Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

COMEBODY by the probably fictitious name of
- Sydney Cleveland discusses in the current
Harpers the mistake of motherhood After twenty
years OF married life and with three children to her
creoC, she announces frankly that if she had it to
DO over again she would have none
She is bitterly disappointed in her Oldest Girl of
~ Her husband too is not the paragon of virtue
and charm she once thought him to be- According
10 ner TALE she only cngs fast to the stable virtues
She only in the family possesses the "far-fiung
VISION she is dlSiluSioned and thinks it not worth
"nle 10 bear children in my own image to be bound
and disciplined and bowed to the yoke of this prison
we call life children who in turn will bear more
slaves in their own image"
To none of this shall we shout "bravo" IT is a
vail as old Job.
A GOOD many of us, it appears, believe that when
we die all wisdom will die with US This is
especially true of those who are old enough to have
grown children. Although added years should bring
UNDERSTANDING parents prone to this form of
complaining.
Yet by what right does a woman of 40 Judge a
girl OF 20 even though the girl be her own flesh
ana olooo? BY the wcmans story, she admits great
mental changes within herself during the two score
years OF later life Can she not that her daugh-
ter also may change, and perhaps for the better?
Why, too are we fearful for ourselves and our
small happiness? Why so afraid for our precious
skins and our precious feelings? We want security
ana safety ana only security and safety as we con-
ceive them to be-
The only virtues are our virtues; the only true
vision our vision and the only sins the deeds we
abhor.
Life is not prison, save for those who make it So
And to give life is to give the greatest of all gifts
1t Is our only way Of being Qpe with God.

Mellon in London


The announcement that the President is going to
ransfer Andrew Mellon from the treasury depart
ment to the court of st. James has surprised the
country Some people think that the cabinet will have
a hard time getting along without Mr., Mellon.
Others point out that the secretary Of the treasury
FAR outranks the ambassador to Great Britain, which
iuggests that Mr. Mellon is being offered demoton
But the case of Mr.. Mellon is not so simple.
He has not been very active as secretary OF the
reasury during the last two years. Undersecretary
fills recently has done most of the work. Whether
hat hassbeen because of Mr.. Melons advancing age,
or because of his inability to meet conditions so diff
erent from the Coolidge-Melon speculative era, or
because of a difference of opinion between him and
the President, we do not know
AT any rate, his departure from the cabinet now
will mean much less than it would have two or three
years ago.
AS for the treasury post outranking the amoasSa-
dorship, the job of our new envoy to London can be
as big as he makes it. Apart from general issues pend
ing such as armament competition and the serious
strain on the entire world peace machinery, there is
the specific foreign debt problem. Before next sum-
mer there must be negotiations on the expiring
Hoover moratorium.
We would not pick Mr.. Mellon for the key London
post But after all, an ambassador is spokesman
for the President carrying out the Presidents poll
cies So If the President wants Mr. Mellon in London
he should have him there.

The Anti-Hoarding Camnaion

President Hoover's appeal to the country to ston
boarding money is timely.
boarding is not the whole problem of the denres-
Slon' by any means 1t does not apply to the unem-
poyed who have no funds But it does apply to those
who have money, and who have been frightened nv
the bank failures.
That boarded total represents stupendous sim
Some estimates place it in excess of one billion dol
lars Business can not get on its feet again until that
money Is put back into circulation
Money hidden under carpets and drawers in cbintv
OF walls and stuffed into socks is not working
Inc President does not propose that these hoarders
put their money into unsafe banks or into snecu1s
tive stocks He merely asks that it be put into safe
banks and sound investments. That is reasonable
There are plenty of safe banks and sound investments
Every one will benefit if boarding is stopped. II
Will help the credit flow. Banks can not lend monev
Tor sound business revival if that money is being
Withdrawn for boarding purposes The strongest banks

so DONG he will be getting interest and at the same
Time the country will be getting the benefit of his
money in circulation, for the law REQUIRES that the
postal banks lend most of such funds to the banks in
the same community.
prosperity requires credit and boarding kills credit

Regulation by Silence

Citizens who expected to see their water and
electric light bills reduced after the secret conference
between member Of the public service commission
and city officials have thus far been disappointed
While the commission voted for a reduction of
ates in the city of Marion to the extent Of onefth,
action has been taken in indianapolis, where
rates higher and the methods of operation some
what questionable.
The burden placed upon the industries Of this city
through various devices of exacting tribute has be-
come insupportable to many of the smaller institu-
tons who find that money which should go to en-
ployes is being taken support the holding company
which the common stock Of the company.
The householders of the city find their bills steadily
increasing while the statements sent out by the Clark
interests to stockholders show increased revenues in
the face of a greatly reduced volume of general
business.
The charity funds are being called upon to pay
for those who unable pay and must nave utility
services in order to live.
The methods by which the huge profits of this
concern are hidden easily discoverabe. The one
trick of buying all coal used by the power company
in the manufacture of electricity from subsidiary of
its holding company at price far in excess of market
prices takes away thousands of dollars from Indian
apolis patrons.
The charges for engineering and financing have
run into unconscionabe sums while the admitted div
idends on common stock show upon their face
reasonable return.
The rates which were reduced in Marion were
20 per cent lower than the rates charged in Indian
apols.
Contrast the situation in this city with that of
the city of Washington, where the light company
that it voluntarily reduced it's rates and
still makes huge profit.
The new rates. voluntary rate fixed by the com
pany which understands that public service means
serving the public, call for $195 for the first klowatt
hour. The rate in Indianapolis is $780,
AS more electricity is used, the rates lowered
until Washington domestic USERS after the first 100
klowatts, are buying juice at less than is charged
in this city for power for factories
The reason, of course, is obvious The local con-
Germ is apparently we'll intrenched. Regulation by
ence and secrecy or abiect pleading has supplanted
he theory of justice.
The people pay.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-02-04

they are helpless. What are we
coming to? I ask this fair ques-
ton.
My daughter took young lady,
just recovering from a long illness,
whose mother was making 50 a day,
two days a week in laundry, to
one of the charitable institutions in
this city for help. They waited for
an hour.
The woman clerk was decked in
her paint and powder and jewelry.
When they were waited on there
was not a smile nor a kind word,
but as soon as they found out that
the mother had gotten help from
some place else six years ago, they
simply turned them down. What
help they received six years ago
does not suffice for the present.
They went from there to another
place, where they were sent, and
waited on, and about two dozen
women in all, working there, had to
get up and come out. Do we dare
call such stuff charity?
The poor, hungry people, helpless
and forSaken, need our sympathy,
kindness, and help. It will do more
to stop crime and sin than all the
laws you can make. Real charity
suffereth long and is kind.

CONSUMPTION Menaces Peace

The dangerous violence now under way in China
puts emphasis the old question of the limta-
ton of ornaments.
Japan, throwing highly trained and exceedingly
capable conscript army into the fray proves once
more that treaties to avert not of much use
as long as no limits put the size of the armies
which the sgnatory nations can maintain
Furthermore the chief villain in the piece seems to
be nscrption-compusory military service for all
young men, The device that the French invented
after the fall of the Bastie when the Ievy en- masse
appeared the only possible way of preserving the
revolution from the armies of jealous European mon
archs has got entirely out of hand For mlitarists
everywhere it provides implement which no treaty
fully can curb.
Among the chief powers of the world, only three
the United States, Great Britain and Germany-rely
on volunteer armies in time Of peace. All the rest
have CONSUMPTION laws and call to the colors each year
certain number of young men of military age.
These young men, kept in service for one two or
three years, constitute the standing army When they
retire to civil life they become the trained
huge body of skilled soldiers ready for use at any
moment, and vastly more important, in numbers and
potential effect than the standing army ITSELF
For example; Japan'S peace-tme army strength is
rated at approximately 100000 men. But to get an
army many times that large ready for instant service
Japan needs only call up her reserves The lob can
almost be done overnight
Consider the figures. A young Frenchman serves
with the colors for eighteen months-and remains in
the reserve for twentyeight years young Japanese
serves for two years, and remains in reserve for
twenty-three years young Italian serves for eight
cen months and stays in reserve for nineteen years
AS long as such systems retained armies can not
be reduced materially
There is the situation that made to order for the
mtarlst No saber-rattling government will be ready
10 HSten TO reason as long as it possesses large
trained army reserve ready for instant service
If such threats to world peace as the present tur
MOL in China to be averted there must he world
wide recognition of the fact that conservation is too
dangerous an implement to be tolerated anv longer

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE :

The use of paper handkerchiefs or
gauze which can be burned as used
helps to prevent the spread of in
lection. Of course, the mouth and
nose should be covered when sneez-
ing.
Some doubt exists as to the &C
tual value of antiseptic sprays and
gargles. Probably they kill such
germs as they reach.
The difficulty lies in the fact that
the antiseptic or gargle can not be
kept in the mouth constantly and
that new doses of germs constantly
are being received from contact
with human beings in Offices, eleva-
tors, motion picture houses, and
Similar places where many people
congregate.
The exact value of ultraviolet
in relation to colds has not been
established. There are a few ex-
periments indicating some virtue
in the ultraviolet rays, and there
are other studies indicating COM
plete lack of value.

HEALTH SERVICE
Moderation Is Best Cold Preventive

Scientific bodies, such as the
Council on Physical Therapy of
the American Medical Association,
do not permit advertisers of ultra
violet apparatus who cooperate
with them to make tne claim that
the ultraviolet is of special virtue
in the prevention of the common
cold.
Ultraviolet apparently can do no
more in the human body than cause
the production of vitamin D
through its action on ergoSterol.
There is no evidence that vita
min D is in any way specifically
related to the resistance to the
common cold. 1t is concerned with
the metalbolism or ui in the body
of calcium and of phosphorus.
The impression arose early that
ultraviolet had specific effects on
colds because vitan1in D in cod liver
oil is associated with vitamin A, and
vitan1in A is known to have such
a. relationship to resistance.

A Candidates Speech

Governor Roosevets speech on foreign affairs and
the tariff was far from satisfactory considering that
he is a presidential candidate.
About the only definite thing to be gathered from
his grange speech is that he is against American par
ticipaton in the League of Nations; on the other is
sues apparently, he is on the fence.
His reasons for opposing the league are absurd. He
saws it is not the same league he supported in 1920
but league that has grown away from the concep-
ton of its founder that has failed to preserve peace
and bring disarmament and that has become a
mere meeting place for the political discussion OF
strictly European political national difficulties
1t is of course true that the league is devoted
to strictly European matters-as witness its Asatic
and African mandates and its intervention in the far
eastern crisis.
It is true that the league has been ineffective in
settling the Manchurian quarrel and forcing dsarma-
nent-as ineffective in these matters as the United
states and American treaties.
But surely man of half Roosevelt's intelligence
eould not have expected the league to bring the mil
snnium in one short decade, at least not with the
worlds strongest nation blocking the way.
We can understand, though we can not &C
cept the argument Of the isoationst against Ameri-
an participation in the league. But Roosevelt claims
o speak as an advocate of international cooperation
We simply can not make out of what he says
His league statement however, is much less impor-
amt than the rest of Speech because the league is
not campaign issue Whether Roosevelt any other
candidate is for or against league membership there
is no likelihood of the United States entering the
league during the next administration.
Roosevelts discussion of tariffs and foreign debts
consisted of generazations Doubtless he is leaving
until later occasion outline of his detailed posi-
ton on these issues But since he avowed presi-
dental candidate soon he viii have to cast aside gen.
eralities and get specific.
Voters in the primaries, who asked to pass
upon him. will want to such questions as the
followng-to take only two subjects he discussed sc
inadequately in his grange speech:
Does he favor repeal of the Hawley- Smoot tariff
How far would he lower the tariff, If at all?
Would he transfer the flexible taria power from
