THE OBSERVER
FRED G. THOMAS

| polite. In the very beginning Of his
business career he stood on unholy
ground, surrounded and advised by
men who fed from the flesh pots of
political privileges.
In the course of his rise to power,
fame and fortune he fed the arteries
of our social and political life with
the things they desired, and in return
they gave him the opportunity to reap
the harvest out of which they might
be fed.
i But there must be day of reckon
ing, and that day is now at hand, and
those who once "supped" with him are
saying, 81 knew him not" Powerful
political leaders who once sought his
favor are now silent in his hour of
disgrace and distress.
While he may not survive the dead
ly virus of the system, other insults
will arise because the system will con-
tinue to live so long as gold is allowed
to supercede character in computing
the standard of values in American
citizenry.
Let us not forget that there is
counterpart to his life. It was not all
bad. There are other pages written
in an honest endeavor to help the less
fortunate in life. This attitude upon
his part to do something for the man
farthest down was not hampered by
race or complexion of those who
needed his aid.
Let US remember him for what he
was and not for what the cruel sys-
tenn of American politics has made
him.

sible for quite a good, deal of it. In
the hall at Folwell, three young col
legians stood closely grouped together
apparently examining something of
great interest. All of a sudden there
was a crash, and bottle which con-
tanned something smelling very, very
alcoholic broke into forlorn pieces.

their business to vanish very quickly,

tne symptom OF some underlying
pathological disorder. Many of the
causes are: as follows: intra-pelvic
tumors, violent muscular exertion,
awkward manner Of sitting so as to
compress the sciatic nerve, constipa-
ton with fecal impaction, psoas
abscess, excessive adiposity, fat foot,
acute and chronic pelvic disease in the
female, prostatitis and epididymitis in
the male, osteomyelitis, arthritis of
hip joint or sacroiliac joint, etc.
The severity of the attack then de-
ponds upon the underlying trouble.
Likewise the treatment must be for
the specific trouble.
However, frequently there is def
mite injury to the sciatic nerve as a
result of some of these above-men-
toned facts, which does not clear up
completely after the causative factor
has been removed. The chronicity
maybe shortened by absolute rest in
bed along with medication directed to
the nerve itself.
A recurrence may be prevented by
seeing that the original ailment does
not return.

THE INSULT FAILURE

Perhaps the greatest surprise
among the financial colossuses of
this country was the collapse of the
world-famous insult Industries. An
accepted result Of the depression it
nevertheless brought additional woe
and misery to IAN already overbur-
dened people, And by this gigantic
misfortune our group will be a big
loser, for Mr.. insult was liberal
contributor to the needs of our people
His purse was always open to aid
the less fortunate Of the race. This
is attested to in an editorial in the
Chicago Defender which we copy be-
lieving it rings true.
Samuel insult, who just a few days
ago was sovereign within himself,
has been arrested in Athens, Greece,
as a fugitive from justice at the in
stigation Of this country in which he
once occupied the position as one of
her foremost citizens. ~
The fate of Mr.. insult is the age
old fate of revolving ambition over
leaping itself. It is the fate of un-
measured steps in the fight for power
and control. Yet all of the blame for
his plight should not rest entirely on
the shoulders of the victim. He was,
the product of The environment that
made possible the fate which has be-
fallen him. =
The possibilities obtained by Mr..
insult are the natural results of the
political and social system that has
been allowed to grow up. in. our body

Cows Victims OF
Auto Accidents

Imperial county's mortality rate
on COWS increased materially last
night as automobile accidents took
the lives Of two of these animals,
both on the Yuma highway, and

ports were made of the accidents,
other than the finding Of the COWS

Va, boatbuilder and creator Of a
gigantic hoax in the Lindbergh kid

one and only Tom Mix being the
attraction tonight while the equal
" famous Greta Garbo is booked
for Sunday.

ture appearance and his first film
after a long absence with circuses,
appears with his famous horse Tony
in "Destry Rides Again, a smash
ing drama of the west, with the
famous cowboy star being seen in
particularly attractive role.
Romance and adventure are
teeming in this picture, Mix being
cast as one of the owners of q
stage line which is beset by out
laws and the gang, though event.
ually broken up, causes him and
his men plenty of trouble. There
is romance and comedy and snappy
dialogue throughout and Mix rides
as he never rode before. Claudia
Dell. Earle Fox, Zazu Pitts. Francis
Ford and other notableS are in the
cast.
As You Desire Me-, is the title
of the Carlo picture and critics
have pronounced it the best pic
ture the famous Swedish star has
yet been given. Eric Won Stroheim,

BEVERLY Hits
BANK CLOSED BY
FEDERAL AGENTS

BEVERLY HILLS. June 4. U.P)-
National bank examiners took over
the First National bank of Beyer-
ly Hills today, leaving scores of
persons prominent in motion pic
lures without access to their de-
posits in the institution.
The board of directors approved
closing Of the bank, and issued the
following statement:
The closing of the First Nation
al bank of Beverly Hills by the
board of directors today was
deemed necessary to conserve the
assets for the depositors. A mar
ket shrinkage in security values, in
addition to general depressed econ
onic conditions, made the step ad-
visable. Plans to adjust the capital
of the bank are already under way
and the directors hope these plans
will materialize in the very near
future"
Deposits of the bank at the close
of business yesterday, exclusive OF
public funds, were $4,000, 900. The
bank has a paid up capital OF
s45O,000 and surplus and undivided
profits Of S464,219.
The Los Angeles Clearing House
association, of which the bank was
not a member, deprecated the clos
ing. The association issued a
statement in which it said the clos
ing was Ito be regarded as eXcep-
tional. and in no way representa-
tive of prevailing bank conditions
in Beverly Hills, or the Los Angeles
area"

RIVERSIDE MAN RECALLS WHEN
M'GRAW BROKE INTO BASEBALL

was no slugger, but even then he
had the bunting art down to a
fine point and kept pitchers in hot
water with his intentional fouling,
an art he carried to the big league
and which finally resulted in the
passing of the foul strike rule.
If there was an argument at the
plate or at either of the bases over
close one, McGraW was always in
the thick of it. He was fighter
who overlooked nothing, whether
it was an umpire or an opposing
player.
Baited Umpires
AS an umpire batter he was an
apt pupil who graduated with the
Baltimore Orioles along with Willie
Keeler, Joe Kelley, Wilbert Robin
son. Walter Brodie and Joe Corbett,
the latter a San Francisco product.
McGraW perhaps did more to
popularize baseball than any man
who ever played the game, not eX-
cepting Babe Ruth.
Ed Hanlon was supposed to be
the manager of the Baltimore team
but once on the field it had nine
managers playing ball and at least
| five more on the bench, with Nc
Graw leading the pack.
McGraw played in the ball game
at Olean against Bradford. Pa, in
which a playful bull dog chased a
single between short and second,
picked it up and, while the entire
Olean team was chasing the dog,
the man who hit the single scored
the winning run.

the Pittsburgh Pirates, is the last

BY BILL LEAMON

RIVERSIDE, Calf, June A.
Back in Olean, N. Y, in the sum-
mer of 1890, a fresh youngster was
knocking down and smothering
base hits, beating the hitters to
first with the throw, dumping the
ball along the third and first base
lines for safe hits and running
bases in a way that convinced fans
of the old Iron and Oil league that
this fresh youngster was not a
flash in the pan but the stuff of
which major leaguers were made.
This fresh youngster was John
McGraw. He was a fighter then
as he was in later years at Balti-
more, as third baseman, and at
the head of the New York Giants
as manager.
I we'll remember how McGraw,
his first year out, introduced the
art of sliding into the bases feet
first with spikes flying and the
arguments and threats to get him
by members of the Erie team with
which I played an outfield position.
