THE AIRSHIP PERSISTS

It is interesting to notice that while
many Americans have taken it for grant
ed that the large dirigible will never have
any practical use, the Germans are going
calmly ahead with plans to put these big
ships to work.
Next March the Zeppelin workers at
Friedrichshafen will complete a new
dirigible even larger than the u. s. navy's
Macon-a giant that will contain 25 state
rooms for passengers, and elaborate equip
ment to insure e~veryone's comfort.
The Germans have by no means given
up their confidence in the dirigible. On
the contrary, they are planning for a day
when airship lines will be as common as
airplane lines are today.
Is there not, perhaps, in that fact, an in
dication that we are a trifle hasty in as
Stunning that the dirigible is and always
must be impractical?

THIS MAY HALT ABUSE

One of the best suggestions as to ways
of stopping the abuse of pardons and pa
roles seems to have been the one proffered
recently by Attorney General Homer Cum
mings-that the names of all politicians
who ask clemency or lenient treatment for
criminals be made public.
It is very hard to think of any good rea-
son why this policy should not be adopted
why, as a matter of fact. it should not
be written into state and federal laws.
A mar who asks a parole or a pardon
for a criminal ought to be perfectly will
ing to have the fact published, if he has
anything resembling a legitimate reason
for making the request.
If he hasn't, of course, he will shy away
from the publicity; and that might well
result in a vast shrinkage in the number
of criminals improperly released from
prison.

Auto Accidents Show
More Broken Noses
BY DIR. MORIdS FISHBEIN
Editor. Journal Of the American Medical Association,
and Of Hygeia. the Health Magazine

Doctors everywhere are discovering that more
noses are being broken in connection with the in
crease Of motor accidents. Cars are now built for
high speed and roads are adapted to the speed OF
the cars.
Because Of the very nature OF the human anatomy
and Of the manner IN which one sits in a motor car,
the nose is probably more frequently injured in such
accidents than any other part Of the body.
People in the front seat are thrown through the
windshield when the speed OF the car Is suddenly
stopped. They may get anything from a slight
bruise on the nose to having it cut off completely.
Those in the back seat sometimes smash the nose
against the back Of the front seat.
There Is the case Of a girl, eight years old, who had
her nose shaved off almost on a level with her face
when the car in which she was riding hit a truck.
Nobody thought Of the nose while riding to the hos
pital. However, as soon as the surgeon saw the
child he sent a messenger posthsste to the scene Of
the accident for the nose.
The surgeon tried to graft the nose back on, but
too much time was lost and the operation was not
a success. 1t is possible. however. If attempts are
made Immediately to restore a nose to the spot from
which 1t is cut, to save the appearance Of the organ
in many instances.
Another case Is described in which two women
we're driving in a small car on a country road when
they met another car coming in the opposite direc-
ton. Their car was forced from the road and 1t
turned over.
A piece Of glass from the windshield cut the drivers
nose off completely at a point just below the ends Of
the nasal bones. The part cut away remained at
tached to the upper lip by two narrow strips Of skin.
BY rare presence of mind on the part Of the other
woman. the nose was put back in place and held up
by a piece Of bandage until the patient was seen by
a surgeon an hour later. HI sewed the tissues to-
gether again and got a fair-looking appearance, but
unfortunately the tissues under the surface curled up
50 that breathing was stopped.
The two main things to keep in mind when such
accidents occur are first Of all the maintenance Of
absolute cleanliness. and second, the obtaining Of
surgical attention at the earliest possible moment.
Usually it is well to inject persons, who have been
badly injured in motor car accidents, with a small
dose Of tetanus a~ntitoxin in order to prevent lock-
jaw.

FOR BETTER LEGISLATION

Senator George w. Norris has been
fighting for a new governmental system
in Nebraska, under which the traditional
two-chamber legislature would be re-
placed by a single law-making body. The
American Legislators Association recently
conducted an interesting little poll on the
subject.
The association found that members of
state legislatures-who would stand to
lose their jos if such a scheme were
adopted-were against it by approximate
ly three to one On the other hand, pro-
fessors of political science-who have no
conceivable AK to grind, either way-fav-
ored it by a majority Of about six to one.
The result of the poll leaves one with
the feeling that the proposition might well
be worth consideration by other states.

about fair treatment OF the public
by those utilities which remain un-
der private operation. The New
Deal recognizes the right OF labor
to decent living wages and as a long
step in that direction has inserted
minimum wage provisions In the
codes Of fair competition set UP un-
der the National Recovery admins
stration.
Labor unions have obtained N
dedegree Of recognition in the Re
covery legislation which they have
never been able to obtain before.
More than a year ago President
Roosevelt urged the owners and
managers OF industry TO be content

CAUSE OF SEA DISASTER

An excellent follow-up on such sea
disasters as the burning of the MORO
Castle is to be found in a survey made re-
Gently by government marine experts and
submitted to the National Labor Relations
Board.
The agents who made this survey find
that American steamship lines are con-
sistently u~nderpaying and overworking
their crews. The 'turn-around' is so
short that the men get very little time in
port.
In many cases ever the food-for years

the big talking-point of the American
merchant marine-is below standard.
Such things can have a direct come
ton with tragedies at sea. They make it
hard for a ship to keep a seasoned crew.
They keep a crews efficiency below par.
Result-when trouble comes, the ships
company does not function as skillfully.
promptly, and obediently as it should.
Any program to make sea travel safer
must include some consideration of the
sailors working conditions.

profits and to supply a fair share Of
goods to the working man. DR.. Ryan
said. who explained:
If IN a community 1t was shown
that over the wealth needed TO pay
off the debts and take care Of the
comforts Of every one in the COM
munity only 2 per cent would be
left. that is the share TO which the
wealthy are entitled. OF course, 1
am not saying that II Is true, but
that Is the test. One of the worst
illusions 10 overcome In industrial
society is that Of the traditional
right Of 6 per cent interest year in
and year out. That's impossible In
business with very few exceptions.
The New Deal would extend the
regulative functions Of the state
over industry for the sake OF the
weaker classes . and for the bene-
fit Of society as a whole. 1t would
set up a sufficient measure to state
ownership Of public utilities to bring

At Glance
By LESLIE EICHEL
Central Press Staff Writer

NEW YORK, NOV. 13.-Now that
the election has passed. men are be-
ginning TO sense that II has settled
no issue.
An endorsement OF the New Deal
was observation-disclosures there was
no other affirmative program Of
fered and because people believe
that President Roosevelt ought to be
given an opportunity TO 60 through
with whatever additional plans he
has in mind.
But has the administration any
plan other than 10 ride the evolu-
tionary movement as best 1t can.
Where Next?
The defeat OF a Sinclair with an
EPIC platform in California does
not end evolutionary movements.
In fact. those movements may be
accentuated b. the defeat Of Sin
clair. Other persons, more subtle
and Shrewder or more tactful may,
in some obscure spot, take e an
unavoidable EPIC program and make
out OF II a workable affair for ma
tional propagation.
IL Is a mistake. however. TO as
sumo that either men OF programs
have much TO do with the economic
movements OF the present day-ex-
cept TO befuddle them still more.
Those movements are deeply
grounded and political fights seem
only sham battles in comparison TO
the real raging with increasing in
tensity on a widening front.
The real question-the question
above all others-is this: How can
the mass OF people earn a living?
, 1934-11-13
Care In Financing

The government hereafter will
have TO BE- careful IN creating new
debt, otherwise both governmental
and private credit will be endan-
gered. Undoubtedly there will have
TO be a test in each new step under
taken as TO whether II will create
wealth for the whole people.
The case Is best stated by Nor
man Thomas. head of the Socialist
party who, always knowing he can
not be elected. gets down TO facts:
The president has played around
primarily with the idea Of making
Uncle Sam the underwater for loans
to be advanced by private banks for
the renovation and building Of
homes for people who can afford TO
build homes for themselves A prac-
tical program Of housing involves an
immense expenditure Of money.
sWill the administration insist
that the only way TO get the money
Is to sell interest bearing bonds to
banks and so add 70 our back
breaking load Of debts? Or will IL
consent TO try to finance this pro-
ject by the extension Of credit or
treasury notes secured against the
value OF the new work and the new
wealth created?"
New Deal Described
The Roosevelt administration has
found the most compact description
OF the New Deal in the words OF the
Right Rev. John A Ryan. professor
OF moral theology at the Catholic
University Of America, one Of the
most noted economists in America.
DR.. Ryan links the New Deal with
the stand Of Popes Leo XIII and
Plus XI on labor and distribution OF
wealth.
Pope Plus denounced the inequita-
bic distribution OF the fruits of pro-
duction among men and declared
that efforts should be made 10 limit
