A Great Chief Justice
LIBERAL elements in the United States have awakened to
the faot that when their cause is just they have a champion
in Charles Evans Hughes, chief justice of the supreme court.
The testy magazine, Outlook, admits this,, with some surprise,
in its leading article in the current issue.
Mr. Hughes was long tarred, through no fault of his own,
with the capitalistic and reactionary brush. In, his private
practice, being a brilliant' lawyer, he naturally was drawn to
the big-money cases. Then, in 1916, when he ran for the
presidency against Wilson, democratic propaganda tied him up
with Wall street. The "millionaire special" of that campaign,
carrying wives of eastern millonaires out to convert the ignor
unt women of the west, was almost fatal to his reputation.
It became an established faot in the public mind that Mr.
Hughes was the voiee of big business and when in February,
1930, Mr. Hoover submitted to the senate the name of Mr.
Hughes as the successor to Chief Justice Taft, an uproar rose
from the liberals. Borah, Norris 26 in all voted against con
firmation. "'
""PHAT Mr. Hughes is neither a conservative -nor a liberal,
but apparently an almost perfect judge, willing to con
sider every individual case on
doing, is now the astonishing finding of the misled people
and the misled liberals. '
Sutherland, Butler, MoReynolds and Van Devanter are a
conservative bloc of four on the supreme bench, Holmes,
Brqndeis and Stone are a liberal bloo of three opposing them.
Consequently the balance is led by Chief Justice Hughes and
Justice Roberts, who repeatedly have demonstrated their disin
terestedness, and their willingness to interpret law in the light
of modern problems. Chief Justice Hughes decided for labor
mi Injunction proceedings under the railway labor act of 1926 ;
he wrote a dissenting opiuion when Justice Roberts sided with
the conservatives in refusing oitizenship to Professor Macintosh
of Tale; he CBst the deciding vote against the Minnesota "press
gag" act; he joined the liberal bloo in upholding the constitu
tionality of the Indiana chain-store tax; he sided with the lib-'
cnils in the "red flag" case coming out of California.
ALL THIS has happened in the less than two years that Mr.
Hughes has been chief justice, and it is sufficient to assure
fonvnrd-loqking poople that he cannot be stampeded that he
sees good in the new, yet clings to the best in the old. If it
wore possible always to secure such a man as Charles Evans
Hughes, the country could safely get along with one man on
the supreme bench instead of nine, Oregonian.

BURSA, BURSA, WB O HAS A BURSA?
New York Dye Works, Inc., of Indefinitely long after the trouble has
Connecticut, writes a monograph en
titled "Doc Brady's Bursitis vs. Mine."
I am 37 years of sge. While play
ing baseball two
yeans ago I threw
the ball with
great force and
suffered a sharp
pain In shoulder.
This disappeared
a quickly as It
came. Thereafter
the pain return
ed momentarily
whenever I threw
the ball hard.
One morning two
montha later I
awoke with pain In the shoulder which
grew steadily worse, and after two
daya could .not raise my arm at all.
Sleepless nights doctor tried strap
ping arm and snouioer ano sung.
No good. X-ray of shoulder showed
bursa. Bone specialist referred me
to throat specialist. Next day my
tonall were removed In the old
Spanish style.- Two weeks after that
the shoulder pain disappeared com
pletely.
Second reel. Time, 1931. This
time the loft shoulder. I dropped
from horizontal bar with all my
weight on the wrists and experienced
sudden pain in left shoulder. For
five months thereafter any use of
that shoulder gave considerable pain.
Pain occurred only when shoulder
moved In a certain direction. So one
day I went and had X-ray made, and
sure enough there waa a bursa In
that shoulder too. This time I had
diathermy treatments recommended
by the X-ray specialist. I have Just
finished my seventh diathermy treat
ment and It doea NOT help. Strap
ping the shoulder only Increased the
pain, so I asked the doctor to re
move the adhesive . . .
Kuh, my bursitis ran on for six
months, tho 1 never knew It was bur
sitis I thought It was one thing or
another, such as closed car neuritis,
a cervical rib, aortic aneurism, sar
coma of the acromion, etc.. etc., as
even a doctor wilt- do when he Is
feeling mean and the diagnosis was
not made until after my bursitis was
completely cured. Mine was cured by
counter Irritation, I reckon. Anyway,
the right shoulder suddenly coased
troubling me when I sustained a fr -ture
of the left ehoulder. The ort:
pedlo man who made some X-ray
negatives of the Injured ehoulder
made one of the sound shoulder for
comparison, and discovered a calcified
deposit in the subdeltoid (subacro
mial) Bursa.
Inflammation of this Uttle pad la a
common cause of lame or painful
shoulder. The bursa Is a thin sac
containing a few drops of fluid. It
Is outside the shoulder Joint and
has no communication ith the Joint.
Often such bursitis Is diagnosed as
brachial neuritis. In some cases the
pain la so severe that the patient Is
absolutely disabled. Whether bursitis
Is caused solely by ' violence or by
focal Infection or by both la a moot
question. -In some- cases there Is no
hlator. of Injury or strain or of sud
den onset. Both men and women
suffer, and sedentary folk as much aa
athletic.
In most cases of subdeltoid bursitis
a calcareous deposit occurs In or
about the bursa, and this appears In
the X-ray film sometimes apparently
within a few days after the on1 of
the trouble. In many case the
shadow of the calcification disappears
as the pain and lameness clear up.
but sometimes the deposit remains

brows. "How inconvenient"
"Joan!" Fourth turned. "Please
lon't be cruel. I I've been In

"Ton look It." Joan cou'a not
resist the temptation to smile, and
it the same time to relent. "I'll
tee if I can't stir up some break
fast for you. Yon haven't had any,
suppose?"
"Breakfast!" K made a gesture
which Implied that breakfast bad
been furthest from this thoughts.
'I don't think that I want any."
Fifteen minutes late, he was
rapped In his bathrobe and was
latlng a hearty meal with every
appearance of enjoyment. He
looked up at Sam and said earnest
ly: "Committing suicide Isn't an
easy thing, Joan."
"Where did you spend the night?
In the garage?"
He shuddered. "Some ot the
time I was In the garage. Some of
the time I wandered. I wonder
where I'll be wandering tonight."
Sam pointed a stern finger. "Look
here. Fourth," she demanded.
"Don't you think that we've had
about enough ot this foolishness?
I have an Idea that you'd better
make np your mind to stay here
and be agreeable, or get out"
He sighed. "Then I shall have
to get out. It Is obvious that I am
not wanted here."
"That's nonsense." Sam was con
temptuous. "It's entirely up to you
whether or not you stay here, and
personally I think you'd bettet. It
might be more pleasant tban walk
ing the streets."
"PerbarJs you're right" Fourth
shivered reminiscently. "At any
rate, Joan, I promise to give the
matter careful consideration."
From that time, lite In the stable
went on more or less smoothly.
Fourth, to be sure, utterly refused
to speak a single woru to his new
daughter-in-law, and he avoided her
as carefully as possible. Of his
son, however, he gradually became
more tolerant and It seemed pos
sible that eventually there might
by a complete reconciliation.
Nelson, as be had anticipated,
bad difficulty In finding a Job, and
It was Peak wbo gave him some
thing to do. Peak apologized to Sam
tor the nature of the work and tor
the small salary that went with it
Sam waved the apologies away.
"The salary doesn't matter," she
said. "He and Martha can live at
the stable as long as Is necessary."
. "How about Fourth? Doesn't he
make things difficult?"
"He did at first, but he's calming
down now. I think he has some
thing else on his mind." ' Sam
frowned. "To tell you the truth,
Peak, I'm Just a bit worried about
that something else."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that he's fussing about
with that darn Invention ot his
again. Every company In the
country has told blm that It Is no
good for commercial use, but tbey
can't convince Fourth."
"Why be worried?" Peak laughed.
"It may take his mind oft Nelson,
and It can't do any harm, anyhow."
"That's Just what I'm worried
about I'm atrald It may do harm."
She hesitated. "Yon see. Peak,
Fourth has a widow. Her name is
Eugenie Frye."
"What do you mean 'has a
widow'?"
"Just what I say. She's in love
with him that's obvious. 8h has
a lot of money, too."
Peak whistled. "Do you really
mean it?. What's bis widow like?"
Sam smiled. "Oh, she's she's "
"I see. Yon mean you're afraid
that Fourth might marry her?"
"Marry her?" Sam's eyes opened
wide In astonishment "I never

Again Peak pondered. "If I were
you I'd just sit tight and wait II
events make it necessary for you
to take steps, yon can take them."
"Yon bet I can take them!" Sam
was grim. "Tile widow Frye means
nothing to me. hut I'm not going
to stand by and watch her spend
her good money for nothing."
Sam knew that Peak's advice
was sensible. At the same time wait
ing was nervous business. Fourth's
excitement Increased dally. He waa
continually rushing in and out of
the house on mysterious errands.
He made innumerable calculations
on the backs ot old envelopes.
The crisis came quite unexpect
edly. Sam came home' from the
city late one afternoon to find that
Fourth had arrived before her. He
was playing a lusty march upon
the mouth organ, and Sam needed
no more than a glance to know that
he was on the crest of one of bis
'more precipitous emotional waves.
She took oft her hat and rubbed
her forehead. "You look disgust
ingly cheerful.. What's the cause
to.- celebration?"
"Celebration?" He took the
mouth organ from his Hps and
winked at her. Then he glanced
mysteriously about the room and
hummed the concluding bars of the
tune he had been playing. "Who
said anything about a celebration,
Joan?"
"I did." She regarded him
severely. "There's no use in try
ing to he coy. Fourth. You look
exactly as though you'd swallowed
the canary. What's np?"
"My dear child!" He smiled with
Intense satisfaction. "I'm not aware
that anything Is up, and yon should
know by this time that I make it
a rule never to swallow canaries.
My mother used to say to me:
'Never swallow a canary, my son,
and you'll grow up to be a credit
to the nation.'"
"All right have it your own
way."
Sam know that there was nothing
to.be done witb blm In that mood.
It he had something to divulge he
would divulge it at his own sweet
pleasure. She turned toward the
stairs, but Fourth stopped her.
"I deem it a great honor." he
said sweetly, "to be able to inform
you at this time that my son and
bis estimable spouse have flown
the coop. In more vulgar terms I
might say tbey have skipped tho
well known gutter."
' Sam was motionless for an In
stant Then she turned slowly, a
bright spot of color in either cheek.
"Are you trying to ' 11 me." she in
quired evenly, "that Nelson and
Martha have gone away?"
Fourth grinned. "Precisely, ray
dear child."
Sam walked ovtr to whers be
stood and looked up at him. "Have
they gone for good?"
He continued to grin. ""For
good' are exactly the words 1 should
use to express the Idea. I can assure
you that their departure is more or
less a permanent move."
Sam gulped, hardly able to be
lieve her ears. "Did you have any
thing to do wltb their going?"
Fourth rocked back on his heels
and made an elaborately depreca
ting gesture. "My nature rebels,
Joan, at saying anything that might
sound like a boast At the same
time, honesty compels me to blush
and admit that I bad ererithing to
do with their going."
Sam took a full step backward,
bor eyes blazing. "You " She
almost choked over her words.
"You I"

In ths next Installment. He gives
Sam a second shock, which brings
ths two into bitter disagreement.
