If mayonnaise curdles in the
making, add a few drops of cold
water to the curdled mixture.
Patches such as are used on
automobile inner tubes will mend

Rub the outside Of your gas

NEW DEAL COSTS

IT is only natural that right now, almost
midway through the New Deal, the people
Of the United States should be taking a
thoughtful backward glance to see how much
the surprising new things they have been do
ing are going to cost them.
The two-year budget for the first half of
the Roosevelt administration runs to a total
Of approximately $4,000, OOO,OOO of which a
little more than half has gone or is going for
recovery agencies.
1t is a sum to stagger the Imagination, no
matter how used you are to big figures No
wonder people are beginning to ASK rs it
worth it?"
There are two ways of approaching the
answer. One is to see just what we are get
ting for our money; the other is to compare
this expenditure with other extraordinary ex-
penditures in the past.
Right at this moment, the second way is
quite Illuminating.
Seventeen years ago this spring. the
United States got into the World war. That
little venture cost us s23, 400, 100000. In addi-
ton. We loaned to various European nations
$4,000, 900 900 more-most of which we will
never see again.
1t is possible, then, to make an instructive
little comparison.
For a war out of which we stood to gain
nothing, and did gain nothing, we sent some
thing like thirty-fve billions down the chute
There is no way of jutting monetary value
on the sorrow and suffering that went along
with this money, but they are desolating even
to think about.
For a struggle to break loose from de-
preston which has wrecked homes, taken
lives, destroyed hope, and caused hunger dis
illusionment, and great despair, we have COM
mitted ourselves so far to spend sixteen bill
lions-a little less than half of what we put
into the war.
Thirty-fve billions for destruction-de-
struction of mems bodies and of property;
half of that for construction.
Is this second sum out Of line?
All of this, to be sure, does not prove that
we are getting the best possible results for
our money or that these reconstruction funds
are being spent in the wisest possible manner.
That is a question which should and will be
aired thoroughly in the congressional cam
paign.
But it does show that the mere fact that
we are spending $4,000, 100000 to get out of
the depression is not, in itself, anything to
frighten us. We spent twice that much on
war that almost wrecked the world

BOOTLEGGING STILL LIVES

A DISPATCH from Philadelphia reveals
n that federal officials there have detected
a change in the bootleggers' methods of OPP
Grafton. The elaborate distilling plants
characteristic of prohibition days have van
ished in their places is a series OF smaller
stills, scattered over wide areas and infinitely
harder for law enforcement agencies to find
and put out of business.
This, naturally, makes the enforcement job
tougher: and it is rather dismaying bit OF
testimony to the hardness and tenacity Of
this illegal plant. bootlegging, which got
nurtured on our soil during the last fifteen
years.
1t is becoming more and more apparent
that simply repeating the prohibition law
wasn't enough to put the bootlegger out OF
business. He likes his racket and he means
to stay in it. repeal may have made things
little harder for him, but it has by no means
given him his death blow.
A lot of skillful and energetic enforcement
work still is needed.

BRANDS RELIEF WORK

BY H. A. W.
AS a member of the FERA, I
would like to explain and suggest
a few things.
Heads of several families who had
depended on the various town
ship trustees for food have been
temporarily employed on FERA
projects. However, we are told that
we are not employed, but are mere
ly getting dole from the govern
ment. I am here to tell you, dole
or no dole, it is the hardest earned
money man can get.
On the flood control project at
West Tenth street and White
river, a man earns his little SO
cents an hour, and anybody who
thinks he doesn't should come out
and push one of our free wheeling
wheelbarrows for twelve or fifteen
miles a day.
These barrows might as well have
no stand on them, for the men
never set them down. They are
pushed along line Of men with
long handled shovels and each OF
them throw a shovel full of dirt I'M
til the barrows are loaded, then they
are pushed up a steep grade and
dumped.
The dust is terrible. There is not
one square foot of shade on the
whole project and God knows the
sun is hot. On a hot day, it is not
unusual for ten or fifteen men to
pass out from the heat. These oc-

TIME TO ARBITRATE

THE issue in the Pacific coast strike is arbi-
tration. The tragedy of the last few days
is that side issues and smoke screens have
obscured the main issue. Today there is hope
precisely because the Roosevelt board, by its
vigorous statement, has focused public atten-
ton again on the important point.
Labor has been inept. BY resorting to a
general strike it broke contracts, drove local
government forces to the side of the en-
ployers. opened the way for hoodlumism and
red herrings and gave employers a chance to
patrioteer against alleged revolution.
But whatever may be the revolutionary i'm
plications of a general strike in theory, or in
the actual plans of few radical leaders, it is
sufficiently clear that the majority of coast
strikers-officers and men-have no such
political objective.
The basis of this strike Is not essentially
different from that of other American labor
disputes And. as experience has shown in
similar disputes, it can be settled effectively
only BY collective bargaining or by outside
arbitration.
It can not be settled by the martial law
method which the Governor Of California
seems so anxious to use. A settlement imposed
by troops would multiply the unrest of labor
and the arrogance Of anti-labor employers,
and lead eventually to worse strikes.
Fortunately, the federal government is more
realistic. President Roosevelt in his message
from shipboard relies on a settlement by
peaceful means. The Roosevelt board calls for
arbitration. And General johnson and SEN
ator Wagner. chief negotiators for the govern
ment, apparently are concentrating on that
method.
If the federal government continues to in
sist on arbitration We believe it should and

ERASE POLLUTION

BUSINESS leaders and members Of the san

program TO obtain sufficient funds to remedy
the horrible condition which exists at the In
diaDapols sewage disposal plant
This condition. always getting worse. has
existed 50 long that today Indianapolis is one
Of the worst examples in stream polluted In
diana.
An actual emergency exists in Indianapolis.
The condition has reached the stage where it
is threatening life and property and no greater
reason for action can be cited.
The present disposal plant was designed in
1920. Then it was supposed to be Of sufficient
capacity to handle the sewage situation in In
dianapols until 1880. Figures on the plants
operation, however. probably would reveal that
1t has been inadequate for a number Of years
and not since 1890
Indianapolis men who have pledged their
support 10 obtain government funds for the
project believe now that success is near.
It Will be well if these men maintain that
attitude and see that the worthiness of the
project is not allowed to simmer, and. per-
haps. finally die out in Washington.
Every person in Indianapolis should be
willing TO cooperate in the move. The condi-
ton eventually viii affect each one Of US as it
becomes worse. To believe that the situation
is concentrated in an area below the disposal
plant and affects only persons in that vicinity,
Is a grave error.
Public health IS as important to the man
living in the mile square as it is to the farmer
the suburban resident or to any of the other
thousands of Indianapolis persons.
The indianapolis Times several days ago
urged immediate action on the Indianapolis
situation. 1t is gratifying to see that business
men and the city recognize the evil.
Today The Times prints the story of Indi-
annapolis pollution of waters. The story is not
pleasant. but it carries warning that must
be Needed.
Indianapolis should not find itself in the
same spot which Hartford City faces today
Because of failure of officials to act the gov

quests for funds to solve its sewage disposal

CHURCH NEUTRALITY IN
INDUSTRIAL STRIFE
By L. c. NJ.

By L. C. NJ.
In San Francisco ministers prayed
for industrial peace. Apparently,
the various pastors did not choose
sides, which amounts to the same
thing as witnessing a heavyweight
title event and hoping to see it end
in a draw. I do not believe there
ever was an absolutely dyed-in-the-
wool neutral.
There is hardly doubt that
among the worshippers in the va
rious churches, strikers and their
previous employers prayed for peace
aloud with the inward fervent hope
that each would emerge victorious.
I don't suppose there was single
man of the cloth who presented
both sides of the argument and then
advised which side to pray for, with
out which the whole procedure
seems a useless gesture.
To my knowledge, only one cleric
in America has ever raised his voice
in defense Of the workers. There
can be no doubt as to which side
the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin would
defend.
All of which makes one wonder
how much longer the clergy hopes
to maintain this neutral position.

can not be had without liberal government
aid.
But under our present, wasteful indirect
subsidies. too many Of the taxpayers millions
have gone into the pockets Of promoters, and
too few into the improvement Of shipping. 1t
would be far better to return to the system Of
paying for the mails on the economical pound
age basis, and grant openly whatever subsidies
are necessary to maintain efficiency.
