Jan. 18. (AP) The two-year inquiry of the federal trade commission into publicity activities of public utilities corporations ended today with counsel for the utilities Jn sharp disagreement with Commissioner McCulloch over admission of evidence designed to show the corporations efforts were defensive. The commission is to resume Its inquiry February 4.

but with its attention turned at that time to the financial setup of the utility success. In contrast to the presentation of the evidence against the utilities, which took more than a year, Bernard F. Weadock presented the defense in less than a week. He was blocked today when he offered exhibits which he said would show that much of the public utility publicity had been intended only to combat propaganda in favor of government ownership. Called "Unholy Alliance" Four organizations the National Popular Government league, the Peoples' Legislative Service, the Public Ownership League of America and the League for Industrial Democracy were named by Weadock as an "unholy alliance" which he said "operated.

Initiated and participated" in the campaign for public and municipal ownership. Every industry in the United States, he said, was under fire in the "whole scheme" to further the "abolishment of private property." Commissioner McCulloch ruled, however, that "the resolution of Senator Walsh. Democrat, Montana, under authority of which the lengthy investigation was held, directed an inquiry into the activities of the public utilities, and not efforts of others. The commissioner and the attorney exchanged sharp words after the former insisted that his ruling barring the exhibits from the record should be respected. Weadock contended they should be Win imA Mi rr ill iif c'f? Si' kum "The Tabloids" is one of the symbolical drawings of John Vas-os from his recent "Contempo" which has a text written by Ruth Vassos.

Of the tabloids, the author says, "A writhing, struggling stream of humanity is ground into tha rollers of the press. Its joys and sorrows, its crimes and passions, all are to be served in a dish to tickle the palate of the epicure." Out of Burmese history of the last half of the nineteenth century has come one of the most en -paging novels of many months. It has been said many times that all jrreat historical events have been guided by the hand of some woman, that every great king: h8s been Influenced by his consort or his paramour. Never is this influence of woman more clearly shown than in "The Lacquer Lady" by F. Tennyson Jesse.

Miss Jesse has carefully recorded histoj. after extensive research, but she has given historical everts just that breath of Ufe -which carries them from fact to fiction and makes them perhaps a little more fascinating: The Lacquer lady, part Burmese, part Italian, and part British her mother was a half-cast. Burmese and British, while her father was the Italian weaver at the king's court gives vent to the various contradictory impulses which spring: from her motley ancestry with surprising results. The old king who rules with ease and compassion for his subjects dies, midway the story, leaving a general mix-up as to who is to succeed him. It is the custom for the king, at his death, to name from his many sons by many wives the one who is to ascend the throne.

Through intrigue and plottings of one of the queens, the chosen son is not allowed to become king. Instead. Thibaw, a rather weak, not altogether bright boy. Is proclaimed king and from that moment on massacres and bloody killings splotch the history of the little-country until Fannie, the Lacquer lady, taks a. hand and betrays the French to the British who sweep into the country, overthrow the king, and take over the reigns of government.

Had Fannle's French lover been true to her, had he not gone home and returned with a French wife, the pags of history might have contained different material. Fannie, who in her youth was educated at a girl's school in Brighton. England, had taken on tt little. English culture, but, as the favorite of the only queen, during Thlbaw's swiftly regime, she gradually drops back Into Burmese ways, and finally discards her European clothing which had set her so much apart from the othr palace favorites to adopt the dre-ss of the country. Miss Jesse, while in no way excusing the conduct of the impetuous girl for she was little more than that when hr love affair upset the court paints a sympathetic picture of a.

woman of unbridled emotions. The story itself is as delicately traced as the most beautiful patterns in the Burmese silks which adorn the ladies of the. court. The characters have been finely chiseled, and then breathed upon to make them live and move before the reader's eye. The whole book is a gorgeous pa gent of rich reds and golds and blues.

One can almose hear the Irumptine of the sacred whltp elephants being V-d to the sacred feeding ground: and the wild, weird music which accompanies every waking hour of the distracted King Thibaw; the swish of the little river which carries the steamer down to British Burma, the agonized screams of the massacred ores. Endowed with a fine understanding of human beings and their relationships, and capable of doing a workmanlike pier- of research. Miss Jesse has sucopedfd in illuminating a far bit of little known history and has produced not only an historical novel of some worth, but a lively, interesting book of fiction which cannot help but charm ven the most discriminating reader.

from his hand and mortals tremble. Inventors scheme to devise new ways to use him. The telephone, the telegraph, the radio; dynamos run and cities are lighted; he is warp and woof of our daily lives. And in return, we put him to the crowning ignominy the electric chair." Advertising, skyscrapers, the subway, prohibition, the Jew, traffic, radio, the department store, psy-chologia, the market, commercialism, air conquest, the beach, sports, the movies, Washington, the tabloids, religion, suburbia, science, modern art, are his subjects which he takes up in quick succession. They are symbolic, but not of the futuristic school which the layman could not understand.

There is nothing- difficult of understanding in Vassos' art, nor in the comments of swift sure irony of Ruth Vassos. From the standpoint of art. perhaps the. most amazing at least it was to me is his representation of the subway. His works are all done in black and white and intermediate shades, of gray.

In "Subway" one sees the many track lanes, the several levels, the curving tracks sweeping toward the light, and all done merely by the tones of gray. One can almost hear the roar of the rush, the sweep of the cars. Ruth Vassos says of it: "ipeed under the earth. Boring deep through the bowels of the underground the trains rush on. A mighty force has been released and goes tearing through the darkness.

The mind of man has solved the problem. The trains shoot through, the rails shine, the lights glitter; beauty of motion, beauty of symmetry, beauty of mechanical devise. Man's conquest over matter. "A seething mass of flesh struggles to set through the automatic doors. There is only one train and they must get on it.

Rush for the door, push the next man away. 'strike if you must, but GET ON THE TRAIN. Hurry through the station, no time to be lost. A minute may be a fatal and incalculable result. Foul and fetid breaths, unwashed bodies; get as close as possible to the woman next was merely being starved for air, and many of these children in later life, because of their early efforts partially correct this condition.

You may starve for food for 40 days and still survive; you may-starve for water for four days and still survive, but you can rarely starve 10 minutes for air and survive. Therefore a child with adenoids should have them removed should he be only a few years old also adenoids may grow back especially if the tonsils are left. Tonsils taken out properly, however, never return. In early days tonsils were recog-nized as a menace and instruments were devised by which part of the tonsil tissue was sliced off, which gave a small measure of relief, but sooner or later the scar on the tonsil having sealed it up there would be a new flare up and sometimes worse than at first. Many methods have been tried to avoid taking out the tonsils, but it is the consensus that the only-proper way to relieve a child of the effects of diseased tonsils is to take the tonsils out thoroughly.

In the hands of a competent surgeon there is 'very little dansrer in the removal of the tonsils. The effect of leaving a bad tonsil in when adenoids are present, is not only to stunt the mental and physical growth of the child, but to imperil him with diseases that originate in the tonsils, such as acute articular rheumatism, better called rheumatic fever; middle ear infection and a bad heart, and oftimes the kidneys are infected, and the tonsil has been blamed for being the original holder of the organism which leads to appendix and gall bladder trouble. The large mastoid incidence in children usually begins as a tonsillar sore throat which drains its poison either back into the middle ear by direct method or indirectly-through the blood stream. For all of these reasons your child's tonsils should be carefully watched by a physician whose duty it is to inform you when the tonsil is so far diseased that it has ceasea to become a help and is a menace. Later I shall tell you about the effect of tonsils in adult life.

EAT AND GET WELL. LATEST Gastronomic therapeutics is the latest addition to medical science, according to reports made at the recent meeting of th Academy of Medicine in Paris.

An expansion program statewide in scope has been launched by the Arizona Title Guarantee and Trust company of Phoenix in which the Title Insurance Securities corporation becomes the holding company for the Arizona Trust company, with a capitalization of George A. Mintz, president, announced yesterday.

Refinancing of the concern through the formation of the holding company will enable the or-ganizatiolh to extend its activities to all parts of Arizona, it was stated. The expansion program ts being mapped out and carried through by C. E. Van Ness, formerly of Indiana, who is vice-president of the Arizona Trust organization and secretary-treasurer of the Title Securities corporation. "Through formation of the holding company," Van Ness explained, "The capital stock of the Arizona Trust company was increased from $100,000 to $750,000 The business expansion therefore becomes an immediate reality." Tiie Arizona Trust company is the oldest concern of its kind in Phoenix, having been organized 30 years ago by George Mintz.

ANOTHER HISTORICAL NOVEL APPEARS George Preedy, the author of "General Crack" that novel of last year which found so much favor, has written another historical novel. "The Prince's Darling" which is far more interesting reading than its predecessor. The story is laid in Saxony in the late 17th century. The prince's darling is Madelon, daughter of a dissipated house, wfrom the prince nearly marries, but who becomes his mistress instead, due to a trick of circumstance. The story is swiftly moving, and one nearly forgets that it is recording historical facts.

As usual, murder death, intrigue, love and its vicissitudes, play a large part in the events recorded. Among lovers of adventure the book will no doubt find a wide following.

RECENT OFFERINGS OF BOOK LEAGUE I am sorry that space has not permitted the mentioning of the December offering of the Book League before this.

It was "Joe Tete" by Florence E. McClinchey, the story of the Ojibway Indians who live on Sugar island. Miss McClinchey has done for these Indians what LaFargo has done for the Navajo in his "Laughing Boy." However, the writing of "Joe-Pete" Is not so fine as that in "Laughing Boy." Whether the subtle difference lies in the fact that one story was written by a man, and the other by a. woman, or whether there is merely a difference in the creative ability of the two, I cannot say. "Laughing Boy still remains supreme among Indian stories.

Let it not be thought, though, that "Joe Pete" is a trivial or unimportant story. It isn't. Miss McClinchey has contributed largely to the literature of the American Indian. She has brought to notice, in a fine way. another group of little known, and perhaps little understood Indians.

And through it there runs the same note of fineness, of trustworthiness, of kinship with thimrs great that LaFargo brings out in "Laughing Boy." He is a child of nature, and being so, he "walks in beauty." The November offering yf the Book League was Jacob Wasser-man's latest novel, "The Maurizius Case," a book far more difficult to read than any of his other novels. The first few pages seemed dull or perhaps so profound that I could not understand them and so I put it down. For January, th Book League has made a particularly happy' selection in "Daughters of Kve" by Gamaliel Bradford. Those who know him need nothing but his name to recommend his works. And "Daughters of Eve" is a particularly charming, and unusual presentation of seven of the world's greatest women, each in her particular field.

Representative Arentz. Republican of Nevada, said that legislation calling for a reorganization of the federal power commission requested by President Hoover would be introduced at once.

There is considerable sentiment in the house, Arentz said, for such a change. The present power commission is composed of secretaries of interior, war and agriculture.

Mr. Hoover favors a permanent commission and one that will not require service upon it of cabinet officers thereby interfering with their other duties. WOMEN DIET.

Accompanying the 22 drawings are comments by Ruth Vassos which are even more biting, more crushing, than the drawings. In the short foreword. Mr. Vassos explains his book a little, and gives the idea, back of it. what he has tried to do and what he has done admirably in his drawings.

He calls America a country of extremes; where "our expressions range from the sublfme to the ridiculous." Capable of buffoonery, which he calls healthy, he comments that our anthropologists and scientists enjoy Coney Island and hot-dogs. Too. he thinks us capable of more serious appreciation of in the abstract, else our buildings, skyscrapers and what not could not have been built. "I have tried to make this book a. purely illustrative and unbiased expression of certain phases and influences here that help make what I like to call this American Tempo.

A certain sharp staccato rhythm almost like a riveting machine, that exists nowhere else in the world. I do not hesitate to say that I have been affected by it. If I have also shown a certain touch of paganism, you must forgive me and remember that my ancestors, after all, were Hellenic. This restless vitality that is so evident here today is not to be resisted, because in it is the well-spring of creation." It. is hard to say which of the many subjects which Vassos has treated makes the greatest appeal.

"Electricity," the first of the group, is rather amazing, and Ruth Vassos" comment deftly defines this god. Electricity. She says, "One of the greater gods, all powerful and omnipresent, of tremendous elan. He touches simultaneously the north pole and the south. His strength is unmeasured, his power I untolrj.

his speed unmatched. His origin is mysHry. Freely he offers us his services and we try to chain him. "How gloriously he lights the sky, the air is rent and the heavens shake, at his power; fire bursts leading role and becomes impregnated with various organisms that live within its crypts or little, channels and give off small amounts, as it. were, much in the same measure as a physician injects a vaccine into the body.

Now against most of the diseases which the tonsil harbors in this early stage, only a certain amount of immunity can ever be given, and if the tonsil at any time should have more organisms or poisons within its body than it can properly care for, it throws large amounts of this septic material into the blood stream and becomes much the same as a clogged drain would be in a neighborhood; throws its filth over a large area and eausee trouble. Somewhere about the age of five j-ears, nature has been protecting about as much as possible by this evacuating process, so if a child of pre-school age is examined just before entering school the condition of the tonsil at the time is either one that will give little trouble, or one that is already causing a great deal of trouble for the child. For this reason many, and perhaps the majority of well informed practitioners do not advise the removal of the tonsil in children under five, unless they show definite signs of causing trouble in the joints; the heart; ears or keeping the child down generally, for it has been observed that when the tonsils are large and infected that the adenoidal tissue at the back of the nose is also large. There is a very small opening at the back of the nose through which the air enters the throat, -and it does not take very much of a growth of excess tissue, which an adenoid is. to stop it.

especially when the tonsils themselves are enlarged and push the palate upwards and still further shorten the opening. In this case the tonsil together with the ade noidal tissue may become a menace because, of size only and the child starves for air. The old ideas of the dunce of the class with the three cornered cap always were depicted by a child hanging his lower jaw down and with a pinched nose and hang dog expression." This was typically anadenoid face, and instead of be- a ounce tne poor if Tie, chap ROOSEVELT COUNCIL Mesa Court Of Honor A court of honor for the Mesa district was held at the Mesa Union high school auditorium Thursday evening.

MONKEYS EAT BY COLOR Monkeys can be taught to distinguish color, according to an announcement of the Berlin Physiological Institute, where experiments have been made. The tests were made with small Java monkeys, which come instantly when a yellow light is shown, but ignore all other colors.

TONSILS AND ADENOIDS No doubt you have heard many discussions on the subject of tonsils and adenoids, had some good and some bad information as to the advisability of having the ton- ils removed. While there are many idas about tonsils and their use, it is generally conceded that a child is born with healthy tonsils, and that the tonsil is the first strainer of disease germs as they enter the body either through food or through the nasal cavity by air or dust which is breathed. For this reason the tonsils are the organs first at tacked by diphtheria, scarlet fever, sore throat and many other of the prevalent diseases. It has also been observed that the incidence of diphtheria, scarlet fever and septic sore throat is much lessened in a group of children whose tonsils have been removed. While there is some controversy over the fact of the usefulness of tonsils after certain years.

It is fairly generally conceded that the tonsils in the small child which has not attained the age of five years is a protective gland, one which not only strains these organisms and withholds them from going directly into the general system, but one. which frees certain percentages of these organisms of their poisons, or toxins as they are called, into the system to establish Immunity in a child as far as pos- ible against diseases. When a child is born the mother through giving it nourishment has seemingly a protective influence, and certain immunities present in the mother's blood are carried through into the child for some months after birth and then lose their effectiveness. Now if a child did not have this early protective immunity, the infant death rate would be enormous during the first year. As it is, before the child loses this transmitted immunity he begins to make some of his own.

for he is coming in contact, with yarious organisms from the day of his birth. A Tn t. rro hnsll plays a TOTAL, LIABILITIES Capital Stock raid in Surplus Undivided Profits, Less Current Exp.
