union forays costly tie-ups and stoppage of trade.
The 1884 dockmen's strike on the Pacific Coast,
clmaxed by the disastrous San Francisco general
strike, was synptomatic. Now for various reasons,
storm signals have been hoisted again at West
Coast Gulf and Atlantic ports
Lacking a permanent mediation board of ex-
perts the government has been forced to meet these
periodic outbreaks by hurriedy dspatching investi
gators and setting up temporary peace .nechanisms
Because these expedients have been applied after
the break has occurred they have worked under the
handicaps peacemaker always meets when he tries
to get two angry beligerents to shake and make up
Both workers and ship-owners, believe, would
welcome more orderly system. Union leaders and
ship-owners united in urging the proposed shipping
code under NRA, code that would have created
National Shipping Labor Board with regional Offices
for hearing disputes The seamen's leaders have
been asking Congress to set up National Maritime
Board, similar to those that have operated in Eng
land and japan for years. The government-vitally
interested because of heavy subsidies the shipping
industry and because it depends on ships to carry
mail-can not afford to sit by as a disinterested
spectator.
Contrasting with this chaos is the order that has
come to the railroads In 1926 the Rail- Labor Act
set up the National Mediation Board to hear and
adjust disputes between rail labor and rail manage
ment. 1t is significant that not one major rail strike
has occurred since.
Why should there be peace along the railways
and guerrilla war along the seaways?

COMES TO DEFENSE OF
NATIONAL GUARD

BY Lieut.. G. A. Roesinger
An article appeared in the Forum
lately, offered by A. Martin of
Greenfield, in which he made some
remarks concerning the establish
ment of martial law in strike areas.
A few of Mr.. Martins ideas seem
rather distorted in my opinion.
He refers to the National Guard
as an organization of tin soldiers. I
am sure he really doesn't mean
these unkind words. On the con-
trary, am inclined to believe that
Mr.. Martin secretly is convinced of
their efficiency, otherwise he would
not be so chagrined.
Labor unions think Gov. McNutt is
nasty man" for sending troops
into strike areas. Evidently they
disregard or do not know that he
does so at the request of local au-
thorities who are unable to cope
with the situation. Such action is
forced upon the Governor only as a
last resort to establish law and order
and protect lives and property.
MIR. Martin further states that no
sons of his could join the National
Guard and live under his roof. May
I proceed, as an officer of the Guard,
to defend this well-trained and
most essential division of the United
States Army. My commanding Of
flcer and constantly hear express
sions of appreciation from parents

BOOKKEEPING

WE had occasion the other day to glance again
v at the American Liberty Leagues 1885 inan-
cal statement. and noted, without surprise that the
league got most of its money in big chunks and
from persons of wealth.
But were perplexed to note in the receipts
column preponderance of loans, as contrasted to
outright contributions.
Our first thought The league, like the Roose-
welt Administration is operating borrowed money
Second thought The league has as the New
Deal likewise seems to have-a good credit.
And then third and horrid thought: Under the
Federal income tax law contribution for political
purposes is not deductible from taxable income but
a loan which is never repaid becomes bad debt
and is deouctible.

WHETHER your child eats
w luncheon at school or at
home, be sure to take utmost pains
with the food that is given him. At
school o, in kindergarten children
usually eat better than they do at
home, since in school they have the
example of other children who lave
learned how to eat correctly. More
over. at home the child can get away
with tantrums or tears, whereas. in
the school there seldom is any
coaxing, threatening, or encourage
ment of emotional outburstS.
Many authorities urge that the
heaviest meal for the child should
be at noon.
The main dish should be one
which will provide adequate protein.
1t may be an egg souffle, creamed
eggs, meat ball, or some similar pro-
tein food. There should be one fresh
green leafy vegetable, which may be
used in sandwich on whole wheat
bread or in salad; likewise, one
cooked vegetable.
Milk should be the beverage.
modified occasionally by cocoa
Finally, there should be fruit or
some other dessert usually favored
with fruit.
A meal worked out in this man.
ner will provide proteins, carbo-
hydrates, fats, mineral salts, and
vitamins; and particularly calcium,
phosphorus, and iron.
u
THERE now are available numer-
Il Gus booklets, including those
issued by the Children's Bureau in
the Department of Labor and by
the Department of Agriculture i'll
Washington, which give detailed
outlines of menus suitable for the
growing child.
Here are some valuable sug-
gestions:
When lunch must be carried to
school, a thermos bottle will keep
at least one food warm. The hot
dish may be cocoa, milk soup, vege-
table stew, stewed lima beans, or
some other easily prepared, nourisn-
ing dish.
Here are some typical simple
lunches which children may carry
to school:
Cocoa (made of milk, one-half
to one pint; peanut butter sand
wiches, ripe banana, cookies.
2-Vegetable stew, small amount Of
meat, potato, carrots, onions,
etc.; bread and butter, milk, red
apple, graham crackers.
3-Potato soup. lettuce sandwiches,
baked apple, gingerbread.
4.-Stewed lima beans. bread and
butter, milk, ripe peaches, cup
cake.
Little noon meals such as these
will provide the child with the sub
stances he needs in his body for
growth, health and energy.

BLAMES POLITICIANS FOR
OARP OPPOSITION

BY John G. Yetter, McCordsville
I have been reading and hearing
the merits and dement's of the
Townsend plan. After debating with
myself 7 would not say that it is
impossible or would bring disaster to
our country. It seems to me that a
great deal of stress has been put on
the fact that it would devaluate our
dollar.
I am surprised to hear the means
and groans of our people when. there
was hardly murmur of dissent
when the dollar was taken for the
well-known 59-cent ride.
What has our country come to
when our people let lot of office
seeking individuals do our thinking
for us? They tell us that this plan
can not work but as yet none OF
them have let themselves be quot
ed as to any plan that is better.
We are living in an age of pos
sibilities and I can't for the life
of me see that anything is impos-
sible. Of course this plan is i'm
possible for the simple reason that
it will help the poorer class. No
politician wants any laws that will
help our common people. Last, but
not least, they do not want the peo-
pie to think
Any plan that will help employ
ment and the right for people to
make an honest wage is going to re-
ceive my approval. I have talked to
few members of various Townsend
clubs and as yet I have to hear one
voice the opinion that they would
receive 5000 a month, but they
hope to receive an honest pension
to enable them to live as God meant
them to.

| For instance, 12-gage had suf-
ficient bore diamenter to shoot
ball which weighed 1/12 pound, and
so on. Naturally, owing to differ
ences in density of the lead in the
unit of weight used, and other fac
tors, there was a great discrepancy
among shotguns. This was eventu-
ally corrected by the adoption of
standard cages.
Q-Is it illegal to sell United
States postage stamps for more
than their face value?
A-Persons not employed in the
postofflce may sell stamps for any
price they can get.
Q-What does the name Worries
mean?
Alt is a Scotch patronynic and
means son of the true" The Gaelic
word "werray," meaning true, is the
source of the name.
Q-Name the author of the
poem, Farmer Stebbins at Foot
ball"
A-Will Carleton.
Q-Is there a difference between
tseasonable" and seasonal?
A--Seasonable means taking
place or done in due season, in good
time or at the proper time. Sea-
sonal means Of or pertaining to or
characteristic Of season or the

TODAY'S SCIENCE
by DAVID DIETZ.

A CALL to American industry to
IAtake the lead in the elimination
and prevention of industrial health
hazards and occupational poisonings
and diseases, is sounded by DR.. G..
H. Gehrmann, medical director Of
E. I. DUPONT De Nemours g. Co.,
Wilmington, Del.
1t was largely through the efforts
of DR.. Gehrmann that the dupont
Co. recently established at Whining
ton the first laboratory in this
country for the study of industrial
toXicology, subject of growing i'm
portance with the rapidly widening
use of new chemical compounds in
industry.
Chemists constantly are devising
new chemical methods that are be-
ing applied to industrial operations,
DR.. Gehrmann says. They are
creating new compounds that, al
though not new, have in the past
been used almost negligibly. Along
with these newer methods they are
creating new health hazards and
problems of toxicology concerning
which little or nothing is known.
EODERN civilization demands
IV1that we improve the old
methods by which our workmen
were made i'll and died by the
score, and that we devise ade-
quate methods of preventing oc-
cupational poisonings and dis
eases. Therefore, it becomes neces-
sary that chemists and physicians
become more closely associated in
order that we develop sufficient
knowledge concerning these health
hazards, and with this knowledge
institute protective measures which
will make all operations safe"
The problem, in Dr. Gerhmann's
opinion, is complicated one
demanding the cooperation of the
clinician and the Psychologist.
Industry, he says, must realize
that previous methods of trial and
error are no longer acceptable, nor
economical.

nLD people seem to get spiritual
~ satisfaction out of having a
memory of the living Lincoln. I
once heard of Negro minister who
had known Lincoln and one day I
looked him up.
He was a gracious host, in his
comfortable quarters. He gave me
an easy chair and fitted himself
into one in corner.
I said:
81 hear you knew Lincoln"
He leaned his gray-fringed head
back on the chair.
EYES," he said, 81 knew Lincoln"
Then he said nothing for a full
five minutes. His eyelids closed as
he thought-the man who knew
Lincoln. And then he murmured
he had known him once in Wash
ington.
He had been a child and was
standing along a street in the
capital. A procession WAS to come
by. In it was to be the Presi-
dent. The Negro lad climbed UP a
stoop to see. He saw the Presi-
dent drive by in a carriage.
"Yes," he said, IT knew Lincoln.
I saw him in that carriage. I'll
never forget it. He was a great
man."
And as I left the ex-slave boy
who knew Lincoln, I felt somehow
that he was, spiritually, living on
time borrowed from the Great
Emancipation. With only procession
acquaintanceship with the Presi-
dent, that Negro pastor actually did
know Lincoln.
I heard the other day that that
pastor had died.
