Tin- hridpe I scheduled to be open for traffic late next pi Office Seekers and By Chester H. Bowell (B. F. Chronicle) An Important practical decision confronts prospective csndtdstes for office In California and their backera. This Is the plea that they meet It like men. by standing up and telling the people the truth. The problem, of course. Is the Townsend plan, whose devotees now threaten to defest sny candidate who does not pledge himself to support It. The snswer should be: "I have too much sympathy for your purpose end too much respect for your sincerity to be Insincere with you. I will 'not commit upon you the fraud of pretending that I agree with your mistaken belief that your 'plan' would accomplish Its purpose, nor Impose on you the calamity of enact ing that plan Into law." Instead, the political scouts sre mruMvtnc the attuatlon. to see wheth er the Townsendltes can make their threat good. The answer doubtless Is . that In some cases they can. They are a nu merous, united and desperately sin cere block of voters. While they are nowhere the majority, there are dis tricts where they hold the numerical balance of power. If they frighten both candidates Into giving the pledge, or bring shout the victory of the one who does, their minority wins that particular election and the peo ple lose It. This Is the very vice of block voting. It means minority rule. The Townsendltes. moreover, are the stronger by their very sincerity. If they were morally wrong. It would be eaay to mass moral indignation against them. But this Is exactly what they are not. They are good people seeking a good purpose, fervently committed to the honest error that their "plan" would do the fine things promised for It. When one point out that, on the contrary, It would de feat that purpose, they do not listen to his argument. They question his sincerity. They think he is out of sympathy with the purpose Itself. Now the candidate, faring this-formidable sincerity, must do one of three things: He must yield to It, or side-step It, or stsnd up to It. If he yields, he must make good. He must carry out his pledge, even though he knows he Is voting calam ity on all the people. If he sidesteps and Is elected, he must stultify either his Intellect by voting for the "plan" or hla character by breaking his Implied pledge. Ei ther way, he will not deserve ever to be elected again. If he stands up, the worst that can happen to him Is personal defeat, and even that Is Improbable. People do respect courage and honesty. In any event, honorable defeat Is a LONDON (UP) Startling disclos ures of an International truffle in children, created by pecularlttes of European adoption laws, has resulted In a British government Investigation. Sir John Simon, Britain's home secretary, indicated that a depart mental committee will be established to study bulky portfolios of evideuce turned over to the home office. The "baby farm" reports show that hundreds of unwanted children, many mere babies, have 'been sent abroad for re-adoptlon under circumstances of hardship and shame, the Investi gators said. The evidence was turned over to the home secretary by the National Child Adoption association. National Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children. National Council for Un married Mothers and Their Chil dren, National Council of Women and other civic groups. The traffic, for the most part, was said to Involve the actual sale of In fants to persons end so-called socle lies In continental Europe.

SALE OF BABIES SIS ENGLAND; PROBE STARTED the Townsend Plan minor misfortune. Dishonorable vic tory Is likely to prove a major one. The trouble with the Townsend plan Is Just plain arithmetic. It does not "figure out." If It did, everybody would be for It. It Is easy to enthuse for the pictured delights of s200 A month for esch old person, reflected In s corresponding prosperity for sll younger persons, whoever could work this miracle ahould have s part of his prolific bllllona apent on a monu ment to himself at every crossroads. But It la worse than dishonest for a candidate, who Knows It can not de done, to abuse the confidence of deluded people by promising to make their beautiful dream come true. On the contrary, the first step of the plan would be to confer certain plecea of paper, marked "dollara," on a tenth of the people, at the Expense of all the people, In a way that would at once greatly diminish the purchas ing power of everybody. The next re sult would be a runaway Inflation, which would complete the ruin and make the present depression seem, by comparison, like prosperity. Then the whole scheme would collapse, to take Its place In history beside the Mis sissippi bubble and other exploded Il lustrations of the past. The price, this time would be the wholesale bankruptcy of a great natlonirtth revolution looming In the offing. They who, on so great a matter, would endanger the Ship of state to angle for a few votes at a single elec toral cast, would show no perspective of great and small. They would bait their hooks with sharks to cstch the minnows of office, and risk being de voured themselves. They would for feit their title to leadership by fol lowing a stsmpeded fraction of the crew, ateerlng for the rocke. Or, In less figurative speech, the best way to win an election is) to risk losing It. by deserving to win. Then you win even If you lose. The intellectual error of th IVinm. sendltes Is psrdonable, because It Is nonest. Tney sre entitled to sympathy In their desires, to resneet for th.tr sincerity, and to frankness and rour. age In disagreeing with their mistakes. even tneir unfortunate political tac tics of minority pressure were learn ed In schoola which r,nt uH than. In such good causes as business, la- Dor and temperance. But the error of politicians. In yielding to that pressure, would be moral. If, on false pretenses, any of them should gain office, there would be no sympathy for their aubsequent dilemma of either saving their coun try by breaking their promises or sav ing their faces by ruining their coun try. Both ways would be wrong. The only right course is not to start down the road which later forks Into these alternative Impossibilities. TO BE ASSISTED BY RADIO BULLET BOSTON (UP) A stratosphere radio bullet that Is expected to revo lutionize the technique of weather forecasting has been developed by Blue Hill observatory attache. The instrument, similar to one used in the Soviet union, la the first of Its kind to be manufactured at a cost low enough to be practicable. The bullet, six Inches long and weighing nearly two pounds, is strap ped to one or more stratosphere ."toy" balloons and it sends back radio messages telling practically everything the meteorologists need to know. This device can go three or four times as high as an airplane, and neither hall nor rain can harm the balloon's fabric. It gives ita infor mation Instantaneously, reporting temperature, pressure and humidity. The stratosphere radio bullet Is a small cylinder, around which a tiny strip of metal Is colled thrice. The cylinder Is routed by clockwork mechanism, making one revolution every half ml mite. A fixed pointer touche the cylinder near the top, and as It passes over a piece of metal, once In every revolution, It gives a "click" every half minute. Three other pointers touch the cylinder at lower points, each controlled by a different mechanism. If these point ers remain constant, their "clicks" come every half minute. The thermometer-polntar is con trolled by a tiny half-tubs ctj mtt. like a nuriattire stove plp cut In two lengthwise. The metal is braj on the Inside and steal ouee. trm expands in warmth and caura th HMle tube to en up. puahinj tht pointer aft Infinite! flt.si higher In the cylinder.

That's a nurse who haa graduated from a recognised nurse training school and suc cessfully passed a n examination given by tbe state board of n u r registra tion or control. This entitles the nurse to sign her name Jane Doe, R. N., and also establishes her standing In the highest grade of her caning. uear ur. Brady; First "fan" letter I ever wrote . . . your article regarding nurses. Having graduated In 1910 and worked Lo, these mar years, It warms my heart to hear a doctor champion our cause. Being just the horse and buggy kind of person, nothing senti mental enters Into my being a nurse. When I think of teach ers, clerks, librarians, stenogra phers, etc., with their short hours, holidays and regular week ly pay, I can't understand myself what weak quirk keeps ua at this nursing, but I do know, I would be unhappy doing anything else. If we don't work Christmas day we are not paid for that day. Or any other day. Our rest ' ts a catch as catch can affair, and still we go on nursing, . , . Thank you for the kindness expressed for and we will all look forward to the day when we shall rate the same consider ation shown teachers and other women whose work requires no more education, training, applica tion, endurance and intelligence than nursing does. Gratefully,' , R. N. Now listen to a part of the letter of the mother of a pupil nurse: Dear Dr. Brady: ! ... your article , . . you did not go far enough. In one of tbe largest and most expensive hospitals In - the first year girls are given night duty on an etnlre night floor until they are Just about dead when morning comes.

Brady, M. D. training course la three years. Two years, as any honest physician knows and will agree If he la not getting his out of the racket somewhere, Is ample time to train any reasonably Intelli gent young woman In the essentials of nursing to make her a good, com petent nurse for general practice. The third year is merely a year of nursing service the hospital gets for nothing. Were it not for this racket hospitals would have to pay nurses for that year of professional service. That explains why certain politicians In the medical profeslon who are getting graft out of the racket, or prestige or practice, and even certain nurses who get soft executive or clerical Jobs out of It, are so Indus trious in agitating for "higher" stan dards of training for nurses. I know three year nurses and I know two year nurses. Practically there Isn't any difference between them, except that the three year onea are a little more likely to harbor tin doctor ideas which tend to spoil a good nurse. Again I warn girls who contemplate the study of nursing to beware of this shameless exploitation of pupil nurses in the swanky hospitals.

KAM SUCSS0B imw soiui Comment on the Day s News By FRANK JENKINS BARNEY CHAMBERS arrived In the Southern Oregon country some years ago, In these 30 years, his hobby has been collecting relics, and he haa an Interesting lot of them. One is a vertebrae from a whale, which was taken from the chalky banks of a big canal over east of the mountains when it was being dug. Barney sent it back to the Smith sonian Institution, In Washington, describing the area where It waa found, and received a letter admit ting that it waa a part of the skele ton of a whale, all right, and express ing the option that It might have been carried in by Indians. The writer of that letter evidently didn't live here when that country waa a vast Inland sea, and so refused to believe that whales could have come In under their own power. A N OTHER of his relics Is a tooth from a prehistoric elephant and If the size of the creature may be Judged accurately from the size of the tooth it wouldn't have been an economical pet to own. A fair-sized haystack would have been Just a nice little appetizer for It. THE real thriller of Barney's col lection, though, is a strange-looking weapon It must be a weapon, for It is shaped so accurtaely to fit a hand made of stone, and shaped roughly like a cross. . It la about a foot long, and the arms of the cross are short not more then a couple of inches In length. Instead of being blunt, these arms are shaped down to a fine edge. It Is carefully made, the stone being worked down smooth. WHAT was ltusedfor? Well, Barney has an Interesting theory as to that. Not far from the spot where this odd-shaped Instru ment was found, he says, some 30 odd skulls were later uncovered In the course of an excavation, and In nearly all of these skulls were holes that looked aa if they might have been made with this curious cross shaped battle axe. BARNEY bought this weapon from an Indian, who said he found 1c near the spot indicated. Later, he showed It to Peter Sconchin (one of the Modoc Indians taking part In the Lava Beds battle), who hsd never seen anything like it, but offered the opinion that it must have been a weapon and owned by a chief. Well, If It was a weapon, and was owned by a chief, and If the skulls found not far faway were caved In with it, he must have been a short tempered chief, as well as a muscular one, and this writer Is Just as glad that he lived back in an earlier cen tury and isn't prowling around of nights now. He wouldn't have been a pleasant customer to meet up with when he was on the prod. (Continued From Page One.) or at least bruised, th local news paper editors.
