Relief for the JobIess

At the present time, citizen must be pauper
before he can receive any aid from the state
county
That he has been thrifty and saving investing
his money in home works against him in these
perious days
If he loses his Job and owns an equity in home.
he is in worse shape than the man who never even
thought of owning his home.
The law will not permit the township trustee to
aid him and the times prevent him from obtaining
any loans on his property.
There are thousands of citizens in exactly that
situation today. There will be more thousands next
winter.
To meet that situation, Representative Weiss has
proposed the machinery for county relief. He would
have it administered without COST. board would
control made up of three county officials and provide
for the victims of their own thrift in dire straits.
There is real need for some agency that can
function in these cases. 1t may be necessary to have
general board for all charity before the effects
of the depression end. 1t is well to have machine
that functions
However, board produce results without
money. The proposed measure would levy tax OF 10
cents on legal documents. The one criticism is that
such tax would produce too little to make the effort
worth while The board should have ample funds
to take care of the thrifty who now in hard luck
through no fault of their own.
They must not be allowed to either suffer physical
ly or be plaged and pundered by the 3 per centers
Or as great, if not greater, Importance than tax
relief is the whole subject of relief for the
poyed during the coming winter. This is but
phase The legislators will fail in their duty if they
adjourn without setting up machine that will
function on wide scale, which will provide relief
without excessive charge to the public and which,
most of all, will see that there is no hunger.
Conditions in the mining camps and industrial
cities are such as to make no emphasis necessary.
The jobless must be cared for The thrifty must be
protected. There must be no hunger.

Maybe Too Modern

TINE saddest part of the pickle
Il we are in is the amazing num-
Der of perfectly good theories that
have f1zzled.
Not much of anything has turned
out as we expected it would dur
ing the last twelve years.
Maybe our blind faith in mechan-
lied prosperity, mechanical morals
and mechanical society is somewhat
at fault. Maybe we are just a lit
tie too modern for our own good.
Maybe we have thought too much
about machinery and too little
about men.
Our forefathers had a notion that
the attitude of people had some
bearing on their ability to make
work; that if they were promoters,
developers and builders by nature
they would get somewhere, regard
less of law, or foreign policy.
We are cleverer, of course. We
have invented contrivances that can
do the work of ten, or even 100,
men in some particular line.
Then We have gone to the arith-
metic and proved that such con-
dition means less work and that
our only hope of keeping everybody
employed lies in restricting the
amount each of us should do.

ITO me George Bernard Shaw is
4 less amusing on the air than
Budd and Colonel Stoopnagle. l
also prefer Walter O'Keefe and Ed
Wynn.
And yet I thought that Mr.. Shaw
acquitted himself well in his recent
transatlantic broadcast. I liked
his little talk, but, of course, I did
not always agree with him.
The Irish sage clings avidly to
certain sentimental notions which
have no place in the culver of a
modern man. Like most elderly
gentlemen possessed of no children
of their own, he is prepared to set
himself as an authority on the sub
ject.
I would be one of the last to as
sert that the mere fact of paternity
confers instructive wisdom upon any
one, but 1 do feel that association
with the young may bring at length
an inkling as to what they are all
about.

Feeding Of Children

MIR. SHAW followed the excellent
1V1 practice of giving out one
subject for his discourse and then
preaching on another. For the most
part he seemed concerned with the
care and feeding of infants.
In developing his point of view, he
showed how Enthusiastically old
fashioned he has become. Thus
after many years the radical of
Adelphi Terrace has caught up with
Jung, but the interesting ex-
Fermentation of Watson seems not
to have fallen within the scope of
his observation.
Surely few of the later day
psychologists will agree with him
when he says:
"Our children come into the
world, whether we like it Or not,
with characters which we have not
made and can not unnlake. Some
of their characteristics are survivals
Of savagery-so troublesome to us
that they often infuriate us into
clouting them at one end or smack
ing them at the other"
In other words, Mr.. Shaw seems
to think that each one born into
the world is at birth a separate
entity, with inclinations already
formedf Moreover, he heeds the
ancient heresy that we come trail
ing with us deep ancestral memories

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

The circumstances Under which
the woman lives, the state of her
health and nutrition, her daily life
and occupation may all exercise
some effect on her health and on
that of the child.
Insanitary dwelling with over
crowding, inadequate lighting and
ventilation may be serious in their
effects on both mother and baby.
If the home conditions are I'M
satisfactory for the woman who ex-
poets to have child, every effort
must be made to obtain better &C
commodations, particularly at the
time when the child is to be born.
Finally, there comes the question
of work. How long shall the wom-
an continue to work previous to
childbirth?
1t has been shown that a prolon-
CATION of the process and a re-
duction in the weight of the new
born infant may be the direct con-

Just Every Day Sense
By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

ONCE the national conventions it looks as if NE
- are about to do something about prohibition Most
anything viii be an improvement.
AT least We shall learn how the ma oritv of Amer
lean people stand on this issue.
And it will be very foolish of those who desire a
cnange II they allow themselves to be duped bv the
peer parades. 1t is not only possible but probable
mat resubmisSion may find most of the popuace still
voting dry.
This of course, will not mean that thew are all
teetotalers For the alignment this question will
present one OF the most paradoxica situations ever
seen IN America. When the day for voting comes
the emhattled hosts Of the Lord" will be found fight
ing side by side with the minions of Satan,
The forces of morality and prohibition and the
racketeers will be champions of the same cause At
last Mrs Boole and Al Capone will get together
Rogues and rascalS of the underworld who make and
sell rotten whisky will be allied with respectable
housewives in this struggle.
The extremes OF holiness and virtue will goosesep
TO the polls alongside the extreme of Skullduggery
and lawlessness.
A ND somewhere between will march the average
n American citizen, who is neither all good nor
all bad; those who know that prohibition never win
bring temperance; the much talked about wet in
terests,' whatever they may be- and reformed drvs
like myself, who believed in this law and have
learned the cost of that belief to American ideals and
honor
And let us not forget that there will be moral
issue at stake, as great ever faced any nation
the issue of what constitutes morality for a free
people.
The eighteenth amendment was the work of those
who considered themselves decent citizens They be-
heved that people can be made good by law. We
never shall make Intellectual or any other kind of
progress so long we hold that belief
country's morals are not represented by its laws
They rest in the behavior of its people. And America
never will be cry until she learns to depend upon
temperance instead Of prohbikon.

Peoples Voice

Editor Times-"Three men who
need work; small wage guaranteed. 4"
Elderly man-for milking cows.
Room and board"
"Woman-help with homework;
good home; 81 week"
These are ads taken from the IN
dianapolis Star and News; and as
we soup hounds read it,. we wonder
what capitalism will advertise next,
for this surely is capitalism in its
glory.
The meekness Of the toilers is
amazing to this writer, and he asks,
how long! About 700 years ago,
one Genghis Kahn conquered Asia,
and the people were so terror struck
that at his presence, or at the men
ton of his name that all would drop
to their knees.
At one time, when raiding a city,
twenty captives were lined up by
Genghis Kahn's officers and Or
dered to their knees with their
heads bowed for decapitation. The
captives meekly obeyed the order,
and when all were ready, the Of
ficer who was to decapitate them
found his sword was missing.
He then demanded that the
doomed captives maintain their po-
sition while he went for his sword.
They all obeyed but one, and that
one lived to tell the story.
The meekness Of those captives of
the twelfth century we may forgive,
but what Of our present generation?
We soup hounds Of these United
States are about as degenerate as
human beings can be. We, it seems,
rejoice when our masters see fit to
let us work at wages and conditions
which they set to suit themselves,
and if those conditions are brutal
and inhuman we still toll on, I'M
grudgingly, like slaves.
Events have for some time, more
so than ever before, revealed an
appalling Ignorance Of American
leaders in public life; the stu
pidity and lack of courage amongst
the toilers are events mere ap-

sequence of work continued until
the moment of childbirth.
Sometimes it is better that a
woman continue the regular work
that she has been doing as long as
possible, to keep her muscular sys-
tenn in good condition.
In any event, the employment of
the woman always should be under
observation, because of the danger
of certain poison in industry, and
particularly because of the dangers
of undue fatigue or excessive strain.
In many countries laws have been
passed protecting prospective
mothers.
In our own country there is lit
tie such legislation, but everything
possible is being done to educate
women to seek the attention of a
physician as soon as possible and
to realize that early and continued
attention may mean the difference
between life and death.

Lewis and Clark

DUT a little less than 500 years
ID later, when the Lewis and
Clark expedition came up the Mis-
souri,, it encountered the pomadic
tribes which later made the wild
west famous.
The question is: What became of
the villages that Coronado had
seen? Horses were unknown among
the people whom Coronado met.
The Indians encountered by Lewis
and Clark were expert riders, who
possessed large herds of horses.
DR.. William D. Strong, Smithson-
ian archeologist, is going to try to
find the answer to the question this
summer by excavating the sites of
the early villages. He plans to begin
his work with an airplane survey
which will map the sites.
The sites are situated Strikingly
on bluffs along the upper Missouri.
They are we'll preserved and sharply
marked out by the earthworkS
which surround them.
DR.. Strong says that some Of the
sites appear to have been abandoned
since prehistoric days. Others APP
parently have been inhabited by diff
ferent tribes at different times.
Pottery found at some of the pre-
historic sites bears q striking re-
semblance to pottery Of the pre-
historic Pawnee culture in Ne
braska.
DR.. Strong plans to concentrate
his work on a large double village
site above Mobridge, S. D. At the
time Lewis and Clark visited the re-
gion, this site was inhabited by the
Arikara Indians.
These Indians lived there until
1882, when they abandoned the site
after a bombardment by United
States troops.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-07-15
Cultural Record

DY excavating this site, DR..
ID Strong expects to uncover the
older culture under the remains Of
the Arikara culture.
In this way, he will get a con-
tinuous record from one culture to
the other.
The Arikara Indians, according
to DR.. Strong, are the northernmoSt
extension of a people found far to
the south, the Caddoan-speaking
people.
It is possible, he says, that they
may have brought a prehistoric
culture into the northern plains
from the south.
DR.. Srong recently completed a
rapid survey in central Nebraska.
He visited number of sites along
the Republican and Dismal rivers
Three sites were located near the
forks of the Dismal river. Pottery
was found in them.
Near SCOTS Bluff, Neb., DR.. Strong
found a stratified site on q high
mesa. A trench was cut through the
center Of the site to reveal the
strata or layers and three layers Of
habitation were found.
The top layer, which occupied two
feet, contained fragments Of pottery
identical with that of the prehistoric
Pawnee tribes.
In addition there were small,
notched, triangular arrow points,
diamond-shaped and beveled knives,
and other tools and weapons sug-
costing settled culture.
The second layer was somewhat
similar, but the third layer was that
of a very ancient culture. II con-
tanned no pottery.
DR.. Strong hopes to carry on more
extensive excavations Of this site be-
fore the end Of the summer.

Such notions serve well enough
for ballad poetry and make at times
good third-act climaXes, but all

think otherwise. I have fear that
the Irish sage has not quite escaped
from his CalVinistic grading and
that he would see the world in the

It is a harsh doctrine which he

GERMAN DRIVE BEGINS
July Is

ON July Is, 1918, Germany threw
~ her last ounce of strength in
another great offensive on the
western front.
The attack, conferred against
French and American troops, be-
gan with great fury on a front of
more than sixty-five miles from
Chateau Thierry to Rheims.
German official bulletins claimed
complete victory in the first day Of
the great drive. They claimed
10000 prisoners and vast stores had
been captured.
French advices admitted that their
troops lad been pushed back as
much as three miles, but claimed
that all important points were be-
ing held and that troops available
we're amply capable Of handling the
situation.
An entire American division was
rushed into a counter attack and
succeeded in retaking part Of the
ground lost earlier in the day.
