Here's to Mr.. FOT

BY An Old Fox.
In the last few weeks I have
read a lot of twaddle in your
paper, Of which I am a subscriber,
about the so-called fox hunts.
When we take into consideration
how little the average person
knows about the habits of the red
fox, these letters really are anus
ing. If they had followed the
hounds as long as I have-for
more than forty years-in the
chase of the red fox they not
only would know that he is
the most beautiful of our four
footed, fur bearing animals and
that he is the deadly enemy Of
the snake, the weasel, the rat, the
beetle and the chinch bug. The
agricultural department at Wash
ington says the red fox is worth
at least $50 year to the farmer
on whose farm he lives.
will vouch the information
that there have been more
chickens killed in Indiana or
elsewhere by hogs, weasel, opos-
sum, and especially by cats than
has been put at the door of the
red fox and I say to you that
the roaming cat-generally termed
as the woods cat" is the worst
varmint We have in this state.
People Of superstition carry cats
along the road and dump them
out and they become a death
dealing varmint to chicken roostS,
young animals and all kinds of
birds. They live in the ground
and hunt only at night. Many a
night when coon hunting our dogs
have freed a cat and dog, or most
Of the night dogs, would rather
run an old cat than anything
else. always shot every one we
freed. They are a menace to
young animals ana DlrQ Ike.
There are two kind of foxes
in Indiana-the red and the gray.
The gray fox is skulker-a
mischief maker "a loafer "a
thief. The red fox is a different
type of animal and the most
valuable fur-bearing animal we
have. AS soon as you scare a
gray fox he goes into his den, but
a red fox will stay on top of the
ground until every bit of his
vitality is gone. AS we say, a
real red fox won't hole"
There is a difference between a
fox hunter and fox chaser. The
fox chasers run a red fox for the

THE MONETARY BARRAGE

THAT salty old British sage. Frances Ba-
- con, suggested that there are some four
idols which very powerfully obstruct the
clarity of human thought. One of them he
describes as 'the idol of the theater,' or the
tendency to ride hobbies or follow single
track plans of reform Often, these hobbies
embody great deal of truth. but those who
give sole devotion to them find it difficult to
maintain the proper perspective or to give
adequate attention to other considerations.
1t is. perhaps, not entirely unfair to regard
some of our current monetary enthusiasts as
victims of this idol of the theater" Monetary
standards and relationships can not be safely
ignored. They are an integral part of our
complex economic order. But it is a danger
Gus error to exaggerate them out of all rela-
tionship to reality.
Monetary issues are at best Of secondary
significance under capitalism. They should
not be represented as Of the first rank Of i'm
portance To do so misleads and misinforms
the public and diverts indispensable attention
from really vital considerations
Ordinary monetary defects or maladjust-
ments in the American economy were not of
primary significance in getting us into the
depression, not will even the sanest. superficial
monetary reforms play a dominant role in
leading us out of the wilderness and back into
prosperity.
Such monetary matters as enter deeply
into the cause Of the depression are of
very broad and fundamental type They are
not at all OF the sort which We ordinarily
think of in discussing standards of value and
price levels.
These deep seated monetary considerations
we're two in number: Cd Not enough money

PURER FOODS AND DRUGS

THERE appears to be no major disagree
4 ment on the proposition that the Pure
Foods and Drugs act should be strengthened
for more adequate consumer protection. The
only question is how drastically the present
law should be changed.
The administration proposed a complete
revision of the law last spring. Immediately
protests arose, not alone from manufacturers
Of foods and drugs, but also from sales and
advertising agencies.
The drug trade proposed its substitute for
the Tugwen bill after heated hearings. And
then Senator Copeland himself doctor drew
a compromise bill which, he says, retains all
the. consumer protection sought in the original
bill, but abandons the more drastic features
Of that measure.
We believe that this is the time to
strengthen the pure food and drugs law
We likewise believe that the Tugweu bill con-
tanned several doubtful provisions The OBJ
jectives Of that bill-to assure that consumers
will get foods and drugs honestly manufac-
tured honestly labeled and honestly presented
for sale-can be attained by less drastic
means.
All legislation is matter of compromise;
and revision of the pure food and drugs
law is liable to be the result of agreement be-
tween vigorously contending forces.
The honest and intelligent majority of
manufacturers Of foods medicines and cos
metics should realize that revision of the law
to provide adequate protection of consumers
is as important to them as any one else. The
dishonest manufacturer and advertiser, unless
curbed, will ruin the reputation of the in
ouStry as whole and destroy the market of
the honest majority

same purpose that a jockey rides
or drives his fine horse. 1t is the
cleaneSt sport on earth because
no one can buy off red fox to
throw the race or bribe an old
hound to play crooked. If some
Of these wiseacres who know so
little about the livelihood of
red fox would encourage their
boys to go out in the woods with
an old hound in quest of an "old
red fox" it is my opinion those
boys would be better off than
loaf1ng around some gambling den
or other places frequented by
young people. I know I rather
would have my sons and my
daughters in company with an
old lop-eared hound than some of
the folks they keep company
with.
Now, Mr.. Fox Driver, when you
get out with the killing instinct
in your heart, I want to tell you
that you never get the thief fox
the gray fox, because as soon as
you start your racket, Mr.. Gray
Fox goes into his hole and there
he stays. The red fox stays on
top and if you have fox in the
ring it is ten to one it is a red.
The fox chasers, of course, object
to killing a red fox because that
kills their sport, especially if a
good running fox is killed, so Mr..
Fox Driver, I am going to put you
on to something. There are
$4,000 fox chasers in Indiana
and whenever they hear of one
of these fox drives they attend
and always form one side Of the
line and when the roundup is
made if there is fine red fox in
the circle these fox chasers open
their side of the line and the re-
suit is that the fox gets away.

She asked no more of life than a
few hours Of peace,
Peace TO find herself and search

And with one careless gesture re-

I live outside the city and re-

me to give up my present residence
and move to the city, as suggested
by the Taxpayer, really am suf-

going to do my best to get affairs
in trim for a move. I'm sure if I
can do it others can and will.

SUGGESTS MASS GREETINGS
TO PRESIDENT JAN. 30

By J. W. Pierce.
May I suggest a mass birthday
testimonial from the American peo-
pie to President Franklin D. Roose-
welt? On Jan. 80 he will be So.
He has fired the hearts of his
countTymen with his own uncon-
querable spirit. 1t is altogether
fitting that something of that in
Spiration be passed back to him.
From the great ones of earth he
will receive the conventional greet
ings accorded to rulers on their
birthdays. Why should the great
masses be silent? Their appraisal
of his faith and courage is we'll
nigh unanimous. Should not the
President have impressive token of
it on his natal day? He is a man,
not a demigod, and as such he prizes
the esteem of his kind.
The means Of conveying a mass
birthday greeting to the President
are available to every one. The l.
cent postcard on sale everywhere
not only is sufficient but appropri-
ate to the purpose. What if he can
read but an inf1nitesimal fraction
OF the cards that would be sent him
if the people should write to him
en- maSse? The value Of the token
would not be impaired in the Slight
est.
Let all good Americans write
their thanks and good wishes to
their valiant chief on his birthday.

PEGLER COMES IN
FOR A RAP

BY r. z. B.
Thanks to the editor Of The
Times for finally placing the Broun
column in definite location. 1t
is very propitious that it should be
opposite the Pegler column.
Pegler, who was ballyhooed as a
great colun1ist, and worthy of
Ring Lardner's mantle when COM
pared with Broun, thus far has
proved to be flat and insipid. He
still appears to be laboring under
the impression that he is getting
his pay envelope from the Chicago
Daily Tribune, and must make his
column accoFd with Tribune edito-
rial sentiment. A truly great writer
never could have stayed with the
Chicago Tribune for as long a Pc
riod as did Pegler.
We Chicagoans who have found
The indianapolis Times far superior
to any Chicago paper in the morn
ing or evening field doubt that Peg
ler'S column offers any added value
to liberal newspaper.

SOUNDS BATTLE CRY
FOR BUTLER STUDENT
By Franklin King.

BY Franklin King.
Do the courts Of Indianapolis de-
liver justice? There is considerable
doubt in the minds Of several hun
dred people in this city as to the de-
cision given by Judge William H.
Shaeffer against Butler university
student Thursday.
This youth was driving north on
Meridian street, and was stopped by
motorcycle policeman who, Incl
dentally, called the lad prevarica-
tor.
The fact that the officer did not
give the youth a sticker indicates
the doubt as to whether he really
was speeding. Libel deleted)
There apparently was no official
record made of the arrest, but the
student, respecting law and order
and believing justice would be given,
went to the police station. This,
alone, indicates the. sincerity and
the high character of the young
man.
The student was informed he was
to have the honor, the privilege and
pleasure of spending the night with
seasoned criminals and all that goes
with night in Jail. There is no
doubt but what this atmosphere is
degrading, to say the least. To add
insult to injury, the lad now was
accused of having been drunk. This
is undeniably false accusation and
regardless of who is responsible,
some one should make public
apology. Is this the treatment usu-
ally accorded to one who never has
been arrested before?
This student is Of high moral char
acter, emblematic of the American
college student Of high ideals and
ambitions. He is working his way
through college.
Do instances such as this raise the
respect Of the younger generation
for law and order? 1t even ques-
tons the ACCESSIBILITY of attempting
to do right.
What can Judge Shaeffer and his
associates expect of the leaders of
the future if they are given this
type Of assistance? There are too
many politicians and not enough
statesmen today.

STRESS ECONOMY
 | IN USING GOODS
Hi gh h Quality Materials Last Longer, Mininliz-
 ing Cost

The necessity of the use of quail ity materials in the better housing program of the federal housing ad- ministration' is stressed by William w. woodbridge, manager of the red cedar shingle industry.
 3 Outwearing other materials, those of indisputable quality are always more economical in the end, according to MT Woodbridge. Once applied, good materials often remain in excellent condition for decades. On the other hand re- pairs and replacements of poor materials are often necessary with in few years.
 Especially are high-grade mate- rials needed in those sections Of the country where intense weather con- ditions exist, whether in the form of high winds, extreme heat or cold, or disastrous hail or sand storms. Against such menaces, the pitting of poor materials is folly, MT Woodbridge indicated.
 In commenting the work of the Federal housing administration MT Woodbridge anticipated a re- newed volume of business for the shingle industry and greater pros- perity for the nation as a whole.
 "The thousands of. men engaged in the manufacture of shingles in the two farthermost states of the Union, Washington and Oregon ' he said, Hook forward with re- newed hope to the demand fol their products that must of nec- essity be created by the new na- tional housing act, and eagerly await the flow of orders that must result as soon as this new activi- ty of the government commences to show results" t'

 Body of Captain Seen
 Asbury Park, N. J., Sept H. (UP)-Salvage workers planned a liner Morro Castle today for the missing list from one of the great est maritime disasters of modern times.
 The hulk of the $5,0O0, 900 luxury liner, filled with tons of water pumped in by fire tugs, was be- lieved sufficiently cooled to permit searchers to penetrate her interior. They expected to find few of the many persons believed to have per ished in their staterooms when the ship caught fire and burned Satur- day. Most were cremated, it was believed.
 Ward Line officials. complying the most thorough of the list of the dead, missing, and rescued, an- nounced 66 were known dead, in- cluding Captain Robert Willmott, who died before the fire broke out, and p are missing.
 The body of Captain Willmott, laid out in his cabin after he died Friday night of heart attack, was believed intact. Fire Chief William F. Taggart said he looked through the porthole and saw the body on the. floor. It was badly burned and the heat hadsbeen so intense the legs of the masters metal bed had been melted. The heat was too in- tense to allow for it's removal last night.
 The fate of the big ship was in doubt beyond the certainty that she never again would travel the seas. Salvage experts were agreed it would be impossible to pull her off the sandy beach upon which she was blown by a gale Saturday night. She already has settled into 15 feet of sand.
 The derelict has attracted so many visitors to this resort that the city council empowered its at torney to find out if the town couldn't claim ownership on a basis of Riparian rights. That fail ing, the town may make the Ward line an offer. Otherwise, the ship will have to be cut to pieces where shc stands and removed piecemeal.
 Of 87 bodies recovered, only five now remain unidentified.

 Cries of Scab Heard
 Tickets gathered on the street opposite the entrance to the mill and berated workers who entered the plant. There were cries of "sca bs' as the operatives were es- corted into the curtain factory, but no move was made to inter- fere.
 The rioting broke out as the mill closed yesterday afternoon for the night. A stone was thrown at the car of James Powdrell. factory of- ficial. A general fight resulted. Three State troopers were beaten and one girl picket threw her arms around troopers neck and started to choke him.

 Fortunes Wiped Out
 The big business men began to realize that it was no longer an ad- vantage to gain enormous incomes, because the state income tax took so large share of them, and when the owner died the state took so much of the balance. Land specu1 lators found that the graduated tax on idle real estate spelled ruin; they gave up their holdings, and the sctate took them over, and the colony laborers moved in and built new homes and social buildings, and the land colonists plowed and planted the soil. By the same method vacant lots in the cities were utilized for gardens under the supervision of the ever-vigilant CAL.
 By midsummer, when the new crops began to come in, the system was flourishing. There was food for everybody, and word spread that California was paradise, and all over the United States caravans of automobiles were heading for

tional Guardsmen, with fixed bay- onets, patrolled the grounds of the Powdrell and Alexander mills to- day after curbing a demonstration in which 15 persons were injured and four pickets arrested.
 Tear gas bombs and riot guns were brought into play when dis order broke out as workmen were leaving one of the company's six
 mills late yesterday. The situation got out of hand of state and local authorities and Lieutenant Gov ernor Roy c. Wilcox in the ab- sence of Governor Cross, ordered mobilization of troops. Many strikers, who were members of the National Guard, answered the mo-
 bilization call and took their stand against fellow-strikers.
 It was the first open defiance of the law and order ruling of union organizers since the beginning or
 the walkout a week ago Tuesday. Two additional companies were
 being held in readiness at Hartford should further trouble occur when the day force reports to-day. Only 75 are employed at the mill where rioting broke out. The remaining Hive mills, employing about 400, are closed.
 Fists and stones flew freely be- fore arrivel of troops. Three state troopers were assaulted and one of the men arrested, Walter Lis,
 was severely hurt about the head. Lis, George and Napoleon DeFor- est and Wilfred Lapard, were held
 at state police barracks for court arraignment.
 Lieut. Ross Urquhart, in charge of the Danielson barracks, said
 the trouble started when a stone
 was hurled at a workers automo-
 bile. He said he was mobbed when he went into crowd of pick cts to arrest the stone thrower. Troopers George Cody and John
 Ehlart ran to his assistance and were clubbed and beaten. Cody, carrying tear gas bomb, released it. The crowd scattered
 but continued to defy the troopers at distance.
