The leading legal question of the
week, center, about a writ of outtus
gettus.
That EJdie Cantor Prize
1 1 -jIERE has been a great deal of sentimental nonsense, writ-
ten about that Missouri farm boy, who won Eddie Cantor's
5000 peace prize, by handing in a professor's essay on the sub
ject as his own.
The Oregonian, for example, cries into its beer over his
"pitiable plight" and the "unintentional cruelty" that would
place callow adolescence in such a position.
Not a word of warning or censure for the young man. The
Oregonian places all the blame upon those who instituted such
a competition, and suggests a law "to regulate and superivse
the rash benevolence of such impulsive friends of humanity as
Eddie Cantor" while "someone owes that mistaken and wan
dering Missouri boy an apology."
IT would be difficult to conceive of & more glaring example
of twisted thinking and sentimental hooey. No one owes
that Missouri farm boy ANYTHING, but a thorough dressing
down and a stiff lecture on the difference between right and
wrong! He is no babe in arms. He is a high school boy, 18
years of age, presumably mentally, morally and physically
equipped for college.
It is shocking, we admit, and in a certain sense pathetic,
that any American boy of that age and education, should have
done what Lloyd Lewis did. It is even more shocking, that
neither before nor after the event, did he himself, have any
sense of wrong doing, or consciousness of guilt.
But what he or any boy like him needs is not tearful
coddling and back slapping, the taking of his part against a
cruel and misguided world; but a moral awakening, and the
best moral training that can bo secured, for unless this is done,
then this young mini's future looks very dark indeed.
THERE are far too many young men of high school age in
this country, who like young Lewis, are morally sub
normal; who have never learned the difference between right
and wrong, who like him could not only steal the idea, but
steal the work of someone else, receive the reward for what
they had never done, and not suffer the slightest pangs of con
science. Criminologists will tell you the underworld is full
of them, a large proportion of our big city gangsters are lads
in their teens. They are classified not as immoral but UN-moral.
And many of them started, as this Missouri farm boy started,
by cheating in school. Such a little thing! Yes such a little
thing. But big things grow from lutlo ones. And if it is not
wrong to steal another person's 'work, and use it as your own,
why is stealing his watch,' his pocketbook, or any other private
property wrong. And from there WHERE do you go!
a0 the social problem is too acute, the proper moral develop-
' mcnt of the young WHEN they are young is too impor
tant, to treat this denouement of the Cantor peace prize contest,
as just a good joke on him and other misguided humanitarians,
and an occasion for making an appealing martyr of tho young
man, who turned their efforts into such a humiliating fiasco.
Eddie Cantor is of course an enthusiastic idealist. Like
many of his race he is extremely sentimental. It may be true
his heart is bigger than his head.
But those who listened to hiin over the radio on his peace
prizo proposal know how sincere ho was, how anxious not only
to servo the cause of pence but give some boy who could not
have it otherwise, tho benefit of a college education.
And to think that his efforts were rewarded in THIS fashion !
WE believe wo have at least a normal understanding and
affection for youth, we certainly appreciate boys will
be boys, but boys being boys is one thing, hoys being crooked,
is something else again. And in this instance our sympathies
are certainly NOT for the boy who won this prizo by passing
off the work of another as his own, but entirely for Eddie
Cantor. Instead of Eddie doing the apologizing, that farm boy
from Missouri should crawl on his knees and beg the forgiveness
of a fine citizen and a gallant old trouper, who was anxious to
befriend him, and whom he double-crossed and betrayed.
The mistako Eddie made, we believe, was not in treating the
lad with kindness, publicly condemning or humiliating him
would do no good, but refusing to talk to hiin as he would to
his own son who had done such a thing (Eddie has only a flock
of daughters) and yielding to a mistaken impulse and offering
him a collego education.
A high school boy of 18, who could enter such a contest as
this one, copy word for word a professor's essay and. not only
iibmit it for his own but. receive the $.000 prize for it, witliout
ho slightest. fua!m, or consciousness of having done anything
wrong does not need a college education.
He needs to go back to the Hoy Scouts and get a little of
the priinnrv education, in honor and squaro-shooting, that that
xeellent organization gives. And as a supplement to that his
parents might bo wise to give him an extra curricuiar course
in tho woodshed, down on that old Missouri farm I

BUMPER CROP OF RAGWEED POLLEN
xrs
According to botanist Oren O. Dur
ham, who recently published an In
teresting and Instructive book en
titled "Your Hay Fever" (Bobbs-Mer-rlll
Co. New York)
there are no less
than nine varie
ties of ragweed
In these United
States, producing
at least & million
tons of pollen
annually. August
and September
are the peak
months for rag
weed pollen pro
duction; tests of
the air In that
season show that
more than 98 percenv of the pollen
In the air In such cities aa Pitts
burgh, Buffalo, Cleveland, Indian
apolis, Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee la
from ragweed. In the height of the
hay fever season pollen counts Indi
cate, there Is 826 pounds of ragweed
pollen to the square mile In Indian
apolis, S68 pounds In Buffalo, 401
pounds In Chicago, 16 pounds In
Tower, Minnesota but the place Is
small and can't accommodate a great
Influx of visitors, remember 29
pounds In Mobile, 0 pounds In Phoe
nix, 6 pounds In Los Angeles, 2
pounds In Sacramento, and none at
all In Portland, Seattle, Spokane,
Prince Albert Miami, Reno. Duluth,
where many sufferers find relief every
autumn, doesn t stand out In Mr.
Durham's table 153 pounds of pol
len to the mile. Other hay fever re
sorts were evidently on good behavior
when the pollen tests of the air were
made: Denver, 98 pounds; Boise, 17
pounds; Bar Harbor, 27 pounds; Up
per Dam (Rangeley Lakes), 8 pounds;
Isle Royal, 8 pounds; Sault Ste. Marie,
44 pounds; Blloxl. 28 pounds; Bethle
hem (N. H.), 16 pounds; North Platte,
44 pounds; Atlantic City, 108 pounds;
Roswell, 22 pounds; Lake Placid, 26
pounds; Saranac Lake, 22 pounds; El
Paso, 7 pounds; Amarlllo, 0 pounds;
Cochrane, Ont., 7 pounds; Father
Point, Que., 6 pounds; Port Arthur.
20 pounds; Winnipeg, 24 pounds;
Tamplco, 18 pounds; Mexico City, 2
pounds.
My notion of dull reading la almost
anything about hay fever and Its
causes. But then, I haven't hay fever.
This book of Mr. Durham's makes
mighty good reading, and If It were
not for the bla-bla "Introduction" and
the equally superfluous chapter on
treatment contributions by medical
gentlemen who lovo the sound of their
own voices the book would make a
welcome addition to one's library.
People who entertain quaint fancies
that they have "rose cold" or rose
fever, or that they are sensitive to
goldenrod, or lilac, or even jonquil or
Iris, will learn Borne thing to their
own advantage or their friends' by
reading Mr. Durham's book. Phy
sicians who treat or advise hay fever
patients about resorts will get the
right bearings here.
It Is generally agreed that destroy
ing or cutting pollen-bearing weeds.
such as ragweed, within a few hun
dred feet of one's residence Is a use
ful prophylactic measure. But rag
weed pollen la carried chiefly In the
air, and probably for great distances,
and as Mr. Durham points out, It has
not been demonstrated that It is pos
sible to lower the amount of pollen
In the air as measured at U. S. wea
ther stations, even by the most thor
ough weed-cutting campaign as yet
Instituted.
With pollen slides we may test the
air and with pollen extracts we may
test the patient. By these two tests
we may determine definitely the cause
of the trouble.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Prenatal Influence.
Haa the extraction of a tooth any
111 effect on the unborn child? What
are the symptoms and causes of pre
mature birth? (seven months).
(Mrs. R. J. E.)
Answer No, the extraction of teeth
can have no 111 effect. Send stamped
envelope bearing your address, for
monograph for the prospective moth
er. This being a health. column, we
cannot suggest symptoms.
Raw Eggs.
Please tell me If raw eggs are bene
ficial to a person In a rundown con
dition.. If they are, how many should
be taken a day? . . . (B. C. H.)
Answer Not unless you prefer them
raw. Cooked egg, cooked as you pre
fer, la more palatable, appetizing, di
gestible and healthful than raw egg.
The popular notion of the value of
raw egg Is probably bated on the ob
servation that physicians prescribed
raw egg sometimes when patients
were too feeble to eat cooked food.
A kind of ferment in raw egg albu
men prevents complete digestion of I
the white. Cooking destroys this fer
ment and makes the egg more com
pletely digestible.
In Practice or In Print.
Every time I have written you I
have received some printed circular.
Are you a doctor or a circulating
agency? If you cannot answer a per
son's question, at least return them
their three-cent stamp. What Is a
spur on the septum? A deviated sep
tum? A. submucous resection opera
tion? . . . (B. F.)
Answer It would be a physical im
possibility for me to write a personal
letter In reply to everyone. Most
correspondents not only accept print
ed answers to their questions but ask
for them. A spur on the septum ts
a projection of cartilage or bone from
the partition between nasal passages.
Deviated septum means the partition
bulges to one side or. the other, nar
rowing or obstructing the nasal pass
age. Submucous resection means re
moving part of the bone or cartilage
underneath the mucous membrane.
for the purpose of straightening the
septum.

It la gradual, going through all the

and In a couple of dozen more miles
oak leaves are plainly In sight. At
Redding, the trees are In fairly full
leaf, and the fruit blossoma are far
gone and beginning, to fall. Roses

IT'S A great country, this lovely Pa-
I Clfic Coast Of ours, and at anv
time, somewhere along It, one can
find about anything a human being
might want. All kinds of people,
with all kinds of tastes, can find
their hearts' desire here.
THE Los Angeles border legion, aa
of course you've noted In the pa
pers, has been called home.
There's a reason.
The reason Is that the bums, who
all winter have been moving Into
California, are now beginning to
move OUT of California. There's
nothing muchln the way of stopping
for the border legion to do, and Its
members have probably tired of
standing beside the road and waving
the bums on their way and wishing
them Godspeed.
CALIFORNIA, which pioneered the
no-limit traffic law, has given
It up and gone back to the 46-mlle
speed limit, and there are disturbing
rumora that it Is being enforced.
A tale Is going up and down the
highway to the effect that a couple
coming up from the south the other
night In something of a hurry waa
stopped at the clammy and gruesome
hour of 3 a. m. and the not very
wild speed of 47 miles per hour and
Informed heartlessly that they'd have

It may be only one of those talea,
but at least it la being repeated. And
California cops are beginning to alt
beside the road and look at people
going past In a chilling way that
sends shivers chasing each other up
and down the spine.
WELL, they've hadaccldents enough
down here, the Lord knows, and
we've had accidents enough up In
Oregon, where we have the no-llmlt
law. And excessive apeed undoubt
edly contributes to the accident to
tals. But, with all their 45-mlle llmlta
and all their chilling glances from
the traffic cops, three California

miles, pulled out from behind other
cars and PASSED them thla morn
ing In the face of thla correspond

first ten ranking thla year. While
many other young ladles are minc
ing lettuce sandwiches and toying
with a lamb chop and tea to shave
down their weight, Evangeline alts
down to enjoy meals of:
Steak with potatoes, spaghetti,
grits with plenty bf butter and that
sort of thing.
Last year she sallied forth to the
east for half a dozen "big time"
tournaments and critics raved over
her possibilities but lamented: "If
she were only h' vler and had the
stamina that necessary weight gives
the tennis player."
But at that her splendid show
ing won her the name, "The Slight
Southerner." Thla year things will
be different, the girl .tennla luminary
says, and she points to her pound
bulldlng training program as the
reason.
"I've gained 16 pounds already
since last summer," she declared with
a note of satisfaction.
Last year Evangeline went to the
quarter-finals In the Southern, lost
a match critics said she should have
won, then made her assault on the
eastern matches, and climaxed the
season by competing in the national
at Forest Hills.
Twice In eastern tournaments ahe
lost to brsliant Mrs. Ethel Buark
haiiit AniolJ, the young lady who
turned pro after staging an amazing
comeback In which she won tne de
elding match to take the Wlghtman
cup for America.
