The best way to limit naval expenses and to stop the building of battleships is for the United States and Great Britain to get together on international law as it ap- plies to the high seas. that Hearst secured the Philadelphia Inquirer via the back- door, but that is mere supposition, and it was Annenberg, the owner of the Miami Tribune, who signed on the dotted line. There are rumors The Italian boot trod on the English lion’s tail, but all one heard was a_ roar. Audaces fortuna juvat, and audaciously Mussolini takes the Ethiopian cake. It wasn't thought that it could happen in per- fidious Albion. It might be a good idea to get Euro- pean statesmen to come over to this con- tinent and look at the boundary line be- tween the United States and Canada, which runs for thousands of miles without a fort. When disputes .occur » between these two nations, they are settled am- | icably, and Americans dd"iot*¥éfer'to the citizens of Canada as foreigners’ but as Canadians, and we are not foreigners to them but Americans, Adviser Farley made the statement recently that the democratic campaign would cost about $2,000,000. Of this amount spent for publicity radio will get the lion’s share, while the newspapers will get the short end of the horn, and in grati- tude, advertise the radio programs for nothing. But readers of The Citizen need the frequency and severity of accidents. Fart of this achievement followed better guarding of machinery. But the most im- portant cause of the reduction was the in- stallation of a philosophy of carefulness in the workmen. At home and on the road, the man who wouldn't think of taking a chance at his work, apparently throws caution to the winds. The driving érrors that cause mo- tor accidents are well known. Not so well known are the principal causes of home ac- tidents. Falling out of windows, slipping in the bathtub, falling downstairs, tam- pering with electrical equipment—these are sources of thousands of deaths and in- juries each year. These figures should make one think —and think more than once. The hospétal and the morgue await those who are thoughtless, careless and reckless. SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen Members of a Dayton, O., fire com- pany have come in for quite a bit of raz- zing lately, because of a fire right under their noses which destroyed their fire truck, 1,400 feet of hose and twe_ build- ings adjoining the fire house, causing a to- tal damage estimated at $20,000. Herman Voight of Hastings, Minn., celebrated his 100th birthday a few days ago, and laughed over the mistake of his doctor, long since dead, who once told him he was doomed to die of tuberculosis in a few months, That was 60 years ago. Sylvester Plumlee, a WPA worker of Olney, Ill, has just married his 10th wife at the age of 63, his bride being Mrs. Viola Martin, 54. If his memory serves him cor- rectly, his former wives’ first names were Mary, May, Lou, Sada, Stella, Lulu, Sarah, Laura, and Julia, the last having divorced Judge J. Baldwin of Dallas has ruled that a man need not pay a detective hired by his wife to watch him. The detective reported that the man had done nothing more immoral than playing dominoes and pool while away from home evenings, so the wife refused to pay for the sleuth’s services. The judge decided against the detective when he sued the husband. Dr. Frederic S. Fleming, rector of famed Trinity church, New York, ad- vocates a moratorium on preaching for a year or two. In his annual report he said: “May we be delivered from any more preaching campaigns, calculated to arouse a benumbered and harassed people who have been preached to death.” “Aunt” Femmie Ann Young, 110- year-old Negro woman, reputed to be the oldest person in Tennessee, recently went to the polls for the first time in her life to cast her ballot in a primary election. She voted Democratic, Overseer Wilbur Glenn Voliva of the Christian Catholic Church at Zion, mf proved to be a poor dry weather prophet \ when he told his congregation at a recent vesper service that the Lord would allow no more rain to fall there in 1936. A few hours later two inches of rain fell. The United States has 15,204 licensed airplane pilots, of whom 4188 and women. But less than one-half of them can pilot at one time, because the country has only about 7,400 licensed planes. California, | sion of opinion on the subject of econ- | certain other economists disagreed ;lomew, France, followed quite inferior to their willing- ness to give rel- atively free play to their uncon- trolled emo- tions. The obvious- ty sharp divi- omists is not confined to the United States; England, too, has her disputes about the matter, although it seems probable that she generally regards her leading economists with more re- spect than does the United States public. For Americans interested in reach- ing a rational conclusion on the mat- ter of the value of economists in pub- lic life or as technica) advisers, an English analysis of the issue may be of values The: Economist (London). of June 17, 1933, pp. 1291-1292, had the fol- lowing to say, among other things: “There was hever a time when the advice of the economic expert was so often asked and so seldom followed as the present. Different explanations of this phenomenon are given by the economists and by the politicians who refuse to follow their advice. ... “Mr. Boothby declared that econo- mists were unintelligible; that they had in general proved wrong; and that in any case they all disagreed. In particular he instanced the three is- sues of saving and spending. the gold standard and protection. On these issues, he asserted, the four_econ- omists [four distinguished English economists whose records he was con- sidering] were in disagreement, while with all of them; and one at least ha serious dissensions within himself. Mr. Boothby admitted however. that in one point all economists were agreed: the necessity for ‘sweeping away barriers’ to trade. But he did not regard this, strangely enough, as a reason for pursuing the suggested policy. ... “In these remarks Mr. Boothby re- vealed himself as representing very faithfully the state ot the popular mind. The public’s attitude toward the economist is much the same as its attitude toward the doctor—excépt that in the case of a doctor it regards the use of a technical jargon as a proof of great learning. but in the (Address questions to the av Today In History: Cerccoeneccccancccccccce 1572—Massacre of St. Bathe-! by re-} ligious:'war—-some 25,000 Hugue | nots massacred, | bility and consistency than the econ- omist is that the medical profession has contrived by trade union meth- ods that a man shall consult only one doctor at once, or that. if he consults more, they shall all conspire to say | the same thing. “The economist, having once been | consulted, can be held responsible for | all the ills that ensue, whether or not i he gives the advice expected of him, and whether or not it is followed. This is the real reason why he has ! won such great notoriety and such | little honour in the contemporary | world. It is harder to say why the | position was so different in the cen- tury before the war. That it was dif- | ferent there can be no doubt.

Politicians are no wick- eder today than they were 100 years ago; and economists were no less falli- ble then. ... “Much the public's distrust of | economics arises .. from the fact that the economist is compelled to act as both physiologist and doctor at | once. In so far as he is investigating | the bare fundamentals of his science, | the disagreements and agreements he { reaches are purely economiof and in j this region of his study there exists. it may fairly be claimed, as solid a body of assured truth, and as small a fringe of discussion, as in any other major science. But when it comes to the practical application of these truths to particular questions, a host | of political, ethical and sentimental | issues supervene, on which difference of opinion is inevitable and economic | science not qualified to judge. It is the economists’ business both to elucie date fundamentals and to show how these fundamentals apply in practice —in so far as thejr application is not | determined by other than economic considerations. “When this dualism of function is made clear, most of the alleged dis- sensions of economists vanish into thin air....” thar, care af this newspaper) Yoday’s Birthdays Pevemeccccceoncecaccoces Prof. Walter Pritchard Eaton! of .Yale, author,, drematist;, barn | at Malden, Mass., 58 years ago. 1814—Battle of Bladensburg, Md., followed by burnnig of Wash: | ington the next day by British inj second war with us in retaliation | for American burning of _ their) cap'tal city in Canada the previous year. : j S., born at Yonker 1857-—Beginning, of a financial panic ‘throaghot the country duc! te, speculation and overcapitaliza- | tign. 1918 — Amercian submarine chaser Shelled! brid stink: by Ameri-| chn steamship, by mistake. | emataee oy i 1926-—25,000 tried to crowd in-| to New York faneral church to; view remains of Rudolph Valen-; tino, actor—more than 100 in-: jured, i 1934—3 men held up mail truck at But'er, Pa, getting $50,000] payroll—bandits took their sig- nals from a low-flying airrlane. | ‘S SIS SS SS ’ is to pay for it as you pa is to pay monthly, out o , mortgage and have the h very much like buying a it to yourself.
