IT IS disappointing to note that
a certain amount of shilly shal-
lying has crept into the Capone
case. Judge Wilkerson no doubt ex-
ercised his best judgement in post-
poning the case until September
but the effects of the uncompro-
mising attitude of the federal court
which characterized the proceed-
ings up until yesterday have been
.ost.
We had hoped that Gangster Ca-
pone would be speedily sentenced
and put out of harm's way and that
this action would have its tangible
effect on the activities of other
criminals. We continually forget
that legal machinery is ponder-
ous and that the administration of
it calls upon the utmost patience
of those on the outside as well as
those participating in it.
It is sincerely to be hoped, how-
ever, that the court will resume its
work with unabated zeal when the
case is again called and that the
the end result will justify the ac-
claim of the entire country.
RED CROSS
RESOURCES
UNDER its national charter the
Red Cross organization is bar-
red from assisting in unemploy-
ment, but Chairman Payne's recent
statement that individual chapters
may exercise their own judgment in
the matter makes it appear that
the activities of this great agency
may well be extended to include re-
lief work for the jobless.
Fifty cents from each member-
ship goes to national headquarters,
the remainder goes into the cof-
fers of local chapters. In some
areas frequently afflicted with
floods, droughts, and other calami-
ties likely to cause a heavy drain
on the funds of the local Red Cross
chapters, it is easily supposed that
chapter treasuriesare over-burden -
ed; in many other districts com-
paratively free from natural haz-
ards it is quite as easily assumed.
that some amount of unemploy-
ment relief could be carried on;
without serious detriment to chap-
ter finances._
Chairman Payne stated emphat-
ically that local chapters should
not involve national headquarters
in any steps taken in this direction,
and added that exhaustion of lo-:
cal resources would be a matter
only of local concern but this
should not discourage many chap-
ters from planning a reasonable'
amount of unemployment relief-
taking care always to maintain an
emergency fund for the type of'
work for which the organization
was primarily designed.j
The Red Cross has always been
known as an antidote for human
misery and it is therefore logical
to expect that the organization
should cooperate with other relieft
agencies in steps toward lesseningt
the great amount of sufferingc
caused by the depression. Local
chapters might not feel free in tak-(
ing too active a hand in the admin-f
istration of aid to those made des-r
titute by the financial slump; how-s
ever, a proper budgeting of localr
resources should yield a consider-r
able amount of money for thist
purpose.b

AN AERIAL
CONTEST
(New York Times)
Between the performances of the
world fliers and the Arctic voyage
of Dr. Eckener the choice is easy.
Boardman and Polando did make a
non-stop dash that probably broke
the airplane record and confirmed
the mathematical prediction of
French physicists that a plane car-
rying the maximum charge of fuel
can cover about 5,000 miles. Hern-
don and Pangborn, after battling
with headwinds and groping
through fog, landed in Wales and
pushed on. What if the record of
Post and Gatty is eventually eclips-
ed? The world learns little after
reading the old tale of mists that
obscure the ocean and make its
crossing something like a miracle.
Again the familiar conclusion must
be drawn that transatlantic avia-
tion can become a commercial re-
ality only when radio devices are
so far perfected that pilots may
thread their way through fogs au-
tomatically and unerringly.
The contrast between a dash
around the world and the Graf Zep-
pelin's performance is striking.
Eckener set out on a purely scien-
tific expedition carefully planned by
his sponsors, the Aeronautical Soci-
ety. After Peary and Byrd the Pole
lost much of the sentimental inter-
est that once clung to its attain-
ment. The German mission nar-
rowed down to the more useful task
of gathering new facts about the
Arctic.
Despite the fogs by which he was
beset, Dr. Eckener seems to have
carried out the program laid out for
him with almost military precision.
The Malygin was to be reached. He
settled down beside her, transferred
his mail exactly as prescribed, and
rose again because ice floes made
a protracted stay dangerous. Only
in meeting Professor Urantzev,
voluntarily marooned on an obscure
island, did Eckener fail, and then
because the atmospheric conditions
were against him.
But the wealth of geographic in-
.formation the Graf Zeppelin brings
back. The Northland territory
proves to be vaster than was sus-
pected-larger than Novava Zemva.
On Taimyr Penninsula is discovered
a mountain range which had es-
caped earlier explorers. As they
brush the clouds the scientists on
board the airship sweep thousands
of square miles with a glance. The
islands of Albert Edward and Franz
Josef Land stand out as they real-
ly are-parts of an enormous pen-
insula, although with what main-
land connected we have still to
learn. In a few hours is discovered
more of the unknown Arctic than
could be expected from years of
painful footwork. So the Graf Zep-
pelin returns, not with any broken
long-distance airship record, al-
though she must ha e covered over
5,000 miles, but with an intangible
treasure that justifies Dr. Eckener'
faith in her scientific uses.
THE BETTER
WAY
(The Daily Iowan)
Chicago teachers are, of course,
the first to point out that the pro-
posed reduction in their salaries
would not correct the fundamental
cause of the city's financial ills and
would assuredly lower educational,
standards. The teachers are per-
haps the only ones who will pre-
sent organized opposition to the
move, but what they say carries
more with it than the primary im-
pulse to save their salaries, and it
deserves reinforcement.
A resident of Iowa is in no posi-
tion to discourage such a move to
cut Chicago teachers' salaries two
and one-half per cent, but he may
be able to prevent the Chicago idea
from becoming an epidemic.
Schools are the natural enemy of
crime, crooked politics, dishonesty,
incompetence, and ignorance which
are combining to run Chicago into
the red. The practical weapon of
these forces is an outworn, inade-
quate system of taxation.
Thus, by cutting school expenses,
Chicago is seriously impairing ef-
ficiency of the insitutions which
must resort to inferior teachers and
at the same time neglecting tax
reform. Reversing the procedure
might work a temporary hardship
but would produce immeasurably
better results in the long run. And
it is for future generations that the
wisest people build.
Chicago may well serve as an ex-
ample to other communities that a
school systems should be the last

What this campus needs, it has
been pointed out, is a nice campan-
ile. A couple of years ago there was
a lot of agitation for one, and
everybody thought it would be a
slick thing to have, just sort of
standing around. But nothing was
done, and so we feel that it's high
time we revived the project.
We've had the Rolls staff artist
draw up a design, and herewith
submit it for the aproval of who-
ever has charge of building cam-
paniles on this man's campus.

A GENTLEMAN OF PARTS
By Flptsch Whoofle.
Part The First
Fitchworthy Potts stirred uneas-
ily in his slumber, knocking part of
it to the floor by accident with a
loud bang. The noise awoke him.
"Well," said Fitchworthy, for he
was that sort of a chap, "that's
odd. I could have sworn I saw a
man climbing in that window."
The bedroom door swung open
and in burst a lithe young maid of
some seventeen summers with just
the trace of a twinkle in her eye.
"Father!" she cried, flinging her-
self to the floor by the bed.
"Am I?" queried Fitchworthy rub-
bing his eyes, and then he added
lamely, "but you shouldn't have
come in like this just the same."
And then he limped over to the
piano.
" .... He limped over to the piano."
"But father," said the girl, "you
are my father-aren't you?"
"If only I knew,". he murmered
