Funny But Serious ‘There are certain serio-comic as- pects to that effort by the Kentucky house of representatives to make & Louisville editor divulge the name of @ legislator who wrote him a public letter. ‘The comedy lies in the fact that such a body should attempt to force the disclosure as a matter of right and the evident seriousness with which it views its own actions. The seriousness lies in the obvious attempt to curb criticism and ham- per a free press, when one of the greatest needs of the day is honest criticism and constructive comment. That the Kentucky legislators never had a chance of finding out who among them was unfaithful to the code of the legislators’ union goes without saying. No editor worth his salt would violate a confidence, either in public or in private. There are cer- tain ethics in the newspaper profes- sion which are inviolable and this is one of them. That Loutsville editor could no more be expected to dis- close the writer of that letter than the most reputable physician could be expected to tell the details of an illness which he might be treating. In this case the breach would be particularly flagrant, for the Ken- ‘ttucky house would find it easy to chastise the erring brother if it could only establish his identity. Vance Armentrout, the editor in question, has not only refused to pay the $25 fine imposed upon him, but has sued the members of the com- mittee which prosecuted him for $50,000, charging false arrest. There- by he does a service to the public, If Public officials, acting either as in- dividuals or in bodies, can set up an effective censorship, the people have Jost an important right and the na- tion is on the way to rulership by an oligarchy of officialdom, rather than by the people themselves. Paying the Penalty Samuel Insull, fleeing through Europe as a fugitive from justice, now is paying the penalty for his crimes just as surely as though he hhad been formally convicted and ‘were behind prison bars, Gone are his dreams of grandeur ‘and the power which once he wield- ed. Gone are the fruits of a lifetime of tremendous effort and, in many respects, notable and worthwhile @chievement. All that Insull was or could hope to be went with him when, a broken and hunted man of 74, he fled from his apartment in Greece to an un- known destination. Samuel Insull is treading sunset’s trail, alone and hunted. The hand of every man is turned against him. Forces over which he has no control and which he cannot bribe are aligned in the effort to track him down, ‘The fact that he may never be cap- tured does not mean that he is not being adequately punished. There can be no easy chair for him when he cannot hear a strange footstep ‘without shivering at the thought of hand on his shoulder. Life, for Samuel Insull, has become an empty Shell, He retains his freedom only @t the sacrifice of freedom. And his conscience he has always with him, ‘weighting him down with the realiza- Fascism Presents Us With Another Laugh If you feel that something drastic ought to be done about saving the by carrier, per year.......$7.20 720 00 represents a lucky break for America.

Some months ago there was the, fiasco of the Khaki Shirts at Phila- delphia.

Once let an idea get a humorous as- sociation in the minds of the Ameri- can people and they never will take it seriously. If we are being introduced to Fas- cism in its most ludicrous guise, there is small chance that we ever shall commit the blunder of falling for it. Relief for Royalty One of the pleasant little oddities in the day’s news is the story from | Bucharest, capital of Rumania, tell- ing how a former Russian prince fi- nally has won “promotion” to a full- time job as cleaner of the city’s) streets, | This titled white wing, Prince Ser-} gei Vladimirovich, escaped from his} homeland when the revolution broke, | wandered into Rumania, and for a long time was right on his uppers. Finally he got a part-time job as street cleaner. ‘The other day he was at work near @ railway station when he heard a foreign tourist vainly trying to make & goliceman understand him. He in- tervened courteously, translated the tourist's remarks, and set the matter right. So now, as @ reward, he has @ full- time job as a street cleaner. ‘This gives rise to a number of sat- istying reflections, not least of which is the thought that here, if nowhere else on earth, is a prince who actu- ally is employed on a useful job.

They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribun policies, Not Forgetting Peanuts (New York Times) If the House concurs in » bill adopt- ed by the Senate, and the President approves, the number of “basic com- modities” covered by the AAA will be increased from seven to thirteen. The seven already on the list are wheat, cotton, corn, hogs, rice, tobacco and dairy products. Senator Connally of Texas offered a bill bringing cattle within the scope of the law. Senator Byrd of Virginia successfully sponsor- ed an amendment adding peanuts. Champions of rye, barley, flax and grain sorghum followed suit. Catch- ing the spirit of the occasion, Mr. Long of Louisiana served notice that he would offer an amendment adding “cucumbers, sassafras and several other allied products.” Classification as a “basic commodi- the case of wheat and cotton, this tax pro- Ject like the AAA should extend its authority in ever-widening circles.

THERE IS REAL MAGIC IN MODERN MEDICINE When Ehrlich introduced salvarsan, otherwise called “606”, the world was thrilled by the promise of cure, the medical world particularly. One dose of the new remedy was to achieve nothing less than “therapia magna Sterilsans,” that is, the absolute eradi- cation of the spirochetes or germs of syphilis from the blood. The labora- ‘tory scientists actually entertained such hopes. In practice, however, it did not cure, 80 a second dose was al- vised. Even that proved disappoint- ing. Then a course of treatment was tried out. The syphilis persisted. Eventually salvarsan was displaced by newer and better remedies. I men- tion this here as an instance of magic in medical SCIENCE. We've had plenty of that kind of magic for de- cades and we shall have plenty more in future. Magic in the ART of medicine is not so common. Alphadinitrophenol is a dye related to picric acid, (which is trinitrophe- nol). Dinitrophenol or its sodium salt is readily obtainable on the market, in pure form and is quite cheap. For years p. p. girls have been sigh- ing for a magic medicine which would reduce without the painful necessity of restricting one’s diet or taking ex- ercise. For years I have been praying no such medicine would ever be dis- covered. To my eye angles are al- ways fatiguing but curves are restful. Now I fear my prayers have been in vain. This new magic medicine, 20 laboriously mentioned above, has come to do for fat folks what insulin not get all in a lather pushing and shoving to be first to obtain full in- formation from me about this won- derful new reducing medicine. I warn you now that my stereotyped reply to all such requests will be “Consult your physicians.” The new medicine to re- duce without dieting or exercising, “lean be safely and effectively given soon became evident that one dose! you do burn—I'm telling you, for tried it on toe. og, tor bee meeea PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Honestly Is Folly ‘We are using a kerosene oil burner of the type described in the pamphlet inclosed. It has to heat about 4,300 feet of space. There is always a strong kerosene odor in the rooms. There is no flue connection. Is it likely to injure or health? (M. M. A.) Answer—The pamphlet describing the heater says “no flue connection is required.” Lying that nets the liar @ good profit is good business in this country. A kerosene or’ oil burner is Perhaps less likely to produce the deadly odorless, colorless carbon monoxide than is @ gas or coal burn- er, but for health and comfort it is always advisable to provide a stove Pipe to carry products of combustion out of the house when any fuel is burned. Cs Oil Please tell me how to make cam- Phorated oil. It is quite expensive to buy here. (Miss R. T.) i Answer—Crumble and crush to powder one ounce of gum camphor. Pour it into a four ounce bottle. Then fill the bottle with warm olive oil. The official name of camphorat- ed oil is Camphor Liniment. It is an excellent liniment for mildecounter- irritation. On long standing the camphor evaporates. Keep bottle tightly corked. When camphorated oil is applied to the chest, throat or over bridge of nose of a baby be care- ful not to saturate the baby’s cloth- ing, for a young infant could inhale ‘too much camphor if allowed to sleep with clothing so saturated.
