NNE of every twenty-six white
" persons in the United States
lives to be more than 80 years old!
This interesting fact has been
brought out by DR.. Raymond Pearl,
who recently finished an analysis
of the diseases and causes of death
of the aged.
Strangely enough, your chances
of living to be 80 are better if you
are a woman. For women, nearly
one in twenty lives to be 60 The
percentage for men is lower.
The usual cause of death for per-
sons over 90 is senility, which
merely means the person grew old
and died.
Actually, of course, even though
a person may wear out at the age
of 80, it is probably some special
organ among the important parts
of the body that breaks down and
is the primary cause of death.

You can 60 to the books of most

and find that it's operating expenses
are down by 80 or 40 per cent.
Better still, you find that those

When you go to the public books,
you find a very different condition
prevailing. You find some of the
postoffice clerks overworked be-

filled, but you find the boys at the
mahogany desks drawing the same

Enlist in Common Cause

LllliSl III OUlIllllUll cause
TINE Lindbergh case struck two
Il distinct responses in the public
mind. In addition to creating fear,
it reused national and, indeed, in
ternational sympathy. Possibly
there can be a crumb of comfort in
the proof that we need not be for
ever ruggedly individualistic to the
point of insulation against the SUI
fering of others.
But do not regret the fact that
large element of the dramatic Is
needed TO capture the universal i'm
agination. 1t seems easier for us
to heed the agony of one or two
than that of millions.
If a survey showed that in some
single city thousands of boys and
girls were suffering from malnutri-
ton, we would be sorry, but tho
forces of county, state, and nation
would move less rapidly to save and
solve the situation.
The remedies for ills which affiict
us are generally not dramatic. We
will have in many papers letters ad-
vising the organization of vigilance
committees, and citizens will be
urged to take the law into their own
hands. In other words, to cure law
leSsness we will be asked to embark
on more laWlessness.
1t has been said that plays and
pictures and stories about the UNDER
world have tended to make a hero
of the gangster and to encourage
him in the pursuit of his profession.
Yet there never was a talkie which
fiattered the ego of the racketeer as
does the panic cry of The gunner
have us licked!"

This Is a Bad Time to Shout
That Ldlv Has Broken DoUe
Utterly and That No Child

TT is reasonable, and more than
Il that, for America to be excited
and concerned by the problem OF
crime. of gangs and racketeers. But
no crisis in any country ever was
solved by the simple process of run
ming around in short circles and
screaming, Isn't this awful"
So great is the public panic thai
the most palpable kind of quack
remedies are being freely offered
and in some quarters accepted
eagerly. In the first place. there is
great careleSsneSs about the facts.
At the moment this is written no
certain explanation of the Lind
bergh case has been reached.
The dramatic nature of the kid
mapping has dwarfed all other news
and warped the national perspective.
No matter what the solution, it will
not be wise to generaIize too much
upon single incident. however
great its emotional appeal.

Waiting for the Facts

1T still is less wise to theorize and
L even build legislation upon a
happening still shrouded in the
dark. But whatever the eventual
evidence, it will be best to have our
decisions rest upon the mass of facts
and not upon a single set of circum-
stances.
Fear has been looSed, and that in
itself probably is the most tragic
consequence of the deed in Hopewell
To the real and acute anguish OF
one family is added the dread of
millions. No child from now on will
return from school five minutes late
without causing his parents fearful
forebodings. Nothing which has
happened within my lifetime is more
calculated to cause nation wide
anxiety and suffering.
Accordingly, I think it is a singu-
larly bad time for writer's and speak
ers to shout that law has broken
down utterly and that no American
child is safe. This is an exaggerated
conception.

fare have been responsible for
great increase in the kidnapping of
adults during the last two or three
years, but the selling of small chill
dren still is of rare occurrence. The
fact that it always receives such a
large amount of newspaper space is
testimony to its rarity.
Naturally, it is the wish of every
one of us that it should become not
only rare, but impossible. Yet it
would be much better not to add
phantom fear to the equipment of
parents. Congestion, unemployment.
sickness, and the reckless driver
give every father and mother
enough to worry about as things
are. These are by all odds the more
likely menaceS.

Throwing Away Business

II there are any high tariff defenders left-outside
the Republican old guard-they would better get busy
For the country is becoming pretty completely dsilu-
stoned about that mllion-dollar Hawley -Smoot mon
strosity which touted to restore prosperity in
sixty days" and instead doubled depression and I'M
employment.
The latest group to take a crack at trade killing
tariffs is the American Committee on International
Settlements of the International Chamber of Com
merce This committee is headed by none other than
President Hoovers friend Silas H Strawn of Chicago
After pointing out, somewhat plaintively that
numerous world economic and international Chamber
of Commerce congresses since 1927 have called for
liberation of trade from destructive high tariffs the
StraWn committee complains that:
Despite these solemn declarations and warnings
nearly every country in the world proceeded to i'm
pose additional restrictions upon international COM
merce In fact since 1927, we have gone through an
unprecedented period of increasingly aggressive and
retaatory tariffs and other restrictions upon trade
So the committee recommends consideration of
a change in national policies throughout the world
respecting tariffs and other restrictions on trade"
The United States government would not have
started this latest suicidal tariff war if more of e
big bankers and ndustriaistS on this committee had
fought openly and vigorously against the Hawev-
Smoot bill when the administration was forcing it on
the country
This committee of Sixty-seven includes the biggest
names among the Republican and Democratic party
campaign contributors. Are they ready, in addition
to passing general resolutions to work for specific and
immediate reduction of the American tariff wall to
hasten business revival?
American export trade now compared with a ten
year average is running at an annual loss of two
and half billion dollars. Two and half billion
dollars worth of business would be very welcome to

Further proof that the Philippines rapidly are

Arizona women are fighting for a bill providing
for easier divorce. What they really want is easier
alimony.
Since the depression, America has become a
land of law and no orders.

Rank inconsistency

TINE government is in a hole be-
Il cause it could get away with
things the rest of us couldn't. Now
it wants us to pay off its deficit over
night because it has the power to
make us.
At the same time, it wants all
the banks to be liberal with credit
and all the mortgage companies to
be lenient with extensions.

The Last Straw
TAXPAYERS strikes are becon

TAXPAYERS' strikes are becom-
ingA%angerously common, not
so much from spirit of unrea-
soned discomfort as from necessity.
Down where people live, and
where a third, or a fourth of them
are out of work, the margin of
safety has grown pitifully thin. 1t
often occurs, that a ten-dollar bill
represents the difference between
failure and the ability to hang on.
Any kind of pressure, no matter
how slight, should be avoided, if
possible.

NTITHIN the last few days a.
w newspaper editorial gravely
considered the advantages of Amer
ica's turning to form of Dictator
ship such as that administered by
Mussolini in Italy. It seems to me
that it would be utter folly to scrap
democracy until such time as we
have made up our minds to try it.
Many of the very people who now
are wringing their hands in despair
never have lifted finger to fight
municipal corruption and the very
things out of which racketeering
grows. To the man or woman who
says, "but what can 1 do?" there is a
very simple answer.
1t consists of the undramatic adj
vice, Take an intelligent interest in
the affairs of our city, state, and ma
ton and then go out and vote ac-
cordingly."
If We have battle on our hands.
let's fight it with ballots, rather than
bullets.

Times Readers Voice Their Views

Used my bonus to pay debts. Never
have owned a car or radio.
Now here is the problem. Fiji
teen years ago the government
called for men to protect the peace
of America, and we answered the
call, Fine and dandy. Today we
people call on that government to
help and protect us from starva-
ton and what do we get? A lot
of promises.
My family is tired Of eating soup
and more soup. I am tired of
working two days for a measly bas-
ket of groceries, and of having
nothing to wear but castoff cloth
ing. You people who read this do
not know how heart rending it is
to hear your children cry on &C
count of the watered soup they
have been eating for months. 1t
is about time something is done.
When we say anything up at the
trustees Office, they call the police,
saying that there are reds plotting
trouble. Where do they get it,
when we poor devils are Shaving
two days for a basket of groceries
we could duplicate anywhere for
$3.50 if we had the money to buy
with?
We have stood it as long as we
can. If not for any one else but
our poor children, Mr.. Editor, won't
you champion our cause? God
bless you for all the good you have
been doing for us in your paper.
It is our opinion that the trus-
tees Office, the Community Chest
and this made work" affair is a
lot of political graft. What has
become of the money from benefit
shows, dances and polo games?
Imagine money going to the Y.

the Community Chest. Try to get
something there for nothing.
DOWN AND ALMOST OUT.
Editor Times-It will not be dis
puted by those people informed on
the subject that there is more abb
ject poverty in the United States
than in any other nation on earth
except China and India. The num-
Der of Americans who know this
likely is not more than 20 per cent,
but it now must be increasing rap
idly.
Such condition in a country with
remarkable natural resources could
be brought about only by political
and economic injustice and a gen.
eral disregard Of the principles Of
human decency. Gradual recogni-
ton of these facts, together with
the growing collapse Of our cap
itaIstic system, no doubt will pre-
vent the accumulation Of huge for
tunes in the future.
People now can not believe the
Hoover prosperity ballyhoo of 1923
any more than they believed the
rugged individualism" Of 1881. But
there is need to wreck some of these
present big fortunes to alleviate hui
man misery if for no other reason.
Millions usually are wreSted from
the helpless public. Rockefeller.
Mellon, Ford, Morgan, insult, and
others are old men. Doubling and
trebling the federal inheritance and
gift taxes now, instead of a few
years later, might add billion
dollars to federal income. o S.
