WHAT, in cold fact, was back of Gov. Hoffmans

cution of Bruno Richard Hauptmann?
We wish we knew. The Governor has answered
the question by saying it only IAN earnest de-

But in view of the spectacle of confusion and
doubt which has just been filling the public's eye
in view of the damage suffered by the legal and
governmental prestige of New Jersey, believe a
careful inquiry into the case is essential And
neither apathy, fear nor distaste for what might
be bad politics should prevent it,

The first requirement for such inquiry is that

for the state than any party personality is the

There always will be slack times
and depressions. We know that.
We may as well stock up for the
next one.
The people know that the last
few years have been tough shedding.
Say what you will, think what you
will, it still stands that the Demo-
Gratis have done excellently. There
have been some black sheep, but
where so many are to be consid-
cred, the law of averages surely
takes care of that.
Elections draw nigh. This ma
ton and especially Indiana and
more especially Indianapolis lacks
one thing. Experience. Political
experience. People should be left
in Office at least until they prove
themselves inefficient. AS soon as
a mayor learns the ropes, he may
be ousted. AS soon as the chief
of police gets a decent organiza-
ton, politics steps in and out he
goes.
Consider, for example, the county
treasurer. He started his term last
January. If he is not reelected,
he may as we'll have his arms and
legs bound. This county treasurer
business is queer one-something

struction by various parasites.
TT should be realized that only
n these modern methods of ham
ding make possible the use of fruits
in large quantities by most people,
since these methods aid production
and thereby lead to lower prices.
Under the laws of various states,
fruit growers are supposed to wash
the fruit, to remove any dangerous
quantities of poisonous substances
before shipment The records of
medicine do not show any significant
cases of human beings being
poisoned in any way by the lead and
arsenic content of fruits.
Actually, people who want to be
reasonably hygienic should wash
not only themselves, but all fruit,
before it is served on the table.
In the case of the apple, particu-
larry, it is possible for the chemical
to remain in detachable amounts in
the depression where the stem is
fastened to the fruit. One, there
fore, should be especially careful to
make certain that this portion of the
apple is thoroughly clean or removed
before the fruit is eaten.

TODAY'S SCIENCE
by DAVID DIETZ-

INJURY or destruction by dis
l. ease of a small area in the
brain is capable of producing weird
effects upon persons ability to use
and understand language, DR.. Sam
uel t. Orion, professor of neurology
at Columbia University, says. DR..
Orion discussed the subject recently
before the New York Academy of
Medicine.
There is no direct relation be-
tween the amount of loss in Ian
guage and the size of the area of
destruction" DR.. Orion said, "sug-
costing strikingly that we are deal
ing with disturbance of a nor
NAL physiological process in these
language disorders and not, as was
held in the older view with the de-
struction of brain repositories for
words"
A second fact brought out by re-
cent studies, he continued, is that
the control of language always is
located entirely in one hemisphere
OF the brain. The similar portion
of the other hemisphere of the
brain is not concerned with the
language process at all, showing
that it is either useless or unused.
Five different types of impair
ment of the language faculty were
described by DR., Orion. The first is
known as word blindness or
alexia."
In many cases of alexia the pa
tient can recognize individual let
tiers, but can not put them to-
gether into words.
The second type OF impairment
is known as word deafness" In
this condition the patient has lost
the ability to understand the spoken
word.
The third type is known as mo
tor agraphia." In this condition
there is a loss of the ability to write,
but without paralysis and with no
loss of the ability to understand
the printed word.
The fourth condition is known as
motor aphasia." I'm this condi-
tion," he said, speech is lost. but
without loss of understanding of
spoken words"
The nth condition is known as
"apraxia. This is e condition.
he said, "in which there is a loss
OF the memory of complex learned
movements without paralysis"

is that all candidates for teaching

MANY questions have been asked
Iva about the artificial ripening of
fruits, and the dangers of various
substances used in protecting the
fruit against infestation by worms
and parasites.
To get the fruit to market in the
best possible condition, methods
have been developed for picking
fruit in green stage and then
ripening it artifcially on the way to
market.
In 1923, it was discovered that the
fumes of ethylene gas would slim
ulate the ripening. This process now
is used with oranges, tomatoes, lem
ons, dates and persimmons.
Scientific studies do not indicate
any essential differences between
fruits allowed to ripen naturally and
those in which ripening has been
fastened with ethylene.
Vine-ripened tomatoes, however,
have been found to have a higher
content of vitamin G than tomatoes
picked green and then ripened.
A question also has been raised
about the danger of eating apples
or other fruits which have been
sprayed with combination of lead

BY Cynical
Since the world finds itself again
in a mad, headlong race for in
creased ornaments, have you con-
sidered your part of the bill, as an
individual American citizen?
Recently, John T. Flynn gave fig
ures revealing the burden each in
dividual in all the leading countries
must bear for the support of armies.
In Canada the cost is $124 a per-
son; in New Zealand, $3.50; Den
mark, $2.18; Australia, $40; Japan,
1910; Belgium, $40; Italy Cat war;
So; Great, Britain, which defends a
vast imperial empire, $3.50, and the
United States, $3.50.
No statistics are available for Ger
many. But the United States, for
the first time since the war, has be-
gun borrowing money for arms, bat
tleships and aircraft.
America obviously is at last caught
in the maelstrom of ornaments that
has burdened the Old World for so
many decades. Whether it is the
only way out is to be proved. At
least we know that it is going to cost
us plenty.
