ANCIENT IRRIGATION OF
INDIANS IS STUDIED
AnthropOIogist Will Turn Attention
to Arizona Network.
R,y Science Scrrice

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. - The
prehistoric irrigation systems of
old world civilizations are to be
studied by DR. Walter Hough, cura-
tor of anthropology of The United
States National Museum, who just
has set out for Arizona.
DR.. Hough said that he would go
over the ground Of the great net
work Of Indian made canals near
Phoenix, mapped by air several
years ago.
Il want to examine remains of
the ancient bitches made by the In
dian farmers, and to see how they
cleared the land, and diked it, the
anthropologist stated. Some of that
land is an awful tangle of matted
growth. 1t must have been a prob
lem to clear it.

A RAY OF HOPE

TNTIMATION waited from the statehouse
that something may be done toward reduc-
ton of utility rates brings loud cheer from
the overburdened public. Even an intimation
is good for fairly deep-throated cheer.
Since the legislature ceased its frenzed
enoeayors under the spur of Governor Paul v.
McNutt, little has been heard concerning the
utility problem. 1t appeared as if the new
public service commission deal was merely an
other one of those things-a rose under an
other name, with just different set of thornS
and smelling about the same.
But the report that John N. Shannahan
head of the vast insult interests in the state
Will return next Tuesday with new sched-
ule of rates for the properties once manipu-
lated by Athens latest leading citizen stirs
hope in the hattened breast of the consumer
Light rates. water rates, gas rates and
phone rates certainly are not down to the level
to which the bank roll OF the utility patron has
shrunk in the last three years. Not to men
ton the tax which has been plastered on the
monthly bills.
Rate slashes on the insult schedule alone
will affect 672 towns on light and power and
ninety-hve on gas This is very stable por-
ton Of the state, and cut here would be a
fine start toward easing the load on the con-
sumner.
What the public service commission does to
further this laudable movement will be of deep
interest TO the man who pays.
With the light power and gas schedule
being given attention, it also might be veil to
give little thought to phone and water rates.

A Woman's Viewpoint {:

new in femininity-a being that
surely is evolving and who some
day will be the representative and
common type.
Women are capable Of friendships
and loyalties among themselves and
they will be more capable Of them
in the future. 1t is nonsense to
think that we will not some day
be as fair and decent and honor
able in our dealings with each other
even though love be at stake-as
men are said to be.
AT any rate, the two heroines of
Miss Paterson's book are delightful
creatures, cultivated American wom-
en-, who have struggled, loved and
suffered disillusion, yet preserved
their friendship-a precious boon
through it all.
They look upon life as a slow
moving panorama Of which they are
only small part. Unlike the old
fashioned heroine, they realize they
are not the center Of a universe
that revolves around their little
emotions.
In short, these modern women
debunk themselves-and if one must
debunk, why not begin with the old
ego?

SECRETARY PERKINS JOB

TINE Civil Liberties Unions request that the
new secretary of labor GUST Mrs. Anna
c. Tillinghast from her job immigration
commissioner for the New England district
brings the vital deportation issue again to
the fore.
Mrs. Tillinghast is represented as persona
flying the anti-alen complex, SO foreign to the
human ideals of the new administration.
Specifically she is accused of having led an
unauthorized campaign for a Connecticut
state law to register all aliens So unpopular
was the measure that the Connecticut legis-
latwe promptly buried it.
Mrs. TiIinghasts action, the union tells
Miss Perkins, is in line with her whole record
of provocaton against aliens and of tactics
far more in keeping with membership in the
D. A. r. than with her public duties"
Most important is the early cleanup of the
whole deportation mess This means not only
in personnel, but in the legal machinery of
1.-The system
Miss Perkins and congress need go no
further than the Wickersham commissions
report to learn that under this system grave
abuses and unnecessary hardships' have
grown up, that the methods of the labor de-
partments immigration men have been 'un-
constitutional tyranncal and oppressive that
practices have been engaged in that violate
the plainest dictates of humanity"
Delay in correcting these evils continued
suffering among the most defenseless and
least vocal of the American poor. We trust
that Miss Perkins new broom will clean out
the dark corners of the deportation racket
at once.

DON'T HURT BASEBALL HERE

THE city council showed good judgment in
blocking the attempt to pile additional
cost of operation on Indianapolis American
Association baseball club at its Monday night
meeting.
Effort to assess the club heavily for police
and fire protection was 1Il-advised. Norman
Perry, owner Of the club, has spent hundreds
of thousands of dollars in building one of the
best professional plants in the country here
and buying the best talent available in the
market.
He should be given encouragement, as his
club is one of the best advertisements the
city could have. Few baseball magnates have
served the game with more credit and few
have shown the willingness to spend their
money for winning teams that Perry has.
The city has big league magnate in
minor league city and should show its ap-
probation, during both the off season and the
playing season.

Washington-it can override the majority, for
the simple reason that the majority is not
organized, and consequently is voiceless.
1t is right at this point that President
Roosevelt's action in regard to the economy
bill became an important departure from the
ordinary routine.
What he did was simply to appoint himself
lobbyist for the voiceless and unorganized
majority.
That he did so-that he had to do so if
the vast majority was to be protected-does
not necessarily reflect on congress. 1t is
congress business to listen to organized
minorities Representative government hard
ly would be possible if it did not do so.
But that, in turn, means that if the Presi-
dent himself does not make it his business
TO represent the majority, nobody will.
This conception OF the Presidents job is
profoundly important one. One Of the heart
ening things about the present situation is
that Mr.. Roosevelt has grasped it SO firmly.
The great mass of people who can not band
together formulate a program and hire a
lobby have their spokesman now.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TINES

Mr.. Clarence Geist, the justly celebrated Phil
adelphia philanthropist, still is reaping swol-
len harvest, by the absurdly simple method of
keeping his rates near the wartime level
cutting of employees and slicing wage scales.
A cut in water rates might affect his gen.
crosby in giving pipe organs to clubs of which
he is member but the public in general is
more interested in what comes out of water
pipes than what comes out of pipe organs
and what it costs to coax it out
SO while the new public service commission
is bursting into feverish activity, let it do some
of its bursting in the direction of the Indian
apoliS Water Company.

ROOSEVELT ON RELIEF
DREsIDENT ROOSEVELT is showing Il

DREsIDENT ROOSEVELT is showing the
Il same speed and intelligence in tackling
pressing problem of jobless relief that he
showed in meeting the bank crisis.
His three-ply plan, as he outlined it Tues
day to congress- embraces the essential ele-
ments Of an emergency program.
First, the President would make available
at once for forestation camps some $500 00O,-
900 of unobligated public works funds already
appropriated. This would employ possibly
100000 workers for one year at wholesome
and useful work.
1t would both regenerate the idle men
and add to the nations permanent wealth
And it would do both with minimum Of
delay.
Next, he would replenish the almost de-
pleted Federal hunger relief fund. BY using
the word grant it is obvious that he has
reached the conclusion, with Senators Cos
tigan and La Toilette that many states are
at the end of their borrowing power
In asking for appointment of federal re-
lief administrator, he shows that he also
wants federal grants administered scientific
ally instead of haphazardly and politically.
SlIlCP lIltIe IbIldlilS OILY 1OoOUUjOOU VI
the Reconstruction Finance Corporation re-
lief loan fund, this part Of the program can
not be delayed long.
Finally he soon will outline his plan for
what he calls "a broad public works labor
creating program" This is, by all odds, the
most important of the three.
Work relief on a scale comprehensive
enough to start unemployment of the 49,
100000 or more jobess and at the same time
stimulate private industry through increased
buying power is an essential to the decent sur
vival of these unemployed and to the eco
nomic health of the nation.
Inspiring as is the small forestation PLAN
it alone will not suffice to pump buying power
into the pockets of the masses. Senator
Wagner's bill indicates a manner in which
public works can be expanded at once without
unbalancing the budget.
He would make available the unused R.
F. c. credit for loans to cities and states for
tax-hquidating purposes. Thus, some
$1,000, 100000 would be unfrozen and localities
could begin borrowing for permanent and
sound improvements-for sum- abatement
projects, roads, bridges, schools, parks and
other works.
Senator Wagner also will propose a $1,000
100000 federal public works program, federal
aid for unemployment insurance, and a new
deal" federal-state system of employment
exchanges "
These reforms are in line with the Oft
expressed views of both President Roosevelt
and his labor secretary, Miss Frances Perkins
They are indispensable ingredients of the new
deal.

4 T last, an intelligent and en-
1 n tirely feminine novel Isabel
Paterson, in Never Ask the End, :"
has done a thoroughly modern and
at the same time a thoroughly
spiritual book-which constitutes an
achievement.
She has made US conscious Of the
soul quality that must exist in the
relationships of cultivated men and
women, and in doing so has pro-
duced a book which I for one am
proud has been written by a mem
Der Of our sex.
Why should this be so? you may
ask. Many women have written
and now are writing excellent books.
That is true. But it seems to me
that Miss Paterson has caught the
spirit of modernity without sacri-
fcing the idea that there always
will be certain u,breakable and
fundamental ties that bind human
beings to each other.
In presenting tie new, she has
not lost sight Of the old truths, and
out of this material she weaves a
story that is both wise and witty,
entertaining and challenging to
thought.

Manner of SulIiral1

THIS is particularly true of those
Il who undertake to write history
in the Sullivan manner. 1t is his
notion that any account of an era
must include the songs which we're
sung, the books which came out,
and the plays which held sway along
Broadway.
1t seems to me that he is right.
You can not do a faithful picture
of America in terms Of administra-
tons. Ty Cobb will be remembered
long after everybody has forgotten
who was secretary Of war under
President Taft AS a matter of fact,
who was?
Nor could 1 say for certain where
the electoral vote of Kansas went
in 1908. I remember that as the
year in which you couldn't sit down
in a restaurant without having Irv-
ing Berlin's "AleXander's RagtimeN
Band" blared into your ears.
1t seems to me curious that we
have had such small number of
writer's who have dealt with the
romance of American life. Most Of
the great ones, like Lewis and Drei-
ser and Sherwood Anderson, have
been intent upon taking down the
tinsel. In fact, fiction has stripped
our Christmas tree before we ever
got well along in decorating it.
Possibly none of the hoopla which
has illumined our recent years will
take artistic form until it is seen
through the pathos of distance. I
can not report from my own eX-
perience whether it is right and
proper that the decade which I saw
chiefly over the edge of my peram-
bulator should be known as "the
gay COS" but what are they going
to say about us?
I suggest in advance that this is
the age of phosphorus, or, if you
like, the tinkling 3Os 1t has not
been, as its very worst, a dull age.
If I could take my life up into my
hands and fit it into some century,
like a tiny segment of jigsaw puz-
zle, I'm not at all sure that I would
choose any Renaissance time or
country.
I am content to have been con-
temporaneous with Jimmy Walker
rather than with Leonardo.

ROOSEVELT AIDS THE voICELEss

IF the passage of the Roosevelt economy
Il measure by congress did nothing else, it
at least gave us a new education about the
place of the lobby in democratic government.
When you get right down to it, in one
sense, there is not necessarily anything
fundamentally wrong with the lobby scheme.
minority in a democracy, has got to have
some way of reaching the ear of the gov
eminent.
When it organizes for that purpose, and
retains agents to present its case at the Capt.
toll, it is simply getting up on a stepladder
so that it can reach the governments ear
more easily.
Nor is there fundamentally, anything
wrong with the notion that congressman or
a senator should listen to a lobby. The
minority has a right to be heard; it is only fair
that its pleas should be needed.
The trouble comes when minority, be-
cause of its compactnesS its determination,
and the skill of its agents. gets an influence
greater than it deserves. q

rowing of the field of vision by use
of an apparatus called a perimeter.
If untreated. glaucoma leads Ger
tainty to blindness. 1t is difficult
to control. Excessive pressure on
sensitive tissue, such as that of
nerves, produce degeneration.
Physicians treat glaucoma by use
of drugs which lower pressure in
the eye and contract the pupil. Such
a condition can not be treated by
the use of glasses.
If medical methods fail, it is Gus
tomary to establish proper drain

No condition of the eye should be
neglected, because prompt diagnosis
and treatment are necessary to take

nent changes occur.

Real Banker Needed

BY r. NJ Bowes
Real men, men Of character and
purpose have made Indianapolis
whatever she is or ever has been.
Real men, men of character i'm.
bued with purposeful progress will
develop whatever prosperity Indi-
annapolis may have to bestow upon
her average citizen in the future.
Plainly stated, it is the banker
who has used his resources to pro-
mote the welfare of industry with
in the confines of Indianapolis who
is the banker of character, after
all.
Some Indianapolis bankers have
advanced finances to Indianapolis
industries and to an extent have
based advances upon confidence
in the ability, character, and in
tegrity of men behind these indus
tries. These men of industry have
at least to some extent kept the
wheels turning so as to pay sala-
ries and wages.
To bring back and build real
prosperity, we need and want the
banker of real character who has
the confidence in humanity to ad-
vance finances so that honest in
dustry may continue to operate
and pay living salaries and wages
to average citizens
Now is not the time to be Cos
slped, gabbled or wise cracked in
to walking out on the progressive
banker Of real character. The
Shylock banker invariably demands
that wages and salaries be cut
where he puts out. He has always
cut to get his pound of flesh and
cutting is his philosophy of life.

In other cases, the fluid goes out
partially, but not completely, so
that the increased pressure takes
place gradually and the loss of sight
takes place gradually.
A competent physician actually
can measure the pressure in the eye
by means of a special instrument
called the tonometer. He can look
into the eye with the opthalmoscope
to see whether there has been suff1-
cient pressure to cause a depression
in the optic nerve tissues as they
come into the eye.
