Two Appeal Convictions
Under Food and Drugs Act

Washington, D. c. (ILNs) -Malloy
H. Taylor, Jr., drug advertising ex-
pert, and Curtis j. Hazlerigs,
Georgia pharmacist, have asked the
supreme court to set aside their con-
yiction on charges growing out of an
alleged attempt to cash in on public
ity given Warm Springs, Ga.
They We're convicted of violating the
pure food and drugs act by shipping
Glauber's Salts under the label
Warm Springs Crystal Compound"
They were sentenced to year and
day in Atlanta penitentiary.
In their appeal, it was asserted
that there was no attempt to mislead
purchasers into belief that the prod
uct actually came from the waters
of Warm Springs.

PRISON PROBE
Is New York Demand

Albany (ILNS) Demanding a
legislative investigation of police
brutality and calling for more con-
vict work on highways, the Prison
Association Of New York made its
Ininety-frst annual report to the legis-
lature. One of its strongest recon-
mendations was that the stone cells
of Sing Sing, which have been de
nounced as unhealthy and mind
wrecking for years, should be abol-
ished, and that the work of replacing
them with modern structures be un-
dertaken at fixed date in the near
future
Highway labor by convicts, the re-
port says, ''is universally approved
by prison administrators" The as
sociation thinks that this competition
with free labor is negligible"
! The association wants the legis-
lature to appoint special commit
tee to investigate reports of the
third degree" as practiced by police.
1t demands as first step that the
proposal that prisoners when ar
rested be brought Immediately before
magistrate" should be put in prac-
tice at once.
The state commission of correc-
ton joins in the plea that the Sing
Sing cell block, now 10 years old,
damp, insanitary and vermin-breed-
ing, should be marked for destruction
forthwith.

Another trouble is-those badges
have lost their original meaning
Party banners do not always indi-

Some old battler with an heirloom

But it is pretty safe to conclude why

But democracy is a fighting reli-

It's tendency is to come out in the

Democracy has way of forgetting

fusing issues by using big words

Government ownership of railroads
was communism then
Pretty soon you will hear it propos-

The democrats have always beer
fighting about money
Mostly with the bankers, who rep
resented the autocrats
They have refused to be supersti-
tious about gold
Even the marble columns in bank
buildings did not make them holy
Mortgages were only technique
for getting their farms away from
them
Political parties turned out to be
just a set Of masks for the corpora
tions--
Even their religions have been used
as smoke-screens to fool them
No wonder the democrats fght--
they have to!
