IN NEW YORK

New York, Aug. 18.-Not, per-
haps, that it makes great deal Of
difference - but, anyway, someone
salvaged from Brooklyn warehouse
the statue of Diana, which once
perched so gaily atop the Madison
Square Garden, and found a place
for it on the New York University
grounds.
Which reminds me OF tale that
waits the pen of the embryo O..
Henrys. It was told me the other
night at the Players Club by q doc
tor who writes bit himself now and
then.
1T was a couple Of years ago, in
this very clubroom," the doctor
began. 1--WE were sitting about the
round table - some artists, actors
and writer's. The papers had been
carrying stories about the passing
Of Madison Square Garden. And
one of the artists spoke admiringly
Of the st. Gaudens statue of Diana
49, which, of course turned the
general conversation in that direc-
ton.
"A short time afterward, the
artist came up to me and said:
Doctor, I'd like to send over to you
the girl that modelled for that statue.
She hasn't been very well lately. And
I've been keeping an eye on her.
Of course I said I'd be glad to take
the case.
"Well - I don't know why we
carry around illusions Of fountains
Of youth, and such. But anyone
who ever saw Diana up there above
the city must have conjured ur
some image Of immortal symmetry
You know, completely forgot how
many years had passed since the
statue was modelled.
"And then, one morning there
hobbled into my office rheumatic
and crotchety old lady. She wa.
bent from pain and twisted from
the twinges of her malady. Hel
dress indicated that circumstance!
had been no kinder to her thar
Time.
"She sat down. and introduced her
self with, I'm the patient So-and-St
sent YOU
80, yes,' I said, pretending un
concern. you are Diana -"
ayes she responded, with ,
twinge Of pain, II was DIANA
That's al there is to the story d
IL heard it. don't vouch for II
either in entirety or part, since
know the doctor to be fond Of hi
tale-tellinfs. merely know tina
r liked the story. And there seem
no reason why it shouldn't Be true

LABOR'S OFFICIAL NEUTRALITY
(Miunen mile Yn,,rna1

Four years ago organized labor officially endorsed
the candidacy Of the late Senator La Toilette for the
Presidency. But the endorsement did not deliver the
actual votes in the ballot boxes Members Of the vari
as American citizens to vote as seemed to them wise
and best Labor had in other years made similar parti-
commitments, usually unsuccessful.
Organized labor in this campaign now takes posi-.
ton Of official neutrality. The Executive Council Of
the American Federation, despite vigorous endeavors
the advice Of the strong element in its membership
that is for Hoover has decided upon this attitude Of
neutrality. The mistake Of 1924 will not be made this
year.
The counsel Of the late Samuel Gompers that labor
should content itself with supporting it, friends and
attacking its enemies, regardless Of party lines is still
as sound as when he was labor's great leader.

excellent reason that there 10 abor vote that can

IGNORANCE ABROAD

You may not have realized it. what with the presi-
Dental campaign and all, but the great American male
is really desperately unhappy.
An Englishwoman, writing in London paper and
quoted in recent Literary Digest sets forth that the
American man, in fact is fighting for his life
His wife, she admits, has pretty good time; but
American men lag far behind their Hear what
she says:
HE (the American man) lives in = world separate
from theirs All the excitement and romance Of life for
him is concentrated in his office He goes home in the
evening, exhausted, to find his wife, fresh daisy,
starting out for the night If she insists his going
with her, and she does insist, he only do so after
couple Of cocktails three four. So that what he
sees Of the world Of women he in daze Of wear
ness and alcohol.
"The tragedy Of such American is that they are
never allowed to go to bed. They the slaves Of
wives who utterly bored with their company yet
will not dispense with it."
This great WEAKNESS of American at evening
doubtedy explains why the. largest American cities.
where there the most business and where the
pace is the furious offer the most and
varied forms of diversion in the evening. The tired
business man, it is we'll known is great patron Of the
theater and he seldom is dragged there by his wife,
any than he is dragged to his golf club by her,
or to the conventions which he loves so dearly.
AS matter of fact, the only significant thing about
the article quoted above is the revelation which it
vides about the average English view of us. We are
often told that America is selfcentered and ignorant
Of the ways of other people; yet intelligent Ameri-
en- quite misinformed about the English

She paints very pathetic picture, but no Ameri-
can would ever recognize it. 1t simply is not true.
Think the people you know. Are the men tired
every evening? Are the women always "fresh as
daisy after spending day caring for house and
three or four children? Are husbands and wives mu-
tually bored to the point Of extinction!
OF course not. Like other foreign commenta

she's talking about. That great Anglo-American un.

BY RODNEY BUTCHER
(NEA Service Writer).

Washington, Aug. 18.-When the
Seventy-flrst Congress convenes, it
appears probable that Robert NJ. La
Toilette will still be the youngest
man in the Senate.
Reports from Wisconsin indicate
that the regular Republicans, or
"stalwarts," have little hope Of de-
feating him for denomination in the
primary on Sept 4.
Lat'oIlette is only 80 years old and
his political enemies have UNDER
taken to use the fact against him.
It's a mans job, they say, and now
that the state has paid him the COM
pliment of allowing him to serve out
his late fathers term, it ought to
remember that Young Bob is Just =
boy and hasn't really cut any figure
in Congress.
But Young Bob's friends are pre-
dieting that he will win three TO one.
His opponent for the nomination
is George w. Mead, millionaire
mayor OF Wisconsin Rapids and
president of water power company
and paper company. Lar gillette
appears to be so assured of his own
denomination that he is devoting
most of his time toward the nomi-
nation Of Congressman Joseph D.
Beck, one Of the old LaFollette pro.
gressives, for governor.
The LaFollette ticket is engaged
in the bitterest sort Of struggle
with the electric power interests,
which are reported to be spending q
wad Of money for their candidates.
Sam insults companies own about SO
per cent Of the public utilities and
water power in Wisconsin. The
fight between the power interests
and their allies and the progressivel
has come to center on the guberna.
torial fight. The former believes
that it is more important for them
to win this than to defeat Young
Bob.
Beck is opposed by Governor FREQ
r. Zimmerman and by Walter J
Kohler, the millionaire manufacturer
Of bathroom fixtures, of Kohler
Wis, who is supported by NationA
Committeeman George Wits.

Even q sylph must grow old, and
growing old must become heir to

Haywood Broun, the columnist,
once remarked that he never could
see the tragedies in such situations
as those presented by "Romeo and
Juliet" in which the hero and her.
oine merely die.
His comment was that if he were
to write the play to suit his idea
Of tragedy he would show Romeo
and Juliet in their classic balcony
love moments. And then in the last
act, he would show them a couple
of dozen years late Romeo would
be no longer young and handsome,
and Juliet would be getting fat, and
her hair would be grazing.
Romeo would be making his love
plea again, his voice weakening a
bit. And, in the midst Of it, Juliet
would yawn.
And that, said Broun, would be
tragedy.
In which ! am inclined to concur.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: Mrs. O. w. writes:
"My daughter has . very rapid
heart, and we have been told that
her tonsils were decayed and send
ing poisons through her body caus-
ing her heart to beat faster than It
should. Do you advise removing the
tonsils? You have spoken Of an
other method Of getting rid Of them.
Would you kindly explain this
through the columns Of The Tribune
as soon as possible? / have re.
ceived a great deal Of good from
your department"
Answer: It is doubtless true that
heart trouble often develops from
diseased tonsils, but the tonsils can
be cured without removing them. A
short fast followed by the proper
diet will create a condition in both
the blood and Emphatic system 80
the tonsils can cure themselves Of
any pus condition which may have
developed. Send (. large, self
addressed, stamped envelope for de-
tailed information, asking for the
article called "Save the Tonsils.''
Question: Mrs. J. asks: "Will
you please advise if a Tablespoonful
or two of olive oil can be used on
lettuce and tomatoes, etc., when
meats, or nuts, or cheese are used at
the same meal?"
Answer: It is perfectly safe to
use olive oil with any other kind Of
food as it is wholesome hydrocar-
bon, and unless used in excess does
not interfere with the digestion Of
other foods.
Question: Mary B. writes: 81 am
suffering from very severe pain in
my face. My lips become very swol-
len and my gums are like par
alyzed."
Answer: Go to your dentist and
see If he cannot find the cause Of
your trouble in abscessed teeth or
pyorrhea. If your dentist does not
think the trouble is with your teeth
he can send you to a physician who
can properly diagnose your case.

Beck is stumping the state on the

vidual cities are unable to launch

and so offer competition to privately
owned plants.
The LaFollette- Beck faction also
proposes that the state shall develop
q few central power plants on the
public domain and perhaps try to re-
capture some waterpower sites al

desire to put the state permanently

to provide competition and promise

NO MERCY FOR ARMED THUGS


The trustees Of the Indiana state prison have taken
practical method Of dscouragng crimes Of violence in
that state Embezzers thieves, forgers and even burg
lars will still be paroled when their warrant it,
but the criminal who uses violence carries gun may
expect to in full the sentence imposed upon him.
Henceforth the trustees will recommend for par
don or parole any individual serving sentence under
. first degree charge. Furthermore, they will reject
al applications for relief for prisoners who used
carried weapons when committing bank or payroll rob-
beres hodups burglaries. For all crimes Of violence
the boards policy will be to carry out the sentence of
the court.
That the board business is indicated from its
Wholesale refusas Of parole applications Since the
policy has been in effect it has been carried out to the
letter.
This method Of attacking the criminal problem holds
much promise. The hope Of early parole certainly
encourages crimes for big stakes.
The armed criminal is desperate menace. Possess
sion Of weapon gives him overwhelming advantage
over his victim and for that false courage. He
loses this in face of danger to himself and does not
hesitate rule, to shoot his way out. More and
more public opinion is demanding that the criminal be
treated roughly as he treats his victims.

modern coke production efficiency
can be found than the Ford Motor
company's ovens at the Fordson
plant. Here two batteries comprised
of 240 ovens produce approximately
$500 tons of blast furnace, foundry,
and domestic coke per day. Corre-
spondingly large amounts of by
products are recovered.
To insure production Of a superior
coke, the company some time ago
purchased, after careful testing, coal
mines in Kentucky and West Vir-
ginio, thus making available a con-
tinuous supply OF high quality, uni
form raw material for the ovens.
Only a portion of the coke produced
at the Fordson ovens is used within
the company. The remainder is mar
keted through reputable dealers to
people who know the advantage Of
burning coke.
The recent increase Of the number
Of ovens in operation has made il
possible TO cut the time between or
der and delivery to two days on coke
ordered through Ford commissaries
by Ford employees. This circumstance
makes Ford coke a vastly more
flexible weapon in dealing with the
sudden cold waves by which thus far
the present winter has been char
acterized.
