SPOHSMEN IN DEFEAT

THE Tammany braves in high offices are
l. deserving the sinking ship and taking
diamond-incrusted life preservers with them.
seventy-five mighty Tammany henchnen
in high city positions are asking retirement
and pension before the midnight toll of
Dec. 81.
Pensions of $4,000 year for these bat
teners on public provender will be common
money to assuage and sustain the pam
pered living to which they long have been
accustomed
Who pays? Why, the same John Public
who always pays.
The wholesale retirement on pensions in
most cases will be final on Dec. 81. But there
are exceptions. Some of the officials, such
as Chairman John H. Delaney Of the board
of transportation and Daniel L. Ryan, his CO.
commissioner, are retiring early-for a pur-
pose. They will quit Dec "a.
Messrs Delaney and Ryan have performed
specific services to their city over long pc
Rod of time. They merit the high praise
of the city as they leave office.
But we are thinking of the Tammany joker
accompany their going. The Tammany chief
tainS spying out the barren stretches of po-
Htical swamp and desert stretching four years
hence, are ready to seat two Democratic
henchmen in the places Mr.. Delaney and Mr.
Ryan are leaving.
Mr.. Delaney's successor would receive a
term expiring June 30, 1884; Mr.. Ryans one
ending June 30, 1888. And who are being
thought Of for their places? Eminent transit
experts? Skilled, noted engineers? No. those
mentioned are largely members of the defeat
ed Tammany administration.
This projected afflction of the La Guardia
transit board with the cast-of timber of a
discredited political machine is the most ar
rogant of Tammanys plans to fasten its
henchmen to the new administrations pay
roll and to burden its plans with their incom-
petence.
viii Mayor John P. OBrien, wishing to
retire to a private life of honor and esteem,
act as a political tool in last-minute appoint
ments?
Tammany is out to cripple the new admin
istration in every way imaginable while feath-
ering the nests of as many favorites as pos
sible at the expense of the La Guardia adj
ministration.
Public protest is the only safeguard It
should be prompt, loud and voluminous.

CREWLESS WARSHIPS

CECRETARY OF THE NAVY SWANSON
~ has asked an increase of $500 in the
strength Of the enlisted personnel Of the navy,
urging that the present strength is not
adequate even for peace-time operations.
His request serves as reminder that
maintaining a navy is not simply matter Of
having the proper number of ships. You also
must have the men to operate them.
Sailors are not made overnight. The finest
ship on earth is useless if its crew is poorly
trained, so that 1t neither can maneuver nor
fight as it should.
A navy which lacks manpower is just as
much below standard as one which lacks me-
chanical equipment.
If we are going 70 follow policy of keep
ing our navy ready for any eventuality-and
apparently we are-we must maintain an ade-
quate personnel. Secretary Swanson's request
is not at all unreasonable.

THE INSECT MENACE

. EALIZATION that among Americas very
~ real enemies are its myriads of flying,
crawling, boring creatures is stirring leaders
at Washington TO renewed warfare on insect
pests.
Relief Administrator Hopkins announces
campaign to eradicate malarial mosquitoes from
fifteen states. What relief work could be more
useful that abating disease that costs an esti-
mated s5OO,OOO,oOo annually?
DR.. Henry G. Knight of the United States
department of agriculture urges the develop
ment of new insecticides less harmful to
humans than the arsenicals now used He
suggests rotenone, a remarkable substance
many times more toxic than arsenic to in
Sects yet harmless to men and animals
1t is found in a plant called devils shoe
string" that can be grown on sandy, infertile
soil now idle.
Mrs. Isabella Greenway, Arizona's new
congresswoman urges as a new industry for
her western plains the cultivation of pyrethrum
flowers, now being imported in costly guam
titles from Japan for use in household insecti-
cdes
The insect peril is no idle dream. DR..
Knight says that predatory insects annually
devour 10 per cent of the value of all growing
plants causing the United states an annual
loss of more than $4,000 OOOO 900! The threat is
becoming more serious through a slow spread
of the unwelcone guests, through easier trans
portation across borders and state lines.
through a growing insect resistance to the
usual insecticides. Damage from japanese
beetles, Mexican bean beetles, European corn
borers, citrus red scale and other pests is in
creasing alarmingly. In view of these dangers
the 100000 spent annually by the bureau of
entomology seems pitifully small
Insects never may drive men from the
planet as some alarmists have predicted. But
such a sound expert as DR.. L. o. Howard,
former chief Of the bureau of entomology,
warns that lapse of vigilance will cost us
dear. Insects have dwelt in this world for
forty million years, men for only 100000.
They are very much at home and they have
proved their staying qualities.
With plenty of idle men and public credit
we can now wage a more effective campaign
against the insect foe.

A CCORDING to Alfred E. Smith, "the lat
est fiscal moves of the administration
have undermined the public confidence" He
uses rather harsh words such as paper money
printers" and "crackpots"
Mr.. Smith would get farther with his crit
cism if it were more restrained and closer to
facts
The administration has not lost public
confidence. If Mr.. Smith will get out among
the people in the country he will find that
out
Not that the general public is particularly
sold on the present monetary policy. 1t does
not profess to be an expert in such matters.
But the public is willing to give the Presi-
dent fair chance, knowing that conditions
under the new deal are much better than
under the Hoover-WaH Street old deal.
If ever the public needed to know both
sides Of issue, it is on the question of in
fation. But Mr.. Smith is not doing himself
or his cause any good merely by calling names.
The public is apt to assume that he has no
better argument to offer.
If Mr.. Smith will look at the adninistra
tion policy calmly, he will see that there is
great deal of difference between the Roose-
welt approach and that Of the Thomas inf1a-
tionists. Far from precipitating extreme cur
rency initiation, it was none other than Presi
dent Roosevelt who blocked it in the last
congress. Certainly there is nothing extreme
about his gold-tradng policy so far
We share Mr.. Smiths fear of uncontrolled
initiation. Uncontrolled initiation would be as
disastrous as this uncontrolled depression de-
fatiOn, and would produce equally l1nsound
money. Congress, by all reports. is apt to on
to extreme printing press imitation The only
thing that can prevent it, apparently, is sue
cess of the Roosevelt relation to the point of
an honest dollar.
What is an honest dollar" or Sound
money about which the Smith group talk SO
much? Certainly it is not the March l. 1888
dollar which had more than twice the Dur
chasing power of the 1926 dollar. Using the
1926 dollar to represent 100 the March l. 1888
dollar was at 2O3. BY Nov. l the President
had helped to bring the dollar down to 146
What is the sense in charging Mr. Roose-
welt with wild imitation when he still has far
to go before reaching the Coolidge dollar of
1926?
Sound money would permit the debtor to
pay with dollars of the approximate value
of the dollars he borrowed. That involves re-
f1ation And that. if we understand the Presi-
dents policy, is precisely what he is trying
to achieve Whether he can succeed is an
open question but that such money would be

M. E.TracyS Says:

~ EXPRESSION or no depression, the pioneer
- inc instinct drives ahead. While the field
has been narrowed in several respects, 1t mas

robbed life of many opportunities OF adventure,

made it miserable for producers. That is false

makes room for ten more, just as every improved
device for production opens the door to increSed
consumption if we could only see 1t.
Some people think we have learned to fly, but
we haven't thousand things remain to be
done before air travel becomes common. Two
notable achievements are in the process OF max
ing right now-foanng docks for ocean traffic,
and devices by which passengers can be dumped
out of stricken plane and sent to earth by
parachute in case of accident. You probably
have read about the proposed seadrones-great
open-work, islands of steel 1900 feet long and
800 feet WIDE resting on sunken tanks which
lessen the effect Of wave motion.
CRITICS demur at the venture chiefly be-
~ cause OF the $300o000o for a safe. easy
transportation system that would bring Europe
and America within twentyfour hours Of each
other? Twice that amount was shot away on
battlefield in the great war. and we called it

kick. They tried it at Roosevelt field recently,
however, and with eminent success. Three
men and one woman, sitting as quietly as you
may be while reading this, suddenly were swung
out of the plane through sliding doors and
dropped. They remained seated in their chairs
while the parachutes opened. They foated
down at the rate of nine feet second without
the slightest injury, save in one instance. One
of them was carried TO the top of grandstand
by an unexpected gust of wind and sprained his
ankle slightly when he fell of.
TT sounds kind of unreal, doesn't it? But we
l. are dealing with an unreal life as measured
by the knowledge and capacities of 100 years
ago, and we are going to do many things that
our grandfathers looked upon as impossible
1t used to be believed that human being
lost consciousness after falling 200 or 500 feet,
but parachute jumpers have fallen 10000 feet
before opening their parachutes. We barely are
beginning to understand what men can really do
if surrounded and protected by the right kind
of devices. So. too, we are barely beginning to
understand the latent powers and forces which
wait to be defined and controlled

birth could and should have been avoided; and
the finding presents a sharp challenge both to
the medical profession and to the public.
1t is a challenge to the profession because
the report states bluntly that 81 per cent Of
the avoidable deaths can be laid to the
to the public, because of the fact that people
in general need to be taught to demand the
sort Of care that is needed.
For all our pride in our civilization, the
maternal death rate is higher in America than
in other countries Of comparable rank. The
challenge presented by the academy's report
is one that can not be ignored.

SORRY AFTER EFFECTS

TT is not an easy thing to get at the human
realities lying beneath those statistics
which tell the story of depression and re-
covery.
1t is easy, for instance, to say that 2OOO.-
600 men-or 100000, or whatever the number
may behave gone back to work But it is
hard to look behind the figures and see the
individuals concerned; hard to get at the hui
man values involved although they are all
important.
The National Womens Committee of the
1888 Mobilization for Human Needs recently
made survey among leading employers of
the country to find out just what the last four
years have done to American citizens Their
report makes enlightening reading.
Most employers report that the jobless men
who came back to work have been changed
deeply by the depression. They suffer from
a mental depression not easily dispelled; they
worry about the future; they have in many
cases lost faith in themselves and in society.
They show the effect of long continued
nerve strain. Their efficiency as workers is
impaired by this.
They show an almost pathetic eagerneSS to

the accident rate has risen, because the men,
although out of practice, are anxious to do
as full a days work as possible. Most of the
men returning to work are harassed by debts.
Many have family problems brought on by
the depression.
In very many cases the returning workers
are in poor physical condition. due TO contin-
ued malnutrition
pathetic story comes from Chicago, tell
ing how large industrial firm found that its
new hands were of little value for the first
ten days or so-because they almost invariably
got stomach trouble from overeatingl
great many newly employed men went
without lunches so they could turn more pay
over to their families.
Furthermore, those hardest hit by the de-
preston are not being re-employed. In most
cases. employers are forced by economic neces-
sity to rehire those men who look physically
ft-which usually means that the men who
have been out of work the shortest time are
the first 10 get jobs.
Much more could be printed along this
line But this is enough to show that simply
restoring jobs does not meet the problem fully.
We owe more than work TO these victims of
the depression. Somehow We must give them
a chance TO regain full physical and mental
health.

relief.
1t is believed that $4,000 feet is
the highest a person may go without
using oxygen. Army filters suggest
that oxygen always be given on
reaching 5000 feet while climbing,
and that when coming down, the
oxygen be continued until 1000 feet
altitude is reached.
In mountain climbing, the effects
Of muscular work and the strain
Of physical exertion are associated
with the change in altitude. All
these conditions are accentuated in
a person who happens to have a
weak heart.
Increased strain on the heart by
pumping the necessary blood is such
that people with weakened hearts
should not undertake mountain
climbing or live in exceedingly high
attitudes, unless under the care of
a physician.
