Sign of a New Order Not the least significant thing in the conviction at Chicago of three) members of the “Terrible Touhy”! gang was the breakdown of gangland | tradition which permitted their con-; viction, One of the notable things about} gangs in the past has been their ob- vious cohesion. The principle of “all| for one and one for all” may not) have ruled their dealings with each other but it has been pretty gener-| ally applied in the past to their re- lations with the law. The reasons for this were clear enough. When the gangs were at the peak of their power they exer- cised the determination of life or death for their members. Any de- fection was sure to result in swift and terrible punishment, There was) no squealing. i But in the last Touhy trial this; system broke down completely. A ‘Tennessee mountaineer, recently re-| cruited by the gang, recognized the} fact that he could save himself a lot of trouble by telling the truth. ‘The same thought must have been! in the mind of the former policeman who had turned gangster, At any rate, they provided the finishing touches to the state’s case and must) be credited with playing a large part in the jury's decision of guilty. That they took the wise course is indicated by the manner in which ‘Touhy and his two co-defendants ac- cepted the verdict. The Associated Press enlightens us on this point as follows: “Gone was the bravado of the so- called ‘Terrible Touhys’ as the ver- dict was read. “Touhy choked and clamped his handkerchief to his mouth. “albert Kator and Gus Schaefer paled, but accepted their fate in a calmer manner. “The curly-haired Touhy was as- sisted to his feet and the procession) started back to their cells. “At the county jail reporters closed in on the trio, but they refused to say anything. “Touhy threw himself down on his cot and groaned. Kator and Schaefer snarled feebly at reporters. “Later, the three seemed to accept their fate. “‘They might as well have made it 100, as 99 years,’ satd Kator, in a better humor.” They might have, at that. But 99 years is a long time, even in the best of prisons. They will not be eligible to parole. until they have served 33 years. A few years, more or less, ‘wouldn’t seem to make much differ- ence. Thus one of America’s worst gangs 4s broken up and its members headed toward prison. The men who once successfully defied Capone's control of our second city’s gangland have gone the way of gangster flesh, even as Capone himself has gone. No friend of justice is sorry. The Final Victory William Ferguson's entertaining series of drawings, “This Curious World,” makes an interesting point about George Washington's military career, pointing out that while Wash- ington was in command of the Amer- fean revolutionary army he lost con- siderably more battles than he won. He was routed badly on Long Island, he was chased north from Manhattan, he was pursued all across New Jersey, he failed to stop the British before Philadelphia, and he failed to cut them off when they moved back to New York. Truly, if the mere number of vic- tories were any criterion, Washing- ton was a very poor general. , Yet he occupies high rank as a military man; and his career re- minds one of what often is said of the British army in other wars—that it has a habit of losing every battle except the last one. ‘That was what Washington did. ‘Be lost fizht after fight, but he never gave up, and he won the last one— which counted more than all the others put together. People who are inclined to get dis- couraged and to feel that their] bloc struggles are in vain might do well to think of Washington’s travaiJs and final victory. ‘Those who are riding, high, wide and handsome would do well to con- sider the same possibility. In the struggle of virtue and right- ness, the war may be long but the result is inevitable. When Radicals Meet One thing that the ordinary citizen finds it almost impossible to under- stand is the venomous bitterness which the different radical sects hold toward one another. The row between Socialists and Communists at an Austrian protest meeting in New York the other night is a case in point. To most of us, probably, the dif- ference between a Socialist and a Communist is not very great; cer- tainly it cannot be a tenth as great as the difference between either party and an out-and-out capitalist. But neither Socialist nor Commu- nist ever assails the capitalist with half of the sustained fury that he looses on his comrade-in-radicalism. A Socialist-Communist row is the most savage of all political scraps. And it’s all very hard to compre- hend. One would think the two fac- tions at least could present a united front against the established order. But they can’t. They never fight so well as when they are fighting each other. Proof of Greatness It is a graceful and public-spirited thing that those famous physicians, | ‘Minnesota's Mayo brothers, have done in giving an additional $500,000 for medical research to the University of | Minnesota. | Their explanation is that, since the money originally came from the sick, “we believe that it ought to return to the sick in the form of advanced) medical education.” | This country seldom has produced any more truly useful citizens than these Mayo brothers. And, inciden- tally, by their generosity to the cause of medical science, they seem to have demonstrated pretty clearly that a desire for riches is not the only mo- tive that can cause a talented man to! give his best efforts to his job. eousness against vice and crooked-| BUSINESS BAROMETER Congress observed ‘Washington's | birthday by @ reading in each house} of the great patriot’s farewell ad-| dress to the nation.

An Experiment in Government Enterprise | (Chicago Tribune) if A few facts gleaned from our files regarding government barge line oper- ation on our inland waterways make interesting reading when pieced to-| gether. Turning to the issue of July 6, 1918, we find a press notice to the effect that the government would pro- | ceed to establish barge service on the lower Mississippi and Warrior rivers “to relieve the railways of much of the | heavy movement of bulk commodities that is clogging their wheels and de- | yin: transportation of war mater- Commencing with two barge loads of | Grain that moved south from St. Louis | on Sept. 28, 1918, a weekly service was inaugurated to New Orleans. A little later we find a statement from the di- rector general of railways that the first five round trips had produced reve- nues of $48,500 at 8 cost of $52,000. The next items of interest consist of a series of controversies involving the disposition of the government barge line after the armistice removed the necessity for lightening the rail- way burden. From this emerged the Suggestion by the director of railways | that a “thoroughgoing experiment should be made with this equipment to prove or disprove economic justifi- cation.” Finally there appears a state- ment of Maj. Gen. T. Q. Ashburn that during the year 1934 the Federal Barge line probably will commence opera- | tions on the Missouri river and that) the corporation is now the greatest | common carrier on interior rivers and | canals in the world. It is no longer | dubbed an experiment. ;..48 @ wartime emergency measure this service was a failure. As an ex- periment it has taught us nothing of any value. We could have surmised that any kind of carrier operating free of overhead and tax obligatioins would be able to meet its pay roll without the expenditure of twenty-three mil- lion dollars to secure this information. We were willing to concede to the advocates of government operation their emergency service and raised no Particular objection to an experiment on a limited scale, although able to see neither the necessity nor the logic, but it is certainly time to call a halt to this assumption of common carrier status. Continuance is not only unfair to com- peting forms of transport that must meet capital expenditures and taxes but actually is proving a hindrance to the very development it is supposed to foster. that the restora- tion of river service will be profitable and desirable, no private group is go- @ government enterprise sprawled all over the rivers, occupying the most desirable waterfront sites and willing to resort to all the tricks of the trade to attract business and make a favor- able showing. The experiment was to be sold as soon as it had demonstrated its use- fulness. Offers for the lower Mississ- ippi service have been declined be- cause the. war department has ruled that the properties must be sold en The highly unprofitable upper ‘Mississippi and Warrior services must go with the lower. To add Missouri river navigation to this condition will have the effect of taking the barge line off the market to all practical purposes. ing to risk capital to compete with| PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M.

ON YOU BEFORE YOU KNOW IT) When I recall the shock I suffered when my, as I fondly thought, inci- Pient bald spot was picked out of a) large audience as a shining example; of a bald head, I can sympathize with the girls who discover all of a sudden. that they have grown fat. But their sorrow is tempered with hope. Bald- ness is comparatively a sufficient) cause for despair. The mistake thousands of girls” make when they perceive alas that horrid superfluous flesh, is that they decide to reduce immediately, the quicker the better, they think, and plenty of merchants are glad to cater to that vain, unreasonable hope. The fat did not come suddenly; it cannot be made to leave suddenly, without grave risk to health, to say nothing of good looks. Too rapid reduction is certain to leave more or less unsightly flabbi- ness if not actual wrinkles. Whereas reduction that is as gradual as was the accumulation of the excess weight {may be achieved without injury to! health or appearance, indeed with benefit to both. Besides, rarely has any individual the grim determina- tion necessary to stick to a severe reduction regimen more than a day or two. But most overweight adults can follow a sane, moderate reduc- tion scheduled for as many weeks or months as may be advisable. By a sane, moderate reduction regimen I mean reducing at the rate of not more than two or three pounds a week or better say six to eight pounds in a month. As a matter of fact a person seldom accumulates excess weight as fast as that. Before you “go on a diet” you should study some practical arithme- tic, learn to count calories at a glance, much as a cafeteria cashier esti- mates the damage when you exhibit your trayful. Such a familiarity with calories is especially helpful in respect. to the chief items of the diet, the everyday victuals which are mainly responsible for the dirty work. The stereotyped tables showing how many they have put on many pounds of; ! calories in the pound of this and that are too formidable for others than. experts. A more practical under- standing of the nutritive value of the common staples is gained by learning how many calories in ordinary help- ings. Con the following items carefully and you will be prepared to keep fairly close tabs on your calories in any ordinary circumstances. Butter 1% inches square and ‘ths inch thick weighs one-half ounce and yields 115 calories A ball of butter, as served in many eating places, yields about 80 calories. Sugar Each ounce of cane, beet or other sugar yields 110 calories. A teaspoonful of sugar represents Candy may be estimated as equiv- alent: to sugar, ounce for ounce, or piece for plece. Bread, white, brown or whole wheat, is usually worth 70 calor- ies for a slice. Toast ditto. Cake or cookles may be credited PRODUCT OF MODERN Dory fish have telescopic mouths to help them catch their prey. | | Come rRom? | WHALING? with caloric value equivalent to that of sugar, weight for weight. An egg, an apple, an orange, each yields 75 calories. A gilassful of milk (8 ounces) yields . . 160 calories. (As a pound of milk yields 325 calories, each ounce represents approxi- mately 20 calories). | A banana or a potato represents | 100 calories. | These are only approximate figures, just to give a general idea.

SYNOPSIS Stanley Paige, beautifal, young eociety girl, is left penniless when her lawyer speculates with her money and loses. Stanley, however, cares little for the money, feeling that she has everything in the love of fascinating Drew Armitage. But when Drew breaks their engage- ment saying it would be impossible’ te marry en his inceme, she is heartbreken. Rather than accept aid from her wealthy friends, Stan- ley rents a cheap farnished room and disappears from her exclusive circle te try and make her own way. Her friends agree that a bet- ter way weuld have been te marry handseme Perry Deverest, but} Stanley cannet ferget Drew. One| day, she meets John Ha Northrup, struggling young ai rr. A streng friendship ensues and they become very necessary te one another. John Harmon is in love with Stanley but refrains from tell- ing her because of Drew. Stanley’ meets Marcia Wingate, one of her old set. Marcia tells Stanley she will arrange a dinner party and get in touch with her, but Stanley dees net believe that Marcia will call her. CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX Stanley’s thoughts left Marcia and swung around to Perry. Her' eyes grew softer, her mouth more gentle. It would be good to see Perry again, to sit opposite him at a tea table, to have him smile at her out of half-closed caressing, blue eyes. It would be good to dance with him| again, to feel his arms about her, move with him across a floor. And suddenly there in the surge and rush of Madison Avenue, with the noises of the street press- ing about her, with dusk settling over the city and softly subduing ‘the high, sharp outlines of the sky- scrapers, with only a narrow rib- bon sky above her head and a nar- row place to walk beneath her feet, suddenly she knew a great and. overwhelming desire to feel again the caress of soft silk against her| firm young flesh, to hear again the throb of violins, the tinkle of ice against thin glass, the blurred sound of feet moving over a pol- ished floor. To smell again the fra- grance of hothouse roses, the elu- sive scent of expensive and subtle perfumes. To know the exhilaration of being young and beautiful and desirable against a background of careless youth and sedi wusic.

He’s in town again, for a week or two.” “I thought perhaps that was the reason. Still interested in the un- attainable Drew?” “I've never been able to catch the trick of his profile. It’s his profile that’s so wonderful, you know, Nigel. He's no better than lots ‘of handsome men—caught at any other angle.” “I don’t know whether you're serious or not,” observed Nigel in his light impersonal voice, “but! anyhow it’s an answer. Where are we going?” “Oh, I don’t care—down te your place, if you want to.” “By all means.

It touched with tranquil fingers the high, aristocratic fronts of the apartment houses, gave them less of arrogance, more of beauty. Stanley was clinging to a subway strap. On the bottom step of Mrs. Foley’s boarding-house John Har- mon was waiting, as usual, his hands in his pockets, his eyes on the corner. He saw her when she was still a block away.
