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. Give
your child a chance I

In Washington
By Herbert I'lnmmcr
WASHINGTON Now that Demo
cratic leaders have agreed on whom
inoy win recommend for keynoter
aim uvrmanent cnuirman or tneir
national convention at Chicago In
June, gossip centers on the choice
lor tho third big post chairman of
tno piauorm committee.
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

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
