that it is very hard for an ethical
lawyer to make a living. Hence
the soliciting Of business in the
corridors.
But that is not all. The police
come in for a cut, too. The cops,
when making out gaming cases,
for an example, arrest eight or
ten where they know that only
one or two will be prosecuted.
They then give the prisoners the
name of bondsmen, who put up
bond. Sometimes bail amounts
to $4,000 in a small. unimpor.
tant case, in which a number Of
people are involved. OF course,
the following morning, the assis-
tant district attorney does not
make out papers against most of
the prisoners. But it doesn't mat
ter. The bondSman has his fee.
So has the cop.
This may seem to be rather
startling. 1t is startling, and the
ramifications of the system are
immense. 1t is almost impossible
to "get anything on" those who
take part in this racket. But it
could be done if the Department

Glorious Defends Stand
Of Bishop Cannon

Editor, Times
Bishop Cannon is being con-
demned because he does not
make public his personal political
affairs. Don't you think Mr..
Editor, that we should all con-
gratulate the dear good bishop
for his courageous stand in de-
fense Of personal liberty. His is
not a personal liberty to break
the law even as some bishops
urge, nor a personal liberty to
wallow in beer and whisky; but
personal liberty to keep ones
affairs immune from enemy
snoopers. If Bishop Cannon had
surrendered his rights, what could
prevent a like investigation of the
personal affairs of all bishops.
Since the Naval Conference there
has been much talk of the need
of 8-inch cannons in preference
to 6-inch cannonS. This country
would not need 6-inch or 8-inch
cannons If it had hundreds of

STATE OPTOMETRY BOARD
AFTER QUACK EYE DOCTORS
HEAR THAT MEN NOT QUAIL
FLED ARE EXAMINING EYES
People Are Warned Not to Take
Chances in Securing Glasses
Effort TO Stamp Out Quackery

An active campaign against
quack eye doctors has been inaug-
urated by the Delaware State
Board of Examiners in Optometry,
as a result of the discovery that
men posing as eye specialists are
examining the eyes of gullible
persons and prescribing glasses,
despite the fact that they are un-
trained in the science of optom-
etry: Where sufficient evidence
can be obtained to convict these
"quacks'', they will be arrested
and jailed, officials of the board
stated. DR.. Leonard c. Lipscomb,
president of the board, who lives
at 833 North Van Buren street,
Wilmington, has warned against
the danger of a man or woman
having their eyes examined and
glasses prescribed by men who
pose as eye specialists. Several
instances recently have been
brought to the boards attention,
resulting in one arrest and convic-
tion for practising without lie
ense," DR.. Lipscomb said. "The
board is determined to stamp out
eye quackery in Delaware and
would appreciate any information,
which might lead to the arrest and
conviction of anyone attempting
to examine eyes for glasses not in
accordance with the laws of the
State. A liberal sum will be Civ
en-, according to law, to anyone
who furnishes the board with in
formation leading to the arrest
and conviction of those found gull
ty. The Delaware Optometry law
states that everyone before begin
ming the practice of optometry in
this State must have four years
high school preliminary education
together with three years of resi-
dence college training of nine
months each and must be examin-
ed before the board to determine
his or her qualifications. All the
optometrists of the State as well
as the general public are requested
to cooperate with the board ir
bringing to justice those persons
not complying with the law" Any
one who has information for the
board concerning the quacks are
urged to write or visit DR.. Lips
comb in Wilmington; DR.. G. r
Cummins, of Dover. or DR.. n. S
Hoffecker, of Laurel.

REHAK SWNS CHESAPEAKE
Baltimore Man Lowers Own Rec
ord but Fails to Beat Cannon Mark

With his goal only two miles off,
Charles Rehak, II, became ex-
hausted Thursday and was taken
from the water, leaving his fire.
man father, Steve Rehak, to con-
tlnue on to Bay Shore and clip
nearly two hours from his last
years bay-crossing mark. The
father and son entered the water
at Colchester, Md, at 10.40 a. M,
and the former stepped ashore at
the resort just 6 hours and 35
minutes later. Rehak said he
would leave the job of bettering
Miss Cannon's record to his sons,
Charles and Matthew, 10. The lat
ter is also a good swimmer and
hopes soon to try long distance
work together with his slightly
older brother. The firemen fell
short of his objective, the record
of Miss Lillian Cannon, by little
more than an hour, but fought a
high wind and strong-running tide
the entire way. In 1928, when she
established her record of 5 hours
and 25 minutes, Rehak was pre-
vented from racing Miss Cannon
when he was taken i'll while cross
the bay to Colchester. At first it
Smyrna times., 1930-08-13

was thought that the rought
weather would force the swim to
be postponed, but after pacing up
and down the beach for several
hours Rehak held a conference
with others in his party and decid-
ed to disregard the adverse condi-
tions. Accompanying the swim
mers were members of Rehak's S
family and friends, who paced the
fireman and his son in motor
boats. About halfway over the
pair were cheered on by group
of firemen from Rehak's company,
in charge of Capt. Brainard Brief.
Charles had not planned originally
to try to complete the entire
course, but decided to continue the
swim after he passed the half way
mark without becoming exhausted.
Another son, Matty, 10, paced the
pair periodically, diving from one
of the boats and swimming along
side his father for long distances.
Rehak was in good condition when
he finished. Neither the father
nor son accepted nourishment on
the way over Black coffee and
eggs was their only meal and that
was early in the morning. The
course chosen by the fireman
formed a wide arc and was consid-
erably longer than the twelve-mile
straight-line course between the
two points. This was to prevent
being thrown off his course by the
high wind and to take advantage
of the strong tides, he explained.
The Rehaks live at 502 South Ma
con street, Baltimore, Maryland.
Rehak is a member of Number 4
Engine Company, Lexington street
near Guilford avenue.
