White Clothes Cooler

In bright sunshine white clothes are
cooler than dark ones of the same ma
terial, because of the greater refiec-
ton of light by the white material. In
tropical countries garments of closely
woven white fabric are worn to pro-
tect the body from the hot sun; they
have high rejecting powers and pre-
vent the transmission of ultraviolet
rays to the skin.

ASKS WHY POLLUTION OF

Why is it, despite Indiana's new
anti-pollution law, that whoever is
responsible for the pollution of
Eagle Greek is permitted to con-
tinue this Wanton destruction? Two
times that 1 know about The Indi-
annapolis Times has started TO trace
down the perpetrators of this crime.
Two times The investigation has
faded into the background and still
the pollution goes on. Why?
I'll tell you why. Because big
business is able to lay it's Shiny
hands on any law that we have
and bend it to its will. I say it is
high time that we put a stop to it.
Business should be made to conform
to our laws right down to the letter,
and if these accidents, as they are
apt to be called, occur those reSpon-
sible should be made to pay for
the restocking of the streams they
have SO guilelessly poisoned.
1t would be SO easy in this beau
tiful country of ours to have fresh,
understanding streams and plenty
of game if every one would only
try. But no, just like half grown
irresponsible boys, many have to be
driven. I'm one who says start
driving them right here and now.

LOBBYISTS COME HIGH

DOUBTLESS the good people of Nebraska let out
~ gasp when their former attorney general,
Arthur F. Mullen sent them $175,0J0 bill for
ices rendered in handling two PWA Water-poWer
projects worth S184OOOOO in grants and loans. They
should know, however, that their Mr. Mullen is no
ordinary lawyer and that lobbyists come high.
This former Democratic politician gets about
considerably, both in his own Cornhusker state and
in the by-Ways of Washington. He helped beat
child labor ratification in the Nebraska Legislature
And so valuable did the power utilities find him on
Capitol Hill that according to Senate Lobby Com
mittee records they paid him S25000 for his services
But even this super-lobbyist seems to have aimed
a bit beyond the prevailing wage for his craft. IT,
under Mr.. Mullen's rate scheduled fee of about
nine-tenths of per cent-the taxpayers Of every
state had to shell out commissions for all Federal

about S65,7OO OOo-a lawyers tax on the taxpayers
for spending their own money.

LAWYER VS.. PRESIDENT

MIR. E. F. REED, Weirton Steel Co. lawyer was
4VL chided in these columns recently for asserting
that when lawyer tells client that law is un-
constitutional it is then nullity and he need not
obey the law
What is the difference in effect, a reader asks
between this advice by Mr. Reed and President
Roosevelts advice to his eutenantS in Congress last
August to set aside their doubts about the validity
of the Guffey-Snyder coal measure and pass it any
way? Didn't both practically tell the Supreme Court
to go to?
We fail to see the parallel.
In the first instance, lawyer assumes the func-
tons of the courts and breaches dangerous and
highly anti-social doctrine Under our system of
government, any legislative measure enacted by a
duly constituted authority is the law of the land
until repealed, nullfed by the courts Preaching
the right of individual Interpretation" of the law
is preaching judicial anarchy.
In the other instance, the President was en-
gagged in his constitutional duty of recommending
to Congress the passing Of such measures as he
shall judge necessary and expedient' The Presi-
dents task is to propose legislation; the Judgment
thereupon is solely the function of the Supreme
Court.
The President obviously would be Sinking his
duty if he permitted fears of possible adverse de-
csion to interfere with his sponsorship of legisa-
ton which he considered vital to the public welfare
The law-making arm of the government would fail
utterly If mere speculation on what court might
do we're considered the decisive factor in legislation
1t is true that in the business of law-makng we
move much by the trial-and-error method The
boundaries Of constitutional;ty are, in the last
analysis, discovered by experiment only. These ex-
periments are the essence of he adjustment of the
government to the popular will

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
By Mrs. Walter Ferguson

"CHALL fathers be abolished?" asks MAGAZINE
~ writer, who proceeds to prove thew have beo,,
II we define the word father as meaning something
more IMAM Just "a male parent" believe we can all
agree that the American father is obsolete
mat Is to say, he does practically nothing about
training his children. Of course, it's not his FAINT
poor thing. He is the victim of the foolish muddled
business system he has worked so hard to perfect
and which now threatens to swallow him whole In
many localities, simply getting to and from his oh
takes more time than grandpa used in farming his
100 acres
Little children in big cities hardly know their
fathers any more, and so far as his influence on
discipline and rearing goes. the man of the house
doesn't function these days
1t may sound like heresy coming from, this
quarter, but it seems to me that men are better
fitted by nature for bringing UP children than
women are. A mans mind generally ignores trivial
details, going straight to the point at issue Men
never nag. When they speak it is usually with
decision and force, and more thar ALL they under
stand the problems which will confront the child
when he has to make his own way in the world.
Fathers are not soft as mothers although thev
are often much more sentimental. Knowing from
experience that life is series of struggles they
realize that only the strong can endure.
was reminded OF this net long ago when I
heard 17-year-old girl say, ooh, can always get
around Mother some way; she's always lecturing
u.s. But you can bet jump when Dad gives an
order"
There you have the whole thing in a nutshell,
and it seems very good argument for the male
parent to function as a father-o once again.

Points With PRIDE to Verdict

ding it makes clear his guilty
connection with the enterprise"
Secondly, it was proved to the
hilt that the ransom notes were
all written by Hauptmann. They
we're in his handwriting and they
used peculiarities of spelling and
language which he habitually
used
1t is an unacceptable inference,
says the court, that the man who
wrote these notes entered the
Lindbergh nursery and took the
child.
Lastly, there is the fact that
some of the wood used to make
the ladder by which the kidnap-
per entered the house was traced
to Hauptmann's own home, and
that on a board in his home there
was written, by his hand, DR..
Condon's telephone number.
Adding these facts together, the
court concludes that this was a
circumstantial case with the evil
dence pointing to guilt from so
many directions as to leave no
room for a reasonable doubt"
All this is worth keeping in
mind. No criminal trial in our
generation has held American at
tention as did Hauptmann's.
Those who have the notion that
Hauptmann, after all, might have
been guilty of monstrous mis-
carriage of justice should reflect
on the points raised by the appel
late court.
These points ought to satisfy
them that there are few cases in
which a prisoners guilt is so
firmly established as in the case
Of Bruno Hauptmann.

MOVES FOR PEACE
BY a Patriot

BY Patriot
If any Of your readers have mo-
mentS of doubt that this country
sincerely wants to stay out of war,
you might call to their attention
that recent moves for peace have
included the discarding of one of
Americas most ancient and strongly
held principles of foreign policy
the demand for freedom of the seas.
Ever since this nation was in
sWaddling clothes this has been one
of its most dearly cherished ideas.
The notion that the seas were an
international highway that could
not be closed, and that an American
ship-oWner could take a cargo any
where on the globe that he could
find d buyer for it, shaped our
policy for much more than a cen
fury and helped to get us into two
wars.
In 1912 we rushed unprepared
into fight with the British over
this principle.
To be sure, we came near to get
ting the stuff1ng kicked out of us,
and the treaty of peace did not
mention the issues which had

By a Lawyer
The decision handed down by
the New Jersey court of errors
and appeals in the case Of Bruno
Hauptmann is worth a little
study.
Hauptmann was convicted of a
murder which was probably the
most shocking ever committed m
America. His trial was inevitably
the center of nation wide interest.
The verdict was received with
nationwide satisfaction.
But because the conviction was
based entirely on circumstantial
eVidence-Which a popular mis-
understanding somehow con-
ceives to be of less value than
direct evidence-and because he
has had vocal defenders who have
insisted that he was a victim of
prejudice, there has grown up
here and there feeling that the
cumbersome processes of the. law
managed to lay hold of the wrong
man.
Any one who has such a feeling
should glance briefly at the ap-
pellate courts findings.
Our conclusion" said the court,
SIS that the verdict is not only
not contrary to the weight of the
evidence, but one to which the
evidence inescapably led"
Why? Because, first and fore
most, Hauptmann was caught
with the goods. He had the ran
som money in his possession; and
the court points out that Haupt-
MAINS own story of how he got
the cash is simply unbelievable,

| English owed us money, and in the
! end we fought the Germans, and
the freedom of the seas was one Of
our chief reasons.
Since the war we have spent
great sums on our navy, and most
of us have supposed that this was
to enable us to enforce our concept
of a free sea on any nation that
tried to fout it.
Now, however, we have turned in
the opposite direction. President
RCosevelt's neutrality proclamation
warning all citizens that they ship
goods or buy passage into a war
zone at their own risk is a direct
reversal of the traditional American
doctrine.
Heretofore we have argued that
an American could use the sea lanes
anywhere on earth save where an
actual, effective blockade existed
and that our Warships would be
ready to make that right good. Now
we are singing an entirely different
tune.
No more striking testimonial to
the growth of the peace sentiment
in American could have been de-
vised. This country is no longer
ready to use the navy to protect
American lives and property any,
where and any time. 1t prefers, IN
stead, to let American lives and
property look out for themselves if
they do not choose to stay at home.
This may make the old-fashioned
patrioteer howl with chagrin; but
to me it looks like common sense.
1t is hard to avoid war when you
persist in clinging to a policy which,
in a pinch you must fight to up
| hold.
