A FEW days ago we stressed the Importance OF
paying early and earnest attention to the ques-
ton Of the vice presidency, instead of following the
usual course Of apathy, with the Vice President
being selected as an afterthought.
Here is forcefully expressed view of a reader
on the subject which we think will be worth your
time:
America faces greater problems than those
which led to the Civil War. Our school textbooks
clarifying one side the other never have properly
informed the people what awful, needless dis
aster that was, one from which we never have re-
covered nation which can stumble, as we
stumbled into such disaster has no ground to be
bandly optimistic over its ability to handle safely
the present situation.
Slavery was problem comparatively simple
Of solution compared with the we confront to-
day: The need of giving the worker sufficient pur-
chasing power to absorb the products of the ma
chine and the unwllingness Of the owning classes
to adjust their minds remove the prejudces of the
age Of scarcity that they meet this imperative
need. We are gravey in danger not of another
f1ve-year Civil War but of something infinitely
worse-the danger of entering upon long period
of sporadic struggle, in which freedom and orderly
processes are suspended.
I'm the face OF such situation can we not sum-
patriotism to rise above petty politics so that
each party will nominate for second place a man
actually believed fit for first place-a man fit to be
captain of the ship in stormy weather?
Along with getting potential chief executive for
the vice presidency, real job should be given him.

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
By Mrs. Walter Ferguson

1~HERE Is something about bus travel that fosters
friendliness. Riding last week through Sec
ton of the drought-strcken Middle West the passen
gers chartered together like magpies All except an
Indiany who sat alone and apart. He was wrapped
tidily in a white sheet beneath which showed
glimpses of shiny serge suit. red feather adorned
his felt hat
1t was impossible to guess how many years he had
lived His face held the ageessness that star
ties one sometimes In the faces of newborn babies
kind of neverness" in the countenances of the
very young and the very old.
Only once-when the conversation got around as
it generally does in this country, to Dr. Paul Sears
book Deserts on the March"-did the Indian speak
I wish could make you feel his attitude of re-
moteness from such mundane matters as seed time
and harvest and reproduce for you the cadences of
his voice. It's tone that of one who utters
prophecies. quick silence fell oyer us when he
said:
Many moons ago, when was young, the great
Chief of the LEM Lenape told us of the coming of
all these things, His eyes could into the future
He spoke of the day when the sun would be blotted
out by dust and the grass would grow no more on
prairies and horses would be dead of thirst
He told us of the White Man.
1.-THE White MAN Is filled with many follies He
is destroyer He has been unjust to the Indian He
is greedy and the Great Spirit Him you call God, is
angry with the White Man. He will be punished
Now you say the government soon will plant more
grass these prairies. The government can not do
that The buffalo grass is killed Other seeds will
not take root. The soil is gone. No one can put 1t
back. The White Man will suffer for his folly"
After that the Indian spoke no more. Now it may
be merely strange coincidence, but the fact is that
when reached my destination bought newspaper
and read what certain of modern soil experts
saying about the plains country. They merely
repeated what the old Indian had told us With the
native grass gone it is unlikely any other can take
root there. Assuredly the white man is being pun
ished for his folly.

KAMERAD!

A RE you one who turned to this page today ex
n pecting a pontifcal discourse en- the new
Federal tax bill? Do you say that it is our duty
to shed light on matters of such moment?
If so, then say: Hold your breath and read
these as words lifted from that tax bill:
"If the undistributed net income is a percentage
of the adjusted net income which is less than ten
the tax shall be percentage Of the adjusted net
income equal to one-tenth of the percentage which
the undistributed net income is of the adjusted net
income"
And furthermore, we say to you that the tax
bill contains total of some $4,000 words laid end
to end in similar sequence.
Meanwhile, perhaps can agree on one point:
That the English language as used by our lawmakers
does not contribute to the simplicity of existence nor
to sympathetic cooperation between citizens and
their government.

OF half the relief appropriation for pwA would
mean that before the fiscal year has ended, PWA
would be out of funds and back at the doors of
Congress asking for appropriation. Congress
then would have to appropriate more borrowed
money or leave several hundred thousand families
to starvation.
Standing out ike sore thumb in all this relief
mess is the need for a socially scientific policy,
financed within our taxable means in place of the
various appropriations of the past and present
eress well could write into the relief appropriation
provision creating Federal relief policy board to
evolve long-range program
Meanwhile, have to make choice of the
least of several evils.

FRIDAY. APRIL "a, 1885
UP FROM THE GRAVE

THE rescue OF DR.. D. E. Robertson and Alfred
- Scadding from the dark and silent depths of
their Nova Scotia mine where they we're buried since
Easter Sunday was a triumph Of the human will.
1t was a great and dramatic story. as all such
burals are, because of the element of suspense. 1t
was greater than drama because 1t showed humans
mot only the pair buried alive but also the rescuers
who SHE'D no hardship or risk-in roles of stout
heroes.
1t Is tragic thing that men acting collectively
fall so far short Of the nobility they display as ind
viduas Last year. according to United States Bureau
OF Mines estimates l241 lost their lives in Amer
lean coal mines alone and hundreds more were
killed in other mines Fully half OF these deaths
we're from accidents due to falling materials, and
fully hreefourths of these accidents from falling
materials could have been avoided by the proper
tmbering of mines.
These hundreds of deaths in the mines were not
blazoned in the press They were just part Of the
routine OF great industry If society showed frac-
ton of the same zeal in safeguarding life that is
shown when rescue becomes necessary, hundreds who
died last year still might be living.

MUCH foolish advice is circu-
Iva lated on the value of massage
during the expectant period. 1t is
contended that massage will pre-
vent soaring and will preserve
the figure, But massage is un-
necessary, and should never be
used except by advice of a doctor
and under his immediate direction.
II, for any reason, a woman is
compelled to remain in bed for sew

exercise in the form of passive mo-

legs and arms will be moved for
her by an attendant. But even
passive motion under such circum-
stances must be prescribed by the
doctor.
The prospective mother must
learn to rest frequently. If she

Another pernicious notion Is the
idea that bathing during this time
may be harmful. Cleanliness at all

the human body. This does not
mean excessive bathing.

TODAY'S SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETz

NEW YORK, April 24.-During
l Y the next few years you will
hear much discussion of the neu-
trino, which some physicists in a
spirit ranging from amusement to
derision, have named the cosmic
clown. Does the neutrino exist or
does it not? That is the question
which physicists must answer and
either answer puts them in bad
way.
If they agree to the existence of
the neutrino. they must admit the
existence of something which they
never have seen or otherwise meas
ured. Perhaps cosmic ghost would
be a better name for it.
If they refuse to admit the exist
ence of the neutrino, then they must
abandon the most fundamental law
of all science, the law of the con-
servation of energy and its corollary,
the law of the conservation of mo-
mentum. The neutrino is assumed
to be particle the size 81 the cleo
tron. The electron, one of the con-
stituents of the atoms of matter, is
so small that 100000 could rest
upon the period at the end of this
sentence. The electron has a mega
tive electric charge. Exactly like
the electron in weight, but positive
in electric charge. is the positron.
The neutrino fits between the two
and is electrically neutral. It is the
fact that neutrino has 10 electric
charge which has made it impossi-
bic for physicists to detect its exist
ence.

THE GIRL SCOUTS

MAINTENANCE of Camp Dellwood and the Lit
Az tie House the coming year will hinge largely
on support given the Girl Scouts tomorrow in their
annual cookie day sale. The cookies will be on sale
at AZ downtown booths and at dozens of booths in
other parts of the city.
Half of the 1400 indianapolis Girl Scouts use
Dellwood for summer or weekend camping and for
hikes. Most of the ctys troops have girls there
during the summer. Since the Little House opened
last October, 844 adults and 646 Girl Scouts have
used the building for meetings, training courses
examinations parties and teas
The cookie sale is the one occasion of the year
when the Girl Scouts appeal for aid. Helping them
will help continue two worthy projects.

BELIEVES SWIMMERS
ARE OFFENDERS
BY Mrs. Nellie Picou

BY Mrs. Nellie Picou
Recently I read an article in the
paper announcing that in Warsaw,
Ind, which is near summer resorts,
they are not going to allow women
and girls to parade the streets
wearing shorts and bathing suits
If they do they will be arrested !
say Hurrah for Warsaw! I wish
indianapolis had such a law. We
do not have many summer resorts,
but plenty of nudeneSs.
It is the most disgraceful thing
I ever have seen-women and men
i1alf-naked walk out in front of
their homes, climb in an auto be-
fore any one, without being the least
bit embarrassed. Then If a man
says the least little thing to them
they are ready to find fault.
If women today will keep their
place-act, talk and dress decently,
men will respect them. If they at
least want to be halfway respect
full they would cover themselves
with bathrobe. But very few do,
which proves they want to expose
their persons.
1t isn't cute. 1t isn't smart. It is
vulgar.

Watch Your Health

called on for increased elimination
and excretion of waste substances,
and the skin is one of the impor-
tant organs of the body involved
in removal of such waste.
THERE are many kinds Of baths,
l. including the shower, sponge, or
tub varieties, and those given in bed.
Very hot baths cause fatigue. The
best temperature of water under
these circumstances is between IS
and 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
Even those who are accustomed
to a cold plunge every morning will
find it best to increase the ternpera-
ture of the bath during the expect
ant period. Certainly warm bath
daily is a requirement for the ex-
pectant mother.
If the mother to-be finds 1t diff
cult to sleep, she may take the warm
bath at night, because it is relaxing
and promotes sleep. If the warm
bath is taken in the morning. al
least an hour should elapse before
the woman goes outdoors, so that
her body may become accustomed to
the change in temperature
Tub baths should be avoided and
the sponge or shower bath substi-
tuted during the last months. This
helps the prospective mother avoid
infection.
Extraordinary types of baths, such
as cold showers, ocean baths, and
particularly Turkish and Russian
sweat baths, should not be taken ex-
cept under the advice of a doctor
because they are exhausting.

HOUSE-CLEANING TIME
BY JOSEPHINE DUKE MOTLEY

Somehow my folks never threw
things away. -
We've trunks filled with clothes and
ribbons so gay.
Worn by charming young girls in a
by-gone day.
My mind would destroy, but my
heart says, Nay
So I slip in a smock and catch up
Broom.
It's housekeeping time, and I see
my doom,
Scattering dirt from the old attic
room
Where ghosts haunt rose dust OF
buds once in bloom.
Yes, I know I'm dirty from head
to toes,
And I haven't made Roadway, good
ness knows,
But I have had fun, as fun some
times goes,
Browsing where folklore and trag-
edy flows.

Business was strangled, millions
thrown out of work.
1t took six years for land prices
and rents to recede so that labor
and capital could again resume
profitable operations. Since nothing
was done to uproot the seeds, We
now are on the high road to another
economic catastrophe, as evidenced
by increasing land rents and prices.
We never shall know the meaning
of real prosperity until we eliminate
once and for all land monopoly
and speculation in the natural re-
sources. BY limiting the amount of
available land, these vicious prac-
tees restrict the chance to work,
create unemployment, and result in
lower wages, poverty and economic
misery to millions.
The only sensible and practical
remedy that yet has been proposed
is the one advocated by Henry
George, who yet will rank with
Washington and Lincoln as among
the nations greatest.

MILLIONS ARE SPENT;
PROBLEM LIVES
BY E. B. Swinney

By E. B. Swinney
The lavish expenditure of billions
of our good money will go a long
way toward securing Roosevelts re-
election, even though his recovery
program miserably has failed to re-
form our economic machinery.
Not even the first step has been
taken to remove the underlying
cause of this depression, which
wrought widespread havoc during
the last six years. What improve
ment has taken place is due entirely
to natural causes, and the Admin
istration deserves no credit.
The wild land racket that swept
the country before 1929 inflated
values to the point where labor and
capital no longer could function.

"When I first tried to photograph
the albino, 1t took hours to get a
camera shot because the other buffalo
would form a protecting circle around
the calf" Roahen said.
There are about 600 animals in the
national bison range herd-the limit

established in 1909 and lies along
