Still Another Plan to
Put an End to Poverty
To the Editor of The Star:

10 the EQltor OF Inc star.
While popular favor still gives a slight
margin to the Christmas savings plan
as opposed to the Townsend plan, I should
like to propose a plan which has, be-
lieve, enough political dynamite to blow
all existing plans onto the top shelves
of the Archives.
Ny plan is this: The Government gives
5000 a month to every individual, young
or old, and $50 to the family cat. Even
old Rover gets $50, provided he quits
chasing the cat up trees. With my plan,
nobody has to work (for this money!.
The Government tax rate is the same
as the money disbursed, but the money
is returned as soon as collected. Hence,
everybody will have money and match
ing dollars for fun will be the national
pastime; matching will by law be de-
clared an ungainful occupation. All
other occupations will be declared gainful
and illegal. Even the Bureau of Engrav-
ing will cease to be engaged in gainful
employment because the money for my
plan will be made of indestructible
impervium.
But, in all seriousness, should the
Townsend plan continue toward success
on the basis that 5000 month shall be
the sole heritage of an otherwise thrifty
and productive people, may I propose
that the Government distribute pSyco-
pathic clinics throughout the land in
proportion to the Townsend enrolment.

Christmas the Keynote
OF Universal Thought

To the Editor of The Star:
There are many things which we have
become accustomed to in the pattern of
life, the value being understood only
when we contemplate what would be lost
if such an experience were not so at all.
Our appraisal of each years events, is,
of course. relative. Some features could
go and others would take their place.
What substitution could be made for
Christmas and all that the occasion
stands for. A bit of reflection and COM
pariSon will vividly convey this thought.
There are national holidays in each
country as in ours, commemorating
achievements through force: such as our
Fourth Of July, or the International
Armistice day. Other days mark tribute
to the dead, as Memorial day, and SO we
could recite the reason for each occasion,
all of them earthly inspired and chiefly
nationalistic.
But our Christmas day is heaven sent,
marks no conquest, no commemoration
for the dead who suffered, knows no race
or cline, and throughout the world is
celebrated as the happiest day of all the
year What loss to mankind were we
without this day.
Happiness is uppermost. Consideration,
kindliness, helpfulness, all come out of
the message from the skies, Good will
to men,"
May the spirit of the day be with us.
guiding our purposes throughout the year
in our dealings with OUR brother and
sister dwellers upon the earth. Peace on
earth" would surely come did we always

and secure and to prevent breaks. The
materials used In the manufacture OF
these toys are not always Of the best
character. Breaks may occur without
immediate detection. Wherever an elec-
trio conductor is attached the union must
be substantial and complete, else short
circuit results and If infiammable mate
rial is close at hand ignition occurs and
fire develops.
The only safe way to use electricity in
connection with Christmas decorations
or toys is to make every connection per-
fectly tight, with no loose f1laments of
wire and with no inflammable material
within range Of possible spark. The
toy railroad, with its numerous joints and
connections, should never be set up in
the neighborhood of tree or draperies
and especially aloof from any decorative
material of an inflammable character.
If proper precautions are taken, with
skillful handling of materials, these me-
chanical playthings are safe, but only
then.

The Age of the Pamphlet.

When thousands of years hence his
torians appraise the age which began
with the invention of printing and which
includes the present period of social
experimentation they may apply to the
era name which will have special ref
erence to the influence of the pamphlet.
Little books, it would seem, have a
tremendous effect upon busy and over
burdened men. They are cheap to manu-
facture, convenient to distribute and
quickly read. For all of these reasons,
then, they enjoy wide circulation and re-
ceive prompt recognition. Rousseau, for
example, made Of his Social Contract"
a lever to overturn the ancient regime,
the monarchy of France and all its af-
f1liated institutions. But, even more i'm
portant, he created pattern of mind
which still-in the United States under
the New Deal, If not elsewhere-is oper-
ative. He taught millions to believe that
"the origin of all governments is to be
found in the people themselves" and
the doctrine has survived both the oc-
casion and the logic which brought it
forth.
But meanwhile credit for the organi-
zation of public opinion for the American
Revolution is granted to Thomas Paine's
pamphlet, Common Sense: and Henry

Christmas Dangers.

Every year the Christmas season is
marked by numerous fires in dwellings
caused by the ignition of decorations and
trees. Sometimes these fires result in
tragedies. Owing to- the state of the
weather, they always cause serious suf-
fering. They are distinctly "avoidable"
In that they are due to careleSsneSs in
the handling of highly inflammable ma
terial. While the development of elec-
tricity as an Illuminating agent in re-
placement of candles on trees has les
sened the danger in great degree, it may
become factor of menace through lack
Of technical knowledge as to the proper
manner of installation. Yesterday in
this city fire was started in dwelling
by a short circuit in the electric con-
nections of toy railroad which had
been set up around the Christmas tree,
spreading to two other houses before ex-
tinguishment. A spark from this broken
connection ignited some cotton which
had been strewn about to represent snow,
and from this blaze the fire ran to the
draperies of the room and in few sec
onds the place was in flames. Happily, no
lives were lost, though painful injuries
were inflicted.
The greatest care is necessary in the
setting up q electric devices in the
home, especially those that operate toy
mechanisms. Yet skilled mechanics are
rarely employed for that purpose. Home
talent is relied upon, whereas in any con-
trivance involving the use of the electric
current the most scrupulous care should
be taken to make every connection tight

Bascule Bridges Should
Replace Old Swivel Spans

To the Editor Of The Star:
Your editorial entitled Thirteen Dead
discusses the tragedy at Hopewell, Va,
where a passenger bus plunged into the
river and where the bridge normally ex-
tends across the river, but was then
turned, on its middle pivot support, into
position in the middle line of the river,
that position leaving the roadway end
ing at each side of the river and open for
the plunging Of highway vehicles into the
river-excepting that in this case there
was a guard rail croSSwiSe Of the road,
serving merely for caution and not sufi-
cient to hold an approaching road vehicle.
This is being written to direct attention
to the fact that bridges supported for
turning horizontally on a pivotal sup
port in the middle of the river are no
longer in favor and are being substituted
with bridges which open to form barriers
adapted to hold approaching road ve-
hicles when the bridge has been posi-
toned for passing boats or ships in the
river. This refers to "jackknife" or "bas-
cule" bridges. Those bridges are COM
posed of two sections, each hinged at and
parallel to one of the river banks and
meeting, when closed, at the channel of
the river. When boat Is to pass, each
section is turned on its horizontal hinge
to bring the section toward or into the
upright position. Thus there is room for
the passing of boats and at the same time
each bridge section forms a wide and
strong barrier for stopping approaching
road vehicles.
If such bridge had been at Hopewell.
the passenger bus would have been stop
ped, regardless of whether the driver was
asleep or dead, or the bus had defective
brakes. Formerly Chicago and other cities
had the swivel bridges supported at the
middle of the river. In many places the
baScule bridges, forming barriers, when
open for the passing of boats, have been
substituted. The loss in the disaster at
Hopewell outweighs what would have
been the expense Of such substitution.
In addition to road vehicle tragedies
at such bridges, sometimes people near
the brink fall into the river and are
drowned. There is real danger at busy
streets where large numbers Of people
crowd together waiting for the bridge to
turn into closed position.
There are a number Of such swivel
bridges at or in the region of Washington.

Public Aid and
Public Payments
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Once in a blue moon some desperate
public official makes the incontestable
statement, 'If the public demands serv-
ices, that same public must expect to pay
for such services" And there the matter
drops.
In the knowledge of this writer, never
has any important public official or prom
inent business man pointed out that
there is in current use no prOper account
ing system for public expense. Public
money is expended, somebody gets the
benefit and somebody pays the bill, OUT
nobody knows with any accuracy VINO
pays for what.
New Dealers, Liberty Leaguers, ana
even some resurrected trust busters.
would be more convincing if they could
prove from public accounts which indl-
vidual taxpayer gets his moneys worth
and which does not.
Further, if each supplicant for public
aid, including real estate spectators,
knew he would pay for such aid, and for
no more, then would the pattern OF pub
lie demands be radically changed.

David Thoreau Is acknowledged to have
had much to do with the development
of the psychology which produced the
war between North and South and the
abolition of slavery through his booklet,
1.-THE Duty of Civil Disobedience." Yet
those are but obvious citations. Literally
hundreds Of additional titles might be
mentioned. Benjamin Franklin's Poor
Richards Almanac" for two centuries
was the schoolbook of a Nation. Karl
Marx and otier radicals prepared for
bolshevism in Russia and fascism in
Italy and Germany, while British re-
formers, beginning with Leigh Hunt and
Richard Golden, were perfecting the con-
stitutionalism which now keeps England
stable in world of trouble. All of these
agitators were pamphleteers and gloried
in the fact. They held their more sub
stantial works in disregard by COM
parison.
And just at present the booklet fashion
is prospering again. The revival testifies
to the vitality which humanity still
possesses despite its sufferings. Even the
ubiquitous radio, penetrating every home,
falls back on the printed booklet.
Numerous programs terminate with an
appeal to "send for literature" And it
may be presumed that listeners respond
as directed. They have the pamphlet
habit. 1t is one of the routines of their
existence.

normal-hySteroid-t very type that,
with the normal component taken out,
is most apt to turn to criminality for
its own advantage.
The value of seven common foods in
the prevention of pellagra-the diet de-
ficiency disease which still is one of the
greatest scourges of the Southern hill
country-haS been determined at the
Public Health Service laboratories here
Rabbit meat, lean pork shoulder and
canned chicken it was found, are fairly
effective. Evaporated peaches is a fair
source of the pellagra- representative vita
min and cottonseed meal is relatively
poor source. PruneS and canned beetS,
it was found, contain little or none of the
vitamin.
The relative values of various food
stuffs in the unknown substance which
protects the human system from the
disease are determined by their efficacy
in preventing in dogs a malady known
as black tongue" Although its effects
are quite different, this disease is be-
lieved to be identical with, or closely
related to, the human disease and it
responds to the same treatment.
The object of the Public Health Service
is to provide practical diet for families
in the pellagra sections of the country.
Many food substances containing the
protective vitamin are known, but some
Of them. although common dietary
articles elsewhere, are hard to obtain in
the sections where they are most needed.
BY the extension of the pellagra-pre-
ventative list the ravages of this disease
have been reduced greatly in recent years.
Its greatest inroads were in the noun
tain sections where the Winter diet was
restricted largely to salt pork and corn
bread-neither of which contain the
vitamin.
