The Baby Case

CPEAKING of Chicago, the Bam-
~ berger-Watkins baby case has
broken out all over again, though
every one supposed it had been
settled, especially as the mothers
snapped babies in compliance with
the decision of seven great scien-
fists.
But Papa Watkins says he will
sue, even though his wife is now in
possession of the child for which he
threatened to sue in the first place.
1t seems that the baby carried
home by the Bambergers has been
baptized in the Catholic church,
while the baby carried home by the
Watkins has been baptized in the
Presbyterian church, and now that
they have been exchanged, each
household is wondering how it can
make its religion and offspring fit.
Why not call theological con-
gresS to solve the problem?

1NGI AOO4 Lands

TT was exciting when Byrd discovered that new
i land at the south pole, but it's greater thrill to
discover multmillionaire who with the clear eye
of the economic engineer, socetys duty to its
unfortunateS.
Such man is Alfred Y. du Pont of Delaware, now
doing beautiful piece of constructive civilization.
Out of his own pocket he pensions LOO destitute
old men and women, which is better sport than
shooting grouse in Scotland elephants in Africa.
He has taken eleven hundred human disasters
from the almshouse of Delaware and he is going
to take more he has tied cans to the tails of LOO
wolves of want and he has just commenced to tie!
A BELIEVER in old age pensions, Mr.. Du Pont
urged the state of Delaware to provide for them,
and. disappointed by its failure do so, he has
shown the state how to do it and soon shall shame
it into action.
In one Delaware almshouse lonely old lady
rocked in her chair and in another old man
waited in solitary wretchedness for the end.
Mr.. Du Pont took them from those houses Of
poverty: he took them back to their old home. and
there they will stay the of their days his guests
That's religion, pure and undefled"
The poorhouse soon will pass away; in your day
and mine 1t will become as obsolete as the auction
block of slavery and, come to think of it, they are
much alike they both belong to the barbaric school
of architecture.
THE other day New York planted her banner in
Il the movement for old age pensions; Repub-
lcan legislature passed the bill without one vote
against it and Democratic Governor signed the bill
Don't say it's "socialistic" when our richest, most
conservative state adopts 1t unanimously
We have only to eliminate graft and ineficency
from government to save ten times enough to pen
sion the aged poor, and how much better to give it
TO them than to crooked politicians.

of American progress-and in the meantime, here's

Queer QuirkS of Crime

MOT to be outdone by Chicago
IN when it comes to queer and
novel problems, New York presents
one for the ballistic experts.
The policemen engage in a run
ming fight with gang of bandits.
A bystander and one bandit are
wounded, while another bandit is
killed.
Each policeman has done more
or less shooting, each has proven
his courage in the face of fire and
there is no reason to suppose that
each did not do his best to fire the
fatal shot, but for some inscrutable
reason, the department wants to
promote the man who was lucky
enough to kill.
The six are called in and each is
made to fire his respective pistol
into as many respective wads of
cotton, after which the depart
ment's ballistic experts will try to
determine whose gun did the trick.
No doubt they will be successful.
Meanwhile the bullets which
killed Arnold Rothstein, Frankie
Yale and many others remain to
be placed. When you get right
down to brass tacks, the value of
experiences depends on what is
ACCOMPLISHED.

INSCRIPTIONS

IN the Medinet Habu publication,
l. which reproduces the temple in
scriptions in greatest detail and
with more exactness than has ever
been accomplished before, there is
little actual narrative, but the re-
liefs furnish an enormous amount
of historical and archaeological in
formation.
1.-THE reliefs propaganda designed
chiefly to augment the prestige OF
Ramses III among both men and
gods, disclose his wars and his Prov
esS as a hunter" DR.. Breasted says.
1.-THE first naval battle Of which
there is any record is portrayed on
the walls, and the first known use
of graphing hooks, used as late as
the war of 1912, is shown in this
relief.
Ramses was beset by foreign
invasions, but during his lifetime he
was successful in preserving his
kingdom and arresting the decline
of the decaying state.
1.-The first hint. of the emergence
of Europe is found in the record OF
wars with invaders from the north,
who came as armies and as nations
in migration, fleeing from the Greek
barbarianS who were forcing the
older peoples out"

Editor Times-I notice every time
pick up paper there always is
something concerning the crime
wave.
Still they wonder why that is,
why so many young fellows are
holding up this and that.
And I, an observer on the outside,
will say that it will get worse than
it is now unless they give more peo-
pie work, so they won't have to go
into these places Of business and get
what they need.
1t seems as though the people will
have to steal or else Starve. They
go to the Welfare society or any
organization which has to do with
dispensing food, etc. They, first of
all, take your life history and then
finally maybe" give a family $1.50
worth of rations for a week.
Now if that isn't forcing people
to hold people up and also any kind
of crooked racket to get a living,
why, there's no use of argument.
The so-called higher-ups in this
country are only forcing this on the
people. Having been trying to do
it for years, they finally have sue
ceeded and the laboring class Of
people is hurt badly now, but even
tually will be the undoing of those
so-called upper class people. When
they go to starving mems families,
there will be more robbery and
holdups. I hope this is read by
many people and hope it sinks in.

Editor Times-The action of the
state highway commission, county

officers who took a stand against
the attempts of certain contractors
who were taking advantage of the

maintain a family, can not be too
highly commended. Their act was
humanitarian in every respect.

IF the liver of an animal is re-

from three to five hours. Shortly
after, it becomes seriously ill, de-
velops convulsions,- the blood pres

beat increases, the breathing be-
comes disturbed, and the animal
dies in two hours, unless it is given
some treatment to prolong its life.
The same symptoms occur when
there is great fall in the amount
of sugar in the blood, such as may
occur, for instance, with a great
overdose of inSulin.
Thus the absence or deficiency Of

death or with serious disease.

paper made?
From various plant fibers. In the
early days of the industry, paper
was made almost invariably from

additional sources of supply, and
among the raw materials now en-
ployed are wood fiber, jute, bamboo
flax, hemp and esparto or alta

DOES NOT RULE MEDICINE
A Medical Journal Says King Alco-
hol Has Been Dethroned

writer in a recent number of Aneri-
can Medicine places before the readers of
that magazine evidence which proves that
"the medical consensus to-day demon
strates that King Alcohol has been de-
throned. and that he neither rules medi-
cine nor is even permitted to serve as a
slave to those who would ignore his
tyranny" Further, this medical writer
says: there is very definite evidence that
alcohol never possessed the values that
were attributed to it. and that to-day the
falsity of the allegation of its therapeutic
power for various diseases has been DEM
onstrated."
There are many persons in and out of
the medical profession who have MAIN
tanned that alcohol is not entitled to any
credit for the benefits claimed for it in
medical sense, and who agree with the
writer in this medical journal that large
part of the claims for liquor as a med
icine is the outgrowth of influences upon
the medical profession from outside
sources-largely from those who have
managed to persuade their doctors to
sanction its use.

GOOD FOR CHICAGO
Federal Prosecutions of Dry Viola

Rapid Pace

Federal prosecution of prohibition vio-
lations in Chicago is going forward at a
rapid pace now that the United States
district courts are in session again.
For the month of October. 100 Temporal
ry injunctions were recorded. In many
cases property owners have come in and
admitted lack of defense. consenting to
permanent injunctions instead of waiting
six months to fight the clamping on OF
the permanent padlocks.
During the last fiscal year, TAG per-
manent injunctions were issued in Chi
cago and SCI temporary injunctions. The
latter in the usual course of events be-
come permanent injunctions. closing up
the property for any and all purposes for
one year.

INSURANCE POLICIES CAN
CELED
Of Those Who Violate the Liquo
7 a,,,s of Massachusetts

Laws of Massachusetts
The conclusion that those who violate
liquor laws are not entitled to protection
and confidence under other statutes
emerges from the experience of Massa-
chusetts in administering the compulsory
insurance law, and is shown in particular
ly striking fashion in two cases just heard
before the State Board of Appeal for
motor insurance, says the Christian
Science Monitor.
Two violators of the liquor laws were
held to have lost their right to hold in
suranee policies, and when the case was
reviewed by the State Board of Appeal,
action of the companies in withholding
insurance was upheld.
According to the Compulsory Insurance
Law, the companies are permitted to re-
yoke the policies of those individuals who
are not satisfactory risks, and insurance
executives believe that violators of the
liquor laws in cases similar to those under
review are definitely not good risks, and
should be deprived of the protection of
insurance
The Board OF Appeal recognizes this
privilege of the insurance companies, and
has made it its general policy to support
revocation in such cases. Those who vio-
late the liquor laws, it is recognized. have
thereby lost their right to protection I'M
der other laws.
