THE HEALTH KOUND-UP For the sake of their children the parents of Union county should co-operate wholeheartedly in the annual summer Health Round-up to be held in La Grande next Monday for the purpose of checking up on the health of those youngsters who will start to school for the first time next fall. School life is strenuous and demands a child's best efforts, physically and mentally; but he cannot' be expected to do his best mentally if ho is laboring under a physical handicap, such as defective vision or Jiearing, diseased tonsils or ade noids, bad teeth, or any onfl of various infections. Children of pre-school age frequently have minor physical deects which go unnoticed by their parents until more serious difficulties develop. A physical examination would have re vealed such defects at once, while they were still in such; a- stage as to be 'easily remedied. ;" Lewis . II. , Carris, . managing director for . the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness, recently estimated that there are at least 50,0(H)i school children with defective eyesight in this country. A; large proportion of them are sitting in classrooms and being called stupid when.it is their eyes and not their intellects that arc at fault, v. ,, f Such children themselves do not always know what ,is wrong. They do not understand why the boy across the fiislo learns so quickly what is meant when the teacher turns to the colored map that hangs on the wall. To the children with defective vision the map is a pink and green blur. '"' ! They don't know why other children complete the answers so quickly when the teacher writes a set of questions on the' blackboard. Now and then a child will discover that the blackboard 'Is moving farther and further away; that the words in his textbooks are growing smaller and smaller; that the objects he once saw clearly are now blurred in appearance. When that occurs he is seized with a strange, startled sense of fright. lie is afraid he is going blind. ; But ho won't say a word about it; he won't say that hated word out loud, lie struggles along, bearing the burden alone, thinking that if he keeps the secret to himself maybe jt won't happen. So he locks it up in his sensitive, misunder fetood, little heart. Tragedies like that will be avoided by children whose parents take advantage of the Health Koomd-Up, which costs not one cent, but saves hundreds of dollars, and pre vents untold hours of loHt time and hondicapped effort.

Tho man prominently mentioned at present, and the one said to have the backing of- the Roosevelt group, Is the tali, gray-halrcd, distinguished looking senator from Tennessee Cor- deii Hull. Hull la an old party war horse. He was chairman or the national committee from 1921 to 1024. and I has been his state's favorite son in tho last two conventions, in 1028, jsomo favored him aa Al Smith's run i nlnif mate, but Tonnr'Hwn iniiititrt I that ho head tho ticket and made no eirort in his behalf for tho second plu CO. Klected to his first public offlco at ino ago or hum has boon n nol tics, with tho exception of two brief intervals, over since. lie served U terms In the house before going over to tho senate In this congress. kxpi-.kt on kconomich Ho has como to bo known as a foremost expert on economics in congress. Ho sponsored tho Income and Inheritance tax laws while he was a member or tho house as well as numerous other measures deal ing with tho financial structure of tho country, t Senator Hull is not tho typo that likes tho limelight. As n member of tho house ho seldom made a speech, preferring to do his work In tho com in It too room. Ho Is rurelv seen on tho floor, except when his p-uhuiico is required on n roil cull. It Is a familiar sight to seo him cmergo from tho democratic cloak room, cigar cither in his mouth or hand, look around for a moment, then disappear. Ho has made his maiden speech In tho senate on tho economic H1k of tho country. Unless conditions compel him,, It'll probably bo a long wniio neioro no uocs unythlng like that again. Hull has Insisted all alont? that cconomla conditions should be stressed as tho major Issue In the coming campaign,. However, it is reported that on tho question of prohibition certain to bo of para mount concern In framing the party's platform, ho la not opposed to u referendum. THE REAL PROBLEM t Am nloinurg, in case you don't know, is tho .smallest poa S'hlc particle of energy the ultimate building block of which everythiiiK in the universe, from a Kiout mountain to a flickering candle flame, is made. It is described in tho new theory of matter put forward recently by Dr. K. K. Plyler, of the University of North Carolina, and it is so incredibly small that if you wanted to write down its size you would have to put down a decimal point, follow it with '17 ciphers and then add the figure 7. All of this, while it is simply incomprehensible to those of U8 who don't happen to bo physicists or mathematicians, rep resents an important new 'scientific advance, and demon strates anew what a marvellously active and intelligent thing the human bruin can be; but it also serves to show the curi ously uneven way in which our knowledge advances. Wc can trace the kinship between matter and energy down to a point unbelievably remote, and can dissect tho structure of all created things with a precision that almost transcends thought; and yet on such practical matters as finding a way in which all human beings can always have enough to eat and enough to wear and a warm place to sleep wc sometimes seem as incompetent as a group of school children. Again, we can give a fairly accurate account of how the universe is put together which, everything considcieiL is finite an achievement but we know no more why, or when, or what it is all about, than did the buffalo-hunting Indians of our western plains two centuries ago. We make magnificent triumphs in our laboratories and send thought questing restlessly beyond the most remote frontiers; but we have not yet solved the simple problem of getting along with one another in pence and harmony, and we have to spend a crushing proportion of all our wealth JURORS TAKE UP CASK AT EARLY HOUR (Continued From Pago One) Alter three weckH of mauciivrrlm;. challenging, arguing and pleading the cmso of Lieutenant Thomas 11. Mitsnie and three other defendants the ease nt to the uniiHuallv constituted Jury Into yesterday, and with the Jurors went a somewhat complicated i or inniructmiiH from circuit Judge Charles Sum Davis. The court ruled that the Jury could find tho defendants, with tint excep tion of MhnhIo, guilty of second de- greu murder, gullly of manslaughter, or not guilty, For Mnimlo, Judge Do vis Hald the Jury might make nny one r these findings, puis a possible ver dict of not guilty by reason of ln-suuiiy. A sepiiiiito verdict for each or the dvfeiHlnnts, Mitsslo, Myi. Gfninvllle KnrW'Kcue. Albert O. Jones and E. J. Lord, wits ordered. Juduo Davis also ruled that evidence regarding the as- suult upon the aceunod naval of! leer's wile, Mrs. Thalia Mns-sle, lu which Kalmhawal supposedly confessed par ticipation, could be consicoreu only us It related to Musslc's mental state. Relating to the defense contention that Marble's mind went blank when ho confronted the native with n pis tol and heard him corneas. Judge Davis lnnlt'uctcd that If n ploa of liiKimtty had been Introduced, the burden of proof was on the prosecu tion lo show tho naval officer sane. Warns .!iirrn The Jurist warned the twelve men that "no man may take the law into his own hands, and the alleged ! fact that the deceased ravaged the wife of one of the defendants can- consequence of which was the slay ing. It was ruled that all defendants could bo convicted of second degree murder or manslaughter If the Jury found that they conspired on Jan uary 7 last, the day before the abduc tion and slaying, to kill, to threaten with a pistol or kidnap the native, providing It determined that the kill ing was the result of such conspir acy. Mnssle Is "Key" Judge Davis said if the Jury de cided Massle killed Kahahawal and was insane at the moment, and had not planned the killing, then none of the defendants could be convicted unless the prosecution had proved a conspiracy to do things the reason able consequences of which would be Kahahawal's .death. Tho penalty for second degree mur der, the charge upon which the four were brought to trial, is 20 years to life Imprisonment. Manslaughter calls for a maximum penalty of ten years In prleon. An Intense plea In support of the Insanity defense of Lieutenant Massle and lu behalf of the unwritten law, made by Clarence Darrow, and a fiery demand by Public Prosecutor John C. Kelley for conviction of the quartet, preceded tho instructions. Tho Jury deliberated nn hour and 40 minutes, took two hours for lunch, and then returned to Its work. Judge Davis waited until 10 o'clock p. m. 3:30 a. m. E. 8. T.) for a ver dict and then retired. In concluding his argument Dar row proclaimed his kindliness toward all races and directed a special re mark to the three Chlncso on the Jury. Ho said he never had known tho eastern races "but they have their place In the sun." Ketlev llrlef, Flerv With brevity and fire Kelley whirl ed Into his argument. "You have been presented with; a defense of sympathy, not of Insan ity," ho said. "If you ore going to decldo this case on passion, then tell me and I'll be silent. "I Intend to paint the other side of the picture you havo been shown, and show you a vain, egotistical man who has been the cause of trouble." Kelley then asserted that Massle had taken his wife, against her de sires, to the dance the night of the attack, and that the naval officer was responsible for it all. "They sacrificed that girl," Ktilley shouted, pointing to Mrs. Massle, "for Ills ego and made a Horn an holiday for the crowd that disgraced this court with applnuso last week." Then lie ajSKc.-tcd Massle was "high" tho night of the dance. Massle had testified to taking a bottlo of liquor to tno party. Again hinting disbelief In Masslc's admission that he held tho pistol which killed Kahuhttwal, Kelley said: "He couldn't hide behind tho skirts of his mother-in-law. nor behind the two sailors who helped him. . . . Tho best you can say for him Is that 'he lied like a gentleman." Striding up and down In front of ! tho Jury, his face red with passion j Kelley asserted Masslc's story did not Justify tho killing, and that, under the laws of the territory, Is murder.' "Is ihero to be ono law for the people here and one for the visitors?" he demanded. "If you let these peo ple go they will make Masslu an admiral because he and Admiral Pint (chief of naval operations) think alike. They both bcllovo lu lynch law." "Up nt tho hospital," the prosecu tor went on, "when Mrs. Massle identified four men as her assailants. Llf Lleutennnt Mnsslc had picked up a gun ana mowed them down he would at least hnvo had tho respect of this community. "Hut It took him four months to get up courage to net, and then he had to get two enlisted men to help him." Again Kelley asserted that all Hawaii wns on trial in the present cane, referring to the Investigations and federal action thnt followed the outbreak of public sentiment here.
