Baby SaOaAowed open
Safety Pin Monday
X-Ray Pictures Show Position of
Pin-Moving Through System
of Little One

Monday morning at about $3.50
the one-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. w. Rosenwald, of this city,
swallowed large safety pin.
The little fellow grabbed the op-
en- pin, while the mother was car
ing for him, and he Immediately
put it in his mouth. The point of
the pin stuck in the roof of the
mouth and the mother tried to dis
lodge it, but found it impossible to
do so. The baby became blue in
the face and frantic, Mrs. Rosen-
wald ran TO the neighbors for as
sistance. Upon re-entering the
home she found the baby playing
on the floor, seemingly all right.
However, they Immediately took
the little fellow to the office of
DR.. Johnson, where an x-Ray pic
ture showed the position of the
pin. Another picture taken "a
hours later revealed that the pin
had dropped down to a place about
even with the hips, or to the pit of
the stomach.
After the first x-Ray was taken
it was found that the pin was too
far down and in opened condition
with point up, it was impossible to
remove without serious trouble. The
little boy seemed to be getting
along nicely and the doctor de-
cided to let the pin travel through
the child's system. Wednesday
morning Mrs. sRosenwald informed
the Herald that the danger was
over and the child perfectly well.
Mr.. Rosenwald is a mechanic at
the O'Gara garage.

Zeppelin's Flight Here in
'63 Gave World DirigibIe
Now Successor to that Crude De-
vice ROams SkyIanes Over
World

AS the Graf Zeppelin today
nears completion of it's epochal
round-the-world fight, pioneer Min
nesotans are recalling the maiden
voyage of such craft, made here
sc years ago by the man from
whom the giant German ship takes
it's name.
1t was in 1863. A wealthy young
German cavalry officer, who came
to the United States to fight with
the Union army in the Civil war,
was stationed at Fort Smelling. He
had dreams of riding the air. That
25-year-old attache was Ferdinand
Zeppelin, later Count Zeppelin.
At Fort Smelling Zeppelin made
his first balloon ascension. He had
the military tailor sew up crude
ly constructed bag, which he then
filled with gas manufactured in st.
Paul.
The balloon went up several hum
dred feet, carrying one passenger.
But the flight was brief, for such
a patchwork affair leaked gas
easily. After the first attempt,
however, there followed As years of
effort, in which Zeppelin spent .,
fortune of $75O.0O0. Now the dream
child of his Imagination is sailing
over land and sea, only IL years aft
ter his death, March s, 1917.

Many VII attend
Onadricentennial
Lutheran People of This Section to
Gather at Long Prairie, Sun
day, Sept. 8th

On Sunday, September 9Th, the
Lutheran people of this section of
the state will attend the Quadri-
centennial celebration to be held at
Long Prairie, at the fair grounds.
There will be service in German
at 1920 a. m. and in English at
1:30 p. m.
Rev. e. T. Heyne in explanation
of the celebration said.
-Four hundred years ago, in 1929,
the present catechism was given
to the Lutheran church. The cat
echism contains in concise and
simple form the chief teachings of
the Bible and Christian religion. It
was so well written by Luther, an
exceedingly busy man, to supply
the spiritual needs of the common
people, that it has remained un-
changed to the present day, except
that it has been translated into
many languages. It has been call
ed the Layman's Bible" and Luth-
Grams all over the world are cele-
brating the Quadricentennial at
various times during this year."
Rev. Heyne, as chairman of the
executive committee made up of
representatives of Trinity and I'm
manuel Lutheran churches, an
nounces that members of his gen.
eral committee are rapidly COM
pleting details for the celebration,
at which an attendance of 1000 or
more people is expected. It has
been decided to install an ampli-
flying system for the occasion,
which will assure everyone in the
assembly hearing every word of
the services held in connection with
the celebration. Successful use of
these amplifiers has been reported
at celebrations previously held at
Young America and in other locali-
ties, and r. E. Beach is looking af-
ter their installation here.
A sub committee is also charged
with making seating arrange
ments, looking after the parking of
cars, etc. A suggestion to make free
distribution of 1000 copies of the
catechism in tract form has also
been favorably received by the ex-
ecntive committee.
There is growing interest all
through this section of the state
in the Quadricentennial Celebra-
ton and undoubtedly Long Prairie
will have one of the largest crowds
In its history on that day.

Henry Ford. Reformer

Henry Ford's latest blast is against capital pun
,shment His occasional thrusts at social maladust-
ments are the more effective because he is not
professional reforrner and because his arguments
are of the practical type which appeal to the Amer
lean public. He is the Ben Franklin of our time.
Characteristically, he denounces capital punish
ment on the ground that it is waste-a waste OF
that most valuable of all material human material
In predicting that the capital punishment bill before
the Michigan state legislature will not pass Ford says
"Take mans life and he is still that for which
his life was taken Put him to work and he becomes
something else. More and better jobs will help to-
change the crime situation"
Fords aid would be of real benefit in the new
campaign started by the League to Abolish Capital
Punishment and such penologists as Warden Lewis
E. Lawes of Sing Sing.
Here are the leagues arguments:
Capital punishment is not deterrent. 1t is ir-
revocable, even for the innocent. Jury opposition to
it reduces the convictions IN murder cases. 1t is
public advertisement of murder. 1t is demoralzing
to prison officials and inmates It inficts shame and
suffering on innocent relatives. It makes the state
murderer.
But the concluding argument of the league is
practically the Fords: 1.-THE business of the
modern community is to reform the offender"

Hoover Wins Again

President-Elect Hoover apparently has per
s,aded" Senator Smoot and the old line G. O. P.
leaders in congress that there is to be no high tariff
feast in the special session this spring.
With many of the "angels" of the Republican CAM
paign fund insisting general upward revision and
the politicians ready to do their bidding, Hoover's
feat is remarkable. He says immediate tariff re-
vision will be limited to the increases pledged for
farm relief
And after more less Tuning, the ,stalwart Smoot
seems to have decided that this administration is
going to be run by Hoover and not by the big manu-
facturers.
Doubtless the politicians will try to put through
the higher tariff plan again. but there is good reason
toexpect that the new President will be able to
handle them as effectively next time
This is not the first Hoover victory. Last month
a dominant group of Republican leaders arranged to
evade the party pledge by passing inadequate farm
relief legislation at the present short session. and
have no special session of congress. The President
elect overruled them.
These evidences of leadership in domestic affairs
following his brilliant good will tour of Latin-Aner-
lea, should be heartening to the millions who voted
for Hoover.

DENLY

Edwin B. DENLY, who died yesterday in Detroit
was the most pathetic figure of the many pulled down
by the sordd scandals of the Harding administration
among clever and INSCRIPTIONS friends"
From the time he went out boy TO the far
with his father who was minister to China DENLY
was popular. AS lawyer he had no difficulty in
winning election to the Michigan legislature and to
congress- In the world he found it easy to rise
from marine private to major
His appointment by President Harding secretary
of the navy was acclaimed widely But three years
later his resignation demanded by the senate
and the public generally.
The worst he charged with was negligence. He
signed the papers that transferred the Teapot Dome
and EkS Hills naval oil reserves to Secretary of the
Interior Fall and permitted Sinclair and Doheny to
grab the oil Without Denby's act, of course, there
could have been no Teapot Dome scandal.
Afterward he continued to argue that those deals
we're the public interest But the public preferred
to believe the United States supreme court that in
the Teapot Dome case Fall had been willing to con-
spire to defraud the United States and that in the
Elk Hills lease "the whole transaction tainted
with corruption"
Though of all the major officials stained by the
Harding administration scandals. DENLY was least
guilty of deliberate fault, apparently suffered more
than Fall Sinclair, Doheny Daugherty, Forbes Miller,
and the others.
When the blow fell he could have put the respon-
ssbity on the White House some Of his cabinet
associates But he took the blame.

How Much?

4 T THE Earl Carroll theater /
IA witnessed "Fioretta" and prob
ably no more costly show ever has
been splashed upon a New York
stage. At the end of the first act
the entire trend OF conversation In
the lobby ran to the problem Of how
much it might have cost. Three
hundred thousand dollars was
common estimate.
In justice to Carroll, it must be
said that he had mixed some good
taste with his greenbacks. Now and
again rare loneliness parades
across his stage. But in the case
of cloth of gold, and cloth of silver,
too, it seems to me that the first
hundred yards are the most magni-
ficent.
In fact, I found myself in COM
plete agreement with Miss Texas
Guinan, who remarked, Anybody
can put on a show with all those
clothes. The trick is to put one on
without any clothes at ALL"

THE HUMAN BODY AND IT'S CARE-No. s.


Of course, all of the years of mans
life at an advanced age are not an
unmixed blessing. 1t is not so much
the years as what one can do With
them.
Much of the freedom of the hu-
man being from disease depends on
what he eats and how he dispoSes
of it. Numerous studies have shown
that for every human being there is
an optimum weight for health. Not
all of US are either greyhounds or
Newfoundlands in our body built. !
The American represents a COM
bination ~of numerous races and
peoples and we have among us the
tall, thin product of England; the
round and broad German, and short
and active French; the stalwart
Norwegian and the excitable Latin.
Certainly it is the height of folly
to think that such varied people
should all attempt to develop a GER
tain body form. Nevertheless, it IS
the tendency of fashion to demand
such conformation and the results
not infrequently are the symptoms
of i'll health.
Studies made by one of the great
est life insurance companies have
shown that overweight after middle
life is definitely associated with a
shortening of life.
AS expressed by an Indiana farm
er, pigs would live longer if they
didn't make such hogs of themselves.
The human being as he passes mid
die age tends to diminish at either
end and to increase about the
middle.
Unquestionably the factor of body
weight is significant. All books on
hygiene published in recent years
discuss its Importance.

From GrouCho

MO MORE Marxes-The names
I Y of various members OF the
Marx troupe have figured in this
column a shade too frequently. Ac-
cordingly, I will agree to mention
not one of them until the early days
of summer.
But first I feel under the neces-
sity of printing a letter from
Groucho that a recent remark in
at Seems to Me" reflected upon
him adversely. "You ought to have
your mouth washed out with soap"
he begins in friendly fashion.
Thereupon he continues: Things
have come to a pretty pass, as the
dice player remarked, when Amer
lean womanhood must be defended
by an ogling roue like the notorious
Haywood Broun.
"You all bettah take care yo'self,
Broun. The hot southern blood of
the Marxes is boiling, don't mind
telling you that Chico was all for
Gaming you. Hippo said nothing but
started to clean out the family Shot
gun.

that he'd beat you to a pulp with
his own brawny fists. But a cooler
head prevailed. The boys listened
