ROTARIANS FEEL
DEEP EMOTIONS
SaIvaging of Tuman Frag-
ment Stirs Hearts of Club
Members at Meeting To-
day.

The salvaging Of tiny human
wreck through the efforts of Ro-
tary, Kiwanis and 2O-3O Clubs
brought deep emotions to the Ro-
tarians at their meeting this noon
when little six-year-old Martin
Eaton stood proudly on his new
feet and thanked the Club for
what they had done for him.
Bright, happy, courteous and
well hammered, the little fellows
face was wreathed in smiles. His
terrible afflication of a year and
a half ago when both his legs
were cut off by moving ma
chine, was forgotten. He was a
new being, the prospect of lifelong
helplessness removed and a future
Of happy boyhood and competent
manhood before him. There were
no dry eyes when the little fellow
walked proudly on of the meeting
on his recently acquired feet.
Miss Withers told the touching
story of the boy as she had previ-
ously done at the hiWants meet
ing-hoW the little fellow stood the
hardships Of 16-hOur automobile
drive through a Sand-StOrln; how
he was taken to the home Of Mr.
Daley, manufacturer of artificial
limbs in Los Angeles; his fOrutuds
when he realized that ne must he
lef5 among strangers alone for 2
week and his happiness when he
was able to make the fust painful
and desperate effort TO walk on
his new fetal were touching.
Inc story OF now a Mr.. Bennett,
whose son also lost one of his legs
some time ago, saw Martin; how
ne took him to a store ano
bought him a complete outfit OF
new clothes from oVercOat TO I'M
derclothing; and then not satisfied
that he had done enough, how he
pressed fifty dollars on Miss With
ers to help defray the expenses Of
the trip was also very affecting,
illustrating again as it did that
there is still a fountain of the
milk OF human kindness In
humanity
The whole story CI Martin La-on
is touching III me extreme ana,
perhaps, repays its sorrow IN the
proof that 1t brings TO Us Of
human kindness.
Dr. Martin was program chair
man OF the day. He introduced
Joseph E. Jones OF Los Angeles
who spoke on the future Of Las
Vegas. He said that although ne
is not a real estate agent, he &C
ieved we cannot be too opCnLs0l,
ana thas Las Vegas would be one
Of the fastest growing cities IN the
81 tor tAs next 20 years. He en-
phasized the immediate necessity
of pavements and additional hotel
and office buildings. He is opening
an office to assist in financing the
future Las Vegas.
Frank L. McNally, a Rotarian
from Sacramento, representing The
Bell Telephone system, said that
Las Vegas has a brilliant future
few realize now brilliant. That he
is here to see what can be lone To

tus, the Greek historian, wrote this
about the Egyptian: "The art OF
medicine among them Is distrib-
uted thus: Each physician Is q
physician OF one disease and OF no
more. And the whole country IL
full OF physicians, for some profess
themselves to be physicians OF the
eyes. others of the affections OF
the stomach. and others OF the
more obscure ailments"
And here we've been going along
imagining that we have something
new when we say we are living In
an age Of specialists. Every age
u an age Of specialists. and al
ways has been-even in caveman
days when each clan had its cham
pion spear thrower. The key to
wealth and fame Is specialization,
doing some one thing better than
others can.-Capper's Weekly.

SET UTILITY HEARING
Arguments on Holding Bill
Slated Tonight.

A second public hearing upon
Senator Robert Moorhead's bill to
place utility holding companies
under public service commission
regulation will be held by Judiciary
A committee of the Indiana house
of representatives at the statehouSe
tonight.
Senator Moorhead led proponents
of the measure in the first public
hearing Thursday night. He de-
clared it would correct long stand
ing evils such as the fact that the
real owners of many big Indiana
utilities escape regulation of nefar-
ious schemes through the holding
company ruse and the public pays
double tribute through profits to
both the operating and holding
companies.
Opponents attacked the bill on
the ground that it is unconsti-
tutional, that in the case of
municipality owned utilities the
municipalities would come under
commission regulation and their
finances. become hopelessly involved
and that the public is not really
demanding such legislation.
