ALBERT SPEAKS OF REGULARITY

4 1LBERT JEREMIAH BEvERIDGE, speaking at South
~ Bend Monday night made the plea his audience to
Coolidge Jackson because they the nominees of
their party.
Mr. Beveridge is inconsistent say the least If memory
fail Mr. Beverdge who intellectually
refused support the nominee of his party in 1922
Mr. Taft was nominee of the Republican party in that
year and if correctly informed Mr. Beveridge
among advised the late Theodore Roosevelt to be-
independent candidate and who then became his most
ardent booster in Indiana.
Mr. Beverdge makes the somewhat mudded remark that
if the party idea dead if party allegiance obsolete,
then follows that all Republicans should rally the coors
by whose hands the party majority has placed
the party ensign"
Has Mr. Beverdge learned this pretty speech since 1912
is he merely spiling political bunk7

Blindness

FIR OMORROW has been SET
apart by the Service Star
- Legion as Sacrifice day. Dur
ing which members of that organiza.
ton will solicit funds to help finance
the work among veterans blinded as
a result Of service in the World War
Blindness is one Of the greatest af.
flictions that can befaIl a person.
And the loss of sight surely and
quickly arouses the sympathy of
those more fortunate. The ready
hand OF a stranger is always extend
ed to guide a blind person aboard a
street car or across a crowded inter
section.
Such acts Of kindly sympathy may
be observed a dozen times a day in
the downtown rush.
They are prompted by the univer-
sal realization that the eye is more
in human economy than merely the
instrument with which to view
photoplays. 1t is the window of the
soul and the vehicle by which the
mind roams the world.
Deprived Of vision the mind and
soul are shut in darkened cham
bers, reduced to dependence on
others for all contact with the world
outside the human head.
Soldiers blinded in the war have
given their country a most precious
possession. That's the sunshine and
all it reveals.
If the Service Star Legion can
bring to them a bit of inward
brightness, Sacrifice day will be
their Sunshine day.

IIOosierisms
BY GAYLORD NELSON
JUDGE DELBERT o. VIII
METH Of the city court, has

1 NIL IL Oh lht CITY CpdA ~ AAoSo
= pursued a vendetta against
the professional bondsmen who
traffic in his court.
He recently assigned the probation
officer to duty at the city prison eve
nings to release on his own recog-
nizance a prisoner whose bond is not
in excess Of $400.
But this furnished the police gold
braid For the probation officer is
lOwly patrolman. So the action is
before the board Of safety.
The professional bondsman is not
a lovable character-but there Is a
reason for him.
A night in Jail is no diversion.
Most men want to get out of there
AT ONCE.
One with money or friends can
soon produce cash security and lib
erty. But a stranger or poor man
arrested in the shank Of the eve
ming may find a small cash bond as
impossible to raise as the national
debt.
To him the professional bondsman
has the aspect Of a true Samaritan.
For a fee-which the petty offender
can raise without bursting a fiscal
artery-he furnishes the bond.
And the prisoner walks out just
like a well-known or moneyed indi-
vidual
Judge Wilmeth's vendetta against
the bondsmen is profitless for these
small offenders unless it also pro
vides for their easy release.
Otherwise It's a professional bonds
man or a night in Jail for them

Scientists Find Brass
Safest for Saucepan

An important household question
the choice of a saucepan-has recently
been investigated at the municipal
laboratory of Helslngfors, Finland
Many kinds of metals and other ma
terlals are In use for the manufacture
of saucepans and other cooking uten-
sils, but owing to the solvent action of
some foodstuffs II is certain that chem
ical salts of the materials used are abb
sorbed to some extent by human be-
ings.
A test was made by boiling, for
three hours, two pounds of red cur
rants In number of saucepans of diff
ferent materials, and then, by chemical
analysis. finding how much of the
saucepans had been dissolved in the
food. says London Tit-Bits.
The best figure obtained was that
for brass, which was 300 times better
than enamel. Brightly polished brass
cooking utensils are used on a large
scale in the East
Copper, tin, nickel and aluminium
vessels were all found good, but iron
was found to be much more easily at
tackled by foodstuffs Tin, next to pol
ished brass, stood out as the best ma
terial for the lining of cooking uten-
sils.
