CUTTING COSTS
a SCRIPPS-HOWARD NEWsPAPFR,

News from Kansas City that all city employees
have been forced to accept a wage cut Of fifty per
cent indicates a condition that many cities are
rapidly approaching.
The wage cut Of one-nalf is forced by the fact
that property owners can not pay their taxes The
delnquences leave the treasury empty. The old
method Of selling property for taxes does not work
for no one will buy
Whether the remedy adopted by Kansas City of
cutting costs to fit the purse will be forced elsewhere
remains to be seen
Ihat such wage cuts will in al; cities seems
Incredible and yet the fact that there can be twelve
million of citizens whose wages have been cut one
hundred per cent would have seemed incredible four
years ago
Of course, the reduction OF wages of those who
work for the cities only means further reduction of
employment for those vino have jobs. 1t means
cutting down of purchasing power and that means
more joblessness.
The problem of maintaining orderly government
will be more pressing the months come unless
something is done to return men to work
Most obviously, any city whose wage payments
are reduced fifty per cent can not long continue to
support government which fitted into the needs
when all we're employed.
There is now a demand for cutting out the frills
but agree on what are frills and what are
stern necessities To some schools may be more i'm
portant than policemen. Such theory sends scare
through the classes that wish protection
just what part of the services now performed by
cities or states can be given up without hurt?

Just Plain Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

JUST have read the plea of a woman who eX
Il presses the truism that it is not nearly so i'm
portant to give American children education as it is
to give them food.
"Close up the high schools" she says, "and divert
the money that goes to them for food. A hungry
child needs precious little education and the three
RS will be enough for most of the well-fed ones"
This has goodly sound but because America is
faced neither by a food nor a money famine it is
not sensible. Closing high schools would not feed
children, in the first place and it would put vast
number of people of work and education back
so far that it would take us decades to recover the
lost ground.
To save the infants of this generation is not
enough by half; We also must consider the sort OF
world we are making for those who will come in a
later age.
THE facts are that literally hundreds of thou
Il sands of children are being fed right now
through the medium of the public schools. All the
vast forces of humanity and home are mustered
solidIy behind them and if we slacken our vigilance
here the entire structure of hardly cviliza-
ton may come tumbling about
And I, for one, not agree that the three RS
constitute sufficient learning to help us in this d.

arithmetic now is needed.
If we ever wanted education, want it now
now more than ever before in the history of the
nation Only it can tide us the difficulties bred
of too sudden development. wastefulness, and the
evils of national emotionalism.
1t well may be that one reason We are in our
present disresSful state is because public education
has been close to the bottom of the list of our ex-
pendtures
Certainly if we had spent tenth much upon
public instruction as We have wasted upon national
defense that has not defended, we might be hap
pier and wiser people.
Before We decide to close the high schools, let's
abolish the R. o. T. c. units. Poor as some of the
professors may be, they of vastly benefit to
the children of the land than the embryo generals

THE WHITE HOUSE MEETING

Announcement that the President and Pres-
dent-elect are to confer again on foreign policy is
good news. 1t is bad enough for the lame duck sys-
tenn to deadlock the government on domestic prob
lens. But it would be suicidal for this to happen
in our foreign relations
The world does not wait on u.s. The drift toward
chaos in Europe and war in Latin America and the
far east continues at an alarming rate American
interests abroad must be protected They can not
be protected during the next fateful six weeks if
the outgoing and incoming administrations fail to
cooperate
The kind of cooperation which President Hoover
and Mr.. Roosevelt happily seem to have achieved
since the Stimson-R Roosevelt conversations is not
unusual. Rather, it has been customary for Presi-
dents-elect to keep in close touch with the White
House on diplomatic matters. Of course the in
centive is greater in such a world emergency
as confronts the nation
1t is not Mr.. Hoover, but Mr. Roosevelt at the
wheel for the next four years, who will get the grief
if there is tampering with the steering gear now
Some of the advance notices of the White House
conference Oh Friday state that the two men will
discuss all major and acute foreign problems except
debts. That is contradictory. For better or worse
the debt issue is interviewer with the other major
problems-especially with the world economic con-
ference, tariffs foreign trade, and disarmament.
Having already agreed in the earlier Stimson
conference on continuance of the far eastern policy
there is not much left for Mr.. Hoover and Mr..
Roosevelt to discuss in the foreign emergency if they
are afraid to mention subjects which may lead to
debts.
There is no reason why they should exclude debts
from the conversation To be sure, they disagreed
last month as to the wisdom of an immediate re-
vival by congress of debt commission. That was
not done 1t no longer is an issue.
The issue now is whether the new administration
will wait until March to explore the problem upon
which it must negotiate with foreign governments
before the summer payments are due; or whether
it will the next six weeks to start the exploratory
machinery to work.
The latter course-which we believe to be the
only sensible one-would require the fullest and
frankest debt discussion and cooperation by the
President and PreSident-elect.

Job for Dentists

DR. HOOTON told the students
Otha dentists were faced with
the opportunity of performing an
important service for mankind.
Dental degeneration is under
mining the health of modern man"
he said, land the orthodontist who
straightens the teeth and slim
ulates the jaws to proper growth
and development, is perhaps the
only modern scientist who def
nitely is combating this adverse
evolutionary tendency of the
human species"
Plans now are being formulated
at the Harvard dental school for
establishment of a research de-
partment to deal with problems
of human evolution. The plans
call for enlargement Of the schools
facilities and endowment.
A number of members of the
schools faculty are working now
on problems related to the evolu-
ton of the face, jaws, and teeth
Of man.
Prof. L. w. Baker has conducted
experiments to demonstrate the
influence which the functioning
of the powerful muscles of the
head have upon the shape of
the face.
He has shown how loss of teeth
in growing animals, by interfering
with the functioning of t h es e
muscles, affects the growth and
shape of the head.
He also is conducting expert
ments to find out how the diet of
a pregnant mother influences the
bones and teeth Of the unborn
infant

SCIENCF
Jaws Growing Weaker
BY DAVID DIETz

DIGGER brains and weaker
ID jaws. That seems to be the
future in store for mankind, &C
cording to DR.. E. A. Hooton, pro-
feSsor of anthropology at Harvard
university. Professor Hooton, who
is author Of book on the origin
of man called up From the Ape"
is one of the worlds chief au-
thorities upon the subject of hui
man evolution.
Dr.. Hooton recently expounded
his views in an address to the
students Of the Harvard dental
school.
Human evolution" he said, "is
largely a matter of brain expan-
sion and jaw reduction. 1t has
reached a stage where we now
have bigger and possibly better
brains than we can use, and
smaller and worse jaws than the
health Of the individual and the
preservation of the species de-
mand.
ut is uncertain how far the
irregular emotion of the teeth and
jaw deformities of modern man
have been caused by the loss of
vigorous function and the atrophy
resulting from the use of soft
cooked food.
zone of the most important
tasks of medical science is to ex-
pertinent and to determine how
far heredity and how far envi-
ronment are at the basis of this
degeneration"

Editor Times-I am submitting
plan to end the present panic
and avert all others. 1 suggest
that the American farmers buShel
be made the standard of exchange
instead of the American dollar,
having a law passed to the effect
that when the American farmers
bushel declines in price, the inter-
est on loaned money must decline
accordingly in percentage to the
price per bushel.
If farmer had loan on his
farm amounting to $4,000, bearing
6 per cent annum, the interest
would amount to $3.50. With corn
at 15c bushel, it would require
300 bushel to pay this interest, but
if corn was go cents a buShel it
would require only 200 bushel.
We must consider these two prices
as f1uctuating prices.
Corn declining from so cent to
IS cents is equal to three-quarters
drop. Under the proposed law,
the interest would be required to
drop from the standard 6 per
cent rate to IL per cent, which is
equal to three-quarters drop along
with the fall of corn.
TToctooJ IF d On t11ic co,,,o 70 1,,o,.
would pay $50, which is three
quarters drop. With corn at Is
cents a bushel, it would require
only 200 bushels. Still the farm
er's 15-cent a bushel would have
the same purchasing power as the
60-cent a bushel
Loan companies would lose
nothing, and the farmers still
would be able to pay, increasing
the business of financial institu-
tons ten-fold and giving the
farmer more time for upkeep of
farm and more surplus money for
improvements, increasing the
value of his land.
Boards of trade would be elm
mated and all the costly farm
boards. Overproduction would be
a lost art. Finance would regulate
farm prices according to the in
terest rate.
Farmers, whisper this to your
neighbor. So now let's &c, Ameri-
can farmers in a crusade to end
this panic and avert all others.

Professor Baker has found that
the feeding of this substance to
the mother has an effect upon the
bones and teeth of the unborn in
FAINT.
This work bears out the theory,
which has been advanced from
time to time, that child's teeth
are influenced by the mothers nu-
triton during the time of preg-
nancy.
Other Investigations now going
on at the Harvard dental school
include a study of the so-called
deficiency diseases, that is, dis
eases due to deficiencies in the
diet.
Professor Percy R. Howe has
shown that deficient diets pro-
mote dental decay and often lead
to determinations of the jaw and
skull.
Professor Howe also has sue
ceeded in making clear the cause
of a disease. previously recognized,
but never explaind in the bones of
prehistoric man, a sort of honey
combing Of the bones of the skull
known as "osteoporosis symme-
trica."
DR.. G. P. Matthews and DR.. A.
Fernald are both carrying on stud
les of the teeth of EskimoS. The
Eskimo is believed to be the only
human race in which dental de-
generation is not manifest.

recovery is due to the fact that
the blood of the patient has de-
veloped the power to overcome
the germ of the disease.
In preventing pneumonia, it is
we'll to bear in mind again that
contact with those who are in
fected is the chief source Of its
spread.
Certainly, a baby should not be
taken into a room in which some
one is suffering from pneumonia.
Mothers must do everything
possible to prevent their children
from coming in contact with other
children who have running noses,
coughs, colds, and sore Threats.
1t is especially important to pro-
tect children against sharp falls
in temperature, which, through
centuries of experience, have been
associated with the onset Of fall

Most men seem to think of it as

Causes built upon the words Of

the world.
Indeed, the first sign of their
decline has been the day when
these causes themselves became

later Peters who took up the
sword.
Yukio Ozaki. 70 years old and
holder of no governmental Office,
now can, by his steadfastness,
move the minds Of his country
men far more than when he sat
in power. Human nature sweeps
along beyond artificial geogra-

Short Journey Home

VUKIO OZAKI walks the deck
l. of a steamer and gazes across
the sea to that horizon which
presently will be smudged with
the first dim outline of the island
empire. He will watch the magic
mountain thrust up its cone
shaped head as the rocky coast
takes on shape and color. And
he will see that Japan which he
has love spread before him and
find it good. For it is not within
the scope of his plan to seek his
rendezvous SorroWfully or to make
the tryst as any gesture Of ne
cation or despair. He merely adds
the necessary last page.
Yukio Ozaki is 70, and before
he left the safety of London's
friendly fog, he said that, in mis-
memoirs, which I leave in lieu of
a gravestone, I have stated the
guiding principles Of a second re-
formation Of Japan"

Upon many occasions men Of
blunted vision have made the
same mistake. In the effort to
stamp out a messenger they have
succeeded in sending his message
laundering across the world.
And Ozaki well may believe that
his own death by violence will
prove the GROWING argument in
his long protest against warlike
Japan. AS long ago as 1920 he
made a speech in the diet against
his nations militarism and said Z:
"Only by its overthrow can the
good repute Of Japan in the world
be restored to its former lustre. +"

Every Day Religion
BY DIR. JOSEPH FORT NEWTON

uERE are words written by
Il Il woman 76 years old, which
we may we'll frame and hang up
in our minds: 81 rejoice in my
life because the lamp still gloWs;
1 seek no thorny ways; I love the
small pleasures of life. If doors
are too low, I bend; if I can re-
move a stone from the path,
do so; if it is too heavy, 1 go
round it, and SO I find something
in every day that pIeases me. And
the cornerstone, my belief in God,
makes my heart glad and my face
shining"
They are the words of Frau
Goethe, or Frau Ala, as her
friends called her, because, like
the sister of Charlemagne, she
knew how to pour out the rich
wine Of life At II she was the
wife of sedate, severe lawyer of
SO, and she had her share of the
griefs and ills which fall to our
human lot.
Her husband lost his mind, lay
an invalid for two years, and she
was left a widow for thirteen years
yet her spirit was not broken
nor did her spring Of joy fail.
OF her six children, three died
~ in infancy and she lost her
only daughter in mid-life. Sol
dierS we're quartered in her home
for months at a time, first French
and then German; and she en-
dllred bombardment when the city
of Frankfurt was shelled-fleeing
for her life.
Yet, through all the ups and
downs of the years, in war and in
peace, in illness and in health, her
simple faith held, and she came
to bright old age, happy and I'M
bowed, busy to the end in the fine
art of making others happy.
She loved play and knew how
to invent new games. She had a
genius for making up stories-now
weird, now fantastic, now fairy
Hke-and in narrating them.
