Christmas Dinner Takes Off

Excitement reached fever heat at about $3.50,
Christmas morning. in Block B. when the live turkey

The nimble witted bird. the report has it,

Sympathetic neighbors, clad the moment found

Turk into custody. They finally cornered the cobb
Ter in nearby garage. At this point. it seemed
certain that fate about to write "finis" to his
chapter, when the turkey, who must have BEEN
Der of the local glider club, took off, giving all
hands the "bird".
Once in the air, the fugitive cleared all the
houses and garages between himself and the woods,
wi It'll half of Block in hot pursuit. Somewhere in
the wilderness, he met his Waterloo. Shots from
rifle and double barre1ed shotgun slowed him up.
His pursuers charged and brought him down.
With the situation we'll in hand, Lewis stripped
off his necktie and, tying his game to tree,
separated Mr. Turk from his feathers in preparation
for the roasting oven. He then headed the pro-
cession their long trek home, proudly bearing
his trophy.
Inquiry developed the fact that Mr.. Lewis

planned that feeling sorry for the bird. he tied
him loosely not to impede the blood circu1a-
ton. He did not know he stimuli ting circula-

to national issues remains to be seen.
There is little doubt that some Of his
advisers would favor plunge on his
part into wholesale attacks on the
Roosevelt administration in Washing
ton. They probably feel that such at:
tacks would attract more national at
tention to their candidate than his
concentration on State matters, even
with national policy inferences.
Mr.. Dewey has exhibited a capacity
for planning and carrying out his
racket crusade OF his own bat, how
ever. and . remarkable ability under
political stress to keep his own counsel.
Those capacities and abilities sug-
gest that, while young Dewey is OBJ
viously pointing in his own mind as
much toward the White House ulti-
mately as he is toward Albany imme-
diately. he has mapped his own meth
DDS Of getting there and is apt to
carry through with them. 1t is the
picture OF = youthful and forecful

particulars specifically provided by

The current hearing provides the
basis for settlement Of differences
among producers within each district.
The commission then will determine
minimum prices and direct district
producers boards to make an inter-
district coordination. Later q hear
ing will be held on these co-ordinated
prices. Apprehension arose from a
belief that the later hearing would
provide no remedy for intradistrict
disputes.
A commission member said after
informal conferences with producers
he was satisfied the commission was
on solid ground and all interested
parties would have fair and adequate
hearing.
Most of yesterdays hearing was de-
voted to protests Of individual pro-
ducers in district 3. Northern West
Virginia, against the minimum price
schedule proposed by the producers
board of that district. The commits
sion said it would begin testimony
today on district 7, embracing South

employment Insurance Administration
at Albany-an attack upon methods,
not objectives.
Mr.. Dewey's stand emphasizes the
difficulties ahead for President Roose-
velt in attempting by party purge or
any other means to bring about q real
liberal conservative realignment, in
which the Democratic party would
claim exclusive right to the liberal
label.
The Dewey technique indicates that
If New York is to supply the leading
Republican candidate this year for
1910 presidential honors, New Deal ef-
forts to pin q conservative stigma on
him may prove a harder job even
than trying to reshape the Democratic
party roster to the New Deals liking.

Of New York; but it may As well have
neent the National Government.
Further on, Mr.. Dewey briefed his
views on "the ownership and use Of
the natural resources Of this State"
to reproach elements Of our own
party" for having opposed "the in
evitable and perpetual ownership" OF
such resources by the people of the
State" That is q potential national
power policy plank, as some politicians
here read it.
There were other intimations of
Mr.. Dewey's approach to national
policy controversies in that speech al
though never presented in words en-
comprising territory outside the State.
Still others came in his frst election
campaign address this week, notably
his declaration, Gaping a blistering
attack on the Democratic administra-
ton of the State unemployment insur-
ance system, that such insurance had
become "a sound and necessary part"
Of social progress in this country.

This picture is Of interest because OF
the possibility that election night re-
turns in November might give him q
long head-start toward a Republican
presidential nomination in 1910.
Reports from Dewey headquarters at
the time he was drafted to make the
New York race indicated he would
confine himself almost exclusively to
State issues and his New York City
racket-busting crusade. He has not
as yet departed from that plan of
action, yet between the lines of his
speeches there begins to appear, to
the eyes OF Washington political OBJ
servers, the outline of a 1910 platform
on which he might stand for White
House honors.
Dual Meaning Seen.
The first glimpse of that came in
the acceptance speech. It outlined
the view that it was the function Of
the State" to protect its citizens from
economic catastrophes which sweep
away their means of livelihood through

guard them against racketeering and

MENCKEN DEGREES
RAID ON HEALTH
Raps Johns Hopkins as
Most BrutaI|y Anti-SociaI'
Agency in City.
BY the Associated Press.

6y tne Associated treSS.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 14.-Henry L.
Mencken, Baltimore editor, asserts the
way the medical profession gives free
service to the feeble-minded approxi-
mates "a raid on the public health"
Unable to make scheduled address
at symposium on medical problems
at Duke University at Durham, N. c..
Mr.. Mencken discussed medical prob
lens in an interview and cited the
free clinics of Johns Hopkins Hos
pital here as an example.
Complimenting the work of the
medical staff in service to 1000 poor
daily as valuable beyond computa-
tion," he added nevertheless, "the
Johns Hopkins is the most brutally
anti-social agency ever set up in Bal
timore."
THE women's clinic delivers about
1,400 babies a year in its own studios
and about 500 more in the homes of
their mothers. Its patients are about
evenly divided between whites and
blacks. OF the white mothers during
a typical year 1915 per cent were found
to be Il quote) seriously defective
and feeble minded and of the colored
mothers, 1876 per cent.
Half Were Paupers.
Exactly half the white mothers
were registered at the Baltimore So
cial Service Exchange as habitual or
intermittent paupers and more than
81 per cent of the colored mothers
OF the whites, 80 per cent came from
families known to be afflicted by alco-
holism, mental alterations or other
impediments to normal living, and of
the blacks 86.l per cent.
Finally, of the white women, 36
per cent had syphilis, and of the COL
ored women, 226 per cent
Imagine permitting such ghastly
caricatures of humanity to reproduce
their kind ad libitim, and not only
permitting it, but even facilitating it.
Answer in Records.
what sort of children do they be-
get? The answer is to be. found in
the records of the Johns Hopkins it
self. The women who are being de-
livered of pathological specimens to-
day are the daughters of pathological
specimens who were delivered at the
women's clinic 20 years ago. Twenty
years hence their daughters will be
back, ready with more syphilitic
babies.
THE husbands and lovers of these
precious ladies are also steady patrons
of the hospital They give their
custom to the alcoholic and syphilitic
wards. /. To be sure they are hu-
man, and so we must succor them
But how far, precisely. do we propose
to 90 in encouraging them to multiply
their kind? How long are We going
to endure raid on the public health,
the public security and the public
solvency that increases in sweep and
boldness every year?"
Johns Hopkins Hospital authorities,
refusing to be quoted by name, COM
mented Mr.. Mencken, was Technically

hospitals of any of the large cities of

The Russian revolution which ended that nations participation in the war left these embattled Czech regiments stranded. They were not Russians but neither could they return home, for Aus tria would have executed them as fast as they returned.
 For the dual purpose of reScuing the Czechs and of forcing Russia back into the war, the United States, Japan and the Allies sent thousands of men into Siberia by way of VladivoStok. Ultimately thousands of Czech soldiers, after wandering more or less aimlessly about Central Russia, completed the strange Odyssey around the world from the AuStro-German front, across European and Asiatic Russia, the Pacific Ocean, the U s. and the Atlantic, and took up fight ing on the Western Front Others continued stringing across this country four or five years after the war ended.

LOVE, DRAMA IN TALE OF
 PIONEER DAYS
Irene Dgnne Scores in New M IS cal Film with Ran
 dolph Scott, Coliseum

J0rcma Kern, dean of American ocmp -cc~s, and Oscar Hammerstein T, renowned librettist, creato-s Of mary of Americas unforeettable
 nu cal plays, contribute to the
 crcen anc' her sweeping drama cf 7arl9s rmorican life in High, Wide md Handsome, now showing at the CeligeYm Theatre
 The Story of the troubled birth of the oil industry in the United States S the background for the lovely TO- nance of a determined, fighting Pennsylvania farmer and a beau
 iful light-hearted singer of car nival shows. Randolf Scott n d Irene Dunne carry the romantic leading roles, supported by a cast Of more than thousand, including Dorothy Lamour, Elizabeth Patter- son, Raymond Walburn, Charles Bickford, Akim Taminoff, Ben Blue and William Frawley The love story of these two vitally different char acters is aided throughout by the fine music of Kern, who has made the score of High, Wide and Hand some" one of his best works
 On the wedding day of Miss Dunne and Scott, oil is discovered on his property, and Miss Dunne finds that she is pushed out of her husbands life by his interest in the new industry Accustomed to the gay life of the carnival, she is lost in the rural community with out the love to which she has given her life, and so to seek peace again, she returns to the carnival.
 Scott's struggle against the pred atory railroad interests whips up to a miniature war. His very life is threatened. When Miss Dunne realizes his danger, her love surges again and, in thrilling climax, she returns to help him win his fight.
 This love story is unfolded in a setting of seething drama, with the fights over the pipe line which was to bring oil to the Eastern refineries spreading thrilling action across the screen. It was the strife between the railroads and the farmers who found oil on their lands that furn- ished the historical basis for the screen play.
