Appointment of the presidents crime commission still

not simply that hardened gunmen take desperate chances
in committing robbery but that they do not give their
victims single chance. They begin their crime where

A slS.o00. 600 PURCHASE

A $l5.000,000 PURCHASE
One hundred and twenty-six years
ago today the United States pur-
chased the Louisiana territory from
France for $l5.0o00o0. BY virtue Of
this purchase more land than was
contained In the original thirteen
states was brought under American
sovereignty. And largely because Ma
poleon needed money for the war
which was brewing with England, and
could not afford to experiment fur
ther with his plans for an American
colony.
BY the terms Of the purchase treaty,
signed April 80. 1908. the boundaries
Of the land acquired by the United
States were not specific. A subse-
quent treaty with Spain settled its
extreme southern borders and one
with England was necessary to define
Its extent to the northwest.

Last years large jump In the motor vehicle popula-
ton and this years carly lead preceding years in

thing they forecast crowded highways and more
money with which to build and maintain roads to meet
the growing demands. They also aggravate trouble

relief for those previously prevailing.

FARM RELIEF

CIhe washington PoSC
The house has enacted the farm relief measure spon-
sored by President Hoover by the overwhelming majority
Of 367 to g. while the senate is still hagging the
cocksure methods proposed by its members to the
Ills of agriculture at single blow. BY thus taking the
lead in the enactment OF legislation which virtually
demanded in the last election the house another
gain In public confidence and the senate not but
suffer by way Of contrast.
The action Of the house is plain recognition Of the fact
that step taken toward agricultural relief is only
experiment The effort to find economically Sound
ately lifted has failed President Hoover and those
bcrs Of the house who have interpreted his views
legislation have recognized that all the government can
and should do is to help the farmers to help themselves
But the house bill at least avoids the uncconomical and
untried debenturc scheme The death knell has beeu
sounded for the debenturc well As tho qualixaton
scheme.
The bill passed by the house provides for creation Of
federal farm board Of six members which would have
extensive powers In dealing with agricultural problems
The purpose Is to promote The effective merrhAudsin
Of agricultural commodities to protect and control the
marketing Of these products to encourage cooperative
associations, to establish and finance farm maykatig
system and to aid IN orderly production and arkene a

MAKING CHESS HARDER

Dcyotccs OF the game Of chess will be highly interested
in Jose Capabancas recently presented suggestion for
widening the scope of the game.
Capablanca who claimed for years that chess needs
revision because the experts have solved all It's possible
combinations, has suggested and demonstrated some
changes He has enlarged the size OF the board so that
contains 100 squares instead OF g. Each side gets four
new pieces: two new pawns and two composite pieces
one OF which combines the powers Of the rook and the
knight while other combines the powers Of the bishop
and the knight
Chess will doubtless be eager to see how this new
game works out the ordinary man chess still con-
tains unnumbered riddles. 1t may be, however that
the masters tournaments will contain fewer monoto-
nous draws II Capablancas suggestions are adoptco

This Is the last Of this series OF
IL articles In which have attempted
to show you q plan for fasting ana
dieting for the cure Of disease through
a cleansing diet and through the fol-
lowing OF other hygienic habits.
I am now going to outline . daily
regime for you which I consider ap-
plicable to almost every kind Of case
except those which would require per-
sonal examination and diagnosis be-
fore more specific advice could be
given.
A Good Daily Regime
Upon arising in the morning, brush
the teeth thoroughly for at least five
minutes. using good toothbrush and
any good dentrifice. Next, do some
vigorous calisthenic exercises for
about ten minutes. Include with these
calisthenics some deep-breathing ex-
ercises, and afterwards take q warm
or cold shower bath.
Breakfast: One or two eggs pre-
pared in any manner except by fry
ing. Four or five pieces Of melba
toast. or two or three wholewheat or
cOrnmeal mullins. Small dish OF
stewed fruit from the following list:
Prunes, figs, pears, raisins. apples, ap-
ricots or berries. II wholewheat, oat-
meal, or cornmeal mullins are desired,
with this breakfast, it will be best to
use only one egg, q small dish OF
mush or one or two muffins, with the
addition of the stewed fruit.
Luncheon: Choice Of one or more
Of the following vegetables: Celery,
spinach, small string beans, aspara-
gus, small squash, cucumber, egg
plant, beet tops, small beets, turnip
tops, small carrots, small parsnips,
small turnips. pumpkin, lettuce, okra,
chayotes, oyster plant (salsify), NAL
low, kale, zucchini, parsley. endive,
avocado ALLIGATOR pears), ripe olives.
You may use any selection desired Of
these vegetables, using perhaps one
or two uncooked and one or two
cooked. If the mullins or mush have
not been used for breakfast, you may
further add to the non-starchy meal
by using baked potatoes, baked Hub
bard squash. or three or four nuf-
fins made from wholcwheat or corn.
meal. Canned corn can be used in
place of these other starches, or sweet
corn used in season.
Walking Indispensable
Late in the afternoon long walk
should be taken each day. The dis
tance should be gradually increased
until you can walk four or five miles
without fatigue. After returning from
the walk, take some more calisthenic
exercises as before breakfast and fol-
low this with a cold shower bath. Lie
down and relax for about thirty min
utes before dinner.
Dinner: Choice of one of the fol-
lowing proteins: Lean beef, mutton,
turkey, chicken, rabbit, fish, nuts or

TAKING LIBERTIES
(By Alice JudsOn Pcale)

Ruth's mother used to think her
little daughter extremely pretty and
liked to show her off to company.
She would tousle her yellow hair,
chuck her under the chin, and pinch
her little arms, asking the visitor to
bear witness to their delectable
plumpness.
All this should have been very flat
tering to Ruth, but it was not: 1t was
acutely humiliating. Years later,
when she recalled how her mother
had treated her like pet poodle dog.
she would experience vividly a sort of
shame of her physical person.
Few mothers would outrage so OBJ
viously their children's modesty, but
many, without being aware Of it, do
SO only In less degree.
We do not think of taking personal
liberties with adults, and certainly
children should be treated with as
much respect. Adults are able to
ward of unwelcome comments, but
children must endure them from their
elders without protest. The child
whose privacy is thus disregarded suf-
fers diminution of his essential self
respect; he Is outraged in his finer
feelings.
A sensitive child who receives this
sort Of treatment learns to put
psychic barriers between himself and
those in whom he should feel the
fullest confidence. A less suspectible
one will become coarSened ane
blunted through this type Of expert.

But disturbing thought is raised by a recent inter-

ourselves that amount to something We have to
surmount obstacles-otherwisc don't believe in

Mr.. Hergesheimer has put his finger on one Of the
oldest conflicts in the worldhe conflict between mans
