Tragic Interference

From time to time aviation develops hazards
that demand attention from public authorities Flying
never can become, casual, like motoring but always
must be governed by rigid safeguards and regulations
Among them must be strict rules concerning those
allowed to sit at the dual controls in passenger
planes.
-Four deaths already have occurred this month
which have been charged to interference with dual
controls. TWO women passengers and pilot plunged
to death in Denver short time ago because, accord
ing to the deathbed explanation of the aviator one
Of the passengers "foze" to the duplicate apparatus
Last Thursday large commercial monoplane
crashed at Atlantic City, killing passenger and
injuring the pilot and six other passengers. The
pilot claims in signed statement that the who
was killed 'interfered" with the dual operating
mechanism and prevented his rghting the ship.
Atlantic City police have criticised the pilot for
permitting the passenger to sit in the cockpit and
occupy place where, whether from ignorance, care
lessnesS fright, he could bring disaster to the
plane and its entire personnel
There is no definite or conclusive evidence that
the passenger caused the accident. But that the
practice of permitting passengers to sit at the Sens
tive dual controls in airplanes is rank folly not
be disputed. One inadvertent move may result in
wholesale tragedy.
The cockpit should be reserved for experienced
pilots else the second steering system should be
locked against interference and made completely
foo-proof.

Love or Murder2

Elfrieda Knaak is discovered lean
ing against a pipe beside the fur
mace of the police station at Lake
Bluff, Ill, her clothing burned and
her nude body horribly SCARED.
Authorities jump to the conclusion
that murder has been attempted
and go forth to find the culprit.
So would you had you been in their
place.
Meanwhile. Miss Knaak is taken
to the hospital, where, in moments
of consciousness, she explains that
she did it herself to test her love
for a man who says he did not even
suspect that she had "a crush" on
him.
If this 33-year-old woman were
an idiot, or moron, the case would
be easier to understand. but she is
not. She is not even simple, or I'M
educated. She has not only been a
school teacher, but has attended two
universities.

Not as of Old

The Graf Zeppelin completes her
Journey; not only the first dirigible,
but the first airship of any kind
to make a round trip from Europe
to the United States.
Still, there is no money in the
United States for experimenting
with dirigibles. We prefer to loan
it at per cent, or bet it in Wall
Street. That is our privilege. to be
sure, but 1t is not in line with our
grandfathers' viewpoint. They we're
gamblers right. They were no pix
ers when it came to taking chances.
They put their savings into ships
when the hazard was so great that
insurance could not be obtained for
love or money. They bet on the
railroad when most people regarded
it as a doubtful experiment. They
bought Bell telephone stock when
the majority considered it not worth
the paper on which it was printed.

The Solution

TN this problem, which may seem
l. easy at first glance, an appar-
emily ridiculous discard is the only
possible way of arriving at the So
luton.
South leads the king of diamonds.
North discards the ace of hearts.
and East trumpS with the six. If
East next leads a heart, with Yves
trumping South's ten. North will
overtrump. If East first takes out
trumps, then leads a heart, South
will win the fifth trick with his
ten and North the last trick with
the ace of spades.
But an opening lead of any card
other than the king of diamonds
will give East and West all of the
six tricks.

NOTHING does more to give life
4 Va mysterious, uncanny flavor

dences. Sometimes they merely
MAKE us laugh; sometimes they
shock us beyond expression, and
sometimes they lead to beliefs and
fancieS which shake civilization.
Who started the notion that old
women could create thunder storms
by pulling off their stockings? 1t
sounds harmless enough in these
days, but it sent 10000 grandmoth-
ers and more to their deaths on
the gallowS or at the stake. The
human mind is a reservoir OF
curious whimS and unreasoned
imaginingS, which would be enough
If life were not compound OF
chance meetings and hair-trigge-
impulses
More often than not the combina-
ton temptS us to be fools or devils,
but once every so often it reveals
us in a better light.

An advocate of fresh air today
told his troubles to Mr.. Fixit.
Dear Mr.. Fixit--Do the people of
this city ever think of such a thing
as proper ventilation of street cars?
I believe not. At least it doesn't
seem that way. Every street car on
every street car line should have
proper ventilation, not only on or
two days a week, but every day,
morning and evenings especially,
when working people are going to
and from work. have ridden
several different street cars and find
they are all sadly neglected so far
as ventilation Is concerned. Can't
something be done to remedy this?
Illinois car line should be looked
after first inasmuch as they are al
ways damned. YOURS FOR PROP
Err VENTILATION.
Mr.. Fixit referred your letter to
the Indianapolis Street Railway
Company. Superintendent James
P. Tretton promised to give 1t
consideration.
Dear Mr.. Fixit-Will you please
remind the garbage collector that
he has missed us at Tenth and st,
Clair Sts., since Aug. 3.

superintendent, promised to care

Robert Lansing dies. Ten years
ago few Americans would have had
to think twice to recall who he was.
Then he ranked next to Woodrow
Wilson in popular favor. A veritable
tower of strength when it came to
pitting our case against the central
powers.
How glad we were to see him
take Bryan's place as secretary of

parts are returned to the mill. BY
repeated grindings and siftings a
fine white flour is finally obtained,

Clean Up, Don't Cover Up

Every speech and campaign activity In be-
half of the Leslie ticket should impress the
fair and decent citizen Of the, state that the
plain duty this year is to clean up the state
house and the Marion county gangs.
The campaign against Frank c. Daily has
been unfair, malicious and vicious in its
whispers and suggestions.
The spirit of Stephenson and the poison
squads direct the Leslie activities.
The Endorsements for Leslie are dubious
and>doubtful in both sincerity and source.
Whenever Senator Watson and former
Governor Goodrich plead for the same ticket
in this state, the cautious citizen will place his
hand somewhere near his treasures. At least
he has a right to be inquisitive as to which
one is being merely "a good sport" and which
one intends to run away with the perquisites
The utility activities of Goodrich and the
political manners Of Watson should be double
warning to the voters of the state The truth
is that the gang is covering up and intends to
cover up the same practices and activities
which have shamed this state and brought it
into disrepute.
Senator Watson says that the Indictment
Of five men prominent in the machine means
nothing. Perhaps not. It may be mere acct
dent that the political morals of the machine
produces with startling regularity the sort of
officials who attract grand jury attention and
who plead the statute of limitations after they
have succeeded in lodging prosecution and in
vaStigation.
Yhe plain truth is that the Republican
party in this state has been ravaged, outraged
and kidnapped by experts who know how to
play on prejudice and passion and who have
no conscience about creating hates IN every
neighborhood, bad feeling between friends,
uuarrels between naighbors if they can retain
the places Of power.
The Leslie candidacy came from this source:
It is of small moment whether the letter written
by Stephenson that he had pledged himself to
Leslie for Speaker in 1925 was genuine or not.
It has not been denied. The truth is that the
same gang which came into power with Steph-
enson dictated the nomination Of Leslie. That
is important.
The plain duty of the voters is to clean up.
1t can be done by electing Daley and with him
state OI11ClalS VINO Will sweep OuC CHe uIuu0h
disgraces in every state office where they exist,
and with the exception of the attorney gener-
ais office, there have been suspicious in most
quarters.
1t is time in Marion county to destroy the
power of Coffin and his hordes.
1t is duty that is higher than partisan
ship The best compliment that could be paid
to Herbert Hoover is to relieve him of any
responsibility Of having carried into office
those for whom he would later feel shame.
Every admirer of Hoover has every reason
to vote against those who are using his name
to cover up and hide their own defects and
shortcomings. The gang which fought him in
the spring so viciously has nothing in common
with his purposes or his principles.
The best advertisement for Indiana would
be the defeat of every man who traficked with
the old forces Of hate or who owes his NOM
inaton to Boss Coffin.

Here is one disease for which
medical science knows definitely
the cause, the means of transmits

for which medicine has a specific
