(Official City. State and County Newspaper) The Slaves We Own Did you know that every man in the country possesses 175 slaves? Walter Dill Scott, president of Northwestern University, has it all figured out. power in the United States today, rated on a per capita basis, provides manpower at the rate of 175 esting half hour calculating the nymber of em- ployes a firm like General Motors would have if these figurative slaves should suddenly become flesh and blood. President Scott’s figures are interesting. They portray graphically the transformation that the spread of mechanical power has brought. The fact that each of us does 175 times as much work as our pre-Civil War an- cestors accounts for much of our prosperity. Yes, it is very fine to learn that we have 175 slaves apiece. But there is another related question which Dr. Scott did not try to answer. It i: How many masters have we got? It is a notable thing to have 175 slaves work- ing for you if you are your own master. But if you are not, what then? Are you any bet- ter off than the slaveless man of 1840? This does not refer to the conditions under which you earn your bread. Naturally, in this day, few men can enjoy a job that knows no superior. It does refer to the conditions un- der which you order your daily life. Are you, in the real sense, independent? Do you shape your life—your daily conduct, your ideas, your mental processes—according to your own wishes, or do you do it according to the dictates of invisible but powerful masters? A man can own 175 slaves, or triple that number, and yet be a slave himself; a slave, for instance, to fear, to conformity, to tradition, to ignorance, to superstition. Some men are even slaves to the mechanical slaves that serve them. They are so engrossed in the activities of their mechanical servants that they take them for the be-all and end-all of existence. We have prided ourselves quite long enough on our power and our prosperity. It is about time that we began to look a little more deeply into modern life, to see if we really Are pro- gressing as fast as we think. If we are not free ourselves—free to think, act and speak as our own consciences suggest | — myriads of slaves are worse than use-| less, | Editorial Comment The Farmer and the Shipowner (St. Paul Dispatch) On the same day he vetoed the McNary- Haugen bill, President Coolidge signed the} merchant marine law for the encouragement | of private shipping interests. To the farm- ers, asking only that they be given the same conditions of existence as other industry, the President turns a deaf ear; to private operators ju ol Mechanical | ves apiece. You could spend an inter- | lot ships, he grants a subsidy. The inconsis \tency is glaring, the contradiction direct. Of the McNary-Haugen bill President Coolidge wrote in his veto: “(The bill) would disappoint the farmer by naively implying that the law of supply and demand can be thus legislatively di torted in his favor. Economic history filled with the evidences of the ghastly futility of such attempts.” The shipping bill seeks to encourage the |building and operation of an American mer- chant fleet, partly government and partly pri- vately owned, against the competitive ships and lgwer costs of other nations. THE VETO—“It would be difficult to conceive of a more flagrant case of the employment of all the coercive powers of* the government for the profit of a small number of especially privileged groups.” The shipping bill employs the resources and jpower of government to benefit and profit a {small number of shipowners. THE VETO—“Moreover we should avoid the error seeking in laws the cause of the ills of agriculture.” The shipping bill was enacted into law to {remedy the ills of the American merchant | marine. THE VETO—“If the me: asure is enacted, 1 one would be led to wonder how long it would be before producers in other lines | would clamor for simil ing’ sub- idi The lob- bies of Congress would be filled with emissaries from every momentarily dis- tressed industry demanding similar relief | of a burdensome surplus at the expense of the treasury.” | Ships having been subsidized it is pertinent to wonder how long it will be before producers tin other lines will clamor for similar equalizing subsidies, THE VETO—“I want to see (the farm- ers undertake)........a program.... in accord- ance with the American tradition and the American ideal or reliance on and main- tenance of private initiative and individual responsibility.” In the new merchant marine bill, shipping interests are to be relieved by the government lof the necessity of relying on their private initiative and individual responsibility, which are to be helped out over the rough spots by public subsidy. This measure makes the United States Shipping board the partner, guardian and fin- ancier of shipowners. A subsidy construction fund of 250 million dollars is provided to assist private persons build, remodel or im- prove ships under the American fiag. The board will lend three-fourths of the cost at exceptionally low interest rates. Twenty years are allowed for repayment. Another subsidy is granted in the form of more generous mail carrying contracts rang- ing from $1.50 per mile for small 10-knot ships to $12 per mile for large 24-knot ships. A monopoly of carrying the United States mails is given the subsidized ships. President Coolidge sees no “ghastly futility” about interfering with the sacred laws of sup- ply and demand where favored commercial interests are concerned. When petitioners for government help happen to be operators of ships, President Coolidge has no objection to extending aid to “specially privileged groups.” Laws may not in his mind be good for the ills of agriculture, but they are splendid for the ills of the merchant marine. He was not given pause in signing the shipping bill by fear that “producers in other lines” will begin to clam- or for equal preferment. President Coolidge is strong for “private initiative and individual responsibility” for the farmer, and for sub- sidies and government support to shipping interests. If farmers are led to the belief by these circumstances that there are two philosophies of government in America, one for agriculture and a very different one for industry, it will be hard to dispute them.

He can’t fly cross-country to some dis- tant landing field because the army hasn’t the fuel to bring him back. The army has tried hard to keep its reserve corps pilots in trim, but the gasoline shortage has limited them to four hours a month in the air, which, from the standpoint of efficiency, isn’t enough. The re- serve pilots arc the ones who have to do most of the circle flying, but even the regular officers have had to curtail the longer flights. The cross-country flying is really the most valuable experience of all, for it allows aviators to land at strange fields, to fly at night and other- wise to pick up more all-around training. The National Guard birdmen are luckier than either the regulars or the reserves, because they are fre- quently given extra money fpr gaso- line by the state legislatures. It may or may not be generally known that the army’s gas shortage kept its planes out of the joint First Corps Area maneuvers off the New England coast more than a year ago. The original plan was to maneuver the army planes along with the navy and marine planes. But the army didn’t have enough gasoline, so its troops maneuvered with none of their own aircraft. Army officers don’t like to talk very loudly about their problem, but the gas shortage is purely a matter of appropriations by Con- gress and the pruning knife of the Budget Bureau. The air service just gets so much money that can be used for gasoline and it has to worry along on that or take money needed to keep its planes in re- pair. ee The army boys wouldn’t be quite as sore about the matter as they are if they didn’t feel they were being . —— T dAve ct! ih WASHINGTON LETTER 31.—While | A WAY [ CAN ATTEND “THE CONVENTIONS Without EXPENSE “fo MYSELF! Yj jdiseriminated against in favor of the navy and the marines. They have always grumbled pri- jvately that the navy, by playing ‘politics and lobbying, was grabbing loff most of the cream and con- siderable gasoline. Lately they have been especially peeved because of what they consider evidence tl.at the navy is trying to push them out of the coast defense business. They charge that the navy seems to have adopted a policy of easing itself in on army aviation fields and then trying to nose the army out altogether. ee For instance, Bolling Field here at Washington, North Island off Los Angeles and Luke Field in | Hawaii. The army had a grand big field all to itself at Bolling. The navy, coming to realize that airplanes were useful in bombing battleships, began to expand its air force and asked for permission to put up a little hangar on the field along- side the Potomac. Obtaining the privilege, they built up a large plant now known as the Anacostia Nava) Air Sta- tion, which, to the casual visitors, i dwarfs the army’s layout on the other side of the field. Recently the two services have had a bitter row over radio tower: The army had its own radio statio and the navy undertook to erect two, large wireless towers which would, | according to the army, just about | have ruined the effectiveness of the army station. For once the army rose up on its hind legs and roared | the project down, one is advised.’ Now the navy is planning a_bar- racks at the field for about 200 men, which will still further tend! to put the army airmen in the shade. ie At North Island, the navy is ac- cused of horning in in the same way and climaxed its indignities by erecting a large mooring mast on the army side of the field, hamper- ing its operations. At Luke Field, the charge is, the army cut down a row of trees for safety’s sake, whereupon the navy planted another bunch of trees— CEANTER, tS Hi HEAD! ux Do with the intention, some army offi- cers think, of squeezing the army out altogether. Whether the facts are really as aggravating as pictured or not, there is no question that army men are incensed. It’s even so bad that the two services sometimes make sneering remarks about foolish fatalities among each others’ flyers. Army officers, for instance, want to know what ever became of that pro- posed navy investigation into its large number of crashes. They chortle whenever Secretary of the Navy Wilbur makes a bad break in public and say that a clique of ad- mirals leads Wilbur round by the nose. They'll never stop laughing at the spectacle of Admiral Brumby paying royal honors to a garage- keeper off Provincetown under the impression that he was a submarine expert there to rescue the S-4. They deride the failure of the marines to catch Sandino. And, re- calling that the navy was yelling for a $700,000,000 warship program while General Summerall was being jbawled out by President Coolidge for cemanding decent housing for soldiers, they snicker at the com- plete sinking of the program in Congress. One of these days, perhaps, there'll be a story about what the navy thinks of the army. ?

At first it would seem that this lime dcposit is due to eating too many foods that contain this material, brt a careful investigation will disclose that this is not the real cause. It is true that the use of too many cereals is one of the principal causes of hardening of the arteries. This is not because of the presence of lime in the cereals, but because of the fact that an excessive amount of starch found in the cereals leads to fermentation in the stomach and intestine, which produces acidosis. The toxins from this condition pass through the delicately lined arteries causing them to tense, and in time the arteries form a coating (an alkali) to neutralize the effect of the irritating acidosis. Excess fermentation of food is un- doubtedly the principal cause of this disorder. If this fermentation continues day aftee day, the vicious irritation of the walls of the arter- ies causes them to become thick- ened and calcificc, often to such an extent as to interefere with the flow of the blood. In the early stages of hardening of the arteries, there is no lime present, but the condition is rec- ognized by a thickening of the ar- terial walls. Any deposit of irri- tating materials in the blood is apt to result in this disease. Those who overeat, excessively use alcohol, those afflicted with gout, kidney disease, syphilis, or those who habit- ually consume wrong combinations of food are most susceptible to this disease. Valvular heart disease is often caused by the same type of irritant which produces a thickening and hardening of the valves, interfering with their action. Other diseases are sometimes brought on fides type of arterial weakening. metimes aneurism or dilatation of the artery will result because of the strain from pulse pressure. Occasionally an embolus is formed which is carried by the blood until it becomes lodged in a smaller vessel where it clogs the circulation and may result in a stroke of apoplexy or gangrene. The arteries leading into the legs sometimes become so calcified that they can he seen through the x-ray just like thin bones. The hardening deposits of the ar- teries can be softened by following a rigid dietetic regime over a long period of time. The arteries will probably not entirely return to their normal tone in ‘advanced cases, but even so, the patient can usually les- (ie his arterial tension and prolong his life. .

L. writes: “I am much overweight and would like you to publish a list of rations that are not fattening. Are limg beans fattening? Have already quit eat- ing bread, butter, potatoes and gravy.” Answer: You can slowly reduce your weight through following the weekly menus which are published in this column, To reduce more rapidly eliminate the meals contain- ing the starchy foods and_substi- tute a fruit meal. You will notice | that I recommend the starch to be used at noon, so a simple rule for you to follow is to use the break- fasts and dinners as I suggest, but take one kind of fruit at noon, us- ing as much of the one kind as you desire. Question: Mary asks: “May plums be used in combination with other foods?” Answer: Plums are a good acid fruit but should be used by them- selves. In season they make a good noonday lunch, Question: N. L. V. writes: “Are eggs good for a person suffering with diseased or wrak kidneys?” Answer: Anyone suffering from kidney trouble of any kind should be able to handle a limited number of eggs, about one a day, properly prepared by coddling or poaching. Question: Mother writes: “I have r. year and a half cld baby who has constant colds. I have had him on a general baby’s diet under the care of a child specialist. What kind of diet would you advise.” Answer: It is apparent that your child is not on the right diet or he would not be having constant colds. Stop using all milk modifiers and give your baby nothing but pure certified Holstein cow’s milk with the addition of one or two tea- spoonfuls of orange juice before each feeding. Your baby, at his age, should use about eight oynces at a feeding, taking this quantity at four hour periéds, making only four times daily. —————————— ee the dances and parties and you were always escorted by a respectable young man who respected you, and T seem to remember that you hun- gered less for poetry and romance than you did for jazz and excite- ment. You seem to assume, just because Alan is a business man, who goes every day to his office, and works hard to support you, that he has no desire or no appreciation of the more aesthetic pleasures of life. I am sure you do him an injus- tice. Perhaps he does not have the time you do, to think about him- self, and to wonder just what he is missing, but I cannot feel that there is the gulf between your minds that you insist. : You are really too smart a girl, Marye, to have so much time to make 80 little effort. I wish you would forget about Pede, studio par- ties, romantic memories, and give more of your time and attention to Alan. You two must not grow apart.
