HEALTH SERVICE :
Actual Ptomaine Poisoning Is Rare

The monkeys fed considerable
amount of the pie failed to develop
the symptoms. This may have
been due to the fact that the germs
did not have the specific effect on
the monkeys or that some other
cause was involved.
According to DR.. E. o. Jordan,
only eight states in the United
States require the reporting of
cases of food poisoning and only
eleven states require the reporting
Of the condition called botuliSm, a
specific form of food poisoning.
Out of 145 fatal cases reported
as botulism poisoning, post-mortem
examinations were made in forty
three, which proved that deaths
were due to such causes as appen-
dicitis, malaria, alcoholism. inflam-

GERMAN AIR RAID

GERMAN AIR RAID
June 5
ON June 5, 1917, the third of
" series Of air raids took place
when sixteen German airplanes
came over the North sea and
dropped many bombs on the small
towns and villages in Essex and
Kent.
Only fourteen of the raiders re-
turned to their home base, for two
were brought down by British guns
The British casualties were low,
only two being killed and twenty
nine injured.
The raiders met with lively re-
ception, extra precautions having
been taken by British authorities
after the previous raid.
The Germans were attacked by
British aviators before they had op-
portunity to carry out their raid
ing intentions to any great extent,
and the British anti-aircraft guns
were very effective.
The official statement said that
the raiders also attacked the naval
establishments in the Midway.
A considerable number Of bombs
were dropped and certain amount
of damage was done TO house prop
erty, but the damage done to naval
and military establishments was
practically negligible.

Little Team Work

ME revolution was in grave DAN
Il ger of failure because of a lack
of teamwork and an excess of di-
vided initiative. Again the scanty
rations and insufficient supplies of
the troops in the field were occa-
stoned by both bad and dishonest
management of those behind the
lines.
History, as we teach it In our
secondary schools. maintains that
all dead Americans who were
touched by the fervor of war i'm
mediately became heroes. We have
saved our Benedict Arnold as one
convenient scapegoat to act as the
whipping boy for all the rest in the
revolution. There were others less
distinguished.
The danger which threatened not
only the war, but the peace which
followed, lay in the separateness of
our forebears. They had great diff
ficulty in cooperating in either the
maintenance of a conflict or con-
stitution.
There was endless pickering
among military commanders. Many
recruits felt no loyalty to the COM
mander-in-chief and the idea of
federation.
They fought not so much for the
United States, which was still an
unrealized vision, but for Virginia,
Connecticut, Massachusetts, or what
ever was the community of their
origin.

Governor Conley's $40

Recently 6O4 hungry miners of West Virginia,
whose credit had been shut off at the company stores
marched from Ward to Charleston to lay their plight
at the door Of the state Capitol Governor William
G.. Conley drove out to their encampment near the
city made speech read portions of the state Con-
stitution to show that he could do nothing, and do
mated $40 from his pocket for food.
The gesture was kindly. But in its futility ypi-
fed the craftsmanship and economic acumen Of most
of the Governors of our United States. In West Vr-
ginia 10000 miners families up against the grim
realities of hunger eviction sickness and actual star
walton, and the Governors answer is a $40 bill
At French Lick, Ind, other Governors just have
finished their annual conference. In face Of such
staggering problems unemployment, want, pro-
hibition, taxation, the Governors spent their time
talking politics, eating dinners and discussing the
next meeting place. Only three, Roosevelt, Pinchot
and Ritchie touched any Of the fundamentals Of
state issues.
The effect of the Governors conference will be
about as telling upon the nations welfare as Cover
nor Conley's $40 bill upon the soft coal problem.

Progress?

The California legislature has passed measure
aboshng its twin gallows at San Quentin and Folsom
penitentaries, with their wel-worn thirteen steps
apiece But it proposes to build a lethal gas cham
her, such Nevada has erected to the majesty of the
law it venerates.
If we are expected to applaud the California legis-
lature'S action a triumph of humanity over bru-
tally, we must beg off. There's nothing to this but
a triumph OF sentimentalty. What does it matter
how a state kills its condemned?
Were California courageousy progressive, her leg
islature would have joined Michigan and the six
other, states where capital punishment has been abo
ished and where the murder rate averages nearly
per cent below that of the twentysx backward states
with capital punishment
Even with its new gas house. California and Ne
vada will trail behind twenty-five foreign nations of
Europe and Latin America that have done away with
executions.
Whatever goes on in the little gas chamber will be
cold blooded, official murder The victims will be SUI
located to death instead of shocked to death at the
end of a rope.

BY what slender thread liberties hang.
That's something not to be overlooked or passed
lightly in contemplating the recent 5-to-4 decisions
of the United States supreme court.
What if the to had been the other way round?
Trace back the story of how some Of our liberties
we're acquired; religious freedom, trial by jury, the
right against unwarranted search and seizure habeas
corpus right to peaceful assembly right to petition for
redress of grievances freedom of the pressthe lat
ter just having run the gantlet
Dust off the history books and read of the strug-
gle. Go back to Runnymede and beyond, Oppres-
sion human misery, bloodshed smear the pages. Bit
ter sowness characterzes the tale of how by one
those guarantees were wrested from the tyrants of
old And finally, in the Constitution of the United
States, the Bill of Rights written
Then the years roll on and now we find it within
the power of one body of men, nine in number say
whether of those guarantees gained at such price
shall stand or be destroyed
BY to 4 the vote says Stand"
But the escape is narrow.
Through the years more and more the power of
the supreme court has grown. Today its power
transcends that of any other agency in the nation
From it there is no appeal
And on an issue as clear cut as number one Of
the original ten amendments, 14O years after that
amendment was declared by 1.-The fathers to be in
force We see the safeguard saved by the skin Of its
teeth.
Had the balance been tipped the other way by SO
much as the weight of other type Of mind by
so much as the death or retirement Of a Holmes or
Brandeis and the appointment Of another point
of view" a corner stone would have crumbled.
The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.
And the question OF whether the power of the SUI
preme court is not too great-whether some check on
it is needed, that would ruin directly back to the
peoples thrown once more into sharp relief by the
coseness of recent supreme court decisions.

recent disarmament plea to the International Cham
Der Of Commerce.
We say unfortunate reaction because we are con-
WINGED that the President is sincere in his statement
that revival Of the threatens the peace
and prolongs the world depression
We are not so convinced, however, that the Presi-
dent has shown all the courage necessary in han
ding such emergency. Certainly sincerity is not
enough He must supply daring and leadership or
the February disarmament conference will fail as the
London naval conference failed.
Already some European powers are maneuverng
for indefinite postponement of the February confer
ence fortnight ago there was evidence that the
state department was wavering, that it might be
drawn into that dangerous plan of delay.
We believe that any such retreat from the
American peace policy by the Hoover administration
would meet with overwhelming protest from the
voters.
But if Secretary Stnson is going to Europe in the
interests of disarmament and not Of evasion he will
go armed with the tremendous power of American
public opinion.

tients happen to die of such condi-
tons.
The articles of food most COM
monty connected with food poison
ing are meat and meat products,
and foods which are mixed and
stand for a considerable time before
being served, such as hashes, meat
pies and salads.
1t is particularly significant that
IN great many instances the cases
of food poisoning are traced to the
use OF raw or imperfectly cooked
food.
Notwithstanding the tremendous
use Of canned products in the
United States, canned foods are not
among the most frequent sources.
In the last twenty-five years great
strides have been made in develop
ing correct handling Of food prod
ucts.
PaSteurization Of milk, manufac-
ture OF bread by machines and sub
sequent wrapping of the bread in
clean, sterile wrappers, cleaning and
wrapping Of fruit and similar pro-
ceSseS add slightly to the cost of
food but assure certain amount of
safety from disease, which costs far
more than the little sum expended.

HurI a Challenge

NEUSSOLINI and the Bolshevists
1Y1 accept the challenge with fear
less candor, arguing that the new
economy demands a new political
system.
We claim that they are wrong,
that mass production can be had
without mob psychology, and that
business can be unified without es-
tabliShing a bureaucratic form of
government.
Whether we are right in theory,
we are wrong in supposing that this
is possible without a credit system
which functions in consonance with
our ideas.
AS has been shown In election
after elections, people associate their
economic condition with the gov
eminent, and vice versa.
When their economic condition
becomes dependent on class, clique.
or group rule, how can they retain
faith in democracy?
Life insurance companies, build
ing and loan associations. savings
banks. the federal land bank. farm
loan banks and industrial finance
corporations show how democratic
principles can be applied in an eco
nomic way.

IT SEEMS TO ME BY H FF03%

president HERBERT HOO
L YER chose a curious place in
which to preach the gospel Of
rugged individuality on Memorial
day. He drew an analogy between
the experiences of George Wash
ington's army during that bitter or
deal and the present economic de-
preston.
AND out Of Valley Forge he read
the lesson that we must work ou1
way from difficulties, not through
governmental agencies or any large
scale cooperative planning, but
through the resources and the mi
tiative Of the individual.
But Hoover has skipped over the
facts of history or read them care
lessly if he finds Valley Forge a
tract against collectivism. All &C
counts of that winter home Of the
ragged Continentals testify to the
fact that the rigors of the en-
campment were largely to be traced
to failure in cooperation.
It is, Of course, true that the
leadership of Washington was suf-
f1ciently strong to keep an army in
being, and a few brave spirits
stayed by him. But hundreds de-
serted.
When the pinch came, there
were many soldiers ruggedly indi-
vidualisticl to the point OF saying:
Each man for himself"

Peoples Voice

Editor TimeS-As reader and a
subscriber to your paper, permit me
to say a few words on the reduction
OF wages. Now, while these contrac-
tors of the city are cutting wages,
why not cut the big utility com
panies the same as they wish to cut
labor, telephone and all? Give us
the old nickel street car fare so we
will be able to ride to work. Cut the
gas, light and water rates. WHY
not the mayor, Governor and the
rest of the city officials, and those
of the state also?
1t seems as though the only ones
who ever get too much are the
laboring men. No, the contractors
never make an excess profit. No!
They come here with nothing and
in few years they own apartments
flats, theaters and have stock in
everything of value.
1 see where the phone company
made gain in March of 462 phones
and in April, 500. It looks as though
We easily could cut the rate 20 per
cent there, because if wages GO
down, the phones will have to come
out; they never could pay for them.
If skilled labor comes down, what
are they going to do to common
labor? Charge it for the privilege
of working, I guess.

Air and GRAVITY
THE force of rravitation !.

VIE force of gravitation IA re-
Il sponisble for the earth retain
ing an atmosphere. The tendency
OF the molecules of gas which COM
pose the atmosphere is to f1v off
INTO space. This tendency is coun-
teracted by the earth's gravitation
pull.
The atmosphere is densest closest
to the earth's surface. AS one as
cends into it, it grows thinner and
thinner.
If the atmosphere had a mi
form density from top to bottom, It
would extend only to a height of
i've miles above the earth's surface
But the density decreases very
rapidly with height, and so the at
moSphere extends to a considerable
distance.
At a height of thirty miles. the
air is only one-hundrdedth as dense
as 1t is at the earths surface. At a
height Of fifty miles, the atmosphere
has become so thin that 1t does
not exert any appreciable pres
sure.
There is some air at this height
however, as is proved by the re-
fraction or bending of the suns
rays at this height, and by the fact
that meteors or Shooting stars" be-
come visible at this height.
Just how far the atmosphere does
extend is a matter of opinion. Some
authorities think that there NAV
be slight traces Of air at a height
Of 200 miles.
DR.. Willis Luther Moore. former
chief Of the United States weather
bureau, is Of the opinion that the
atmosphere gives out at a height of
about 100 miles.
Meteorologists are very much in
terested in studying the upper
reaches Of the earth's atmosphere
because they think that many of
the weather conditions at the sur
face are the result of what is 60
ing on at high attitudes.

has been given an impression that Indiana is hos

Six LAYERS of Air
divide

METEOROLOGISTS divide the
Iva earth's atmosphere into six lay
ers, or, to state it more technically.
into six concentric "aerespheres.
The innermost layer, the one next
to the surface of the earth, is called
the troposphere. It extends up to a
height of about six miles.
Exploration of this layer with re-
cording instruments attached to bal
looms shows that the temperature
falls with the rise in altitude.
The second layer is called the
isothermal layer, because it's tenn
perature is everywhere and at all
times the same, about 100 degrees
below zero on the Fahrenheit Their
mometer.
The third layer is at height Of
Of about thirty-six miles. It is
known as the meteoric region, be-
cause meteors become visible in this
layer.
The fourth layer is at a height
Of about fifty miles. It is called the
Kennelly-Heaviside layer, in honor
OF the two scientists who advanced
theories about it's behavior.
Radio fans are familiar with It.
1t is the layer Of electrified or ion
lied air which acts as a Ceiling"
to reflect radio waves.
The fifth layer is known as the
auroral layer. It is extremely thin
and extends upward from a height
OF sixty miles. It's upper limit is in
doubt.
Some authorities think it may go
as high as 200 miles. The auroral
displays are thought to occur In
this layer.
Some authorities place a sixth
layer beyond the auroral layer. It
has been called the Empyrean layer
and gradually trails of into the
emptiness Of outer space.
