Just Every Day Sense
By Mrs. Walter Ferguson
\ GRAND thlng about this depression IS that It

A GRAND thing ABOUT THIS depression is CEaJ II
n has widened women's horizons
The need for more social service workers and for
more personal charities has given many housewife
a perspective on life
Women, when things go we'll, are likely to limit
their friendships to small groups They have special
little cliqueS, a few ntnates, with whom they play
and whose family secrets they know, and that often
will be the extent of their social sphere.
And so comfortable will they find themselves in
to meet other women whose interests may be alien
to their own
Hence their outlook on life can become danger
ously narrow. They miss many fine contacts and
many inspiring experiences.
For you can rot understand woman unless you
know many different kinds of And you
will realize true friendship unless you have
friends in several stations Of society

They are new beings aglow with interest in life

One man with a true concern is
worth an army of a million. A few
standing shoulder to shoulder can
hold the pass. The function of the
fighter who trusts to spear or gun
ends with his death. Knock him
down and the path is clear.
But the British government finally
did have the sense to realize that
Gandhi dead still would go march
ing on in the newly kindled passion
for his cause.
And what he succeeded in doing
need not be an isolated episode
attributed to the peculiar psychol-
ogye of the east. In some respects
his task was harder than if he had
been leader in England, America
or Germany.
After all, we have means of close
communication with a multitude
which were not available to him. He
could not, for instance, talk to his
countrymen over a coast forecast
radio network or be syndicated
through vast chains of newspapers.
The matter was more arduous,
and yet there seems to have been
not the least doubt in even the most
remote portions of India as to what
Gandhi stood for and Why

Up to New York Itself

I HOLD no brief for Tammany
Il hall, or the political philosophy
for which it stands. I think the
people OF New York could do bet
ter without it than with it. I think
such an organization tends to breed
corruption, favoritism, laWlessness
and bad government.
1 think New York City is one of
the worst managed communities in
America, that its economic condi-
ton is alarming, and that drastic
remedies are in order. I think that
Tammany is largely responsible for
the extravaganza and incompetence
which have led to such state OF
affairs.
But when all that has been said
1t does not prove that meddling by
the state, or any other outside force
is the best corrective.
On the contrary, it suggests that
outside meddling is likely to make
matters worse, and this is borne out
by past experiences.
In the end, we are going to find
out that New York never will be
cleaned up until New Workers. are
ready to do it.

Peoples Voice

Editor Times-Recently a COM
mentator reviewed an article by
Bruce Barton on Don't Change
Horses" in one of your city's papers
and made Lincoln's reelection the
major reason for not changing now.
Second that Roosevelt should not
appeal to the people. It's class
appeal"
There is no comparison between
Hoover and Lincoln in time or cir
cumstances. In 1864 few Democrats
were in congress and the south was
under martial law. However, Lin
coin believed in change. Many
times he changed generals over
night.
Many Democrat generals we're
promoted, chief among them Grant,
a lifelong Democrat and four years
later nominated and elected by G.
o. P.
Suppose Washington had said 'Get
King George go on, he is on the Job,
the tax question is important" Have
we g. tax question today? France
changes government frequently if
needed. England does likewise.
Why should we not change after
a decade Of mistakes, broken prom
ises and great poverty everywhere,
except at the top? There must be
change.
What can Roosevelt do, but ap-
peal to the people? Hoover says
they need more instruction. p
Roosevelt assumes they know and
have felt the results of misrule.
The commentator thought there
might be ADLER Democrats. We grant
there are many able Democrats. Are
there no other ADLER G. o. P. lead
ers? Roosevelt was the desired
choice in convention. Give him a
sympathetic congress and he will
obtain results.
Give Hoover four years more?"
Why, when Hoover says many times
in his acceptance essay. Il will con-
tinue and maintain, this and that?
Is that what the people want? DC

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE -

This is the third of four special articles
by DIR. Fishbein on SCIENTISTS fight to

BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor Journal of the American Medical
Association and of Hygeia, the
Health Magazine.
THERE are companies in New
l. York which specialize in rails
ing money for needy educational
and philanthropic institutions.
These specialists first locate some
individual with sufficient money to
give part of it away-a task not so
difficult in 1929-but considerable
of an effort in 1882.
Then they make a study of the
history, the DESIRES and the habits
of the person concerned. They find
out the day of his birth, the num-
Der of persons in his family, the
dates of any deaths that may have
occurred.
They look into the type of car
that he drives, his favorite amuse-
ments, and indeed everything that
can be known concerning him.
They then take advantage of ev-
cry one of his little weaknesses in
their solicitation of funds. He is

liberties of my people" I can not
see the joke at all.
At least, can not see Gandhi as
the butt Of it. The joke is on us
who go about our way saying that
this or that should be done, but
never having the stamina or the
courage to pit our will against
forces which Cypress us. Possibly
we are growing a little blase about
starvation.
I do not know that Gandhis
equivalent is among us, but if he
rises up prophesy that here, among
the hardheads and the rational, he
will sweep on to triumph.
That sort of determination is
triple armored and can not be
swept aside by any irrelevancy or
violence.

DANGER In | aW

THERE is fundamental danger
4 in clothing the chief executive
OF any state with such power as
the Governor Of New York now
exercises with regard to city Of
ficials.
Democratic government is sup
posed to preclude the necessity of
one elective official removing an
other.
We can not adopt the premise
that the people of state repre-
sent great intelligence than the
people of a city.
1t is consistent with the prin-
ciples of democracy to subject Of
hcials to removal by regularly con-
stltuted courts, through due process
OF law. They should not be i'm
mune to grand jury or impeach-
ment proceedings.
All that, however, is very differ
ent from the kind of proceedings
which have recently taken place
in New York.

Carvings Found

A T two localities Walker found
L n pictures and symbols carved on
the rock. At third site, he found
pictures painted with red ochre.
Humans, snakes, tracks, sun,
moon, stars and unrecognizable
forms, were depicted" Walker says.
Pottery, flint, and bone fragments
in pile of ashes and refuse under
the rock shelter indicate strongly
that these figures were the work of
Indians.
Some curious rocks bearing cary
ingS were found in a field several
miles away. There were thirty
three of these rocks, with only their
fiat surfaces exposed at the level of
the ground.
On these surfaces were inscribed
geometrical figures-circles, combi-
nations of circles and dots within
circles.
Time and weather so nearly had
oollterated the carvings that it was
necessary to dust fine sand into
them to bring them out clearly.
y
In addition to purely geometric
designs, there were realistic repre-
sensations of human hand and foot
prints and of tracks of animals.
They probably were made with
ceremonial purpose and may con-
stitute the records Of clan or tribal
gatherings.
Carvings also were found on the
walls Of an enormous sandstone,
cave. They were carved into the
soft rock as deep as half an inch in
some places.
There were realistic figures OF
men and turtles, birds and other
animals, some geometric figures of
diamonds, straight bars and disks
and-most suggestive of all-numer-
Gus representations of conventional
lied human beings and an animal
strongly suggesting a. horse "

TT is easy enough to write dia-
l. tribes against Tammany; they
are like Ford jokes. They only help
Tammany, especially when based on
the proposition of outside interior
ence. After all, Tammany is a
New York institution. If the people
Of New York don't like it, theirs is
the power to get rid of it.
Outside meddling has done much
to strengthen Tammany. Those
who invite or invoke it make a grave
mistake.
The present situation is compli-
Gated by a natural resentment
against state interference with CITY
affairs. The arbitrary removal of
high city officials by the Governor.
no matter how justifable it may
appear on moral grounds, hurts To-
cal pride in New York, and gives the
dominant political organization an
opportunity to pose as champion of

1t is well enough to argue that
officials are unfit and ought to be
removed, but if the majority of
people want them, what are you
going to do?

The Forgotten Child


The American nations record on exploitation of
children is revolving. 1t is more than twenty five
years since the evils visited upon child labor by the
machine age displayed publicly, to shock the
country.
Proposals for abolition of child labor, including
the anti-chid labor constitutional amendment have
been delayed and pigeon holed in state Iegis
latures Only six of the necessary thrty-six states
have ratified the amendment
Now more than 100000 adult workers are out
of jobs, while hundreds of thousands perhaps mil
lions. of children are at work
In 1880 100000 children from 10 to II were found
to be working at what the census bures terms gain
full employment" But the employment was not
galnfu for it deprived the children of their heri
tage of humanity, play, health and education
Child employment is even more dsgraceful than
adult unemployment.
The aggravated condition has not been met in
1892 by the major political parties Neither plat
form mentions the subject of child labor although
words used to indicate hazy approval of child
protection"
President Hoover, in his radio address this week
to child welfare conference in New York called for
steady elimination of child labor" 1t would help
he suggested, "if children eliminated from
these few industries where they still are employed"
But he failed to appeal for ratification of the anti
child labor amendment or for strengthening the
United States chdrens bureau.
The Socialist party and the American Federation
of Labor alone agitating for abolition of child
labor 1t is too bad that major parties have for
gotten working children

1T SEEMS TOME BY H Ry027%

TINE political point involved in
l. Gandhi's hunger strike is of
necessity obscure and perplexing to
the average American. Few of us
have sufficient knowledge to pass
upon the merits of a controversy
concerning the "untouchables."
But the victory won by the little
man in a loin cloth is far more i'm
pOrtant than the immediate issue
involved. 1t seems to me that he
has answered the cry of those who
say, We'll, of course, pacif1sm is all
very pretty, but it isn't practical"
1 can think of no happening in
recent world affairs in which any,
body has proved himself so intense
ly practical as Gandhi. He is, if you
like, religious, a political and an
economic fanatic.
But, then, nobody has ever said
that nonresistance was easy. 1t can
be made effective only by the de-
termination of an individual or a
group Of individuals.
II
Sense and Sentiment
UOU may argue, if you please,
i that Gandhi's death or vic
tory slogan when he began his fast
was a sentimental gesture-that
even if he died he had proved
nothing.
But this argument is raised by
those who believe that if you kill
somebody else you have hammered
home the justice and the logic Of
your cause. Gandhi chose the bet
ter way. He proved not only his
sincerity, but his determination.
Whether it is reasonable or not,
the world has ample proof that
when a man dies for an idea that
idea will live on.
If Gandhi had called upon his
followers to take up arms and meet
the forces of the British govern
ment in the field it is possible that
the English troops might have had
difficult time Of it, although, with
their inferior equipment, it is hard
to see how the Indians could have
prevailed.
But in any case the issue would
have become obscured beneath the
battle smoke. At the end Of few
major engagements, hardly a man
on either side would have known
just what he was fighting about.
1t is very hard to carry on an ar
gument when the guns begin to
shoot.
Kept Them to the Point
DUT Gandhi managed to concen-
ID trate the eyes Of all India upon
the case in point, and nothing but
the case, by centralizing the
struggle within his own frail body.
Sixty-three years of age and
weighing eighty-four pounds, Gan
dhi pitted that eighty-four pounds
against the might and majesty of
the British Empire The might and
majesty of one undaunted human
spirit prevailed. It always will.
