Washington, April 2.-There nj.
ways has been some conflict, small
or great, between the executive
legislative and judicial branches Of
government and argument has con.

The one thing generally agreed i
that governmental power has be.

In this presidential year it may
be worth pointing out that most Of
this added power has accrued TO thu

Passing Of Gypsy Flyers

Aviation owes dsbt to the war that has
never been fully recognized. Most of the total
mileage flown any year in America is recorded
by air-service operators for individuals, cor
porations and firms other than mail and regl-
lar express organizations. The United States
has had hundreds Of airmen who are ION their
own" They are wandering pilots, here today
and somewhere else tomorrow.
The young men who had learned to fly in
the army and navy during the war returned
TO civil hfe with one great desire-to continue
In the alluring field of avietion. AS the gov
eminent had thousands Of surplus engines and
planes to be disposed Of, these war pilots
created legitimate market, and they soon
developed into nationwide group Of air prop
agandists, largely responcible for such air.
mindedness OF the American people Is exists
today.
Hundreds Of cities and towns had at least
one flyer who turned his war experience to
civil pursuits: They became air gypsies. They
flew at county fairs. Some of them became
stunt flyers. Sl.y-writing and other forms Of
advertising attracted many. The air-mail
service recruited others.
Most Of the wandering flyers have ceased ia
wander. They have become what aviation
calls fixcd-bace operators, and commercial fly.
ing In nearly al it's phases has settled down
upon q solid and businesslike basis. But Il
was the gypsy flyer who carried aviation
through the postwar period Of national apathy
and indifference that abruptly ended with
Lindbergh's flight to Paris.

The Idle Word

The idle word that stings is as old as human
speech. Spoken thoughtlessly or spoken in .
moment Of irritation, it says more than the
speaker meant At least it says more than
he would have said if he had taken second
thought Too often in hasty moment one
who really would not for worlds cause lasting
hurt does just that because he reaches for the
first remark that will register.
These idle words 90 deep, deep into the
heart and memory of the one to whom they
are addressed. There is 70 way of reaching
this harm by laws and courts There is no
way of resolving that one will never say the
thing that causes needless hurt, except by re-
solving to build up habit in ones life of say
ing only kindly things until quiet reflection has
shown the need of something else.
This is not text for weakngs, counsel
of meekness to the point Of being trodden upon.
It was not weak man who prayed, "Set a
watch before the door Of my lips nor fool
who wrote, "She openeth her mouth with wis
dom, and in her tongue is the law Of kindness"

Marye dear:
I'm really worried about your be-
havior in regard to your young
friend, Billy Bartlett. Why don't
you let him alone! Suppose you
should succeed in transferring his
interest from yourself to Florence?
Do you think it would make him
any happier than he is now if Flor
ence failed to respond accordingly?
And just consider how unfor-
tunate it would be il she should be-
gin to care for him. She must come
home to look after her mother. II
she doesn't Betty will be miserable
with either q discontentened mother
or husband on her hands. Or you
and Alan will have to move back
here and provide q home for the
dear old lady. OF course II it hap
pens that Florence finds the right
man in the city no one can expect
her to sacrifice any more Of her
life than Alan or Betty should.
However, l do think you ought
not to encourage her in anything
that might cause her to imagine
herself in love with q young man
like Billy Bartlett. It might lead
to some foolish and ,hasty conse-
quence. If she were going to re-
main there it would Be different.
They would not dread . parting as
will b the case il they fall in love
with each other now. Young peo-
pie often rush into matrimony when
they would not think Of it il Z part
ing did not threaten them.
Please think seriously Of this,
Marye. You may believe that mar.
rtages are made in heaven but exc
perience proves that propinquity
has Z lot to do with the average
mating. By throwing Florence and
this young man together you risk
getting them interested In each
other beyond the point you have in
mind-to merely cure him Of his
puppy love for YOU.
OF course YOU are scarcely more
than . youngster yourself even
though you are married. And
do not expect you to show sound
judgment in these matters. But I
do hope that ct least you win heed
what / say to you, Marye dear,
and stop playing with fire. For
human emotions are like fire. They
can 20 easily get beyond control.
You can never tell where the ct.
tempt to direct another persons af.
lection will lead to; and ] trust you
have enough sympathy in your ma
ture not to enjoy making anyone
suffer from . hopeless love. It
might easily happen that Florence
would lose her heart to this young
man and yet fail TO attract him.
You must realise, Marye, that while
she 10 with You Il Is your duty to
look out TOR such things and protect
her wherever you can.
Dearest love,
NOM.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: A. F. writes: "As a
reader and also as one who real.
ICES that your practical advice is
good, I would like to know your
opinion Of chiropractic. l am no
chiropractor, doctor, or follower Of
any one health method. I merely
asl. your unbiased opinion"
Answer: The fact that practical
" every State in the Union has q
law regulating the practice Of Chi
ropractic is an assurance that there
is Z great deal of recognized value
in this method of treatment. Chiro-
practic is defined as the science of
adjusting the spinal vertebrae with
the hands by means Of q specific
thrust. There is much difference of
opinion about whether or not the
spinal vertebrae actually get out of
position, but there is no question
but what the stimulation given to
the spinal nerves through chiro-
practic treatment is helpful in
bringing about increased tone to
those parts Of the body which re-
ceived the added stimulation.
Question. T. NJ. B. writes: "Pleasc
tell me whether or not soft-boiled
eggs are harmful to a person with
high blood pressure"
Answer: One with high blood
pressure can use a reasonable num-
Der Of eggs in his diet. Perhaps
one day would be about right. A
high blood pressure patient should
use only q limited amount Of pro-
TENS, starches and sugars.
Question: Mrs. r. D. asks: "What

health permanently wrecked? Car.
a person have pneumonia more than

Gle have prepared on this SUBJ
ject. In partially answering your

The Unsuitable desire of the stage
for young and pretty girls, even if
without noteworthy talent, does not
have a counterpart with the circus.
Unfortunately for these innumerable
recruits for the stage, youth and beau
ty do not survive, and when these two
qualities are not coupled with ability
of a decided order, these girls find
themselves miserably afoat in the flot-
sam and jetsam of great cities.
Visitors who have seen and met the
girls and young women with the Wal
ter l.. Main circus declare that their
idea that the circus life was so irreg-
ular, so hurried, and abnormal, that it
would soon rob a young girl of her
beauty, was quickly dispelled when
they saw at first hand exactly what
the life behind the curtains at the cir
Gus was.
AS a matter of fact, the visitors
found that the majority of circus girls
are the most refreshing, the healthiestt
and the cleanest minded young women
ever assembled together. Many of the
socalled girls are married women with
young daughters and sons who are
also with the circus. There is little
difference between the girls of the cir

HUMANITARIAN

Just as in the past the problems
of the hour called for varying types
of men, whether lawyers, legislators,
politicians, soldiers, or diplomats, so
today we need at the head of the Uni
ted States a man whose training, a.
bilities and broad experience enable
him to grapple with and understand
these intricate and worldwide forces,
and to furnish the leadership and dir
ection that will enable the Nation to
control and direct them for the COM
mon good.
Of all the men in public life, M,
Hoover is supreme in this line. If
there is a major economic problem in
the life of this Nation with which his
vigorous and resourceful mind has not
already become thoroughly familiar,
l have yet to discover it.
For me Hoover's life begins in 49,
IA, when he organized the relief of
100000 Americans stranded in Eur
ope. He then became head of the
Commission for the Relief of Belgium
formed under his craftsmanship, which
for over four years was to feed and
provision a nation of over ten mil
lion people. This Commission was
more of a government than a private
enterprise. 1t purchased quantities
of food in the world markets; it OPP
Grated it's own fleet of 200 ships, to-
gether with canal boats, railways,
warehouses, slaughter houses, bak-
cries and flour mills; it expended ST.
50O,000,0OO; it's overhead was only
IL per cent, and it's final statement
of accounts was accepted without any
question by all governments.
Pretty good for the hitherto I'M
known son of the Iowa blacksmith,
aged forty. Pretty good for the
country that breeds such men.
The Belgian story is typical of all
that follow. Returning in 1917, he
organized the United States Food Ad-
ministration, which promoted and di-
rected our food exports, which rose
from 100000 tons annually before
the war to 2O,000,000 tons. In 1919
he was again in Europe organizing
and directing the food supply of en-
envy and liberated countries, directing
n,anv activities 1OokinC to the econ
omic restoration of that continent;
organizing the campaign against the
typhus epidemic, then raging in Eas-
tern Europe, a campaign which re-
duced the number of afflicted from
100000 to 10000 in six months. 1t
is no exaggeration to say that he in
these six years rendered greater di-
rect service to more human beings
than any other individual since the
world began.

Gus and the ordinary, healthy girls
who live in comfortable, refined homes
except that the life of circus girl is
in the open where she has better OPP
portunity to develop both physically
and mentally.
Life behind the red curtain which
separates the dressing rooms from the
rest of the circus is not unlike that of
a big family in camp. Here the women
do their sewing, their laundry, their
reading and writing and the instruct
ing of their children. Nobody molests
them no profanity is allawed to reach
their ears and the atmosphere in when
they live is as refined and respectable
as it would be in the best regulated
home. Circus folks are home-loving,
family people at heart and not at all
like the misguided public is prone to
consider them.
Many entire families, ranging from
grandparents to year-old children,
travel with the Walter L. Main Cir
Gus and enjoy all the comforts and
privacy of home life. In some of the
ring acts three generations of fam
ily are performing at the same time.
Most of the really great circus per-
formers of today are descendants of a
long line of circus ancestors, and their
success in their chosen field is largely
due to the heritage of clean living and
clean thinking that has been handed
down from generation to generation
Of the 600 people travelling with the
Walter L. Main Circus nearly 300 are
women. The big show will exhibit in

Outstanding on the schedule of ac- tivities for tonight's meeting of the common council are Councilman Samuel Sablotsky's move for an in- quiry into alleged abuses on the part of the board of public works: the proposal by Alderman Frank Za- patka and Councilman Lucian Ma cora that the budget be referred back to the board of finance and taxation for one mill cut: the cleo tion of Aaron Danielson as a mem- ber of the school committee; and a proposal that the corporation coun- sel be asked to rule on the lagality of Mayor Weld's two votes on al- lowing Sunday afternoon roller hockey.
 The election of Mir. Danielson is assured since he is the unanimous choice of the republican side of the house. A special meeting will pre- cede the regular session. this being necessary when g vacancy is to be filled.

CANADIAN OFFICIALS
 WONDER AT ACTIVITY
Do Not See Why Americans Should Seek to Interfere in
 Execution

Montreal. Feb. IS (UP)-Quebec officials were somewhat puzzled to- day by reports from several cities in the United States that efforts were being made to save Mrs. Doris Pal mer Mcdonald from the hangman's rope at Valleyfield, Que.
 Mrs. Mcdonald, with her second husband. George. Is under sentence to die on March 23 for the murder of Adelard Bouchard, taxi driver, last July IT.
 Prison attendants told the United Press that no one who might be in- terested in staying the execution or seeking leniency had visited the pretty young woman in her cell. That was why the reported agitation appeared incomprehensible, they said,
 Sisters Of Charity at the prison said Mrs. Mcdonald was becoming resigned to her fate and repeatedly had expressed the wish to die if her husband were to go to the gallows.
 Authorities here did not even know that the prisoners mother was alive until they read dispatches from Chicago quoting Mrs. Hazel Snyder Of that city. When Mrs Mcdonald was extra adited to Quebec she said her mother had died in childbirth. So far as is known no word has been received from Mrs. Snyder by the Mcdonald attorney here.
 Similarly it came as q surprise to learn that the young Womans fos- ter-mother. Dr. Frances Palmer Of Oklahoma City was joining the campaign to save Mrs. Mcdonald.
 An official who asked that his name be not divulged said that the moves in the prisoners behalf were unexpected because the proof of her guilt is so conclusive"
 At her trial he went on, "we were not even able to use a state nent she made in the United States in which she took full responsibility for the shooting And yet without that document. which was not ad- missible as evidence. a jury found her guilty

dispatch mail in quantities to Eng land by air at the regular two-cent postage rate now in effect. Similar plans by British postal authorities call for a three cent letter rate on United States bound mail with sur charge of nine cents.
 Rep. Clyde Kelly of Pennsylvania has offered in congress measure authorizing the postmaster general to contract for transoceanic mail at s3 a pound. Its passage will remove almost the last barrier to American use of the liners for mail.
 President Coolidge has expressed his interest in the plan in connection with the visit to Washington of c. D. Burney, member of the British parliament and representative of the sponsors of the R-100.
 At the presidents direction, Sec retary Wilbur of the navy is making available the mooring mast at Lake hurst. N. J., for the demonstration flight, and Secretary of Commerce Hoover is looking into the project with a view to aiding it as he may
