FEWER LYNCHINGs

Lynching is going the way Of WITHDRAWING. In the
first four months Of this year there ynchings
in the United States. While the record Is not yet
complete for the 81 months since elapsed, there
fewer than half Iozen Of these outragss during the
first ten months Of the year.
In this Is make steady progress, in spite Of the
prevalence Of prejudice and organized hatred and
bigotry. To realize how much progress the United
States has made it is only necessary to compare the
record lynchings since 1887.
Between the years 1887 and 1897 the average was
100 lynchings year, with maximum Of 255 in 1892
and minimum for the period Of 80 in 1896 Since
1917 The average has been Is year with maximum
81 s. in 1919 and : minimum Of Is in 1925 and
1871 This year may ret new low record.

Columbus oath, and Smith has been
attacked as negro bootlicker."
But the dominant Democratic or
ganization appears to have pulled
Smith out of what might have been
hole, despite Senator Helm, and
partly by giving plenty of publicity
to Hoover's anti-segregation order
in the census bureau. The CAM
paign has continued bitter, however,
and the evangelists, the Anti-Saloon
League and the khan are sure to re-
duce normal Democratic majoritics.
Such reports from Alabama are
typical Of those from other southern
states. Regular Democrats were
given ample time to ameliorate the
effects of the Whispering CAM
paign." Southern senator's, COVER
nors and other trusted leaders have
almost unanimously come to bat for
the national ticket, ard tire have
been few major defections among
the press.
In Georgia Bishop Gamblers as
sertion that the churches should
keep out of politics undoubtedly
helped Smith, and the khan appears
to have failed. to resuscitate itself
on the Smith issue. The defeat of
ex-Congressman Upshaw, a bolter,
in the primaries, was regarded as
significant stra-7 in the wind. The
anti-Smith movement is virtually
leaderless and it is reported that
even Ben Davis, colored Republic
can national committeeman, refuses
to cooperate in the Whispering

CAVALRY COMING BACK

The French war ministry in purchasing several
thousand American and Canadian horses the cavalry
subscrbes to the opinion that there is effective sub
sttute for the horse in modern warfare The ministry
became convinced after maneuvers just completed
that the horse not only could in wholly in
accessible by automobile, but that cavalry movements
could be much better concealed than movements by
motor transport.
In the allied armies the cavalry did not play con-
spcuous role at least after the United States

trains The French and the British in spite Of their
excellent motor transportation maintained large fleets
Of horsedrawn vehicles for service just behind the

At the close d the war the opinion was rather widely

A STRONG SPINE

The back bone is considered by
many anatomists as the most inn
portant structural part Of the body.
To the thirty-three bones of the
spinal column are attached the skull,
the ribs, the pelvis and, indirectly,
the bones of the legs and arms. The
spine also forms a safe bony canal
for the protection of the delicate
spinal cord, and between each two
vertebrae Of the spine there emanate
two sets Of spinal nerves.
Because of the normal curves of
the spine, and because of the carti-
lage separating each section Of the
bone, the jars Of walking, running
! and jumping are largely absorbed
and prevented from reaching the
brain.
From this brief description you
will understand what an important
relation strong spine has to health.
The powerful muscles attached to
the spine must be strong. elastic and
evenly balanced, one side with the
other.
The old expression, "plenty of
backbone" implied in a crude way
the value of strong spinal column.
People with strong spines and necks
are usually Independent in spirit,
self-reliant and courageous. Any
spinal irritation produces a disas-
trous nervous drainage which may
lead to serious disorders.
The only method of STRENGTHENING
the spine is through using bending
and limbering exercises. The spinal
column not only contains nerves and
the spinal cord, but small arteries
and veins. A stiff spine means that
the blood circulation Of the spinal
cord is impeded.
It is we'll known fact among
diagnosticians that an irritation Of
an internal organ, such as the stom-
ach or liver, is also indicated by an
irritation at the spinal column.
Many cases Of backache are only
reflex pains from internal conges-
ton, and there is no doubt that this
process is frequently reversed-that
pressure upon the nerves and blood
vessels coming out of the spinal
column will produce disease ten

those nerves. This fact has had
much to do with the success of var
ious schools of manipulation whose
principal method of treatment con-
sists Of loosening and manipulating
the bony and ligamentous structure
of the spinal column.
Spinal irritation can easily be de-
tected by pressing and searching for
sensitive spots along the spine,
Sometimes these pains are very
severe, and in the past many peculiar
and often cruel forms of treatment
were evolved, such as blistering,
cupping the skin, burning with q. red

IN NEW YORK

New York, Oct. 3O.-Just four
blocks west Of that amusement apex
known as Times Square, the scenes
of life shift rapidly and the glamour
of lights is soon forgotten in the
drab gloom of squalor.
Where, at 42nd and Broadway,
men struggle to pay $40 seat for
the latest musical hit; four blocks
west men pick cigaret butts from the
sidewalks and bum dimes for rooms
in a flop-house.
Where, at 42nd and Broadway,
theater fronts glare and flaunt their
gaudy amusement wares, four blocks
west the buildings are in sad need Of
paint; ancient circus signs and show
bills make shredded patterns on old
building sides; blousy- looking tene-
ments and cheap rooming- houses run
down to the river; an odd mixture
of old shops stare vacantly and
shabbily into the street.
y
A bit more than four blocks, down
from the worlds amusement mag
net, there is one little paint-peeled
place which, at first glance, could
be mistaken for an old-clothes store.
And in the window there is a
hand-printed sign which reads:
Applications for Santa Claus now
being filled" There are other signs
admonishing the stray sheep to
"Come to Jesus tonight" and to find
comfort at the nightly prayer meet
ings.
But it's the applications for
Santa Claus" that makes you stop
and look in.
Looking in, you see great counter
laden with old clothes. The counter
is made from two saw-horses and
three loose boards. About the
counter are men and women, paving
and overturning. They are humans
with pennies and dimes to spend.
Some haven't even the pennies and
stop to ask if there's anything to be
given away. They are admonished
to "come back in the morning and
we'll see what's left"
The rough counter takes up but
a portion of a small ante-room. It
is separated by a partition from a
larger room. An arch connects the
two. Through the arch one sees
lines of rude wood benches and a
sort Of pulpit adorned with Biblical

A little more than four blocks west
OF the gateway to a mad playworld,
four tattered men stand about a

old; one is in his early thirties. All
are marked by poverty-and there

abused and hunted look.
"Well, you see," the little bald
headed man begins, as he dries the
last application with a blotter, "you
see, we have learned to start early
so that we will get only the most
needy. Just before Christmas, YOU

looking for Santa Claus jobs. And
we're sometimes so hard up for men

rather give the jobs to men who
really need the work and the money.

SO that we will have time to make

has a sick wife and baby. He
hasn't had steady work in weeks and
winters coming on-and he doesn't
know how he'll keep them warm and
fed. Now we'll try and get him
something, but he'll be first on any
list we make out for Santa Claus
jobs. You know we send them out
on the street to raise money for the
poor for Christmas and the job lasts
for six weeks or more, and they can
make up to 81 q day. Yes, that's
why we register them now-so that
we can pick the neediest."
Four blocks to the east, the theatre
programs are beginning.

Neutrality-suspicious. has 20 cleo
toral votes, Georgia ID, Alabama II,
Louisiana 10, Mississippi 10, South
Carolina 9, Arkansas 8 and Florida 6.
These are considered the least
doubtful states of the solid Dem-
ocratic south. Smiths campaign is
predicated on the assumption that
they, along with Virginia and most
of the so-called border states, will
maintain their allegiance to the
democracy. But the Republicans are
making a serious attempt to carry
them for the first time in recent
history, and plenty of money and
effort has been poured in by both
sides. 1t is only within the last few
weeks that the Democrats have as
serted, with much confidence: their
ability to hold the solid south.
But the trend of political thought
has been more and more to consider
it as safe for Smith as the Pacific
coast states are for Hoover.
Prohibition, religion and Tammany
have been the issues raised against
Smith in the south. No one ques-
tons that the combination is all that
can defeat him anywhere in this ter
ritory. It is often charged by loyal
Democrats that prohibition has been
used as a cloak for religious bigotry,
and Smith himself said Tammany
was being similarly used.
While everyone agrees that this
is true, it is also true that the south
was politically dry long before
Smiths nomination and that his bold
attitude on prohibition has given his
enemies a stronger basis for attack.
The white supremacy" argument
has been brought to Smiths aid in
some states. Alabama, for instance
which might have gone for Hoover
at one time, but now is regarded as
safe for Smith by a substantial ma
jority. Organization Republicans
there openly attacked the Catholic
church in their campaign, the anti
Smith workers have spread many
copies of the bogus Knights OF

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Poor HEARING

AOOE nearing
Question: Teddy o. writes: "From
lying on my right side my ear seems
to close up, and again it will seem
to open. The hearing is not good
in that ear. Would sleeping on that
ear cause that, and what could
do?"
Answer: It may be that sleeping
on your right side tends to close
the eustachian tube because it can
more easily fill with catarrhal mu-
Gus ia that position. Living IN q
dict -..1o,l .,aratively free from
starches, sugars and fats should
bring about change in the over
production of catarrhal mucus and
relieve you Of your trouble.
Are These Vegetables Starchy?
Question:: Reader writes: II
would appreciate your opinion re-
garding the following vegetables, es-
pecially as to their starchy contents
varieties Of summer squash, egg
plant and French artichoke."
Answer: The amount Of starch
contained in these vegetables is 50
small that they may be classed as
non-starchy vegetables. This is not
true Of the Jerusalem or root arti-
choke, however.
Pimples
Question:: Jack C. writes: 81 hava
.pimples on my face. Can you do
anything for me-? L drink about
fifteen glasses Of milk day, and
take EPSON salts once a week. Be-
sides this, I scrub my face every
night with SOAP"
Answer: The pimples are caused
more by intestinal uncleanliness than
from not washing the face often
enough. The salts will help tenn
porarily but you must overcome in
testinal putrefaction and constipa-
ton. The excessive fat from so
much milk will only make your

Spring is the season of the year
in which motorists are lured into

The motorist should make certain
the roads over which he expects to
drive are not temporarily closed,
Stops declared
"It is impossible to take issue with
State or county highway officials
over this condition. Their task is
to put the roads into shape as
quickly and effectively as possible
in anticipation of the long period of
heavy motor travel which will be-
gin in a few weeks. They must
make the most of the first fine days
of spring for this work.
Therefore, the motorist must
check up on the roads before start

efficient machinery for collecting
vital road detour data. This is
