Editorial Correspondence
EOCKFORD, HI., Aug. 28
Rockford is going to get a $15,'
000,000 federal home loan bank
or thinks it is which will
be qnartered in the Rockford
National bank building. The
latter bank failed last Febru
ary and hag been closed since,
It was the largest and strong
est bank in the city, and its
collapse was a body blow. At
the same time the receiver an
nounced the first dividend of
30 per cent will be paid de
positors within the next 90
days, which will distribute
over a million dollars. As a re
suit the "better feeling" not
ed here a few weeks ago, has
assumed almost a carnival
spirit.
As one business man ex
pressed it: "The change in
local psychology is almost un
believable. It sounds absurd,
but my real fear is not that
the optimism will be short liv
ed, but that it will go too far
and we will be soaring like a
balloon again, and have an
other crack up."
This attitude appears to be
a very general one. Rockford
suffered such a major fin
ancial catastrophe, that fear
of another one, overshadows
the popular rejoicing that the
worst is really over. If this
psychology is typical of the
country at large, then it will
be some time before our in
dustrial machinery is hitting
on high again. The recovery
will be a gradual, rather than
an immediate process. Which
is probably a good thing all
around.
Another million dollar rain
last night, which removes all
doubt that there will be a
bumper crop in this section in
the fall. We had forgotten
how moist the summers in this
part of the Middlewest are a
farmer from Iowa dropped in
a few days ago and reported 6
inches of rain near Des Moines
in two weeks. In Central and
Southern Illinois the rainfall
has also exceeded the rain fall
here. All of which empha
sizes the fact that this de
pression has not been one of
poverty but of plenty the
trouble has been not too little,
but too much.

He was put out in the first
round by that old warrior,
Chick Evans one down and
then Chick proceeded to fall
before Arthur Bartlett from
Ottumwa, Iowa. There is no
doubt that Moe is a better golf
er than Evans, and Evans a
better golfer than Bartlett; but
this has been a tournament of
upsets, and promises so to con

Charley Seaver, the Stanford
star, has the oup in the bag,
ON PAPER.
Seaver hns been shooting
sub-par golf throughout. Yes
terday he tumbled Bartlett 11
and 10, and as one member of
the gallery expressed it, would
have beaten Bobby Jones at his
best. Had he not missed a five
foot putt on the Inst hole, he
would have beaten the course
record. As it was he carded
a 66 for the second time five
under par and chalked up 5
birdies.
As all football fans know,
Seaver is a star half back at
Stanford, and is built on rook
crusher lines an unusual com
bination. Few young men pro
ficient at hitting the line, are
equally proficient at hitting
the golf ball. Usually exces
sive muscular strength is a
handicap instead of an advant
age. But Seaver combines un
usual power, with grace ', punch
with rhythm. Bartlett is no
slouch on the tee, but time
after time, Seaver outdrove
bun 50 ;ard.
ANTI - PACIFIC COAST
FEELING IN THE MIDDLE-
WEST IS AMAZING. In the
experience of the writer it can
only be compared to the anti
Yankee feeling at the Olympic
games in London nearly a
quarter of a century ago. ANY
THING to beat the westerners
is the motto here; ss anything
to beat the Yankees was the
motto there. As a result Seav
er is not going to have the gal
lery with him today, and, if
he wins tomorrow. But that
isn't going to bother the Stan
ford Hercules. He is in there
to win, and one visitor from
the Pacific coast at least is go
ing to be rooting for him
strong.
Mrs. Edith Rockefeller Mc
Cormick died in Chicago yes
terday afternoon, and the Trib-
une devotes nearly a page to
her obituary an amount of
space however which this un-
usual person deserved. Her
career emphasizes the truth of
Shakespeare's philosophy that
all the world's a stage and all
the men and women simply
players. We have our exits and
our entrances, etc., etc. .
Mrs. McCormick was csst in
a royal role, and was true to
that role until the end. Strong
willed, forceful, imperious, she
entered life as the daughter of
the richest man in the world,
she left it as a reigning. Queen,
who breathed her last in an
atmosphere of a mourning
court, so impregnated with
majesty, grandeur and form
ality, that the poignant heart
break and tragedy of her life,
was almost forgotten.
Like Queen Elizabeth and
Catherine the' Great (whose
famous necklace she wore)
Mrs. McCormick was regarded
by the world at large as a
trifle crazy. She wasn't. She
was a mystic, it is true, but
what Were put down as hallu
cinations and ' eccentricities,
were merely the aotions of a
perfectly logical person, of
genuine regal temperament,
who believed she had the right
of doing, at any time or place,
WHATEVER SHE WISHED
TO DO.
She believed in reincarna
tion, regarded herself as the
spiritual legatee of a certain
Egyptian princess, and we are
not so sure she was mistaken.
At any rate she behaved much
more as a descendant of some
Egyptian princess, than as the
child of plain-living and home
loving Mr. and Mrs. John D.
Rockefeller.
In every way an extraordin
ary character! And whatever
her frailties and faults, an
overwhelmingly authentic one.

This country annoys Japan
with criticism unjustified, con

to recognize one of the most
strongly established govern

kind of government they must
not have.
The result may be to force
an alliance of Russia and Japan
against this and other western

Russia have what government

the moon were 80,000,000 miles, In

would be no eclipse; the moon would
not be visible from the earth at a

cast no shadow. In fact, the law of

wftere It would melt and vanish In

IS EYE EXERCISE BENEFICIA L TO THE EYESIGHT OR THE
APPEABANCET
Several reader have told me. all of
them firmly, some of them gently,
tht my opinion, recently given here
In reference to
y exercise, la
wrong. I refer
red to aye exer
cise as "eye
water" and as
serted that the
best exercise for
the eyes 1 look
ing off at distant
scenery, particu
larly forest, field,
hill and valley,
natural scenery.
It la an excellent habit for all who
do much cloee work wltb the eyes
to look up and away from th work
for a few momenta at regular Inter
vals I said look up, and throw the
head back to do so.
An optometrist who call himself
"doctor" but does not reveal by what
right he uses the title, writes to say
he had believed that regarding things
at a distance la reat for the eyes, and
he would thank me to Inform him
what muscles such use of tbe eyes
exercises.
Maybe he would.
Did I say anything about muscles?
Exercise has a broader meaning
than many suppose. One may exer
cise the mind where there Is no ques
tion of any muscular action. One
may exercise or practice relaxation
of muscles, tor steadiness, calm.
poise, etc., aa well aa contraction of
musclea for movement.
An oculist, that Is, a real doctor
of medicine who la an eyea phy
sician, flnda that the bowed posture
in wnicn many persons work, study
or use their eyes l a factor of near
sightedness from actual elongation
of the ahape of the eyeball from pro
longed dependency of the eyes. This'
is the reason why every one who
doee close or fine work with the eyea
should make It a habit to look UP
and away from the work for a few
moments every five or ten minute.
Give a chance for the hanging or
egging, eyeball to flatten out again
w sometning like lta normal spher

Thla observation lend more weight
to the belief of some persons that
gentle massage of the eyea with fin
ger or thumb, through the closed
lids, for a few moment two or three
times a day, relieves fatigue and
strain and helps to maintain good
eyesight. They lmply rest the

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Nose Clip for Swimmer.
In a recent article you mentioned
the wearing of a nose clip to protect
swimmer from the pains they get
from elnus trouble. I have alnua
trouble and suffer every time I enter
the water. Where can I procure auch
a thing? H. T. A.
Answer. No, I suggested the nose
clip to exclude water from the nose.
Make your own clip of spring wire,
or have your Jeweler or optician make
one for you, something on the order
of a clothespin. I do not know
whether such clips are available
ready-made.
Heart Failure.
If a person has had heart failure
and It takes 10 minutes to bring a
doctor, can anything be done to bring
the person back to life? Would prone
pressure respiration do any good.
Mrs. K.
Answer Prone pressure respiration
would be better than doing nothing,
in any oase where the victim ha ap
parently ceased to breathe. In such
an emergency bystanders cannot be
certain the person Is dead, and so It
I well to continue the artificial res
piration at least until the physician
arrives. . -

IN BATESAFFAIR
(Continued from Page One)
Last winter, Bates went to Wash
ington atate. after women relatives,
his then attorney, Frank De Souza,
the district attorney's office and Jus
tice of the Peace H. D. Reed had ar
ranged for It. Later, the allegation
was hurled that Bates had been "ban
ished." and the district attorney's
office waa sensationally attacked.
After the Indictment waa returned,
Batea came back and the current tur
moil over him ensued. The district
attorney's office waa endeavoring to
safeguard itself against any more
"banishment" charges, when the pres
ent angle developed.
District Attorney Codding, Deputy
Nellson and Attorney M. O. Wllkins
held a ahort conference thl morn
ing on the Bates stipulation.
According to District Attorney Cod
ding, Attorney Wllkins stated that
"he did not understand the stipu
lation waa not to be filed" until the
district attorney had a chance to
Inspect and study It.
District Attorney Codding did not
know Saturday evening that the
stipulation had been filed, and state
ments published Sunday morning In
The Mall Tribune were made by the
district attorney, while he believed
the stipulation was unfiled. '
Attorney Wllkins also gave a a
reason for filing the stipulation that
The Mall Tribune had published a
report by the county clerk -that the
petit Jury would be called Septem
ber 19. and that the Bates case would
probably be tried.
