Ask Your Congressman This One Why does our Government, making the rules under which we 115,000,000 people live, assume, as it seems to, ttjat only a military man can be a hero or shed great luster on our country? We ask this because Lindbergh offers us a dazzling example of a mere civilian performing a deed of valor unsurpassed by citizen, soldier or sailor in all our history. Yet being a civilian he was not strictly eligible for the distinguished flying cross honor conferred upon him. Lindbergh only got the D. F. C. because his feat was so epochal, so everlastingly breath-taking that a precedent had to be created in his fa\or. Ever hear of James Carroll? Or Jesse Lazear? Or Dr. Cooke? Or W. G. Jernegan? Or L. E. Folk? Or John J. Moran? Each of these is a national hero, but unsung. Who even so much as remembers ever hearing their names? For years, the dreaded Yellow Jack had been taking its toll by thousands in our fairest cities. Sometimes the epidemics were so bad that not enough living were left to bury the dead. Horror stalked the countryside and people fled in terror. Havana, Cuba, became a shambles, and down in where the French were digging a canal, workers died like flies until engineers there gave up the job in despair. Along came Walter Reed—another comparatively unknown American hero who deserves the highest honors a grateful people could bestow—who with a commission, figured that mosquitoes were responsible for the disease. To make sure, he volunteered to let the varmints bite him. But he was considered too old. Carroll and Lazear, two of his younger assistants, insisted the test would be more conclusive if they were bitten. And they were. Carroll was'stricken and he suffered the tortures of the damned before he recovered. Lazear, similarly stricken, died. It looked as if the theory was right. Still one could not be absolutely sure. Perhaps contact with patients or their garments might cause infection. To see if this was true, two beautifully clean rooms were prepared, one screened to keep out the mosquitoes, the other to pen them in Facing a horrible death, Jernegan and Folk, two privates, and Dr. Choke went to live in the mosquitoless room, but into which the soiled garments of yellow fever cases had been thrown in profusion, sleeping between sheets from beds in which p&tients had died. For three weeks they lived, literally face to face with death, never knowing what moment would find them writhing in the grip of the Yellow Jack. They emerged alive and well. Meantime, in the other room, John J. Moran had voluntarily locked himself up with mosquitoes which had previously bitten fever patients. He died in torture, but as gloriously as any leader who ever charged for God and country at the head of ? forlorn hope. Did any of these men receive medals for their deeds? Not that we ever heard of. They saved millions of lives. They gave us the Panama canal. But we seem to have had no way of honoring them. The widows of those who died, we are told, received $1,500 pensions, but those who survived their acts of heroism went their way into oblivion. That was not right. We want no orders or decorations which politicians can deal out to people with a pull. But there ought to be some national award for men like these, whether civil or military, and without regard for rank or station. It’s the democratic thing to do. } Ex-Service Men, Attention! After July 2 it will be too late to convert your Government life insurance policies, issued during the war, into permanent policies. Any insurance man will tell you that this is sound insurance. It has been indorsed by the Association of Life Insurance Presidents. Yet the cost to ex-service men is about 25 per cent less than other insurance. If your age is 35 you can obtain a SI,OOO policy by paying $20.08 a year, or $1.70 a month. This is an opportunity not to be overlooked, but it will expire within a month. r Market Cussedness Here’s what makes the corn belt farmers wild. Itt’tst the eternal cussedness of corn and hog prices, as reflected in the United States Agriculture Department announcement today that “hog prices are the lowest since December, 1924, and 32 per cent lower than a year ago.” A year agoi the farm price of corn was low — 67 cents a bushel. Many a corn belt farmer resolved to convert this low priced corn into pork. It certainly looked like a good idea. The price of hogs was high—almost sl2 a hundred on the farm. Today the results of this “foresight” are being recorded. The market is flooded with corn-fed hogs, and the price steadily declines. And the price of corn which the farmers sought to improve by converting it into hogs, is steadily rising, it’s 73 cents a bushel now as opposed to 67 cents a year ago. The corn belt farmers would jump at a chance to reconvert some of their holdings into corn. It can’t be done.

To the Editor: I really believe the benefit of whisky as a medicine or used instead of some other remedy is very doubtful, indeed, and have been convinced of this ever since the death of my wife, when it was used. I don’t know that it hastened her death, but am certain it did not save her, and do not believe 1 it really ever did save the life of any one that could not have been saved by other meant. Most of us can imagine and believe almost anything when it is our desire to do so. I imagine your cup rs joy would bubble over if you could only prove

that Captain Lindberg’s jug contained whisky instead of water. It has been my personal observation and experience that the ones who use the cool, refreshing beer or invigorating whisky tailed the procession in the evening of a bicycle century. So far as personal liberty is concerned, every one should have the right to think and say what he chooses, but at the same time he should beman enough and true enough not to do and say the things that might be carried far enough to be injurious to others. Even for money I do not believe a publication should print a picture of a

Laborers Become Capitalistic The old wall against capitalism, the wall that it was an inhuman monster with a fe-fi-fo-fum complex to grind up human bodies, has been silenced in this country in recent years in a most unusual way. It has been silenced by a chain of circumstances which has tended to make labor a part of capital itself. One evidence of this is seen in the growing popularity of the financial pages of American newspapers. There are more and more people reading the financial and business news, which means that more and more people are interested in matters with which only bankers used ter be familiar. Average citizens now have their stocks and bonds as well as the ultra rich. The history of this situatiop is not hard to trace. One factor which no doubt did much to increase the number of investors was the Liberty loans of the war. Up to that time, It is probable that a good many people did not know quite what a bond was. Owning one or two, seeing how pretty they were, and getting the thrill of clipping a coupon and getting interest —something for nothing—introduced untold thousands to an elementary lesson in high finance. Bond houses took up the work after the Liberty loans w'ere over, gave employment to surplus college graduates who might have started to death but for the growth of the bond business, and so the gospel was spread still further. The next step was the growth of the employeownership policy. Certain large corporations, realizing the value of having their stock owned by employes, made arrangements whereby workers might buy stock on the partial payment plan. Under this policy, the lowest office boy or roustabout might claim a percentage of ownership in “his” company, the same as the president of the corporation or the chairman of the board of directors. All this served to acquaint large numbers of laborers with stocks. Having a knowledge of stocks and bonds, your humble citizen could now- look to the financial pages to see how “his” stocks or bonds were doing. The word dividend has been added to the laborer’s vocabulary, and having already acquired knowledge of “coupons,” he is in a fair way of becoming on a small scale, a capitalist. / The Farmers Resent .. ' J President Coolidge’s raid on the * Farm Loan Board—for that is how' the farmers regard the appointment of the new members, including the new chairman, Eugene Meyer—is proving another burr under the saddle to the "farmers. Once more the Senate and the President will battle over the confirmation of the appointments. At the farmers’ conference in Des Moines held May 17 and 18, at which representatives of thirtyfour farm organizations ’had their say, it was resolved: “We protest with every ounce of our po ver against the appointment of Eugene Meyer as head of the Federal Land Bank System, as well as the selection of the two other gentlemen named to this board. These selections were made against the protest of the farmers who own these banks and it is our firm conviction that these appointments were not made in the interest of the farmers or of their banking institutions, but to carry out a program inimical to the best interests of the farmer, and to hamper the proper functioning of these institutions in furnishing proper and necessary credit facilities to the farmers of the country. We call upon the Senate to refuse confirmation of these appointments.” The purpose of the President in appointing Meyer, as the farmers understand it, is to bring the board and its resources directly under the head of Mr. Mellon. The Farm Loan Board is now being used as a stop-gap for flood rehabilitation, to avert the calling of Congress in special session. We saw a picture the other day of the 15,000,000th Ford. There must be some mistake. We counted 15,201,636 of them last Sunday. A girl won a national oratorical contest. It’s nice to know the ladies are learning to talk a little. Too many boys are training for the w-hite collar jobs, says a professor. Well, somebody has to do that kind of menial labor.

Fire broke out in the top of a mans house. When the fire department arrived it found the fire hydrant surrounded by a pile of curb stones being used by city employes in repairing the street. It took fifteen or twenty minutes to remove the stones and got the water connected. By that time the fire had made so much headway that it destroyed the house. The man sued the city for damages, claiming that it was negligent in blocking the fireplug so that it could not be used promptly. The city said that in furnishing water and fire department service it did not accept responsibility for the efficient performance of these services, and that it could not be held for the neglect of itS workers in blocking the fire hydrant from use. HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE? The actual decision: The Supreme Gourt of North Carolina held that the city could not be held to pay damages for the loss of the house. It said that in providing means for extinguishing fire?, “it incurs no civil liability, either for the inadequacy of equipment or negligence of its employes.”

Rif Sayt: Flight Around World in Fifteen Days Is Dream That Dazzles Imagination, Stirs Wonder as to Where Man Will Stop.

By M. E. Tracy Leigh Wade w'ill attempt to fly around the world in fifteen days, if he can get a backer. This is quite the most ambitious performance yet conceived, and its very boldness i/.iouid bring forth the needed support. * Half a century ago, Jules Verne was considered a hopeless visionary when he wrote “Around the World In Eighty Days.” Twenty-five years ago children were taught that a carrier pigeon could go around the world in three weeks if it could last that long, which, of course, it couldn’t. The idea that an airplane, or any other kind of contrivance, can complete the journey in little more than two weeks takes one’s breath aw r ay. About, the only filing left for the imagination to play with is the idea that man will mount a streak of lightning or radio wave and circle the globe before his shadow has had time to leave the starting place. New Murder Defense A Swiss murder trial has been halted because the accused, a young man of 23, nametT Dahler, who strangled a rich old woman, claimed that he committed the crime while under the influence of hypnotism. According to his story, he had fallen under the spell of Joseph Walthier, a professional hypnotist, and had been instructed to kill three rich women, of whom this was the first. He gave the judge the names and addresses of the other two prospective victims and the judge was so impressed that he not only halted the trial, but issued an order for the extradition of Walthier, who now is in Paris. Moral Sense Immune Ever since Alexander Dumas wrote his famous series of novels around the life of Joseph Balsamo, it has been a mooted question as to how far a person could be influenced by hypnotism. People of a morbid turn have imagined that hypnotism could be used to accomplish almost any end. and have visualized it as the cause of more than one brutal crime. Most scientists have held that while a person could be made to sleep and do unusual and ridiculous things under the influence of hypnotism. deep moral convictions were immune, and that no one could be made to commit crime unless he naturally were inclined that way. If it turns out that Walthier hypnotized Dahler, and that Dahler committed murder while under the spell, the question is bound to arise as to whether one was more guilty than the oßier and that question goes to the very foundation of psychology. History May Repeat European statesmen are trying to bottle up the Russian revolution just as they tried to bottle up the French revolution 135 years ago. If history repeats itself even to a partial extent, we are in for a more stupendous drama than the World War. The reaction of revolutionary France to the coalitions and boycotts formed against her was a frerlzy of patriotism that leaped all barriers and brought forth Napoleon. Driven to one of the most hectic examples of self-defense ever recorded, the French people became so excited with victory that they carried fire and sword throughout Europe. The Russian people are more phlegmatic, but not to such.extent that they cannot be aroused in the same way. Civilization Menace • If Europe drives Bolshevism to battle, as it now seems bent on doing, and if the ensuing crisis produces a first-rate military genius, we shall see such an era of strife and conflict as may effect the bedrock of civilization. The war would be In Asia, of course, where methods of Ghengis Khan would be more adaptable even in t thig modern day than would those of Foch or Hindenburg. We look on Asia as big but unimportant. chiefly because it has been held in subjection by western governments. It contains half the population of the world, however, and perhaps quite as large a proportion of the world’s resources. Who dominates Asia in the years to come is likely to play a leading role in human affairs. Flood Control The problem of how to control the Mississippi is one for engineers to solve, but the problem of how to get the necessary funds is one for statesmen. It will be much easier to get plans* than to get the money. Engineers have been thinking about this matter a good while, but those who form public opinion have not. TL'j greatest difficulty involved is that, except in those regions affected by the Mississippi, the people have only a vague conception of what the loss has been and what it means to the nation as a whole. The real obstacle to flood control will be made only when jCongress has been asked to authorize the huge appropriations required and when the general lack of understanding manifests itself in the cry of “pork.” Who said “Millions for defense, not a cent for tribute?” A treaty with England made by John Jay threatened to involve the United States in war with France. Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, Ameri can minister to France in 1796, was refused recognition by the directory, who threw out hints that money offered by the United States might haVe a favorable effect. He replied with the above. *

My answer slip reads: No. 13 West should pass. No. 14. West should bid one Spade. No. 15. West should bid one Spade. No. 16. West should bid ona Trump. ’ . My reasons in support of declarations are: .A No. 13. Exactly one quick but no more; a following bid guarantees more strength than one trick. To approve following bids with any less strength than original bids opens the door as widely as wisdom permits, and the conventional mini* mum should be rigidly observed. No. 14. The King of Hearts affords the strength needed in addition to the Ace at the head of five Spades. No. 15, While all suits are stopped, the Heart is stopped only once so the live Spades, even al. though headed by “Ace nothing,” should be bid in preference to No Trump. With this hand a Dealer could properly bid a No Trump, but after an adverse Heart it is not advisable. No. 16. With the adverse suit stopped twice, every other suit stopped once, and the five-card Major headed by only one honor, bid No Trump. Today's hands again are held by West, South having bid one Heart: scoro love-all, and the question is what West should declare in each case.

A plea from a west side resident to aid in the muzzling of a dog was received today by Mr. Fixit. The resident complained that the dog, owned by a citizen on Hardin* St. near Twenty-Third St., had bitten several persons and continued to run wild. Dear Mr. Fixit: This dog has torn several gooiL hose for me and I, as well as marA others, would certainly appreciate ir if you could do something to have this dog tied up so we won't be. fearing our lives every time we pass the place. TWENTY-THIRD ST. RESIDENT. Capt. George Stone informed Mr. Fixit that the writer of the letter may file a warrant against the owner for harbornig a vicious dog. Possibly a warning to the owner would evade a court fight. Dear Mr. Fixit: Is the 1400 block on W. Twenty-Third St. in the city limits? We have never been able to get garbage collection although we have regulation cans. The man comes to the beginning of the alley and that is as far as he goes. Anything you can do would be appreciated. WEST SIDE RESIDENT Truly Nolan, collection superintendent, informed Mr. Fixit he would see that you get collection.
