TRADITIONS BROKEN AS MILLS SYMBOL OF WEALTH. .. ...


 Washington - It's a strange business when mu!ti-million- aire such as Secretary of the Treas ury ogden Mills is made the one big gun of the Hoover campaign, assigned almost single-handed to save the presidents skin and to follow around behind Governor Roosevelt to undo whatever good the democratic candidate may have done for himself.
 Not many years ago it would have been considered virtually sui cidal to hand such a job to anyone I who symbolized great wealth, Wall street and the ultra a-conservative in politics as Mills does.
 To-day virtually all the members ] of the cabinet are millionaires and the administration is so frankly conservative that selection of Mills as its chief strategist and tower of 1 strength in this campaign is appro-
 priate.
 Mills, however, does not owe his | present position either to his l ular of regulars. He has been given this high trust and great power 1 partly because MT HooverS other 1 close advisers and speakers ob-
 viously haven't the qualifications
 for the job and partly because Og-
 den has proved himself such an able citizen. .
 After looking over the rest of the field and past the long spare frames of Secretary of War Hurley | and Secretary of Agriculture Hyde, one comes to chubby little Mills and concludes that he was the ans- wer to a White House prayer. It will be interesting to see how it works out as Mills goes tearing around the circle in Roosevelt s wake, dissecting and scorning the | governors speeches. harpooning
 him from the rear. It would be more fortunate if Mills had had time to acquire political stature and prestige comparable to that of
 Borah and Hughes, the two heav- fest Hoover orators of 1928. He has come along with remarkable speed however, and western republicans l can be sure that, with the president
 off the stump, Mills is the best they will get.
 Mills never has made any bones
 about his social-economic beliefs He works in close contact with the
 nations financial leaders and he
 holds that the country is best of when in the hands of men accus-
 toned to handling millions. ] Mills, more than any other man.
 is identified with the depression policy which has produced the Re construction Finance Corporation
 and which is based on the theory
 that the only real prosperity is the
 sort which has to "trickle down to the masses"

ATTORNEY HELD
ON CHARGE OF
TAX EVASI0NS
David H. James, Fugitive,
Is Alleged to Have
Defrauded u. S..

David H. James, attorney and tax
expert, today was held in the Marion
county jail in default of $4,000 bond
on a federal indictment charging
failure to pay s21,Ol5 income tax
over period of six years.
Indicted several weeks ago
James, who formerly had an office
IN the Hume -Mansur building, has
been a fugitive, federal officials said
He was arrested by Harry E.
Gates and Frank A. Holmes, dep
uty United States marshals, in the
100 block East Michigan street,
where the deputies said he had been
living under an assumed name.
1t is charged in the indictment
that James, income from 1925 to
1880, inclusive, was $241, 432.
The indictment sets out that in
one year James earned a net in
come of $25,116, but his income tax
showed only S7,400, but that deduc-
tons brought the figure below the
amount on which tax is paid.
James, who formerly lived in An
derson, at one time was president
OF the Central States Audit Com
pany, and later headed the firm of
D. H. James 81 Associates, attorneys
and accountants, federal officials
said.

Critics Dizzy
Can't Agree Whether
H. p Opera Is Music
or Horse PheatherS.

By United Press
PHILADELPHIA, April Il
4 Philadelphias music critics
today we're confused by their own
reviews of II. p" a Mexican bal
let whose world premiere last
night gave tn critics the idea
that H. P" stood for anything
from horse power" to horse
pheathers" to "howdy, pros
perity."
The Record carried two parallel
reviews on the Philadelphia
Grand Opera Company produc-
ton. One was written by the
"high-brow," the other by the
"loW- brow"
The Morning Ledger said the
most effective features of the
performance were the stage set
tings and the costumes" and that
the ballet was received respectful
ly by the audience, probably on
account of Leopold Stokowski
directing.
The Inquirer said the letters
H. P" originally were intended
to stand for horse power" but
some individuals had asserted
they meant horse pheathers" or
in an everyday translation
'hoWdy, prosperity"

Legend Marks /nggernaut

THE term tuggernaut, as applied to represent
some great force or power which marches
forward regardless of what may be crushed
beneath its weight it advances, probably
originated in accidents occurring during the
great festival of the Hindu god Juggernaut
The crowning honor to Juggernaut was the
main festival held annually in the town. of
Juggernaut in India, as the climax of a series
of "a festivals each year. On TINS occasion q
huge image of the god, As feet high and SIS
feet square, is dragged out ON Is huge wheels
feet in diameter. During its slow progress
excited worshfpers fell beneath its wheels and
were crushed to death. These accidental deaths
or. at any rate, deaths attributed to accidents
led to belief that wursffpers took their own
lives by casting themselves before the god in
sacrifice
But whether accident or intent. the fan Of
the bodies IN front Of the wheels meant death,
Tor the statue pulled relentlessiy forward
unmindful Of what might be in It's path. Hence
the modern use of the word Juggernaut is
easily explained.

The various types Of chemical agents which
can be used In naval battles include poison
gases and smokes. irritating tear sneeze gases
and smokes, and the vesicant or blistering gases
and vapors like mustard or the American
Lewisite. The aforementioned are liquids under
ordinary temperatures and are extremely hard
to destroy.
