Veterans Manifesting Caution In Obtaining
 Cash Without Study
Postmaster Babin Orders Set-Up in ArmOry Returned to Post Office - Efficient Service Commended;
 Bannigan Explains Interest Confusion

Acting on the assumption that most of the veterans in the city who intended to cash their bonds have already done sJ and that from today on the volume of business will be light, Postmaster Charles A Babin this noon tranferred the stan of clerks from the armory to the civil service headquarters on the second floor of the postofice building. It was estimated that up to noon today, approximately 1000 veterans had applied at the arlnory for redemption of bonds since the opening of temporary quarters there Tuesday morning.
 Checks Mailed
 Eflcient handling of the bonds by the special staff appointed by the postmaster, and the aid extend- ed by members of veterans organi- zations in Identification has made 1t possible for checks to be mailed to nearly all of those who have turned in their bonds. Up to last night 800, checks having an esti- mated value of $4O0,0O0 had been mailed to veterans. Those who brought in bonds today will receive checks tomorrow.
 Keeping Bonds
 Most of the money, presumably will put into immediate circulation as bills are paid, and clothing and other necessities purchased. With today's figures showing only about one-third of the city's eligible vet- erar1s having turned in their bonds for cash, 1t becomes increasingly obvious that an astonishing ma jortty will retain the bonds. Bonds are still being received at the post oftlce and 1t is estimated that sev- erai hundred local veterans have yet to be given their allotments.
 No Confusion
 Police today reported no disorder as . result of the large amount of cash being placed in circulation, ale though in one city court case this morning youth accused of breach of peace was alleged to have been helping a veteran celebrate"
 Explains Interest

today that man might die of the
disease five or even 10 years after
breathing the powdered mineral.
MO one knows how many men
IN contracted the disease, or
how many have died. But it is
estimated that more than 1000
men worked in the tunnel at one
time or another.
Deaths are variously estimated
at 200 to 500. Men who worked
il the tunnel say more than 400
white workers have died. The
Negro fatalities are harder to esti-
mate, because the Negroes were
brought here from the South to
help build the tunnel, and many
went home when they became i'll.

with hundreds of the cases DR..
Hairless has become an authority
on the disease.
When the men, and their Wild
ows, began pressing damage
claims, he was key witness. The
company contended that it used
water to keep down dust, but DR..
Hairless said the men would come
to his office with their clothes
dust-covered and "their eyebrows
and hair as white as if they had
been working in flour mill"
Describing the effects of the dis
ease, he. said it begins with a
general spotting of the lungs, due
to the reactions set up by the
particles of silica dust. These
spots spread and consolidate, and
gradually the lungs becomes filled
with a solid growth.

stages, his eyes protrude and the
muscles on his neck stand out

"Athlete's foot" and cops fiat
feet" are only few of the occupa-
tional foot disorders prevalent these
days, according to DR.. William j.
Stickel, Chicago, dean of the Illi-
nois College of Chiropody and Foot
Surgery.
DR.. Stickel attended sessions of
the first annual meeting of the In
diana Academy of Podiatry at the
SEVERN yesterday.
That our arms of the law should
come to be known as flat feet" is
not founded on legend, said DR..
Stickel, and he should know, for
more than 1000 of "Chicago's finest"
come to his clinic during the year.
An encouraging note was added,
however, when DR.. Stickel pointed
out that policemen may not have to
put up with that nickname much
longer, for the foot disorder pecu-
liar to their occupations gradually is
on the wane, he said.
Contribute to Improvement
Increasing use of squad cars and
motorcycles with less pounding Of
the pavement" and proper fitting of
the feet in broad-toed shoes of
proper length are contributing to an
improved condition, he claimed.
Among foot disorders which may
be found peculiar to persons with
certain occupations are 'chauffeur's
foot" painters foot" walters
foot" military foot" "cyclist' S
foot" and swimmers foot
A chauffeur, he said, eventually
will develop a painful condition at
the ball of the foot and in. the
metatarsal region, the result Of con-
slant pressure on accelerator and
brake pedals. The painter, after
much ladder climbing, will very likely
have an arthritic condition which
may develop into fallen arches.
Walters Are Affected

defeated by Senator King and
left the Senate in 1917. In 1920,
he spent several months advising
Harding on his campaign. Mr..
Harding appointed him to the Su-
preme Court in 1922.
On the court, Justice Suther-
land has established a record in
opposing state legislation to con-
troll business and regulate labor
conditions.
1t was he who wrote the opinion
outlawing the minimum wage.
1t was he who wrote the opinion
making unconstitutional the
child-labor law. 1t was he who,
in the Baltimore Street Railway
case of 1880 ruled that fare fixed
by the state permitting the COM
pany a 614 per cent return was
"conflscatory."
Finally it was Justice Suther-
land who wrote the majority
opinions upsetting Oklahoma's
attempt to control her ice in
dustry, and again checking the
right of a state to use it's taxing
power to promote cooperative
farming.
Justice Sutherland has hypo-
chondriacal tendencies and is
constantly talking about medicine
and his ailments. Two or three
years ago he talked about resign
ing. But like some of his other
anti-New Deal colleagues, Justice
Sutherland now is determined to
stand by as the protector of the
Constitution to the very end.

try doctor, who for q years has
doled out pills and set broken
bones in this village, is fast be-

1t was he who first diagnosed
the mysterious malady that was
snuffing out the lives of the men
engaged in blasting the tunnel.
'Silicosis," he declared, after
examining a number of men who
had come down from the tunnel
to complain of pains in their
lungs.
THE workmen did not know
i what silicosis was,: of course.
For that matter, few doctors in
the district had heard of such a
disease. But DR.. Hairless was sure
of his diagnosis.

ture on the subject as more and
more men kept coming to him.

VX7AsHINGTON, Jan. GOVT
w triolic and bitter have
been some of the debates private
ly staged among the justices of
the Supreme Court these days,
but during them one man at least
always remains calm.
He is George Sutherland, slen-
der, gray-bearded, scholarly, 81
lent.
Justice Sutherland has a most
agreeable manner. He is mild
and charming During the pri-
vate debates he is always calm
and even-tempered. He does not
get irritated as does Justice But
Ter; he does not sulk as does JUS
time McReynolds. But to try to
change Justice Sutherland's set
conviction on any economic sub
ject is like baying at the moon.
Justice Sutherland is "a. And
his law, his economic reasoning,
are as old or older than he.
He spent most of his life in an
age that is no more-an age of
fenceless prairies, free land, and
limitless natural resources.
Born in England, Justice Suth-
erland's parents brought him to
Utah, where he became budding
young lawyer, aligned himself
with the Mormon Republican ma
chine and in 1901 was elected to
Congress, later to the Senate.
