The Ubrary of con- gress already has provided a number of such recordings for free circulation, the average novel requiring from 12 to 15 12-inch discs, ‘The principal problem to be solved, Recording to the sponsors, is that of obtaining machines for use by the needy among the blind. In many states funds are being solicited for this purpose. This should not be so difficult as it might seem. Many homes have talking machines which have long since been supplanted by radios and these might be obtained free. A gen- eral appeal doubtless would show a general willingness to part with them for the cost of transportation. The pleasure which blind people ‘would get from such a system seems immeasurable. For them it would be light in the darkness, for only about one-fourth of our blind people can Tead the raised Braille letters, devel- oped more than a century ago, and a large number of those who can read Braille do so slowly and with great difficulty, Gardens in the South Sometimes it looks as though Amer- ica has risen to be the greatest na- tion in the world only by reason of its tremendous natural resources and that our mental attitude and ability has had little to do with it. Such is the inference to be drawn | from a history of deaths from pel- agra, compiled by a leading insur- | ance company. | This disease is one which results | from faulty nutrition and has oc- curred chiefly in the south. It is not | unknown in northern climes but is/ Tare here, i Since the depression the pellagra death rate has been dropping, largely because of the development in home| gardening in the areas where it is! endemic. Garden produce contains | the vitamins which ward off the dis- | ease and the fact that many persons | have been driven by the times to change their diets is regarded as the) most significant factor in the declin- ang death rate. Now it so happens that of all re- sions where home gardens would naturally be expected to flourish, the south is most favorably situated, The growing season is long and proof that garden produce can be made to do well is seen in the fact that out-of- Season items for northern tables are grown there. In @ region where it is so easy to grow vegetables it seems ridiculous that a large proportion of people have Jacked the gumption to do so and thus protect their health.

Body framing, which cost $3 in 1929, costs 30 cents today. It cost 60 cents to hang @ door in 1929; today four doors can be hung for 9 cents. A whole column could be filled with similar reports; and they reveal an industry which has made technical strides of almost incredible length. What the auto industry has done in the way of efficient exploitation of the potentialities of modern ma- chinery 1s one of the marvels of the age. But the social side of the picture is less pleasant. The committee finds that after an auto worker is 40, he is made to feel that he is working on borrowed time; if he loses a job, his chances of getting another are bad. Intensive competition has spurred the speed-up “beyond human capas> bility to produce day by day.” Hourly earnings are high, but yearly incomes are low; in one company only 30 per cent of the men worked as many as 40 weeks in one year, and only 23 per cent earned as much as $1200, We get, then, a picture which epito- mizes the great problem of the mass Production age—tremendous technical advances accompanied by the crea- tion of extremely difficult human problems. It presents the paramount issue of our era; our necessity for making progress in the social field equal to the progress which can be made in the fleld of mechanics, Storms Raging on the Sun If those scientists who see a direct connection between sunspots and earthly climatic conditions are cor- rect, we may well be in for a period of very disturbed and unusual weather. German astronomers report a sud- den and surprising development of new sunspots—the largest seen sincc 1917. One group of spots developed from nothing to an area ten times the Size of the earth in 48 hours, swirl- ing and rotating in a manner to sug- gest a “storm” of almost unimagin- able violence on the sun's flaming surface. What this may mean for earthly weather is something for the scien- tists to argue about—and for experi- ence to show. For the ordinary reader, meanwhile, there is something ex-| ceedingly faseinating about the | thought of these titanic disturbances | —unimaginably vast cyclones in flam- ing gas—taking place far off in space, with a few astronomers at telescopes as the only spectators. ja Editorials printed below show the thought by other editors. ‘They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies. The President’s Budget Rule (Minneapolis Tribune) Mr. Roosevelt's answer to those who flouted his wishes in regard to federal Pay cut restorations is a warning that they will have to find new revenues to finance their philanthropy. | By insisting on restoration of the! final 5 per cent three months earlier | than the President had planned, | congress has added $16,000,000 to his! January budget estimates. | While this amount is small com- pared with the total budget, Mr. Roosevelt is insistent that it shall not | He has laid down the rule that the ordi- nary budget must be balanced—that routine expenditures must be met by current revenues and not by borrow- ing—and he apparently intends to see to it that congress does not deviate | from it even by a few million dollars. In approving the pay cut rest i therefore, he has this to say: sideration should properly be given to methods by which the government j revenues can be increased to meet this and any other new appropriations which tend to throw the regular bud- get out of balance.” Thus Mr. Roosevelt reaffirms his purpose to keep the regular budget in balance, even though emergency ex- penditures may conspire to put the federal government billions in the | red. His insistence on this point may | not, at first glance, seem important, | for all expenditures, whether ordi- nary or extraordinary, must ultimate- | ly be paid for out of the taxpayer's ; Nevertheless, it is good strategy to insist that the regular | budget be balanced to the last penn: and for the simple reason that con- gress will be less apt to increase rou- tine expenditures if they must be met through new taxes.
