(Official City, State and County Newspaper) ——— Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS & BREWER (Incorporated) Opposite Views Diametrically opposite views of the possibility of saving a 12-year-old boy from the human wreckage heap have been expressed by a Catholic priest in Omaha and a member of the Wickersham Law Enforcement Com- mission in a case sufficiently sensa-/ i tional to excite public interest. ‘The founder of Father Flanagan's Home for Boys in Omaha has asked ‘that 12-year-old Hubert Nicolls, sen- tenced to life in prison for slaying a deputy sheriff at Asotin, Wash., be paroled to him. He believes the boy could be reformed and made into a good citizen. | Kenneth Mackintosh, former judge of the Washington supreme court and a member of the Wickersham body, says the boy should have been hanged. He gave it as his opinion ‘that the boy, by heredity and train- ing, was essentially worthless .and a criminal and the world would be bet- ter off without him. The need for hanging, in the jurist's view, lies in the fact that persons sentenced to life terms too often are freed after @ few years. It might well be that society would profit by hanging all of its evil-doers as the judge seems to suggest. Per- haps children born in unhappy en- vironments or of parents whose worth has not been proved should be slaughtered at birth. If they consti- tute a social problem, as did this boy} in Washington, that would be a dras- tic if uncertain solution. But one wonders how the learned) judge would feel if, the boy having been convicted, he were called upon to place a noose about that 12-year- old neck and spring the trap. Per- haps even so stern a citizen as Judge Mackintosh would quail at the pros- pect or, the job accomplished, he might have more than one sleepless night with the specter of a frail and dangling little body staring at him | from the shadows. The world, being a hopeful place, | will give more support to Father Flanagan's idea than to that of Judge Mackintosh. At the lad’s trial it was not denied that he had killed the mah for whose murder he was on trial. His attorneys contented them- selves with presenting a picture of Hubert's home life. Jt was one of constant strife and quarreling, of bickerings between the parents, of moral unconcern, of misery, squalor and hopelessness. The jury returned the verdict of life imprisonment and during the trial the 60-pound hoy spent most of his time in jail play- ing his harmonica. The view of the Nebraska cleric, whose home has harbored thousands of friendless waifs, many of them now worthwhile citizens, is that no mat- ter how low a boy may have sunken he still may be pulled back to a plane where he is worthwhile. He takes ‘the lighter, more hopeful view. He} matches the dour Puritanism of Judge Mackintosh with a more opti- - mistic philosophy. Perhaps he had in mind a very) important statement, made some 2,000) years ago, which the judge's expe- rience on the Wickersham commis- sion caused him to forget. It is: “Suffer the little children to come) unto Me for of such is the kingdom| of heaven.” | England’s Short Campaign A correspondent of The Tribune comments in a letter on the fact that England, on October 27, elected 625 members of parliament after a cam-/| Paign lasting less than 20 days. He) points out that the former parlia- ment was prorogued by the king on! October 6 and the next day the com-| missioner of elections called for the election of a new parliament. Un-| der English law the election must be)! held 20 days after the call and the| result was an election October 27. Since nominations did not officially close until October 18, it was possi- ble for some candidates to have been! elected after a campaign lasting only Dine days. NEWSPAPER j 00! } recommend it. Our correspondent then observes: . “Contrast this with our elec- [ utes. tion of a president and congress. We designate every fourth year as ‘presidential year.’ It is well famed for it takes us a year to elect a president. The first pres- idential primaries next year will be held in North Dakota on the third Tuesday in March, and the election will take place on the eighth day of November. “Our national party commit- tces have the power to Bold the nominating conventions in Sep- tember instead of June. This would reduce the national hyste- ria by three months. It would give business a better chance to recover. It ought to reduce the cost of the campaign and thus commend itself to the national committees.” Of course the professional politi- cian campaigns all year round, shak- ing hands and kissing babies with as much gusto in the off season as dur- ing campaign time. There is no stop- ping him except to kill him. But other holders of public office should welcome the change from the present rather cumbersome system. The people would welcome it and there can be no question of the bene- ficial effect on business or the sav- ing in campaign money. To a dispassionate observer, the English system has considerable to Our cousins across’ the water are a great deal swifter than we in political matters, despite their reputation for slowness in some other things. If Spain Starts Divorce The extent of the change that has come over Spain since the estab- lishment of the republic is strikingly illustrated by the news that the Na- tional Assembly has put into the re- public's proposed constitution a pro- vision for divorce by mutual consent. Under the monarchy, Spanish law provided for no divorce at all. The new provision—provided that the law is accepted by the Spanish people— would make divorce almost as easy as it is in Russia. The contrast gives the measure of the change which the nation is undergoing. Incidentally, if the law stands, it may be that Spain will find herself getting a slice of the rich American divorce trade. In recent years the Paris divorce has been popular among rich and restless Americans. Will it, in the near future, be replaced by the Madrid divorce? Our Automobile Business It is rather surprising to hear that the export trade has accounted for practically all of the increase in pro- duction of American autos since 1923. A survey conducted by a University of Michigan expert shows this to be the case, and indicates that the do- mestic market has not appreciably expanded in eight years. “Production abroad by American companies,” remarks the survey, “will do more to limit our future exports than competition from European pro- ducers.” The automobile business, thus, seems to be pretty securely in Amer- ican hands. Yet one is entitled to wonder just how much this will help the ordinary American worker if American factories located overseas are going to grab off most of the export trade. That is a point which the tariff makers might ponder over a little. | Smoking Women Dr. Clarence True Wilson, secretary of the Methodist Board of Temper- ance, Prohibition and Public Morals, is a man of great ability and un- doubted sincerity. Yet when he says —as he did in an interview at Cleve-| land the other day—that “every! smoking woman on earth would have, been a drinker in our saloons, if the} saloons were open,” it is @ little bit! hard to believe that he means pre- cisely what he says. Indeed, it is hard to see just what the connection between smoking and drinking is. Undeniably, the practice of smoking has gained many femi-| nine adherents in this country dur- | ing the past decade; yet the places) where a woman who smokes is re- garded as a lost soul are very remote, and hard to find nowadays. To as-| sume that every woman who enjoys) a cigaret would also enjoy spending! her spare time in the corner saloon, if she had the chance, is to make a rashly unqualified statement.

Mi nt telling BOWEN of th the unknown vi Mary to {= killed the NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XII Mary gave her promise readily enough, She was thoroughly angry at Kane anyhow, and grate ful to Bowen. Apparently he was the only person besides herself who cared enough to dig up the truth about her brother's death. Even if his interest was partly selfish, she was grateful to him just the same, in the present sore atate of her feelings, If he did not want Kane to know what he was doing, she would gladly comply. Bowen seemed pleased by her trust in him, and his eyes began to glitter with the seal of the news- hound hot on the trail. “I think we're on the track of something,” he told her, “but let me tell you this, my dear girl, be- fore we go any further—if we don’t keep our mouths pretty tight shut, we take a chance of getting what Eddie got. If we go after this guy to win, we've got to play a cagey game. How's your nerve?” “I—don't know,” Mary faltered. “I never tried anything like this before.” “Well, we'll have plenty of time to think of that later.” Bowen brushed it away, sorry for having aroused her fears, That might be a tactical error. Better leave her in ignorance of the danger, perhaps, or she might weaken and spoil the whole show. , “What I want to find out now 1s—” He broke off as the fearsome: looking waiter came to take their plates away. Bowen sat thought- fully turning @ salt-cellar in his fingers. “Mike,” he sald, suddenly, “sit down a minute, will you?” With an apprehensive glance to- ward the kitchen, Mike sat down bonelessly on the edge of the chair. Mary became aware’ of a stale and unpleasant odor as of yester- day’s food caught in the folds of his greasy black coat, and radiat- ing from him like an aura. But she did not flinch. If she were go- ing to play Bowen's game she must not show the white feather merely because a waiter neglected to wash. “Look here, Mike,” Bowen low- ered his voice, “I want to get the lowdown on & crook kn6wn as The Fly. Ever hear of him?” Mike thought, then shook his head. . “You can talk in front of this lady. She's O. K..”" Bowen re assured him. “W got a little private vendetta on, this lady and I, Kane flopped on it, and we're going out after this bird ourselves, That is, it he’s still around town. That's where we want you to help us.” eee Klas waiter’s expressjon remained inscruthble. Mary thought bis eyes held a gleam of interest as he looked her over carefully, but she could not be sure. No doubt he had plenty of reason to hate the pompous Inspector, and it was clear that he and Bowen were on a friendly footing. “I think maybe—he's dead,” he offered after a bit. “Dead? When? How long go?” Bowen asked excitedly. “Oh, long time, Maybe 10 year,” the waiter explained. “Ob,” Bowen snorted. “Not this guy! Ho was very much alive no longer than two weeks ago. Where did you know him? Sure you got the name right? Fly!” He looked about vainly for a specimen of the species by way of illustration. Find- ing none, he gave an imitation of a soaring insect, ending with a fatal smacking of his palms together. Mike giggled appreciatively. “Sure, sure!” he said. “Where did you know him, up in the Big House?” Mike shook his head. “Would you know him if you saw him? Would he know you?” “Maybe. I dunno.” “What was his name? Do you remember?” Mike considered. “I forgot. His name The Fly. That's all I know.” “w breaking, or what?” Here the waiter’s phliegmatic manner broke and he became ex- cited, “You better lay off that guy, be is a tough egg!” warned. “Ever—kili anybody?” asked quietly. “Plenty. They not catch him for t was he up for, house-| sh He bowed rapidly from the waist. “Yeah? Yeah? Good boy! You come up and see me when I am up there.” He included Mary in his nod of invitation. Mary smiled. How changed he was, when he was like this, from the gloomy, suspi- cious man he had seemed at first! Did it matter so much to him, then, just a job in another -speak- easy? She judged this was what Bowen had arranged for him. eee Bowen laid his change on the bill, and handed it to Mike, who on it handsomely. Bowen in- “V'll tell you what you can do for me, if that’s the way you feel,” he said, “Keep your ears open up at Shay’s—you're Mable to hear something. Shay’s ts The Fly's old stamping ground, I hear. If he's still in town you'll see him around there, unless he’s hiding out. All I want you to do {s tip me off if you see him—I want to get a look at him sometime.” Mike showed signs of distress, “You bring the cops?” he asked fearfully. “No, no, no! Mike, have I ever pulled a fast one on you? Well, you can trust me, You know that.” Mike said “Sure, sure,” and ap- peared reassured. He looked curi- ously at Mary. “What he do?” he asked interestedly. Bowen looked solemly at Mary. “He did this lady a very great wrong,” he said impressively, The strange little man’s eyes rested on her, glittering with interest. Mary felt her cheeks grow warm. What was he thinking, anyhow? Then reflected that it was probably better to let him draw what infer ence he would than tell him too touch about her affairs, “You not find him for Kane?” he asked suspiciously. ~ “Nol” Bowen denied for her. “And if Kane finds out about this, I'll beat your head off! He'd gum the works—it he hasn't done so al- it, He is smart guy. Good lawyers, | ready. lotsa dough, Yeah!” A depressed silence beld his two hearers. Encouraged, Mike con- tinued to build up the man’s repu- tation. Though his tone was one of deep scorn, his admiration was plain, It was the bumble crafts man praising the artist. “They pull him in two, three times—the Deestrict Attorney go for him. They get nothing on him. They can’t bold him. Always he goes free! Ab, be is a bad@guy, that one! Yeah!” Bowen stirred, stretched, yawned, gave every evidence of dismissing. the subject. Following his, lead, Mary withdrew her fascinated gaze from the waiter's sombre counte nance, which had gleamed for a few Scant moments with genuine emo- tion, and made preparations to go. Mike jumped up. “Ob, by thg way,” Bowen called, “you remember what you were talking to me about the other day, Mike? Well, I’ve got it all fixed for you. Give you a letter in a day or two, and you take it up to Shay and he'll fiz you up. that ‘speak’ of his, Got this dump beat a mile.” Nice place, | D They glanced through the clouded glass of the high front windows at a leaden sky which still dripped rain, “Ever play the horses, Mike?” Bowen asked, casually, Mike spread his hands. “Some times, No good. I lose much money.” “I see you have. Ever hear of ‘a horse called La Mosca?” “La Mosca? The Fly—eh?” “You've got the idea.” “No, that is a new one.” “Never mind, How would you | ike to go down to the tracks— when's your day off? Friday?” Bowen took out his wallet, extracted from it two tendollar bills and a five, and shoved them across the table. “I hope the office covers me on this, If they don’t I'll be around eating off you, Mike, till payday.” But Mike was retreating from the proffered money as {f it were fire. “Listen, this {s on the level!” Bowen protested. “Take it. You don’t have to do a thing but play the horses, and keep your ear jeeled.” “Yeab?

Mike turned his back on Mary and leaning toward Bowen poured out a flood of rapid whisper- ing. “Hey, wait—take it slow!” Bowen objected. When the snake-like hiss- ing subsided the reporter relaxed and waved him away. “Oh, no, no, no!” he answered, “that’s all right. Well, see you Saturday. Don’t forget what I told you.” The waiter bowed deeply to Mary, in unexpected fashion, and scuttled away. “What did he say?” Mary asked fearfully, unable to restrain her curiosity.

Take this, anyhow—it'll keep you dry getting on and off, and you can give it to one of the flunkeys when you're done with it. It’s none of mine.” * Mary looked down at the coat he laid over her arm. It was an Eng: lish make, well worn. Hastily she opened it and examined tt with shaking fingers. Stitches here, where a seam had ripped. “But—this is my brother Eddi coat! Where did you find it?” gasped, “Why,” stammered the startled reporter, “I found it in the upper hall of the Jupiter house that night ;of the murder, It was hanging i; over the stalr-rail, I thought one ! of the newspaper men had left it there, so I took it home with me.” (To Be Continued) Daily Health Service MUST KEEP SKIN BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association The skin is intimately associated with the rest of the body, arid there- fore has the advantages of the mechanisms that nature has estab- lished in order to protect it against attack. Washing the skin is a good {measure for the removal from the surface of the skin of dirt, living and dead. Living dirt includes germs which are always present and which are ready to attack, provided they find an opening. An opening 1s any spot of lessened resistance, such as may result from a bruise, rubbing by & saw-edged collar, and any similar attack. The skin has. perhaps for its own protection, an oily substance put out by the glands in the skin. This oily substance is saponified by alka- line soaps and is, of course, partly removed by rubbing the skin with a brush or even in ordinary bathing. Some soaps attack this oily material much more seriously than do others, and for this reason some soaps are more irritating than are others. After the skin is washed and the oll removed during the cold weather, if the skin is then exposed to the cold before it has had time to secrete a CLEAN TO PREVENT INFECTION Hands Need Protection After Washing in Cold Weather to | Stave Off Chapping; Oil Necessary for Dry Skin { and who chap easily will, therefore, do well after washing the skin in cold weather io put on gloves before going outdoors and to protect the face suitably by a veil, or else to ap- ply to the skin any bland ointment, to take the place of the oil that has been removed in washing. The modern woman’s toilet includes the application of all sorts of mas- sages and creams for the care of the skin. Massage has the advantage of increasing the circulation of blood in the skin and of stimulating the tis- sue. However, it: is possible through too vigorous massage to irritate the skin or to bruise it in such a way that it is easily infected. Ordinary ointments or creams applied to the skin during massage are used prim- arily to lubricate, and thus to pre- vent bruising. Cleansing creams are used chiefly to soften the dried oil and perspiration. The proper process would be first to cleanse the skin with a so-called cleansing cream or preferably with a good mild soap and water, and then to use @ pure slightly oily cream for purpose of massage.
