Can Cities Be Too Biz?

And now they are predicting that Chicago,
in the near future, will be city with radius
of $50 miles from the center Of its downtown
district to the city limits.
This implies a tremendous amount of
growth, and doubtless has set Chicago's boost
ers to singing roundelays at great rate.
But will it, after all, be an unalloyed bless
ing? Isn't there limit beyond which big
ness ceases to be desirable? New York, even
now, is too big; too big, that is, for the COM
fort Of the average resident.
1t is just possible that sooner or later cities
will try to find ways to keep from expanding
rather than doing all in their power to increase
their size.

Washington-It now appears GER
tain that the two presidential can
didates will be nominated at the ma
tional conventions and not before.
The instruction season will soon
be at hand. There will be primaries
which, history shows, have yet to
decide a nomination, and there will
be state conventions, which will be
considerably more important.
In both of them, it appears, the
politicians will be working the old
favoritc son and uninstructed dele
cation game as hard as ever. This
applies to both parties, but at the
moment one is forced to suspect that
that method will provide more nour-
ishment for the politicians who hope
to stop Hoover than for those who
want to stop Smith. The situation
also holds considerably more COM
fort for those who have Vice Presi-
dent Dawes on their minds than for
these Democrats who would pass the
ball to Reed or Wooden or someone
else like Owen Young.
As far as the Republicans are
concerned, Massachusetts, is up in
the air. Hoover's friends have been
busy there, but the delegation prob
ably will go to Kansas City and vote
at first for Governor Fuller unless
Fuller forbids it.
New York politicians have agreed
to send an uninstructed delegation.
What this delegation will do at the
convention is uncertain.
In Pennsylvania, Mr. Mellon and
Mr.. Ware have yet to pass the word
down the line. The delegation is
expected to 60 instructed for Mellon.
It may later switch to Hoover and it
may not.
Senator Frank Willis seems to
have the Ohio delegation sewed up
and the Hoover people don't seem to
be especially happy about that, as
It may eventually be turned over to
Dawes.
A similar, though more definitely
outlined situation, prevails in Indi-
ana, which will send q favorite son
delegation for Senator Jim Watson,
who wants Dawes.
Illinois politicians, having about
four candidates-from their own state,
are nearly all anti-Hoover. Lowden
may get solid Illinois delegation,
which presumably means Dawes
delegation sooner or later.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question:: B. I. asks: "What is
locomotor ataxia, and what is the
cause and cure-if there is a cure?
Answer: Locomotor ataxia is
caused by some interference with the
nerve supply going to the legs. This
occurs principally in the lumbar re-
gion of the spine. A cure is pos
sible in the early stages, and in to-
days mail 1 read a letter from a
correspondent who has been entirely
cured through following the advice
she received through this health SER
vice. This patient reports that be-
fore starting the treatment she could
not walk at all and that four Lead
ing physicians in her home town had
declared her case hopeless. Her
cure was effected through proper
dietetic and hygienic rules, and no
other treatment than this was adj
vised. Special instructions will be
sent to anyone upon request.
Question: John w. asks: II am
greatly troubled with chilblains.
What remedy would you suggest ?"
Answer: The best treatment for
chilblains is to give yourself treat
ment each day by immersing the feet
alternately in hot and cold water.
This will help the circulation and will
usually get rid Of all the bad effects
which have come from having the
feet frOst-bitten.

Our Ten Greatest Men

John Haynes Holmes, pastor of New Iork's
famous Community church, undertook the
other night to draw up list of the ten great.
est Americans.
make list of "the ten creates" -whether it
be a list Of men, books, plays or race horses.
Mr.. Holiness limiting himself to men who were
born after the adoption of the constitution III
1889, and refusing to consider any who are
now living, selected the following names:
Abraham Lincoln, Ralph Waldo Emerson,
Henry David Thoreau, William Lloyd Garri-
son, Theodore Parker, Robert L. Lee, Walt
Whitman. Mark Twain, Charles w. Eliot and
Eugene V. Debs.
His list is worth studying, even though all
Of us probably would like to amend it here
and there. The variety of activities repre-
scented on it is rather surprising. There are
two philosophers, one president, one soldier,
one poet, one satirist, one theologian, one edl-
Gator, two-well, perhaps we can lump Debs
and Garrison together as two agitators."
On what basis do you suppose this list was
selected? What quality, if any, did these ten
men have in common?
To begin WITH each of them lacked the great
American instinct of conformity. Not one Of
them ever was swayed in his actions by any
fear of what people might think or by any con-
sideration of the effect upon his own fortunes.
From Garrison, who was often in danger Of
lynching, to Lee, who spurned the highest Of
flee Lincoln could offer him, these men were
independent; they thought for themselves and
could be moved from their set courses by no
power on earth.
Perhaps we can express the matter best by
saying that these ten men were, above all,
brave men. And bravery is virtue worth
pricing highly-especally in this age, when
men who seek high office walk on eggs for fear
Of offending some of US.
And it doesn't particularly matter that some
Of these men were beaten men. Lee, for In
stance, fought for lost cause and went down
to defeat. Debs died with everything he had
ever fought for crushed. Yet that hardly
matters. The important fact is that both Lee
and Debs lived; that they built up heroic lives
not for us to agree with, necessarily, but for
as to admire. They lost their fights, but
America is better country because they lived.
So is it with the rest of them. Some, like
Lincoln, left great, concrete achievements.
Others, like Thoreau and Whitman, left moth
ing but few books, which remain ignored by
the majority to this day. But each contrib
uted something; each, dissatisfied with the
state of things that surrounded him, spent his
life in an effort to remedy them.
Undoubtedly you could amend this list. a
great many names are left off that could be
put in with perfect justice; Roosevelt and
Bryan will have many supporters, and so will
Daniel Webster and jefferson Davis and John
Hay. America has had many great men.
Some day, when you're looking for some
thing to read, go to the library and draw few
books on these men. Get Maurice's Lee the

RADIO BENEFIT
For Miners is Great Success


Chicago (I. l.. N S.)-The radio
benefit performance in behalf of the
striking coal miners of western Penn
sylvania, West Virginia and Ohio,
conducted by Station VIGIL, owned
and operated by the Chicago Fedora
tion of Labor, was the greatest even
of its kind ever held in Chicago.
Starting at o'clock in the evening
it lasted until 2.45 o'clock the fol-
lowing morning, the most famous
stage and radio stars playing Chicago
at the time being participants.
At this writing, three days after
the event, approximately $4,000 in
cash has been received. An addition
