Truth telling in this country

1t may be exciting
But your life may be short.
1t depends on what you are telling
And on whom you place the blame;
Those very ones will wreck you
And put your name to shame.
If your line is economics,
And your goal is one sublime,
They will Jail you on frame-up
And drag your character in the

All appeals to courts of justice
Will be folly and come to naught;
Sincerity will be sneered at
Your every effort will be fought.
There's the case of poor Tom Mooney,

JEWS BEGIN PURIM
OBSERVANCE TONIGHT
Feast of Lots Is in Commemoration
of Queen Esther and
Mordecai.

Jews throughout the world will begin
the celebration Of Purim, the Feast of
Lots, at sundown today. The feast Is
in commemoration of Queen Esther and
her cousin Mordecai, who frustrated a
plot to exterminate the Jews in Persia
"a centuries ago.
It is marked by the exchange Of gifts
among friends and relatives and the
giving of aims to the poor. There will
be masquerading and rejoicing tonight
and in the synagogues the Biblical
Book of Esther, which recounts the
story of Purim, will be recited.
Purim is interpreted by rabbis to
mean the right Of minorities to differ
from majorities and the belief that
conviction will triumph over prejudice
and hatred.

Seeking the Source.
A determined effort is to be made this
year, with the cooperation of health
officers, physicians, nurses and social
workers, to ferret out the unknown
source from which each known case of
tuberculosis contracted the disease,
place the individual under treatment
and give him the simple information
which will prevent his continuing to in
feet others. The slogan for 1882
Is, tuberculosis Causes tuberculosis
Every Case Comes From Another"
Thousands of followers of Koch'S
achievements who are engaged In Ma
tIonal, State and local tuberculosis As
sociation work expect this effort to be
the most successful of any during the
25 years Of organized warfare on the
disease, because of its direct bearing on
breaking the chain Of infection between
the sick and the well.
What manner of man was Robert
Koch personally? He visited the
United States In 1908 for the meeting
of the International Union Against Tu-
berculosis. He was short, stocky and
nearsighted. His favorite phrase in con-
versation with scientific men was,
Leave no loophole."
An American physician who knew
him, Dr. Edward r. Baldwin, has this
to say of him: Robert Koch did not
possess the dramatic touch. His was a
matter-of-fact German temperament
logical, painstaking and with all the
thoroughness with which his race is
endowed. He laid good foundation in
his youth. A country boy, interested in
natural history he became resourceful
physician. Added to his ability for hard
work was fearlessness. He knew no fear
in working with dangerous pests.
Koch cared little for the honors that
came to him and turned his attention
to other problems awaiting solution.
The present generation little realizes
the change brought about in so years.
The simple fact that a child born to-
day has an excellent chance to escape
tuberculosis in the vast proportion of
civilized countries is due to the knowl-
edge bequeathed by Koch"

De VALERA MAKES

DUBLIN, Irish Free State, March
21.-Eamon de Valera, new president Of
the Irish Free State, yesterday dis
claimed for his people any RESPONSE

him, disorders arise out of his intention
to withhold allegiance and land annui-
ties from England.
AT this stage, shall only say that
If the bitterness and differences are re-
vived, the fault will not lie with the
Irish people" the President said in re-
ply to the tacit warning Of the British
government.
Warned to Keep Oath.
That warning, uttered by Neville
Chamberlain, chancellor of the ex-
chequer, in a speech at Birmingham,
England, Friday, was directed against
De Valeras intention to abolish the
oath Of allegiance to the British crown
and retain the land annuities which
were paid, under the late Cosgrave gov
ernment, to England.
Any such suggestion, Mr.. Chamber
lain said would undoubtedly revive the
bitterness and differences which 1t was

Mr.. Chamberlain issued his warning
without elaboration, except to say that
"any suggestion that the obligations or
agreements solemnly entered into by
the two governments could be repudi-
ated or changed by either side" would
cause the British government the
gravest concern"
Statement Brief.
Mr.. De Valera's reply, made in re-
sponse to a request of newspaper men
for a statement of his position, was
equally brief and he would not add any
thing further to his remark.
He has, however, declared the annui-
ties, amounting to about 100000,
which are collected under the Anglo
Irish treaty from Free State farmers
In repayment of loans, to be the prop
erty of Ireland. He also has SAID the
irish were not bound under the treaty,
which created the Free State 10 years
ago. to swear allegiance to the King.
