"A FREAK he is, as athletes go, but
"A Cigars Conners will have worthy

Younger may be the Oldest genuine

You really can run 26 miles?" Dan1

Yes, Stree" he averred, II not only
can run that distance but do it a lot
faster than many a chap half my age

He was forty-second in a large field

boasted he'd do probably as well IN the

knockout against each opponent
Obviously a man of O'Callaghan's tre-
mendous size, whose hands and arms
have been developed from throwing the
hammer, must pack terrific punch.
But the doctor also is handy, snifty
boxer and If he enters the Olympic
bouts more than one young man will
be rubbing a sore jaw or ribs for some

O'Callaghan has done six feet and

T CS ANGELES. July 3O-The most
imposing figure among the $500
athletes gathered from the four
- corners of the world for the
tenth Olympiad, now in prog
ress here, is DR.. Padriac O'Callaghan
of Cork, ireland. He is the nearest
physical approach to Hercules, the
original strong man of Greece, the
home of the OlympicS. and what in
Ireland they call broth of boy"
DIR. O'Callaghan draws attention where
ever he appears and is one OF the
worlds greatest athletes.
At rs he is a practicing physician in
Cork and his curly. light brown hair
tops a six-foot-two frame that is PAT
pounds of bone and muscle. Despite his
tremendous size the Irish doctor is
graceful in every gesture and moves
with the pantherish Smoothness of Jack
Dempsey.
O'CalIaghan is something of a one
man track team. He won the hammer
throw in the 1928 Olympics and is ex-
pected to defend his title successfully
in the games here, for he has hurl7d
the big weight farther than any man
against whom he will contest. He also
has entered the decathlon and perhaps
may have a turn in the boxing events.
In his specialties OCallaghan is a true
Irishman for weight throwing is an
age-old sport among the Irish and no
race has produced more or better box
ers.

GONE friend of Franklin D..
- Roosevelt should warn him be-
fore it is too late. Unless he with
draws from the race promptly, he
has an excellent chance of being
nominated for the presidency by
the Democrats, and he might even
be elected.
1t will not do to argue that the
risk is remote. Governor Roose-
welt should not take the chance.
Others have argued passionately
and with partisanship as to what
would happen to the United
States if Straight-From- the Shout
der Frank were to become our chief
executive.
But I am meddling in the mat
ter out of pure friendship for the
man himself. The Office is even less
suited for Governor Roosevelt than
he for it.
Imagination shudderS at what
may become of a potential Presi-
dent who gets himself "spokes-
man" even before he has a 11orli-
nation.

University of Illinois School of
Medicine have made experiments
with such devices, counting the
pollens present in the room near
the machine and at distance from
the machine as contrasted with
those found in rooms in which the
machines are not in use.
1t was found that pollen in the
room is small in amount and re-
mains constant as contrasted with
the rise and fall outside the room.
Efficiency Of the machine seems
to be between IS and SO per cent.
One hundred five patients with
hay fever or asthma and with posi-
tive reactions to ragweed were
chosen for a test Of the device.
In 1872 per cent of the uncom-
plicated hay fever cases, relief of
the symptoms was obtained on en-
trance into the room, either COM
pletely or partially, in three and a
half hours or less.
In 715 per cent no relief was OBJ
tanned, and in 1879 per cent night
attacks of hay fever occurred.
Ten patients who had combined
symptoms of hay fever and asthma
obtained relief from hay fever
symptoms in a little more than an
hour.
Most of the asthmatic attacks de-
veloped during the night and many
of these were sufficiently severe to

The UntOuchabIe. Military

To ong-suffering country which has waited for
months for congress to make sane reductions in the
government budget, the increasing probability that
the military forces are to be practically exempt from
all reductions is the last straw
Meanwhile, the premier of France reputedly the
most mitaristic nation in the world today pledges
10 per cent cut in French army expenses
The senate has approved war department. funds
not only for summer vacation camps for thousands
of school boys, but also for restoring to the army
1000 officers which the house of representatives found
were unnecessary to the national defense.
To obtain funds for these additions to the mill
tary the senate sashed six and quarter million dol
lars from the river and harbor and flood control al
loments OF the corps of army engineers These funds
were to provide work for many men.
Even doing this it effected only $4,000 900 reduc-
ton below the house appropriation This is less than
per cent reduction and stands out in glaring con-
trast to the 10 per cent cuts imposed upon other
branches of the government service.
The total proposed reduction in army expenditures
including those on public works is just about one
third the reduction made in interior department
expenses.
Decision Of the senate appropriations committee
to rush the war bill ahead is significant. Apparently
it wished to get the bill approved before the exact
amount of necessary economies is discovered.
Then drastic cuts will have to be made in other
appropriations, including those for the treasury, post
Offices and independent establishments.
President Hoover told the country last January
that 70 per cent of the federal governments annual
expenditures go to pay for past and future wars.
Congress can't repudiate the public debt, which
accounts for part of the burden but it should have
reduced gifts, pensions and allowances to veterans
and cost of maintaining the army.

That Fearful Task

IF Franklin D. Roosevelt goes to
L the White House, that mansion
will run knee deep in the perspira-
ton Of indecisiofl. 1t is not an easy
task for any man to conduct our
national affairs in the current era.
The incumbent has proved that.
But if he is to give way to the
Governor of the state of New York
Lam very much afraid that Herbert
Hoover's pedestal, in the public
mind, will be raised during the
next four years from half an inch
to the top of the Washington
monument.
I venture to predict that in the
event of a Roosevelt landslide we
all will be referring to the ex-PreSi-
dent as Herb and telling each other
how much he resembled the Rock Of
Gibraltar while in office. People
even will use the phrase Hoover
prosperity" without nasty smile.
And how about Franklin Roose-
welt, while all these wonders and
strange happenings are coming into
being? Franklin Roosevelt is going
to be hideously unhappy. 1t is well
to remember that the gentleman in
Albany is a genial and well-inten-
toned individual. All his friends
testify enthusiastically to his charm
and natural warmth toward all
mankind.
Indeed, aside from the fact that
he is hardly a giant intellect, Gov
ernor Roosevelt possesses only one
fault. He can not say NO." and he
can not say Eyes"
The best he can do is to mutter a
little uncertainty Eyes and no"
There is myth that his first ar
ticulate sound as an infant was

boggle confoundedly when faced
with problems Of yea and nay say
ing. But in the case of the aver
age man, this constitutional disa-
bility may be less than tragic.

few dinner parties and arrive at first

Let the rest Of the family go to work to Offset the
idlenesS Of the main wsge-earner This simply throws
out Of work other chief wage-earners in neighborng
families and reduces wages due to the lesser reu-
neration of women and children and the flooding Of
the labor supply
Look at immigration policies in the last half CEN
tury. People left Europe for America. 1t was ex-
pected that this would produce double benefit The
migrants greatly would improve their conditions in
the United States. BY leaving Europe, they would
reduce the population pressure at home and allow
standards of living to rise for those left behind.
Actually the excessive immigration to the United
States has lowered our standards of living reduced
wages and increased unemployment Further the
gaps in Europe were filled quickly by an increase in
population, leaving matters there as bad as ever
Some individuals prof1ted by immigration, but west
ern society as whole gravely was injured.
Perhaps the worst illusion is that of cutting wages
to end the depression. The only way out of the de-
preston under capitalism is increased buying power
and activity This must come chiefly from the wage
earners Cutting their income simply proIongs the
slump
The readiness with which employers resort to this
expedlent OF lowering wages whenever hard times

Likewise the tariff. This has been respectable

can not sell unless he is willing and able to buy.
So with the stock speculation When security prices
