You need some such perspective
Sitting in at senate committee
hearing
Listening to Boston super-mer-
chant
Whose arch-angelic patience with
the questions
Emanating from hyper-political
centers of crystallized prejudice
Where most successful demonstra-
ton of their innate qualities
Is revealed by their insistent func-
ton of getting reelected
Whose simplifed conceptions of
economic processes
Are muddied by the shallow stir
rings of centipetal impulses
Daylight reaches all our minds
Through some fragments of omnip-
otent vision.
Reason seizes on the garments of
our thinking
By some fraction of omniscient
logic.
Laid side by side
Our differences stand out as monu-
mental.
But laid on the eternal pattern
We are all morons-and blind.

Attorney General Hits

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-Attor

the California state prison at San

is confined, has at least twice too
many occupants

one Of the most depressing sights /

Quentin, where nearly 1000 men were
imprisoned, as an example of serious
overcrowding in the nations peni-
tentiaries.
He said that around $4,000 men now
are in federal institutions and that the
government was considering expan-
sion Of its prison facilities.

Washington, D. c. (ILNs)-The

proved the Costigan- Wagner anti
lynching bill, and authorized Senator
Van Nuys, Of Indiana, to draw up the
report. The measure would provide
severe penalties for lynchers, officers
who fail to exercise due diligence in
protecting persons from them, and
counties where mobs take the law
into their own hands.

that is necessary. Medicine should
not be taken Unfortunately. The
spring tonic, so-called, has no place
in well regulated and functioning
life.
On the other hand, contrary to
this advice, you will see in the next
months advertising numerous
patent" tonics on the market
which call attention to the supposed
fact that the body needs spring
house cleaning as does the home.
Common sense will easily convince
you that a body that has not been
Cleaned" throughout the year will
not function properly. Therefore
there should be some remedial
measure taken long before spring
time if necessary.
Pay no attention to the numer-
Gus testimonials about the mirac-
ulous cures of this or that tonic.
There is no cure-a1l in the field Of
medicine. Be sure to see first that
there is nothing wrong with you
organically. This can only be de-
termined by one who is trained to
do so. If there is no disorder then
you can waste your money buying
"tonics," the chief and most impor-
tant ingredient of which is alcohol.
Turn your mind from the old
custom of taking a spring tonic
and instead substitute a more
healthful and more scientific
regime, namely, a spring health
examination.

Everyone of us cherishes the
hope of some day owning our
own home so, if that eventful
day has arrived for you, see
this beautiful home in Chevy
Chase. Home should be a place
of comfort, convenience and
beauty as far as the purse will
provide and that is exactly
what this house offers. Located
in an exclusive section of Chevy
Chase, it is outstanding in it's
originality of room arrange
ment. Added to it's charm, it
has been furnished in genuine
colonial pieces, some of them
so rare and lovely it is breath
taking. When you enter into
the entrance foyer, you at once
have seen an entirely different
first floor plan, for on one side of
the house is a huge living room
with a low fireplace which is
thanked on both sides by deep
recessed windows, a most un-
usual and pleasing effect. At
the other end of the room there
is delightful arrangement of
French doors opening onto a
terrace porch that gives you a
gorgeous view of natural wood
land surroundings. If you turn
to the left on entering, you
step down two steps into the
lower part of the entrance hall
which leads into one of the
most charming dining rooms I
have ever seen. The kitchen
is most appealing in its decora-
tive scheme of cream and red
with all the newest contrivances
needed for perfect meal prepa'
ration. The bedrooms were
lovely one in blue with
touches of white and has dull
brass colonial lighting fixtures.
Another bedroom had built-in
twin chest of drawers, and still
another had it's own shower
bath, all beautifully tiled. There
is another complete bath access
sible from all of the bedrooms.
When I was there, the very
talented interior decorator had
not quite finished her work,
but if the rest of the house
has the charm of the dining
room, which had been COM
pleted, shall surely drive out
Sunday to see the finished
product for it will be a trip
well worth the while. Of course
years ago we never mentioned
the unromantic cellars, but now
that particular part of the
house is as important as any
other. This one has a recrea-
ton room that is a bit differ
ent. Completed with a built-in
garage, this is an exceptional
good value at $11,250. Drive
out Sunday and see it.
ITO TUCKERMAN ST.
One of those clever and
northumberland small houses
that answers the demand for
the family needing three bed
rooms has just been put in
new-house condition, in fact
the painters were still in the
house when I was there yester-
day. It is built of brick, semi
detached, and has a built-in
garage and a front and back
porch. The living room and
dining room were fair sized
and there was plenty of work
ing space in the kitchen. A
closed-in sleeping porch offers
another room. This house is
perfect from the standpoint of
a real comfortable house. The
price is most reasonable.

FEE OBJECTOR
SHOT TO DEATH

HOMER, Neb, Nov. g. Wp-Leroy
of Denver. Colo. who
objected to paying a service fee when
his car was pulled out of a mudhole,
was shot to death and two other men
were wounded today.
Thompson wounded Alfred Jorgen-
son, filling station owner, and Leo
Wilike, town marshall.
The shooting occurred on Homer's
main street Thompson, after argu-
ing the matter with Jorgenson, start
ed to drive away. Marshal Wilike
leaped on the running board and
Jorgenson followed in his own car,
finally forcing Thompson TO the
curb.
AS Thompson stopped, according
to Wilike, he started shooting, firing
first at Jorgenson and then at Will
ike. Both bullets found their mark,
but as Wilike stumbled to the grouno
