in a real city for the first time or
so. I am surprised, all right, and
also I am bewildered.
But big buildings, after all, are
simply that many more bricks piled

have the same full moon these
nights as we have at home.
Next year, in all fairness to Hey
wood Broun, shall invite him to
cover my tiny beat of waterfront
in San Diego while I take my va
cation for a change. He shall be
invited to cover it during the years
hottest week, the same as has been
done to me.
Should he complain I, too, merely
shall remind him: But think, Mr..
Broun, just think of all the inter
esting people you will get to meet
around the docks. There's Pat, the
wharfnger on pier No. l. There's
Joe Brennan, the port director.
There's Tony, the shoreboat opera

He had seven children when I
left, but now, I presume, he has
eight, as the trip across was long
one. You'll get to meet all these,
Mr.. Broun. I'll give you letters"

Three Main Dangers Menace Infants,

primarily with the health of the
mother rather than that of the
child.
BY preventing toxemia and a diff
ficult childbirth, the lives of both
mother and infant may be saved.
1t has been a rule in medicine
for years to consider the health and
life of the mother before that of
the prospective child.
1t always is for the obstetrician
to decide at the time of the emer-
gency the measures that he is going
to take with a view to saving the
life of the mother and to doing
everything possible to save the life
of the child.
One of the greatest dangers to
all infants is the danger of i'm
proper food. 1t happens, however,
that this is also the easiest and
most certainly overcome Of all the
dangers.
Mothers must be encouraged, in
every possible case to nurse their
own babies.

Auto Deaths

One silver lining to the dark clouds about us is
a new low record for auto deaths in the United
States.
Census figures released today show that in eighty
six of our largest cities deaths due to auto accidents
were $3.50 in the hfty-two weeks ended July as
compared with 1857 during the period last year
This is drop of per cent.
Auto deaths for the four weeks ended July were
fewer than in the previous four weeks, in spite of
the fact that the later period contained the Fourth of
July holidays
Autos however continue to be lethal instruments
in the hands of careless drivers. While We cheer
the lives being saved let remember that the
auto remains ninth in the list of the reasons why
Americans die.

Any district in which the death
rate of infants is fifty or less for
each 1000 births may be considered
as having a low infant mortality
rate. Any rate over seventy is con-
Sidered 8 fairly high rate.
Wherever rates are over seventy,
there is likely to be considerable
amount of disease of the stomach
and intestines, and this represents
the extra mortality.
In a previous series of articles in
these columns I discussed some of
the ways in which attention to the
mother previous to the birth of the
child would insure healthfulnesss of

Thousands of voters too negligent to find out the
facts voted for the man under the bliSsful mis-
apprehension that they were honoring the cowboy

Almost in concert, however, the lawyers cried
out that the thing was legitimate Many indi-

do that he's smart enough to be in congress-"
This incident offers a perfect example of our
dualiStic moral doctrine. Pinned down by a direct
question, there hardly is person who will not admit
that such ruse to get into office is rather a low
form of trickery
1t does not fit in with the ordinary mans con-

false pretenses.

This dualsm of morality is the most vicious thing
in our national life 1t is almost nconceivable that

Balance Is DISRUPTED

THUS far we have tried to cor
a. rect the situation by a little
JudiciouS patching at the top-have
held international conferences. ma
tional conferences, and industrial
conferences galore-have assumed
that the economic structure was
sound until the crash came and that
it could be restored.
That economic structure was a
by-product of the war, snarled I'D
with preposterous debts, operated on
false security, and made impracti-
cal by an industrial alignment which
did not fit the needs of peace.
The economic structure was fairly
well adapted to the law of supply
and demand in 1913. Under normal
conditions, it would have changed
very little between that time and
1919, but the exigencies of war
caused it to change profoundly.
You can't put 65O0O,000 men I'M
der arms without upsetting most
every line of work. You can't pro-
vide them with food, equipment and
ammunition without altering the
industrial system.
You can't kill a sixth of them
and cripple third, without disrupt

World Is She'll Shocked

COMMON sense suggested that
~ we revert to the peace time
set-up, tried to hold our industries
as they were when the western front
was booming, tried to go on with
the plotNof debt, tried to make our
selves believe that powder and
smoke represented good collateral
and that what had been lost on the
battlefield could be reclaimed with
the right kind of a bookkeeping
system.
During the last thirteen years, we
have been living in shelI-shocked,
crippled world, yet we have expected
it to do more than it did when in
good health.
Those in charge of affairs,
whether politically, or economically,
seem to have imagined that nothing
was lost, that by some hook or crook
the inflated values and doomed in
dustries born Of war could go right
on paying dividends, and, if they
failed, the taxpayers would make it
up
The rehabilitation of business. re-
covery of trade, and return of
prosperity can not be had by looking
back at the war, or its consequences.
They depend on the needs of peace
and on revising the economic Struc-
ture to meet those needs.

Peoples Voice

Editor Times-Apropos of our
socio-economic situation, I am re-
minded of an observation once
made by financial expert regard
ing stocks, bonds and other securi-
ties.
If graph or chart be plotted it
invariably will be found that those
stocks that are chiefly industrial
will begin to ascend. This stage
marks the beginning of a prosper
ity wave Then, real estate Securi-
ties will begin the upward trend.
This is obvious, because land
values result not only from the
mere presence of population, but
also from constructive human ac-
tivity, which in this particular case
expresses itself in the form of in
dustry and business.
Prosperity continues until land
values reach the crest of the wave.
This is the time of land booms and
other forms of speculation.
The next stage witnesses the slow
decline of the industrial stocks.
Times begin to get hard. Industrial,
business and bank failures result.
Men are thrown out of employment.
A panic or depression follows.
The explanation is simple: In
dustry and business can not meet
the speculative high rentals.
The above observation has been
true of all our major panics and
depreSSions, and is equally true of
our present one. Since postwar
prosperity, land values and rents
have been exceptionally high, and
remained so even when our present
panic ragged its worst. But now
they are descending slowly.
Observers should be encouraged by
the falling of speculative land
rents and values, for when they
reach the lowest ebh, business and
industry viii pick up, and prosper
ity viii be with us again, until
high land values and rents initiate
another panic. JOHN C. ROSE.

Effect on Europe

TIME Gulf Stream has a profound
l. influence upon the climate of
northwestern Europe. For example,
northern Norway has an avearge
January temperature which is As
degrees higher than the normal for
that latitude.
Hammerfest, a Norwegian port
beyond the Arctic Circle, has open
water during the winter, whereas,
the port of Riga, 800 miles farther
south, is ice-bound III winter.
But. as already stated, scientists
insist that the Gulf Stream has
practically no influence upon
weather in the United States. Why,
then, is the Gulf Stream so inn
portant to Europe and so unim-
portant to America?
The answer lies in the air cur
rents. In winter, the winds in
northwestern Europe are mostly
from the southwest. These winds,
blowing over the warm waters Of
the Gulf Stream, are warmed up
and so they carry warm air to the
coast.
This is why the Gulf Stream
warns northwestern Europe. The
winds effect the transfer Of heat
from Gulf Stream to coast.
In the United States, however.
the prevailing winds along the north
Atlantic coast are from the north
west. In other words, the wind
blows from inland out to sea.
Consequently, the warm waters Of
the Gulf Stream, lying several hum
dred miles off the coast, are power
less to warm the American coast.
MeteorologiSts regard schemes to
change the flow of the Gulf Stream
as impractical. They point to the
mighty volume Of water involved as
one Of the obstacles.
Moreover, they are not certain
that it would help any to bring the
Gulf Stream closer to the American
coast.
They say that bringing warmer
air closer to the American coast
only would accelerate the velocity at
which cold air would flow down
from the northwest, thus resulting

Fluctuations an CUT Stream
Haze Little Effect on
United States Climate,
OcsGnographers Say.
IF any portion of the United
l. States east of the Rocky noun
tains develops a spell of unusually
hot, cool, wet or dry weather be-
fore the end of the summer, the
chances are 100 to l that somebody
will blame it on the Gulf Stream.
If the weather becomes unusual
at any time next winter, the Gulf
Stream viii again get the blame
Periodically, some one advances
the notion that Florida will turn
into a desert or New England into
an ice field because the Gulf Stream
is shifting its direction.
Schemes even have been advanced
for diverting the Gulf Stream TO
bring about improvements in the
weather of the United States.
In view of these perennial claims,
it is of interest to note what me-
teorologists and oceanographers
have to say about the Importance
of the Gulf Stream.
They believe that there are minor
fluctuations in the Gulf Stream,
but that these fluctuations have an
almost negligible effect upon the
weather conditions in the United
States.
This viewpoint does not minimize
the Importance of the Gulf Stream
in the general scheme of world
wide wind and water circulation,
the factors which in all probability
determine climate and general
weather conditions of any given
region.
But it does absolve the Gulf
Stream from any blame for I'M
