(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS & BREWER (incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Indian Fourth of July How the history of the American Revolution has impressed itself upon other peoples is demonstrated anew by Mahatma Gandhi's followers who are fighting for freedom for India. In a statement circulated to the American press, Haridas T. Muzum- dar of New York City, a physician educated at Northwestern university and University of Wisconsin, calls at- tention to the fact that January 26 marks the second anniversary of the declaration of Indian independence. He predicts, with true patriotic fervor, that the British government eventually will be compelled to re- open negotiations with Mahatma Gandhi, now held behind prison bars, and that Viceroy Lord Irwin will be the last representative of the Brii- ish crown to rule directly over India’s millions. Most of us know so little about the actual situation in India that we can- not easily visualize the conditions existing there, but every American has a natural sympathy for the struggles of any people toward al place in the sun. In the case of the Indians, how- ever, this is modified somewhat by the general impression that the In- dians are a colored race. Some of them are, since the population of India includes millions of people from many races, but the fact remains that} the leaders of the freedom movement, although colored by centuries be- neath a tropic sun, are essentially Caucasians. Because it is the last part of her vast empire which is ruled as a pos- session, and because of the further fact that she receives great wealth from India, Britain has resisted to the utmost the movement to grant| dominion status to India. Only time will tell how the struggle will end, but it seems clear that the boycott of British goods in India may eliminate one of the reasons for struggling to retain India as a possession. Still Interested There was a time when railroads were forced to pay huge damages be- cause of death and injury inflicted upon motorists at highway crossings, but recent court rulings have changed all that. The burden of proof is now upon the motorist or his heirs and it is only on rare occasions that rail- roads are held liable in such cases. It is refreshing to note, however,| that the railroads are continuing their efforts to promote safety at crossings despite this elimination of their liability for damages. In all ways open to them, they are co- operating to reduce the heavy mor- tality from this cause which each year brings. A comment on this phase of the railroad problem, made by R. H. Aishton, president of the American Railway association, is interesting. In a recent statement, issued through the National Conference on Street and Highway Safety, he suggests that an imperative need is being felt for uniformity in methods of protection at, highway grade crossings. He sug- gests, in addition, state supervision over the creation of new crossings and uniform laws and codes relating to safety on the highways. In 1930, class one railroads alone spent $30,218,124 for the separation of grades. The effect of this and other improvements was to reduce grade crossing fatalities in 1930 by 465 as compered with 1929 and the comparatively good showing persisted for the first 10 months of 1931. Since 25 per cent of the motorists ed or injured crashed into the | kind The Bismarck Tribune) "re%e¢ despite the reduction in deaths at grade crossings shows that the man at the wheel bears the ulti- mate responsibility for most fatal traffic accidents. . Getting Candidates to Think ‘The Kentucky house of represent- atives, in inviting all of the active and passive contenders for the {Democratic presidential nomination to come down and address a joint session of the Kentucky legislature, seems to have got on the trail of an excellent idea. There used to be a theory, in Amer- ... 7.20} ican politics, that a candidate for the Daily by mail per year (in state el presidency owed it to his fellow coun- trymen to make numerous public speeches so that his attitude on every major issue before the electorate could be unmistakably clear. That theory, of course, has gone woefully out of fashion lately, and the idea | now secms to be to say nothing what- ever until you can't possibly remain 00| silent any longer. Kentucky's idea would restore the | old custom; and, really, it is a custom very much worth restoring. Heartless Sport An English court the other day dis- missed charges of cruelty to animals which had been brought agsinst of- ficials of a hunt club following a stag hunt. The S. P. C. A. had filed the charges pointing out that the stag had been carried to the scene of the hunt in a cart and had peacefully stopped to graze upon being released. Chased away it had trotted into a flock of sheep and had stopped to graze again. Chased again it ran back to the spot where it had been liberated and was induced to give the hunt club a run for its money only after repeated urging. Finally, being imbued with the proper amount cf fright, it ran to a river, plunged in} and swam through icy water to escape. One can hardly help feeling that the verdict of acquittal came chiefly because stag hunting is a game play- ed exclusively by the “right sort ot people” and not because the 8. P. C. A. had failed to prove its case. That of hunting is picturesque, glamorous and all of that; but it is also a bit heartless. Editorial Comment Editorlals printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. They are published without re to whether they agree or disagr with The Tribune's policies. Our Own Doles (Chicago Tribune) Gov. La Follette in his second mes- sage to the Wisconsin legislature writes, apparently not without pride, that although in September it was {estimated 25,000 families in the state soon would need public relief, they) were giving, by the end of December, aid to more than 35,000. His com- munication has something of the sound of a successful manager who has exceeded his sales quota. While every humane man _ recog- nizes the need of caring for the less fortunate, and the American purse always has been quick to open wide for the relief of suffering, sober thought must be given to the effect on American life of too free handed distribution of public aid. There already is resentment ex- pressed. Not by the rich, who are doing their part in sustaining this aid, but by the self-respecting fam- ilies of small means, who, during their periods of prosperity, made some provision for the future and who feel an imposition at the easy; way their less provident neighbor has shifted his responsibilities on his community and now lives, maybe as: well as ever, at the expense of the city or county. It is well within the memory of men in middle life when there was a stigma attached to the poor list, when men and women struggled to avoid the acceptance of public aid and when families rallied to the help of their less successful, even though distant, relatives, to avoid the shame felt at being county charges. There are still many who feel keen humiliation at accepting public aid, and who defer it to the final neces- sity. They now see their neighbors with rents paid and larders filled from the public store, and with no loss of community standing. ‘The head of one of Wisconsin's largest factories said that, the same week his,company shut down after @ number of years of constant work at high wages, a considerable num- ber of employes at once applied to the city for help. Officials who over- see the distribution of public aid are frank to admit privately that a large share of the beneficiaries are living far better than they have ever before. Milwaukee was treated to an in- congruous scene recently when sev- eral hundred who are regularly on the poor list stormed a meeting of the council committee to demand that their aid come from the local stores so that it could be delivered rather than from central depots from which they had to carry their own bundles. There are a hundred incidents of farmers who attempted to engage seasonal help in husking corn, only to be met with sneers at the offer of 40 cents an hour for useful work. “The city pays me more than that for doing nothing,” was the tenor ot many responses. Is there not-a question that the American habit of wanting every- thing bigger and better than it ever' has been before is tending to make charity too free handed and ‘unques- tioning? Bigger and better poor lists are destroying American self-respect and independence. Gov. La Follette boasts that the charity lists contain one-tenth of the families in the 25 commun- ities of Wisconsin and are growing rapidly. But # sentiment is grow- ing, too, that many of the needy one-tenth are sitting pretty on the backs of the other nine and giving strength to a political situation that 4s a menace to the United States.

Neither Meat Nor Vegetables Are the Perfect Diet for Teeth By DE. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association ‘The who live in northwest Greentana ve chiefly on meat, They have remarkably teeth. The people who live on the Island of Tris- Cunha, as pointed out by Dr. E. V. McCollum, live chiefly on a vegetable diet and they also have re~ markably good teeth. Obviously, it 1s not safe to say that either a meat diet or yegetable, diet is the perfect diet for good teeth. ‘There are numerous factors con- substances but 0 the in- 01 salts and the vitamins. It is that deficiencies of vitamin ously damage the cells which Give life to the teeth, and it is known that these are also likely to be in- jJured by @ lack of vitamin C. It seems any injury to the tissues hich life to the teeth and which hold the teeth in position may per- infection from the blood and thereby bring about further damage. It is well known that vitamin D con- trols the handling of calcium by the human body and that an insufficient amount of vitamin D will prevent cal- cification, so* * One investigator has shown that a large dosage of vitamin C in the form of orange and lemon juices will in- crease resistance to dental caries. Dr. E. V.

On the other hand, there are some races of man which have a very low incidence of dental caries whose diets are not particu- larly rich in vitamin C. Moreover, rats which seem to have the ability to develop vitamin C in their own bodies show marked decay of the teeth. ee In investigations made on the pig, whose constitution more nearly re- sembles that of man than does the constitution of the rat, Dr. McCollum found that @ diet given to the mother before birth of the offspring which did not contain the materials to pre- vent rickets, had little effect on the teeth of the offspring; but if either the mother or the offspring received such a diet during the suckling pe- riod, the teeth were likely to develop defects in structure and disease. There is evidence that numerous factors are involved in proper devel- opment of the teeth. Apparently vi- tamins A C and D are important.
