The sun editorial dealt with
President Euot's proposal to give
an A. B. degree to students able
10 qualify in three years, rather
than have them wait until their
four-year terms we're completed.
Franklin Roosevelt, by the way,
was among the first to get a degree
under the ruling. He kept his
class designation as 1904, however,
and returned for a fourth year at
the school. largely, it is said. to
continue his work with the Grim
son. He was made president Of the
Crimson in his final year.
THE Crimson's attack on the
i Sun started by stating that
the editorial about Harvard was
rather readable, but decidedly
narrow" It then continued:
1T may, however, be some
thing Of a mistake to take too
seriously an editorial of this sort,
and the Suns reputation of caring
more about a readable editorial
than one which is absolutely cor
rect in regard to its statements
probably accounts for this rather
foolish attack on the university
policy.
The very next month the Book
man magazine said some. unkind
things about the Crimson and
Editor Roosevelt and his cohorts
didn't like it one bit. The article
was entitled American Under
graduate Journalism"

charged editorially, asserting that
the editors had found four mis-

cases in which the newspapers
have sacrificed truth and decency
to obtain a sensation which will
attract public attention"
But the Boston papers remained
unregenerate. They continued to
print news from Harvard and,
much to the embarrassment of
the Crimson, they "Scooped' the
campus yard at Harvard on APP
pointment of Mr.. Cranston as
head coach.
At this juncture, the editors
seemed to tire of such a losing
campaign as their attempt to re-
form the outside press and turned
their zeal toward things they con-
sidered needed remedying within
the school itself.

Your Health
BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN-

A SIX your doctor what four bad habits most
n commonly developed in infancy, and he'll prob
ably reply: Finger sucking nail biting, dirt eating
and bed wetting"
Little children will suck their thumbs and fingers,
sometimes the clothing blankets; in fact, almost
anything that they get between their lips. Such
habits begin quite early IN infancy and, not broken
early, may last until the child is or years Old
In most instances the sucking Of fingers is not
an exceedingly serious performance, but in some
it may influence the shape of the mouth or
fingers 1t also is bad because it will aggravate dis
turbances of digestion and help to introduce infection
into the mouth
Parents and nurses are inclined to overlook the
habit because it keeps the child quiet But you
should develop other Of quoting your child,
means which are safer and less likely to lead into
wrong mental attitudes.
VERY seldom is the constant sucking of finger
due to hunger But if your child is hungry it
may suck its fingers whereas otherwise it might not
There are many different ways of controlling
finger sucking from the simple means Of putting
small pasteboard splints on the elbows, to prevent
the child from bending his arms and fastening the
hands to the sides during sleep such methods as
the wearing of mittens, the winding Of adhesive
plaster around the fingers the application Of bitter
tasting substances and the use Of other sorts OF pre-
ventive devices.
Most important is plenty of attention on your
part to the correction Of the difficulty Reiteration
OF the warning ana constant removal OF the myers
in most instances bring about some result.
MAIL biting and dirt eating are bad habits which
~ usually develop in children who are excessively
nervous or whose general health IS less than normal
Children with such tendencies must also be con-
troled by watching and by every effort to break up
the habit early as possible.
Mosts children be stopped from wettng the
bed at the age of two and a half years some h.uch
earlier and few not until after three years Of
After three. regular wetting Of the bed is an ap-
normal performance and should be controlled To
prevent this habit give the child plenty OF milk and
water early in the day. but no fluids after IN the
afternoon AT 10 pick up the child and give IL OPP
Dortunity to empty the bladder
Here again. mental attention is exceedingly In
portant. Everything possible must be done TO MAKE
the child interested and cooperative. In TINS, re-
wards are more effective than punishment
The interest of the child can be gained by mark
ing on a calendar the days which II IS rewarded
for being successful 1t IS of course important that
every physical defect that noted be properly con-
troIled.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4-The souvenir hunting in

caused serious breach Of manners and taste in the
OF the late John Dilnger, the boy from Indiana
who had dread of being locked up. The boy now

his old father has been advised that some one ex-

1t is possible that some ex-

wrong in the hope Of discover
ing something helpful about the
disease called claustrophobia,
which is the scientific name for
the dread Of being locked up.

Months ago President Roosevelt
said he believed members of the
Democratic national committee
should not practice before gov
eminent departments, should not
hold public office, and should not
bid on government contracts.
Postmaster General Farley, new
ertheleSs, continues to be national
chairman. He failed to comply
with the Presidents request that
he prepare legislation placing all
postmasterships on a genuine civil
service basis. Instead, he prepared
an executive order, which the
President signed, altering the basis
of appointing first, second and
third class postmaSters. Debate
still is raging as to whether this
made appointments more or less
political.
CECRETARY MORGENTHAU,
~ in addition, has forbidden
employees under him to hold any
other public or political office, or
to own, edit or manage a politi-
cal publication.
Two of the most prominent Of
f1cials Jared by Mr. Morgenthaus
order are M. A. Julian, treasurer
of the United States, who still is
member of the national commit
tee, and David l.. Lawrence, COL
lector Of internal revenue at Pitts
burgh and chairman of the Dem
Ocratic state committee. Mr..
Lawrence is carrying on Joseph
Guffey's campaign for the United
States senate and may give up
his government job rather than
his political one.
The drive begun by the Presi-
dent six months ago to divorce
the administration from the more
sordid aspects Of politics has had
some victories.
Alvin F. Fix resigned as internal
revenue collector at Philadelphia
on the Presidents request and his
assistant and five subordinates
were removed on charges they
had solicited political contribu-
tons from other employees.
Horatio Abbott, Democratic ma
tional committeeman from Mich
igan, resigned as collector at De-
troit when it was charged that
he had been concerned in solicit
ing campaign contributions.
A number Of Democratic ma
tional committeeman who had
been practicing law before gov
eminent departments resigned at
the request Of the President,
though not all Of them did so.
The senate made several ges-
lures toward political reform at
the last session, but most of them
seemed half-hearted and none of
them we're approved by the
house, where party leadership is
strongest.

Only five years have passed
since then. but Roosevelt's trip
today shows how drastically the
picture has changed.
Now the finest power sites are
in the hands of the government,
are being developed with govern
ment money for distribution, in
many cases. through government
agencies. They will function in a
manner similar to the Tennessee
valley.
The Bonneville dam on the
Columbia river near Portland,
will create a reservoir extending
upstream for forty-four miles. 1t
will produce not only power but
improve navigation.
At Grand Coulee, also on the
Columbia river but in the state
of Washington, Roosevelt will
witness the beginning of a project
which will have the largest
power capacity in the world. 1t
ranks next to Boulder dam in the
size of the dam. but is greater in
the output of power.
It took years of debate to secure
congressional approval TO biuld
Boulder dam. Passage Of the bill
was considered a historic achieve
ment. 1t took even longer to
secure congressional approval for
the development of Muscle Shoals.
But these New Deal projects,
some of them just as big, were
approved through the public
works administration, with no
ballyhoo. in some cases without
the bat Of an eve.
The big power companies woke
up one morning to find their
dream vanished.

talked it over with Fisher and
they agreed that Shillingby must
be killed before he could capitalize
upon his information.
'In any event, it was agreed
that Cathay was to kill Shillingby.
In order to do that, however, he
wanted first to have an alibi as
Cathay. Second, to have it appear
that Shillingby had been killed by
a gangster. Therefore, Cathay,
posing as another gangster, en-
ployed Shillingby to shad W the
most dangerous gangster he could
think of. He picked upon "Cin-
cinnati Red" Lampson.
"Lampson had a gray Cadillac
coupe with a denied left rear
fender. Cathay secured a dupli-
cate of such a car, kept it stored
at a place near Lampson's head
quarters. When Shillingby had
Swallowed Lampson to this neigh
borhood, Cathay drove up to the
curb. Shillingby, recognizing the
man who had employed him, nat
urally was not suspicious. 1t gave
Cathay an opportunity to shoot
him and escape"
"And Decker" asked Blocker,
"the man who was witness?"
"Was an innocent cog in the
murder machine. Of course, Ca
thay needed witness who could
testify to the gray Cadillac coupe.
So he trailed Shillingby, who was
trailing Lampson, until a pedes-
trian was encountered. Then Ca
thay worked his prearranged plan.
He tried to keep his face conceal
ed, but a chance gust of wkind
blew back the brim of his hat and
gave Decker a glimpse of his fea-
lures.
Fisher was to take the name of
Cathay, go to hotel, register,
keep an appointment as Cathay
and cash check. He went to the
hotel, registered and cashed the
check, but before he could keep
the appointment he got playing
around with Stella Mockley. They
had a few drinks and the unex-
pected happened. Fisher was ar
rested. 1t became necessary for
him eventually to assume the
identity of Cathay with the police.
That led to the publication of the
story. Cathay had to make a ges-
ture of suing for libel. He did
not realize what would inevitably
happen. The newspaper would
start checking into his past.
"When that happened the men
were in a panic. And there, gen.
tlemen, is where we must give g
tribute to Morden. Perhaps he
stumbled upon the information.
Perhaps he reasoned it out. l wish
that I knew. I never will know.
