If Catharinc O'Quim had not
come to California for her health,
she probably would be writing

Miss O'Quinn. AZ her name

father was prominent business

Even when Justice Jesse Adkins

Lands stoicism did not desert
him.
TRIAL MAY 8
Clean shaven and neatly
dressed, Lands listened attentively
while Assistant District Attorney
Cecil r. Helm told Justice Adkins
tentative plans have been made
to start his trial May 9.
Defense Attorneys E. Russell

Justice Adkins told them he
thought one week would be Suffi-
cient.

ARLINGTON ROAD
RIGHTS UPHELD

ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, April 14.-Right of Ar
lington county to participate in
the proposed George Washington
Memorial Highway development
was supported by Commemorative
Attorney Lawrence w. Douglas in
an opinion given to the members
of the county board today.
Taxpayers of the county had
raised the question as to the va
lidity of the county's participation
in land condemnation proceedings.
Under the terms of the project,
money for the highway will be
raised from three sources. the
Federal contribution being $780,
900 and $4,000 each from the
State of Virginia and the county.
The States part of the fund
has already been set aside.

'U.S.Spriings
Held Most
Varied

In no other country do
mineral waters abound in greater
variety than In the United
States and it can be positively
stated that our American waters
are just as good, just as potent
and Just as efficient as in any
country in the world. It is sub
iect of sincere regret that their
physiological and therapeutic
properties, applicability and
methods of administration have
not been given more considerate
attention by the profession"
So declared Dr.. William Edward
Fitch, member of the International
Society of Medical NEUROLOGY:
American Medical Association and
American College of Physicians
and Surgeons, after q study of 425
active mineral spring areas in the
United States in 1927.
LACK OF INTEREST
DR.. Fitch in his book, Mineral
Waters o. the United States and
American Spas" depIored the lack
Of knowledge Of this country's
great natural health resources and
the Scant interest paid by the Gov
eminent in their development.
He pointed out that three cen
turtles ago Henry " by royal edict
prohibited the use of mineral,
waters by any of his subjects until
their cases had been diagnosed
and ruled that no spa could oper-
ate without approval of the
Academy of Medicine.
Now, DR.. Fitch asserted, the
government owns most of the
famed spas in France and super
ViseS their use. Healing waters in
Spain and Portugal also are owned
by the state, and in Germany the
Hitler government exercises rigid
control over the operations of it's
spas.
ONLY TWO HERE
BY contrast the United States
Government has assumed control
over its curative waters in only
two places, Hot Springs, Ark, and
Platt National Park, Okla. In
addition, the State of Wyoming
owns Big Horn Hot Springs, New
York State operates the world
renowned Saratoga Springs and
the State of West Virginia owns
Berkeley Springs, oldest spa in
the United States.
Pointing out that watering
places of Europe take an annual
toll of at least 100000 900 from
Americans, DR.. Fitch, after sur
Veying our own curative resources
asked:
Europeans seek relief at
their home spas. Why can't
We?"
An answer to DR.. Fitch's query
might be made if Senator O'Ma-
honey'S resolution calling for a
survey of Americas mineral
waters with curative qualities is
enacted.

of the United States.
In 1903, John Golfer returned
to civilization after two years
spent in the Rocky Mountains.
His auditors were frankly incred-
ulous of the stories he told of the
wonders of what is now yellow
stone National Park.
Tales of brilliantly colored mud
springs, of hot and cold water
charged with unknown minerals,
of towering fountains of ste n
and boiling water erupting at
regular intervals seemed far
fetched even to sympathetic lis
teners as told by the first white
man known to have visited The
area.
INDIANS USED WATERS
At the time of his trip, Wyo-
ming Indians we're making regu-
lar pilgrimages to the springs
which are now in the Hot
Springs State Park at Their
mopolis. Wyo. There they
found, in the mineral water
baths and mudS, relief from
aches and ailments engendered
by their trying winters on the
plains.
The principal spring Of the
group at ThermopoliS flows 1885,
100000 gallons of water at 1875
degrees every "a hours.
EUROPE LED WAY
But long before Golfer or the
grandfathers Of the Indians who
congregated at ThermopoliS.
European watering places had
been used and a start had been
made toward development of
the Sanatorium centerS and spas
which now attract not only Eu-
ropeans but many Americans
who are financially able to en-
joy their benefits.
l believe that in the United
States we have natural springs
which exceed those of Europe
in size, number and variety of
chemical solution. 1t is with
this thought in mind that /
have introduced the resolution
asking for an investigation and
survey as to the possibility Of
developing these great re-
sources.
This resolution woulo permit
the Public Health Service, the
Park Service, the Geological
Survey and the National Re-
sources Committee to study the
matter and make a suitable rec
ommendation to Congress for
the development of these re-
sources.
1t is apparent who l have in
cluded the Public Health Serv-
ice. In recent years the atten-
ton given hydrotherapy has de-
veloped interest in the health
giving or restoring qalitieS of
mineral springs.
BUREAUS CAN HELP
I have included the National
Park Service because it has had
great experience in developing
great scenic areas into popular
Fairgrounds. without loss of the
natural beauties nor more than
reasonable evidence of their
exploitation.

I 1NDER the situation covered by the

first attempt to boycott the Olympics was
when they were held in Los Angeles in

were lettered Kill the Capitalist Games"
An effort was made to hold rival set Of

wv ditions which lead to death of

perience watching this somber process in
European countries She has sat at the

Miss Thompson. watching events in

next 80 days will be as important as any
in the history of this Republic. They will
snowballs into a serious depression and
social crisis. If the latter happens. the
very future of American democracy may
be at stake"
How Miss Thompson feels today do not
know. At the time she wrote felt that
she fixed the period of trial too short.
wrote at the time, December S: 1T is, 1t
seems to me, the next six months rather
than the next 80 days that will throw light
on what Is to happen to America"
Today feel that the time must be very
short. Perhaps within a few weeks the
outcome will begin to be apparent. It will
become apparent in one Of two ways: Either
crease of unemployment will lead to re-
sumption of heavy Government spending.
Resumption of activity by private business
would point toward one kind of future for
America. Resumption of heavy spending
would be sign of different future
OF course, periods Of history do not al
ways come to clear-cut ends nor have
clear-cut beginnings on specific dates We
will not. on one day, be one kind of nation
and on the next day be different kind.
Three Courses Outlined.
But the alternatives ahead of us, the
courses We can take. or which we may be
maneuvered into, fall roughtly into three
categories:
First, competitive capitalism, the sort OF
individualist society we have always known
To go on with this one requisite is indis-
pensable. Business privately owned must
have confidence-or it will not function.
Private business does not have confidence
now, and therefore cannot function we'll
It is difficult to see how the confidence

light Of the impression of variableness he
has made on the business world Mr..
Roosevelts changeableness is described in

That trait of Mr.. Roosevelt is now 50
widely understood that no one is going to
expect his personality to undergo perma-
nent change and become settled, stable.
From the President confidence can hardly
come
Confidence could come from Congress.
Something that Congress might do, or con-
spicuously refrain from doing, might give
confidence to business and to the country
generally. Congress might take some step
which would show the country that it
