ANOTHER ATTACK ON THE
PRIMARY

Every two years, when the great
majority of state legislatures meet,
a drive is staged in some of them to
cripple or kill the direct primary
This year, both plans are being
tried in Ohio. The primary there is
part of the state constitution. Joint
resolutions have been introduced in
both branches of the legislature for
an amendment to wipe out the pri-
mary, thus restoring the old conven-
tion system. AS witness to the BIZ
partisan nature of boss influence, a
republican introduced this in the SEN
ate, and a democrat in the house.
In addition to these efforts to get
rid of the primary altogether, bill
has been offered to establish a pre-
primary convention; a scheme which
gives machine candidates a big ad-
vantage.
Labor trusts devoutly that both
proposals will be buried in the legis-
lature. Ohio voters have twice passed
on this matter already by decisive
vote. In 1912, the primary was writ
ten into the state constitution by a
majority of 10000, with only men
voting. The verdict in favor of the
primary was almost two to one. In
1926, the question was brought up for

SOON A NEW MR.. PRESIDENT

The Fourth of March draws near.
Comes then new president. Will
the hordes of job and favor hunters
lay off? They will not. Will his
party back him unitedly? 1t will not.
Will he have woes? He will. Will
the country be improved? Who
knows. But everybody hopes. Most
everybody, anyhow

so 1T ISN'T so VERY NEW

In 1919 the magazine Industrial
Management, which is now combined
with Factory, published an article en-
titled, Technocracy'-National In
dustrial Management"
So that Howard Scott didn't offer
anything so very new when he blazed
forth with technocracy in 1888. How
ever, it has to be very old goose
that can't be trotted out in new
feathers.
Technocracy has stirred many
minds into action, and for that let
us give praise. That so many have
also seen that salvation is not by
that ruote also is to the good. Al
gether it has all, seemingly, been fol
the best, as so many things are, ever
when they don't seem to be.
The 1919 article was written BY
William Henry Smith, consulting
engineer and inventor of many ma
chimes.
Howard Scott, however, has ladlet
out the gravy by having bette
stage setting and more opportun'
moment for the offering of cures.
Always when there is widespread,
sickness the cure-all artists do tn
best business.

Capitalists Destroy Homes

Denver, Colo.-Rev Hugh l.. Nc
Menamin, rector of the Immaculate
Conception Church here, declared
American capitalists are responsible
for the appalling increase in broken
homes. He said the demands of big
business for large profits resulted in
starvation wages for men, and when
they became unable to support their
families the women and children were
forced to obtain jobs to make up the
deficit in the family budget.

The Cherry
- Where with eur
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things. sometimes pre-
foundly, sometimes fippantly,
sometimes recklessly. ........

In the midst of continued depres-
sion things happen. Oh, many
things Change is the one thing
eternal.
Let's look at some of the new
things
Into the grocery business there
comes, like flash, what the trade
calls the Cheapies And raising hob
with the established merchants.
Again the word established" loses
some of its meaning, as the word
securities" has done.
A Cheapy store is simply four bare
walls, surrounding vast floor space.
1t can be any old kind of floor, the
poorer the better.
There are glaring lights and circus
type signs all over.
Merchandise is piled in every kind
of pile, stack and heap, apparently
without order-purposely that way.
And prices are slashed down to
where no regular merchant can meet
them.
One such store fills an abandoned
auto assembly plant, doing business
in the thousands of dollars.
Shrunken pocketbooks pour out
pennies to fill the tills of these stores.
Always in low rent districts, these
stores are coming money and sowing
CONSERVATION on the one hand, JOY
on the other. Those that like hot
competition can get it out of these
new Cheapies.
Next: A radio that plays you a
tune for nickle in the slot. You
can thus save your nickel or spend
it and get your tune.
Next: A device that hooks onto
your auto motor at filling station,
draws out some OF the oil, so you can
see what it looks like. If it's dirty the
stations job of selling you a case full
of new oil is easier.
In three minutes the machine will
empty your crank case In three more
it will shoot mixed oil and air into
the case to flush it clean. 1t can be
done while your gas tank is filing
To drain crank case by hand takes
at least ten minutes, usually over a
pit. Change is eternal
Next: An air line, operating radio
to its flying ships, devised dial,
like phone dial, to give ground
operators quick, sure communication
i with ships. The dial selects proper
frequency and volume automatically.
New also: The farm rebellion-it
isn't anything else. The midwest
farmers have taken the law into their
own hands. They intend to keep their
farms, and it is surprising how many
defenders of law and private prop
erty sympathize with the farmers
The farmers simply gather when
auction sales are advertised and by
beetling brows or shotguns keep
away all bidders and the sheriff as
well. Maybe court suits will in the
end set aside these thwarted auc-
> tions, where neighbors bid in horses
at nickle apiece, but for today the
farmers have won. A farmers
council of defense" is in many cases
more potent today than a legisla-
ture.
: AS has been said: Change is eter-
nal Even small change is getting
that way for most folks!

The fifth annual inspection of
motor cars in Delaware will be
held from July Is to August 81 in
elusive. According to announce
ments made, the inspection will be
more rigid this year than ever be
fore. The purpose Of increasing
the inspection regulations is to-
safeguard even more if possible,
the lives of persons riding as well
as the drivers of motor cars. The
inspection to be carried on by the
State Highway Commission, Secre-
tary of States Office and the Del
aware Safety Council, will follow
the law as set forth in the recent
act of the General Assembly. This
act specifies, that within the six
weeks time for the inspection Of
motor cars, every one owning d
car must have the car inspected at
one of the four places announced
for car inspection. Those who fail
to have their car inspected within
this time, will have the license is
sued to them this year rescinded-
This latter provision it is said is
mandatory.

New Scheme to Improve
Grammar of Students

Athens, Ohio.-A unique method
of improving English grammar has
been instituted by the Ohio univer-
sity department of English of the
college Of education, here.
All instructors in the college re-
port to the English department the
names of students heard making err
rOrs in grammar. These students are
then asked to report to DIR. II. r.
Wilson to arrange conference with
graduate students in English who
will give instruction to remedy the
mistakes.
English students of the college
are also jotting down errors in
grammar heard in conversation,
over the radio, and by other means.
Each instructor in the college of
education is requested to make
known to his students a desire that
they should express themselves ac-
curately and efficiently.
The plan has the Endorsement of
all of the English teachers on the
campus and a form letter for stu
dents reported has been devised. No
compulsory examination in English
is now used before graduation; one
may be planned if the present
method works successfully.

Seaplane Always VIII
Be Fastest, Says Expert

st. Louis.-Land planes can never
hope to attain the speed in the air
that seaplanes can, according to
Mai. James III. Doolittle, holder of
tile American Seaplane records.
"Paradoxical as it may SEEM"
Doolittle observed, "airplane speed
in the air is governed by its land
ing speed.
''The pontOOns of a seaplane's
landing gear" he said, permit COM
paratively smooth contact with the
water with a suction effect, COM
pared with the rough bouncing Of
land-plane wheels on ground sur
face, which, at extremely high
speeds, has a tendency to turn the
plane over"
The most powerful engine used in
land-raclng planes today IS about
$50 horse power, while 2,SO0-horse
power engine was developed for the
English seaplane which flew 406
miles per hour, the record. The
land-plane record is 294 miles an
hour.

She dropped a tin can. spilling a
few S. and $40 gold coins on deck.
The boat officer said that he re-

she was going to do with them.
I'm going to throw them in the
bay" he said she told him. "The
world is going to the dogs. Nobody

Damascus
NATIVES CRY EVIL ONE

Beirut.-Times are very hard In
Syria just now. The sun shines.
the skies are blue and the weather
is so perfect that tourists think it
heavenly. but natives believe it has
been sent by the Evil One. The
Syrian winter should be rainy, but
the weeks are slipping sunnily by
with only an occasional evening
sprinkle
Seed is wasted, crops are lost,
farmers are in despair. Wells are
going dry and focks are dying Of
thirst and disease, so that meat
may soon become a great luxury.
Camels recently were sold In the
open market by impoverished own
ers at f2 Syrian each. or about
SLIGO.
One distraction during the dismal
days has been yo-yo. introduced
into Syria recently from Europe.
Children in the streets, messenger
boys on bicycles. conductors on
Beirut's fragile trans, porters
weighted down with rugs, walters
in cafes, merchants selling their
live chickens on the hoof. students
in the university, while away idle
moments with this pastime.
But the yo-yo rolls no more in
Damascus. Yo-yos seen upon the
public highways are confiscated.
A number of leading sheiks
formed themselves into committee
to determine why Ill luck should
thus have fallen on their city and
agreed that the yO-yo was the cause
Of the hardships Perhaps they felt
that the yo-yo was merely a waste
of time, and hence had brought Al
lah's displeasure; perhaps that the
yo-yo had distracted Allah so that
he became confused in his Intention
to send the necessary moisture.
The committee did not explain its
line of reasoning. but simply re-
quested that yo-yo be prohibited.
AS a result policemen on the streets
who spy the toy flying up and down
its string appropriate 1t.
The weather in Damascus, like
that Of the rest Of Syria, continues
to be sunny.

Borrowing to Paw

That delightful air Of utter unreal.
ity which hangs over most Of the war
debt discussions seems to be invest
ing the latest phase Of 1.-THE re-
newed effort to get q settlement of
the Byitish- american debt.
One OF the suggestions, for instance,
Is that the debt be settled by pay
ment Of . lump sum equal to about
tenth Of the capital Wholesome
thing like $500, 900 600. But it is added
that II this were done, Britain would
want to borrow money from the
American public to make the pay
ment. A bond issue would be floated
in the United States, and with the
proceeds England's debt to the United
States would be paid.
One might inquire, playfully, if
such bond issue would get by UNI
der the new federal blue sky law:
or one might ask just what the sense
Is In this business OF borrowing money
from the left-hand pocket to repay q
loan made from the right-hand poo
ket. Either way, 1t looks sort Of UNI
real.
