The Washington times., 1931-01-28
When YOurCOugh
Hangs On, Mix
This at Home

The best cough remedy that money
could buy, can easily be mixed at home.
It saves money and gives you the most
reliable, Quick-acting medicine you ever
used. The way it takes hold of stub
born coughs and chest colds, giving
immediate relief, is astonishing.
Any druggist can supply you with
21A ounces of Pinex. Pour this into a
pint bottle, and fill up with plain gran
ulated sugar syrup or strained honey.
It's no trouble ut all to mix, and when
you once use it, you will never be with
out it. Keeps perfectly and tastes
good-children really like it.
1t is surprising how quickly this
loosens the germ-laden phlegm, and
soothes and heals the inflamed mem-
branes. At the same time, part Of
the medicine is absorbed into the
blood, where it acts directly on the
bronchial tubes, and helps the system
throw off the whole trouble. Even
those severe coughs which follow cold
epidemics, are promptly ended.
Pinex is highly concentrated COM
pound of genuine Norway Pine, con-
tanning the active agent of creosote, in
a refined, palatable form. Nothing
known in medicine is more helpful in
cases of severe coughs, chest colds and
bronchial troubles.
Do not accept substitute for Pinex.
It is guaranteed to give prompt relief
or money refunded

PERGLER ASSAILS
RULE BY D|CTATORS
Declares, in Reply to Butler,
They Are Products of
Backward Nations.

Dictatorships generally arise only In
backward countries, and their leaders,
therefore, have only the 'illusion OF
greatness" DR.. Charles Pergler, dean
Of National University's graduate de-
partment. declared last night in reply
to DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler, president
of Columbia University, who last week
e=,erted that relationships produced
real intellectual giants, while democra-
cies brought "nidgets into the seats OF
s.-So SiiiSsSrJ.'
In the same address, at the formal
opening of National University's sixty
third Fall term, DR.. Pergler, who shared
the speaking platform with three FED
eral justices, warned that in America
today there is too much legislation that
Is not supported by established custom
and public opinion.
Replying to Dr. Butler. DR.. Perglor
said that a democracy presupposes
high level of education among its masses
and, therefore its leaders do not tower
so high above their fellows.
"IiIusion of Greatness"
'Tt Is worthy of note" DR.. Pergler
asserted, that relationships usually
arise in countries at least comparatively
backward. In a backward country,
dictator may tower over his fellowmen,
but that may be an illusion of greatness
and no more. 1t does not follow, as Dr.
Butler seems to think, that contempory
democracies have placed mtdgetS in the
seats of the mighty"
Continuing, Dr. Pergler said that
relationships mean rule of individ-
uals according to their predictions,
whims. ambitions, or even selfish in
terests." A dictatorship, he said lis
negation Of the rule of law applicable
to all equally and discriminating be-
tween none" 1t can not be, he added,
a permanent governmental system over
a politically mature people and is to
be followed by reaction or chaos.
The legislators Task.
Nacsa~ins q greater study of law is
welcome In this country because
democracy is dependent upon rule
81 law, Nationals graduate dean said
q man soundly trained in law knows
the legislators task is chiefly the con-
firmation Of principles established by
custom.
"The danger today" he said, seems
TO be too much legislation, frequently
unconfirmed by custom and public
opinion The result is lawlessness,
which would not exist if the nature of
law and its origin and growth were bet
ter understood"
On the platform at the opening
exercises were Chief Justice Fenton w.
Booth of the United States Court OF
Claims, who is professor of the elements
of Jurisprudence at National, and JUS
tice Oscar r. Luhringof the District of
Columbia Supreme Court, professor OF
suretyship law at the institution. Both
spoke briefly about their courses. DR..
Hayden johnson, chancellor of National,
presided, and paid tribute to DR..
Charles Francis Carusi, former chan
cellor, and Justice Frederick L. Siddons
of the District of Columbia Supreme
Court and veteran member of Nationals
faculty, both Of whom died during the
past year.

Rival Concern Will Do
Irreparable Damage.

The Missouri Broadcasting Co., which
operates Station WILL, at st. Louis, filed
in District Supreme Court yesterday an
application for an Injunction against
the Federal Radio Commission, James
w. Baldwin, its secretary, and the st.
Louis Truth Center, Inc, which oper-
ates Station KFWF. at st. Louis. Hear
ing on the application was set for Octo-
Der 20.
The court was told the commission
has made a ruling, which its secretary
is about to forward to the st. Louis
Truth Center, authorizing construction
of a broadcasting station in the Jeffer-
son Hotel on frequency of 1,290 kilo-
cycles. This is the wave length CT the
plaintiff company, which contenoed it
would suffer irreparable loss If the de-
cision is allowed to be put into effect.

TIMBER
FLOUR|SHES

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. Al
QNS0-While timber stands in
other sections of the country
suffered greatly from drouth and
heat, last year, the California
timber increment has increased
notably, according to r. w. Aver,
Of the U. s. Forest Service.
It is all recorded on the trees
themselves, he says. The annual
rings Of wood that show on every
ring-forming species are positive
proof. In their broad new rings
of wood under the bark, the trees
in the Federal forest areas Of
California show lusty growth. In
contrast trees throughout most
other parts of the nation are
marked by rudimentary rings
which formed in the time Of
drouth.
Forest fire losses in California
also were decidedly leSsened last
year. Mr.. Aver says. This was
due, he says, to improved meth
ods Of fire protection and fight
ing, better equipment, public aid
and education. and favorable
weather.

Stubborn Coughs
Ended by Recipe,
Mixed at Home

Here is the famous old recipe which
millions of housewives have found to
be the most dependable means OF break
ing up a stubborn, lingering cough. 1t
takes but a moment to prepare and
costs little, but it gives real relief even
for those dreaded coughs that follow
severe cold epidemics.
From any druggist, get 2h ounces Of
Pinex, pour it into pint bottle and iii
the bottle with plain granulated sugar
syrup or strained honey. Thus you make
a full pint of better remedy than you
could buy ready-made for three times
the cost. 1t never spOils and tastes SO
good that even children like it.
Not only does this simple mixture
soOthe and heal the inflamed throat
membranes with surprising ease, but
also it 10 absorbed into the blood, and
acts directly upon the bronchial tubes,
thus aiding the whole system in throw
ing off the cough. 1t loosens the germ
laden phlegm and eases chest soreness
in a way that is really astonishing.
Pinex is a highly concentrated COM
pound of genuine Norway Pine, con-
tanning the active agent Of creOsote, in
a refined, palatable form. Nothing
known in medicine is more helpful in
cases of distressing coughs, chest colds,
and bronchial troubles.
Do not accept substitute for Pinex.
1t is guaranteed to give prompt relief
or money refunded.

Current signs point to accumu-
lation Of stocks, in the opinion
Of three outSof every four Of Wall
Street experts. This is not to
say there will be no further reac-
tions in the market, but 1t does
mean the normal pace will be
one of dull and featureleSS ses-
Sions, with the active stocks be-
ing churned around monotonouSly. '.
While this process is going on,
important developments, mostly
favorable, are taking place In
industry and business. When ac-
emulation has been completed,
or nearly so, a surprising I'M
provement will have been noted
in strategic sections of industry.
During accumulation unfaVorable
news and developments OF all
kinds are "given the play" while
favorable factors of all kinds are
SoftpOdaled. That is why we hear
30 much of real bear market
propaganda simultaneously with
repetition of confident statements
and forecasts of such recognized
industrial leaders as James Far
reIl, of the Steel Corporation,
Alfred Sloan, of General Motors,
whose opinions are worth a
thousand times as much as the
uniformed market goSSipS.
