As Bad EIseUhere

AS DA0 GkSSNHSTS
But Communistic conditions in
Brooklyn College are no worss
than those in many other institu
tions, Prof. Fenlon said.
Because Of the propaganda
in the college and at its doors,
much of which cannot escape
the neighbors and the passers-
by" the professor testified, "it
is frequently said in the streets
Of Brooklyn that Communism
has actually taken over the col
lege."
This, to be sure. Is not true.
1t is important to point out,
however, that the spirit Of COM
muniSm, in some Of its varied
ramifications, at any rate, and
unconsciouSly even to particular
members of the faculty and per-
haps to particular members Of
the board of higher education,
is progressively gathering influ-
ence, especially in the ever-re-
curing appeal for democracy"
Hits Teachers Union
Prof. Fenlon assailed the Teach
erS Union in New York city as "ar
imposing center of propaganda
and labelGd the American Student
Union as influenced by commun
ism"
A professor in the Brooklyn Col
lege'S department of philosophy
DR.. Fenlon spoke rapidly and
weighed his testimony carefully.
AS evidence of existence of COM
munism, Prof. Fenlon testified to
these three points:
A teacher group publishes
l. "Staff," which carries state
ment, ISSUED monthly by the
Brooklyn College unit of the Com
munist party of America"

Bronchial Coughs
Need Creo1nulsion

Just a common cough, a chest cold,
or a bronchial irritation of today may
lead to serious trouble tomorrow. They
NAV be relieved now with Creomulsion,
an emulsified Creosote that is pleasant
to take. Creomulsion is a medicinal
combination designed to aid nature in
soothing and healing infected mucous
membranes by allaying irritation and
inflammation and by aiding in loosen
ing and expelling germ-laden phlegm.
The Medical Profession has for gen.
erations recognized the beneficial effect
of Beechwood Creosote in the treat
ment of coughs, chest colds, and bron-
chial irritationS. A special process was
worked out by chemist, for blending
Creosote with other ingredients so that

now IN CreomuIslon you get a good
which is palatable and may be taken
frequently by both adults and children.
Creomulsion is one preparation that
goes to the very seat of the trouble to
help loosen and eXpel germ-laden
phlegm. When coughs, chest colds and
bronchial troubles-due to common colds
hang on, get bottle of Creomulsion
from your druggist, use it as directed
and if you are not satisfied with the
relief obtained, the druggist is author
is one word, ask for it plainly, see that

and you'll get the genuine product and
the relief you want. (Adv.)

Los Concentrates de I'm Viejo Guaso5n
PoR JOSE n. SANFELIZ

Las notas que 81 gobierno bri-
tanico Sc ha atrevido a envial
al gooierno meiicano, con mott
vo del asunto de la expropiaci6n
de los pozos petroleros, Sc pres
tan a concentrates jocosos mas
que a acotaciones dramaticas.
Ese gobierno britannica que
Ienvia notas energicas por me-
do de su siniestra diplomacia,
es ell mismo que no dijo NADIA de-
coroso cuando los buques de
guerra de cierta naci6n lie echa-
ron a pique varios barcos mer-
cantes en- ell Mediterraneo. Los
submarines piratas y los aero
pianos de una nacion que ell go
bierne ingles conocia, Sc burla-
ban de los famosos acorazados,
cruceros, caza-torpederos y des-
ltructores de la marina real in
glesa.
Pero TODD es question de Ii
bras esterlinas.
Ell gobierno ingles ha firma-
do un pacto con ell de Italia re-
conOciendo tacitamente que ell
ejercito Y la marina italiana in
tervienen en- la guerra que asola
los campos de la peninsula ibe-
RIGA. Ell gobierno ingles, dirigi-
do por un Chamberlain, usa de
differences prismas para yer los
asuntos mundiales.
La politica de no-interveneion
lie parece justa en- ell case de la
guerra civil espanola, negando
ell derecho a un gobierno legfti-
mo de adquirir pertrechos de
guerra donde lie plazca para
combatir a sus enemigos.
Pero csc gobierno consiente
descaradamente que dos nacio-
mes que han invadido con sus
ejercitos ell territorio espanol,
envien a sus ejercitos no solo
la production de sus grandes IA
brlcas de armas y municiones,
slno que compran en- otros pai-
ses tambien, para aprovisionar
ly pertrechar a las tropas in
vasoras.
Que Ia guerra en- los campos

pamela preocupa muchfsimo al

que no Sc puede poner en- duda ;

estos lie den a la naci6n inglesa

ESQ de las energicas notaS,
al gobierno de la digna Repd-
blica Mejicana, no eS mas que
un recurso para distraer la a.
tenci6n del mundo hacia otro a.
sunto y que no Sc fijen en- la hui
mildad y servilismo que ha mos
TRADE ante las demands de Mus
solini. Como dijo un diputado in
giles: ell gobierno de Chamber
lain ha fracasado, Y Sc ha do
blegado ante todas las exigen-
cias de los fscistas Y nazistas de
Europa.
Al ~gobierno britannica no lie
parece justo Y legal que una ma
ci6n libre, duena y soberana de
sus destinos, sea tambien duena
de las riqueZas naturales que Sc
encierran en- SUI territorio, Y que
fueron concedidas a los indus
triales ingleses para que las ira
bajaran; pero sujetas siempre
al respeto de los contratos con
ell gobierno mejicano.
La appropriation dictada por
el Presidente Cardenas lie pare
&c injusta porque ha sido una
descarga fulminante a la fidu-
cha de los bancos de Londres.
Las descargas de bombas que

llzadas por aviadores italianos

Blackburn Was
Arrested. Mon.
Alleged Bootlegger Trapped
In Narrow Road By Sheriff
Ed Miller.

In a rather unusual sort of a
way, Sheriff Ed Miller arrested
Spencer Blackburn, Of Idlewild,
last Monday afternoon on a
charge of illegal possession of
whiskey.
Sheriff Miller and Deputy Sher-
iff Lem Miller had gotten a tip
that a moonshine still was in op-
Grafton in the Idlewild communi-
ty and they were going over there
to- destroy it.
En- route to the scene of the
still, they met Blackburn, recog-
nized him, blocked the narrow
road and arrested him. The war
rant was issued some time ago
when Sheriff Miller searched the
home in which Blackburn had
lived until he moved to Tennes-
see, and there found several gal
Ions of whiskey in the house and
barn.
Later they went to the place
where the still was supposed to

Christmas on the Highway

CHICAGO.-With traff1c increased
by the Christmas rush, more Amer.
lean lives were lost in automobile
accidents, during the month Of De.
cember, 1896. than in the Revolu.
tionary war. But last December,
in campaign led by the National
Safety council, the toll was reduced
by 400 lives. But still $3.50 people
were killed that month. Pedestri-
ans and motorists alike were re-
sponsible for this "fieJd day" Of the
Grim Reaper. People are often less
cautious during the holiday season.
