IN NEW YORK

New York, March 13.-Just after
midnight, if you were to haunt the
neighborhood Of 46th and Broadway,
you might notice lad Of IA, or
thereabouts, tucking himself into a
doorway to escape the chill bite Of
the March night wind. You would
pass him by were you not looking
for him. You would pass him by
as you pass by the dozen and one
predatory urchins Of the Broadway
belt. For he is not the only young
ster caught out in the night. Watch
ing him, you would see this par
ticular youngster dart out from his
shelter now and then and look up
and down the street or across the
street, as a seaman on a ships
bridge would look out into a fog.
And what with the fleets of passing
taxis and the fag end of the theater
parade, the lad might as well be
peering out to sea. i.
Just after midnight, if you haunt
the neighborhood of 46th and
Broadway you'll see a little corps Of
blind men slowly feeling their way
through the crowd. They are blind
beggars. Their coats or their hats
carry signs asking the passing pub
lie to help them. They will not
need these signs until another day.
Their nights work is done. They
have crawled up from subway stair
ways, they have come by devious
routes from this corner and that
corner where they have stood in
the singing March wind rafting
their cups ard crying for aims. They
know their Broadway.
Their sticks 60 tap, tapping by.
feeling their way from block to

rcrerallv by some pedestrian, and
they 60 tap tapping on toward their

most Of those with eyes to guide
them. They know where they're
going. They're going to some flop

BY RODNEY BUTCHER

Washington, March 13.-One Of
the most interesting indirect results
of the Pan-American conference in
Havana was the confirmation of re-
ports that the United States had q
miniature Mussolini in its front
ward who had established an iron
banded dictatorship over a repub-
) little more than our
protectorate.
Cubans who managed
to get up here without being shot
or jailed had been telling Us ex-
traordinary tales about the rule of
President Gerardo Machado, and
American newspaper men returned
from the conference with the re-
port that they were all true.
They seem to agree, for instance,
that any Cuban who values his life
does not set up shop as q political
enemy Of Mister Machado.
Cuba became an independent re-
public in 1902, subject to our Plat
amendment, which provides that
the United States may exercise the
power to intervene in order to
preserve the independence. of Cuba
and to maintain government ade-
quate for the protection of life, prop
crty and individual liberty"
Various Cubans have implored
the United States to intervene to
maintain such q government, but
there seems no chance Of such in
tervention. They charged that in
spite of civil service laws estab-
lished by US, Machada has sup
planted civil employees by the mill
tary and supported lottery banks
from which he obtains money to eff
feet enactment Of laws necessary to
maintain his dictatorship.
This is the picture Of Machado's
dictatorship as gained from Cubans
who oppose it, and from several
competent American journalists:
Machada has suppressed all OPP
position to his regime, largely by
force. He has forbidden and pre-
vented operation Of any opposition
party. Comparison Of his power
may be made by imagining Presi-
dent Coolidge suppressing the DEM
ocratic party. Police have brutality
routed attempted political meetings
and a petition Of 10000 voters for
a meeting was refused.
The Cuban Congress has with
drawn from the people the right to
elect their political choices, wreck

Make II a Good One

Bismarck's Fourth Of July celebration should
receive the heartiest cooperation on the part
Of the business men. It is fine thing to put

the neighbors Of this city can join This city
is situated centrally to large area and if the
program arranged appeals large attendance
is assured.
It has been several years since the Capita
City staged real Fourth of July celebration
Care should be taken, however, to provide plen.
ty of amusement and to see that the crowds
are kept entertained and that the amusement
is accessible.
This can all be done if the community lead

and make the proper investment of their time
and funds to create more goodwill for this city.
By all means a real, resounding Fourth OF

QUESTIONS Ann ANSWERS

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
question: Esther writes: 81 have
chronic appendicitis and have heard
that olive oil is very good. How
much should / take and how often? ?"
Answer: Olive oil is a good oil
to use at any time and if used in
large quantities it does have the
effect of lubricating the bowels,
and is good remedy to use in over
coming chronic appendicitis. 1t may
be taken on salads, or in a large
dose of as much as four ounces at
bedtime. A good way to take this
large dose is to combine it with an
equal amount of grapefruit juice,
and drink it just before retiring,
as far away from the evening meal
as possible.
Question: Mrs. w. X. asks: "Why
is the sulphur on dried fruits HARM
ful?"
Answer: If any sulphur is left
on dried fruits it may prove HARM
full due to the excessive gas which
is produced when too much sulphur
is used in the diet. Very little sui
phur is used at the present time in
drying fruits, and the only ones of
which you may be suspicious are
the light colored figs and raisins
which are often bleachcd by sui
phur gas.
Question: Miss B. writes: II
am a person seemingly in good
health but on arising in the morn
ing, underneath my eyes is very
swollen and puffed. During the
day this seems to 60 away, only to
leave creases and marks. / drink
hot water in the morning about a
half hour before breakfast. Is this
all right"
Answer: The swelling is due to
some congestion in either your blood
or Emphatic circulation. Such con-
gestion may come from either kid
ney or heart trouble. Do not guess
about it. but have good diagnosis
made.
