Liberal View
BY DR.. Harry Elmer Barne.

"|E are on the eve of the season
of maximum ocean travel. 1t
is desirable that we safeguard our
selves, as we'll as possible, against
the recurrence of any such disasters
as those of the Moro Castle, the
Mohawk, and the like. Hence. we
may welcome as very timely and
pertinent the report on the present
state of affairs just turned in by the
National Committee on Safety at
Sea, which is headed up by Walter
Parker and Howard S. Cullman.
The committee makes it clear that
there has been little enlightened
cooperation on the part of ship
owners in lettering conditions
They have opposed in many cases
even legislation of we'll demon
strated merit. They have discour-
aged the mere discussion of safety,
for fear that it would act as a de-
terrent to travel. In some quarters
there has even been an effort ito
suppress all discussions of sea safety
whenever possible"
In particular. private interests
have been generally opposed to any
campaign of public education to
promote safety at sea, either in the
way of better public regulations or
of more adequate instruction of pas
sengers in the use of safety devices
on boats. The committee points out
that this is an extremely short
sighted policy
The committee particularly criti-
cizes the penny wise and pound
foolish" attitude of the government
in its failure to provide proper ap-
preparations for the Bureau of Navi-
CATION and Steamboat Inspection.

vulnerability-especially to air at
tack. With due and understandable
sympathy for such enthusiasts. their
stuff is wrong. The whole picture
has changed We are no longer
vulnerable. There is no great power
that could invade continental Unit
ed States.
The world War taught us how to
mobilize both our man-power and
our industry. We can do it faster
than anybody. It taught us eco
nomic strategy. 1t proved that we
must have reserves of trained off,
GERS and me terial. 1t convinced us
that we must keep up our air force
and our Navy-to guard against a
paralyZing surprise attack.
Under present General Staff mo-
bilizing plans, after six months no
combination of powers could invade
us. The whole danger lies in those
six months. We are well enough
protected on sea and in the air to
reduce that hazard to almost moth
ing.
Moreover, if we maintain our
present status, there is little danger
to us of any war. We couldn't sue
cessfully start one overseas for the
same reasons that nobody could in
wade U.S. But none of this is true
unless we maintain that status. In
the postwar distress of all nations,
ours is the richest galleon that ever
sailed the Economic Sea. To leave
it vulnerable to swift piratjcal raid
of hungry neighbor is too great a
temptation.
In our international relations, we
must love everybody. We must re-
spect the high purpose and Chris
tan ideals of everybody. But we
must not go to sleep with our
thumb in the mouth of anybody.

TODAY'S SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETZ

WoRLD power today is mineral
w power. This is the new factor
in international affairs, injected
into the world picture by the growth
of Twentieth Century science, chem
istry and engineering.
1t took the first World War to
bring the fact home to the nations
of the world. Today it is the domi-
mating thought in the minds of wise
statesmen and diplomats. Mineral
power, not man power, will decide
the next war.
The future of the world is bound
up in mineral resources. The ma
tions with the minerals rule the
earth. Those that have iron, coal,
copper, nickel, potash, sulphur and
oil, may face the future with con-
idence and assurance. Those that
do not have them are doomed to
second place in world affairs.
Rulers, thinking of the future
greatness Of their countries, are
thinking in terms of minerals. Who
shall own and control the worlds
minerals is the big question before
the world today. That question is
shaping world politics today. 1t will
be the real basis of the next World
War. When men fight, they will be
fighting for minerals.
We say that this is the Age Of
Steel, the Age of Electricity, ths
Age of Chemistry, the Age of
aluminium. the Age of the Airplane,
and so and so on. All these names
can be collected into one-the Age
of Minerals.

Your Health
BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

A BABY usually is given his
L a first feeding about IL hours
after he is born. During the next
"a hours, he may be fed every
six hours. After the third day, the
baby may be fed from both breasts
every four hours.
Doctors, however, differ widely
regarding the technique of nurs-
ing. Some suggest that the baby
nurse from each breast every three
hours, others that the baby nurse
from each breast every four hours
and still others suggest that the
baby be fed alternately at each
feeding from one breast or the
other.
II baby on a four-hour schedule
cries because he is hungry at the
end of two and half or three
hours, he may not be getting enough
milk, or his stomach may be getting
rid of the food too quickly.
1t may be necessary, in this case,
to change from four-hour to a
three-hour schedule.
Very rarely is it necessary to
nurse a baby more frequently than
every three hours.
A MONG the reasons which have
4 n been cited in favor of the four
hour nursing interval are the fol-
lowing:
l. The baby is hungry at the end
of four hours.
2. The baby will nurse more Wig
orously and empty the breasts more
completely at the end of four hours.
This helps to stimulate milk pro-
duction.
3. The stomach and the intestines
have a chance for suitable rest
period.
4. The baby will take more food
at each feeding and sleep longer
after each feeding.
5. The baby fed every four hours
is likely to vomit less often than
baby fed at two or three-hour in
tervalS.
6. When the baby is fed at four
hour intervals, the mother has a
chance to rest and does not have to
spend all her time with the child
TN the course of two or three
weeks, a healthy baby usually
viii be trained to nurse and sleep
with almost perfect regularity. If
baby can not be placed on a
four-hour schedule in three months
he requires some supplementary
feeding.
Value of long interval between
nursing periods means relief for
the mother from nursing the baby
at night. 1t also will help her
her health, and permit
her to nurse the baby to better
Whenever possible, the baby
should not sleep with the mother.
If the baby is in the same bed
with the mother, and if he cries
at night, the mother has tendency
to nurse the child to keep him quiet.
OF course, mother with a tiny
baby has no business taking the
infant to a motion picture theater,
or to other places of public as
semblage. Under these circum-
stances, there is tendency to per-
init the baby to nurse constantly,
to keep him quiet.

YOUTH DEMANDS CHANCE
TO REALIZE DREAMS
By James Brown

By James Brown
If the handiwork which is known
as youth be covered with patches of
decayed dreams then it is because
the older people will not step aside
and permit youth to advance.
Too many times the younger
generation has been blamed for ir-
responsibility, pettiness, idleness and
many other apparent faults. Older
folks eye the younger ones with
scorn. Loose-lipped whispering is
prevalent because youth expresses
freedom, happiness, beauty and
reality. I do not mean to uphold
brutality or crime in actual incom-
petence. but I do believe that there
are some young people possessed of

there is the testimony of the Noble
family that Mrs. Stowe took notes
while visiting. Which is probably
true.
What isn't true, perhaps, is the
fantastic report published at the
time of Uncle Toms death that Mrs.
Stowe wrote her book in his cabin.
This column knows better.
nN the other hand, there is the
~ coincidence that Uncle Toms
home was always referred to around
here as "Uncle Toms cabin" Mr.
Beecher, for instance, never said he
was going to see Uncle Tom.
1t was always ito Uncle Toms

pose that he didn't change his hab-
its just because his sister came to
see him, although some brothers
have been known to do this.
Finally, there is the fourth chap
ter of Mrs. Stoves book. In that
chapter Toms family is described
as consisting of two boys, Nose and
Pete, and a baby girl. Uncle Tom
Magruder, to be sure, had but two
children, Moses and his younger
sister, Louisa-but wait.
There was third member in the
Magruder family, boy about the
age of Moses, and never fully ac-
counted for, who, so help us, went
by the name of Pete. You can't

lieve in condolences or not.

instalment of Uncle Toms Cabin"

OF the time. Legend has it that he
was ITO years old when he died. and
maybe it's so, because he was an
old man when he came to Indian
apolis.
He came in 1881 and it is known
that he was a slave of DR.. Noble in
Virginia prior to 1894. Gov. Noble.
son of DR.. Noble, brought Tom
and his wife, Sarah, and built the
cabin for him.
For a number of years after Uncle
TOMS death, Moses and Louisa lived
in a cabin fronting on Wabash
st just back of the present Keith's
Theater. Louisa had been married
and had a daughter, Martha, but
nobody called her that. She
