Science

Dr. H. H Rusby, of Columbia Uni
versity. returned recently from South
American jungles, broken in health,
but with the solution Of a mystery
that will mean life for many persons.
During flu epidemics doctors tried
desperately to find something that
would allay the serious cough that
generally was part of the disease.
Cocillana finally was found to be Of
great value and 1t came into general
USE But sometimes 1t worked and
sometimes it didn't. The medicine is
made from the bark OF .ree growing
in South American forests. Further
Investigations showed that there was
a difference in the bark from which 1t
was made. This accounted for the
fact that 1t was sometimes ineffective.
A large expedition, under the leader
ship of Dr.. Rusby, was sent to find
out just which trees should be used.
The expedition encountered many
liardships but it was successful. 1t
brought back samples of the medicinal
trees as we'll as similar ones not hay
ing the necessary properties.

Fragrance
By BERTON BRALEY

BY BERTON BRADLEY
There's a pleasant smell to roses
And to various other posies,
And l like the smell Of spices
oriental;
And the tresses of q maiden
With a subtle perfume laden
Have a scent that always makes me
sentimental;
But I'm frank enough to whisper
That when days are growing
crisper
And I'm glad to add a vest to my
adjoining,
Then the smell which greatly
thrills me
Then with zest and gusto fills me
Is the smell of eggs and bacon in
the morning.
When my body l have laven
(Bathed, in other words)-and
shaven,
I still suffer, oftentimes, from semi
coma;
For 1t takes me long to waken,
But the eggs and sizzling bacon
Have a tonic and q kick in their
aroma,
So though percolated Java
May, and certainly DOES have
Joyous fragrance which I'm very far
from scorning,
Yet Of all the scents I've scented
Quite the noblest one invented
Is the smell Of eggs and bacon in the
morning!

sioners in Albania to the League of
Nations, Italy's act was certainly
stab at the heart of the league.
Did 1t reach that heart? Did Mus
solini destroy the League of Nations
when he broke Italy's plighted faith
and repudiated the league as a tri-
bunal in the quarrel between these
two nations?
We have now had time to begin to
come to a correct decision as to this.
The answer seems to be that Italy
struck a vicious blow, but that the
league survived. The stroke of Mus
solini did not reach its heart
Yields to Opinion
Italy refused to accept the good
offices of the league and the league
did not press the matter But even
Mussolini was impressed by the erup-
ton Of public condemnation of his
falsehood and brutality all over the
world He yielded somewhat. He al
lowed the matter to go before the
Council Of Ambassadors.
This is no part Of the League Of
Nations, nor is the League a part of
the council; but after refusing the
arbitration Italy had agreed upon in
the treaty, he did accept arbitration.
The public opinion of the world
forced from him this concession and
saved Europe from a war which would
have been raging by this time. But
was the League psralyzed by the re-
pudiation by Italy Of Italy's own word
and of the authority OF the Lacquer
Most people seem to think so. Yet. as
matter of fact. the council of am
bassadors really acted as a substitute
for the League in making the de-
cision.
Still Powerful Force
The fact is, the Mussolini attack
did not kill the League of Nations. 1t
still was the greatest force in settling
the very question which Italy refused
to submit to 1t. And 1t now seems
likely that this survival will make it
stronger than ever. 1t has received
the severest punishment II ever had
in this contest; but ii is still on it's
feet and dealing as we'll as ever with
the everyday international problems
of the world.
AS for the Mussolinis of the world
they may not as lightly challenge it's
claim again as did their chief in Italy
He found there is a world opinion with
which the repudiator of treaties must
reckon. and this world opinion is what
keeps the League of Nations alive and
enables It to survive such dagger
thrusts as his.

A man just arrested for bigamy says
he can't remember whether he had
married 100 women or not" Many a
man will envy him his capacity for
forgetting.
The signs of the times in Europe
must all be detours.
The cost of living has dropped three
eighths Of one per cent in New Eng
land. But even at that 1t isn't
worth 1t.
A Boston boy stole and sold his
mothers $4,000 diamonds for cents.
Not a bit like a Pilgrim father.
1t is claimed the reduction in the
price of gasoline saved the motorists
of the country $40, 900, 900, and that Is
enough to make them caresless of
traffic laws.

- HE farmer for years had been
content to take whatever was
- handed him in the way OF
governmental pap. He was like
sleeping giant, unconscious of the
power and influence he possessed.
Suddenly he discovered he had a
mighty weapon in his hands in the
shape of the ballot box and he has
been using it with ruthless determine
ton ever since.
He is not through. He will continue
to use 1t until he is sure he is being
given the Square deal" he talks
about.
The farmer isn't red-shirt, com
munist or violent radical. He is
sound in his political theories and gov
ernmental loyalty. He realizes the
Government is not going to solve the
problem alone without some help from
the farmer, and that legislation. at
the most, is but an aid to remedy.
But he does feel the Government has
not protected him as it should.
Vote Was Protest
The farmer voted for Frazier, Ship
stead, Johnson and Brookhart as a
protest against conditions. He voted
for these men because they talked his
language. sympathiZed with him,
seemed TO understand and heed when
no one else would listen.
They were different from the ordi-
nary candidates for office. with whom
the farmer was thoroughly Disguised.
That appealed to the farmer be-
cause he was tired of bosses, tired of
the pledges and promises made and
not kept. He wanted a new deal. an
opening to register his feelings and
make known his demands.
All Behind BrOOkhart
The situation in Iowa is typical.
Senator Brookhart will come up for
reelection next year. Nothing short
of a genuine catastrophe can prevent
his reelection. Practically every
farmer in Iowa is behind him to
man.
We're afraid a corporation man

low"
Bitter and scurrilous attacks on

only strengthen the farmers faith in
them. The farmer interprets such as
saults as a personal attack on him
and assumes a defensive position.
Only Leadership Offered
II there are some who harbor the
opinion the farmer is following
strange leaders, it must be remem-
bered this is the only kind of leader
ship offered him with any semblance
OF sincerity or effectiveness.
Outside Minnesota, farmers of the
Middle West are not disposed to make
q hard and fast alliance with labor.
They feel, fundamentally, the interests
OF tho farmer and laborer are inimicaI.
The farmer wants TO sell for as high
price as he can get and the laborer
wants to get the products of the farm
at as low a figure as possible.
Even In Minnesota, the farmer-labor
party. while strong at the moment. is
bound together more or less loosely
and It is doubtful II It can ever be es.
tablished on a permanent basis. The
farmer Is normally an intense par
tisan and he would very much prefer
to work through the old parties,
rather than pioneer in a new political
field.
