As a witness before the committee investigating graft in New York city,| Mayor Walker admitted Thursday that he and Paul Block, famous pub- Usher who writes inspirational things for his newspapers, had a joint brok- erage account. The mayor put noth- ing in but took out $246,000. Put Publisher Block down as a $246,000 “friend” of wise-cracking) Jimmy. Asked the source of this; quarter million dollars worth of friendship, Mayor Walker said: “I would prefer you ask Mr. Block.” The committee doubtless will and the an- swer should be interesting.

The mayor put in nothing but his profit was $10,000. List Mr. O'Brien as a $10,000 friend. Attending a dinner in Atlantic City, the mayor was told of a pool in an oil stock. It cost him nothing to enter but the mayor profited $26,- 000. | Previously, the committee had un- covered the fact that an executive of bus concern, which was seeking a New York franchise, suddenly took a liking to the mayor and made him} | i an outright gift of some $25,000 in} chise. { They are talking of running Walker for a third term in New York and: the election should show what the | people of the nation’s metropolis think of a man who has such tre-| ‘great experiment” bonds.

Awards wholly inconsistent with actual injuries suffered are to be deplored. It is utterly false reasoning on the part of jurymen to assume that ‘the insurance company will pay, so why not give the plaintiff what he wants.’ Every excessive automobile lia bility verdict tends to increase the cost of each policyholder’s protection.” | A Modest Aviatrix ; Mrs. Amelia Earhart Putnam cap- her modest, simple and unaffected demeanor. She frankly admitted that her aviation effort was only a stunt. Mrs. Putnam declared, in addressing a few friends at a luncheon, “my flight adds nothing to aviation. It ply a social visit on my part. I don’t expect to make another such trip but I think transatlantic flying on regu- lar schedule will take place in our! Recently stunt flying has given) place to careful, if rather routine, de-! velopment of aviation. The Atlantic} has been spanned so many times by| aviators that the only thrill in Mrs.} Putnam’s flight was the fact that she is the first woman to make a solo flight over that treacherous course. Her courage was impressive and she deserved the acclaim received. All the world loves pluck. Doubtless Mrs. Putnam is all too modest in her esti- mate of the daring flight she made over the Atlantic. A cynic, writing in a New York newspaper, recently said that Amelia Earhart “has given us a magnificent display of useless courage.” The world generally will hardly agree. Adventure, after all, is the spice of life and answer enough to the hard- boiled utilitarian who always wants to know “What does it set you any- way?” | To See Ourselves as Others See Us! ane ame, rH UPRIGHT ciTizEN ‘LAW VIOLATIOF PuBLic DisResPecr WAND ORDER, Amelia Earhart in her simple mes- sage to the Londoners has answered her critics. Prohibition and the G. 0. P. | At conferences in Washington, Re- publican leaders and President Hoo- ver are attempting to frame a plat- form plank on prohibition which will meet the dilemma sure to face the national convention in Chicago. They are frankly hoping to hit upon some- thing which will satisfy both the drys and wets within the party. Apparently it is a question of tak- ing a definite stand on one side or the other or of writing something in- to the platform which the wets will think is wet and which the drys will think is dry. The aim is to hit upon a solution like President Hoover's stand of 1928, which now is rising to haunt him. If the politicians run true to form} they will seize upon something which! means fish to fish, flesh to flesh, and fowl to fowl, thus defeating any seri- ous effort to solve this vexing prob- | lem. i It is to L> hoped they will take aj firm stand on one side or the other, | but that seems too much to hope for. a STOWAWAY SEASON OPENS. New York, May 27.—Stowaway tales can generally be depended upon to get | underway at this season of the year, with young men packing themselves in boxes and young women trying to hide in funnels. Arrest and fine have been threatened by way of discour-| agement, but devices for beating the game continue to be invented. And, oddly enough, the handsome French liner Ile de France is most otten chos.- en by the adventurers on both sides of the Atlantic, Ke * This year's prize effort, and one worthy of a place with the best of them, is relayed to me by a lawyer who figured indirectly. The attorney sailed recently and was parading the upper deck about get-away time when @ young man approached, and after an exchange of commonplaces an- nounced that he was stowing away and hoped the lawyer would respect his confidence. “You see,” said the young man, “I’ve noticed that one of the great troubles is with the passport.

When the argu- the well-dressed mayor was having @ little difficulty maintaining the reputation which he has so blithely given himself. It is unfair to judge Mayor Walker at this distance, of course, but a sound inference, in so far as the vota €rs are concerned, would seem to be: “Beware of those officeholders whose influence and friendship accomplishes 80 much. There may be a catch in it somewhere.” Cost of Careless Driving Bismarck, as well as other commu- | 4 nities, has been having its usual spring epidemic of careless driving. , ‘There have been some deaths in this | vicinity through auto accidents and a} great number of collisions which for- | ‘tunately ended only in bruises. | _ | Now comes the news that in 1932) , automobile liability rates have gone | 4 up between 33 per cent and 40 per cent.

D. A. C.) There has been a tendency during the last decade to practice a laissez- | faire policy in education. The preva- Jent opinion seems to be: “Let the student alone; let him find his own| solution.” This theory has been put in practice in many experimental col- leges, the most recent example of which is the new plan in operation at the University of Chicago, where a student is allowed to progress at his own rate of speed. The theory in itself may be excel- lent, but one that is being a trifle overworked. It is admitted that there is too much knowledge for an indi- vidual to discover for himself in one| lifetime. For this reason he must not only be guided, but he must also} learn. | In our childhood we were taught | the alphabet, the multiplication ta- bles. We memorized hundreds of} lines that we neither appreciated nor understood, and yet we cannot say| that this learning was ill-advised, al-/ though it did not inspire us to think! for ourselves. | Under the older schemes of educa- | |tion children were forced to learn a! great amount of material or be disci- | Plined severely.

Natur- ally, it is not enough to fill a student with information. Nevertheless, there is a vast and growing fund of knowl- edge that he must simply acquire. Life is too short to regard everything are locked in purses’ and this thought out in the mat- @s an open question. In spite of our better psychology, the task of the ed- ucator is still to impart knowledge. The first thing a student must learn his elbows on the table, and to learn!

But he didn’t figure with the elements, and a heavy fog hanging over the water and a number of hours elapsed be- tween the last swig of gin and the ship's arrival at Sandy Hook. Alas, the young man showed up too soon with his complaint. He came back to New York in the pilot boat. Which is just another for the statis- tics—for stowaways almost never make it! *# *& ® WHAT AN IDEA! I am told that the latest addition to thirst taverns in New York is oper- ated by a fellow who, before the crash, was a prosperous trader on the street. As his assets grew slimmer and slim- mer, he decided that a living might be made in an originally-designed “whisper-low.” So he took a barn-like spot and made it look like a remnant of pov- erty row. He sought customers from his own kind—fellow Wall Streeters and business men who had been hard hit. And they tell me the novelty is clicking! Just the sort of place, they say, for airing their hard luck stories. ee * New York's most avid “fire chaser” remains Dr. Harry Archer, who} though a wealthy private citizen, nev- | er misses a race to a blaze if he can help it.

Indeed, a tendency to de- velop one boil after another should raise the suspicion of diabetes and warrant at least a careful examina- tion for evidences of such functional deficiency. Perhaps there are other systemic factors which retard or im- pair the healing process. But it is idle to imagine that “poor blood” ac-| counts for delay in the healing of ordinary cuts, wounds or minor in- juries. What do you mean by “poor blood”? I hope not what the nos- customers believe. When any one springs this ques- tion on me, and some one does every day, I neatly evade by asking another question, namely, what have you used by way of remedy or treatment? Not that I am at all curious about that. On the contrary I am indifferent, for no matter what you have put on the little wound or injury I know the treatment is.only a necessary evil at best and a handicap upon the heal- ing process as a general rule. Having found out what first aid dressing and subsequent treatment you have given the injury, I am ina Position to explain, at least to my own Satisfaction, why the healing is so slow in your case. Do you begin to comprehend? No, I suppose not. Well, I'll do my best to make it clear, though I am not at all certain you will get it, for that depends on your reception. For many years our research work- ers have sought antiseptics or germi- cides which will actually hamper the multiplication and growth of germs in the living tissues and at the same time not seriously harm the delicate young tissue cells which must mul- {tiply and grow to form the new tis- sue in any healing process. Nearly every spring, about the time the new {fashions in clothing and headgear are brought out, a remarkable new anti- |septic is introduced to the profession and the public, and the new anti- septic always has extraordinary power ito dispose of germs and yet none of ‘%|the harmful effects on tissues that smoke!

Orifices Are Outlets Are there minute openings in the human skin called “pores”? If this is not true, how does the perspira- tion penetrate through the skin? Can you explain why dictionaries and home medical books define pores as minute orifices in the skin?—(R. C.) Answer—The only openings or ori- fices in the skin are the outlets of the sebaceous and sweat glands. Per- spiration does not penetrate through the skin. Sweat flows out through the orifices of the sweat glands.

He felt no anger, only @ deep and abiding sadness. What a fool he had been! Of course the child would turn to someone of her own age. Why shouldn't she? It was as natural as a flower turning toward the sun. He had been a blind and selfish idiot not to have seen it earlier. Waring had warned him and had been right. For a long while Heath pondered how to find a graceful way out. He must manage to save Susan's pride as well as his own. A servant tip- toeing into the library late that night, found Heath etill at his writ- ing table. The crumpled papers in the wastebasket testified to agontes of literary composition. Heath was folding several thick, creamy sheets and putting them into an envelope. “I wish you would take this and dinner.

She could not break her word at the eleventh hour, There was something of the martyr in her, perhaps. At any rate she had not been able to bring herself to give Bob the promise he wanted.
