Election Day Riots

MIAMI, June %. (ANP)-Fail-
ure of the Okeechobee authorities
to investigate an alleged May Is
election night attack on a Negro
canning crew plant there, has re-
suited in the state attorneys Of
flee superceding the small town
officials and to date, more than
SO white witnesses have been
grilled concerning the riotous at
tack.
Heading the state investigators
is Thad H. Cation of Fort Pierce.
The latter stated that the quiz
would last more than a week. He
did not disclose what he had
learned. The investigation was
launched after Gov. Willard Cald-
well, chief foe of President Tru-
mans 1O-point civil rights pro-
gram, had been petitioned by AL
lem Markham, co-owner of the
plant to act.
It was disclosed that a full re-
port of the incident has been
turned over to the states attor-
ney's. office by Sgt. T. E. Jones,
Of the Florida Highway patrol.
The state attorneys office, head
ed by Murray Overstreet, is en-
powered to act witho t conven-
ing a session of the grand jury, it
was stated.
But for the beating of a white
foreman, the incident might have
remained a closed affair. But Jim
Rigdon wore out an assault and
battery warrant against one of
the attackers whom he recognized.
1t was likewise cleared up that
the wholesale attack on the Ne
groes was not to brighten them
away from the polls, but came as
the aftermath because the Ne
groes had been brought in to aid
in gathering the crop.
The savaSe-like attack took
place on the night of May 25, just
about 9 p. M, dinner time for the
Negro workers. One of the Mark
hams stated that about from 10
to IL white men entered the
plant and commanded the Negroes
to "get into those trucks and get

Donnie laughed. 1T was the next day you
started the mumps. And Eta Crary wanted
that brooch"

uncle. "She said that was the agreement, and
she was right. I had taken an old snuffbox

That's right Land, how you do recollect
this story! Yes, was all mumped up, and
lay there in bed, and felt mighty sick And
kept thinking about that brooch and imag-
lining that it was worth considerable, and
maybe I'd be rich and buy team of bay

could wear it, if it wasn't worth nothing. She

Glass and bras" said Donnie.
Shed took it down to old Larswell, the
matchmaker. and it was only glass and brass.
That was what she yelped at me- Glass and
brass, Lew Manson! Larswen says 50, and so
can wear it now, can't I?'"
The old man carved the pumpkins nostrils

about how you got the brooch"
well, it was the final one of our treasures.
1t was when the autumn rains come and
washed out the railroad bridge over Wind
River So all the big north-and- d-south trains
was routed through here, and sometimes they
stayed on the side tracks for while, waiting
for other trains to pass"
Donnie said. That was in eighteen

''Yes, sir. Eighteen-e eighty eight. And the
third day the trains started to come through,
people had got rather tired of them. But

Lew MANSON carved ferocious scowl be-
tween the pumpkin eyes. Amt certain yet
that she was an actress. But she had her
face painted, and she had pretty black curls,
and plumes on her hat, and bright ribbons,
and earrings. The man with her was even
more elegant: I remember that vest of his -
red braid around the pockets. Well, they
walked up and down, talking and arguing,
and the lady was crying. I couldn't hear
what was said, but always reckoned it was
that actress-looking lady who dropped the
brooch. The brooch was so gaudy."
Donnie stared into past which he had
never known. 'And after the train went
away. you found the brooch, didn't you?"

sticking up, like it had come unfastened.

1T amt late yet. Let's go down to the

Lew Manson sighed. He yielded at last.
We'll, l hain't got nothing better to do.
But I'm kind of lazy, Donnie. The grippe
stays in my bones"
IHEY left their pumpldnhead grinning
savagely from the back steps, and went
toward the smoky silence of the pasture.
Donnie carried a broken-handled spading
fork
Witches walk, on Halloween" declared
the old man mysteriously. DO you reckon
you can feel them hanging onto you, Donnie?"
When they came to a fence that stretched
along the rocky hillside, Manson leaned on
the top rail and began to cram tobacco into
his pipe. 'FYou 60 ahead, pirate"
"An right Uncle Lew, why'n't you
marry her when you got big, and live happily
ever after? Eta Crary, mean."
The old man lighted his pipe, and stood
for a moment listening to the last bold frogs
of autumn. Il reckon she wouldn't have
wanted me-" Then he added, in whisper
which the boy could not hear, Anyway, her

quietly toward the honeysuclle bushes which
marked the site of the old Crary place.
''Where'l dig?" demanded Donnie.

of that big rock and south of the burr oak
tree, and south of them bushes, and south
of everything"
Then reckon there amt anything else

He ran up the incline of hillock that shaped
itself on the pasture slope. NO." he said,

Old Lew examined the western horizon.
Looks to be set, from here"
Mot from here" said the child triumph
antly. II can see it, and amt as tall as

If Infant
Has Throat
Infection
By HERMAN N. BUNDEsEN, MD,

MOST Of US at some time or an
other develop some sort of throat
trouble; most often the trouble is
brought on by an infection.
AS a result of this infection in the
throat, two types of assesses NAV
form. One of them occurs particu-
larly in children. 1t is known as re-
tropharyngeal absucss. This condi-
tion is due to an infection of the
lymph glands which are found il.
the back part Of the throat. The
second type is known as a periton-
sillar abscess and develops around
or near the tissues in the tonsils.
Breathing Difficulty
More than half the cases of re-
tropharyngeal abscess occur in in
fants under one year of age. The
outstanding symptom consists of
difficulty in breathing due to block
ing of the throat. Sometimes a blu
ish color of the skin known as cya-
nosis, due to the fact that the child
is not getting enough air into the
lungs, also develops. The child gen.
orally lies with his head bent back
ward. A brassy cough is also pres
ent. The diagnosis is usually made
by q physician on examination of
the throat. The swelling in the
throat can be seen and can be felt
with the examining finger. The
lymph glands are also enlarged
The treatment consists in open
ing the abscess and letting the pus
drain out. If the patient is seen
early, before pus has formed, treat
ment with the sulfonamide drugs
and penicillin may ward off the de-
velopment of pus.
The outlook for patients with re
tropharyngeal abscess is usually
good. The most common complica-
tion is infection of the middle ear.
If the abscess is allowed to break
open of itself, the infected material
may get into the lung. Thus, to pre-
vent this, it is important that the
abscess be cut open by the surgeon.
Now and then the infection may
spread from the abscess to other
structures in the neck, but treat
ment with the penicillin and the sui
fonamide drugs will, as rule, pre-
vent this.
Peritonsillar assesses cause pain
and fever and develop as result
of tonsil infection and throat in
fections. These, too, must be treat
ed surgically. When the infection
clears up, the tonsils should be re-
moved to prevent recurrence.
Above all never neglect the Sc
we're throat infections. If neglected
thew may lead to serious results.

advantage of your kindness. Wish
ing to bear his sorrows and disap-
pointments for him, you have often
accepted the blame for what you
have known was his fault. You have
tried too hard to find something he
wants right away, that he has mis-
laid. Stop doing so. Next time he
blames you in silly ways, act as If
you do not hear him and, therefore,
have no feelings about the matter.
Carefully observe him while he is
with others and when you find him
trying to shift blame curb him, even
have him sit in a chair for punish
ment for 20 minutes.
Check carefully on the few things
you have forbidden him to do. Limit
these forbiddings to those you can
check personally. Then make sure
he is promptly punished for each
disobedicnce, that he bears the con-
sequences of his own acts, no matter
if his playmates had done the same
wrong acts or not. Never let him
get off with the excuse that the
other children also did it or told him
to do it.
Avoid putting him on trial, in
which you try to make him testify
against himself. Such trials tempt
him to lie and to blame others for
his own wrongs. (My bulletin, "Hon-
esty and Truthfulness, may be had
in stamped envelope.) Hold him
rigidly to such routines as coming
into the house promptly when the
lights appear and going to bed at
regular hour. Also try to have
lots of good times with him.

on Mary's wrist.

Those whose birthday it is have
much encouragement for forging
ahead to cherished goals, in busi-
ness, career, finance as well as per-
sonal qualification and prestige.
Working for these on practical
lines could bring fertile production
and progress, assisted by the subtle
influence of secrecy. tacit agree
ments or even intrigues rather than
above board tactics. Personality,
allure, charm or ideals could have
potent influence in promoting keen

A MENTALLY and socially
healthy person doesn't try to shift
the blame for his own faults, fail
ures and discomforts to others. For
tunate is the child who learns from
his early years to face the conse-
quences of his own acts. But to
every child may come the tempta-
ton to say, "Alan told me to do it,"
or "Myra made me do it."
As any parent knows, tot
trained early to stay out of the
street and not to harm or appro-
pirate the property of the neigh
bors, may begin doing both when he
later plays with other children do
ing such things; or that the same
youngster who had not used obscene
or profane language before may
begin using such language after
hearing it from other children.
Many parents will say it was
easy to manage their child until he
began playing with other children.
And SO some parents almost despair
of being able to do anything about
these matters. Such problems grow
more serious, to be sure. Yet it is de-
sirable and highly possible, in spite
of the influence of other children,
to cultivate in your child response
bility for his own acts. You and |
know some young children who will
not run into the street even when all
their playmates do, or who are
pretty clean in speech in spite of
what they hear from others. In the
following letter we have a sample
of early shifting of blame:

of blaming Mother (me) for every
thing that happens to him. Little
things, mean, like his block house
falling down, or things he can't find

distaste is Mothers fault. And it is
amazing the way he can think OF
reasons why it is my fault.

bothers me. But according to the

Give q Lift To
Winter Meals
BY ALICE DENHOFF

HOW about enlisting the aid OF
the rosy red cranberry to give gay
lift to winter meals? Our first batch
of recipes went over well, so here is
another, geared to making the most
out of table budgets.
There's that old standby, pot
roast, which can bring groans when
it comes to table, or elicit beaming
smiles, if prepared according to a
new recipe. Wash 4 lb. piece of pot
roast with damp cloth. Mix one c.
flour, y tsp. salt, ls tsp. pepper.
Dredge meat. Scar meat until rich
brown color in tbsp. fat, melted.
Place in Dutch oven or in the deep
we'll cooker Of an electric stove. Add
17-oz. can jellied cranberry sauce
or jar whole fruit cranberry sauce,
Il c. water, whole cloves and one
inch stick cinnamon. Cover and
cook over low heat for hours, or
until tender, turning the meat after
IL hours. Remove roast to platter.
Thicken remaining gravy and sea-
son as desired.
Substantial Sandwich
For something different in the
way of substantial sandwich allow
slices bread per person. Arrange
slices of packaged processed mild
cheese and thin slices of jellied cram
berry sauce between 2 slices of but
tered bread. Dip sandwiches into \
well-seasoned French Toast mix
ture of eggs and milk, then brown
on both sides in buttered frying pan.
Serve with strips of bacon if desired.
To glorify frankfurters into reg
ular party fare, pantry or broil
them. Place in buttered toasted
franfurter roll. Then spread on the
"weenies" a topping made up of one
part horseradish and a parts jellied
cranberry sauce, crushed with q
fork. Delicious!
Cranberry fritters are versatile,
since they shape up equally well as
meat accompaniment, or as des-
sert with OF without a liquid sauce
such as pineapple or lemon sauce.
Cut jellied cranberry sauce into
half-inch slices; then divide these
into crosswise halves. Roll in -four,
then dip in fritter batter and cook
either in deep hot fat $3.50 F(, until
golden brown or in a shallow pan
containing little hot fat, turning
to brown on both sides. Drain on
soft crumbled paper and dust with
granulated sugar.
For Ham Slices
Glorify ham slices with cram
berries and honey, real party fare.
For 2 slices ham (s4 to one inch
thick) mix 3 c. cranberries and Ia
C. strained honey. Cut edges of fat
on ham. Place one slice ham in bak-
ing dish; cover with cranberry and
honey mixture. Top with second
slice and cover with remaining mix
ture. Stick 2 tbsp. whole cloves
around edge of ham slices. Bake at
$50 F. until tender-about Ia hr
Baste occasionally with liquid in
dish.
For the grand finale, let's splurgs
with a wonderful pie. Blend u c
sugar and tbsp. cornstarch, add II
c. water; bring to boil. Add 8 c
cranberries and u C. raisins; cool
until cranberry skins pop open. Adc
" c. chopped walnuts and 2 tbsp
butter. Cool but do not stir. Beat
egg whites stiff, gradually, adding
tbsp. brown sugar. Pour filling intt
an S-inch baked pie shell; then pill
meringue in a ring around edge o.
E pie. Bake in 1926 F. oven until colder
-about Is min.

Synopsis: On behalf Of wounded Dicky
Graham. Katharine Beckett, trained nurse.
has contacted private detective to investi-
gate the sudden need Of Dicky's young
nephew. Roderick, for a large amount OF
money. Now closeted with Dicky and his
wife, Madge, in the bedroom of the Graham
Hotel Lanstcld suite. Katharine is telling
them Of her recent interview. He asked
great many questions" she says. He wanted
to know if either of the boys had any weak
nesses which would get him into question
able scrapes on his own account. or il they
were the chivalrous protectors of weaker
schoolmates."
"I DON'T need to ask what your
answer was to that one," Dicky told
Katharine with a confident, affec-
tionate smile. you've known the
boys from their babyhood."
"And loved them," my kins-
woman said, her winsome face illu-
mined with the great affection
which is hers for the children whom
she has cared for so faithfully.
"And you can bet your last cent l
gave your friend, the super sleuth,
an earful. l told him that the boys
were the highest-minded lads to be
found anywhere in the world, but
that they were stuffed so full OF
chivalrous notions that they were
predestined to be suckers for any
hard luck story no matter how
phony."
"What did he say to that?"
"That it must be a colossal hard
luck yarn which called for two hun
dred dollars in twenty dollar bills,
and that it would be an interesting
problem to tackle"
"That sounds like him." Dicky
said. "What other questions did he
ask?"
