CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Unnecessary Although a victim of well-meaning friends and party workers who in the heat of campaign built about him the myth of the superman and miracle worker, which crashed with the collapse of the stock market and pros- Perity, it is doubtful if President Hoover needs the cam-; paign of defense and education to “save his face.” Partisan opponents may call him a “failure” and his administration a “calamity,” and the hysterical may de- ceive themselves into believing that another man in the while house would have saved the country from depres- sion, unemployment and stock market losses, but ibe great majority of Americans are fair enough and sf- ficiently informed to discount these ravings. It is one thing to condemn the president and another to point out, specifically, his shortcomings. The idea that he is a first-class genius has long since been dissipated and in his place we sce a hard-working American struggling with 2 too big for a bigger man. The greatest trouble with Hoover is not anything which he did or failed to do, but the effect which n: election had upon other people. Even men who should have known better, business and professional leaders throughout the nation, proved the finite quality of their intelligence by becoming victims of the propaganda in Hoover's behalf. Thereupon, they went out and made fools of them- selves and now some of them are blaming Hoover for not living up to the hopes they held for him; hopes which no one could have fulfilled. There is some question as to whether the President has played smart politics, but that hardly is of interest to the country at large. Most Americans are content to let the politicians battle among themselves. It appears, however, that the president, if he com- mitted one error worse than another, was himself de-/ ceived by the prosperity propaganda of his party leaders. | It may have been this roseate frame of mind which caused him to underestimate the seriousness of the sit- uation which the country faced more than a year ago and from which it is slow in recovering. Politically, the present situation presents all the in-/ gredients of a tragedy. Without intending to do so, the! president has become the chief iconoclast of the Re-| publican party. He has shattered the tradition of the} full dinner pail. How the public which has followed the | standard of the party because of that fetish will respond | will be told in 1932. | The Common-Sense Cure | Knowledge multiplies apace, but wisdom is still elusive. Nowhere is this truer or clearer than in matters of cure, whether it be of social, economic or physical infirmities. Concerning all these we know infinitely more today than | yesterday, and yet must still confess disappointment, | since no clear path is opened out of an increasing con: fusion. The panacea is still a myth, the final authority | still lacking, and common agreement on experience has) brought with it the widest differences in theory and | practice. H One cause for this is that the world is now no less/ credulous, even though it be vastly better informed. So/ many things are now possible that we believe all things} possible and will run as eagerly after an attractive de-| lusion as ever in the days of superstition, For this rea-) son there is no remedy so absurd but it will have a! following, and the energies and enthusiasms of those who! would better the world are divided into countless al-| legiances. "Therefore, in self-defense the average man must dis- count the optimism of those who preach new cures. Their story has been so often told and has so often lived briefly and ndered quickly to an equally promising ‘and delusive successor. New knowledge is vastly fertile of new theory, but convincing authority does not yet at- tend it. We take refuge in the middle ground of common sense from systems that are too plausible in their pre- sentation, too comprehensive in their claims, and too fervent in their optimism to be trustworthy or true. Toll of Parasites Cotton crops valued at $164,500,000 are destroyed by the boll weevil every year. The spruce bud worm 1s! charged with destruction of $71,400,000 worth of prop-| erty every twelvemonth. That domestic insect, the moth, causes an annual damage estimated at $10,800.00. The white ant’s yearly bill is $29,200,000. Thirty-four kinds of bugs, including the foregoing, cost the country a bil- lion dollars a year in measurable damage and probably ‘@ total damage of two billions. In the face of such staggering figures, how can man boast that he is master of all he surveys, with all nature his slave? Sometimes man despairs of conquering world. or made innocuous than new hordes sweep down upon the country's vegetation, threatening the food supply, destroying property and putting the federal and state governments and cultivators of the soil to the trouble and expense of mobilizing new defensives. Current invasions include those of the boll weevil, corn borer, Japanese beetle and several lesser ones. Aug- menting the destructiveness of these are several blights attacking trees and other vegetation. < Federal and state departments of agriculture are the war and navy departments organizing the national de- fense against these enemies of the country. Tomorrow ‘The scientists are giving support to the admonition of the Sermon on the Mount to mortals against being over- ‘anxious for the morrow. They, too, offer assurance that “the morrow will take thought for the things of itself.” Is there anxiety lest the sun burn itself out in a few million years and grow cold? A French scientist rises to dispel that anxiety by informing us authoritatively that 4t will continue to give the earth its heat and life for _ 160 billion years.

Is there Malthusian despair over the incommensurate growth of population in static national boundaries, over the problem as to how these increasing multitudes are to be fed and as to how they are to be clothed? The chemist promptly promises more abundant crops from soils artificially enriched and even watmed, and supple- ments these with synthetic foods. Is there fear lest the fuel supply will not be continu- ously replenished, but will some day be exhausted and man’s mobility and industrial activity restricted? Again the resourceful chemist has his substitutes ready or in prospect. Science has given may promise of a longer lease on life, removed anxieties for the morrow and allowed him, looking back over the way by which he has come, to expect an evolution to an even higher state of being. It Will Never Be Making a mother of father will be the next step in human progress, according to Miss Anita Jones, na- tional field representative of a maternity center associa- tion. She foresees a generation of fathers bathing baby and putting him to bed. This astonishing feminist doesn’t let society in on the grounds for her deductions, but it is safe to assume that they have some connection with the larger part her sex is taking in the business and political life in those coun- tries where emancipation is a fact. ‘The fallacy in her line of reasoning lies in the fact that, although womanhood has become less womanly. manhood has not become less manly. Fathers will, on foccasion, bathe the baby, but that is a little domestic {chore fathers have always performed when mother's Inands were occupied elsewhere. Gags about the hen- |pecked husband are no more apt today than they were | in days when a heavy beard was the mark of manhood. } Someone may counter with the point that in grand- father’s time it was not the movies or bridge, or a po- | litical meeting, that induced mothers to leave the ten- der brood in father's care. True enough, but did the {literary societies, ladies kensingtons and quilting parties of grandfather's time offer more legitimate excuses than {their modern substitutes? Feminists have been making these dire predictions since | their sex first laid claim to all the real or imagined | advantages of the other sex without forfeiting thelr own |special privileges and frerogatives, Fabulous visions! A Worthwhile Boon Apparent proof that a young Bolivan student has dis- overed a vaccine that immunizes the skin against boils as provoked no little philosophizing and discoursing on e ways and means of this dread human malady. tl So is gout. But what difference—socially measured! Boils are degrading, humiliating. Gout is a mark of affluence and social position. Since the days of Job there has been no mofe dis- j tressing and depressing malady among the lesser af- flictions of mankind than boils. Job held out against | the diabolical machinations of Satan to make him curse ‘his day and lose his faith in God until he “smote him | with boils from the sole of his feet unto his crown.” | The scientist! who makes humanity immune from these painful skin eruptions deserves a place in the hall of benefactors of humanity beside Pasteur and Harvey. Boil-immunity should be followed closely by immunity from the common cold. When either seizes upon the human frame all peace and comfort depart. A world without boils and colds would be a happier world in- deed. | Boils are sometimes caused by an over-rich diet. The Timid Soul For the sake of brief peace, the timid soul wil! dodge} an issue and evade a responsibility, will let a lic live and; an evil flourish. Of such weak stuff are most of us made.| for which reason evil has too much of its own way in the world and crime flourishes in the neighborhood of |lazy tolerance. The will to evil puts on a false front of ‘A strength, chiefly because the will to good lacks courage. For rare indeed is the sort of courage that will make no importance than its consequence. It is a topsy-turvy world when evil seems stronger than good and delusions are allowed to live while good sense is afraid of a shadow. Our timid souls need cour- age—courage io declare the truth as we see it and to overthrow the flimsy towers of sham; courage to de- clare for the good and turn the daylight on evil. Timid souls may be content with the starveling peace they earn, but the decent destiny of the world lies in the hands of men who will fight for it.

They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Trib- wi policies. 7 Will o’ the Wisp | (Minneapolis Journal) Howard Ferguson, Canadian High Commissioner, tells the opening session of the World Wheat Conference that its problem is to get the farmer a fair price for his wheat, without overcharging the consumer for his flour. If Mr. Ferguson means that wheat prices should be put in line, if possible, with other commodity values and with labor values, but with no attempt to force them jto @ point where the law of diminishing returns, oper- ating through reduced consumption, will nullify the benefit to the grower, then he is on sound ground. But if he means that it is the World Conference's problem to devise means by which the farm price of wheat may be put up, for the farmer's benefit, while the | kitchen price of flour is held down, for the consumer's benefit, then he is chasing the same will o’ the wisp that has been pursued by every from Jerry to divert thought from. the sufficient evil which the| Daily Heal - *. Operation on Nasal Organ Is By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Med- ical Association, and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine The nose is one of the most diffi- cult organs of the human counten- ance, particularly as concerns its re- lationship to beauty. It is the most conspicuous feature and any exag- geration in its size or any loss of its contour not only makes it a target for unnecessary attention, but makes its possessor the subject of a psycho- logic complex which leads to unhap- piness. y In molding the human body, na- ture plays strange tricks with the nose, not infrequently placing an aquiline organ of classical proportions on a piquant face, or putting a tiny, uptilted proboscis on a countenance ef tremendous proportions, A nose of any shape or size may function perfectly for smelling and breathing, but still fail to give satisfaction to its possessor. ** * Hence, surgeons who specialize in} art work on the human face devote their attention largely to the possi- bilities of reconstruction of the nose. In a recent address before the In- stitute of Medicine of Chicago, an expert in cosmetic surgery emphasiz- ‘ed the fact that much depends on the particular point of view in the de- termination as to whether or not an operation is to be done. If the patient has a psychologic fixation on his nose, he is not like- ly to be satisfied with any result that may be achieved. For this reason, ex- perts are cautious about attempting | to correct slight defects, preferring to exercise their abilities on serious loss- es due to either accident or disease, x * * | Another Wild Gusher That’s Hard to Tame! Ith Service The No’se Have “IT” If Doctor Knows His Cosmetic Surgery *- * Fairly Serious and Should Be Used Only for Serious Defects or to serious deformities of such cer- tainly inartistic contours as to make the relief clearly apparent. The mere fact, therefore, that the person is dissatisfied with his nose is not considered to be a sufficient in- dication for an operation. The pres- ence of a noticeable hump or depres- sion is, however, a condition which may be relieved with some satisfac- tion. It should be understood that any operation is a fairly serious perform- ance. The nose is composed of skin, tissue elements, and cartilage. It is Possible to transplant pieces of bone or cartilage to take care of serious de- Pressions, but the procedure is techni- cal and must be done under the best operative conditions. Humped noses may be too long or too short and have a drooping tip. The removal of a hump requires the use of a saw, chisel or file. Like the carpenter who cut out too much door, the remover of bones has to be exceedingly care- ful not to cut too much at any single cperation. It is much easier to cut {out more than to put back too much that has been cut away. ** * In restoring tissue, it sometimes becomes necessary to transplant pieces of tissue from the forehead or the cheeks to make up defects in the nose. Enough has been said to indicate the complicated character of such operative procedures, but it must be emphasized that they require not only the best of surgery but a special type of surgery. This fact has drawn into the field innumerable quacks who promise far more than they can per- form or indeed that anyone can per- form—this indicates primarily the mark of the surgical quack.

Under a marketing system operated by private enter- prise, wheat normally leaves the farm and goes into circulation as flour at a lower handling and processing expense than any other widely used article of trade. Hence, the consumer's flour cost is inseparably and in- {evitably linked with the farm price of wheat. The es- tablished grain and milling trades, when not interfered with, handle wheat at a smaller spread between pro- ducer’s price and consumer's cost than can possibly be achieved by any bureaucratic substitute devised by a benevolent government or governments. This the Fed- eral Farm Board found out only recently, when it had to turn to private exporters to make for it sales that were beyond its own capabilities. If the World Wheat Conference looks at the world wheat problem fearlessly, it may accomplish something. But if its members choose to be political minded, if they ; neglect the real problem while they cast about for means of working the impossible miracle of high pro- ducers’ returns and low consumers’ costs, then their work will be as ineffectual as that of the Senators who think high wool prices can be made to jibe with low blanket prices, ith paint prices, high hide prices with low leather prices, Producer and consumer alike already have been fed ? that magic means existed for sellers’ market of 1917-1920, and have continually closed his eyes to what should be an obvious fact—that a sur- plus and a sellers’ market cannot go hand in hand.

This was the reaction which followed the beginning cof the regime of two meatless days a week. Vegetables and fish also fol- lowed the upward tendency. The rush for meat supplies to carry Consumers over to the next meat day swamped the butchers, although, they had laid in extra amounts. Crowds stormed the stores from early morn- ing to closing time. A great deal of protest was voiced against rich buyers who paid any price the dealers asked. This prac- tice, naturally, sent the quotations much too high for the modest purse. Beef on the hoof at stock yards were also advanced in price. Whole- salers appeared to take the view that the new regulations would not ap- preciably reduce consumption. Coincident with the meat regulation in Paris, Berlin prepared to take ac- tion on its potato shortage.

We left them. “That would be funny—it it had happened to some one else,” I re- marked. “What will I do with the fool?” Chalmers snapped. “Let him get sober—have some ‘one else see his fool wife and find out what it’s all about,” I suggested. I went down stairs and played a game of billiards to try and forget the unpleasantness, When it was time for the game we found the biggest mob of any game there. The Chester boys ‘were fecling grand over the victory of the previous day and were out in full force to see their repeat the performance. | “The Morning After” Mr. Hadley and I watched them keenly as they warmed un. “Not so much pep,” he whispered to me, “You can’t celebrate with prohibi- tion fire-water and be quite your- self next day,” I agreed. Baker went into the box for us at the opening. They got three hits, but one chap tried to stretch his single into a double—-a crazy thing to do under the circumstances, so he was out, and Baker managed to fan the others after two men got in. ‘We also made two runs. This seemed to pep up the Chesters instead of depressing them, and they macs a couple of runs. In the third they made two more, “Fools for luck,” I grumbled. wen got to throw a scare inte them.” Tiheean talking rapidly egan talking raj , tyoure crazy!” he exclaimed. I argued some more. The game went on, Baker still in the box. He held them down to one run, but that gave them six to our two, and the game was almost half over. I couldn't understand it. If it were true that those boys were celebrating the night before werd certainly staged a big come-baci or else knew some morning-after remedy that was mighty good stuff. A half-riot between some of the visiting Allison fans and some of the local lads caused a slight delay and a lot of excitement. While it was going on I argued with Hadley some more, “But look here—if it doesn’t work —and there isn’t much chance that it _will—it will not only make you look foolish but it ll make ne look even worse—as a manager. It will be a standard joke all the sea- “If,” I said, “but there’s another side to tne ‘if'—if it does work it will be worth everything to us.” We went to bat and Pink Davis é thought I had a nice clean hit, but I onl ae it out into the left fielder’s ands, id oon our next man didn’t do any etter.
