But before you read St, consider these fairly well-known facts: Police officers and detectives are maintained to ar- rest lawbreakers. Carrying loaded revolvers is against the law. So is making whiskey or beer. So is the sell- ing of these commodities. So is murder. Got those? All right. Now for the story. In Chieago the other day there was buried a gentle- man named Lombardo, who had been shot down, in bright daylight, at the world’s busiest street corner. Lombardo was a gunman, gangster, beer runner, and 0 on. His funeral, consequently, was far grander than most law-abiding citizens can ever aspire to. There were 12 pallbearers, in tuxedoes. The very cream of Chicago’s underworld was present. The crowning glory lay in the fact that Al Capone himself was present, in person. This great man mingled with the throngs, sur- rounded by an alert bodyguard. He was affable and peaceable. During all of this, of course, throngs of police and de- tectives stalked about through the crowds. It is hard to make out just what they were doing there, but they + went, anyway. : A reporter who attended remarks that all the mourn- | ers shook hands with their left hands. The right hands, Ht seems, were rexerved for the sudden use of pistols, : should that become advisable. 1 Now, viewing this story in the light of the facts about 1 police and lawbreakers detailed at the beginning, what {do you make of all of this? Capone is the greatest gunman, beer runner, extor- i tioner and vice king in Chicago—unless all men have lied about him. , Present with him were hosts of lesser criminals. a There were enough guns at the funeral to stock an Carsenal. And, likewise, there were enough police there “to handle a battle of Gettysburg. } Yet nobody was arrested or bothered. When Capone thad viewed the remains sufficiently he went away in t peace. So did his followers. The police manfully re- j Bisted any temptation to spoil the occasion by making y ariests, 1 Solve this little puzzle, so vexing to us average men, ‘and you will solve the whole puzzle of America’s crime ‘waves.

But did it ever occur to you that there are times when a willful, reckless disobedience is fone of the finest qualities a man can exhibit? ¥ An Italian submarine, maneuvering off the coast of Bpezia recently, got stuck in the mud at the bottom. Officers and men tried to work it loose, failed, and pre- Ai a to die in the unpleasant way the crews of sunken Submarines must die. ‘There was another submarine in the vicinity, and its pommander discovered what had happened. I Now Italian naval rules provide that no submarine © Stommander may try to salvage the wreck on another. ™Bubmarines are too costly and fragile for that sort of © giwork; all that a commander may do is radio for help m the nearest naval base. , But this commander knew how to break a rule or two the time came. Instead of calling help, he went n to the disabled submarine. By careful maneuver- dng he got the nose of his own ship against the sunken of the other, and pushed it loose. After an hour of ish work he freed it, and both submarines came ly to the surface, ‘ 4f he had obeyed the rules, rescue ships would have d in 24 hours or so, and the divers would ha to work, Probably they would have raised the cen sub eventually; but, as sometimes happens in one canes, her crew might have been dead.

THE BOULDER DAM Before congress convenes in De: tain all possible information relating to the proposed | dam at Boulder Canyon. It is needed to enable the sen- Rot urgent, question. Debate on the bill, which passed the house end was made unfinished business on the sen- |ate calendar, demonstrated conclusively that nobody except representatives from the Colorado river states were familiar enough with all phases of the project to | form judgment upon its practicability or upon the wis- dom of carrying it out if practicable. | The most serious issue raised was as to the feasibil- | ity of the enterprise from an engineering standpoint. When engineers of the highest standing throw doubt on | whether it is possible to construct the dam at all and | when a committee of the American Engineering Council declares that the plans should be subjected to a much more thorough study before adoption, the senate cer- tainly would net be justified in going ahead until doubts are removed. Fear of “power trust” propaganda should not be per- | mitted to hurry the government into an enterprise which might prove to be a vast waste of public money. Be- fore proceeding with so huge an outlay the senate should take the precautions that would be observed by prudent business men and be guided by the weight of ex- pert scientific and engineering opinion. Before the senate again takes up the discussion, the presidential election will be over. There will be no ex- cuse for making the dam @ political toy. AMELIA’S PROFESSION If the grandparents of the well-known Miss Amelia Earhart could have foreseen the sort of career their descendant would have they doubtless would have been stupefied beyond the power of speech. In their day no woman ever sought a “career” un- less impelled by bitter necessity; and then the anly things open to her were such jobs as governess, seam- stress and schoolma’am. But Miss Earhart blithely flies across the Atlantic and then accepts a job as associate editor of the Cos- mopolitan magazine, to handle a new department de- voted to aviation. Primitive man didn’t talk so much about sex. His vocabulary was limited. | Editorial Comment | i! HIDEBOUND OR ICEBOUND (Minneapolis Journal) In Milwaul! 4 port on the Great Lakes whose total tonnage of waterborne commerce is between seven and eight million short tons, the Mil Journal op- poses @ nine-foot channel for the pi River be- tween the Missouri and Minneapo Its chief argu- ment is that winter stops the use of the river for half of the year. The nine-foot channel Project, says the Milwaukee paper, “will cost millions and yield a line of barges held fast in the ice.” The Milwaukee paper opposed other waterway im- Provements—on rivers in the Middle West. But it says nothing against improvement of the Milwaukee harbor, and it makes no reference to the fact that winter stops commerce on the Great Lakes, too. In spite of winter, Duluth’s tonnage runs above fifty millions, annually, which is about seven times that of Milwaukee. Does the Milwaukee Journal oppose the St. Lawrence Waterway projet with the same icebound argument? GAME REFUGES (Devils Lake Journal) Some misunderstanding appears to exist regarding the policy of the State Game and Fish commis: sisted by the Izaak Walton League of Ameri ing a number of game refuges in various parts of the especially in Ramsey county. Many hunters com- that these refuges are depriving them of shoot- ing grounds, while a number of farmers claim that the creation of refuges tends to so increase grouse, ducks and geese as to endanger their crops. There was a time, not so long ago, when a game refuge was practically unknown in North Dakota, and that was the time when the state, more especially the Lake Region, was the feeding, nesting and resting haven for millions of wild ducks and geese. In those days, some acres of grain crops were destroyed annually, the old timers tell us, especially by the great flocks of geese that swarmed on the farms from the south in the springtime and again in the early fall when they passed through here on their way south from Canada. The Lake Region in those days, we are told, was the hunting paradise of the Northwest, and probably of the GHB partons h 1 Since then, geese have almost disappeared as a game bird, while the number of ducks is decreasing each year.

Both sides in a national campaign customarily and to an almost incred- ible degree act like a lot of dumb doras, Consider the second point first. An experienced and practical po! tician just remarked to your cor- respondent that he had never seen so many “boners pulled” by both sides in a national campaign as in the last couple of months. It equally apparent to the casual ol server that the blunders of omis- sion committed by the national cdm- Ppaign organizations are numerous. Of course, all the best bets aren't overlooked, but a lot of them are. Some day the present system of shooting wads of money, literature and oratory here and there and leav- ing the party’s fate livres to state committees of all degrees of efficiency probably will be replaced by scientific national management. Possibly Democratic Chairman Ras- kob is leading the way to that new era, eee Herbert Hoover said the other day through his press conference spokes- man, that “whispering campaigns” were as old as politics. He might have added truthfully that such tac- tics, however virtuously the ¢andi- dates and national chairmen might repudiate them, have not actually been scorned by the party organiza- tions, Unquestionably there are many men in politics who would not them- selves stoop; to such methods and others who would not condone their use by less scrupulous men, but the chines over the country is such com- mon knowledge that it is idle to suggest that there are not many poli- ticians in both parties who are glad to take unfair advantages just as often as they get the chance. Poli- tics is a livelihood for many men, and some of them will go a long way to save their Jobs.

While diabetes insipidus _re- sembles diabetes mellitus in that it Produces an excessive quantity of urine, it is not such a serious dis- order and in fact is not the first stage of diabetes mellitus as one might be led to believe from the name “insipidus.” Both, diseases are chacterized by a copious secretion of urine, often twenty to forty pints being eliminated each day. In many cases more passes away from the body than is ingested in liquids and solids. The mouth is usually dry, the amount of saliva small, and there is an excessive thirst which is no doubt caused by the discha: of such enormous quantities of wa- ter from the body. Only a chemical analysis can distinguish between the two disorders, The urine in diabetes insipidus has a lessened specific gravity and an absence of sugar, while in dia- betes mellitus there is usually a higher specific gravity and a large ce da of sugar both in blood and urine.

These sensations are carried by nerves to the brain, where they register and start chan- nels of impulses which may cause us to perform very complicated physical movements.

Probably the first know! that a baby has of the external world comes to it through its sense of touch.
