(Official City, State and County Newspaper) LOOKING INTO THE ABYSS Drab and ugly, without one relieving flash of lighines is the Chicago murder story in which Mrs. Catherine Cassler has the central part. A year ago Mrs. Cassler was in jail DETROIT Kresge Bidz. entenced to hang for fhe murder of a boarder, whom she was accused of | having killed for his insurance. Some twist of the legal machinery canccied th tence and she w and found a you and pretty girl boarding at his home. Mrs. Cassler is in middie age and is stout. Perhaps she saw, in this charming boarder, an obstacle to the re- sumption of the happiness she once had known. At an Yate, the girl's lifeless body was found beside a roadwa @ few days later. and Mrs. Cassler was re-arrested on a new charge of murder. There is a quecr, dull blackness to this s how. Mrs. Cassler is not getting a great deal of public sympathy. That, ally, is reserved for defendants who are youms and pretty. She is neither; just squat, stolid and hopelessly middle-aged, a woman to whom life had denied many things. “Yet her story—a sordid tale of passion, hatred, di couragement and grasping desire—is one of those things you cannot ignore. It has no “redeeming features,” as a feature writer might say. It is all black and ugly. It is a slice of life, worth studying because it reveals the depths to which human misery and human passions can descend. This world is a queer place, not to be understood by any of us. It has shining heights and squalid dept ne tory, some- horrible in their darkness. Neither can be explained. All| Ti we can do is recognize the fact that they are there. There are strangely beautiful and heart-warming things in life, sometimes. Every man, at one time or another. meets some expericnce, sees some act of heroism or kind, ness or nobility that persuades him that the race is, afte: all, but little lower than tie angels. Then, on the other hand, there are moments when the dreadful abysses that life holds stand fully revealed; mo- ments when we realize that if this earth can be very like heaven, at times, it can also be very like hell. This miserable story from Chicago brings that kind of realization. What can we do about it? Nothing at all. We cannot harmonize it. We cannot explain it. And, if we arc Sensitive, we cannot ignore it. All we can do is recognize the fact that horrible, black things do happen; that side by side with exaltation and achievement there exist dark despair and hopeless, violent | Passion, 5 This, perhaps, will not give us optimism, but may give us something better—tolerance and sympathy. At the very least it will keep us from being deluded about life. And that is something. CUTTING THE DEBT Good stewardship in the federal treasury has made al- most certain another treasury surplus for the fiscal ycar that there can be no certainty as to what congress will do in the way of spending money between now and the end of the current month. Official estimates place-the probable surplus at from $100,000,000 to $150,000,000. It may only be a third of the 1928 surplus, but it is not less gratifying for it comes after much talk of deficits, due to the prodigality of the last Congress with the people's money. It is with common consent that the nation’s surplus Oe eee ate debt. While a direct tax reduction is urgently needed in some quarters, it is generally realized that debt reduction 4s an indirect form of tax reduction. Interest payments constitute @ heavy drain on the federal treasury. Reduction of the public debt by $560,000,090. exclusive of the treasury surplus, will be possible June 30. If the Surplus is $150,000,000, the debt will be cut by $710,000,060. bringing it below $17,006,000,000. It was $26,596,000,000, on August 31, 1919. While the American people are not distressed by a na- tional debt, they urge its early reduction to a point where interest payments will cease to be a major burden. mor <m Qt2 ear WHY NEW YORK IS UNPOPULAR New Yorkers often are both irritated and puzzled at the antagonism toward their city which is felt in the rest of the country. the casino in one of its big parks they will understand. This, as you know, is the great Park set down in the midst of the city to give fresh air, sunlight, gfeen grass and trees to the myriad of poor slum dwellers who would never see them otherwise. In the middle of it is a casino, built on city land and operated under the city’s Guiding hand, where refreshments are served. Recently this casino was overhauled, elaborately fur- nished and made into a very tony and exclusive res- taurant for the “400.” The ordinary man, for whom the Park was laid out, cannot enter it—and couldn't pay the Prices demanded if he did get in. It exists for the mil- Monaires, and for them alone, although it stands on city Jand, in the middle of the poor man’s recreation ground. Would any other city in the country do a thing like this? Not one. New York's action in regard to the casinc helps to explain the anti-New York feeling of the “hinter- Jand.” fie 1 Vis6. s¥essnessssse - PREVENTING FOREST FIRES that will end June 30.

GIANTS CAN BE MADE (Time Magazine) Made to order giants are now feasible, according to a report of the American Philosophical socict To create human giants at will “it will merely be nec to feed babies the anterior lobe of the pituitary glan “More than two years ago,” says the report, “three doc- | tors of the Harvard medical school did a weird decd which they saw fit to keep secret until recently. Two fe- m: English bulldog litter mates were received in the Hi rd laboratory. They were observed and found to srow normally. After a month a needle was thrust daily into the abdominal region of the slightly smaller dog. in- Jecting anterior-lobe extract of cattle's pituitary glands. “Daily the doctors compared their specimens. In a month the smaller puppy had begun to grow faster than the larger one. Soon the smaller Puppy was the larger “In June of the next year came a scorching day. In the morning, as usual, the dogs scampered and trotted out on the laboratory roof. Toward the end of the after- noon the doctors were summoned and there in the sun- shine lay a monstrous dead bulldog, by now twice the weight of her litter mate, a dog fit for baying at enormous moons. In the burning heat her heart and lungs had failed to function for her abnormal, pituitarily overgrown body. Dead though she was however, she had proved it Possible to grow giants in a laboratory.” Perhaps some experimenter has already, toyed with a human in such fashion Riddle of the Carnegie Institution's animal experiment station at Cold Sprihgs Harbor.

They have been making a survey of the downtown district of their city trying to find whether they should permit automebile Parking on business streets, Of course, the argument for Permitting parking is that People who want to do business with downtown mer- chants should not be inconvenienced in the matter of parking their cars. “That raised the question as to how many of the parked cars brought people te do business with the retail merchants. sui és “i As a part of the survey, the cars left in the streets were counted and their license ni termine their ownership.

MASOR> SHE'S ONLY RIBBING You! AVOID SUNBURN The summer sun is now flooding the earth with the full force of its heating and healing rays. Sunlight is essential to life, but too much at one time, when dg not prepared for it, may be harmful. Most of the severe sunburns occur in the early part of the season before the skin becomes tanned. One should always keep in mind that an over- dose of the sun’s rays is always in- jurious. Many people suffer from the mistaken belief that if a little sun- shine is good, a great deal more is better. Extreme sunburn is danger- ous because the pores of the skin be- comes so swollen and injured by the burn that the proper elimination of toxins cannot take place. This has a disastrous effect upon the kidneys by burdening them, with overwork. Even small amount of sunburn affects the body in a proportionate manner. It is much better for one to measure the time of exposure so as to produce @ slightly increasing tan each time than to try to become tanned through only one or two sunburns, Always go into the shade when you notice a quickening of your pulse. When you wish to lie in the sun for a long time, it is better to expose the skin only a short time and the remaining period keep it covered with a blanket or robe. People ave often burned badly on cloudy days, as they are apt to re- main out too long because they do not feel the heat of the sun, but it should be remembered that the ultra-violet ays, which actually produce the burn, do not warm the skin. To keep cool in the summertime it is necessary to reduce the heating foods, such as the starches, sugars and fats to the minimum and drink plenty of pure water and wear cloth- ing as light as possible. No drink is as valuable as plain water, not spoiled by syrup flavors. Unswect- Oa fruit juices may be added if de- sired. During the hot days, it is some- times a good plan to make a luncheon entirely of some of the juicy or leafy green vegetables in a salad form. Severe sunburn should be treated much like any other burn. While sunburn is very painful it is hardly ever serious enough to cause death, although this does occur in some in- stances. Much relief may be had by showers or ice water com- Presses wherever the pain is severe. The skin should be covered with an alkaline oil, such as carron-oil, which is a mixture of limewater and linseed oil. This is obtainable at any drug- store, and will keep out the air, and at the same time neutralize some of ste acid products of the decomposing It is much the better plan to take the sunshine in small doses and in this way avoid the unpleasant effect of sunburn, heat exhaustion or sun- stroke. Enjoy the valuable summer- time, and avoid the suffering- caused by lack of judgment. which are thought the vitamins, You WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12, 1999 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Diabetes Question—W. R.

I pull the hairs out ev- ery day but they keep coming back. I am only eighteen, and am so ashamed of my appearance, Can't you help me?” Answer—The electric needle is the only sure means of killing superflu- ous hair, but you will be able to some- what discourage the growth of these hairs if you will use one of the rosin and wax preparations now on the market. This comes in a cake, and the warmed wax is put on the face where there is hair. As soon as it cools, the wax plaster is pulled off, bringing the hairs wih it, and mak- ing a much better job of it than you can do with the tweezers. You will need to use this preparation only about once a week to keep down the growth, during which time it will gradually become less.

A year before it had passed from Dutch control— under the name, New Amsterdam—to the English. Under the original charter, which went into effect 264 years ago today, “Canada has done more in helping the enforcement of prohibition in the United States than the government ne ag United States has been able the Canadian government is nothing but a confession of weakness on the part of the United States, and an example of the complete failure of The prese1 on the mayor and aldermen were to be | 7] appointed by the governor of the Congressman from New Yorke ot province.
