Senator Arthur r. Robinson. Indiana's senior

Whatever Mr. Farley may have TO say about
Senator Robinson probably will not be strong
enough.
What Mr. Farley has to say about Lii
Arthur" everybody in Indiana knows by now
or should know.
But Mr. Farley can clear up one thing while
he IS in indianapolis. \ year ago President
Roosevelt asked the acknowledgement to
draft sweeping civil service law. Mr.. Farley

Of the congress.
What. Mr.. Farley, do you intend to do

country TO the other Tor playing politics"
We realize your problems and We sympathize

Capital Capers
by GEORGE ABEL

THE summer mecca of Washington diplomats
i and residential society used to be the north
shore of Massachusetts, but the tide now is
definitely turned toward Hot Springs and New
port.
The former Brazilian ambassador, Senior de
Lima Silva, who affected sapphire-blue morn
ing coats and glossy hair pomade to match, was
mostly responsible for the north shore craze
He used to go annually to Magnolia stick his
toe in the frozen surf and watch his attractive
wife swim gaily in ffty-siX-degree ocean water
Senior de Lima passed last year to Brussels,
and with his excellency gone, smart young diplo-
mats turned their eyes to the polished Argentine
Ambassador Felipe Espil.
Felipe has just announced that-for him
Hot Springs is the place. Hence lot of other
ENJOYS are following his lead and packing their
golf togs, riding breeches and swim suits.
MIR. cHARALAMBos s1MopoULos. the
1VI Greek minister, once hit a telegraph pole
near New Haven while motoring to Newport.
Some liquor was spilled and handsome Chara-
lambos was bruised. This may account for his
sudden switching this year from Newport to
Hot Springs.
The former undersecretary of state Mr.. Will
liam r. Castle Jr. did not go to visit the pine
apple fields of Hawaii this year, and chose Hot
Springs instead.
Bill Castle, incidentally, has just found a new
diversion for tired WaShingtonians who try the
Virginia resort. He has taught an attendant at
one of the pools how to float mint juleps on a
tray to thirsty bathers The refreshing raft
ripples to the center of the pool and you put out
your hand grasp julep, using the tray as a
table
Jonkheer van Haersma de With, the new
Dutch Minister, spent a week in Newport and
intended spending another, but the sudden death
of Prince Henry of Mecklenburg- Schwerin, con-
sort of her majesty, Queen Wilhelmina, brought
him back to Washington poSt-haste.

BY the ScribbIer.
In reply to the Girl Evangelist
and Frank Cummings:
Religion-the source of SO much
controversy, may be taken in va
rying degrees ranging from ia
naticism through evangelism to
pragmatism with veritable host
of other isms intervening. The
MARKHAM adage of the opium of
the people" is founded upon a fall
lacious analogy and can not be
practically applied either pro
or con.
In this modern world, where
transitions occur so rapidly, re-
ligion must be nodded, forged in
the Smithy Of ones own life. 1t
must be suited to the individual,
applied so as to take into account
the personality, the behaviorism,
in fact, the complete philosoph-
ical outlook of the individual.
IF the shoe fits, wear it" is the
single practical application of re-
ligion in the twentieth century.
If one chooses pragmatism as
the basis of his philosophy, 1 am
sure one will find pure interest
and intellectual entertainment IN
the perusal Of the address by the
late Albert Beveridge, The Bible
as Good Reading" One must
realize that the prophets of the
Old Testament we're not the nee
romancers for which we often mis-
take them. In the truest sense
they were practical, level-headed
citizens who knew that the tiny
kingdom could not exist long in
the mad rush of prosperity which
carried such an anti-social force.
They were not inspired divinely;

reversed once For the first time American
wheat farmers might get some benefit from

Opponents of the New Deal farm program

upon emotions and using scare words like

URGES INDIANA JOBS

BY Down Hearted Citizen.
I read your Message Center every

My plan is this-Why not have all

Hoosiers. I work at the biggest
manufacturing plant in the city and

LAUDS INSTRUCTION
IN SWIMMING

By a Nature Lover.
With characteristic attention to
the needs of the community, The
Times has selected an appropriate
time for opening its annual free
swimming course at the Broad
Ripple pool.
Following Mr.. Stencils articles on
stream pollution in Indiana, it is
encouraging for parents. to realize
that there still is opportunity to
learn to swim and enjoy the bene-
fits of summer bathing in safe
place.
While the delights 3f swimming
in rustic swimming holes can not
be replaced altogether by CONNER
cial pools. the public must realize

they merely heard the rush of the
turbulent waters ahead and
warned against certain destruction
just as did many men prior to our
own collapse after the abnormal
tiles OF the past decade.
The evangelist has reasoned in
correctly when she contends that
abjuration of religion would leave
us torn, starving. bleeding" like
Russia, India, China" The pitt
full case of the latter is in no way
traceable to a lack or renuncia-
ton of religion; for hers is one of
the oldest and most venerable of
all.
The veXationS of China are lack
of arabic soil, immense popula-
ton, the tyranny of the war lords,
raVages of flood and famine, and
the incessant oppression from her
neighborS. Almost the same is
true Of India; no lack of religion
here Hinduism claims more fol-
lowers than Christianity and there
exists nowhere a more deVOut ana
pious fellow than the passive, i'm
mobile Hindu midas problems
resemble China's; moreover she is
bound down by a nation Of shop
keepers" with the vaSteSt domain
in the world.
Lastly, let us consider Russia.
Certainly her progress under the
MARKHAM teachings has excelled
any made in the preceding cen
turtles of czarist absolutism. The
Russia of today stands in firm
position to become the greatest
power in the world; her trade al
ready eXcels that of other nations.
She is not torn, starving or bleed
ing" Without recourse to religion
she has cast off the fetterssof an
almost irremedial politico-sociai
and economic dilemma.

efficiency that is almost uncanny.
He is thoroughly competent to
drive and take care of an automobile
as well as to care for lawns, shrub
berry and gardens, and would serve
some wealthy family exceptionally
well as general al-round house
man.
The writer trusts that among your
readers there may be some one who
has need for just such a young
man whose services can be obtained
at practically the cost of little
kindness and understanding.

RED FLAG TRACED
BACK TO CALVARY
BY Paul WysOng.

BY Paul WysOng.
Relative to Enid Fountains in
quiry concerning the red flag, may
have the space to present this
argument in behalf of my belief in
the matter of its origin and sig
nif1cance?
Time was when the flag that
waves so majeSticaly over an eco
nomcally free and happy Commu
nistic Russia was white in color. 1t
was so when it appeared before
Pontius PLATE, for the defense, in
the case of oppressive fanaticism
against the Nazerene, Jesus Christ.
Immaculate, since the first day it
was raised aloft by the hands of
downtrodden peoples, its mute urge
prompted the judicial observation,
I find no fault with this just man."
Dropping mournfully, it followed
tragedy's march to Golgotha and
there, as a Mortified witness to the
death on Calvary, it first was
splotched with red-the blood of
Him who is the Christ.
Christianized, by its scarlet stain,
it floated down the centuries, Wiping
the bleeding wounds OF white man,
black man, red man, yellow man,
brown man, and always we're its &C
cumulated stains of red. Caught in
the crimson flood of the World war,
it was submerged through drench-
ing years, almost to its utter loss.
Waterloo'S squares long since ere
forgotten. The crumbling grave
stones of Civil war days bear almost
illegible markings. In Flanders
fields the dead are dust and the
tears of bereaved mothers now flow
where once flowed the blood of their
sons.
But the flag is still here. Made
wholly and unalterabIy red by the
blood of various hued and polyglot
peoples, it is sacred in its color and
proud of its significance.
AS we are brothers in blood, so
should we be brothers in spirit;
brothers in deed; brothers in inter
est; brothers in fact. AS there is
brotherhood of man. so is there
brotherhood with Christ Jesus. This
truth is written in the veins and ar
teries of the human race-written in
red.

ing.
I worked at one place eleven
years. 1t is now working six hours
a day and four shifts, but man
does about eighteen hours work.
Why? Because the company has
some efficiency men who are coll
lege figurc-heads. and do not know
how much a man should do. They
can not do a days work themselves;
if they could, it would take six men
to do what they figure one man
can do now in six hours.
The experts want to do all work
with machinery and put men out Of
work and when they do that they
are cutting production, for the
laborer is the man who buys manu-
featured products. When the work
ing man does not work, he can not
buy so why not divide up the time
and put everybody to work? Then
times will get better.
The NRA is trying to help, but
as long as the factories cut hours
and raise wages, but not so a man
can make more, it will not get any
where. The factories are cutting
hours and not taking any more
help as they are supposed to.
This town will not do anything
until the Chamber Of Commerce
looks at the workers side in a diff
ferent manner.

In 1922 Will H. Hays would have

Only one income in the United

A FREE and robust spirit that bodies well
\ for American democracy permeated the
resolutions of the National Education Associa-
tons annual convention in Washington.
The great mass of classroom teachers
dominated the important meeting They
asserted the teachers right to freedom of
speech press and assembly and the right to
support actively organized movements which
they consider to be in their own and the
public interest" They insisted that "the
teachers conduct outside the school should be
subject only to such controls as those to which
other responsible citizens are subjected
They objected to "the sudden singing out
of teachers to take an oath of allegiance" as
a means of intimidation which can be used
to destroy the right of academic freedom"
They asserted their right to organize and hold
their positions through permanent tenure
Their social program was equally forth
right. They urged unemployment insurance
for all workers. including teachers; passage
of the child labor amendment: scientific tax
laws to spread the burden of education costs
more equitably; law prohibiting profits on
the manufacture and sale of munitions.
War is the greatest menace to civilization"
they declared. Children should be taught the
truth about war and its costs in human life
and ideals and in material wealth."
They asked for a direct federal grant of
100000 600 for aid to the public schools, but
insisted this grant shall not entail any fed
eral control of schools" The control and the
organization of education are state functions"
