Mellon was the one man in the
original Harding cabinet who was
regarded as a total loss politically.
He was a big business man, heavily
interested in a string Of public util-
tiles, aluminium and previously in
distillerieS.
This popularity began to grow
with the first tax reduction plan
and although it was the Democratic
Garner plan that went on the statute
books. Mellon got credit for 1t. AS
he gained in prestige, Pennsylvania,
torn into factions with no leader able
to fill more than one of the shoes left
by the gigantic Penrose, turned to
Mellon. He isn't much like Penrose
was. He is a business man, patron
of the arts, a shy, secluded figure
who ambles home alone to lunch
every day and whose chief compan-
ion is his daughter, Ailsa, whose en-
gagement to David X. f. Bruce has
just been announced. He smokes
cigars, but not tho giant-cracker
size usually associated with politi-
clans. He uses little characterised
cigarros. He hardly speaks above a
whisper. One address to a bankers
convention was sixty words long He
has no noisy anecdotes. no gossip.

WASHINGTON, May 14.-Having

branching out as a politician. His
first appearance in this role Is to be

If Mellon puts his candidate
across against the other two rivals,
Governor Pinchot and Representa-
tivetive Ware, he will be justly re-
garded as an up and coming young
politician. Mellon is just a mere
lad of II and doubtless has lot to
learn about politics, but he is known
as a hard worker and one who saves
his money and with success in the
Pennsylvania primaries, he can look
forward to an influential career in
politics.
Mellon and his nephew. w. L.

influence in western Pennsylvania

HoIbrook Oil Concern Is
Barred From Selling Its
Stock in New York State
(By Dispatch A. ?. wirel j

ALBANY, n Y, May 4-The Great
Basin Oil company of Holbrool<, Ari-
zona, was enjoined today at the re-
quest of Attorney General Albert
Ottinger from conducting further
sale of it's oil stock in New York
state until satisfactory proof can be
brought forward as to the financial
stability of the firm. It's activities,
the attorney general said, constituted
"the most daring imposition upon
investors yet brought to his atten
ton"
Allegations contained in the COM
plant upon which an injunction was
granted by the supreme court were
that shares of the company's stock
were worthless, that practically all
had been issued ITO S. Earl Taylor
president and principal stocSholder
in exchange for leases in alleged oil
lands held by him, and that the ac-
tivities of the company and the value
of it's lands had been grossly mis-
represented.

A FEW EXCERPTS

Damon Runyon wrote a column the
other day on the Copper league and
it's playing roster. Some of Damon's
observations are particularly worth
while and they are printed below for
the benefit of Copper league fans.
You find familiar names on the
rosters of the clubs of the Copper
league, which has teams in Ell Paso,
in Bisbee, in Juarez, and Douglas, anad
other good towns down there-Chick
Gandil, Hal Chase, Buck Weaver,
Lefty Williams, Shoeless Joe Jackson,
and others.
Il note that Tom Seaton, once with
the Philles, is now pitching for Jua-
rez, and got fine plastering from
El Paso in one of the early games of
the season. Tom Seaton was a good
pitcher in the big league, one Of the
best of the right handlers when in
form.
Jimmy O'Connell has just joined
one of the clubs in the Copper league
O'Connel3 has been working in his
ohme town, San Francisco, since his
expulsion from organized baseball,
patiently hoping for clemency. He was
the most recent victim of the wrath
of baseball justice, and has apparent
ly naive, not to say dumb, tool at
mont.
For O'Connell, I think the baseball
fans have more sympathy than any
other player chased out of the or
ganized game. He was very young
when he sinned. The fans seemed
to think he must have been a took in
the hands of older men, and a strange
ly naive, not to say lumb, tool at
that.
Il think even Judge Kenesaw
Mountain Lands feels sorry for o.
Connell, and would like to relent in
his case. In fact, the judge told me
last fall that he had sat down and
tried to write out a case that would
convince himself justifying the rein
statement of O'Connell but was un-
able to do so,
"They tell me that Chase plays first
base as we'll as he ever did, and that
was better than any other man eve~
played it. He has now been playing
ball nearly 20 years, and 1 am confi-
dent he would have lasted in the bis
league right up to the present time"

HOFF WILL NOT

COAST MEETING
(By Dispatch A. P. wire)

SAN FRANCISCO, May 4.-Charley
Hoff, worlds greatest pole vaulter,
arrived here today from Seattle and
reiterated his decision not to com
pete in the Pacific Athletic associa-
ton track meet here Saturday. Hoff
said he had not been consulted in
the matter of participating here had
signed no entry blank, and would
leave for Los Angeles tonight where
he is scheduled to perform on May Is.
The noted Norwegian athlete was
plainly nettled over criticisms that
have been heard regarding his anna
teur status and reports that he has
been drawing more than his share
of expense allotted to amateurs. Dis
cussing the situation, he said:
POSSIBLY this is the end of ath-
letics for me in the west, but I am
not going to compete.
II am advised that if 1 don't ap-
pear in Kezar stadium here Saturday
also will be barred from the Los

COMMON COLDS

/ Sickness is one of the most Elk
pensive invaders in any home, in
any community, or in any town or
city or state. Sickness invariably
causes the readjustment of the fam
lily budget, and directs funds from
the usual channel to new ones, and
causes more hardships than any
other thing which might befall any
one.
Short, temporary periods of illness,
due to minor diseases, are usually
easily accomm odated, providing that
/ it leaves no permanent impairment
or does not become complicated
The so-called common cold, for ex-
ample, is usually a mild inflamma-
tion of the mucus membrance of the
nose and throat, but this has been
estimated by some to have COS. she
+, citizens of the United States no less
than $4,000 O00, 100000 per year. AS
long as the cold remains in the
usual location of the nose and throat
any person can stand having a cold.
They can usually do their normal
work without haviny any need of
being much disturbed by it.
The common cold, however, is due
to some germ which has been i'm
planted or has invaded the mucus
Imembrance of the nose and throat.
This, you know, is the beginning
of the entrance of the respiratory sys :

which cost the lives of William H,
McSwiggen, youthful assistant states
attorney, and two companions, when
they were attacked one week ago to-
night in Cicero, west side suburb, it
was testified at the coroner's inquest
today. James G. Doherty, one of the
victims, was identified by John Siege,
Chicago detective captain, as the man
who supplied goods at $50 a barrel
to the saloon in front of which the
shooting occurred. Most OF teh day
was taken up with routine testimo-
ny by a dozen witnesses who describ-
ed the physical characteristics of the
scenes of the shooting, the finding of
the bodies of McSwiggen and Doher-
ty, and of the bullet-smashed auto
mobile in which they had ridden.

vived the fusillade they probably were

fection extends into the trachea it is
accompanied with a cough and expec-
toratior, and the patient may still feel
able to be about doing most of his
work. When, however, it extends into
the lung tissue, it establishes inflam-
nation there which is generally re-
cognized as pneumonia. Few if any.
having this complication are able t.
be about, and all who have it have a
real battle for their lives, and many,
unfortunately are not able to recover
from it. Every cough, every sneeze
and every breath from the man, wom-
an or child with cold in his nose and
throat expel thousands Of these germs
which are giving them their cold, ard
every man, woman or child placed in
the direct path of that cough, sneeze
or breath is receiving sufficient germs
to establish a similar cold in their res
piratory tract.
No doctor or anyone else can tell
but what a cold will not develop this
complication, although all colds do
not develop into pneumonia.
The only difficulty there is, is in Sc
lecting the unfortunate ones and
warning them. If this cannot be done,
the only solution there is, is to look
upon every cold as dangerous, not orl ly
to it's possessor, but to the public at
large. A cold promptly and efficient
ly looked after is of very short dura-
tion. A cold properly and persistently
guarded will never spread. The safe
rule is to cover that sneeze, that
cough and direct the breath away
/ from the people, and take prompt and
effective measures to cure mild
cold, and the world will be better off
and various complications avoided.

PROSECUTORS NOW MAY DEFEND ALSO
States Attorneys May Work Privately in Another County

Hartford, Oct. GP>-state's At torney Hugh NJ. Alcorn may defend a murderer in New Haven county. States Attorney Arnon A. filling may do the same in Hartford coun- ty.
 This Is the revolutionary effect of a rule adopted by the judges of the superior court at their morning ses- sion at the state library building yesterday, when the judges repealed the rule of the Code of Ethics which prohibited states attorneys and prosecutors of any criminal court in the state from defending an accused in any court.
 The adopted rule permits them to appear on behalf of an accused in any criminal court other than their own. It seems that the prosecutors in the Hartford police court may de- fend an accused in the superior court provided the case did not ori- ginate in their court
 The substituted rule was adopted however, to give the prosecutors of the small towns the opportunity for larger practice than was possible under the previous rule. Since its adoption and rigorous enforcement by judges, prosecutors have been greatly limited in their criminal practice. The result was that con-
 plaints developed against the rule.

INFANT IMMUNITY
 FROM VACCINATION
Babies Made Immune to Tu. berGulOSiS Germs
Washington, Oct. 5. P-Infants

Washington, Oct. s. P>-Infants have been successfully vaccinated against tuberculosis. Dr. B, Weill- Halle, associate director of the school for child welfare of the Col. lege of Medicine, Paris. said today before the National Tuberculosis As sociation convention.
 "'B c C. is the name given the substance used in vaccinating in> fants," said Dr. Weill-Halle. Tt has resulted in the reduction of mortali- ty to less than one per hundred the first years of life, whereas the nor tality among children of the same age, not so vaccinated and reared in contaminated families, is at least twenty-five per hundred"
 Not 4 Sure Cure
 The reports were based on the ex- perience among infants in France, Great Britain, Belgium and Sweden.
 This treatment is not a cure for tuberculosis" pr. WeiilHale stated. The vaccination is performed only upon infants and immediately after birth. Up to the present only very small number of deaths from tuber- culosis is reported, or of diseases presumed to be tuberculosis. Our data. as yet is insufficient to deter mine. the probable duration of im- munity. We know only that very precise experiments with calves and monkeys, as well as observations on children vaccinated since 1921. show that resistance to infection due to abitation with contagious tuber- culosis persons continues for three years and perhaps longer"
 Vaccine's Preparation The preparation of the vaccine used is highly technical and must be safe guarded by many precau- tions in the laboratories. Prof. Cal mette's original vaccine was propa- gated through 230 generations. thus attenuating it's virulence. The result was a living tuberculosis germ so weakened, that it no longer possessed i the faculty of forming tubercules. but retaining it's ability to create what are technically known as antt- bodies-subs having an. an tagonistic effect upon the germs Of the disease.
