Supreme Court Orders
Process Tax Return

UNFAIRLY overruling the govern
~ ment's petition for rehearing of
the Louisiana rice millers' cases, in
volving the refund Of some 200 million
dollars in processing taxes held in es-
crow, the United States Supreme court
issued its mandate ordering the return
of the funds to the taxpayers.
The court also issued its mandate
in the Hoosac mills cases, In which the
Agricultural Adjustment act was held
unconstitutional and thereby closed
the door to petitions for rehearing
in that case In a third action the
court ordered arguments on February
4 on the New Deals motion to dis
miss suit brought by the state of
Georgia to test the constitutionality Of
the Bankhead compulsory cotton con-
troll act.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Boston's ia

of the late justice of the same name,
was born August 30. 1909, and, it seems
that when born, he was treated as but
a mere trifing incident by his own

his father put an asterisk* and at the

THE person to ask whether the
Il 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
covered 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,

Police Praised for Prompt
Response to Call for Help

To the Editor Of The Star:
There have been, in the last three
years, numerous housebreakings, cases
of petty thievery and even one case dan
gerously close to murder in the alley in
back of our house. AS consequence, we
have been on the alert to accomplish
anything possible to secure the arrest
of the troublemakerS.
On Monday, June q, suspicious noise
in the alley awakened us. When the
noise continued we called the police.
The result of our telephone call to the
police was the capture of the pony which
was given such widespread publicity on
the following day. I suppose there has
been some laughter at the expense of
the Police Department in connection
with this capture"
We who have had our house broken
into, our car stripped, our valuables
taken from our home by thieves, our
milkman brutally beaten. cannot join in
anything but praise for those policemen
who arrived in the alley within four
minutes of the time our telephone call
was made, and whose presence was
absolutely unknown until the source of
the noise was entirely surrounded. and
a concert of flashlights played upon the
intruder. The efficiency and speed dis
played by the police will provide more
security to us with the knowledge it has
given us of what will be done when we
again request their services.

Swimming for Girls as
Important As for BOYS
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
am addressing you relative to the
commendable work you are doing each
year for the men and boys of this city
in sponsoring swimming lessons for them.
There is no question but that the les
sons the boys receive during this course
are instrumental in saving many lives
each season. However, 1 have been in
tereSted to know why the age limit is
not set at z or 8 years instead of 13
years, as it would appear that q child
would learn more rapidly at the younger
age and his life would then be protected
at the age when he is most daring and
when his judgment is not so good as it
might be when he is older.
Also. have been interested to know
why the apparent partiality to boys. Is
it because there are no facilities for
giving girls such instructions. or is 1t
because the lives Of girls are considered
of less importance to q community. Has
it ever occurred to you that If our daugh-
tiers were given the opportunity to learn
to swim there would be less need for your
sons to jeopardize their lives by at
tempting rescues.
am the mother of four daughters
ages from 6 to IA, none of whom have
had an opportunity to learn to swim, but
all of whom enjoy the water. Inasmuch
as my home is within walking distance of
q municipal swimming pool and am
obliged to work down town during the
day, you can imagine my anxiety during
the Summer months. knowing what a
temptation the pool holds for the
children.

Politicians are wondering whether
President Roosevelt. amid the stimulat-

respects TO that antagonistic element

be known as "Jefiersonian Democrats ~
AS his speech Of acceptance indicates,
F. D. r. has apparently adopted the
motif of the American Revolution as the
keynote Of his campaign for reelection.
So it would be natural for him to invoke
the shade of the author of the Declara-

opposition which the New Deal faces at
Democratic hands and turning the tables
on it. AS two of the country's pre-emi-
