"a unknown quantity at that time.
George Turner originated the cop

He patented the idea. making his

Muscular Prodigy

There are very many cases on rec

could play the piano at three, preach
sermons at five, or deliver lectures on
scientific subjects at seven. But cases
Of very early muscular development

years ago, who has already the size

Gos Bombs for Colds

Two San Francisco chemists have
luat perfected a chlorine gas bomb
which makes possible the use Of chic
xsne gas for the treatment Of colds
Ia the home, where the same results
are obtained as with more elaborate
apparatus-in fact. eliminates the
necessity of going to some central
source for treatment, with possible
exposure to bad weather and further
lowering of body resistance The
chlorine gas bomb is made Of glass
and contains nothing but pure filtered
chlorine gas.
TO use 1t the patient takes the
bomb in a closed room and breaks off

the gas to escape and mingle with the
air In the room. The patient remains
sn this gas-filled room for one hour.

Barrs LasO Strategy
OutuUitted H0nliItor

Aaron Burr, the oracle Of Richmond
I'LL, was always given credit for q
suiiefuIness which to his enemies
amounted to nothing short of black
magic.
Consequently, little surprise will be
felt Ia the announcement that he was
the first slick corporation lawyer on
record and that by founding water
company he got his Bank Of Manhat-
tan company to function despite the
opposition of his mortal foe, Gen.
Alexander Hamilton.
The cleverness of Burr no longer
strikes terror in the breasts Of Amer
lean historians. He is beginning to
appear less black than he was paint
ed. And so there is measure of
poetic justice In the manner in which
he became banker in New York, the
story VI which is recalled by the I'M
covering Of the old well and pump ma
chinery In the basement of the old
building in Lafayette street.
In 1893 citizens Of the city had be-
come so alarmed at the spread of vel
low fever that they met to do some
thing about it. Burr had already tried
60 open bank, but Hamilton was in
the saddle In the state and had no de-
sire to set up new competitor to his
Bank Of New York.
Aaron attended the mass meetings,
spoke, it is to be presumed, with i'm
FASHIONED oratory generously
aprinkled with Greek gods and dryads,
and the Manhattan company was
termed. The charter passed through
Burr's hands and he craftily inserted
q clause which permitted his water
company to use it's surplus funds for
banking purposes
Hamilton was asleep. He let the
charter go through. And SO we have
today the Bank of Manhattan COM
pany, with the old water company and
its pine log pipes and rates fixed ac-
cording to the number of fireplaces in
consumers houses long since passed
Arom the sight Of man.
The tragedy Of so clever perform
anee was that it helped later to con-
Nrm In the American mind the fact that
Aaron was too slick, always a major
aeeense In American politics. The bank
~ the water company also increased
the personal rivalry between Burr and
hamilton and was another step in the
nsng march of events which were later
60 defeat Burr for the Presidency and
cause the quarrel which killed the
general and forced the colonel to fee
the state Brooklyn Eagle.

prices for the government were AaAA
prices for civilians must say now
ever, that the vast majority OF Amer
lean manufacturers rose to the situa-
ton in such a splendid way as 70
bring the following commentator
from woodrow Wilsml: They turned
aside from every private interest, OF
their own and devoted the whole OF
their trained capacity to the tasks
that supplied the sinews Of the Wnole
great undertaking The patriotism,
the unselfshness, the thorough going
devotion and distinguished capacity
that marked their toilsome labors day
after day, month after month have
made them fit mates and comrades to
the men in the trenches and on the
seas"
There are many men who are afraid
that the adoption of this plan by Con-
eress would give an impetus to social
ism or communism or sovietism or
whatever they may call it, because,
they say, 'if you show it can be done
in war time there will be demand
that it be done in peace time" It
cannot be done in peace time There
can be no great undertaking without
strong moving cause In peace time
the moving cause is personal initiative
and payment for services performed
The substitute for that In war time Is
the common danger
The War Industries Board was the
foremost advocate of price fixing and
distribution, and it had great power In
this field, but when the Armistite
came it recognized that peace condi-
tons were being restored, and it was
the first to change the war time order
of things and to leave to the people
themselves the REIMBURSEMENT of their
affairs. / am satisfied that 1t Is i'm
possible for the government to do in
peace time what I am advocating, al
though it becomes absolutely neces-
sary in order to conduct a modern
war successfully and to conduct it on
a non-profteering basis.
The application of this plan, besides
making the nation a coherent unit In
time of war, would impress upon
every class in society sense of its
own responsibility In such event. II
1t were known that this universal re-
sponsibility would be enforced, no
class social, financial or Industrial
could fail to understand that in case
Of war It would have to bear its share
Of the burdens involved and would
have to make sacrifices OF profit, con-
venience and personal liberty correla-
lively with those made by the soldiers
In the field. To this extent the plan
would act as a positive deterrent to
any hasty recourse to force in an in
sernational controversy.
One thing that has definitely come
from the war is the necessity of
arranging affairs so that a portion Of
the population shall not be sent to the.
front to bear all the physical hard
ships and their consequences while
others are left behind to profit by
their absence. If applied at the out
break, the War Industries Board las
it was functioning at the close of the
World War; would prevent this and
lessen, II not remove, the social and
economic evils that come as the after.

TO THE sEsQUICENTENNIAL,
Eastern Steamship Lines Running
Special Tours.


Special Tours.
Philadelphia Is known as being
especially attractive during the fall
season and many persons from this
neighborhood, who will visit the
Sesquicentennial Exposition between
now and the closing in December, are
planning to make their holiday COM
plete by going to Philadelphia on one
of the tours Of the Eastern Steamshi p
Lines.
These tours are four in number, in
volving from four to nine days, ac-
cording to the wishes of the indi-
vidual. They are all-expense; that is,
the traveller buys a ticket which COW
ers all essential expenses from the
time he leaves Boston to the time he
returns 1t covers stateroom and
transportation, parlor car seat in the
train between New York and Philadel-
phia, motor bus rides, hotel room and
meals-he has nothing to worry
about.
The trip between Boston and New
York is by the commodious and
staunch ships of the Eastern Lines
through the Cape Cod Canal and Long
The trip through the canal. in fact,
is an event by itself. The ships have
comfortable staterooms, excellent
meal service, an attractive dancing sa-
lon with a good orchestra. a veranda
cafe and spacious promenade decks
The steamers leave India Wharf, At
lantic avenue, Boston, every afternoon
at o'clock, and dock in New York at
Pier 10, North River. at o'clock the
next morning. Transfer IL then made
to the Pennsylvania station. where
train is taken for Philadelphia, about
two hours run from New York.
A stop-over in New York can be ar
ranged on any of the tours. and the
tours can be otherwise revised to meet
the wishes of patrons. Reservations
can be made at the Office of the East
ern Steamship Lines, IL Milk street,
Boston, or at India Wharf.
Although the Sesquicentennial Elk
position is not so large as those given
in the past in this country, 1t sur
passes them in many respects. Natur-
ally it has the advantage of being the
latest Exposition and the progress
since st. Louis and Buffalo and San
Francisco is notable.-Advt.

What Is the RabbIe That
Ill Should Have a Voice
in Government
BY NJ. e. TRACY

The American flag which came
into being 149 years ago today, was
unfurled for republicanism in a
world of monarchy for equality be
fore the law into a world Of class
distinctions, for government by
elected officials in a world of born
rulers and for freedom of speech
and conscience in a world where
few dared speak their minds.
1t took nerve and sacrifice to keep
that flag flying except for the first
few tragic years.
Not only was it assailed by the
guns Of a foreign foe, but by the
so-called better elements in this
country. What is the rabble. they
asked, that it should have a voice
in State affairs, and what is liberty
that it should be granted to ignorant,
irresponsible multitudes?
And some are still asking the same
question ard finding a deal Of solace
in the cry of Mussolini that
Democracy has failed.
Shall we call them good Ameri-
cans or classify them with the
bolshevists and demand that their
ideas be excluded from the public
schools?

THE ONE QUESTION

DO bootleggers, law violators and other crlrni-
nails decided what policemen shall be assigned 10
their particular localities?
That is a question which should be settled
The charge is openly made by Prosecutor Remy
that such is the situation In Indianapolis
Either it is true, it is not true
If it be true, there is reason.
And that reason is the one question which the
people of this city who believe they are taxed to
nav for enforcement of law and the protecton OF
order want answered
They want to know whether there is super
mower in this city which Is bigger than the govern
ment of the city, power strong enough to order
protection for law vioators
1t is true that the form of government makes
responsibility difficult to trace,
There is a mayor. He names board OF safety.
The board names chief. The chief names subordl-
mates or suggests them He has to depend upon lieu
tenants for advice.
Is there some one who is powerful enough IN
This city to make suggestions that are not d1sobeyed
BY those in control of whom they stand IN rear OF
to whom they pay political debts?
Let's find out whether Prosecutor Remy knew
what he was talking about He generally does
and has the courage to tell it. The people will be-
ieve that this condition exists until there is some
stronger evidence than mere disclaimers by any or
those in direct control of the department.
No finer service could be given by any public
organization, dedicated to the growth and welfare
of the city than to deve into this matter and then
boldly proclaim the exact situation
If the police department is subtly under the con-
troll of the criminal let's find out why-and the man
who bargains away the peoples government for po-
ltical power
