Se eee , (Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives { SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS & BREWER (incorporated) (PHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON |, Mr. Baker of Ohio 1) Six months or even two months Bgo it seemed probable that Gover- mor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York would be the Democratic can- (lidate for president in 1932. ‘At this writing he still remains the Favored choice, but many who ough! to know are willing to bet their money against him. Reasons for this change in the Democratic situation Ne, of course, deep in the fundame:- tals of politics, but the ostensible an- wer is Newton D. Baker of Ohio. | It is an old axiom in polities that "you can’t beat somebody with no- body” and this seemed to explain the plight of the Democratic anti- Rooseveltians. They were agreed that they didn’t want the man from New York and yet they could not @gree upon a candidate to oppos: him. There are evidences that this difficulty has been bridged and that’ Baker is the man. Baker's own ideas on the subject are not available. He has not said he wants to run for the presidency. But his background is such that he will find it difficul: to) resist if a considerable number of his friends ask him to do so—and it seems a safe bet that they will. Roosevelt has been more recent!y in the public eye and there is good Teason to believe that he would run strongly in some sections of the country where the Democrats have been weak in recent years. But the fact remains that the busi- ness leaders of the Democratic party @re none too friendly to thé New Yorker. They regard him as much too liberal to suit their ideas. His activities have brought down the ire of the power interests and more than @ few believe he would be unsafe to have at the helm in so far as super- vision of the national expenditures $s concerned. It is this group which is pushing Baker to the fore. It feels he would be more conservative if elected—and the Democrats are making no secret, of their idea that they have more than a chance to win the presidency next year. Articles about the one-time secre- tary of war are beginning to appear] fn the magazines. A heavily docu- mented serial on “When Mr. Baker] Made War” recently was completed in the American Legion magazine, which goes to more than @ million fex-servicemen in the country. It was Bood reading, more than ordinarily interesting to a war veteran, and cf such nature as not to do the Ohioan pny political harm. Quite the con- trary, in fact. Political commentators in newspa- pers and magazines are suggesting dim as @ presidential possibility and McCall's magazine this month car- Hes a hiography. This, again, is flat- fering rather than otherwise. It stresses the modesty of the man nd the fact that he always has been feluctant to scek public office; it em- phasizes the fact that he is a quiet family man, whose chief joy is *grubbing potatoes” in his garden; it lets one know that he has had More than passing success as a law- yer and yet is not rich; it gives one the idea that he is candid, straight- forward and honest. For instance, it drives home the fact that, when Baker left office as secretary of war after having di- rected the expenditure of billions of dollars, he was a poor man. And here issone well calculated to en- dear him to many Americans: Baker ‘was one of the lawyers in a case in- volving the estate of one of the Mc- Cormicks in California, a matter of some $40,000,000. What is morc, he ‘won the case and it ig said of him that he refused to allow his client, @ne of the women in the McCormick family, to suggest to the court that he be allowed a fee of a cold million dollars. He is quoted as saying that this sum was “far too much.” The emount of his fee will be determined’ by the courts but has not yet been fixed. Add to this the fact that Baker is Phe son of a confederate veteran and {was born in the south but has lived many years in the north; that he is @oliticaly wet but personally dry; = te Subscription Rates Payable in ° Advance 5.00 aseses + 2.50 & that he has many personal and po- litical friends but few personal or Political enemies; and it is easy to see why he offers a formidable threai to the Roosevelt: cause. that the Democrats require a two- thirds vote of all convention delegates to nominate, it would appear that the convention in 1932 may not be th: sweet and rosy thing which some: have thought it would be. Slight Progress ~ ‘The total fire loss for the first nine 1.29] Months of 1931, according to an esti- mate by the National Board of Fire Underwriters, was $340,713,477, as ‘jcompared with $348,421,656 during the same period last year. One can be thankful for small fa- vors and feel some sense of ontimism in the improvement. But at the same time it is practically certain that at Teast 80 per cent of the loss was to- tally unnecessary— was, in other words, caused by human neglect, carelessness or ignorance. If the last three months of the year result in waste on the same scale, our total 1931 bill will be well in excess of $450,000,000. The person who is responsible for a fire is just as much a menace to the community as the person who’ causes accidents through reckless handling of an automobile. But, as yet, the public has not taken this at- titude. It has had only a passive in- terest in fire waste—regarding it much as a matter of course. It has not realized that fire is an individual problem which can be solved only by individual effort in cooperation with other individuals throughout the entire community. Fire is a destroyer of lives, prov- erty, Jobs. It is a barrier in the way of industrial activity and home own- ership. It is a cause of unemploy- ment, of bankruptcy, of intense mis- ery. Knowing this, all of us should do our part in seeing that it is out- Jawed forever. Achievements in Safety tomobile injuries and fatalities, there is a bright side to the accident prob- lem. The organized safety move- ment—which was 20 years old re- cently—“points with pride” to such achievements as these: A steady decrease in accidental deaths to children since 1922, when school safety work was inaugurated) on a national scale. During this time accidental adult deaths have in- creased 38 per cent. A decrease of at least 30 per cent in fatal industrial accidents in the last 20 years. A decrease of 28 per cent in the accident rates of 1,600 industrial es- tablishments reporting to the na- tional safety council. A decrease of 19 per cent in acci- dents involving drivers of trucl buses and taxicabs in four years. During this time private passenger cars involved in accidents have in- creased 37 per cent. This is fine fruit and the safety workers are to be congratulated. Their main problem now is to find some means of checking accidents on the highways and in homes—in the latter, 30,000 deaths occur each year. They are working in the face of great! difficulties in this—difficulties that can only be removed by individua! realization of the fundamentals of accident prevention. The deer season in North Dakoia, with only bucks eligible to legally serve as targets, represents one time) that “passing the buck” will not bo popular. Let’s hope some of the poli- ticians go hunting just to get the thrill of that experience. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors, a ‘They are published without to whether they agr with The Tribu Roosevelt (Duluth Herald) Washington reports that Demo- crats see a “stop-Roosevelt” move- ment in the conference between Governor Ritchie of Maryland, Chairman Raskob of the national committee and Alfred E. Smith. Nobody need look far to find Dem- ocratic opposition to Roosevelt. Roosevelt is wet enough to hold the south, but not wet enough to satisfy the real wets of the Democratic party,! who would put the prohibition issue first while he would subordinate it to economic issues. Roosevelt is liberal, or progressive, enough to win western support, and too liberal to please the conserva- tives in the party, who are at least as thoroughly Tory as anything New England ever produced, or even Pennsylvania. | The fact is that on the whole the Democratic pundits, the real old-) time Bourbon politicians, feel toward Roosevelt very much as the same ntry in the Republican party have felt—and still feel—toward Mr. Hoo- yer. They not only suspect that he won't stand when he is hitched, but they are very much afraid that he won't sumbit to hitching. Though for that matter Governor Roosevelt is anything but an exam- ple of outstending and defiant cour- age, for nobody could have pussy- footed, for instance on the Tammany issue, more softly than he has. However, Roosevelt is popular with rank and file Democrats, especially since he beat Al Smith on the for- estry issue, and at this moment the chances are that, much though they dread it, some time next summer the Democratic bosses are going to be heard, faintly, giving three feeble cheers for Roosevelt the standard- bearer.

Each was heroically resolved to keep his troubles from the other plectically in his throat, moving the but their woebegone faces would have told the tale, even if the lo- quactous Della had not, “You're looking a little peaked,” Jupiter ventured. “Better come along to Bermuda with me next week,” Mary raised stricken eyes at the word “Bermuda.” “I'm all right,” she murmured, Politely. Jupiter cleared his throat explo- sively, and set his melon aside un- tasted, “Don't know as this {s the time to speak of it but I talked to Ruy- ther about that matter this morn- fog.” His voice was still hoarse with emotion. “It’s all settled. Makes you my he!r. Bruce will be taken care of—enough for » man that lives the rattle-brained life be does. But none o’ them French hussies will get my money! I've got no son, but by God, there’ no law that says I can’t have a daugh- As the whole import of this sud- den announcement mado itself clear to her, Mary threw out ber hands involuntarily. “Oh, no!” she cried. “You mustn’t do that! You mustn't!” “Eh? Why not?” Apparently he had never dreamed that bis ‘offer could be refused. His stare of amazement was almost a glare, Not in many years had anyone crossed him in any major respect; be was utterly taken aback. “That isn’t fair to Bruce!” Even &s she vas protesting the injustice ot such an arrangement, Mary's heart began to pound dizzily. To be th Jupiter heiress! She could only dimly apprehend as yet hat it would mean to be mistress of so many millions, to have the world to Play in, to be free forever of the Poverty that had put her at the mercy of the Cornelia Tabors of the World these last few years. To be free to choose Dirk for a husband as he had chosen her, and Rot to feel like a 2eggar-maid who must always be humbly grateful to her King Copietua! To receive the unwilling deference of Emily Ann duyther, who, like’most snobs, usually found it difficult to be un- civil to a great deal of money. Mary felt as if she had been taken up into & high placc and shown the king- doms of the world. Had she really the strength to refuse them? The old man was growling apo- silver about agitatedly. When he had calmed himself, he said: “We'll say no more about Bruce. I have the two greatest griefs to bear that can come to a man—my wife and my son are dead.” He was almost weeping. eee Fear for him, in his present highly emotional state, tied the girl's tongue. It seemed foolish to try to convince him by the usual platitudes, that this violent reper- cussion was only natural, that a little familiarity between father and son would smooth away the sharp edges ‘of their differencet, bring them back together again, She forsook the subject of Bruce for the time being. “Very well,” she said quictly. “If “|you're sure you want to do that. You've always been kind to me, but this seems—too much, somehow. T’ve never done anything to deserve so much. I've no right to it, really. If you change your mind—” “It’s all settled. And {t ain't so much, Not half of what people think,” he flashed warlly. “And time the taxes are paid and all, you won't be so rich you'll bend your back carrying it,” This was pure swank, Mary knew, but she let him say it. If it pleased him to belittle his wealth, it was a pleasure he could afford. “I ask only one thing,” she said soberly. “That nothing be sald about it just yet. No one must know.” a He was obviously disappointed but he agreed, grudgingly. Jt would ave been infinitely soothing to that long-festecing wound to his pride and his affections which his son's way of life had dealt him to let the world know that Bruce was to be punished. In his own peculiar self-sufficiency, Bruce had always evaded him. This was the only way the father could hurt him. Mary knew that Mr. Jupiter was heartsick over the open break with Bruce from the listless tone with which he spoke of his yacht, for the “Gypsy” was the dearest toy he owned. “I've got Hendricks,” he said, “and he won't take on anybody 1 wouldn’t. Good man. Good navi- gator, good pilot. And a damn good mechanic, Don’t often find that in @ seagoing man. We'll get ‘away the first of the week.” Go away from New York, leave Dirk—? Mary's heart cried out that she couldn’t, no matter how unfairly he had behaved toward her. “You make up a party,” the old man persisted, with forced cheer- fulness. “Ask anybody you like. We've got cabins for 15. Maybe Steve Ruyther and his wife can get away; do him good. Shut you up a few weeks with that wife of his and maybe you'll decide you don’t want to get married, eh?” He squinted at ber, in a feeble attempt at humor. “Maybe I won't—get married, anyway,” Mary said. “Well, plenty of time. You're young. Little absence won't do any harm. You get ready and we'll stop off in Miami and see some other young folks—” Miarii! Mary's indifference van. ished. She sat up, electrified by the thought that came to her. Miami was Florida, and Hialeah must be somewkere about, The Fly would be at Hialeah! “When can we start’ she asked eagerly, “Will we be in Miami by the 16th?” Her sudden enthusiasm puzzled Jupiter, but he was pleased to see that he had succeeded in “perking “I reckon 80,” he answered. “Why? Somebody down there you want to sec?” She laughed excitedly. “I should say so! How long will we stay?” “Why, long as you like, two— three -veeks, I suppose. Danged if T'll open the house, though. Always hated the thing—looks like an oil station. No vacation for me—go all the way to Miami and live in an ofl station! We'll live on the ‘Gypsy’.” oe HE was avoiding the palatial Spanish “cottage” which had been Mrs. Jupiter's favorite among her various homes because her memory was too vivid there, Mary knew. But she did not care; the “Gypsy” suited her purposes even better. A plan of almost diaboli- cal cunning had occurred to her! As she rapidly thought out its de- tails, she knew that she must speak to Mr. Jupiter about it now, for certain preparations would have to be made beforehand, to insure safety all tound—for herself, for the necklace when it was in her Possession, and possibly for the old man himself, She might take chances herself but she would never again take chances on behalf of anyone else— the load of responsibility she al- ready bore was heavy enough. At her earnest request, they left the almost untouched meal and ad- journed to the library, safe from the avid ears of the servants. There, as clearly as she could, Mary set forth the facts she and Bowen had gathered about The Fly. It was not a conclusive show of evi- dence, but it was strong. It needed @ final link to make it impregnable —that final link could only be The Fly's confession. There was still the chance—she did not admit it, but it was there— that though it had been the Fly's gun with which Mrs. Jupiter was shot, Eddie's hand had fired it. If that were true, she wanted to know it, but she did not want other peo- ple to know it if it could be helped. So they must do without the police For notoriety followed when one dealt with the police—she had found that out. And in that one respect, at least, she meant to re spect Dirk's wishes. His name would always be coupled with hers Since the official announcement of their engagement, even if—her mind refused to follow ‘up that pain- ful “if.” She would not drag him into this if she could possibly avoid it, All this je had to make clear to Mr. Jupit well as her plan to capture the Fly, When she had fin- ished, he asked: . “You sure he'll be there?” “It's almost a certainty, Bowen thinks, His horse races at Hialeah on the 16th. He'll show up, all tight—he doesn’t take the law seri- ously, you know. He's been arrest- ed many times, but they've had to let him go. He's careful. Bowen says he’s the smartest crook un- hung. Maybe that’s why they call him The Fly. He's so hard to swat.” Jupiter grunted. “If the police can’t swat him, how do you expect to?” “By avoiding their methods, and using my own! He can't be taken in an open chase, that’s been tried too many times. Very well. We'll emulate a spider, spread our web and wait for him! He'll come. The necklace will bring him, He is the only one who knows the truth about Eddie, He must be made to tell, that’s all. If you want to do some HE was silent a long time. Mary could not read his thoughts. she almost prayed. were right—that that man was the one—I'd never rest, while he was above ground! Every cent I’ve got would go to see him hung!” Spots of red burned in the bloodless cheeks; Mary had not seen him so galvanized with life since the first few hopeful days of the police search for his wife's murderer, The thirst for revenge gave him an un- expected zest in life. It might bea better thing for him, in the end, than the coddling Dr. Jordan had enforced on him. Jupiter slapped the arms of his chair, “If you were a boy, now—but a girl like you—what will people think if I let you walk up to that crook with a fortune hanging around your neck? No, sir, I can’t let you ¢o a crazy thing like that, Mary—” “Then,” Mary said quietly, “under the terms of your wife's will, I will choose the necklace. Although it really doesn’t- matter now whether I actually have the neck- lace in my possession or not—The Fly thinks I have. Those stories will have told him that and he saw me wearing it. It's too late now to back out.” As soon as he thinks it safe again, he'll be making an- other try for it. And all the papers say you've given the necklace to me. I’m in danger now, and I al- ways will be, while he's at large. For my own safety, the best thing I can do is bring him to justice as quickly as possible. As for seeking him out, I'll be far safer knowing his movements than I'll ever be with him at large . . . you see tbat, don’t you?” Jupiter scratched an ear. “That's mighty near the truth,” he ad- mitted, - “It may take a little time,” Mary continued, “but it cam be done. Don’t you mind me! I shan’t be frightened. 1 wasn’t frightened be- fore when I saw him in Shay’s—I was thrilled as any school girl, and glad, I can’t tell you how glad! I thought it wouldn't be long until— but he got away. We'll have to wait a while—fush him again, as Bowen calls it, but we'll get him. I don’t want them just to send him jail—i want them to hang him! I do!” Her own vehemence sur- Prised her, but she knew it was true—that these unbecoming, blood- thirsty sentiments were truly hers. She turned on him, demanding defiantly, “Does it sound awful? 1 mean it. ¥ never knew I could hate anyone as much as I hate that man!” She walked about, her eyes stormy, her face flushed, But Jupiter was not looking at her. He was seeing visions of bis own in the pattern of the rug, his hand clenching and unclenching on the crook of his cane. He held it at arms length, like a weapon, and banged the floor with it. “If he’s the man,” be said, “I'll see him hung if I have to put every. cent I've got behind it. By god, I'd Ike to tend to it myself! If you can toll bim on board the ‘Gypsy’—" “Ican. 1 can trick him, 1 know Ican!” Her throat was tight with exultation, and resolution.

MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association definitely associated with the devel- opment of what are called the sec- ondary sex characteristics. It is be- cause of the special type of glandu- lar activity that a male develops the way he does in contrast to the fe- male. It is because of glandular ac- tivity that a rooster grows & comb and a hen does not. British investigators have been able to cause a hen to grow a comb by changing its glandular mechan- ism. - Dr. B. N. Bengtson noticed that pi- tuitary extract when injected may develop a profuse growth of hair. Concluding from this that there is some relationship of the secretion of this gland to the growth of hair, he decided to inject people who had suffered @ loss of hair with this glan- dular extract. The regular injection of extracts of the pituitary gland brought about a stimulation and growth of hair in several instances. A man 58 years old who had been Reina Belasco, David’s daughter. The two met accidentally. Belasco was giving a dinner for friends in New Haven. It was noticed that there were 13 at the table. Gest happened to be at the place, looking after the- atrical matters. Belasco called him over to “make a fourteenth.” The Tomance resulted. ‘Then there was that grand hit of showmanship when Geraldine Farrar made “Carmen.” Gest had intro- duced Miss Farrar to a young film gent named Sani Goldfish—it’s Sam Goldwyn now—-and to another young) gent named Lasky.

On the other hand, enough evidence has been established by Dr. Bengt- son to indicate that in certain cases of baldness in which there may be a deficiency of the secretion of this particular gland, the injection of ex- tract of the pituitary gland resulted in overcoming baldness. Premature baldness is of the chief sources of income for all sorts of charlatans and for the promotion of various types of nostrums and hair tonics.
