FIJI MANCHU STORIES
 IN RADIO DEBUT

The Flu Manchu mystery stories by Sax Rohmer, familiar to read CTS and movie-goers throughout the world, will come to radio Mon day, September 26, from 8:45 to 9:15 D m., EST, in the first Of weekly series over WABC and the Columbia network.
 Rohmer, famous English novel; ist and creator of "Fu Manchu," will come to the United States to attend the radio premiere in Columbia's Chicago studios. Honor- ing the first author to cross the ocean for radio premiere, and to supply an added note of realism the cast will play the first episode in costume. The radio presenta- tions are under the sponsorship of the Campana Corporation.
 Fred Ibbett, formerly associated with the British Broadcasting Cor poration, has been engaged to di- rect the microphone dramas and to maintain the spirit of the au- thor's settings-Scotland Yard and London's Limehouse district.
 The dramatic series will follow faithfully the original Rohmer plots and characters. including "Fu Manchu," whom Rohmer pie tured as "The Yellow Peril incar- nate, in one man." Likewise, Midland Smith, special investigator for the crown; his friend and as- sistant, Dr Petrie, and Karameneh, the beautiful slave girl, will be presented in the true Rohmer vein. Each episode will be a complete drama.
 Mysterious murders-with the victim in each case an author at work on a book concerning Oriental plotting-form the background of the series. Smith and Dr Petrie

Every Lot q Garden

Food is a most significant topic Of conversation IN
very many families in this and other industrial cities
It will be an imperative one next winter.
Too many thousands Of men and women who or
dnary get their food in return for labor in factories
stores and in transportation are unable to purchase
it, The lack of jobs prevents that.
The constantly increasing bill OF township trustees
for food that is distributed to those who have no
work suggests that the time may come when that
source Of supply will also be exhausted.
In the meantime there thousands Of vacant
lots in this city on which nothing will be grown
during the present spring and summer.
It is true that we're these all planted to gardens,
the farmer who supplies the local market may find
fewer customers.
But it is also true that the food that might be
produced by those who find their only asset during
this summer would at least add variety to meals for
many.
It is also true that were every vacant lot to be-
come a garden, the problem Of finding food next
winter might be less difficult
These gardens, II they are to exist, must be
planted now.
An organized movement to turn every vacant lot
and every back lot into a garden should attract at
tention Of those who are concerned in the food
problem.
1t IS not a cure, of course. But it may be pala-
tive until that time arrives when men and women
once more will find market for their services and
their labor.
Tools and seeds are easier to provide now than
baskets will be next winter.

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. wALTER FERGUSON

II Unless We insist upon an adequate navy and a
~ more powerful standing army" writes a martial
gentleman we may expect TO be conquered by bet
ter prepared people In the future only that country
that maintains great armed strength hope to
survive
This, I think, is less true Of the future than it
Of the past and it certainly never has been true
Of the past in Americas case.
We had the smallest number and the woxst
equipped troops in IT'S yet licked the British.
In 1860 the northern soldiers were far less well drilled
and trained than those in the south. Yet the Fed
erals Won
In 1914 the United States had practically no army
at all, according to German standards, yet We came
out of the fracas with the hghtest loss. And got
credit for winning the war besides.
The nation with the finest army always is the one
that loses in the long There is not single his
torical incident that does not verify this
THE average military minded person seems ex-
Il tremely short-sighted on this point. He sees
only the immediate moment, and lacks an magma
not look ahead even for decade
AL he is capable Of grasping Is the total number
Of casualties in any given war. He. thrills at Ma
poleons victories, and forgets his swift following de-
featS. He insists on fighting his battles with the
weapons Of yesterday He is incapable Of changing
his mind about either the make or the number Of
his guns.
In the future. as in our recent past no nation
ever can win war. Can anybody be called the VIC
tor in a cataclysm that wrecks world?

Let's Hear From the Forgotten Man"

Never in all history has the forgotten man" been
responsible for the expenditure of so much money
by any government He reads of a million here and
a million there billion for this and billion for
that appropriated by the lawmakers.
He hears of economy bills killed of and pension
bills added on-an at the nsstence of the organized
mnorities and at the expense of the unorganized
rank and file, represented by the forgotten man."
And why is he forgotten2 Why, since he is made
to pay the bill, is he not consulted? Simply because
he has not been heard from.
Are you among the forgotten? Do you belong
to the great rank and fle-that does not belong to
any group represented by lobby?
All appropriations for government expenditure
originate in the house Of representatives Those rep
resentatives are all that the name implies. They
represent you as lawmakers in exactly the manner
you deserve.
Being human, If they do not hear from you as
to what you think Of the legislation that is being
passed, and they Go hear from the organized minor
tiles in ever-increasng numbers as they are hear
ing they naturally are going to listen to the crowd
that represents special privilege and not to the great
majority as represented by the forgotten man"
Don't forget that every one pays his share Of gov
eminent expenditures in some form Of taxes Just
because the tax collector does call personally at
your home and present his bill to you individually
no reason for thinking that you do not pay.
You pay your share OF taxes when you buy shoes
hats and all other articles Of clothing You pay it
when you pay rent and all down the line
When you are compelled to give over two months
work out OF every year to federal state and local
government in taxes, and that in period when your
own income has declined sharply. you fail to
realize that unless you let yourself be heard that
proportion OF your income appropriated by the gov
ernments will increase rather than decrease?
The lawmakers the Official money spenders, not
only federal but local should hear from the for
gotten man"

Mothers Day

Tomorrow IS Mothers day, the most important
OF our national holidays because It IS dedicated 70
the most sacred OF sentiments
No word has ever been coined TO describe mother
love No substitute has ever been discovered for
it BY any human being
Poet painter novelist preacher have tried in vain
to translate it into picture or written word They
have only succeeded in catching shadow OF its
reality.
It remains steadfast when all else has gone. It
gows as firmly in the shadow Of a galows as 1t
does under the white glare and pomp OF palace
It is a matter Of some pride that the idea Of
holding meetings day each year to remind a
busy people Of its debt to the mothers Of the land
came from an Indiana man, Frank E. Herring, in this
city. at meeting OF the Fraterna order OF Eagles
more than quarter Of century ago.
Today the observation is nation wide, and carna-
tons white and red, will again turn the
thoughts Of men and women to the authors Of their
existence and the inspiration for all that they may
be for good in this life.
nation that reverences mother love, the one
sentiment that approaches divinity itself, is safer in
times OF stress than that has become too sordid
or too forgetful to give it thought.
For mothers mean homes. And the home means
a family as the unit OF society It is the beginning
Of thinking as a group and leads away from selfish
ness into a realization Of common purposes, common
goal common detectives.
In these days when strong forces are battling
against family integrity against conditions that make
homes possible Mothers day is more than important
It is day for new conservation and for thought

child who needed this type Of
training.
The parents were without funds
and since the school was main
tanned by the town the child was
not entitled under the law to be
educated at the expense Of the
town.
A welfare organization obtained a
special ruling by the school board
of the town admitting the child and
obtained from bus line a special
pass which entitled the little girl
to be brought into the city on the
bus each day and taken home each
evening.
AS may be imagined, many hours
Of work and much correspondence
were required before these results
were accomplished.
When it is realized that there are
probably 10000 other children who
ought to have the same efforts ex-
erted in their behalf, the scope of
the problem becomes more ap-
parent.
1t is a better policy TO spend
money today in teaching the handi-
capped children to take care Of
themselves than to take care of
them at public expense when they
grow older.
THE END
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-05-07

WE talk much Of crime and how
w best to prevent it, but We
are as hopelessly in the dark as
we're our cave-dwelling ancestors
1000 years ago.
Certain types of crime obviously
are due to mental defects, but
frequently the mental defects are
so bound up with social, religious,
or social doctrines as to defy
analysis.
We forget that we continually are
excusing, if not clarifying, crime
under certain conditions.
Nathan Hale and John Andre
we're spies. The British hanged one,
only to make him a hero with us.
We hanged the other. only to make
him a hero with the British.
The student who precipitabed the
World war by shooting Archduke
Franz Ferdinand is regarded as an
assassin outside Of Serbia, but the
Serbians look upon him as among
their greatest patriots.
Such a background inspires weak
minded men to dream Of doing
great things through some act Of
violence, Of making themselves i'm
mortal through some shocking
deed.

is mentally handicapped, such
measures as early will discover and
diagnose his handicap, provide care
and treatment, and so train him
that he may become an asset to
society rather than a liability.
Expenses Of these services
should be borne publicly where they
can not be met privately"
Accomplishment of this aim still
is far away. Six thousand children
who are blind are being educated
in public or private schools for the

Only 10000 Of the children who

Try to Be Martyrs
NEW assassins regard themselves
4 &c criminals

NEW assassins regard themselves
Il as criminals.
In the vast ma ority Of cases, they
seem to have discounted the cost,
seem glad of the chance to play for
martyrdom.
This Gorgulof, for instance, made
no attempt to escape, thought he
must have known that death was
inevitable.
Gibbon has said that we will have
war as long as we build monuments
to destroyers. The chances are
that we will have assassination as
long as we glorify killing, as long as
we associate human progress with
wholesale murder.
If good could come out of
slaughtering ten million men, as
present-day history implies with
regard to the World war. what is to
prevent some hair Drained fool from
imagining it may come out of a
single death?
At the end of the World war civil
lied world was talking about moth
ing so loudly as a gallowS for the
kaiser. That merely was sewing
seeds Of violent thought in millions
Of minds, merely establishing a
pretext for half-crazed intellectS.

New Bill of Rights

The Journal of the National Education Association
takes occasion to commemorate the birth Of this
republics founder by suggesting bicentennial bill Of
rights in keeping with modern wants.
What America needs today says the Journal,
"is new faith, new plan. and new purpose" To
this end it proposes that the following seven rights
be formulated for the 1892 American:
First, the right to security to a system Of life so
planned as to Offset the uncertainties of illness acct
dent, disability. unemployment and old age.
Second. the right to home amid surroundings
that are beautiful clean quiet safe wholesome and
neighborly.
Third. the right to an education, thorough and
comprehensive. including both children and adults.

Fourth. tie right to government that isshonest.

Chemical Systems

NTATER may be regarded. from
w one point OF view, as the basis
Of terrestrial chemistry. Water con-
sists Of two atoms of hydrogen and
one atom Of oxygen.
But in the electrified or ionized
state. water molecules separate into
a hydrogen ion, or electrified hydro
gen atom. and a hydroxil ion. which
is a combination of one hydrogen
and one oxygen atom
The hydrogen ion is the founda-
ton of the various acids; the hy-
droxil ion OF the various bases.
When an acid and a base react to-
gether, the result is the formation
of salt and water. For example,
hydrochloric acid and sodium hy-
droxide react to form ordinary table
salt and water.
DR.. Franklin sums up the conclu-
sions of his lifelong study OF am
monia as follows:
Il have shown that an ammonia
system Of acids, bases, and salts
may be formulated on the basis OF
ammonia as the typical substance,
and in manner entirely analogous
to formulation Of the ordinary oxy-
gen acids. bases and salts as deriva-
tives Of water.
In other words, a system OF
acids, bases and salts has been
developed in which nitrogen occu-
pies a position similar to that oc-
cupied by oxygen in the system Of
I,ayciSier,"

Principle Not Involved

OUR conceptions with regard to
~ crime, especially with regard to
that peculiar character of crime
which originates in social, religious,
or political completes, rest on pro-
vincialism, rather than principle.
We forgive one group for what we
condemn in another.
Cross some imaginary line and
murder becomes heroism. Belong
to certain race and you can get
away with almost anything. Change
places as to either and you have to
be very careful.
No one knows exactly where these
imaginary lines, or racial bound
aries, begin and end, least of all
those impressionable souls who are
apt to fall for anything.

A Great Pioneer

THE citation awarding the Gibbs
Il medal to DR.. Franklin, says in
part:
DIR. Franklin's work on liquid
ammonia solutions opened up an
entirely new field, and also modi-
fed profoundly our views on aque-
GUS solutions. He has made a life
long study, characterized by in
sight, thoroughness and expert
mental skill, Of reactions in liquid
ammonia.
"All trained chemists, both or
ganic and inorganic, are aware OF
the profound effect Of Franklin's
work upon modern concepts OF the
relation between the solvent and
the chemistry Of the solute
THE well-known experimental
and theoretical development consu-
tuting practically a lifetime contri-
button has received recognition Of
the American Chemist Society
through the fact that DR.. Franklin
was president Of our society at one
time"
DR. Franklin has been honored by
scientific societies in this country
and abroad for his contributions 70
the field Of organic chemistry.
He is a past president Of the
American Chemical Society and a
holder Of the William II. Nichols
medal for 1925.
One Of the best known Of Ameri-
can chemists, he has been extolled
as a pioneer whose achievements
promise future triumphs for chem
istry.
His work has been described as "a
striking example OF the application
Of the scientific method to the de-
velopment and a contribution Of the
first importance TO the chemistry
OF nitrogen"

THE gentlemen who make up the
Il drama section of the Pulitzer
prize committee suffer from delayed
reflexes. 1t is their custom annually
to correct the error which they
committed in the previous season.
The award for 1881 should have
gone to George S. kaufman and
Moss Hart in recognition of "Once
in a Lifetime" Instead, a singularly
dreary drama called "Alison's
House" was chosen.
This year the judges put them
selves in debt to Robert E. Sher-
wood by neglecting Reunion in
Vienna" and hestowing the laurel
upon "Of Thee I Sing" Sherwood
need not be disappointed, because in
all logic the committee will get
around to him next year, no matter
what his current offering.
"Of Thee I Sing is one Of the
best musical comedies to come this
way in many seasons. But it is not
a play and does not pretend to be.
H. I. Phillips has the notion that
the judges second choice was Ring
ling Bros. Circus.
