If the allegations in the of George Allen Heisel

State Bar Association TO demonstrate that it has

Hesel went to San Quentin prison 10 years ago. con-
victed of an attack upon his daughter. Recently the
latter that she gave false testimony against her
father and asserted that another responsible for
her condition Unnatural venom the cause of
her perjury.
Glendale attorney took Heisel's under nvesti-
cation when the daughters revelation made, and
began gathering evidence prove that the accused
unjustly confined in prison.
The attorney has been unable to get any money from
Helsel or his family defray the of trip Sac
ramento to confer with the prison board One cannot
blame the lawyer, who states he has already spent
much time on the and does feel able afford
the cost OF making the trip out of his pockebook
To a layman 1t would seem that whatever evidence
the attorney has gathered could be forwarded to anoth
attorney in Sacramento designated by the state bar
who could present Heises to the proper author-
ties with little or no expense involved
If Hesel has spent 10 years in prison for crime of
which he is innocent there surely must be some means
for Immediately remedying the injustice done to him.
The lack of few dollars should not condemn him to
further suffering.

Splendid kids! A great sight!
The road was jammed with
them, and they refused to move
for the traffic that piled up on
either side. on the main high

them the right Of way, motion
ing the rest Of US into q detour
that meant a circle Of four
blocks before we could hit the
boulevard again.
Patiently, good naturally, we
adults turned aside. Trucks,
laundry and delivery wagons,
private cars, off the highway
we turned, adding long blocks

And, with never a thought Of

Editor, Times:
There has been reamS and
reams written about the So
called buying Of football players
by colleges, and in general 1t
has been denounced as . vile
practice.
Not only is the thing wrong
from a moral standpoint, it has
been argued but, 1t does not
help the schools, as rowing
athletes cannot imbibe the true
spirit Of the school.
All this may be so, but II
you will notice the sport pages
Of the country when the ap-
peals for help was being made,
you will find that although
sometimes the college heads
were against the playing Of the
charity games, the boys were
all in favor Of donating their
services.
Now If it is true that these
boys ave being paid. it must
be admitted that their Con
tracts" call for the playing Of
no charity games; yet these
boys are willing to risk injury
for a good cause, and for the
love Of the game, not for money.
II these athletes are paid,
then what this country needs
is more paid athletes.

"Butchering Animals
In Name of Science"

OVtGV b"SNSs
The practice of washington
hospitals in rounding UP dogs
for viviSection purposes is
heartily to be condemned. The
expose Of the advertising cam
paign inaugurated by George
town University to obtain dogs
in order to perform vivisection
experiments is certainly not be-
coming an organization that Is
otherwise well thought Of.
DR.. MarkowitZ, upon whose
shoulders much Of the criticism
has fallen, declares everything
possible is done to. alleviate
pain when the dogs are cut up
piecemeal. He frankly admits
the dogs are allowed to live for
considerable time after being
sliced open, simply in order to
demonstrate the reactions" Of
the animal to pain.
What a traveSty on our So
called civilization! Particular
ly at this time of the year
when the world is awaiting the
advent Of the Gentle Jesus,
who came to give life, not to
ruthlesSly destroy it.

With the swollen Red river pound
ing away its levee at Shreve Island,
south OF the city Of Shreveport. a
gang Of a hundred men was working
this morning building a levee around
the weakened spot.
Levee officials gave up hope Of
holding the original levee on a big
bend in the river and conferred their
efforts on saving the Dixie Garden
and Broadmoore suburban sections
Of the city BY constructing a second
airy embankment.
While the levee south Of Shreve-
port was wearing away. waters from
Caddo Lake, twelve mile bayou and
the drainage canal overlooked many
acres north OF the city.
