FRANK McOOY 'Author of The Fasf Way to Health College President Swindled President A. Lawrence Lowell, of Harvard, is re ported as being among New England investors who gave 500,000 to swindlers. Dr. Lowell gave them $70,000, according to news dispatcher As a college man, one might guess he wai a bit more given to theory than to actual practice. Fie could not ice thc fraudulent character of some sharpers who sold shares in farm loan companies taking $100 a share and giving him worthless paper, The Darling of the Gods Two men flying in Col.

Lindbergh's plane crashed in a forest, in a fog, and were killed. The owner of the plane had trouble with it on several occasions but came safely to thc ground each time and his life was spared. Not all the danger of flying is over thc Atlantic. Quite at dangerous as dropping in thc Atlantic is to drop in ihc tops of trees, or on very rough terrain. Col.

Lindbergh's most daring feat was not flying across thc Atlantic, but it may have been anyone of a dozen other flights when he crossed mountain ranges or expansive forests. He's the darling of the gods, being safe where others lose' their lives. Chance to Compromise The state highway department has indicated its preference for a delay of the condemnation suit trial to fix thc value of lands needed for diverting thc course of Wood River just east of Alton where Route 160 is to cross that erratic stream. A local committee of thc Automobile club has been urging a compromise on the course of thc diversion channel for Wood river, arguing thc compromise channel can be secured much cheaper, that its effects on thc adjacent farm land will not be so destructive as thc channel proposed by thc engineers. Viewed from some points the engineers have the best channel, but from others the compromise channel course is thc better.

Added to any ordinary advantages thc compromise channel has is that intangible benefit of good feeling and perfect satisfaction of landowners who are affected, coupled with a less cost. It i.s to be hoped that the mediation of the local committee may be successful. Aimee's Tribulations Aimec Semple McPhcrson's foes seem to have a genius for picking an embarrassing time to stare something on her.

Both of these diseases seem to be caused by MI unbalanced diet. SCURVY i Scurvy caused by a lack of antiscorbutic vitamin ic. As this vitamin Is destroyed by heal, thc disease I is usually found in babies who are fed exclusively on and malted milk, sterilized and boiled milk. A few cases have been found where pasteurized milk was used, and more rarely in breast fed cases. A special form of scurry called Barlow's Disease affects children, usually appearing between the sixth and twelfth month, and rarely after the second year.

This disease causes severe pains in the child's lower limbs, and may a screaming when the child is touched. The limbs appear to be slightly swollen and semi-paralyzed. As the disease progresses, the symp- itoms spread to the upper arms, and marked changes occur In the appearance of the chest, giving the sternum the appearance of having been shoved back toward the spinal column. There may be a pufflness of the upper eyelid and a fluctuating temperature. These babies usually have a general bloated appearance accompanied by clay, colored tint of the akin.

This disease will never develop when the proper diet Is used, and it is the doctor's duty to see that the baby is properly fed so that this disease does not occur. By changing the diet to raw certified cow's milk with alternate tendings or orange, lime or tomato juice, the generally respond quickly.

It Is found more frequently in large cities and in the poorer districts of Kurope and America, particularly among the children of the darker races. This disease rarely appears before the first year of life or after puberty.

A lack of sunlight Is considered the principal factor, but there usually are additional causes such as a lack of exercise, too long nursing period, bad air, and unbalanced food, Th head gives the appearance of being larger than normal and there Is usually a distinct puffiness of the ace 16 sWn flaccid and loose, and the Joints ap- eHr enlarged; the chest is thin and the abdomen pro- ru ding; the liver and spine are enlarged.

My blood pressure Is low and: I am cold all the time. What would be the causes of these 'different condition?" ANSWER: A subnormal temperature, with a low blood pressure, shows that you are greatly enervated and require a very definite course in physical culture to strength back to nomral, Besides regulating carefully, the one thought for you to keep In to practice In principle, is to increase your could be regarded. as conserving thc rights of man, for the fat men may be kindlier, me disposed to mingle mercy' with justice, than the impatient man. So, the jury box must be remodelled, say tho.sc who have used-it. Must Reduce Election Costs The convention of Illinois county officials at Rock Island, 111., adopted a resolution calling for a legislative enactment to increase the possible county tax rate from 25 cents to 40 cents, to meet increased obligations of the counties.

To cut down expenses on the other hand thc county officers favored a change in term of office of members of county boards from two years to four reducing thc number of elections-. While considering the subject of elections there could be another valuable, worth while change in election laws which consolidate election dates. We do have such foolish arrangements. In all municipalities in counties except those where township and city lines are coextensive, they, elect township officers thc first Tuesday in 'April and city officers third Tuesday, making double election expenses, They hold judicial elections at different times.

W. asks: "Will you kindly tell me if an operation for a hernia is necessary? If not, I would like to know the best way of removing it." ANSWER: An operation for hernia or rupture is seldom necessary, as this trouble can generally be cured through developing the abdominal muscles which, when well developed, will hold back the protruding peritoneum wall. It is well to wear a suitable support which lightly holds the rupture In place but does not protrude into the weak spot.

A Washington Bystander By KIRKE SIMPSON WASHINOTON-It Is a little startling, at first glance, to observe Washington enthusiastically urging Honduras and Guatemala to submit their ancient boun dary dispute to the Central American Tribunal for arbl (ration Unusual diplomatic pressure has been exerted on Honduras which held out for arbitration by President Coolldge or Chief Justice Taft, Not so long'ago, Secre tary Lansolng was bluntly telling the now defunct Cen tral American Court of Justice to mind its own business when on Costa Rlcan complaint it undertook to consider questions arising from the Bryan-Chamorro canal rights treaty between Nicaragua an dthe United States. The court expired with the treaty creating it due to Ington's cold-shoulder attitude, largely. Impcrlallun Cry Avoided There Is a very wide difference between the Tribunal and the defunct court, however. The former is not a purely Central American permanent body, subject to inescapable political influences, but merely a panel ot Pan American jurists or repute, North, South and Cen- trol Americans, from which each party to a submitted dispute would aeleut a disinterested member, those two judges to name a third man either of the panel or out A New Yorker at Large for a walking stick, the Rltz-Carlton to Workmen sanding thc exterior of restore Its limestone to pristine whiteness.

GOSIf, YOU MUSl HAVE SOMETHJNG ON YOUR side it as presiding officer for the purposes of the ensuing arbitration.

No sovereignty question could be taken up without the assent of the Central American government involved. Bearing that picture In mind, it is easy to see that Washington hns glimpsed a clmnce to make a graceful diplomatic gesture, inviting Pnn-American cooperation In adjustment of Centrol American differences. Who could raise the cry of Imperialism, particularly as two great American owned banana companies, one with Honduran and 'the other with Guatemalan contacts, have developed the productive value of much of the disputed territory and will be affected by the outcomes? These companies, Woshlngto have nothing to do with the boundary row which far antedated their appearance. Any disinterested arbitration should amply care for their legitimate Past Experiences Honduran pleas for American arbitration falls on deaf cars for several reasons. For one thing, President Coolidge had bitter experience in the Tacna-Arica arbitration impasse.

Although lie acted only as' an individual, not In the name of the United States government, demands for police work by the United States to insure a fair pledeclte arose- clamorously, More than that, however. anti-American propagandists In Latin America and abroad have pictured thr "Colossus of the North" as trying to hog the whole show in Central America and maintain a virtual lone-handed protectorate over the five little republics against their will. What Washington would like to see happen would be selection of a South American panel member by jeaeh disputant and the third member picked by those two from qualified international jurists in the United States who have no government connection. Such a man as John Bassett Moore would fit this picture. Perils of governmental entanglements or international political bias would be escaped.

So Secretary Kellogg, with Roy T. Davis, American minister to Costa Rico and who headed the last fruitless commission effort to solve the boundary row, sitting at his elbow, insistent on Tribunal treatment.

From WLW comes thc following which we pass along to the crowd without comment: "I'm Just waiting for the actresses to come out," replied the waiting one wistfully when questioned by the WLW doorman, The doorman finally revived, and asked the incipient "stage door Johnny" if there was any particular "actress" he wanted. I wrote to the blonde who sang 'Dixie Dawn' last night and asked her for a date and I'm waiting to see if she'll give it to me," he confided. "Did you ever see her?" "Then how do you know she's a blonde?" pursued the questioner.
