On complaint of the American Civil Liberties
Union the war department is investigating recent in

The instructions, signed by Commander Major
General Keehn and Chief of Staff Colonel Gowen-
lock. urge the guard not to temporize with "mobs"
nor permit them Ito to be victorious for a

"Oficers and men should not fear reprisal in case
one or more persons killed" reads one amazing
paragraph cited by the Civil Liberties Union THE
laws of most states and the common law in others
provide that if it is not proved that the killing was

Just Every Day Sense
IRON the viewpoint OF the woman who goes 5
BY MRS. WALTEB FERGUSON

IRON the viewpoint of the woman who goes shop
Il ping for her household needs the main thing
wrong with American business is the 1928 hangover
In some instances it is almost necessary to knock
smaller business especially, general lack of en-
thusiasm and of response to the patrons who
walks in at the door.
One hears complaints from the office about bust
ness being bad. Yet following them there comes
echoes from the housewife about how hard it to get
what she wants, and of how generally apathetic are
the efforts of those whom she seeks for purchases.
believe also that most women who have responded
to the various appeals made to them to supply odd
jobs for unemployed will testify that in many in
stances the work is woefuly sighted That at least
has been my unfortunate experience
SuppliantS have been hundred times more inter
ested in the pay than in the job Perhaps this nat
ural. But it does not foster sympathy on the part
of the one who is doing the employing.
THE truth is that we have become so used to the
there is a distinct aversion to honest labor in our
midst. 1 nthe glorious days when the stock ticker
always brought good tidng, business was humming
and ejust sat back and waited for the customers
to pour in And they did.

sort of Behemoth gorged with extra profits and divi-

There grew up then so many wild schemes for get

Old Age Pensions

The od-age pension movement finally has gained
the stamp of approval from the United States Cham
Der of Commerce
No longer will the cry be raised as was raised
by Governor Leslie when he vetoed a measure for
this purpose that is radical bolshevisc and wrong
The who now approve this system of caring
for the aged in charge of great industries and
financial institutions They have been led by the in
evitable logic of facts to the conclusion that old
age pensions are essential part of industrial
system and that the poorhouse is not only barbar-
GUS, but costly.
In this state an added argument for the law is
found in the report of Fire Marshal Hogston, who
declares that poverty In this state is met with a
harsher punishment than crime, and that the poor
houses for the most part much less comfortable
than the prisons and jas
That indictment of Indiana might be followed by
prompt action to change such conditions But the
permanent cure is the abolition of the poorhouse
and the substitution of the pension the aged and
hospitals for the sick.
The old age pension movement in this country
is sponsored by the Eagles lodge and the labor Or
CARNATIONS. The Eagles are accredited with being
the pioneers and their leaders have gathered some
seventeen pens used by Governors of states which
have passed laws providing for pensions.
The Endorsement by the Chamber of Commerce
be accredited to the fact that Otto Deluse of
this city OF the pioneers in the movement, was
member representing industry
The nnal acceptance, of course, comes from the
argument of cold hard facts that the pension system
for the aged nearly meets the modern idea, OF
humanity toward others.
The poorhouse, costly barbaric relic of the days
of Queen Elizabeth has become too costly as it has
always been too savage.
The people will do well if they ask very pointed
questions of every candidate for the legislature and
for Governor where they stand on this question
Opposition to old age pensions indicates funda-
mental lack of appreciation of human needs The
man who fights that law can be put down as unsafe
at time when it is necessary to get men into public
office who act with consideration for human
needs and who look at public problems from the view
point of the safety and comfort of the mass.

Milk for Rabies

There will be milk for the children Of this city
under school age This much is assured by the con-
ference called by Mayor Sullivan to meet the most
serious problem yet faced by this city during its dark
days
The Importance Of milk as diet for growing
children not be overemphasized says Or. Morgan
city health officer, whose years of planning have
resulted in unusually low death rates for children in
this CITY,
II it be important, it then becomes more 1mpor-
tant that false pride the part Of parents pre-
vent them from obtaining milk for the boys and
girls who will become the future citizens of this state
Denied proper diet and food the child be-
come easy prey to many diseases, may become
a public burden all through life may certainly
be robbed Of the chance of happiness 1t is only in
emergencies that public attention and interest is
aroused and the public of this city was aroused by
the facts first printed in The Times concerning this
situation.
Had there been child in some dramatic danger,
the entire population would have stopped its ordinary
work and gone to the There is no drama in
starving army of ten thousand helpless children,
but there is tragedy and when that tragedy becomes
known the public demands action
At some time milk as Al Smith once remarked,
may become a public utility and distributed under
public direction
But until that time comes citizens can guard help
less children by demanding that they be given this
food in sufficient quantities

Hand Abrasions May Prove Fatal

visible pus or abScess and there
even may be freedom from pain on
motion. However, the enlarged
glands under the arm and around
the elbow will be an indication of
the way in which the body is try
ing to get rid of serious infection.
In reviewing cases of this type,
DR.. Sumner. L. Koch points out
that the first thing to do is to get
the patient In bed and to wrap the
entire arm in warm, wet dressings.
The patient should also take into
the body as much fluid as possible
to aid in getting rid of the infec-
tiouS material.
In ordinary assesses it is Gus
tonary to open the absceSs in order
to provide drainage of the pus and
infectious material directly. This,
however, is not advisable in septic
infections of this character, because
it may open up channels and cause
rapid extension.
Unless the infection can be To-
Called, surgical drainage does not

OROHIBITIoN has won anothe

PROHIBITION has won another
L victory. A smashing victory,
one might say. But, like all the
other triumphs of Volsteadism, it
has nothing on earth to do with
enforcement.
Still, think it must be admitted
that Washington has succeeded in
scotching an infant industry. Judge
Patterson's decision that Uncle Sam
may take window curtains and
plumbing fixtures in lieu of an ex-
else tax has ruined the label in
dustry.
You may have read that recent
raids were conducted not against
Volstead violators, but on the
ground that beverages were sold
which had not paid proper tribute
to the treasury.
To be sure, the speakeasy pro-
prietor could not pay the tax. even
if that were his will and pleasure.
However, learned judges have de-
cided that this phantom offenSe can
be prosecuted under the law.
It has been my contention that
any such ridiculous reasons tend to
bring the law into contempt. But
I must admit that my respect was
Il not unadulterated in the first place.

seem to be indicated Immediately.
A wound at the surface is much
more easily comfortable than one
which involves the tendons.
When the infection involves the
tendon, there is the double danger
that it will spread along the tendon
and destroy the sheath, and thereby
cripple the patient. Infections of
the tendonS are usually treated
promptly to prevent spread.
It is because of the danger of Seri-
GUS crippling and of spread of infec-
ton to other parts of the body that
infections of the hands are given
such consideration by physicians.
The greatest Importance attaches
to the care that is taken after a
wound has been opened and
drained.
If the hand is held in a bad posi-
ton and if it is held without motion
for too long a time, adhesions de-
velop which make it impossible to
move the fingers and which there
by may seriously cripple the indi-
vidual who has been infected.

An Antidnte

From the New York d-Telegram)
AS an antidote for a great mass of the depression
and boarding talk going around we cite the response
last week of investors to New Ciys offering of
$1OOO0O0O0 of corporate stock The loan bearing an
interest rate Of per cent admittedly high for city
financing, was oversubscribed speedily
True, the Walker administration had to pay the
high interest rate penalty for its extravaganza
and wastefulness in its conduct of city affairs, and
had to pledge retrenchments before the money was
forthcoming from the banks.
But the fact remains that plenty of money came
forward. investors were satisfied that the in
vestmen looked good and the interest yield was at
tractive.
Devise means to put more of this idle money into
gainful and legitimate enterprises and in addition to
the antidote to depression talk you will have the end
OF the depression.

Paul NJ. Warburg

Paul NJ Warburg was one Of the few if not the
only prominent American banker who had the in
gence and courage to tell the truth about the stock
market debauch at the time and to predict the dire
results.
The nation needs bankers with that kind of in
telgence and courage today Therefore the death Of
Mr.. Warburg is a national loss.
It not luck or accident that set him apart in
the spring of 1929 to speak sobery while most other
bankers and business leaders were talking otherwise
He always had been the kind of man who thought
faster and clearer and acted with more courage than
the crowd
Thus he was one of the first and hardest fighters
for the banking reform which finally resulted in the
federal reserve system Though his particular plan
of reform not accepted he was chosen by Presi-
dent Wilson to help make the new system success
which he did.
Considering his long record of superior wisdom
and leadership, it seems surprising now that more
people did not listen to his warning in the spring OF
1929 1t is worth repeating here at this late day. not
only tribute to it's authors wisdom but as ftl-
ture warning to those of who would travel the get
richquick road to personal happiness and national
prosperity. He said
History has taught mankind that speculative over
expansion invariably ends in overcontraction and
distress II stock exchange debauch is arrested
quickly by prompt and determined action it is not toe
much to hope that shrinkage of inflated stock prices
yet may be brought about without seriously affecting
the wider circle of general business.
IF orgies of unrestricted speculation are permit
ted to spread too far however the ultimate collapse
is certain not only to affect the spectators them
selves but also to bring about general depression
involving the entire country"
One Of the lessons Mr. warburg wanted the
United States to learn from the speculative mania
and consequent depression the need for basic i'm
provement in our banking system. He proposed tc
strengthen the federal system and to increase
its independence.
Until that is done, and until we have reorganized
some OF our maladjusted industries such as agrcu-
ture transportation coal and textiles the nation can
not achieve financial security.

Dishonesty Condoned

TINE financial strain we have
i suffered because of the crooked
ness and carelessness which char
acterize the management of public
affairs is of less consequence than
the social strain.
Dishonesty of certain type &C
tually has come to be regarded as
legitimate.
We talk about honest graft" just
as though there could be such a
thing, just as though it were all
right for public officials to pilfer
and pecculate in particular ways,
just as though some laws could be
winked at, or violated, without
threatening the whole judicial struc-
ture.
