Why baldness should be regarded
as a Joke It Is difficult to sec. No
body covets hnldness. Under no cir
cumstances could baldness be con
sidered desirable. If bald-headed men
are loved It Is In apote of. not be
cause of, their baldness. There are
few persons with a tendency toward
baldness who do not make every pos
sible effort to save their hsir. This
Is so well known thnt, oddly enough,
people In the first stages of baldness
go to bald-headed men for sdvlce as
to what to do.
Well-bred persons would, under no
circumstances, remark to a mnn thnt
hs sppesrs to be aging, that he Is
losing his looks, that his teeth are
going, that his face Is wrinkled, thst
his shoulders are stooped or thst he
walks with a limp. Vet these same
well-bred persons do not hesitate to
hold up a bald-headed man to de
rision. Even the poor man who
tempts to conceal his bsld spot by
bnishlitg the few remaining locks
over It Is subjected to every aunuety
of snoopery snd detection, and the
discovery of h it subterfuge Is r.slieo
with shouts of Joy (Exchange.)

Good Work, John!
IF war is prevented in Ethiopia, and there is still hope,
Great Britain can take the credit.
The single-handed fight being made by John Bull, to save
world peace and also the League of Nations, deserves far more
attention, and praise than it is receiving.
The speech made by Sir Samuel Hoare, British foreign secre
tary, at Geneva last evening, marked the crossing of the Rubicon,
as far as Britain's European policy is concerned.
T was an ultimatum both to
no side-stepping, no weazel-wording. If Italy persists in her
invasion of Ethiopia, if the League refuses to take such drastic
action, as this violation of the covenant DEMANDS then the
"main bridge" binding England to the continent collapses, and
Great Britain is through.
In other words, England is bringing every force at her com
mand, to bear upon the League of Nations, to halt Mussol'ni

in its entirety and particularly for steady, .collective resistance
to "all acts of unprovoked aggression."
Meanwhile Germany is standing aloof, while she shakes
hands with Mussolini behind the scenes. France as usual, is
trying to play both ends against the middle, refusing to offend
Italy on one hand, clinging desperately to the entente cordiale
with England on the other. Soviet Russia is not actively par
ticipating, but like a vulture is Boaring serenely aloft, waiting
for the carnage to begin. The United States of course, is out
of it entirely.

It is not an exaggeration to

his stand. The next move is up to Mussolini.
If the Italian dictator persists in his militaristic designs upon
Ethiopia, regardless of this ultimatum from London, then one
of two things must happen:
The League will back up Great Britain, as it legally and
morally SHOULD, and sanctions
which means that the members
support Ethiopia in the ensuing
The League will refuse to support Great Britain, will take
no positive action one way or the other, which will mean, the
end of the League, and the retirement of England to its tight

nearly half a century ago. Meanwhile Italian imperialism will

In any type of anemia or weak
blood the assimilation or the power
to digest and utilize food is of course
an Important fac
tor In treatment.
Likewise the state

tient's ability to

which may be ad

tial elements present In certain nat
ural foods.
In everyday anemia or weakness of
blood secondary to various conditions
we haven't time to review now. there
la generally no serious Impairment of
the power to assimilate the natural
Iron In food provided the patient
receives natural food which contains
Iron and therefore there Is little to
be gained by taking iron medinally.
If neither lack of sufficient food iron
nor faulty assimilation Is operating
it is futile to try to cure the anemia
with Iron, The sensible course is
rather to find out what is causing
the anemia, whether It be occult
bleeding, chronic drug or chemical
poisoning, incipient tuberculosis or
some silent or slightly troublesome
septic focus, and direct the treatment
toward removing the cause.
Speaking of anemia or weak blood,
it may be well to clarify one or two
popular misconceptions. The blood
doesn't "turn to water" even In the
severest degree of anemia: it merely
contains less of the red coloring mat
ter (hemoglobin) or a diminished
number of red corpuscles or both.
Blood is always red. never blue. Only
the expert eye can detect the differ
ence in the normal red of healthy
blood. In anemia there is not less
quantity of blood in the body than
In health, so the anemic individual
needs not more blood but strengthen
ing of the blood in hemoglobin or in
corpusclar richness or both.
Hemoglobin Is the pigment in the
red blood corpuscles. In the lungs or
gills it combines loosely with oxygen,
which It carries to the cells of the
body, picking up carbon dioxide from
the cells or tissues to carry back to
the lungs. Hemoglobin is a proteld
substance containing Iron. It consti
tutes 14 per cent of the weight of
healthy blood. The amount of Iron
In it Is one part of 300. Hemoglobin
may combine not only with oxygen
and carbon dioxide (carbonic acid
gas) but also, with carbon monoxide
(laughing gas). It haa a greater af

j The politico! destiny of America
j was held in the hsnd of Huey Pierce
I Long, the most outstanding defondfr
of the common people ever sent from
! the south to the United Slates sr,ate.
In clarion tones he commanded
; both of the old parties to cea far-
ther exploitation of the American
people, to nominate worthy public
i servants or he would seek Ihe leader
j ship himself. HSs sole desire was tc
cleanse the entire naticn of coiTun-
tton. even as he has done for his
own state.
From the time he first entered the
United States sens., he champion!
the cause of our veterans and work
ed tirelessly for the payment of the
bonus.
j His "share the wealth" clubs
j throughout the nation, and especially
the south and Mississippi VAlle; re
j gions, included millions of loyal'stip
j porters, ?wt only among the common
I people, but also among tho. of the
j privileged c!as who see the wivlom
J of sharing the wealth with all classes
i tn our beloved country,
j Not stn.-e the days of Robert M
j LftFoIlette i"Ftghtlr Bob"i and th
. rf commoner, WUi'.am J engines
Bryan, has there been r bold
ciiJii?ion of nameless uuUioos
who form the warp and woof of our
new world civilization: those whose
welfare must be considered if our
cherished institutions of democracy
are to survive,.
Senator Long, early In Qia public
career, discovered that ' the greatest
danger to all nations, including
America, is the group of world finan
ciers; those who direct each movo of
international intrigue; those men
without a country whose objective Is
power through the control of gold.
These individuals are not interest
ed in sharing the wealth to as to
create a general prosperity wherein
"every man will be a king."
During Senator Long's first terra in
the senate, the editor of the Medford
Daily News urged his readers to watch
the career of the young senator from
Louisiana, that a great future stretch
ed before him.
Years ago, Senator Lorv told a
publisher friend of mine in the south,
'hat he Intended to make this su
preme effort In behalf of the Amer
ican people and American ideals; that
he might experience imprisonment,
sudden death, or both. Yc-t. know
ing, he accepted the challenge.
As a result of his effort, no Amer
ican in public life today was at once
so bitterly hated end so deeply loved
Huey P. Long has held for months
the center-front of the political
fctage. . ,
At this moment his life hangs in
the balance the hand of the assassin
has struck! The press and the radio
that have so continuously derldsd
and belittled him, are hushed for the
moment In the presence of death,
while millions offer voiceless prayer
that the life of this patriot be spared
to his country.
Last night there was still hope of
his living, but this morning of Sep
tember 10th word comes of his death.
The valiant, generous spirit of Huey
Pierce Long becomes a standard a
tradition. Will America awake to the
full significance of this tragic and
portentous event?

Generally speaking, it ia good advice

to recognize merit wherever it ap

excess in the case of Dictator Huey

the most significant Incidents in
American politics.
HERE is another proverb that is
worthy of consideration in con
nection with this tragic and striking
event.
"Those who live by the sword shall
perish by the sword."
Huey Long, who crushed American
traditions under his heel and set up
a one-man dictatorship in the state
of Louisiana, swaggered about the
country under the protection of an
armed bodyguard, after the manner
of the big shots of gangdom.
It ts not surprising, therefore, that
he came to his end by violence, after
the manner of the chiefs of gangdom.
He who INVITES violence is apt to
receive It,
-
ABOUT the best comment of the
whole sad and disturbing affair
comes from England, where the Lon
don News-Chronicle says:
Political murder is always to be
condemned. But so is the abuse of
democratic methods to suppress lib
erty and establish a dictatorship of
one man."
That spells the story pretty well.
HERE is the real tragedy of Huey
Long's life and his death:
He possessed unusual gifts. For ex
ample, he completed a three years'
law course in seven months, and suc
cessfully passed his bar examinations.
That indicates a bright mind. He was
able and WLLING to work hard. He
possessed the shewd wit and the per
sonal magnetism that are essential to
leadership.
Possessing these brilliant gifts, he
chose DEMOGOGISM instead of con
structive leadership elected deliber
ately to feed people's minds with
claptrap instead of wholesome truth.
His appeal was to the baser passions
and not to intelligence.
What a pity what a TERRIBLE
Pity!

Ye Poet's Comei
FRANKM.N D. UOOSEVELT
Helmsman on a' stormy ocaen.
Battling wind and wave, he goes;
'Midst the waters' wild commotton
Harried by each peevish notion
Of the peevish gale that blows.
Angry billows tower above him.
Loud the raging tempest roars:
Prom his course they strive to shova
him.
Vet their fierceness falls to mova
him:
All their bluster he ignores.
For established deep within him
Dwells a Faith that will not down;
Fear Is powerless to win him.
Violence may not chagrin him.
Nor can dire misfortune's frown.
On his way he steers, contesting
Might of wave and strength o'
squall.
On. Indomitably breasting
Every hostile force molesting
Overcoming each and all.
And though tempests terrifying
Have his sturdy bark harassed,
Yet his Faith, supreme, undying,
Ever cheers him. prophesying.
He will resch his port at last.
