A Warning From the Bankers

The public, credited with responsibility for the
orgy of stock speculation in recent months, will do
we'll to hearken to warnings issued at the meeting of
the American Bankers Association in Philadelphia.
The country is prosperous and will remain that
way according to the bankers. One thing about
which there was general concern stock Specula-
ton. The various issues have been forced to higher
levels than returns justify it said repeatedly and
it was regarded as regrettabe that tremendous sums
we're being drawn into speculation to the detriment
Of legitimate business and industry which as result
are obliged to pay high interest rates.
Leonard P Ayres, vice president of the Cleveland
Trust Co, and a well-known statiStician, was out
spoken in his warning Of a day Of reckoning.
Stocks are selling on expectation rather than on
realization said Mr.. Ayres. All the experience Of the
past points to the conclusion that stocks too high
and must come down"
This year may be the end of period of great credit
expansion based huge gold imports, Mr.. Ayres be-
leves. He sees the approach of new and sober
era" the transition to which will not be easy.
I'VE may look forward to the longer future with
confidence" Mr. Ayres believes but the great re-
wards of business and banking during the next decade
probably will go to the plodders rather than the
potters to the cacuators instead Of to the specua
tors to the thrifty and not to the shify 1t may
be that the hour of the oldfashioned virtues in bust
ness life is about to strike"

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE
Science Finds HOzU Glands Work

The adrenal glands lie just
above the kidneys and are therefore
sometimes called suprarenal glands.
They give as one secretion a
powerful substance called adrenalin,
which can make its presence known
when one part in one hundred mil
lion parts of blood is present.
The thyroid gland furnishes, Of
its main secretion, an amount
estimated as a thousandth Of a
gram per day. There are 480
grams in a pound. That is, an
amount equivalent to one part in
three million parts of blood.
Scientists discover the actions
of the secretions of the glands in
one of two ways.
They can remove the glands and
find out what happens when the
secretion is missing, or they can
inject the secretion and see the eff
fects of an overdose of the sub
stance.
The material secreted by the
adrenal glands seems to have the
power of aiding the action of the
sympathetic nervous system. In

Chain of Civilization

Nothing is so characteristic of
modern civilization as the way it
WeaVeS one activity into another. As
life grows complex, it becomes more
and more difficult to separate its
various phases. This is the basis of
internationalism as we are coming
to recognize it. 1t is also the basis
Of most Of the political changes
within the nations themselves.
Look what interstate trade has
done to our own theories of govern
ment, and how it has shaped some
OF the most perplexing problems we
face. Take water power, for in
stance, which used to be regarded
as a fairly simple matter, handled
as the States saw it. But rivers
have no respect for State lines, and
since they must be developed as a
whole, if developed efficiently and
scientific lily, we find ourselves COM
PEELED to doubt the wisdom of
pet tradit on.

WATERWAYS Control

Canada is confronted with a sim
liar situation. The Supreme Court
Of that country is now trying to de-
eide where provincial authority be-
gins and federal authority ends with
regard to water power. The question
goes back to navigation. In Can
ada, as in the United States, there
is no dispute as to federal sover-
eighty over navigable water ways.
In neither country are navigable
water ways navigated to any great
extent, but once they were, and that
is sufficient to keep precedent alive.
Dams and reservoirs necessarily
interfere with rivers navigability,
which ties it up with water power.
If the Federal Government controls
navigation, whether practiced or
merely possible, why should it not
control whatever interfereS with
navigation?
1t sounds like letting the tail wag
the dog, but what is that between
lawyers and politicians?

fear, rage or anger the adrenal
substance is poured into the blood,
and the body responds.
The hair seems to stand on end,
the eyes bulge, the mouth becomes
dry, the skin becomes pale, diges-
ton is interfered with and extra
sugar is poured into the blood, since
sugar is rapidly used by by extra
activity.
If adrenalin is injected into the
body similar effects may develop.
The drug is used to raise the blood
pressure, and to contract the blood
vessels.
The thyroid gland and its secre-
ton are closely connected with the
chemistry of the body, with the
growth of the skin and with the
functioning Of the tissues generally.
Overfunction of the gland and
overdosage Of thyroid extract pro-
duce rapid pulse, increased chemi-
cal activity in the body, restlessneSs
and mental excl 5enent.
Lessened function is accompanied
by sluggishness in all these activl-
ties that otherwise take place
rapidly.

Denies Debt RaviAw

President Coolidge will entertain
no suggestions from France for dis
cuSslng the debt she owes us in con-
nection with German reparations
he takes this view on the ground
that the American people viii NOT
stand for mixing the two.
Every country except France. he
points out, has agreed on terms of
GeDC settlement without bringing in
the reparations question, and be-
leVeS tnat she should approach it
in the same way.
Theoretically, that is a sound no.
sition. What France owes us has
nothing to do with what Germany
owes France.
Still, and this is worth remember
ing, what Germany pays France has
a definite bearing on her ability to
pay us.

"smith's Great Mistake"

That +5oovers breadth of experience nationally

of the United States than does Al SmltnS eHpel4e'
limited as It has been to the State of New york
that is a. major point in this campaign in beha1 OF
Hoover On that point alone many votes Will 30 W
Hoover.
A new angle in that connection IS expressed lnVer-
estingly by a reader in communication aooresSe"
IN the scripps Howard newspapers In his opinion
AL Smith made the great mistake IN ms ponClcal
career in not broadening his experience when ne nao
a chance There is food for thought in what the
writer says. The letter follows:
"vhen Smith was beaten for the presldentlal
nomination in 1924 it should have given him MS cue
He should have realized that it was national training
re needed before he could present himself to the
nation as of presidential caliber He should have
served in the senatorial chambers before making his
bid for the presidency
"The brillance that marked his three terms as
Governor of the Empire State would have illuminated
those same senatorial chambers had ne nuV TAKEN
the place of Robert Wagner as Senator from New
York.
smith would not have been nap snatcher or
corridor stroller had he been Senator BY the same
token neither would he have been wndbag. he
would have striven con5cientousy to give the nation
as whole the things required. 1t was the kind OF
draining that would have brought him into intimate
relationship with the problems OF the North South
East and West
"But the great tragedy does not lie in the defeat
Smith will suffer in November. The great tragedy
lies in what will become the wreckage of of the
greatest State machines ever assembed-the New
York State machine that he dreamed of, laid awake
nights thinking of, the machine that insured New
York's standing the greatest State in the Union
''Not only will he lose the leadership of his own
party-and who will deny that hungry eyes are look
ing upon it?-but the thing will happen this
year that happened in 1920 when similar landslide
swept Nathan Miller into the Governors chair. And
Smith will stand alone-beaten. At first they will
say his religion beat him; then they will say his
unorganized party beat him. then they will say his
prohibition attitude beat him.
"But they will not realize the thing that beat
him. Al Smith beat himself He beat himself when
s be decided to run for GoHrnor in 1926 instead Of
Witching jobs with Bob Wsgner."

Indy for Hoover

IF Roosevelt's nomination strength
ems Smith. Lindbergh's Endorsement
helps Hoover.
Your election is of supreme i'm
portance to the ~0untry," wires the
famous aviator from st. Louis. No
man in America could do as much
by saying as little.
When Bobby Jones came out for
Smith, it was easy enough to find
an Offset in Helen Wills preference
FOR Hoover, but who is there to
match Indy?
This man, be it remembered, is
respected more for his poise, sanity
and Judgment than for his exploits.
Rightly or wrongly, thousands of
waYerers will accept his opinion.

Boost Money Rates

To the same extent that war
debts seem likely to become en-
tangled with the reparations prob
lens sooner or later, and that the
old-time rule with regard to navi-
gable waterways seems likely to de-
termine our future water power pol
icy, speculation in Wall Street is
affecting business all along the line,
and that, too, in ways that have
little bearing on the value of stocks.
Speculation having reached a
point where it threatens to with
draw a disproportionate amount of
money from legitimate business, the
bankers undertook to stop it by
raising the interest rates. One eff
feet of this was to make the builder,
manufacturer, farmer and every one
else pay more for borrowed cash.
If the bankers had not adopted
such a policy, more and more money
would have been loaned for specu-
lation and there would have been
less and less Of it available for other
purposes.
Speculation of the kind that has
infatuated the public from the first
of this year is bound to make things
harder for legitimate business, no
matter what the bankers do, or
try to do.
1t amounts to nothing less than
diversion of a vast amount of
credit in order that some people
might bet on their hopes and
lunches. That means less money,
or higher interest rates for those
other people who are trying to make
the wheels go round in a hard
headed, common sense way.

DOOR OFF IT'S HINGES
HUMOR NOT A BAD SIGN
HERE'S TO ALVIN YORK

THERE'S to Alvin York, outstand-
L Z ing World War hero, now sup
posed to be recovering from an
operation in q Tennessee hospital.
When York came back from
Europe, a poor mountaineer, all the
vaudeville hounds offered him for
tunes, but he passed them up and
devoted his life to the education Of
mountain children. And he did 1t
before Indy!
Passing from Alvin York to the
lower forms of animal life we see
that former Secretary Fall will not
be tried for bribery just yet, his
health having suffered another OF
its well-known declines.
Every time Fall gets pale around
the gills we feel that if he can just
get we'll, we'll never complain about
anything.
American biologists, now explor-
ing the deserts, claiming that the

Personally we believe this is just

Indy indicates that he has no in
tention of getting married.
Should he tie up it will dilute his
popular appeal, for the world wants
its heroes to be unattached, thus
permitting those who go joy riding
in the chariot of imagination to ap-
propriate said heroes to themselves.

4 nomination of Franklin D.
Roosevelt for Governor strengthens
the Democratic ticket in New York
not only from the State, but ma

Of telling the whole story.
Franklin D. Roosevelt is one of
those rare men who cannot be
justly appraised in partisan terms.
Whatever distinction he may have
achieved as a political leader, he
has achieved more as an exponent
Of honest citizenship. His career

A GLAND is a portion of the
IN body that develops a secre-
ton.
The breasts are glands and milk
is the secretion.
The thyroid is a gland and 1t
gives the body a substance, thyroXin,
necessary for body activities.
The salivary glands Secrete the
saliva that moistens the mouth and
contains ferments that help to di-
gest starches.
The stomach has glands that Sc
crete hydrochloric acid and pepsin
and thus help digestion.
The anatomist and phySiologist
divide the glands into two varieties
those that pour out their secretions
on the surface such as the sweat
glands, or into the inteStineS such
as the salivary glands and those Of
the stomach and bowels, and those
that pour their secretions into the
blood, by which they are carried
throughout the body. The latter
are called endocrine glands, or
glands of internal secretion.

Retire Boss Coffin

While helping the rest of the State IN the
crusade to redeem Indiana, Republicans IN
Marion County should go farther and retire
Boss Coffin from all power in this city and
State.
His part in planning and helping the whole
train of sinister events which led to the dis
grace of the State was only second IN lmpor-
tance to the part played by D. G. Stephenson
The Indictment against Coffin for attempting
to bride Warren 7. McCray was dismissed be-
cause Of the statute Of limitations and he has
been free to rule and in most cases, ruin, po-
litical affairs through his hold upon his party
label and his influence in the election boards.
It was the Coffin organization in this county
which worked with Stephenson and was re-
sponsible for the Stephenson political victories
in the State.
The Republicans of the State understand
and Coffin himself understands, how thor
oughly his machine is discredlted and upon
what forces it relies to control.
The margin of votes which gives him power
does not come from the decent portions Oh the
community. He is strongest where there Is
fear of law.
, Coffin himself indicated before the prl-
,naries that he no longer considered himself a
party asset and promised to retire lie l"n1o
to keep his pledge with his party and certainty
no Republican owes any party duty 10 nln VI
to his ticket.
