RETRIBUTION

TERR HITLER wired to the League of Nations
Council message which was interpreted as
demand that the council consider his peace pro-
posals forthwith" Quite naturally the French
resented such peremptory order
But before the French delegation had time to
walk out of the peace meeting, the German embassy
in London explained that the German word "alsbald"
did not mean forthwith" but meant in due course"
which gave entirely different tone to the Hitler
communication.
This is just incident, but somehow it seems
typical of the whole European Babel where Earring
tongues clashing personalities and conflicting as
pirations have brought about state of confusion
and misunderstanding which threatens the peace of
the world.
AS the translator bungled in converting Ger
word into comparable French and English
just so have European governments down through
the years misunderstood and misconstrued the ac-
tions and detectives of neighboring governments.
How different it might have BEEN At Versailles
the conquering British and French forced the con-
quered Germany to sign shameful treaty. If
only they had then recognized that the German
people would more submit permanently to such
humiating peace terms than would the British
or French people under reversed circumstances!
Or If, through the years when liberal democratic
government in Germany trying to lead that
country back the allied powers had made honorable
concessions, Herr Hitler might still be holding rImp
revolutions in Munich beer cellar But because
the allied powers failed to concede, Germany's
brooding despair under an impotent democracy
burst forth in defiance under Hitler
And now what the German people once pleaded
for, Hitler grabs with a mailed fist. The domineer-
ing allies muffed their opportunity to be mag
unanimous. Instead they stand reluctant and fearful
before an outraged people who are led by power
hungry zealot of the allies own creation

PEACEFUL PICKETING

DY vote of to the City Council has refused
IL to recognize the right of peaceful picketing.
The majority decision, in our judgment, is both I'M
fair and unwse.
Peaceful picketng is constitutional. 1t is a right
upheld by many court decisions To attempt to deny
that right merely adds to the bitterness of industrial
disputes.
Perhaps in perfect world there would be no
industrial conflicts. But as long as we are human
there will be occasions when men disagree with
their neghbors-there will be business disputes, in
ternatonal disputes, political disputes labor dis
putes. The object of a civilized community is to
keep such disputes peaceful.
If there is one thing which will destroy more rea-
son on the part of labor than any other it is the
belief that the law is rugged against labor. Eff
forts to prevent picketing succeed only in driving
discomfort underground making labor relations more
explosive.
The line drawn by Indianapolis should not be
between picketing and non picketng, but between
peace and violence.
AS matter OF fact, no indianapolis ordinance
which prohibits peaceful pckefulg can be made eff
fective because it violates higher Indiana law and
Supreme Court decisions.

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

T@HE WONGAN's DIGEST has reached the clut-
tered desk and-wonder of wonders-the ed-
tor is woman Nina Lewiton believes, according
to her foreword, that American women are inter-
ested in everything in the world therefore her first
issue includes wide range of subjects.
This is a pleasant departure from the assumption,
mime readers, that we are ,cterested only in men,
children and fashions.
It is true that these are our main concern, but
they arsb no means our osly ones.
There is however, steady improvement in the
material to be found in the popular home magazines.
Even the most romantic of them including nova
days an occasional article about Outside" subjects
Most of them discuss editorialy the problems which
affect women-and what problems do not, may I
ask?
Their fiction nevertheless maintains the same
steady saccharine favor. With realism invading the
very Offices and social disruption knocking at their
DOORS the stories they print generally about
gamorous working girls who marry multinillionaires,
or about women who get divorces and find themselves
besieged by eligible bachelors who want to make
honest wives of them again, or about the super
super gals who climb to the top Of profession in
their twenties and then give up all to marry the
hero after which they live happily forever by twid-
ding their thumbs
No wider gap could exist than that which sep
arates truth from fiction it is found in women's
magazines The latter is as Victorian as hustle,
and in its essence as remote from reality as an opium
dream.
Perhaps it helps women to forget, but it can't
help them to live because It deals so often with i'm
possible situations and impossible people

KEEPING OUT OF WAR

INTERNATIONAL trade is one of the major obsta-
- Giles in the path of comprehensive neutrality
policy. That was obvious during the fight at the
last session of Congress to frame such policy. It
cropped up again at the present session and was
largely influential in defeating broad program de-
signed to keep the United States out of war;
The Importance of trade in this respect is now
confirmed in one of the most ambitious studies of
neutrality ever made The history of efforts to write
a code of international law that would include
vital and effective respect for neutrality is presented
in four roumes by the Columbia University Council
for Research in the Social Sciences 1t is published
by Columbia Press.
1t begins with the origins of the neutrality idea.
goes into the Napoleonic period, takes up the
problem during the World War, and in the final
volume by Philip & -eSsup professor of inter-
national law at coTgnaea University discusses the
current problem and the future
Prof. Jessup says The trouble with neutrality
is that it has been based on the idea of
protecting neutral trade with belligerents without
interfering with belligerent operations with fault

FROM THE RECORD

CENATOR COPELAND Cd, N. W: I think if there
~ ever were in the world lot of dumb Doras"-
whatever that term means; it sounds good to me
anyway-they are the men engaged in American
shipping
Senator Norris (F, Neb): If they are such ig-
nolamuses does not the Senator think it is mistake
to appropriate public money and let them have it?
Senator Clark Cd. MOI: wonder if the Senator
has suspected that the steamship people might not
be quite so dumb they appear the surface to
be? have been informed by creditabe people that
the representatives of the Steamship Association who
appeared before committee yesterday and pro-
tested against the bill of the Senator from New York
had appealed to them to support the bill. I
wondering if there is wisdom in their idea of
heving the Senator's bill from the odium of their
support?
CENATOR HOLT Cd, W. Va: do not know

WHAT PRICE RUIN?

XXTE are indebted to Public Utilities Fortnightly
W for the following informative paragraphs.
They need no comment.
while utility stocks have not recovered the po-
sition they enjoyed market leaders in 1929, it is
interesting to note that they have now reached a
parity with industrial issues. Standard Statistics
compilation of price-earnings ratios for 242 in
dustral 80 utility and 10 rail stocks showed that all
three groups were selling at between II and 10
times earnings"
And
1.-THE reports of 10 electric and gas holding COM
pany systems for 1885 reflect average gain in
gross revenues of about per cent, about the same
percentage gain in net earnings after operating
charges and taxes, and 1919 per cent in net income
after fixed charges"

W atch Your Health

TN general, the diet in gallbladder
4 disease is low in fat, in choles-
terol. 1t involves the omission of al
cohol, bacon, candy, oils, fried foods,
tat meats, thick gravies, hot breads,
and similar substances.
Buttermilk may be taken in place
of milk, to cut down the cream.
1t is not advisable for any one to
try to work out his own diet for any
OF the conditions affecting the gall
bladder. When a physician studies
such case, he makes X-ray exami-
nations to determine the ability OF
the gallbladder to empty itself. He
also tries to see whether gallstones
are present, and whether the
stomach and the intestines move nor
mally, since any difficulties here will
be reflected in the gallbladder.
After such studies are made
suitable treatments may be ap-
piled to aid enptying of the gall
bladder or activity of the bowel
Moreover. the diet may then be
prescribed according to whether the
patient needs more calories, OF
less Galleries, and more fat or les:
fat.
These are the chief points to be
watched in working out a scientific
diet for such cases.

BY DIR. MORRIS FrsHBErN

IF you are woman, and happen
L to be "fair, fat, and forty" look
out! Those words describe the per-
son who is most likely to suffer from
gallbladder disease.
The way to prevent the condition
is to cut down on fats and sugars.
In fact, the eating of any foods has
much to do with the emptying and
filling of the gallbladder, because
many foods have an irritant effect.
Because of the relationship be-
tween the stomach and the gall
bladder, the stomach should not be
overloaded. Water and other liquids
may be taken between meals, rather
than at mealtime, and the heaviest
meal might best be taken at noon.
Any one suffering from gall
bladder trouble should limit the
amount of butter in his food, and
should also cut down on oils,
whether they be taken direct or in
the form Of mayonnaise or salad
dressings.
He should be careful when cut
ting down the total amount of fats,
to be certain that he does not de-
velop a vitamin A deficiency. Vita
min A is fat-soluble, and must be
obtained from fatty foods, unless
given in other forms.

between the state and county dis
trict boards. The amount of old
age pensions to be paid under the
bill will be determined by the various
county and district boards, but I'M
der no conditions are they to ex-
coed $50.
The minimum age of persons to
become eligible is set at 10 years I'M
til July l, 1888, when IS will be-
come the eligible age. The FEEDER
al government bears so per cent, the
state 30 per cent and the county 20
per cent of the cost. Under the pre-
vious pension law the state and
county shared equal portions of the
cost. Thus, if a pensioner received
Sc per month the state and county
each paid So.
If, under the new setup, a pen
sioner was granted $12 per month,
the Federal government would sup
ply $6, the state $3.50 and the coun-
ty $2.40. If the pensioner received
SIS, the Federal government would
provide $3.50, the state $3.50 and the
county SO. The countys portion
would remain the same as now paid
on a S. pension.
1t can be seen that the state and
county funds will not be greatly de-
pleted by increased expenses. There
should be a corresponding decrease
in state and county demand for di-
rect aid to the aged and handi-
capped.

TODAY'S SCIENCE
by DAVID DIETZ

MANY who think of the name of
IVA Cotton Mather only in con-
nection, with the Salem witchcraft
prosecutions, will be surprised TO
hear that Mather deserves the title
of the father Of popular science ir.
the English language. A curious
little volume in the collections of the
Smithsonian Institution, shows that
he was the author of what prob.
ably was the first volume of popular
science published in England.
The book is entitled. THE Chris
tan Philosopher: A Collection of
the Best Discoveries in Nature, with
Religious improvements. BY Cotton
Mather, D. D., and Fellow of the
Royal Society,"" It was printed in
1T2l. 1t is as popular a compendium
of astronomy, physics, geology, ZOO
logy, physiology, anatomy and psy-
chology as existed in his day.
While the modern reader, looking
over the old book, is most likely to
be halted by what are amusing mis-
takes in the light of modern knowl-
edge, the Smithsonian authorities
who have read the book carefully
say that Mather was right more
often than he was wrong.
In this connection it is perhaps
well to point out that Mather has
suffered unfairly in the matter of
reputation. Historians now agree
that it car not be shown that he in
spired the witchcraft trials. 1t is
known that he had an interest in
witchcraft and investigated num-
Der Of alleged cases. But it is also a
fact that he warned the judges Of
their conduct in the Salem trials
and that he was convinced that
some of the victims were unjustly
sentenced.

SANDALS

Sandals-they were worn of Old

They were skillfully turned and

And fastened with a latchet.
They were worn in Attica-
And their fashion fingers yet
Evening wears them, silvery gray
Shading into violet.

SEEKS GUESSING GAME
AS SAFETY VALVE

By E. H.F.
So Europe has returned to its
favorite guessing game-the mari
tai prospects of the former Prince
OF Wales. Time was when his
name was linked at various inter-
walls with those of glamorous wom-
en- in a dozen countries. But the
Prince found none to his liking
apparently, and eventually the fer
yor of the guessing died down.
Now his majesty, in a message
asking the Commons to restore the
civil list, providing for royal house
hold and personal expenses, men
t1ons the contingency" of mar
rage, and the world can start
guessing all over again.
Whom will he maryland when?
Will she be of royal blood or a
commoner? The British are lost
for the moment in this favorite re-
Election.
Here is a pretty good safety valve
for national sentiment. Certainly
the tradition of royalty has buoyed
the British through more than one
crisis. And if gossip about the King
can do its part now-then may the
BRUSH make the most of it!

INDIANA'S MINES ARE
SEALED. TOO.
BY ]. P. Kerr
I read with great interest your
editorial entitled Pollution" in The
Times on Thursday, March IL. I
can not refrain from inquiring why
some mention was not made of the
mine-sealing work now being done
in Indiana by WPA, and sponsored
by the Department of Conservation
and the Division of Public Health.
1ndiana's coal field is smaller
than the fields in the states men
toned in your editorial, but the
same condition regarding pollution
exists, and the same steps which
are being taken in the other states
also are being carried on in Indiana.
If you should desire further in
formation on the work in Indiana,
Marc Waggoner of the Department
of Conservation, or Dr. Harvey of
the Division of Public Health, can
supply it.
