Olympian is authority | Club .of that recently, voted The Olympia, Wash., Daily for the statement that the Yacht city, at its annual meeting, held to abandon its Capital-to-Capital yacht Race, be-| tween Olympia and Juneau, for this year at least, and to make a similarly named race o Victoria, the capital of British Columbia. It has been two years since the Olympia-Juneau race Wwas nmged.‘ It was abandoned last year in favor of a race from Seattle to Prince Rupert, and at that time local interests were assured that both Olympia and Seattle | yachtsmen would unite wholeheartedly this year to stage the biggest race on record to Juneau. Unfavorable business conditions and uncertainty of the outlook for immediate improvement were assigned by the Olympia organization as the reasons for not undertaking the Alaska classic next Sum- mer. Juneau, generally, realized the publicity value of the race end enjoyed the visitations of the sports- men who participated in it. Probably the action taken by the Olympians in regard to this year is wise, but the decision will occasion genuine regret | as local people had looked forward with pleasure | to renewing the associations of former years. It | is sincerely to be hoped that the contest will not } die completely and that its suspension will not be | of longer duration than for the current year. THE OLD ORDER CHANGETH. Few, relatively, are the adult males of today | who as lads in their teens did not foster an ambi- tion above all other desires to be cowboys and ride the Western plains after cattle, chase Indians| and bandits and comport themselves as real he-men of the great outdoors. Of all the make-believe of the kingdom of boyhood, the cowboy tribe was the most popular as lads from ten to 14 years rode their ponies of wood—generally handles of discarded brooms, bamboo canes, that occasionally were suc- ceeded by the family horse. Today this is all changed, says science. A recent | survey in which a canvass of 13000 boys from eight to 18 years was made by a professor of psychol- ogy of Ohio University revealed that while the cowboy is still the idol of the eight and nine-year olds, from 10 to eighteen the riders of the range play second fiddle to the sky riders. The flyer, typified by Col. Charles Lindbergh, has revolution- jzed the youthful ideas, and only the youngest re- main faithful to the Virginian and Shorty. How the ideas of youth undergo changes is de- picted by the list of ambitions at eight as compared to the goal of the 18-year olds. At eight, first is the cowboy to be followed in succession by the aviator, soldier, army officer, sailor, lawyer, banker, locomotive engineer, baseball player and policeman. At eighteen the desire turns to be first a flyer, and | next in the order named, architect, lawyer, eclec- trical engineer, football coach, musician, doctor, eivil engineer, newspaperman and army officer. GOV. In the first of his syndicated articles appearing | in a number of daily newspapers and which dealt with the unemployment problem, former Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New York unreservedly supported Presi- dent Hoover in the latter's dispute with the Senate over the control of funds for public works designed to stimulate employment. Mr. Hoover's plan, which would have left in executive hands the channels of expenditure, which the Senate insisted should be designated by Congress, declared Gov. Smith, was the sounder method. It would speed up awarding of contracts and hasten initiation of construction on | public projects. It would make possible rconomic use of the funds by preventing the tie-up of any surplus from one or more jobs that, under the President’s plan, could be diverted to some other project. Under the Senate plan, specific sums ‘would have been set up for each project and any surplus necessarily would revert to the Federal treasury to be returned to the general funds, or until Congress at some subsequent time should direct otherwise. It is the plain duty of the country to adopt some system that will make impossible the recur- rence of such a situation as that now caused by | unemployment, Gov. Smith asserted. In the past it has neglected to prepare for periods of depres- sion because “American people never carry an um- brella. They prepare to walk in eternal sunshine. In times of prosperity and of plenty the public or @ political orator who would suggest a measure for unemployment relief would find it most difficult to get an audience.” Much distress might have been avoided in the past and surely can be averted in the future if the soundness of the old saying: “In times of plenty, provide for the day of want,” is recognized and its admonition heeded. As Gov. Smith pointedly aver- scentific event in these days and the eagerness jof the public to know scientific achievement are| ia good index of the temper of our modern world. It is largely because of this enlightened public! interest that we are building a constantly more efficient society. Picture for a moment the conditions Galileo met in his life of study in the sixteenth and seven- teenth centuries. Driven from Pisa where his studies of gravitation were thought disturbing, Gali-| leo went to the University at Padau and later to( Florence. Earnestly devoted to his experiments in physics and astronomy, he bothered no one. Few) were aware of his work. Even the patronage of| Cosimo, Grand Duke of Tuscany, aided him but| little. Instruments he had to make for himself. Of skilled assistants he had none. To make matters worse, the Inquisition tried him, harassed him, jailed him and forced him to abjure his scientific beliefs—which he did with| fingers crossed. This gentle scholar, content to! search after truth in the dimness of a medieval | study, surrounded by the crude paraphernalia of medieval science, had no real backing and was hounded eventually into a hermit's life. | Picture in contrast the scene in a laboratory on our own West Coast, where a German scientist | is working diligently on his problems of theoretical physics. With the resources of a vast laboratory,| with millions of dollars worth of appliances at his; hand, with several trained aids, Albert Einstein searches patiently for new light on the theory of! the Universe. 1 It is the same search in which Galileo passed | his life, but the conditions are utterly different.| The reading public of all the world follows Ein- stein's every move; batteries of cameramen and| news writers trail him for further revelations. And| of persecution there is none, unless we count the | surplus curiosity of the public, the overzealous de-| mands of the press. Galileo only became a ‘great man” long after| his death, when other scholars found the worth of his researches. But Einstein is acclaimed by a hero- worshipping world even before the soundness of his theories has been established. It is just this chang- ed outlook of the mass of people that makes the modern world. Science has carried on from an-| clent times, through the dark ages, never quite| defeated, into a more friendly atmosphere. In this| modern world, it moves at a tremendously acceler- | ated pace, for men have learned that it can be made | their servant. Success in Preventing Diphtheria. (New York Herald Tribune.) Hope and confidence in the campaign against diphtheria are justified by the annual report of Dr.| Shirley W. Wynne, Health Commissioner. His sta- tistics of the disease in this city show certain gains. There were 199 deaths from diphtheria in 1930, | compared with 463 in 1929 and 642 in 1928. Last| year's mortality represents a decrease of more than| 70 per cent from the yearly average for the last ten years. The number of cases reported, 3,806, was | 4,732 less than in 1929. These figures hold much} encouragement, reflecting as they do the energetic| measures of the health authorities. | Dr. Wynne said two years ago, with the full sup- port of medical opinion: “If all parents will have their children immunized by toxin-antitoxin we shall soon be able to make diphtheria as rare a disease in this country as yellow fever, cholera and plague are now.” The work of prevention depends upon informing parents of the one safeguard and persuading them to make use of it. Mothers and fathers are few who will not protect their babies once they clearly understand the simple and avail- able means of doing so. Treatment in the Health Department prevention clinics is free. Every fam- ily can protect its own from diphtheria, the enemy of childhood. The spreading of the knowledge in all parts of the city requires the perseverance which| the Health Department is applying to its task. As| yvet only about one-fourth of the children between the ages of nine months and ten years in this city have been treated with toxin-antitoxin. Every member of the community who realizes the need and the life-saving possibilities can help Dr. Wynne to enlist parents who have not been reached in the anti-diphtheria campaign. How far radical politicians are behind the mathe- maticians is shown by the fact that the latter are monkeying with a fourth dimension while the former will have nothing to do with even a third party —(Chicago News.) t last the country has found out how to blight a third party movement.
