The Women Score

The men who wrote the Democratic platform in

it down, they forgot to mention important group,
the children. Had the omission concerned only a

have mattered.

Democrats do for children, particularly the
handicapped and the poor. This is to save from

Roosevelt

This newspapers opinion Of Franklin d.
Roosevelt as public official has been stated
frequently. He now is the Democratic nom
inee.
Our opinion stands. Yet we hope with
the utmost sincerity that the future conduct
of Mr. Roosevelt himself, as Governor and
as presidential candidate, will give US cause
to revise that opinion. That depends on Mr..
Roosevelt.
His greatest asset as the presidential
campaign begins, is the platform his party
has given him. 1t has lifted the nation with
a new hope. Unlike the evasive Republican
platform it is forward-looking, clear, and
fortnight
These qualities, so mportant-though so
rare in normal times, and so desperately
needed in these times-are essential, not
only in platform but in candidate, if our
country is to be led forth from it's season
of distress.
1t is therefore our earnest prayer that
Franklin d. Roosevelt may rise to the crisis
into which he, as nominee of his party,
enters.

In some go to 70 per cent of all

Drastic cathartics never should
be taken except under medical adj

related to dietary indiscretions or

SCIENCE
Child Life FlolCs on Much
as 1t Did T1oenty Centuries
Ago IN Greece.
BY DAVID DIETZ.

CRADLES in ancient Greece, 1000
~ years ago, were made to rock
with an end-to-end motion-like
that of rocking chair-instead Of
the modern side-to-Side motion.
That is the chief difference in the
institutions of child life in 1000
years, according to Anita E. Klein,
professor of Greek and Latin in
Penn college.
She is lecturing this summer at
Columbia university on Child Life
in Greek Art" She also is the author
of book by the same title Just pub
lished by the Columbia university
Press.
The only other difference of i'm
portance she finds is that in the old
days, mothers spanked their chill
dren with a sandal instead of a bed
room slipper.
But while the auto, the radio. the
alrplane and the machine have been
making over the institutions of adult
lie, child-life flows on much as it
did 1000 years ago.
high chairs, rattleS, dolls. doll fur /.
nlture, gocartS, wheelbarroWs. ball
games and dancing lessons were all
familiar in child life in ancient
Greece, she says. b

sion from study of Greek statutes "

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

a STUDENT OF educational trends n Buchholz
has hurled devastating broadside at certain
leaders OF the National Education Association in the
CuIIenC american Mercury. He charges them with
using tls huge organization for sectarian propaganda
ana With using strong-arn methods to intimidate
teachers.
1t is the sort of thing that should be read care
1uy by friends of the N E. A So rked is the author
that ne asks a congressional Investigation of the
order which today almost controls the public schools
NO one Should be surprised that few men have
succeeded IN frightening some millions of school
teacherS IN the present situation this is easy to do
ana IL 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 concerned honestly
with progress of education.
All womens inhibitons bid them keep silent when
men declaim their theories

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.
It 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.
1--WE are driven to the conclusion I,
that children were not always urged
to treat their pets with kindness, E.
and the artist himself did not hesi-
tate to portray what seems to us a
bit of unnecessary cruelty" Profess
sor Klein says.

Do 1t Now

A Ill save a few fanatics realize
L n 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 Che November
returns. Both the great parties are
on record, even if one straddIed. 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 a
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.

Coercion Has Failed

OUCH action would not interfere
~ with the rights and wishes Of
dry states, while it would recog-
nize those of wet states.
Let us not be liars and hypo-
critics any longer. Let us admit
that we have been trying to coerce
wet states and that we have failed.
If notification, open, known and
winked at by the authorities, is to
be taken as an index, most of the
states are wet.
The places are few and far be-
tween in this country where people
can't slake a thirst, even for strong
er stuff than beer.
The situation would be a joke if it
were not undermining respect for
law sud honesty in government.
That is really what scared us.

Says

Congress Can and Should In
medidtely Legulize Beer;
the People Want 1t Done.
NEW YORK, July 2.-There is
1 no need of waiting for repeal
of the eighteenth amendment to get
some measure or relief from the
tragic effects of national prohibi-
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.
