SUNDAY Dakland Tribune JUNE 21, 1931 SHOW CLOSES WITH, CAPONE'S PLEA City Enjoyed Entertainment And Drinks But Uncle Sam Drew Curtain By OLIVER SHERWOOD CHICAGO, June on June 30, Alphonse Capone receives a prison sentence for violation of federal laws, stepping definitely out of Chicago's picture, this city will take stock of the legacy left by its super-gangster. in his own appraisal, regards his contribution to modern civilization to be a highly' efficient system of quenching the thirst of multitudes, with intoxicants of good quality, under a prohibition regime. He prides himself on the regularity of service, uniformity of prices, and responsibility of organization which his outfit maintained. George E. Q.

Johnson, federal district attorney, who engineered the campaign leading to Capone's downfall, thinks gang chief's principal has been graphic illustration of the way crime can become organized and flourish under the stimulus of special privilege and protection. PUT ON GOOD SHOW The public, to all evidence, has appreciatedrta Capone particularly value. He provided the reality of AN open atmosphere, kept speakeasies in operation, ran road houses of quality, offering anything sought, and kept people excited by bloody forays against enemies. But business interests were angered by his large contribution to the city's reputation as crime capital of the world. Police are inclined to point out that Capone showed how to operate an underworld police department, without endangering too frequently the lives of -innocent citizens.

His method of quick justice, by which enemies found themselves ambushed and traitors ended in the ditch after a one-way ride, was considered a model of effectiveness. The Capone army was one of Al's pet prides. He claimed never to have been responsible for the death of an outsider in his long battle folia local monopoly, but his claim is not borne out by the records which show that a street car motorman was slain when gunmen first sought unsuccessfully to kill Jack Zuta. In' seeking to make an established, recognized and fairly ACcepted business out of booze, vice and gambling, Capone stressed one principle. WANTED "GOOD WILL "We want no trouble," he continually told his satellites.

With that policy in mind, Al and the Capone agents sought to take care' of politicians and policemen In way would bring valuable good will. He explained frequentTy to the public that all he wanted to do was to satisfy their demand for entertainment, drinking and otherwise. He pointed. out that the best families used his products. But competition caused trouble and while citizens were not frequently affected directly by the slaughter that grew from the Capone determination to have the Chicago all himself, they flinched from the unfavorable publicity that resulted.

Mayor Anton J. Cermak gave volce to something of the Chicago feeling, when he sald: never mention this man's name. Everybody is calling up from England, France and South America to get me to talk about the gangster. I told them 'all never heard about him. If everyone would refuse to mention his name, Chicago would be better off." This ostrich policy was tried by Chicago for years, Capone functioned.

BEASLEY new southerner is to be found in the white northerner come south to settle and to live." But Horace Bond is neither discouraged nor bitter, he loves his south, and he concludes his article with this hopphese note: white southerners people, but these what black is more, they are intensely And, so long as the Negro southerner can still laugh and see visions he will get along.

But if a need be enunciated that prime necessity for all of us who are southerners, whife and black alike, in my opinion it must lie in the appearance of more genuine southern white gentlemen. Some there are of course, and there have been in the darkest days. The Interracial movement of later years has found the type here and there in increasing numbers These men come to their human relationships with sufficient gentility and ASsured statue as not to be ashamed to be decent where Negroes are concerned."

He said they will carry the fight to the highest courts if necessary, but expressed the belief that a long fight will not be necessary. Observance of the new law would cause violation of the food fish destruction law, according Cardinalli, who is spokesman for commercial fishermen. He explained that the nets used to catch bass are of the same size as those used to catch shad.

It shad fishing is continued, he declared, numerous bass will be caught. The only "legal" thing to do then, he said, would be to dump the dead bass. But this, he isisted, is Illegal under the food fish destruction statute. He said that the conflict can be cleared up only by having the new law declared invalid. TEACHERS NAMED TRACY, June 20.

HEALTH and DIET ADVICE By Dr. Frank MC Coy AUTHOR OF THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH' SIGNALS HE desire to live is the most deeply-rooted of all instincts and 1s so universally found, among all of the animal kingdom that it has aptly been termed the law of -preservation.

Man will dodge an automobile; will run out of a burning building; will cling to a life preserver when shipwrecked; and will take along a parachute when travelling in an aeroplane. In fact, he is constanton the alert to protect himself, against, avoids bodily those Injury. things which might result in immediate death, but is apt to be careless of those things which do not produce an immediately disastrous effect. You, yourself, for instance, will avoid drinking a strong poison because you know that it is immediately dangerous. And you ever stop to consider thald the food which you are eating day by day may result in a slow poisoning and that you may, as the old German said, eventually eat yourself to death? You have past probably selected your food because it filled you with a comfortable feeling.

If the pleasures of the table were the only rules to consider, this way of selecting food would be as good as any, but since the taste of the food has little or no connection with its wholesomeness, it is' as important for you to use as much caution in selecting food as you would in regulating any other acts of your life. My experience in examining and diagnosing thousands of cases. each year, over a period of many years, has convinced me that diet is a most potent factor disease. An acute disease "ravery attacks the body without being proceeded by symptoms and warnings long disorder which may be called by a special name. The best time to.

begin cure is when you first to feel those predisease symptoms. You can thereby prevent the danger and inconvenience of the actual sick spell. After most serious diseases, even though cured, the body remains battle scarred and injured in ways that no amount of aftercure can completely remedy. It 1s not wise to be constantly looking for trouble, but it would be folly for one not to pay attention when there is red light or warning gong of danger ahead. In your own body there are many danger signals, Just as actual As these, should serve to warn you of impending disaster.

Answer questions to yourself, and then you will be able judge whether or not you are being warned by nature: Is your complexion pimply? Do you have an over-abundance of stomach and intestinal gas? Are conscious distress in your abdomen? Do you feel tired in the morning? Are you subject to constipation? Do you worry, feel unhappy or scold? Are you sleepless? Is your circulation poor? Do you have headaches? These are only A few of the warning forerunners of disease: If you can answer yes to any of these questions, you should immediately begin to care for your health and avoid a more serious disease. Even if you are suffering from some of these symptoms, you should take courage from the knowledge that habits of health may be cultivated well as the destructive habits which lead to disease. The recognition of the proneness to a disorder may make it, possible, by study and application, to evolve an even greater degree of health than that possessed by symptoms and warnings long of health than that possessed before the actual condition of by the average person. sickness has been shaped Into (Copyright. 1931.

This study has taken him into the back country of this section which he claims as his own. His observations in the Harper's article are shrewd, and his viewpoint unique and refreshing he begins by stating: "In the south the white man is the southerner, the Negro--well a His analyzes as only the scientific sociologist can, the culture of the old south, the social order of the re-construction and points to evils of the present order by stating: "By far the most detestable crystallization of these uncharitable characteristics of the several members and officials of the chapter followed by the liftof a collection which would enable them to carry cheer to digabled war veterans in the several hospitals around the bay district.
