revision a moratorium necessary, the politi-
clans continued to deny the facts President Hoover
instead Of handling the matter frankly let congress
adjourn and then declared an unauthorized mora
forum Of year.
This sharp practice, in turn, created a congress
sona situation in which it politically inexpedient
to attempt than ratification of the Presidents
past action. So the problem left in the air again
Now, with the Lausanne reparations settlement
paving the way for debt settlement, and with the
debtors making provision for their December pay
mens, the politicians in Washington are resortnq to
subterfuge again.
Since the politicians determined to let election
politics interfere with honest and intelligent debt
settlement it is fortunate that publicspited group
is going to force the sealthiy discussed subject into
the open
Instead of talking sentiment this group is putting
the subject the dollars and cents basis where it
belongs Alfred P. Sloan Jr, president of General
Motors who heads the committee of sixty-seven lead
ers of industry, labor and farmers says they intend
to find out what debt revision or cancellation would
mean in terms of jobs for the American unemployed
and of foreign markets for depression ridden Aer-
companies.
They will find, with Nicholas Murray Butler presi-
dent of Columbia university and of the Carnegie en-
dowment for international peace that: Every econ
omst of Importance and every student of international
affairs of authority agrees the present situation as to
so-caled ntergovernmental war debts in respect to
which the United States is the creditor nation is an
impossible one and must be re-examned and revised
"The alternative is between revising these debt
settlements, receiving less nothing, and re-
storing prosperity to people, carrying forward
indefinitely the present situation with all it involves
in loss in want, in misery, and in steadily growing
unemployment"
They also will find if they go deep enough that
the debt question is inseparabe part of the larger
problem of disarmament and tariffs. 1t will do no
good to reduce European debts merely to permit
larger European expenditures for arms; nor to lib
crate funds for foreign trade when that trade is
blocked by high tariff walls.
With the loan committee working from the bust
ness angle and Senator Borah campaigning for joint
debt armament reduction agreement perhaps both
Hoover and Roosevelt be smoked out before
election.

Just Every Day Sense
By Mrs. Walter Ferguson

CHARLES CHAPLIN, master OF pathos never has
~ given more moving performance than when
ne appeared in a Los Angeles court room to plead
for normal childhood for his sons, whose mother
wishes them to enter the movies
The sympathy of parents everywhere, will turn
inStlnctively to the father in this case
ADULTS who use innocent little children to get easy
money always have called forth public indignation
Men and women are outraged at the idea of babies
working for their elders
Yet the child who actually performs manual labor
While he helps his parents get food and shelter is
far more fortunate, in many respects than the one
forced into unnatural routineS
And there is no more unnatural life in our ma
onal scene than that of the moving picture people
The grownupS who engage in this occupation have
the greatest difficulty in leading normal lives They
must fight continually for privacy which is the boon
of the common man.
To succeed, they must live in an almost per-
petual spotlight And we know what too much pub
clty does for adults Only the strongest can over
come its handicap. What, then, must be its influ-
ence upon impreSSionable children, whose ideas so
easily are colored by their surroundings?
nNE may give son riches and fame and honor
~ but unless. along with these, one also bestows
happy, carefree childhood all other gifts
worthless.
When we look back through the years and visual
lie ourselves as We used to be, know that no
memories are so beautiful and precious those of
infancy
treasure recolectonS OF some humble but cosy home
OF laughter and of love!
The hooks in which boy plays through long days
OF babyhood will retain their glamour and charm for
ever. In spirit he always may return to them
Charles Chaplin, the founding, knows the terrorS
been more magnifcently great than in his role Of
father.

Substances in Nose Harmful

the manipulation in the nose may
be harmful
Under such circumstances, it fire.
quently is necessary to put the child
to sleep with an anesthetic. In
some cases, the use of a little local
anesthetic to the membranes of the
nose will permit the withdrawal of
the foreign body
Under such circumstances it usu-
ally is we'll to wrap the chllds body
tightly in a sheet to prevent tossing
and throwing of the arms.
Any foreign substance inhaled
into the tubes that lead to the
lungs or into the lungs themselves
constitutes an immediate menace to
life.
Under such circumstances, there
must be no delay. Therefore, an
X-ray picture as soon as possible will
aid the physician in finding and re-
moving such substance.
Special instruments have been de-
veloped which permit the placing of
a tube down into the lung and,
associated with this, there are spe-
cial lights, forceps and other de-
vices for grasping. cutting up and
removing these objects.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

may pass the noStrils and fall into
the throat, or they may fall from
the throat into the tubes that lead
to the lungs.
Sometimes children who are hew-
ing foreign substance suddenly in
hale and in that way get them into
the lungs.
Whenever anything gets lodged in
the nose, there follows Immediately
swelling and redness; and just as
soon as the germs get to work, an
offensive purulent discharge.
The substance discharged causes
redness of the upper lip, with some
times Inflammation and infection.
The discharge that comes from a
nose that has been stopped UP by
foreign body is much more offensive
and irritating than the usual dis
charge from a cold.
Of course, there is just one thing
to do in such cases and that is to
get the foreign body out. A ply
sician usually can do this con-
veniently, if the substance is soft
like bean, by grasping it with a
forcepS.
However, in the case of such hard
objects as buttons or pieces of chalk,

suffered so much as it has in the
last three years?
AS for protection of American la
Dor by protective tariff, can't
think Of anything that can compare
with this forgotten promise. If
that means that people have been
promised that they no longer will
get to work for living, then the
promise was well taken care of.
How about the effective protection
Of agriculture? We readily can see
who has been protected from the
Iowa farmer strikes. Those farm
ers are not to be blamed one iota
for the ways and means they have
used to express themselves in con-
tempt OF their forgotten promise.
If calling out the United States
army to drive out of Washington
the bonus army and their families is
considered a generous policy, then
generosity has become very cruel
and inhumane.
Judging from the promises made
by the G. o. P. candidate in 1923, I
hardly feel that I shall support him
in his coming campaign. 1 feel
that he has miserably let the peo-
pie down, and that ne should not
be given the second chance to do so.
In view of these facts, the vo-
tiers should think twice before vot-
ing in November.

Speed Grows Greater

A T the present time, Eddington
IA believes that the universe is
expanding at full speed. But he
does not believe that its speed was
always that
He believes that it started slowly
and gradually worked up to its full
speed.
But even assuming that the ex-
pansion was once slower than it is.
he feels certain that the present
state of the universe indicates that
it can not be more than ten billion
years old.
One consequence of Eddingtons
view is that theories concerning the
evolution of stars must be revised.
II stars reached their present con-
dition in ten million years instead of
fifteen trillion years, it means that
stellar evolution is a much faster
process than formerly was imagined.

Before any one Shudders at the
career of Mr.. Coolidge and passes
by on the other side of the street,
let him first mutter to himself,
There but for the grace of Cod
And the same rule should be
applied to Herbert Hoover. Many
have written of the gentleman in
the White House and used phrases
and terms which never should be
applied to the President of the
United States.
In the first place, fair play always
has demanded that the hand of the
aggreSsor should be stayed when it
is lifted against man who is down.
1t is not wanton and accidental
that most of our Presidents happen
to be what they are. Politics is a
mill which grinds slowly and ex-
ceeding coarse. A man who is cut
to meet the harsh requirements of
passing muster in a national con-
vention starts from far behind
scratch in the first place.

Mistake on Mistake

MANY of these veterans were
WI overseas and up against the
German army. All of them were put
through a system of training which
sharpened their wits.
They are not stupid, or Squeamish.
They know how to talk and think
straight from the shoulder, and they
don't have to be told what is back
of a smoke screen.
This latest attempt of the Hoover
administration to get around an
embarrassing situation by lambast-
ing the bonus marchers only dis
gusts them. 1t has little to do with
the issue which interests them most,
and on which q vast majority of
them have been instructed how to
act
The strategy is not only obvious,
but irritating. 1t represents the
same kind of mistake as did that
night raid on the B. E. F.
The Hoover administration could
do worse than study Governor
Roosevelt's method of handling the
Walker case, or Mayor McKee's
method of handling the Commun-
lists.

Picking VOte-Getter

DOSES in little rooms and dele
- gates in crowded halls hardly
are assembled to seek virtues and
rare attachments. They want some
body who can carry Ohio.
1t is not a task for the fine or
finicky. Yet to keep this kindly
appraisal fair and just, I must adj
NIT that I have known few men
who were ruined by their contact
with practical politics. They we're
of a temper to fall, even before
somebody put them in jeopardy with
nominating speech.
Z 1t is not a task for the fine or
the f1nicky. The life of Calvin
Coolidge might have been a bet
ter and a sweeter thing if some
passer-by years ago had snatched
The Life of Garfield" from his
hands and put in its place some
thing by Old Sleuth.

1T SEEMS TO ME BY HE EY04%

TT is not quite fair to blame it all
l. upon list books, but Calvin
Coolidge's recent confession as to
what he read in boyhood will make
many more sympathetic toward the
man.
Anybody brought up on that same
fare well might have done likewise.
The poor lad never had chance.
No boy living under ideal condi-
lions or anything approaching them
would turn to THE Life of James a.
Garfield" or Hillard's Sixth Read
err" Somebody sold Calvin the I'M
fortunate idea that reading was a
thing to be done for profit rather
than pleasure.
From books one was to gather a
somewhat forbidding thing called
character" BY studiously applying
yourself to some stodgy treatise of
righteous life, impressionable youth
was to be nodded into similar pat
tern.
Sterny ROCk-RIbbed Land
NEITHER the climate of his ma
IN tive state nor his Puritan
heritage gave Calvin Coolidge much
of a break, and when repression was
piled upon repression through prig-
gish books, Calvin was doomed
practically from the start.
Some have held it to be surpriS-
ing that he became President. To
me it seems inevitable. With his
background, he was not fitted for
anything else.
Many have maintained that life
in the White House seldom is hap
Ply. Obviously there are drawbacks
in being the nations chief execu-
tive. But there are consolationS~for
all that. We happen to be a kindly
people.
Standards which are applied to
other men we never press against
a President. We expect very little,
and we certainly get it.

CHILDREN, and particularly in
~ farts, are likely to push into
their mouths almost anything that
they happen to pick up. Some
times they also try the nose.
A substance of fairly small size
taken into the mouth is not likely
to be harmful, provided that it is
clean, even after it is swallowed
because the digestive passages are
big enough in most instances to let
it pass through in from eighteen to
twenty-four hours.
However, the breathing passages
are much smaller than the diges-
tive tube; moreover, they are curved
and more rigid, SO that it is much
more difficult for any substance
pushed into the nose to get through
into the throat, or to get out of the
breathing passages altogether.
Any substances pushed into the
nose, such as buttons, beans or
eraserS, which are some of the
things that can be pushed in the
nose, may get lodged there; they

Studies the Atom

MOST remarkable of all is the
NI fact that Eddington arrived at
this conclusion not from study Of
the heavens, but from study Of the
invisible atom.
"Einstein first concluded space
may be curved and the universe ex-
panding from considerations of rela-
tivity," Sir Arthur told me. He is
quite right in now saying that the
theory of relatively does not offer
conclusive evidence on this point.
II arrived at my conclusions from
a study of the atom. I undertook to
develop the mathematical equations
which would represent the proton
and electron, the fundamental units
of matter in wave mechanics"
Wave mechanics, as many readers
know, is the name given to the
theory which seeks to explain the
atom as consisting of pulsating
waves of electricity.
In so doing" Sir Arthur con-
tinued, I found my equations for
the proton and electron indicated
they existed in curved space.
Furthermore, 1 found they con-
tanned the same co-efficient of ex-
pansion that had previously been
worked out for the universe at large.
This co-efficient is equal to the
mass of the electron multiplied by
the square of the velocity of light
and divided by the square of the
electric charge of the electron
The fact that this co-eficient
occurred in the equation for the
atom as we'll as for the universe has
convinced me of its reality"

Should Have STAYED Silent

TN one sense Calvin Coolidge did a
Il dreadful thing in stepping out of
office. He shattered the myth
almost Immediately. His silence was
supposed to conceal a natural gift
for quaint and telling expression.
Unofficial report described him as a
sort of cross between Ralph Waldo
Emerson and Josh Billings.
But once back in that fierce glare
which beats upon all men in private
life, CALVIN Coolidge proceeded to
show up himself and the kindly as
sociates who had lied like gentlemen
to save the national honor.
I think that few will deny the as
sertion that Mr.. Cooldiges con-
tributions to current journalism
marked practically a new low in a
noble profession. Until he began to
write to the magazines, it was all
but impossible to conceive of any
American doing more to cast a
living language into wooden moulds.
But I hold that it is a good thing
that taste should set some limita-
ton upon such criticism as is
written of our men in public life.
And if not taste, then a certain
humility upon the part of the fault
finders.

The Hoover Administration
Is Painting q HOrrendOuS
Picture of the B o n u S
Marchers to Escape Gen.
sure By the American Le-
giOn.
NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-As read
IN ers of this column know, I mad
little sympathy with the bonus
marchers. I regarded their expedi-
ton to Washington as futile at
tempt to put over an impractical
demand at an inopportune time.
But, and without any change Of
mind regarding all that, resent eff
forts of the Hoover administration
to alibi itself on the ground of their
alleged wickedness.
This is late in the day for Attor-
General Mitchell to be talking
about the largest aggregation of
criminals" ever gathered in the ma
tional capital.
Whatever one may think Of their
performance, the bonus marchers
have been driven out of Washington
and dispersed. That should close
the incident. The public is not in
terested in f1ngerprint records which
apparently were made for political
use.
If there was any such a dangerous
aggregation of crooks as Mr.. Nit
chell asserts, why did the govern
ment pay their fares home? Are we
to understand that the federal au-
thorities did nothing but buy tickets
after making the discoveries they
now publish? Bunk

Tries to PIaCate Legion

THE Hoover administration is
l. painting an horrendouS picture
Of the bonus marchers for just one
reason. 1t hopes to escape cenSuse
by the American Legion for the
drastic, ruthless manner in which it
drove them out of Washington.
That is not meeting the real is
sue. It's just a cheap maneuver to
prevent action that might ALLEVIATE
votes.
If the Hoover administration
were frank and straightforward it
would forget the bonus marcherS
and talk about the bonus. 1t lacks
the sand to take another such raz-
ring as F. Trubee DAWSON got.
1t has MacNider and Pat Hurley
all set to spout. If the signs are
propitious, they will do their stuff.
If not, they will do what they can
to offset the blunder by little log
rolling on the side.

Expansion Rate Estimated

Expansion Rate Estimated
CTARTING with this co-efficient,
~ Eddington has calculated the
radius of the universe and the rate
at which it is expanding.
THE radius of curvature of the
universe is about one hundred mil
lion light years." Sir Arthur told
me. That means that if you trav-
eled in one direction for about six
hundred million light years you
would get back to your starting
point"
3 A light year is equal to six tril-
lion miles.
THE universe is expanding at
such rate it will double its size
in thirteen hundred million years"
he continued. BY that time, all
the spiral nebulae now within view
of our giant telescopes will have
disappeared from view.
Il do not believe, however. our
own galaxy will break up. I be-
lieve that gravity will hold the
milky way together"

Given Unfair Deal

I HAD had quite a bit to say about
Il the bonus off and on. Brick
bats and bouquets by mail have run
about f1fty-f1fty. 1 am not taking
back a thing, but there is one point
on which wish to make myself
clear.
look upon the veterans as among
our best men. Feeling that way,
believe that they are open to reason
and fair dealing at all times. I be-
lieve that if they had been ap-
preached properly and properly
dealt with, all this misunderstood
ing could have been avoided.
The veterans have not been met
squarely and openly by the Hoover
administration. They are not being
met Squarely and openly now, there
always has been a left-handed, OBJ
scure phase to negotiations-too
many Darkroom conferences, too
much cleverness, too many flank
movements.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-09-13

would seem extremely trivial. In
any profession, or even in large
business, such men would not be
taken seriously. But once political
preferment has come to them, a
kindly veil is drawn.
Consider, for instance, the vast
national conspiracy which went on
to make Mr.. Coolidge seem a little
more weighty than he really was
The whole legend of Calvin's wit
and native shrewdness was a piece
CT consummate charity.
1t is our practice to put all Presi-
dents upon some such dole of good
will. We pretend to believe that
underneath it all there must be
more than meets the eye.

TAKE $4,000 PRISONERS
September Is

ON Sept. 10, 1918, the First Amer
~ lean army completely wiped
out the st. Mihiel salient, taking
more than $4,000 prisoners and ex-
tending the battle line past Norroy,
Jaulny, st. Benoit and Herbeuville
Their net advance was as much
as eighteen miles and their gains
extended over a front of thirty-five
miles.
Territory taken during the two
days fighting had been in the hands
Of the Germans since 1914.
Wiping out of the salient removed
the threat of a German flank at
tack on Verdun and threatened the
German fortress of Metz.
French troops on the Aisne re-
newed their attacks and advanced
more than two miles on an eleven
mile front.
The British steamer Galway Cas-
tie was sunk and 189 persons were
lost.

and receive a number, which must
be carried on each side of the bow
in contrasting color, SO as to be
distinctly visible, and legible, in let
tiers not less than three inches high.
The law pertains to motor boats of
less than fifteen tons, used either
for pleasure or commercial purposes.
Only exceptions are public vessels
and boats sixteen feet and under
when temporarily equipped with de-
tachable motors. A boat over six
teen feet. equipped with an cupboard
motor, must register the same as
an inboard motor boat.
