HEFLIN'S DIGNITY

Through an error in computation Of
mental dimensions, The Washington Her
aid yesterday injured Representative Tom
Heain. Of Alabama, an injury which Mr..
Helm quite properly resented on the
floor of the House yesterday. when he
arose to a question OF personal privi-
lege and called The Herald's representa-
tive at the Capitol a ''hIckory-nut head. :"
or words to that effect for publishing
the statement mat he CMr. Hefiin) did
not know the civil war is over.
Had this paper thought for a minute
that Mr. Helms friends and constitu-
ents, OF, indeed, Mr.. Helm himself. could
harbor any doubts as to the truth of
the statement, or the spirit in which
IT was printed, the statement never
would have appeared. and therein lay the
error in computation. For believing that

The Boy Scout movement was ex-
planned in detail by James E. West
Chief Scout Executive. and Edgar s.
Martin, Scout Commissioner and Super
intendent of Fairgrounds. before the
executive council OF the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor at the opening of the
alton headquarters.
The speakers explained that the or
ganization was designed for the char
acter building Of the boy and the teach
ing to him OF self-help and helpfulness
to others. They declared that the
movement was not military in charac-
ter or tendencies, and that It was in
no manner hostile TO the aims and pur-
poses of organized labor.
The executive council was directed by
the Atlanta convention of the fedora
tion TO investigate the Boy Scout move
ment during the year and TO submit a
report at the next annual convention.
For the purpose Of procuring a basis
for the required report, the Boy Scout
officials were requested to appear before
the council yesterday. The matter was
taken up by the federation because sew
eral unions had condemned, the move
ment as antagonistic TO the principles
upon which organized labor is based.
Mr.. Duncan Detained.
At the opening Of the meeting yester-
day a telegram was received to the ef-
feet that Vice President Duncan would
reach Washington this morning. He
was unavoidably detained.
George W. Whitaker. secretary Of the
National Dairymen's Union, delivered an
address in opposition to the position
taken by representatives Of the manu-
facturers Of oleomargarine for a reduc-
ton of the tax on oleomargsrine when
colored. He asked the federation to in
dorse the protest.
President William H. johnson, OF the
International Association Of Machinists.
entered protest against the issuance of
a charter by the federation to the ma
chinists' helpers, contending that the last
convention Of the international associa-
ton extended its Jurisdiction so that ma
chinists' helpers are eligible to member
ship, and that such membership Is essen
tisl to the interests OF both machinIsts
and helpers.

Get Rid of Elastic Bands, Springs, and
Leg Straps. such Harness Has
Forced Thousands to Undergo
Dangerous Operations.

Dangerous Operations.
Trusses like those shown above-the
belt and leg-strap. elastic, and spring
contraptions sold by drug stores,
surgical supply houses and many self
styled Hernia Specialists"-make life
miserable for everybody who wears
them.
And-eveu when drawn SO tight you
can scarcely stand to keep them on
they do no good whatever.
Instead, they often do immense harm
they squeeze the rupture, often caus-
ing strangulation-dig into the pelvic
bone in front-press against the sensi-
tive spinal column at the back.
The Plain Truth IL This.
Rupture-as explained in our free
book-can't be relieved or scured-can't
even be kept from growing worse
unless constantly held in place. Just
as a broken bone can't knit" unless
the parts are held securely together.
And-just as a bandage or splint is
the only way a broken bone can be
held-the right kind of truss is the
only thing in the world that can keep
4 rupture from coming out.
What a difference IL will make when
you get that kind Of truss.
And you can get exactly that kind OF
truss-without risking a cent Of your
money.
It's the famous cluthe Truss or
Cluthe Automatic Massager.
Far more than a truss-far more
than merely device for holding the
rupture in place.
