Let it be known first, that DR.. Ben

So Staid old Oxford, not knowing
quite what to do. made it a rule that

Jessica Parkman, New York society
girl on the verge of a nervous break
down from the social whirl, goes to an
island on the Florida coast that she
believes belongs to her. She wants
solitude and rest. She finds campers
at one end of her island and a Keep
Off" sign. She tries to see the J. K
Harper who claims her island. Har-
per dares not tell her who he is but
poses as Mr.. Harper's friend. Fin
ally he tells her Harper has gone since
she gives him permission to stay.
They fall madly in love and are en-
gagged. He has sent for his deed to
his island because he wants to prove
that he is right, knowing she will for
give him then. But after they become
engaged Jessica suddenly learns that
James Robinson is really James Rob-
inson Harper and she is furious.

the other two got launch and gave
chase.
But Sykes had too great a start
they couldn't quite overtake him. His
launch disappeared around the east
side of the island and when they got
there they could find no trace of him.
Nor, in the darkness, could they find
the hidden inlet.
They put in at ledge, however, and
started afoot across the island.
They had no knowledge Of the pres
ence of the Parkmans on the island,
for the bungalow was purposely set
back and hidden. They believed that
the Parkmans mother and daughter,
were living on their yacht. Further
more, they only knew of them by
name. They had never seen them but
occasionally had seen the yacht at the
mainland.
These men knew that Jim Harper
was camping some place out there on
an island. They knew him quite well.
Right at this time they hoped to find
some trace of where all this liquor was
stored. Sykes running in and dis
appearing convinced them that this is
land contained the hiding place.
Meanwhile Jim had been restless
and then came the frightful thought
, suppose Jessica tried to sail away dur
ing the night on her yacht?
Jim promptly went over to the bun
galow.
He got to the edge of the clearing
just as two men were at the door ask
ing who was there.
Jessica came out. Evidently she
had been sitting up late, for she was
fully dressed. This looked suspicious
to the officers.

Nose proceeded to get dinner. He
knew something was wrong and sus-
pected that it was trouble with the
pretty girl.
Dobson appeared again with an en-
velope.
"Wait-therell be an answer" Jim
said as Dobson turned away. But
Dobson never turned back, he kept on
going. He had his orders.
Besides, he knew by the bulkiness
what was in the envelope.
There was no letter in it, only the
ring.
Jim went into his tent and tried to
find solace in a most generous libation
from his silver flask.
It didn't help.
He ate little and paced around on
the beach. Nose had crawled into his
sleeping quarters back of the cook tent
and was not improving the night
sounds by his snoring.
Sykes and his men put out finally
from the inlet with load of the bun
dies. They got it to mainland without
incident, but raiders swooped down on
the landing a few minutes later and
found men there with the contraband
packages. Far off in the distance a
launch was speeding away.
With one man to guard the bundles,

"Where is the liquor stored?" one
of the men demanded sharply.
"How dare you come here? This
is private property. Go at once.
Jessica cried.
One of the men showed a badge
Badge or no badge, go away" she
repeated.
Jim hurried across the clearing.
One of the officers recognized him
"Look here" Jim said, "don't be
stupid. Miss Parkman knows nothing
about any liquor"
"Sorry, Harper, but we can't permit
you to interfere. This young woman
must come to the mainland with u.s.
"Do you mean that I am under ar
rest?" Jessica cried.
"It amounts to that"
Jim pushed forward between the Of
ficers and Jessica.
"Keep away or we will have to take
you for interfering with an officer,
Harper" the man said, angrily.

Text of Roosevelt's Speech
Cites Benefits to Farmer of Il. n. n. Program and
Urges Aid in Spreading Adjustment
Education.

The text Of President Roosevelt's s
address yesterday before the farmers
convened here for the purpose of sup
porting the administrators agricul-
tural adjustment program follows:
I am glad to welcome you to the
National Capital We can think Of
this occasion as kind of surprise
birthday party, for it was Just two
years and two days ago that the agri-
| cultural adjustment act became a law.
And I well remember the fine group
of representatives of farmers from
every part Of the Union who stood
around me on that occasion when
signed the act.
In record time you and thousands Of
other farmers took hold and set up
the machinery to control your own
affairs and put the new law to work.
remember, too, the many high
and mighty people who said you could
not do it-that 1t was no use for you
to try-intimating clearly that their
only remedy to improve your situa-
ton was to let the sheriffs' sales go on.
That was the old and very familiar
way-the high and mighty balanced
farm production with demand. Those
people did not understand and many
of them do not understand today that,
If the farm population Of the United
States suffers and loses its purchasing
power, the people in the cities, of
necessity, suffer with them.
One of the greatest lessons that the
city dwellers have come to understand
in this past two years is this: Empty
pocketbooks on the farm don't turn
factory wheels in the city.
Goes Back to Spring Of '33.
Go back for a minute to the Spring
Of 1933-when there was huge
carry-over of almost 100000 bales
and a price, because of that carry
over, of cents a pound. You and I
know what Scent cotton means to
the purchasing power Of the Cotton
Belt.
There was a huge carry-over of
tobacco and the price of tobacco
during the preceding SIX months was
the lowest on record for many years.
Wheat. with a carry-over Of nearly
400 ,000, 900 bushels, and a price of IS
cents on the farm; corn, with price
Of IS cents a bushel on many farms;
hogs, selling at 3 cents pound.
You and know what that meant
in the way of purchasing power for
100000 people.
When we came to Washington we
were faced with three possible pro-
grams. The first involved price fixing
by Government decree. This was dis
carded because the problem Of over
production was not solved thereby.
The second was plan to let farm
ers grow as much as they wanted to
and to have the Federal Government
then step in, take from them that
portion of their crop which represented
the exportable surplus and, in their
name, on their behalf, dump this
surplus on the other nations of the
world. That plan was discarded be-
cause the other nations Of the world
had already begun to stop dumping.
With increasing frequency they were
Evening star., 1935-05-15

bumper crop one year we will, by
mutual consent, reduce the next years
crop in order to even up that carry
over. At the same time, II we get q
short crop in a given year, you and I
agree to increase the next years
crop to make up the shortage. That
Is exactly what we are doing today in
the case Of wheat.
It Is high time for you and me to
carry, by education, knowledge Of the
fact that not single program Of
the A. A. A. contemplated the destruc-
ton Of an acre Of food crops in the
United States, In spite Of what you
may read or be told by people who
have special axes to grind.
It is high time for you and for me to
make clear that we are not blowing
under cotton this year-that we did
not plow 1t under in 1884 and that
We only plowed some Of 1t under in
1888 because the agricultural adjust
ment act was passed after a huge
crop of cotton was already in the
ground.
1t Is high time for us to repeat on
every occasion that we have not
wastefully destroyed food in any form.
1t is true that the relief administrator
has purchased hundreds of thousands
Of tons Of foodstuffs to feed the needy
and hungry who are on the relief
rolls in every part Of the United States.
Farmers Not Deceived.
The crocodile tears shed by the
professional mourners Of an old and
obsolete order over the slaughter Of
little pigs and other measures to
reduce surplus agricultural invento-
ries deceive very few thinking people
and least Of all the farmers themselves.
The acknowledged destiny Of q pig
Is sausage. or ham. or bacon, or pork.
In these forms millions of pigs were
consumed by vast numbers Of needy
people who otherwise would have had
to do without.
Let me make one other point clear
for the benefit Of the millions In cities
Evening star., 1935-05-15

raising their tariffs, establishing
quotas and clamping on embargoes
against Just that kind Of proposition.
Adjustment Plan Adopted.
Therefore, we came to the third
plan-a plan for the adjustment Of
totals in our major crops SO that from
year to year production and consump-
tion would be kept in reasonable bal
ance with each other, to the end that
reasonable prices would be paid to
farmers for their crops and to the
end that unwieldly surpluSes would
not depress our markets and upset
the balance.
We are now at the beginning Of the
third year Of carrying out this policy.
You know the results thus far at
tanned. You know the price Of cotton.
and of other farm products today.
Further comment on the successful
partial attainment Of our objective up
to this time Is unnecessary on my part.
You know.
I want to emphasize that word
adjustment" As you know. a great
many of the high and mighty-with
special axes to grind-have been de-
liberately trying to mislead people who
know nothing Of farming by misrepre-
senting-no-why use pussyfoot
worldly lying about the kind Of a
farm program under which this
Nation Is operating today.
A few leading citizens have gone
ocfr fy-op nlv,o;
it. For example, the prominent city
banker who was driving through up
State New York with me four or five
years ago in the late Fall. Everything
was brown. The leaves were of the
trees. We passed a beautiful green
field. He asked me what 1t was. I
told him 1t was Winter wheat. He
turned to me and said, THAT is very
interesting. I have always wondered
about Winter wheat. What I don't
understand Is how they are able to
cut it when 1t gets all covered up with
snow"
The other was the editor Of great
metropolitan paper. He visited me
nearly grown but before the bolls had
formed. Looking out over the cotton
fields he said to me:
What a great number Of raspberries
they grow down here"
Raspberries was right. At AZ cents
pound for cotton his mistake was,
perhaps, natural one.
Adjustment Upward.
was speaking Of adjustment. It
is your duty and mine to continue to
educate the people of this country to
the fact that adjustment means not
only adjustment downward but ad-
lustment upward. If you and I agree
on a correct figure for a normal carry
over, it means that If we have .

the Nation suffered q drought Of un-
paralleled intensity. If there had
been no Government program-if the
old order had obtained in 1888 and
1884 that drought on the cattle ranges
Of America and in the corn belt would
have resulted in the marketing Of thin
cattle, immature hogs and the death
of these animals on the range and
on the farm. Then we would have
had a vastly greater shortage than we
face today.
Our program saved the lives Of
millions Of head Of live stock. The,
are still on the range. Other millions
are today canned and ready for this
country to eat.
I think that you and I are agreed
in seeking q continuance Of q national
policy which on the whole is proving
successful. The memory Of old con-
ditions under which the product Of q
whole years work often would not
bring you the cost Of transporting it
to market Is too fresh in your minds
to let you be led astray by the solemn
admonitions and specious lies of those
who in the past proflted most when
your distress was greatest.
Asks Support For Program.
You remember, and remember,
that not so long ago the poor had less
food to eat and less clothes to wear
and that was at a time when you had
to practically give away your products.
Then the surpluses were greater and
yet the poor were poorer than they
are today when you farmers are
getting q reasonable although still an
insufficient price.
I have not the time to talk with
you about many other policies Of your
Government which affect the farm
population of the country. I have not
the time to go into the practical work
of the Farm Credit Administration,
which in all Of its ramifications has
saved a million farms from foreclosure

Warns Against Use of
Vdccines for PdruIusis

copyright 1885, by Science servicel
CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-A warning
to physicians to stop the vaccina-
ton Of children against infantile
paralysis appeared in the Journal
of the American Medical Associa-
ton today
The warning may be read between
the lines of a report of y cases of
infantile paralysis, six of them ia
tai, following vaccination against
the disease. The report is signed
by DR.. j. P. Leake, medical director
of the United States Public Health
Service.
The ~ cases developed following
the use of one or the other of two
vaccines, named in the report only
AS Vaccine A and Vaccine B. Both
vaccines were prepared from in
fantile paralysis virus treated to
make it incapable of causing the
disease, in the opinion of the scien-
lists who made the vaccines.
Twelve cases of the disease fol-
lowing many thousand vaccinations
does not seem at first glance large
percentage, but DR.. Leake says:
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-12-26

Likelihood of the whole series OF
cases having occurred through nat
ural causes is extremely small"
He believes that many physicians
will feel that these cases make "un-
desirable the further use OF
poliomyelitis Gnfantile paralysis
virus for human vaccination at
present.
Although any of these cases
may have been entirely unconnected
with the vaccine, the implication of
the series as whole is clear he
states.
The cases also furnish new evil
dence in support of the theory that
the virus of infantile paralysis trav-
els along the nerves and not in the
blood or lymph streams. In every
one of these cases where the Sc
quence is known, the level of the
spinal cord first affected CORE
spends to the arm or leg where the
vaccine was injected The paraly-
sis began either in the vaccinateo
limb or in the corresponding one on
the other side of the body.

TRENTON, n. j., Dec. 26.
Fear that he may not eS-
cape the electric chair broke
through Bruno Richard
Hauptmann's stolid demeanor
for the first time today, while
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and
his family fled through a
stormy sea toward England to
escape threats of another
crime similar to this.
In brief emotional outburst,
Hauptmann revealed that he had
hoped that interrogation of Col.
Lindbergh by the Court of Pardons,
or a plea to him to consent to
mercy, might save his life. The
hope died when his wife told him
Tuesday that Col Lindbergh, his
wife, Anne, and their 3-year-old
son, Jon, had embarked secretly for
England in the S. S. American I'M
porter.
High Seas Slow Ship
'Why didn't he stay and face 1t
out?" Hauptmann cried Then he
relapsed into a morose silence which
persisted through a lonely Christ
mas Day in his death CELL His single
Christmas present, a photograph of
his 3-year-old son, Manfred, seemed
only to increase his gloom.
The small freight and passenger
ship on which the Lindberghs sailed
Sunday morning threshed through
rain and heavy sea that forced
the family to celebrate Christmas
below decks and may delay their
arrival in England.
Unless subsiding sea permits the
American Importer to increase its
speed it may still be at sea on New
Years Day, although due in Liver
pool Monday.
