Tom TGqqart Drops In

COME of the onconing attendance have broken the
~ trip at French Lick, Ind, that stubborn OASIS
which remained throughout prohibition and the era
of the Ku-Klux the only rational community IN the
state. Little Tom Taggart, the son of the late po~
litical boss, and most Of French Lick, hoped over
to Louisville in his private airplane and hoped back
home again the other day.
AS I remember it, Miss Edna Ferber got IN wrong
and had to rewrite a paragraph of her novel, snow
boat" because in referring to old Tom Taggart ana
the gambling parlor at French Lick she mentioned
them too close together.
wish to avoid any such error with reference 10
little Tom Taggart, who may be sensitive, IKE ms
paw. but I would like to convey an idea that ne Is
the life and spirit of French Lick. The TACT tnaC
games of chance have been discoursed there, is Just
another fact. Maybe they do this WITHOUT MS
knowledge or consent.
There is a considerable gathering of newspaper
talent out of the east in this part OF the country
lust now. and, although the object, of course, is the
DERBY. the BOYS of our set are keeping an ear 10
the wire and an eye to the airplane scneduleS IN
case John Dininger should be caught.
The capture of Dilhnger, or the killing OF him, IS
building up into a big newspaper piece and some OF
the hands who have come out for the morse race
probably will find it was of interest to keep them
lettering around a while Just in case. Dillinger can
command very %flattering newspaper coverage II ne
times his capture or his demise nicely. l do not know
whether that will strike him as an inducement.

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN-

r ATELY you might have read about children IN
IL whom the white blood cells were increasing in
amount SO that death occurred rather promptly
thereafter. The condition is called leukemla,
leukocythemia, and a variety Of other names.
The cause of this strange malady is unknown.
It is so severe a disease that the child usually dles
within one week to two months after it begins. Acute
leukemia occurs most frequently in childhood, al
though it may occur at any age.
Normally human being has about $500 white
blood cells in every cubic millimeter of blood. In
the condition called leukemia the white blood cells
increase very rapidly in amount and may reacn
figures of from 100000 to 100000 white blood c3HS
for every cubic millimeter OF blood.
AS the white blood cells increase, the red blood
cells decrease and the red coloring matter OF the
red blood cells breaks down. Under such condi-
tons death usually follows.
OBVIOUSLY in a condition of this type, the doc
" tor does everything that he possibly can to sls-
tain the body against the attack with the hope that
eventually it will be able to throw of the dis
turbance by the process Of nature which TENDS to-
ward recovery in most disease conditions.
Hence, the chief method Of treating this type OF
disease is to inject blood into the body directly
through a vein. with the hope that the injected
blood will provide the necessary attacking elements
and also with the hope that the new blood supply
will be able to take care Of the needs of the body
which arise because its red blood cells have been
destroyed.
AS you have no doubt noted from reports, these
blood transfusions may be given in considerable
numbers.
COMETIMES the X-ray has been used to control
- the excess activity of the bone marrow in which
the white blood cells are formed.
However, the reactions to scuh treatment some
times are so prominent that il may be necessary to
give repeated blood transfusions before using the x
ray, 50 the patient may be able to withstand the
results of the treatment.
This type Of disease has been known 10 the med
ical profession for a long time. While these cases
may have q morbid interest for many OF us, they
are not new to doctors and they are fully discussed
in most textbooks Of the practice Of medicine.

feeling were indispensable requi-

one better calculated for this Of

making you the depository of my

Then he switched. He was glad
of the chance.
Captain Roy Huckleberry, who
led a Negro regiment On the
western front, is MI. Groves Sec
rotary. The captain spends a
good part of his time back in the
district keeping the congress-
mans political fences in repair.
1t was the quiet work of Cap
tain Huckleberry that helped ac-
count for Mr.. Groves unexpected
victory over the veteran Harry G.
Garfield when the districts of
Mr.. Grove and MIR. Garfield were
merged in 1882.
Representative Garfield, once a
high-ranking Democratic mem
Der of the powerful ways and
means committee, is this year at
tempting a comeback. Mr. Can
field carries around about 100
pounds more avoirdupois than
Representative Grove does. Sit
ting in a committee chair, Mr..
Garfield is more effective than
Representative Grove. But on
the hastings, MI. Grove is better.
Moreover, Captain Huckleberry,
who knows how to talk turkey
with the ward leaders, is back in
the district.
GROVE car claim authorship
" of no important legislation.
The biggest bill he has sponsored
is a bill to spend $125, 100000 on
federal buildings, a measure that
he hopes to attach to the gen.
eral public works bill. He has
"button-holed' nearly every mem
Der of congress, and thinks he
will have a majority supporting
his proposal.

Chamber of Commerce. He owns
two furniture stores, is vice-presi-
dent of a bank, and director Of
a loan association and a security
company, but always turns up
with a big vote from the people

Like most of the other Hoosiers
in congress, Representative Grove
bolted the administration on vet
Grams measures. He stops smiling,
when you try to tWit him about
his veteran votes. He voted
against the economy law, for near
ly all OF the restoration of vet
Grams benefits that have been pro-
posed. He voted to override Presi-
dent Roosevelt's veto of the indie
pendent offices supply bill. And
he has voted trice for the veterans
bonus. Outside of veterans legis-
lation, his record has been 100 per
cent for the Roosevelt program.
His constituents at Lawrence
burg wanted their city declared a
SUPPORT for customs. Mr.. Grove
harassed the treasury department
until it consented. 1t has been
estimated that $50, 000, 1000 in tariff
duties will be collected at Law
~renceburg each year, for the most
part on aged whisky imported by
the Lawrenceburg distilleries for

WASHINGTON, May 5-Eugene 3. Grove is Indianas congressman
with a Rotary Club manner, and a Boy Scout impulse to do a good
turn daily.
A spry, genial, successful, smaItown business man, with a potent
injection of the public service virus, Gene Grove likes people, likes to
move around among people, likes to do things for people.
Gene Grove is 56. He looks to be 40. He moves around with a
springy step, wears a smile which reveals that he enjoys life, is ever
ready with a personal greeting for his fellow men.
Many months ago, old George Dale, fighting mayor of Muncie, Ind,
was in trouble, victim of what Senator Van Mugs later called hand
made" evidence. Under indictment on liquor conspiracy charges, George
came to Washington to tell his story to the "higher-ups" in the justice
department. He wanted the Democrats in congress to move with a
united front to secure a hearing for him,
The Anti-Saloon League was then a thing to be feared in Wash
ington, and the "old heads" notably Arthur Greenwood and Louis
Ludlow. counseled caution. In the end, George had to appeal to rough,
gruf Republican Senator Jim Watson to get a hearing.
That incident is recalled here, because in those troubulouS days,
Gene Grove was the one friend in Washington upon whom George
could always depend. Whenevr Gene would hear that George was in
town, he would scurry down to the hotel, pick up Georges bags, and

than in anger" and to my mind
I had almost said to your better
judgment-it must appear TO
breathe anything but an unkind
or bitter feeling)-you replied to
the note. I wrote another and
that at least was expressive Of
the same sentiments as I ever had
felt and ever should feel towards
you to my dying day. That note
you sent me back by hand
wrapped in a small loose piece Of
paper without even the formality
of an envelope and that note I
wrote after receiving yours. 1t is
poor sport to trif1e on a subject
like this: I knew what your feel

what is best to be done. I go to

give to him then a copy of the
note which if I send any I will
send to Marianne Leigh. I do not
ask your advice; all I ask is
whether you see any reason to
object. I will perhaps inclose it
after reading it, and say whether
you object to its going or not.
With regard to Fanny Dickens
sister,, if she owed a duty to you
she owed a greater one to me
and for this reason because she
knew what Marianne Leigh had

Freud and Christian Ethics

ITO some extent he gave support to familiar and
a neglected Christian ethics. OF faith, hope and
charity, too, he might well have agreed that the
greatest is charity. But he was under compulsion
to point out that from the cradle to the cross not
any one of us is loved as much as he desires. Hate
springs inevitably from Illustration. 1t would not
have been in the least illogical for Sigmund Freud
to have taken up a tambOurine at this point and
undertaken a street corner campaign in favor of love.
Unfortunately, he never got around to it. And to-
day the individual who seeks to go out and preach
fellowship is regarded as a crackpot or a faker.
I will admit that from a Freudian point of view
it is perfectly sound to hate those individuals and
those systems which stand in the way of a common
brotherhood. But I can not escape the feeling that
a good many revOlutionists are inspired more by the
vision of the tumbrils than by the picture of the
triumph of mankind which is to follow.

personal rivalry, stranger OF

ity of being one of the most mo-

can't get together on the selec-
ton of a good investigator.

needs is another Pecora. No SEN

But the committee disagrees On
this point. Apparently the state
department would like to have one
Of its friends do the investigating.

on the job. Although one of the
ablest men in the senate, some Of
his friends remember the DAY

DAILY WASHINGTON
MERRY-GO-ROUND
By DreW Pearson and Robert S. Allen

X-XTASHNGTON, May Without doing much talking about it,
w the President has been working on a plan of social insurance
which will be the most gigantic plan ever attempted by any government.
He wants to insure every man, woman and child in the United
States from the cradle to the grave.
He has been experimenting with some tentative ideas whereby
every American citizen, by paying two cents a week would be protected
in case of accident or old age. The millions of dollars thereby flowing
into the treasury might in time make the government independent of
the big bankers.
The details are not worked out and probably will not be for some
time. But the philosophy behind the plan is simple. 1t is the philoso-
ply that the chief worry Of every individual is SECURITY; that the
average man doesn't crave to get rich; only wants reasonable guarantee
that he can enjoy a home, educate his children and not have to peddle
apples at the age of &c.
Roosevelt, himself born in the lap of luxury, having enjoyed all
his life the protection of coupons to clip has seized upon the problem
of security as the most important thing to be solved in his day.
COOD Doctor Writ may have scared some people about the Red men
~ ace but he has not prevented the crimson-and-gold Embassy of
Soviet Russia from being the most popular in town.

Gene Grove is Indiana's lime
stone congressman. He considers
it his special duty to see that as
much Indiana limestone as pos
sible is used in government build
ings.
Some day, he hopes, seniority
will bring to him the key posi-
ton once held by former Repub-
lican Congressman Elliott-chair-
manship of the committee on
public buildings and grounds.
When Mr.. Elliott was in congress
and the late Will r. Wood was
chairman of the appropriations
committee of the house and for
mer Senator Jim Watson was
Republican leader in the senate,
the limestone interests had their
own way. Representative Grove
also is a member of the immigra-
ton and territories committees.
THE limestone crowd did not
l. at first look kindly upon
Gene Grove, but they now bow to
him, for he was responsible for
the governments use of a good
portion of the stone taken out of
the Bedford quarries in the last
eighteen months. This stone goes
into postofficeS, federal build
ings and government hospitals
erected in all parts of the coun-
try.
The last big contract was for
the Archives building here in
Washington. New England SEN
ators and congressman protested
that this building, which is to
house the governments perma-
nent records, should be made of
enduring granite from the hills of
Vermont. But specifications came
through for select buff limestone
from Indiana, and Harry T. Eas-
ton, sculptor and stone carver from
Representative Groves home
town got the contract to carve all
the decorations. He brought
twenty Bedford carvers with him
to do the work.
Although he is a political climb
er of marked ability, it is not
likely that Gene Grove will ever
be a big man in congress. He has
a strong urge to do bigger and
better things in a legislative way,
but 1t is an urge somewhat mar
ticulate. He has not the fair for
legislative work nor the adroit-
ness, such as, for example, char
a~cterizes Representative Sam
Pettengill.
ID REPRESENTATIVE GROVE is
N the vice-chairman of the
Democratic congressional cam
paign committee. The chairman
is Representative Joe Byrns,
Democratic leader. Mr.. Grove
does practically all of the work.
He is good at campaign organiza-
ton. at raising political war
chests and directing campaign
strategy. For six years, he was a
member of the Democratic state
SSA4tAdA IOA1AA4i4tICC, a P
favorit Of the older Thomas Tag
CART.
Long before the Chicago con-
vention, Mr.. Grove was support
ing the Roosevelt candidacy. He
tried unsuccessfully to get the In
diana Democratic convention in
1882 to bind its delegation to Mr..
Roosevelt.
