FRANK SIMONDS

T~HIS country has produced few journalists of the
Il caliber of Frank Herbert Simonds who died in
the national capital.
In his own field-international politics-he had no
superior He knew history. He knew peoples of the
world their leaders, their national aspirations, their
virtues and their foibles. Putting these raw ma
terals into the crucbe Of his mind, and bringing to
bear his power of analysis, he could and did, time
and again. tell what was bound to happen under a
given set of circumstances.
Clearer than most statesmen whose job it was to
foresee events, he saw the World War approaching.
He saw that the United States inevitably would be
involved if that war lasted. And he foretod the con-
sequences of the great peace which was to follow.
To him the Balkanization of the world came as no
surprise.
This was the more remarkable when one con-
siders that when he first began to analyze its for
egn affairs this country felt itself remote as the
moon from the rest of the world And this sense OF
isolation was almost as complete in our statesmen
as it was in our people.
Abroad, as here, Frank Simonds was familiar
figure And wherever he went he was loved. With
a mischievous twinkle in his eyes, and smile on
his lips he welded his wit, like dArtagnan his
sword. enjoying his thrusts as they were enjoyed by
others.
His friends, his colleagues, American journalism

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT

BY MRS. WALTER FERGL

"T WISH Won could make it clear to me why women
l. have such passion for managing men," asks
a correspondent. evidently married Where hus-
bands are concerned, it amounts to fanaticism.
They never seem happy unless they can be order
ing us about"
Now that's something I've thought about lot
good sir.
You see women nearly always fall in love with
men who have the endearing vices of small boys
who never actually grow up. Now and then they
marry the other much rarer type-the strong de-
pendable upright Sort but they never love them to
distraction
If my correspondent is honest with himself he
will admit that the average husband behaves as if
he were still in krickers. He raids the ice box and
eats up all the goodies just before the company is to
arrive. He won't wipe his feet at the front door
in muddy weather and has such passion for dis
order that the house is in perpetual confusion when
he's in it. Evasive when questioned as to his where
abouts he wears the air of FESTIVE horse ready
to jump over the pasture fence the minute fem
mime halter appears. He throws his money away
foolishly and howls with anger when asked to dress
up for parties. Although his sox handkerchefs, and
shirts may have lain in the place in the same
dresser for years, he can never find anything he
hunts for He refuses to eat the food that is good
for him and has to be coaxed to the dentist and
doctor If he's been naughty he Invariably comes
bearing gifts.
That's why, although he may be hard-boied
business man at the Office or Chamber of Com
president, or great corporation executive to
his wife he's just little boy without the gunption
to take care of himself.
Believe me, sir when yomen cease wanting to
manage their husbands, they win have ceased to
love them

MUNITIONS REACTION

UNUSUAL pressure from 1.-THE folks back home"
~ is credited with inspiring the unanimous vote
of the Senate Munitions Committee to seek fur
ther funds to complete the inquiry into how and
why the United States entered the World War.
Hundreds of letters have been received by va
rious members of the committee; other hundreds
have come to non-members of both House and Sen

Several thousand communications have been re-
ceived. Most carry the plea to keep the United
States out of war and continue the investigation

Many expressed intense bitterness toward

OTHER OPINION
New Under the Sun
1.-THE vincennes Postl

What has been happening in
Kentucky? Gov. Chandler, since
assuming Office on Dec. 10. has dis
missed more than 500 office holders.
But, you say, such things simply
aren't done. Nevertheless, the news
dispatches say they have been an
accomplished fact in our sister state
in the last month. The miracle
seems regarded as all the more mir
aculous happening Just at Christ
mas time.
Being devoted to the horse, per-
hapS Kentucky is now attempting
to revive an affection for the buggy,
too. At least it appears her Cover
nor has nailed to the masthead of
his administration the fashioned
efficiency and economy in Office. "
The states floating debt had in
creased to S21 900, 0O0-a deficit in
the form of warrants bearing in
terest at the rate Of per cent
and the Governor felt the states ex-
pense leaks needed looking after
accordingly. The people of Ken
lucky call him Happy, and such a
course will surely bring that COM
monwealth into a happier state of
finance.
Of course, the first month may
no more make an administration
than the first robin makes a
spring. Or, since Kentucky is the
state involved, perhaps it would be
more appropriate to say the first
swallow. Anyhow. efficiency and
economy in government are en-
couraging anywhere and Kentuck-
ians should be more than happy II
Happy Chandler hits the public
economy ball with a real carry
through.

The HOOsier Forum
| 0holly disapproUe of a0hat you say-and will
defend to the death your right to sag it-Voltaire

paper Jan. 16 by George Golf, who
takes exception to the Supreme
Courts decision in regard to the
AAA.
I wonder where Mr.. Golf got the
idea that the jurists are mine old
men, whose brains have gone hay
wire, and who hold prejudice against
all common people"
What would happen to our 12O,-
100000 people if we did not have a
few sane, unbiased minds to police
and interpret the laws, or rather
proposals, that some power-seek-
ing political organization tries TO
force on an unsuspecting public?
Some persons have the idea that the
court is composed of old men with
warped minds. In answer to that I
would like to ask just what does our
so-called Congress consist Of? The
six judges said mo" to the AAA be-
cause the correct Interpretation of
our Constitution said it was wrong
and not because of supposed con-
nections with big corporations.
The depression was not caused by
the nine old r1en who make up the
Supreme Court, but by an over
anxious people who are living in an
age of speed and consequently can
not wait for delivery of anything
they purchase. This greed for speed
brought on the greatest evil that
ever hit any country. 1t is called
mass production. If the AAA could
reduce this evil I would propose it
as an amendment to the Constitu-
ton, but I can not see where curtail-
ment of crops, making farmers pay
processing taxes which now will be
returned to the packers to divide
among their stockholders, can help
us out of the position we are now in.

TODAY'S SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETZ-

THIS year the Westinghouse
Il Electric and Manufacturing Co.
celebrates its golden jubilee. The
company, incorporated on Jan. 8,
1886, began operations the following
March in a small factory building
in downtown Pittsburgh. The first
pay roll contained 200 names.
How the company-and America
has grown, is attested by the fact
that today Westinghouse has 10
plants, employs normally about
10000 people, and maintains
worldwide sales organization. Its
annual sales amount to about $780,
100000, making it one of the largest
electrical companies in the world.
A comparison of its original cata-
log with its present catalogs tells
the story of the progress Of the
electrical industry and the progress
of modern civilization.
The first catalog listed 10 items
for sale. At present, the company
sells hundreds of thousands Of
items, ranging from electric curling
irons to Diesel electric locomotives.
NNE of the proud boasts Of the
" Westinghouse organization Is
that it pioneered in the development
of the alternating current system,
now almost universally employed.
The company was one of the first
to recognize the limitations of the
direct current system which was in
vogue in the early days of the cleo
trical industry.
In November, 1886, the company
installed the first commercial alter
mating current system at Buffalo,

HAUPTMANN CONVICTION
TERMED UNJUST

By E'Claire
Will Hauptmann die? This one
question foremost in the news to-
day.
I'd like to ask: Will there never
be any justice in our American
courts? We teach school children
that all men shall receive justice
under the law and that all men are
innocent until proved guilty. How
can the courts kill a man on cir
cumstantial evidence very weak at
that)?
Just why did Col. Lindbergh re-
fuse search of his gruonds the night
of the kidnapping? I would like to
know why the G-men didn't arrest
him then and search anyway? Why
has the "heat" made a man of his
caliber leave the country?
Why didn't DR.. Condor have the
man arrested when he saw him on
the bus? Pretty thin alibi to say
he Thought it was none of his bust
ness"
Heat" waves must be unbearable
in America, because he also had to
leave the country.
Let's peruse some American JUS
tice:
1-Sacco- Vanzetti case. Electro
cuted. Innocent.
2-Dago Frank. Hanged. limo
cent.
3-Mooney-Billings. Life. limo
cent beyond a doubt.
Is this a country of justice for all
or is the underdog always to be the
scapegoat?
Hauptmann must not die if Amer
lea seeks justice.

ASKS BEER BE SOLD
IN RURAL STORES

BY Rural LunchrOom Owner
No wonder the excise department
was unable to pay the township
institutions when the state Legisla-
ture passed a law prohibiting issu-
ance of licenses to sell alcoholic bev-
erages outside of corporate limits.
The people in the rural districts
are voters and taxpayers just the
same as the people in the cities, and
they have a right to a neighborhood
store, grocery or lunchroom where
they can get beer.
The empty buildings along the
highways certainly do not enhance
or beautify the roads leading over
the state. And what about the peo-
pie who own their own business
places? Should they lose their life's
earnings bv having their mortgage
foreclosed? There simply is no
business in the county.
Respectable lunchrooms in the
counties certainly deserved licenses.
We can't all leave and run to the
city, and, furthermore, does it look
we'll to have two taverns in every
block in the city? Are these all run
so respectfully?
Give licenses to the rural neigh
borhood stores and the excise de-
partment will have enough money
to pay the townships their estimated
budget.

Your
Health
Bu
DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

HERE is a weekly grocery order
l. l. for a family Of three or four,
modified to include merely the eat
ables that your family simply must
have to remain healthy:
Milk-10 to Il quarts.
Bread-l4 to Is loaves.
EGGS.
Rice. macaroni, other cereals-3
to pounds.
Potatoes-15 to 20 pounds.
Beans and peas-1 or pounds.
Other vegetables to pounds.
Fruits pounds.
Tomatoes (canned)-2 to 3
pounds.
Fresh fruit, prunes. dried fruits
Occasionally.
Meat, fish and cheese to 5
pounds.
Butter. lard and oleomargarine-2
pounds.
Sugar, sweets, seasoning and cocoa
3 pounds.
Notice that there is no allowance
of coffee. Coffee is not an essential
substance in the diet, but it helps
one to greet the new day with
warmth and inspiration, and those
who are used to it may well have it.
incidentally, no one has ever
shown that moderate indulgence in
tea, coffee. or tobacco in any way
appreciably Shortens life.
A diet of this kind can be made
as attractive to the appetite as one
which is much more varied, depend
ing on the ways in which the food
is prepared.
Use of crackers with the soup, or
~ raisins with the rice pudding,
of a slice of lemon with the fish, or
of a small piece of cheese with pie
will do much to make any diet
more interesting and appetizing.
Moreover, the foods listed are all
easily digested and not likely TO
bother anybody except those who
happen to be sensitive to some Of
these food substances.
However, sensitivity is a very
special subject that 1 shall take up
in later articles in this series.
When you are planning diet on
an economic basis from limited
number of foods, you might follow
these simple rules, worked out by
a prominent diet authority.
l. Consider the whole day, rather
than the individual meal, as unit.
If breakfast is meager, serve a
heavier lunch and dinner. Plan SO
shortcomings of one meal are met
by the other two
2. Use some raw food, fruit, or
vegetable at least once a day.
3. Serve at each meal some con-
centrated food, either as a main
dish, soup. beverage, or dessert.
Usually at least one hot dish is de-
sirable.
4. Alternate foods of different
f1avors and textures. Thus highly
seasoned food may be served with
or following bland food, or a soft
food may follow a crisp one.
5. Sizes of portions served vary
with richness of food and number
of courses. The richer the food and
the greater the number of courses,
the smaller the portions served.

1T WOULD MAKE AN
INTERESTING CONTEST

By David Horn
I understand that in recent years
it has been a common sport on the
part of philanthropically inclined
millionaires to offer prizes for es-
says, novels, newspaper articles or
devising plans" for keeping the
United States out of war, or solving
prohibition problems, etc.
What seems rather mystery to
me is that I have never heard Of
anybody advertising a prize to
somebody originating a plan which
might rid the people of "depres-
sions." How come? Would such a
venture prove contrary to the Con-
stitution of the United States?

Behind us the twilight, deepening,

interests. Notice the confession:
Industrial groups are able to pass
the tax (income tax, protective tar
if markup, etc. on to the con-
sumner.
The farmer pays his own share
of the tax as well as the part that
is shifted to him unjustly by others.
So why this intensive drive against
the agricultural group now? The
cat is out of the bag. Heavy taxes
are coming. Some one must pay
them. The industrial group would
make the agricultural group pay if
it can.
It will, too, unless farmers get
and hold the power to control their
products price, SO they may pass
back that part of the tax burden
that has been shifted to them un-
justly. Let them shrek against
scarcity economy.

their hotel the other night, discuss
ing with some people how difficult
it is to estimate some persons
ages by their appearances.
Some one said:
For instance, Judge Baltzell
doesn't look more than 35."
The maid mulled it over, conceded
it true, and added, bit sadly,
this pearl of worldly wisdom:
But he goes to bed every night
at 9 o'clock, so what difference does
it make"
NEVERTHELESS, Judge Baltzell
y does not go to bed at 9 every
night. On wrestling match nights
he is at the ringside, getting a great
kick out of the "grllnt and groan
boys"
There are uncontirmed runors
abroad that the wrestling industry
is not strictly on the level, but that
there is sort of schedule between
the lads as to who is to win the
next bout and why.
These rumors are unconfrmed
largely because the wrestlers them
selves, sensitive fellows, claim that
it is a case of may the best man win
and that they'd like to get their
hands on the party or parties who
intimate anything else. One would
think judge would look specula-
lively on such business.
Even SO, Judge Baltzell goes to al
most every bout, and occasionally
can be caught discussing the rela-
tive merits of different wrestlers
with court attaches he has spied
through the smoke of the Armory
now and then.

FUDGE BALTzELL is

FUDGE BALTzELL is very pop
- ular with newspaper men who
know him and cover hearings in
his court. Many times pure law
and legal fights between attorneys
don't make paragraph of news in
an hour of hearing, and the report
ers may get bored.
But they can't get bored to the
extent of not listening at all. be-
cause they might miss something.
1t is always news, of course, when
the court itself gets impatient and
reprimands an attorney. The Judge
has said that law suit is not a
battle of wits, but an attempt to
get at the facts, and he wants coun-
sci to hew to that line.
Newspaper men who know Judge
Baltzell know when this is about to
happen. AS he gets impatient with
a stubborn or stupid attorney, he
wrinkles his nose. The more i'm
patient, the more wrinkles.
When he can't put another wrinkle
in it, he is just about ready to sail
into some one and the pencils poise
for action.
