terprise makes for repetition, and no
child of wealthy parents can be re-
garded as secure as long as the kid
napers are uncaught and unpunished.
The total failure to identify and cap
ture the wretches who took the Lind
bergh baby-and slew It In their haste
and perhaps their panic-has undoubt-
edly been q factor in the launching OF
this later scheme. Had they been taken
and given the fullest possible penalty
the law permits the McMath child
would probably not have been abducted.
Immediately upon the kidnapping Of
the Lindbergh child there was . wave
of intense resentment throughout the
country, and the laws and penalties
against this crime were stiffened, In
some cases States providing death as
punishment. A Federal law was en-
acted prescribing imprisonment for life
in cases where the stolen person was
taken from the jurisdiction Of one State
to another or into Federal territory.
In this present instance there is q
question whether the removal of the
child to the high seas establishes such
Federal jurisdiction.
However this may be, and whatever
the penalties prescribed, nothing mat
ters if the thieves are not caught. In
this case they have sought to protect
themselves by imposing restraint upon
the parents under threat of dire pun
ishment If they disclose identities or
aid in the search. Apparently the
father of the little girl sought to keep
faith, but was thwarted by the inter-
vention of Federal agencies, and now
the hunt is on. 1t may be questioned
whether the kidnapers will make re-
prisals. They have obtained their blood
money and doubtless by now are scat
tered. content with the success of their
vile venture.
The ease with which this child was
stolen Is in itself a shocking menace
BY sfrewd use of the telephone the
girl was taken without difficulty from
her school and the kidnapers obtained a
good start before the crime was discov-
cred. With swift transportation by
land and sea the getaway was cas-
lily effected. Thus do the modern con-
veniences cooperate with crime, to the
end Of defeat Of justice.

which has been responsible in Q large
measure for the lawlessness. This
would not affect the quota system
under which world sugar production
Is regulated. but would provide q bet

out creating dangerous competition for
the American sugar grower. Whether
it would greatly improve political con-
ditions in the island or reduce the
oppression and tyranny of the govern
ment in power is another matter"
THE hand of the United States will
be forced by continued rnanslaughter
and such an event is not to be con-
templated without regret and some dis
may" states the Chicago Tribune, while
the Rockford Register Republic con-
cludes: "One thing does seem certain.
and that is that Uncle Sam will not
long countenance misrule and disorder
in the island which he fought Spain
to free from Spanish oppression. Cuba
lies at our front doorstep. Given
proper opportunity, it has the resources
for development into a prosperous,
happy nation. The United States has
a personal interest in seeing that this
is done, and if need be, will not hesi-
tate to use its own vast powers to
bring return of such conditions to
the island republic"

Fiendish Crime Succeeds,

The immediate reaction of the pub
hc concerning the redemption of the
little girl who was stolen by kidnapers
In Massachusetts and was returned to
her parents yesterday upon payment
Of a sum said to have been $4,000 is
that of concern lest the success of this
adventure should encourage other gangs
b commit similar crimes. No blame
Is attached to the parents for their ac-
quiescence in the demand for ransom
Their naturaI Inclination was to res
cue their child, whatever the cost. That
was the effort of Col. Lindbergh when
his infant son was stolen. That will
be the effort Of every other father and
mother whose child is taken.

much starch"
The offending food was our old
friend, the lima bean.
II will take" he went on, "a crab
and some string beans"
The waiter brought them, together
with five big slices Of bread.
After his majestic refusal Of the lima
beans the diner could do nothing less
in all propriety, than Indignantly re-
ject the bread.
But did he?
He did not.
He ate every crumb Of every slice,
and looked around for more.
One who witnessed his inconsistency
felt like leaning over and asking, Say,
Mister, what do you call bread, II you
think lima beans are a starchy food?"
There are more misconceptions about
food floating around in the beans Of
the populace. as the vernacular has 1t,
than In regard to any other one side
Of life.
Everybody has heard Of dieting" and
every one. at some time or other, fondly
thinks he must 60 on q diet Of some
sort.
Many begin, buts few stick.
But during the time they try out one
theory or another they learn enough to
get the whole question Of human feed
ing very much muddled up.
Many OF them acquire enough misin-
formation to think they know about
all that there Is to know about one of
the most complex of studies.
1t Is only within the past fifty years
that humanity has made any real at :
tempt, along scientific lines. to find out
what happens in the broad basic pro-
cess labeled nutrition.
Unfortunately, 'other animals besides
man must be used for most Of this ex-
perimental work, since a human being
has mind OF his own. and normally
ideas into experiments in which he is
the subject.
While many splendid discoveries have
resulted from the use Of various small
animals in the laboratories. a loophole
has been left for the claim that these
discoveries do not invariably apply to
that lordly animal. man himself.

Thus the modern science OF nutrition
has had to fight its way every step,
with claims and counterclaims Great
ing terrible confusion in the lay mind.
1t is the layman, after all. who should
be benefited by what virtue there may
be in all the work Of all the nutri-
tionists
Since each one Of us is this very
layman, in this matter, it Is up to
each person interested to approach his
own case. In regard to stoking his very
human machinery, in a perfectly in
divtdual manner.
That Is he must know first himself
and the idiosyncrasies Of his own bod
lily apparatus, and then. he must make
a really determined efi5rt to find out
the claims and cotnterchims Of the
conflicting theories of diet.
After he has achieved this personal
knowledge, fairly and as broadmindedly
as possible. he will still have to fight
his greatest battle.

Building Lakes.
From the Sioux Falls Daily Argus-Lead

From the Sioux Falls Daily Argus-Leader.
The Argus-Leader heartily ndorses
the efforts being made by Congressman
Fred H. Hildebrandt Of South Dakota &
first district to include lake building in
the Presidents employment program.
Many such projects are awaiting ac-
tion in South Dakota and they can be
utilized to provide the employment
sought in the Presidents relief activi-
ties. Some forest work Is to be done
in the Black Hills, Of course, but this
is limited. The State as whole can
profit considerably from . broadening
Of the program to allow artificial lakes
to come within its scope.
If such o development Is to take
place, Sioux Falls should not be caught
asleep. Surely there are adequate
basins In this vicinity for lake develop
ments. The Izaak Walton League, It
appears, IS the suitable organization to
take . leading hand in whatever pre-
liminary work Is advisable.

that 1t Is most often used by the rough,

Sozomen mentions the Hermit Paul of
the fourth century, who threw away a
pebble as he recited each of his 800
daily prayers. 1t is not known pre-
cisely when the mechanical device of
the rosary was first used. William of
Malmesbury says that Godiva, who
founded religious house at Coventry
in 1043, left a string Of Jewels, on
which she had told her prayers, that
it might be hung on the statue of the
Blessed Virgin. Thomas of Cantimpre

it in a mystical sense as Mary's rose

Upward Swing in Business.

From the Roanoke Times.
A summary Of general business con-
ditions just issued by the Federal Re-
serve Board contains evidence that
business is at last beginning to show
signs of a revival. The report points
out the increase now taking place in
the activities of commodity and security
markets. The decline in the produc-
lion and distribution Of commodities
late in February and early in March
has been halted and an upswing has
set in. This upswing is reflected un-
mistakably in the steel industry, long
regarded as an unfailing barometer Of
general business conditions.
1t would be mistake to assume that
good times will be here day after to-
morrow. We must all be on our guard
against upwarranted optimism. But
there are unmistakable indications that
at last We are on the way back up.
The upward swing in business is pro-
nounced. Prophets of doom are In
danger Of being confounded.

The Bonus-March Plan.

In dealing with the bonus payment
petitioners the Presidents advisers are
to be commended for conceiyinp the
problem, to be handled as the Federal
situation thus facing them as a Federal
authorities consider wise instead of as
problem merely affecting the local
community Of Washington, already beset
with many difficulties Of its own. They
are also wise in planning ahead and
making their arrangements in advance.
The plan itself Is interesting and
might be considered as theoretically
fawless. As drawn up at a conference
yesterday between certain bonus petit
tioners and the Presidents advisers
the plan conceives the proposed-or
Observation-Disclosures Of bonus seeking
veterans as convention OF accredited
representatives Of the ex-soldiers, so
many to be chosen from each congress
sional district and furnished with proper
credentials. These, coming to Wash
ngton, will be provided with camping
place near the city and presumably will
be fed and housed at Government ex-
pense. At the end of the convention,
after they have been given the means
for peaceful presentation of petitions to
Congress demanding payment of the
bonus, restoration OF veterans COM
pensation and aid for the farmers and
the unemployed, they will adjourn and
go home.
1t IS true that such publ!cized
gathering Of accredited" delegates may
attract many other ex-soldiers who,
If not delegates" are bona fide claim
ants for the bonus. But according to
the paper plans now prepared these
will not be permitted access to the
camp Of the accredited representatives,
being forced to fend for themselves
elsewhere. 1t may be that the only
place where they will fend for them
selves will be in Washington, but that
remains to be seen.
The interesting part of this expert
ment will lie in proof therein to be
furnished whether the bonus seekers
are motivated by the desire merely to
come to Washington and, in keeping
with their constitutional rights, to pre-
sent petition to Congress, or whether
they are being led by agitators who
are playing upon the distress and want
of their fellows to gain notoriety and
certain prominence for themselves by
staging colorful demonstrations. There
is the further question where the line
Is to be drawn between groups Of ag
grieved citizens entitled to gather and
live near Washington at Government
expense while petitioning Congress. or
whether the Governments tacit invi-
tation to bonus petitioners will like
wise be extended in come e-one-come-
all' bid to all other petitioners.
If reasonable, fair treatment of the
petitioners will prevent complications
too obvious to discuss here, the work
ability of the plan for the petitioners
reception Is assured in advance. The
test will be as to the efficacy Of rea-
sonable and fair treatment. 1t will be
watched with great interest.
