After Capone, What?

Out in Chicago the law is closing in Al Capone.
Naturally there is much rejoicing We share this
popular satisfaction that the law lis at last prov
ing itself stronger than the king Of the beer racket
But after Capone and his gang in prison,
then what?
Is that an end to Chicago bootleggng and re-
lated crime?
Even to ask that question sounds foolish, the
answer Is so well known
Prohibition made Capone Prohibition will make
other Capones when Al is through-just it already
has made dozens Of other Capones in Chicago and
other communities
When Capone goes to prison, the law will have put
a symptom behind the bars But as long as prohi-
bition operates, the of the Capones will be
loose upon the land.

SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETZ-
Scientific Humdnism" Is
Declared TO Be the Future
Hope of the World.

THE future hopes Of the world
L lie in scientific humanisn,"
according to DR.. Edward M. East.
distinguished biologist Of Har-
ward university.
At time when many critics
would blame the present depression
and most Of the worlds modern ills
upon the machine. an outgrowth Of
science, Professor East's views are
particularly interesting.
Most scientists would not deny
that the advance Of technical
knowledge and the machine have
replaced man power to such extent
as 70 be the cause Of considerable
unemployment.
But, on the other hand. they
point out that the advance Of tech
meal knowledge has created many
new industries and so created much
employment where none existed be-
fore.
And In general. scientists feel that
the blame for present-day ills does
not belong upon the machine. but
upon those who have bungled the
handling and use Of the machine.
ms is point which Bertrand
Russell has made in the past. The
scientist invents the machine, but
somebody else administers it.
Professor East pins his hope upon
the development of an era when
science will have something to say
about the administration of the
machine.

Resuscitation Methods Are Simple

The entire procedure takes about
five seconds, which will permit of
approximately twelve artificial re-
spirations minute. The movement
may be kept up for hours.
At the same times, it is well to keep
the drowning person warm, If a
blanket is available, and to encour-
age circulation by rubbing the legs.
A physician should be called as
soon as possible. Just as soon as
the signs of consciousness return,
warmth and stimulation are de-
Sirable.
There Is no necessity for rolling
the drowning person over a barrel,
hanging him up by the feet, or any
other rough treatments that used
to be the vogue before modern arti-
fetal respiration became estab-
nshed.
The two most common criticisms
are that the artificial respiration
is carried on for too brief a time lit

If there is the slightest possibility
OF resuscitation) and the applica-
ton Of the movements too rapidly.

ZEPPELIN ATTACK

June Is
ON June Is, 1917, at about 2 a. m
- two Zeppelins made an at
tack on the east coast Of England.
The official report said that one
Of the airslips crossed the Kent
ish coast and dropped bombs on a
coast town, killing two persons, in
juring sixteen and wrecking a large
number of houses.
The second airship attacked a
coast town of East Anglia, but did
no damage before it was engaged
by the Royal Flying corps, brought
down in flames and destroyed.
Thousands witnessed the end Of
this Zeppelin. The attack by anti
aircraft guns on the dirigible lasted
fully an hour, and people ran from
their houses, half-dresSed, to watch
the fight.
When the Zeppelin was seen to
burst into flames, the spectators
cheered unanimously. It had been
winged first by a land gun and then
was finished by an airplane, which
the Zeppelin fought to the last with
her guns.
The dirigible dropped into
field Of corn, far from any habita-
ton, and was destroyed.
All the crew we're killed and their
bodies badly charred.-. Some Of the
men appeared to haT jumped.
