Three painted ladles of the De

were .found guilty by a Jury late
Tuesday afternoon. The ladles, ap

of life terms, emitted timely screams
and then promptly fainted. The
fainting was a trifle tardy. During
the robbery and slaying of their vic

California like Oregon but on
much lower financial scale, has a
freedom buying scandal, Involving
an Imprisoned murderer. It seems
a citizen became Involved in a
"Black Hand" killing, and was sent
to Folsom prison for life. Six years
ago, It Is alleged, the convict's father,
now dead, paid somebody 7000 for
hla son's release from the peniten
tiary. The mother now requests that
the son be freed or the 97000 re
turned. The son. languishing In his
cell, feels he has waited long enough
for action. It Is all quite embarrass
ing and mysterious. In the Oregon
pardon scandal, the wanton killer
purportedly offered S50.000 In con
tract form for the right' to run
wild and loose again among his fellow-men.
There Is a 943.000 caan
difference In the value of freedom
In the two states. The accused in the
California parole buying assured
the distressed mother her interests
will be protected, and a thorough
Investigation made. The accused did
not know enough to emit demagogic
yells against the "power trust" in
defense of the skullduggery. As the

War or
SEVERAL months ago, a war munitions inquiry was held in
Washington. At that time the iniquities and evils of the
international traffic in arms were stressed. The general im
pression was created that those opposing such traffic were some
how more noble and righteous and peace loving than those who
didn't. A definite movement developed to secure a world wide
ban on international traffic in arms.
In theory there is much to support such action. Such a ban
would deliver a knockout blow against the large munition manu
facturers who not only make huge profits out of war, but who
are constantly engaged in fomenting war,
OUT as is often the case, theory is one thing, practice some-
thing else again. And observing the European situation as
it is today, one clearly perceives there is another side to the
question, and a very serious one.
Take the case of Italy and Ethiopia, for example. Italy has
plenty of war munitions, can manufacture more. Ethiopia has
practically no war munitions, and can manufacture none.
. Small wonder that little Ethiopia appeals to the League of
Nations, to remove the various national embargoes on arms, so
she may defend herself. Otherwise her envoy declares, his coun
try faces annihilation.
"It won't be a war, it will be a massacre."
There is no reason to doubt the truth of this statement. Such
a ban on arms and munitions, instead of halting Italy in her
determination to gobble up Ethiopia, spurs her on. .It makes
every small and non-industrial nation, easy prey for any larger
one.
Thus another peace theory falls, simply because it scratches
at the surface of the disease that causes war instead of striking
at the roots.
THE League of Nations could prevent any war between Italy
and Ethiopia tomorrow, if it merely exercised the powers
which the covenant provides.
An economic boycott on Italy, as the ap&ressor, would brinf?
Mussolini to time, in 24 hours; just as a similar economic boycott
against Japan would have prevented the invasion of Manchuria.
' But the League took no such action against Japan, and there
is no indication it will take any such action against Italy.
In other words, the world or at least the major portion of
it has the machinery to prevent war, but it lacks either the
courage, or the desire, perhnps both, to use it.
Good Work, Doc
WHEN the next election for
nomps nn wn wnnlrl like
Fishbein, editor of the American Medical Journal, and uncom
promising enemy of medical cliarlatans and quacks.
We don't know how many qfcacks the eminent doctor has
exposed, or how many times ho has been sued for libel, but the
count must be in the higher brackets in both cases.
We certainly admire anyone of the doctor's courage, vigi
lance, and dovotion to the public welfare and the highest ideals
of his profession.
THE latest victim of the doctor's sharp shooting is a Holly
wood medic, who conceived the bright idea of getting some
front page publicity and free advertising, by claiming he had
frozen a monkey and brought it to life, and now intends to sub
ject one Stephen SIMkhovitch to
with similar results.
The Hollywood physician has an idea that by freezing a mau
in a enke of ice ho can kill all germs present in the gentleman's
body, without giving his patient anything more serious to worry
about than a slight attack of chilblains.
Upon which Dr. Fishbein rises on his hind legs as usual and
promptly declares this doctor Williard by name fs a fake
puro and simple, and his stunt is nothing more than a vicious
hoax. In the next edition of the doctor's journal, it appears,
a completo expose of the Hollywood charlatan will appear.
WE not only approve of the doctor's purposes but his meth
ods. TJio latter arc always so direct, so unequivocal,
straight to tha point. There is no hemming or hawing, no
pulling of punches the doctor sees something about him that
looks rotten, and he just squares off and smashes it.
Dr. Fishbein being human, no doubt makes mistakes. But
we have followed his eourso for several years and can't recall
one. And in the many libel actions against him, our recollection
is, few if any have been sustained.
But what's a libel suit or two if a man can do the good that
Dr. Fishbein is doing, and has been doing for so many years.
More power to him. Fakirs form one of the major menaces in
this country today and medical fakirs are by far the worst of
the lot.

When Industry generally encounters
this situation, forces will be gener

it was about 94.7 per oent In June

The administration la going to play

THAT EIGHT POU
Among the first things that people
notice after beginning a salt-poor
diet are marked Increase In urinary
excretion for several days and often
a, decided de
crease In the size
of the hands,
feet and ankles.
.... Obese pa
tients ought wil
lingly to adopt
the salt-poor diet
when they know
that up to eight
pounds of their
weight may be
lost by omitting
salt from the
food. My son,
who lived on a salt-poor diet in col
lege last year, found that his weight
Increased four pounds on a Sunday
spent away from his diet. The salt
poor diet, however. Improved his sinus
trouble, thus verifying Ullmsnn's
findings. (C. Ulysses Moore. M. D., P.
A. C. P., of Portland, in Nothwet
Medicine, Dec. 1932.)
Dr. Moore Is a noted child special
ist and an authority on nutrition.
Dr. Egon V. Ullmann published a book
(Mac ml llan) In 1933 on "Diet In Si
nus Infections and '(I reluct to say)
"Colds," tn which he points out that
most people consume more than half
an ounce of salt a day and suggests a
diet for sinus patients which reduces
the salt Intake to little more than a
teaspoonful a day. The body requires
leas than half a teaspoon of salt a
day, which Is obtained from natural
foods.
The simplest way to try a salt-poor
diet Is to reject any dishes or Items
to which salt has been added In cook
ing or preparing and to eschew the
use of salt as a condiment.
Numerous authorities assure us
that an ordinary mixed diet, includ
ing meat, egs, vegetables, f rul ts,
milk, cereals or cereal products sup
plies enough salt. Meat of any kind,
milk or butter or cheese, and eggs
naturally contain plenty of salt. It la
not advisable to attempt a salt-free
diet, except in rare cases under medi
cal care. But e salt-poor diet la per
fectly harmless for any one and may
give considerable improvement in
halth In a variety of troubles.
Items to be excluded from the salt
poor diet: Table salt, salted butter,
smoked meats or fish, ham. bacon,
sausage, sardines, herring, caviar,
etc., spiced cheeses, preserved olives,
salted nuts, salted crackers, salt
sticks, pretzels.
The salt-poor diet should Include
these Items: A quart of mtlk with a
half-pint of fresh cream daily pref

a special hut, hunted, fished and
swam with them. He arrived only
a short while before an annual
thiee-day tribal celebration and was
implored to remain and be inducted
into the ceremonies.
He yielded before he had learned
that much of the ceremony led up
to a religious frenzy that was cli

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Cold Park
I notice you specify factory canned
tomato Juice to get the full benefit
of vitamins. Would cold pack canning
of tomatoes or tomato Juice make the
product equal to factory canned In
vitamins? (H. A. T.)
Answer Only if the can or Jar Is
hermetically sealed before cooking.
In the factory the can Is sealed be
fore heating. This prevents oxidation,
which Is destructive to vitamins,
particularly C, less so to B.
Sugar In Yeast
How much sugar Is there In .......... 's
yeast? (L. R. B.)
Answer Compressed yeast contains
21 carbohydrate (most of which Is
starch, some sugar). I do not know
whether the brand you mention has
sugar added.
Orange Perl
Thank you for mentioning that the
inner portion of orange pee! is some
times beneficial In Intestinal stasis.
It has proved exceedingly so In my
case. I chew thoroly the peel Just
under the outer skin, from three or
four oranges dally, and never require
any other laxative now. (S. A. P.)
Answer Probably that's where the
vitamin B is. It is not necessary to
take so much roughage In order to
get a large daily ration of vitamins.
McCarrlson believes many of the di
gestive disturbances of people who do
not call themselves sick but who take
various remedies for "sour stomach,"
"morning mouth," headache, consti

Comment

Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
BIG world news:
Orders distributed In Rome on
Monday indicate mobilization of an
Italian force of 500,000 men for war
maneuvers In Northern Italy August
34, bringing the total Italian army
to a strength approaching a MILLION
men.
Italy either means business or Is
running a monumental bluff.
(When we say Italy, we really mean
MUSSOLINI, for no one else has
much say asto what Italy will do.
Let's hope the time never comes In
this country when one man speaks
the nation's will).
BIG national news:
Speaker Byrns, of the house of
representatives, predicts that con
gress will finish up its Job and ad
journ by September 1.
That Is big news because nearly
all of us, big and little alike, have
the Idea that we've swallowed about
all the laws we can possibly hope to
digest and are glad to hear that con
gress Is likely to pause soon In the
feeding process.
OTEPHEN SIMKHOVITCH, Holly
wood film writer, agrees to per
mit himself to be frozen to a tem
perature of 30 below zero, kept at
that temperature for an indefinite
experimental period and then re
storedIP POSSIBLE. -
Explaining his reasons for submit
ting to the experiment, he says:
. "I've been everywhere I want to
go, done everything I want to do,
and as for people I'm sick of people."
If he feels that way about It, he
might as well allow himself to be
frozen to death. He's really dead,
anyway, and Just doesn't know It.
DR. RALPH 8. W1LLARD, who will
conduct the experiment if it ts
conducted says he hopes eventually
to show that the "freezing death'
will overcome tuberculosis and even
cancer.
Time will tell whether he Is an
honest experimenter with a new and
revolutionary idea or Just another
publicity hunter.
BURON PITTS, district attorney of
Los Angeles, Issues a statement
to the effect that "Immediate steps
will be taken to prevent such an ex
periment, If It Is attempted." and Dr.
George Parrish, city health officer,
adds that he is sure the law will not
permit Dr. Willard to carry his hu
man guinea pig idea any farther than
the exploitation stage.
Dr. Parrish. you see, realizes that
Los Angeles will permit EXPLOITA
TION of almost anything.
