Today's
Sportorial
D.. YTDH MIHTED
By KIRK MILLER

Probably the hardest species
of gambler is the breed which
will gamble on the outcome of
a wrestling match.
Being the least civilized of
all the sports, being surrounded
with fewer limitations, being
the easiest to fake and the
easiest to fix, it is amazing
to observe apparently smart
people laying a dollar or two
on this wrestler or that.
In fact, a big odds man
around town recently offered
the fact that the gamblers
have gone for wrestling as
the main reason for the pros
perity the sport is enjoying.
What would horse racing be
without the gamblers?" he
asked in subStantiation of his
claim.
We retaliated-"Yeah, and I
suppose it is the gamblers who
have made baseball and college
football and bowling and bill
liards and the dozens of other
sports which are comparatively
free from the betting element
what they are today"
He couldn't vouch for that,
but he assured me considerable
laying" is being done on the
result of wrestling as we'll as
college basketball and that he
sees no little money change
hands on the outcome of high
school basketball and some on
all types of football.

Dad himself, of course, knows bet
ter. Among the illusions that die
quickly IS the average human males
belief in his own greatness. So Dad
presently, finds himself with an i'm
possible ideal to live up to. He dis
covers that little Willie is copying
his mannerisms OF speech and action,
his way of talking and sitting, his
attitudes and his foibles. And such
alteration, while gratifying, is a trifle
dismaying.
For it brings Dad-if he ever
thinks at all-face to face with tn.
contrast between what he is and
what he ought to be. That contrast,
for most of us, is not a pleasant
thing to look at; and Dad, until lit
tie Willie gets old enough to know
better, has to look at it rather fire.
Quently.
So it is hardly surprising if fathers
IN various parts of the country are
doing what they can to make them

ence in boys life-and it can also

Preventive Medicine Is Now
Used in Every Phase of Life
Modern Science Applies It to Everything From Diet to
Sunlight Rest and Correct Fit of Shoes

| ter in which mosquitoes breed; check
the pasteurization Of milk; advise
mothers In the care Of the child, and
in many other ways encourage the
practice Of preventive medicine.
Most Of our present technic Of pre-
ventive medicine has grown up In re-
lationship to the knowledge that dis
eases are caused by germs. Hence
preventive medicine assumes control
of all epidemics in order to prevent
those who are not infected from
catching the diseases from those who
are. 1t sees to 1t that the person with
9 severe infectious disease is isolated.
It provides contagious disease hospi-
tails for the care of people with con-
tagious diseases. It keeps the per-
son under restraint during the period
known as the incubation period of
the disease, time when the person
Is especially infectious to others with
out himself showing the disease. It.
keeps him under restraint during the
actual presence Of the disease and
finally 1t does not dismiss the person
until the body is free from the germs
that spread disease.
This is particularly important, be-
cause Of the presence of carriers of
disease who are themselves we'll but
who carry the germs of the disease
In their Threats or in their intes-
final tract and spread them to other
people.

Preventive medicine includes all
measures used by public health Off
GERS, by physicians, and by the pub
lie for the prevention Of disease.
For instance, the feeding of cod
liver oil and calcium and the expo
sure to sunlight of infants in or0er
to prevent rickets Is preventive med
icine. The use of exercise to bring
about correct posture so that the spi-
nal growth shall be straight Is pre-
ventive medicine. The use Of proper
shoes so as to avoid the development
Of flat feet, bunions, corns and ham,
mer-toes is preventive medicine. The
recommendation for rest to overcome
fatigue, q diet including all of the
necessary vitamins, proteins, carbo-
hydrates and mineral salts, and the
drinking Of sufficient amounts of wa
ter each day IS part Of preventive
medicine.
There Is hardly a phase of human
life In which the knowledge Of pre-
ventive medicine may not be applied.

Challenges Overnight
Dismissal of Jurors

The state supreme court has un-
der consideration the question Of the
validity of a verdict returned by jur-
orS who were permitted to spend a
night at home after receiving final
instructions from the presiding Judge.
The appeal was taken by Chris La
moreaux, convicted of charges Of re-
ceiving stolen property. The case was
tried before the county Judge in Ben
son county.
Counsel for Lamoreaux contends
that at the close Of the trial, afte,
the jury received the judges instruc-
tions, the jurors were permitted to
return to their homes. They returned
the next morning and returned a
verdict Of guilty against the defend
ant.
States Attorney w. G. Mcdonald
OF Minnewaukan tried the case. At
torney General James Morris, how
ever, appeared before the supreme
court in the appeal action, and ar
gued that the defendant waived the
right to have the jury placed in the
custody Of bailiffs overnight. The de-
tense denies this contention, and
claims that the action of the Judge
In dismissing the jury for the eve

! New York, Nov 1.-THE ware
houses, cellars and garrets of Tin Pan
Alley are being turned upside down
these days by explorers seeking nov
elites for the radio.
Radio Is becoming veritable ogre
that must be continuously fed wit.,
musical offerings, and yet stays hun
cry for more. The dozen-and- -one
researchers who dig through cata-
logues and tones for roundelays and
folk songs and revivals of popular
airs Of old now hunt avidly through
mildewed files and musty piles of
sheet music which have lain these
many years forgotten and neglected.
Established old firms find buyers
waiting at their gates and with the
now-precious numbers as part Of the
potential treasure trove. No one
knows at what moment a tune will
jump out Of the past to bowl the
public over once more, thanks to the
persistent dinning of the broadcast
stations. Take "Shine On, Harvest
Moon" for example. It's best seller
today, after lying about for all these
years since the late Nora Bayes cast
1t aside.
And just the other day the historic
Waterson catalogue was grabbed up
by the Mills Brothers (Jack and Irv-

Not Done by Shorts

The technical reactions noted n
the stock and grain markets Tues.
day were not Of such proportions as
to be alarming. They had been ex.
pected by anyone watching the stead,
rise Of commodity prices and stoc!;
values and were caused largely by
the fact that persons in both mar
kets were in position to sell at q
profit.
But noticeable in the situation is
the fact that there was little, II any,
short selling. Those who believe the
nation is slipping no longer appea-
to be in the ascendancy. The bulls
have gained the ascendary and the
reactions in the leading markets ap-
parently have failed to break their
hold.
It is a good sign for the future
when Americans refuse to sell Amer

Indications are that william How
ard Gardiner, president of the Navy
League Of the United States, has no
intention of apologizing to President
Hoover for labelling him "abysmally
ignorant" of navy affairs.
The Associated Press reports that
the league is assembling data for a
renewal of the dispute and the league
itself has circulated copies of the
Armistice Day speech made by Presi-
dent Coolidge in 1928.
Those excerpts from the Coolidge
address which might be interpreted
hs favoring the Navy League atti-
tude are printed in black type, and
It must be admitted that there are
many Of them.
The main interest of the document
lies in the fact that ii serves to en-
phasize the difference in the attitude
of the administration now and its
attitude under Coolidge three years
ago. Doubtless this is what the Navy
League intended it to do.
Coolidge's review of arms linita.
tion efforts, given at that time, ap-
pears to bear directly on the Navy
Leagues assertion that the United
States was out-pointed in the Lon
don naval conference last winter.
For instance, Coolidge said: Last
summer, France and England made
a tentative offer which would limit
the kind of cruisers and submarines
adapted to the use of the United
States but left without limit the kind
adapted to their use. The United
States, of course, refused to accept
this offer"
There can be no doubt but that
the Navy League intends to fight for
a Coolidgian rather than Hooveriar
policy, and that President Hoover
has about as much chance of getting
an apology from its president as 8

The rule against advertising by
physicians, of course, was designed

IT was an excellent rule. But It IS
worth considering whether the times
have not changed enough to make
