and the right of private judgment"
But Paracelsus himself was stormy and cratic
sort of person and his work not as great as it
might have been.
Osler continues This first great revolt against the
slavsh authorities of the schools had little effect,
largely on account of the personal vagareS Of the
former-but it made men think.
"Paracelsus stirred the pool as had not been done
for fifteen centuries"
Paracelsus accomplished more tangible things for
chemistry than he did for medicine.
His work in che Tyro mines had given him an
insight into the real objective Of chemistry.
He led the way to useful chemistry. Alchemy, as it
was then called, was concerned chiefly with vain at
tempts to turn mercury into gold and to find the
secret of eternal youth.
He also did important work in practical pharmacy,
introducing new drugs, among them tincture of
opium. It is probable that he had learned its use
during his wanderngs in the East.
The harm which ParacelsuS did came through
the impetus which he gave to occult philosophy. He
seems to have put great faith in astrology. Many
stories were prevalent during his lifetime concerning
his practice of magic and according to story a
familiar spirit lived in the hollow handle of his
sword
Various mystic cults to have sprung from
the occult doctrines of Paracelsus.
But let not be too harsh with him, for he
accomplished as much as one man reasonably might
be expected to accomplish.

No Place for Fascism

the American Civil Liberties Union.
Arbitrary questioning and investigation are
charged, together with threats in four specific in

papers in an effort 70 gain additional evidence.
The union is right it's assertion that such activi

between the United States and Italy"
American citizenship confers on its posSeSsor the
right to speak, think and act peaceably he pleases
If Gussoni does not understand this he should be so
advised in plain terms by the State Department.
If the italians want tascism in their own country,
that is their business Use of Fascist methods in this
country is quite another matter.

A good suggestion, except that no

The notion that certain amount

an adequate comparison with the Chicago situation.
The investigation directed by District Attorney
Monaghan operating with special grand jury 81
ready has dvulged that the city OF Brothery Love Is
in no position to paint the kettle black.
The speed with which Monaghan has pushed his

the present inquiry will get results that will not be
as abortive as have several in Chicago during the
last few years

Too Big for Party

Secretary Kellogg is right. The
anti-war treaty should not be made
a partisan issue. Partisanship cat
ruin anything. 1t ruined the League
of Nations and sent Woodrow Will
son to an early grave.
PartiSanship- is a fine means with
which to put one set of men out OF
Office and another set in, but it is a
poor means of solving great national
problems.
AS Kellogg says, this treaty is not
the invention of any one man, or
party. 1t was developed as a
worldwide hope and by virtue OF
worldwide wisdom.
Let is stand on that basis. Let it
belong to humanity. Let it not fall
into the clutches of politicians and
become a football for those who do
not care what happens long as
they connect with the public pie
counter.

KXTHEN to cover an honor with

so is the subject of the following
illustrations:
Dummy holds diamonds A K 10

holds diamonds @ 876.
West should not cover. If he does,
the dummy will take every diamond
trick. The lead is sure to be in
the dummy after the second round
and declarer may be compelled to
lead up to the Queen of diamonds
eventually. There is nothing to gain
by covering.
Dummy holds clubs A 6; de-
clarer leads clubs j; west holds clubs
@ 8.
West should not cover. There
is nothing to be gained thereby.
If east holds the King of clubs he
will make it in any event. When
the declarer leads a Jack up to the
dummy's Ace, he usually holds the
King Jackie in his own hand.
Dummy holds spades A 8 5; de-
clarer leads spades j; west holds
spades @ 9 76.
West should cover on the first
round. When you hold the 10 or 9
in four card suit, cover an honor

you will establish your 10 or 9.
Dummy holds hearts A 6; de-

West should cover for the same
reason as that given in preceding

East should not cover as he can

monds. the King of diamonds must
make trick.

Just Another Reason

It is something more than coincidence that
whenever any scandal in Indiana comes to the
surface, somewhere along the line appears a
photograph or record of D. c. Stephenson.
When the vender of hate and prejudice
seized control of government and miSled thou
sands of decent citizens into trusting him with
their consciences, their intelligence and their
votes he did something more than create a
political dictatorship.
The entire basis of operation was that those
who belonged to his crowd, who accepted his
favors, were above the rules of law and gov
eminent They were to be given favors and
protection.
The theory was opposed to the very basis
= Of our government 1t created special classes
! 1t Disseminated not only against race and
creeds but against the citizen who was too busy
or too Indifferent to oppose the coming of this
super government
Stephenson is at the bottom of most of the
trouble and most Of the scandals in the State
political and otherwise.
Its influence still exists and continues even
though the man who brought it to Indiana is
behind prison walls and no longer leads. His
theory of government and much of the machine
he created is still active and still influential
Each day, with dramatic revelations from
all sorts and conditions of life, brings new
reason for cleaning out to the last remnant
every person from political life who ever dealt
with Stephenson, whoever yielded to his I'M
portunities, his threats and his Establishments.
The time has come for real cleanup IN the
State which will turn back the government to
those who have as pledge and platform COM
mon honesty and common decency, as pro-
claimed by Frank Daley.
This State needs some White Wings for its
political avenues and Streets who will sweep
them of the offal, the foul smelling garbage of
public life.
Somewhere in this State some Republican,
probably a young man of high ideals will find
his magnificent opportunity for public service
by organizing this sanitary squad.
No one likes to do disagreeable jobs. 1t is
much easier to find generals than privates for
any army. 1t is much easier and pleasanter to
raise roses than to pick thistles.
But this State does need a White Wings
souad-now and at once, to educate the thou
sands of decent Republicans who want to vote
for Herbert Hoover for President, in the ways
and methods of also electing Frank Daley as
Governor.

ENGLAND on Wheels

The British finally have taken to motoring, and
the result is general surprise party. The ministry
of transport just has finished figures which disclose
that more than six thousand new motor vehicles APP
pear on the roads of England alone every week
One of the pleasant surprises is the huge revenue
gathered in by the government. For in England the
tax on the horse power instead Of on gasoline When
the pound perhorse power tax adopted its spon-
sors optimistically hoped it would day yield as
much as $5o,0oeo0O year. The recent figures show
that twice this sum realized in the six months
period ended last May.
A less pleasant surprise is the discovery that the
roads are getting all cluttered up with machines.
Weekend driving, it is said is ceasng to be pleas
ure owing to the long lines of machines following one
after another on roads which will not take three
lines of traffic.
This has stirred the auto enthusiasts to demand
that the government pave more miles of road.

Eighty Miles an Hour

New York society couple recently bet they could
drive their automobile to Boston in less time than
the fastest train between the two cities required
They did it and their bet, but the Massachu-
sets State police looking for them because they
broke many speed laws.
The driver, interviewed by reporters, is quoted as
saying complacently that I'VE had her up around 80"
good part of the time He admitted that they had
a few escapes" but said they got through
unframed
All automobile drivers should hope that the po-
lice get hold of this pair Swimming over main
roads at eighty miles an hour is little less than
idiocy. No man has the right to endanger other
motorists in that way
A short jail sentence might persuade this wealthy
thr-seeker that trying to beat fast trains with an
automobile is not sport that any community can
countenance.

IN an exceedingly valuable and
1up-to-date manual for The tuber-
culous called Rules for Recovery
From tuberculosis" DR.. Lawrason
Brown considers the various ques-
lions related to climate and fresh
air.
The fresh air treatment for tu-
berculoSis was developed in the last
half Of the nineteenth century. 1t
is now being realized that the fresh
air is taken not primarily for the
lungs, but for its general effect on
the whole body.
DR.. Brown is not convinced that
sleeping outdoors materially hastens
recovery, provided eight to ten
hours a day, preferably during the
daylight, are spent in the open air,
and the night passed in a we'll
ventilated room.
On the other hand, when a person
works all days indoors, sleeping out
doors at night may be considered
as a necessity. A man outdoors gets
100 times more fresh air than he
could get in the best ventilated room
in any given period of time.
During the summer windows are
kept open, fresh air is everywhere

That is becoming the mystery in
too many cases.

might have been responsible for
many killings, that of Tony Lom-

Horizons Expand

We breach Stupendous ideas. The
world court represents one of them.
1t stands as vivid illustration of
how horizons have expanded during
the last half century.
Fifty years ago, such thing was
not conceived possible, much less
practical. People talked of inter-
national justice as a beautiful, but
hopeless dream. Diplomatic in
trigue seemed to stand as the last
word that could be said.
The first effort confined itself TO
the establishment of a tribunal and
a code to ''humanize War" Even
that was laughed at as preposter-
ously idealistic. When the late war
broke out, the laughers were sure
they had been right.
We have gone far since that crude
beginning. Neither Bolshevism nor
Mussolini nor the half dozen dicta-
torships that keep them company
appear quite so discouraging when
one remembers the League of Ma
lions, the Locarno pact, the Dawes
plan, the anti-war treaty and the
world court,

ing porches, verandas, sleeping
chairs and similar apparatus have
been devised to enable the person
who requires much fresh air to get
it easily.
Because of the associated climatic
condition, the fresh air treatment,
like any other, is best taken under
the advice of some one who has
given special study to the matter.

They consult one doctor after an
other, but to no purpose. They try
all sorts of remedies, but without
results. Eventually they decide that
the doctors do not know, and when
they discover one who admits as
much, have great faith in him.
When he tells them there is moth
ing organically wrong with their
son, that he could talk if he only
thought so, and that some kind of a
shock is needed, they fall in with
the idea.
Shock. to be sure-the kind that
will scare the daylights out of the
little chap-make him talk before
he realizes what he is doing-most
logical thing-why didn't some one
think of that before? And where
could you find better instrument
with which to administer such a
