SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS @ BREWER ncorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Answer to a Question | Insurance Commissioner 8.” A, Ols- ness, writing in the People’s Forum, inquires about an apparent discrep- ancy in the published accounts of the speech of John A. Simpson, president of the National Farmers’ Union, and the speech as Mr. Olsness heard it on the floor of the Farmers’ Union con- vention here. The question deserves an answer, ,even though it may cause a little em- barrassment. It so happens that Simpson changed his mind between the time he pre- pared the speech and the time he de- livered it. He is an experienced pub- lic speaker and has made many speeches. In some of them he has attacked the federal farm board's Policies. And so, before beginning his address, he gave to the press what he wished to be quoted as saying. The North Dakota Farmers’ Union, however, has been friendly to the farm board. Since they were his peo- ple, Simpson evidently wished not to offend them. And so he deleted the attack upon the farm board from his address. When Simpson began his speech, the newspapermen began rattling their typewriters about other matters incident to the meeting. They felt the Simpson speech was “buttoned up ‘and tucked away” in so far as they were concerned. They were right only in part. An official of the state Farmers’ Union, commenting on the matter later, gave apt explanation when he said: “It appears Mr. Simpson is for whatever his hearers are for when he consistently can be. He did not wish to hurt their feelings or set up an un- friendly reaction, and so he left the reference to the farm board out.” The incident speaks neither well nor ill of Simpson. It is merely re- corded as a fact. He is not the first man in the public eye who has changed the tenor of an address at the last moment and he will not be the last. Lewis’ Strange Fame ‘The death the other day of Colonel Isaac Newton Lewis is a reminder of the queer kind of fame that some men win. : Colonel Lewis had fame—e great deal of it—and it still endures. His mame dots almost every page of any history of the fighting in the World war; it will live, perhaps, for centur- jes, unless men find some way of do- ing without armies, navies and mili- tary airplanes. Yet his name, in it- self, means nothing whatever to the ordinary citizen. Briefly, Colonel Lewis was the in- ventor of the Lewis machine gun. He resigned from the American army shortly before the World war began, in order to submit his new weapon to foreign governments—the United States government not being able, at that time, to work up much interest in it. English army officers found in the gun just what they had been looking for. They ordered thousands of the colonel’s light, simply - constructed machine guns, and during the war the weapon proved one of the British infantryman’s best friends. Aviators used them extensively; when America entered the war the United States or- dered quantities of them. Colonel Lewis became extremely wealthy, and his name got into the records of in- numerable battles. And that, when you stop to think about it, is @ queer way to win fame -—to have one’s name given to an in- strument of death. Not one man in a thousand knows anything about Col- onel Lewis himself; but everyone knows about the Lewis gun. Colonel Lewis seems destined to go down to history in company with the iUlustri- ous Dr. Guillotin of France. No one, except a historian, knows | the \nything about Dr. Guillotin—but what literate human being has failed to hear of the guillotine? The doc- it happens, was a humane tor, as 6.00 1 Frenchman who devised a beheading | machine in order to make the deaths| of condemned criminals as quick and painless as possible; a few years Tater) the French Revolution came along to| make the instrument a world-famous | symbol of blood and terror. There are others in the same com- pany. There is Colonel Shrapnel of ithe British army—you can guess what |he invented. There is Count von Zeppelin, who—during the war at least—was known for the horror that lurked in the night skies. It is a strange, rather uncomfortable way to win fame. Safety at Sea Americans who, through misguided patriotism, imagine that this country; leads the world in everything good or beneficial, might ponder a fact an- nounced in a recent report of the de- partment of commerce. It is the simple statement that United States vessels now may enter foreign ports on a legal parity with others rather than by virtue of inter- national courtesy. The reason les in the fact that the United States has adopted the inter- national load-line convention, signed at London in 1930 and ratified by the ‘United States this year. The load-line pact is designed to prevent over-burdening sea-going ves- sels. To protect the safety of pas- sengers, crew and property, it is nec- essary that a ship be loaded with no more than it safely can carry. Other nations have had such a regulation for years, but the United States was slow in falling into line. The reason is problematical, but one of the bene- fits set up as accruing from the Lon- don agreement is that the “careful, conservative operator is removed from the unfair competition of the small minority of owners who may be tempted to give more weight to the possible profit of a voyage than to the safety of the crew.” Many of us have had the opinion that American ships were being dis- criminated against in many instances. Perhaps they were, but the revelations of the department of commerce in the load-line matter gives rise to the| thought that there may have been reasons for the prejudice.

Standard—low quality but not ille-/ gal.” ‘The reason for this is a law passed. at the last session of congress andj the justification for the law is that not all packers and canners seemed) disposed to meet the standards en- acted under the pure-food act. ‘This year the notation may be secn only on sub-standard peas, pears, peaches, apricots, cherries and toma-| toes, these being the only products | on which standards were announced: in time to affect this year’s pack.

The law serves another purpose, in} that it will force a lower price on sub-standard goods and some ver-! sons, working on a close budget, may, If 80, the prefer to purchase them. price will be in proportion to quality.

Perverted Purpose (New York World-Telegram) “There is but one basic Constitu- tional function served by the census. It is to provide an enumeration of the people for the purpose of redis- tributing representation proportioned thereto. The debates in the Constitutional convention clearly prove that this necessity was the sole Motive for requiring the decennial census at all.” ‘We quote Senator Vandenberg of Michigan, in a speech made in the senate in 1928. The framers of the federal Consti- tution would be pleasantly amazed to see the varied and useful data we now get when we take a census. But they would be horrified to se> what the party system has done to their original simple plan of redis- tributing representation. ‘What would the Fathers have said; had they known that in a few dec- | ades the parties and the census would Produce Mississippi's famous “Shoe String” Congressional District, 500 miles long by 40 miles wide, or the district in Pennsylvania shaped like a dumbbell, or the one, in Missouri “contrived longer, if measured along its windings, than the state itself”?

MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association The variety of names that has been, applied to chicken-pox indicates the confusion that exists in the public mind regarding what the disease ac- tually is. Dr. W. W. Bauer points out, in a recent article that chicken-pox has been called water pock, glass pock and crystal pock. The medical name for it is varicella. resembles smallpox in some of its outward manifestations, it has also been called the false smallpox. often in children. It is highly contagious and spreads rapidly from one person to ‘another. Usually one attack of chicken-pox is enough to protect a person against later attacks. The disease usually de- velops in a child about two weeks after it has been exposed to contact with another child that hag had the disease. This fact is important in determining the point from which the disease is spread. Chicken-pox occurs most Because it Australian | ee troops had entered the city without opposition the day before. Jerusalem itself was threatened with the taking of Jaffa. Accounts of the capture of the city said that many of Jaffa’s in- abitants had left in March, 1917, but On Nov. 18, 1917, British forces} jthat many remained.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXVI HE “Gypsy” was made ready to sail on Tuesday, Monday night Mary had a telephone call from Dirk. He had jyst received her letter, he said. “Did you want to sec me?” he asked formally, “Why, yes,” Mary replied. “Don’t you—want to see me?” There was a short wait before he answered, “Of course, Shall I come over?” He was setting a distance between them but then it was he whose feelings had been injured. They would talk it over and it would be all right, Mary dressed without any par- ticular enthusiasm. Dirk was com: ing now but tomorrow she would be gone. It was a rather hollow sort of happiness she felt, but it was better than not seeing Dirk at all. When he came, he sat down be- alde her casually, but made no move’ to touch her. Mary felt the least bit rebuffed. Ho looked worried and strained, and her heart went out to him. sorry I left you like that,” id gently. « “I know,” he said. right.” Another silence fell. “Thad to know about those finger- prints, Whether they were The Fly's, she oxplained. “I couldn't wait, | Haven't you ever felt that “That's all wi He shrugged, “I suppose you were anxious, of course,” he said. “What did you find out?’ “They were his, The Bertillon men at police headquarters checked them.” Dirk cleared his throat. “You understand, don’t you, that the gun's being his doesn’t prove con- clusively that it was The Fly who fired it? It was the murder gun, of course; I’ve had it in the hands of ballistic experts, and there's no doubt about that part. But—I don’t mean to hurt your feelings again— but how can you prove to a jury that {t was The Fly who was the murderer, rather than—than some- one else?’ “We can't. We're not even try- ing to, The Fly himself will do that for us.” “If you're lucky.” “It we're lucky. And {f we play our cards just right. But the least slip, the least word—and it’s all spoiled. It’s possible that’s hap- You aran’t very popular with George Bowen just pened already. now. The Fly's left town, you know.” Dirk looked at her in bewilder- ment. “I’m not popular? What've I to do with it?” “Didn't you go back to Shay’s vith a warrant for him?” “Certainly not.” “Well—! Then who—?” ‘This was a new state of affairs, Somebody else on the Fly's trail? Who could it be? “Bowen naturally supposed it was you,” she faltered apologetically, “You'd just been saying the thing to do was arrest The Fly and when the police came down on the place Bowen jumped to the conclusion—" “He does @ good deal of that, I'm thinking,” Dirk commented drily. eee ‘ARY was in no mood to resent anything Dirk might say against the absent Bowen. She was ‘too mystified—too busy speculating. . “Who do you think it could have been?” she asked. “He's probably got a dozen rack- ots,” Dirk replied, “The cops might be after him for any one of them. Or it might be for some fool thing ke parking overtime. He ran, like they all do, They don’t like a pinch, even for a minor offense—it's bad for their rackets.” Considerable wind had been taken out of Mary's sails by this dis- covery but she was none the regretful that it had taken place. The Fly was gone and what assur- ance had she that she could find him again? Nothing but Bowen's guess—and Bowen could be wrong, as this slip-up showed. For a moment she felt panicky— she was committed to so much, just on the strength of that chance that The Fly would show up at the track when his horse ran her big race. If he Were really frightened he might stay away, Although he would probably feel: himself safe enough. ‘Unless the offense were a serious one, extradition from Florida would be more than the New York police would trouble with. The idea that the Fly's arrest had been sought by Inspector Kane occurred to her but was instantly dismissed, In her last interview with him he had been so emphati- cally disinterested in following up the case, that such a decided change in his point of view seemed un- likely. Kane had been “bought off,” and he would stay that way, she was sure. He was the sort of boot- licker to do just that. ‘Well, she was sailing in the morn- ing, probably on a wild-goose chase, but she couldn't back out now.

She almost. wished she had not embarked on such an insane adventure, Much better to remain safely at home where women belonged and have no thoughts of one’s own—then one could not be mistaken, and deserv- edly laughed at. Dirk put his hand on hers, looked earnestly into her face. “Why not forget it?” he begged. “I wish I could,” she murmured unhappily. “But—we've made so many plans—you've no idea what Preparations have been made.

Your father said you'd -gone away—for the week- end.” She felt again the stab of jealousy that had gone through her at sight of Bruce on Cornelia Ta- bor’s tennis-court. Dirk looked at her cautiously but said nothing. Mary tried to keep her manner casual, her tone light. “Did you have a good time? I'm terribly jealous, of course. You know that,” she said banteringly. Dirk fished for a cigaret, leaned back, “You needn't be,” he re- “It wasn’t a pleasure trip.

Was mindedness, or had his stiffness melted for good? Mary relaxed happily against the pillows and listened, with only half her mind attentive to what Dirk was saying. Ho looked down at her, smiling. “Too bad,” he said. “He was so thing | anxious to meet you, too.” “Meet me?” Mary sat up. “Sure, you. Ethel took me aside and told me. Connie never would have peeped.

It was rather delicious revenge to have had that happen to Connie. But then, Connie had had her revenge by asking Dirk. Tho score was even, “She didn’t ask me,” Mary mur- mured, puzzled. “Was that why?” “Well—no,” Dirk flushed. Then he burst out “What could I say? That we'd had a fight? I told her you'd gone to Hot Springs for a few days to rest. That was when she asked me to fill in.” He looked at her apologetically. “Takes some- body with a strong constitution to get along with Ethel. She has to be slugged every so often to keep her in her place.” Mary laughed. “And you're the brute to do it,” she agreed. “But who was this other chap?” Some- how the episode did not ring en- tirely true . . . something about it had set her to wondering. Sho looked at him with earnestly puck- ered brow. “It couldn’t have gotten out about the new will leaving the Jupiter money to me, could it?” Dirk’s scornful gesture didn’t en- tirely reassure her. “When was this invitation given, Friday?” Mary pursued thought- fully.
