Such a progressive as he is needed on the bench at Olympia This Heiress Business [EMBER Miss Louise Billet, the Detroit washer R woman who fell heir, a year ago, to $100,000? Well, Louise wants to tell the world that all gold doesn’t glitter and that this heiress business is the fishworm’s hind legs The very first thing that confronted the affluent Louise was a bevy of lawsuits, inaugurated by other heirs, that cost her $17,000. Quickly followed then a mad army of tenants from the apartment houses, and such like, that she had inherited. They demanded everything under the sun, from marble bathing pools to gold-plated elevators. - And her mail—oh, oh! It came each day in bulging bags, and every letter was a proposal of marriage, an offer of ground-floor oil stock, a chance to invest in a gold mine on Wrangell island, or proffer of the patent rights in Zululand for a double-action, reversible collar button. Louise at first wilted under the onslaught of thoee who were anxious to help her spend her money, but she braced up and all went well until the climax came. She bought a permanent wave—bought two permanent waves, to be exact. Neither proved to be anything tangible and the money she invested in them is gone. She experienced the impact of a heavy blow. Now she is sore and perfectly dis- gusted with the whole heiress business and yearns for the old washtub over which she bent “so happy.and so poor.” Money isn’t everything. It brings burdens, sorrows and distraction of mind. It may line the pockets, and feed: the face, and clothe the body, and keep the feet warm, but where is the joy of its possession if it proves futile in its quest of a permanent wave? Louise sad) waits an answer, if any. particu Too Much Harmony NOTED screen star parts with her husband because she feels that there is no “pep” in a wedded life in which husband and wife grow to be alike, thinking alike and having the same interests and friends. The lady is evidently a lady of poise. The usual way of putting “pep” into movie life is'to vamp some other lady’s husband, or use a pistol, or a hammer. Maybe, the simple shelving of hubby is the better way to break up marital harmony. Smashing the“Third Degree” pas a case just decided by the supreme court of the United States has escaped the attention of the operators of the police torture system known as “the third degree.” If it has so escaped, officers will do well to inform themselves now and before it is too late. The court has plainly and bluntly decided that torture has no place in American legal procedure and that confessions thus com- pelled and extorted may not be admitted as evidence against the accused. The case in point was that of Ziang Sung Wan, once a Columbia college student, who was arrested on a murder charge. For 11 days he was subjected to “the third degree” by the police, during which time a confession was wrung from him. Justice Brandies called attention to the severity of the torture of the Chinaman by noting that “the superintendent of police returned to his home ex- hausted and one of the detectives had fallen asleep, but to Wan not a moment of sleep was allowed.” The court reversed the case against Wan, as it should have done. Thereby it met accurately, not only the law, but the opinions of all fair-minded men. The “third de- gree” is torture of the most cruel nature. In addition, it is direct and wanton violation of all the safeguards of the law that are vouchsafed an accused person. Its whole purpose is to try and convict its helpless victim, not by fair- ness, due process or in legal order or form, but by visiting upon him in secret the most flagrant and brutal mistreat- ment, and all this in advance of the court of justice duly authorized to conduct his trial. It is well the high court has spoken. The abominable “third degree” is one shocking way of flaunting justice that should ceas The Salvation Army HE 40,000 Americans who wear the Salvation Army uniform made 100,000 coriverts in 1923.

By these methods teeth can be replaced without that conspicuous display of gold so common a few years ago. Those painful operations which used to be dentistry’s partner, are now eliminated in a practical way so tl at we extract teeth and do all other operations without pain.
