(Official City, Si and County | Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON A Fact We Overlook Judge William M. Lewis of Phila- delphia has announced that jobless men who steal to feed their families will receive no punishment in his court. Philadelphia has some 250,000 un- employed, and for the past month they have received neither money nor food from the unemployment com- changes. New Radio Waves Announcement from Italy to the effect that Marconi, wizard of wire- less, has managed to bend ultra- short radio waves so that he may be able to utilize them for communica- tion over long distances should elicit no surprise, Signor Marconi’s name has been connected with this modern marvel for so long that anything he may say about it has the same weight as though it came from an oracle. The old-fashioned wireless, which first captured the public imagination when the late Jack Binns first sent out a “C, Q. D.” to save a shipload of passengers, has been superseded by many developments and improve- ments and Marconi has been in the forefront of radio science all of these years. Byrd talked from the South Pole via the short wave and now comes Marconi with the ultra-short wave. At first he could use it only between points which were within sight of each other. The presence of a tree or a house shut them off. Now, how- ever, he has managed to overcome this difficulty and the test recently announced was made over a distance of some 200 kilometers. Development of the ultra-short wave may mean the junking of a great deal of apparatus and radical changes in the design of radio sets as well as more reliable communica- tion through the ether. We may de- pend on Marconi’s genius to develop it fully and test out its powers. He is an unusual man and appar- ently one with a one-track mind. From the first he has been a wire- less enthusiast and his devotion to its improvement has never flagged. Even though he has attained ease and fortune, his interest in this child of his brain has never waned and mittee. A number of them, says) Judge Lewis, have taken to stealing | in their desperation; but when such men come before him they are promptly put on probation. Probably there won't be anyone in he evidently is working just as hard now as when he was a young and struggling inventor at whom people laughed and touched their heads in amused tolerance when he spoke of talking without wires. yi H ” mess the current grasshopper damage the country to quarrel with the stand this judge has taken. To recognize } that the man who is driven to crime in order to keep his wife and chil- dren from starving is not in the same class with the professional house- breaker or stick-up man is only com-| mon sense, | But it is a little odd, when you stop/ to think about it, that it has taken| a business depression of unparalleled severity to make us accept this ob- vious fact. In ordinary times our tendency is; to make the punishment fit the crime. The man who steals property of such | and such a value must stay in prison for such and such a period; the man who holds another up on the high- way gets a similarly inelastic sen- tence; and while efforts have been made, through probation depart-| ments, the use of the indeterminate} sentence and so on, to soften the rough edges of these harsh rules, we have not got so very far away from! the old, traditional code. Such men as Clarence Darrow have | been trying for years to make us un-} derstand that the compelling motive back of most criminal acts is the eco- nomic one. Dig back far enough into the life of even the most hardened yegg and you are apt to find that same desperate craving for the ne-| cessities of life. Later, to be sure,| the criminal may follow his calling} for other reasons; but his origins, in| ~ a tremendous number of cases, stem straight from the swamp of hopeless poverty. Until we accept that fact, we shall} never make any headway in the age- long “war on crime.”. The Claw and Fang | Discovery in Yellowstone National} Park of a bug-eating plant, first of its kind to be found in the Rocky mountain area, recently was announc- ed by a naturalist. Known as sundew, the plant has carnivorous instincts, and lures flies, ants and bugs of all kinds into a trap. Known to scientists as drosera, the plant excretes a sweet, dewy nec- tar on the fuzzy hair of its petals, This plant, found by Ranger Natur- alist William Evans at Old Faithful, is believed to be the first one found in the Rocky mountain area. The plant is now on exhibit at the Mam- moth museum. Sundew is a small bog plant, a relative of the Venus flytrap, and pe- culiar in that it subsists partially at Jeast upon insects. Leaves are baited with a sweet dew which attracts in- sects. When an insect alights, the red, hairlike glands close upon the insect, holding it captive until the plant has absorbed all of the nour- ishment available. By a secretion of ensymes the plant is able to absorb all the food from its victim. After only the hard covering of the insect is left, the leaf opens and casts out the “bones” of the feast, and sets its trap for the next victim. . By so doing this plant reverses an almost universal rule of nature, since the usual thing is for insects and animals to feed on plants, as wit- That kind of man frequently gets little out of life, as the rest of us value it, but he often contributes a great deal to the world’s advance- ment. Financing a Fair Some idea of the extent and size of the forthcoming world’s fair at Chicago may be gleaned from the fi- nancial statement of the enterprise, recentiy made public. Already industrial exhibit buildings valued at $4,000,000 have been con- tracted for and contracts for conces- sions and amusements total $3,000,000 more. The federal government ap- propriated $1,000,000 for its exhibit and the states and territories are ex- pected to contribute $3,000,000 more. North Dakota, alone, is understood to be paying $9,000 for the relatively small space which its exhibit will oc- cupy. Foreign governments are expected to pay millions more for additional space in order that their products may be viewed during that period when Chicago will literally become the cross-roads of the world. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. ‘They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies. | Russian Business (New York World-Telegram) Reports that large American banks and industrialists are to cooperate with Russia in marketing its gold bonds bring added evidence that American business understands the importance of Russian trade even if the administration does not. Those American banks and compa- nies have done business with Moscow in the past and have found the Rus- sians absolutely reliable in keeping {agreements and paying bills—which, unfortunately, cannot be said for some other foreign and domestic cus- tomers. But our sales to Russia, amounting to $114,000,000 in 1930 and $103,000,000 in 1931, have fallen off 90 per cent this year as a result of the adminis- tration’s anti-Russian policy and its blighting effects on credits. Now American business, apparently, is de- termined to regain that much-needed Russian trade regardless of the ad- ministration. There are signs that this business pressure, and the obvious need of Russian-American cooperation to Preserve the peace treaties against Japanese aggression, are slowly forc- ing the administration to a more realistic attitude toward Russia. Most of the senators on the Foreign Relations Committee and most of the leaders of both parties in congress are in favor of an official trade agree- ment or recognition of Russia, as shown in recent Scripps-Howard in- terviews. For the sake of world peace and of American prosperity, we hope Hoover will not wait too long to take this inevitable step, ANOTHER ANCESTOR Minneapolis, Minn.—Delving geol- ogists have been digging up prehis- toric men all over the world, and the latest one to be brought to light is the “Minnesota Man,” whose bones were found by road builders.

A FRIEND WILL TELL YOU Everybody's breath has an odor of its own, not always a pronounced odor, but an odor. The trouble is you have the wrong kind of friends. But does your snobbish, insincere at- titude about these things inspire real friendship? Well, never mind. Just listen to Ole Doc Brady, who wants to be friendly to everybody within proper limitations. Maybe what I will teach you, if you listen, will help you to achieve closer friendship with your associates. Every human being has not only a characteristic breath odor but a char- acteristic body odor, too. If the! stresses and strains which civilized life imposes upon the olfactory per- | ception so dull that sense that it be- comes numb to all but the more em-j phatic odors, that doesn’t alter the} fact that everybody's breath has an odor. A favorite line of charlatans is} that foul breath indicates “poor elim- | ination.” That obviously makes aj good cue for the quack to bring on all his familiar bag of tricks, such as fasting, dietary fads, his own health foods, colon irrigations and maybe a course of exotic sweat baths or pretty light treatments or some- thing if the quack has the equipment. for such monkey business. As a matter of fact, faulty elimina- tion has nothing to do with the odor of the breath. Reverse peristalsis may account for the bad breath in some cases, but that is quite inde-| pendent of the function of excretion! or elimination. Reverse of the direction of the ‘wave | of movement in the stomach, causing | return of the normal gastric juice into the esophagus or gullet explains the symptom commonly called “heart- burn.” If some of the acid fluid rises into the throat it produces “wa- terbrush.” Many persons who, though never ill nor sick (in the American and English sense of the words), yet have a fur or coating on the tongue &: every morning, perhaps a “brown | wrong and will neither thin the blood nor enable you to withstand heat.

(Copyright, John F. Dille Co.) AFTERMATH New York, Aug. 17.—The financial follies of Flo Ziegfeld will be pro- duced any day now. Claims against the Ziegfeld estate glorified revue. Twice a millionaire, Ziegfeld could hear the Wolf Song outside his door with Wall Street fur- nishing the sound effects. His Hastings-on-Hudson estate was mortgaged; the old Ziegfeld offices are closed and the phone discon- nected and the scramble will be for such items as creditors can turn into cash, ** # Perhaps one of the glorifier’s most valuable heirlooms will be a single word—“Follies.” While some doubt had been expressed concerning the rights to this inheritance, Billie Burke, the widow, may find it an outstanding asset. And it may be that rather than see this name pass into the hands of those she consid- taste’ and a heavy or unpleasant breath, are suffering from reverse Pperitalsis merely. All this, be it em- anybody may contract from contact with any foul discharge. Baby Dislikes Milk I fear I took the baby’s bottle away too late.

That particular type of show girl, it is argued, is on its last shapely legs and a new epoch is at hand. The very smart revues have moved in, The satiric “Face the Mu- sic” and “Of Th Sing,” the so- phisticated “B: on” and simi- lar productions « pointed out as establishing the nz.’ vogue. Revival of his classic “Show Boat” was the one money show in Ziegfeld’s recent list. Costumers were suing for non-payment of bills on the defunct “Hot Cha” when the great glorifier was stricken. * * x And such is the up-and-down na- ture of Broadway that one of Zieg- feld’s own glorified graduates finds herself an inheritor of the sole Zieg- feld production. She is Peggy Fears, and her husband, A. C. Blumenthal, was the millionaire backer of “Show Boat.” The Blumenthals assumed management of the Ziegfeld proper- ties immediately after the showman’s death. ee PROSPECT FOR GHOSTS Those myriad alleged heirs to the fabulous Wendel fortune have shown so little interest in the Fifth Avenue mansion of the Wendels that its win- dows go, unwashed and its blue fall like tinsel at the finale of a|shades undusted. While litigation gets more involved and fictionesque claims bob up in Scotland and way points, the old Wendel manse itself seems daily to grow more down-at-heel. Since the will fight gained national eminence, the sight-seeing busses have put the ancient dwelling on their route; tourists go blocks out of their way to stare and, of Sundays, family parties from the Bronx crane necks.

His chief amuse- ment lies in robbing me. You will hear much of El Coyote, sefior, The bandit most famous of the southwest border. Also he docs me the honor to be my personal enemy, although Ihave never seen him. But his raids ‘are almost always against me. Not too freely do men speak of him, sefior, for no one knows who are his friends.” “He has friends?” “Friends? Of a surety. Friends and followers— perhaps powerful ones.
