Tremendous Advance Made by Surgery

life in the presence of tumors of
the brain and of the spinal cord

It restores tissues that have been

associated with the accidents of

In cases in which extraordinary
activities of the thyroid gland
threaten not only life, but also the
functions of other organs, such as
the heart, the removal of the thy
roid gland yields new life and
health.
Formerly, surgery in conditions
affecting the chest was well nigh
inevitably fatal. Today the surgery

sic under direction of certain male
leaders, who direct them skillfully
from behind the scenes. And COM
pared to these hidden figures, the
ladies are a puny force for discord.
They soon would change their tunes
to peaceful pipings if the masters
gave the signal.
It seems to me that women never
have done much effective speaking
on the subject of war. Rebellious
as they may have been in their
hearts, they have repeated the for
mulas fashioned by men for their
undoing. Why, only God knows.
When you think of the anguish
endured by some woman every rilne
a child is born, you must be aghast
that mothers heretofore have been
so tinid about protesting mans un-
thinking destruction of life. What
we brought forth in supremest
agony, they have blown to bits with
out conjunction.
When women attain true intel
lectual freedom, there will be no
more wars. For we shall not
tolerate them, and our sons will be
taught the ethics of peace. 4

widows were entitled to any more
consideration than any one else.
So far as have been able to
learn, Senator Walsh did not have
service connected disability nor did
he die in active service of his
country.
The lowly doughboy who waded
the mud and mire and suffered the
hardships of war and who forever
must carry with him memories of
the dead along the trench was
forced to pay for his own protec-
ton while in service of his country
through war risk insurance, for
which he paid with his own blood
money for the protection he was to
receive in case of death.
In all fairness, it would seem to
me that our high-salaried repre-
sentatives Of our legislative bodies
would be able to carry their own
protection.
If we are going to practice econ
omy in government, I appeal to
every eX-service man and every
honest thinking American citizen to
see to it that such expenditures are
stopped Immediately.

BY TilIman J. BOugh.
1 read with appreciation your
recent editorial concerning the
spirit in which the eX-service men
had accepted the economy program
as sponsored by our President.
The writer of said editorial fol-
lowed very closely the trend of
thought Of our legion national COM
mander, Louis Johnson, when he
pledged to the chief executive the
support of the million members of
the legion in carrying out his pro-
gram.
Commander Johnson has been
criticised by many for the state
ment that he made, but I am sure
that those who have heard him dis
cuss the matter have no doubt as
to his loyalty to the legion and his
desire to cooperate and serve his
country along with his million
buddieS, in time of peace as they
did in war.
In following out the recommended
ton of our national commander, I
would like to call attention to the
readers of The Times and those in
authority a recent reconmendation
of the President, when he asked
that the appropriation for the
widows of Senators Howell and
Walsh be reduced from $4,000 to
$4,000.
Frankly speaking, I am unable to
understand this method of econ
omy. With all due respect to the
late senators, and we do respect
them as public servants, see no
reason why they are entitled to this
compensation or allowance from
our government.
If all reports are true, Senator
Walshs widow had been in this
country only a very short time and
already had a great deal of money.
If economy is so all-irnportant in
the administration of our govern
ment today, and I believe it is, it
does not appear to me that these

The Sculptor
BY JOHN THOMPSON

I watched his curving fingers mold
the clay,
Watched him claw and scrape and
then careSs
The body which he built from utter
vacantneSs
Into a shaft of honor for his day.
What god-like power sometimes
must flow
Through his pale veins, the power
of man
To breathe forth breath into a plan
To make perfect body grow.
He starts with clay, God starts with
clay,
He molds, God molds, until the
things
Which each has imaged, to each
clings,
One to live, one to decay.

MYTH directness that surely
w must have disturbed their
traditional dignity, Amelia Earhart
informed the members of the D. A.
R. that only those willing to bear
arms should advocate armament.
Much as the Daughters need this
advice, I think there are a great
many gentlemen who need it more
For the Daughters, after all, are
much better at shaping resolutions
than national destinies, whereas the
men who encourage them in their
belligerent attitude, are as powerful
ly intrenched in governmental af-
fairs as ever.
You will find that the loudest bal
lyhooer for war always is the fell
low who is not likely to shoulder
arms. It's surprising how violently
patriotic we can become with some
body else to do the dying.
We cherish the sacred traditions,
but we cherish them ardently when
other blood than ours is spilled to
defend them.
Therefore, I distrust all flag wav-

particularly, advances have been
startling. Use of the X-Ray for
making early diagnoses, and better
preparation of patients, previous to
operation greatly have reduced NOR
tally and increased the percent
age of cures of cancer of various
organds lying within the abdomen.
Operations have been performed
for control of repeated ulcers of
the stomach and of the intestines,
and in many cases one-half to two
thirds of the stomach may be re-
moved with complete recovery of
the patient.
No one understands certainly
the real and complete functions of
the spleen, yet it has been found
that removal of the spleen in Ger
tain blood disorders results in
functional recovery of the patient.
The gallbladder, an organ possessed
by a few animals in addition to
man, now is removed when seri-
ously infected or when subject to
the growth Of stones.

Discomfort FINDS EXPRESSION

THE fight at Washington over the recovery
Il program is getting a pretty loud accom-
paniment back home these days This accom-
paniment, which was almost too soft to be
heard short time ago, is rumblnp louder
now, and no one can form an intelligent opin-
ion about the doings at Washington without
taking this swelling rumble into account.
For the things that are being argued at
Washington devaluation, a mini
mum wage law, mortgage relief, public works
pond issues and all the rest-are not taking
shape IN vacuum. They can not be Judged
IN the clustered calm of an academy.
They must be outlined against their back
ground, and if that background daily is grow
Ing darker and more ominous, it simply means
that it must be one of the determining factors
in the decisions that are made.

leave the school.
According to the news report,
the telephone at the McMath
residence was disconnected for

Rank Neglect

BY Constant Reader
r THINK the majority of people
IL who read about the kidnapping
of little Peggy McMath in Detroit
will be impressed with the fact
that there was no check back from
the school she was attending as
to the legitimacy of the phone call
which was supposed to have been
from her father.
Children in school should be
under the protection of the peo-
pie in charge of the school and it
seems to me that a call of this
kind should have been questioned,

DO you feel that all affection and

It Seems

BY HAYWOOD BRoUN -

NEW YORK, May Al do not
IN read with any high degree Of
regularity the advice of Miss Doro-

am pretty much that way most
Of the time myself.
I have not found that advice is
helpful. In fact, I am all but re-
signed to the estate of being not
candidate This was brought to
my attention sharply only a few
weeks ago in the city of Colon. A
young representative Of the United
Press invited me to accompany him
in a walk through what he termed
some of the interesting sections Of

AS we passed beneath a high
easement window, a romantic young
woman with markedly Spanish
accent leaned out and cried to me,
Fat papa want to buy a bottle of
beer?"

as 1 could muster, Fat papa does
not want to buy bottle of beer"

n ISS DIX made no such reply.
4V1 Instead, she answered sharply:
"A cynic once said that there we're
certain things that were worse than

is the point of view, doubtless, that
is taken by the girls parents, as it
is by all other sophisticated people,
who are not so much shocked as
they are disguised at a public dis
play of affection between engaged
couples.
L never see a girl with her head
pllloWed on a young mans shoulder
in the movies without thinking OF
now 1t hands the multitude a laugh
or an acute sensation of nausea"
I think it is highly unpatriotic for
Miss Dix to attack in this way an
industry which still is in its infancy.
What earthly point is there in going
TO the movies unless somebody's
head is to rest on somebody's
shoulder?
