He's Free and Easy

DUT Mr.. Roosevelt sits there and turns his smile
ID from wing of the lineup to the other as
questions fly out Of the gathering and answers them
as easily as a traffic cop telling stranger the way
to Walnut street. and heard him stall only once,
and that time question which was pretty bad
ly put
This free and easy way of doing in the press in
tervews seems to be a part of a deal which is
apparent in his public addresses and papers. AS an
orator he has broken away from the Old-tashoned,
Fourth of July school, and when he wishes to pass
few remarks to the press or over the air ne does
not burble about the founding fathers or the stern
and rockbound coast of Maine, and he has yet to
beat his chest and holler anything about the grand
old heritage. He came pretty close to naming names
in his address to the opening of congress- where he
referred to the larcenouS bankers and the kdnapers
in the course of thought, and might have done
So at that but for the risk of melting lynching
1t would amuse you, I think. to note the attitude
of Mr. Roosevelt toward John Boettiger of the Chi
cago Tribune and vice versa, because they became
personal friends when Mr.. BOettiger was covering
Mr.. Roosevelt in Albany, and now Mr.. Boettigers
paper is riding the President and he sometimes has
to ask questions Of very critical intent.
Mr.. Boettiger asks them in straight face as
though he and Mr. Roosevelt were strangers, and
Mr. Roosevelt turns to him very politely and gives
him his answers as though he hadn't the falntest
notion of Mr. Boettigers motive
Mr. Boettiger's head man is Colonel r. r. Nc
Cormck who didn't like Hoover because he spent
too much of the taxpayers money on governmental
frippery, and you imagine how Mr. Roosevelt
stands with man who thought Hoover ex
travagant So Mr.. Boettiger gets his answers and
goes back and writes pieces which do not give Mr..
Roosevelt any the best of it, and the whole proceed
ing reminds of the way used to scuffle with
James Farley in print when he chairman of the
prize fight commission and meet him at the ring
side where it was Hello. James" and Hello Peg"

fine, and yours?'
am afraid I couldn't be trusted around Mr..
Roosevelt For the first time my life in this BUSH
ness might find myself squabbl1ng for a chance to

Some Interesting People

not only because of the fresh gin, but on account
of the interesting people one met.
we were taking Camera on tour through
Europe for publicity" said Charlie Friedman Leon
See and I decided that it would be a good idea to
show him off in the casino at Monte Carlo. We
we're building him up a big shot. OF course we
couldn't let Primo gamble himself The risk was
too great. He might win Leon See said he would
gamble for the troupe You know he's a French
man.
our little party attracted a great deal of atten-
ton as We moved toward a table. Leon is showing
dovagcrS and dukes out of the way. But on the
first spin he bets nothing. He just makes note in
q little book Twice more he does this, and I'm
wondering on the fourth turn he bets eight francs
on the black and it loses. He notes that down and
stays out the next six spins. Then he puts eight
francs on the black again and wins.
That goes in the notebook. and he starts to sit
1t out again. BY now hundreds of people watch
ing the big shot Camera and his manager. What
on earth are YOU doing Leon? I cried. It's Sys-
tenn. he explained. If properly played you win

frontier. after all I suppose the croupers have to
go TO some other place TO play little hearts. I'm

they may cause serious damage TO the human body.
When a doctor preScribeS medicine for you. it
is for you alone, and not for anybody else in the

saved but should be disposed Of soon as possible
after you need them no longer
The doctor usually writes on his prescription. and
the druggist recopieS on the label the directions for
taking the medicine. Therefore, when giving medi-
cine to sick person be sure you know exactly what

Today's Science
BY DAVID DIETZ

ONE of the fascinating chapters in the history Of
~ the present century is the growth Of that
branch of science which has recently been christened
electronics.
The word electron first introduced into the
language by Dr. G. Johnston Stoney in 1891. He
suggested it as for the fundamental electric
charge. 1t was not until the beginning of the pres
ent century that scientists discovered that the funda
mental electric charge carried the funda-
mental particle Of matter. The name, eectron,
then transferred to this particle.
How muchs the discovery Of the electron has
meant to the modern world is told by Charles R.
Underhn, consulting engineer, in Elections at
Work" The book Is published by McGraw-Hill at So
OF course, electrons were at work long before
knew they existed The action Of human
nerves-not yet completely understood-is due to
the behavior of electrons and other electrified
particles of atomic size The human eye, it is now
known, is essentially photoelectric cell.
Eectrons hurled out or boiled out" from the
heated hlament of the vacuum tube are responsible
for the modern miracle Of radio

Questions but No AHSWerS

T USED to run with the crowd to periodical inter-
/ views with British admiral named Blinker Hall
in London, and always when we came out of his
Office we would marvel that could have asked
SO many questions and received SO few square
answers and so little honest information.
BIinker Hall was their chief of naval intelligence.
He posed all-knOwing and mysterious char
acter with eyes in the back of his head but he was
lust a boSS-hy-cop who would have been very dumb
indeed not to have known a thing or two considering
the money he had behind him with which to buy
information and his access to the private CORE
spondenCe of everybody in England. He had a very
insulting nickname for JosephuS Daniels, the secre-
tary of the American navy which he used to toss
into his Sneering remarks about the U. S. A. But
we were down at Whitehall to catch any news we
could and did not call him for this until one after
noon when Hal OF1aherty took this job in his
hands and set him back his heels with some
personal remarks of unexpected nature Mr..
OF1aherty gave Blinker Hall hell, and the old
blinker took it.

The quartet in FL definitely
brings chamber music out of the

puts it on a fesh-a nd-blood basis,

The quartet performed the

climax an evening of superb

the demands for precision of at

.DEARTH SEEKS
BENCH POSITION
Judge ImpeaChed in 1927
Seeks MunCie Circuit
Court Post.

Clarence w. Dearth who, because
Of an exposure Of inJudicial conduct,
carried on by The Times, was i'm
peached by the lower house of the
legislature in 1927, will seek 10 re-
turn to the circuit bench at Muncie.
Although the senate barely failed
to sustain the house impeachment
by a conviction, Judge Dearth was
ousted from the bench at the first
opportunity offered the Delaware
county voters.
Now he has filed with the secre-
tary Of state as a Republican can
didate for the same court.
Judge Dearth was on the bench
when George Dale. then a fiery edi-
tor and now mayor of Muncie, was
sentenced for libel and contempt
He charged that the judge packed
the jury box in liquor cases with
friends of his from the w. c. T. u.
and Anti-Saloon League forces. a
fact later brought out in the i'm
parchment action.
The Dale contempt case became
historic when the Indiana supreme
court sustained Judge Dearth's find
ings that truth is no defense"
When The Times took up the
cudgels against Judge Desrth, he
issued an order from the bench to
hale newSboyS into his courtroom
and conflscate their papers.
"Impeach this MuSSolini of Mum
cie!" was the ringing cry of Rep
resentative John Scott of Lake
county when he got the house to
vote custer Of the judge. Scott
still is a Republican leader, the
district chairman in Lake county.
Judge Dearth was defended in
the senate by leading Democrat
who now is Senator Frederick Van
Nuys.

they could not entrap Him. But
our Saviour knew their hearts and
thoughts, as well as He knew that
other men were conSpiring against
him, and that he would soon be
put to Death.
AS he was teaching them thus,
he sat near the Public Treasury.
where people, as they passed along
the street, were accustomed to
drop money into a box for the
poor; and many rich persons, pass
ing while Jesus sat there, had put
in a great deal IF money. At last
there came a poor Widow, who
dropped in two mites, each half a
farthing in value, and then went
quietly away. Jesus, seeing her do
this as he rose to leave the place,
called his disciples about him, and
said to them that that poor widow
had been more truly charitable
than all the rest who had given
money that day; for the others
were rich and would never miss
what they had given, but she was
very poor, and had given those
two mites which might have
bought her bread to eat.
Let us never forget what the
poor widow did, when we think we
are charitable.

The Pharisees were soon angry
at being taught these things, that
they employed some spies to ask
Our Saviour questions and try to
entrap Him into saying something
which was against the Law. The
Emperor of that country, who was
called Caesar, having commanded
tribute-mOney to be regularly paid
to him by the people, and being
cruel against any one who dis
puted his right to it, these spies
thought they might, perhaps,
induce our Saviour to say it was
an unjust payment, and so to
bring himself under the Emperor'S

to Him and said, Master, you
