BROOKHART AND HIS IOWA.

Senator Brookhart of Iowa had been enoeaVoriis for months to get Senator Borah, Senator Johnson' Gov Pnchot or some other progressive to contest with President Hoover for the Republican Presden- tial nomination. To and all of these he hao promised the vote of Iowa. The other day by vote 268 to 1O3 the Iowa Republican State Con venton pledged it's delegation to support President Hoover Evidently Senator Brookhart does not own the Iowa Republican Party.
 Senator Brookhart is experiencing situation that offce-seeke frequently get up against They come to the front and win high place, sometimes On the strength of a slogan or two we want two dol lar wheat for the farmer" or Down with the banks their interest bills are making the rich richer and the poor poorer Save the resources of the coun- trv from exploitation (which often means develop ment)"; or Down with the Cities and up With the Farms" We are for the plain peepul,' or more oi these.

THE DISMAL RECORD

Figures recently printed amply justify the decided change in public sentiment toward the Prohibition question. They stock the sensbilities of sensible people During eleven years under Prohibition Fed eral authorities arrested 657 persons for Pro- hibition violations. Convictions were obtained in 499911 cases, and I'll 2o5 were sent to jail These figures repudiate the predictions of decade ago that crime would disappear and the jails be emptied with Prohibition in effect
 The number of stills seized reached the astounding total of 291 ISL and the number of gallons of liquor and mash destroyed was 266 7s0612 The dscour- aging record runs on with 77,707 automobiles con- fiscated and 6809 boats captured while 35,S65 premises were padlocked The aggregate of fines collected was ,344
 Notwithstanding these enormous collections and seizures the Government has found Prohibition very costly. Enforcement has cost $37000000O and loss of public revenues has amounted to $10894 000
 In view of this dismal record it is not a wonder that the people turning against the noble ex- pertinent

Taking Prohibition Out of Politics.
Seattle Tines)

The Republican Party will take more liberal" stand prohibition in the national platform to be adopted next June according to opinions almost sim utaneously expressed by Secretary of War Hurley Ralph Williams of Oregon, vice chairman of the tional committee, and Senator Otis Glenn of Illi- nois Secretary Hurley added that the question uti matey will be settled upon the basis of states rights
 These three Republican leaders, on the one hand and Messrs Raskob and Shouse for the Democrats are pointing plainly to the best way of keeping pro- hibtion from becoming party issue this year. Rev F. Scott Mcbride, Dr. Edwin Dnwiddie Bishop Can non, Dr. Clarence Wilson and others speaking for the organized dries insist that prohibition isn't a party issue and shouldn't be made one. Here then would seem to be chance for everybody to agree.
 Platform silence lodging won't keep prohibition out of politics; everybody knows that Let both Re- publican and Democratic platforms pledge resubnis- sion of the issue to the states Such pledge would put neither party at advantage or disadvantage as against the other; party members, dry and wet could vote in their parties with clear conscenceS Eventually fulfilling the pledge, the successful party would simply put the question to the people fol definite decision

One thing ought to be clearly retained in mind; Those Democrats that were requested to run for National Committeeman and Delegates to the Na- tiona Convention by the Fairbanks Convention will have not a thing to do with the primary election law They were selected to go to Chicago and vote for Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt for the Democratic oonination for President. They are on record.

a moment by David's implication something like that. She's very charming when we meet. Shes far too busy to come to see us she's been over only once. And I don't think of her any more than I have to. Gar doesn't know what I overheard that day, you see. There didn't seem any use in telling him. I can forget it. " She spoke triumphantly.
 But David's expression made her triumph seem empty
 He wasn't drinking his tea; he pushed the little cakes he had or dered away from him. Kitty mo- ticed that he was thinner, rest loss, that his clothes looked shaIb- bier.
 David, let's talk about you, Hcw's the book going?"
 He shrugged his shoulders, Static. If it starts any action zt1l be toward the wastebasket. 2
 @Dayid What does Dorcas say to that?"
 T haven't seen Dorcas lately.
 She protested again.
 'TIow about yourself? The lass time I did see her she asked about you and what I'd heard from you.
 He had countered Kitty effec- .lially. She had seen Dorcas only once since she had left Ketchum Street.
 My housekeeping keeps me very busy sine answered, a little prin1Iy. I love it, David. And even- ings Gar always wants to do some thing" But her defense sound ed lame in her own ears; she stopped little confused.
 rAnd we're contraband, any way" David finished.
 Kitty's face sobered. She gave an impatient little shake of ner head. "You always put things SC disagreeably, David! Just when everything's particularly nice you say something to spoil it. It is that you like to offend me? Ii so, I'll go straight away and save you the bother!"

How to Balance a Budget.
(New York Times)


 Germany faces many difficulties which do not trouble the United States Her gold reserve is low, her middle class impoverished, her central govern ment burdened with expensive system of benefits for unemployment Nevertheless, while Congressman in Washington proceeding to destroy the Ways and Means Committees tax bill, arguing that it places too great a burden the richest nation in the world, dispatch from Berlin reports that the German Government has managed to present a balanced budget.
 Congress might be interested to know how this was done The answer is that the German Govern ment employed a curiousy old-fashioned method practically unknown today in the United States namely reduction of expenditures.
 Last year the German budget amounted to S2,500- 0000 000 For the next fiscal year it has been cut tc S2 GOO 100000 This is a reduction of 20 per cent If the same method were employed in the Unitee States, the expenditures of the Federal Government would be reduced by s800000000 and the Ways anc Means Committee would need to raise only S4O0, 100000 instead of three times as much, in order t( bring current expenses within current income

dealing with an animal that's
blessed-or cursed-with the
very maximum Of brains and
cunning. I've told you how
you've got to deal with him, and
you're too stubborn to take my
advice. But I don't believe
you'll ever catch your killer till
you follow it,"
We argued the thing back
and forth for an hour or more,
but I couldn't bulge him.
Finally we adjourned to the
lobby, where we we're joined by
one of the town pests. the same
amateur hunter who had sug-
gested organizing an armored
car expedition. He was feeling
a bit humorous for a change, I
suppose, because his latest idea
was that I should "go out to
Gsttle's place and drag the
tiger back b. the tail"
He Keeps Silent
I was in no mood for a kid
ding match, so 1 just kept silent
and let him ramble on. You're
in the business of collecting live
animals, aren't you?" he asked.
We'll. Bob Cattle will let you
keep the tiger if you capture it.
Think of the money you could
make exhibiting the worlds
greatest man-killer!"
I shrugged my shoulders and
managed some. ow to get away
from him. Cattle and I went

I bade him good-by, after prom

"We actually might try trap
ping the animal" 1 suggested.
There's an outside chance that
it would work. But you'll have
to get over your stubborn idea
about the bait. This killer is
fuSSy, and he won't be interest
ed in goats or other small ami
mails. He wants human flesh"
An interesting fact about the
Kuali killer was that not one of
Gattle'S workers was among the
IL fatalities so far. While the
animals tracks had been dis
covered several times in various
parts of Gattle'S estate, all of
the killings had taken place in
adjoining or adjacent territory.
This was attributed by the
superstitiouS natives to the
presence on the estate of a
crude Chinese temple. This
place of worship was erected by

dresses that are a little different,

About 4 per cent of all males
are more or less color blind.
While cases have been reported
in women, it is rare and not
typical in them, and the con-
clusion has been that it is a
sex-linked character of males.
We know of many sex-linked
hereditary qualities. In the
case of color blind individuals
all of the germ cells with the
x chromosome are defective in
the gene for color diScrimina-
ton.
The typical color blind indi-
vidual has difficulty only with
red and green. They both look
alike and they both appear
grayish. The only colors he
distinguishes are yellowS and
blues.
Varities of moderate degree
are common. A very few per-
sons are violet blind. Most of
the subjects, however exhibit
the classical red-green blind
ness.
The physiologi al explana-
ton of color blindness is not
very clear. Discrimination of
color in normal eyes occurs
only in the center of the visual
field. At the periphery of the
circle of your vision when YOU
are looking straight ahead, you
see only white and black and
form-no colorS. The anatomi-
cal elements in the retina in
color blind individuals are prob
ably all like the elements which
pick up vision at the periphery.
Tests for color blindness are
simple, accurate, and require
little time. They are universally
applied to railway employees.
There is no reason why, with
the number of automobile driv-
ers swho have to exercise color
discrimination, they should not
be part of the examination for
a drivers license.
Remeber that the color
blind are usually entirely un-
aware of their defect even into
adult life. 1t is totally impos-
sible for such a person to dis
tinguish a red sigma from a
green at a street crossing or
to see the red signal At the
back Of a car ahead.
