One can understand and re spect Colonel Lindbergh's re quest his desire to enjoy that privacy and anonymity, accord ed the undistinguished rank and file of this country. If it could be done we know one newspaper at least, that would be glad to do it. But it can't be. News is news. Fame is fame. The newspapers don't make the first, nor create the second. The people, swarming over this ball of dirt, do both. Colonel Lindbergh is the most famous American of this generation. He is our national hero. As long as he remains so, neither he, nor anyone connect ed with him, can enjoy that complete privacy and obscurity which is the heritage of the unknown. The. newspapers can help Colonel Lindbergh, and they should. They can keep report ers and photographers away from the Lindbergh home, they can refuse to meddle in his pri vate affairs, they can respect Lindbergh's wish to, keep his baby out of the rotogravures, for a year or so, but they can't give him that perfect freedom from the spotlight, which his modest heart desires. It can't be done. Not even Lindbergh can have his cake and eat it. He can't be Amer ica's uncrowned "King" and lead the life of Roosevelt's "forgotten man." We have to pay for everything in this life. Fame and greatness have their delights, ' but they also Have their penalties j and those who achieve the former must expect to assume the latter. The newspapers neither cre ate nor impose those penalties. The people do, both. The bulls may be waking up New York, but the bears are doing the job in Chicago not Wall street bears, but little baseball bears, i. e.s the Chi cago Cubs. And northern Illinois is Cub crazy as well. Coming up from down town last night, there was such a crowd at the corner cf Main and Jefferson the car had to crawl through. It was about 6 p. m.,' the sidewalks were packed and half the streets. It was the 10th inning and the score stood 2-2 between Chicago and Boston. Just as we passed, the raf' j boomed "Demaroe hits first ball to deep center Hermann scores, Cubs win it's all over!" and the crowd broke up at onco starting on the doublo quick for dinner. Throughout northern Illinois r.nd southern Wisconsin the same condition exists. No worf NEW YORK GREETS i ANMm.Hnfl CV v"bl rtk b. m sv t i"sk i i th.

The American Legion state convention at Danville recently closed and Rockford delegates have returned. One of them lives across the street, and gives the low doWn. "Lot of politics in these con ventions of course. Can't be helped. It's getting stronger all the time, but boozing isn't.

Think Hoover's attitude was just right. Most of the boys are for the bonus, but they aren't for trying to hold up the govern ment at the point of a gun. That bunch of I. W. W.'s did the bonus more harm, than anything that's happened in years. It lost us a lot of sym pathy and support we were entitled to." Speaking of bonus marchers, three of them returning west drifted into Rockford several days ago. They had hard pick ing for the list of unemployed here is a huge one, and the city is hard pressed to feed and clothe irs own. They were finally given food, new clothing, and some loose change by guess again, three members of the Junior League I The Junior League is sup posed to be made up of debu tantes with more money than brains and more snobbishness than sense. At least this is a very general impression and like many general impressions is wrong. The Rockford Junior League at least is composed of young matrons and girls, of all grades financially, but one general grade socially, and the organi zation concentrates upon help ful charity and social service. It is fair to assume these young ladies had no sympathy with the bonus marchers, what ever, were in a sense violating their code when they helped these unfortunate and misled young men, but as one of them said : "Oh well you can't let any one starve or suffer even if they are Bolsheviks and I sup pose these chaps were. They were very grateful any way and that helps." With a spirit like that, among young people of that type, one can be sure this coun try is pretty sound and fine, at heart. ' R. W. R.

A Cataract for Us All, Copyright King Features Bynd., Ino. This is written in the city of ten called "little old New York." This "little city," which happens to be the big gest in the world, is a good seaside resort. You may find hotel rooms, or entire apart ments, hundreds of feet above the street, with a cool breeze coming directly from the ocean. If romantic, you may imag ine that it comes straight across from Spain, since Ma drid is opposite New York. This city of wealth and pot erty, folly and wisdom, success and misery is more cheerful, in the upper strata than it was a few weeks ago. The stock market has come to life, men and women always find money for gambling, even in a depression. Because stocks have gone up, although divi dends have not returned, .many believe that good times are hurrying back. Some business men of consequence also believe that algns are cheerful. J. H. Rand, of the Remington Rand company, ordering four and a half million worth of raw material In advance, anticipates a manufactur ing Increase of 38 per cent In 1S33. P. A. B. Franklin, United States shipping operator, aaye, a he aalla from London, that world conditions are much better, because confidence has Increased. Re gives that credit to England. That nation, Bays he, "bred confi dence." If the pound, off the gold bast and selling around three dol lara and a half breeds confidence. Imagine what a pound at par value would do. M On August 31, when the moon causes an eclipse of the sun, scien tists will study the event from air ships, up, taking photographlo shad owe of the swiftly moving shadow that the moon will cast upon the earth. A few centurlea ago, the same men would have hidden their face In terror, Imploring their varloua gods not to let the demon devour the sun. From superstitious terror to airplane photography la a long step forward. W. J. Connera prints, In hta Buf falo Courier Express, a picture of Lieutenant Van Rhyne, Holland navy, swimming In the cool, rushing waters of the upper rapids, only three hun dred feet above the brink of the cataract. A crowd looked on, wondering how any man could enjoy himself, under such conditions, death only 300 feet away. Police yelled their orders, but Vsn Rhyne, an entrant In the Olym pic awlmmlng contests, finished his swim, calmly. What ve see Impresses us. what we do not see make little Impres sion.' Show a man one child drown ing, and he will jump in, risking his life. If necessary. Tell him that thous. ands are suffering In the slums, or far away In China, and he will say "that' too bad." We all wonder at a man swimming calmly above Niagara's cataract, while all of us move around In the swift atream of life, with a deeper cataract Just ahead, knowing that we may be swept over any day, never to return, and rarely thinking about It. The New Tork advertising club and American Federation of Labor have a plan for recovery, with seven points. The six-hour dsy and five-day week 1 one of the points, heartily Indorsed, by the federation of labor. Revision of anti-trust laws, to ellm lnate waste, caused by compulsory competition 1 a very sound point. A four billion federal bond Issue, to promote public works and employ ment, Is another point. It Is to be hoped that the government would find a way to finance It works, without paying exorbitant Interest, since It must, most Idiotically, pay Interest for the use of money and credit cre ated by ltaelf.

SOME THINGS WE NEED NOT GET HOT ABOUT The good old summer time would be a great deal better In fond recol lection, If It were not for mad dogs, eunstroke, anake blte. poaon Ivy, cramps, typhoid fe ver, stone bruises, lockjaw, flies, sum mer complaint, hay fever, chlggera, drowning and the reopening of school shortly after La bor Day. Tii n nowadays there Is poliomyelitis by which there are many more parents scared than children hurt. Mix and sift, add a good sprinkling of mosquitoes, wasps, fleas, mites, cooties and other guest that drop In casually, and you have a typical old fashioned summer com plete) with drought and chlckenpox here and there making a noise like smallpox. To you all thla no doubt seems pretty serious. Not so me. I think It la mostly humorous. Qh, no, not poison Ivy that's no Joke, I'll tell the world. Serious? Sarcastic? Sardonic? I was never more so in my life than when I had ivy poisoning. What maddened me at the time was the itching, but what still maddens me la the keen recollection that the modern one-two-shot cure (hypoder mic Injection of Ivy toxin) waa Intro duced when I was about over my bout. Honestly, I still believe, a ma licious fate withheld the announce ment of the new cure until I had endured the very last month of tor ture and my nerves, if I may indulge in that conceit, were all frazzled to tatters. (At that, sometimes I wish I could mention my nerves by way of apology for a nasty disposition). After all there Is satisfaction In the knowledge that most of our sum mer troubles can't happen. Cramps, for Instance, never happen at all, save In the fertile Imagination of the descriptive artist who was not there to see what .happened. If you attempt to swim in extremely cold water, or a too prolonged effort even In warmer water, fatigue will soon rob you of your muscular power and you may become exhausted and help less and seem to succumb to "cramps." Prevent such a tragedy by using common sense about the dura tion of your stay In cold water or the length of swim you attempt. It la common sense to avoid vigor ous exercise of any kind Immedi ately after a hearty meal, but It la not good sense to postpone a swim or other pleasure Just because you have Just had your breakfast or lunch. On the other hand, It Is a good plan to take a little candy or other food laws can do.. Our troubles will not be ended, merely by wiping out pro hibition legislation. Too many have acquired the speak easy-bootleg-home brew-habit. The League of Nations will have a chance to show what It amounts to, in connection with the Manchurlan question. The League said to Japan: "You must not take Manchuria." Ja pan now replies, officially, through her minister of war: "Kindly mind your own business. The Manchurlans themselves, set up their Independent government. We merely recognize that government, aa you have recog- nlzed all sorts of queer European gov- i ernments, and thefts of colonlea, since the big war." - j Japan thinks that If England and ; France can take territories, colonies and billions of dollara from Germany and Austria, Japan haa a right to make desirable' acquisitions, under the guise of self-government In Asia. If thla country had been pushed Into that League, we should probably be told, by Europe, "You are close by. and rich, and did not lose your share of men in the war. So you go over and compel Japan to do aa we say." Every man and every newspaper that ha helped to keep the country out of that League of Nations de serves public thanks. It la bad enough to be swindled out of ten bllltona on loans, as we shall be, by our dear Notice of 8herrTe Mie.

An old legend which spoils a lot of fun for the kids la that one should not go in swimming when all heated up from a long walk, run or game of some kind. This la not so. On the contrary, it Is better to be well warm ed up when you enter the water for a swim. Of course you should not go in when you are all tired out. But so far aa being overheated la concerned, don't let that spoil your fun. Along with thla old legend goes another which carries the threat that you will get "rheumatism" If you swim In cold water. No matter how cold the water may be. If you enjoy a swim, don't let thla old fogy notion spoil your fun. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Alligator Hide I have what doctors call fishskln.
