Kenneth Barnard Speaks to

An outline of the work being done

campaign for better ethics in adver-
Using.
Some specific instances were namel
in the experiences of Mr.. Barnard in
connection with dubious advertising
and promotion schemes encountered
during the four years he was mana
ger of the Toledo Better business Com
mission. He deplored the unscrupu-
lOus methods employed by some bust
nesses to make money.
The small investor is not in n po-

Grafton is practice meeting with in

BILE medical journals. This mode of
treatment was discovered and has
been developed during the past few
years largely. by physicians of the
Rockefeller Foundation. A number
of doctors in San Antonio are using
this methcd. and for the past two
years it has been used with success
by medical officers of the station hos

Only such cases of diseased tonsils
in which there are no buried assesses
are suitable for the XSray. treatment.
In suitable cases. however, which are

20,000,00O PEOPLE
WILL READ ABOUT
SAN ANTONIO SUNDAY
Advertising Broadcast
Starts in Big Papers of
North and East.

The first of series Of sixten adj
vertisements in 90 leading newspapers
of the section of the country out of
which San Antonio draws most tour
lists appears in the issues of October
II, according to Jack O'Brien who
was Friday made official representa-
tive of the Greater San Antonio Pub
licity Committee in the matter Of fur
nishing news stories to all papers in
which the advertisements will ap-
pear.
Advertisements of San Antonio as
a place of exceptional business Op-
pOrtunities and as the Winter play
ground of America has been prepared
and publishers rates have been Sc
cured at the lowest figures possible.
Leading golf magazines will also
carry advertisements.
Clipping bureaus will be employed
to furnish clippings Of all advertise
ments and news stories that appear
in any papers in the country in order
that the people of San Antonio may
see what has been done in the way
of securing publicity, Mr.. O'Brien
said.
The campaign to raise a fund OF
100000 will continue till the full
amount is subscribed. according to
members of the publicity committee
A total OF S45. 800 had been reported
Saturday, and some large subscrip'
tions are expected before next We'd
ncsday Raymond Edwards was ap
pointed by the committee to pick out
all firms which have not been as lib
eral as they ought. These firms vii
be visited by special committees anC
asked TO raise their subscriptions.
The newspapers in which adver
tisements are being run have a com
bined circulation of 3.927.174. Esti
mating that five persons reach each
paper, it would mean that approx
mately 20,000,O00 will read each is
sue of the papers in which Sar
Antonio advertisements appear.

Preferred by Many.
The X-ray treatment is especially
welcomed by those who stubbornly re.

the choice of singers and elOcutiOn-
lists in whom the changing of the
contour of the throat structure by an
operation would likely result in a
change of voice tone.
1t was through treating tubercu-
lus infections in the throat by the
X-ray that it was discovered that en-
larged tonsils would respond to the
same treatment. The excess lymphoid
tissue in the tonsils is removed BY the
X-ray, and the glands are made to
resume their normal size. Critics of
this method believe that "if the "
ray will remove this excess lymphoid
tissue from diseased tonsils and re-
store them in whole or in part to their
normal state, so that their function
as guardians of the human economy,
rather than storehouses for infection.

plications which might result. The
however, is that after the tonsils have
been cured there is no assurance that
they will not again become infected
and diseased.
Results Not Permanent.
Both adults and children can be
treated by the X-ray. In adults. il
is said, satisfactory results can be
obtained from one or two intense
treatments, but as a rule. especially
with children, better results are OBJ
tanned by giving the treatment lightly
AID at frequent intervals.
One exponent Of the new treatment
has written:
at is too early to draw definite
conclusions as to the real efficacy of
the X-ray treatment of throat con-
ditions, or as to the permanency of
the results. Even with an apparent
cure of the case the tOnsils are still
present and liable to reinfection. /
do not believe that X-ray thereby will
ever become the method par excel
lence, to the exclusion of operative
measures for diseases of the throat.
The present-day technic of careful
preliminary study of cases makes op-
Grating a comparatively safe and sane
procedure. and the beneficial results
fully justify it, especially in children
in whom no contradiction to opera
ton exist. On the other hand. the
N-ray treatment has n large field of
in cases which are judged
TO be poor operative risks.

clared that promoters of questionable
enterprises often influence investors to

out consulting their bankers. Such
promoters make only one call; this
fact is impressed upon the prospect.

SPEED AND SAFETY

Most people, observing the dizzy speed at which
motorcycsts are given to speeding along the high
way, have wondered how any. of them survive. They
always to be in far danger than any other
class of travellers An English explanation may
throw light on the subject.
speed merchants, as the British call them, ap-
pear to be more common there than they are
here They are always dashing along the roads
swarms, attired in their leather jackets and crash
helmets And the fatalities few. The surprising
statement is made that there are fewer accidents
when the riders are going at high speed.
This immunity is said not to be due merely to the
fact that motorcycle like bicycle holds its course
better at high speed, the gyroscope principle but
to other factors connected with gravtation. Thus
race track spill at 45 SO miles an hour Is found
usually to mean serious injury and the hospital but
at 60 miles an hour the rider escapes with only few
bruises and at 80 miles "the tumber does not even
hurt himself"
doctor vouching for this statement explains that
at the high speed the rider shoots along quite dist
ance before he strikes the ground and when he does
strike he doesn't hit hard, but merely slides along
and rolls, whereas at slower speed he would get
hard bump. -
All this may be true fair, smooth road, with
out obstacles. But suppose the spilled rider hits
something while he's flying through the air or rolling
along! The explanation isn't altogether convincing
to Americans with all our love of speed.

ing a fifth attempt, according to a
record of their marriage license
filed with the county recorder to-

wives through the activities of the

BAIL FOR OTTO
REBER REDUCED:
NOW RELEASED

Otto Rebcr, assistant chief of po-
lice at Brawley, who had been in
Jail since Wednesday morning on 4
highway robbery charge preferred
by William Ivy, was released last
night by Judge NJ. w. Conkling on
$500 bail.
Early last evening, +. r. Simon
of Simon and Ellison, counsel for
Reber. made application to Judge
Conkling for Il writ of habeas cor
pus. The writ was granted and
made returnable Friday, June 20.
Pending the habeas corpus hearing,
the court set Reber's 5 bail at $500.
Following his arrest Wednesday by
Joseph Hardwick, chief of the Cal
exico police, Reber was arraigned
before Justice c. L. Markev 1t Cal
exico, who set his bail at $4,000 The
application for the habeas corpus
writ was based on the grounds that
the bail asked was excessive.
Chief of Police Verge of Brawley
announced late yesterday that he
had dismissed Reber as his assist
ant. He declared that this was not
done because of charges now on file
against Reber, and expressed his be-
lief of Reber's innocence, but de
clared that the latter had been visit
ing MeXicali too much recently and
the move was taken on that account.
Utley in Statement
In connection with the release Of
Otto Reber OF $500 bail by Judge
NJ. w. Conkling last night, District
Attorney Ernest r. Utley today is
sued the following statement:
81 am extremely disappointed in
Judge Conkling S action in rel ,as
ing Otto Rebcr on $500 bail.
pending the hearing on his writ Of
habeas corpus.
"Mr. Reber is charged with the
crime of robbery which is pun
ishable by Imprisonment in the
pcnitcntiarv not less than one year
This, of course, means a person con
victed of robbery could, under the
law, be compelled to serve the rest
of his life in prison. Of course,
Il person is presumed to be innocent
of the crime charged until that ore
sumption is overcome by competent
evidence and beyond reasonable
doubt.
"But for the purpose of fixing
bail, a defendant in a criminal ac-
tion is presumed to be guilty of the
offense charged. Considering the
seriousness of the offense with
which Mr.. Reber is charged, |
think the bail of $4,000 fixed by
Judge Markey to be extremely rea-
sonable in this ease and for that
reason | refused to consent to Il
reduction OF same.
"We cannot distinguish between
persons charged with crime with
out doing some one an injustice.

EXPECT OMINE
CASE TO REACH
JURY SATURDAY

Shortly before noon today, the de-
tense rested in thc case of X. Omine,
charged with the murder of H. Tam
alii at Imperial on June ;. Due to
the fact that Judge Conkling, who
is conducting both departments of
the superior court i'll Judge Cole s
absence, has a law and motion cal
endar this afternoon, he announced
that arguments in the Omine case
will open tomorrow morning at $50.
The trial has occupied the atten-
ton of the court for the past two
days. In that time the state has
sought to prove that Omine delib-
eratcly killed Tamaki, and to that
end produced several witnesses who
were present when Tamaki was
killed, though they admitted they
did not see The actual killing.
1t is believed that the case will
90 to the jury tomorrow morning
and that verdict will be obtained
shortly thereafter.

ANOTHER JAP ANGLE

From natural racial antlpathy to the Japanese
is born very logical suspicion: poisonous suspicion
that forever precludes genuine understanding and
a consequent genuine friendship. Of this the Japan
ese are aware AID also Yet we hide it behind
very shallow mask for the sake of insecure peace
No diplomatic utterances such those of Viscount
Ishii however we'll meant, will possess sufficient
antitoxc power to neutralize the mortal effects of
that suspicion The question is of course, too large
to be dealt with here in all its fullness. That aspect
of it only it affects Imperial Valley is the
Germ of these few lines
Every race, whose skin has been dScolored either
by the prefer to believe by Divine
Providence, that darkens shores at becomes
the subject of certain written and unwritten laws.
And these laws have been dictated by that suspicion.
In the Valley there is a law that cantaoupes must
not be shipped in green condition. that before ship
ment they must be approved by inspectors of the
Horticultural Commissioners office To date this
law has been broken exactly 25 times by 25 japanese
who have been fined $1,000. In cases, conviction
has failed to deter the offender from attempting
second infringement.
Some other drastic than fines must
be resorted in order to end these practices 1t is
up to US to act. The signing of the japanese anti
cropping bill by Governor Richardson will of
automatically iron out many of the present difficult
ties. For several years futile attempts have been
made to successfully include in Cooperative Mar
keting Association the membership of the growers Of
the Valley The responsibility for the failure of the
Association to materialize has been charged to the
Japanese. If however those interested in market

find evidence enough to lay the blame upon them
