MARKET DROP LAID
TO HOOVER SPEECH
Senator Byrnes Claims Recent
Climb Came From Rising Hopes
for Roosevelt Victory.

The view that President Hoover's
speech Of acceptance had a retarding
effect on the market for commodities
and securities was expressed last night
by Senator Byrnes, Democrat, of South
Carolina, in a statement issued through
the Publicity Bureau of the Democratic
National Committee.
Senator Byrnes' statement read in
part as follows:
Ever since the nomination Of Gov.
Roosevelt commodities and securities
have been daily increasing in value.
President Hoover Thursday night ac-
cepted the Republican nomination, re-
iterating his promises of four years ago,
and on Friday the market for all COM
modities and securities broke, decreas-
ing values millions of dollars.
'The fear that as a result Of Hoover
changing his position on the liquor
question he might improve his chances
Of election undoubtedly caused the lack
of confidence and broke the market
which has been rising uninterruptedly." !"

YOUNG GIVEN NEW
IDEA OF IDLENESS

Things have changed more than q
bit. No one talks about easy money.
The children, the young people, are
hearing and seeing that idleness
Is CHASTITY thing. They are afraid
Of idleness. Even they have learned
that easy money isn't too reliable.
We thought that the days of great
personal achievement in this country
might be over. There wasn't much
unexplored land left, nor many mines
to discover. But as things stand now,
there are enormous jobs to be done
on the vitalizing and organization of
finance and industry. 1t will take
just as much energy and courage as
can be brought to it.
The ideals Of all these children are
going to be better than they might
have been if things had gone on at
their swift, luxurious, self-indulgent
pace. They are being brought up to
realize that employment is a vital
consideration of an entire country
and to see how interlocked social
groups are.-Margaret Culkin Ban
ming in the Saturday Evening Post.

The First Man Into Picking

The First Man Into Picking
EARLY in 1880 there was retired
- from active service in the United
States army lieutenant colonel
named Calvin P. Titus, and the news
of his retirement recalled for brief
moment the exploit of twenty-one-year
old Bugler Titus which had thrilled
the United States thirty years before.
On the morning of August ID, 1900,
the Fourteenth United States infantry,
commanded by Col. A. S. Daggett,
which formed a part Of the allied
forces sent to rescue the foreigners
besieged in the legations in Picking by
the murderous band Of Chinese rebels,
known as the Boxers, found itself be-
fore the massive walls Of the old Tar.
tar city. From the top of the walls
the Boxers and regular Chinese troops
opened a CALLING fire. e and Fl com.
panies were detached, and under the
protective fire of the rest of the regi-.
ment rushed to the foot of the wall.
Here they were sheltered temporarily,
but their position was precarious one.
Colonel Daggett called for volun.
teers to scale the walls and immedi-
ately Bugler Titus offered to go. Above
him the walls rose sheer for more
than thirty feet, but the centuries had
weathered the bricks until cracks and
crevices afforded some footing for the
daring soldier. Throwing down his
weapons and his equipment, he start.
ed the climb upward. AS he reached
the top he .peered over cautiously No
one was In sight. Then as he drew
himself higher he saw group Of huts
on top of the wall few yards away
Finding the huts unoccupied he re.
turned to the edge Of the wall just in
time to receive the end Of long cord
from Capt. (now Brigadier General)
Henry G. Learned, the regimental ad.
iutant, who was the second man to
climb the wall. On the end Of this
cord was rifle and supply of am.
munition. Selling these. Titus imme-
diately opened fire upon the enemy,
and under hail of bullets held his
position until Captain Learned had
hauled up more rifles and more men
had made their way to the top. Soon
the Stars and Stripes were unfurled and
Titus act gave American soldiers the
honor Of having entered the walled
city before any soldiers from the six
allied powers were in. That afternoon
the Fourteenth entered the legation
grounds in. Peking and were hailed
with JOY by the men, women and chill
dren who for two months had lived
in daily. dread of massacre by the

Victory Over Tropical Scourge

Victory Over Tropical Scourge
THE Spanish-American war was
i over, but there was one enemy
which had not yet been licked, and il
had caused more deaths than haG
ever Spanish bullets. 1t was the vel
low fever, the scourge of the tropics
Down in Cuba three years after the
end Of the war four doctors, Walter
Reed, Jesse w. Lazear, James Car.
roll and Aristides Agramonte, were
seeking its origin. They believed a
mosquito caused it, but weren't sure.
They were experimenting on mice,
guinea pigs and rabbits, but the results
were not satisfactory. Then Doctor
Lazear let mosquito bite him-this
would be test, he said. It was; he
fell Ill and died. To make sure of
the solution of the problem, it would
be necessary to experiment upon other
human beings. Private John r. Kis-
singer Of hospital corps unit in Cuba
heard of this.
To Major Reed went Private Kissin-
ger. 'You can experiment on me-" he
said. The doctor was astonished. Did
he realize what he was saying? Yes,
he did. He was willing to take the
chance, if it meant saving other lives.
Major Reeds hand went up to his cap.
Sir, salute you'll" he said. 1t is not
often that major salutes private
thus. Later the major reported to Of
icials in Washington. "In my opinion
this exhibition of moral courage has
never been surpassed in the annals of
the army of the United States"
So Private Kissinger allowed himself
to be bitten by mosquitoes. The yell
low fever seized him. For eight days
he suffered agonies but in those eigh!
days Reed and his colleagues learned
more about yellow fever than had been
learned in eight years before. At last
the scourge of the tropics was con-
quered. A short time later Private
Kissinger was discharged from the
army and returned to his home in In
diana. But the scourge was PREACHER
GUS enemy. Within few years the
after-effects became apparent His
health was broken and he was unable
to work.
Friends applied for a pension for
him but the government turned it
down. Reduced to poverty, his wife
took in washing and he helped her
strapped in chair. Finally in 1907
the government granted him pen
sion of SIP month, then cancelled it
later. Again his friends rallied to his
aid and in 1911 he was given a grant
Of $500 a month. They also bought a
farm for him, near Huntington, Ind.
He lives there today, hero whose
name is unknown to thousands who
have been saved from the torments
which he endured as soldier Tin line
