GREAT ADVENTURE.

A MEXICAN history holds no mystery deepe
n than the one which surrounds the activi-
ties Of white men in America before the arrival
of Columbus.
1t is established clearly by now that GER
tain Viking explorers did get to the North
American continent century or more ahead
Of Columbus. They slid down the coast of
Nova Scotia as far as the Chesapeake, and in
at least one spot they fought deadly battle
with Indians.
They are also reported to have landed on
the southern shore of Hudsons Bay, and there
is partly substantiated legend that an ad-
venturous band went overland from there as
far as Minnesota.
All of this is called to mind by the report
of two Psychologists that the prehistoric cop
per mines of the upper peninsula Of Michi-
gan worked by the mound builders countless
centuries ago, also were worked by Vikings
The mound builders whose civilization
covered a large part of the Ohio and Miss
isSippi valleys, got their copper from Michigan.
Then they vanished, and the rowing Indian
tribes who succeeded them seem to have been
ignorant of the use of copper. But the archie
ologists now believe that bands of Vikings
somehow got to the shore of Lake Superior and
took ore from the mines which the mound
builders had abandoned.
The story is as fascinating mystery as
American history affords.
Northern Michigan, in the pref Columbian
era, must have been about as far from white
civilization as any spot on the planet It
was infinitely more remote than any spot on
earth is now.
Byrd, wintering within shouting distance
of the south pole, will be far closer to his
homeland than the copper mining Vikings of
upper Michigan were.
How did they get there, anyway? What
strange bit of restlessness, what urge to
penetrate the depths of mystery and danger
led them so far into the wilderness? How
far beyond Michigan did they wander?
Is there any truth in the old story that the
lght-complexioned Mandam Indians really
descended from some lost band of Morse
men?
We probably never will get an answer to-
these questions An impenetrable darkness
has settled over that part of American his
tory. But the mere thought of these sea
wanderers in their eagle-winged caps dig
ging copper ore from the pits along Lake
Superior sets ones imagination, working. There
is an eerie fascination to the thought, mex

Long overcrowded, business and
the professions are unable to make
room for all the young things who
hope to enter them. There are more

M. Tracy Says:

DR. EDWIN w. KENIMERER of Princeton
- university thinks we should stabilize the
dollar at about sc cents and get back on the
gold standard. Barring the specific amount, ne
is right Continued fluctuation Of the dollar,
such as now is taking place, only can destroy
that confidence without which recovery is I'M
possible.
1t has been apparent for some time that
devaIued dollar is necessary to relieve debtors.
Recent experiences suggest that this can not
be accomplished by trading in gold or manlpu-
lating foreign exchange We have succeeded in
getting the dollar down to 81 or So cents in
European markets. but that means little to aver
age Americans, as is plainly shown by the alb
sence of favorable stock, price and wage re-
actions in this country.
Dollars aren't any easier for the average
worker, merchant or manufacturer to get than
they we're before the r. F. G. began its shadow
boxing. The demand for imitation grows apace,
and if something isn't done it will presently be
come irresistible
7 assume that the administration has sane
l. toned trading in gold as the most practical
means by which to discover just where the dollar
should be stabilized, but doubt whether it has
gained much enlightenment thus far.
The fact that we can't buy very much gold,
though we are offering 81 more for an ounce
than London is willing to pay indicates dan
Europeans seem sold on the idea that the
dollars are going lower. That and that alone
offers the explanation of their reluctance to
exchange gold for dollars. This reluctance will
grow as the dollar sinks, which could have been
foreseen by any student of human nature.
Instead Of discovering what the value of the
dollar should be, we are getting normal re-
action Of the speculative mind. That doesn't
help much, does it?
Meanwhile, the lack of tangible benefit to our
hard-presSed debtors and equally hard pressed
industries is furnishing infiationists with a
powerful argument. Why not cut out the JOSH
ing they say, and give us paper money? Isn't
the governments promise to pay just as good
on a treasury note as bond?
IT sounds plausible. but the government must
i sell a bond before its promise to pay means
anything, and that represents an effective check
on the amount of bonds that can be issued
When it comes to paper money, however, no
such check exists. That is why sensible people
dread to see the printing press start
The cry for imitation is rooted in high-priced
unstable dollars. dollars that call for too much
labor and too much merchandise, dollars that
increase the burden Of every debtor, whether
large or small, dollars that have become play
things of the gambling world.
Such situation calls for action even if we
don't know the exact point at which to begin
The possibility of stabih1ng the dollar a cent
too high or cent too low is Of little consequence
compared to the obvious danger we run in not
stabilizing it.

Still an Error

A ND at this point Mr.. Utley falls
L n into an attitude which seems
to me fallacious even though it is
perfectly familiar. It is Mr. Utleys
idea that at the last national cleo
ton the country definitely rejected
all socialistic ideas, because it gave
only small proportion of its vote
to Norman Thomas, the Socialist
candidate.
The Socialist vote in this coun-
try never has been an accurate in
dication of the extent of radical be-
lief. Long before 1882 both the
Populists and Progressives tapped
the till of Socialist economic phi
losophy and borrowed a plank or
two. Indeed, there has been no
time in the last twenty years in
which a considerable minority of
the voters we're not in favor of
sweeping changes in the economic
system. 1t is not the principles Of
Socialism which estrange followers,
but the name itself. And sometimes
while applauding the ideas voters
have refused to accept the leader
ship.
Certain revolutionary changes were
bound to occur in the year 1888,
no matter which candidate was
chosen. Herbert Hoover very pos
sibly would have tried a technique
unlike the present experimental de-
vices current in Washington, but it
would have been entirely beyond his
power to restore the economic setup
which existed when he assumed Of
flee in 1920.
am not at all Of the opinion
that everything done or about to be
done by the present administration
is without flaw. But at the very
least President Roosevelt and his
chief advisers have had some con-
ception of the fact that they are
dealing with rapidly changing
world. The thing that puzzles me
in the criticism of the gentlemen
on the right is bland assumption
that mastery of the crisis may be
obtained by simple policy of drift.

Loss of Blood Is Serious Matter

Apparently, the severe, acute ulcer
of the stomach is the most COM
mon cause for vomiting blood. Next
to that are conditions affecting the
gallbladder and the appendix, asso-
ciated with chronic ulcers in the
stomach.
Then there are cases Of harden
ing of the liver and the rare condi-
lions, such as dilated veins in the
esophagus or the tube leading from
the throat to the stomach, as well
as various disturbances of the blood
which result in frequent hemor-
rhages.
One of the greatest medical dis
coveries is blood TRANSMISSION. This
permits the physician to restore
blood to the patient and helps to
prevent the continued weakness
and shock which result from Sc
we're hemorrhages of any kind.
Under any circumstances, the
loss of blood is a serious matter, de-
handing the best type Of medical
attention.

The leading citizen who en-
gineered the Butler Fairview deal
is the same gent who just now is
engaged in putting over the Citi-
zens Gas Company grab.
In the gas grab we who are not
stockholders will be compelled to
pay hack at par for deprecated
gas stock, pay 100000 yearly
rental to this same leading citizen
for seventy-two years for his
holdings in Indianapolis gas stock;
100000 on easy money borrowed
from Uncle Sam, and 100000
yearly for a municipal ownership
tax, all for WORKOUT gas plant
now operating on a deficit. Then
we must pay so per cent more for
our gas to take care of the above
fixed charges.
This deal will make Sam insult
turn green with envy when he
hears of it.

:: A Woman's Viewpoint

We probably shall never live to
see such conditions as prevailed dur
ing the boom that burst in 1929.
The oncoming generations must lay
aside their gentleman and lady Of
fee roles and prepare themselves for
less swivel-chair work, and for the
girls some Of that work must be
done in the kitchen.
And wherein, pray, lies the in
dignity of such labor? Nowhere ex-
cept it BE- in the mind Of the one
person who should have ennobled it,
the housewife herself. The girl who
works in the kitchen should have
the same consideration, the same
living wage, that is paid to the girl
in the office. But she seldom gets
it. We women boast about being
good workers. Can we learn to be
good bosses2 r.

THE MAN FOR THE PLACE

VXTILLIAM c. BULLITT is obviously an
w inspired choice as this country's first
ambassador to Russia after our sixteen years
of diplomatic separation.
During most of those years Mr. Bullitt has
given time and effort toward the restoration
Of normal relations. No persona has done
more, If any has done as much, to end the
needless estrangement. No American under
stands Russia better and none is more capable
CT making America understood in Russia.

Il erfuI foes of the new deal speak
in terms of repeating this or scrap
ping that without regard to going
into any detail as to what they pur-
pose to put in its place.
Although the present difficulties Of
the administration are palpable, I
feel that on the whole the Roose-
velt program is working far better
than many Of the pesSimists pre-
tend. After all, many Of the re-
dictionaries are not so much aroused
by the belief that the new deal
won't work at all, but by the fear
that maybe it will. They are in the
position Of saying, even if it works
I wouldn't like it,"
Not in twenty years have I heard
the names of Washington, Jefferson,
Lincoln and the Pilgrim fathers
called upon in so many gatherings
Of big business. The orators seem
to feel that since these hallowed
heroes are all dead, it is safe to
assume that they were all of the
same opinion. It is, I think, quite
illogical for the same gentlemen to
call upon both Washington and JEFF
ferson in the same speech. The eco
nomtc and political gulf which lay
between these two great Americans
was at least as wide as that which
exists between Roosevelt and Hoo
yer.
AS for the Pilgrim fathers, I
doubt that any one Of them would
be of the slightest use as an ad-
wiser on our banking and agri-
cultural problems.

by HAYWOOD BRoUN.

NEW YORK, Nov. ls.-I do not
~ know why I should be sur
prised after all these years. but I
constantly am being startled by
what seems to me the extraordinary
stupidity Of industrial leaders.
In. spite of all that has happened
in the last four years there are any
number Of men who insist upon
rushing into print to state views
based on the apparent assumption
that the nation was never afflicted
py any malady more serious than a
slight cold. For instance. a Mr..
Utley of Detroit has just made
speech in which he declared the
establishment of the new deal has
confronted the United States with
"the greatest crisis since the Pill
grims landed"
I can not quite make out whether
Mr.. Utley wants to return to the
economic standards of Puritan days
or just give the country back to the
Indians. At any rate, he regards
Franklin D. Roosevelt as Social
iStic."

DR.. Walter Scott, Athearn having
spent his life in the field Of educa-
tiion, necessarily has established a
reputation in the communities which
he has served. 1t is inconceivable
that board of trustees of a re-
ligious college would fail to ascer-
tain the nature of the reputation of
a man whom they contemplated
placing in the presidents chair.
Therefore, we take it for granted
that the board of Butler university,
insofar as it was capable Of judging,
found DR.. Athearns credentials en-
tirely satisfactory.
DR.. Athearn is an author of note,
having written number of books.
His printed page speaks for itself.
That these outstanding citizens who

acquaint themselves with DR..
Athearn's literary work or to pass
upon it's merit, is unbelievable. Con-

the matter of the confusion which
exists in certain rather tardy minds.
I think that too much stress has
been put on the word recovery"
To some this means an attempt to
bring back, the days of what was
somewhat inexactly called Coolidge
prosperity" Undoubtedly this is
the notion even in the minds of
certain officials, but a greater num-
ber-and the more influential ones,
I believe-are working for nation
in which distribution is much more
widespread.
In some senses we are all So
cialiSts. For instance, the papers
have printed the picture of an at
tractive young woman, Fl, who has
just come into the complete control
Of a fortune of fifty million dollars.
There is no record that the young
woman has performed any socially
useful task Of any kind or that she
would have the slightest conception
Of how to go about it if she did.
Now, surely even very incom-
plete MARKHAM must admit that
there is something fundamentally
wrong with a system which permits
any such preposterous state Of
affairs.
