Punishment Certainty Is

BY MORRIS P. MOORE

The Marion County grand jury
went on record today unofficially as
favoring a return of the old-time
Whipping postS-aS crime preven-
tive.
Five OF the six members of the in
quisitorial body told newspaper men
they favor such method of punish
ment, particularly for wife beaters,
wife and child deserters and for the
younger criminals of a more serious
nature.

Called Dark Ages Relic
Cottman differed with the other
five, seeing the whipping post as
revival of 20 brutal sort Of punish
ment that failed in the dark ages"
Hard labor would be far better,
as a deterrent to crime" he said.
Criminal Judge James A. Collins
also differed with the grand jury.
Certainty of punishment, rather
than severity, is needed. Speedy
trials rather than corporal punish
mei't will deter crime" Collins said
THE whipping post in Indiana
would be a step backward in our
civilization"
Such a drastic change in the
criminal code would necessitate &C

VETERANS RETURN TO CUBA

Memories Of three decades ago will be revived by the
announcement that the next annual encampment of the
United Spanish War Veterans will be held in Havana
In October. Reminiscent of the Maine will be the
rival Of the battleshp Texas with the official party.
Twenty thousand Americans will participate in this
second invasion Of Cuba. In the invading hordes will
be veterans Of the SpanishAmerican war and heroes
Of the World war, Boxer Rebellion and Philippine in
surrection.
The short and comparatively bloodess with spain
seems rather remote but there great numbers
Of Americans still living who remember the intense ex
element occasioned by the sinking of the batteship
Maine and the rapid succession Of historical that
followed and reached climax in the capture of the
Spanish navy in Manila Bay.
Cuba feels that that fought for her. for she
has profited most from the American victory In the
years thai have elapsed since 1898 she has been trans
formed from dirty, poverty stricken island into
land Of beauty and wealth The returning Spanish
American war veterans will a far different pam
spread out before them than they did when they
entered Havana Bay thirty years ago.
But Cuba did not reap all the benefits from that con-
41ict. It forced the world to recognize the United
States world power, and it ended for all time Euro
pean interference with the political affairs of the
Americas.

Almost every person has at some

quently caused by defective ventila-
ton.
Scientists have made some remark
able Investigations into the prob
lens Of ventilation, and they have
discovered that one Of the chief diff
ficulties of crowded rooms is over
heating. It has been experimentally
proven that a crowded lecture hall
filled with drowsy people can be
made more comfortable and the audi
ence more wide awake if one or two
electric fans are installed. Electric
fans do not increase the amount of
oxygen in the air, or decrease the
amount Of carbon dioxide, but they
do stir up the atmosphere 50 that
there is a greater evaporation from
the skin.
In the dry heat of the desert, peo-
pie can retain their vigor and work
under a temperature that would
cause heat prostration to those in
humid climates. In the Coachella
Valley farmers will sometimes work
in a temperature Of 125 degrees to
100 degrees F. and be less inconven-
fenced than those people in New
York City would be at temperature
|of SO degrees F.
The body's heat regulating mechan-
ism is not as effective as many peo-
pie suppose, since the temperature
of the body may rise to one or more
degrees above normal in a heated
room that is saturated with moisture.
This is because the body is unable to
cool itself by evaporation Of moisture
from the skin when the atmosphere
is saturated.
When the electric fan works prop
erly, it cools the body by creating
an air current. Air currents are
now recognized as being of great i'm
portance for churches, theatres, and
lecture halls. Of course, it is i'm
portant not only to have q moving

so to have a fresh supply of air 50

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: Mrs. D. r. asks: "Can
you tell me whether children born Of
older parents are more intelligent
than those born Of young parents :"
Answer: The influence of the age
Of the parent upon the child has
never been accurately scientifically
determined. Parents with active
brains, regardless of their ages, US
ually have intelligent children. It is
supposed that younger parents have
children that are stronger physically.
and older parents have children that
are stronger mentally, although this
belief is not recognized by science. .
Question: Alice J. asks: do the
food colorings, sold in paste and IL
quid form for household use, con-
tain anything that would be harm
full to ones health? 2"
Answer: The various color ex.
tracts now on the market are made
mostly from harmless vegetable and
color extracts, supplemented by q
number Of coal tar, or aniline, dyes,
approved by the government after
painstaking investigation and analy-
sis. As long as their use is solely
to enhance the enjoyment of foods
and not to conceal their inferiority.
II do not consider these colofings
particularly harmful, especially since
they are used in such limited guam
titles.
Question: W. K. asks: "What
causes pellagra?"
Answer: Pellagra is q disorder

IN NEW YORK

New York, Sept. 12.-Notes from a
recent vacation: They call New
York a hard, heartless city. Oh,
very well!
We were all sitting about the
rough table of a fishing camp.
Something like fifty miles from the
beaten path. The sort Of country
where, one would assume, the sheer
loneliness Of the surroundings would
engender q kinship among all living
things. And we fell to talking
about the quaint characters Of the
"far away" spots.
No matter how far away the place
or how scattered the community,
there is generally one simple fell
low" concerning whom legends have
risen. And here, in the heart of
the kawanha Lake belt, they began
to tell Of "Red.'
HE amt very right mentally" the
narrator was saying. There was
three boys and they all left home.
Their mother was cruel to 'em, SO
they say. Two of 'em went all right,
took farms and settled down. But
Red wasn't very right. He inst went
drifting around doing odd chores.
That fellow never had roof over his
head. No one knows how he sleeps,
or how he eats. He hangs around
the fire rangers station. You can
generally find him there or at the
crossroads post office. They're u
miles apart. He reads a lot and. the
funny thing is, when he wants 20 he
can talk first rate. But they all
say he's SIMPLE and the folks are
always playing tricks on him.
They're always pranking him some-
how or other.
You never can tell where he'll
show up. The places here are miles
apart, you know. Well, in the heart
Of winter with the thermometer at
30 below. Red will show up looking
for work. God knows where he's
been sleeping, or how he's been eat
ing. He generally looks as though
he hadn't been eating. So they'll
take him in and give him 4 lot of
work to do. It's work they'd have
to pay a regular man as much as
$40 for. And they'll take Red and
make him do all the work.
Well, last winter one of the farm
ers kept Red working for four days.
Hard work, too. And when it was
over they gave Red so cents and
showed him out into the snow. A
blizzard was blowing. too. It was
