Al Capone, the beer baron of Cook county, Illinois, and super-gangman, had hardly pleaded guilty to federal charges before the underworld elected a new king to di- rect its various rackets. Following on the heels of Capone's arrest was that of “Dutch” Schultz, a Bronx Gangs that made his reign possible met also and named their new “big- fellow.” Johnny Torrio, “The Immune,” is to take up the racket where Capone laid it down and “Dutch” will find an able successor in Vincent Coll. Unless the succession in gangland is smashed, the federal authorities have merely scotched the snake. The federal government through the income tax bu- reau found a very powerful weapon against gangland. For years baotleggers have been evading income taxes, evidently with impunity. Something has happened in the administration of the tax department of the federal government. There is evidently a very healthy hook-up between the income and the prohibition sleuths. That. is as it should be. The whole nasty business should be closed up and the big and small city gangs put out of business. It is going to take time, but the first step is to squelch gang succession. There are many ugly rackets which do not involve liquor running. In many of the large cities legitimate business pays heavy tribute to hoodlums, Chicago and New York are the places where the racketeers have prospered. Some businessmen have been forced to pay dearly to operate. Millions in graft have been collected under the noses of conniving police, some of whom shared in the filthy spoils, If every police official were as fearless as Com- missioner Mulrooney of New York whose orders are: ably picture a man who was liberal with spending money, who was partial to sports and none too strict! about splitting the wood or mowing the lawn. i Such characteristics are doubtless necessary in the man who would make a companion of his boy, but the, real qualities of an ideal father lie deeper than merely those bents of mind which touch on the pleasures of life. If a Boy Scout should be asked to enumerate sed qualifications of an ideal father he would, without hesi-/ tation, search for the desired characteristics in the Scout} Law. This law was written for boys, but it has a unt- versal application and can be applied with equal force to the lives of men. This law demands that the boy who takes the Scout Oath must be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, reverent. | If a father would keep the respect of his son he must) be trustworthy in all of his relations at home and out-/ side. He must be loyal to his family, his associates and) his country. He should be helpful, friendly, courteous | and kind, not only to the members of his own circle, but) to all men and living creatures with whom he comes in contact. He must be obedient to the laws of God and to the laws of his country if he would inculcate respect) for legal restraints into the heart of his son. He must) be cheerful, even if cheerfulness is an effort when life's trials are hardest, because cheerfulness makes for com-) panionship, and companionship generates that flame in| which is forged those hooks of steel by which a father/ may grapple the soul of a son to his own heart. | He should be thrifty, because thrift is one of the vir-| tues that lead to contentment and peace of mind. He) must be brave, because these times demand strong men | with opinions and a will, who are “able to live above the fog in public duty and in private thinking.” He must, be clean, because only thus can he hope, through his/ daily contacts, to build such habits into the life of a son. He must be reverent in his attitude toward the laws of God, because these laws underlie every element of life.) There is only one perfect Father, as there has been only; one perfect Son in the history of the world. No human, father can be divine, but he can pattern his fatherhood) after the One most perfect and so, by his life, set an/ example which he would be unashamed to have his own} ‘son follow. President Hoover’s Latest Move World conditions are chaotic and call for strong rem- @dies. President Hoover believes he has a specific for some of the economic ills in proposing to postpone Ger- many’s reparation payments one year from this July. He is grasping at a straw, as it were, in hope that sur- cease from the war debts for even a year may assist Eu- rope to regain her financial equilibrium. It is too early to know whether the remedy proposed | {will hurt or help the patients involved. The whole! ‘world is enmeshed in the economic tangle which the pay- ment of war obligations entails, The reaction to! Hoover's proposal has been good. Flurries in the stock markets, however, may mean little. The essential factor is the reception the Hoover pro- posal received in the capitals of the world. There seems to be a general opiniog that the American executive is on the right track. ‘There can be no immediate decision. The United) States senate must ratify any modification of the rev-! erations agreement. President Hoover is of the belief) that this body, the majority of which has fought him on; most issues, will agree to his general proposal. Indica- tions are that England and France may agree, although France is always an uncertain quantity and has been most obdurate on the question of payments to her, while quite ready to delay payment of her war obligations to others. What leaders fear is the financial collapse of Ger-) ‘many if reparation payments are insisted upon without| some temporgry abatement such as President Hoover Buggests. That would strengthen the hands of the Com- munists who have made rapid strides recently. Unofficially, President Hoover's proposal has been re- ceived kindly in France. One leading Paris newspaper bays: “It constitutes the first gesture toward a new exam- Srtnation of the reparation and debt question.” pod Russian leaders are urging Germany to unite in revo- thdution and thus cut “the Gordian knot of the German Bangle.” Ger- the has had financial support from this nation. Re- wife diation of her obligations through a governmental exclueet would work havoc in American financial circles. All .sident Hoover has sounded the alarm to congres- the $nal leaders and if rumor can be believed, he has im-| sessed them with the necessity of some drastic action notwithout delay. Mexico, Too, Builds Tariff Wall With the ultimate purpose of making Mexico agricul- turally self-sufficient, the government of that country 4s pushing @ policy of agricultural education and land settlement, at the same time establishing a quarantine against the importation of wheat and corn. Tariff duties have been increased from 25 to 100 per cent on lard, bacon, ham, fruits, eggs, and vegetable oils, most of which were imported from the United States. Mexico's agricultural expansion, coupled with the new tariff policy, will doubtless mean # considerable loss to the farmers of the United States. Mexico is primarily agricultural, but the people of that nation found it convenient to import many of their food ts from this country, making payment there- for in such of her own raw materials as silver, lead, gold, copper, petroleum, tropical fruits, coffee, bananas end “The minute they bat an eye lock ’em right up,” there would be an end to much of the racketeering. The federal government has demonstrated to the po- lice of the nation that gangsters are not above the law. Any city with an honest, courageous police administra- tion can rout gangland. Break the tie between dirty politics and the racketeer; then the battle is more than half won. How to Go Broke on the Farm Any farmer can enumerate more than 10 ways to go broke on the farm, in these days of high taxes and low prices; but the ones pointed out by the State Agricul- tural College of Tennessee are about as effective as: any that could be suggested. The “10 ways to go broke” copied herewith do not all apply to North Dakota con- ditions, but most of them do. Here they are: 1, Grow only one crop. 2. Keep no livestock. 3. Regard chickens and a garden as nuisances. 4, Take everything from the soil and return nothing. 5. Don’t stop gullies or grow cover crops—let the top- soil wash away, then you will have “bottom land.” 6. Don't plan your farm operations. It’s hard work) thinking—trust to luck. 7. Regard your woodland as you would a coal mine: cut every tree, sell the timber. 8. Hold fast to the idea that the methods of your grandfather are good enough for you. 9. Be independent—don't join with your neighbors in any form of cooperation. 10. Mortgage your farm for every dollar it will stand to buy things you would have cash to pay for if you fol- lowed a good system of farming. Arthur M. Hyde, secretary of agriculture, has an- nounced the creation of the Bureau of Agricultural En- gineering, which will come into existence July 1. The bureau will continue as a part of the Department of Agriculture and will be under the direction of 5. H. Mc- Crory, who has been a valued member of that depart- ment for 24 years. The activities of the new bureau will, for the present, be devoted to the combating of crop pests, control of soil erosion, improving machinery for the distribution of fertilizer and experimental studies in cot- ton ginning. Some of us fail because we never recognize Opportun-| ity until we see her back. Seems easy to get men to run for office because very few run from office. Editorial Comment Editorials printed _below show the trend of thought by other editors. They are published without rega to whether they agree or disagree with The Trib- e Aviation’s Progress (Minneapolis Tribune) The progress of aviation in the United States during the past five years as revealed by a recently prepared Department of Commerce table is little less than as- tounding. The table shows, for example, that domestic airway mileage jumped from 8,252 in 1926 to 29,887 in| 1930, a gain well in excess of 200 per cent. Over the same period the mileage of foreign airway extensions, increased from a mere 152 to the amazing total of 19,662. Similarly express and freight carried by the nation’s air. lines rose from 1,733,090 pounds in 1926 to 2,86955 in 1930; mail carried by contractors increased from 377,206 pounds to 8,513,675 pounds in the same time; gasoline consumed by aircraft in scheduled operations grew from 863,617 gallons in 1926 to 14,549,477 in 1930, and the pe- riod saw the average of miles flown dally grow from. an inconsequential 11,830 to the formidable total of 101,220. In the face of such figures as , it is just a trifle difficult to believe with some skeptics that the future of commercial aviation has been vastly exaggerated and over-rated. The gains recorded in the five-year period are s0 consistently huge as to make one wonder, as a matter of fact, whether the potentialities of commercial aviation have ever been generally appreciated. The fact’ that these gains continued in 1930, and that in many re- spects the industry fared better in that year of depres- sion than it did in the preceding one of prosperity, is in itself evidence of an unusually sturdy growth. Today this country can boast 1,819 airports, 15,300 miles of lighted airways, and 44 companies operating 650 planes valued at $14,000,000 over 125 routes. Furthermore it can point to @ record, for the latter half of 1930, of only one fatality to every 18,000,000 miles flown over air lines by licensed planes. It is inthe steady progress which aviation has made in the field of safety that we can probably find the key to the remarkable progress which the industry as a whole has made during the past five years. While the period has witnessed many spectacular and tragic mishaps, the fact should not be ignored that each year has been marked by most impressive safety gains. When 672 army planes can take part in intricate and prolonged ma- neuvers over @ considerable area of the country without the loss of a single life or the destruction of # single machine, there seems to be good reason for believing: that the hazards of aviation, which constitute its great- est problem, are being successfully attacked.

New York, June 24.—Odds and ends —but chiefly odds: Otto Kahn, one of the suavest of Manhattan's speakers, is said to have swooned from stage fright on the oc- casion of his first public speech. Which recalls to mind that some- one told me lately of a certain Sain- uel Kayzer, who is said to have coached vast numbers of prominent speakers, including Mons. Kahn. Kayzer is now out Hollywood curing the new talkie players of speech dif- ficulties. It is none other than the famous Leslie Carter, however, who is credited with giving voice advice to Norma Talmadge. Laura Hope Crewes, another Broadway veteran, put Gloria Swanson over the first time high hurdles. Tilly Losch, the Austrian dance: with just about the loveliest hands in the world, reports that she did her first dance steps to hurdy-gurdy Playing outside her Vienna birth- Place. And a note at hand says that Jeanette McDonald, the blond film star, prepared for her many love scenes with a library of some 3,000 volumes on the subject of that gentle Passion. Con Conrad, one of the gents from Tin Pan Alley who went out to Holly- wood in early talkie days with his old pals, DeSylva, Henderson, Brown and others, once retained as a secre- tary the mother of Jackie Cooper, boy phenom of the screen, who re- cently signed up for a vast sum foi- lowing his work in “Skippy.” The tale I was told has it that Conrad Pleaded with “Skippy’s” mother to give the lad a film chance in one of those latter-day music revues of the screen. And look at the lad now! Walter Millis, whose book en the Spanish-American War, “The Mar- tial Spirit,” has created plenty of comment, writes editorials on a New York morning paper. But maybe he will not have to, now that his book is a best seller. xe * And speaking about books—which the nation would never keep many of the old-time book concerns going. It's sellers and that keep money in the bank. In these days, when all pub- lishing houses are worrled, the newer concerns feel the pressure the hard- est because they have no “old lists” to offer. : most publishers prefer not to these| days—those best sellers that sweep the old-timers that are the real best | — (Continued from page one) the part-time work this week I thought we'd better snatch at it.

MORRIS FISHBEIN (Editor Journal of the American Medical Association) Many of our sensations are so dis- tinct that we can recognize them easily; others are so obscure, that few people really realize that they have them. In addition to being able to see, hear, smell and taste, we are able to feel pressure, to tell the dif- ference between hot and cold and to feel pain. Besides these sensations there are those that come to us from muscles, from the semi-circular canals in the internal ear and sensa- jtions from internal organs. Our mus- jeles and semi-circular canals help to tell us where we happen to be in space. They help us to balance our- }selves and in other ways to live in a difficult environment. The sense of taste is not merely bitter, salt, sweet and sour, but a combination of taste, odor and the feel of food upon the tongue. Our sense of color is not only the dif- but also all of the possible combi- nations of the spectrum. Odors are of innumerable quantities and jqualities, and there are so many \different kinds of odors that scien- tists have had difficulty in naming jall of them. Indeed, so much de- pends on what is called conscious- ness, or the ability of the drain to jevery human being differs from {every other one in these qualities. i Physiologists divide all of the senses of the body into two groups —those which are projected to the exterior of the body, which include sight, hearing, taste, smell and the ference between white and black. /ed with the perception of any sensa- receive and record sensation, that! ability to tell the difference be- tween hot and cold; and those which are projected to the interior of the body and which are therefore of the greatest importace in protect- ing the human being against serious illness and even death. The sensations projected to the in- terior of the body include pain, which may be felt in any portion of the body, the muscle sense, the sensation of position in space, hunger, thirst, sex desire, fatigue, and other sensa- tions from internal organs. Of course, @ sense like the temperature sense may be felt on the exterior of the body or within the organs. Because of the complex character of the construction of the human body, not one of the senses is per- ceived uncomplicated by others, ex- cept in scientific experimentation. Stimulation to the skin may come from a pin point, a blast of warm air, contact with a chemical like menthol, or from other stimuli. The number of nerve tips associa!- tion varies in various parts of the body. The most sensitive is the tip of the tongue, then follows the tip cf the finger, various fingers varying in their ability.» Then comes the middle of the palm, the forehead, the back of the hand, the forearm, the sternum or breast bone, the region along the spine, and finally the middle of the back. It is very difficult for a per- son to tell exactly what is touching him {f the stimulus is applied to the middle of the back, whereas he can quite frequently tell by the sense of feel alone the nature of any stimulus applied to the finger tip or to the tongue. ‘anything, and continue to lead all best seller lists. Several firms have some school books as their standard line. Practically all firms lose money on @ percentage of volumes publish- ed; aim toward one or two big sellers —and fall back on old-timers. Talking this over the other day with an assorted ¢roup of gents from various book concerns, I learned that Louisa May Alcott, for instance, goes merrily on, year after year. Another house finds Mark Twain one of the best perennial sellers. And although Kipling is a populer author, year in and. year out, the royalties demanded are so high that little money has been made on his books here. They have chiefly “add- ed prestige to the list.” Also I was surprised to find that “David Harum” finds new readers | QUT OUR WAY By Williams DETERMINATION — Burt DOGGEONUSs!

STR williams S] O84 ony ter and a brushing up, looked sur- prisingly cool and sweet. Cass sighed again as the young feet tapped down the four flights of stairs. “A shame!” she murmured. The woman gathered up the finished robe and packed it into an old\suit box. She cold-creamed her face with re- ligious care, made up with meticulous intentness, brushed her tarnished hair until it gleamed and pressed it into shining waves about her face. There, that was better! She spent five minutes massaging a stubborn wrinkle between her eyes. She put on a thin dark dress that had a vaguely out-of-date air and a last year’s straw hat. Then she threw a cover of chintz over the sewing machine and drew the shades nearly to the sill in an ef- fort to thwart the inroads of the re- lentless afternoon sun. After that she went iat ea baking street. Summer is the time, Cass mused, when one needs money more than ever. In winter it is possible to keep warm somehow. And cheap food is appetizing then. It is when days are hot and nights stifling that one wants crisp, alluring foods to eat. One wants to dine on a roof, high up, with a view of the river. Oh! sighed Cass, for the millionth time in her life, how difficult it is to be poor! Nevertheless she entered the stage door with a smile on her lips. It was the smile of the good trouper. Be- sides, worry made one look old. That was the one thing Cass could not af- ford to do. Rehearsal had not yet started. She was glad to be early and have time to catch her breath in the dusty coolness. Cass had been with the New Art for three seasons now. It was not exciting, sort of stock company really. But it was safe and sure. It meant bread and butter for nine months of the year. She was grate- ful for that. She hoped she would be asked to come back next season, but—well, she didn’t know. * * * Vernon O'Day Wells, the actor manager whose pet the New Art Theater was, thin, saturnine and iron gray, entered followed by his coterie. As always there was a small stir at his entrance. Nods, bows, sycophantic smiles, The rehearsal began. “Now that'll be all for today,” Wells boomed presently. “As you all know, we're closing next week. Haven't quite shaped up plans for next season but we'll talk that over later.” He waved his hand in a signal of dismissal. Cass looked fearfully across at the others. They were all talking, laughing animated- ly. Perhaps they had already been asked to sign up for next year. “Miss Barrett, just a minute—!” She turned to see Wells’ secretary beckoning her. “Vernon would like to see you upstairs for a minute.” Cass’ heart beat thickly, pound- ing so it almost suffocated her. She was being let down, then? Vernon Wells waited just inside the door of his office. He was talk- ing to a woman Cass had never seen before. A big, high-bosomed woman wearing an old-style white embroidered dress, “Ah, Miss Barrett! Mrs. Clees- paugh was anxious to talk to you,” Vernon was saying. Cass fumbled for achair. Those stairs had made her giddy again. The old faintness was coming to overwhelm her, “Mr. Wells has been helping us with our little theater group out at. Willow Stream,” the lady began Pompously. “He is directing the company there for the summer and . We wondered if you would care to join us. I admired,” said Mrs. Cieespaugh, “so much your perform- ance in Romeo and Juliet.” Willow Stream! Like a cinema flashback Cass saw the tree-shaded lanes and blue waters of that little jewel-like Long Island village. It would mean all the difference be- tween life and death for her to have this summer at Willow Stream. What was it the doctor had said? “Ought to get out of the city at any cost.” And she had smiled at him fronically, paying her bill. But what about Liane? ‘How could she leave her? eee ‘MES. CLEESPAUGH was bab- bling on. She spoke of art as @ high calling and mentioned $40 a week with infinite cagualness. Well, thought Cass, it was not much but it was enough. There would be shaded lanes to walk in of morn- ings, salt air to breathe deéply. Oh, it was more than enough! Cass stood up presently. Her Own voice sounded unreal to her. “It's too marvelous,” she said, un- steadily, “It sounds really per- fect.” Even her laughter sounded nervous, brittle. “I hope I can have my daughter with me,” she hazarded, “I should be so glad to have her out of the town heat for the summer.” “Oh, about Liane,” said Wells, seeming to remember. “There will have to be a double box office staff at Willow Stream. We have a girl engaged for the afternoons but I wondered if Liane might not take over the job in the evenings.” “She's inexperienced but I’m sure she could manage it,” Cass told him. “Liane?” Mrs. Cleesbaugh’s mag- (isterial dark eyes sought Cass’. “My child. She's 18,” Cass ex- plained, with that surging of pride which always accompanied her ex- planation. Going home she found the city almost endurable in the receding sunlight. It was easier to be phil- osophic about the heat wave when one was shortly moving to the country. She looked at all the bright, clean little shops almost fondly as she passed thom. ‘There was a note on the table. It said, “Liane has gone to dinner with me and some friends. Back about 10.” It was signed Molly Cronin. ——$—<— — _—__—____+ [ Heart of Liane | jup for a dry day. * FLAPPER, FANNY SAYS: Ma, in haste and you may not have any leisure, RUSSIAN REVOLT PLOT On June 24, 1917, a plot to bring about an armed revolt, when the all- Russian Congress of Soviets would be in session, was revealed. The Bolsheviki, who planned the revolt, had hoped to arrest the mem- bers of the provisional government and assume full power. They also planned to recall all the soldiers serving at the front. This action came after the Bol- sheviki had held mass meetings among the troops, preaching defeat- ism and surrender and urging the soldiers not to obey the orders of “bourgeois officers.” The provisional government, aware of the peril of this Propaganda, did not attempt to end it by force. The following month the Bol- shevists staged a two-day revolt, which was put down by Cossack troops. At this time Alexander Ker- ensky endeavored to bring order out of chaos. ——______——-» Quotations eo - Congress will not provide for un- employment and old age insurance if industry does not create the need.
