He Makes the MOHey

NEVERTHELESS the agent not prejudiced

Your correspondent mentioned young newspaper

The agent is the lucky one. Given stable OF ten

earnings he enjoys the economic safety and the i'm

The UnknOlrHS Drop In

THE buyer corresponds. IN sort Of way to the
matchmaker of the prizefIght club He will pay
more TO a writer with reputation or notOriety
than TO an unknown aSplrant. Quite often story

which the buyer bought the same day from the WELL

Nevertheless in such case, the unknown person IS

Dempsey and Georges Carpenter that afternoon in

Political appeasement, it is
urged, is essential before such
problems as naval limitation, dis
armament, international arms
control and the present race for
bigger and better armies, navies
and air forces can be solved.
This movement. now well under
way, is headed by the League Of
Nations Association. Chambers OF
commerce, patriotic organizations,
churches, clubs, societies and inf1u-
entail leaders throughout the
country are participating or are
being invited to participate.
CHORTLY after congress con-
- venes in January, the senate
will be asked to state the terms
upon which the United States
would be willing to associate itself
with the league, and to suggest to
the President that he make known
such terms to Geneva.
Great Britain and some other
leading members are known to be
dissatisfied with the way the
league functions in matters per-
tanning to international peace.
They are ready to support changes
in the covenant.
Chiefly they cite Articles X, XVI
and XVII. These have to do with
3 mutual guarantees Of the terri
torial status quo of members, and
the use of force to prevent or stop
aggression. In practice these have
broken down completely. Why,
then, it is asked, retain them in
the covenant unaltered?
1t was a dispute over this issue
especially that raised by Article
X-that kept the United States
out Of the league at the beginning.

BARRIERS FAVOR

Charging that some indianapolis

$3.50 week and some indianapolis
BARRIERS as little as 81, Local 242 Of
the Journeymen BARRIERS Interna-
tiOnal Union Of America has called
meeting of all barber and beauty
shop employees and owners for $3.50
Monday night in Tomlinson hall.
The meeting will consider a code
of ethical practice, state and city
legislation looking toward regula-
ton of the trades and the licensing
of beauty shops, as barber shops
now are licensed, and cooperation
for all in the trades.
Three presidents Of the in
ternational organization have sig
nified their intention Of attending
the meeting. They are John Lloyd,
Norfolk, Va; George McKenna,
Springfield, O., and P. H. Regain,
Rochester, N. Y. Mr. McKenna is
credited by national officials of the
union with the recent adoption of
a BARRIERS and beauticians code I'M
der the Ohio recovery act.
The startling charges as to the
wages received by some workers in
the two trades here we're made by
Ray Higdon, secretary treasurer Of
Local 242 and the man responsible
for the calling Of Monday nights
meeting.
Mr.. Higdon and others prom
inent in the barber and beauty
trades here, both as workers and as
operators, also will address the
meeting.
According to Mr.. Higdon, shop
owners, discussing the present COM
petition in their business, have said
that some of the practices are so
disastrous as to make shop opera
ton improbable while, at the same
time, it leads to deplorably low
wages.

Your Health
BY DR.. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

D1sCUssIONs published relative to gradual in
- crease IN number Of mental detectives need not
alarm US too greatly.
In fact two investigators in Great Britain have
carefully considered the possibility actually OF IN
creasing the number Of detectives.
Difficulty of evauating the figures is great, be-
cause present estimates Of what constitutes mental
deficiency differ from those Of even twenty years
The great majority Of cases that are now called
feebe-minded would not have been called feeble
minded in 1900.
Some authorities point out that the reason there
are more detectives than there used to be is the
fact that we are now saving the lives Of many more
infants than used to be saved, and that the lives of
persons in general are being prolonged far beyond
what used to be possible.
There is no evidence to indicate that the mentally
defective have proportonately more children than
do normal people
NOU should realize that our definition Of mental
L effectiveness is not really a definition Of men,
tally, but Of the social capacity OF the person
concerned. We judge the effectiveness OF the If
dividual by his ability to get along with other per
sons
It is now generally known that many persons are
much more intelligent than others Intelligence be-
low the average IS therefore, ike stature below the
average It compicares the life Of the individual,
but may not necessarily be a sign Of disease.
Fortunately the world has jobs for persons OF all
rates Of intelligence It IS Just as sad 70 see man
Of great intelligence in a job which could be done
by person below the average as 1t IS to see per-
son with less than average intelligence trying to fill
a place for which he IS not fitted
IT has been well established that persons VINO are
i dull and Of low intelligence are likely to have
children Of low intelligence. Roughly IS per cent
OF persons with lessened intelligence come from
stocks which exhibit distinct mental abnormalites.
On the other hand. there are occasional cases
even Of idiOcy in families IN which the parents and
grandparents are found 70 be Of high order OF in
telligence This means that the normal can carry
even over several generations, a certain amount OF
defective stock.
OF course the surroundings in which person is
reared and all the factors associated with the general
environment are important in determining the ex-
tent to which defective intelligence viii develop
Given stock which IS dull or defective, and an
environment which precludes 1t from education ana
development the result is quite certain TO be very
low order OF mental capacity.

gage interest and prinCipaD to the
government.
And when the HOLC stops loan
ing, there is further help for mort
gagged homes in the Mutual Mort
gage Insurance Fund. Under the
housing act, this federal fund is
to insure and guarantee home
mortgages up to 80 per cent Of a
valuation based on 1926 value OF
the property.
THIS should tend to relieve the
i s21 ,OOOOOO,OOO of existing
home mortgage debt, and thus
draw still further private funds
into home construction.
AS most HOLC mortgages run
fifteen years, we can be sure that
for the next fifteen years the gov
eminent is going to have a hand
in a gigantic real estate business,
collecting interest and principal,
seeing that insurance is paid and
repairs kept up, on something like
a million homes.
About one of every seven mort
gagged homes will be dealing with
this gigantic government corpora
ton as mortgagor. And right now
the government is the biggest
owner of real estate in the whole
country, with some five million
dollars worth.
Here again, the government
faces the possibility (some say the

He had a balance of $4,000 due
