THE trouble with the Horatio Alger approach,

PREDICTS DISASTER WITH
TOWNSEND PLAN
BY w. H. Richards

By w. H. Richards
1t is amazing how many old peo-
pie, and some younger ones, are
clamoring for the Townsend plan
If such fantastic scheme should
be put into effect it would pull de-
struction upon their heads.
They want per cent trans
action tax" A radio speaker said
that there would only be tax of
$40 for those who spend $4,000 a
year. When that tax has been
added to every transaction from
raw material to final sale, each
adding the tax to his costs and then
adding the usual percentage of
profit, it will make prices so high
that the $4,000 will buy no more
than $1,000 will now.
That is not the worst of it. Men
over go who now receive 500 a
month from a job or who are in
business will give up these po-
Slt1ons and burn the bridges be-
hind them, making return i'm
possible
Should Congress be buHdozed
into passing the Townsend plan
and the President sign it, one of
two things will surely happen: The
Supreme Court will declare it un-
constitutional, or finding that it
has made mess of things, the
Congress that made the law will
have power and possibly the good
sense to repeal it.
Since each person receiving 5000
a month must spend it all within

NO JOKE

COME people laughed when President Roosevelt
~ sent Congress message "little waters" But it
wasn't funny. 1t just sounded So
The study upon which the message was based sets
scene upon which may be enacted tragedy of
universal Importance.
Briefly it is an appeal to the United States to
save itself.
The conservation experts not presenting in
this study vague purely academic forecast in mil
lions of light-years.
They state emphatcaly the possibility that "an-
other century of present trends would leave the
United States unable to maintain the agriculture on
which her civilization rests; that the United States
is not permanent country and is on the way to
join decadent parts of China and Asia Minor, once
opulent and magnificent but stripped of their
fertile soils and buried in the dust of destructive
exploitation of resources; that if something effective
is not done within generation many large areas will
be lost, for this earth disease, like human dis
eases, can never be cured if neglected during the
early stages"
Already soil erosion has taken heavy toll: 100
million once fertile acres of farm land-equal to
Illinois, Ohio Maryland and North Carolina COM
bined-nave been essentially destroyed for profitable
farming another 1875 million seriously i'm
paired and another 100 million threatened
all belonging to the best farm lands of the United
States" atere5
The experts point out that this is not loss of
income the flow of which can be resumed, but of
assets that can not be recovered :"
The problem in many respects can according to
this study be solved locally on the farms through
which the little waters" flow The selective use of
the land; rotation of crops cultivation of titled
lands; check dams built in gullies and streams
and the creation OF artificial ponds and reservoirs
are some of the steps suggested to the individual
farmer and the small community
None of these things are costly but all are neces-
sary Every citizen" the report says must under
stand and play lis part 1t is to all citizens to help
them understand and act, individually and together
that this report is made"

100 YEARS OLD

A corporation, Indianapolis today is 100 years
- old. 1t was struggling town even before the
Legislature granted it articles of incorporation
Feb 1886 but on that day its stature increased.
More people than lived in that far-of Indian
apols gathered today as guests of the Indianapolis
Junior Chamber of Commerce to celebrate quietly
the centennial of the event. 1t fitting that they
should.
And 1t is interesting for the rest of us to take
time to note that 100 years have brought more
progress to indianapolis than to the vast majority
OF cities in the country have. in fact raised it to
one of the major cities of the country
1t might be good idea to peer as far as possible
down the next 100 years. That must have been what
those pioneers of 1886 did when they received word
that the Legislature had granted their request.

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
81 Mrs. Walter Ferguson

N Alabama youth who describes himself as re-
1 served and melancholy is in love with re-
served and melancholy girl and wonders whether
their marriage could be happy one.
Probably not, since they would begin the expert
ment in an unhappy frame of mind On the other
hand, if both are already overwhelmed by the sad
ness of existence why not settle down and enjoy
melancholy together? Misery loves company, you
know
There will never be any accounting for matri
monial tastes as careless glance in any direction
will prove, but there is at present much pessimism,
despair and foolish in the world that is just
as well to conne these unpleasant qualities into as
limited space as possible by encouraging the union
of the detected.
Most melancholy young men, have observed,
fall in love with merry young women and, after mar
rying them spend the remainder of their lives inocu
lating their with germs of hopelessness there
by diminishing the already low fund OF human
gaety. Unless girl has an extraordinary buoy
ancy of nature she finds it hard to resist the in
fuence of husband who is determined to teach
her that life is no laughing matter, but a grim and
bitter business.
This is form of homicide which doesn't get
half enough attention from reformers And yet
what horrid thing it is-the deliberate murder of
cheerfulness and love of life in happy souls
Granted that existence is often a tough PROPOSE
tion still it is possible to cultivate more optimistic
point of view if one makes the effort.
I should say that marriage is not the most i'm
portant problem confronting the Alabama lad. He
faces the ailment of the dyspeptic-chronic blues,
and it's TIE worst possible disposition to live with
Before choosing wife, whether she be sad or gay,
he ought to try to cure himself When that is done
perhaps he'll be surprised to find that his dropping
girl friend has also thrown off the garments of mel

contagious as laughter. especially among sweet

'FUNNY'-THATS HOW HE
DESCRIBES POLITICS

By G. w. S.
Sour grapes make nasty dose!
Po' oil Brown Darby Raddio Big
Me Tammany Al spilled some of his
spleen into helpless microphone,
trying to read the President of these
United States out of the Democratic
Party. Al loves the sound of his
raucous voice, but is too dull to
realize he read himself out of the
party as far as reasoning folk go,
one day in July, 1882, in Chicago
Stadium.
Any one with an open mind who
sat by his radio and heard F. D. R. S
nomination, must have observed the
childish reaction of Mr.. Smith.
Mr.. Smith was so flabbergasted
he evidently saw red, and has been
that way ever since. He beat it out
OF the stadium just as one might
expect 10-year-old spoiled kid to
do, refusing to play any more"
He has played dirty ever since.
And note his bedfellows! Those
who in 1928 scorned him were the
ones who encouraged him in his
fanatical attack upon the President.

TODAY'S SCIENCE
by DAVID DIETZ.

r EFT all those who sigh for "the
~ good old days" read Dr. Ralph
Majors new book, Disease and
Destiny" or the article on the eX-
traction of teeth which DR.. David
w. Mclean contributes to the cur
rent issue of Hygeia under the title
of Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow"
The good old days" were swell
unless you needed a tooth pulled or
had an inf1amed appendix. They
were fine until an epidemic of
diphtheria or typhus broke out.
Then, alas, they were not so good.
For the dentists with their local
and general anesthetics were not on
hand. Surgeons did not yet under
stand the trick of removing an
appendix. Diphtheria antitoXin
was still unknown and the rules of
public health had not yet been de-
veloped.
The advance of medical science, If
nothing else, ought to make every
person alive today congratulate
himself on the age in which he lives.
Back in the days of George Wash
ington, the blacksmith was the usual
worthy chosen to pull tooth. All
this grew out of the mistaken notion
that it took an unusual exhibition
of force to pull tooth.
Contrary to the usual belief,
tooth removal is a gentle art" DR..
Mclean tells us. 1T has no place
for strong-arm Methods"
But it took our civilization a long
time to learn that fact.
It q
TINE ancient japanese, DR.. Nc
l. Lean tells us, were the only
ones to get the right idea about
tooth pulling. They trained their
dentists to extract teeth with their
fingers only.
The japanese tooth-puller trained
from childhood by pulling pegs out
of boards with his fingers. AS he
grew up, the pegs were made more
difficult. He used patience and
little persuasion rather than much
force"

DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

DURING its infancy-and after
II ward-feed your child at reg
ular periods. Be sure that meals
are served punctualig, and that the
intervals between them are long
enough to permit the child's stom-
ach to empty itself and digestion
to take place.
Do not hurry child who is eat
ing. Get your youngster up earlier,
for instance, rather than let him
bolt his breakfast to get to school
on time.
Frown on eating between meals.
If the child is fed properly at meal
times, there is no reason why he
should eat at other times of the
day. The youngster who has this
habit comes to his luncheon or din
ner without appetite, and its apt to
reject the food he should have.
Few mothers really know wheth-
er children eat between meals, and
how much they eat at such times.
The mother who is feeding her lit
tie one scientifically should have
record of these feelings. Then
she can guide the ch;ld's diet prop
erly, and know the reason when,
occasionally, the youngster lacks
appetite.
Whether a child should be forced
to eat certain foods if he doesn't
like them is something of moot
point There are two schools of
thought in this matter. One group
insists the child should be taught to
eat everything. The other holds
that persistent refusal of food hints
that the child may have some SEN
sitivity to that food substance, and
is better off without it.
INCIDENTALLY, nature seems to
l. have put some of the most i'm
portant vitaminS and minerals in
foods which, to put it mildly, chill
dren dislike. Carrots, turnips, spin
ach, cabbage, and similar vege-
tables, for instance, carry large
amounts of vitaminS A, B and C,
and also minerals.
oll4CC 11ldlly CllllAu Gil dlC dpb W
eye these foods rather coldly, it's
wise for a mother to consult a doc
tor to learn whether her child is
really sensitive to food substance
before she accepts the idea that the
child refuses it because of Sensi-
tivity.
If your child refuses to eat, per-
NIT him to leave the table at the
end of the meal; but see that he
does not eat until the next meal
time, regardless of how hungry he
seems to be in the interim.
When this has happened a GER
tain number of times, the youngster
will learn to eat food at the proper
time. incidentally, farmers who
raise prize animals feed them
selected diets at regular intervals.
