JUST WHO IS CRAZY?

Law is q queer thing George Remus not
crazy but what he could become lawyer; not crazy
but what he could become the king of the booteggers
and amass fortune reaching into the millions, but he
was crazy when he shot his wife few weeks ago in
Cincnnatti
That is what jury decided yesterday after five
guilty because he crazy ION the day he killed his
wife, The ladies and gentlemen of the jury did not
say that George is crazy now. Undoubtedly he is not
and never was. He mad the day he killed his
wife, but hardly crazy. There is difference.
Having escaped the hangman's moose, which he rich
ly deserved this notorious voator who boasted Of
his ability to make huge fortune in illicit bus-
ness will undoubtedly go to asylum for short
time and then be liberated.
1t is very convenient for the law to adjust itself
that folks can be crazy not. Time when
man was crazy he crazy for keeps, but that was
before the days when started making it fashionable
TO break the law and brag about It,

DESERVING OF SUCCESS

Persisency is admirable characteristic and there
fore the efforts of Captain Kingsford Smith and Lieu
tenant Pond to establish endurance record for
airpanes admirable for this pair of aviators sure
ly has been persistent.
Four times have they attempted to beat the record
established by pair of German aviators and four
times they have failed The last attempt ended yes
terday when they forced down through lack of
fuel after they had flown steadily for two days
Immediately upon landing they made known their in
tention try again they had rested up suf
ficiently
Doubtless they learned much in the two days they
were in the air and profiting by this they may
ceed in setting record on their next attempt
Of what will such record be? Considerable
There is yet much to be learned before air navigation
can be considered complete There is still
an element of experiment connected with it. Every
trip such those made by Lndbergh, Byrd, Chamber
lain and others, adds to aviation knowledge.

FIGHTING 4 FIRE

Cancer says a prominent American physician, is
much like fire" 1t can be put out quickly if caught
while it is still a spark small flame But if al
lowed to spread, it will destroy the body in spite of
all the medical fremen 90.
-If cancer is allowed to spread, and shoulder any
where in the body fire beneath the floors it can
only be overcome after it has destroyed great deal
or too late to save the building. 1t also Spreads if
neglected, to other parts of the body when treat
ment is given or treatment is improperly carried OUT
Whether in case of a bodily fire or house fire, the
physician says the main thing is not to be panic
stricken The patient the householder should calm
v face the situation and call the remen, letting the
experts have their way That DONE the great majority
of cases be in their early stages, without
any spread of the disease any recurrence OF 1t.

BATON ROUGE, La. May IL.
The chief effort of the $4,000, 900
Mississippi flood relief machinery
narrowed today from hundreds Of
thousands Of homeless to twenty
one smallpox patients.
A battered old river steamer
showed into the Red Cross camp at
Harrisonburg, CatahouIa Parish,
last evening with twenty-five
refugees from Dailey's landing. All
were whites. Twenty-one had
smallpox.
They had been rescued from the
second floor of farm dwelling
one hundred and fifty miles up the
Beouff River. where they had been
marooned for ten days. There had
been sufficient food, but nothing
else. Medical supplies were beyond
miles of muddy water, all sanitary
facilities were lacking.
Today the sorry band Is attended
in the pine forests at the tip OF
the Bayou Macon Hills. where an
isolation camp is in readiness for
| all others from the same district
whom the rescue armada of stricken
Louisiana can round up.
Airplanes took off from hatcher
at daybreak to carry serum tc
camp. Everyone rescued along the
northern reaches OF the Beouff and
its tributaries will be isolated for
weeks. Everyone In Harrisonburg
will be inoculated.
