am regular reader of the
Indianapolis papers and, therefore,
I am learning many things 1 do not
want to believe are true concerning
the inequality of man. Recently,
when Charles Boetcher II was kid
mapped "a millionaire - the whole
United States was ready to assist
in his return, and every one rejoiceS
that he came home again unframed.
Months ago the whole United
States was ready to assist Charles
Lindbergh to recover his kidnapped
son. 1t matters not how much
thought, effort, and money was
spent in the search for the child,
I want to ask: ':Who was it that
brought Lindbergh from the waters
in his fruitless search after a-will-o-
the Wisp, and settled his harassed
mind and body?" The black day
laborer, whom, I understand was
not rewarded-maybe did not ex-
pect or ask for a reward, but was
never perhaps happier in any deed
he ever did than when he broke
the news to the nation that the
baby was found. How has he been
treated? 1 understand from the
papers that his children, who are
just as dear to Mr.. Aliens heart as
was the Lindbergh baby to his par
ents heart, are now in want. I
think that man, by being honest and
thoughtful enough of others happi-
ness to break the news, not only
to the Lindberghs but to the world
that the search could stop, he should
have been recompensed as though
his deed had been performed by g
Curtis or a Jaffsy. But apparently
he was forgotten. am all the more
grieved by the un-Christ- likeness of
our poor old U. S. A when 1 read
about the action of authorities,
whom the government supports in
their actions and with money, de-
port a poor little boy of 10 years of
age who was-according to years
nine times more precious to his par

occur, particularly in the hair fol-
licles or in the roots of the hairs
which are in the nose. These hairs
have the purpose of fltering out
dust or infectious material which
comes into the nose with the air.
1t now generally is we'll known
that common pus forming germs,
such as staphylococcus and strep-
tococcUs, are widespread and easily
get into the human body whenever
they come in contact with tissue
that has been damaged in any
manner.
They may set up an infection
which eventually may spread
throughout the body. The per-
nicious habit of picking the nose,
pulling out the hairs or trying to
squeeze out pimples or other infec-
tons may result in most serious in
Illumination or other disorders.
The right way to take care Of the
nose is to remove carefully, by
proper use of a handkerchief, such
materials as can be reached easily.
Those which can not be reached,
may be washed out by the use Of a
mild spray, without pressure. There

Well Get q Fair Roll

7 DO not make the claim that
4 there aren't some places in the
Street just as fine and as honorable
as Colonel Bradleys joint down
there under the palms, because I
am quite sure there are. But, even
so, 1 believe the colonel still is a lit
tie out in front of all his COM
petitors.
1 never heard Of the Morgans or
the Whitneys giving a customer car
fare home after the last stack of
chips was gone. But the colonel will
do that for you, even if you live in
Paris. There is only one provision.
The next time you are in Palm Beach
you will oblige the colonel by stay
ing far, far away from his place.
The President warns the trade
that he can not guarantee profits
even when he puts his own police
men in charge of the house games.
This is fair enough. All the trade
ever asks is assurance that the
dealer is on the square and the ma
chinery hasn't been tempered with
too much.
Up to now the trade has had no
such assurance, but that hasn't
stopped the action. It seldom does.

ton. He had moved to unity farm credit
agencies.
But these two actions should be accom-
panied, we believe, by governmental attempt
to raise prices and curb production, a govern
mental attempt to give us a planned agricul-
ture.
There has been enough elaboration. The
senate agriculture committee should report
out the Roosevelt farm relief bill, so it may be
enacted without further delay.

The Boys Got Greedy

THE trouble seems to be that the
Il boys in the Street couldn't let
we'll enough alone The normal
house percentage wasn't enough.
Some of them began to wire the
wheel and phony the cubes. The
sight of flocks of innocent lambs,
with wide, trusting eyes, pleading to
be seduced, is not always easy even
for saints to resist.
A grown man couldn't jump over
all the millions that were tossed
away in the market these last few
years, and by now everybody knows
that very substantial part of it
went to white-collared crooks,
euphemistically captioned financiers.
To me the most amazing thing
about this slaughter of the suckers
was the unWavering credulity with
which they accepted every glib
promise of golden riches. BY COM
parison the yokels who used to buy
the Brooklyn Bridge were men of
vast shreWdness and wisdom.
There must have been some per-
sons who gambled in Kreuger 81
Toll who don't yet know where
Sweden is. and probably more who
brought Peruvian bonds in the be-
lief that these had something to do
with a stomach elixir.
Colonel Bradley's place in Palm
Beach is one of the finest gambling
layouts in the country. and, this be-
ing so, it practically follows that it
is one of the squarest.
Yet, if the Colonel were to at
tempt to set his wheel up down.
town, next to one of those invest
ment-security houses, he would find
himself smacked into the stir, or
hoosegow, before he could bat an
eye or even lay down a bunt.

A Load Of Character

TT goes without saying that when
Il you are in a business that is
highly speculative in nature, such
as dealing the bank or trading in
industrial issues, it is not only adj
visable, but imperative, that you
build up lot Of first-rate character
for yourself.
II you fail to do this, it will be
long before old Jonathan Law comes
around to see you, with a panied
look on his pan, just as he has done
IN hundreds Of modest gambling
halls around the country and Just
as ne is preparing to do in the
worlds greatest gambling street.

It Seems
to Me
BY JOE WILLIAMS
tBattIng for Hevwood Brounl

NEW YORK. April 3.-Instead
~ Of a swimming pool. as the
New York News suggests, the
citizens ought to pitch in and buy
President Roosevelt a bicycle. He
delivered his seventh mess e TO
congress this week. Any mC-lClt

pected to appropriate the slogan,

In his latest message the Presi-
dents extreme radicahSm reached
new and staggering high when
he suggested to the distinguished
statesmen that it might not be a
bad idea to police the gambling
halls Of the financial district.
OF course. the President. in de
handing federal supervision of the
brokerage business. did not direct
ly characterize the places as gam
bling halls, but he made it very
clear that. whatever the game, the
play was not always on the level.
AS matter Of fact. the Presi-
dent would nave been guilty of
libel if he had bracketed the two
fields of speculation. and am
quite sure that Col. E. R. Bradley
and Tom Shaw. who will lay you

would have been quite offended, if
not shocked deeply.
1t was inevitable that sooner or
later the government would get
around to keeping tab on the stock
gamblers-and why not? They
have enjoyed a big edge for years,
operating openly and with no legal
discipline, while the humble card
and dice hustlers have had to do
the sneak in grubby hotels and over
smelly garages.

IN all the clamor for reduction

feeling that the buffers should be
crowded off the better courses
and forced to play on other links,
where they will not discommode
the so-called experts.

the municipal golf courses, they

why we should be segregated as

taminate the player who can go

Steel Production Upswing
Continues Unabated

NEW YORK, June 20 U.N.sJ.
Steel production has continued its
sensational advance with present
operations placed at SO per cent
Of capacity, a three-point gain
over the preceding week, the Iron
Age Review says today.
The upward swing which has
been uninterrupted since opera
tions reached a low point at IA
per cent in the third week OF
March has been one Of the sharp
est in the history Of the trade.
Demand for Light Products
The expansion of production
has been closely paralleled by a
comparable growth of consump-
ton, especially on the part Of au-
tomobile makers and other indus
tries making consumer goods
from tin plate, bars, sheets, strip
and other light rolled products.
Business from the construction
industry and the railroads has
been insignificant throughout the
period under review, and it is now
a question how much further
The Washington times., 1933-06-28

steel output can increase with
out such support. Few orders for
the Governments public works
program can reach steel mills be-
fore autumn, and no large rail-
road purchases is in early pros
pect.
The industry's greatest un-
certainty is the extent Of i'm
pending wage advances. Accord
ing to varying estimates, a 10 per
cent wage increase in wage rates
would raise costs 81 to IS a ton.
Steel Prices Strengthen
The Iron Age composite price
for heavy melting steel has ad-
vanced from $9.96 to $1O.O8 a
gross ton. The disappearance of
concessions on plates, long the
weakest of heavy rolled products,
has caused the Iron Age COM
posite price of finished steel to
advance from 1890. to 1.904c.

LATIN AMERICA
GAINS TRADE

Latin America, like the United
States, appears to be emerging
from the depression, according
to reports yesterday to the Com
merce Department.
In Argentina. the rising ten
dency of agricultural prices has
introduced a spirit of hopeful
ness, while the export situation
is tending to improve.
In Chile, better sentiment pre-
walls than in several months,
owing to higher prices for raw
products and increased govern
ment revenues.
In Bolivia, the situation has
eased further, with continuation
of the rising trend of tin ore.
In Peru, continuation of the
better tone in business generally
was reported. with firm cotton
prices improving the growers
position.
In Cuba. business remains prac-
tically unchanged but a much
healthier undertone has de-
veloped."
A seasonal falling off occurred
in Central American business,
except for fairly heavy imports
into Panama in anticipation of
possible tariff increases.

There was considerable selling
