Blame the Parents What is wrong with the younger generation is a question easily answered, for the trouble usually lies with their parents. It might be accepted by some as a fine demonstration of comradeship between a mother and son for them to get drunk together as was the case in California when Mrs. Jesse Liver- more, wife of the noted speculator, shot her son while both were in an intoxicated condition, But her explanation that she would rather see her son dead than “have him grow up to be a drunkard” lends emphasis to the point that there can be too close a felicity of interest in some cases. It is a little difficult to see how much that is good can be expected of a lad when his parents set him the kind of example the Livermore boy apparently had. Certainly it is not in keeping with the best American tra- dition, The condition thus disclosed is not generally so bad, of course, but the trend which it indicates has a lot to do with the fact that a large percentage of persons in our penitentiaries are not yet old enough to vote. Help For The Toper Two Boston physicians, we are told, have perfected a gas which may save the lives of persons who become so drunk that they fall into a coma. It is possible, of course, for an individual to drink himself | to death. Alcohol is a powerful drug and, taken in sufficient quantity, may affect the heart so severely that the patient suc- cumbs, Thus in cases sufficiently serious the new invention may be a boon to mankind. But its use should be accompanied by another treatment— to be applied after the patient has recovered. It might prop- erly consists of a paddling machine, such as we used to speculate about when we were children in school. The patient should be given a treatment as encouragement to him NOT to need more of the “toper’s gas.” Lacking a paddling machine, the public ought to supply a |Photographs of a big warehouse and bouncer who would notify the alcoholic victim of his cure by kicking him out into the street. A bit of sole leather, applied in the right place and with teeth-jarring force, might do won- ders toward effecting a permanent cure. Many a2 man has overestimated his capacity and suffered That is to be expected in some cases and can be thereby. forgiven. But for a man to drink himself into absolute insensibility is inexcusable and calls for drastic remedial measures. We Need Three When the new potato control act went into effect at mid- night Saturday, a second major kind of agricultural aid system became operative. The agricultural adjustment act as it now stands was the .. _ tigst. “The potato bill is the second and marks the first intro- ductifn of a licensing provision, for that, essentially, is what the | few law is. Whether or not it will work remains to be seen. The de- partment of agriculture seems doubtful. It opposed the bill as it now stands and already is preparing to seek amendments. But that SOMETHING was needed is obvious. year, for example, thousands of North Dakota acres which were planted to potatoes last spring were unharvested. Prices are high enough to the consumer but discouragingly low to the pro- ducer. Rather than adopt the benefit plan for a crop which has many peculiarities, it was decided by congress to force the potato grower to assist in his own salvation. Thus we have two systems of helping the farmer now in operation. A third is needed to meet the cotton situation. It had been hoped to apply to it the export bounty principle, first incorpor- ated in the McNary-Haugen plan and oldest of the three ideas, but Comptroller General McCarl has ruled it illegal. It also would be of value in disposing of some wheat grown on the Pacific coast. With regard to wheat and corn the AAA has been a suc- cess, but in cotton it has been an obvious failure. should be made by the next congress to put cotton on an export basis unless a new problem is to be created in the south, one fully as serious for many persons as that created by the ruin- ‘ously low cotton prices which called the present controversial cotton control plan into existence. There is no real reason why any agricultural section of the country should not have the type of assistance which best suits it, provided that system does not conflict with the general in- » terest. There is no reason why, as long as we are about it, we should not try out the export bounty plan along with the others, , 4D editorial writer advances the theory that men hunt just to be near the earth and flowers, The trouble is foo many hunters remain there. * know it was loaded” to “I thought he was a rabbit.” oo. eet lmape ngs SIE PI Feveals the officer wasn't Gen, Hugh Johnson. ° ee | fineover any mention of food prices. squad.” Well, it’s quicker. ‘ngke up his mind. pee 2 Provision ‘This is the time of year when that stock slibl changes from “I didn't “Poisonous snake dies 30 minutes after biting army officer.” A check-up x Careful strutiny of the results of that army stratospheric flight tails to ‘Canadian boys pees resolution that, rather than go to war, they'll “tace es B A ofr e - A wounded Italian soldier cried, “Long live the Duce; long live Italy.” oe 8 the latest thing in motor cars, ask the wife to pick “|mas card you'd better address it to This the | Scenes Washington Our Government Isn't Quite a Total Loss . . . Thousands of Fakes Ex- | posed by Federal Trade Commission ««. Probers Make Life Tough for Quacks, By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Dec. 4.—It isn’t quite true that all the government does is to boost prices, spend profligately, and take away your money in taxes. Sometimes it carries on activities which actually save your money. Sev- eral agencies are engaged in that Process to some degree, but if you want to send ohe of them a Christ- the Federal Trade Commission. ‘No one knows how many millions the FTC has saved us in electricity charges, but its mammoth investiga- tion of public utilities—which has run into 81 volumes since 1929 and ex- posed no end of “power trust” iniqui- ties—has furnished a plentiful supply ot ammunition for the widespread campaign to drive down rates. Lately it has investigated the tex- tile, milk, and chain store industries and it now has taken up the food in- dustries en masse with a view to find- ing out why food costs you as a con- sumer so much more than the farmer receives for it as a producer. * Oe Radio Ads Are X-Rayed One could go on at length enumer- ating activities of the FTC which are in the consumer's interest — and if you're interested you might send for the commission's annual report. For instance, in the last year it has received 439,253 radio advertising con- tinuities for checking as to false and misleading advertising. But perhaps it would interest you most to know about the thousands of actions FTC has taken in cases of “unfair compe- tition” or “unfair trade practices.” Thus, in the last two or three weeks, the commission has published notices of actions against: A casket company whose claim that its vaults were waterproof was dis- puted. A maker of beauty preparations; who claimed his product gave perma- nent beauty and was safe and harm- less to use. An aspirin company which claimed its product was less toxic and more effective than any other aspirin. A handkerchief manufacturer who mentholated his handkerchiefs and claimed they provided instant relief for colds and hay fever. ee More Fakes Exposed ‘That's just a few on the list. Then we have: A pants agency which claimed to have a pants factory of its own. A perfume company which indi- cated its perfumes were made in Paris. Various procedures of cleaning fluids alleged to do no damage to fabrics or colors. A clothing company which adver- tised “all wool,” “fashion tailored to fit,” and “Tailored on Fifth Avenue.” A novelty company which printed Office building which it said was its own, remedy for athlete’s foot, sinus trou- ble, neuralgia, chest congestion and other diseases, Correspondence schools implying they could get their pupils goyern- ment jobs, * # & Tough for Qaucks In each of these cases, and in hun- dreds more, the FTC insisted the claims were false. Add ’em all up and FTC saves a lot of people each year from spending money foolishly while at the same time saving busi- Ness men from “unfair competition.” FIC also protects health by head- ing off companies selling quack rem- edies, Probably there Isn't a disease known to man for which a fake cure claim hasn’t been offered by someone on the long list of those whom the commission has made see the error of their ways, (Copyright, 1935, NEA Service, Inc.) ————— BIT OF HUMOR A company offering a product as a + ntAn ee THIS 1S THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, AND By GOLLY, Bs ANYBODY THAT AIN'T SATISFIED | ouctir to. ge SENT OFF To RUSSIA OR SOMEWHERE!

Our public is singularly respon- sive, Last year the attendance set a record. An editorial of about this length turned the trick, assisted by nothing more than three or four columns of Mr. James O'Donnell Ben- nett’s descriptive writing and two or three dozen published pictures. ‘Well, it’s still a good show.

Is insanity hereditary? (A. W.) Answer—Not directly, but any defect, such as insanity, epilepsy, feeble- mindedness, alcoholism, drug addiction, perversion, is likcly to manifest it- self in the offspring in one deficiency or another, not necessarily the same ! deficiency the parent had. For instance, a number of instances reported a few years ago, in which children conceived while one or both parents were intoxicated were born with epilepsy.
