JN Memphis, Tenn., is a federal judge who, if he followed his own case the sort of justice favors for would now be sitting in a stone cel! examining his soul. For he has been found guilty of contempt, of court Guilty of contempt of his own court. And in this judge’s mind there is no guilt comparable’ with the guilt of contempt. % : Ue sent Jake Cohen, labor editor, to jail for six months, Cohen had denounced strike breakers, in connection with Harry Daugherty’s celebrated railroad injunction. He sent G. V. Sanders, editor of the Memphis Press, to jail for criticising the court’s action in the Cohen case, He sent strikers to jail for urging their friends not to take the place of strike breakers, — He sent a restaurant man to jail for putting up a sign, “No Seabs Served Here All on charges of contempt In a recent case a reputable Memphis citizen serving on a jury found himself in disagreement with the 11 other members. He held out for acquittal. The judge rebuked him in open court, discharged him from the jury, humiliated him before the public. Now the court of appeals has reversed a subsequent conviction in this case, recognizing that the conduct of he 1, in othe the judge had been prejudicial to the defendant. In other words, the judge by his behavior had obst ucted the course of justice. That is contempt of court. That is all there is to contempt of court. And this judge, J. W. Ross, surely is in contempt of his own court Should he not send himself to jail? New York woman paid $100,000 for a pearl necklace, but she can save by wearing old shoes. No one will notice her shoes now Gifts and Taxes F you give, say, $100 to a community chest or some if other organized charity, the law permits you to fig- ure this as a deduction in making out national income tax return. i : But if you give $100 to a poor widow with a big family or to some other individual—it cannot be deducted. This asinine state of affairs reflects the tendency of large organizations to perpetuate each other, Another purpose may be to prevent gifts to relatrves from being entered as charity.

But to the ultimate consumer it means that ther just three and a half billion dollars more, on which in- terest or dividends must be paid by increasing the average eest of living. We're already paying tribute to an enor- mous lot of securities—100 billion dollars is a very con- servative estimate. New Capital MeAdoo says there *is nothing wrong with our dollar bill, I«n't it a trifle short-winded? No, Not the Derby! ae derby hat is coming back into style, according to Tyler, the fashion expert. We doubt it. People are not as docile about being dressed uncomfortable as years ago. The “iron hat” has joined the tall starched collar and tight:shoe. The demand for comfortable garments often strikes us as sure proof that average intelligence is getting higher. Great consolation at times. “Mexicans are fighting Americans over oil rights. Now you know why some are called “greasers.” Girl Wives NEWS picture shows child-mothers in Japan, so young that they play ring-around-the-rosy with their babies bound to their backs. Eight-year-old mothers are not uncommon in the Orient, where people mature at an earlier age than in the cooler climates. Time is relative, morality depends on climate, and na- ture is concerned primarily with the reproduction of the species. These three thoughts, from a rather ordinary news picture, poorly printed. 3 Congress learns much from investigation, but little from experience. Color Hearing UNDBORG, the Swedish physictan, is specializing on 4 “color hearing.” That’s one form of what is known as confusion of the senses. The victim of “color hear- ing” sees certain colors when he hears certain sounds, Thruout life the same colors are called up by the same sounds. Stranger than this are alleged authenticated but rare cases where the sense of sight is transferred to the fin- gertips. That’s getting into «uncertain territory, the psychic, so let’s pass on. “Keep the pulpit out of politics!” shouts an editor. Where, then, will the go=pelman look for sinners to save? Milo the Great ILO, famous strong man of ancient times, developed his strength by a simple system. He got a young bull and carried it in his arms around a race course every day. Each day the bull grew larger, Strength increased. When the bull still could carry it in his arms. one blow of his fist. Strength developed, Milo became a famous character. _ Six times he was victorious over all comers, at wrest- ling, during the Olympic games, which were held every One of Mi ia. e of Milo’s pet tricks was tying a heavy cori his head, across his forehead.

Milo was so over-confi- dent of his strength that he thrust his fingers in the crack and tried to pull the oxk asunder. The wedges slipped out. he split closed. Milo was held by his fingers, trapped- Then came a pack of wolves. From his death we learn the dangers of over-confidence, the perils of lack of caution. From his experience with the bull we learn that our powers increase as we face obstacles unfalteringly. ‘The slogan scems to have been: “Now, oil together!” And each day Milo’s was full grown, Milo Then he killed it with Pit RATTI e Whip AT slame 4 S ‘Step Lively, Please!” | | | | In what way guns used in modern insuranc ny of the guns were many of the civil war like the en P. i war were smooth- ou ken sbout t © agents battlefield tt f es unknown.
