would be silly to reveal what we know
now. As soon as we're ready, how

the case that will be really sensa-

it's just a matter Of time before we
get the break we're waiting for"

Canada and thence to Italy, where he
served in the Papal Zouaves in Rome.
For months nothing was known con-
corning his hiding place. But in the
Autumn of 1866 it was reported he
might be found at the Vatican bar
racks. Cautious preparations were
effected for his seizure, but at the
last moment he fled to the British
embassy. There he insisted that he
was a Canadian by birth, and help
was given him to reach a vessel SAIL
ing for Egypt. The effort, however,
was vain. Like insult. he was arrested
at sea. The fugitive was brought back
in gtlnboat whose commander had
orders not to stop at any wayside
port. His trial in the District
Supreme Court lasted from June 10
to August 10, 1867. but the jury dis
agreed. He was released June %,
1868. Public feeling abated, and he
was not tried again.
But the notorious William Marcy
(Boss) Tweed was less fortunate. A
Tammany chieftain, he arranged his
appointment as commissioner of pub
lie works in New York City in 1870
and systematically used his position to
loot the public treasury. Newspapers
finally broke his stranglehold on the
metropolis. He was brought to trial
in 1874 on charges of embezzlement,
convicted and sentenced to serve IL
years in prison. But in December,
1875, he managed to get away to
Europe. His freedom was shortlived.
He was captured in Spain, and the
Government sent the U. S. S. Frank
lin to bring him back. He died be-
hind the bars. April II, 1873
Has insult been thinking Of any of
these fellow-travelers of time long
past, men who. like himself, have
voyaged the seas under the shadow

The century old cathedral, before

terror. The old seminary building
nearby, in which the priests of the
diocese studied in the years between
1880 and 1849, likewise has been re-
stored. as also has the little chapel
formerly connected with st. Gabriel's
Convent.

Operating Revenues Fall.
McCulloch said operating revenues
Of the Middle West subsidiary COM
panies throughout the country totaled
s63,526,415 last year, decrease Of
s5,582,754 from 1882. A substantial
part of the drop in revenues was off,
set, however, by trimming controllable
operating expenses, exclusive Of pro-
vision for retirement, to s35 ,297,5 in
1888, figure $2.479,624 less than in
1882.
Following the policy Of increasing

The Gin Doesn't Cool You

CONDITIONS are heart-rending in the gambling
" houses at Saratoga, too. People who used to
think nothing of losing $4,000 in a night, punt
ing along hundred dollars these days. There
is need to afflct you with the details because,
after ALL you people out there do have certain
troubles of your own. 1t is pretty tough to go to
all the trouble of raising chicken COW for the
market and in the end, come up with profit of
nickel or so cents as the may be, or with
net loss But it is picnic to go into restaurant
and see chicken sandwiches quoted at 81 each.
chicken salad at $780, and steaks at from $25 to $4
Again, which would you rather do, buy or sell?
don't suppose that in your concern over the heat
out there you have paused to think how hot
it is in these New York sidewalk cafes these days.
You find yourself dead beat after a few hours in
town and sit down under Colored umbrella for
a Tom Collins or a gin flzz which costs as much as
you make ten chickens your total revenue from
five dozen eggs Tom ColnseS and gin fixes are
supposed to cool you off but the you drink the
hotter you feel And after you have spent the profits
from whole flock of chickens or four eating COWS
you like to melt away.
Do the farmers know that j. P Morgan who was
so poor that he did not have to pay any income tax
that time recently went over to Europe III his own
boat, giving needed employment to a Of sailors?
He could have crossed in public boat for $85 or
might have stayed at home.

Of fortitude in hard circumstances and for heavens
sake, buck up.

see what NRA will do with these
cases. 1t is angry about the
Hartman Mill, permitted by
Deputy Administrator Clancy to
reopen in violation of promises
made to the workers by General
Hugh Johnson. A long list OF
other grievances rankle.
It also is waiting for new rulings
on the issue of majority rule in
collective bargaining. To the
American Federation of Labor it
is important in its fight against
company unions that in any plant
where it polls a majority of the
workers it be allowed to make
wage and hour agreements for all.
Neither the recovery act nor
the new labor act pass on this
question. The old labor board
upheld majority rule. Its chair
man, Senator Wagner, said he
thought it impractical to have
several groups of workers in the
same plant making separate
agreements and perhaps securing
different wage and hour sched-
ules.
President Roosevelt later said
he believed minorities should be
allowed to speak for themselves If
they wished. The new labor rela-
tions board will rule on a Buffalo
case involving this point soon.

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN--

PNEUMONIA still is one of the most serious of
Il the diseases that af1ict human beings Course
Of the disease usually is rapid that the prospects
Of recovery always grave.
1t is generally known that this disease is
caused by infection with germ which occurs in
several special types.
Number of deaths from pneumonia varies with
the country social environment, age general phyS1
cal condition of those affected, and many similar
factors. AS example of the seriousness of pneu-
mona, the death rates vary from so per cent in
personal practice, to IL per cent for the general
population
Death rate in the practice of a famous consulting
physician would naturally be very high, because
such always called in the most serious cases.
Mortality from pneumonia in Bellevue hospital in
New York, which takes care of the poor areas Of
the city, is reported around IS per cent
MEATH rates in this disease are much higher in
- the very young and in the very old than they
are in middle age The mortality rate of pneumonia
in persons 10 years old is around 70 per cent.
1t is also well established that alcoholism, over
weight diabetes kidney disease, and recent surgical
operations likely to influence unfavorably in
cases of pneumonia.
When a person is sick with pneumonia, certain
symptoms are indications of a serious condition.
Blueness of the skin low blood pressure and sud-
denly falling temperature, with a rapid pulse and
rapid breathing, very bad signs moist tongue,
ability to sleep, and to take food are good signs.
ONE of the most serious complications in pneu-
" monia is a collection of infectious material in
the chest cavity between the lung and the chest wall
This nterferes greatly with breathing produces con-
siderable pain, and may result in general infection.
The doctor determines the presence Of such in
lection by the use Of the Xray and also by inserting
a needle into the chest wall TO permit the infectious
material to pass through the needle and thus lndl-
cate its presence
Lean persons have better chance of recovery
from pneumonia than stout ones. Temperate people
are more likely to recover than the incorporate.

For perhaps the first time in
Harvard history, the Crimson
cried its wares from page one. On
Sept. 29 1903, the first issue of
the paper came forth under
Frank" Roosevelt. 1t carried a
we'll laid out advertisement, run
ming three-fourths of a column.

Crimson, the University Daily, So"

type. In smaller type, the page
one ad continued
The Crimson contains reports
of all Harvard activities and full
Geographic news from all teams
when absent from Cambridge.
Half-tone pictures Of the univer-
sity and visiting teams appear
from time to time. 1t is indis-
pensable to the student by rea-
son of its official notices from
members Of the faculty, student
organizations, and all the univer-
sity and class athletic teams"
One thing was certain. This
was case of truth in advertising"
These we're the things the Grim
son did contain and nothing much
in the way of editorials or crusad-
ing. Frank" Roosevelt of the
Crimson showed none of the So
cial spirit of Franklin Roosevelt
of the New Deal.
But he was a good business
man.
THAT first issue of the Grim
Il son, under his presidency,
contained more paid ads than any
of its predecessors. There were
nothing but ads on page two and
they ran all over the top three
quarters of page three. All sue
ceeding pages ran from full page
advertisements to tWo-thirdS,
three-quarters or one-half.
Next day was the same, except
that the papers own ad on page
one was extended to a full
column.
It was fall and the Crimson
was in its harvest season. Dealers
were using illustrations of chairs,
desks, bookcases and other equip
ment for the students rooms.
These things took space and
President Roosevelt had it for
sale.

But advertising depends upon
circulation and the new regime
went after that also. On Oct. 2,
a supplement was published con-
sisting of full page poem. 1t
was titled Mater Fortissima" and
had been written by Dean L. B. R.
Briggs, who had graduated with
the class of 1875. The Dean had
read the poem at a meeting of
Phi Beta Kappa on June 25.
The Crimson "blurbed" its plan
to publish it as supplement.
1t was a ponderous piece with
the closing stanza ringing forth as
follows:
God be thy guide as onward still thou
Still breathe upon they sons the hero's
And still as high and higher yet thou
Fear nothing; BE thou faithful unto
NEXT circulation building
IN feat was publication of the
entire roster of Harvard freshmen.
These we're the boys the Crimson
was trying to sell subscriptions.
There were whole pages of names.
One of the first half tones, talked
about in the advertisement, was
published on page one. 1t was a
picture of the university tennis
team.
A lively ad also appeared in
this issue of Oct. 6, 1908. 1t was
about book written by Herman
Lee Meader of the class of 1899
and Never Intended for Publ
cation"
The book had pre-prohibition
title. 1t was called Reflections
of the Morning After"
To convey some idea of what it
was all about was an artists
sketch of a panlike figure re-
Ginning beneath a tree, amid
broken jugs and bottles, while the
academic owl with feathers ruff1ed,
winked knowingly from one of the
tree branches.
That the ad proved successful
in making sales for the book was
indicated by the fact that it APP
peared many times thereafter.

However, labor is waiting, with
