KNOW THY LIQUOR

ERIEND, carefully study thy liquor, after

wetness! The Lord only knows what the hard
drinks to be in circulation presently will do
to you.
The firms now making most cheaply indus
trial alcohol from sugar and cane molasses
propose to produce hard beverages. To con-
vert raw alcohol into such you mix with it
water and some f1avoring extract that satisfies
your demand for bouquet"
The old line distillers, with only four mil
lion gallons of aged whisky in storage to meet
the savage thirst prevailing, propose 70 relieve
the threatened distress by blending" or cree
tifying," which means one part aged whisky
to some ten parts of green whisky or diluted
alcohol.
Then there also will be the ubiquitous boot
logger, who is an artist at "bouqueting" and
"rectifying," and who, also being Short Of aged
liquor, will not hesitate to rectify with mate
rails that would start whiskers on a hard
boiled egg.
Only four million gallons of genuine whis-
ky, and even that to be turned from its nat
ural effects upon a fellows insides - brains

Animal Tests for Rheumatic Ills Fail

! velop the condition affecting the
joints.
Persons dying from rheumatic
fever develop a certain type of
Inflammation in the tissues of the
heart which is characteristic of the
disease. This apparently is caused
by the specific toxin, poison, or bac-
terial virus which is the cause of
rheumatic fever
Medical scientists, therefore, have
concentrated their attention par
ticularly on this change in the
tissue and have tried to test on
animals various toxins that might
cause rheumatic fever.
A particularly interesting point is
the fact that this disease does not
seem to occur with any frequency
in tropical or warm climates. The
reason for this is unknown. Many
people think it is associated with
the lessened amount of infection Of
the throat.
There seems to be some indication
that chronic cases of rheumatic
fever tend to improve if they are
taken to tropical areas. But some
cases actually relapse under these
conditions. 1t depends. Of course, on
v1rulence of the infection.

MYTH repeal Of the eighteenth amendment

three billion-dollar public works program well
under way hundreds of thousands of checks
going to farmers and the government mobiliz-
ing vast sums for credit extension, times ought
to improve.
We must not forget, however, that much Of
this effort represents a circular rather than a
creative movement. If liquor brings in large
amount of work, it only will be because of in
creased drinking. That means the diversion Of
money from other channels.
If the farmers are getting checks as readily
for uncultivated land, or ploughed-in crops it
is only because consumers foot the bill by pay
ing process taxes, and that means more diver
sion of money.
OF all undertakings to which the govern
ment is committed, the public works program
and Russian recognition would seem to promise
most by way of permanent benefit.
THIS is particularly true of the latter The
L establishment of normal trade relations
with Russia opens door which not only has
been closed for sixteen years, but which should
be much wider than it ever was under the
czars.
While the immediate results may be less spec
tacular than some optimistic advocates of Rus
sian recognition predict the permanent advan-
tages are obvious.
We are not re-establishing Russian trade fol
year or ten years, but without limit as to time
What it represents now is Of small significance
compared to what it can be made to represent
in the future.
Our mechanical superiority interlockS with
Russia's greatest need. Nor should that need
be interpreted as temporary. 1t will be long
time before Russia is supplied adequately with
modern machinery, and when she is, we PROB
ably shall have created enough improvements
to warrant doing the job all over again.
OF no less Importance, Russian recognition
" should inspire the development of diff
ferent attitude toward world trade-not new
attitude, since it characterized this country's
development until the last few years - but an
attitude which has been laid aside during the
depression.
There is no hope for permanent recovery I'M
til we begin to realize the necessity for increased
consumption not only here but throughout the
world until we utilize our energy and resources
to promote it and stop imagining that it has
been brought to a halt
Consumption is not and never has been con-
trolled by what people need, and what people
are able to produce at any given time. 1t is a
matter of confidence, education, and the desire
for improvement. The great factors of conSump-
ton today were scarcely known two hundred or
even one hundred years ago.
The only basis on which work can be pro-
vided for the modern world is the constant crea-
ton of improvements on the one hand and an
equally constant effort to sell them OH the

A CONSUMERS BUREAU

MANY an American taxpayer about to make
an important purchase and unable to
get accurate information about the quality
of the roofing or plaster or whatever it was
he was buying has wondered Just why his
government should use his money to do such
research work for business and not for the
buyer
For years the United States bureau of
standards with a wealth of technical informa-
ton at its command has tested structural
materials, fire-resisting properties clay prod
uctS, textiles, has worked on color standardized
ton, sugar Standardization, sound investiga-
ton, effect of high temperatures and numerous
other problems, all for the benefit of CONNER
cial manufacturers, builders, and the govern
ment purchasing departments.
It's information has not been available to
the buying public on the theory that an I'M
favorable report on product would damage
the manufacturer.
Today, with the consumer being recog-
nized as at least as important in industrial
recovery as employers and workers, it would
seem to be an excellent time to convert the
bureau Of standards into an agency of service
to the citizens and taxpayers of the country
who pay for its upkeep.
Consumers are going to have to pay more
for goods of all kinds, but they aren't going
to pay unless they can be assured of quality
and they should not be expected to do so.
They should have an unquestoned right to
know that articles which they buy fulfill
standard specifications and live up to claims
made by the seller.
II the government undertakes to give such
service it will not be doing so to the detri-
ment OF business. No more unfair means of
competition can be found than that which
cheats in quality, If the government were to
establish standards and certify all goods which
live up to them; if buyers were able to rely on
these Qualifications, then competition would
be put on reasonable and profitable basis.
Unable to compete by sweating labor or by
cheating the buyer, inefficient industries would
be forced TO efficiency in plant operation, for
efficiency alone would make low prices pos
sible
Congress cut the annual appropriation for
the bureau of standards last year. This winter
it should increase the allowance, and accom-
pany the money with new program.

A S much as scientists have been
n using animals, such as guinea
pigs, as subjects in their attempts
to find causes and cures of human
ailments, they have failed so far
to make any. progress by this
method in the study Of rheumatic
heart disease, or rheumatic fever,
one of the most serious human
diseases.
The reason for this difficulty is
that it is impossible to reproduce
a condition in animals similar to
the human rheumatic fever, by in
lection of the streptococci, Or
germs, found in the human cases.
AS a result, the medical world
still is in the dark about the cause
of this disease. Since the cause,
however, must be present through
out the world and certain people
develop the disease, there must be
some individual sensitivity to this
disease.
Moreover, some people infected
with the streptococci get heart dis
ease, others get Inflammation Of
the joints, others develop chorea,
or st. Vitus dance, and some show
trouble with the skin.

It Seems
to Me
by HEYWOoD BRoUN.

NEW YORK, Nov. Backward
L = P. Mulrooney, chairman Of the
New York alcoholic beverage con-
troll board. has issued the rules I'M
der which drinking may be done
after Dec. 5.
1t is to be assumed that the board
desires to encourage temperance. a
sound mind in a sound body, and
so on. 1t has gone about this in
the worst way possible
For instance, the regulations pro-
vide that liquor may be served only
at tables in legitimate hotels. res
taurantS, clubs. etc. IN other words,
there are to be no more saloons,
and a saloon is place which has a
brass rail and a bar.
can think of no device better
calculated to encourage oyerindul-
gence. I am afraid that no single
member of the board has the
slightest personal knowledge Of the
habits of drinking men and women.
The bar is the resort Of the lady or
gentleman who wants just one
quick shot before getting on to
work and duty. How often have I
heard the phrase: Il haven't time
to sit down; let's have it here"
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1933-11-13

NIOW. naturally, few OF us are
~ utterly Spartan or precise. I
have known the one-drink compan-
ion to say, well, let's have just one
more" Upon occasion I have even
heard the friendly words, This
round is on me- But once the
ritual of treating and being treated
has been complied with, the cere-
mony is over. The column gets
written, another chapter Of the
novel is completed, the case is
briefed, the waltz is finished.
Sitting down at a table brings in
an entirely new set Of factors. The
board is trying to fight not only hui
man nature, but Newton and the
apple. Did Mr.. Mulrooney and
his associates figure at all on the
pull of gravity? 1t takes not only
a certain amount of physical effort,
but also a deal of character to heave
yourself up out of a chair once you
have lowered yourself into its
depths.
OF course, the board may go fur
ther and insist that nothing but
church pews be permitted in any
drinking place, or that a tack be
placed in every chair. But if these
restaurants are allowed to provide
their patrons with the sort of chair
which more or less rises up to meet
the customer and molds itself
around him, he will drink far more
than if he stood rather uncomfort-
ably beside a bar.

made a record for promotion of
various pieces of legislation which
would, through extending the nom
quota provision, or otherwise, open
holes in our protective immigration
dixie, which holes might be in time
further enlarged so that the deluge
might follow. The present suggeS-
ton is in line with that policy.
If large numbers of Chinese and
Japanese are entering surreptitious-
ly (the same is true of other ma
tionalities) it is because congress
and the administration fail to take
the necessary steps to enforce the
law against illegal entry. Under a
continuation of that lax policy the
number of illegal entries from Asia
would not be decreased by granting
1876 Japanese the permission to
come in through the ports.
Canada, Australia and this coun-
try have had experience with
Japan's good faith in keeping
agreements in connection with i'm
migration. Japan'S promise to
Theodore Roosevelt (see his auto
biography and his telegram to the
California legislature, February,
1900, was that under the Gentle
mems agreement there would be no
increase of japanese population in
continental United States, and that
entrance of laborers would be pre-
vented. The record shows that be-
tween 1907 and 1920, under opera
ton of that agreement, japanese
population in continental United
States trebled. In that same period
the number Of japanese "laboring
men" $50 classified in the manifestS
by the Department. who entered the
United States was 5000. These fig
ureS are quoted from the United
States immigration bureau records
by Ichihashi in his Japanese in

ship is caused because women are
now in the professions and competi-
tors of men in business. But even
for that, must we relinquish our
sense Of justice?
Frankly, women would be foolish
to renounce, deliberately and will
ingly, the rights they have won with
so much difficulty and for which
they have struggled for so many
centuries. We may, like men, bow
to the inevitable, but it would be
silly indeed to go down without a

Americas big job right now is to

that by leaving women out Of our

De Pauw university. discovers that twice as
many men as women dream of being nude.
1t takes the Salaried psychologist to salts
factorily represent the little busy bee at its
busiest. There is nothing very remarkable
about Professor Middleton's discovery Of mans
super nudity in dreamland. In fact, the ma
ioritv OF men have that all-stripped complex,
awake or dreaming. Indeed, the professor can
plow up much larger and more brilliant
psychological effects by delving into the dream
land in which men circulate in the near-nude.
Often men have Topped a single garment and
flown from the brink of a high precipice to
land in the pleasant, green valley below upon
what appeared to be a soft, NOISY bank, until
the sleeper hit the bedroom floor. There have
been numerous Greenland instances where
gentlemen in the near-nude, meaning suS-
penders only. have walked in upon social
functions and labored their best to make

writer clad in hat and socks, walked into
