who might have stepped out of the Old Testament, the Nizam of Hyderabad conducts one of the strangest reigns of modern time; rule of the richest man in the world.
 From his sultry, showy place in the city of Hyderabad, capital of this south central Indian province, the nizam yields his power over some 14,000,000 subjects. In a huge red and gold room he directs the routine business of his native state, reaches decisions quickly. He attends his official duties with utter lack of ceremony. He wears the simplest attire. On state oc- casions, however. he stages vast Oriental splendor.
 Fabulously wealthy, the nizam is said to be worth $600,000, ,000. Yet he is virtually prisoner in his own land. Ancient customs decree that he shall never leave Indian shores. Actually he never leaves the capital city, even dur ing the torrid summers.
 He owns six beautiful palaces, yet he prefers to dwell in the smallest. He has fleet of 50 limousines, yet he often travels about in an old touring car of 1927 model. He collects the bulk of his fortune from his people, but he turns much of it back in works of public welfare, model villages, Sanitariums and child health cen-

HOME OWNERS GET
 DANGER WARNINGS
Precautions Urged Before Building on Lots Too
 Small or Too Rocky

A warning was given to all cities In the state by Warren J. Scott, director of the Bureau of Sanitary Engineering, in the regular broad cast of the State Department of Health that now, with the rebuild ing operations necessitated by the hurricane, is the opportune time to take advantage of the state law enabling each community to pass a local ordinance prohibiting con- Struction of new dwelling houses until sewage disposal plans have been approved by the authorized To- cal officials. Such an ordinance protects the builder, the prospective owner and the community. It safe- guards the sanitary condition of bathing and shell-fish waters and avoids the creation of nuisance con- ditions. Hartford, West Hartford, old Lyme, Madison and New Mill ford are cited as some communities that have enacted local ordinances or regulations.
 Home owners should be aware of the dangers which may arise with out some control of sewage dis posal. Precautions should be talk en not to build home on too small lot or on ground too rocky, too wet or with too tight soil. Such conditions will not permit of suffi- cient seepage to take the drainage from sewage disposal system. A septic tank. sometimes hailed as the remedy to this situation, is not the answer, for while it allows for partial settling of the solids in sewage, it in no way reduces the volume of liquid sewage to be disposed of. Un- fortunately, at times the only answer to serious nuisance problems is to abandon the house.
 Another point to be noted is that the State Sanitary Code prohibits the location of a new sewage dis posal system within 75 feet of well or a human habitation other than that to which it is appur- tenant without approval by the To- cal health officer. The purpose of this regulation is to protect the well from contamination.

The Speech Thot Cove
 Lincoln to History

THE tall. gaunt Abraham Lin-
 coin who returned to politics in 1854 with the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska act, opening the northwestern territories to sla- very, was in no manner the prairie politician of five years earlier. In l847-49 he had served single term in Congress, where he had not satisfied anyone. Now he emerged as dynamic cham pion.
 The nation first recognized this new Lincoln at Peoria on Oct. 16t Five years of hard work in the law had developed in him excep- tional powers of argument. He displayed these in his first great speech an answer to Stephen A. Douglas, that day. Combining vision, understanding, sympathy, the address at once became the finest exposition yet given on the whole slave question,
 He wanted to check slavery, he pointed out, because it was inhu- man, but even more so because "new free states are places for poor people to go to- and better their condition" He wanted the burning issue settled to benefit both the white and the black in America. He wanted no vindic- tiveness; he was wholly the hu-. manitarian, the democrat.
 The Peoria speech made Lin- coin famous. His political ambi- tions immediately sprang to life again. He plunged back into pol- itics with new energy and force which he was later to exhibit in the great Lincoln-Douglas de- bates. His words had won him place in history.
 The Civil War President is shown here on stamp of the new U. S. regular series, enlarged.

CHAPTER XXI

Commander Sloane found her Stlll clinging to Jacks hand, still looking into his eyes. The commander har- rumphed loudly, and Judy turned with slight blush.
 This young gellow'S strong as an ox," said the doctor jocularly "A bash like that would have killed anyone else. But all he's got is a broken arm and a few busted ribs"
 Internal injuries?" Judy asked swiftly.
 Commander Sloane's eyes avoided hers. "Well we don't know - takes time to be sure"
 HOW long will it be before he's well?"
 "Now, now, don't be rushing things! A good long rest in bed never hurt anybody"
 St it was going to take a long time. Weeks. Months, maybe. She wanted to ask if Jack would ever fiy again, and suddenly she knew that he had asked himself. Probably it was the first thing he said when he regained consciousness. She did, mt ask.
 Jack was weak. He smiled, and tried to talk, but there were tell tale white lines around his mouth, and his face was pinched with exhaustion. She said, Darling, I'll be here every time they'll let me in. I'll come ten times day. Oh, try to get well quickly!" She bent over him. You must sleep, now. Goodby. I'll come back in the morning.
 "Goodby," he said, "Judy, Judy =" There was so much he wanted to tell her, she knew. But his breath came short, the cruel plas- ter cast was like a heavy weight on his body. She said soothingly, '1 know, darling. See you tomor- rowl" She smiled bravely.
 While her mother and father and the skipper of the Enterprise and almost everyone else were busy ar ranging the funeral of honor for Bill Bell, Judy was at the hospital with Jack. The next morning he ap- peared stronger.

Unknown and unsuspected by the aver
age citizen, these men comprise the
"Who's Who" of crime. They are the
real criminals, the renegades of society
who mock our laws and make organized
crime possible.
They are the higher-ups of crime. The
criminals who actually violate our laws
are only the common laborers. They run
all the risks and do all the dirty work -
but must share their plunder with crimes
"aristocracy."
Let US look at crime as it really exists
and expose those forces which, despite
their cloaks of respectability, make crime
an easy and lucrative business.
First, there is the renegade Judge, who
sells out to venal politician. He poses
as righteous member of the community,
vet he takes bribes in bankruptcy cases
or others involving huge sums.
Behind the renegade judge there is the
crooked politician who puts him in office.
If people realized how great an in
Auence politics plays in crime, we should
have much better law enforcement. We
can't put all the blame on the burglar
and the hold-up man; perhaps they were
promised immunity if they voted for
"the right" candidates. With certain ex-
ceptions, these promises are not made
by the candidate himself; they are made
by the venal politician, who has seized
control of the political machine just as
gangster seizes control of district for
racketeering purposes. The venal poll
tician operates upon gangster principles,
even using violence to- shove his puppets
into Office. Once there, they must do his

bidding. And since he has used the
criminal world to achieve his ends, he
must protect it. These renegade poll
ticians block law-enforcement approprla-
tions and handicap the work of
law-enforcement officers.
Next, there is the weasel-n1inded shy
ster lawyer of crime who sneaks highly
technical bills through legislatures to
provide loopholes for his criminal clients,
who advises criminals before they COM
init their crimes, and who often harbors
them afterward. One of the worst crimi-
nails is the lawyer-criminal; he is foun-
tain head of crime; he barters the welfare
of his community for the easy money
paid him by criminals. Yet unthinking
citizens often admire him.
Next comes the "fence" or receiver of
stolen goods. He rarely is punished for
his misdeeds, yet the criminal world
could not exist without him. Times be-
yond mention, the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation has found that the trail of
criminality led straight to big fences" ,"
many of whom were allied with venal
politicians.
Prominent on the pages of Crimes
"Who's Who" is the crooked doctor who
stands ready to aid the criminal, to
change his features by facial operations,
to attempt to eradicate his 6ngerprints,
to treat gunshot wounds - and say
nothing about it.
And don't forget those who work so
assiduously to make putty out of prison
bars. Too many of these persons are IN
the business for what they can get out of
it - in money, in political favors or even
publicity Behind the cloak of humani-
tarianism they open prison bars for
vicious, hardened offenders, by parole or
pardon. They prey upon and hide behind
the honest sentimentalist who believes
he is doing good when he pleads for the
release of criminals While the sentiment
talist does their work, they collect the
profits from turning "mad dog" crimi-
nails loose upon the world.
To this list we must add the renegades
of law enforcement. The crooked war
den, the crooked probation officer, the
crooked guard, the crooked officer - all
are worse offenders than the highway

man, for they are traitors to their obliga-
tions. They take no risks; about the only
penalty they face is dismissal, and usually
they can pull political strings and get
other jobs. Yet they are highly respon-
sible for criminality because they make
it possible for the criminal to live and
plunder.
America must be awakened to the
necessity for wiping out persons and
conditions which make crime possible.
The crooked lawyer, who lives in luxury
on the blood money of murdered hold-up
victims, may have standing in his COM
munity, where the unthinking regard
him as "shrewd and clever and tricky;
but those who admire him are opening
their doors to the danger of violence and
plunder.
The citizen who boasts that he got
bargain because he didn't trouble to
learn whether a purchased article was
acquired by shoplifting or burglary, is
keeping alive the 'fence."
The honest person who doesn't "bother
to go to the polls," often aids the
crooked politicians task of putting con-
trolled candidates into Office.
The criminal works for all these peo-
pie. He can be segregated only by an
outraged public opinion which will sweep
away these employers Of criminality.
