Here is a letter l received re-
Gently from a young lady who
has decided that she will moi
allow any surgeon to remove her
gall bladder. She is under the
impression that all gall bladder
trouble can be cured by medical
rather than by surgical meaEs
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: A short
time ago my sister told me about
seeing column of yours on gall
bladder and liver trouble. She
said that you knew that the
diseased gall bladder could be
cured without knife.
l will NOT have an operation
My trouble is of long standing
would be so happy if this
trouble might be cleared up.

most custards. Can't eat fruits
too well, either. Many vegetables
bother me. can't eat anythine
fried or fresh-baked. l have a
hard spot in the pit of my
stomach most of the time. Can
you help me? Mrs. P. S. j"
Answer: Your misconception
needs Strengthening out right
away. Like the story Of the fish
that grew larger and larger with
repeated telling, what l have
said about the treatment of gall
bladder disease seems to have
gotten way out of bounds.
According to what was told
you by your sisters: "She said
that YOU knew that the diseased
gall bladder could be cured
without a knife"
To come to the point: l have
never said, written or believed
that. Any other readers who are
stubbornly resisting good surgical
advice and refusing necessary
operation for the same reason
had better read carefully.

great munitions makers to sup
ply the necessary arms-but on
a local hardware company.
The hardware which Gen
Estrada ordered included 400
Springfield rifles and 10000
rounds of 80 caliber ammuni-
ton. two Marlin machine guns
5000 rounds of machine-gun
ammunition. 800 pounds of dyna-
mite, and pipe fittings and sheet
iron suitable for do-it-yourself
aerial bombs. Estrada and his
staff had on order an air force
of four Ryan monoplanes COM
plete with three aviators; an
armored task force of two 21a
ton armored trucks: and a supply
train of five used trucks.
The advance echelon of the
invasion army rolled out of Los
Angeles on August IA, composed
of two trucks loaded with arms
and ammunition, and an auto
mobile. Unnoticed in the traffic
behind them were three auto
mobiles carrying FBI agents. Of
ficers from the Los Angeles police
force. and agents of the Pacific
Coast Auto Underwriters.

Next day. Estrada's main army
assembled in Los Angeles, num-
bering some lis. Of went the
convoy toward the Mexican
border.
The ammunition train reached
the rendezvous point on schedule
and waited for the arrival of the
general staff and the troops. But
the enemy, infiltrating and at
lacking from the rear, overran
the entire train without shot
fired. In the busy hours that fol-
lowed, officers captured the gen.
eral, his ground forces. his armor
and his air force. picking them
of piecemeal, as military men
say.
And SO ended a dream of rev.

very trivial and that Linda is
making too much of an issue out

have some annoying habits and
this surely isn't the worst OF

Linda is justified to some ex-

women would dislike it and Ear
should be a little more sympa-

ments indicate that she has tried
to live up to the letter Of the
law on the subject-but perhaps
not the spirit. Linda lists the
things she has done for her
Imother-i law, but gives no in
dication that she likes, under

woman.
Earl sees his mothers habit as

should be- Perhaps if Linda
learned to know and like her
mother law, she would see it
in the same light. If a really
warm relationship existed be-

find the habit merely amusing
Or she might not be afraid to
give a gentle hint that she
doesn't like to have things

AS things stand now. Linda is
afraid of revealing her under

from earning limits provided in
the Social Security law.
In general, the law provides
that you're not entitled to b full
~ months of Social Security If
you're under 70 and you had
earnings of more than $1,000 q
year. If you're 70 or over. their
is no limit on your earnings for
you to be eligible for checks every
month.
Broad Exceptional
However, having more than
81 200 a year in earnings doesn't
rule you out of all your checks.
The rule is trat for each $50 or
part of $50 you earn above 81 200.
you lose one months check.
Thus, generally, to be denied
all IL checks your total earnings
for the year must be at least
S2.080,O1.
However. there's a broad ex-
ception to this rule if you work
for someone else:
If you don't earn $50 in q
particular month. no matter
what your earnings total for
the year, you're eligible for a
check that month.
For example: Suppose you
work at a summer resort during
the months of July. August and
September and you make $500
per month. Then. during the
other nine months. you have no
earnings. You're eligible for nine
checks.
Ard, there's a broad excep-
ton for self-empldyed persons:
If you earn more than $1,000
in self employment. and you
render substantial services"
during any month of the year,
you may be found ineligible for
one or more checks. But. for any
month in which you don't render
substantial services" no matter
what your earnings total for the
year, you're eligible for a check
that month.

holy alliances with crooked
politicians, crooked lawyers
crooked doctors and crooked
police. The gangsters' revenues
from bootleg whisky, beer
alcohol, robberies, prostitution
gambling, narcotics and protec-
ton rackets ran to uncounteo
hundreds Of millions of dollars.
Curiously, the FBI was power
less to move against these under
world empires unless and until
the gangs violated a Federal law
such as the Antitrust Act, which
forbids restraint of interstate
commerce.
Trapped by Taxes
Capone was virtually untouch-
able for years. But finally the
FBI produced the evidence that
got him a contempt of court
charge when he failed to appear
as witness in a prohibition
case in Chicago. While he was
serving six months in Jail he
was charged with income tax
evasion. The one-time bawdy-
house errand boy couldn't beat
this rap. He was sent to prison
for 10 years.
The reason for the rise OF
gangsteriSm in the 1920s is still
disputed-but there is no dispute
that its beginning conceded with

war and with the arrival of ma
tional Prohibition

A S4d-a-week Prohibition agent
or policeman could earn hun
dredS of dollars a week merely
by looking the other way at the
right time. The truth was that
the public. generally, was
apathetic about crime. even
though holnicides in 1926 had
reached the staggering rate OF
1900 a year. Ganeland mas
sacreS were commonplace. In the
Chicago area alone during 80
months of 1924-26. there were
81 gangland murders and 30 per
cent of them were unsolved.

Mr.. Hoover received the shock
