Tragedy and Farce

IF human life were not at stake
Z this Scottsboro case might take
rank with the most inspired of all
eXtravaganzas. but the shadow of
the chair falls across such ironic
rlbaldries as the conviction of a
Negro field hand on the ground that
Alabama does not like the modes
and manners Of New York City.
instead Of crown of thorns.
Alabama rhetoric pressed down a
high hat upon this poor laborer.
But the irony of the situation
swings wide beyond the borders Of
the state where the trial was held.
Does the learned counsellor from
the Southland actually believe that
the song of the slave ship never
floats above the roofs of Harlem?
Instead Of the fantastic festival
outlined by the prosecutor, what
would New York really have to offer
any Haywood Patterson? Morning
coats and garlands? Not exactly
The great and free city Of New York
would afford him an opportunity TO
share a three-room apartment with
nine or ten of his fellows. And only
with the best of luck would be able
to pay the rent.
The south imposes rather more
lynching, legal and otherwise. New
York and Chicago take it ou5 in
tuberculosis.
We have no right to sit in the
seats Of the scornfuI. Nor is it the
part Of wisdom TO think of the
Scottsboro case as a local issue. We
will get nowhere if comment merely
takes the form Of attacks upon the
legal machinery Of Alabama and
charges that Decatur opinion is
blinded by bigotry That would
merely be matter of the mote
calling the beam black.

Professor Herrick, and compressed It into a
two-quart jar, you still would have an affair
less bewilderingly intricate than the human
brain.
Is it any wonder that our specialists still
have great deal to learn about the way the
mind operates?
Some day, says Professor Herrick they will
have pretty clear idea how the brain does
its work; but It seems safe bet that that
day is a long way off.

So They Say

The trouble with law and govern
ment is lawyers.-Clarence DarroW
Chicago attorney.
We have had too much efficiency,
and what we need is to bring about
inef1lciency for a time, to eliminate
this cycle which merely stimulates
low wages and lack of consumption.
DIR. Irving Langmuir, chemist
Nobel prize winner.
Beer will be a great help in our
fight against repeal of the eight
zenith amendment-Mrs. Rushmore
Patterson, vice chairman Allied
Forces for Prohibition.
They beg for bread and we give
them beer; they ask for fish and we
give them a stone.-Rev. Forest
w. Hall, member of Ohio legisla-
ture.
So far as the army is concerned,
we have too many bureaus already
and we could spare SIX or eight of
them with advantage to the nation
al defense and to the joy of the tax
payer.-Johnson Hagood, major
general commanding the Eighth
corps area.

WORK IN THE FORESTS

cantonments, preparing to go to work on Presi-
dent Roosevelts reforestation program, i
might be worth while to clear up a miscon-
ception or two which most Of us seem to en-
terrain about the work they will do.
Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the
American Tree Association, points out that
planting trees will actually be a minor phase
of their program. There is lot more to re-
forestation than that.
"a forest work program" he says, calls
for much clearing out Of woodlands as one
phase Of fire prevention. Forest trails must
be made SO that fire areas may be reached.
The burned-over areas must be cleared of
dead timber.
AREAS choked with young trees must be
thnned to let the best trees grow. So it will
be seen that the planting of trees in some
areas will be the last thing on the program"

ness Of hearing has come through
four generations.
In the records Of the Ohio State
School for the Deaf were found re-
ports concerning thirty-one families
in which both parents we're deaf
and at least one child was in an in
stitution.
In about two-thirds of the cases
in which both parents are deaf, the
children can hear; in one-third,
however, the children are also deaf.
The available evidence indicates
that hereditary deaf-mutism and
the tendency to otosclerosis are in
herited, but that the characteristic
is what is called a repressive char
acteristic and tends to be bred out
Of the race.
If deaf persons are able to marry
those who hear. such hereditary
deafness gradually will be elimi-
mated.

April Sickness
BY LIONEL WIGGANT

~
Caring little for what I NAV
Encuonted on an April day,
go unarmed into the street,
My poor, defenseless fingers bare
TO Every breeze, however sweet,
To every flower, however fair.
Foolhardy me, with not a thought
For any bud or bloom or what
Their terrifying colors paint
Upon my eyes without restraint!
It's happened every year before
ought to hide behind a door
And lock the giddy season out.
And read a magazine, no doubt!
But like man without a brain,
l wander dazzled in the rain,
And cape and gasp and sniff and run
And drop ablinking in the sun!

Well, just between us boys, it
looks like Anderson is trying to
grab the spotlight from Muncie, it's
neighbor.
Those of us who have watched
the queer turns of politics in Indi-
ana rather regret to see Anderson
on the front page as little Muncie.
While politics upset Indianapolis,
the northern part of the state, and
Delaware county, Anderson, for
years, held its head and kept out
Of the mess.
We can't underStand-and we'd
like to know the answer, too-why
a former mayor of Anderson, who
was considered on his deathbed by
a federal judge and who, apparent

Perhaps it's not his fault. Perhaps
he has been urged to take the step.

courts of Madison county and the
city is kept in turmoil, wouldn't it

Fat Women Often Have
High Blood Pressure

If you are fat and have high blood
pressure read this letter from Mrs.
E. S. B., of Dodge City, Kansas
then use your own judgment-it was
written January l, 1882.
THE reason I am taking KruS-
chen Salts is: I was overweight,
naturally was sluggish in every way.
I had high blood pressure and was
so nervous I did not enjoy myself.
I could not sleep and day after day
I spent in bed with headaches. I
had tried everything I ever heard
Of to remove fat from my body and
nothing did me any good.
Il read so much in the papers about
Kruschen Salts but to myself it was
like all the rest, but | finally decided
to try it, And Sept 90. 1881, 1 started
taking Kruschen and dieting as you
suggested.
II have lost 80 lbs. and L can hon
estIy say 1 never felt better in all my
life. l sleep fine and my blood pres
sure is normal. My nerves are also
better. 1 have recommended Kruschen
Salts to lots of people and l know
several are taking them with good re-
suits"

There is not a single male char

Emilia linda as the strict. stern and

Watch linda as she terrorizes and
makes inhuman machines out Of the
girls. Watch her when she realizes
that she had made animals out of
the girls. Watch her when she
crumbles up and hobbies away on
her cane.
Here is acting at all times of the

but cruel acting. Her work has ire
mendous scope and power.
Then watch Hertha ThieIe as the
student Manuela, a sensitive, hui
man, natural girl who is forced into
an attempt at suicide when she
realizes the horrible creature she is
being frozen into by linda.
Watch the suicide attempt scene
from the standpoint of direction as

Here is one scene I never will be

Here is gigantic, real, cruel I'M

town, just within the eastern border

about 7 a. m, though l had been
waiting at the station from dawn.
The train was laden with ready
made track, and four wheel trucks
for freight cars, for a light railway
which IS to be laid from Koho-

From Kohokuinzu I came here on
a little train of three or four fiat
cars with a gasoline engine.

TRANSPORT HEADQUARTERS,

was spent in Chinese bathhouse at
Peipiao enlivened by conversation
with two Chinese brothers, who
knew a little English and possessed
an old torn American school reader,
and by the stares of customers of
the establishment
The bathhOuSe had plenty of
warmth, great virtue in this bit
terly cold country and plenty of hot
tea, useful in washing down some
bits of provisions 7 had. The bath
water looked dirtier than I myself
was, so passed it up.
Tells of Food Shortage
Tonight I am staying in an
abandoned Chinese building, not far
from headquarters I arrived at
nightlall after travelling most Of the
day with a column of motor trucks.
carrying soldiers and provisions. I
am much bruised from the constant
jolting over a bad road.
The dark, deserted streets, with
an occasional fitting, shadoWy fig
ure, present an eerie appearance,
and l am glad to be with the bust
nesS-like Japanese soldiers, whose
sentrieS are posted here and there.
l called on the transport colonel
here. He told me of conditions in
ChaOyang, occupied only a few days
before; food was short. and the peo-
pie had feared starvation if the
Chinese Soldiery had been on their
hands much longer The colonel
gave me some Of his own vations.
Sniper Nearly Successful
A jovial major, who told me he
had had nothing to eat since yeSter-
day, had just received a bottle by
airplane and he insisted on making
me take a drink, which warmed me
up considerably and counteracted
the numbing effects of the journey.
While we were talking, Sniper
slipped up among the motor trucks.
and fired at the sentry just outside
the coloners door, hitting his bayo-
net.
With the aid of the civilian official
accompanying me from the KWan-
tung army headquarters, I have
managed to make a fire in the
stove-bed in the doorless building 1
am in tonight.
