DUBLIN CLERIC SEES HUMOR IN NAPOLEON SAGA Archbishop Even Doubted Great Corsican Lived in Old Book. Poked away in a corner at the It:- . ir. • . Public Library 13 a lit-tle-read. book, ‘Historic Doubts Relative to Napoleon Bonaparte,’’ wri .ten many years ago. in an ironic, eKeprical manner by Richard Whateiy. then Archbishop of Dublin. Librarian Luther Dickerson says that the book is the most amusing in the large library collection on Napoieon. The archibshop begins, a would Philosopher Hume, by doubting the very fact that there was such a nicrson as Napoleon. There have been many miracles reported in the history of the world, but should we be so credulous to believe them all, then can we then believe ail the extreme, conflicting sagas of Napoleon—so points out Whately, not without reason. Too Many Miracles Summer travelers who visited Franc r for a few weeks, spent com- j fortably in hotels, and newspaper writers, who picked up every as- i founding rumor, are responsible for the legendary figure that has come to be known as Napoleon, Arch- j bishop Whately says. In one place the book says: ‘ Another peculiar circumstance in the history of this extraordinary personage is that, when it is found convenient to represent him as defeated, though he is by no means defeated by halves, but involved in much more sudden and total rum than the personages of real history usually meet with, yet, if it is thought fit he should be restored, it is done as quickly as if Merlin's rod lead been employed. Many Reverses Keeailed ‘ Ho enters Russia with a prodigious army, w hich is totally ruined oy an unprecedented hard winter (everything relating to this man is prodigious and unprecedented ). Yet. m a few months, we find him intrusted with another great army in Germany. This is also totally ruined j at Leipsic, making, inclusive of the Egyptian, the third great army thus | totally lost. "Yet, the French arc so good-! natured as to furnish him with another sufficient to make a formidable stand in France. He is, how'over, conquered, and presented with the sovereignty of Elba (surely, by the bye, sbme more probable wa" might have been found of disposing him. till again wanted, than to place him thus on the very verge of his ancient dominions). ‘“I hen he returns to France, where he is received with open arms, and enabled to lose a fifth .great army at Waterloo. Yet, so eager were these people to be a sixth time led off to destruction, that it was found necessary to confine him in an island seme 1000 miles off. and to quarter foreign troops upon them, 1 lid make an insurrection in his favor. Do yea, believe all this, and yet refuse to believe a miracle?” Huniing of Moscow Archbi hop Whately sarcastically picks ou in idents reported to have been it Li of Napoleon and explodes them harmlessly into thin air. He accuses several travelers, who claimed that they had been imprisoned for several months by Napoleon of merely evading their collectors or wives for those months and coming back with a fine tale to explain their absence. The book asks why Napoleon, who Is said to nave been such a great man. lowered himself to bother with a few inconsequential travelers who were no concern of Ms ow n. Commenting upon the burning of Moscow by the Russians during Napoleon's occupation, the writer says that Napoleon saw so much smoke and flames that he did not n iliae that the city was not burning but that .1 wooden stockade surrounding the city was ablaze. No man’s life is long enough to have done 11 the things Napoleon is supposed .0 have done: no man’s mental makeup is expansive enough to hold all (he furious emotions.one of extreme cowardice and the other of highest bravery, accredited to Napoleon—thus does the Archbishop of Dublin polish of! the great Corsican.

Be Sensible about the FLU

With every epidemic of influenza comes an epidemic of advice. But if you have the flu—or you even suspect its presence—there’s just one thing to do. Call a doctor immediately. There are, however, some simple and sensible precautions everyone should take at this time. Try to keep in good physical condition. Guard against colds or sore throat by avoiding contact with all coughers and sneezers. The germs of disease will often fasten upon the man or woman whose vitality has been lowered by a severe cold.

BILL TO SLICE PUBLIC DEBT.IS BEFORE HOUSE Richardson Measure Would Apply Collections from Delinquent Taxes. A bill which he claims will save Indiana taxpayers more than *7.500,000 through requiring collected delinquent taxes to be paid into a sinking fund for payment of the public debt, has been introduced in the House of Representatives by Rep. Henry J. Richardson Jr. <D., Indianapolis). The measure, prepared after two months research with tax Experts, requires that 75 per cent of all delinquent taxes of former years collected after Jan. 1, 1936, shall be de-

If you should catch a cold, Bayer Aspirin will help fight it. Keep a supply of these tablets in the house and take them according to directions at the first sign of any cold. Crush three Bayer Aspirin tablets in half a glass of water and gargle as directed, if there is any soreness of the throat. Be sure to use the genuine Bayer Aspirin tablets stamped with the Bayer cross. Above all, don’t delay calling your doctor if you have reason to suspect that you may have caught the flu.

posited in a delinquent tax sinking fund which would be created in all municipal corporations. The money would then be used exclusively to apply on tlue payment of outstanding bonds which are a direct obligation of counties, townships and cities. Beginning with 1936. budget makers would be prohibited from taking into consideration in the making of budgets the unpaid taxes, excepting current delinquencies. "The amount of unpaid taxes has reached the surprising total of $24,000.000, of which more than $4,000,000 is in Marion County alone.” Rep. Richardson said in support of his bill. ‘‘At the same time we are going into debt every day for tnousands of dollars for poor relief, and we are making no provision whatever to make provision for the payment of this debt.” Civic League to Meet Matters of importance to residents and lot owners of the 34th-st and Sutherland-av area will be discussed tonight at a meeting of the Northeast Civic League at 8 in the Second Moravian Episcopal Church. 34th and Hovey-sts.
