I TS SAID TO BB a dharacter- Istlc of the gentler sex to mope over their physical ailments, and to discuss them whenever opportunity otters, hut we found one of the so-called lords of creation who told and retold his fancied affllotloos and we had to listen tor we were Tiding with him, as our only companion, in the smoking comparts ment of a pullman. This man professed to he afflicted with aome kind of an Internal Insurrection, that arose at times greatly to the discomfiture of his body and disturbance of his peace of mind. He showed ns the various diagnoses and prescriptions of a number of doctoM, which he had committed to writing, and preserved for study and contemplation and guidance. These opinions were discordant, and this perplexed him beyond measure, Ho had 6tudl thean until ho had no Idea what was the matter witli htm, and therefore he could not decide which of the directions he slioald follow and was seeking from us opinions as to what to do with his rebellious interior.

We were as sympathetic as possible and told him that be was alright everywhere except la his Imagination and advised if he would go to work he would forget all about it. He did not reduce this diagnosis nor our prescription to writing, and so we suppose he is perslstantly on his way to the hone yard pouring his tale of woe Into numerous ears as he goes. BVBRAIi times, yes, many times, we have written about asset a city or community can spirit. It without saying that we refer to unselfish public spirit that is active for the good of the city and community as a whole. What is best for all is hound to be best for each.

Public spirit is usually at high "tide in growing towns and cities when prosperty Is great, but when things slacken the ebb sets In. and many yield to a species of selfishness that acts on municipal patriotism Just as a pall of water thrown on a blazing fire. Many pails will put out the stoutest fire, and many fits of selfishness and periods of lethergy and neglect will put out the flame of public spirit. This, and all other towns, needs the active, diligent, unflaglng energy of highly developed public spirit at this time more than usual. EATED TEJRM, as we sometimes call the hot months of summer, appears to be a long time off, but it is Just around the corner, 80 to speak.

Now comes the blossoms and the aptndly'legged plants and then the first fruits of summer, but the hot sun does not wait for begins now and makes them. In fact the sunshine assisted by showers is the manufacturer that goes to work every spring on such material as he finds and the product is the most diversified of all factories, and we might say the most useful. If men take a hand and make ready with soft ground, seed and fertilizer the output is wonderful. If left alone the wonder workers vrlll put out Just as Industriously but muoli of it will not be useful from a menu standpoint.

Captain Ira Eaker. army test pilot, who was attempting to set a new west-east transcontinental air speed record, tonight announced he would abandon the attempt to better Frank Hawks' mark at this time. Captain Eaker decided to abandon the attempt when he learned the clutch of his super-charger was slipping and that It wbuld be necessary to dismantale the entire motor to make repairs. He said be would remain here over nlKht and would summon army air mechanics from Wright field, Dayton, to remove the motor from the red and blue plane and make the repairs.

He said his plans were indefinite but that he probably would BO to WaehiuKton as so onas his Plane is repaired. Eaker said his lorw winded red and blue monoplane functioned smoothly and averaged more than 200 miles an hour until the trouble developed near Newark. Ohio.

New Orleans, April 11 federal government struck a death blow today at a gigantic band of bootleggers and rum smugglers with the arrest of eight men and the seizure of a radio station here. Authorities said they had evidence the ring was supported by interests having millions of dollars and operated from the MisBlssippl gu'if coast, Canada and British Honduras.

Flushing of the band after weeks of investigation by a large corps of federal ageiKs has uncovered; in the opinion of prohibition officers, the largest existing Illicit liquor ring in the world. It represented, they said, a curious llasion between the underworld Canadian distillers and Mississippi officials and business men. Poised for several days, the agents sprang out today in New Orleans and simultaneously seized the powerful radio station in a dwelling in Gentilly, a suburb, and arrested the eight men on charges of conspiracy to violate the federal prohibition law. Other arrests were promised by Monday. Before the sweep is over.

District Attorney Edmund B. Talbot said the arrests may reach one hundred. District Attorney Talbot said the ring brought liquor from Vancouvc- distillers by boat to Belize, British Honduras, where it was reshlpped on steamers to the Gulf coast to be met outside the twelve mile limit by gers, which would slip around the Gulf coast and up the Pearl river. On Pearl river, he said, the ring had leased a pecan orchard and several lumber plants that were used as a base for the liquor The liquor then would be moved by motor truck to freight ears where It would be shipped out labelled "lumber" or "cross ties." "We can't very well prove It," said District Attorney Talbot, "but evidence convinces the Investigators that Al Capone furnished much ol the money for the Importation of rum through this syndicate for Chicago and New York consumption."
