CORINTH, Greece, May 2l- When earthquakes laid Corinth in ruins Miss Emma D. Cushman, of Boston, was called from retire ment to take charge of the first aid station at Corinth.
 Miss Cushman has given more than 30 years of her life to mis- sionary and relief work in the Leyant. As youthful trained nurse she went to Turkey under the American Board and estab- lished schools for nurses. When the war came on she was at Ko- mia, on the Anatolian Plateau.
 Turks. Greeks and Armenians alike respected her. She was non political and had the confidence of all the warning races in Tur- key. DispG.es and troubles of all sorts were referred to Miss Cush. man, who was universally called the Queen of Konia
 She handled millions of dollars of relief money for the prisoners who had fallen into the hands of the Central Powers and were in Turkey.
 Then she turned to relief work among the Armenians and Greeks who were driven from the in terior of Asiatic Turkey. At Ko mia she supervised orphan schools and camps established by tn American Committee for Relief il the Near East.

STYLES SET FORTH
 IN BLACK AND WHITE
By HAZEL REAvIs Associated Press Fashion Editor)

PARIS, May -Dressmakers have carried out their new ideas for summer clothes in black and white. or dark gray. Color is conspicuously, unimportant in fMe collections of the mid-season. 'ni
 Black. particularly for coats is made even more important than it was in the spring showings. It appears in silk and wool materials and is most frequently trimmed with white ermine, or erminette, an imitation. The white fur is used in a variety of. new ways, the principal one being Louis Quinze bow knots.
 , String ties of ermine and col lars which extend into pointed yokes in back are seen at several important houses. One model has "a little Napoleon cape bordered with white ermine.
 For wear With these coats there are. dresses which combine black and white in satin, silk crepe and wool crepe, White ermine is also used on black frocks, particular ly in. bow-knot trimming. Inset bow knots, of white satin on black are, introduced in the mid-season styles. a
 Black broadtail cloth is indi- cated as a likely material for gen eral use next fall. It is used for dresses as well as coats at some houses and combined with plain cloth as we'll as real fur.
 A model. which has attracted much attention is, frock for fall with a black crocheted chenille blouse sewed to pleated black satin. skirt. It has the inevitable touches of white, m ,
 A soft shade of blue mauve re- CUTS frequently in the collection, particularly for tailored suits and ensembles. There also is much dark blue for summer afternoon costumes. ~
 , Worth introduces new da- lnask,like. material with a sateen surface, using it for beach coats and for one short jacket with a dark skirt. The. patterns of this material are large and the colors soft gray or. oyster white.

Making 1t Unpleasant for
Criminals

New York state leads the way in taking definite
action 70 reduce crime. Instead Of passing new laws
and regulations to encroach upon the rights and privi-
leges Of law-abiding citizens, it passed the Baumes
law in 1926. which automatically sentences q man con-
victed for the fourth time Of committing a felony. to
life Imprisonment.
Naturally, there have been objections to this law
because it has teeth" in 1t. but if crime is to be re-
duced the number of criminals and potential criminals
must also be reduced. There is no excuse for a man
comrItting four crimes of a character to involve a pen
iteEtiary sentence. Why should the public be subject
ed to the danger of meeting habitual criminals?
New York has taken a step in the right direction.
It should be upheld in its program to catch the crook,
keep him caught. hand him a fitting sentence, and see
that he serves it.
Sentimental individuals claim that severe punish
ment does not deter the criminal, but makes him hate
society. This apparently has not been the case in New
York. The certainty Of life Imprisonment for a fourth
felony has stayed the hand Of the hardened criminal.
He thinks twice before sentencing himself under sucn
a law.
What New York has done the rest of the country
must DO if it actually desires to overcome the criminal
elements: make it not only Improbable but highly in
convenient and dangerous for the perpetrator.

GARNER THE LEADER
CHouston Post-D ispatchJ }.

thouStOn GOSt-DlSpatchJ.
BY far the most interesting congressional race in
prospect for Texas this year is warming up" in the
Fifteenth congressional district, where John Garner,
one of the most widely known soons of the national
lower house. faces a fight for reelection.
The Fifteenth congressional district is one Of the
largest in America in point of size. 1t embraces TWEEN
ty-three Southwest Texas cou~nties-Atascosa. Brooks.
Cameron. Dimmit, Duval, Frio, Hidalgo. Jim Hogg, Jim
Wells, Kennedy. Kinney. Kleberg. La Sale. Live Oak,
Maverick. McMullen, Medina, Starr, Uvalde, Webb.
Willacy, Zapata and Zavalla. The Sixteenth and the
Eighteenth districts are larger than the Fifteenth
They are larger than al New England, for that mat
ter, with several other small sized states chuckcd in
That Mr.. Garner should encounter serious opposi-
tion in his district is a source Of amazement to mem
bers Of congress who know the Southwest Texan init
mately and appreciate his sterling worth.
Mr.. Garner is recognized in congress as one Of the
nations leading experts on fiscal problems and as a
solon of remarkable all-around ability. absolutely clean
character and a long constructive record which any
congressman well might envy.
The veteran Uvalde solon as rendered distinguished
service to all Of Texas. without neglecting the needs
Of his own district. And his services to the democratic
party entitle him to the praise Of all good democrats.
IF the democrats should win a majority Of the lower
house at next falls election-and they have a splendid
chance to do so-Mr. Garner will win BY right Or preca-
dent and merit to the most important post ever held
By a lower house member from Texas. He will become
speaker Of the house.
Since Mr.. Garrett of Tennessee. the house minority
leader. is not seeking reelection, Mr.. Garner will be-
come minority leader in case the democrats are in the
minority.
In either position he would reflect lustre upon his
district and his state.
In view Of this preference which Mr. Garner will
attain if he is reelected. and in view OF his services to
his state and his party. the outcome Of the fight in
the Fifteenth congressional district j. Of statewide
concern.
The general belief j. that Mr.. Garner will Be over
whelmirgly Endorsed At the July democratic primary.
The Fifteenth congressional district takes in the Lower
Rio Grande Valley and adjacent counties, a region un-
dergoing marvellous physical expansion. 1t is not rea-
sonable to suppose that the progressive, intelligent
eitizenry of this district will desert a leader Of eminent
ability and worth at the very time when the greatest
congressional h.uor ever to be bestowed upon a Texan
is in prospect for him.

ing the party that adopted the free silver plank. With
them there il but one issue-farm relief. Prohibition,
the big Issue in the South, does not interest them ma
teridlly; hut they do demand q president who will not
veto farm relief when the next congress passes the
bill.
Failure to secure endorsement Of the farm relief
program by the republican national convention is ex-
pected to be followed by . similar appeal to the demo-
cratic convention and the formation of a third party
in the event OF failure at Houston. The republican
party cannot endorse the Coolidge policy and farm
relief in the same platform, but the democrats are
free to accept the agricultural program, providing the
opposition Of the East can be overcome.
Political history will be repeated this year, j. the
prediction Of. political leaders who have carefully an
alyzed the situation. They predict that the republican
national convention will not accept the farm relief
plank, but that it will be accepted as an issue by the
democrats, as the democrats in 1896 accepted the Bryan
free silver plank and combined forces with the North
western populists. Financial leaders, however, will not
oppose farm relief as they opposed free silver, and the
agricultural interests are very likely to see their pro-
posed program accepted as a national program within
another year.

Hughes Raps Unintelligent
Regulation

There is no question but what so-called "big basil
hess" should be subjected to strict laws and regula-
tions to prevent the abuse of power. On the other
hand, there is no reason for c~rucifying "big business"
Just because it is big.
big business is just as honest and well managed,
in fact, it RS generally better managed than little bus
mess" As a matter Of fact, big business is nothing
more nor less than grown up little business" con-
Quoted upon a broad basis which gives uniform service
over wide areas.
The owners Of so-called big business" in the Unit
ed States today are millions Of small stockholders who
ara wage sarnsrs. housewives, clerks and workers Of
every description. Therefore, legislation, regulation
and taxation affecting "big business" vitality affects
countless individuals doing business in a very small
way.
To illustrate, an attempt is being made in congress
to change the formula adopted in 1921 for the taxation
Of insurance companies under the revenue act. The
house favcrs the present formula, but it has been
changed in the senate.
This may seem like a small matter but it involves
every insurance company in America which. in turn,
means that it involves every individual. home and bus
mess. for insurance protection is universal.
At the annual meeting of the national board Of fire
underwriters held May "a Charles Evans Hughes said
in part:
you can readily see in the fire insurance business
what havoc would result if governmental regulation
were unintelligent.
Eve now have to deal with what we regard as I'M
fortunate attempts at regulation in certain communi-
ties-attempts which seem to destroy some Of the fun
damcntal tcnets Of the fire insurance business
II Is not scientific and needed regulation or legis-
lation which raises - with business, but il is
constant tinkering. tinkering. tinkering which frightens
investors, reduces earnings, creates uncertainty in en-
pIoymcnt and destroys stability in values and general
business prosperity. This question OF changing federal
insurance taxation is just a sample of the political
tendency to continually tinker with the most implicat-
ed business practices.

Improved Highways Pay
Dividends

1t is expected that 1928 road building activities will
exceed all records.
Twenty thousands miles of surfaced roads are to be
built, and about 5000 miles graded and drained
Throughout the country a multitude of plans have
been laid for improving the existing highway systems
as well as extending them.
A high degree Of road service is assured, by the fact
that about 100000 miles Of the total 2ss,000 in state
highway systems are this year TO be maintained under
state highways departments supervision.
Early estimates give amount available for road ex-
penditures as being much greater than last year. From
the various sources, it j. expected that highway funds
will be upwards Of 81 800, 100000.
These highway facts should please everyone. There
is no such thing as road building expense, unless It be
shortsightedness that constructs poor or inadequate
roads. Every dollars put into a modern highways for
building or widening is an economy and a dividend
paying investment.
The United States highway system is the best in
the world.

A Return to Populism

The political stage in the Northwest Il all set for
a reproduction Of the days Of popuIism, j. the opinion
Of political observers. who note in the demands and
unrest Of the agricultural sections ell the symptoms
which preceded the political drama Of the early COS.
At that time free silver. which was supposed to
correct all agricultural ills, was the paramount issue.
as today farm relief occupies premier position in all
political alignment and controversies throughout the
Northwest. That the farmers are incensed by the two
vetoes rendered the farm relief measure by President
Coolidge is stating the situation very mildly. They
are more than ineensed; they are angry; and they have
buckled on their war belts and are on the scout for
scalps.
The following resolution passed BY the "On 70
Kansas City Club" Of Morris. MINI, typfies the senti-
mcnts Of the great majority OF Northwestern farmers.
II was passed az a mass meeting Of farmers in when
over a score pledged themselves to attend the Kansas
City convention and join in the demonstration intended
to impress upon the republican leaders the sentiment
Of the agricultural west. The resolution sets forth
the determination Of the farmers in the following Ian
ruare: an the election of 1928 we will consider the
first law-that of self preseryatiOn-Paramount to all
other obligations whether of party or otherwise, and VIC
viii reward our friends and punish our enemies"
As in the days Of %populism, there is apparently no
common ground upon which the proponents and oppo-
nents Of what the farmers consider the paramount is
sue can compose their differences. Northwestern
farmers have indicated they will support the presi-

THE RISING TIDE AGAINST BLLBoARDs

the billboards.
The billboard restriction committee reported, during
the San Antonio convention, that 224 Of the Leading
national advertisers and eighteen advertising agencies
have declared themselves in favor of restriction Of
outdoor advertising to commercial districts. This
shows. according to the report. a gain of 700 per cent
over the list of thirty endorsers reported at the last
biennial in Atlantic City in 1926.
These firms agree" continues the report. chat
business can succeed without using the landscape for
advertising, and further agree if they use billboards q
keep them IN commercial districts. The list, which IL
prominently displayed and widely distributed nj the
biennial, EXPLICITLY states that no firm Is asked 70 give
up outdoor advertising, but only Ia restrict itl
Included in the list OF firms which have endorsed
the anti-blllboard campaign are names which are IA
miliar to every person. In nearly every case the firms
are leaders in their respective lines.
Aside from the purely aesthetic aspects. there i a
business argument against billboards, especially when
they are situated along highways. The motorist. speed-
ing along at thirty or forty or fifty miles an hour. has
little time to spend reading bilboards. Even should
he wish to read them it would be a physical impossi-
bility to absorb more than a few words. The adyer-
tiser. then, gets little or no return from his expendi-
ture.
That, of course, IL q minor argument, insufficient
in itself to condemn the billboard. The chief indict-
ment against ~billboards j. their destructiveness Of the
beauty which nature has provided.
