To. be sure the atmosphere is one of strict modernism where chang- ing a spouse is hardly more impor- tant than changing socks, but now and then one hears a tragic note which seems out of tune. Take, for example, the case of Da- vid Hutton, who objects to being called “Mr. Aimee Semple McPher- 0 hope that our major political parties uate was a thorough-going young capitalist, the son of the president of a big Illinois manufacturing con- cern, and he hung out his red bunt- ing as a prank, pure and simple, But someone took the flag seriously, some federal official got worrled—and the sleuths got busy. And the whole business looks more than a lttle ridiculous, The Patronage Evil President Roosevelt's action in Putting all postmasters under civil service seems to be a long step in the right direction. And it leads to the will eventually have sense enough to drop the patronage game entirely. That the federal service suffers be- cause parties try to reward their hacks with public office is notori- ous. It is also beginning to be clear that passing out these jobs usually creates more enemies than friends. The number of jobs is strictly limit- ed; the job-hunters are like the sands of the sea, uncountable. For one who is chosen there are a dozen to’be rejected, and those who are rejected are very apt to get sore about it. Deciding to fill state and govern- ment positions on a merit basis might turn out to be good politics as well 48 good government, Overpaid Executives One of the lessons of the depression seems to have been that some of our brightest executives were very grossly overpaid. A case in point is furnished by the story of an Ohio bank, the Guardian Trust Company of Cleveland, which took to its bed at the time of the recent bank holiday, plucked fitfully at the covers and then quietly breathed its last.

When he repays his employers by Permitting his firm to drift straight into insolvency, one hardly needs to soft and low, for her more flamboy- ant personality. He fancied himself, judging by his allegations in a suit for divorce, a modern male counter- part of the “bird in a gilded cage” made famous in many an opera house years ago by singers of all classifica- tions and abilities. Most of us think of caged birds as canaries’ and on this basis Brother Hutton becomes a 200-pound bird of that classification, since he weighs that much on the hoof. Newspapers report the affair quite seriously and it would all be quite distressing were it not for the at- mosphere of peculiar instability which surrounds everything Mrs. Mc- Pherson-Hutton does, Aimee, from mid-ocean, protests her love, doubtless hoping that her unruly spouse will climb back into his cage and wait for her to come home and evangelize him all over again, : But the public need not worry. If this is truly tragedy it need mot weep. be unduly critical to suspect that he was being very greatly overpaid. One wonders just how many firms that went bankrupt in the last few years were supporting big shot exe- cutives in a style to which they had no right to become accustomed. Newspaper ‘Pulling Power’ One of the things the depression years seem to have taught American business men is that the newspaper advertisement is the surest and most effective means of reaching the con- suming public, Figures just made public by the Bureau of Advertising of the Ameri- can Newspaper Publishers’ associa- tion show that newspapers received 59 per cent of the total advertising appropriatoins of 432 national adver- tisers in 1932 and constituted the Preferred advertising medium of 19 of the principal trade groups in the United States, Newspapers, for example, got 82 Per cent of the automobile advertise- Both Aimee and David probably will go to the laundry and come out fresh and ready for new assaults on the heights of wedded bliss, Let’s Be Devilish One of the significant things about the allotment system is that the gov- ernment obviously doesn’t expect the American farmer to do as much work as he is used to doing. Restrictions are placed upon the use of land taken out of wheat pro- duction because, it is explained, other provisions will be made for the corn, hog, livestock and dairy industry and development of these crops on acreage formerly given over to wheat would only complicate the situation. It will be a real problem when we get to it and one of vast importance, for the use or misuse of the leisure now in prospect will determine the fundamentals of future society. If the extra time is devoted to self- improvement it will be of vast bene- fit to the race and we shall have in America the most advanced and highly cultured people in the world. If, on the other hand, the old adage about the devil finding things for idle hands is permitted to hold true, we shall have more complications than we now dream of. Nevertheless, all of us will welcome the situation which presents such a problem. Most of us yearn for self- improvement—or think we do—and not a few would relish the opportun- ity for a little deviishness after keep- ing the nose to the grindstone in an effort to earn a bare living. —_——_—___ A Ridiculous ‘Red’ Scare A student at the University of Wis- consin told a legislative investigating committee the other day that he had been hired by the secret service to supply federal investigators with in- formation about the activities of Communists at the university; and one is forced to wonder just what humorless.sub-official it was who de- cided that such a course was neces- sary. No one with any common sense thinks that anything important in the way of red activities is taking place at any state university. It was another Wisconsin student who ex- plained how the stories about Com- munism at the university got to ments, 74 per cent of the gasoline ads, 92 per cent of the railroads’ ads and 87 per cent of the shoe and clothing advertisements. The figures are a remarkable trib- ute to the “pulling power” of the newspaper advertisement. One Little Law When an airplane landed at the St. Louis airport the other day the man- ager of the field looked it over and “grounded” it. That is he issued an order that it was not to be flown again until certain repairs had been made. Wednesday this plane crashed in a St. Louis suburb, carrying to death & 21-year-old boy and his uniden- tified companion. The youth had defied the law by taking the machine into the air and he paid with his life for, the offense. There is some sort of a moral in this which all of us might take to heart. Perhaps, it is the idea that the violation of laws which are grounded in justice and common- sense are certain of punishment, al- though it is hardly ever as swift or Severe as was the fact in this case.

A Memory of Mr. Coolidge (Duluth Heraldy During the summer of 1928 the late Calvin Coolidge, then president of the United States, honored Wisconsin. and the Lake Superior region by choosing the Brule river for his sum- mer vacation site. But vacation to the serious mind of Mr. Coolidge meant little more than a change of scene, and each day during the months he spent at the Brule he traveled about twenty miles to his temporary office in Su- Perior to carry on the heavy duties and responsibilities of his place. People along that road often speak about @ wave of the hand or a kindly smile from the pale man_ they glimpsed as he journeyed back and forth that summer. + Last Tuesday, the Fourth of July and his birthday, by the way, Supe- Addresg Dr. William Brady, in care of this newspaper. SO YOURE JUST WORKING ON YOUR NERVE, EH? Shakespeare came nearer to the truth about neurasthenia than Dr. Beard himself or Freud and his fol- lowers, when the poet said that con- science makes cowards of us all. So} you are nervous, are you? Well, what are you afraid of? It is a common expression to say that a person has just been working on his nerve, or keeping up on his nerve, and consequently his collapse or complete breakdown is natural. But that doesn’t mean a thing ac- tually. A person can no more work on his nerve or keep up on his nerve than he can do so on his bone or his muscle or his lung. If he happens to attempt any feat of endurance his nerve is subjected to no more strain than is his heart or his liver. He is no more to be admired or excused for working on his nerve than he is for working on his muscle. Remember, please, that I am speak- ing in scientific terms and not in street parlance. gressive organic disease (arterioscle- rosis) producing effects which the Public and too often the physician, would ascribe to “nervous strain.” QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Modern Surgery Feel I would not be doing my duty if I did not tell you of the highly sat- istactory result from removal of hemorrhoids by the injection method which you recommended. Not only hemorrhoids but other associated dis- turbances were completely cured by this treatment without one bit of in- prenmence to me... (Mrs. G. K. Answer—Thank you. The injection treatment, which does not incapacitate the patient from ordinary occupation, is proving uniformly successful, but we regular doctors are nothing if not backward about having truck with these newfangled methods, and it will be a long time yet before the Medical profession at large is pre- Pared to deal with such conditions in Recently a prominent banker un- der indictment fled from a hospital or sanitarium where he was confined, and attempted suicide. According to: & newspaper report, one of the phy- sicians who had attended the man announced that the patient had been seriously ill for several years with a kidney lesion and disease of the blood vessels. The blood vessel disease had involved the brain structure and brought about impairment of memory, judgment and ability to transact bus- iness. , The arteriosclerosis later de- veloped a severe coronary thrombosis —these medical terms need not de- tain us—everybody knows arterios- clerosis means hardening of the ar- teries, and a few of the older boys know that coronary thrombosis means clotting of blood in one of the main arteries that carry blood to the heart muscle itselfi—which had culminated in an attack of angina pectoris a few months before the banker’s indict- ment. All that is straight and above- board. But the doctor who issued the statement to the press managed to inject a bit of characteristic hokum into it, for what purpose we may con- Jecture. Where he explained that the arteriosclerosis had involved the brain structure and brought about impair- ment of memory and judgment, the doctor interjected his trick phrase, to wit, “coupled with his great business anxiety.” He might as well have said, “O,jury, please let us down easy.” I know nothing of the case other than the news told. From this view- Point it seems that the humorous phrase injected by the doctor is an effort to gain the sympathy of the neurotic world. It is quite characteristic of general arteriosclerosis that, as the patient’s memory and judgment become im- paired, his obstinacy and his refusal to defer to the better judgment or ad- vice of physicians or other persons become accentuated. Unfortunately there is no test which will determine definitely when these brain functions are sufficiently impaired to make the man incompetent to handle his own or another's business or estate. The Jaw prefers to wait until he has com- mitted some serious breach. Here is a typical instance of pro- HE WAS ONE OF THE FEW MEN WHO HAVE BEEN 70.80TH POLES.

Min LOU had poured it all Copyright, ; 1930, out to her on her visit, so youthfully, so abundantly, that Delight had had plenty of time to hide her astonishment, to wait. She had thought, shrewdly, that her own positive knowledge and Lorrimer’s lack of it might possibly be a new and im- rtant card in the hand she held. ut when Lorrimer came back and recognized her there by the box- wood maze she had been about to tell Mary Lou the truth. His re- turn had silenced her. And then, with Mary Lou gone, with the sit- uation quite changed, she had held her peace. For if he did not re- member there was temptation in his lack of memory. It was some- thing a clever woman might take advantage of, afterall. But he had remembered. She discarded that card, therefore, as a good player should. It was useless to her now. “But I don’t understand,” Mrs. Lorrimer said helplessly. Dr. Mathews came in. Peter an- nounced him and went out, shut- ting the door silently, well aware that some drama was being played out, worried in his loyal heart about Mary Lou, wonde: where she had gone and why. He’d al- ready seen the cook and been re- galed with her backstairs dramatic recital of Mary Lou’s entrance through the kitchen and her exit “without a word spoken, and that ain’t like her, Mr. Peter!” Mathews, entering, looked from Margaret to Lorrimer. Margaret indicated the other woman. “Dr, Mathews—Miss Harford. is Delight Harford, Dan,” id, unnecessarily, for he had recognized her at once. | Whereabouts Unknown. The situation, as far as the ankle was concerned, was explained to the doctor. He gave certain or- ders, and Delight was helped up- stairs to a guest room, where the orders were carried out. ret went with her, and Lorrimer, wait- ne below stairs, went out and talked to Peter and later invaded the kitchen to see Mrs. Jarmen. They could only tell hjm that uu had gone, irs. Jar- men had seen her “fly” through the kitchen “as if the devil himself was after her, sir!” a suitcase in her hand, a hat “anyhow” on her head and a coat over her arm. He returned to the library.

I want to tell you why you couldn’t find me—what happened.” He tried to smile. “Of course,” he said, and added, “Delight.” But the name was to him now, ip had an alien sound, a suggestion of mockery. Luncheon, as far as Margaret Lorrimer were concerned, was @ farce. Mathews watched them, talked briskly of nothing much when Peter was in the room and later led the way to the library. Lorrimer shrugged. _ “There’s only one thing to do,” he answered. “If Delight will have me, I'm at her service, of course.” “Oh, Travers, no!” his mother said, in a little sob. He turned to her, and put his hand over hers. “T can’t help it, mother,” he told her. “I suppose it’s what Doc Dan here would call my old obsession.” He smiled wryly. “I loved her; I asked her to. mai me; I went through 10 years of my life with the fixed idea that she had.
