NEIGHBORS
the countie,

THE contagon of the Good Neighbor" policy is
- its happiest characteristic. There was time
back in the days of the Big Stick" and Dollar
Diplomacy" when every suggestion from Washington
affecting American relations was regarded with
distrust from the Rio Grande to Cape Horn. So long
as the colossus of the North employed the technique
of bully, the response of other American repub-
lies was usually derisive thumbing of noses
But in the last few years this atmosphere of sus-
picon has given way to one of good will and conf
dence, all because the Washington government has
acted, we'll as talked, as good neighbor should
Now, instead of asking what Uncle Sam has UP
his sleeve in proposing western hemisphere peace
conference at Buenos Aires, the republics of Latin
that their representatives will go to Buenos Aires
not to be talked at but to do talking on their
account the heads of these republics have come
forward with multitude of suggestions as to what
the conference should seek to accomplish.
All apparently agree that program of peace and
collective security for the American republics should
be promoted Some are prepared to go SO far to
vote for establishment of a League of Nations for
the Americas and an nter-American court of arbi-
tration to settle all disputes One suggested that the
Monroe Doctrine be rewritten into a multiateral
document, that the other republics might share
assumed responsibility for protecting American
shores from foreign encroachment
Another suggests regional armament limitation
pacts, and still another broadening of the pro-
gram to include economic and social problems
This is as it should be at a conference of equals
in community of good neghbors.

A RED HUNT AT SEA?

ONCE he took office in March, 1885, Secretary of
~ Commerce Roper has been the apologst for the
many ills and evils which beset the American mer-
chant marine
He has always been going to do something about
it. The record to date indicates that ne has done
nothing of major Importance to promote safety of
life at sea, to improve the deplorable working cond-
tons among seamen many of our merchants
ships or to insist even upon the carrying out of
tracts between government and ship owner.
Now, the Department of Commerce seems to be
waging a furtive fight against American seamen.
There have leaked out of the department vague
allegations of "mutiny" aid sabotage" The charges
have fallen upon more than 10000 men like a blan-
ket bringing these Woodworking poorly paid citizens
into disrepute without even the courtesy of specific
bill of complaint.
Are we about to have red hunt" designed to
place the blame for the ineffciency of our merchant
marine upon the shoulders of men who are paid
for the most part less than $50 month? AS for
foreigners dominating American crews as has been
suggested in various interested quarters the Labor
Departments review for January states that of
1870 studied, 81 per cent were native born
or naturalized citizens and than 20 per cent of
the remainder have taken out their first papers or
have served under the American flag three years or
longer and by maritime law could therefore be
counted as citizens.
Any bill of complaint which Mr. Roper in his own
good time, pleases to present against American sea-
men, should be followed by similar document from
the seamen specifying their complaints against the
Department of Commerce.
The weighing of the evidence should be by con-
gressional committee authorized to take apart and
examine the Bureau of Navigation and Steamboat
Inspection and the administration of it.

"a MORE PERFECT UNION"

THIRTEEN states have established commissions
- on interstate cooperation to perfect their
participation in the Council Of State Governments"
at Chicago.
Like the original Is, whose representatives signed
the Declaration of Independence on July A. 1916
these 10 determined "to form more perfect
union" They will try through cooperation to unity
their laws governmental practices and regulations
They want to end the mad chaos and competition
between the states that now allow criminals tax
dodgers exploiting employers and others to thwart
effective government.
The states New Jersey, Colorado Nebraska
Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania New Hamp-
shire, New York, Ohio South Carolina, Kentucky
Indiana and Virginia.
IF the Federal Congress is to be stopped from
effective action in interstate matters and if states
are to maintain their integrity as governing units
they must join hands to cooperate more closely
Instead of only Is all 48 states now should be at
tempting to work together.

SPOKEN AS A PATRIOT

NX-SCLDIERS who allow themselves to be used
20 beat up reds, foreigners or labor agitators in
the name OF Americanism should read the words of
National Commander Ray Murphy of the American
Legion
Speaking in California recently, Commander
Murphy said:
The purpose of our battle against Communism,
or any other foreign principle of government, will
De defeated If we permit ourselves to be swayed by
oilnd passion. The world changes, America changes
Inc nasic law Of our land has been amended and
may be amended many times The Constitution was
created for the people The right of the people to
change their basic law can not, and must not be
denied"
Commander Murphy speaks as a patriot who
knows that an assault upon free Speech free assem-
bage free petition and other liberties guaranteed by
the Bill of Rights is dangerous an assault upon
America as though led by foreign foe.

XX7HEN you eat an apple, you
w get 8215 per cent water and
l212 per cent carbohydrate, with
less than l per cent of the other
constituents, except fiber. A straw
berry gives you 80 per cent water,
6 per cent carbohydrate, and l per
cent protein.
A raw peach provides 9.5 per cent
carbohydrate, but if it is boiled the
carbohydrate is greatly reduced. A
banana provides "a per cent water,
22.7 per cent carbohydrate, and liz
per cent protein; whereas, water
melon gives 92.9 per cent water, SIS
per cent carbohydrate, and very lit
tie protein.
Dried fruits, such as raiSins,
dates and figs, have, of course, much
less water (from Is to 20 per cent? j,
and from 10 to rs per cent carbo-
hydrate. Because of their concen-
trated character, they provide as
much as 1900 calories pound.
An ordinary apple provides 100
calories; three plurnS or three
prunes will give 100 calories, and so
will two-inch slice of watermelon.
An orange provides the same num-
Der of calories, but it takes whole
cantaloupe to give equal energy. For
this reason, cantaloupe is a good
substance in reducing diet.
Among the unusual fruit products
are the cranberry and the avocado.
Cranberries are slightly laxative,
like other fruits, and they provide
fair amounts of vitamin G, but
lesser amounts of A, B and D. The

TODAY'S SCIENCE
: BY DAVID DIETZ

DR. ARTHUR H. COMPTON,
- Nobel prize winner, famous
physicist, and authority upon cos
mic rays, chose Easter to discuss
his reasons for belief in personal
immortality. Thus DR.. Compton,
who carried on a spirited debate for
several years with DR.. r. A. Milli-
kan over the nature of cosrnic rays,
seems much nearer that other ia
nous physicist and Nobel prize
winner on religious grounds for DR..
Millikan has long been an ardent
champion of the cause of religion
1t is interesting to note that deep
religious convictions are found more
often among astronomers ard ply
sicists than among biologists, med
ical men and psychologists. think
the reason for this is easy to find.
The biologist and the psychologist
has his attention centered upon the
mechanisms of the human organ
ism. In order that they might make
any progress at all in their fields,
they have been forced to assume as
working hypothesis the postulate
that they were confronted with
nothing which could not be ex-
planned by the application of their
sciences.
This working hypothesis has stood
them and mankind in good stead
To it we owe the immense progress
OF medicine, its triumphs over the
plaques CT the Middle Ages, the
great advances in surgical tech
nique, the new understanding of psy-
Geological processes and their ap-
plication to human welfare through
psychiatry.

for the gangsters, what couldn't they
do for the ordinary citizen" And
just what is a government pledged
to protect it's legitimate business
going to do about private industry
promoting internecine warfare?
The sale of machine guns, or arm
aments not quite up to specifica-
tons, to irresponsible, unidentified
persons, has promoted gang wars.
I consider any manufacturer pro-
ducing an especially equipped car
to prevent the apprehension of such
criminals a party to the crime. This
condition emphasizes the need for
government manufacture of arnla-
ment and strict supervision of all
sales of arms and automobiles.
Government seizure of such plants
is justified.

, cranberry also is useful Tor its 10
dine content.
MANY people feel that the cram
4vl berry is dangerous because it
produces acid. Scientific tests show,
however, that the alkali reserve of
the body does not decrease until
more than 81 grams of cranberries,
or more than one quarter pound,
have been eaten.
Few people eat as much as a
quarter pound of cranberries at one
time. The human body has factors
of safety which take care of acid
ity coming in this manner.
The avocado, or alligator pear,
is interesting because it contains
fat and has a low carbohydrate
content. The fat of the avocado
varies from 8 to 81 per cent, the
carbohydrate being about as per
cent.
The avocado is particularly rich
in vitarnin A and contains a good
deal of vitamin B; in fact, one ex-
pert insists that one avocado pro-
vides as much vitamin B as six
cakes Of yeast. This interesting
fruit is higher in minerals than
oranges, lemons, peaches and straw
berries.
Dietary advisers have developed
many methods of serving the avo-
cado, so that when available it is
highly valuable as a constituent OF
salads and may be used also in
sandwich filings, or nodded with
fruits and vegetables in gelatin.

SUGGESTS OBJECTIVE CARS"
TO TRAP SPEEDERS

By H. v. Allison
After the killing of six people in
an auto accident it is time we have
AN ordinance with teeth, or enforce
rigidly the one we have. Why not
put two plain officers in plain car
and drive IS miles an hour on any
preferential street?
Take the license number of all
the cars passing the said car and
give them notice to call at police
station and pay 81 fine for first Of
Tense. On the second offense have
them turn in license plates and
drivers license with 10 or more days
in Jail.
This will stop the worst evil of
traffic. If the violators fail to heed
the warning it will help greatly to
balance the police budget. Try this
out with one car and the results
soon will be seen.
Every law abiding citizen should
take an interest in this situation.

HARVARD LAUDED FOR
PARENTS PROJECT

BY L. l..
At Harvard, fathers and mothers
of so and 10 students spent four
days learning what their sons
college life was like.
While the students went on vaca-
ton, their parents moved into Low
ell house as guests of Prof. Julian
Lowell Coolidge. Their program i'll
cluded sleeping in their sons dor
mitory, eating in the same dining
hall and relaxing in Harvard's new
indoor athletic building near by
Two lectures a day by faculty mem
berS, visits to classrooms and mu-
seums on the campus, and gen.
eral repetition of the daily rou-
tine of their boys, filled out the
unique excursion.
Here is an idea that should be
copied by other colleges. Too often
there is breach between parents
and children simply because the
elders haven't taken the time to
meet their boys and girls on the
youngsters home ground.

LIVERY once in a while strange
~ feeling seizes us. People who
ought to know assure us it is some
thing akin to religion. It always
turns up with the coming of spring
when the crocus appears and the
grass starts getting green.
Yesterday, quite accidentally, we
happened to be walking with a
scientist who seemed, like oursef, to
have time on his hands, and for
want of something to say or,
possibly because of the feeling of
wonder first mentioned obove we
remarked that the grass is green
again. He told us why.
It's because the grass manu-
lectures proto-chlorophyll, harm
less, colorless substance compounded
of water and earthly materials
which, to look at, doesn't appear to
have any future at all. Once man
ufactured, however, it gets busy and
accumulates in certain cells of
leaves called chloroplasts. That's
the beginning.
When the sun is shining, a mole
cule of proto- chlorophyll, stimu-
lated by an atom of magnesium
which holds it together, absorbs four
quanta of energy from a sunbeam.
Which, apparently, is aplenty. The
extra energy enables the proto-
chlorophyll to attract carbon diox-
ide, kick off the oxygen it doesn't
need, and absorb the carbon.
At that instant, said the scientist,
the colorless proto7 chlorophyll be-
comes chlorophyll and the grass is
green again.
To hear him tell it, God has moth
ing to do with it.
