Works Both Ways

A citiDenry imbued with the spirit
Of 7e u needed, II the country Is to
cope successfully with gangsters, &C
cording to the international Police
Chiefs association In recent conven-
ton. .......
The police chiefs ask, in effect,
that every citizen put himself on the
spot" and Danish all fear Of testimony
against gangsters.
And citizens, on their side, plead
with police all over the country to
afford every protection to the person
daring enough to take such risk.
It undoubtedly Is true that scores
OF citizens who could give evidence
against racketeers and gangsters are
held back from such action by fear
Of consequences. And rghtfully so.
No man or woman cares to invite
q shot in the dark, just because he
did his civic duty, especially when
he suspects that . policeman Is likely
to look the other way because the
shooting was done by someone TN
good" with the Big Boss.
Give our citizens protection and
they will do their part. But the po-
lice have been far from diligent
enough In their pursuit Of gangsters
to give us the confidence we need ia
step up to the witness stand and tell
our stories without fear Of deadly
reprisal.

some white spots removed from the
skin under my eyes. (Mrs. F. H)
Answer-Yes, good skin specialist
(only physician should be entrusted
with such treatment) can oblitreate
the blemishes either with electro
desiccation, electrolysis, carbon d1ox-

A. thu season for Ice skating nears,
parents once more face the task Of
keeping their youngsters off the ice
until It = perfectly safe. Here Is a
little safety formula furnished by the
National Safety Council which they
might well learn:
Ice one inch thick Is not safe. Ice
two inches thick will bold one person.
leo three inches thick will hold small
groups. Ice four inches thick is safe
for large groups.
This rule should be observed care
fully In regions where ice-skating on
streams and lakes Is popular. Most
Of the drownings reported occur dur
ing the first few weeks Of winter when
the Ice looks safe but Is not suffici-
emily thick in Ill places to sustain
the skaters weight.

rotary Wallace's surprise when he
suddenly found that the fate OF the
Cuban government was up to him.
The AAA processing tax on corn Is

previously set 20 cents, because that

Ambassador Sumner Welles hurried
down to the Department Of Agricul-

sugar industry, dependent on the
American market. couldn't stand the
tax.
It would mean revolt. Welles
doesn't like the Cuban government.

and Cuba's economic safety were in

Ladies and Prizefighters

Society lifts an eyebrow as Mrs.
Madeline Force Dick il married to
Emo Fiermonte, an Italian prize
fighter. Mrs. Dick happens to be the
widow Of John Jacob Aston, who
stepped aside as the Lusitania was
sinking to permit his then youthful
bride to take her place with other
women and children In q ufeboat.
Discussion Of the marriage makes
tnuch Of the tragic background Of
Eiermonte's bride. To think, say the
dowagers, that Madeline would do
such . thing as marry prizefighter,
after Astor's noble act in permitting
her to be saved, while he himself
went to certain death!
But, then, Mrs. Madeline Force
Dick Is . woman, after all. EMO

prizefighter, Is . man. It Is the In
alenable privilege Of any woman to
marry any man, societys eyebrow to

CRAMPS IN LEGS AT NIGHT

The symposium on leg cramps,
which seem to trouble many persons
at night and prevent sleep, would run
on and on if we held the forum open
long enough, but there are enough
votes now in to call 1t day and re-
port the outcome to our readers. In
order to save space I'll quote only the
essential point and give the initials

at night. A niece from Saskatoon
advised simple remedy: Wear tight
garters at night. I have done so
ever since and have never had any
more cramps. IT. W. (Mrs. F. s.

I have found 1t efficacious to place
the hollow OF the foot Of the cramped
leg on the instep Of other foot and
press steady. This relieves the cramp
without the necessity Of getting up.

The New MeteorOlOgy
~ YY--1. RAsAaA
New York Tines

When the president appointed the
Science Advisory Board to act under
the jurisdiction Of the National Acad-
envy OF Sciences and the National Re-
search Council he took q step which
may prove to be Of historic impor-
lance. Meteorologists win think so
after reading that the boards special
committee on the weather bureau has
recommended the European method
Of analyzing air masses In forecasting
the weather.
To the man content with the pre-
diction that tomorrow will be fair
and warm or cold and rainy, air.
mass analysis means nothing. An
outgrowth Of the war, it marks one Of
the more important scientific adj
vances Of our time. Unable to OBJ
tain from ships and from the Cont
nent Geographic reports Of baro-
metric conditions for forecasting,
Professor v. Bjerknes Of the Geo.
physical Institute Of Bergen evolved
method which proved to be 50
highly useful In his native Norway
that 1t has been adopted as whole
by Russia and In part by other Euro
peau countries. It Is this method
which Is now recommended for the
United States, where, it must be add
ed, 1t has been the subject Of study
at the Massachusetts Institute OF
Technology.
Those strange curved lines on
weather maps, "isobars" in technical
parlance, indicate pressure distribu-
ton. The weather Is forecast with
the aid Of Q succession Of such maps
Yet it has long been known that
isobars are misleading. They reduce
pressures to sea level-something
purely imaginary for the high pla-
teau Of the Middle West and the
still higher West. Temperature. vino
and weather are not reduced to ses
level. The map Is therefore q con-
glomerate Of the imagined and thu
observed.
How different Is a Norwegian o.
Russian map! Based on the theory
that an equatorial warm wind slide!
up on q cold polar wind, it picture!
the conditions that prevail In vertica
slices OF the atmosphere. Norwegian
talk Of the polar 'front.'" the boun'
dairy where the winds battle ant
where weather Is made. It u tn
study Of these superposed currents
variously affected by the earth's TO
tation and local conditions, tina
comprises much Of air-mass analysis
Given enough stations, and obServa'
lions made from airplanes o. b!
means Of unnamed balloons, tn
front Is easily located. It proves Il
be an Intangible mass girdling tn
earth and forever writhing, so tina
1t Is often carried many degrees o
latitude north or south. II our own
meteorologists have made little prac
tical use Of q method which has beer
brilliantly successful abroad. it Is be
cause Of the modifying conditions o
our peculiar continent. But it !
precisely these that should be studiet
in an effort to give Us q more trust

Sorry After.Effects of
Depression

n i not an easy thing to get ut
the human realities lying beneath
those statistics which tell the story
of depression and recovery.
It is easy, for instance, to say that
100000 men-or 100000. Or what
ever the number may behave gone
back to work. But it h hard to look
behind the figures and So the indi-
yiduals concerned: hard to get at

they are all-important
The National Women's Committee
Of the 1888 Mobilization for Human
Needs recently made . survey among
leading employers Of the country to|
find out Just what the last four years
have done to American citizens. Their
report makes enlightening reading.
Most employers report that the
eobless men who came back 70 work
have been changed deeply By the de-
preston. They suffer from . mental
depression not easily dispelled: they
worry about the future; they have in
many cases lost faith IN themselves
and In society.
They show the effect q long con-
ttnued nerve strain. Their efficiency
rs workers Is impaired by this.
They show an almost pathetic
eagerness to make good on their new
Jobs. In many plants the accident
rate has risen, because the men, al
though out Of practice, are anxious
to do as full days work - possible.
Most Of the men returning to work
are harassed by debts. Many have
family problems brought on By the
depression.
In very many cases the returning
workers are IN poor physical condi-
ton, due to continued malnutrition.
A pathetic story comes from Chi
cago, telling how q large industrial
firm found that its new hands were
Of little value for the first ten days
or so-because they almost invari-
ably got stomach trouble from over
eating!
A great many newly employed men
went without lunches 80 they could
turn more pay over to their families.
Furthermore, those hardest hit by
the depression are not being re-
employed. In most cases, employers
are forced by economic necessity to
Sehire those men who look physically
5it-which usually means that the
msn who have been out OF work the
shortest time are the first to get
iobk
Much more could b printed along
this line. But this is enough to show
that simply restoring jobs does not
meet the problem fully.
We owe more than work to these
victims Of the depression. Somehow
No must give them q chance to re-
gain full physical and mental health.
