Health and Right Living
BY ROYAL s. COPELANC. WI. ID.
Former Commissioner or Health

Men and women are only grown
up children The ailments they
have are much the same as those
experienced by an infant. The only
practical difference Is that older
persons have gained strength and.
with 1t. the ability TO resist disease.
In the long list OF human all
ments, troubling US from the cradle
TO the grave. Is that old enemy or
mankind. indigestion. You have IL.
your father and grandfather suf-
fered from 1t and your grandchil-
dren will have ii. From babyhood TO
old age. 1t Is the most common OF
complaints.
Why should indigestion be SO fire.
quent an ailment? You will ask this
question. but you know the answer
as well as / do.
Too much food. unsuitable food.
contaminated food-in one Of these
Is found the answer to your ques-
ton.
You can choke the machine of
your automobile by giving 1t too
much gas. 1t rebels at once. Like
wise. your stomach and digestive
organs rebel against an excess OF
food.
A tiny baby must be fed in exactly
the proper way or there will be
trouble. trouble which starts more
quickly than it does in an adult
The symptoms produced by the
wrong feeding are likely 70 be
much more violent than IN the
grown-up.
Vomiting Is a common sign In in
fants. If fed too fast. too often. O
too much. the baby Is almost sure 70
vomit within a few minutes after
the bottle Is finished.
II Is q very important thing to
have the hole in the rubber nipple
exactly the right size. If the OPEN
ing is TOT. large. the milk is received
so rapidly that the stomach resists.
Five minutes is too short a time 70
empty a bottle. "A quarter OF an
hour or even twenty minutes Is
about right.
Let me warn the mother. however,
that il is almost as bad TO permh
the child to nurse too slowly. III u
fingers at the bottle for a half hour
OF more. II IS likely that a lot OF air
will be swallowed with the mike
Then there will be collie and vomit-
ing.
This rs one OF the things that hap
pens when the hole in the nipple IS
too small. BY taking note OF the
time required To emptv the bottle.
il will not be difficult to select the
right sort Of nipple. The feeding
should be complete in n period Of
time not to exceed twenty minutes
and not less than fifteen.
To have the milk too concentrat-
ed. Is another cause for baby's in
digestion. II must be borne in mind
that cows milk is different from
mothers milk. Ii must be properly
diluted or its richness will upset
the digestion.
These are a few OF the many
THINGS that the young mother must
consider. I trust they are sugges-
tons that will be helpful.

The Once Over
THE yACATIONISTS' RELIEF FUND
BY H. Z. PHILLIPS

Have YOU helped yet? Have you done your bit to-
ward the great humane work Of rescuing people from
their summer vacations? Are you the sort Of person
who can remain unconcernedly IN a city home while
thousands Of your fellow beings undergo all the SUI
ferinrs Of a summer vacation? For shamel For
shamel
vacationists are now being rescued and brought
home ct the rate of 300 a day, weather permitting, but
unless the fund is materially increased at once many
poor victims of summer resort literature will be COM
PEELED to stick out their vacations to the bitter END.
Pathetic letters are coming in daily, all OF which pro-
claim that the food Is getting worse. the bathing
places more and more ~congested and the summer no
tel dance music worse and worse.
The treasurer now figures that So will bring home
a ull-grcwn summer vacationist, and that by a spe-
cial arrangement three can be brought home for SIS
A check for 500, II any good, will rescue a round
dozen. transport them to their homes and provide
them with enough medicine to get over the vacation.
Most vacationists recover rapidly with a little low
ing care, but they must be carefully watched. Often
n vacationist will be almost fully recovered when a
mere mention Of hot dogs, ice cream cones, clam
chowder, soft-shelled crabs, red ants, flies or souvenir
postal cards will cause a relapse. For that reason a
little money is necessary to look after vacationists
after their return.

prevent honest prohibition agents
from pursuing their work.
An intense bitterness DEVELOPED
between the two branches OF the
treasury department, and it was not
an uncommon thing for agents OF
the intelligence unit and for the
special assistants to the attorney
general who had been sent TO
Seattle to handle the Hubbard case
to be Swallowed" by agents OF the
prohibition unit and thtir friends.
The evidence obtained over the
whispering wires" and otherwise,
disclosed an illegal liquor business
of amazing magnitude. 1t involved
the employment of not less than
fifty persons, of two seagoing YES
sells for carrying liquor from Scot
land to British Columbia, the en-
ployment of smaller vessels for
coastwise transportation, the pur-
chase and use of ranch for an
underground cache for storage OF
liquor, the operation of a central
Office in the heart Of Seattle, the
employment of executives, sales
men, delivery men, dispatcherS.
scouts, bookkeeperS, clerks, and an
attorney.
Monthly Business Huge
Monthly transactions reached a
total as high as $4,000 and aggre-
gate for the years operations prob
ably exceeded 100000. Olmstead
was the leading conspirator. He
acted as general manager. His con-
tribution to the capital of the bust
ness was $4,000. Eleven others were
his partners by virtue Of contri-
buttons of $1,000 apiece.
Profits were divided, one-haR to
Olmstead and the remaining half to
the other eleven. One Of the chief
men was always on duty at the main
office to receive orders by telephone
and to direct the filling of these or
ders by a corps of men stationed in
another room, called "the bull pen"
At times the sales amounted to 200
cases OF liquor a day.
In this statement of the case I
largely have used the language of
the supreme court and the court of
appeals.
Appeal Is Sustained
The convictions were appealed to
the circuit court of appeals, which
upheld them, and then the supreme
court of the United States was
asked to review the case. After first
denying a review, it granted one,
and its decision upheld the legality
of obtaining evidence by the tapping
of phone wires.
Contention of the conspirators
was that the method of obtaining
evidence violated the fourth and
fifth amendments of the United
States Constitution.
On the question of constitution

volved are so interesting to the aver
age citizen that 1 shall outline them
briefly.
Wires Are Tapped
Roy Olmstead formerly was a
lieutenant of police in Seattle. He
embarked in the liqur business, and
his trial became nationally famous
as the whispering wires" case. In
one of the cases in which he was in
volved, ninty-one persons were in
dicted, charged with conspiracy to
violate the national prohibition act
by importing, transporting, and
selling Intoxicating liquor.
Of these, many lived in Canada,
and f1fty-eight were not ap-
pretended, but of the remaining
thirty-thre four pleaded guilty and
twenty-one convicted by the jury.
Only eight were acquitted.
1t will be seen from this how ex-
tensive were Olmstead's operations
and how important it was to obtain
convictions, to end the operations of
a gang that was flooding the Pacific
northwest with liquor.
The gathering of evidence in the
case continued for many months.
Most of it was obtained by inter-
cepting messages on telephones OF
the conSpirators. The wires OF the
main violators were tapped just out
side of their homes. The organiza-
ton had an office and the telephone
line from the office was tapped also.
The tapping" was done without
trespassing on property OF de-
PENDANTS.
Hear of Big Deals
For many months federal prohi-
bition agents listened on these lines.
Stenographic notes were made OF
conversations heard, and knowledge
thus was obtained OF enormous
transactions in liquor.
In this manner, prohibition agents
heard orders given for liquor by
customers, conversations between
members of the bootlegging gang,
instructions as to delivery of liquor,
and also many highly interesting II
not edifying bits of conversation
about government officers in general
and in particular.
The agents also heard through
this tapping operation much news"
that was no news to them, such as
word passed between members of the
gang as to capture of the organiza"
tons vessels, the arrest OF their
men, and the seizure of their liquor
in garages and other places.
Over the whispering wire came to
the prohibition agents messages
showing how arrested members OF
the gang had been released, and de-
tails of attempted bribery OF OF
f1cerS.
The operations Of Olmstead were
as unique in character, as they were
extensive in volume. He made con-
nections with a man having some
radio knowledge and talent and to-
gether they purchased and operated
a radio broadcasting station. This
station was used for the purpose OF
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1929-08-21

getting news to incoming boats en-
ployed by Olmstead to bring in car
goes of liquor.
Mrs. Olmstead frequently broad
cast on this station, and her pro-
grams consisted largely of bedtime
stories. 1t was the belief of the
agents and Investigators that the
stories constituted code signals to
the boats at sea, advising them when
the coast was clear, and where the
coast guard boats were likely to be.
Olmstead's radio partner, a man
named Hubbard, was arrested and
joined as a conspirator in one of the
cases. He was not tried, however,
but assisted the prohibition officials
at Seattle as confidential informer.
Later an effort was made to indict
Hubbard on evidence gathered by
the intelligence unit of the treasury
department, intended to show that
Hubbard had worked both sides Of
the street." using his knowledge as
a prohibition agent to help Ohm
stead in his operations and using
his knowledge of Olmstead's plans
to hold his position with the govern
ment as informer.
There was evidence that Hubbard
had entered the prohibition service
as a poor man, and yet allegedly
had lived like a king" on SITS q
month.
The effort to indict Hubbard
failed, however, and there were
charges that the intelligence unit
was trying to discredit the prohibi-
ton unit. Many of the people of the
state of Washington who were
strong advocates of prohibition en-
forcement felt that Hubbards in
dictment was sought in order to

atty, the remarks Of United States
District Judge Netorer are interest
ing and worth repetition.
THE fourth and fifth amend
ments can not be emasculated SO
as to give criminals carte blanche
in the use of the public telephone
utility, whether the conspiracy Is
to violate the eighteenth amend
ment and Volstead act, or for the
destruction Of life or property. or,
perchance, the overflow of the
government.
A mans house is his castle, the
four walls of his habitation, the
invasion of which was the evil
prohibited without a search war
rant based on probable cause.
These amendments do not make
the walls of this house, or castle,
co-extensive with the limits of the
city, state, or nation, and give i'm
munity to criminals in carrying
forward their unlawful schemes by
telephone activities.
such situation would be de-
plorable and intolerable, to say
the least" in the language Of the
dissenting opinion; and in the
light of the evil to be guarded
against, which must be taken into
consideration, such license can not
be given. and the lawabiding
people of the community, the
state, or the nation placed at the
mercy Of criminals seated in their
homes, giving command and di-
rection to co-conspirators through
out the city, state, or nation, and
carry forward the criminal activ-
tiles"
1.-THE people have some righgts
under these amendments, as well
as the criminals.
Although personally I still would
use my influence to prevent the
policy of overlapping being adopted
as prohibition enforcement meas
ure, nevertheless recognize that
the Interpretation of the United
States Constitution against the law
breaker and in favor of the gov
right to catch him, is 9
prohibition victory Of no small pro-
portions.
In her next instalIment Mrs.
WiIIebrandt tells how the law has
been put to work, how statutes APP
plying to prohibition were clarified
and interpreted.
