With Pitt and Carnegie bruised
earlier, Duquesne's l4-6 setback
against strong Mississippi was the
hardest blow in some ways, as the
defeat ended 12game winning
streak by the Dukes and also dis
rupted any dreams of another I'M

AS If the collegiate downfall wasn't
enough, Art Rooney's Pittsburgh
pro SteelerS took 1910 licking
from the New York Giants to drop
their fourth straight decision. And
Rooney had thought this was his
year for a title bid.

HERE'S A PROJECT
WORTH PUSHING

Possibly because society itself is often
deaf to the simplest solutions, it has ig
nored deafness in seeking a solution to
one Of It's major problems-iuvenle de
hnquency.
Yet a survey in Los Angeles disclosed
that five times as many children in the
Los Angeles juvenile hall are suffering
from impaired hearing as are found in
the ordinary public school.
The same surrey revealed that az per
,ent Of the second and third offenders
returned 10 juvenile hall during the past
year had "A hearing loss Of ID per cent
or more.
In San Quentin prison, there are so
many hard-of- hearing conNictS that lip
reading teacher is badly needed there.
1t would be interesting to know the
percentage of juvenile delinquentS in
Imperial county who are hard of hearing.
Finances have not been available to make
such a research here, but examinations
in the public schools of Imperial Valley
have given an indication Of what could
be expected.
Out Of la children here who fell into
the "problem children class, % had a 30
per cent or more loss of hearing, 36 had
IL loss 81 ID per cent or more, ~ HdO re-
tracted ear drums, 81 showed such loss
in higher frcqucncicS that progressive
nerve deafness was suspected. and 53 def
nitcly needed lip reading instructions
Delinquency? Thrrc's plenty Of reason
for it in those figures. ANY child with a
speck Of spirit Will find some way to OBJ
tain the notice of his playmates and ED
crS, Somci hing To draw attention away
from hi{- handicap. That is even more
true when the handicap is not realized,
but is put down to stupidity, or to unwl-
lingness.
The adult who lists child as stupid
without first finding out what it is that
makes the child seem less intelligent than
his fellows is guilty of greater crime
than the one that takes the child into
juvenile court.
There Is IL small but gallant group in
Imperial Valley carrying the load of de-
tecting and attempting to correct hearing
deficiencies. 1t is the Society for the
Hard of Hearing Held in check by insult
ficient funds, hamstrung sometimes by
parental neglect and lack of cooperation
the society has nevertheless made great
strides towards community sanity in
dealing with hearing impairment.
If there are any groups looking for
worthwhile projects TO sponsor, or worth
while activities 10 support, they could do
nothing better for the future of their
community than offer complete cOopera-
ton with the Society for the Hard of
Hearing

THE MUTTON STRIKE
(ChicagO Tribunr)

LondOn'S butchers the other day refuS-
ed to buy mutton offered by the govern
ments food control on the ground that
the government wa, disappearing the
quality Of the meat. The tradeSmcn were
being asked to sell to the public at poo
cents pound a product which was worth
about half that much. The protest Of the
butchers was sufficiently vigorous to in
duce the food ministry to regrade the car
casscs in question and authorize the low
er price.
The incident provides another llustra-
ton, though none was needed, of the n-
eptitude of government management Of
business. The bureaucrats can be counted
upon to throw the economic machine out
of gear They will do so because power
has been given them but somebody else
bears the losses when mistakes are made.
In this instance the food ministry issued
the order, but the butchers were going to
take the loss on meat which they knew
to be unsuitable at the price fixed by the
bureaucratS.
The bureaucrats can be counted upon
to know all the answers. They think they
know more about the quality Of mutton
than butchers do and more about house
wives ideas of fair value than the women
themselves

A GROWING PROBLEM
FOR DEMOCRACY
Riverside Press

The big problem in this country may
not he war or peace. labor KS capital. or
Republicans against Democrats. Rather
II may be government ". the private citi-
zen.
Latest indication of nationwide dis
content with governmental paternaliSm
is the resentment against the tendency
of the federal government to probe into
the private lives and personal affairs of
the citizens, rs brought out in recent pro-
tests against the census.
Senator ChaS. W. TObey of New llamp-
shire may have exaggerated somewhat
when he declared in Washington recently
that nation wide indignation against cen
Sus questions pertaining 10 personal al
fairs is increasing ito the rXtent of am
other Boston tea party" but there is no
doubt but that the people Of America
are being bounded almost to death by
government.
The thing most deteStable is the atti-
tude of fatherly patronage by superior
beings who seek to lead us around by the
hand.
Embarrassing and troublesome ques-
tions regarding personal finances, en-
ployment and housing are to be asked IN
the census unless congress acts.
They follow closely the preparation of
income tax blanks by millions Of citizens
who are in similar mind to protest the
mass Of details demanded by the depart
mont in charge Of that public nuisance.
Questions asked by the dcfunct MIRA
Il few years back indicate what the New
Deal would like to do to the peopl" if it
had an opportunity. Those questions were
not only difficult to answer but they were
actually harmful 10 small business IN
many instances.
Offices at WASHINGTON crowded with
clerks, minor officials and bureaus must
have some reason for existence and as
long as the federal, as well as the state
governments keep on expanding, the pub
lie is bound to suffer.
There seems to be far too much inter
ference with private rights in America,
and the disputed questions in the census
are only the latest indication Of pater-
naliSm in government.

THE LAST BATTLE

Once again the world has occasion to
remember what has been said of the Eng
lish down through the ages.
1.-The only battle they ever win is the
last one"
True or not in this instance, it seems
certain that the British are not winning
the first battleS-the ones fought on the
diplomatic front. Up to date it seems
certain. that is. For in considering Brit
ish diplomacy, YOU must remember that
the Brton will take twenty kicks in the
shin if by so doing he can wear out his
opponents toes 50 thoroughly that the
opponent cannot stand any more
Too often the British have taken one
seeming diplomatic defeat after another,
only to emerge with the final diplomatic
victory Sometimes the British have SEEM
ed to invite defeat uSt to lay the ground
work for latcr success.

Trouble with the Census Man

Biggest difficulty in the current
sauabble over the forthcoming diem
NAL census is that there ARE two
SIDES to the question.
Critics of the setup as establish
cd by the Census Bureau point out
that the canvaSserS are Straying a
lone way from the simple consti-
tutiOnal provision which provides
for nothing more complicated than
counting heads They wouldn't mind
q few of the questions that census
takers intend to ask citizens. but
they think Uncle Sam is going a
little too far when he sets out to
discover intimate details about fam
ilY life
Even then, they might not howl
quite 50 loudly if there were any
assurance that the information gar
ncred would be kept strictly conf
dental But they fail to see how
anyone can reasonably expect some
tens of thousands Of census takers
to Keep juicy tidbits of neighbor-
hood interest under their hats.
But look at the Census Bureau S
viewpoint. Theoretically, every scrap
of information gathered will be as
confidential and as sacred as the
secret ballot. Questions are not de-
