out OF employment. Manufacturers
everywhere were closing their plants.
No smoke from their smokestacks
was seen. Banks closing every
where; banks which were not closed
absolutely were restricted from pay
ing depositors. Thus innocent de-
positors were left helpless. Millions
were suffering for the necessities of
life. Was it not time for change?
Was it not time for a new deal?
Mr.. Hoover finds fault with this
Administration for what? He claims
Mr.. Roosevelt is trespassing upon
the Constitution. The Constitution
does not deny our government aid
ing the needy nor comforting those
in dire distress. Nor for making it
possible for manufacturers to open
their plants and give employment
to labor. Why does not Mr.. Hoover
offer some plausible solution or cure
for the dreadful depression which he
must father?
In Mr.. Hoovers speech at Fort
Wayne he said, 1.-THE President said
there was not enough of gold to
pay everybody who held gold obli-
cations. You might as we'll say
there are not enough collins to bury
the people all at once" Is the above
utterance the language of a states
man or a demagog?

EASTER IN INDIANAPOLIS

INDIANAPOLIS is to observe Easter tomorrow with
a greater expression of devotion and reverence
than the city has seen in years. 1t is to climax
impressive observance of Holy Week, commemor-
ated the week of the last suffering of Christ and
as the week of the cruchxion
Yesterday. thousands joined in downtown devo-
tons of Good Friday Services held in churches
and theaters Many stores closed, and others made
it possible for their employees to join in the worship
The deep, spiritual character of the occasion for
indianapolis this year may be seen in the more than
100 Easter church programs published in this issue
of The Times. Of particular interest is the 14th
annual Easter sunrise carol service on Monument
Circle. Instituted and directed by Mrs. James M
Ogden, sponsored by the Ogden Junior Chorale, the
service is to feature Easter music by 300 voices from
many church choirs Fort Harrison many lodges and
other organizations have arranged special programs
to carry out the traditional spirit of the day.

MUCH of the usefulness of vege-
AtA tables is destroyed by i'm
proper cooking. Some of the loss
comes from dissolving the useful
substances in the cooking water;
others from overheating.
There are varying points of view
as to how the vitamin values are
best retained. The Bureou of Home
Economics of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture advocates
rapid cooking of vegetables at the
boiling point for as short a time
as possible. This, it is believed,
prevents loss of nutrinent and
also gives more desirable color and
flavor to the vegetables.
The nutritive value of most vege-
tables is retained by baking in the
skin or eating raw.
It has been recommended that
strongly favored vegetables, such
as cabbage, cauliflower, and tur-
nips, be cooked in a covered vessel
in large amount of boiling water,
and that mild-flavored vegetables,
such as spinach. green beans, and
peas, be cooked without cover in
the smallest possible amount of
boiling water.
Mild-flavored vegetables which
are not green, such as carrots
corn ana celery, should be cooked
either covered or uncovered, in q
moderate amount of water.

WE'RE LEARNING

INDIANAPOLIS has learned much about traffic law
- violations this week.
1t learned that in two-month period II per
cent of all cars parked in the downtown mile square
area violated traffic ordinance not counting
overtime parking.
More important, it learned that automobile laws
can be enforced. The police tried the experiment
of triplicate "non-hxable" stickers This simply is
a matter of enforcing existing laws and using a
more thorough check-up on arrest notices.
officials claim the fixing" of traffic tickets has
ended. They found citizens willing to cooperate
Fines 80 per cent of the stickers were paid within
the specified time per cent on second notice while
per cent carried their cases to court.
The result is that when all are treated alike, and
no one believes that persons of influence" are
evadng punishment, there is little disposition to
dsobey the law.
The traffic survey by $50 youths of the National
Youth Administration gives basis for definite
corrective action 1t reveals the hit-or-miss char
acter OF enforcement in the past 1t shows where
and when and to what extent the traffic laws have
been ignored.
Police say the AK proof" stckers already greatly
have reduced traffic violations, especially parking
offenses.
The groundwork for continuous safety program
Is here. The campaign" of non-fxable stickers
should become permanent policy

TODAY'S SCIENCE
by DAVID DIETZ.

IGHTY- FIVE savants, repre-
~ senting - nationalities, have
played sufficiently important role
in the study of cosnlic rays to de-
serve to have their names listed in
a comprehensive history of the
subject.
You will find them enumerated
in a table at the back of Prof. Har-
vey Brace Lemons new and excel
lent little book, "Cosmic Rays Thus
Far" Two years ago Prof. Lemon
published his splendid summary of
the science of physics under the
title of From Calico to Cosmic
Rays" The present book, therefore,
may be regarded somewhat as a
sequel.
But though IS students have
made important contributions to
the stucv of cosmic rays, Prof.
Lemon makes it clear that the scene
did not grow exciting until DR.. r. A.
Millikan entered the field.
The history of cosmic rays may be
divided into periods. There was the
first from 1900 to 1915 during which
the existence of penetrating radia-
tions of some sort in the atmosphere
was discovered. Attempts at under
standing it were not very satisfac-
tory. Among those who suggested
that the rays might be cosmic in
origin was Nine. Curie.
The period from 1915 to 1925 was
one of inactivity.
In 1925, Millikan, by series OF
brilliant experiments, established
definitely the cosmic origin of these
rays.
The next chapter was the debate
over the nature of the rays between
DR.. Millikan and DR.. Arthur H
Compton. Prof. Lemon fails to men,
ton the several important meetings
of national scientific societies at
which Millikan and Compton direct
ly challenged each others view
points.
He does, however, make it clear
that the general opinion today is
that the rays consist of charged
particles, the view which has been
cheuploned by Cnupt0n.

SEES SHOPPERS ON HUNT
FOR RAW MILK PAIL
By r. H. Stol

Milk and beer are sister and
brother. During prohibition the
dairy maid was supreme. The fairy
dancer perched upon the wine glass
disappeared Instead, the corn-fed
matron of the farm appeared in pic
lures beside the prize winning heifer.
When the boys came home from
France they missed the jolly petite
bar maid. Shoppers with sideburns
peeped through keyholes of the post
halls hunting for signs of beer. Now
the tables are turned. 1t is a reason
for suspicion to be caught with a
milk pail. A fellow may have been
lucky enough to buy some rich raw
milk. The witch of purity married
to monopoly may grab the guilty

CASE is, APPEALED
Little Gloria's Mother. Takes Claim to
u. S.. Supreme Court for
Permanent Custody

Washington, Feb. 25 .AP)-Mrs.
Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt appealed
today to the Supreme Court to give
her her sole custody of her 12-year-
old daughter, Gloria, over whom a
colorful legal battle has been waged
for months.
She appealed from a decision of
the appellate division of the New
York Supreme Court giving princi-
pal custody of the child to her pa
ternal aunt, Mrs. Harry Payne Whit
ney.
The child, heiress to a considerable
fortune, was permitted, under the
New York court order, to spend two
days of each week, Christmas Day
and the month of July of each
year with her mother.
During the trial to determine who
should have custody of her, the testi-
mony at times was such that the
court ordered the public excluded.
Mrs. Vsnderbilt's petition was for
a writ of habeas corpus. She con-
tended "the petitioner and the infant
have been deprived of their liberty
without due process of the law, in
violation of the provisions of the 18th
amendment to the Constitution of
the United States"

ION today attending the conference of
Governors OF tobacco producing states
iaued last week by Governor George
paery. of Virginia, to discuss with
federal tobacco authorities the pos
sibilitv or ACCESSIBILITY of trying to
form a pact of tobacco growing states.
The plan now being advocated by the
tobacco experts Of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture proposes that the
tobacco growing states, or a major
itv of them, pass identical State laws
similar to the former Kerr tobacco
control law, which would give states
the power to limit the amount of to-
hacc0 that could be planted and mar
keted by imposing penalties. The
Federal government would continue
70 nav benefits to farmers who retired
tobacco acreage and plant it in other
crops, as provided in the new farm
Hill now before Congress. Federal leg
islation would also be proposed to pro-
hibit the interstate shipment or sale
of tobacco in excess of the quotas
fixed by the government for states
which do not join the pact, it is I'M
derstood.
Tobacco Situation Dark.
Governor Ehringhaus declined to
comment either on the State pact
nlan or on whether he would call a
snecial session if the other states
agree to it, before his departure for
Washington last night. He indicated
that he wanted to study the entire
program carefully and become fami-
liar with what is being proposed be-
fore making any comment. He agreed
however, that the tobacco situation is
very dark in view of the 800,000,000
pound crop this year which resulted
because of the incorrect estimates
made by the AAA and the additional
acreage it permitted to be planted

These commissions, working to-

ments, would set up production quo
tas with allotments to. individual grow
ers similar to those under the repeal

growers selling over their quotas

value of the tobacco.
