We do not know when man first
discovered that he could whistle, but
there la no doubt that the ohap who
first did IV probably by accident
must have been considerably aston
lahed. No doubt he whistled again
with amaeement. Since then men
have acquirer; the art without much
trouble.
In early years one longs to be able
to whistle like father, and therefore
. perseveres until, behold, one eventu.
ally finds one oan whistle even worse
than father.
Generally speaking, whistling
means that the person who la whis
tling la cheerful. The chief practical
Use to which whistling can be put
la to convey that we are quite happy
and unembarrassed. When you have
been made to feel extremely foolish,
for instance, and know you are look
ing It, you strive to ahow that you
ere neither feeling foolish nor look
ing foolish by whistling In a non
ehalant manner: whereupon you look
more foolish than ever.
It la natural for every happy man
to whistle. When the millennium
arrive and we are all happy, the
noise will be frightful. For thle rea

of the mlllenlum probably will be

Will Ainswcrth
WE TRUST the always rallable A. P. aired when it quoted
J 0. Ainsworth si laying i
"I know I shall find the work moat In Wresting and 1 shell en.
deevor to please everybody."
Mr Ainawnrth will never find work on the Highway com-
misiion interesting if he endeavori to please everybody. Any
man in publio life who endeavori to pitaae vx uuui, ena
by pleasing NOBODY not even himself.
What Mr. Ainnworth should have aid, and what he un
doubtedly meant was that he would endeavor to be FAIR to
vrrhnriv. that ha would nlav no favoritei. that he would re
gard eaoh road problem presented
the welfare of the entire state,
any selfish local interest.
From what we know of Mr. Ainiworth that would be his
natural attitude toward the Important position he has assumed.
That, war t.li a Attitude hli Bradeoosaor. H. B. Van Duzer.'and
was the chief reason Mr.. Van Dufor held his place ao long, and
. - 1 ,1 .- iL--.. .l -"..A Alt. A. a
was n.gnjy respected turuuHiiuuu tuo aiatv.
IN FACT, unless we are greatly mistaken Mr. Alnaworth In
utnnil nt irv'ma tn rile iKr avervbodv. will aobn be trvintt to
please NO ONE BUT HIMSELF. We mean by that, he will dis
raaarA the nleae n( alf InrerAat on all aides, and at all times bo
TRUE TO HIMSELF, to his sense of what is right and just,
for the best interests of the highway system and the people of
this state.
That war Mr Van Duzer'a rjoliov. We are certain it will be
the Ainsworth policy. It takes courage, character and a high
sense of publio responsibility. But it-is the only policy that oan
win, the only policy that can prevent either complete futility, or
eventual disaster.
AND from what we know of "Jack Ainsworth," he possesses
those qualities, and has that oonoeptlon of the publio du-'
ties ho has assumed.
If we are oorroot in this, then Mr. Ainsworth either as a
member, or as chairman of the State Highway commission, can't
fail but be a success ; and there will be no further excuse for the
members of the commission wasting their time and energy, in
fighting among themselves.
For all of which, lot us be duly thankful. ,
The Truth About Hoover
HERE is a tip for some ambitious newspaper man in Wash
ington. Write the "True story of President Hoover's un
popularity." That he IS unpopular no well informed person
denies. But what is the real cause t
Is it simply that nobody loves
would like to believe that, but.can't. Ii it because the President
really is, as some of his press critics maintain, lacking in candor
and frankness t From what we have known of President Hoo
ver's character we oan't believe THAT. .
JUST WHAT IS IT t The authors of that best Boiler, "The
Merry Go Round,", throw little light on the problem,1 for the
book is plainly biased. There is obviously no attempt to give a
true appraisal of the President, but merely to enumerate and
exaggerate his imperfeotions. In innumerable little ways the
authors show they simply DON'T LIKE THE MAN, and make
no effort to disguise. their hostility.

whatever he does is wrong. Such extreme judgments are never
convincing.
Perhaps no one thing ii responsible, but a combination of
them all with hard times as the basie factor, and a stimulant to
all the others.
But wo would like to have some intelligent and IMPARTIAL
person tackle the problem, we believe such a book would be ex
tremely timely, interesting, and of great value not only to the
President and the Republican party but the entire country.
We can't escape the conviction that if President Hoover were
better understood, if the atmosphere in Washington were olear
ed of needless personal suspicion and hostility, the entire coun
try, everything about it, and everything in it, would be the
better FOR. IT.
A New Hero Is Bom
IT WAS ever thus. In sport, as in life, the pitcher always goes
to the well too often.
With two world series scalps on their belt, the Athletios, far
in the lead all season, were two-to-one favorites over the hard
pressed Cards. With Lefty Grove and Earnshaw in the box, and
sluggers like Simmons, Foxx and Cochrane at the bat, it looked
like easy money for Connie Maelt.
But aa usual up "jumped the

The President's conference
and his announcement concern
ing a five hundred million dol
lar fund is well received by bus
iness and the stock market.
The most encouraging .part
of the program, whloh must be
read between the lines, is to In
orease the "flexibility" of the
Federal Reserve Board, making
it possible for that institution
to fulfill its function as intend
ed. The plain English of the mat
ter is that the Federal Reserve
can print money, issue it
against good security, and thus
make credit available for those
entitled to it.
But the Federal Reserve transac
tions limited to predlscountlng com
mercial paper, the kind of paper that
becomes scarce or disappears In a de
pression, the Federal Reserve auto
matically ceases to funotton. whsn It
la most urgently needed.
It la the duty ot the country and
the government to reasaura the mil
lions of bank depositors needlessly
alarmed as to the safety bf their de
posits, and make It possible for banks
to obtain ourrenoy against so-called
"frozen assets" that can be told only
at an outrageous sacrifice in uch
tlmea aa these.
The British form an unpleasant
mob when rsaUy aroused, and, unlike
bigger mobs In India, cannot be
handled with light atlcka In the
hands of a tew soldiers or polloe. For
that reason Britain haa wisely done
whatever woe necessary to ' keep the
mob quiet. The dole was part of that
necessity.
In Manchester yesterday Idle men
and women, Infuriated by reduction
of the dole, attacked mounted police
with atonea, and were disparted only
by firemen with powerful streams of
water.
Abandonment of the gold atandard
In England reducing the value ot
pounds, shilling and pence, cutting
down the buying power of the dole
that la left, may arouse more trouble.
The British, said to be worrying
about "a collapse In the United
State," should reserve some worrying
power for home use.
By way ot reminding you that It la
possible to take things too gloomily,
John M. Ellis, of 35 Broadway, New
York City, aends an editorial state
ment from which extract follow:
"It la gloomy moment In history.
Not for many' years not In the life

of It.
"In France the political caldron

cloud, dark and silent upon the horl-
iton ot Europe; while all the energies

are sorely tried, and are yet to be

"It la a solemn moment, and no
man can feel an Indifference In the

"Of our own troubles no man can

MEDICAL PROFESSION WILL INVESTIGATE SPECIALIST RACKET
The comedy of specialism In Amer
lcaan medicine I now approaching
the burlesque stage. The more in
telligent portion
of the population
la getting "wise"
to the specialist
racket aa this haa
been tolerated, It
not aotually
sanctioned by the
medical profes
alon of America.
At the last an
nual meeting ot
the Amerloan
Medical associa
tion in Philadelphia in June a reso
lution waa passed that a commission
on qualifications for speclallsta, con
sisting ot nine members, be appoint
ed by the speaker of the house of
delegate of the medical organiza
tion. This commission la to give con
sideration to the present status of
specialism in' medicine and define
the various specialties which may be
considered necessary for the best In
terests of the public and aclentlflc
medicine. The commission la to con-
alder the questlona of education,
training and clinical experience - a
doctor should have if he la to limit
hi practice to a special field, or be
known to the public aa a specialist.
Well, better late than never. From
the way our aU-around specialists,
our brass specialists, have been growl
ing and snarling back at my animad
version on the evil, one might fancy
that the organized profession Intend
ed to maintain the good old poltoy
of dignified silence about this scan
dal. Let us hope that the lnveetl-
gatlon of the newly established com
mission may at least remind a few
of the quacks within the ranks that
the "clinic" "Institute" or "group"
system ot plucking the gullible pub
lio 1 doomed. After all the high
pressure trlcka Of specialism have
been worked on the wiseacre public,
and all the faat talk about this Do
ing an age of specialism ha brought
In the smart one. It begins to look
as though the honest family doctor
were due to stage a come-back, at
least for a lot of goofy folk who, in
the din of self-adulatlon made by the
brass speclallsta of the day, really
Imagined the family doctor waa near,
ly extinct.
I commend particularly to the at
tention of the commission the king
pin of braes specialists wtio call
himself an "Internist" and employ
all the wile of quackery In 4harp
competition with honest general prac
tltloners. When they have classified
these hardbolled fakers, then I hope
they will turn their attention to the
eye-ear-nose-and-throat boya and ett
United State, "routing ua from our
lethargy."
It will atlr up new Ideas, new re
sources, and that will be history re
peating Itself. Our ancestors a mil
Hon yeara ago Uved In a constant
depression." Their teeth were too
feeble to compete with the wolf, their
nails not strong enough, to compete
with the panther' claws, they could
not climb away from danger like the
monkey, or fly away from It like the
bird. THEREFORE THEY HAD TO
USE THEIR BRAINS. And on that ne
cessity all our progress Is based .
In the present emergency, only
thinking, planning and working are
essential to the success that can be
found aa weU In a depression as at
any other time. The man of 1031 re
quires the equalities that Voltaire at
tributed to himself In a letter to
D'Argental, "I am aubtle aa an eel,
lively aa a lizard, and Industrious a
a aqulrrel."
