BOsak Bank Closing.

Closing of the Bosak State
Bank is attributed entirely to bu-
siness reverses, recent seepage Of
deposits and the general depres.
sion. There has been no misuse
by anybody of the bank IS funds.
Until careful check is made on
the resources and liabilities the
full extent Of the failure will not
be known. 1t is hoped that de-
positors will be fully protected
and able to recover i'm full.
The Bosak State Bank was or
ganized some fourteen years ago.
Previously the Bosak Bank had
been operated as a private insti-
tuition. The bank represented =
lifetime of effort by Michael Bo-
SAX, who had been president of
the institution from it's inception.
Let it be said in this particular
that Mr.. Bosak and those asso-
ciated with him made every eff
fort even in the face of deprecia
ton Of securities and reduction
! OF resources to keep the bank
going and solvent. Mr.. Bosak s
honor and reputation had always
been behind the bank and he
labored with might and main but
in vain to stave off the closing
which came this morning by vote
OF the directors.
His chief solicitude was for hi;
depositors.
To Mr.. Bosak no less than tc
the depositors and customers OF
the bank the closing OF the insti.
tuition is a tragedy. Sympathy If
expressed for him by business as.
! sociates and all who know of his
struggle up from friendless i'm

Water of Vital Importance to Health

would leave a water balance in the
body of IA grams.
Foodstuffs vary in the amount OF
water they contain. CUCUMBER, to-
mato or watermelon will run high
in water content, as much, indeed,
as 80 to So per cent.
There are, of course, conditions
in which the major part of the
water is not lost by the kidneys, but
through the skin. A normal out
put Of fluid from the kidney may
vary from a pint to three quarts
day.
The moment the water supply is
reduced too greatly, unfayorable re-
actions appear. 1t is of the great
est Importance to realize that I'M
conscious patients do not get
enough water, and that absence is
followed by great distress.
In such cases a sufficient supply
of water is Of more Importance than
food and medicine.
A sick person confined to bed
will ordinarily not take enough va
ter 1t is important to have fluid
constantly at the bedside in the
ordinary case of illness, particularly
when there is fever, and to see to
it that enough fluid is taken to sup
ply the demand

Scientific Economy in Prison Architecture

What would we think of an architect of zoo who
designed a cage for gazelle of great strength
as a cage for lion or grizzly bear2 This is just
how sensible and economical prison architecture
has been.
The enormous waste involved in building fortress
prisons to house all types of convicts is well de-
scribed by DR.. F. Lowell Bixby in article in the
news bulletin Of the National Society of Penal In
formation on classification and Prison Buildings"
Dr. Bixby points out that it costs about $4,000
cell to build one of our conventional prisons or
formatories He shows from classification statistics
that only one-third of convicts need these maxi
mum security cells Two-thirds could be housed in
minimum security prisons which can be built for
81 coo convict. This means saving of $4,000 on
each inmate.
There are approximately 100000 convictS in
prisons and reformatories today. This means that
if we were to build new and decent plants to house
convicts, we could more than a quarter of
billion dollars through following the dictates of con-
Wet classification in planning new structures.
Still further, the new minimum security prisons
would advance reformation through introduction OF
more encouraging and stimulating physical surround
ings
We hope these ideas may permeate state legisa-
lures and prison commissions before more Of the
concrete and steel white elephants are constructed
TO the detriment Of taxpayer and criminal alike

A Cure for Communism

Talking to a group of American leaders in
this city, Jay E. White, mentioned as pos
sibility for state commander, sounded new
and refreshing note.
In the fight of the legion against com
munism, White suggested that it was more
important to change the conditions which
breed communistic force than to put soap box
agitators into jail.
That there is danger from communism
he asserted and had the. evidence to support
it. But in calling attention to recent hand
bills for hunger marches" he said:
THE truth is that the statements these
leaders make are all true That shows in
telligent leadership at beast 1t means that
we must meet the danger with something
besides force"
Two of the conditions which prepare the
soil for seed of communistic thought, White
said are the unemployment situation and
the uncurbed greed Of loan sharks.
The legalized activities of the latter, he
said were responsible for misery and des-
peration. The unemployment situation is
intolerable, and must be solved in an Ameri-
can way by American methods The legion,
he believed, would furnish the patriotic
leadership to make this country safe for
American traditions of liberty by creating
soil for American and not Russian doctrines.
To the professional paytrioteer who urges
force and suppression, this frank appeal may
have strange sound. To the thinking per-
son, it will commend itself.
A cure for communism is work at wages
which will support an American standard of
living. 1t is, at least, the best cure.
With the legion leading the way to better
social conditions and not depending on the
use of force all that these men fought for
in the World war will be more safe.

TN recent years the word "agitator'
/ almost always Is used as term
of reproach. In fact. the magma
ton supplies the prefix 'red."
And yet the most casual survey
must show that all cauSes-con-
servative or otherwise-have been
furthered by agitation.
The chief complaint leveled
against the agitator is that he takes
people who are content with their
lot and makes them dissatisfied
This is the charge hurled against
labor leaders who organize strikes
in districts where unionizatoin was
not heard of before.
And the manufacturers like to
say, as in the case of Gastonia, that
everybody was peaceful and happy
before the agitators came.
It may be true that even in GER
tain industries where pay is low and
living conditions severe, bovlnlty
can exist until some outsider calls
attention to the rigors and injus-
tees of the situation.
But this process of rousing men
and women to a thought Of some
thing better, or at least different
most certainly is not confined tc
radicals.
Many wholly conservative people
subscribe large sums of money for
foreign missions.

Questions and
Answers

Editor Times-I have been read
ing Of the charges brought against
Coroner Fred W. Vehling.
almost wonder who it is that
Vehling didn't kick in to. Whose
fur has he rubbed the wrong way
who has resolved that he get some
unpopular notoriety.
Possibly he is overstepping his au-
thority as coroner. Possibly his
actions need bearing into.
But can he control destiny? Can
he stop the flow Of violent and
casual deaths that have been so
heavy during the last few months.
which naturally have made such in
roads on the reserve expenditure
and claim fee funds?
Let us see this thing cleaned up.
On the other hand don't eve some
disputed pennies and at the same
time let thousands of dollars slip
out the back door from other county
departments.
do, as surely most thousands OF
Times readers, appreciate its actions
in delving into any deal that has
the public's money involved and
seems shady or investigation war
ranted.

Politeness Ceases TO Be O
Virtue When 1t Becomes a
Smoke Screen.

DOLITENESS has about spoiled
l. the international powwow now
going on at Washington. German
delegates would like to have dis
cussed reparations at greater length
British delegates would like to have
discussed war debts, American dele
gates would like to have discussed
the armament problem, and practi-
cally all delegates would like to have
discussed Russia
All hesitated, however, for fear
of wounding one another's feelings.
When they get home they will
foregather with their friends and
associates and tell what might have
been said, what could have been
said, and what should have been
said.
Instead Of clarifying the situa-
ton such method Of procedure only
adds to the general crouch. The
world can not hope to make much
progress solving the problems at
hand until it learns to be frank.
Politeness ceases to be a virtue
when it becomes a smoke screen.

AS Natives Sees Il

ATOW, obviously, the missionary
~ always is an agitator. He may
go to a South Sea island, where
trousers are quite unknown, and
stir the savages into putting on
garments by making them ashamed
of their previous lack Of attire.
You may say that this is a harm
full and busybody sort Of proceeding.
In the case of the South Sea mis-
sionary I agree, but my. point is
that the theory of ''let well enough
alone" has been violated constantly
by many who hold the admiration
of the conservative community.
Take the case of Woodrow Will
son. When he returned from Paris
and began to preach his theory that
salvation from international dis
turbances lay in the League Of Ma
tons, he qualified as an agitator.
I happened to be in favor Of the
agitation which he conducted. New
ertheless, it would be foolish to deny
that he weut into communities and

We Play War

Many Americans nlyStified to the admin
istrations purpose in holding this month the largest
military air maneuvers ever staged anywhere at any
time.
The President just has been making speeches on
the necessity of international good will and conf
dence Does he think that these provocative
games and bombing raids will make neghbors
love and trust us more? Does he think this mill
taristc splurge will help convince the rest of the
world of sincerity in signing the Kellogg treaty,
"renouncing war as an instrument of national policy"
anti-war pledge which he repeated this week
to the International Chamber Of Commerce?
The President just has been making speeches
the necessity of reducing preparedness costs which
threaten another armament and another war.
Does he think that this mammoth mobilization esti
mated to cost 100000 probably much more, will
reduce military expenses?
The President laments the bilon-dolar annual
deficit which faces the government next month,
staggering and unprecedented deficit larger than our
total regular annual expenses before the war. Does
he think the money burned up in this military gesture
will help balance the budget?
The President has blocked federal aid to the
100000 unemployed despite the fact that state and
municipal funds which have provided y per cent OF
the relief now are, in the main, exhausted. What
will the 100000 unemployed and their dependents
think of a government which, when they ask for
bread, give them show?
We understand that, as long the country
has an army air corps it must be trained and its
training paid for. Such training and such expense
is going daily throughout the year at sundry army
air fields without any propaganda stunts.
But we not understand why, at a critical time
in world peace and in disarmament negotiations, and
at a desperate time of unemployment and starvation
President Hoover chooses to sanction the largest
air maneuvers on record
Even if war propaganda is not the purpose, that
will be the sincere Interpretation of neghboring
tions and Of many Americans And that in itself is
enough in our judgment, to condemn these games

Barred by Age

rs a captain too old for active
4 service at rs?
A British court Of admiralty says
no.
Being 76 himself, the Judge who
delivered the opinion may have
been prejudiced, but let that pass,
In this era of the clocks and eff
ficiency experts, age plays an i'm
portant part.
Modern industry looks askance at
men more than so in the ranks.
Those at the top have been more
fortunate, but even they now are
coming under the ban.
Initiating the government, big
business is growing more and more
inclined to retire its generals and
commanders at IS.
Sounds rather strange when we
think of such men as Gladstone
Bismarck, Clemenceau and Vor
Hindenburg, who shouldered some
oftheir biggest burdens and en-
joyed some of their greatest tri-
umphs after 65.
