IT'S UP TO THE LEAGUE

Drought on the threatened typhoon today has faded
almost to the vanishing point
The committee Of five named to seek a solution of
the crisis has abandoned its task as hopeless. Bento
MusSolini's bold offer over the weekend does not
appear even to have been considered.
That is a grave decision. If the committee reports
to the League that it is futile further to seek COM
promise. the next word may come from the mouths
of cannon.
If the League has nothing further to offer-and
it is difficult to what it could offer without max

have only to wait for the patter of tropical rain to

the new Caesar at Rome, will have to make the mo-
mentous decision of what to do after the Italians be-
gin their invasion of Ethiopia.

THAT RAINY DAY

II N1ERGENCY relief authorities in New jersey ser
L out a short time ago to learn Just exactly what
the average family on the relief rolls IS Ike
To do this they made an extensive survey OF
10 600 Of the 10000 families that were on relief
last winter Their findings follow:
The average family on relief has native white
narents two children less than Is years Old and
a record Of from two to three years of continuous
unemployment The father is between 80 and so
and has had between five and eight years OF
schooling.
Before the depression. he was an unskilled
1sborer. regularly employed. making an annual wage
OF from $1,000 to $1,000. He is the only member OF
the family capable of taking job
The picture that this SURVEY presents Is worth
keeping in mind in any discussion OF the depres-
sion
It shows clearly enough that the average
depression-wrecked home was one III which there
simply was no human possibility OF making adequate
preparation for a long spell Of Unemployment
workman who has never been beyond the
eighth grade in school, who is strictly an unskilled
laborer and who has to support three other people
besides himself on an income that never rises above
500 month can not. with the best viii IN the
world prepare himself to resist a depression.
The thing simply is not possible. He is at the
mercy Of the trade cycle as completely as camper
on the Florida keys is at the mercy OF the hurr-
cane.
Such men are small minority Of our total
population. But they the great majority OF the
population on relief. this survey shows And as
long as they exist in such defenseleSS state. any
dip in the trade cycle will put the burden OF their
support on the shoulders Of the public
It is for this class that such features OF the social
security program as unemployment and od-age
insurance are most vitality needed We car talk
our heads of about individual initiative American
habits Of sef-rehance and but it is perfectly
obvious that man in that group can't have more
than a trace of initiative and self-reliance
He stand his own feet as long as his
job lasts but not much longer.
The skilled worker the wEite-collar man. the
small business man-their situation IS different
They can lay aside something for the rainy day.
When trouble comes they can be expected to carry
themselves for time And. according to this survey
they have done so.
1t is the fellow at the bottom Of the heap who
Is the depressions first and last victim He is the
one who makes a broad permanent social security
program vital necessity.

music has universal appeal and
art appreciation is not confined
to any sect.
Don't be disappointed if we fail
to give complete and immediate
support, for progress must neces-
Sarily be slow at first, due to our
unfamiliarity and past aloofneSS
to opera. We have had the idea
that opera was only for the for
eign-born, or for the asinine
wealth displays of the rich, and
we. are somewhat tardy in realiz-
ing our error.
We have a newspaper in Indi-
annapolis supporting our cause.
There is a pan by which a gov
eminent appropriation will help
build a municipal theater in Hol-
liday Park, comparatively mex
penSive outdoor ampitheater for
the presentation of opera. We are
music-starved, weary of travelling
100 to 200 miles to hear opera,
and the blatant saXophones, ban
jos and guitars in our hotels, the
aterS ana "tavernS' are becoming
increasingly offensive to all of us.
We desire the growth Of our
city in art, traditions, and ideals.
We who know music want the
outdoor theater and are willing
to clamor long for this realization
of our ends And we unfortunates
who don't yet thrill to great mu-
sic will live TO be grateful to those
sponsoring the municipal theater
project.

drive a car myself and try to OBJ
serve all traffic rules.
Now is it right that our Indian
apoliS police have the right to drive
through d safety zone where there
are guards and a red light and an
arrow pointing right? At 4:30 Sun
day afternoon the driver Of police
car No. 2218 drove through. l tried
to tell him about it before knowing
who he was, and he got very smart.
AS I drove past the station the sec
ond time he made a very smart re-
mark: Why don't you go inside
and report me?"
Now is that safety? If we are
going to have a safe town, we must
have our police department set the
pace as well. If a few more drivers
would brace up and help, instead of
falling on the idea that the cars
marked I. P. D. are exempt. Let's
have safety.

A city grows not alone by in
creased population. Traditions
and ideals are even more i'm
portant than well-payed streets,
new stores, building large schools,
Don Juan police, or a winning
baseball team. The availability
of good music is one of the very
real standards by which cities
should be judged Other arts,
painting, sculpture. literature,
dancing. drama are hardly less
necessary to good community life.
Opera is the fusion of three
great arts, music, drama, and the
ballet, and many lesser ones in
Guiding poetry, color costuming
and pantomime. Opera is the
most beautiful, most artistically
balanced. most elevated of all
human expressions.
For these reasons opera is above
most of us; but the fact that we
don't yet fully appreciate it has
nothing to do with our natural
God-given rights to it!
We need the beauty and in
spiration of great music in our
lives, we of the factories, store,
schools. the home, the professions,
the unemployed, and every one
of us who considers himself a nor
NAL human being of characteristic
weaknesses but instinctively beau
ty-loving.

color, religion or politics, for

Indiana machines cut in front of us
when the procession turned west on

three cars were ordered to the side

We wish to thank Mr.. Pearce and

were stationed at that point, for
showing respect to their duty. We
also want to express our thanks to
the three policemen stationed at the

give them a glad hand instead of a

Money
BY JOSEPHINE DUKE MOTLEY

BY JOSEPHINE DUKE MOTLEY
There's a whole lot in having
Just money;
It's like drinking wild
Juniper honey.
1t is sweet; yet it's tart,
Undeniably smart.
It shoots arrows both dangerous
And funny.
Its elusivness drives you
To tears.
You can work for it all down
The years.
You may win it at last,
But will shrink back aghast,
For you'll find that with money
Come fears.
You grow wary Of pleasures
OF old.
You take stock in all rumors
You're told.
You think Satan's on earth
After just what you're worth;
30 you careIuIIy noard up
Your gold.
1t seems years since you've smiled a
Real smile.
You've been so busy hustling
The while
You feel weak in the head.
And you wish you were dead;
Yet you will not relinquish
Your pile.
1t haunts you from morning
Till night
You will not let it out OF
Your sight.
You ooze modification
At your wife'S poor relation,
Yet you silently envy
Their plight.

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

IT IS interesting to watch the slow swing back to
rectitude. Even novels are going little conven-
tional, and What relief that isl
We are fed up with literature which lauds the
lewd, and tired of heroes who dinner jacketed
cads. and of the heroine with harridan's manners
and the morals OF harlot.
If, during the last year you have looked into even
a small part of the fiction which supplies the wants
of the not too intellectual reader you must have
noticed the change.
Old-fashioned marriage, the kind that sticks, is
beginning to be pointed out again as desirable
feminine objective. For example, in the last volume
by Edith NJ Stern, Escape From Youth" which is
typical the story is told of three girls who repudiated
and then once more embraced the Victorian con-
cept OF matrimony.
1t seems to me the author has everything down
pat when she says, What the modern girl really
wants is not freedom but husband and children"
This is nothing but concise statement of fact. Be-
cause when women began their fight for economic
moral and spiritual freedom it did not mean they
wished to give up those vital rights which had al
ways been theirs-the rights Of wifehood and moth
erhood.
There are certain fundamental qualities of Our
natures which do not change. Desire for perma-
nent place-of house and OF hearts one of them.
In spite Of all the talk which goes on this is unde-
nable. We may believe want something very diff
ferent-eXcitement travel. lovers-and in our quest
Tor them We may even lose the ability to anayze or
understand our real wants but We will never be
happy with only those superficial possessions
What does being mans equal actually mean?
Nothing. except cooperation of the sexes for the
good of both Certainly, DR.. Olga Knopf has said
The art of being woman can never consist in be-
ing a bad imitation of a man."

PEAS TOO HARD, so
PRISON DINERS ROAR
Warden Tastes Soup, Then Orders
Other Food for Inmates.

By United Press
JACKSON, Mich, Dec. 2o.-Up
and down the Sng, gray-clad line
of convict diners at jackson Prison
yesterday murmurs of protest turned
into a roar when the 800 inmates
found peas in the soup were as hard
as bullets.
The men shouted and pounded
on the table. A riot call sent state
police, city police, firemen, sheriffs
aud two ambulances to the scene.
After a half hour, the prisoners
were back in the cell block, and an
other shift of prisoners took up the
shouting.
Warden Charles Shean pro-
nounced the soup inedible and the
inmates we're given a second meal
of wieners and eggs.
