The drunken driver problem 'U the
(ubject of much upstate editorial
eomment. Public Indifference to hie
punlahment Is scored more than the
crime. The keenness with which the

aubllo provides an alibi for
edness. arising from liquor,
remarked upon. Its return was her
alded as a tax-reducer, and a road
to riches. The auto driving was to
be of a high standard of carefulness,
because Inebriates would know
enough to stay In the house, until
mental normalcy returned. Instead,
the souse Insists on making both a
publlo display, and a public menace
of himself. The other blessings have
Hot been forthcoming. 80 cometh the
drunken driver problem. It will be
solved by the drunken drivers them
selves. It won't take them long at
the present rate to break a sufficient
number of legs and necks, and crum
ple up the front fenders of enough
new cars, to cause the well-known
"change of sentiment." Until then It
will be well to keep a refuge or a
aide road handy.

Can Kidnapping Be Stopped?
""pHEBE. U only one way kidnapping can be stopped, take
A the profit out of it.
As long as kidnapping pays or gives a reasonable promise
of paying the racket will continue.
How can the profit be eliminated t There is only one way
refusal to pay ransoms, on the part of families or friends of
the victim, regardless of what the fate of the latter may be.
Such an attitude if adopted by the people of this country,
as a whole would stop kidnapping OVERNIGHT.
OUT will that ever b done J We fear not. It's contrary to
" human nature the strongest, most elemental impulses of 1
the human heart.
We can talk all we like about duty and the greatest good
for the greatest number. But let a baby disappear from its
crib some night as the Lindbergh baby did, and the next
morning a message be received promising its safe return for
a certain payment, and will the parents act very DIFFER
ENTLY, than Colonel and Mrs.
We fear not. They will
of, to save that child's life.
OUT the Lindberghs PAID $50,000 if we remember
rectly and their child'a life wag NOT saved.
Mr. and Mrs. Hart of San Jose were willing to pay but their
son's body was found in the bay.
The family of Edward Q.

In all three cases the efforts
the victim failed.
In only ONE of the three
of them, the kidnappers also failed at San Jose they met sud
den and horrible 'deaths swinging from city park trees; in St.
Paul they are fugitives from justice, with empty hands, doomed
to die if they are ever apprehended.
1XTHAT is the obvious conclusion f That even under PRES-
ENT conditions kidnapping is a very hazardous racket,
so hazardous there is slight chance of any ransom payment
bringing the safe return of the victim, and also slight chance
that the kidnappers will ever get their money, and make their
escape.
.All of which is to the good.
RUT now federal authorities are considering another move,
" to make kidnapping even MORE hazardous. It is proposed
to pass a law making it a felony to pay a ransom for the return
of any kidnapped person.
' According to report, such a law, was adopted years ago in
England, and hag practically eliminated kidnapping in the
British Isles.
We wouldn't expect a similar result in this country the
entire criminal set up over here is very different from what
it ia abroad, but we have no doubt such a law would help,
certainly be a long step in the right direction. .
For while such a law would not prevent parents from doing I
everything in their power to save the life of a child, it would j
give them pause, and tend to make" them hesitate about offering '
a ransom, until quite certain that such action, would absolutely
insure the return of the child. 1
In other, words it would encourages RESISTANCE to ran
som demands on one hand; and it would serve notice on the
underworld, that another . formidable obstacle to success in
their racket, had been set up, which with the exception of a
few individuals personally concerned, would have the over
whelming support of publio opinion.
00, all in all, we don't share the prevailing pessimism regard
ij ing the stamping out of the kidnapper. The American
people are thoroughly aroused law enforcement agencies, local,
state and federal, are more, and more, on the alert. The chances
of profit are steadily declining. ,
If we had to make a prediction, it would be that in another
decade, kidnapping will be as rare in this country as it is now
in Great Britain.

WHO SHALL BE CALLED DOCTOR?
A lawyer says that every time be
read one of my articles seeking to
restrict the use of the little "Doctor"
to legally qualified
physicians he feels
Impelled to point
put the absurdity
.of my suggestion.
It is even worse.
I would permit the
use of the title by
none other than
the legally quali
fied PRACTICING
physician. Irre
spective of thon
school or tenets,
(The new pronoun
not my invention; some literary
bird suggested It to take the place
of the awkward "his or her" or the
quaint their," and Prof. WUllam
Lyon P.helps oked It).
The breezy western lawyer goes on
for pages to argue that the man who
la really entitled to use the title la
not the physician or surgeon but the
teacher. Lawyer-like, he reverts to
precedents to support this view and
cltea among other instances a pas
sage Jn the book of Luke where the
Bible narrative tells of the boy Jesus
conversing with the doctors In the
temple. Why take the title away
from the Doctors of Divinity now Just
because someone else wants it?
As I am getting paid for my arti
cles and the counsellor is not, he
leaves It for me to do the research,
but he takes It both he and I have
learned "a little Latin and 1 i Greek"
'In the course of our education, and
as he recalls it the word "doctor" ia
derived from the Latin docere. mean
ing to teach, and so It belongs pri
marily to the learned man qualified
to teach.
This, I estimate conservatilely,
makes the 348th time I've been en
lightened upon the points the attor
ney makes. After a while I may get
to know.
Listen, sophomorons. It is not part
of my plan to take away the title
of "Doctor" from anybody who has
a legitimate right to It, and anybody
who has earned a doctorate degree
la "Doctor" to me. On the other
hand, there are too many fakers who
pirate on the title for the prestige It
gives them, and for the good of the
public health we should take what
ever step la necessary to stop that
sort of trickery. . .,
Maybe I used poor tactics when I
picked on the dentists, who, of all
classes, have a perfect right to the
title, but I turned first to the dent
ists, suggesting that they voluntarily
relinquish the trade use of the title
to practicing physicians, becaxise I
had a fond fancy the dentists might

only a few of the guinea pigs will

'em.
Slippery Elm
Note your advice to feed chopped
pieces of cotton thread, or cotton
batting, mixed with banana, flaxseed
meal, etc., when a ohtld has swallow
ed a foreign body, prompts me to
suggest slippery elm bark as an addi
tion to the list of remedies. The
powdered bark slightly moistened
with water Is easy to swallow and
tends to collect In a smooth coating
around the foreign body In the stom
ach or Intestine. (L.)
Ans. Thank you. That ia an ex
cellent suggestion. An important
precaution, when a child swallows
foreign body: NEVER give physic of
any kind. Feed the child a large
bowl of chopped cabbage, green
beans, celery, all only slightly cooked.
Give him all the banana he will eat
for a day or two. As a rule the. for-
egn body passes In the natural way
within two or three days.
When Your Sugar Runs Low
Are dates, raisins, figs, fresh sweet
grapes, oney maple sugar, good to

Comment

Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
PRESIDENT R006EVELT,' we read,
la expected to aend a request to
congress this week (or ,350,000,000
to continue the civil works adminis
tration until May 1.
who Is reckless enough to bet that
he WONT get It?
0?
F ALL the devices tried by the
government to stimulate busi
ness, the civil works administration
has been the most successful, be
cause It has scattered money out
where It creates buying power.
Buying power is what makes busi
ness good. . .
THE civil works program has been
In operation somewhat less than
two montihs. In that time total pay
roll disbursements have been relative
ly small.
Yet improvement in business has
been marked in that period, and no
one who has had occasion to see
the number oi" civil works checks In
circulation can doubt that they have
had quite a little to do with the
stimulation that all lines of busi
ness .have felt.
FOR one thing, all this civil works
money has gone IMMEDIATELY
into circulation. Those who have
got It have spent It spent It with
out delay, for things they were in
need of.
There has been no hoarding of civil
works money.
FOR another, the presence of these
civil works payrolls has STIMU
LATED CONFIDENCE.
Before their appearance, those for
tunate enough to have a dollar In
their pockets were Inclined to regard
It as the last dollar they would ever
have and to look upon it accordingly
to hang onto It, that Is to say.
Just as long as possible.
With the appearance of civil works,
and Its possibilities of Jobs, people
began to get confidence that If they
spent the dollar In their pockets
they might get another to take Its
place.
Thus money began to CIRCULATE.
NOW here Is a very Important fact:
It Isn't the amount of money
outstanding so much aa the speed
with which money circulates that
makes business good.
For example:
Back In the big boom year of' 1929,
the amount of money outstanding
In the United States was about five
billion dollars. In March of 1933,
the amount of money outstanding
was about SEVEN billion dollars.
IN 1929. with only five billion dol
lars' In money, business was good.
In the spring of 1933, with SEVEN
billions of money, business was about
as bad as it could be.
In 1929, you see, money was MOV
ING FAST, while in the spring of
1933 it was hardly moving at all.
Money wasn't moving In 1933 be
cause those who had It were holding
onto It instead of spending it.
CIVIL works payrolls have stimu
lated business not so much by
the amount of money they put in
circulation as by the extent to which
they Inspired confidence and so
caused people to spend more freely I
for things they needed and wanted.
Because of Its effect on business, !
civil works has been excceedlngly i
popular, and It Is a practically fore-,
gone conclusion that congress will ;
provide the funds with which to con
tinue It Into May.
By that time. It Is expected, the
slower and more ponderous public
works program will have got under
way, taking the place of civil works, .
which has been a temporary expedi
ent to fill the' gap.

plaints stated that the CWA paid

Owens, who has been in the treasury
20 years, although his name has not
been mentioned In the publicity con
gratulations being handed around. .
One thing about the CWA Is cer
tain, namely, that the $357,000,000
doled out up to January 20 directly
