on the problem of slum elimination for years and as
result it has plans prepared for $1oOOOO0O0 worth
of work along these lines.

for $50000000 and will start building as soon as the
money is available
New York is the only state ready to borrow money
now for Slum elimination but it is not the only one
in need of 1t. Illinois, New Jersey, Pennsylvania

-. He Stood for Soviet

TINE Fergusons have been identi-
Il fed consistently with the anti
prohibition, anti-klan, Hoover
crowd. The fact that they can hold
such a large following, in spite of
Jims impeachment and Mas de-
feat for second term, suggests
something more than personal
strength.
James E. Ferguson is the only i'm
peached Governor in the United
States who came back. The fact
that he came back by running and
electing his wife to the office from
which he was ousted does not de-
tract from the feat.
For the sixteen years since he was
impeached he has commanded the
largest personal following of any
individual in Texas, and it has stuck
with him through thick and thin.
Shrewd politician that he is, such a
thing would have been impossible
had he not stood for something in
the minds of his followers.
That something obviously was OPP
position to the political attitude
which found expression in the dry
farce, the khan farce, and the bolt to
Hoover.

Act Now, Governor

Governor Leslie has spoken. He said
little. He should now act.
The plain truth is that the Governor
needs no new laws in order to cut the cost
of state government.
He has the authority and the power to
reduce the costs of every state institution
and enterprise, except in the case Of few
salaries of elected officials.
He has control of every board in the
state. He can demand today, if he wishes,
an arbitrary cut in wages and salaries at
state institutions. This would work no hard
ship as the major portion of such employees
receive their food and shelter as we'll as
wages. They are protected.
Certainly he can recapture the per cent
of the annual wages of employees of the sta~9
highway department that was taken under
what amounted TO political blackmail.
When the highway commission author
lied demand that every employee pay per
cent of his or her wage to a collector to be
used for political purposes it really took the
money from the taxpayers.
The threat, of course, was loss of jobs.
That commission, by implication, said
that the employees are receiving 5 per cent
too much and that they could afford to pay.
That may not be true. But it is the edict
of the commission for which Leslie is fight
ing.
That money should be restored to the
state. A word from Leslie would do the
trick. He could demand that the collector
recover the money from the campaign man.
ayers, if they have received it.
In every other department, including the
vast numbers of employees of commissions,
the same hint would be sufficient.
If there is any sincerity in the attitude OF
Leslie about lower government costs, he can
set the example today. Certainly he can stop
the political blackmail that is being per-
petrated on every department of state gov
eminent by emissaries of the political party
to which he belongs.
Any state employee asked to contribute
to politics should publicly announce that his
contribution would be paid to either the gen.
eral fund or special fund for the unem-
ployed
Reducing cost of government involves
little complication. The Governor can act. But
will he act?

A commercial commissioner would be better than
nothing. But Russian recognition IS inevitable and

Just Every Day Sense
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

r AM not one who believes that the repeal of the
i eighteenth amendment is minor issue. The pro-
hbition law is fundamentally wrong, because it pre-
sumes to substitute law for morality 1t is, in its
Sence. as vicious and futile as any Of the old blue
laws of Puritan New England.
But in our concern over this it seems to me that
we should not fail to remember that there other
important problems before us. To bury our heads in
sand.
This procedure merely = uts out a vision of other
matters that fast assuming the looming proper
tons of disaster.
So when the Womens Organization for National
Prohibition Reform says that it will throw its united
support to any candidate who will stand squarely for
repeal regardless Of anything else it has arrived at
the same arid ground occupied Tor so long by the
ladies of the W. c. T. U.
And this position, though defended CALAMITY by
the women is not worth the holding.
ONE OF the most frightful conditions growing out of
~ the prohibition amendment is the fact that dur
ing the last decade in hundreds of localities respec-
table have ranged themselves alongside rogueS
and rascalS who had memorized the code of the dry
crusaders.
Other issues have been neglected or ignored viii
fully. State treasures have been looted and human
rights houted All manner of evils have been toler-
aed all sorts of sins condoned all kinds of pussy
footing praised in the sacred name of enforcement
Are we to see now these same mistakes repeated in
the name of repeal?
1t is true that something grotesque and terrible
came into being in America with the eighteenth
amendment. Hypocrisy was enthroned; duplicity
regned; graft sat in the high places and religion put
on its hair shirt again and in ancient Salem,
without kindness charity or light
Even So it is unthinkable that the women who
have rallied for repeal will permit themselves to fall
into the that caused the defeat of their
opponents.
To exchange one intolerance for another is to get
nowhere

water for considerable periods OF
time.
Just as soon as pus forms in any
considerable amount, it is necessary
to open the area and thus to permit
the puS to escape.
The physician usually will cut the
finger in such form as to save the
nail bed.
1t is harmful to remove the entire
nail plate while the pus formation
is limited Therefore, the physician
usually will bore through the nail
at the point where the pus appears,
or by means of small sharp point
ed scissors cut away merely that
portion of the nail over the infec-
ton.
After the pus is removed, the hot
lamentations, hot baths and anti
septic solutions are continued until
the infection clears up completely.
Then the finger nail will grow
again and the recovery will be COM
plete.

The Times and other papers Of the

I believe that most people think
there is an Almighty God. Now if
they do, they have to believe in the

Now my solution for good times

and confess and repent of their
sins and pray fe-vently that they
will live with His help, according
to the word of the Lord.
If that solution would be followed

my life that there would be a trans

Lord, Jesus Christ, and the will to
do it and stick to it, and it is in the

Editor Times-In these trying
times, one hears and reads much
about economy in government. The
Indiana legislature has convened
purposely to reduce expenses in
government, so that taxes in gen.
eral might be lowered.
1t is hoped that some substantial
reduction in taxes will result, but
am afraid that many of the relief
bills will be drawn so loosely that
there will be many court fights to
have the bills declared unconstitu-
tional. Furthermore, it appears
that most of the clamor is on the
subject of wage reductions, a
penny wise and pound-foolish stand
to take.
Our extravaganza in government
is not caused by the high salaries
paid employees, for I do not know
of any state employee, from Cover
nor down, who is overpaid; but I
do know that we have too many
employees, useless ones, among the
political-appointive group.
It is this surplus Of employees
that should be dispensed with, OBJ

4 ROUND the finger nails are
L n areas infected because the skin
frequently is damaged by inexpert
manicuring and by the tearing off
of hangnails.
The point at which the finger
nail comes in contact with the skin
is sensitive point, easily harmed.
The nail rests upon the nail bed
and is in contact with it, so that
tearing or pressure of the nail
away from the bed leaves points ct
which infection may enter.
Sometimes infection is caused by
splinters driven underneath the
nail, but more frequently merely by
tearing the nail away from its bed.
Once an infection has begun, it
may spread beneath the nail, pro-
ducing severe pain, swelling, and
inflammation.

True to Principles

THOUGH it might be better for
Il Texas if Mrs. Ferguson were
not elected, the state owes her and
her tWo-fisted husband a great debt.
No two people have done so much
to keep thesfres of tolerance burn
ing through this season Of Stiffness
and bigotry.
The present vindicates their per-
Sistent fight against the so-called
powers of righteousness and reform
and against that stupid frame of
mind which seeks virtue through
depression.
The flaws that can be picked with
their conduct of political affairs are
of less Importance than the service
they have rendered by staying with
certain fundamental convictions.
They have not WEIGHED to gain
favor with any crowd, or climbed
aboard any ones bandwagon for the
sake of votes.

There is constant throbbing, due
to the pressure of the blood in the
swollen area, and quite frequently
pus pours out beneath the nail.
Infections of the finger nails are
not, as a rule, serious, but they may
endanger life, due to spreading of
the infection into the hand and
into the blood generally.
One of the chief purposes of early
treatment, therefore is to prevent
spread of the infection.
Unless collection of pus or in
fected matter is visible beneath the
nail, the physician will not cut into
the tissues.
Under such circumstances, he is
more likely to treat the condition by
the application of heat.
For the purpose. he will use wet
packs of hot water or hot saturated
boric acid solution, or he may rec

The Master Key

THE spectroscope has been called
i the master key Of science" by
Professor Henry Norris RUSSELL
dean of American astronomers.
It consists of one or more prisms
equipped with suitable lenses or
small telescopes to facilitate this
formation of the rainbow" or specs
trum as the scientist calls it.
An important part of the spec
troScope is a screen, which admits
the light through a narrow slit. 1t
is the use of this slit which results
in formation of a clean-cut sharp
spectrum.
The spectroscope really owes its
beginnings to the experiments
the great Sir Isaac Newton carried
on with the prism more than 200
years ago.
But it was not until the nine
tenth century that two German
scientists, Kirchoff and Bunsen, hit
upon the idea of letting the light
into the prism through a narrow
sharp slit.
When this was done, the spectrum
or rainbow of the sun was found
to be crossed by a series of fine
black lines. Moreover, it was found
that chemical elements when heat
ed to Iuminescence gave spectra
which were combinations Of isolated
bright lines.
Finally, it was observed that these
bright lines correspondent to the
dark lines in the spectrum of the
sun.
The same thing was found to be
true of the spectra of the stars.
The great French philosopher,
AuguSte Comte, once remarked,
There are some things of which
the human race must forever re-
main in ignorance; for example, the
chemical composition of the heav-
emily bodies"
But once the principle of the
Spectroscope was understood, it was
simple matter to do Just what
Comte thought never would be done.
All that was necessary was to
compare the spectra of the sun and
stars with the spectra of the va
rious chemical elements.

Prim, a Child's Toy, Is Basis

BY DAVID DIETZ

Prlnt, q Chttd s Toy, is Basis
of Important Scientific Re-
search and Discoveries.
A CHILDS toy is the basis Of ons
n of the most important scien-
tific laboratories in the world. It is
the new spectroscopic laboratory Of
the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology.
Out of the child's toy grew the
spectroScope, the champion detective
of the universe. Every laboratory
and scientific institution employs
the Spectroscope and the Mas
sachusetts Institute of Technology,
to further the usefulness of this i'm
portant instrument, has erected an
entire laboratory designed specially
to facilitate its use.
The toy of which we speak is the
prism. Probably every reader, It
some time during his youth, pos
sesSed a little glass prism, which,
held up to the sunlight, split the
light of the sun into tiny rain
bow.
A similar glass prism is the basis
of the spectroscope, one Of the most
useful tools possessed by the
scientist.
Astronomy, geology, p h Y s,
chemistry, biology, and medicine
have all benefited by its use. In
fact, the technique of its use con-
stitutes branch of science all by it
self and the experts who practice it
are known by the rather formidable
name of spectroscopists.

serving the common sense rule of
giving preference to those having
ability and seniority over those less
competent and of fewer years of
service. Another suggestion: Why
not scan the records prior to the
World war and see what commits
sions, bureaus, boards, etc. we had
then, compared with the present
set-up, and then, by legislation,
dispense with all such extra frills
as have come into existence since
1916.
If we managed to get along and
prosper prior to 1915 without a
highway commission, public service
commission, workmen'S compensa-
ton board, and the like, surely we
should be able to get along without
them now. What the taxpayer
wants is real relief from burden
some taxation and not merely cut
in wages of employees, which
amounts to practically nothing.
OF course, no doubt, a reduction
in wages will have to be made to
pacify the Chamber of Commerce
and other cranks, so give every one

10 per cent cut. There are, how
ever, some outlandiSh compensation
propositions that need changing.
For instance, our prosecuting at
torney must spend many years and

Secret of Atoms

MOT only did the spectroscope
IN reveal the secrets of the stars.
but 1t also revealed the secret Of
the atom.
Spectroscopists soon attacked the
riddle of why each chemical ele-
ment gave the peculiar combination
of lines which it did.
Mathematical analysis was applied
easily to the spectrum of hydrogen,
the hghtest and simplest of all
chemical elements.
But once the hydrogen atom was
understood fairly well, the same
process could be applied to a GER
tain extent to the other chemical
elements.
In time, spectroscopic methods
used not Only with visible light. but
with ultraviolet light and X-rays
as well.
It was the work of Moseley, the
brilliant young British physicist who
was killed in the World war. which
led to the understanding of the way
IN which atoms were put together
out of electrons. Moseley worked
with the X-ray spectograph.
Another development of the Spec
troscope came at the hands of DR..
George Ellery Hale, now the hon.
orary director of the Mt. Wilson oh
servatory. He developed the spec
troheliograph, an apparatus which
take photograph in a single wave
length Of light.
The light of the sun first is spread
out into a spectrum and then. bv
means 70 a second slit, one band of
light Is picked out Of the spectrum
for the picture.
The result is a picture showing
the distribution of hydrogen, or CAL
cium, or some other element in the
atmosphere Of the sun, depending
upon what wave length of light is
chosen.
