The men were recruited through

the expedition is guaranteed a pay of
approximately 80 cents a day-more

Vice in a Big City.

Chicago has another vice scandal States
Attorney Grove charges that the Thompson
administration is in league with the under
world and that gambling and prostitution are
flourishing in the Olden days The charges
have come as a result Of the suspension by
Chief of Police Fitzmorris of a member of the
police department who conducted raids under
direction of the states attorneys office
In all likelihood. if the truth were known
Chicago morally is no or no better than
it ever has been. 1t has all of the evils that
are found in a large city and the only time
the public is Haunted with review of CON
dition through the public prints is when there
is break between the law enforcement agen-
cies charged with the suppression of those
evils.
When the states attorneys office and the
police department of Chicago or of any other
large city, for that matter, working together
tremendously, the public does not know the
actual state of moral affairs. The two depart
ments have well defined duties in the premises
although if it so happens that the states attor-
ney wishes to take I hand in affairs that prop
erly belong to the police department he may
do so at his discretion. This appears to be
what has happened in the present instance in
Chicago.
States Attorney Grove has investigators
connected with his office that keep him in
formed. He could assume passive attitude
or he could cause the fur to fly. He seems to
have chosen 20 adopt the latter course Thus
he accuses Chief of Police Fftzmorris with
working hand in hand with all of the vicious
elements OF the underworld, and he has called
upon Mayor Thompson TO order a campaign to
clean up the city

authority that gives him the power to make il
uncomforta bic for the underworld interests of
Chicago and TO greatly embarrass the Thomp-
son administration If it sees fit 10 ignore his
charges.
The thing that will probably happen. as il
has happened before will be for the THOMPSON
administration to make at least a pretense at
bringing about the reforms demanded by the
states attorney. Then there will be a luII. and
in due time the vice interests will be back al
their old stands. 1t is humanity impossible to
entirely eliminate vice in a city the size of
Chicago, but it can be lessened, providing the
police authorities perform their duties i'm
partially. The trouble begins after a municipal
election. The vice interests always manage to
have a political pull and they exercise it to the
limit, managing to obtain a certain measure Of
immunity matter what ticket wins at the
polls.
Chicago can be made cleaner city than it
is today. but there is only one way that it can
be accomplished and that is through honest
cooperation of the law enforcement agencies
OF the city The members of the police depart
ment could round up the offenders OF the city
in "a hours if they were given the order Of their
chief to do So.

-Swedes are Healthy.

Sweden among the nations of the earth is
exhibiting signs Of life that, while they do not
promise large population, shog that it is
inhabited by vigorous people and that it is
becoming gradually a self-contained and self
contented nation. The vital statistics for
Sweden for 1920 just made public by the gov
eminent, being put forward by enthusiastic
inhabitants proving that the Scandinavian
country is the healthiest place on earth.
Swefens population, which approximates the
six million mark. showed a gain of $4,000 last
year-the greatest gain reported for a century.

record. and by far the best reported in any land

Must Disarm Our Hearts.

General Diaz, the noted Italian, who is on
tour of the United States, gave out the follow
ing statement the other day:
I'VE must disarm our hearts as we'll as our
armies before there be successful con-
clusion to the disarmament conference before
world peace can become an accomplished fact
This is a message that will bear repetition
Our nation, our people, are happily freer from
inherited animosities, blood feuds and ancient
grudges than are the peoples of the old world
and, fortunately as there feelings of bitter
ness are brought into this country by immi-
grants. they are generally tempered by years of
residence here. The World war proved, how
ever, that they can in a measure. be revived
especially when radical propag andists start out

national prejudices and instil hatred into
normally peaceful and kindly hearts. And the
weak and emotional fall easy victims to these
prea chments. For years, in this country, there
have been teachings of distrust and hatred of
of our own early struggles; some OF it has
been imported from overseas and assiduousy
fostered here
To those who foster these feelings TO those
who fall victims to these teachings no better
advice be given than that of the Italian
warrior. For countless years the peoples of
the world have resorted to war not only for

able to read the lesson. Then why preach the
armament of hearts, which is hatred?

The Hunter and the Farmer.

More men are hunting than ever before, and
more private properties of large and small
extent are posted against hunters Nobody can
blame the farmer who thus closes his domain
to the man with a gun. Some hunters are
skilful with a weapon, careful where they
shoot. good sportsmen in obeying the laws and
careful about undue trespassing. II only such
men went hunting the farmer would not post
his property with no hunting" placards.
The trouble is that many men who are all
the contrary things go out TO hunt. They never
ask permission. They handle their guns badly
and casualties occur sometimes in the farmers
family to his stock. They are game hogs.
ruthless in their destruction of property, and
generally undesirable visitors These are
the boys who have discredited the hunting
game The property owner who posts his
woods and fields is generally referred to as
mean" As a matter of fact he is usually
good natured, generous soul who has been
forced to protect himself against meanness in
others.

For Better Trees.

Four hundred acres of fine land west of
Chicago is to be planted with trees. not to be
cut, but to be looked at. Announcement is
made that Joy Morton. who has seen the Uhline
trees at Lake Geneva. the Kew gardens in Lon
don and the Arnold >arboretum in Boston, has
given this great tract OF his estate at Downer's
Grove west of Chicago, and will establish an
arboretum there for the education of the youth
and the delight of the public.
An arboretum is botanical garden Of trees
where the trees are grown for their scientific
value and study. as well for their beauty In

The Purpose OF the Appendix.

A recent furry of queries con-
corning the purpose of the appen-
dix vermiformis in the human
anatomy suggests that this depend
able indicator is still functbning,
although like the summoning of
trained nurse, it is no longer a
feature of the society column. The
only person who boasts about the
extraordinary features of the ap-
pendix nowadays is the one who
carries the organ preserved in
germicidal serum in an hermetic-
ally sealed peritoneal cavity.
When, or if, God endowed the
highest, in some ways, member OF
His mammals with an appendix no
doubt He had an inscrutable reason
for comforting this boon, but being
inscrutable the reason has never
been fathomed by any of the mann
mails. although some members OF
the filmed vertebrates known as
sharks purport TO have scrutinized
the inscrutable; they assure US the
appendix is the oil can of the ALI
mentary machine, and many pisca-
torials commonly called suckers Gf
you will pardon the crudity). &C
cept this notion as perfectly plaus-
ibIe.
The appendix. however, is huge
failure as an oil can. In fact. L
don't believe the Creator intended
it for any such purpose, for if He
had He would have placed it in a
more strategic position to function.
Imagine an automobile engineer
placing the oiIing system on lit
tie trailer to be dragged after the
car. And imagine him eQuipping
the thing with an oil tank or reser-
voir holding one-ifth of a tea
spoonful of oil. No. with many
thousands of other fortunates who
have sacrificed their oiling sys-
tens. I'll tell the world there's
nothing to it. The old alimentary
machine does much better without
this alleged lubricator than ever it
did when the appendix was on the
job 1t must be that some clutches
work better without oiling.
Is appendicitis more frequent
nowadays than it was so years ago,
or is it merely more frequently di-
agnosed, or is it more widely ad-
vertised? The answer to this is
yes. II is. We have better news
papers and better communication,
better physicians and more intelli-
gent patients, and less wholesome
food habits.
Less wholesome is just right.
Refined white -four bread is less
wholesome than graham or whole
wheat -four bread. Together with
other modern evils of the diet it
probably offers the conditions and
environment which favor bacterial

Child With Yaricose Veins.

Please advise me what to do for
nv son. He has varicose veins and
two very bad sores resulting there
from. Is there any treatment
which will heal the sores? He is
81 years old, and l am 50. Please
excuse poor writing. MRS. S. D.
Answer-Generally complete rest
in bed with the leg elevated is the
first essential in healing varicose
ulcers. In many cases dressings of
fluid yeast for several days will
clean up the ulcer and put it in
fair condition to heal. I cannot lay
down any directions applicable in
all such cases, but they may all be
made to heal, except a very few
cases in which the epithelioma
Zone type of cancer) has developed
in the site OF the ulcer. (Ulcer, by
the way, means any raw surface
from which the skin is missing.l
The chief difficulty is that victims
experiment with this or that alleg-
ed healing salve, though no salve
or other application deserves such
a name, instead of placing them
selves under intelligent medical
care

It begins to look though America is the
only power represented at the Washington con-
ference that is sincerely for disarmament. The
others continue to cast suspicious eyes at each
other. For instance. Premier BRAND of France
says that disarmament of France would end
world peace and would be a temptation for
Germany to come back into power. Just so
long as neighboring powers remain in that
frame of mind there will be possibility of
permanent world peace. 1t was President
Wilson who said that the way to prevent war
was for all other nations to line up against the
one initiating trouble. And time will prove
that Wilson had the correct solution.
