FILENE'S BOLD PLAN
"EDWARD A. FILENE'S remark! about utomo-
bllea, railroads and tba bualneaa depression
before tba New York board of trade the other
day had at least tha merit of tackling the back-to-prosperity
problem from a refreshingly new
angle.
Mr. Tllene, as you may remember, proposed
that the railroads be stimulated, "not by crush
ing their competitors but by giving them com
petitors worthy of their ateel."
Instead of trying to divert business back to the
railroads by thinking up new restrictions for other
forma of transportation, he would throw the
doors wide open, build a vast network of auper
highways all over the rountry, make motor trans
portation cheaper and faster than ever before and
challenge the railroads to stand the gaff.
By so doing, he believes, prosperity would be
belped In several ways. Transportation would be
made cheaper, the huge expendlturea necessary to
build the new highways would stimulate bualness,
and the existence of the roadways, once they were
completed, would create vast new markets for the
automobile manufacturers.
Here la a plan that will undoubtedly call forth
loud cries of alarm from the railroad men. They
can hardly be expected to take kindly to Mr.
Filene'a assertion that In the end, the railroads
themselves would be benefited by the scheme;
their reply probably will be that long before that
tage could be reached most of the railroads
would be bankrupt
But the plan deserves attention, It for no other
reason than that It la a bold one. Boldness, after
all, la one trait that baa not been very much In evi
dence alnce the depression began. Most of the
people who bave auggeated ways of getting back
to prosperity have shown a great fondness for
playing It safe. The Idea aeoma to be that we must,
at all coats, avoid any Idea that basn't been hashed
over a hundred times before.
It may be that. In the long run, nothing but
soma bold, far-reaching plan will save ns. This
particular acheme may not be the one we vmi,
but at least there la nothing timid about It.
THIRD DEGREE IN DISREPUTE
ipHB outburat of publlo Indignation that baa tot
lowed publication of the details of New York'a
Infamous third degree caae la a good algn. But
to aay "It ought to be stopped" and to demand
awlft punishment tor the offenders la not quite
enough. Unless we get some definite Idea about
bow It can be stopped, and work to put that plan
Into effect, the shellacking of prisoners will con
tinue as flagrantly as ever after the present furore
baa died down. -
Perhaps the best suggestion Is one voiced by the
lawyer for the three prlsonera who survived the
massaging process In the Long Island police sta
tion. His description la as follows:
"All that la needed la a law barring all contea
elona not made, In open court and Introduced with
tba consent of the prisoner and bla attorney. Get
law like that and you remove the motive for the
so-called third degree."
The third degroe, ot course, arises chiefly from
the efforta ot the police to get confessions. Getting
confession Is a surer way of obtaining a convic
tion than piling up a lot ot other evidence. It la
almpler, quicker and easier than going out and
grubbing for solid facta. If all auspecta would con
fess their guilt, when arrested, the policeman's Job
would be very pleasant.
Trying to get near to this Idylllo state of affairs,
the police bave adopted the third degree. Quite
aside from tha fact that It la an Illegal, barbarlo
and thoroughly atupld process, It Is aubject to two
main objections; It geta the police out of the habit
ot performing genuine detective work, and It very
often defeats Ha own end.
Many a criminal has been acquitted becauae be
managed to persuade a Jury that the police had
beaten him. The third degree la a weapon that
cuts both waya. It frees about as many men as It
convicts.
What we need now Is some revision of the
criminal code, possibly along the llnee auggeated
by the lawyer quoted above, to limit the use that
can be made ot a confession. Abolish the third
degree and you will have much better police work.
The atep la demanded not In the Interest of the
law breaker hut In the Interest of society as a
whole.
Interesting. The famous old class of landed gentry
that ruled England for so many generations la
passing out ot existence, and the vaat country
estatea that were Its distinctive featurea are be
coming obsolete.
That some of them are being turned Into road
houses Is only a symptom of the way In which
changed tlmea have dealt with their ownera.
A bunch of Los Angeles doctors think "No" la
the moat Important word In the English language.
They must have forgotten the thousanda who hold
their Jobs simply by saying "Yea" at the right time
and place.
Dr. Mllllkan, the eminent scientist, says the
great problem these daya la to find something to
do with our leisure time. During the depression,
we would aay, the answer to that one Is easy.
Spend It looking for a job!
INDICTMENTS OF DEMOCRACY
flLTIIS. THEODORE ROOSEVELT, widow of the
late president, has received, she says, a huge
numbor of letters and lelegrnma In the last few
weeks congratulating her on the fact that the
democrats have nominated her husband for the
presidency.
While yon are mulling over that fact, consider
also the fact thnt a man named Will Rogera la
running for congress In Oklahoma. He la not "the"
Will Rogers; the papera have repeatedly railed at
tention to the fact; but he elands to got many
thousands of votes this fall from votera who will
persist In thinking they nre voting for the humorist.
Thinking of such things aa these, one Is Inclined
to wonder that the American democracy works as
well as It does. A consldornblo number of votera,
evidently, never read the newspapers, never talk
of the arte Irs of the day with their follows and have
not the slightest notion what is going on in the
world.
TIMES CHANGE IN ENGLAND
NUMBER of proud old English country houses
are now serving aa rosdlinnscs those days, says
a recent United Tresa dlapntch. because of the
financial straits of their owners. Country gentlemen
whose houses are centuries old are keeping the
wolf from the door by setting up estahllshmenta
lor pleasure-soakers.

Detroit judge baa ordered a man not to apeak

Syd Franklin, Brooklyn's famous bull fighter,

it succeeds there will be a lot of money spent in

unemp oyment situation ought to be far-reaching and
Immediate.
Sounds a good deal like the usual money-spending
proposition put up to the government, doesn't it? The
kind that proceeds by a few years the resulting wail
over higher taxes.
Well, in tills case the government itself has chang

put on the higher taxes In advance of apending the
money. But that Isn't all.

WASHINGTON LETTER
By RODNEY DTTTCHER
CNEA Service Wrltea)
WASHINGTON, July SO If Mrs. Battle Caraway
wina the Democratic senatorial primaries In Ar
kansas on August l she will become, since primaries
are always equivalent to election down there, the first
woman ever elected to the United States Senate for
a full term.
The precedent of masculinity In the npper house
will then have been smsshed completely.
There seems to he e very fslr chance thst Mrs.
rare way will do Just thst, because six men here en
tered the race against her and they sre going to split
np the vote. It almost seems as If all the nnemploved
male politicians of Arkansss had suddenly decided thst
the lsdy would he very easy meat when she came up
for re-election and acted sccnrdlnglv.
But, although It Is likely enough thst one msn might
have defeated the widow of the lsto Senator Thaddens
H. Caraway, It is less likely thst six men will he able
to best her. She hss a stropg nucleus of voters among
those who Idolised her late husband and those who will
vote for her either because she Is a woman er be
cause she ia the inenmhent.
SORT OF "HONORARY" SENATOR
Being a senator hss been a sort of honorsrv affair
for Mrs. Csraway up to date. She was appointed hy a
gallon! governor and the state organisation agreed' to
back her thereafter In the special election to fill out
her husbsnd's term, which expires next. March. She
nsd a couple of opponents then, but won overwhelm
inglr. She flshhertssted the polltlclsns nf the state when
she suddenly declared as a candidate for re-election
to the next six-year term.
It hsd been a graceful gesture to mnke her a sen
ator for list a little while, Nit the theory was that
sho would merely sit hsck and draw her sstsrv. Po
litical ambition was the last thing thst anvone "would
have attributed to the demure, retiring Ilattie Cara
way. Faithful In attendsnce and attention, she csme to
feel that she waa adequato for the Job and thst she
liked It.
As a senator, Mra. Caraway has been a asd and
lonely widow, but hss demonstrated plenty of good
sense. And unsophisticated, simple woman, she hss
voted Independently, line disregarded Hie leadership
of Senator Joe Kohinson, who Is ss much a political
bosa as anyone In Arkansss. hss stood off the lolibv
Ists msle and fomsle wlio sought to use her and
cspitalise her as the first female senator and hss voted
in sympathy with the masses of people in her state.
"KINGFISH" HER FRIEND
Her sent wss neit to that ebullient friend of the
people. Kiimfish Iluey lxt of Louisiana. One 1st
lluey bounced Into her office and announced: "You've
done a good work. I like you. 1m going to help you."
So he went and made a Senate speech In high praise
of Mrs. Carawny. asking the people of Arkansas to
re-elect her for the "sslte of the common people."
lie cited her record ss showing votes for the pro
gressive incsMires. for fiirm relief, for oil and lumber
tariffs, dnelliug especially on her votes for high taxes
on the rich.
"The Independence thst has been shown be that
lady Is a retnarkshlc credit and will stand forever ss
a landmark to the womanhood of the nation," said
Long.
Mrs. Caraway hasn't made any speeches In the
Senste, but Arkansss Is being flooded with copies of
Longs speeches. Her office here is s hive of sctivity
while she campaigns by radio and In person In the state.
THE OTHER CANDIDATES
Neither Kohint-nn or the slate ortsnlrstien appears
to be identified with any of the seven eenstorinl can
tlldstes, hut I.ong. since his hot sltscks on the Senste
msjoritr leader, has become something of a hero with
the enli-ltohjnson element in Arksansas. Hit speech is
likely to he a lot of help.
The other candidates era former Senator W. F.
Klrhy, defeated by Caraway years ago: ci-novernor
Charles II. Kronen, National Committeeman Vincent
M. Mvles. former American Legion Commander O. U

SMALL FINGER INFECTION MAY
RESULT IN SERIOUS ILLNESS
By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
(Editor, Journal of American Medical
Association, and of Hygela,
tbe Health Magazine)
A ROUND the finger nails there are
" areas infected because the skin
ta frequently damaged bj inexpert
manicuring and by the tearing off of
hangnails.
The point at which the finger nail
com ps in contact with the skin is a
sensitive point, easily harmed. The
nail rests upon tbe nail bed and is in
contact with it so that tearing or
pressure of the nail away from the
bed leaves points at which infection
may enter. Sometimes Infection is
caused by splinters driven underneath
the nail, but more frequently merely
by tearing the nail away from Its bed;
Once an infection has begun it may
spread beneath the nail, producing
severe pnin, swelling and inflamma
tion. There Is constant throbbing due
to the pressure of the blood in the
swollen area, and quite frequently pus
poura out beneath the nail.
Infections of the finger nails are
not, ns a rule, serious, but they may
endanger life due to spreading of the
infection Into tbe band and into the
blood generally. One of the chief pur
poses of early treatment, therefore, Is
to prevent spread ot tne intection.
Unless a collection of nus or In
fected matter is visible beneath the
nail tho physician will not cut into the
tissues. Under such circumstances he
is more likely to treat the condition
by the application of heat.
For the purpose he will use wet
packs ot not water or not saturated
boric acid solution, or he may recom
mend soaking the finger in hot water
for considerable periods of time.
Just as soon as pus forms in any
considerable amount it is necessary to
open the area and thus to permit tbe
pus to escape. Tbe physician will us
ually cut tbe finger in such form as
to save the nail bed.
It is harmful to remove the entire
nail plate while the pus formation is
limited, 'mere tore, tne pnyatctan win
usually bore through the nail at the
point where the pns appears, or by
means of a small sharp-pointed scis
sors cut away merely that portion of
the nail over the infection.
After the pun is removed the hot
fomentations, hot bath and antisep
tic solutions are continued until, the
infection clears up completely. Then
the finger nail will grow acain and
tne recovery will be complete.

The International Uniform Sunday
School Lesson for July 31.
Bv WM. E. GIL ROY. D. D.
(Editor of the Congregationolist
FROM the pleasant oasis of Elira,
with it's palm trees and its
springs, the children of Israel enter
ed the wilderness of Sin, which Is be
tween Elim and Sinai.
The oasis and the wilderness are
alike typical of life. The entrance to
the Promised Land could not be made
simply through passing along pleas
ant paths with palm trees and sweet
springs of water all along the way.
For us as for the children of Is
rael, all endeavor and all progress
imply the experiences in the wilder
ness, and we may he thankful that
oases of rest and relief appear at fre
quent intervals. In the experiencea of
the wilderness we ore apt to forget
verv quickly the comforts and the
delights of the oasis, and we are apt
also, to forgot the goal toward which
we are moving.
It was so with these children of Is
rael. They began to murmur and to
complain against Moses and Aaron,
their leaders. Tbey even looked back
with longing upon their days in Egypt
and their life there became exagger
ated in its comfort into a memory of
flesh pots, although in reality they
had been suffering the cruelest and
most terrible oppression.
Possibly much may have been for
given to a people in dire necessity and
faced with the sheer peril of hunger.
Then enme the miracle of the man
na, and tho provision of food from
heaven. The story may be read in the
light of the comment, thnt we have
made upon Inst week's lesson.
In our own day at least we spirit
ualize the story for we have not seen
bread coming down out of the skies,
nor is there much likelihood of that
happening. We have seen, here in
America, the spectacle of a people
able to produce fnr more bread than
they need, with their tT
