Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Perry If Senator Brookhurt, of Iowa, tlioUKht ho wuh doing something smart and HtaitllnB in giving the details of rum guzzling by con grenanien, ho lias another think coming. The charge that aolona swig alcoholic concoctions, la about aa startling as the Information that fish do best in water, and that the average human must have air In Ills lungs to keep going; Senator Tlrookhart, however, could have taken his accusations from the commonplace, by giving a. few do tails. For Instanco: It would be Interesting to know If the solans who had exports to do their heavy thinking on the , tariff and farm aid, had an export to do their drinking. How drunk did the con gressman get, who distinguished himself by making dry Bpeochcs for $100 per vpecch and expenses?

BIO CITY WIRE SERVICE FOR MAIL-TRIBUNE NO one questions that the two greatest news services in the world are the Associated Press and Hie United Press. For many years the Mail-Tribiuie service, and it has now added know, there are only two or three stale that have both services, and they have undisputed leader ship in their respective fields. This extra service adds materially tq the Mail-Tribune's overhead expense, but it is an expense which wc feel is justi fied in our determination to give Jtedford, the "biggest little city on the coast," the biggest part of the country. With both services, the news coverage only equaled by a few of the largest metropoli tan newspapers in the United States. Wc have never been inclined ferring to leave the matter of bouquets to others. Put, as in the matter of A. P. C. membership yesterday, and United Press membership today, we fell we aro justified in calling two such important steps in this paper's growth and progress to the at tention of our siibseribers. A WET TILIC surprising thing is not that Senator Prookhart told the world about that wet banquet, but that ho was ever invited to it. .' '. What whs the big idea? Was it merely a practical joke, con ceived in an alcoholic atmosphere, or did the banquet managers believe that tho Iowa senator was only another hypocrite, vot-iujg- dry and drinking wet, who, safe from detection, would gladly filch a hip flask from a coat rack? In either, ease rthe perpetrators pulled a decided "boner." For there ARK a few sincere Drys in Congress, and Prookhart is ouo of them.' Senator Sinoot is another. And while under siie.h cii'eumstanccs the latter would never talk, the former could, under no THIi present situation , must those baiKiuet 'innuiiirpi'N. ns but as time goes on it promises rather than less so. For now the Iowa Senator and "tell everything." ; Many be spending sleepless nights until that jury report is out and the worst is known. " Wc have no particular use for Senator Prookhart; he is, in our opinion, a demagogue and a four-flusher. Put we grant him courage anil a certain degree of sincerity, when Prohibition is concerned. . Whatever the motive of those responsible for inviting the corn belt insurgent to that banquet, they were guilty of an error wc fear they will not soon forget. .Another fine tiling ahout flying is tlwit people who don't do it Hron't tnxoil to keep up u iniuk for those who do. If July, the month of sunshine, ho be "Sol" in the new calendar, why isn't the month of wedding called "Luna?" , i m i .

WHEN JIVSTKHIA Tho cynic In often cntlmental at heurt, lliu bully Ih usually an actual coward, una the prude la not bo pure when he In caught without her cloak. Of coui'ho not ovory bully provPH himself n coward if you Hcek to Rive him Homo of his own medicine. When dcallm? with u bully It is as well to procure a gool pUKllists's assist ance, whether you're a good phy- choloKHt or not. Indeed, tho ex treme disgust some good psychoN ovists profess to feel for "pristo flKhting" Ih prohuhly itself a de fense reaction. It is only natural for every boy to wish to bo ablo to defend himself and even to ex cel in boxing, but owing to the namby-pamby policy of popular education most hoyn receive no proper training In this art. Inev itably that loads to a certain de gree of fear of tho few fortunate ones who do not receive such train ing. Tho boy whose, education has been neglected naturally wants to forgot such unpleasant or shame ful feelings, and in time he may succeed In forgetting the origin of It, but In his subconscious mind thero remains the submerged mem ory and quite without the man's conscious knowledge this suppress ed wish is converted into tho very opposite feeling or emotion. When ever you hear some bitter-sweot soul sounding off about tho bru tality and wickedness of a boxing match, you may be pretty sure the poor fellow had a rotten education, probably no physical training ut all, surely no instruction in the manly art. But wha'V has this to do with hys teria? For that matter, what Is hys teria, exactly? Jiy.stcria Is a state In which somo repressed or suppressed idea, mom orV, experience, usually an unpleas-i ant one, temporarily emerges from the subconscious and controls the: body. Hysteria Is not to bo con-; fused with "hysterics" or tantrums or anything like that; nor Is it by nny means confined to one sex. Hysteria Is very difficult for tho best doctor to recognize or diag nose; a layman would seldom sui pect the true character of tho av-' erage case of hysteria. As many lay readers know, whether to their advantage or not, tho psychologist Freud and his fol lowers hold that hysteria is Invari ably tho outcome of a repressed wish that is related with sexual emotion In one way or another. Many of . tho laborious psychic analyses submitted - by Freudians as evidence of this seem far-fetch-' ed, but anyhow hysteria means that somo suppressed Idea has taken command of the personality, thus finding temporary relief In a round about iflodo of expression. Tho truth of this theory of hysteria U borne out. by tho success tho skill ed psychiatrist or mental specialist ofton attains In helping the patient get rid of the psychic skeleton that Is hidden In his mental closet. , Sport, in America, predisposes to hysteria not hysterics, but the real thing. So many football fans, for example, share in the excite ment of tho game, yet suppress tho Impulse to play themselves, or give it but a feeble vicarious relief 'in cheering, throwing things or biting their nulls In grandstand or bleach ers. If definite hysteria Is not the outcome of this sort of abnormal diversion, then the emollons-so ex eltcd and unnaturally repressed wilt find vent in other ways, such as tho neuroses, phobias, obsosslons. AVo can't all bo heroes, stars or champions, but everybody can do his own playing, even though It be only croquet or checkers. lf ESTIONK AMI AXSWEUS Doctor Knows IlrM.

Then one day 1 happened to mention It to my doctor, Ho was alarmed and advised me to cease at once, as on-j of tho seeds might get Into my ap pendix . . . N. T. Answer. Well, you should al ways obey your doctor or flro hlin and engage another. Maybe your doctor knows you are different from ordinary people. I particu larly recommend the flaxseeds to persons who have or think they I.S IS IXK)M have trouble In tho appendix. But I do not advise you to use flux seeds.

H. sanatorium throe' months? ft. F. C. j Answer. Itis unwise, to resume tho work or the way of living that led to tuberculosis. If you have no doctor to adviso you nowy the sanatorium physician will tell you whether you can safely do the work. Gonerally it Is better to take up some open air occupation if possible. It is always beat to continue Indefinitely in an environ ment as nearly as possible like that where you have recovered; this ap plies to climate, physical activity, 'diet, general habits. Radical changes in these matters should not be risked without the advice of your physician. Starch My Eye. I had always been strong and healthy until five years ago, when I developed an ulcer on my cheek. It persisted three years. Then a doctor told me that It was a can cer and must bo taken out. That was done. Then I asked him what was the trouble with me. He said starch poisoning. Then I let starchy foods alone, and began to live on fruit, vegetables, meat, bran and coarse grains. Now I am back to normal health, and never need any medicine, not even a- laxative . . . D. S. C. Answer. You only Imagined you were letting starchy food alone. Vegetables and whole grains con tain plenty of starch. But per haps you did need the vitamins, the roughage and the mineral mat ter that your new diet furnished. However, surgery cured your can "cer. That Is a thing apart. Thero Is no reason to believe that faulty diet has anything to do with can cer. (Copyright John F. Dille Co.)

And the jury acquitted him. a It used to be said "Nature lias a horror of void voyage." That was modified later. Human nature certainly has a horror of Inconspicuousness. Men hate "to amount to nothing" and will do almost anything to attract attention. One mun jumped into a volcano that he might die mysteriously.
