an overseas volunteer, who was with
the Fifty-fourth Pioneer outfit.
Would you some time take this
thought and turn it over in your
mind, possibly writing a few para
graphs on the subject? 1t is this.
I have talked with several hundred
men during the last three months
(and they represent fair cross
section of our metropolitan popu-
Iation) about the question raised by
Clarence Darrow, the eminent law
yer, as to the ACCESSIBILITY of per-
hitting any person to exercise the
power of appointment over more
nan two millions Of dollars. Is this
amount not sufficient for any per-
son to leave to his or her family?
1t normally will produce about
100000 annually.
The nation and the state each
have need for much additional rev.
enue, which could be expended for:
l. Unemployment relief; veterans
relief.
2. disqualification for all i'll and
disabled persons.
8. Aid and relief for those gain
ing an education, or useful training.
4. Old age relief and assistance,
keeping old couples together in
reasonable comfort, especially those
who have been the victims Of I'M
scrupulouS agencies.
5. Many other worthy activities
which will come to your mind as
deserving the support of thinking
persons.
The corpus OF the estate might
remain intact so as not to disturb
business conditions, but let so per
cent Of the amount above 100000
vest in the nation, and the remain
ing so per cent vest i'll the state Of
which the decedent died a resident.
Compel an annual accounting Of
the distribution of income and
principal.

Surgical Operation May Be Best Goiter Solution

Rarely the thyroid gland is also sub
ject to cancer.
For any type of enlargement Of
the thyroid gland, whether benign
or malignant, surgical operation
may be the most desirable method
of treatment. 1t has the certainty
Of removal of the gland and permits
the possibility of control of the pa
tents symptoms by the prescription
Of either thyroid gland material or
iodone, according to the nature Of
the symptoms.
Disturbances Of the thyroid gland
in themselves are so serious that
they never should be neglected. 1t
is, like other glands of the body, a
regulator of body function. It's sig
nificance to the body resembles that
of a governor on an engine.

I Remember

BY FAUGHN MANLOVE WHITE
Yes, I remember the Great War;
I was just old enough to go, then
I fought to end war!
I remember the huge guns,
The cold, rain, mud, gas . =. the
noise, filth, fear, anger, curSing:
The carnage
Groaning, shattered, bloody, dying
men-the dead:
The stencil,
The rats:
The faces Of those boys-mere boys
we killed:
The hot fame through my side-my
buddy blown to bits beside me
The endless wait for help the
agonyl
7 sit here in a government hospital,
A gas victim, minus most Of my
right side.
Oh, it was a damned fine warI
I remember it clearly.

Disqualified By Training

EVEN in Chicago, Ickes was hon
l. est. He fought the grafters of
the town and was one of the very
few who failed to fall for insult. 1t
was a long fight and a bitter one,
but in the end he got his man.
Yet this very training, which
made a reputation for Ickes and
served to inspire nationwide praise
of his appointment, is the very
thing that disqualifies him for his
present position. He simply can not
spend. He is SO concerned lest a
single dollar be employed in some
shady way that he has disrupted
the entire program by his inactivity.
Caesars wife should be above sus-
picion, and I understand that there
is a lovely country around those
attitudes, but Ickes should not re-
main above the clouds with the
lovely lady. 1t is time to get back
to earth.
Of course, this does not give the
complete picture. If public works
lag another watchdog of the treas
ury must take part of the blame.
This time I refer to Controller
General McCarl.

and almost no experience in the fine
art Of living.
Some writer once said that the
contemplative desire is one Of the
strongest implanted in man, that
the mind seeks this sustenance as
ardently as the body seeks food.
There can be no doubt that the
staggering amount of insanity and
misery in modern life is due to the
fact that we do not recognize
privacy as a fundamental human
need.
Our congested manner of living,
the doubling up Of families during
depressions, is responsible in part
for our disturbing divorce statistics.
AS first lesson in woman's matri-
monial primer I would write James
Steuhens' wise words: "Quietness is
the beginning of virtue. To be 81
lie is to be beautiful. Stars do not
Ike a noise"

Free Spender Vital Need

NN'CARL is not only honest, but
1V1 he is a pedant for regular
form, which is another way Of say
ing red tape" He is a voucher
hound and a precisionist. He will
fight to the death over commas and
the angle at which signatures are
attached to documents.
You may remember him as the
man who waged a fearful fight as
to whether Labor Secretary Frances
Perkins should receive her checks
in her own and more familiar name
or as Mrs. Wilson. Some people
interpreted this attitude as anti
feminism. But that is not the point.
McCarl probably has no opinion on
the matter. He merely thought that
it didn't sound regular.
I don't know just what ought to
be done about the situation. The
cabinet stands in vital need Of a
free spender. President Roosevelt
may have to call for volunteers.
Or possibly that will not be neces-
sary. He might, for instance, SIM
ply close his eyes and pick any
member Of congress.

It Seems
to Me
by HAYWOOD BROUN=

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-By one
~ of the strangest and most
ironic quirks in American politics
the present administration is being
hampered gravely because 1t gave
a post of responsibility to "a man
a shade too scrupulouS in his hon
esty.
I refer to Harold L. Ickes, secre-
tary of the interior. 1t is his func-
ton to pass around S3,300,00000o
in public works in order to reduce
unemployment and stimulate buy
ing power. An infinitesimal part Of
this has been taken from the till.
Of course. it may be said that
s3.30O,O0 900 is a vast sum and that
it would give anybody pause. Ana
yet I venture to say that there are
scores Of men in either house Of
congress who would have it prac-
.icaIy all spent by now.

A LONE at last" murmurs the
1 n rapturous groom to the happy
bride. This is regarded by novel
readers as the perfect last line for
any love story, or at least it was
before the intrusion Of intimate
bedroom scenes into our fiction.
Second thought, however, proves the
error of this inference. since the
groom is not alone because he has
the bride with him.
And the dickens Of it is that she'll
be with him, generally speaking,
from then on, unless the two Of
them begin their marriage with a
good deal more than the usual
amount of common sense.
The old-fashioned theory that a
man and his wife are one has been
responsible for a good deal of hui
man misery. and this goes for the
man as well las the woman. 1t is

THERE are some types Of en-
l. largement Of the thyroid gland
associated with severe symptoms
brought about by toxic or poisonous
materials developed in the gland
and circulated through the body. In
such cases the eyes protrude, the
pulse becomes rapid, the hands
shake and, in fact, the whole body
becomes overactive.
Such people become exceedingly
thin, since the food is burned up
faster than it can be absorbed. They
also are weak and complain OF be-
ing tired.
This condition can be diagnosed
with a fair degree of certainty by
the symptoms that have been men
toned previously and by measure
ment of the basal metaboliSm. This
is the test of the rate of chemical
changes going on in the body.

self-defense!
Each must spend millions upon millions Of
dollars on the race simply because it is afraid
of its neighbors. Each one devoutly believes
that one or both of its rivals are at fault. Each
is afraid that one of the others may get an
advantage and then start war.
If it weren't so expensive and so dangerous,
it would be good for fine laugh.

The patient taking the test has to
forego his breakfast. He lies quietly
for forty minutes to one hour. A de-
vice then is applied to measure the
output of the patients lungs when
he breathes into it.
Then by suitable mathematical
calculations, the basal metabolism
rate can be determined. The nor
NAL rates for most people are be-
tween plus and minus 7, but occa-
sionally rates higher or lower may
be normal for some people.

Anti-Stencb

That old familiar gag there's
something rotten in Denmark"
might be changed appropriately
to read there's something rotten
in indianapolis" Now the odor
that comes from the packing
companies on West Washington
street may be an orchid to you
but it's stencil in the nose to
me and something should be
done about it. 1t is impossible
to eat a meal within the mile
square without the aggravation
of this nauseating odor.
The city fathers have been
quick to sponsor any activities
that safeguard the public health
and the board of health is I'M
firing in its efforts, too, so why
can't the government go quietly
about its hog killing business
without such a big stink?
Yours for less stencil.

THE WORKERS DOLLAR

r ABOR has achieved notable victory IN
- the section of the retail code which
curbs the abuses of the so-called company
store or commissary. The NRA is to be con-
graduated on making possible long-desired
economic and social reform.
This action reaches much farther than the
mere removal of competition which the gen
eral merchant has always held to be I'M
fair. It hberaJes the worker, by enabling nm
to spend his money where he pleases.
Viewed in this aspect, it becomes OF more
Importance than the eradication OF an unfair
trade practice. So long as any worker is pre-
vented from patronizing the store or market
of his choice he is victim of economic peon-
age, even if it is imposed in the guise OF COM
pany interest in his welfare.

So They Say

Falling in love is by no means the
most foolish thing mankind does
but gravitation can not be held re-
sponsible for that-Professor Al
bert Einstein, German scientist.
Market quotations show that the
patient must not get up too soon and
must beware of drinks Of high
speculative content.-Dean William
H. Spencer Of the University OF
Chicago.
The rats are shooting from corners
now. In other days when prohibi-
ton had dulled the public's sense
of responsibility and officials were
not as stern as they should have
been, the criminal had an easier
time keeping out of prison.-Mayof
Kelly Of Chicago.
More than $1,000 state and fed
eral convicts. working for few
cents a day, were in competition
with free laboring men and women
last year.-Frances Perkins, Secre-
tary Of labor.

second the motion on a drive on all
places who employ married women
who don't have to work and who
have husbands working. I'll admit
there are some who have to work.
If McNutt is the friend to President
Roosevelt he claims to be, he Will
help on this drive.
Let him or Francis Wells visit
between 7 and in the morning
few of these factories and listen
to what is said to the middle aged,
self supporting, taxpaying unem-
ployed people because the last four
years have put a few gray hairs
around their temples, that they are
beyond the age limit.
If this is the law why doesn't 1t

the danger point. Anxiety akin to
illness, lest child's education cease.
All because I can not work at any
steady place of employment, while
my neighbor, a wife with a hus-
bands support, owning their home,
holds down a job that am trained
in, yet I must do without necessaries
of life because there are not enough
jobs. Mrs. B. K. I hope is reading
little on the side of a worth while
argument. What can she think of
herself for holding a job, knowing
these conditions.
T was employed several different
times in the last five years, only to
be laid off when orders were caught
up, while married women, with sup
port, remained, simply because they
were considered old help. I'm sure
Roosevelt, sooner or later, will cor
rect this evil, with presidential
power, if employers refuse to heed
this cause of much poverty, that is
in their power to remedy. They
should belong to NRA now. There
still are as good fish in the sea as
has been caught, as "help want
ad" will prove.

Sam Kramer's Waterville team and Phil Sacco's Brooklyn A. C: representative will play their final games before the City league open ing week from Sunday. This Sun day afternoon they will meet the Meriden Insilcos and Torrington Spears in road tilts.
 The Oilers have the toughest op- position to stack up against, TOT big Bob Walsh, former Eastern leaguer, will be on the mound against them while Fay Vincent, "Razor" Doran, "Hoot" Gibson and Johnny Hoben are also listed in the visitors lineup.
 The villers, managed by the diminutive Hank Gagain, have strengthened their infield by sign ing Billy Schofield, Crosby coach and former Tommies shortstop, to play third base. Jake Vreeland, Ray Ouimet and George Blinn will divide the pitching assignment.
 The Brooklyns will invade the New City for return game with the Spear A. c. who took them over the hurdles here Sunday with an eight run rally in the last in- ming. Joe Strokalaitis is expected to make his debut with the boys from across the bridge.
 Saturday afternoon at Waterville Park the Oilers will meet the Oak vile Davies in an exhibition tilt at 2:S0 o'clock.
 Tomorrow night at Hamilton Park at o'clock. The Brooklyns will hold a workout in preparation for Sundays tilt.

''The fact that the sport has flourii he'd during the past several years in. spite of this handicap shows what wonderful game it is and what a remarkable hold the sport has on the public" ex- plained the famous old shortstop.
 He talked as an authority on the most debated subject in baseball, and with no axe to grind. The 5S- year old coach of the Pittsburgh Pirates is ranked by many experts as the greatest all-round player of all time, and one of the cleanest.
 Unforsettable
 During his 21 years under the late Barney Dreyfuss, starting in 1897, with Louisville (then in the National league) and in 1900 with Pittsburgh, he antassed one of the greatest record combinations in history for batting, base stealing, fielding, throwing and continuous play. Since retiring from the Pirates in 1918, he has been in business and connected with semi pro outfits. This season he re- turned to the Pirates as coach.
 ."The Dutchman," beamed as he announced that at last fans, play CTS and officials seem ready to abolish the dynamite-laden pellet.
 When they do away with the live ball, 1t will improve the game American public loves gamble, and baseball, under proper condi- tions, is the most uncertain of all games. That's the real reason why it's our national sport.''
 He admitted that the live ball increased home run hitting, but emphasized that circuit clouts were only one part of the game.
 ''what kind of a sport would baseball be if all players except the pitcher and catcher were re- moved from the field, letting only over-the-fence drives count as runs?" he asked.
 More Angles
 Honus said other advantages of the live ball would be ore enter taining play in the outfield, caus- ing the fly-chasers to cover more territory, popped up play in the infield, increased the value and need for base-stealing and stimu- late efofrts of pitchers because they would be on more even foot ing with batesmen.
 Despite his grievance against the frisky pill, the bow-legged veter- an was in an am!able mood. Honus was to be welcomed of. ficially at Brooklyn's borough hal and then head a parade to the Pi- rates-Dodgers game at Ebbets field After the game he will be guest o1 honor at dinner of 500 fans Johnny Evers, one of Wagner's rivals in the old days, will be toastmaster.
