Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

WE all like to pass the buck about crime We
w say it is due to too many laws to prohibition;
to negligent parents to loss Of religious faith We
can give a hundred reasons why America stands be-
fore the world today with the greatest crime record
of all time
But we need not think we can lower this record
until respectable people ponder upon their contribu-
ton to this disgrace.
The most insidious yet effective means for pro-
form and uplift and town boosting organizations
man joins his Chamber OF Commerce or some
luncheon club and, although he may disbeieve en-
trey in what it does, he back its promotion schemes
because he thinks that will help his business
woman joins an organization for social recogni-
ton She does not ask what it stands for or does.
GO today the sorry spectacle Of thousands Of
~ women who believe sincerely in world peace and
better International relations trekkng along with the
militant ladies' We see members Of the Parent
Association and of the Federated Clubs who realize
and admit that prohibition will not work, who person.
ally in favor of change, and who even take
drinks themselves meeting yearly to pass their sweet
inane resolutions that favor continuance Of our
shameless failure.
We hordes Of men joining lodges to enhance
their business prestige and putting their upon
church books for the same reason.
Everywhere the decent element prostitutes its con-
victons. temporiEes with ngoism bgotry and actual
dishonesty to get few more dollars 1t is easy to see
where this kind of thing, If practced long enough
will lead.
With hypocrisy enthroned among the respectable
how can we avoid breeding racketeers? We have
lost sense of personal integrity We are too cow
ardly to stand up for honest opinions. We have
truckled to humbuggery and Ne are paying for it.

Watson Revealed

Senator James Watson has been renominated-and
unmarked.
Out Of the Republican convention comes clearer
picture than has been had before. Even his critics
believed that there would be limits to his seshness
There appears to be none.
For years Bert Thurman has devoted much time
and energy to the political services OF watson giving
an unquestoned fidelity and accepting in return only
criticism from the public
1t was for Watson that Thurman had much to
do with the repeal Of the primary law in the state,
very much desired by Watson after his previous ex-
periences as a candidate.
Ordinary gratitude would have dictated some show
of friendliness when Thurman announced his own
candidacy especially in view Of the generally accepted
valuation Of Humans qualifications for the position
Those who knew him did not hesitate to say that he
would make good Governor if he should be nomi-
mated and elected. None questioned his honesty
Nor does any one doubt that Watson dominated
the entire convention. Thurman his defeat to
Watson. word would have saved him. but the word
was against and not for his friend and former
lieutenant.
1t is significant that all Of the other candidates
believed that Watson was friendly to their aspira-
tons.
During his long years in public life, Watson has
from time to time discarded friends when they could
no longer be useful. His political history is marked
with signs of the double cross He has never hest
tated to sacrifice those who served him.
But Thurman was different from the others He
had been close to the throne
Some two months ago The Times printed the po-
itca rumor, news that Springer had been selected
by Senator Watson and former Governor Goodrich as
the nominee Events proved the runor to be justified
At the right moment the supporters Of Watson left
the other candidates and nominated Springer accord
ing to program and prophecy
One more man has found that Watson can not be
trusted in a crisis. Perhaps the people should be
warned in November on the fate of Thurman.

Need Bigger Market

THUS far, the depression has
Il been dealt with largely from
a bankers standpoint. Bankers
don't make work; they help other
people to make it. Why Should
other people make it for the mere
privilege of paying bankers in
terest?
What we have needed ever since
the crash of 1929 is a bigger mar
ket, both at home and abroad. but
that is the one thing we have done
little to develop.
IL goes without saying, as Presi-
cent Hoover has pointed out. that
the government can not make peo-
PIE buy autos, radio sets. or even
the necessities of life. What the
government might have done. how
ever, is to provide more work for
Chem on its own account, and help
clues, towns and states to provide
work by loaning them money under
a carefully worked out program
such as former Governor Al Smith
suggested.
Also, the government might have
stimulated foreign trade by ADOPT
ing a sensible policy toward Russia.

with some other countries, and.
above all else, by using its influence

The Power of False Beliefs

1t would seem that if we ever faced fact in
stead of theory such is the case with the current
depression Yet we have depression primarily be-
cause of false economic and social theories This is
demonstrated admirably by Professor Howard Pratt
Fairchild in an article in Harpers magazine.
Mems actions are governed, ultimately, by their
beliefs A completely false belief. once estab-
ished in the mind, is just as powerful spring of
action as one based upon eternal verify.
Beliefs held in common with large number Of
individuals become social forces in the strctest sense
They govern social action, determine social forms and
institutions and direct the course Of social change
DR.. Fairchid examines number OF false beliefs
which have helped on the depression, extended it u-
necessarily or both. Most fundamental are the
laissez-faire and competitive illusion that what is
good for the individual necessarily is good for the
group-"that line Of conduct which will promote
personal welfare also will promote social welfare"
This is as dangerous and falacous in the eco
nomic and social realm it is in clearing theater
during fire. In the latter case it is to the imme
date interest of the individual to to the nearest
exit. If he does So however and all others do like
wise there is panic, exits are blocked and hundreds
die from suffocaton, smoke and fire. Our antique
economic individualsm has produced comparable
calamity in the world today.
Take unemployment. The old indvidualistic eco
Monies held that the chief lay in the fact that
most unemployed persons were sick or buns. Respon-
sibity was personal and not social.
But calm statistical analysis shows that such in
efficient persons make up only small portion Of the
unemployed. Far more out of work and due to
seasonal industry chronological advances, cycles of
business and the lke-al strictly social causes which
the individual not control unaded.
Conventional remedies for unemployment are
equally shortsighted Let the sick get well and the
buns cease their shiftlessness. If they did, they
would constitute only much more effective COM
petition with the well and ambitious persons out Of
work
Let persons learn two trades, that they dove
tai them and adjust themselves to seasonal changes

In PASADENA

TINE largest refractors in exist
l. ence are also the work Of the
Warner e. Swasey Co. They are
the 40-inch refractor at the Yerkes
observatory near Chicago, and the
36-inch refractor at the Lick OBJ
servatory on Mt Hamilton in Cali
fornia.
Attempts have been made to build
larger refractors than the 40-inch,
but they always have failed.
At present the world of astronomy
is looking forward to the day when
the 200-inch telescope Of the Cali
fornia Institute Of Technology win
be completed.
This telescope, made possible by
generosity of the International
education board, a Rockefeller foun-
dalton, will be twice the size Of ths
100-inch, now the worlds largest
telescope, and about ten times IS
powerful.
An observatory council" headed
by DR.. George Ellery Hale, honorary
director of Mr.. Wilson observatory,
has charge Of plans, for the big
telescope. The council includes
members of the California institute
faculty as well as astronomers from
Mt. Wilson.
It is planned to locate the tele-
scope on a mountain near Mt. Will
son. The new big telescope Is not
to supplant the Mt. Wilson tele-
scope, but to supplement It, making
it possible for researches to be car
ried on jointly by the institute and
the Mt. Wilson astronomers on a
hitherto impossible scale.

Peoples Voice

Editor Times-The much-needed
extra session of the legislature at
last has been called and the legis-
lators will wish to reduce the cost
OF government and to realize that
desire, superf1uous offices and
boards should and must be elin1i-
mated, thereby reducing the ex-
penses of government.
What wonderful opportunity
they will have to correct a fatal
mistake heretofore made by them
in establishing four municipal courts
OF Marion county, of which the
supreme court of Indiana has de-
clared is a n1isnomer and never
should have been given that title.
The law establishing these courts
took away from the people their
rights of selecting the judges of
said courts and vested that author
ity in the Governor of the state and
we here in Marion county have a
glaring example of his poor iudg-
ment in the appointment of Clifton
R. Cameron as judge of the NUM-
cipal court of Marion county, room
No. 8.
Here is a man who never has
owned nor driven an automobile in
his life, yet he gloats and glories
over the wide publicity of trying and
convicting 200 cases Of traffic vio-
lators without an acquittal and
without giving defendants the right
Of a continuance to prepare for a
trial and offering any legitimate
defense they might have.
Yet Judge Cameron tells the press
why on June 4 when he was hav-
ing field day in the conviction of
those accused of traffic law viola
tons, the case Of Emmanuel Green
span was called, and he pushed the
affidavit back and did not try him,
although Emmanuel Greenspan
came forward to be tried.
We have no need Of four NUM-
cipal courts in Marion county. Two
would be ample and thus save the
taxpayers of Marion county at least
$4,000 a year. The time is oppor-
tune to prepare a bill to be pre-
sented at the special session Of the
legislature abolishing the municipal
courts Of Marion county and Great
ing in their place city court with
two judges to try civil and minor
criminal cases, said judges to be
elected by the votes of the citizens
and not appointed by a Governor
to further his political aggrandize-
ment.

The Bonus March

State, city, county and railroad officials who en-
courage the So-called bonus march on Washington
are acting contrary to the interests not only of their
communities, but in even larger degree to the in
terests Of the soldiers themselves.
The unemployed ex-Soldier who believes that ar
rival in the nations capital will improve his condition
only is deluding himself Washngtons relief funds
already are exhausted. The concentration there of
more thousands of unemployed, whether they be ex-
soldiers or not, simply means that washington will
become the worst of all places for the man out of
job.
Officials who are passing on" their unemployed
to MISUNDERSTANDING giving them the facts of what
they will find there-are Sinking their responsibility
1t is the duty of every officer both public and of
the veterans organizations to do everything in his
power through use Of reason and argument to stop
this movement, the result of which can be only to
multiply human misery.
The opportunity for local veterans leaders to per-
form public service and service to ex-soldiers is
especially great.

likely as the seethe and stew os

The greatest threat to peace right
now does not emanate from the
milltarists of any land, but from
the bewilderment, discomfort, and
suffering which beset the people of
every land. The task which civili-
cation faces is to see that millions
OF stomachs are filled, not in bread
lines, or from soup kitchens. but as
honest pay for honest work.
A large share of this task devolves
on the government of the United
States, by virtue of its wealth, re-
sources, and man power.

individual on the ground that the
alleged rascal is ambitious to be
nominated for President.
Some few have argued that F. D.
and T. R. had nothing in common,
but a surname. That is less than
accurate. The colonel had the ca
pacity of working himself up to a
pitch where he sincerely could be-
lieve that every person not on his
side must be either corrupt or half
witted, or probably both.
And in his anxiety for the nomi-
nation, Franklin Roosevelt has
thrown every other human value
and issue to the winds. He won't

tragedy is that, when he does he
will be even worse off.

Giant Telescope Soon to Be
Ready for Use of Astrou-
omers. :
THE work Of silvering the ss-inch
l. mirror for the rejecting tele-
scope of the Perkins observatory
has been completed, according TO an
announcement from DR.. Harlan P.
Stetson, director of the observ-
atory.
This means that the telescope will
be put in operation within a few
weeks.
The telescope will be the third
largest in the world. The Perkins
observatory is at Ohio Wesleyan
university, Delaware, o.
Work upon the telescope and the
dome which houses it was started
nine years ago. in May, 1923.
The telescope, that is the tube,
mounting, driving clock, etc, was
built by the Warner g. Swasey co.
of Cleveland, famous the world over
as builders of large telescopes. The
glass disk for the mirror, which
weighs $500 pounds, was cast by the
United States bureau Of standards.
Five attempts we're made to pour
the huge glass disk. The final mold,
which was found satisfactory, was
opened Jan. 81, 1928.
A year later, the J. w. Fecker
Co. of Pittsburgh began the task of
grinding the concave surface upon
the glass disk. This work Of grind
ing and polishing the disk required
almost three years.
Accuracy beyond the dream of
the laynan is required both in the
surface of the mirror and in the
telescope mounting. 1t is this &C
curacy, combined with the size of
the telescope, which results in its
power.

Large Telescopes

VXTHEN the -nine-inch tele-
w scope at the Perkins OBJ
servatory goes into operation, it
will mean that the central section
of the United States has one of the
big ref1ectors.
At the present time, the worlds
largest telescopes are all on the
Pacific coast. The largest in
existence is the 100-inch reflector
at Mt. Wilson, near Pasadena, Cal.
The second largest is the seventy
two-inch reflector at the Dominion
Astrophysical observatory, at Vic
toria, B. c.
The 100-inch reflector was built
in the machine shops of the Mt.
Wilson observatory. The seventy
two-inch. however, was built by
Warner & Swasey, builders Of the
sixty nine-inch for Perkins OBJ
servatory.
The sixty-inch reflector at Mt.
Wilson usually is spoken of as the
third largest telescope in the world,
although Harvard college observa-
tory has a telescope of about the
same size.
Other famous telescopes are not
rsfectors, but refractors. The re-
tractor is the more familiar type of
telescope, having small eyepiece
at one end and a large lens at the
other.
The reflector is built upon diff
ferent principle, using a large con-
cave mirror at the bottom Of the
tube in place Of the large lens of
the refractor.
The reflector was invented by Sir
Isaac Newton because of certain
difficulties in the refractor. AL
though these difficulties later were
overcome, it became evident that it
was easier to build larger refiectors
than large refractors.

IN Albany Franklin Roosevelt has
Il not been precisely a pitiful fig
ure, because the Democratic orga-
nization in the state is fortnight,
if nothing else, and the matter Of
making up the Governors mind
often has entailed nothing more
than a place, because of it's myri-
ads of meddlers. Once pinioned in
that post, a President gets so much
advice that there is never clear
way out. Even perfect strangers
will insist upon rushing in to tell
him what he ought to do.
Franklin Roosevelt has had some
little practice, it is true, in tight
rope walking, but never has he
been called upon to cross the chasm
of Niagara on a wire. It makes a
lot of difference when there is so
far to fall after one false step.
The genial quality which once
characterized the Governor already
has been worn away completely by
the stress of the pre-convention
campaign. Already the candidate
has begun to take refuge in the

MYTH the best of intentions,

methods Of relef-charity and

aged to do so by no single influence
so forcefully as that of the Hoover
administration.
Charity is a wonderful thing. ex-

who are Inundated by it, and who
often lose hope and self-respect
when compelled to accept it. Better
that the nation strain it's every re-
