A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

MYTH the wildfre of the Townsend Pension
" Plan licking at the country's grassroots the
battle between youth and age is emphasized 1t is
battle which has been raging, off and on, since
time began.
This may not be omnous but it is certainly an
unhappy condition, and its cause goes directly back
to bad domestic environment and evil social stand
ards. Hence the old can scarcely be excused from
blame in the matter.
For good many years. opponents of new lib
eralism have advocated the rebellion of youth Thou
sands of books were written arguing that children
need feel responsibility for the welfare or hap
pness of parents. There has been steady stream
of propaganda designed to incite the young scorn
their elders.
The lapper age, called it, and with its dawn
good manners in juvenile circles disappeared Only
one result was possible Where you have no man
you have no consideration for the feelings of
others. There grew up a raucous, ruthless genera
alton crying for the cutting of all apron-strings
Mothers were told to keep their noses out of their
chiidrens business. 1t barbarisn grow
ing out of the dark age of parental tyranny. In
trying to overcome ancient evils and strike some
kind of balance, America usual rushed to the
opposite extreme.
Youth took flier, and now it looks as if it might
take flop Statistcians tell us old people are al
ready numerically stronger. If comes again,
their ranks will be further increased for in wars it
is the young who perish.
Wholesale Bohemanisnl, with its consequent
destruction of the old-fashioned home. may have
more dreadful consequences than we think. With
out some such center as the home, where all ages
learn tolerance and understanding Of the other there
will escape from that which makes life bearable
Neither youth nor age can dominate the world;
they must work together.

OTHER OPINION
Literature to Join Dedo
ICrawfordsville Journal and Review

Booth Harrington, who is en-
titled to have ideas about literature,
believes that both the novel and
the poem will become extinct in a
century or so.
Literature, he tells an interviewer
in indianapolis, is being muscled in
on by radio, and the talkies; people
are going to read less and less, and
the creative artist of the future is
apt to write scenarios instead Of
books.
This is an interesting forecast,
and it is a reminder that what We
look on as natural art forms are
really of comparatively recent
growth.
The stage itself was a mere in
FAINT in Shakespeare's time; the
novel is of even more recent growth.
There have always been poems,
Of course, since the days Of David
and Homer; but their form and their
manner of presentation have
changed, and further changes are
not at Al impossible.

appealed to the Federal courts The courts includ-
ing the Supreme Court, sustained the company.
In the interests Of state regulation the Johnson
act was adopted several years ago. attempting to
end the power of Federal courts to set aside state
rate rulings. But this law like many one before
it, proves to have loopholes.
The people of Oklahoma, as they continue to
pay gas bills their state officials say unreason-
able, will hardly believe that state regulation is all
the protection they need. In many other states
consumers have similar evidence to ponder.

New Deal economic controls are but
child'S play until this cause of our
unemployment and underconsump-
ton is removed
We can set the rate of national
income at any figure we desire for
the United States, by fixing the
amount of money in circulation
through a Federal monetary COM
mission. Our banks would act as
warehouses for this money, storing
it for customers, making a service
charge for handling of these money
credits as a WarehouSeman does for
storing and handling goods, but no
longer acting as minis in the Gre
alton OF CHECK book money" and
the destruction of this most impor-
tant currency through the calling
of loans.
We now operate our economic
system with synthetic money" not
with real money which is only
trivial in amount. There is no
mysterious force defeating our eff
forts to exchange goods and
services. We simply do not have
the money or any substitute in cir
culation and that is the real story.
If we do not remedy this condition
our present civilization may COL
lapse. We must act and very soon.

Your

EIRST of the vitamins is termed
Il vitamin A. Follow a fairly good
diet, and there's no reason why you
should suffer from lack of this ele-
| ment. Eat food that has no vita
min A and you may become subject
to the condition called night blind
ness.
Night blindness results from
changes that take place in the eye.
which suffers loss of a substance
called visual purple.
Vitanlin A is found in large
amounts in animal fats, butter, egg
yolk, cod liver and halibut liver oil.
1t has been noticed in green leaves.
in alfalfa, cabbage, spinach and
young clover.
The greener the leaves, the bet
ter they are as a source of vitamin
A. Leaf lettuce is better than head
lettuce, and spinach and carrot tops
also are excellent sources Of vita
min A.
Halibut liver oil is the natural
substance with the highest concen-
trate of vitamin a. It is 60 times
stronger than cod liver oil in its
content of this vitamin.
A NIMALS get their vitamin A
L n from plants or from other ami
mails. The COW eats grass, and the
milk Of the COW contains vitamin
A. Milk and butter made in sum-
mer are richer in vitamin A than
milk and butter made in winter. In
summer the COW has richer diet Of
green grass.
In Newfoundland and Labrador,
where people live largely on white
bread, dried peas, and salt meat,
night blindness is exceedingly COM
mon. As the deficiency becomes
greater, there develops an actual
degeneration of the eye, called
xerophthalmia.
The same condition has been seen
among coolies in India, China and
Japan; in Russia, among the peas
ants, who undergo long periods OF
fasting: and in Brazil among Ne
gro workers restricted in their diets
to beans, pork fat and cornmeal.
In the United States investiga-
lions have shown that there is some
degree of night blindness among a
considerable percentage of children
who do not receive adequate
amounts of vitamin A in their diet.
The figures show around Is per
cent in rural areas and as much as
SO per cent in some large cities.

SATURDAY. JANUARY II. 1886.
PENDLETON'S LOSS
a scRIPPs-HOwARp NEWSPAPER,

TINE sympathy of the whole state goes out to the
town of Pendleton, which has suffered what would
be major disaster in any community. For Pendle-
ton the explosion means just what explosion in the
City Hall of Indianapolis would mean.
The ascribed cause is unique. If it is true that
it was the accidental lighting of gas it should
have the attention of fire authorities throughout
Indiana
The Times hopes that the town, either through its
own by Federal aid will be able to re-
place its center of civic activities at once.

LIBRARY MARRIAGE BAN
UNFAIR, SAYS PATRON
BY a Library Patron

By Library Patron
wish to comment on the I'M
fairness and stupidity of ''mar-
riage ban" enforced against our city
librarians.
No doubt this rule does not ap-
ply to library employees of the male
sex. Why there should be such
discrimination according to sex
fail to understand.
1t is my opinion that this policy
is economically unsound, as it re-
quires considerable training and ex-
perience to produce a gooo hbrar-
ian, which is lost to society in case
of marriage.
I agree with other writer's to The
Times that librarians should have
a right to a normal life.

TODAY'S SCIENCE
by SCIENCE SERVICE

TINE beginning of 1886 sees man.
Il kind little closer to the reali-
zation of the ancient dream of util-
ling the suns energy as a source
of power.
The amount of energy received
each second upon each square yard
Of the earthS surface exposed to
the direct rays of the sun is calcu-
lated to be about one and a half
horsepower.
Inventors always have dreamed of
Harvesting the suns rays to some
sort of engine.
There are three approaches to
the problem. One is mechanical.
This depends upon some sort of ar
rangement which will concentrate
the suns rays into small area,
utilizing the concentrated heat.
The second approach is chemical.
By learning how plants utilize sun
light to turn the carbon dioXide of
the air and the water of the soil
into sugars and starches, man may
some day duplicate the process.
The third approach is electrical.
1t is hoped to devise some means
Of turning sunlight into electricity.
TINE outstanding progress in the
l. first class is the solar engine
designed by DR.. G. G.. Abbot, Sec
rotary of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton.
This employs a parabolic cylin-
drical mirror made of sheet alum
mum, about two feet wide and six
feet long. The curvature is such
that it brings the suns rays to a
focus along a line no wider than a
lead pencil. At this focus is placed
pyrex glass tube within which is
a second glass tube.
Air is extracted from the first
tube. The inner tube contains
black liquid called "arocler," which
boils at 662 degree Fahrenheit. This
liquid absorbs the heat of the sun.
The vacuum keeps it from escaping.
The liquid is kept in motion, thus
carrying its heat to a steam boiler,
a heating coil, or other piece of ap-
paratuS. Experiments indicate that
the device has a IS per cent eff
cheney for the production of steam.
The second method, artificial pho
tosynthesis. still is long ways off.
Some progress was made in the
third method during 1885.

URGES CONTROLLED INFLA-
TON FOR BETTER TIMES

BY IL. L. Seeger
Your editorial on the Supreme
Courts decision on the Agricultural
Adjustment Act, stating that the
farm problem is not essentially a
political problem, is correct.
The real cause of our economic
crisis is the failure of our govern
ment to provide an adequate me-
dunn of exchange, to permit the
transfer of goods and services from
the producer to the consumer. Ask
anybody why they do not buy the
things they want and so badly
need, and the answer is always the
same, 81 do not have the money"
Our commercial banks are the
minis of our commercial currency,
that is, CHECK book money. They
create and destroy this check book
deposit money at will, without any
control exercised by the govern
ment as to when this check book
money shall be increased or di-
minished. Every bank loan is an
imitation of the currency, and every
call for payment of these loans is a
def1ation of the currency. Our banks
have power to create 10 times the
amount of CHECK book money" as
they have in real money.
The reason we are not re-employ-
ing the people on relief in private
industry, and have underconsump-
ton Of farm products and manufac-
turers goods, is that our commercial
minis are not increasing the check
book deposit loan" currency. We
are going around Robin Hoods
barn, looking for causes and cures
for our failure to operate our high
ly efficient economic system, when
the remedy is simple.
When our commercial bank de-
posits were 81 billion in 1929, our
national income was 81 billion, 8
times the bank deposits, in 1892
bank loan CHECK deposits" dropped
to Is billion, and our national in
come to 48 billion, the same ratio
of to /.
If the government refuses to face
this basic fact, we shall sink deeper
in the morasS of our own creation.
Our most dangerous imitation is that
of "check book money" 1t is totally
irresponsible minting. So is the
calling of loans an irresponsible
contraction Of the currency. All the
