eve Of the Lausanne separations conference, and in
view Of the new and more sympathetic French lead
ership under NJ. Herriot.
Lovers Of peace and justice had hoped that the
tolerant spirits Of NJ. Herriot and Herr Bruening
might bring about a harvest Of cooperation between
their countries. the seeds Of which were sown by the
great BRAND and Stressemann.
This hope, now, may be dashed upon the rocks
Of fear and mistrust. Behind the overthrow OF
Bruening is the growing power Of Germanys Mus
solni, Adolph Hitler, whose Platform is down with
the Versailles treaty" wSoSe brown-shirted Nazis
are ~agitating against PREPARATION tribute" and whose
rebelious nationalism seems to have fired the Ger
man masses imagination.
Opposing Hitler are the Communists, bitter
equally against the Versailles treaty and Hitlerism.
Bad as the situation appears, it is not hopeless.
Hitler can not assume power in the government until
after the summer elections. President Hindenburg
still is In Office, and Bruening still is in his I'M
Official counsels. Most important Of all, the French
know that the Germans are desperate and that they
have a leader willing to lead them to desperate ends.
The situation should make the forthcoming
Lausanne conference more than a talkfest.

Just Like Jim

Senator Watson, somewhat disturbed by the
growth of sentiment against prohibition and still
under the hypnotism Of his former alliance with
the khan and Anti-saloon League, has sent the boys
a plank for the state Republican platform. He be-
lieves it VIII please both the fanatical drys and peo-
pie who are tired OF hypocrisy, racketeering, p~rofigacy.
Watson would pledge enforcement Of the law,
even perhaps to the extent Of Furnishing federal on
GERS who personally ~confscate the better grades Of
conhscated liquor from the feoeral building.
He would then suggest that any law may be
amended and would call for a vote by the people
at some far distant date to test sentiment.
He does not, OF course. suggest that the people
have a right to vote for a repeal Of the eighteenth
amendment or a new amendment that would meet
public Judgment. Nothing so direct and frank as
that.
It is q plank that Watson could wave in the dry
districts and meetings and pledge unwavering
allegiance to Vosteadism-
It is a plank he could carry to Gary or South Bend
or to meetings in any county and declare that it is
the way back to sanity and temperance.
1t is the Watson idea Of Caesars wife, not above
suspicion but all things to all men.
It may work. The same trick has always been
used by Watson on every subject. 1t is Just like Jim.

Picture of Today

A LII this has been changed,
"A these practices that satisfied
our predecessors for centuries" DR..
Kintner continues. THE steam
CINE gave us power in greatly in
creased amounts-which, when APP
piled to ships. now makes a trip to
Europe a journey Of only five days.
The terrible suspense of not
knowing whether the traveller was
safe, now is removed by the radio
possibility Of reaching him at any
time. An ocean voyage has been
changed from an ordeal TO a pleas
ure trip.
THE steam engine, applied to a
wagon on rails, has created the To-
comotive-the iron horse that for
speed and stamina far exceeds the
best Of animals for purpose Of
transportation.
The gas engine followed and is
even more adaptable for lighter and
smaller units of transportation than
steam.
This now has almost displaced
the horse for all purposes save a
very few.
THE automobile, made possible
by the perfection Of the gasoline
engine-the pneumatic tire-the
electric starting, lighting and igni-
ton systems-goes farther in one
hour. over our smooth. hard-sur-
faced roads, than the f1eetest horse
can go in a day"

Diet Is Important Factor in Teeth

On the other hand, active decay
always vas associated with diets
which contained acid elements in
excess.
The giving Of various amounts Of
vitaminS, calcium, and phosphorus
failed to retard disintegration Of the
teeth.
They were convinced that any
type of diet or any factor or COM
bination Of factors which tended to
decrease the amount of a%lkalinity in
the tissue fluids and oral secretions
proportionately increased the La
bility of the enamel to decay.
Investigators have Il rned that it
is not possible to pin responsibility
on any one factor in the diet for
some of the extraordinary disturb
ances that may take place in the
human body.
The studies made in Hawaii re-
veal also the necessity for maintain
ing in the body a suitable alkaline
reaction. There also is involved the
question of suitable use Of the teeth
in chewing food.

type, or odontoclasia. OF all the
children examined, between so and
IS per cent at various ages up to G
years had this condition.
In these children the enamel was
soft in texture and easily scratched.
The teeth that were disintegrated
partially were found to have an ex-
traordinarily large amount of ce-
ment substance in the enamel.
Cause Of these changes in the
teeth was not apparent, since the
children we're not subject to mall
nutrition; most Of them had been
fed at the breast, and most Of them
had lived all their lives in a sun
flooded environment.
IN further prosecution of the at
tempt to find out why the teeth of
the children thus had di~sintegrated,
the observers found that the diets
of children 3 years of age or older
which contained fruits and yege-
tables in amounts sufficient to pro-
duce an alkaline reaction in the
ash invariably were associated with
sound enamel or arrested decay, re-

was constituted.

Men and Machines

DUT while DR.. Kintner thinks IT
ID likely that Americans will learn
to slow down, he doesn't expect ma
chinery 20 slow up.
ut is not likely that the speeds
of machines will be lessened, but.
on the contrary, these will be in

only in the more rapid wearing out
Of inanimate material without, how
ever, harmful influence on the ma
tons prosperity.
LAS one thinks back over the ages
since the world began, he can not
fail to be impressed by the great
change in speed Of transportation
during the last 100 years.
In colonial days, in ox-drawn
wagons, men and goods were trans
ported at speeds Of three or four
miles an hour.
Hardy horsemen, on the backs
Of the f~ieetest horses, could 60 but
fifty or sixty miles in a long days
journey. Months we're required to
cross this country from the east
coast to California.
Voyages TO Europe, on the old
sailing vessels, required six or sever
weeks under the most favorable
conditions of wind and weather.
Those who ventured on these
long journeys knew nothing Of
what occurred at home for months,
even though their stay abroad was
very brief.

Months Are Lost

CONGRESS should have been
" called when the moratorium
was proposed, if not before. If it
had been. we would be five or six
months ahead of where we are.
Because those five or six months
were lost, we find ourselves obliged
to act with precipitate haste and
that, too, at a time when plumbers
may cause irreparable harm.
While it is perfectly apparent that
congress should reduce expendi-
lures, provide adequate revenue,
and unemployment relief, as Presi-
dent Hoover says, such measures do
not cover the whole problem.
We are dealing with a fractions
world, as well as a distressed coun-
try.
This threatened raid on the dol
lar Of which the President speaks is
a recurrence in the studied policy of
certain European nations.

Solemn Tone Justified

DRESIDENT HOOVER is more
a. than justified in adopting a
solemn tone, but it comes rather
late to be effective. His s~elf-reliant
optimism was the real mistake.
Other people, most Of them not
rated as particularly wise, or ex-
perienced. have realized that con-
ditions we're serious these many
months.
What is more, they have real
lied that no progress was being
made toward recovery.
With exception of those not in
authority, few have regarded this
depression as an accident, or have
looked for its cure by miracle.
The great majority of people have
accepted the slump in business as
due to worldwide conditions, and
as calling for measures and re-
forms not only within the coun-
try, but affecting international re-
lations.

People Voice

Editor Times-Possibly you would
be interested in noting the "reduc-
TONS" which have been made in our
water bills for April and May.
One dated April IS showed: Con-
sumption, $500 cubic feet; old rate,
$9.77; new rate, s13.02; increase Of
$3.25, or 80 per cent.
One dated May II showed: Con-
sumption, 1000 cubic feet; old rate.
$6.13; new rate, $3.50; increase of
SAT, or 40 per cent.
These increases Of 80 and 40 per
cent are the most outrageous We
ever have experienced. II seems to
us that the Indianapolis Water Com
pany has incurred the enmity Of the
entire city Of Indianapolis and.
furthermore, is doing its bit in
engendering in the populace a spirit
Of discomfort and revolution, which
is becoming more prevalent every
DAY.
II seems TO us this is a short
sighted policy on the company's
part. and that 1t would do much bet

users rather than attempt to make

Democracy Is Slow

A DECREASED income and I'M
IA balanced budget were obvious
one year ago. The moratorium
which President Hoover himself pro-
posed left little doubt on that score.
The greatest mystery of all is why
no move was made to put the gov
ernmental machinery in operation,
to call congress in special session,
to make the earliest possible start
on what palpably was a Herculean
task.
1t is no secret that large de-
Lucrative bodies are slow to move.
that the chief weakness of a
democracy is its inability to act with
speed, and that adequate time must
be allowed for meeting any kind
Of a crisis.

SEEMS TO ME BY H FR0E%

I would not class De Valera
among the worlds most notable ras-
Gals, for he is not sufficiently i'm
aginable to take place in any list of
ten best villains. But 1 unhesitat-
ingly do nominate him for enrolment
among the gnat strainers. Even
his eloquent a~pologist, Francis
Hackett, calls the oath of allie
glance a "silken thread" but he
agrees with De Valera that it is
worth the risk Of trumpets and
bugle calls.
I can conceive of situations-in-
deed, I have known of situations
in which it was not unworthy for a
man to risk much for the sake of
symbols, even though their projec-
ton above the water line might be
but trivial.
But there eve was good reason
to die or to struggle over empty
ritual at a moment trimming with
factual threat. The explorer who
simultaneously is menaced by a mos
quito and a mountain lion always is
wise II he shoots the larger beast
first.

The Truly Vital Issue
TIE vALERA's passion and ore

TIE VALERA'S passion and pre-
IL occupation about an issue
which is largely literary and senti-
mental has diverted the attention of
Ireland from its proper concern with
land distribution and the escape
from economic slavery. AS far as
the toilers Of that much distressed
country go, De Valera is no more
than an intellectual version of
Chauncey Olcott.
Certainly this is not a world in
which the sparks should fly upward
and the flames consume the fiber
Of human beings in any fight over
empty and petty quarrels Of ma
tionalism.
The time cries out for those
commanders who realize that before
oil else man is a human being, shar-
ing in full measure his desperate
needs and Hottest hopes with all the
waking world.
Francis Hacket says Of the ST.
mon pure of any nation that they
either must go forward to homi-
eide or go backward to sophistry."
Neither he nor De Valera seems to
realize that armed conflict is the
very epitome Of sophistry.
1t is the glorifcation of that sort
Of thing which comes as the re-
suit of saying. THAT man was
wrong. I've proved it. Just look
and see-I've killed him!"
1t will take some one more elo-
quent than either Hacket or De
Valera to convince me that Ire
lands full and complete duty TO its
workers and peasants consists in
giving them guns to aim at objects
which are not edible.
I dot know how it sounds in
Gaelic, but I'm for that leader who
will sound the slogan, Bread, not
bulletsl'

Just Every Day Sense
OPPOSITION to the parasitic woman In our civ
.-.s.- L-.-a.. .o-o rnnrLnd
By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

OPPOSITION to the parasitic woman IN our CIV
~ i~lization Is growing more marked.
Yet that opposition hardly can be consistent so
long as men reserve to themselves the right TO select
the work women must do. And this trend is pro-
nounced in most utterances Of the average man. He
wants the woman to work, but he wants her to work
only at certain tasks which he will specify.
The whole hullabaloo is an insidious movement
70 get women back into the kitchen. And 1t now
Is being urged in the name Of patriotism.
Yet those who shout for this apparently fail to
realize that there are not half enough kitchens TO
hold the women and far too little domestic labor
to keep all the women busy, even for an hour a day
N6oREovER, we are told that women buy nearly
wi all the manufactured luxuries, or that they are
bought at our i a.ation, and that prosperity de-
pends uron a large .slling volume. How. then, could
taking away wor ems jobs actually help?
The whole thing is a muddle. Everybody knows
that. But let us at least try 10 be consistent and
reasonable when we plan for economic stability.
In the first place. two moves by men and women
are necessary. They must take every child out Of
factory, mill and field, and substitute adult labor
at q decent wage. They must give 70 every woman
the same money for the same work that men receive.
This is the sensible place to begin in our recon-
struction program. Then our educational efforts
should be altered. We spend too much money upon
those who can not take and do not really desire a
cultural education.
Boys and girls should be taught to work with their
hands as well as their heads, especially If their heads
are not so well stuffed with gray matter.
DOMESTIC labor must be lifted to that dignined
- status where it always has belonged. The
housewife must be given her rightful share OF family
income, not because her husband loves her, but be-
cause she has earned It.
We should advertise the home instead OF the cab
aret as the center Of true happiness. Family life
must be reinstated as a civiixing force and marriage
elevated TO an intelligent rather than a moving pic
ture. affair.
To get back to sanity. wen all have to oo-operats.

Cutting the SiIken Cord

A ND it is my contention that
IA canon De Valera is all hot
and bothered about a silken cord at
a time when his chief concern
should be the hempen ropes which
bind the Irish people. His color
blindness is Of that common sort
which sees all present difficulties in
the terms of political problems and
entirely overlooks the economic is
sues.
Ireland does not go hungry,
threadbare and shivering today be-
cause of any mumbo- Jumbo about
allegiance to a cardboard king. De
Valera has taken the oath himself,
without apparent injury to his soul.
It is quite beside the point to talk
of Irish freedom in terms Of verbal
release as long as the same burdens
of exploitation and landlordism rest
upon the back and shoulders of the
common man.
The revival of the native tongue
and culture may have appeal, but
1t should wait until more important
questions have been settled. After

STACKER" ACT IN FORCE
June 1

ON June 1, 1918, the general
~ Stacker" order in the United
States, which decreed that all men
not engaged in useful pursuits must
enter the army, became effective.
On the western front, the German
advance turned westward and
three new divisions Of storm troops
forced their way across the Ouroq
river and penetrated allied posi-
tions to a maximum depth Of six
miles.
Terrific fighting cor tinued in the
vicinity of Rheims as German forces
attacked continuously day after day.

ground on which they had estab-
lished their first line Of defense, lost
no important territory.

ued to tell OF great victories" but

tiers that the crucial stage Of the
drive had been passed.

FRANCIS HACKETT has written
Il for the Saturday Evening Post
a brilliant defense-indeed, a
eulogy-of canon De Valera, and
yet when I was done with the arti-
Gle I remained convinced that there
was a leader for whose principles
and purposes the world would do
well not to bleed and die.
And, what is more important, I
do not think that Ireland itself
should make the supreme sacrifice
for the scholar in the saddle.
Mr.. Hackett belongs TO the newer
school of biographers, in that he
does not hesitate to record the
errors and the deficiencies of the
subject whom he delights to honor.
This form Of approach sometimes
is referred to as undertaking, which
is a miSconception. The trick of the
modern literary portrait painters is
truly to include the warts, but to
present them in such way that they
may be accepted as decorations.
Thus, Francis Hackett is frank in
saying that De Valera is insular,
%truculent and courageous, and these
blemishes are put forth as if they
constituted authentic virtues.

M. E.. Tracy
Says:

President Hoover Is More
Than Justified to Use a
Solemn Tone, but 1t Comes
Rather Late to Be Effective.
NEW YORK, June president
- Hoover's address to the senate
should have been made at least a
year ago. Putting aside other rea-
sons why it was not made. there was
no senate in session to hear IL.
There was no senate In session,
because the President refused to call
a special meeting OF congress. One
need go nc further to fix part Of the
responsibility for Uncle Sans hnan-
cial difficulties. If congress has been
slow about its work, the President
showed no interest in getting 1t
started early.
The same crisis which calls for a
finished job now called for q begin
ming last June. The country has not
been taken by surprise. The emer-
gency which 1t faces has been in the
making since the fall Of 1929.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-06-01
Showing Speed

Speed, demanded by the country, is being shown
in Washington.
The senate has passed a revenue measure cal
culated to meet the latest estimates Of the treasury
as to the amount needed to balance the budget. The
house several weeks ago passed a revenue measure
calculated to do the same thing, although the sum
total Of taxes provided was smaller, just as the
treasury estimates Of the need then we're smaller.
Out Of tine obvious ~jockeying for position by the
President on the one hand and congress on the other
this essential fact emerges: The needed revenues
will be raised.
The two houses Of congress are not SO far apart
in principle as to make adjustment of the differ
ences between the tax bills a difficult matter for a
conference committee
The threat Of any real difficulty in that direction
was eliminated when the senate, after hearing the
Presidents belated willingness to accept a manu-
ufacturer's sales tax, rejected the proposal as posi-
lively as it had been rejected by the house.
The senate has moved rapidly in the last few
DAYS. In this it has revealed a realization of the
temper OF the country. 1t is to be hoped that the
remaining few steps toward completion Of the job
likewise will be taken quickly.
Possibility of similar speed is presented in the
matter Of relief legislation. The Democrats of the
senate are pretty well agreed on the Wagner pro-
gram that goes a long way to meet the program Of
the President.
The dispute over a comparatively small bond
issue for public works, already authorized, is shad-
owed into insignihcance by the immense pork bar
rel rolled out by Speaker Garner in the house. The
senate and the White House surely can reconcile
their differences and, presenting a united front, can
dispose Of Gamers patronage project in the man
ner it deserves.
They can do this for the reason that they will
have with them a pretty unanimous public senti-
ment, which, demanding food for the hungry, is not
going to be satisfied by the sight of congressman
gorging on political pie.
