The PEOPLES Health

THE evidence of the public health service shows
actual decrease of illness and infant and general
mortality below normal years. President Hoover says
mo greater proof could be adduced that our people
have been protected from hunger and cold and that
the sense of social responsibility in the nation has
responded to the need of the unfortunate"
Unfortunately evidence from social workers is not
so comforting. For instance:
Reports reaching the Red Cross indicate that
serious health problem may face the nation for
eral years to come result of curailed diets, ina
bty to pay for medical and hospital expenses, and
withdrawal of funds from local health work. The
effect upon the public health of widespread lowered
standards is for grave concern to the health
services of the Red Cross. james l.. Feiser acting

Buying Elections

Something obviously is wrong with the system
that permits senatorial candidate and his agents
to spend more than fifteen times the senator's an
nual salary to get job in the upper house of con-
gress There need be no argument about that.
Yet that is exactly what happened in November
of 1880, according to the report the Nye committee

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE
Diet Care Needed During Depression

of milk, and an orange would more
closely approximate what the hui
man body really needs for adequate
nutrition.
One of the points most empha-
sized by the official bulletin is the
desirability of feeding children at
home rather than in bread lines,
soup kitchens, or school lunches.
1t is desirable to preserve the
family unity if possible. Feeding of
children in the mass tends to omit
food for pre-school children and is
associated with emotional strain and
may lead to neglecting proper food
for mothers during the prenatal
and nursing periods.
The school luncheon has been
developed in the past as an edu-
cational measure as we'll as one for
safeguarding the health of the
pupils.
1t is emphasized that where the
school lunch has been provided in
the past it should be maintained
with continued emphasis on the
educational value.

Back to Work

More gifts Of charitable nature were given this
year than in any previous Christmas season. accord
ing to reports from large cities.
The reason is not in more generous spirit or a
broadened acceptance of the doctrine of human
brotherhood but in the dire needs Of more people.
The distribution of food to 1000 people at the
'tatehouse could not have happened in other years.
There could not have been found that many who
needed food which they could not provide for them
selves.
Every charitable agency discovered greater needs
and needy Redoubled efforts were necessary to
dspel distress this day Of days when hearts are
filled with generosity.
The cause, Of course, is unemployment. Too many
men are out of work Too many who have contributed
TO industry in the past can no longer find the OPP
portunity.
The appeal Of the Governor that odd jobs be found
for the obess before Christmas only emphasized the
precarious basis Of industrial life The temporary
Jobs needed badly. Permanent jobs for all are
more essential.
Christmas giving demonstrated that charity is not
the answer to industrial and economic ills Charity
might concevably be financed by the employed and
the financially sound. 1t not be tolerated by the
recipients permanent basis of life.

What be done in cities is demonstrated by
the contrast between the present and former cond-
ton Of Sixteenth street. Widening of that street

duplicated in many sections of this city 1t would, in
the end be cheaper to do these useful things than
to permit men to live in dleness.
When the federal and state governments finally
decide to start industry on the path back prosperity
by putting men to work, there will be end to the
ghastlneSs of charity by wholesale.
Federal aid may be unwelcome. But there are
other things that much worse. When the people
determine that they have the inalienabe right to
job they will get jobs

SAYS

Shallow, irresponsible Talk
for the Sake of Partisan
Politics Has Played Havoc
With Leadership and Pub
lie Opinion.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2s.-with
I winter officially recognized, it
is not out of season, perhaps, for
snow to be falling in Sicily, or hun
cry wolves to be eating soldiers in
Siberia, but what about the phe-
nomenon of sugar naples oozing
sap in Ohio and trees budding in
Illinois.
We have had a great deal of
freaky weather during recent years,
as is evidenced not only by the
records of temperature and storm,
but by crop reports.
Too much wheat, too much cot
ton and too much of some other
agricultural products, with glutted
markets and low prices as the re-
suit. have helped to demoralize
trade.
If some of the economic chaos
can be traced to a curious COM
bination of wind, rain and sun, why
not some of the mental chaos?
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1931-12-26

Every child who remains at school
through the noon hour should be
assured of one nourishing, hot dish
at least.
1t is also important from the point
Of view of the good of the COM
munity that food should be made
available to all and that there
should be no outward distinction
between those able to pay and those
not able to pay.
The mental hygiene aspects of
the situation can not be neglected.
1t is advised that in rural and in
other communities where there are
no established welfare agencies to
determine the family needs, the
schools themselves must take the
responsibility.
If it seems likely that the meal
served at the school is the one meal
on which the child can depend
especially, efforts must be made to
have it include an adequate amount
OF milk, hot dish, preferably a
thick, hot vegetable soup and
adequate fresh fruit.

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

TT is appalling to see the hundreds of good-lookng
and capable business girls who daily crowd the
employment offices, and who have become confused
and dazed after being forced through necessity TO
exert every possible effort to secure employment.
This sentence is from a San Francisco letter. The
writer would like to have law passed prohibiting
married women from getting jobs outside the home
I agree with her that it is appalling to see girls
hunting for jobs that are not to be found 1t also
is appalling to see with families searching for
honest work.
But we are letting ourselves into mighty deep water
when we argue that marriage should exempt woman
from wage earning. 1t leads into mental quag-
mires and by and by we are swamped completely
i BILE girls in San Francisco and elsewhere now
hunting jobs have had one or several opportunities
to marry and stay home Why have they not done
that? Because the ythought they could not better
themselves so far none yand comforts and easy
times go by becoming wives
Now, il it is just to pass law preventing mar
RED women from working it would be equally just to
pass another forcing girl to get married when she
got A chance. This, as see it, would lessen the
number of people now looking for work. It would
put multtudeS of women back into the hme.
The truth is that thusands of girls refuse to marry
at least they did refuse before 1929 because they
did tke the idea of staying home cooking scrub
bing and washing. They felt that life would be less
exciting in tn ekitchen than in the Office.
So not until girls willing to marry poor mer
and share their hardships with justice demand
that the married trying to improve Their
lot In life.

Petty PartiSanS

CENATOR BORAH suggests that
~ one way of reducing federal ex-
penses would be to cut federal sala-
ries, but no one expects the idea to
strike congress favorably, because
congress would be included.
In other words, while preaching
an altruistic attitude publicly and
privately, we take it for granted
that nothing will be done unless it
serves the selfish interests of a sIf-
ficiently large minority.
Shallow, irresponsible talk for the
sake of partisan politics has played
havoc with leadership and public
opinion, particularly in these
United States.
We Americans are getting into a
frame of mind where we find it
hard to think of any problem, rave
in partisan terms, and where the
next election becomes the most i'm
portant business in every session of
congress, or state legislature.

NEW SEA LORD
Dec. 26

ON Dec. 26, 1917, the British adj
~ miralty appointed Vice-Ad-
miral Sir Rosslyn Wemyss as first
sea lord to succeed Admiral Sir
John r. Jellicoe, who was elevated
to the peerage.
Italian and British airmen won
thrilling air duel in a fight near
Treviso. These pilots brought to
earth eleven Austro-German planes
which had been playing havoc with
the Italian troops. The Italian
army also scored on land when it
regained Col del Rosso, lost to the
Teutons on Dec. IS.
Plans of the United States gov
eminent to take over railroads in
the country were announced. Ray
mond B. Stevens, shipping board
member, testified that several
months of delay in the ship build
ing program was caused by repeat
ed strikes, reorganization of the
shipping board and the Emergency
Fleet Corporation.

contributions and expenditures and provide adequate
publicity for BOTH
1t IS true Of course that elections in this nation
Of more than 12OOOOOOO people necessarily call for
large expenditures. But this does not mean that
elections must become orgies Of spending with the
winner being the man with the biggest and fullest
pocketbook
The Nye committees proposal puts reasonable
limits upon the expenditures that may be made law
fully by candidates for the house, the senate and
the presidency.
But equally important, in our estimation is the
fact that the committees bill is erected on the prin-
cipe that "the election process, from the time can
didate announces his candidacy or takes any other
step looking toward his ultimate election, is a single
process regardless of the method which may be used
IN any state to determine the will of the electors"
The committee rightly says that "the corruption
of any part of this PROCESS is corruption of the
whole"
The Nye bill, from present Indications will pro-
woke rather prolonged debate in congress- for there
are several definite ideas there about how to amend
and strengthen the federal corrupt practices act
But all reasonable members of congress Will agree
that there must be some kind of effective action
along these lines

BefuddIed Experts

WE keep telling ourselves that
w restoration of confidence is
essential, but how can conf1dc ce be
restored as long as our supposedly
greatest minds are SO palpably at
sea, as long as the most highly
trained experts can do no better
than argue with each other?
Who can blame average people
for throwing up their hands in de-
spair when economists are unable
to agree over such questions as
Germany's financial condition, or
what should be done to stabilize
American railroads?
At the beginning Of this week,
congress went on record as opposed
to the cancellation or revision OF
war debts.
At the end of this week we find an
impartial committee of experts re-
porting that Germany will be in no
condition to resume reparation pay
ments when the moratorium expires
next July and that a revision of
war debts appears inevitable.

Foggy Foresight

MENTAL chaos is. and has been
Iva our chief source of trouble
since the Balkan ffacas of 1912
which really marked the beginning
of world wide cataclysm.
Since that time, the civilized
world has displayed amazing in
ability to foresee the effect of known
causes and tendencies.
This lack of judgment has been
all the more astounding because of
the great technical knowledge which
only served to double the catastro-
phies it brought about.
But for the frightful engines with
which it was fought, the war would
not have seemed quite so horrible.
But for the giant mills and ma
chimes which now stand idle, the de-
preston would not be quite so ap-
palling.

Editor TimeS-It was amusing tC
a member of the swollen army OF
the unemployed, facing the bread
line, to read your editorial page re-
Gently.
More taxes, and why? A machine
to displace 80 per cent of the cot
ton pickers Mrs. Walter Ferguson'S
jumping jack aristocracy. A fitting
cartoon of excessive water rates, and
NJ. E. Tracy with an argumentative
article further to reduce wages tc
hold our foreign trade.
To me this is fair sample Of
every paper every day. This is not
only a matter of the blind leading
the blind, but also a case of ounces
fooling the ounces.
There isn't an editorial writer to-
day who does not know our eco
nomic system all over the world is
breaking down and why it is break
ing down, yet they jolly themselves
along, happy il the thought if they
can brush up their vocabulary sufh-
GENTLY to find some new expression
of the same old bunk they may hold
their jobs a while longer.
1t doesn't require much of a stu
dent today to see the cause of this
depression, with its world wide
misery and the troubles resulting
from it if it is permitted to con-
tinue.
The total income of the United
States today is sufficient to take
care of five times its population ct
much higher standard, both in a
sanitary way and morally, than is
practiced today and the only re-
quirement necessary would be tc
recognize merit, abolish special
privilege, and distribute equal JUS
tice to all.
We have one 85-year- old familiar
character on Wall street, who
gained much fame as a straphanger,
who more than fifty years ago in
vested $1,000 in railroads at a time
when the government was selling
sections of land for few cents and
giving alternate sections as a
premium with the purchase.
This small investment, after keep
ing several families all these years
in winter homes, summer homes,
yachts and other criminal extrava-
gance, today represents several
hundred million dollars. Every
editor knows this, every editor
knows there are hundreds Of such
cases or similar ones.
Every editor knows there are
thousands of cases today where the
lions share of the nations income
is rolling into people who never
created cents worth of value in
return for it or contributed any,
thing in any other way.
Every editor knows there is crimi-
nal extravagances in the handling
of public property and public funds,
and that there have been numer-
Gus exposes of malicious theft and
nothing done, except to appropri-
ate another bunch of public funds
to investigate and return the same
old moss covered report, the statute
of limitations, or some other alibi.
A READER.
Editor Times-What is the cause
of our financial depression? Is it
not the lack of money in the hands
of a majority of the people? Is not
the lack of money caused by our
governmental affairs becoming out
Of balance with the general public
who maintain it?
Is this not caused by unnecessary
appointees, excessive salaries, and
failure of the judges to give justice,
and protect bhe peoples equities in
property, for which purpose we pro-
