A. H. Eleazar, member of the
rural police force of Richland,
South Carolina, expressed himself
as delighted with this city while
discussing his visit with The Citi-
zen. He came to receive John
Walker, who had been arrested
several days ago on the request of
Carolina authorities. He said he
was glad he had been sent as it
afforded him an opportunity of
seeing this delightful city.

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT

A PRIL 90 is the date set for the national conven-
4 N ton of the Young Womens Christian Associa-
ton, in Colorado Springs
momentous question is up for discussion. Shall
the organization build its future program to help
youth meet its problems, or shall it make young
people themselves central part of all its decisions
and policies?
There is, as you can see, great difference be-
tween the two points That difference today Is
sharply distinct in every phase of modern life 1t
is the great barrier which separates children from
their parents employers from workers. and all those
who are beginning to live from the mature.
Let us help youth, we older say to one
another. But we can never do that. We only
teach them to help themselves Never yet has
the man of so been able to eye to eye with the
lad of 90 no 4oyear-old visualizes the world
as it looks to the girl in her 'teens.
For the old are burdened With their traditions
prejudices and fears In large measure their dar-
ing has gone; looking so often upon stark reality
has dimmed their imagination. They are cautious
hesitant, filled with a profound timidty, and be-
cause of that they cling to ancient ways.
Through the frightening wilderness of existence
they seek roads that have already been cut out by
those who ventured before them when such roads
were new. In short, always perfectly
sure they are wiser than their daughters; and men
feel certain of their sagacity. In many instances
they may be right. Only let us not be over-con-
hdent.
There will be battle royal at the Colorado
Springs convention-the same battle that always
RACES in an organization which includes individuals
of all ages when it discusses policies the same strife
that goes on perpetualy between youth filled with
dreams and maturity weighted with traditions. If
age wins in Colorado it will spell long period of
fallowness for great association; should youth
triumph, it viii mean tremendous progress, great
growth.
We must learn to let the young lead the way
into future which will belong to them since we
shall never see it. Life is before them they ought
not to fear it.

DENIES MOVEMENT FOR
THIRD PARTY

BY Victoria Hardie. Secretary Provisional
Joint Committee for Genuine Social
Security Legislation.
In an article headlined Farmer
Labor Group to Meet" The Times
intimates that the purpose, in part,
of the Social Security conference to
be held at the Y. w. G. A. on April
26, is for the promotion or indorse-
ment of the Farmer Labor Party
movement.
This is entirely erroneous, giving
the whole complexion and purpose
of the conference different char
acter from that which its irldorsers
and participants intend.
The conference has been called
solely for the purpose of examining
and Analysing existing social secur-
ity legislation in order to determine
on their adequacy for the needs of
organized labor, the unemployed
the old people and professional
groups. Where necessary, amend
ments to such existing legislation
will be proposed.
At the conference, and among its
prominent indorsers are well-known
supporters of such varied legislation
as the Frazier Lundeen bill, the
McGroarty (TownsendD bill, the
American Youth Act, as we'll as adj

w atch Your Health

NUTS in general are rich
4 ' source of phosphorus and a
good source of iron, copper and
manganese. They are a poor or
fair source of calcium. Nuts also
are especially valuable for their
content of vitamins B and A.
Vegetarians are likely to encour-
age the use of nuts in the diet as
a substitute for meat. From the
point of view of economy, they
may be particularly recommended.
The ease of digestibility of nuts
depends on the thoroughness with
which they are chewed and, of
course, on the amount that is eaten
at one time. This is contrary to
the common opinion that nuts are
hard to digest. This belief arose
from the fact that nuts have high
fat content, but, more particularly
because they are incorrectly used in
the diet.
Half an ounce of any of the COM
mon nuts will yield 100 calories
This means two Brazil nuts, a half
dozen pecans, or a dozen peanuts
The only notable exception to this
concentration of energy value is
the chestnut, which is about one
third as concentrated as the others.
The freshness of nuts at the time
of eating is important. The most
suitable way for preparing nuts for
use in the diet is to brown them
and then add salt.

BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

NUTS are so highly concentrated
IN q food, and so rich in protein
and fat, that they should be eaten
as a regular part of meal, and
not to any great extent at the end
of a. meal, which already has been
sufficient in both proteins and fats.
Neither should nuts be eaten in
large quantities between courses,
or to add interest to an afternoon
tea party.
Nuts are valuable in the diet
primarily for the same food values
that you find in meats. ChesJnuts
are starchy. Coconuts, pecans and
walnuts are rich in fat; almonds,
Brazil nuts, butternuts and pea
nuts are rich in both protein and
fat.
The protein Of nuts contains
much the same amino acids as are
found in meats. The proteins OF
Brazil nuts are shown to be ample
for the requirements of the normal
human body. Peanut protein has
been reported to be more efficient
than that of the soybean, in sup
port of body growth.
Investigators tested peanut flour
with the protein of muscle meat
supplementing the diet with but
terfat and salts, and found that
peanut flour proved slightly supe-
rior to meat as a growth producer
and much superior for promoting
reproduction.

The measure as passed by the House authorizes
40 millions in loans at interest rates of not less
than per cent to persons, corporations co-opera-
tives and public bodies for developing plants and
transmission lines to supply farm homes with cleo
triciy AS passed by the Senate the bill carried 10
millions more.
This Dill is small compared with Senator Norris
original billion-dollar loan fund proposal It is
also small compared with the extent of the social
frontier against which it would move There are
said to be 100000 farms in the United States
100000 of which are not receiving central station
facilities. The House program aims to alectrify
100000 farm homes.
Like the Wagner housing program, this one is

period with only 20 millions of RFC money made

DRY of the late Hubert s. Riley, former

1.-THE passing of Hubert S. Riley
is a personal loss to us, his intimate
associates, of which adequate ex-
preston in words can not be made
His lovable character, his personal
charm, his devotion to duty en-
deared him to us; his honesty and
purpose and concern for the best
interests of the city he loved and
served so well were an inspiration
to us.
'The many citizens of Indianap-
oils, both in and out of official life,
who have known him and his pub
lie record as an officer of the local
government have paid their trib-
ute to his qualities of leadership and
will honor his memory. We can add
nothing to the honor of this splen-
did citizen except to record COM
petently our admiration and affec-
ton for him. To his family we
offer our deepest sympathy as we
above others know what a loss and
sorrow have come to them"

TODAY'S SCIENCE
by DAVID DIETZ
TINE present tendency of eminent

TINE present tendency of eminent
+. Il scientists to express their reli-
gious views, has drawn criticism
from those who do not agree. Chief
among those critics has been the
equally eminent philosopher, Ber-
trand Russell
During the last few days I have
presented the foundations upon
which scientists turn to religion and
in so doing have illustrated the
point which Lord Russell criticises
most violently.
In my first article I pointed out
that many astronomers, viewing the
universe, are impressed by it's order
ly functioning and so led to feel
profoundly that there must be
intelligent design behind it and
hence that it must be the work of
Creator.
In the second article I pointed
out that the Heisenberg principle
of uncertainty, which frees the be-
havior of the atom from the law
of cause and effect, is the thing
which leads physicists away from a
mechanistic view of the universe,
enables them to regain a belief in
free will, and hence 10 postulate the
existence OF mind independent of
physical matter.
The first view is an appeal to
orderliness. The second is just the
opposite. AS Bertrand Russell ex-
presses it in his book, 1.-THE Scienti-
fic Outlook:
"Eddington deduces religion from
the fact that atoms do not obey the
law of mathematics. Jeans deduces
it from the fact that they do. Both
these arguments have been accepted
with equal enthusiasm by the theo-
logians, who hold, apparently, that
the demand for consistency belongs
to the cold reason and must not in
terfere with our deeper religious
feelings"
When all is said and done, 1t
comes down at the present time to
a matter of belief. AS DR.. Arthur
H. Compton frankly stated in his
Easter pronouncement, he has no
scientific proof for his belief in i'm
mortality. He prefers to believe in
immortality because he feels that
way about the subject.
The significant thing, however, is
that, whereas at the end of the
nineteenth century it was popular
in scientific circles to discount inn
mortality, many scientists today
prefer to believe in it.
