BACK TO BOURGEOISIE!

IF you ever wonder just what the Russian
4 experiment is going to look like twenty
years from now, you might be interested to
learn that golf course is being built in Mos
COW.
To begin with, Moscow never before has
had golf course. And in the second place,
Communist writers have united in calling golf
"a hopelessly bourgeois game"-a criticism
which seems entirely justified
Somehow, it is a little hard to imagine
earnest Communists getting a kick out of golf.
1t just naturally isn't game that promotes
class consciousness. 1t doesn't belong in the
Russian picture at all. The aura of rugged
indivdualism hangs over it.
If Soviet Russia goes in for golf, it is Offer
ing the capitalistic world a pretty fair-sized
opening. golf-playing Communist is half
converted.

ANOTHER LIQUOR EXPERIMENT

ANO1 HEX LIQUOR EXPERIMENT
lust a year after President Roosevelts
- election, the eighteenth amendment falls,
rejected by the American people. On Dec. 5,
actual repeal viii 90 into effect.
The dizzy tempo in which the states have
acted shows that we are in an age Of sudden
change. The unity Of their chorus shows
the depth Of resentment against laws that
violate the popular will.
Contrary to warnings Of the die-hard drys
the country will not be plunged into sudden
chaos and debauchery On Dec. 5. OF the
nineteen wet states, ten have passed control
laws and the other nine are calling special
sessions to do so.
The next year or two will be a time Of
experiment in liquor control by the states.
Out Of this laboratory may come laws fitted
to each regions habits and ideals
Already a national attitude seems to be
forming. 1t is one of moderation. There is
growing agreement that the laws should dis
tinguish between beer and wine, on the one
hand and hard liquor, on the other. A mini
mum of regulation of the former and maxi
mum regulation of the latter, it is felt, will
promote temperance.
Vets and drys also are coming to agree
that legal liquor can not be made to balance
all the budgets, and that attempts to over-tax
it would invite smuggling and bootlegging.
The tryout period just ahead will test the
ability Of the states effectively to regulate the
commercial liquor interests. If the states fail
in this the people, in self-protection probably
will demand elimination Of the private profit
motive through public monopoly Of the liquor
traffic.

M. E. Tracy Says:

1T is conceivable that: Henry Ford can be
L made to sign the code, or lose a lot of bust
ness, if not shut up shop.
Steel manufacturers can be forced to sell rails
at $35 per ton, regardless Of cost.
Textile mills can be stopped from buying new
and improved machinery.
A million retail stores can be persuaded to
give up bargain leaders, bargain days and bar
gain Easements, without the loss of trade
An even greater number of wheat and cotton
growers can be successfully watched to see that
none of them cheats on the promised reduction
of acreage or the processing tax.
The Federal Reserve System can be discour-
aged from issuing bulletins which may reflect
unfavorably on NRA.
And so on ad inhnitum.
DUT our experience with prohibition makes it
ID look like a big contract.
Furthermore, from just what angle would we
expect the development of buying and building
psychology?
Please remember that the success of this
whole show depends on the men and women who
stand outside the counter that it can get no.
where without their liberal and enthusiastic CO.
operation.
Most Of them are producers Of one kind or
another, and as such are coming in sharp con-
tact with all these regulations which, though in
tended to give them a better chance have
created certain degree OF apprehension and
alarm.
Last March, they embarked on what they
supposed was a great cooperative movement for
recovery. Right now it looks more like a crusade
TO compel them to sign certain agreements, to
discourage criticism, to create purely artificial
atmosphere.
The time has come, perhaps. to ask ourselves
whether the real objective of those ballyhooing
NRA is to obtain temporary relief or lay the
foundations for a social experiment
Tor one, I am not opposed to the minimum
l. wage shorter hours, or a larger share for
workers in the profits Of industry.
But we can have all that without so much
conversation about compliance and the right Of
collective bargaining.
If these codes are not contracts they are
nothing and if contracts. where does the right
to break them through strike or lockout come in?
Either the government is undertaking to
regulate wages and hours or it is not, and that,
too. whether through voluntary or imposed codes.
Either the purpose is to guarantee the worker
equitable conditions through government inter-
vention or it is merely shadow boxing
If it is shadow boxing the quicker it stops
the performance the better it will be for all con-
cerned. II it means business, then both sides of
the capital and labor controversy should be COM
PEELED to live up to codes when and after they
are approved One side can't be hog-tied and
the other left foot-looSe. We have got to go
much farther than we have in this business of
fixing wages and hours through government in
tervent1on, or crop 1t.

presume that you want $500 calories
day. You must have at least 100
grams of protein for growth and
repair of tissue. One hundred grams
Of protein provide 400 calories.
The rest of your diet provides
the energy. 1t consists of carbo-
hydrates and fat. Each gram of
carbohydrates provides four calories,
and each gram of fat provides nine
calories.
It takes 1885 grams to make an
ounce, and 1885 grams to make a
pound. Therefore it requires little
more than four ounces of protein
daily to provide 100 calories.
There are few foods which are
pure protein or pure carbohydrate.
Egg white is almost pure protein
and sugar is pure carbohydrate.
Dietitians have prepared tables that
give the amounts of protein, carbo-
hydrate, and fat in various foods.
If you want to eat understanding
ly, you should have these tables
handy.

The food you eat has to be
burned up in your body to supply
the energy you need in work and
play. To burn this food, you
breathe in oxygen. The energy de-
veloped by this process is used in
construction Of your muscles and in
maintaining temperature Of your
body.
A starving person still can be
quite active, both physically and
mentally, but he will lose weight
because in the absence of food, he
will burn up his own body with the
oxygen that he breatheS.
The more work you do the more
oxygen you must have and the more
food you must eat to keep your
weight stationary.
Physicians have a way of learning
the minimum activity Of the human
body by measuring what they call
its basal metabolisrn.
This is a measure of the oxygen
intake in the body after the per-
son has had no food for twelve hours
and has rested quietly for a while

Nov, after all, we have had
~ chance to study two methods
Of handling radical agitation in
New York Mr.. Whalen said that
there was a lot of law at the end
Of a nightstick, and as a result we
had two or three messy and wholly
unnecessary riots.
MulrOOney as Police Commissioner
took quite a different tack, and
during his regime there were many
speeches, demonstrations, mass
movements and so on, but very
little disorder If there ever was a
city in which freedom Of speech and
assembly should be vigorously pre-
served it is New York.
I suppose this city contains more
different brands Of political opinion
than any metropolis in the world.
And clashes between rival factions
are not unknown. And yet on the
whole we have managed to live with
each other tolerably we'll by allow
ing even the most violent and I'M
popular of agitators to have t r
say.
1t can not fairly be said that in
New York freedom Of speech and
protest are mere old-fashioned
ideals founded on the teachings Of
that sentimental philosopher, Mr..
Voltaire. On the contrary, this
tolerance has been proved a useful
and practical procedure in our
city.
I think it would be a. grave
mistake to have a mayor who has
shown that he is practically color
blind in the matter of dissenters.
If Joe Mckee honestly thinks
Fiorello La Guardia is a Com
munist, then it would hardly be safe
for any one Of US to open his mouth
to say, I view with grave alarm -
At this point policeman's club Will
come down "whack!" and there will
rise the cry, why don't you go back
where you came from?"
I wouldn't like that at all I was

NEW YORK, Nov. SITS all over

has been more interesting than

there was always the need of a good
copy reader or a superb stage direc-
tor.
Most Of the gentlemen involved
did hold their fire until the last
few days. but even so there was a
vast amount Of repetition. They said
too much and we of the press print
ed too much. The differences in
point of view which separate the
candidates are by no means unim-
pOrtant. but I do believe that La
Guardia, OBrien. and Mckee might
each have outlined his platform in
not more than 500 words and let it

For instance. in the last few days
Of the campaign, Joe Mckee began
his attack on La Guardia as a
red. If it amused Mckee to in
dulge in this somewhat silly sort
of tackling the straw man, I suppose
that might well come under the
head of his own business. But after
the sixth or seventh reiteration it
wasn't funny any more.

The SenSatiOnaliSm of DR. Athearn'S
attitude toward his dismissal from
Butler university amply reveals
what may have been most objec-
tionable to the board of directors.
There have been runors for a long
time that this action was to take
place, and DR.. Athearn may not
have been so shocked as he appears
to be and as he would let the read
ing public, SO credulous, to accept
only one side Of the story. Believe
the silence of the board may be
more ominouS and more eloquent
than all his unfortunate or pub
lefty
A man who has dismissed under
show, the old and trusted faculty
members of the university, only to
replace many of them with his
friends; a man who has certainly
been an "infationist" in all his edu-
cational methods, and who did not
hesitate to let the world know about
his mighty activities; a man who
tore down the customs and tradi-
tions of the past overnight, is GER
tainly not as desirable as one who
will let the good of the past endure
and will make any necessary
changes in a subtle manner.

But just for the sake of argument

he says the NRA is unconstitu-

1t has been upheld by several
