a an accompaniment to the
4 n Chicago fair, and as a perma-
nent commemoration of the Cen
fury of Progress" a committee of
scientists has undertaken the prep
aration of a series of books deal
ing with the present-day develop
ment of the sciences.
The committee, known as the adj
visory committee on scientific pub
locations, is headed by DR.. Henry
Grew.
The books known as the Century
OF Progress Series" are being pub
hshed by Williams & Wilkins at 81
each. Six of them have been pub
llshed so far. 1t is planned to issue
fourteen more during 1882 and 1888.
Leading American scientists, each
an international authority in his
own field, have been selected to
write the books. Those issued so
far and their authors are as fol-
lows:

It's a failure

THOUGH the depression probably
L was brought to a head by tenn
porary plumbers, it was made pos
sible by permanent defects-defects
like the Smoot- Hawley bill, the
eighteenth amendment, the lack of
a power policy, and so on.
How can we hope for anything
like real recovery until those defects
have been overcome?
We can not, of course, and that is
where this session of congress, as
well as the Hoover administration,
has fallen down.
Admitting that it was necessary to
repair damages and provide for i'm
mediate needs first, we can not ex-
pect to get back on our feet with
out reshaping public policy to serve
those purposes which have been dis
closed by the depression as essential.
We can not expect prosperity to
return as long as gang rule throt-
ties domestic trade and an uncon-
scionable tariff balks foreign trade.

CUDDEN, complete obstruction of
- the bowels always is a serious
condition. In most instances it is
due to some anatomical change that
has taken place, such as the push
ing of one loop of bowel inside an
other.
Sometimes it is due to the ac-
ton of bacteria or infection. Occa-
sionally it may be due to the growth
of tunors, and in a few instances is
due to the taking of food which,
by its bulk or other qualities, can
nto be moved onward.
In a recent review of the subject,
DR.. Albert H. Elliott has collected
a number of cases that are of great
interest.
Cherry stones, beans, figs, oats,
potatoes. apple, corn, grapes, poppy
seeds, sauerkraut, gooseberries, rails
ms, popcorn and bran are some Of
the food substances that have been
incriminated in such distractions.

HEALTH SERVICE --
Swallowing Seeds Is Dangerous

ture easily reveals the place at
which the obstruction has occurred,
and in many instances the nature
of the obstruction.
In several instances operation has
been avoided by injection of fluid
into the lower bowels. In one in
stance large quantities Of grape
skins and seeds we're washed out.
In another case large amounts of
popcorn were recovered over pc
Rod of week.
Whenever person complains Of
severe. sudden pain in the bowel
with the appearance of shock, with
a discontinuance Of the passing of
waste and sometimes with dis
continuance of the passing of gas,
the physician must determine by
use of Xray and by other examina-
tons whether obstruction exists.
If there is actual obstruction of
the bowel, he must take immediate
measures to relieve the obstruction,
or death is inevitable.

Good and Bad

TITO sum it up, congress made a

courage foreign trade, or straighten
out the Russian situation.

should have ignored Muscle Shoals

amendment, and not one afterward.

Battles to Be Refought

TINE conflict between President
Il Hoover and Speaker Garner,
which has been going on for the
last two months, was primarily par
tisan and will exercise considerable
influence on the coming campaign.
The President got his way with
regard to individual loans by the
Reconstruction Finance Cooperation,
but Speaker Garner got his way
with regard to publicity for loans.

We are going to fight the battle
all over again between now and next
November. Indeed, we are going
to fight many battles all over again,
some of which congress tried to set
tie and some of which it tried to
sidestep.
Great as its work might have
been, congress sidestepped more than
it settled. This was because it gave
attention to temporary needs,
rather than permanent problems.
Most of our permanent prob
lens remain exactly where they
were seven months ago.

The greatest progress in the last

1t is interesting to note how much
the world has changed in the Cen

was no electric light in 1888, no
electric motor, no automobile, no
telephone and no radio.
The railroad still was a novelty.

road in the world at the time was
135 miles long.
Transportation depended chiefly
upon the stage coach, and so did

but there was TO telegraph. Five
years elapsed before the telegraph
was patented.
There were no photographs in
1888. Daguerre made his first pic
lures in 1889.
Medical science was at low ebb
in 1888. Epidemics of typhoid ma

The world has travelled a long wav
during the Century of Progress .
and Chicago has plenty to celebrate

ALLIED DRIVE BEGINS

-
|NN July 10, 1918, French and
" American troops launched a
terrific counter-attack against the
onrushing German forces on a front
of nearly thirty miles. Their gain
was as much as six miles.
The attack, made without artiI-
lery preparation, took the Germans
completely by surprise and they
were thrown back in considerable
confusion.
Several villages and thousands Of
prisoners were taken in the DAYS
fighting.
1t marked the beginning Of the
first major allied offensive in more
than year.
American army officers estimated
German casualties for the day at
more than twenty thousand, Of
which 5000 were prisoners.
British troops in Picardy also re-
suned the offensive. advancing
more than mile in a much smaller
operation.

Editor Times-Just suppose the
workers of this country, of sudden,
got wise" to themselves. There
were 100000 males and 100000
females, including children 10 years
old and over, engaged in "gainful
occupations in 1880, according to a
report of the bureau of the census,
just made public on occupation
statistics"
Wage earners, to be specific, are
the voters and the Spenders-the
latter including the taxpayers.
The federal tax law is operating.
How do the workers fare?
There are approximately twelve
million women workers; most of
them have to keep up appearances ;"
to hold their jobs. Cosmetics are
no longer a luxury, but daily
necessity with them. Every time
the five-and-ten store girl on her
meager wages spends a dollar on
cosmetics, she contributes a dime to
Uncle Sam, as does every other
woman in this land of the spree
and home of the knave.
How many dimes would Uncle get
if only the so-called rich" women
used face powder, tooth paste, etc.?
How fat would the tax roll get if
it depended on the sales of Rolls
Royces and Cadillacs and other
high-priced autos? Who buys the
Fords, the Chevrolets and other
popular makes and provides the
gasoline? Who buys most of the
radios?
Who will write most (not the
largest) bank checks at cents
each? The answer is obvious, as to
where most of the nuisance tax"
money will come from.
No one particularly wants to
soak the rich," but there are mil
lions of citizens who'd like to see a
more equitable distribution of taxes.
If the millions of men and women
workers who are legal voters should
vote as unit, candidate could
not be elected dog catcher if the
people Q1Qn WaQL MN.
But the workers probably will go
along grumbling-and paying. If
everybody got wise to himself
wouldn't that be lot of wisdom!

investigation, finds that federal control of the hold

plains that in trying to estimate the accuracy of the
accounts OF its licensees it has been hampered con-
Stantly by the fact that holding companies are able
to impose charges for services to their subsidiaries
and then retain control of all records showing
whether these charges justified.
The commission, therefore, recommends that it be
given full access to holding company records to
supervise service contracts between holding and
operating companies and also authority to protect
