BETTER PUBLIC SERVICE

DR. LEONARD D. WHITE, new member of
- the United States Civil Service Commits
sion, catalogs in his new book, Government
Career Service" Chicago University Press,
the forces which he thinks are pushing Amer
lea toward better public personnel system
THE key" he says, SIS to be found in the
new range of governmental problems carrying
the state into fields which it has never essayed
before and which . E. require the very highest
type of public servant"
To indicate the difference between demands
of the present and of the past, he quotes an
other writer:
Governments have come to be engaged not
merely in preventing wrong things from being
done, but in bringing it about that right things
shall be done. A negative government only
requires courage and consistency in it's Off
Gals; but a positive government requires a
constant supply of invention and suggestion"
DR.. Whites book is formed from series
of lectures he delivered in February at the
University of Chicago, where he is professor
of public administration.
He outlines a career service for American
government employees, using the best ideas
from the British, German and other systems:
1t would include all in Federal service except
the Presidents immediate aids such as Cab
met officers and their closest assistants. The
humblest messenger boy would find the door
open to the top if he had the driving power
and the right goods to offer.
THE more intimately one knows individual
civil servants, the greater the respect for their
devotion, their ability, and their loyalty TO the
task" he says. "By and large, it is the system
which is at fault, and the system which must
be improved"

pose of shooting the little drafted

business psychology with business
numb with fear?"
There can be but one answer to
that. The financial desperadoes
must have just arrived at the last
stage Of desperation. The President
is going ahead with his reforms.
More roads to quick and easy wealth
are going to be blocked.
On Thursday, a new gold brick
was laid upon the Presidents desk.
1t was triple-plated by the deSper-
ADDS confidence men, whose spe-
cialty is confidence, more confidence
and still more confidence for bust

with hopes for the Presidents re-
election if he would only quit re-
pairing the roof while it's raining.
1t glowed in anticipation of the SUM-
shine coming, when the roof
wouldn't need repair.
But the gold brick glittered with
false hope-the hope that there1l be
no third ticket in the f1eld-the hope
that a sell-out to the old deal
would not start an avalanche to
the left-and the hope that Repub-
hcans would knife their ticket in
exchange for two years of mark
ing time. 1t held out the hope of

COMMENTS ON VAIL
OF REGULAR SOLDIER
V H. E. Thixfon.


1t seems to me that there we're
quite a few regulars stranded in the
states and just crazy to get across.
Where was this illustrious regular
when the Ninth and Twenty-third
Infantry modified in Syracuse,
N. Y? They sailed at only about so
per cent war strength.
Read my service record and weep.
I served only % months and was
across in time to follow the rolling
barrage at Chateau-T hierry, Sois-
sons, St. Mihiel, Champagne and
twice in the Argonne forest and
service also on three defensive sec
tors and in the occupation of the
Rhine Strange isn't it, that was
service in the Twenty-third Infantry
and wasn't so. crazy about it either
1 have a rs per cent disability and
receive no government pension.
This regular would like to have had
that service record, but thought it
too tough to earn it.
If those red-blooded regulars
wanted to fight, why didn't they
join the infantry or in the case of
this particular truck driver, did he
think that he could park his truck
and go over the top? Surely he
would know that the truck drivers
were not combatants. There were
no three million regulars who never
got across, because there were not
that many enlisted. There is very
close comparison between the

GOLD BRICKS AND
BUSINESS FEARS
n G-gH rIs--
BY George Gould Hine.

On Tuesday, Indianapolis business
men complained Of feeling consid-
erably better. The daily bulletin
on their mental condition, Business
on nervous edge" hadn't been
changed for so long that they were
able to look at it with some COM
placency. They sat up little, took
some nourishment and almost
smiled at their nurses.
But on Wednesday morning they
had a relapse. The old bulletin had
been taken down and new one in
box car headlines had taken its
place. 1t said, Business numb with
fear" No sooner had their eyes
fallen upon it than they curled up
and stiffened, stiffening while they
curled, as their nurses sprang upon
them with hot water bottles and oil.
Now what was the matter with
the old bulletin? 1t permitted oc-
casional spasmodic movement. 1t
was at least .humanes Why ossify,
petrify and fossilize the delicate

These LaaUS-Ob, N.Y.!

Now it is we'll known that the
policy game, operated almost eX-
clusively among the city's Negro
population, runs without interior
ence, and it is furthermore known
to those who know that the policy
game as operated here is unpun-
ished grand larceny.
I believe The indianapolis
Times called the shot of the policy
game for Mike MOrrissey, just in
case he hadn't known it all along,
and told him to the street, block,
and type Of business house where
the drawings are made night and
morning, daily.
Mr.. MorriSsey, mildly mad on
the subject of horse race betting,
did not answer. Yet, the Negro
population, largely on relief, is
daily swindled of its stray nickels
and dimes-brazenly swindled, if
you please.
1t is unthinkable, of course,
that the presence in the back
ground of the policy racket Of
Negro politicians who can deliver
votes has anything at all to do
with the charmed life the racket
leads-especially since the Negro
vote in this city is bloc to be
reckoned with.
Maybe the gambling laws don't
make SenSe-I don't suppose they
do. 1 suppose that there should
be nonpolitical gambling places
licensed and operated according to
law. That would be good way
out.
But until that happens, any
continued raids by police on gam
bling places they have known all
along we're running, can be sup
posed by thinking noncombatants
to be caused by only one circum-
stance-and you don't need three
gueSses to get the right answer.

BY J. L.
Lots of times, laws don't make
sense. Take, for instance, the
happening of last week in two
cases of criminal assault convic-
tons in Marion County. Three
men, all married, received sus-
pended sentences and fines in
Juvenile Court on conviction of
having had criminal relations
with 15-year-old girl. They had
been charged with contributing to
her delinquency.
A day later, a youth charged
with statutory rape was sentenced
to one to 10 years on the Indiana
State Farm for having had crimi-
nal relations with young woman
who was in court when her lover
was sentenced. In spite of the
fact that she is pregnant, and in
spite Of the fact that they want
ed to get married, the law took
its course, and the boy went to
prison.
Two crimes of the same nature
the first particularly offensive
and yet vast difference between
the punishments! That doesn't
make sense, no matter how long
the law is read, how letter per-
feet the judges are in their duty
and ATTITUDES.
Neither, in a lesser way, does it
make sense for policemen to be
running around enforcing, with
unusual vigor, certain violations
of the gambling laws, and leaving
other open violations to their
openness.
I refer, of course, to the mild
hysteria the police have recently
enjoyed when they so much as
thought of some one placing bet
on race horse, and I refer also to
the complete Indifference they
have shown to the operation Of
the policy game in indianapolis.

Canadian Physician Stresses
Diet Of ExbeCtant Mother

cially eXpectant mothers, are not
eating the right things in the right
quantities.
1t is not enough to tell the expect
ant mother TO be careful of her
diet Dr., Conn declared. She must
be told explicitly what to eat, with
due regard for individual idiosyn-
crasieS.
AS basic framework on which
TO build such a diet. DR.. Conn sug-
geSted a daily allowance Of one
quart of milk supplemented twice
a week by cheese; two cups of vege-
tables. one fresh when possible, one
cup of fruit, including citrus fruits
or canned tomatoes three days Of
the week; one cup of whole cooked
cereal supplemented two or three
days a month by knocked grain
germ, and one medium sized
serving of meat, fish, fowl or eggs,
with the addition Of liver once each
week.
After allowing for any food sem
sitivitles of the individual, the re-
mainder Of the diet should be made
up of bread, potatoes. macaroni
crackers. rice, cakes, sugar jelly.
Jam, syrup, cream, butter and salad
oils as dictated by the appetite and
