attention of their self-appointed

to attend a movie when the cupboard

REMEDY FOR ILLS
OF U. BUSINESS
Variety Proposals Under
Consideration No Single
Plan Bears Earmarks Of
Panacea, It Is Stated-
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. (AP)
President Hoover Is Intensively study
ing means of putting the economic
structure of the nation on a firmer
foundation.
A variety of proposals are under
discussion. Whether any of them will
reach the stage of actual fruition In
the near future remains speculative.
The suggestions reach Into diverge
ram I flea t tons of the business and eco
nomic system of the United States,
and touch also upon the world de
pressions.
No Panacea Yet.
It was said at the White House
today that no one new plan had bean
produced as a panacea for the Ills of
Industry. The present effort Is a con
tlnuatton of the ntudles the presl
dent has been making with a view to
easing the situation Wherever possible,
At home, the president's efforts
relate to such subjects as the relief
of agriculture, the establishment of
a better permanent fabric of employ
ment, and maintenance of the stand
ard of living.
In the foreign field, Mr. Hoover Is
preparing to speak on International
trade next week at a meeting of Pan
American commercial representatives
here. He ! gathering material also
for his forthcoming conversations
with Premier Laval of Prance.
Ogtleti Mills Calls.
One feature and another of these
various topics were examined yester
day at a series of conferences with
some of the president's economlo ad
visors. Today, Ogden Mllis, under
secretary of the treasury, was an early
caller at the White House.
The executive also Is keeping close
watch on governmental expenditures,
o that the government Itself may
help and not complicate the situation
by Its fiscal operations.
He Is much Interested In the dis
cussions of a committee of the cham
ber of commerce of the United States,
which today recommended creation
of a planning board to help keep
production and employment on an
even keel in times of depression.

OF
Lands Borrowed From State
Ordered Returned Within
Six Months Churches
Have Large Interests
MADRID (AP) Bpanlsh families
who have been basking for centuries
on the fat lands loaned by former
kings In return for financial services,
have been called up by republican
officials to 'settle their debts."
A department of Justice decree.
whJah needs only the sanction of the
assembly for Its enactment, requires
that lands borrowed from the state
on the above terms be returned
within six months.
Cash Brings Titles
The decree Itself explains that In
olden times Spanish kings were ac
customed to form out miles of state
property as security for individuals
and organizations furnishing the
royal court with financial assistance.
Titles often were conferred With the
transactions, and persons with a few
thousand spare ducats could become
favored figures at the royal courts.
The republican decree Is based on
the conviction that revenues from
the ' loaned properties have more
than recompensed the present hold
ers for the cash outlay of their pre
decessors. "Only by' culpable negligence are
these properties now outside state
patrimony," says the decree.
Will Pursue Delinquents ,
Legal machinery will be set up to
insure accurate accountancy In the
liquidations. However, no official
wilt hazard a guess concerning the
total value of Vie property to do re
turned. It Is believed In the depart
ment of Justice that church organi
zations often figured In these trans
fers. Article 7 of ' the decree provides
that any balance due the state after
the properties have been evaluated
up until 1916, will be collected
promptly. Exemption will be granted
on revenues of the properties for the
past 16 years.
Legal forces under the treasury
department, will be required to trace
delinquents, subject to hearings In
court.

WEATHER PROPHET

IT IS A CRIME
There la nothing Insidious about

know Just when and where. Then
when It gets
started It reaches
full maturity
within 48 hours
but It depends
on how dumb
you are, whether
you go on suf

time and longer.
or obtain Imme

farthest away, yet how near It seems
when you have a felon I
One thing about a felon. It gives
you an excellent means of guaglng
your doctor's comptence or ability.
If he hears v your complaint and
takes one good look at the digit
without touching It, and proceeds
to get ready to anesthetize, you and
Incise the thing and drain it (not
"lance" It), he's a good doctor. If
he fiddles around, presses on the
already excrutlatlngly tender digit
trying to elicit fluctuation (evidence
of pus) and then stalls along with
ointment, poultice, or some such
nice old grandmotherly sympathy,
you would do well to ease yourself
out of his shop as soon as you can
make a polite escape, and took up
another doctor who knows some
thing about good conservative sur
gery. There Is only one safe and ef
fective treatment for felon, and that
ln.mcc!1rttff and thorough surgloai
Incision, under anesthesia of course.
Any other treatment Is Just nurs
ing, and nursing a felon is a crime,
even If It costs the victim only a
few days of unnecessary suffering
The relief of the pain of a felon
which la Inflammation and suppu
ratlon under the tight, periosteum
or covering ' of the bone Is only
one good reason for the Immediate
free Incision down to the bone: the
more Important reason is to prevent
possible serious septicemia (blood
poisoning) or extensive damage to
the victim's hand, which may oc
cur If the incision and drainage Is
postponed 24 hours.
The ancient practice of "lancing"
auch Infections without the use ot
an anesthetic was atrocious, not only
for the unjustifiable pain of the
timid puncturing or stabbing, but
for the frequent failure of such
half-way treatment to bring cure
and even relief. Even If you're a
dumb hero end don't. mind having
such torture inflicted on you, don't
chance It. for the probability is
you'll be little or no better off to
morrow, and your little hero act has
gone for naught. A few whiffs of
ether, or nitrous axld (laughing gas)
and oxygen, or other anesthetic and
the . doctor can do a proper Job and
assure you a good night's rest and
prompt and painless healing.

darn nice girl she is."
Sam admitted that ahe did not.
She had never really thought of
Martha at all except a an individ
ual who never seemed to be able to
make a bed properly, and who al
ways managed to get bits ot shell
Into the cup with a soft boiled egg.
Nelson evidently saw ber in a very
different light. He called ber a
"darn nice girl" and would have
elaborated upon the theme had Sam
been willing to listen. She, how
ever, pleaded a beadache and went
up to ber room wbers ehe could be
alone to think.
Fourth Alders ea bad a pleasant
facility for being able to forget

in which be bad left the borne ot tba
widow Frye, and was highly pleased
with himself In the role of trium
phantly providing male.
He tossed the little heap of new
bills carelessly into Sam's lap and
remarked, with a wave of the hand:
"Well, there's that small matter of
the mortgage Interest settled, I
hope we won't have to hear about
It again tor another six months."
Sam fingered the money In amaze
ment and delight. "Fourth, If thil

She got up from her chair and
kissed ber stepfather Impulsively,
"Oh, Fourth, I don't know how to
thank you! You can't realize how
worried I've been."
Fourth patted her chek, and nod
ded. "I know," he said gravely.
Nelson looked at the money and
whistled. "All brand new fifties!
Maybe a man couldn't have hlmsell
a time wltb a handful of those."
"Maybe be could," said Sam an
sympathetically, "but he isn't going
to. These little Hems are going to
keep a root over our heads for an
other halt year. I think I'll sleep
with them under my pillow to be
sura of having happy dreams." ,
Sam may have had happy dreams,
but her awakening the next morn
ing was not happy, even with the
thought of Fourth's contribution to
tbe family welfare lying snugly In
a handkerchief case In her top bu
reau drawer. The Inevitable reac
tion to ber exhilaration of the da;

presented Itself as an endless serlei
ot blank, meaningless, lonely hours
She dully went through with the
business of getting herself dressed
and of eating breakfast. She no
tlced that Nelson seemer1 nervoui
and depressed, and that Martba'i
eyes showed signs of recent tears
Martha had undoubtedly been told
of Sam's discovery, and was ter
rlbly frightened as a consequence
Sam felt that It did not matter; thai
nothing mattered very much. Shi
wondered if Freddy bad already lefl

When she returned to the stabli
after the routine business of mar

yellow car standing at the front
door. Sam's heart almost stopped
beating wben she saw It, tor the cai
was a distinctive shade ot yellow
She knew at once tbat tt was a taxi:
city tail, startllngly and almost
absurdly out ot Its element .
Sam shut off tbe motor with a
band that trembled, and ran swiftlj
across the drive to the front door.
