A MESSAGE bag just been received bere In which 'Walter
. S. Gifford, director of the President's Organization on Un
employment Belief, expresses himself as favoring "a well-rounded
community program" of welfare, and relief work, with ade
quate provision for publio health services, child care, organized
recreation and Character-Building Agencies.
Mentioning specifically these various divisions of welfare ac
tivity as being of great importance in the general program of
social reconstruction, Mr. Gifford stated, his attitude a few days
ago in a message to the National Social Work Council in New
Tork. ' i' , ' . :-' v ' ; '
Mr. Gifford said ' ;
"The President's Organisation on Unemployment Relief Is an
emergency organisation concerned with problems growing out of un-
. employment, and therefore emphasis Is put upon unemployment re
lief programs. It Is obviously Important, however, that localities '
r give careful consideration to a' well-rounded community program -and
undertake to carry forward health work, where needs wlU be
Increased; child care which will present even greater demands If the
welfare of the children Is to be looked after;, and that considerable .

The Governors Condition
JHE BEND BULLETIN, edited by Judge Robert "W. Sawyer,
for a good many years a member, of the state highway
commission, asks editorially for some frank statement as to
the physical condition and prospects of Governor Meier either
from the governor's family or physicians. The request is timely
and reasonable, and as The. Bulletin points out, information on
the situation is necessary in the interests of the people.
The governor, has been ill more than eight weeks.. No doubt
morbid curiosity has inspired and helped exaggerate many of
the reports alleged to have come direct from the sick room. It
would be helpful' to, the governor, if he is to continue in office,
to have the peqple given reliable facts. as to his condition. The
widespread confidence which
spired is being shaken by rumors that the leader may be per
manently disabled.
As we Btated some time ago,

from the Chicago News :
Murder of witnesses for the
serious crimes has come to be reoognized as a well-established
practice when members of criminal Banes are involved Roth thfi
state s attorney and the United States district attorney find
they must take unremitting and extraordinary precautions when
plans are under way to bring gangsters or allies of gangsters to
justice. : '
Attention is called afresh to this intolerable condition by the
recent brutal slaying of a young man whose knowledge of es
sential facts in a case of attempted robbery' threatened the se
curity of a notorious underworld woman. Leonard Ingstrom,
whose body was found in a ditch on the southern outskirts of
the city, with throat cut and four bullets in the head,, was a
hard-working and law-abiding young man. He had intervened
to save his landlady from a murderous assault. He was the
state's chief witness in the case: Later he was threatened with
death beoause of his testimony. His murder followed.
Thus organized crime' protects its own. And by that method
it creates terrorism that silences many who have information es
sential to the ends of justice. There is a long list of cases against
criminals that have failed because witnesses vanished kid
naped, as Ingstrom was, and slain j but no one can tell how many
onmes have gone unpunished, how many criminals have enjoy
ed a long immunity, because persons who might have aided jus

you call it your

lar plexus Is i
kind of sub-sta
tion of the autonomic or "sympa
the tie" nervous system, a nerve-cen
ter for the stomach, as well as for
other digestive organs. But this
nerve ganglion or plexus lies behind
the stomach and hence la not vul
nerable to blows upon the epigas
trium. If an ordinary blow directed
to that spot were likely to disturb
the solar plexus, then that blow
ought to be barred as a foul,
matter whether It Is above or below
the variable level of the belt. The
truth Is that In most real boxing
matches the contestants land re
peated blows on one another's epi
gastrium, which flushes angrily, but
that Is all the effect such blows
ordlnsrly produce.
There has been at least one ring
fatality ascribed to a solar plexus
blow. Such a death" Is certainly
not due to shock so produced. A
more likely explanation of It Is air
embolism. A hard blow upon the
epigastrium Is comparable with a
crushing blow upon an Inflated
paper sack. The sudden compression
of the air tears open an outlet
somewhere, and the delicate air cells
of the lungs are the weakest place.
There the air Is forced out of the
lungs and Into the blood vessels.
small feeders of the pulmonary vein
which carries the oxygenated blood
from the lungs back to the heart.
Sudden deaths of good swimmers,
following dives from a height and
belly-splashing are due to air em
bolism. Air Is found In the pulmo
nary veins and left auricle of the
heart In the necropsy In such cases.
A small bubble of air In a blood
vessel may be sufficient to block the
circulation. If that vessel happens
to supply a vital part of the brain
or the heart wall, the effect of such
embolism is fatal.
Writers of murder mysteries must
not try to dispose of the potential
corpse by Injecting a hypodermic
dose of air Into a vein, for this
method doesn't work out so well. Re
cently Investigators In Europe tried
to kill a steer that way. They
found the eteer never turned a hair

I THROUGH THE WARS
IT was not Freddy, however, who
was calling, but a friend who
wanted to wish her happiness upon
her engagement. The friend with
any encouragement would have
talked indefinitely, but Sam did not
want to talk. She pleaded being
very busy, at last, and hung up the
receiver.
AH morning long the telephone
continued to ring, and each time
Sam answered it eagerly, only to
be disappointed. The whole world
wanted to converse with her, It

teemed, except the one person who
mattered. No word came from him
By twelve o'clock she admitted
to herself that she was beaten. It
was evident that she was not going
to see. Freddy again, or even have
the consolation of hearing his voice.
The Incident was closed, apparent-
ly, and probably it was a good
thing. What was the old saw about
the mercy of the surgeon's knife?
She decided to answer just one
more call and then to leave the
receiver off Its hook.
Tha next call was not from Fred-
dy, nor was it from one of her
well-wishing friends.. It was from
one of tha more sensational of the
city's newspapers. There was a re
port, ths voice said, that young Mr.
Aldersea bad been married the day
before In Klkton. Was this true?
Was It an elopement? Who was the
girl?
Sam merely said: "I don't know."
She repeated the phrase monoto
nously five or six times. Then she
laid the receiver carefully on the
top ot the table and walked out of
the house.
Late In the attrnoon both Fourth
Aldersea and Peak Abbott arrived
at the stable.
Fourth came In a tew minutes
before Peak, and It was obvious
that his good spirits of the morning
had disappeared. He walked across
the room slowly, took off his coat
and hat, and turned toward the
stairs.
He spoke to Sam over his shoul
der. "You'll be Interested to know,
Joan," he said with elaborate care
lessness, "that my new daughter-In-law's
father Is a retail dealer In fish.
From now on we'll be able to get
all sorts of nice tresh fish at attrac
tlve prices."
"How do you know?" Sam In
quired dully.
"Oh, It's all In that paper In my
overcoat pocket You can read It it
you like. There Is an elaborate de
scription of the flsh business and
all sorts of other Interesting details
about our two happily Joined little
families."
He walked up the stairs to the
second floor and slammed the door
heavily behind him.
Sam got up from her chair and
went over to Fourth's overcoat,
from which she extracted a bright
green newspaper. She then went
directly to the fireplace, tossed the
paper without glancing at It be
tween the andirons, and set It alight.

gaged, Abbott' I said, 'Yes. Aren't
you going to congratulate me?"
He paused. "And then?" Sam In
quired in a small voice.
Then came the funny part In
stead of making the usual remark,
Munson just shrugged his shoulders
and said, 'I'm not so sure that you
are to be congratulated. Peak
laughed. "Can you beat that? If I
hadn't know newspaper people I
might have thought that he meant
some reflection on you. He didn't
of course."
"Didn't her
"Certainly not He just meant
that anybody about to be married
was open to commiseration, and not
congratulation. It's ths old familiar
cynicism, but I have a feeling that
he was sincere."
"Prohably he was."
Sam walked over to a chair and
cat down. Involuntarily she put (
both hands over her face.
Peak started toward her. "What
Is It Sam?" he asked anxiously. ;

TRAGIC CONSEQUENCES
By Alice Judson Peale.
A man in his thirties sought the
help of a psychiatrist.
'He had become so oppressed tn
splrl-. that hs was unable to carry,
on his work, and was frequently .,
overtaken by such fits of brooding"
melancholy that It was Impossible :
for anyone to arouse him.
The subsequent analysis of hist
troubles , brought to light the mem.-"'
ory of an occurrence which had long
been banished from his mind.
At the age of elx he had been
playing In the garden with his Ilttlo
elster. :
She had insisted upon usfng the
swing long after he. thought It was ,
his turn, end in a sudden wave-of
anger he had caught the swing In
midair. She lost her grip, fell, and :
broke her hip. It was never prop
erly set, and ehe always was crippled. .
iJ'jring tne weeks that followed no
one spoke to the boy. His mother
could not bear the sight ot him, and
his father took pains to impress upon
him again and again the full enor-
lty of his deed.
The guilt thus deeply burned Into
his soul had made him all his life
an excessively gentle and considerate
person. He had never been able to
assert himself against aggression.
a year ago his slater died, not
from any cause connected with the
accident, but weighed down by the
guilt of the past, he felt her death
to be his fault.
When eotne thoughtless or even
badly Intentloned act on the oart of
a child results in serious, even traglo
consequences, we must, be on guard
to do everything possible to minimize
his feeling of guilt.
A normal child will be sufficiently
repentant without having his respon
sibility further brought home.
The danger Is all on the other side.
Unless care Is taken then and there.
to lift from ihi child's spirit the bur
den of too heavy guilt, be Is likely
ro oecome a neurotic.
