BY a Sportsman, E. l..
Your unfailing interest shown
during the fight against pollution
should not be overlooked at a time
like this.
Recently the conservation depart
ment of this state started cam
paign for deer. This is preposterous,
as the original cost that it takes
to get deer into this state is moth
ing compared OF the cost after they
are once here.
The Indianapolis Star on Nov. 9
carried an article written by presi-
dent of a club in Huntington, Ind,
who seems to think that Indiana
can be compared with Michigan,
Colorado, Pennsylvania and other
states that have deer and have a
place properly kept for deer. Please
tell me where, in Indiana, deer can
be placed.
The only halfway place suited
for deer is in the southern part of
the state, and even there the space
isn't wide enough but that a high
powerful rifle could reach across the
whole place and into some COM
munity or house nearby and endan-
ger the lives of those in that Sec
ton.
The gentleman from Huntington
states that he and his son visited
these other states and had deer to
eat out of their hands, and he tries
to disrupt the idea that deer eat
shrubs, trees and other plants by
stating that they offered the deer
crackers, leaves and grass, and that
they ate all but the grass. Natur-
ally. He doesn't suppose for one
minute deer would take the thing
that it can get at any time in pref
erence to ice cream and cake, does
he?
The deer question should be left
for states that have places for
them, and deer in this state would
be profitable to no one. 1t would
cost sportsmen from $25 900 to $780,
600 of their money for the original
cost, and plenty more after they are
here. I feel sorry for the farmers
in the section where deer would he
put. 1t would employ more game
wardens to watch that section, and
they couldn't see every deer that
was shot, anyway. So what would
you gain? Nothing but grief.

MANY persons having !nfantile
1V1 paralysis are suffering from
paralysis and deformity because
they failed to get the proper treat
ment by competent specialist. 1t
isn't too late, however, to correct
such trouble even in the acute stages
of this disease.
Infantile paralysis attacks in an
insidious manner in many cases
and physicians frequently see para
lyzed children who have had this
disease without recognizing its true
character. In the presence of an
epidemic, the discovery is likely to
be made early. When epidemics are
not present, however, the condition
may be overlooked.
Infantile paralysis is due to an
infection which attacks the cells in
the front columns of the spinal cord.
These cells control the movement of
the limbs and muscles. When the
cells are inflamed greatly it is i'm
possible to move the limbs, but after
the inflammation disappears and
if the cells have not been destroyed.
the movement may return.

NOV that prohibition is added
~ to our list of lost causes I
hope drinking will be taken out of
the drawing room and put back into
the gutter.
1t has been a real experience to
have lived through the dry era
Since the DAY when the eighteenth
amendment was written into the
Constitution with so much hope and
joy, we have seen gin-guzzling upon
a scale that was never before be-
leved possible. Drunkenness put on
the garments Of responsibility. Con-
vention, decorum and dignity fed
out the window when cocktails came
in at the door. Society from coast
to coast, from the metropolis to the
crossroads, became pie-eyed. Drink
ing was no longer vice. 1t became
one of the fine arts.

ington man was headed, "Hoosier
Sportsmen for Deer in Indiana -
Was he assuming the attitude that
he is the only sportsman in Indi-
ana? It is up to every individual
to voice his opinion in the matter,
so write to the state department or
your paper and say what you think.
By Tech Mother.
1t is with a feeling of deep regret
I read of the death of Robert Craw-
ford, a Tech pupil, who was struck
near Michigan street last Thursday.
Since the widening of Michigan
street the approach to this street
from all directions is hazardous.
We have signed petitions to have a
stop sign at State and Michigan
streets but to no avail.
Everything is done to speed up
traffic and make it pleasant and
fast sailing for the motorist. He
must not be detained in any way,
but little in comparison is done to
safeguard the pedestrian.
At Arsenal avenue and Michigan
street, safety zone was erected on
the opposite side of the street
where people were used to getting
off the cars for at least twenty
years. Now the automobile has full
sway and when you get off the car
you have to stand near the street
car so the machines can whiz by.
Several accidents have occurred
here. One woman had her coat
caught in the street car door and
would have been jerked with the
car starting if it hadn't been for
the presence of mind of another
woman who jerked her coat out.
1t wouldn't hurt these motorists
to slow down as they approach a
school attended by almost 5000 pu-
pills. We have good laws but not
thorough enforcement. People are
not afraid. If they were, they would
drive the Golden Rule" way. Let

tiers have been carried home, limp
and unconscious, by their escorts.
1t has not been pretty sight.
Indeed nothing could conceivably
be worse than the conditions we
endured in the 20's. The way now
lies open and with our moral lesson
well learned, we should be able to
devise better methods Of dealing
with what will probably remain a
major problem until the end of
time
The younger generations perhaps
never will be teetotalers, but they
will, I can imagine. handle their
liquor better And although I always
have battled for feminine rights
and believe theoretically We should

still do like my women sober.

The irony of prohibition, however,
lies in the fact that it made steady
drinkers Of so many women. Con-
ceived and created, as one might
say, in the feminine brain; spon-
sored, battled for, and regarded by
so many Of us, as a holy cause, it
remained for the dry law to set the
American woman of upon ire
mendous spree, the first she ever
had known.

Il tidal wave of equal rights. and

It Seems
to Me
by HAYWOOD BRoUN=

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-They tell
4 me that radio is still in its
infancy, and sometimes I wish it
would stay there.
I like it for football games and
for Stoopnagle and Budd and Jack
Benny and Rudy Vallee and Burns
and Allen and the speeches of John
P. OBrien. But I want radio only
when I want it. I have no desire
to have it sneak up on me.
This morning at nine minutes
past I hailed a taxi in a heavy
traffic jam. My nerves are never
much good before noon, and so
leaped one and a half feet from
the cushioned seat when a voice
directly in my ear screamed out,
There's blood upon your hands,
Mike Cunningham"
TITS the radio" explained the
driver. Maybe you'd rather have
little music or health talk"
WXYZ and Sudden Death
LIE fumbled with the dials, and
l. the southbound truck missed
us by about five inches.
Just let it ride" I expostulated.
I'D rather take my chances with
the murder mystery"
81 can make it louder" he sug-
gested as the motorman damned on
his brakes and failed to hit us.
Volume, subject matter and
treatment are all perfectly swell"
assured him. I'D like to reach 100
Broadway before o'clock"
you will now hear the second
episode in the story of Count Me
phisto," said the announcer. Jack
has told Alice that Mary will not die
because of the poison, but Nancy in
fit Of jealousy has just bought
stiletto which she has hidden in
her blouse. Harold, of course,
knows nothing of this, and Mrs.
Preston still is in Chicago"
Lucky Harold, lucky Mrs. Pres
ton," I thought to myself.
The plans of the diamond mine
are hidden in the floor of Ralph's
Park avenue apartment" continued
the announcer, but All Fong saw
his master place them there and is
awaiting his chance to steal them.
But first, of course, he must give
Terry the slip"
I raped on the window and
warned the driver not to come quite
so close to the elevated railroad
pillars, and it must be that even in
the brief alteration which fol-
lowed I missed something of the
plot, for when I leaned back into
the seat again, I distinctly heard,
And every one of our overcoats is
guaranteed not to shrink or change
color in six months. And, remem-
Der, these genuine Scotch cheviots
can be obtained on easy payments"

After any ex-soldier, or any
other person of this United States
read your article, "a Candid Note
on War Debts" do you wonder at
the great number of yelps let out
by the ex-dough boy Who no
doubt, still is wondering what the
great war was all about? But aft
er reading your editorial, it should
make it clear to a few of them
who really thought they were
fighting to make the world safe
for democracy.

On Life
BY HAROLD TRENCH

BY HAROLD FRENCH
I have passed through myriad wood
lands
And am so weak, so weak.
I found long ago that oaks have
lashes
And willows speak.
For the oaks have beat me for
weary miles
And the willows have Knocked me
aloud,
And at last I have stopped where
once walked
Erect and proud.
I have bowed down to the world at
last;
What use to fight?
Under such constant battering
Nothing remains upright.
Beliefs? Ideals? What matters
If the worlds wrong?
No use fighting,
1t is too strong.

1t seems as though Franklin D.
Roosevelt has some strange bed
fellows these days when such stall
wart Republican as Charles w.
Jewett in a speech to the Irvington
G. o. P. Club said Republicans must
strive for a more equitable distribu-
ton of wealth, government control
of credit, and higher wages and
shorter hours.
Mr.. Roosevelt advocated these
things long before he became Presi-
dent, as we recall one of his for
gotten man" speeches, and he has
been striving ever since March to
accomplish these things. 1t has
been twenty years since people have
heard a Republican mention such
policies, and then it was the late
Teddy Roosevelt who uttered any
thing similar to the ideas of the
present MIR. Roosevelt.
heartily indorse the words of
Mr.. JeWett and ask any one to help
Franklin D. Roosevelt in the
troublesome days. Nobody can deny
that he is trying hard and doing
everything human being or a gov
eminent can do to help the country,
and against some StupendOuS odds
and opposition.

1t is estimated that leasing 49,
000,0 900 acres of cotton land by the
agricultural adjustment admins
tration from the owners will Danish
at least 100000 tenant farmers from
the land and set adrift more than
a million persons in the south
Strengthening some 100000 pigs to
raise the, price of pork and curtaiI-
ing the future supply will throw
thousands of farm hands out of a
job in the north.
If it takes twenty bushels of corn
to raise a hog and fatten it for
market, the 100000 900 bushels these
pigs would have eaten, will have to
be disposed of. If this corn is used
to heat public school buildings as
was done last winter in Nebraska,
this will throw many coal miners
out of work. Without work, these
millions of farmers, miners, and
their families will consume less
corn, pork and cotton.
Why wouldn't it be a more sensi-
BILE and humane plan to load 50,-
900, 900 of our poor white and unem-
ployed people on ships and dump
them fifty miles from shore?

Rate Slash Proposed With End
Of Discounts to Ease
Depression Burden

District water users will realize
a saving of 100000 during the
fiscal year 1885 if the Budget
Bureau approves plans of the Dis
trict Commissioner to slash water
rates here by Is per cent.
The proposed reduction was sub
mitted, it was learned at the Dis
trict Building today, as part OF
the proposed budget for the COM
ing fiscal year in lieu of the pres
ent plan which allows a 10 per
cent discount on all bills paid
within IS days.
More Water Asked
In addition to the proposed flat
cuts, the District heads are seek
ing to increase the amount OF
water allowable under the mini
mum bill from $500 cubic feet
a. year to 10000 cubic feet.
This increased water allowance,
with the proposed rate slash,
would be tantamount to a cut OF
one-third in present water rates,
it is estimated. Present water
revenues total approximately ST.
100000 a year.
The present minimum rate for
metered water is $8.75 a year.

additional 100 cubic feet used.
This minimum under the pro-
posed plan would be $6.57, with
5A cents a 100 cubic feet over
10000.
Would Ease Burden
Rates for unmetered water at
present are $685. a year for q
two-story house with a 16-foot
frontage. An additional 81 cents
is charged for each foot of
frontage over Is. while one-third
is added to the basic bill for each
story over two. This basic rate
of $685. would become $7.39.

Flag Chief Assails u. S. Public
For Buying japanese Novelties
Importations Called
"Shoddy" Misuse Of
Stars and Stripes

Strongly supporting the action
of the Boston police in placing a
ban on the sale of the Japanese
novelties which burst into Ameri'
can flags when placed in water,
Col. James A. Moss, president-gen-
eral of the United States Flag AS
ISOLATION, today placed the blame
for misuse of the flag upon the
American public.
It is the public's parsimony that
creates a Japanese market for
cheap, shoddy" representations
of the American flag, and, conse-
quently, results in a wide distri-
button of inaccurate reproductions
of the Stars and Stripes, Colonel
Moss asserted.
Education of the public to the
point where thel will refuse to
save few pennies by buying the
Japanese novelties is the only
nationwide solution, Colonel Moss
pointed out. The action of the
Boston police superintendent
Martin H. Kings an individual
one and well merited, in his
opinion.
But such steps, Colonel Moss
emphasized, are entirely up to the
individual State. The only Fed.
eral statute enacted in regard to
proper observation of the respect
due our national emblem prevails
only in the District of Columbia,
he said. All States save one
Kentucky-have similar statutes,
but they vary considerably in de-
tail, he asserted.
Kentuckians' view that they do
The Washington times., 1933-11-06

not need a law to enforce respect
for the flag, Colonel Moss charac
terized as "the bunk" Violations
are widespread, he emphasized
hundreds of letters coming to his
association each year from all
parts of the country protesting
misuse and dissertation.
Colonel Moss said:
81 think the situation is all
wrong. If the Japanese flood
the country with millions of
cheap limitations of the flag,
which naturally cannot be
accurate, and the American
public continues to buy them,
it's the fault Of the public. I
don't blame the JapS."
