him that shortly before the raid the

Capitalist law again displayed itself
in all its brightness today when it

old child of worker, to ten years
Imprisonment for the death of his

sent to state prison until he is 16
years old.
The punishment was recommended

path in event his partisans lose con-
troll of either the House or Senate.
The President has some definite ideas
on this subject for he personally cam
paigned for the Coolidge administra-
ton in 1926, when there was likeli-
hood of the Democrats gaining control
of Congress. At that time Mr.. Hoover
made it clear in his appeal to the
voters that I'VE do not propel a We
hicle forward by hitching one horse
with his head forward and one with
his head backward. Yet, this is all
that can possibly result if the two
branches of the government shall be
in different parties" The coalition
of the Progressive Republicans and
Democrats on the tariff, which proved
so effective, has brought this warning
sharply to the mind of the Chief Ex-
ecutive.
There is an angle to the tariff bat
tie that the average citizen or legis-
lator pays little heed. In this day
of intense promotion of stock selling
the great industries are Dragging of
their enormous profits, hoping to i'm
press the public. Meanwhile it is re-
ported in Washington that organized
labor is noting all these evidences of
prosperity with a view to capitalizing
in the near future. 1t is stated that
the labor organizations will use the
successful industrialists' own argu-
ments against them in an effort to
obtain higher wages for union work
ers. The Department of Labor, which
has charge of labor disputes and set
Elements, is watching developments
because they realize the economic
damage that would result from a SER
les of strikes and lock-outs through
out the country. The extent to which
these labor disturbances can go is re-
vealed in the startling story from the
strike infested areas in the south, now
claiming the attention of a Senate in
vestigating committee.
The Senate is not at all pleased
with the political bomb hurled by
Senator Sheppard, Democrat of Texas.

The Senator who introduced the
Eighteenth amendment now proposes
to hold purchasers of liquor equally
responsible with the vendor for viola

those known to be pronounced "drys"
are fearful that this measure will re-

Sheppard has fallen from the good
graces of his prohibition friends in
the Senate, because they realize that
with one-third of the Senate up for
reelection next year the agitation for
the Sheppard law will demand a def

NC PHERSON ACCUSED.
Name Of Los Angeles Temple
Leader Linked With Trial
of Mrs. Pantages.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Evangelist Aimee
Semple Mcpherson, founder and leader
Of the Angelus Temple here and its
branches in various western cities, has
been charged with theft of the socie-
tvs funds by five of its pastors, two
of whom had been discharged very re-
Gently. These five pastors appeared
at the district attorneys office and &C.
cused her with transportation of
funds.
The minister's brought alleged pho
tostatic copies of the temples records
as evidence but were instructed to OBJ
tain the original books. Simultaneous
ly, Deputy District Attorney Daniel
Beecher ordered an investigation, to
determine whether there was a basis
for grand theft charges. Mrs. McPher-
son, when advised of the accusations,
replied that she would make no state
ment.
This action was followed by an an
nouncement from the district attor-
ney's office that it had received aft
davits stating that As minutes after
Mrs. Lois Pantages, wife of the the
atrical magnate, had been convicted
of manslaughter last month"; confer
ence was held at the Pantages home
in which the evangelist participated.
The affidavit involved the names Of
Jduge Carlos S. Hardy, who presided
at Mrs. Pantages' trial and who once
was subjected to legislative investi-
cation for alleged acceptance of fees
from the evangelist while serving on
the bench, and w. I. Gilbert, Mrs.
Pantages' lawyer and former attorney
for the evangelist. The district at
torney's office is reported to be inves-
tigating the circumstances of the con-
ference at which Alexander Pantages
now on trial on a statutory charge,
was present.

HINTS ON HEALTH
prepared and Furnished by the
Public Health Education
Committee Of Minnesota
State Medical ASSN.

There has been no outbreak of in
fantile paralysis in Minnesota this
year. Whenever an occasional case
is found, the utmost of vigilance is
exercised by health authorities with
the result that no particular epidemic
has occurred in any community.
The educational committee of the
Minnesota State Medical association
in bulletin issued today warns the
public to promptly report to health
authorities any symptoms among chill
dren which may indicate the disease.
The health bulletin declares that if
Minnesota exercises rigid authority,
any outbreak like that which occurred
in 1916 may be prevented.
Despite years of research the real
cause of the infection is unknown;
hence no definite rules can be laid
down in regard to prevention" de-
clares the bulletin. During the lat
ter part of the summer, any child with
an unexplained stomach or intestinal
disturbance and temperature up to
102 degrees, with a discomfort out of
all proportion to the symptoms, should
be kept apart from other children for
few days and the family physician
called. Pains in the neck, back and
limbs, general weakness and clumsi-
ness about the fourth day CT illness
mark the onset of paralysis and may
establish the diagnosis. Then strict
quarantine must be established.
After the first week of the disease,
the second and most difficult period
begins, namely,-the period of re-
Mobilization. Neighbors are usually
prolific with advice at this time; sug-
gestions ranging from violent rubbing
with skunk oil to long and vigorous
periods of walking. This creates a
very difficult situation for the at
tending physician and nurse and a
dangerous one for the patient. The
patient must be made comfortable and
the muscles prevented from contract
ing. If this occurs it may result in
permanent crippling of the patient.
Both the family and patient must
understand that absolute and con-
tinued rest is essential for complete
recovery of the weakened muscles,
which must not be used at all except
when and as directed.
After all pain and tenderness have
left the affected muscles, then and
only then is it time for a series of
properly graded and controlled exer-
ciseS.
when the time finally comes when
the patient is allowed to be up, light
and properly fitted brace usually has
