Case in Trial.

LONDON, KY, June 18.-The de-
fense goes to bat Monday In the Har-
Ian anti-union conspiracy trial.
Persons close to the defense said
there were two likely methods Of
opening the defense:
/. BY introducing testimony con-
corning the 1881 battle Of Evarts, ="
in which three deputy sheriffs and
a company clerk were killed and for
which q number of United Mine
Workers of America offlcials and
members are serving life sentences.
2. BY placing an operator on the
stand to describe the purposes of the
Harlan County Coal Operators As
sociation, which the Government says
was maintained to further the COM
mon hate of the operators for union
ism" "
Former Federal Judge Charles I.
Dawson, defense chief. said no deci-
sion had been reached, however.
Federal District Judge H. Church
Ford has restricted the defense to
bare mention of the Evarts clash to
avoid trying here the merits of that
still moot case.

President Roosevelt vetoed 13 meas
ures during the session just closed,
boosting his total as the champion
vetoer Of White House history. Only
one veto was overridden.
The books are not yet closed, how
ever. During the absence of Congress,
legislation which the President does
not sign within 10 days after receiv-
Ing it is automatically vetoed.
In the first session of this Congress
the President vetoed II measures and
"disapproved" % others by not signing
them within 10 days after adjourn

vetoes. Mr.. Roosevelt also vetoed one
OF the half dozen pieces of legisla-
ton to pass the special session last
fall.
Since 1888 the President has vetoed
2S5 measures, and Congress has over
ruled him times.
President Cleveland turned down
1853 legislative proposals and was over

sentatives Of Pittsburgh's two after
noon newspapers, the Sun Telegraph

which for the first time in many
years stilled the Saturday night roar

MI. R. B. MOVES
T0TAKE IN BANKS
Bank of America Workers
Will Air Complaints on
June 27.

BY the Associated Press.
One of the largest banking houses
in the United States is involved In the
first broad scale move of the National
Labor Relations Board to assert its
jurisdiction over labor relations in
the field Of big business and finance.
The board has arranged for hearings
in Los Angeles June 27 on a COM
plant by one of the white-collar
workers unions in John L. Lewis
c. I. o. charging the Bank Of America
with labor practices that were out
lawed by the Wagner Act.
Later the board is expected to make
similar move against five insurance
companies where organized white col
lar workers have attempted to initiate
collective bargaining.
May Revive Dispute.
Application of the highly contro-
versial Wagner Act in the fields Of
banking and insurance may well re-
vive some of the strenuous disputes
and legal maneuvering attending the
boards efforts to make the Wagner
Act stick in the fields OF industry and
manufacturing.
For weeks the boards division Of
economic research has dug into stat
utes and statistics building q founda-
ton for the boards claim that both
banking and insurance establishments
operate in interstate commerce.
The research experts will provide
the board with exhibits showing the
extent to which banks and insurance
houses use the mails for interstate
business and to which they have hold
ings in such things as railroad and
utilities. The exhibits also will show
that either singly or in syndicates,
financial institutions underwrite Sc
curity f1otations affecting interstate
commerce and that bankers and in
surance men sit on the directorates Of
railroads and utilities.
Beyond that the exhibits will sh ow
the myriad transactions in routine
banking and insurance operations.
100000 Would Be Affected.
If the board succeeds in establish
ing its jurisdiction over banking and
insurance it will have reached a new
group of white collar workers-clerks,
office workers, statesmen in the finan-
cial industry.
Board attaches estimate that about
100000 persons engaged in banking
and insurance operations would be
affected by the extension Of the Wag-
ner Act to their types Of employment.
Labor men expect insurance COM
panies to question whether their sales
men are, in fact. employees of the
company. 1t has been argued in some
instances that statesmen are individual
contractors with no employer-employe
relationship such as exists in other
lines of business.
The banks might claim to be ex-
empt from the Wagner Act as they
are from social security payroll taxes
for unemployment compensation. The
Internal Revenue Bureau in making
them exempt from social security
taxes, ruled that as members of the
Federal Reserve Bank System, they
were part of the Government estab-
lishment. The Social Security Act
does not apply to Government en-
ployes.

Educational Driue Is Mapped
To End Mishaps of Small Boots
Accidents on Potomac
Result in Program, of
Marine Bureau.

Recent mishaps involving small
craft on the Potomac River and Ches-
apeake Bay have resulted in the initia-
ton OF an educational campaign by the
Bureau Of Marine Inspection and
Navigation of the Commerce Depart
ment to reduce the loss Of life occur
ring each spring and summer on the
waterways of the country, it was
learned yesterday.
Plans for the campaign are being
formulated under the direction Of
Comdr. r. S. Field, U. S. N, retired,
who has had such q program under
construction for some time.
The files of the bureau are filled
with reports Of small-boat accidents,
many of which were caused, officials
learned, by the inability Of their
handlers. The bureau has no direct
jurisdiction over the operation Of such
craft, it was pointed out, its duties
being confined to inspection Of larger
vessels and licensing Of officers who
operate them. However, many In
vestigations by the bureau involve
collisions between licensed boats and
smaller craft.
Examinations for Craft.
Comdr. Field explained that the
bureau has no funds nor the inspec-
ton force to watch over small boats
over the country, but he hopes to en-
list the aid of the press, still and mo-
ton picture organizations and other
groups to bring before those engaged
in pleasure boating the dangers which
are present in this sport and methods
of avoiding them.
The campaign, it was explained, will
be designed to instruct those who love
boating how they can conduct ex-
aminations to determine the sea-
worthiness Of the craft they are to take
out, the load limit and the dangers
which they must be prepared to face,
particularly in streams where larger
vessels throw large rollers in their
wake.
Efforts will be made to discourage
QUILL PidStiCCS dS tllc lUduulS Ol row
boats to the gunwales and padding
into unfamiliar water, with no life
preservers aboard and persons who
are unable to swim.
No Figures Available.
Though there are no definite figures
available in this bureau or the Bureau
of the Census as to the number of
persons who annually lose their lives
in small boat accidents. officials esti-
mate they run into thousands. Efforts
are to be made during the campaign
to break down the figures in drowning
and other water casualties to show
those occurring directly in the opera
ton Of small craft.
Comdr. Field pointed out it is not
the purpose of the campaign to dis
courage participation in this sport, but
to educate the participants in precau-
tions to be taken before and during
such cruises to receive the full enjoy
ment and avoid unnecessary accidents.

of Iodine. The strong tincture should be left exclusively for med ical use. The weak or mild tincture is meant for popular use.
 Immediate application of Mild Tincture of Iodine to any cut, scratch or abrasion is the most efficient first aid disinfection, in my judgment. If this is done and the wound immediately covered or dressed with 8 sterile (germ-free) dressing for protection, no further antiseptic treatment is necessary. Notwithstanding the momentary smarting or bite caused by iodine, I prefer it to any other antiseptic available for the purpose when I have such an injury.
 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 Appendicitis
 Should one who has chronic ap- pendicitis wait for an acute attack to have the operation? How long after operation before one can re- sume strenuous exercise?
 Missj J. S.) Answer - Diagnosis of chronic appendicitis" or chronic trouble in the appendix region must always be tentative, a mere guess. Generally one may resume gentle exercises a week after operation--under the doctors instruction. More vigorous exercises month after operation. Early resumption of exercise advis- able as rule.
 Root Beer
 Please give your opinion of root beer as 8 beverage? G. s. D. Answer-It is comparatively harm less, although I believe the fresh fruit beverages are the most health- full.
 IOdin
 Have benefited greatly from the iodin ration, which I took for a month. Ankles were always swollen but the swelling cleared up. Later it returned. Resumed the iodin ration another month, and swelling again cleared up. Now 1t is coming back. (Mrs. E. J. L.)
 Answer-Such swelling about the ankles often signifies hypothyriod ism, and a suitable iodin ration daily the year around might be advisable in such circumstance.

ing and study he can get ahead. Better to skip now than later, and every semester saved at present gets him out of high school and college just that much earlier"
 In both cases the lower grades of these schools were crowded, which had some bearing on the quick promotion of able children, but the school officers were being entirely conscientious in giving James his chance.
 He had worked hard and man. aged to keep up with boys and girls almost a year older, but now 1t is likely to happen again, and his mother thinks she won't have him pushed any more. She asked me what I thought.
 Work Becomes Strain
 It is all right for bright child to skip part of his primary work in the first couple of years, or for him to catch up with the elemen- tary class that has passed him through an illness or absence, by extra study in order to make the leap to their level; but 1t is not a good plan to put him under the per petual strain of doing two terms work in one.
 Besides, there are basic facts and basic functions in each grades work that cause confusion later on if missed. It is hard. for instance, to make up fractions and all they imply, for fractions need more than & few days attention. It takes re- petition and more repetition to make them register.
 Arithmetic is not the only s,ib- feet that needs thoroughness. The factual studies such as geography and history need rehearsing.
 The other point to be made is age level. Perhaps Jimmy is mentally a year older than his contemporaries. But are his boyish interests older? think it wise for parents to scrutinize their bright child who is thrown with older classmates, and see if he Is happy. He may be, but too often not. He may feel lost, un- important, unable to compete in games, and entirely out of his na- tural element.
 should think twice, if I were Mrs. Gray, before allowing my boy to skip again.

THE FAMILY MEDICINE
 CUPBOARD

From time to time readers and editors suggest that articles giving instructions for equipping and using family medicine chest or first aid cabinet would make welcome, CT, change.
 Very well, then. The important things to put into your medicine cupboard are intelligence or com mon sense and economy, if you ex- pect to get safety and health out of 1t. Nine out of ten family medi- cine chests, whether of the ready made store kind or home made and equipped, contain items that have no business in such place. Among the dangerous and unnecessary items I have seen in family medi- cine chests or cupboards are such poisons a sstrychnine, phenol (car- bolic acid), corrosive sublimate (bichloride of mercury), cresol so- lutions (various proprietary mix lures of crude phenols with soap solutions) and even @ can of lye. The lye was evidently put there by some thoughtless, irresponsible per- son, but 1t goes to show how some people tempt fate.
 An excellent motto for the medi- cine cupboard is this:
 It May Do Good
 It Can Do No Harm
 If 1t is necessary to use a dan gerous poison such as lye, carbolic acid, sulphuric acid, hydrochloric (muriatic3 acid, nitric acid, arsenic, oxalic acid or cyanide in the home the entire supply of the poison should be used at once so that none shall be left in the house. If this rule were always followed the lives of many victims of criminal care- lessness would be saved.
 Tn my judgment the only anti septics, disinfectants or germicides necessary in the medicine cupboard are an ounce vial of Weak Tincture of Iodine and an ounce or two of Boric Acid.
 Both the U. s. and the British Pharmacopoeias now specify two strengths of Tincture of Iodine. Strong Tincture of Iodine contains 7.5 per cent of Iodine. Weak Tine ture of Iodine contains 25 per cent

 Hair that is dry and harsh and perhaps slightly bleached from over exposure to hot sunshine needs spe- cial attention right now. No woman who wants to have smart coiffure this fall wilfNmake an appointment to get a new permanent until her hair is in excellent condition.
 The popular saying is that a per manent wave is only as good as the operator who gives it. But it's well to remember that no operator can be expected to give as fine a wave to dull, lifeless locks as to glossy, healthy ones.
 Begin by using your hairbrush regularly. Not just now and then or occasionally at the end of the week when your fingerwave has about disappeared. But every single night. Brushing, providing the strokes are up and away from the scalp, won't hurt brand new fin gerwave. That is, if it Is a really fine one
 Also, have or give yourself hot oil treatment once week. Simply dip cotton pads in warm (almoSt hot olive oil part your hair in sec tions and rub the oil into scalp Then massage scalp with finger tips. If possible, wrap clean towel around your head and leave the oil on all night Next morning, shampoo an the usual manner.
 Don't, during the weeks ahead get your hair wet when you swim, bathe or take shower. There are shower caps which are leakproof, you know If you cannot seem to find one, then buy strip of chamois and wrap it tightly around your head before putting on your regular shower cap.

This summer the Grays moved to a new city. Jimmy will have to go to his fourth school in so many years. His mother has been wor- ried about him, because instead of being put back, as used to be the case when families movide, his experience has been the other way.
 James is a smart boy, and his
