UT he CLOSED up" New Orleans as a campaign
- move to put Mr. Walmsley in wrong and now
he is proceeding to hold a Seabury investigation,
which will inquire what became of the graft which
is always paid by prostitution and gambling But
there is no power in the state except the federal
grand jury which can inquire into the graft received
from prostitution and gambling in his parishes or
graft exacted from paving and building contractors
and his political treasurer keeps no accounts at ALL
He lives like king and mansion although
his present job of United States SENATOR at $4,000
year, is the best he ever held
The mayor, though not unpopular is simply no
leader and there is no leader on the opposition side
There are few decent men, but they do not lead
One of them is Mason Spencer Of Taulah a men,
Der OF the legislature. He is planter. He is big
independent and fighter, but too lazy or too dis
gusted to take command Mr. Spencer is a sOphisti-
Gated man, friend of Irwin Cobb who sometimes
hunts with him. and Of the few men in the state
who might lick Huey if he would take the trouble
Norman Bauer is another His speeches in the
legislature the only intelligent remarks heard
in the recent special session. He dealt with the
issues and fought hard, but realized that to argue
with his colleagues against their graft was a good
deal like trying to appeal to the better nature of
highway robber.
George Perrault also suffers from decency and
was so unpopular on the closing night of the special
session that he carried gun in his clothes and was
prepared to shoot his way out if the dctators secret
policemen, who sWarmed through the legislative
halls, made false move.

He Can Out-Think Them

TIER KINGF1SH being native OF LOUISIANA ana
~ the Smartest man in the state, knows the low
quality of politicians on the opposing side. He has
demonstrated time and again that he can out-think
his opponents and out-vilify them in the amazingly
He calls people fighting names, including the fight
INCEST name of all, and instead of taking the mat
ter up in the manner which is POLITICALLY supposed
to be the tradition of this part of the world they
only try to think of drtier to call him. This
is impossible however, because when dirter names
called Huey Long will call them.
The mayor of New Orleans T. Semmes Walmsley,
is doubly unfortunate in that he is first of all no
leader and in addition to that dude Mr. Wams-
ley is a member of the local aristocracy He played
football at Tulane, the regional Princeton Harv-
ard, he lives in nice part of town and his manners
against him in any contest with Huey Long for
the approval of the rabble. Mr. Walmsley would not
wipe his knife on his bread or fan soup with his
hat, but witnesses will that Huey reached out,
grabbed fstful of broiled rice and stuffed it into
of the state university
Mr.. Wamsey is a pathetic figure in this fight
He is the mayor Of town which always has been
wide cpen' and Huey has put him in the false po-
Sition of defending prostitution and gambling That
isn't the at all New Orleans in the matter of
prostitution and gambling is more like a Central
American banana port than an American city. Pub
lie opinion always has tolerated these little conven-
fences and Huey tolerated them for years himself.
In fact he still toerates them in two parishes or
counties adjoining New Orleans in which his dc

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN :

MOTIVES for adopting babies usually are highly
4EA idealistic and excellent but in some instances
OF course, other motives may supervene.
Cases are actually known in which women have
adopted babies with the idea of passing them off
as their own to obtain inhertances In other cases,
children have been adopted with view to training
them into illegal occupations.
For this reason, every agency which has children
for adoption, if it is modern agency and properly
conducted looks very carefully into the kind OF per-
sons who want to adopt children
1t is also. of course, the duty Of the agency to
make certain that the child given for adoption is
suitable in every way possible Definite Investigations
must be undertaken before the child is turned over
to its new parents.
COME conditions of the nervous system are be-
- lieved to be transferable to some extent to the
child. Among these are forms of idiocy mental
deficiency, epilepsy and alcoholism.
There are also common laboratory tests for We
nereal disorders which should be made not only Of
the child, but, if possible, also of the parents.
Dr. r. L. jenkins also recommends a study of the
behavior Of the child as to its aggressiveness or TIM
dity, its socabiy excluslveness its adaptabity,
emotional stability and response to discipline.
If possible, it is we'll also to have the child that
is be adopted looked over by specialist in psy-
chclogy or physician familiar with mental studies
to make certain that it is of normal intelligence.
A UTHORITIES in this field are inclined to advise
IA a probationary period of perhaps a year
in each instance TO make certain that every
thing is satisfactory before the adoption is legally
completed
Such period gives opportunity for study of the
situation in the home and the extent to which the
child can be adapted suitably to life in the home
In other words the placement Of a child for adop-
ton is highly individual matter and hardly be
successfully handled routine basis. 1t is neces-
sary to adapt every child individually to its sur
roundngs.

nous organs on the end. Each fish
looked as though it had an electric
light hung above its nose on a
little step. These lights, likewise,
exhibited all the colors of the
rainbow.
Huge creatures often were seen,
only darkly, great gray masses
which could not be identified
clearly. But now and then a great
cuttlefish came by, its gray
envelope and waving tentacles
marked with luminous spots.
Great Holsters and prawnS were
encountered, their legs and sides
and claws marked with luminous
spots.
Laboratory examination of
some of these creatures caught
with dredge nets has revealed that
these luminous spots are often
very complicated organs, equipped
with lenses on the order of those
found in the eye. Structures
which act as reflectors are often
found behind the luminous tissue.
The exact nature of the electric
al or chemical processes which
make these spots luminous is not
vet understood.

In the lower depths, the strange
subterranean creatures which ma
ture has created for this environ
ment were encountered. These fish
are fashioned to Withstand the
tremendous pressure of the depths.
Brought to the surface, their blood
pressure causes them to explode.

TN these lower depths, DR.. Bebee
l. has said, the water has the
blackness of night.
Here were the Strangest crea-
lures of all, huge fish with great
gaping mouths and sharp, spiny
teeth. Along the sides Of these fish
we're rows of spots that reminded
one of the portfolios of a ship at
night.
But instead Of shining all with
white light, they we're many colors.
Some of the luminous spots were
green, others violet, still others
blue, crimson or ruby-red.
Other fish had stalks growing
out of their noses with large lumi-

known supplies available run INTO
the trillions of million cubic feet.
In 1880, the country used 1872
OOO,O00,000 cubic feet of natural
gas. an increase Of $50 per cent
from 1919. Eighty per cent of it
was used in industry, 20 per cent
in homes. In both fields the use
has increased greatly in the last
four years.
II EGULATION Of gas rates has
N become an interstate prob
lem even more recently than reg
ulation of electric rates. In 1928
the first long distance gas pipe
line was laid. Now every eastern
state, except in New England and
the Carolinas, is traversed by pipe
lines. A 900-mile line connects
Texas fields with Chicago.
One of the most important facts
disclosed by William T. Chant
land, attorney for the trade COM
mission, in preliminary inquiries
into the great new utility has
been the concentration of control
over it. Four large companies
now control most of the known
supplies and most of the network
of pipe lines transporting it to
markets.
The four are Standard Oil of
New Jersey, Columbia Gas and
Electric Company, Electric Bond
and Share, and the Cities Service
group of companies.
The commission now wants to
know what effect this joint con-
troll of electricity and gas has had
on preventing competition between
the two services
State utility commissioners have
suspected for some time that gas
rates are high because holding
companies in control wanted the
public encouraged to use cleo
tricity instead. Though forty-three
states have provided for gas regu-
lation little progress has been
made in drawing a fair rate
schedule, partly because of rapid
development of the industry and
partly because the courts have de-
MED until recently the right Of
commissions to inquire into the
fairness of charges paid by local
distributing companies to parent
corporations for gas delivered
across state lines.

Gradually the blue twilight
grows deeper and deeper. Final
ly it fades into perpetual dark
ness.
The quiet descent in the bathy-
sphere nevertheless is an exciting
one. DR.. Beebe has told how, on
their first descent, a tiny trickle
of water came in through the
bathySphere door. All the way
down, they turned their attention
again and again to that trickle, 1t
did not, however, increase.

through the portfolio of the

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 22.-The unfortunate

any time by jobs TO their sisters and their
cousins and their auntS.
Men put themselves forth as candidates for the
legislature and other public offices without the faint

thought of collecting the pay of $40 day which the
job affords and such other money as they may be-
