Foundations Cut Grants
Heavily in Depression

New York City (ILNs)-A study
of 128 foundations, including those Of
Carnegie and Rockefeller, shows that
On the average, these institutions
have cut their grants in half dur
ing the years Of the depression, from
1880 to 1894 The Twentieth Century
fund, which makes a yearly survey of
these institutions, reports that:
by compressing expenditures to
S34,0o0,00o last year, their capital
was kept unimpaired.
Some kinds Of grants were "com-
pressed I much more than others. Aid

" Where with eur
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
ahsut many things, Sometimes pre-
feundly, sometimes Hippantly,
sometimes recklessly.
Stupidity keeps bobbing up.

Stupidity keeps bobbing up.
Even the holiday season doesn't
stop it.
Take Mexico. Or Italy. But, for the
moment, Mexico.
The president thinks his rule is en-
dangered, SO he clamps down with a
censorship.
Naturally, the moment censorship
IS imposed, just that moment the
world is warned not to believe the
news passed by the censor.
Censors don't usually merely take
out things; they also put in things.
Likewise they leave emasculated por-
tions that have lost their first mean
ing.
It's all very stupid. The Mexican
president seems to have learned moth
ing from others in this respect. And
his record indicates that he has
learned no more about number of
other things.
Whatever may be the truth about a
good many things, there can be no
doubt that the Mexican president has
agreed to the program of some of his
ministers for arming communist
groups.
That is something that is of para
mount interest to the United States
as whole. We have the spectacle
of a wholly intolerant regime using
public funds for the purpose Of Gre
ating an armed communism on our
Southern border.
And if anybody thinks that is just
a happy Christmas greeting and a
New Year hail of fellowship across
the border, he doesn't know much
about the matter.
Latest reports told of the arming
of school teachers who are under
orders to teach socialism, which most
Of the teachers probably couldn't even
define, let alone teach.
It's muddle and one in which the
strutting Cardenas will do well tc
watch his step.
Many in the United States make
the mistake of measuring things Mex
lean by United States standards.
That is one reason there has beer
so much past misunderstanding OF
Mexican men and policies.
Mexican standards are the growth
of the soil Of Mexico.
Today we have picture of turmoil
which has grown out of things that
are purely Mexican
1t isn't by any means a clear pic
ture.
But the American people will draw
certain conclusions.
They have drawn conclusions as tt
Fascism in Italy and Naziism in Ger
many and one of the definite results i:
that both Italy and Germany have
found fewer American dollars flowing
to their merchants and fewer of tht
American people coming to spend va
cations and money.
i
1t might be too much to sugges
to President Cardenas that he OBJ
serve these facts, because at the mo
ment he seems too busy in the effor
to save his job, which is a prett!
good job.

We Torture the Damned

1t is grim Justice we have meted to Bruno Haupt-
mann He died he should without pity and without
hope of redemption, purgng with his life unspeakable
crime.
Under our enlightened law, accused is in
until he is proven guilty. Hauptmann was proven
guilty the satisfaction of courts He permit
ted to exhaust every known to law No avenue
of appeal denied him, neglected by him.
But it brutal justice, the reflective phase of
the story reveals The degree of cruelty is not mtgated
by the guilt of the accused. Man suffers, though he be
thrice damned
Hauptmann died many Deaths died again for each
hour of life ironically accorded him in the of JUS
tice No medieval torment could have been vndc
tive intended torture destructive of body ana
soul.
In the Middle Ages, such as Hauptmann
would have been broken the Wheel perhaps drawn
and quartered or dismembered the rack He would
have died horribly, but he would have died quickly.
Perhaps day, or week, or month would have
spanned his travail He would have died mercifully, in
fintely so in contrast with the in which Haupt
mann has died
We are just to the damned, and still cruel We have
raised justice from jungle darkness into the light of hu
man intelligence and for all that take years to
kill miserable wretch who will find hell haven of
peace after his living in torment
Mans inhumanty unto his own kind has never been
inflicted upon any living creature completely as it has
been imposed on Bruno Haupmann
We are concerned not for him in the suffering of a
deserved penalty, but for the pitifu nadequacy of civil
lied justice which, in seeking to be mencifu is only
more cruel.-Chicago Herald and Examiner.

GETTING YOURSELF a.. .2CKED
OVER

Many times in these columns, people
have been instructed to go regularly
to their family physicians, and have
themselves examined. Large numbers
live in terror of disease and yet fail
to take this advice. Most people be-
come very much alarmed if they suf-
fer from shortness of breath. 1t is a
very disagreeable condition, and may
really be the symptom of a serious
trouble. On the contrary, it may mean
that one is too fat and lazy so that any
unusual exercise causes the breath to
come in rapid painting gasps, when
there is no underlying organic disease
of the heart
The normal rate of respiration is
from Is to 20 per minute. During sleep
it drops to Ia or Is. When you run a
race, or engage in unusual or stren-
uous exercise, the breathing becomes
more rapid This is due to the fact
that nature requires more air in order
to oxygenate the tissues for the exer-
ton breals them down more rapidly.
When the heart is normal, the quick
breathing ceases in a very short while
after the exercise is discontinued
strenuous or unusual exercise and yet
breathes faster than normal, he should
go to a physician for his heart, lungs
or other organs may be at fault.
Difficulty in breathing or shortness
of breath could be due to some acute
disease, such as influenza, pneumonia
or even tonsilitis. Maybe the lungs
have something wrong with them. So
many causes produce shortness of
breath that it is useless in an article
of this kind to enumerate them. Not
every case of heart trouble is accom-
panied by shortness of breath, unless
the patient is taking active exercise.
A heart that has been damaged by
rheumatism or some other infection
can be greatly improved, if the condi-
ton is discovered early enough to ap-
ply the proper remedies, one of which
is complete rest, over requisite per-
iod of time. Overeating or a wrong
diet, sometimes causes shortness of
breath, not only by distending the
stomach from bulk but fermentation
frequently sets up. This engenders
gases, which causes the diaphram to
be pushed up out of position, and en-
barasses movements of the heart.
A patient remarked to the writer a
year ago that she had long suffered
with shortness of breath and discom-
fort about the heart, but she didn't
believe much in doctors and SO she
had done nothing about it. Her belief
or disbelief did not alter the fact that
she was suffering from a serious heart
trouble and had she sought counsel,
she could have been helped. She did
MT believe in doctors until too late,
and she is in her grave.
