CHILDREN SUFFER

nNE OF the most unfortunate consequences
~ OF the depression now is becoming ap-
parent in measurable degree-its adverse eff
feet on the health of children.
Not so long ago the country was being as
sured that public health was better than it
was in the days before the question Of where
to get food became problem for millions of
persons Many doubted these optimistic
statements. but figures were offered to sup
port them.
Now We are being told a different story
The childrens bureau OF the department of
labor finds that one-hfth of the nations
children are below par" and the depression
is directly blamed for this condition.
Material has been collected over period
Of two years. and the conclusion is reached
that one child in five Of preschool and school
age is suffering from the effects OF poor nu-
triton inadequate housing CT lack OF medi-
cal care. In many instances. anxiety and the
feeling of worry where there was no work
have also left marks.
Naturally localities where conditions have
been more favorable and where relief measures
have been adequate make the best showing
In other localities the proportion of children
below par has reached truly appalling figures.
And malnutrition among mothers is show
ing its effects on newborn infants and nurs-
lings. although relief agencies for the most
part have been successful in supplying sur
milk for babies.

DUT these dioramas. it seems to
- me. grossly falsify the under
lying idea put forward by Mr.. Oar
win. He gave us the theory OF
natural selection and of differences
not only among the species. but
within any given group itself. When
the museum showmen begin to set
up a stock type and say. Here he
is-the prehistoric man." they are
perpetuating a falsehood.
They should abandon the definite
article and assert no more than.
Here is Alexander K. Swiggins. a
prehistoric man who lived approx
mately 25000O years ago After
all, If each prehistoric man had
been precisely like every other
prehistoric man there would have
been no such thing as evolution.
The whole group would have been
wiped out or it would have sur
vived en- maSse and we would all
be Yale tackles.
Even in the case of Alexander
K. Swiggins. the man with the wax
would not try to fool the tiny tots.
Children are literal minded. and
when they see something in
showcase they are apt to accept it
as being something as true and sure
as Santa Claus. On the metal disc
of identification I think there
should be carved a postscript about
as follows
Remember. ladies and gentle
men and tiny tots. the man who
fashioned this diorama has never
seen with his own eyes a prehis-
toric man from 100000 years ago.
He wasn't there He merely is do
ing the best he can. The attempt
70 reproduce the life and culture
of our remote ancestors is like

ing. We are lucky 10 have as much

REVEALED TO SENATORS

BY the Associated Press.
A curious Senate Committe wants
Frank E. Taplin, Cleveland capitalist,
to tell it where he obtained railroad
stock which he sold to the Pennroad
Corporation in 1929 for $4,000, 900, a
figure far in excess of the market price,
The Senate Investigators say they
are suspicious that some Of the stock
may have been sold to Tapln by "in-
siders," who wanted to unload before
the market crash carried the price of
the stock down.
So the Cleveland capitalist has been
summoned to appear Thursday before
the Banking Committee investigating
Kuhn, Loeb &, Co., which financed or
ganization of the Pennroad Corpora
ton.
His testimony will wind up the in
quiry, which then will recess until Oc-
tober.
Loan Arouses Suspicion.
What aroused their suspicion, say
the Investigators, is evidence that Tap
lin borrowed 81 $4,000 from the Penn
road Corporation on June 20, 1929. Just
a few months before he sold them the
stock.
He paid this loan off October 16 of
that year. when he got the first in
stallment of S37,898,l00 for 222 $50
shares Of Pittsburgh g. West Virginia
Railway Co. stock
The Pennroad Corporation paid Tap
lin an average of S170 a share for the
stock when it was selling on the mar
ket from $110 to S141.
The total paid to him was many mil
lions Of dollars above the market price
Before recessing until next Thursday,
the Banking Committee also disclosed
that Kuhn, Loeb g. Co. profited to the
extent of almost $6000,000 by helping
to organize Pennroad and by participat-
ing in its dealings.
Made Large Profit.
Ferdinand Pecora, the committee
counsel, claimed investors in the holding
company since have lost over 100000 :
600, although Otto H. Kahn, senior
partner Of Kuhn, Loeb. said this would
be true only If all investors held their
shares until the present day, when the
stock is around 81.
Documents placed in the record late
in the day by Pecora showed Kuhn.
Loeb made total profits between 1927
and 1881 of around $20,000000 from
stock and bond issues it managed and
issues promoted by others.

CAMPOBELLO ISLAND. New Bruns-
wick July IA clear sky and bright
sun this morning gave President Roose-
velt ideal weather to carry out his
scheduled departure from here late to-
day aboard the cruiser Indianapolis for
the return to Washington after two
week sailing vacation.
Mr. Roosevelt wants to be back in
tie Capital by Tuesday night at the
latest to take command Of the economic
recovery campaign in which he is focus
ing prime attention on the domestic
situation.
However. he said he was prepared to
remain here over the week end If fog
should again blanket the coast.
The President meanwhile was keep
ing in touch with events at the London
Economic Conference.
A waiting" Attitude.
A reported crisis over currency sta
bilization at the London parley found
the President undemonStrative yester-
day as he spent what might be his last
day at the Roosevelt family home here.
1t was made known he is standing
firm against immediate stabilization-
a demand which has been made by the
gold bloc headed by France
The Roosevelt position is believed to
mean he does not think there can be
stabilization of the currencies of all
nations while some are likely to go off
the gold standard It was pointed out
that a nation running S500,000,0 900 be-
hind year in its budget may have to
60 off the gold standard
Anyway, so far as the London eco
nomic crisis is concerned, the United
States position on currency stabiliza-
ton is now clear, and Mr.. Roosevelt is
looking to the opening of the "back-to-
work" movement in this country.
He does not believe currency stabil1-
zation affects internal economy and
feels it is just now question for CEN
trail banks rather than for governments.
Storm Clears Away Fog.
A severe electrical storm here last
night cleared away the fog, bringing a
sharp westerly wind, which swept the
nists out to sea.
The newest of the American battle
fleet, the 10000-ton cruiser Indianap-
oils, is standing out in front OF the
Roosevelt Summer home here, just over
the boundary line. in the center OF the
harbor in United States waters.
The Commander in Chief of the Army
and Navy is anxious to be on board fer
the "shake-down speed trial OF the

rectly to the mouth OF the Potomac
River and thence to Washington is un-
certain. He may remain out to sea
until Tuesday night.
Tanned and rested by his coastal
cruise, the President appeared in ex-
cellent condition to tackle the prob
lens of state.
In relaxing after the 12-day cruise,
the Chief Executive yesterday joined a
beach party given by Mrs. Roosevelt to
newspaper men and naval officers. Hot

tato salad furnished the repast.
