THE average person is adapted
l. to living at reasonably low alti-
tudes.
When you go higher than 1900
feet above sea level, you are likely
to develop considerable discomfort.
Sometimes the distress is so seri-
Gus as to lead to severe illness.
If you go up very rapidly, as in
an airplane or balloon, the symp-
toms may come on suddenly. If
you go up by easy stages, as in
mountain climbing, the symptoms
develop more slowly.
One American investigator, who
climbed the Andes in Peru in 1922,
points out that the following
changes occur as you go to higher
altitude: First, there is an increase
in the rate and depth of breathing
with the decrease Of oxygen pres

blood cells and red coloring matter

THE TERRAIN CASE

Art Smith and his Predetermined Khaki
Shirts. The Terzani case is something diff

Athos Terzani, young anti-FaSciSt, faces
trial on Nov 81 for numbering his friend, An

when the Khaki Shirts elected anti-Fascists

fleeing, Terzani is said to have pointed out the
real assailant, also identified by another eye
witness. This suspect was held, but after
superficial questioning was released, and Ter

murder.

Smith boosted that eve" had killed one rad

New York riot. Since lodging the charge,
Smith and his associates have disappeared.
General" Smiths Fascist march on Wash

was comic opera stuff. If, as the defense COM

The press states that the Indiana
chapter, Sons of American Revolu-
ton, opposes Russian recognition.
One hundred fifty-seven years ago
their forebears adopted a series Of
resolutions setting out the right OF
revolution and setting forth the
principles of the government I'M
der which we now live. This Sc
rieS of resolutions was as foreign to
the ideas of government in exist
ence in those days and met with
governments of Europe as the prin-
cipleS of FaScism and Communism
do today.
The people of France in the revo-
luton of 1888, which was based
upon the same principles as the
American Revolution, drew down
upon the government formed by
them complete circle of powerful
foes. Now apply the resolutions
adopted by the S. A R. to this gov
eminent of the French people,
which Jefferson and the Republican
party in the United States hailed
with such enthusiasm. In almost
every particular it applies to the
revolutionary government of France
equally as well as to the Soviet gov
eminent Of Russia. Then why so
much fol-de-rol about recognizing
Russia? ~
From whence comes the propa-
ganda which keeps our so-called pa
triotic societies from being liberal
minded enough to give these gov
ernmental experiments the chance
that their fathers fought for and
won during our revolution? Can it
be possible that the anti-recogniza
tionists fear that the forgotten
man" will learn that Russia has no
unemployment, and what food,
while scarce, is not reserved for
those who have more than it is
possible to consume?

AS to the criticisms of our police
in pursuing the Dillinger gang: Why
should they even have to be wor-
ried with that kind Of thing? They
had them -once-let NIcNutt catch
them, he turned them out He
should have had to face that gun
fight in Chicago recently with Dill
linger alone and without weapon.
We would all have been better off
today and I'm Democrat too, one
who was loudly heard during the
campaign; so loudly heard that I
am now ashamed to face my good
Republican neighbors and friends
with my whipping.

Important Oversight

TINE second cardinal error in the
l. farewell statement of the
hard-money advocate was his fail
ure to comprehend the fact that
imitation is a political as well as an
economic issue. You may, if you
chooe. assert a belief that such
problems should not be thrown in a
congressional battle royal but left
to the calm elaboration Of high
commission Yet this is an aca-
demic objection. For veal or woe,
things are not done in that way
under the provisions Of the Consti-
tuition by which the government
functions.
The selfsame critics who assert
that President Roosevelt should re-
member the existence Of three
branches of the government assail
him with harsh words when he
does take cognizance of the fact
that there is an institution called
congress. Any realistic observer
ought to know that in January a
number of men are going to Wash
ington who will be hellbent upon
imitation.
In the last session President
Roosevelt was able to obtain a bill
which made it possible for him to
initiate. but left any specification TO
his discretion. The representa-
tiveS and the senators who have
been home and in close contact with
farmers and small home owners are
going into the next session deter
mined to make initiation manda-
tory In my judgment not even a
presidential veto could stand against
this tide. To put it very bluntly.
we are going to have initiation, and
not all the piety or wit of DR..
Sprague can check it.
The only problem which remains
is the manner in which this de-
valuation of the dollar is to be ac-
complished. If the gold purchase
plan can raise commodity prices,
and specifically the price of wheat,
sufficiently before the beginning of
the year, we will avoid greenbacks.
Otherwise, the presses are going to
hum.

1t is to be hoped that the letter
signed &C. D. B." in regard to the
alleged different types of meals
served to homeless men and visiting
clubWomen will be answered by some
one in a position to know the true
facts of the situation.
AS one of the visiting clubWomen"
I can vouch for the truth of one
statement in G. D. BIS letter-that
we were served a luncheon of roast
beef, brown gravy, brown potatoes,
carrot and cabbage salad, chocolate
pudding and coffee. Also, generous
slices of white bread and milk were
served those who did not drink
coffee. I distinctly remember that
we were told that exactly the same
menu as composed our luncheon
would be served to the homeless
men later that afternoon gratis.
Our luncheon was surprisingly good,
well cooked and fairly we'll bal

and unbalanced a diet as plain

toes, imitation chocolate pudding
and cold water? BY "half-boiled"
one wonders if the writer meant
half-cooked or merely half of a
boiled potato. Be that as it may,
there isn't much to choose between
a badly cooked whole potato and
half of a well-cooked potato, if he
were really hungry, as doubtless
these men always must be since
two meals a day are all they ever
are given.
There is probably no institution

A Change of Heart
T STARTED out by being an al

T STARTED out by being an anti
Il infationist, but I have switched
around completely. I was driven
into the greenback camp by the
arguments of the hard-money lads.
And chiefly was alienated by the
various speeches I read in which it
was said that it was dishonest to
permit debtors to pay off their debts
in a cheaper dollar. The gentle
men who raised this contention
never mentioned the sharpness and
the cruelty of compelling home own
ers to carry the heavy burden Of
deflation. I would hate to try to
appease a farmer who was being
tossed off his land by reading to
him Dr. Spragues letter in defense
of sound money.
I always have thought that people
who used this phrase should define
its precise meaning a little more
closely. Sound money for Whom?"
I want to inquire. Is sterilization
to be bled for in order to protect
Barbara's millions or the dowry Of
Doris?
If were a creditor, I suppose I
would see with a creditors eyes and
hear with a creditors ears. AS it
happens, belong to the vast, the
growing and the noble army Of
debtors.
Wise winners in poker games
which run shade too high cut
down the indebtedness by saying
to some prominent loser: "I'u match
double or quits for half the sum
you owe" And if they are wise,
they keep on matching until they
have the good fortune to lose When
a man owes so much that he can
not begin to pay the total, he win
probably compromise by paying
nothing at all.
Back in the good old days be-
fore fOrSook all games of chance,
I always felt that I would rather get
SO in cash from a victim than
have him owe me 500. Mortgage
holders ought to be as smart as
that, but they are not. The tragic
thing about evictions is that son>S-
body who wants the place very
much is set adrift, and somebody
who can't do thing with the prop
erty finds it dropped into his lap.

It Seems

NEW YORK. Nov. 25.-It was a
~ lively letter which Professor
o. NJ w. Sprague wrote to Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Candor, clarity and a deep sin

sage of resignation. And yet
think the learned doctor was pal
pably wrong upon at least three
counts.

of Yellowstone park wonders, is in
the park again to visit the wond-
ers that brought him fame.
As a young man in Washington
he heard Nathanial Langford,
member of the famous Washburn-
Langford-D oane expedition of 1870
lecture on Yellowstone wonders.
This gave him the urge to catch
some of the beauties of the park
for Photographic records. and he
joined the Hayden survey party.

mediately after he had returned
from the expedition the year be-

that time, Mr.. Jackson achieved
work which is still outstanding to-
day, his pictures today being
found in numerous books on Vel

Fishing in Park is Better This
Year Than in 1892 Reports Show

Yellowstone Park, Wyo., July
10.-Fishn's better than ever in
Yellowstone park this season, a
check by park rangers indicates.
So far this season 26,450 trout had
been caught in Yellowstone waters
by the evening of July A.
As each automobile visitor
leaves the park, a ranger queries
him about his luck at fishing. July
3 and 4 seemed to have been par
ticularly lucky for fishermen and
equally unlucky for the finny
tribe, for 4,152 fish reposed in fish
baskets at the end of the holiday.
With the park season only two
weeks under way and still ten
weeks to go, it is expected that
the record catch of 1881, when
91,357 fish were caught, will be
surpassed this season. In 1882,
Sl,l86 fish were reported caught.
No danger of depletion or even
decrease in game fish is possible,
however, because more than seven
million fish will be replaced in
Yellowstone waters during the
