ITO permit the forces of social work to be scat

According to the National Education Association,
many school systems in the country are faced with
a situation that endangers the education standards
far attained"
If present tendencies continue they surely will
retard halt or even set back the progress of Ameri-
education"
The depression is working double havoc with the
schools. On the hand, the necessity for cutting
public expenditures is causing serious cuts in school
budgets In 1461 cities reporting to the N. E. A, 10
per cent had decreased teachers salaries.
Since the average salary of the nations 100000
elementary and secondary teachers is only $1364 this
is heavy blow at living standards Salaries of col
lege professors, too VIGOROUSLY low.
Then there are serious curtalments of such service

young people In federaly aided schools, enrolment

But, surely these economies can be made without

Worth the Session

If nothing else had been accomplished the passage
OF the measure making public ownership Of utilities
easier and control Of municipality owned utilities free
from the public service commission would make the
special session worth its entire cost.
Real relief for the public not be accomplished
by merely trimming the salaries of public servants
or reducing the number Of those pay rolls
Much heavier than the cost of government is the
extoron practiced by the utilities through the vari-
GUS schemes Of maintaining unfair rates The easy
trick is that of using the holding company the
fence for the loot That permits the insiders to hide
the real profits made from water, electricity and
other utilities
The cities in this state which are fortunate enough
to own their utilities make large for the public
instead of fortunes for promoters and manipuators
SO successful these publicly owned plants that
In many instances the public service commission
fuses to permit them to reduce the rates because of
comparison with privately owned plants in the same
vicinity
The law which awaits only the signature of
Governor Leslie will take away this power from the
commission and place the control of the publicly
owned properties in the hands of the people who
them.
More important is the provision for public own
ershp Of plants when the people grow tired of pay
ing tribute to foreign owners.
This should result in very general movement
for municipal ownership When that is done the peo
pie will escape not only excessive charges but the
heavy cost bad politics for which the utilities

Frank and Ted

Young Ted Roosevelt is embarrassed. But the
politicians envy him. He is like the coed with too
many suitors He is being told that he is indispen-
sable To be indispensable is the politicians dream
But to be indispensable two jobs at once-that is
bliss.
The of Roosevelt is potent in a presiden-
tia campaign. This man Franklin D-whom Repub-
licans have been known to resent as an interoper-
is being mistaken for T. R. by voters. Others
have the idea that the Democratic candidate is the
son of the Republican idol.
The only way the Republican campaign man
think of proving to those perverse voters
that Franklin is neither the Republican prophet nor
even the son of the prophet put Theodore Junior
the stump in person for Hoover No one else can
do the job.
That sounds simple, but it is not. 1t seems that
young Teddy is successful as governor general of
the Philippines that the island people are unwilling
to his services for the brief period required for
campaign tour here.
The provincial governors of the islands feel so
strongly that they just have passed resolution ap-
pealng to their popular general not to leave
them for a minute.
If this is case of mistaken identity is the Joke
on the voters who do not know that Franklin is not
Teddy Jr, or on the Republican politicians, who
thought they were dealing only with son and found
that he was political parsonage in his own rightP

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE
Protein Loss Marks Bright's Disease

/ loss of the material through the
body fluids given out by the kidney.
Thus it would seem that in many
forms of Bright's disease the
chances of complete recovery de-
pend largely on the ability of the
body to compensate for the protein
that is lost.
There is one way in which this
can be done; namely, by taking in
enough suitable protein to make
good the deficit.
On the other hand, there is pos
sibility that the taking of excess
portein might throw to great bur-
den on the weak kidneys.
DR.. McLester does not believe that
this danger is serious.
At present the daily allowance of
protein for patients with Bright's
disease is about 40 or so grams,

Peoples Voice

Editor Times-I have thought very
much about the condition of our
country, the scarcity Of money, the
impossibility of the working man Of
our country to get work.
In my opinion, the United States
government is the only government,
at least it is the only one for me
yet I believe that our office holders
have overlooked a very important
factor which tends toward good gov
eminent. They, through the fact
that they never have felt the de-
preston by being on salary, do not
realize how serious is to have mil
lions of family heads out Of work at
this time of year, facing "a rapidly
approaching winter.
There is no doubt in my mind
that if the common people had
money as they once had there would
be plenty of business and plenty of
work. Only short time ago UNI
derStood that the United States
probably was the wealthiest nation
IN JIe WOTlQ.
If it was then, there is no doubt
that it still has the securities or the
money. I believe that the money of
our common people has gotten away
through the fact that they had
debts contracted at high prices on
commodities and real estate, and
that the crash which caused every
article Of value to decrease to its
present low level was brought about
in some way by the boarding of
money by the few men of cur coun-
try who really have millions.
Most of the people who have these
debts never will get out, if the pres
ent panic continues.

Size of Spots

NHE size Of sun spots serves to
Il indicate how small this little
earth of ours is. The diameter of
the umbra or dark center of the
spot may range from 500 miles to
as much as $4,000 miles.
1t would be possible to pick I'D
our little earth and drop it right
into one Of these larger spots.
And since the temperature is
about 5000 degrees, our earth would
last about as long as a snowflake
dropped into a red-hot stove.
The penumbra surrounding a.
group of spots sometimes is as much
as 10000 miles in diameter.
Sun spots change their appear
ance frequently. If one keeps in
mind the tremendous size of the
spots, he can appreciate the stu
pendous activity which goes on
upon the surface of the sun.
Spots appear and disappear with
considerable rapidity.
An analysis Of photos of the sun
at the Greenwich observatory in
England showed that one-fourth of
all the spots recorded lasted but a
single day.
Another fourth lasted only from
two to four days. The two classes
just mentioned consisted, as might
be guessed, of the smaller spots.
The larger ones were more perma-
nent, lasting in most cases for a
week or more.
Out of 5000 groups of spots. how
ever, only 463 lasted for more than
tWenty-four days.

A CAMPAIGN has begun to dis
N courage the use Of paper
money and to substitute the silver
dollar. I'm for it.
The avowed object of the move
ment is to force the treasury to buy
more silver and thus increase the
value of the white metal. AS pure
" economic measure, the campaign
probably is doomed to failure.
Andrew Mellon was an advocate
of the innovation back in the days
when he was "the greatest secretary
of the treasury since Alexander
Hamilton" He failed to interest the
public, but it seems to me that Mr..
Mellon was not the type to pop
ularize the cartwheel.
It is hard to imagine Uncle Andy
moving about among his cronieS all
bullying and clanking with silver dol
lars. In fact, it wouldn't take much
more than a couple of the coins to
make Mr.. Mellon bulge.
But if the government wants a
man to bleed and die against the
tyranny of paper, I'll be glad to
carry consignment of cartWheelS
and make no charge for the service
Naturally, I shall expect to be sup
piled with free samples.

whereas Dr. McLester and others
believe that three times this
amount, namely, $50 grams, could
be taken to advantage.
Of course, there must also be
added to the diet enough carbo-
hydrate and fat to cover the re-
quirement of the patient for energy.
The proteins to be taken should
be those which have the highest
value for building tissue and repair
tissue in the body, namely. what
are known as the animal proteins,
such as milk, meat and eggs.
In general, according to DR.. Nc
Lester, a grown person with Bright's
disease who takes a quart of milk
a day, two eggs daily, and one
large serving of meat, satisfies his
need for protein and does not harm
his kidneys.

Craftsmanship of High Order

In marked contrast to the ineptitude, stupidity OF
sentimentaty of both extreme isolationiss and pro-
fessional internatonasts have been two remarkably
sound recent statements of world policy.
One came from the venerable diplomat and ex-
president of Cornell university, DR.. Jacob Gould
Schurman He set forth a four point program for
recovery:
"Can anything be more fOolsh-I almost said more
crminal-than to prolong the present nightmare of
economic depression for the sake of a fancied gain
from debts?
I'm the first place justice and international law
must be reenthroned, both in the hearts of men and
in the chanceleries of the world. The nations de-
feaed in the great must be given back their abso-
lutte sovereignty and equality with the victorious ma
tons
Second statesmen and diplomats must adapt to
economic realities the fantastic and intoerabe bur-
den of reparations which was put upon the Shout
ders of the defeated nations by the treaties framed
at Paris and dictated to the central powers.
Third, barriers must be set up anew against the
exercise of brute force weaker neghbors by
bilious imperialstic powers.
Fourth, there must be a general reduction of
ornaments, which palpably will diminish the heavy
burden of military taxation under which the whole
world now suffers"
This is supplemented admirably by the more Spe-
cifc recommendations made to the Lausanne confer
ence by the eminent expert on international finance
DR.. Max Winkler:
Il. Reductions of ornaments: Hundreds of mil
lions now being used in decidedly nonproduc-
tive manner. Sums saved could be employed con-
structively which would go long way toward restor-
ing confidence
%. Elimination of war guilt: No one nation is ex-
cusively responsible They are all to blame although
in varying degrees.
50. Restoration of the gold standard: So long as
no other standard has been brought forward which
can take its place. it is futile to look salvation in
abandonment of the gold standard at all. Salvation
lies in return to it by all powers engaged in trade
and industry.
a. Rational adjustment of tariffs: Protective
measures should be based upon sound economics
rather than upon political considerations.
IS. Postponement of all reparations conditional
as we'll unconditional for not less than five years
IS. Suspension by the United States of all politi-
cal debts for the period during which reparations re-
main unpaid. In the meantime, the entire question
OF political debts is to be re-examned by committee
appointed by the President of the United States such
re-examnation to be based upon developments within
recent years. rather than with view to theoretical
possibilities"
The war debt situation gives us an opportunity We
might be able to them as the lever to force de-
cisive disarmament and to bring it to pass, all too
late, that the world did, after ALL discourage war
and militarism. This may be the last chance.
