T. Everhart, for- mer Secretaray Fall’s son-in-law, to testify for the government in the Fall-Sinclair trial with- out incriminating himself, serves to call atten- tion once again to a detail of our criminal pro- cedure which-always will seem incomprehen- sible and useless to the layman. fi That detail is the legal quirk which permits # man accused of crime to refuse to testify, but which does not allow the jury to hold this ; ugainst him when it deliberates its verdict. Everhart’s case, of course, is different; not secused of crime himself, he has refused to tes- tify on the ground that he would incriminate himself by-so doing. The Walsh bill will pre- vent him from giving this excuse any longer. It will not, however, affect the underlying sit- uation—the “constitutional immunity” enjoyed by all defendants and all witnesses. Originally, one imagines, the law excusing a prisoner from testifying was devised to pre- vent the possibility of torture being used to ex- tort a'confession. It was not so many genera- tions ago that the rack and whip were consid- ered essential adjuncts of any well-ordered court. But we have progressed a bit since then. No prisoner, called into an American court, need ‘fear that judge and prosecutor will stop the trial and affix the thumbscrews to get him to tell his story. And so, we ask, why not abolish, or at least radically modify, the whole “constitutional im- munity” business? If a man accused of mur- der, or bribery, -refrains from testifying in his own behalf, why not allow the prosecutor to draw for the jury’s benefit the logical de- duction—that the prisoner is guilty and knows that any story he might tell on the witness stand would make the fact plain? The present: system is a fine one for guilty men and unscrupulous/lawyers. We fail to see fi _ how it greatly benefits innocent men who are’ |’ wrongly accused; such men ought to be glad to \ testify. And we fail also to see how it bene- fits society as a whole. \ { So All May Eat Sige farms of the United States produced jis year sore than eight thousand million dollars’ worth of foodstuffs and raw materials for the making of clothing and other necessary articles. That tremendous volume of wealth ‘was literally created; it represented no mere i of money or clever bookkeeping to the appearance of enrichment. In these astounding achievements of agri- culture are found the bases of the prosperity | and the greatness of the nation. The assur- _ ance of food heartens everyone. Nobody need ‘be hungry. Then all may strive together, each in his peculiar’ way. The miners may forth the ore; the craftsmen may fashion # it, Foresters may bring timber, and the builders shape it: All the activities in which : peoples busy themselves may go for- ward to produce the tremendous output and income of our miraculous country because the ‘workers can be fed. This is the reason that agriculture always been held in respect in America. The peo- of the United States know the source of bread and butter. : A School For Courting ae: ie Elizabeth Murray) Why not run a school for courting? I’m sure {t's needed. We could have men and women instructors. The men would be dealt with by - one of their own kind first and advised as to style, whether cave men, forlorn, or dashing, according to their outward appearance. Then as they improved they would pass on to the women teachers. The course would take you right from the first address to the altar steps, most useful for of both sexes. “Be necessary assurance.” 2 ~ We can have practise night for old pupils » keep their hands in.

And the world is more and more agreeing with it. Styles in Heroism Colonel Lindbergh, saying good-bye to Mex- ico and sailing away to regions farther south, where even thicker fogs of suspicion and mis- understanding ‘remain to be cleared up be- tween the United States and the Latin repub- lics, still maintains his remarkable moral equi- librium. Nothing seems to dazzle him. Noth- ing can flatter him. Nothing seems to disturb 2.60)his mental balance or alter his manner of be- 1.60| havior or trick him into any slight exhibition of vanity or bad taste. This surely indicates a new, or at least an unfamiliar, kind of hero- ism. A good many men who cheerfully faced bullets and the chances of death have gone the |down, so to speak, before the plaudits of ad- miring crowds and never were quite the same again. All this reminds us that styles of heroism change. There was a time when the heights of glory seemed to be reached by men who won a football game by some sudden use of skill or courage. The world war taught us that larger things are possible. The soldiers who stood in the trenches and weren’t appalled by the pros- pect immediately before them will probably re- main to the end of time the supreme examples of heroism. But it is heroic, too, to stand up unshaken and unappalled and to be quiet and careless and without vanity when the world is doing everything that it can to make you vain, Two can live as cheaply as one: until the bills start coming in. | Editorial Comment | Lindbergh’s Responsibility : (New York Times) In Colonel Lindbergh’s account of his flight and of his plans, as telegraphed to the New York Times, it is easy to see that he is not blind to the risks which he is taking. Speak- ing of the possibilities of a regular commercial air service between the Unted States and Mex- ico, he referred to the “three-motored plane” as the type desirable to use. And he frankly states that “flying a single-motored plane over’ mountains and jungles cannot be regarded as safe flying.” He does not admit that in his own case it is especially dangerous. But he is perfectly aware that he might meet with what he calls a “mishap,” and stipulates in| {4 advance that if one should befall him it should not be looked upon as “a blow to commercial flying.” These remarks of the intrepid young avia- tor savor of the engaging quality which marks almost all that he says or writes. He has set out to do a certain thing, and light-heartedly puts aside its hazards. Not that he does not take them into his reckoning, or study care- fully how to avoid them. People still speak of “Lindbergh luck,” but it consists largely in taking immense pains, preparing everything in advance as carefully as possible, and mak- ing assurance a before each adven- ture. But it may that he does not fully realize the extraordinary representative capaci- ty in which he has come to stand. He is so entirely associated in the public mind with commercial flying that any accident befalling him would be regarded not only as a personal disaster striking home to the hearts of mii- lions, but as a most unfortunate setback to Peace-time aviation. This is the reason why his flights in Central America will be followed with anxiety, mingled with pride and admira- tion, and why he will be silently adjured by the vast multitude of his observers to run no un- necessary risk, and to do all in his power to| bo: keep his splendid record of safety intact. We know that he is as prudent as he is daring, and we can only express the hope that good fortune may continue to sit on the prow of the Spirit of St. Louis, What's All the Ado About? (Minneapolis Journal) St. Paul’s newspapers and civic leaders—or 80 it would seem to an outside observer—are making, over the commerce department’s 1927 Population estimate, a fuss out of all propor- tion to the subject’s importance. he government, in these new estimates, credits St. Paul with a population some thirty pena a ome ae the a which this city claims for itself. ic] ncy stirs St. Paul to resentment. er But in the same estimates, the government credits Minneapolis with a population forty- four thousand less than lis claims on a city directory basis, and more than fifty thousand less than Minneapolis claims in other uneticisl cstimatcs. iscrepancy stirs Minneapolis little or not at all.

Selma Pruitt’s initials were stamped in, gold beneath the lock, and the sane part of her tortu: brain cautioned her to register under a name which would fit the initials, S. P. She had slipped off her wedding ring before the car had reached Darrow, and it was with a smile of approval at her own cleverness that she wrote, in a careful backhand, very much unlike her natural, free-flowing, forward-slanting handwriting, the name, “Miss Stella Pringle, Chi- cago, “Room _ with bath?” the clerk repeated affably. “Certainly, Miss Pringle.

No doubt mapy rs have given up the use of diet treatment. principally because these old theories have not been found to be helpful when ap- plied to the patient. Thousands of books have been written about diet and food, but so many have been only copies of oth- er books mph © published with little jitional §material gleaned from original research. To the earnest searcher after truth, theories about any subject are of course interesting; but these theories so often must give way to the result of practical experience! If the original thinker and ob- server attempts to publish a book with new ideas, such a book is im- mediately frowned upon ‘by the s0- called authorities whose sole claim for being’ called “authorities” lies in the fact that they teach, and oft- en_believe, worn-out theories. The progressive is always the one who in his earnest zeal pushes the car of progress farther up the hill, while the conservative er is no doubt of equal help in finally blocking the wheels and Lea | what has been gained. All the work of achievement is, however, done by the revolutionary mind of the scientist who is looking mostly for practical truths. In the realm of food science the most noteworthy contributions have been made by laymen or physicians not recognized by the orthodox medical societies.

Dewey, Tanner, Hazard, Eales, Tilden, Alsaker, and Brook; also/ Upton’ ‘Sinclair, Alfred McCann, | Bernarr Macfadden, Milo Hastings, Arnold Ehret, Haskell, and Carring- ton.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ition: Edw. F. writes: “Con- side that the presence of lactic acid will prevent the of ‘active bacteria, would not the periodical introduction of milk or sour milk into the large intestine (by means of the rectum) prevent auto-intoxication? Of course, such practice is not intended to take the place of the pore ca food, nor to prevent of cure constipation. But would it not offer a fertile field for the development of B acidolphilus which would check the decomposition of the intestinal res- idue, thereby preventing auto-in- toxication?” Answer: I have found that enemas with the whey from sour milk are sometimes effective in checking bacterial putrefaction in the colon. This treatment, however, is only temporary, and is always unneces- sary if one will make = study of scientific dietetics and eat the right kind of food and foods in proper combination. Question: H.

AS TO THE PURPOSE WHICH A NOVEL SHOULD SERVE BY THE NEA BOOK SURVEY After a year in. which thousands of trifles and less-than-trifles con-| be stituted the major portion of a colossal book output, it is comfort- ing to find two spokesmen of our own fluctuating point of view. On one hand is Joseph Herges- heimer, in the current American Mercury, upholding what we have long considered the finest presenta- tion of what novelistic aims should be, to wit: James Branch Cabell’s “Beyond Life” and the essays by| this same writer in “Straws and Prayerbooks.” ; On the othar hand is Upton Sin- clair, still brandishing his crusad- er’s sword in a volume titled, “Money Writes!” (A. and C. Boni). At various times Sinclair. has turned his attention to the Chicago [mapgennt the newspapers, the Amer- ican universities, the money powers, and all that. Though the pen may be mightier than the sword, it is Sinclair’s conviction that gold is mightier than the pen. Hence, says he, the young idea is owned body and soul before it starts, “I plead with the young writer to ident himself with the real ideas of . awakeni industrial democ- acy,” he outs. “The artist should produce whole-heartedly for whole of mankind instead of with greed and contempt for a preety and contemptuous group— that is precisely the difference be- tween a basis for true art and a basis for false art.” * © that brings us to Silas Bent’s “Ballyhoo!” (Boni-Liveright). May- you like newspapers and maybe you don’t, but since they play so important a part in civil and indi- vidual life, you may be interested in how they get that way and what they are. And that’s what Bent sets out to state. He isn’t press polite about it. It’s an old i- tion that newspapermen can and do say what they want about Fh ior among each other, but the ute someone else says it their backs are up. They have a_ sentimental at- tachment even to the most mongrel yellow pup that flares its type. Bent makes his bow with the statement that this book is “a con- spectus of the modern metropoli newspapers.” He shows us certain tabloids going in for those gosh- awfdl “composograph” covers, takes up mass production, syndica- tion, the Washington correspondent system and such, : He tells of the coming of broad- casting and radio photos. He deals with reporters “t! and now”— and since Bent belongs to the “then,” the “now” doesn’t get the best of it. The book is absorbing and pieasingly objective in its ap- proach, AIR LINES IN HAWAII Honolulu.—What promises to be a forerunner of commercial aviation in Hawaii is the establishment of an airplane service for visitors who desire to see lands from the We sympathize to some extent] the vario with the general notion. All work- ers and no players makes Jack a dull booksmith, so far as we are . There ig a field for hy ls to the subway builder, the yscraper heroes, the symbols of the machine age, the Utopians and the class strugglers. i Our own preference in_ novels leans, however, in the direction pointed by Cabell in “Beyond Life,” wherein he advises us: that the of im-: eape for those whose lives come in constant contact with the struggles that the Sinclairs prefer to Pareey Hergesheimer, in defining Cabell, also defines He: rr, who seems to us.to have been gradually tallies away since “The Bright Shawl.” Sinclair spouts of what the artist should do, but Herge- heimer points out: “No one hi been tl enough to i art. . . . beauty and art, like the blaze of Ve sun, transcend the ol ee ee eimer advocates objective He sees a “tragic ° crepancy bebwnee reality and what is the writer.” If there were @ iy a
