IN NEW YORK

New York, Jan. 24.-Of all the
strange and assorted industries to
be found in New York, the prize
winner seems to me to be little
establishment down on the Bowery
where beggars are kept supplied
with their varied wares.
The very notion Of selling some
thing to beggars seems sufficient
paradox for anyone.
Just what does one sell to q beg
gar, you may ask. To which Sam
Moore, whose business Is to know
such things, would answer: You
sell them those pathetic cards that
tell Of the explosion in the mine, or
how q leg was shot off in the Civil
War, or how . horse ran away and
dumped you out, or how an eye was
lost in great disaster, or how you
were left orphaned.
For these cards, like all business
cards, are made to order. And in
Manhattan, and probably elsewhere

You sell them those little pack
cts Of court-plaster tina. they try ia
peddle; you sell them those other
little packets containing smelly
sachet powder; you sell them needles
and pins; you sell them shoe laces
and all the other wares to be found
in the beeears pack.

find none. Cherry, the unaccount-
able, could be relied upon to make
a supreme sacrifice, however self
ish she might be in small matters.
Undoubtedly the impulsive girl
had already written Nils that
marriage between them would be
impossible, because of Faiths pas
sionate devotion to the baby. Ger
tainly if she had not done 30 she
would now, for she had given her
promise to Faith that her sister
and her baby should never be sep
arated.
But there her scurrying, escape
seeking thoughts hit upon q tiny
CLEAN Of hope. Nils understood.
Nils knew that Faith was on his
side, that she desired the marriage.
Thank God, Nils had taken her into
his confidence. He would scott,
to himself 1T least, 1t the idea
Of Faiths baking the marriage on
those grounds. But-could he con-
vince Cherry without casting sus.
picion upon Faith herself?
Maybe-Faith seized at straw
maybe Cherry would be willing
to leave Hope with her, and 60
alone to Nils PARKWAY farm. But
she knew even as she grasped at
it that it was q straw. Cherry,
although she had not been . model
mother, adored Hope. She would
give up Nils rather than abandon
her baby.
Faith was weeping agonizedly

her triumphantly, until they took

Livelier Lectures
(San Francisco Bulletin

(San Francisco Bulletin)
Undergraduates at the historic Cambridge
University of England have started . campaign
against what they describe as the "insipidity
and utter uselessness" Of the ordinary lectures
to which they have to listen. They complain
of being "bored stiff"
It will be noted that they speak Of the 'ordi-
nary lectures, thereby excluding from the in
dictment such discourses as those Of CUTLER
Couch and other professors that furnish live
lier if not also more informative material.
Thus qualified the charge is probably fair
and one that could be made against universities
all over the globe.
Many educators are of the opinion that the
lecture system is an anomalous relic Of the days
before cheap printing; that it is no longer nee
essary and is in fact waste Of students time.
These innovators contend that the modern
classroom should be used mainly for answering
questions asked by students ~ web - BY pro
fessors.
Undextraduatss that ars taking their work
seriously must often find themselves several
llaps ahead Of the current lecture and It Is prob
ably the serious students ct Cambridge that are
lprotestin9 against "insipidity and utter use
lessness" Those that merely want '1ivelier
lectures" are already wasting their time at =
university and should 60 to the movies-or to

A Most Dangerous Precedent

Only two Democrats voted with the conserv-
alive Republicans to seat Frank L. Smith,
senator elect of Illinois. Thirty-nine ardent
States rights Democrats joined the insur-
rent ''holier than thou" Republicans to deny
Smith seat to which he had been elected by the
Sovereign" state of Illinois.
Regardless of whether Smith accepted cam
paign funds from public utilities or not the
United States senate set very dangerous prec-
edent in his case which it probably will repeat
when the Ware case is up for consideration.
The voters of Illinois at primary election and
: regular election named Smith. They endorsed
him with full knowledge of the source of his
campaign funds. A majority of the sovereign
voters of the sovereign state of Illinois de-
clared for Smith, but the United States senate
annuls legal and constitutional election of a
senator from Illinois upon grounds of political
expediency. Probably many of those who
voted to deny Smith seat had used or accepted
campaign funds from as questionable sources
a. did Smith.
The United States senate has affirmed the
doctrine that majority of the senate can shut
ont senator for any reason. In the case of
Smith it was the issue of campaign funds; in
some future instance it may be an arrogant
majority seeking to deny seat to senator
elect whom it may not like. The vote on the
Smith case deals blow at representative gov
eminent. Doubtless many senator's who voted
against Smith did so to save their own political
faces in the coming election because Of a fancied
public opinion against seating Smith.
Smiths credentials were valid and his title
to the office sound regardless Of what the pub
lie thinks of the constituents who sent Smith
to Washington.

When Judge Fred Brennan of Flint sentenced
Adolph Hotelling to life Imprisonment for the
murder Of little Dorothy Schneider, he ex-
! pressed regret that Michigan did not provide
capital punishment for such cases.
The judges remark probably comedies with
the viewpoint of large number Of citizens
There is feeling, in many minds, that Hotel
ling is getting off rather easy; that he is
escaping with comparatively light punish
ment.
This may be the case. Certainly the cleo
trio chair is no sugarcoated pill for any culprlt.
And yet: as we consider the life that faces
Adolph Hotelling, we are inclined to wonder
whether, in reality, he is escaping anything
Hotelling is still middle-aged man. He can
expect to live for number of years yet. 1t is
certain that no governor or parole board Will
release him. The years that remain to him
will assuredly be spent in confinement.
Furthermore, he is man Of some intelligence
"a religious man, man who, since he was
church leader, must have been given more or
less to contemplation and introspection. Think
Of the long hours that await that man, alone
in his cell with his thoughts.
Would you enjoy the thoughts that are
going to be his daily companions during the
rest Of his life? The crime that he committed
shocked the nation, inexpressibly; be sure that,
during the next few months, it will come home
to him in all its hideous reality. There will be
: long nights, when the prison is silent and the
.. cell is dark when sleep will not come-when all
that q lonely convict can do will be to lie on
his cot and think Of what he has done.
Remorse can be a torturer more cruel than
any machine man has ever invented. It thrives
best in lonely cells, and it grows, steadily and
: inexorably, year after year. Assuredly, Adolpll
: Hotelling has no enviable life ahead of him.
This is no brief against capital punishment.
! We are not trying to say that life Imprisonment
! is more satisfactory penalty than electro
! cution.
4 The point we are trying to make is that this
I Michigan murderer will be terribly punished

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: Ted K. writes: II
am bothered with constant nose
bleeds. Will you tell me the cause!"
Answer: You may be suffering
from high blood pressure which
would bring on the frequent nose
bleeds. Otherwise they are caused
by q chronic irritation OF the men,
branes inside the nose. These mu-
cous membranes become inflated and
the blood vessels more exposed 50
that bleeding comes on more readily.
Question:: H. O. P. asks: us the
expression, birds nest soup merely
cotlouuial, or is there such . soup,
and Of what is 1t made?"
Answer: 1t is a fact there is
soup which is literally made from
the nests of species Of swift called
the Collocalia, found chiefly along
the islands of the Indian Ocean and
along certain parts of the Chinese
coast. These birds construct little
cup-like nests almost entirely from
the secretions Of their salivary
glands, the results resembling ISM
glass in appearance. In their ma
tive lands these nests bring as much
as $4,000 per pound for the selected
grades. The Chinese believe they
are exceptionally nutritious, but in
fact their food value is no greater
than gelatin.
Question: H. E. M. writes: "In
your answer to III. E. NJ" you state
that the little sacks Of clear mucus
brought up in clearing the throat
are exudations of catarrhal phlegm,
and that catarrh can be gotten rid
Of by living m . mucusless diet.
Please tell me what The mucusless
diet consists Of in the way of foods. :
Answer: The mucusless diet is
composed of plenty Of green vege-
tables with small amounts Of meats,
eggs, and nuts. No starches, sugars
or fatty foods should be used.

Faith wondered as she lay in her
hospital bed, with tears slowly
trickling down her cheeks from be-
tween her closed eyelids, if any sin
ner had ever been more terribly pun
ished than she was. Cherry, Bob,
Fay, Rhoda and George, all Of whom
had clustered about her bed to cele-
brate her supposed cure from
"amnesia," had gone off jubilantly
for lunch.
And so Faith was alone with the
terrible realization of the conse-
quences of her sins Of suspicion
and jealousy. Cherry's self-sacri-
ficing promise rang in her ears: II
won't take Hope away from you. "
That meant, Of course, that Cherry
would not marry Nils. The very
solution Of her own marriage prob
lens which Faith had prayed for
and schemed for had been on the
very verge Of accomplishment. Bob

Editorial Comment
A Chance 10 Swat the Lame Duck
(Minneanolis .JournaD

minneapolis JournaD
For the fourth time, the United States Sen
ate has adopted the Norris Resolution, designed
to permit the Country, by a single stroke, to
get rid of the flame duck" session Of Congress,
to put an end to Senate filibustering, and to do
away with the remote possibility that a repu-
dated Party, in the event of an Electoral Col
lege deadlock, may foist upon the Country
President that the Country obviously does not
want.
And, likewise for the fourth time, the Con-
stitutional Amendment proposed by Senator
Norris faces hard shedding in the House OF
Representatives. Despite the fact that it has
been approved by the House Committee on
Elections each time it has come out OF the
Senate, the Resolution has invariably died on
the floor. BY an almost unanimous vote
sixty-seven to six-the Senators have again
expressed willingness to forego their lame
duck" privileges. But Congressman so far
have been unwilling to make the same sacri-
fice-if sacrifice it be.
The provisions of the Norris Amendment are
simple. Each new Congress would assemble
on the second day Of the January following its
election, instead Of waiting for thirteen months,
as is normally done now. The short session
continuing from December until March at the
end Of each Congressional term would be done
away with. The President and Vice President
would take office in January. In the event of
a deadlock throwing the election Of President
into the House Of Representatives, the choosing
would be done by the newly elected House, and
not by the House elected more than two years
previously, as provided for at present
Ordinarily we do not favor tinkering the
United States Constitution. Ordinarily we are
inclined to scrutinize suspiciously any proposal
for such tinkering that comes from Uncle
George Norris Of Nebraska, or from the group
|of Senator'S which he leads.
But here is q reform so obviously desirable,
so plainly needed, so simple and sensible, that
we would favor it emphatically, even though
its author were Tom Heflin or Smith Brookhart.
At present, an Administration and Congress
overwhelmingly repudiated at the polls, can go
right on functioning in a manner contrary to
the popular will for four long months. The
Norris Amendment would end that.
At present handful of Senators in a dying
Congress can prevent the passage of legislation
which the Country is overwhelmingly DESTROYS
of having passed. The Norris Amendment
would end that.
At present, the end of each short session
sees hopeless legislative jam which seriously
affects the quality of the work done by Con-
gress. The Norris Amendment would end that.
At present, an Electoral College deadlock
could leave the selection of President of the
United States to Congress that had just been
overwhelmingly repudiated at the polls. The
Norris Amendment would end that
| Should the House now give them the chance,
the Legislatures of three-fourths of the States
would speedily ratify this admirable measure.
But will the House give them the chance?
