WHO IS UNETHICAL NOW?

A physician writing on stationery of a state board of education and signing himself super- visor of health and physical education says a newspaper article of mine pointing out the peril to the victim when the peculiar method or resuseiation taught by the Hmerean rrane Mea pressure respiration has been brought to his attention by member of his class in hrst aid for Girl Scout executives.
 These great ones never see anything in the paper It has to be brought to their attention.
 The doctor advises me that my criticism of "pulmotors and lung motors Is substantiated by himself and others affiliated with Red Cross first aid work. But he seriously objects to "any destructive criticism of the splendid program of the Red Cross.
 ITO ridicule our procedure in teaching
 the. prone pressure method and brand us
 publicly as teachers of funny stunts IS un-
 ethical to say the least. If our present
 method Is so entirely out of order, and
 you have proof to that effect, would 1t not
 the staff in Washington and demonstrate tho correct procedure?
 How am to meet the staff in Washington? Shall go hat in hand and try to crash the gate at one of tho meetings of the august staff? 1 have here a simple little booklet which de- scribes precisely what Is wrong with the meth the correct method which was given to the world by Sir Edward Schaefer-whose name Is notably absent from Red Cross versions Of the method. I think even physician "afiili- ated" with the Red Cross can understand my criticism of the method. I should be glad to send any physician or any Red Gross employe  Resuscitation booklet, provided he or she sends a stamped envelope bearing the address. To others the booklet will be mailed on receipt of a stamped envelope and dime. | l don't care a hoot whether my criticism Of the fatal error in the Red Cross method Is "unethical". What I am concerned about Is the saving of life.
 | The doctor affiliated with the Red Cross and drawing pay from n the state speaks % to or our UT that.
 A few years ago I was "unethicar' enough to | ridcule and condemn little funny stunt that was then advised in the official Red Cross first 1 aid manual, namely the lifting of the victim in the jack-knife position to get water out of | the lungs. After had pounded away at that error for year two 1t was quietly. oh, very quietly deleted from the Red Cross manual. Who knows, maybe without my knowledge the same ethical aggregation has quietly re- moved the victims arm from under the head and started teaching the proper technic for resuscitation? If this correction of the Red Cross error has not been made, then what can the doctor mean by "our present method"?

Un-British Agitation

Outbreaks of anti-Semtic violence in Canada are amazing There have been seri- ous riots in Toronto, with crowds of pre- sumably Nordie hoodums beating Jews in public and chasing them to the Jewish quar- ter. There have been many cases of Swas- tkas painted as warnings on the windows of stores operated by Jews. and threatening letters, similarly adorned, sent to Jewish business and professional men. The disease has been breaking out, too, in some of the other Canadian cities
 This kind of mob insanity is peculiarly un-British. Is all the world losing its head and sinking into medieval race-prejudice and intolerance3 The more such madness spreads abroad. the more essential it is for America, at whatever cost to maintain its traditional tolerance and liberality. There must be somewhere stronghold for relgl- ous racial and political freedom. This has been. and should remain. such land.

department in Washington somehow or other got wind of the incident and of the radio messages that eraekled back and forth. Expectations were at a high point. Who knew but what this little adventure might be the start of another world warf How ever, nothing came of it after all. There were no formal messages from the Cuban government and it is believed that the ma rines landed. accomplished their mission. and returned to their ship without so much as being aware of all the excitement they were causing.

The Hog Problem

we never realized there were SO many hogs in the country until the government began to kill them, remarks the Boston Herald. A good many other Americans have believed it could not be possible to raise too many porkers while the country still contained jobless and hungry human beings. Some enlishtening figures on this subject are found in a recent issue of Wal laees Farmer
 ."Federally inspected slaughter of hogs at eight eenters in the four weeks ending August 25," says that publication, was 2 per cent larger than last year. This docs not include sows and pigs purchased by the government On June l. lard stocks were only 63 per cent of the l924- 32 average, but on September l. they were l69 per cent fthat average
 The country used to consume less than 37,000.000 hogs year. In the years l922-25, when most American workers had jobs and were getting good wages, 47.OO0,- 900 hogs were slaughtered under federal inspection. Ten million of them were sold abroad In l933 the total production ap- breaches 4S,000.000. of which no more than 3.000,000 will be sold abroad. It does not require heavy mathematical calculation to discover that we are left with at least S.000000 more hogs than usual for home consumption. This fact may explain why there is surplus problem. why the govern ment is going to distribute hogs as part of it's relief work. and even why some of the governmcnt- purchased pigs are being turned into fertilizer.

This Prize Novel Is Worth Reading

"No Second Spring." by Janet Beith, Is the novel which won the recent $20,00O international prize contest-but don't let that scare you off.
 Somehow, prize novels usually seem to be written by bright young things who have vast talent for leaving the reader with q bad taste in his mouth. This one Is diTer- ent. It Is quiet, compact and charming, and 1t brims over with sincere and valid emotion.
 The scene is the Scotch high lands of a century ago. An arden. devout and somewhat dour young minister comes up from Edinburgh to fill a paotorate in lonely sea- side village. With him he brings his wife--youthful, loyal, innocent and endowed with an unsuspec ted capacity for deep and ferveN hv- ing.
 s,he assumes, as q matter of course, that she loves her husband. He Is good, learned, powerful; be- sides, all wives are supposed to love their husbands, so why shouldn't she? It is not until the town Is visited by a rowing artist. a limping veteran of Waterloo who brings with him a philosophy which is the direct antithesis of the minister's Scotch Presbyteri- anism, that she learns how mis- taken she has been.
 Yes, she and the artist fall in love; but they don't, after the man ner of people in modern novels. conclude that 1t is their sacred duty to run away together in spite of everything. Instead they say soodby to one another and part. And the author presents for you that beautiful, cruel and insolublc mystery--the way life can offer q divineiy ecstatic richness of experl- ence which can only be completely understood by those who see 1t and then lose 1t.
 "No Second Spring" is pub lishcd by Stokes at $2:60.

TREE AND SOIL EROSION
fBridgeport { Telegraml

The state of Iowa is planning to plant ten million trees with the aid of the Civilian Conservation corps, as safeguard against soil erosion. Ten million trees is only a begin ming. The state might plant that many every year for the next ten years. and still have only a good crop of trees.
 However every agricultural state is beginning to realize the enor- nous damage that was done by the pioneers who cut down every tree. It was a verdangerous waste. out annual floods in the Mississippi valley are due in no small part to the fact that the great forests. which once acted as storage basins for the tributaries Of the Missis- sippi, have been destroyed.
 But most baneful of all, the rain now washes away the valuable top. soiL which alone contains Che fers

We hope that Senator Lonergan is right in believing that Connecticut may get fed eral appropriation of $2o.0oo with which to fight forest fires. It is thought now that Uncle Sam may allocate $600,000 to for est services. This would mean the above appropriation for Connecticut. And it is certainly needed. We have had too many disastrous forest fires of recent years. Many of them did more damage than they would have if the state could have employed more men to fight them or had more ire-hghting apparatus. We are doing wonders now with the small amounts the state allots for this work. But considerably more is needed if we're to do good job of it.

London-(UP)-Britain's nav.

LondOn-( (UP)-Brlta1n'S navy may not be as powerful as 1t was but Britain's sailors are increasing in numbers.
 They are not the salt pork and rum sailors of the fighting navy but those peace-loving landlubbers who go all nautical on their annual vacation and spend their leisure on holiday cruise, or an ordinary out-and- -home sea trip. Many thousands of them have had their first experience of life on the ocean wave in the past two years and 1t is conservatively estimated that by the end of the present sea- son they will have over $25,000,000 on this form of holiday.
 Three years ago. when British shipping was in bad way owing to the depression. a number of ship ing to popularize cruising in order owners recognized the idea of try to keep their ships and seamen working.
 Plan Succeeded
 So great was the success of these plans that more and more of the laid-up shipping had to be brought into the holiday cruising business.
 Then in September, 1881. Britain went off the gold standard. This made cruising even more popular, for the ordinary Continental holi- day became more expensive, where as cruising rates remained at the same level. Thus thousands more of Britain's holiday makers literal ly took to the sea.
 During the present season it is estimated that 175,000 Britons have taken sea holidays. They include those who travelled on the few foreign cruising ships calling at British ports and those who made holiday trips on regular lin CTS.
 500 Holiday Trips
 The total number of holiday trips made is estimated at about five hundred. It is calculated tha' holiday-makers have spent $13,' TbO. O.O0O on passage money fol cruises alone, With the addition nj expenditure on shore excursions wine bills, tips. holiday clothes ct cetera, the total expenditure or the sea holiday is calculated to bs we'll over s25.000,0o0.
 Long waiting lists of would -b' passengers have induced the ship ping companies to commission ever more vessels and arrange many mare cruises for next years pro gram. It Is pointed out that m less a passenger Is a very bad sailol he almost Invariably continues ts spend his vacations on the. sei when he once has experiences ths Joys and benefits Of ocean fife.

 Tomb Feels Depression
 Despite Sol Blooms great bi- centennial effort last year, less at- tention -- thanks to the depres- sion is being paid to George Washington.
 Washington's old home and tomb at Mount Vernon from May to Au- gust were visited by only 166,000 persons.
 There were 2sO,oo0 in the same period of 1881 and 239,000 in the bicentennial year of 1882. Russian Story Spiked
 Stories. that Governor Henry Morgenthau, Jr, of the Farm Credit Administration had been desig- mated to carry out trade negotia- tions with the Soviet Union involv- ing $50,000,000 or more were somewhat exaggerated.

One more example of the way in which the democratic senators of Massachusetts are being flouted is seen in the recent hiring of crew of some 40 men to engage in gypsy moth extermination campaign. This work will be directed by the Department of Agriculture. Senator Walsh says not one word was said to him about any of the appointees. Doubtless. the authorities don't figure that in their long list of aequantanees our senator's include bugologists or men qualified to fight the gypsy moth. You'd be surprised, though, the diversity of individ- uals an oficeholder knows.

Although it isn't noised around publicly. still department circles in Washington are buzzing with the story that comes from the American ships now in Cuban water.

Washington - Washington has ! become statisticians' paradise. Both the statistic and it's manager have been given enormously en- hanced dignity and prestige under the New Deal.
 This administration IS concerned vitally with the figures that show progress or lack of progress in its many efforts toward recovery. The old days when the government did tricks with percentages and index figures in attempts to demonstrate improvement are over.
 Many of the country's best stat tisticians have been attracted into government service. Most of them are economists as well and some may be considered members of the Brain Trust"
 Charting the New Deal and measuring its achievements re- auires many new figures never gathered before. NRA economists working on a code, must know ap- | proximately how many persons a given maximum of working hours should re-employ; then they must learn how many have been re-em- ployed with the code in operation. Prices must be measured against | purchasing power and the only way the AAA can tell how its farm program Is going Is by gathering gobs of figures to show the ratio between the farmers income and living costs. And so on.
 Without such statistics, the whole recovery program might go to pot in a fog of ignorance and | confusion. That's why the new Central Statistical Board, which includes the ace statistician- econ. omists of the federal agencies, is one of the most important groups in town.
 Even statisticians can kid them- selves. Some of them match the one about If all the economists were laid end to end they'd never reach a conclusion with the asser-

NO MORE YEAR AND A DAY"
(New York Sun)

(New York Sun)
 A man accused of homicide by the Grand Jury in Nassau county pleaded the old common law rule that he could not be convicted be- cause the victim did not die within a year and a day after the blow was struck. The County Court of Nassau dismissed the indictment but was overruled by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Department. In rein stating the indictment the court said the Legislature had long ago abrogated the common law rule, although in this case for practi- cal purposes it might well have been applied"
 In reviewing changes in penal laws the court called attention to the statute of 17S7 which declared that a willful killing by poisoning should be deemed premeditated murder. In 1873 the law was changed to that poisoning with in- tent to murder was punishable by not more than fourteen years inn prisonment where death did not ensue within a year and a day. Another 17S7 statute sair that a person was guilty of wilful mur- der, although the killing was not done with malice aforethought. If the victim had not struck the first blow or drawn weapon. but this determination did not apply unless the victim dies within six months. Asserting that there Is no common law crime in New York state, the court took note of the fact that In a number of states the year and a day rule still survives. The repeal laws adopted in New York since 1928 clearly indicate an inc tent to abrogate the rule.

tile clements which make good crops possible. By hundreds of mil. lions of tons a year, this good soil Is being carried away by spring freshets, and washed out to sea. So serious Is this problem that the agricultural authorities believe it to be the greatest danger confront ing the future of American agricul- ture.
 Trees prevent soil erosion by holding much of the rainfall in storage and feeding 1t out gently to the little streams and tribu- taries. Tree roots act as anchors and their fallen leaves make q spongy mass on the forest floors, holding vast quantities of water in suspension. Every state which plants trees Is looking after its own future welfare.
