FRANKNESS DESIRABLE

EVEN thost who are firmly convinced
Il that the Rev. H. Dobson-Peacock was
duped, as was the entire country, by
John Hughes Curtis, cannot condone the
attitude taken by the clergyman follow
ing the expose Of Curtis hoax.
The Norfolk minister has consistent
ly refused to go to New Jersey to sub
NIT to questioning relative to his activ-
tiles in the Curtis hoax, asserting that
he will answer questions in Norfolk but
will not give the New Jersey authori-
ties the chance to question him before
Curtis, whom they hold in custody.
Apparently the minister has been
badly advised by his friends, who prom
pied him to take his present stand. SO
much misery and confusion have been
caused in the Lindbergh case by under
handedness, that every opportunity for
frankness should be readily accepted.
In refusing to be completely frank at
any cost, even though it means personal
inconvenience, Rev. Dobson-Peacock is
not playing the game, and should not
be surprised if many paint him with the
same brush that has made Curtis
pariah.

on THE AIR NAIL

COMING on the heels of the news that
" the air mail route through Imperial
Valley will be opened June Is, is the
announcement in press dispatches that
El Centre is to be a stop on this route
While no official confirmation of this
arrangement has been received at the
local post office, the information was
given to the United Press by Senator
Johnson, and can therefor be considered
authentic.
This definitely clinches the southern
air mail route as an actuality and as
sures the best in mail service for I'M
perial Valley. The stop, of course, will
be at the Imperial county airport, and
not directly in Ell Centric.
As stated in this column last week,
Imperial Valley must get ready to sup
port the air mail. 1t will not do to ac-
cept it as something that having been
received, will be retained without any
effort The air mail must be patron
ized if it is to become a permanent SER
vice.
Sponsors of the southern route have
done their work we'll. 1t is now UP to
an of Imperial Valley to show that it
will back up the service with heavy pa
tronage.

Beware the Cough or
Cold that Hangs On

Persistent coughs and colds lead to
serious trouble. You can stop them now
with Creomulsion, an emulsihed creosote
that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is
new medical discovery with two-fold ac-
ton; it soothes and heals the inhamed
membranes and inhibits germ growth.
Of all known drugs, creosote is recog-
nized by high medical authorities as one
of the greatest healing agencies for per-
sistent coughs and colds and other forms
of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains,
in addition to creosote, other healing ele-
ments which soothe and heal the infected
membranes and stop the irritation and in
fammation, while the creosote goes on to
the stomach, is absorbed into the blood,
attacks the seat of the trouble and checks
the growth of the germs.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory
in the treatment of persistent coughs and
colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and
other forms of respiratory diseases, and
is excellent for building up the system
after colds or flu. Money refunded if any
coughorcold, no matter of howlong stand.

Swivel Chair Corps Ordered
to Serve With Troops.

Washington.-In the ranks of the
swivel chair officers corps here in
Washington there is gloom beftting
the loss of major engagement.
But the casualties are ahead Of
them, instead of behind.
For specific instructions have been
issued by the War department on the
orders of Gen. Douglas Macarthur,
chief of staff, ousting valiant lieuten-
ants and doughty colonies from a
scene where a uniform is passport
to society, and sending them back to
supervise squads east" and squads
west" on dusty drill fields.
The order is in keeping with the pro-
gram laid down two years ago by the
then Inspector Gen. Hugh A. Drum,
who conceived the idea of having Off
GERS actually serve with troops.
Not Effective Until Next Year.
The order is not as harsh as 1t
might have been, however, for it pro-
vides that the reduction is to be ac-
complished in the process Of normal
relief and need not be completed until
the end of the present government
year, June 80, 1888.
Despite the order total of S93 off,

When Representative Ross Collins
(Dem., Miss.), chairman of the house
military affairs committee, and other
members of congress renew their drive
at the next session of congress to cut
the officer personnel of the army from
$4,000 to 10000, the large number of
officers taken away from troops and
given socially pleasant posts will, it
is understood, furnish one of their
points of argument.
Changes to Be Made.

going to be created in the Washington
military sector, 16 officers will be TAX

State College, Pa.-The difference

The scientist made measurements to
account for the seeming miracle, and
found it was no miracle at all.
Examination revealed first that the
car moved about two feet between the
time the bumper hit the concrete and
complete stoppage.
The steering wheel, which had sup
ported the head, arms and chest of
the sleeping driver. had been bent for
ward about six inches.
From this" says Mr.. Yeagley, sit

He calculated that any person sit

2 LIVES SAVED BY
HUMAN CHAIN NEAR
PUMP HOUSE FRIDAY
James Keefe, Palmer Kise Res
cued From Lake; Bob Up
Under Ice Twice

Two Redwood Falls boys narrowly
escaped drowning Friday afternoon
when one broke through Lake Red
wood ice near the pumphouse and the
other fell in during a rescue attempt.
James Keefe, with other high
school boys, was skating near shore
when he slipped and fell, sliding into
an opening in the ice. The water was
several feet deep and he went down
over his head, coming up under the
ice and breaking it with his head.
Palmer Kise who saw him go I'M
der, was the first to reach his side
and started pulling him from the icy
water. While attempting to pull
Keefe out, he was dragged under and
they both went under water and came
up under another patch of ice.
AS in the first case, the ice was
thin and broke when struck by the
boys heads.
A human chain was then formed
by the rest of the skaters who pulled
the boys out of the water and to
safety. They were taken to the home
of Mrs. H. B. Cole where they were
given warm drinks and dried their
clothes.
