In recent months some organiza- tions have accused war veterans of attempting to make of themselves a favored class. Whatever truth there may be in this contention, there is no one who can honestly say that the man who still suffers physical, men- tal or nervous ills is favored. He has only a daily opportunity to de- monstrate anew the patriotism which reached so high a fervor during the war. | Many of these men are but shatter- | ed hulks of the brave young lads who marched forth so blithely to war) —and a living death. All of them have been denied the joys and satis- factions of normal life. They re- main as living examples of both the horror of war and the devotion to} country which has preserved this na-}| tion in time of stress. | The least we, who are more favor- ed, can do, is to remember them. And we can prove our memory by purchasing one of the little flowers made by their hands. Defending Their Jobs The contest between railroads and) | busses for traffic in North Dakota} enters a new phase with the organ-| ization of “Ship-By-Rail”’ associa-| tions, sponsored largely by railroad) workers.

It is their duty, and every citi- {zen who is loyal to the American; scheme of things will wish them well. The Need to Laugh In the midst of the political rant- ing which has assailed our ears and| eyes for more than a month, Amer-j ica finds that it still can laugh. in the country. To be sure, the professional hu- morists have betrayed us and their efforts have usually turned sour, but enough amusement, even though the average man is inclined to see the grimmer side of the situation. One of the tragedies of the cam-| paign as a spectacle has been the failure of the cartoonists on the Re-, publican side to inject real humor into the campaign. In the past they have done rather well, but evidently they are at. their best as front run- ners, The Democrats have never] been notable in this respect for the business of making a campaign has been a desperate matter with them in the past, but this year they are/ perking up. It would appear that the old adage of “as a man thinketh in his heart so is he,” applies particularly to the political funmakers. They like the smooth going and the downhill pull. They are at their best when jubila- tion looms. Recognition of the fact that the turned Republican humor to acid and has made villification of what was in- tended to be buffoonery. But Secretary Mills and President Hoover have saved the day. They have given laughs in plenty to an electorate which sorely needs them. Mr. Mills’ declarations of Republican efficiency and prescience probably head the list but Hoover's contention that his reelection is necessary to save the American form of govern- ment, made Monday night at New York City, registers as the humorous classicism to date. The laugh, however, may be un- pleasant to the presidential ears. It is of the “horse” variety. Our Leading Money Maker And now it turns out that our leading money-maker is not Henry Ford, any of the Rockefellers or J. P. Morgan but Charles A. Baker. He has retired from the federal bureau of printing and engraving after 50) years of making the bills which the| fortunate carry around in their| Pockets. It is a unique distinction but the probability is that announcement of| Baker's retirement is the first time| he has ever made the front pages of the newspapers. His trouble is that} he has made enough but hasn’t been | able to keep much of it, the same as a lot of other folks.

It is easy to understand the re-| actions of railroad workers to the) lack of business which their employ- | ers have encountered. Without freight and passengers to haul there | is no business, and scarcity of busi- ness is readily translated into a lack! of jobs. The situation is amply illu- strated by the condition of many Bismarck railroad men, some of them with as much as 20 years of service, who are without regular runs. | The current situation has brought | home ‘to us all the interdependence | of labor, capital and management in} the nation’s great industrial enter-| prises, just as it has shocked us into} examination of the economic ma- chinery which we all admired so en- thusiastically when we were heading toward the toboggan slide. As a re- sult, we find the entire transporta- tion system needs a going-over to cure existing evils and abuses. One of the latter is the use of “pauper” labor by “wildcat” truckers which has sprung up in recent years, The railway employes’ and taxpayers’ association of Virginia illustrates the phrase by citing the case of two! brothers, both elderly men, who bought and repaired second-hand trucks and engaged in the business! of hauling fruit from Florida to the leading eastern cities. The drivers are farm boys who, having no other jobs, are willing to work for board and lodging and a supposed oppor- tunity to see the sunny south. They make the round-trip of 2,400 miles in five days, an average of 480 miles aday. This is accomplished by driv- ing from three in the morning to nine at night, with a boy at the wheel, Drums are attached to the truck bodies in which gasoline, pur- chased if possible without payment of taxes, is carried in sufficient quan- tity to supply the truck on the round trip. Thus high gasoline taxes in the southern states are evaded. ‘The trucks do plenty of business, for their rates are lower than those offered by the railroads. ‘There is a legitimate field for both | | over | snatched from their child owners by ; gowns. The Higher Cruelty (Chicago Tribune) In the heart of the downtown area of Chicago a store has been taken by anti-vivisectionists as a propagands center. It is their pur- pose to have laws enacted which will | make it extremely difficult if not im- possible to obtain animals for experi- mental and instructional purposes in | the medical schools of the state. A lurid window display suggests that many of the animals used in the schools are pets which have been ruthless monsters in operating room If that were true, which it is not, and if the animals were subjected to great suffering, which they are not, the use of animals in laboratories would still be justified as few things | in this world can be justified.

ALL LOOKS YELLOW TO THE JAUNDICED EYE | Saireygamp, Ben Told and Mrs.| Sumsey give considerable amusement to people of fair intelligence; they! harm only the ignorant. But few! laymen know themselves well enough | to be immune to the malignant sug-| gestion that your liver must be out| of order as your eyes are a trifle} jaundiced. I know this suggestion made me take a good deal of calomel, podophyllin and salts when I was) young and credulous. I estimate the average intelligent layman knows as| much of such things as I did when I} was a freshman in college. | Certain medicines do produce a spurt or discharge of bile from the gall-bladder and bile-ducts into the, duodenum. Perhaps the most ef- fective medicine for the purpose is a large dose of magnesium sulphate (Epsom salts). Because this is so ef-} fective it is commonly employed by! physicians when they desire to ol tain a specimen of the bile for analy sis; the magnesium sulphate solution is either injected through the duo-; denal tube or it is swallowed by the} patient as an ordinary dose of salts. Mind it produces ejection of bile; it has no effect on the secretion of bile or on the removal of bile from the system. It is little if any more e! fective for causing the ejection of bile from the gall-bladder and _bile- ducts than is a meal or a lunch of! ordinary food particularly food con- taining a considerable proportion of fat. In preceding talks we ve pointed standing | ancient fancies no medicine causes | more than a feeble and insignificant | increase in the secretion of bile Therefore it is purely fanciful that! this or that medicine “regulates the liver” or “makes a torpid liver more} active” or in any way improves the function of the liver. We must not they but examined the record, that animal experimentation has served | to conquer the plagues which afflict | the lower animals as it has also | served to conquer the plagues which | afflict mankind. | There is a grim irony in the loca-j tion which these sentimentalists have | chosen as their headquarters. They have set up shop in the heart of a great city. They do not seem to sense,even vaguely, the plain fact that there could be no urban life as we know it if animal experimentation had not been practiced in the past.! Only through animal experimenta- | tion has it been possible to conquer the great plagues which a few cen-! turies ago prevented the existence of | great cities. | Without animal experimentation we would walk in fear of plague, of typhus, of typhoid, of malaria, and yellow fever. Diphtheria would still take its toll of child lives. Surgery would be primitive and anesthesia unduly risky. Much of our knowl- edge of physiology and of life pro- cesses, upon which the progress of medicine in the future depends, would be lost to us unless, indeed, men instead of guinea pigs and dogs were used in the laboratories. The question arises whether any of the good people who are financing this promotion of ignorance and suf- fering ever eats a beefsteak. If 50, it would be interesting to know how they justify the slaughter of a steer that they may eat its flesh while op- posing the painless slaughter of a few dogs, The death of the steer will keep a few people alive for a few days.

RAINY DAY NOTE New York, Nov. 4—The abstract problem concerning the number of angels able to stand on the point of a needle has little on the more prac- tical Broadway problem of how many people can gather under a theater marquee during a hard downpour. On a premiere night, when the la- dies are minked, ermined and saf- fron slippered; when the gents are top-hatted, evening-coated and shod in patent leather, then a storm breeds such confusion as you're not likely to see again in the length and breadth of the world. . The very people who huddle to- gether like uncertain and perplexed victims of a shipwreck are likely to be those who would comfort them- selves with a glacial attitude toward the amenities if gathered in a salon. But now they pack, shove and com- plain like so many subway addicts. * * OK GOOD-BYE ETIQUETTE! Along a street streaked with pris- matic reflections, mounted police slosh their horses; their long, caped raincoats causing them to seem like so many rubber-garbed sheiks, They have a loud-voiced indifference for tall hats and ragged trousers alike. Somehow they must keep a trail open. And try to do this when the hardest- boiled taxi drivers of the world are jockeying for position with the most astute of liveried chauffeurs. The | Presumption is that the swanky pri- | vate cars get the first break. But taxis cut in like smitten swains at @ collegiate dance. If the downpour increases, the tangle enmeshes accordingly. Ladies who rarely lift their voices above a Polite parlor tone, suddenly shout out rebukes against a worried husband or escort who lets a cab get away from him.

She had not known that he was a gun- man. Evelyn Howard, whom Fanchon had met on a voyage from Hawaii, is aboard. She is enroute | to New York to live with her wealthy aunt, Mrs. ison Car- | Stairs, whom she has never seen. | The plane crashes and all but | Fanchon are killed. Grasping the | pportunity to start life anew, Fanchon goes to the Carstairs home as Evelyn. Mrs. Carstairs affection wins her heart. At Southampton, awaiting the arrival of her son, Col- | lin, Mrs. Carstairs warns Fanchon not to take him seriously. CHAPTER XIII The man who approached her was very tall and broad shouldered. He was quite dark, with thick black hair and dark eyes and a small mus. tache. He walked as lightly as a cat, he wore slightly shabby, expen- sive clothes beautifully, and he was | very good-looking and’in a very bad temper.

She | realized now with a wrenching pang that the great price of discovery and the relinquishing of her masquerade would not be the danger threatening her from exposure, the danger from Tony himself, but the disillusion- ment and righteous anger which she must face from Jennie Carstairs, This was Collin then, She stared at him. He pulled up a low rustic bench, sat down, pulled a flat gold cigarette case from his pocket, opened it and meticulously offered it to Fanchon. Mechanically she shook her head, fighting for composure, for words. And waiting for him to go on, to tell her how he | knew... what he knew. “Now,” said Collin Carstairs, lighting a cigarette and expelling the first blue smoke, “now, we may as well have it out! I know, of course, that coming to New York under my mother’s protection was infinitely better than indefinite school teach- ing. I don’t blame xu for jumping at the opportunity. I merely wanted to explain to you if my mother has not—and I don’t suppose she has— why I am unalterably opposed to { this arrangement . . .
