no you feel a slight tremor of

the new moon first over your left

No doubt. These and countless
other superstitions are heritages
left us from ancestors who walked
through life with trembling and
spent great deal Of time placating
inimical universal forces bent, as
they believed, upon mans destruc-
ton.
We laugh-though it may be
timorously-at this childishness. We
scorn the hocus-pocus practiced by
our forebears to avert disaster. And
because we do so, we experience a
feeling Of vast superiority.
Disdainfully we cast into the

CUMMINGS AND COBWEBS

A TTORNEY GENERAL HOMER CUM
n MINGS promises to bring to the bar of
justice the racketeers of high finance and the
racketeers of violence and bloodshed."
This department knows neither rich nor
poor This fact will become increasingly clear
as we proceed" he adds.
Failures of the nations chief law officers in
the past have been more sensational than the
triumphs. The people have seen so many at
torneys-general go down to Washington, shake
their fists at the "malefactors of great wealth."
and then sink down to easy routine.
Again and again the senate has been forced
to step in and do the attorney generals job for
him. It's investigating committees have brought
forth evidence and turned it over to the attor-
ney-general for prosecution. 1t was the sem

who uncovered the Teapot Dome, the Mitchell,
Morgan and other scandals.
And it was an internal revenue man who
hooked and landed Al Capone the one big
public enemy of the racketeering underworld
who so far has paid a bit of his debt to the
law. In the meantime. the attorneys general
have contented themselves with fishing in the
shadows for minnows or rounding up reds.
Laws should be used like seves, to catch
the guilty, great or small, and to let the inno-

fast; while if it were something weightier, it
broke through them and was Off"

perhaps, they will get around to
this in a year or two.
There is no doubt in the minds
of several people, who are not
financially able to employ an at
torney separately, that if the de-
positors of the Trustees System
Corporation will get together and
organize a committee, employ an at
torney, they can get some informa-
ton that will at least clear up this
matter and save others from losing
their savings.
Every depositor in the Trustees
System Corporation of Indiana who
is not satisfied to sit back and wait,

organized, so we can hold a meet

A Pose Is PunctNred

DUT suddenly Hitler's pose as the
ID defender Of the ancient Ger
manic traditions is compromised
seriously. After all, when Toscanini
speaks of Wagner, it is up to every
body else to keep silent. Although
a musician from an alien land, the
Italian maestro is the spiritual
legatee of the dead composer, and
when he refuses to participate in
the festival and makes his protest
on the basis of his artistic and per
sonaI integrity, Herr Hitler is left
with a road company sham on his
hands.
OF course, Wagner never was the
exclusive property of the Teutons.
He belongs to those who best can
understand and interpret him. And
in a very vital sense Artura Tos-
canini has kidnapped Richard and
carried him across the boundary
line.
1t is quite true that none OF as
is Toscanini. Our individual scorn
may carry less weight, but It need
not be inconsiderable when massed
together.
I think that in particular the ar
fists and scientists and learned men
Of the world can and should be or
gained into little band Of shock
troops to pierce the shallow pretense
of Adolf Hitler.

lating in the chest cavity are asso-
ciated almost invariably with tuber-
culoSis.
In other cases, the infection may
be that of pneumonia, and more
rarely the fluid found may give
signs of infection with other or
ganiSmS.
Chronic infections of the chest
wall lead to invalidism and every
thing possible must be done by the
physician to clear up the case.
In the more serious cases, it may
be necessary to operate on the chest
wall, permitting all infectious ma
terial to escape and treating the
condition directly by regular appl-
cations with antiSeptic solutions.
For the average person the most
important fact to bear in mind is
that severe pain in the wall of the
chest, worse on breathing and per-
sistent, represents an acute and
serious condition and should have
prompt medical attention.

dependent on men, but the day of

PretenSe of Pretender

HITLER success in reaching
Il Il power hardly can be attributed
to any ability on his part to confer
immediate material benefits. 1t per-
haps is dangerous to draw an in
dictment against. an entire nation,
but 1 must confess that to me the
Germans always have seemed very
sentimental people.
Sentimental people generally have
great capacity for cruelty. They
invariably will think up high-sound-
ing names and labels for crazy and
Wanton conduct. The meaneSt and
most petty sort of race prejudice
will be hailed as an attempt to
bring back the full flower of Nordic
culture or some nonsense like that.
And in this mood vast bodies of
people patiently will endure all kinds
of privations, for while the fit is on
suffering seems almost a confirma-
ton to them that they are engaged
in holy cause. The way to I'M
dermine national psychology of that
sort is not to remove material re-
sources, out TO take away their
slogans.
That is why Toscanini's rebuff to
the Hitler state is so peculiarly
timely. 1t hits Herr Hitler right in
his oratorical vocabulary. The ghost
of Richard Wagner has been all
dressed up to make a Nazi holiday.
He was the rock upon which it was
planned to build the cultural back
ground of the Nordic crusade.
Wotan and his friends and asso-
ciates we're all distinctly Nordic.
Hitler was about to give his follow
ers, according to his specifications,
bread and Brunhilde. And at the
moment, most of the emphasis fell
on the ring of fire. Through flame
the storm troops were to press on to
victory.

The vote on the repeal of the

one reason for the results of that

the voting was going on was I'M

was beating down on Indianapolis
on June 6.
At a little distance away a clump
OF trees afforded refreshing shade,
and in this shade the wet workers
gathered, awaiting the approach of
citizens DESTROYS of casting their
ballots. The lady with a dry badge
on, however, stood directly in the
sun, and stood there all day.
She was invited over to the shell
ter OF the trees by the others, but
refused to join them. They were no
fit associates for her, she said. She
showed her contempt of them by re-
marks which could not be misun-
derstood, through the day. And she
held her post, like Horatius at the
bridge, until the polls were closed.
Another lady on the dry side of
the question had been given the
post of watcher after the polls
closed. She watched the vote-and
how; She insisted on personally ex-
amining every ballot cast; she gave
every one of the election officials to
understand that she knew they were
crooked; she accused the lady who
was clerk on the. wet side of having
a blue pencil concealed with which
to change dry ballots to wet ones;
she hampered the election officials
to such extent that they got less
than 300 votes counted until long
past midnight.

sure it would have gone dry. 1t

Pleurisy Calls for Prompt Treatment

DLEURISY is an Inflammation
Il of the membrane which lines
the wall Of the chest. It is sig
nif1ed usually by a severe pain,
which becomes worse on breath
ing and which is less when the
lungs are held quiet.
In general, it is safe to regard ev-
cry case of pain in the chest as a
matter for serious attention. If such
a pain is associated with severe
cough and with a fever, it is even
more important.
Among the several ways in which
physicians control pain in the chest
are hot applications, the use of rem
edies containing menthol, and soda
tive drugs which lessen the pain
and serve at the same time to quiet
the breathing.
By a careful physical examina-
ton, the physician can determine
whether any fluid is present in the
chest cavity. In the absence of
ability. to determine the presence of

It Seems

the word boycott" has been used
in reference to organized economic
pressure. II the objection is made
that a successful boycott may lead
to war, the answer comes: But what
else can We do? Do you expect us
to sit idle while millions suffer from
the savage tyranny of the Nazis?'
But it seems to me that recently
there has been evidence that an
other sort of boycott. which does not
stem from war psychology. may be
profoundly useful In fact. 1 think
that ToScanfnis refusal to go to
Bayreuth has been the most devas-
tating blow yet delivered against the
regime OF Hitler.
And to a lesser degree. I think the
movement to take the Olympic
games away from Berlin has some
thing of the same poignancy as q

BY "Seven Suckers"
AS a daily reader Of The Times,
I would like to express my opinion,
as we'll as that of several others,
regarding the Trustee System Serv-
ice.
We want to know why it is i'm
possible to get any information re-
garding our so-called gold notes
purchased in a Trustees Corporation
of Indiana. On April /, Mr.. Eby,
attorney, said that 1.-The Indianap-
oils company is organized under
Indiana law, and, like the other
companies, has it's own assets"
He further stated that the re-
ceivers of the indianapolis company
have not anticipated getting any
thing from the Chicago company
and have left the Chicago holding
company out of the picture. I
wonder if Mr.. Eby also means that
the Trustees System Corporation
of Indiana, also organized under In
diana laws, also is left out of the
picture?
The Indianapolis company sud-
denly divorced itself from the
Trustees Corporation of Indiana
What does this mean? Will our duly
elected authorities close their eyes
to this? Now that our honorable
prosecutor, Mr.. Wilson, has taken
care of the slot-machine racket,
nickels and dimes, it seems that we
should go after the dollar business
conducted by this system"
We who fell" for this gold note
business admit that we are just
plain suckers" but it seems that
even the little fellow with a few
hundred dollars is entitled to have
the court investigate his affairs, too.
1t is surprising that Judge Cox has
not attempted to lift the veil of
secrecy from around the Trustees
System Service outfit. The de-
positors and stockholders have a
right to know what is going on, but,

secret as the effect Of its revelation will be on
the public mind.
The depression has helped us to get past
that notion; We have stopped thinking that
the worst thing We can do is to displease the
very wealthy.
And the countrys response to Mr. Van
Sweringens complaint probably will be an
undignifled and derisive, "Oh, yeah?"

fluid, it is not necessary to resort to
the more serious measures which
physicians may employ in cases in
which presence of fluid quite Ger
tainly is determined.
Invariably, of course, such pa
tients should be put to bed with
good nursing care and given an ex-
ceedingly light diet, perhaps milk
alone.
In cases where there Is doubt as
to whether any fluid is present, a
physician may insert a needle
through the chest wall. If fluid is
present, it will come through the
needle.
A careful examination of this
fluid will enable him to determine
the nature of the Inflammation and

To Begin Behring'S on
Fort Peck Reservoir

Kansas City, July 2s.-E-Within
10 days surveys and borings will be-
gin on the site of the proposed Fort
Peck reservoir in eastern Montana,
which army engineers say will insure
an to 9 foot channel in the Missouri
river from Sioux City to the mouth.
Under authorization received two
weeks ago from the war department,
Captain Theodore Wyman, heading
the engineers on the upper Missouri,
has contracted with the Longyear
Exploration company of Minneapolis
for the preliminary work, with stipu-
lation that activities must begin
within 10 days.
Colonel George r. Spalding, army
corps Of engineers, recently made a
favorable report on the Fort Peck
reservoirs as an aid to navigation, but
disapproved of the project on eco
nomic grounds. He held it would cost
too much in proportion to the benefits
to be derived.
It has been estimated the dam and
other construction required for the
reservoir would cost $4,000 900. j.
