Federal government ror attempting to stimulate the
building industry.
Engineering News-Record reports construction
costs at 201.2 per cent of the 1913 average
In january the figure was 1895 per cent and in
December 1949 per cent
Wholesale lumber prices have gone up twice in
six weeks, and in the East bricks up 81 q thou

Government officials have become increasingly
aware in recent months that no substantial gain in
residential housing take place until costs are
low enough to enable low income families to build
or buy rent decent homes.

ITALY BUYS REAL ESTATE

ITALY had paid 442OOoOoo thus far for her

to show for this vast expenditure?
In the North the Italians hold strip of ter

of barren and uninhabited mountains The best
real estate salesman would have a hard time even
giving this land away.
In the South the Italian armies have advanced
$50 miles up a tropical river valley infested by
reptiles and reeking with malaria and other dis
eases. The climate is so hot that even the Ethio-
plans can't colonze the valley.
In the East the Italians hold tiny strip of

French Somaliland border. 1t is desert country

A SEAMEN'S LABOR BOARD

CREATION Of a National Maritime Labor Board
- similar to the board created a decade ago I'M
der the Railroad Labor Att to bring peace to rail
labor relations. is under consideration by the White
House
This move might be to troubled labor
conditions in ports Of the Pacific and Gulf coasts
and New York City.
The Railroad Labor Act of 1926 provides an or
derby procedure for the investigation and arbitra-
ton of rail labor disputes Since that act was passed
there has been big railroad strike even though the
railroads have passed through their worst crisis On
the other hand there has been turmoil on the wa
terfronts for years, climaxed in 1884 by the San
Francisco general strike
Representatives of the Seamens Union asked the
Administration in 1884 to back bill creating a
National Maritime Board Failure of the MIRA ship
ping code gave impetus to the movement Senator
Johnson (R, CALI introduced resolution asking the
Postmaster General and Secretaries of Commerce
and Labor to take steps toward such board.
Maritime and waterfront employees come under
the National Labor Relations Board but the special
problems involved in this field are cited by advocates
of special machinery similar to that in the railroad
industry. Such act would affect some 10000
workers.
Similar boards have been operating in England
and Japan for years. There seems to be no good
why the United States should lag behind any
longer

TODAY'S SCIENCE

NEW YORK, Feb. I'll While
~ parlor pinks and some of the
literati are devoting considerable
talk, loose and otherwise, to the
possibility of revolution, a museum
has just been opened here to cele-
brate a revolution that already is in
progress.
1t is the biggest revolution in his
tory-tns worldwide revolution
which is being brought about by the
application of science t. industry.
The museum is the New York
Museum of Science and Industry
which threw open its doors in the
RCA Building of Rockefeller Center
last week.
It's function is to take the layman
behind the scenes of the scientific
and industrial laboratories and to
show him the way in which white
jacketed experts are making bigger
changes in his life than the world
ever has seen.
Experts of the General Electric
laboratories recently perfected
new electric switch, which is on is

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 81. 1886.
1920 AND 1896

THE 1886 election race doesn't open officially
until March TO- when the first presidential
primaries take place but politics-loving America
already certain the most spirited show it has seen
in 16 years
Not since 1920 has the G. O. P staged a free-for-
all preconvention fight. like the one under way.
All that years tricks are being rehearsed and few
added attractions beside.
Nowhere, in the primary skrmishes of 1920 did
any engagements take place as significant as the
Illinois and Ohio primaries of 1886 promise to be-
Left-wing Borah and Right-wing Knox will do
battle in those two states with their large blocs of
convention delegates and Landon may get into the
fight as well. In 1920 the issue was not SO clearly
presented in any of the large states.
Gen. Leonard Wood fought with Gov Frank o.
Lowden for Illinois but Hiram Johnson the other
leading contender did not get into the Illinois race
Ohio Republicans put forward Warren G. Harding
"favorite son." and only Wood challenged him
In Ohio.
Voters of only five states had an opportunity to
pass on all three leading contenders The states were
Indiana, Michigan, Montana oregon and South Da-
koa the last three relatively unimportant politically
When the smoke of that primary battle cleared
Senator Johnson had carried six states with 100 dele
gates Wood had five states with 80 delegates and
Lowden had one state, Illinois, with So Johnson's
strength was all in the West Woods in the East
Senators Sutherland of West Virginia Harding of
Ohio and La Toilette of Wisconsin and Gov. Sprou
Of Pennsylvania had the delegations of their states
This year, the Illinois and Ohio primaries prob
ably will be fought twice as bitterly as they were
even in that bitter year. For Borah should carry
them, with the strength he is certain to have in the
West, he would have much longer start toward the
nomination than any candidate had when the 1920
convention opened
Victory by Borah in Illinois would virtually elm
mate Knox from the race No republican convention
has ever nominated man unable to carry his own
state in a preconvention fight More important
still, it would virtually eliminate Herbert Hoover
whose views are represented by Knox more closely
than any other candidate in the race.
Borah success in Ohio would have much the
same effect on the Hoover prestige. Conservative
Republican leaders, seeking an uninstructed deega-
ton from Ohio have been planning it is believed to
swing at the proper time either to Hoover. or his
political heir
And Borah victory in California, where he may
decide to enter the primary would be final blow to
Hoover aspirations.

GEN. MITCHELL

IF CONGRESS had passed the now pending
Military Disaffection Bill" during his life Gen.
William Mitchell probably would have died in pris-
on. For American bitterly criticised the Army
air service as did this hero. But having been
court martialed convicted of conduct prejudicial
to military discipline and suspended, Gen. Mitchell
continued to berate the Army and Navy exercising
d cvnlans right of free speech-a right which some
lawmakers would abridge.
Gen. Mitchell's war service was without blem-
ish. His peace service not be regarded as any
less patriotic. When the war stopped he kept on
fighting. He believed that We spending too
much on battleships, not enough in the develop
ment of air service He foretold much of avia-
tons future that to many he seemed to De gifted
with prophetic vision
He had unruy tongue, but did Samuel
Adams Thomas Paine, Patrick Henry and others
who came to be revered by later generations for
the fights they made.

FROM THE RECORD

CENATOR BYRNES Cd, S. CO: What would be
~ the effect upon the farmer if we should adopt
both of these plans? Would the Senator withdraw
acres from cultivation in order to comply with the
soil-conservation features of the bill and thereby
receive the benefits, would he plant all his acres
in cotton in orde to get the benefit of the cents
per pound?
Senator Smith Cd. s. CO: My colleague has put
his finger right the exact contradiction in the two
proposals. One of them is to encourage me to grow
all can so as to get the cents plus whatever the
other price is and the other is to cut down produc
ton the point where automatically the price would
rise and be beneficial
Senator Byrnes: How would the farmer know
which would be beneficial to increase to decrease?
Senator Smith: think he would be in the fix of
the who tried to decide the question Of pre-
destination:

as heading to an article Marines
Fail to Land With Park Drill Plan"
I believe the article was intended
to poke fun at something he knew
little about. Whoever heard of a
Marine not landing, dead or alive?
I'm sure this group of fine young
men are not panty-waists.
1t is a fact that the entire Old
World is trying to start a war and
only a spark is needed to set it off.
We are not going to take any part
in any European quarrel, so we say,
but we did about 20 years ago when
we said the same thing.
How do we know if the Marines
will or won't have to land if inva-
sion should knock at our front
door?
Therefore, I think the Marines
should have the fullest co-opera-
ton of every American citizen and
respect for their record second to
none.
I think that indianapolis should
be proud to have a Marine Reserve.
Taxes wouldn't be enough to notice.
Why not send that reporter
around some Thursday night when
we have drill and meet company
of real Marines and then see if the
Marines don't land?

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

IOMELESS humans treated far less merci-
l. fully by the City of New York than homeless
animals" says Manhattan judge. What is true of
for. four-legged beasts, especially dogs,
brings into sharp relief his often cruel unconcern
about his own kind.
Do you remember the scene in the moving pic
ture "a Tale of Two Cities" when meat was hauled
through Paris streets between long lines of amished
men, women and children, to be thrown to the dogs
of aristocrats? 1t dreadful thing to see. But
of American woman. popular, famous, beloved,
who gives each day to hundreds of stray dogs
good meal and clean kennel for rest.
Her constitutional right to do this is undeniable.
But speaking n-the broader terms of humanity she
has no such right unless she say that good
meal day has been provided for the same number
of hungry children.
Not to feed the poor is bad enough, but to con-
slider them not important enough to feed is the
sharpest pang in their long process of starvation
For man wants some evidence of his value to the
social scheme, to keep his head up and his heart
alive
After all is said, it is not the food we give dogs
which makes the subject vital one 1t is the love
We lavish upon them and which we so often with
hold from our own kind. The eyes of stray chill
dren accuse us on that score-children who hunger
as much for crumbs of attention as they do for
crumbs of bread-who are starved for caresses and
who need the power of affection to make them whole
and happy.

One can easily see that these fig
ures represent the efforts exercised
by the present administrs ton to al
leviate the burden of the home
owner. over the four-year period,
this decrease in property taxes
amounted to 1852 per cent. Further
a perusal of the records of Cows
McCray, Branch and jackson will
reveal that little or no effort was
made to reduce property taxes.
Thus, it can be seen that Gov.
McNutt did carry out the principles
of the Democratic platform, and re-
lieve the property owner by a sub
stantial reduction of property taxes.
Granted that there is an increase
of approximately $5,000,00O for 1886
over 1885. Nevertheless, this figure
of $96,279,674 is 1901 per cent or
$54,191,179 below the high figure of
$150,470,853 reached in 1880.
If these fault-fnders had in
spected the public records, I feel
sure that they would have withheld
their criticism.

IF you are seriously underweight,
l. you should eat food containing
1000 to 5000 calories each day. The
carbohydrate or sugar content of
such a diet should represent about
1000 calories; proteins, approx
mately 100 grams.
Chief weight building substances
in the diet are milk, cream, butter,
bacon, breads, and vegetables which
offer plenty of calories, such as peas,
lima beans, rice, macaroni and spa
ghetti. In addition, foods especially
rich in carbohydrates, such as malt
ed milk, dry milk, and olive oil, may
prove helpful.
Regular meals may be supple
mented by extra food eaten at 1890
a. m. and 4 and $50 p. m.
Foods with high water or rough
age content should, of course, be
omitted or used sparingly. These
include such products as asparagus,
bouillon, cauliflower, cucumbers,
sauerkraut, tomatoes, radishes, eel

REBUKES CRITICS OF
GUARDSMEN

BY Dock
In answer to two letters appear
ing in your paper calling the Indi-
ana National Guard Gov. M,cNutt's
tin soldiers" writers are hereby
informed that the National Guards
men rank as high as any regular
soldier. I live in Indianapolis and
have served number of years as
law-enforcing officer. I find that
those serving as guardsmen are
clean young fellows far above the
average in ability to do things and
are looked up to in their commu-
nifty as men wanting peace.
AS for being strike breakers, I
want to discourage any one thinking
in that line. I find that a ma
jority of the boys are employed in
union shops and are very much in
sympathy with union labor.
Now for the benefit of the critics,
these boys are officers. They have
no use for thugs, hijackers and
thieves and the kind of sympathizers
that are willing to stand in the dark
and break out window lights, MAIN
or kill people, destroy personal
property and have the blame laid on
some man who disagrees with his
employers and strikes for more
wages.

GOOD-BY

That moment of high tension is
relief;

The old routine without you,

It's not the murmuring the word
good-by
That clouds my world and tears
