due compensation clause of the
Constitution.
VIII 1t take another war to make us feel deeplv
on this question again? Must we wait till we sit de-
spalring in of blood and death before we will
grow angry enough, determined enough to really end
profits?

ton. The railroads made profits during the war.
