Editor Times-I send you the
following for what it is worth, as
I just wanted to get it out of my
system.
Confidence was lost in our
banks and banking system during
the Hoover regime, no matter
where the fault lay.
The Roosevelt administration
now is trying to bring back this
confidence, and most people have
the utmost confidence in what
the President is trying to do. He
is acting for the good of all and
not just for certain individuals
or businesses.
Let Mr.. Roosevelt be responsible
for a better banking system in
our country, guaranteed deposits,
for keeping our gold in our coun-
try instead Of sending to foreign
countries, where it is now safer
give him credit for anything he
can do!
Let him do what should have
been done some time ago, but do
not hold him responsible for the
present financial condition Of the
country.
Let those Of opposite political
faith who still are rather sore.
and those who don't want others
to know that they really are sat-
isfed, cease to be hard losers and
help our President by their con-
f1dence and not hinder him by the
propaganda Of criticism. In the
end they will win with him

WE MEET THE CHALLENGE

veteran English newspaper writer touring in
the United States remarked that it seems to him
"a remarkable and wonderful thing" that the tenn
per Of the American people has been 50 cheerful
and hopeful during the last fortnight
1T is something" he said that ought to give you
confidence and be a cause for gratitude"
This cheerfulness and this hope indeed have
been amazing in the depth and frmness of their
expression. They come at the sharpcst moment of
climax Of long and cruel depression-at the very
moment when people might be expected to be any,
thing but cheerful and hopeful-and they have been
manifested in solid, unmstakable way.
Back of them there is something more than the
mere fact of change in administrations at Wash
ington something more than simple feeling that
we have in power a government that will act.
It is almost as If the American nation felt that
a dramatic appeal being made to something
deep, daring and idealstic in its souI-being made
not only by the government, but by the voice of
history itself
It has been our nature to dream dreams and to
listen to far-of voices From the very first we have
been persuaded that our destiny was not like that
Of other lands.
Hope always has beckoned to the horizon We
never have been splendid as at those moments
Of crisis when we have to fight and endure to keen
our dreams in sight.
There is abroad in the land today feeling that
such moment is upon us once more The depres-
sion has shown US at least the worst that it can
do; and thus it has challenged us 20 show the best
that there is in u.s. The challenge itself has lifted
us up.
For we feel, now, that we can begin to go for
ward once more We can cut away the things that
have encountered us
We can make experiments, we can be bold we
can sound our trumpets gladly in this final dark
hour before the dawn Of a new day.

The thing that counts is that we all are set to

As usual We are starting because the old IA

are reached only after wandering in the wilder

morality that the American of the last two decades
seems somehow to have lost.

problems waiting at his door-not to mention or
ganization of his administration which hardly has
begun. Meanwhile he has found time to send an
emergency beer tax message to congress.

CALIFORN1ANs COURAGEOUS

Undismayed by devastating earthquake, the
men of the Los Angeles basin are setting about to
rebuild their homes and stores and public build
ings with as little delay possible.
The valor of southern California is of the same
stuff that grappled with San Franciscos disaster Of
1906. And, Just as San Francisco stands more Sc
cure and lovely than before will these cities of
southern California arise amid their orange groves,
stronger and better.
There is a lesson for America in the spirit of
these men of the western shore. The national woes
that for three and half years have tread each
others heels" are man-made and even if our econ
omists don't agree on how to cure them, we know
they can be cured.
The series of quakes that came out of the earth
held not only destruction but the terror that comes
from the unknown. If the people of California
standing on their ruins, snap their fingers at
fate and cheerfully set about to rebuild, surely the
rest of America can show equal hardihood.

It Seems to Me -. by Haywood Broun

NEW YORK, March 14.-The
~ end of the era of agreement
is close at hand.
1t was possible for President
Roosevelt to get from the house
of representatives unanimous sup
port for bill which the members
hardly had seen. In the senate
the opposition was meager and
almost inarticulate.
But now he is approaching a
fight which will test his mettle. It
also will test the utility of our
entire scheme of government. I
think it is not putting it too
strongly to say that the present
administration will stand or fall by
the vigor with which it promotes
measures to cut the graft out of
appropriations for veterans.
And graft" is certainly the
proper word. We have all read of
a police officer who draws an al
loWance for complete disability on
account Of war time injury to
his back. He also happens to be
the handball champion of the de-
partment.

Blow on Eye Really Serious Matter

ONE of the most common dis
~ turbanceS of the eye is injury
caused by a blow Of some type.
The immediate effect of a blow
with a blunt instrument may not
be serious. but the later effects
may be extremely so.
It, therefore, is best to treat
every severe blow Of the eve as a
serious condition until sufficient
time has passed to indicate extent
Of the damage.
Sometimes there is merely
bleeding Of the small vessels in
the white Of the eye. An X-ray
picture may show that the bones
of the skull which surround the
eye have been broken.
1t is advisable. whenever one
has had a blow on the eye, to go
to bed Immediately and to put an
ice bag on the eye. and TO have
competent medical attention as
soon as possible.
Much more serious than blow
with blunt instrument is the
penetrating injury, such as may

executive dictatorship set up in
the United States. But I think
we will choose very badly indeed
if we scrap that in favor of a
little oligarchy run for and by

I have heard ex-soldiers COM
plain bitterly that they were asked
to fight to make the world safe
for democracy and that when
they returned they found none.
There is something in what they
say, but democratic processes
hardly will be spurred on by
disposition to let the American
Legion have whatever it wants
with reason or without.
One of the strangest political
alliances ever known in this or
any other country has come to-
gether to fight for indiscriminate
payments to veterans. We have,
in the first place, the ex-soldiers
themselves, who constitute so
large and so solid a block that

has been damaged by the irrita-
ton.
Most serious in connection with
any penetrating injury of the eye
is the serious inflammation Of the
other eye, known as sympathetic
ophthalmia.
This occurs some fourteen days
after the injury to the first eye,
most frequently in from four to
six weeks, but may occur many
months or even years later.
The appearance of the eye first
injured helps the physician to de-
termine the possible onset Of such
an inflammation in the other eye.
In the ma jority Of cases, proper
preventive measures are taken
Immediately.
If the first eye is damaged Sc
verely and inflammation is serious,
it is customary to remove the in
jured eye promptly, before any
signs of Inflammation have ap-
peared in the second eye.

robbed him, beat him unmerciful-

He was 500 miles from the nearest

erything was lost; he was utterly
hopeless and ready to give up.
AS he lay on the ground, in
utter exhaustion and despair, a
tiny bit of moss caught his eye.
It was no bigger than the tip of
his finger, but as he looked close
ly at the exquisite shaping of it's
roots and leaves, he asked him

planned and brought that bit of
moss to such perfection of beauty
could forget him.

SCIENCE
Grass Called Life Basis
BY DAVID DIETz

rTUMAN life has been and is
IL more dependent upon the
grasses than upon any other group
of living things. So says Dr.
Morris HaIperin of the University
of California.
By "the grasses" he means, OF
course, more than ordinary grass
such as is used to plant lawn
or a golf course. He has refer
ence to the group of plants classed
scientifically as grasses, which IN
clude wheat barley, maize, rice
corn, millet, bamboo, etc.
Every known civilization had its
beginning in the cultivation OF
one or another of the cereal grass
es," he says. "At present, grasses
furnish all the breadstuffs and
most of the meat and sugar con-
sumed by man. They also supply
housing material for millions OF
people in the tropics"
Speaking of meat, he says, 1t
is true almost literally that all
flesh is grass" Animals feeding
on grasses furnish beef, mutton,
pork, and poultry, and such by
products as milk, cream, butter,
cheese, eggs, wool, and leather.
Most of the worlds supply OF
sugar is made from another grass,
the sugar-cane. Bamboo, wherever
it is grown, is used to build houses,
bridges and other structures.
Furniture, cooking utensils, mu-
steal instruments, hats, clothing
and other articles are manu-
featured from bamboo in the
tropics.

TINE Age of Reptiles ended and
L the Age of Mammals began,
some 100000 years ago, accord
ing to DR.. Halperin, because the
change in the worlds climate dried
out the swamps and provided ex-
tensive grasslands.
The dinosaurs and other mon
sters of the Age of Reptiles f1ou-
rished in the swamps. When con-
ditions changed, it gave the little
mammals, the grass-eaters, their
chance.
Early man was a nomad because
he had to follow his f1ocks-his
grass eaters-from pastureland to
