Wen Haze to Take 1t

DUT all rgft-minded ladies with a real social
- consciousness will be glad to take the risk rather
than let it be said that society failed in its duty
toward one of its unfortunate members.
1t is just about time that society was checking its
brutal course in the treatment of the normally I'M

which were laid down by Clarence Darrow in the
case of Leopold and Loeb and by the attorneys for
Harry <. ThaW. But for Mr.. DarroW and Mr. Thaw's
attorneys, three young men might have been put to
death in horrible legal mockery of justice and hui

Leopold and Loeb, being spared, there is always a
possibility that their resistance to temptation will
reach par whereat there will be no point in keeping
them confined any longer. Mr.. Thaw was morally i'll

He is legally well at this time If he ever kills or
tortures anybody else that merely will signify re-
lapse and he will have to be treated again. That is
his right as member of society and society can not
afford to deprive any member of his rights It de-
grades society.
Of course Mrs. Stoll deprived of some rights
when she was slugged in a kindly way and handled
with tactful brutality. But that is something that
can not be helped The protection is for the weak
and morally unWeu. More fortunate members of
society have to learn to take it.

FORTUNATELY, in the present case policy Of
Il moderation seems likely to guide the prosecu-
ton Dillingers clauStrophobia was ignored and he
personally held responsible for the death Of
various persons who got in the of his guns when
they were popping off. But Thomas H. Robinson Jr
has documentary proof the records of the state of
Tennessee that he is suffering from an illness which
relieves him of personal responsibility. The Robin
son boy was put away in an asylum for a time one
who could not resist the temptation to commit
crimes This is delicate mental condition, calling
for kind and understanding treatment.
Persons who can but will not resist temptation
come under another classification.
They built up RobinSonS resistance in the insane
asylum and presently let him loose to try again.
Then there came the temptation to beat Mrs
Stoll on the head and hold her a week handling
her brutaly couple of times during that period
The boy fell and it plain that he not bad but

This probably is not a case for prosecution and
punishment but another of those instances in which
the subject deserves scientific treatment and in time
to come another chance. There is no way of telling
whether his resistance to temptation has been re-
stored again except to turn him loose in a few
years. or less, and how he performs under pres

gentlemanineSs and the lady who serves as the
guinea-pig in the experiment may lose her life.

Today's Science
-BY DANID DIETZ

THE latest chapter in mans battle against yellow
fever, dreadful Scourage of the tropics has been
written by a Frenchman DR.. Jean Laigret of the
Pasteur institute of Tnis. 1t is reported from Dakar
French West Africa. that he has successfully inocu
lated 5000 persons against the disease with
made from the brains of mice infected with the
disease
In the ranks Of those who have fought the battle
against yellow fever is group of civilizations great
est heroes
There were Major Walter Reed and his associates
who proved the correctness of the theory of old DR..
Carlos Flnlay that the mosquito was the carrier of
the dread disease There Colonel William G.
GorgaS who stamped yellow fever out of Cuba by
eliminating the breeding places Of the mosquitoes
and then made possible the Panama Canal by re-
peating the performance in the canal zone. There
was Tydeyo Noguchi, the Japanese soldier of med-
cine. who sleeps today in grave in Woodlswn GEM
etery in New York.
TN 1900 the American soldiers in Cuba were dying
Il by the thousands of the yellow jack" as they
called it. II was proving more deadly than the bull
lets Of the Spanish.
on June 25, 1900 Major Reed arrived in Cuba
as head OF a commission to study the yellow fever
problem He had been professor of bacterioogy in
the army medical school, Other members of the
commission included DR.. James Carroll Of the United
States army and DR.. Jesse Lazear and Dr. AriStdes
Agramonte OF Cuba.
Major Reed gave ear to the theory of Dr. Carlos
Finlay. Cuban doctor. DR.. Finley old man
with mutton-chop whiSkers. who had been asserting
for decade that the mosquito caused yellow fever.
DUT the work Of Major Reed and Colonel Georges
ID by no means completed the battle against yellow
fever Stamping out the mosquito the way to
prevent the disease But it offered cure for any
one who contracted the disease 1t offered no pro-
lection 10 any one entering a region where the
stegomia mosquito still existed
And others have carried on the battle. One
was Noguch who spent the last ten years of his life

In 1918 he went TO Guayaqul Ecuador as
member of the Rockefeller Foundation commission

expeditions to South America and in October 1927
sailed for Africa TO compare African yellow fever
with the South American variety. He became i'll in

UNEMPLOYMENT insurance
~ and old age pensions continue
to head the list of security meas
ures likely to receive attention
this winter. Definite dates may
be fixed for putting other meas
ures into effect a little later. On
the other hand, it may be de-
cided to leave health insurance to
private non-prof1t groups and to
leave special protection Of chill
dren to states, forty-flve Of which
now make payments to widowed
mothers who would otherwise be
unable to keep their children to-
gether in their own home.
These are among the questions
still to be decided.
Unemployment insurance is be-
ing studied with a view to includ-
ing in its benefits only those who
are now working. This is the
only basis on which such insur-
ance can be made actuarially
sound, it is indicated. If a nation
wide system should be found most
suitable, it might be established
by means of a federal corporation.
This would eliminate the ne
cessity of ratification by state leg
islatures. If it should be decided to
to let states administer their own
systems, the federal government
might contribute to the overhead
costs.
1t is probable that workers and
employees will be asked to contri-
butte to the insurance fund, on a
basis Of wages and pay rolls. The
group Of mayors which visited
President Roosevelt at Hyde Park
recently urged that an extension
system be adopted to cover men
and women now unemployed.
They urged that even if the fed
eral government bore the entire
cost of such plan, less money
probably would be requirer than

Another Hoover secretary, Wal
ter Newton, was taken care of by
Roosevelt as a favor to the depart
ing President. But Akerson was
out of luck.
HOWEVER, there is a camara-
l. l. derie among White House
secretaries, and Steve Early,
Roosevelt assistant, looked around
for comfortable place for
George. Everything was taken.
There were too many Democrats
and too few jobs.
So Early got some of Akerson's
old news cronies to take the mat
ter up with Henry P. Fletcher,
chairman of the Republican ma
tional committee.
At first Fletcher was favorable.
But two things happened. First,
he discovered that Democratic
administration, through Steve
Early, was trying to dictate who
should work for the G. o. P.
Second, he decided the hiring of
an eX-Hoover secretary would
brand the committee with a def
mite Hoover label, arouse the
wrath of anti-Hoover Republic
ans.
So Akerson remained out in the
cold. In the end, Early had to
brave Democratic wrath by offer
ing his secretarial friend a job on
the veterans appeal board.
Then the appointee decided the
job of passing on veterans COM
penSation was too full of political
dynamite for him. So Akerson
turned it down for post as Sec
rotary to the code authority for
the paper distributing trade.

WORLDS GREATEST AIR ADVENTURE
BvgEA serviee

T ONDON, Oct. 19-Across six

the hot blasts Of deserts and
skirting lofty mountain peaks,
about sixteen planes manned by

will be winging on the greatest
race in aviation's history.

They'll get away tomorrow from

fourth day.

the same race will be flown under
handicap conditions which take
into account the planes relative

A first prize Of $1,000 will go to
the ship which performs best ac-
cording to weight, Widespread,
power and pay load.
THUS there really arc two sep
l. arate races with separate
prizes, though they're run con-
currently. For the main feature
there are no restrictions about
flying at night or refueling in the
air, no time allowances, no limita-
tons on fuel. power or numbers
of crew.
The idea is to get from here to
Australia as quickly as possible,
providing only that all ships must
land for certification at five con-
troll points along the y.
In such a free-for all race, it
may be that the winner will be a
tricky racing ship, impractical for
ordinary commercial flying. That
is why the handicap feature was
added-to reward the craft which
may be a little slower but more
valuable to the aeronautical in
dustry.
American aviation is vitality
concerned in the handicap race as
well as the speed contest because
at least three built
planes, two of them flown by
foreigners, have been entered.
Colonel James Fitzmaurice, who
flew westward across the Atlantic
on the Bremen in 1923, is to pilot
