Preparations

THE person to ask whether the
preparation you or your family
are taking for the relief of headaches
is SAFE to use regularly is your
family doctor. Ask him particularly
about Genuine BAYER ASPIRIN.
He will tell you that before the
discovery of Bayer Aspirin most
pain" remedies were advised
against by physicians as bad for the
stomach and, often, for the heart.
Which is food for thought if you
seek quick, safe relief.
Scientists rate Bayer Aspirin
among the fastest methods yet dis
copered for the relief of headaches
and the pains of rheumatism, neu-
ritis and neuralgia. And the expert
ence of millions of users has proved
it safe for the average person to use
regularly. In your OUn interest re-
member this.
You can get Genuine Bayer
Aspirin at any drug store - simply
by asking for it by its full name,

point to do this - and see that you

A Lincoln?

"A AAIISOll1
THIS is place name taken
4 from the town of Lincoln, in
Lincolnshire, England. The name
is derived from the word lin, found
in Gaelic, Welsh and Cornish-Brit-
ish, which means a pool, pond or
lake. and coin, which signifies a
ridge or neck of land, so called
from the situation. The town of
Lincoln was located on the top and
side of steep hill. So evidently
the name came from the asSOcia-
tion of the two places, "the hill by
the lake"
This was the beginning of the
name, but the family is found later
to have been seated for many gen.
erations in the town of bingham,
County Norfolk, England. 1t is
from the Norfolkshire Lincolns that
the American Lincolns trace de-
scent.
Thomas Lincoln came to America
from bingham, England, in 1888,
and was followed in 1857 by his
brother Samuel. They settled in
bingham, Mass, named for the
town in their mother country. Sam
uel married Martha-and among
their ten children was Samuel.
through whom come the governors
Of Massachusetts, Levi Lincoln, fa-
ther and son, and Enoch Lincoln,
who became the governor of Maine.
The fourth son of Samuel was
Mordecai, who married Sarah Jones.
They located in Scituate, Mass. and
among their five children were Nor
decai, Jr., and Abraham. who
moved to Monmouth county, New
Jersey. Their son, John, located
in Virginia. where he married -
Moore. They had four sons and

SHATTERED TRADITION

ONCE the first unshaven Phoenician forced
- his unwilling galley slaves to take rickety
ship out into the perils Of the Mediterranean,
the sea has had long and inhexible tradition,
the gist Of which is that the captain is always
right and that there is no greater crime than
dlsobedience.
This tradition has endured through all the
great changes that have come upon travel by
sea The galleys Of long ago gave way to square
sail, and this in turn gave way to steam and
oil, but the rule that the captain Is boss and
that the man who rebels must get it in the
neck is still unbroken.
Except. it seems, beneath the Russian flag
great many things have been turned up
side down under Communism; but the most
amazing change Of all, in some way. is one
which seems to have been made in the ira
dition OF the sea. recent criminal trial in
Moscow sheds surprising light on it.
Last May a Soviet steamer was towing an
oil tanker acrossehe Caspian Sea. There was
a sudden explosion aboard the tanker followed
by a fire. and the captain of the steamer which
was doing the towing decided to save his own
ship at any cost. So he ordered the tow line
cut, and steamed away to safety.
Ships have been commanded by towards
before this. and the action Of the Soviet court
IN ordering this skipper shot for general pol
troonery is not exactly unprecedented. What
is decidedly unusual is the disposal Of the crew.
For the sailors on this steamer were all or
dered to Jail, on the ground that they should
have mutinied when their captain ordered
them to steam away. The Russian court held
that traditions" about the infallibility Of
shippers are nonsenSical.
The courts idea seems to have been that
common seaman knows right from wrong just
as we'll as a captain does and that nothing in
the way of discipline should keep him from
acting on tina. knowledge.
So here, at last, we get the first definite
break with the seas oldest tradition. Sailors
innumerable have been punished for mutiny,
in all ages. They have been hanged from the
yardarm, they have been flogged to death in
open boats, they have been keel-hauled be-
meath the ship until death by drowning came
to relieve their sufferings-an for questioning
or quarterback
Here is something new; an affirmation not
merely Of the sailors right to mutiny, but of
his actual duty to do so. For the first time
mutiny. Could there be more amazing break
with the most ancient and inhexible rule Of
the sea?

WE WON'T FIGHT FOR OIL

TT is hardly surprising to learn that the
Standard Oil interests have withdrawn from
the Ethiopian oil concession. Public opinion
in the United States was so obviously and out
spokenly unfavorable that the venture would
have enjoyed little support at home; and it
swiftly became evident that the temper of the
people was unanimously against even the
shadow of government backing for the project
The public reaction was pretty we'll eXempli-
fed in the remark of an intelligent printer
Well" said this man. I'VE fought the last war
for j. P Morgan. and it looks as if we'll fight
the next one for Rockefeller"
When people are talking like that, they are
not in the mood to be cajoled into taking up
arms for the sanctty Of oil concessions. This
concession had short life, and none will la
ment Its passing.

PRESIDENT SEEKING TO
BUILD GREAT NATION
By J. K


Today I read in a certain news
paper an editorial, part Of which I
quote:
mo secret has been made that
the President and his advisers have
in mind the adoption Of some re-
forms plainly not in accordance
with the plan Of government rati-
fed by our ancestors nearly $50
years ago. If they want to break
away from tested policies and try
something else, they are at liberty
to do so. They should, however, not
act as blind partisans. They should
give their Endorsement or oppoSi-
ton to any proposed changes as
loyal American citizens seeking the
betterment of the republic"
1t seems to me that the writer Of
that editorial forgot very quickly
that the policies were tested and
acted for the betterment Of the re-
public 148 years ago. Are the Ne
groes still slaves? Are we still in
the horse-and-buggy days?
will quote one of the makers of
the Constitution, Thomas Jefferson:
Il knew the men Of the preceding
age. I belonged to it. 1t deserved its
country, but was without the ex-
perience Of the present; and 40 years
Of experience in government is worth
a century of good reading, and this

they to rise from the dead. AS new

worse things II this conflict during coming
weeks and months to involve us emotionally
ard then financially and politically. No
American Army and Navy can protect us

BELIEVES DIGNITY, RESPECT
OF FLAG NEEDED

BY Mrs. j. w. B.
AS reader of The Times, I want
to express my thanks to the writer
OF the article in your paper, in re-
gard to the lack of respect for our
American flag during the parade of
the Legion while in our city.
How can any one be so indiffer-
ent and disrespectful to this pre-
cious heritage and what it cost to
gain? Think of the freedom we
enjoy under its protecting folds. So
I say, too-"Three cheers for the
red, white and blue"
One man was treated to a severe
chastisement during the Labor Day
parade in Gary, when seen by an
other to spit upon this sacred ban
ner. demonstrating with him for
this beastly act, blows followed,
which resulted in a fractured skull
and confinement in the hospital for
the offender.
Let the fire of patriotism con-
tinually burn on the altar of our
hearts. to remind us that we will
ever honor and support our nation s
flag.
