THREE LARGE DAYS

If Mr. Roosevelt is not careful he is going to be
fairly busy man. On March he will be inaugu-
rated and move. On March he will open debt ne
gotlations with Great Britain On March he will
hold conference with the Governors of all states
AT that conference he will discuss such wide sub
Jects as conflict of taxation between states and the
federal government, federal aid for unemployment
relief mortgage foreclosures better land use by affor-
estation, elimination of marginal agricultural land
Hood prevention reorganization and consolidation of
local governments to decrease tax costs
AS though this range of subjects were not
enough for one day, the President-eect adds in his
announcement:
1T is possible that other subjects will occur to
the Governor or to me as being essential for dis
custom" CWhy not prohibtion?)
It's safe guess that he will not be able to dis
pose of the debt problem March 5, or settle any
OF the dozen or so problems which may come before
the March Governors conference But of course he
does not intend to- He merely intends to get his
hand in, and that very quickly.
Not even T. R. himself moved with such vigor and
gusto. Well, the country can stand all the vgor F. R.
can inject into it.

TRY HIM, BY ALL MEANS

In San Francisco, on Feb H. Tom MONEYS at
torneys will argue motion for new trial on the
one remaining undsmiSSed murder indictment pend
ing against him. For the sake of both Mooney and
California courts it is hoped new trial is granted
Such trial would not free Mooney automatically
only an order from the United States supreme court
or state pardon will do that. But it would, for
the first time spread the court records the proofs
of perjury and other irregularities of the Mooney
trial
1t is a commentary on the laws of California and
most other states that such evidence may exist
in affidavit form in the general mind, yet can
not be used to reopen a case once closed Legal
error in trial should not be the only reopener of
cause.

insufficient doses may be most
serious, not only to the complica-
tons Of diphtheria, but Tor life it,

TINE ear may be infected at
l. any time during an attack of
influenza or after the first attack
has subsidized. AS a complication,
the development Of the condition
is rapid.
There is. severe pain in the ear
and tenderness over the region be-
hind the ear. The temperature
usually rises rapidly and there
may be a flushed face and a rapid
pulse.
A form Of streptococcus called
hemolyticus, because of its power
to destroy blood, is responsible for
the infections in the ear.
1t obviously is of greatest i'm
portance in this condition to make
the diagnosis promptly and to re-
lease the germs and the pus from
the internal ear, to avoid great
distinctions Of tissue and possible
danger through secondary infec-
ton OF the brain.

JUST A HINT

When a man buys house, an office building or
farm, he pays taxes.
The assessor can not fail to find the property
OF course some assessors are partially blind, but for
the most part real estate can not dodge taxes.
It is different when put their wealth into
stocks or deposit it in banks That form of wealth
escapes.
If the assessor were really alert, it would not be
difficult to locate this wealth. and if it located,
there would be no necessity for sales tax, an in
come tax or any other new form of taxation.
Just as a hint the legislature or the assessor might
take a glance at the reports made on estates filed
in the probate court
Even trust companies, most ardent of tax reduc-
tionists, do some queer things. When executors or
administrators of estates, they seem to believe it
their duty to hide from the tax collector.
brief examination shows, for example, that in
one estate where there more than $350,000 of
money on deposit Feb %, in addition to
hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of taxable
securities had only valuation of around 100000
the next day.
If the wealth that is represented by intangibles
were on the tax rolls in the manner that real
estate is listed there would be no necessity for tax
strikes.

Every Day Religion
BY DIR. JOSEPH FORT NEWTON

rs our age irreligious? No,
Il though it may seem so on the
surface, if in our dismay at it's
changes we forget the things that
abide. Deeper down there are
movements making for finer,
fairer life, a broader outlook, a
swifter sympathy, and fresh cur
rents clearing away much ancient
silt.
One does not forget the pity of
which Galsworthy was a prophet,
the cry for justice heard round
the world, the more vivid social
imagination, and the VOW in the
heart of the race to make an end
of war.
No one Of us would go back one
generation, or five, or ten, despite
the ills that beset us. Old evils
which Francis and Luther and
Wesley took for granted have be-
come intolerable to us. The days
that lie ahead of us will see an
unprecedented advance in Danish

injustice, and pain.
Yet something is amiss; some
thing not satisfied ny our humani-

SCIENCE
Research Saves Cattle
BY DAVID DIETz

FOR decades the herds Of south
n ern stockmen were devastated
by Texas fever, or splenetic fever
as it now is called. Because of it,
many foreign countries excluded
American cattle and cattle prod
ucts. The disease was the greatest
obstacle confronting the southern
livestock industry.
In 1888, the bureau of animal
industry, a division of the United
States department of agriculture,
undertook a study Of the disease.
In 1898, an epoch-making discov-
cry was reached; namely, that the
disease was caused by a microbe
which was transferred to the cat
tie by the bite Of an insect. The
insect in question was the tick.
At once work was started to
eradicate the tick. The result was
a considerable suppression of the
disease and a consequent growth
of the southern cattle industry.
But an even greater result fol-
lowed. This was the first time that
it had been established that a mi
crobe disease could be transmitted
by the bite of an insect.

Ear Diseases Follow Scarlet Fever

a MONG the most common and
IN serious of the complications
associated with scarlet fever, mea-
sles, diphtheria, and influenza are
subsequent infections of the inter
nal ear.
These infections are not the
same in all these diseases, but diff
fer in some respects, as is pointed
out by NJ. Asherson, according to
the disease concerned.
Because most children still have
their adenoids when they have
measles, acute infections Of the in
ternal ear are fairly common COM
plications in this disorder.
The ear infection usually comes
on in the second week of the dis
ease and is apparent to the physi-
clan by the Inflammation or red
ness of the eardrum.
In cases where there is pressure,
the eardrum is opened to permit
the infected material to escape.
Tn scarlet fever, the inhamma-
Il ton Of the ear is likely to be
more serious, although less fire.
Quent. Usually there is a sudden,

faith more acute despite our eff
forts at evasion. Man is master of
more realms than ever before;
but he is puzzled by the riddle of
life, beshadowed by it's bereave-
ments, broken by it's tragedy.
In the midst Of amazing tri-
umphs, he knows loneliness of
soul, the torment Of dismay, the
terror of Illustration, as he did in
the days of Ikhnaton, Of Sophie
cles, and Of Saul of Tarsus.
While we are living in the midst
of thrilling times, one does not
forget that the human heart is
very old, almost as old as the hills
whence cometh its help. Man has
sought him out many inventions,
but he has not made the smile of
a babe more sweet, or salt tears
less bitter, since the first child
croWed in a cradle or the last
mother wept by a tomb.
For all his self-sufficiency, he
feels the futility of life without
some spiritual vision to give it
meaning, and in the final dark
ness he cries out for the EverIast-
ing Arms.
Things do not satisfy, speed
does not arrive, and the wonders
of science have not hushed our
longing for something beyond
time and sense, something cleaner
than our hearts, clearer than our
minds, newer than the buds of
spring, fresher than the song of a
bird at dawn; something pro-
founder than philosophy. but
known to the pure in heart and
the doors Of the word and will of
God.

1t Seems to Me by Haywood Broun

THESE are the days when peo-
Il pie rise gloonlily to state that
the theater is on its DEATH
bed. I think the theater is Sit
ting pretty. When 1 view the
muddled potentialities of the next
twenty years, I wish I were an ac-
tor instead of a newspaper man.
I will grant that many play
houses are closed and that thou
sands Of actors are out of work,
but the curtailments in journal
istic opportunities have been even
more severe.
The actors ace is the fact that
the theater always has ridden
through even the greatest of
world commissions. If the past is
any guide to the future, the the
alter is an eternal institution. Not
only has it existed and fourished
under emperorS, presidents and
commiSSars, but it also has kept
its head up, even during the &C
tual time Of strife.
The ten days which shook the
world did not jar the Russian
theater out of It's usual schedule
Of performances.

S0yZer Goes to Plag

NLIVER SAYLER, who then
" a young provincial dramatic
critic, had an assignment during
the war to write a series of articles
on the drama of Moscow. The rev.
clution broke out just about the
time he arrived, but young Mr..
Sayler was a confirmed critic and
e~tracked in his determine
ton.
To him the street fighting was
no more than a sideshow. Since
the theater still was in operation,
he purposed to carry on his assign
ment. On several occasions he
had to walk around corners where
bullets were whizzing by.
That was an annoyance, but so
are traffic jams on Broadway. He
refused to let a little thing like
rifle fire keep him out of good aisle
seats for first nights.
OF course, it may be said that
his enthusiasm and mode of con-
duct constituted the bizarre be-
havior of the critical fraternity
which is made up almost entirely
Of men who are a little mad. But.
as matter of fact, the theater of
seething Moscow were filled with
large audiences.
Certain radical changes took
place in the Russian theater after
the Soviet government had been
established, but they were almost
entirely out front. To be sure, the
proletarian drama celebrating the
triumphs of the revolution made
its appearance and certain familiar
pieces were barred as capitalistic
In their tendencies.
But some of the old favorites
survived, and others have crept
back in recent years. 1t is inter
esting to learn that, in spite of its
pronounced piety, Uncle Toms
Cabin has had its first production
in Russia under the regime of
Stain.

Tupic0L MOscO2U Cast

pUT whatever the changes in
I'D the composition of the au-
dience or the nature of the
repertoire, the casts remained al
most as before. Those performers
who had appeared under the
patronage of the car found that
almost overnight they had be-
come peoples artists"
The technique and style which
they had used in the days Of the
mobiles were equally effective for
the peasants and workers. Katch-
allow still was Katchalov, though
the entire personnel of industry
and government had changed
from brigadier to drummer boy.
Of course, in terms of rubles
the salaries were much smaller,
but, for all that, special allow
anceS were made and the actor
still was a member of priv
legged class. There are people in
New York who say that the
theater is dying, but many of
them merely mean that hundred
thousand dollar production soon
will be thing of the past.
There are actors who feel that
the drama must be on its last
legs the minute they are called
upon to accept salaries in terms
of anything less than the old
scale. Only the other day a man
ager was urging leading come
dian to take a cut for the good
of the show.
I'm not being selfish or grasp
ing or anything like that" said
the actor, as he refused the re-
quest, but, honestly, just
couldn't go out there on the stage
and be funny for $1,000 a week"
think people will have to be
funny for a good deal less. And
tragic, too. But, after all, the
merits of a Hamlet or an Othello
do not vary directly in accord
with the compensation.
The best revue I ever saw was
the one that Actors Equity put
on few days after the strike.
1t had no scenery or costumes or
angel. All the poor players had
was talent.

severe rise in fever as soon as the
ear becomes infected.
Because there is serious sore
throat associated with scarlet
fever, the inflammation of the ear
may be overlooked and the pain
and fever explained by the red
ness and swelling of the tonsils.
Because Of the serious character
of infection Of the ear in scarlet
fever, it should have most prompt
and competent attention.

Sugar Industry Saved

~
TINE story Of Texas fever is one
- cited by Arthur M. Hyde, sec
rotary of the department of agri-
culture, to illustrate the impor-
lance of governmental research
in the field of agriculture.
Another case which he cites is
that of restoration of the sugar
cane industry IN Louisiana.
Not many years ago this in
duStry was threatened with ex-
tinction by a plant disease known
as mosaic disease. The disease
first was discovered in 1919 in
small area in eastern Louisiana.
1t spread very rapidly through
out the entire state and into
neighboring states where sugar
cane is grown. AS a result, farm
ers gave up the cultivation Of
large areas of land.
Sugar mills stood idle. The
whole sugar cane industry was
on the verge of collapsing.
Now, unfortunately, it is not
possible to cure mosaic disease. be-
cause no one has discovered it's
cause. But it has been shown bv
experiments that certain strains
Of plants have a tendency to get
the disease while others do not
Accordingly, the experts of the
United states department of agri-
culture undertook to develop a.
strain of sugar cane which would
not be susceptible to the disease.
New varieties were imported from
foreign countries and in 1923 cut
lungs were planted on $4,000
acres in Louisiana.
By 1929, the average growing
sugar cane compared favorablv
with that under cultivation before
