Our disagreement with Mr.. Broun's opin
ions are frequent and pass without comment.
We are replying to the co,umnist in this in
stance not because of his opinion, but be-
cause we think he is wrong in his facts. The
standards which We and Mr.. Broun would fix
for cabinet officer, and particularly for a
secretary of state, probably are similar.
Secretary Hull. with all his faults. is SUI
perior in intelligence and integrity to most
of the secretaries of state since Mr.. Broun
can remember.
Indeed, Mr. Hull has two virtues which
probably would commend him especially TO
Mr.. Broun II the latter were familiar with
his record Mr. Hull is not on terms of In
timacy with the international bankers and
business interests which hitherto usually have
dominated American foreign policy. Though
not radical Mr. Hull has not taken orders
from those special interests. as most OF MS
recent predecessors have done.
Secretary Hull has another virtue which

cabinet. He is not a yes-man He had the

a political hack operates.
AT the London conference, Secretary Hull
had sufficient courage to attack economic ma
tionalism even to the point of holding apart
from the new Roosevelt-Moley policy. He
continues to oppose economic nationalism.
And the fact that Mr.. Moley, rather than
MIR. Hull. has resigned, is fairly strong evi-
dence that the President is turning toward
the Hull foreign policies.
Now. of course. Mr.. Broun is free to agree

is not free, if we understand the Broun code

When Mr.. Broun implies that Secretary

because he is unacquainted with the man and
ignorant of the mans record.

BAN THE MACHINE GUN

THE New York legislature has passed law
putting the submachine gun, favorite
weapon of gangland, under the ban.
This law makes it felony for any person
except a peace officer to possess such gun
1t provides that the presence of machine
gun in any dwelling or vehicle is prima facie
evidence of guilt upon the part of the occu-
pants.
Here is what seems to be very excellent
law, and it is hard to think of any good reason
why every other state in the Union should not
copy it at once.
The way in which sale and possession of
murderous weapons like submachine guns
which can not conceivably be needed by any
honest persons-has been permitted to go on
unchecked is nothing less than astonishing
A law like New York's, properly enforced,
ought to put quite crimp in underworld ac-
tivities.

BY M. X.
In The Times recently, read an
article regarding the drug code, ex-
empting registered pharmacists from
minimum hours and salary. This
stirred me up.
I have been looking for position
as drug clerk for two years and
could not find a job. There are sew
eral unemployed pharmacists in In
diana. What is the NRA sign on the
drug store windows for?
The pharmacist today has to work
more hours than anyone else, seven
DAYS a week, from twelve to fifteen
hours a day. 1 thought that sweat
shop hours were abolished when the
NRA came into existence. How can
I obtain employment when they
work one man where two men
should be?
The most remarkable thing about
the drug code is that it does not
pertain to druggists, only to the
restaurant and cigar part OF the
store, and still it is called a drug
code.
Under this code, the pharmacists
hours are increased in some cases
so that he also can work at the soda
fountain and other parts of the
store when a soda dispenser is re-
leased from work due to their short
ened hours. He receives no extra pay
for working extra. Why?
Because he is exempt from the
NRA code. Is a pharmacist pro-
fessional because he works for
someone else long hours and receives
a starvation salary? He never was
regarded as a professional until the
NRA came into existence. The big
drug interests who have helped
cause this depression still are at
work. They have blinded the eyes
of those at Washington.
I appeal to you to investigate why
the pharmacist did not come under
the blanket or any other code while
everyone else did, and write a
statement in your paper, so the I'M
employed pharmacist will know why
he can not get job under the
! NRA.
1 enjoy reading the pink Times
immensely and couldn't do without
| it. Yours for success.

about marriage are quite worthless on the

EDUCATED DETECTIVES

DR. RICHARD H PAINTER, psychologist
~ of Long Island university makes an ap-
peal for college trained sleuths in the nations
police departments. Police efficiency and
progress, he declares, depend upon thorough
training in detective science.
Detective work is one kind Of work which,
in a way similar to engineering, ought to re-
quire scientific preparation. Too much fuss,
however, is made over mere college training.
Colleges, by delaying entrance into active
life, harm many person while helping many
another. Certainly an individual gifted with
a fine detective sense would be wasting his
time If he spent too long in academic halls
But it seems that police departments far
from inviting, place obstacles in the way of
bright minds who naturally would take to
crime detection. The foremost barriers are
the low pay and the long period of night club
swinging required, for detectives are drawn
from the ranks of patrolmen.
Too often they are promoted to detective
grade not because of special gifts in that line,
but because they performed some heroic serv-
ice. The higher detective pay was the only
material way of rewarding them.
Large cities, it seems, might well set up
departments of detective science in their in
stitutions of higher learning, and even in some
of the high schools. They should also pro-
vide pay high enough to attract more skilled
and trained minds. In saying this we do not
diSparage the great skill and mental gifts of
many detectives now in service.

Let Best Man Win

MANY observers have noted the
1V1 fact that the Roosevelt ad-
ministration contains men of va
rious views and kidney. 1t has been
said that the President has been
content to let these advisers fight
it out in the hope that the best
man might win. This is not a bad
arrangement in the case of a can
didate who originally represented a
coalition of various groups. But it
will be tragic if the palookas are to
push over the people of greater
consequence.
I never have regarded Raymond
Moley as an authentic whirlWind,
but he certainly is man of far
more ability than Cordell Hull. After
all, who isn't?
I do not know what sort of pres
sure or persuasion brought about
Moley's retirement. 1 think he
should have stuck to his post. In
deed, I believe that if he had only
filled his lungs and exhaled once, he
could have blown out Mr.. Hull as
readily as a candle on birthday
cake.
If things are to go on this way,
the first thing we know somebody
will be getting out because Mr..
Woodin doesn't like him. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has done an amazing
amount of work, and his later ap-
pointments, on the whole, have been
better than those which were die
tated by the afterglow of the cam
paign.
Yet, after all, 1t is time for him
to realize that this four-year job
at the very least. And surely no.
body could want to have Cordell
Hull hanging around him for any
such span of time.

Practically, all fresh fruits are
fairly rich in vitarnins A and B, in
Guiding particularly peaches, prunes,
cantaloupes and cherries; and many
of the berries, such as the straw
berry, are rich in vitamin G.
Spinach, the clown of the vege-

source among all the vegetables for
all the vitamins. Furthermore
it provides reasonable amounts OF
iron and other mineral salts.
The amount of vitamin 3 in a
vegetable may be determined rough
ly by the color. The yellow vege-
tables, such as carrots and yellow
corn, are rich in vitamin A, whereas

Meat, Eggs, Milk Are Rich in Vitamins

white corn has none and lettuce
relatively little.
Leaf lettuce is much richer in
vitamin A than head LETTUCE, and
indeed richer also in vitamin B.
Turnip greens and the tops of
beets also are we'll recognized as ex-
cellent sources of common vita
Minis.
Many meats formerly consigned to
the garbage can now are recognized
as the most valuable in vitamin con-
tent. Liver, kidney, and heart are
rich in both vitamins A and B. and
contain also mineral salts and good
protein for body growth and repair.
Milk, which long has been con-
sidered perhaps the best single food,
contains vitamins A and G and also
appreciate amounts of vitamin B.
1t is customary, however, to sup
plement milk for children with both
orange juice and cod liver oil in
order to make up the deficiency of
vitamins normally present in milk.

A HOSPITALS MISTAKE

A MAN who was taken for emergency
treatment to Lakewood hospital, Cleve-
land, was turned away without adequate care
and died shortly afterward in Jail from skull
fracture and brain conclusion.
1t is reported that the hospital attendants
thought the man was drunk. They say they
smelled liquor on his breath. Investigation is
going forward to determine whether the man
had had any drinks before or after the acct
dent in which he received his head injuries
Whether he had anything to drink, and
whether he actually was drunk, bears not at
all on the question Of the hospitals negligence.
A drunken man is susceptible to serious in
jury no less than a sober man, and the ex-
animation should not be any less thorough in
such case.
Doctors probably make fewer mistakes at
their business than the rest of us do at our
business; but the consequences of their errors
are far more serious.

lance must correspond to responsibility
