Congress Can and Should I'm.
mediately Legalize Beer,
Says:

Congress Can and Should I'M
mediately LegaJize Beer;
the People Want It Done.
NEW YORK. July 2.-There is
' no need Of waiting for repeal
Of the eighteenth amendment to get
some measure or relief from the
tragic effects of national prohibit
ton.
Congress can, and should immedi-
ately legalize beer, if not light wine,
in such states as are ready to permit
its manufacture and sale.
Congress should do this for the
following reasons:
First, the people want it done.
Second, it would provide the fed
eral government. with badly needed
revenue,
Third, it would make work for
thousands of idle men and women.
Fourth, it would create an addi-
tional market for farm products.
Fifth, it would remove one major
source Of political corruption.
Sixth, it would end one phase of
gang warfare and racketeering.
Seventh, it would restore to the
channels of legitimate business an
enormous amount of money which
now goes for the support of crime.

Do Il Now

a LII save a few fanatics realize
4 A that the tide has turned, that
the American people are through
with the noble experiment"
Why postpone the inevitable? An
impoverished government needs rev.
enue, overburdened taxpayers need
relief, millions of unemployed need
work, bankrupt farmers need a mar
ket, decent citizens need protection
from gang rule, and law enforce
ment needs to be freed from an
impossible task.
We might just as we'll get going
at once. There is not the slightest
excuse to wait for the November
returns. Both the great parties are
on record, even if one straddled. at
the command of it's short-sighted
bosses.
Repeal has been written into the
convictions of this country, if not
into its Constitution. That makes
modification Of the Volstead act q
logical step which congress has
ample power to take and which is
called for by the economic distress
and social chaos that now afflict us.

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WAITER FERGUSON

a STUDENT OF educational trends, H E. Buchholz
L has hurled a devastating broadside at certain
IeauefS OF the National Education Association in the
current American Mercury. He charges them with
using this huge organization for secaran propaganda
and with using strOng-arm methods to intimidate
teachers
1t is the sort Of thing that should be read care
1uly by friends Of the n E A So rked is the author
that he asks congressional investigation of the
oroer Which today almost controls the public schools
NO one should be surprised that few men have
succeeded IN frightening millions of school
teachers In the present situation this is easy to do
And 1t IS just as easy to silence the other millions of
women who make up the Parent Teacher Association
In spite of the fact that they are concerned honestly
with progress of education.
All wonens inhibitons bid them keep silent when
men declaim their theories
THERE are few experiences more disouieting than
a TO sit with group of women bent upon some
good work and watch the manner in which the two
or three inevitable men concerned in the same cause
VIII run the whole proceeding.
The ladies may mutter angrily, soto voce but
once the meeting is called to order the brothers
always put their pet schemes And rare are the
womens organizations that do not have some glori-
ned Aussolinis who dictate the policies and basS
dehghtedy in the admiration Of the uttering petit
coat brigade.
Women do not have that serene self-assurance
that enables even the stupidest man to tread the
earth as II ne were potentate And the smaller the
circle OF his authority, and the more women it
talns, the more daringly will he strut.
Centuries of subsection by men and male ideas
has bred within womens souls an unconscious timid-
ity, a fear of ridicule, and dark doubts We lack
latin IN ourselves and faith in oneself is the very
foundation of leadership

Peoples Voice

Editor Times-It seems that our
smartest men and statesmen are at
a loss to know why and why is the
cause of the depression that has
gripped the world for several years.
Some say it is prohibition, some
say the tariff. Everybody has a
remedy and it seems that none of
their remedies works.
I do not intend to give a remedy,
because I do not know of any, but
I do know that prohibition, as it
is called, has had a great deal to
do with the cause, and I do know
that this billion-dollar tariff has
done more to cause the depression
than any other thing.
The Republican party has
preached high tariff high wages,
and high products ever since I can
remember such a party, and every
body knows that it is not working
now, with the price of stock and
grain and wages as low, if not
lower, than under Cleveland and
free trade.
We must have an outlet for our
products to keep cur factories run
ming. If we can't sell, we can't keep
on producing, thereby throwing men
out Of employment. We have been
boycotted by every nation we usual
ly trade with and it is plain to be
seen that if We can't sell. we don't
get any tariff revenue.
Competition is the life of trade,
and we have killed both and lost
the confidence of the nations of the
world.
AS for prohibition, in the last
twelve years we have spent millions
of the peoples hard learned tax
money and we are no nearer to
prohibition than we were at the
beginning We have lost in taxes
S11O on every gallon sold during
these twelve years. We have spent
millions to keep up our prisons and
feed our prisoners.
We find a stream of our money
going to Canada and other coun-
tries for whiskey, wine, beer, that
never returns. Also, when We find
that rs per cent Of this booze trade
is handled by foreigners, we
shouldn't wonder at the condition
of our government.
When I read our Junior Senator
Robinson's talks on prohibition, I
sometimes wonder if he shouldn't
be better posted on this subject be-
fore the November election. The
booze seller, the racketeer, the rum
runner is voting the same way he
does, to keep in business. The
sooner the eighteenth amendment
is done away with, the quicker he
will have to quit business, and the
better of We will be.

Bronze RattIeS

.CRECIAN babies played with
~ rattles, wood or terra Gotta.
Professor Klein points out. They
not only were given to the babies
as toys, but were used by nurses
to lull the babies to sleep.
She also discovered one unique
device which was a combination
rattle and bottle. A clay pellet was
inserted inside the bottle so that
when the child finished the milk
it could use the bottle as a rattle.
Wooden horses on wheels were
among the toys discovered by Pro-
feSSor Klein. She also found many
examples of animated or mechani-
cal toys.
One toy was that of woman
kneading bread. Movable joints
made it possible for the toy to go
through the requisite motions.
Among other toys she discovered
hops, tops, jackstones, kites, see
saws, swings, and jumping ropes.
Pets were even more numerous
among the children of antiquity
than they are today and included
dogs, quail, ravens, geese, ducks,
pigs, goats, calves, deer, hare and
mice.
Apparently the modern progress
sive" school and summer camp have
nothing on ancient Greece in the
matter of nature study through
pets.
1t seems, however, as though
Greek children were not taught to
be kind to their pets. At least, they
frequently weren't. A large number
of reliefs show children holding pet
doves almost within reach of dogs.
I'VE are driven to the conclusion
that children were not always urged
to treat their pets with kindness,
and the artist himself did not hest
tate to portray what seems to us a
bit of unnecessary cruelty" Profess
sor Klein says.

Association, and of Hygeia the
Health Magazine.


IN the United States and Canada,
4 appendicitis is responsible for
some $4,000 deaths each year.
1t has been estimated that the
death rate from this disease almost
equals the combined death rates
from obstruction of the bowels,
ulcer of the stomach and intestines,
and gallstoneS.
Moreover, even though medical
science has developed suitable tech
mic for diagnosis and surgical
treatment of this condition, the
death rate continues to rise.
Studies by Investigators in many
different clinics indicate definite
reasons for the increase of deaths,
some of which are particularly i'm
portant, because a popular under
standing of these reasons certainly
would result in lowering the rate.
Practically all Investigators are
agreed that the common household
custom of giving a severe cathartic

In spite Of in part because of, high fees, little

five years ended June 80, 1929, claims amounting to
nearly s4ooOoO0OOO were wiped out in bankruptcy

to lax laws which permit continuance of the scandal

DaWsons conclusions seem warranted by the facts
he brings forward
No reasonable person can doubt that the system
OF paying public officials, directly by fees is wastefui
and demoralizng. The remedy for the fee system
ike that for any parasitic growth is complete

The public would do well to devote its energies
toward removing the fee bag beyond the hungry
reach OF ofhciadom rather than to waste time over
fees that already have been apportioned and con-
