Reason

II ING GEORGES illness sent a
N shockthroughout the British
empire, for he is reverenced all the
more because he is a tradition, not
a power.
He represents the nation, past,
present, and future; he is the head
of the worldwide British family.
Without the crown, which each
in his different part of the globe
engraves with his own sentiment,
the empire would fall to pieces.
n
Considering the number of more
important things, the murder of
Rothstein, the New York gambler
and dope merchant, receives entire
ly too much attention.
1t is amazing that statesmen close
to Mr.. Hoover should doubt his
calling a special session to deal with
farm relief, after his definite
promise to do that every thing.
1t wouldn't be so bad if the sale
of liquor to children were confined
to Chicago, but this unspeakable sin
is being committed all over the land.
If she marries this Italian count,
just divorced by Chicago girl, Tai
lulah Bankhead, the American ac-
tress, will be entitled to anything
she gets and Tallulah probably will
get it where Tallulah wears the
beads.
1t is pathetic to read of Amund-
sens medals being sold to pay his
debts, but a lot of disabled eX-serv-
ice men gladly would trade theirs
for a good job.
General Chang, who lost most Of
his money in the Chinese war and
all of his thirty wives, could recoup
his fortunes by learning a mono
logue, organizing his ladies into a
musical quartet and doing the
American chautauqua circuit next
summer.
The latest biographer of General
Grant says he fought clear though
the Civil war without using pro-
family, but he had abundant provo
cation for it, particularly when the
jealous military politicians had him
arrested for taking the war seriously
and pursuing the enemy without
permission from the bureaucrats.
II
Naturally it seems strange to us
that the foreign minister of Bull
garia should ask the United States
to put down the rebellion which
threatens that country, but If we
had joined the League of Nations
we likely would be on our way.
=
It would have been very humiliat-
ing to Mr.. Hoover, if after having
had the dreadnaught stop to let him
fish, he had not had a single nibble.

vessel system of the body to changes
in temperature.
1t is possible to accustom the body
to cold, and the lighter clothing
worn by women today is perhaps
doing something in this direction.
The control of the temperature
of the body lies in a heat regulating
center in the brain, which governs
the supply of blood to various
parts.
If one sits all day in an extremely
warm room, according to Doctor
Roberts, it is to be expected that
the heat regulating center will be-
come fatigued and will fail to
function.
Many foods which one eats tends
to heat the blood in contrast with
others which supply different types
of energy. Large amounts of fat
are excellent in the diet of the
Eskimo, but are not needed in the
diet of the American business man.

WITHOUT THE CROWN
TOO MUCH ROTHSTEIN
LOOK OUT, TALLULAH

TINE most disgusting scene in the
l. history of America jurisprud-
ence occurred in that Chicago court
where, after five minutes deliber-
alton, the jury acquitted the father
who went home drunk and shot his
son to death.
The prosecutor wept, the judge
wept, the jury wept, the audience
: wept-and Justice surely wept!
After all the oil experience
President Coolidge inherited from
the Harding administration, you
wouldn't think he would dream of
accepting the presidency of the
American Petroleum institute.

SWarming Millions

Disarmament of the civilized
world at this time would be the
worst thing that could happen to
the ideal of international peace. It
would amount to no less than an
open road for the semi-barbaric
hordes which still constitute more
than one-half of the human race:
The thought that if the five or
six greatest powers were to disarm,
the swarming millions of Asia and
Africa would do likewise; that their
conception of world order is at
all like ours; that they would hold
out their hands and cry "comrade"
in grateful response to our example,
and that we face no more compli-
Gated problem than to set such an
example, is a mere bit Of romantic
idiocY,

Is camphOr good to prevent

Gum camphor is less effective
than some other moth preventatives.
If a good quality and used at the
rate of from one-half to one pound
to each five cubic feet of space in
tight containers, gum camphor will
protect. All stages of clothes moths
are killed by the fumes given off by
gum camphor; hence camphor, to
be most effective should be broken
into small pieces and used in tight
containers which will confine the
fumes. While camphor does kill
some eggs and larvae when sprinkled
in small pieces upon infested cloth
in open containers such as bureau
drawers, pockets of clothing, ETC.,

Developing Inland Waterways

Herbert Hoover has promised complete and
effective development of inland waterways transpor-
tation Not once, but many times he has emphasized
his desire to create a system covering many thou
sands of miles and reaching points now considered
almost inaccessible.
That he will seek to carry out this program there
is not the slightest doubt, but like all great projects
it is one that will require years to accomplish.
Tied in with this development is the problem con-
fronting the railroads They fear this new form Of
competition just as they have feared motor trans
portation In our opinion it is a needless fear The
country needs every form Of transportation that
be developed-rail, water, motor, and air.
Development of water transportation will not ruin
the railroads; it will help them.
We look to Hoover to carry out his water program
regardless of the opposition of the railroads or any
other interests an opposition selfish in the extreme
In doing so we have no sympathy for calamity
howlers or those who fear their investments may be
imperiled.
Development of inland water transportation on
the Mississippi hasn't injured the railroads, nor will

Prohibition Commissioner Doran as
serted today that effective work by the
Coast Guard caused decrease of o.
900 900 gallons In the amount of liquor
shipped from foreign ports intended
for illegal entry into the United States
for the fiscal year ended June 80, 1928.
In 1927, he said. 100000 gallons
of liquor left foreign ports presumably
for this country. In 1928 the amount
dropped to 100000 gallons.
"This decrease" the commissioner
said, twas directly due to the breaking
up of rum row by the Coast Guard"
The figures on the amount of liquor
shipped from foreign countries were
secured by the Division of Foreign
Control of the Treasury. Under exist
ing treaties, foreign countries report To
this division each shipment of liquor
that leaves their ports intended for the
United States.

tors and special agents of the bureau In

mex Continues.

MOSCOW, July 1.-THE newspaper
Dzvestia today published an interview
with Prof. F. Behounek, survivor OF
the Inflated Italia In which he quoted
Dr. Finn Malmgren as saying the
dirigible had been mismanaged
The statement that they left Malmgren
behind alone In grave Of ice has been
attributed to his rescued companions.
His fate has caused criticism of the
Mobile expedition. Behounek, Czecho-
siovakian meteorologist. was one of the
group hurled on the ice by the crash
and rescued by the Russian ice breaker
KrasSin.
(Gexl Mobile sent statement to Stock
holm last week saying that he had no
misunderstanding with DR.. Malmgren
and that relations of the whole party
were at all times frank and hearty)
The dispatch to Izvestia from its COR
respondent aboard the KraSSin quoted
Behounek as saying of the expedition:
Throughout we had been overworked
and had little sleep. Shortly before
the crash, went to awaken Pontremon

was sleeping, but met DR.. Finn Malm-
gren, who seemed worried. He told me
the airship had been nismanaged.

We Immediately rose 400 meters. Then
we rapidly began to descend again.
About Is minutes after the initial
crash and after the dirigible had car
ried off the Allesandri group (of six
men) we saw smoke but did not hear
an explosion, which indicates the pos
sibility that the group is alive.
Our desire to investigate the area
Southeast of the Pole wrecked the
dirigible as we purposely drifted with
a storm to enable the making of this
