Yesterday’s papers were full of stories of
the kidnaping of the Lindbergh baby. There
Is perhaps no story that will arouse excite-
ment like the disappearance of a little child.
We know something of that here in Hender-
fon. The speculation of just where the lost
child is, how come it lost and all the thous-
andands of thoughts that rush through the
minds of people are nerve racking. Then for
the parents of the lost child the agony is in-
tense. The kidnaping of the Lindbergh baby
is of no more consequence than that of any
other child to us. We dislike to hear of any
baby being gone from its parents and home,
and while we realize that anything pertain-
ing to the Lindbergh family is big news, this
kidnaping incident is of no more consequence
to us than if it were any other child. We hope
that this baby is returned to its home safe,
and that the perpetrators of the crime are
brought to justice.
article says, “We can always find something
wrong in every case, but the question is, does
the particular abnormality in this case ac-
count for the patient’s trouble?”
The movies used to be blamed for these
eyestrain headaches. But careful studies
have shown that “the flicker of the silver
sheet” seems to cause less effort than read-
ing. and only when some other factor is pres-
ent does it cause headache.

WASHINGTON, D. C. — Ex-Senator
Joseph I. France of Maryland, as a candidate
for the Republican presidential nomination,
in opposition to Mr. Hoover, at least is enti-
tled to the tribute of recognition that he is
no quitter.
Proclaiming his aspirations about six
months ago, he evidently is going through
with the fight to the bitter end, as resolute-
ly as if he were a real possibility—which is
more than can be said for some two or three
notabilities who might have been sure-
enough possibilities if they had been willing
to exert themselves as he has.
It is costing him a snug amount of mon-
ey, too—up to $100,000 thus far, at the most
moderate estimate. If lucky, he may get a
dozen or so of votes for It, on the first bal-
lot at the G. O. P.’s Chicago convention.
As a matter of fact, a few strong anti-
Hoover Republicans did give Dr. France’s bid
a genuine once over when he first submitted
it, but they, turned thumbs down on it with-
out very long consideration.
Personally I would have thought it
worth taking a chance on. The doctor seems
a good liberal. He was big enough to break
into the United States Senate for a term, es-
tablished a record as an anti-League of Na-
tions irreconcilable and has excellent nerve,
a large bank roll and a presence which is both
engaging and impressive. Nevertheless, he
misses ringing the bell, for one reason or an-
other.
The Marylander undoubtedly was aware
that the odds were enormously against him,
but I imagine he failed to realize that they
Virtually were 100 per cent adverse.
He does now, for he has proposed a con-
stitutional amendment by each state, provid-
ing “direct presidential primaries, at which
the voters shall signify their choice among
candidates,” and that “delegates sent to the
party convention by this election shall vote
for a rule declaring that the man receiving
the greatest number of votes in the conven-
tion shall be nominated for the presidency.”
“Thus,” argues Dr. France, “the power
of the federal machine to re-nominate a pres-
ident or determine his successor will be de-
stroyed, and presidents and vice presidents
will become accountable to the people, rather
than to a handful of large campaign contri-
butors and political manipulators.”
This suggestion Senator Frederick Stei-
wer of Oregon read into the Congressional
Record the other day, commending it to “the
attention of citizens everywhere in America.”
In the meantime, unless Mayor Jacob S.
Coxey of Massillon, 0., be counted, the Mary-
land ex-senator is the only candidate with
the grit and the financial resources to buck
the renomination system.
Senator Hiram W. Johnson of Califor-
nia hasi the courage but certainly not the
money.
Senator William E. Borah of Idaho, if
anything, is a poorer man than Senator John-
son, and has, besides, the reputation Of pos-
sessing a well-developed bump of caution.
Governor Gifford Pinchot of Pennsylva-
nia is rich, a fighter, and has, indeed, more
than hinted at an inclination to enter the
lists, but with depressingly few signs of en-
thusiasm from ahy large part of the elector-
ate. True, ex-Senator France was not dis-
couraged even by the public’s coolness, but
the Pennsylvanian is hardly to be blamed for
not caring to throw hard cash away merely
because the Marylander is doing so.
Of serious, if any, competition for Mr.
Hoover in Chicago next June, there is, then,
no prospect whatever.

Whatever can be said against Al Capone,
it must be said that he is an adept publicity
agent. He has offered a reward of $10,000
for the return of the Lindbergh baby. If this
isn't a good piece of favorable publicity for
the Federal prisoner Capone, then what is it.
Al says he cou'.d help find the baby if he were
out of prison. Most probably Al would know
more of the places to search than the aver-
age searcher, he’s been there more times, but
it is also very doubtful if he will be released
to help in the search for the child/ The at-
torneys for Capone have said that he was
without funds . .. that doesn’t tally very well
with this offer of $10,000 as a reward for
the return of the baby. Somehow some peo-
ple have a way of juggling figures ... if We
remember correctly that’s what got Al in
dutch this time.

I never have seen a true case of migraine
cured by glasses.
There are a great many people with un-
stable nervous systems who ascribe their
headaches to eyestrain. In these people the
headache is due to the neurosis and not to
the use of the eyes. I was glad to see a re-
cent article in a medical journal, called “Ocu-
lar Neuroses, An Important Cause of So-
Called Eyestrain.”
For instance, a teacher working for a
Ph. D. degree said that he had strained his
eyes reading a difficult text and had not been
able to use them for some time. Had con-
stant headaches. He became much depressed
and tried to save his eyes as much as possi-
ble. He ly)d seen many oculists and had
many prescriptions for glasses. Examina-
tion showed a moderate astigmatism for
which the patient was wearing the correct
glasses. There was no muscular anomaly.
There was no true disease of the eye.
The patient was told that he was suffer-
ing from neurosis. That he was not going
blind, and that his work was not damaging
his qyes. That he should go on with his
work and he would gradually get better. He
said, “Why has no one ever explained this to
me before? If I know that I am not damag-
ing my eyes I can stand any amount of pain
and discomfort.”
Under tin encouragement
aches and eyestrain left him.

[Who’s Who in Washington]
| BY CHARLES P. STEWART |
Winston Churchill, who has been nearly everything
except prime minister in one British cabinet or another
(regardless of party, for he has been affiliated with all of
them at various times), was subdued during his recent
stay in Washington.
Throughout his entire career he has been the stren-
uous type of public character—something like the late
Colonel Roosevelt, or as much like him as it is possible,
for a Briton to be. For that matter, his mother was
American.
However, the taxicab which bumped Churchill in New
York shortly after he landed from abroad evidently
knocked a great deal of the energy at least temporarily
out of the overseas visitor. He seemed satisfied to sit in
the English embassy most of his time in the capitol, drink
ing an occasional Scotch soda—perfectly legal, diplomatic
stuff of course. A decade ago, when he was Washing-
ton’s guest, he “did” every point of interest from the navy
yards to the bureau of standards.
He is not as young as he was, either.
He has a bald spot. Embonpoint creeps on him apace—to the tune of about 14 stone, at
the most moderate calculation. That is to say, as we reckon in America, he must weigh in
the neighborhood of 200, and he isn’t very tall; it follows that he’s pretty rotund.
His American mother, to the contrary notwithstanding, the Honorable Winston is one
of the most English Englishmen Washington has seen—well, since he visited here last.
He didn’t mention war debt cancellation for publication, but that isn’t to say he’s ad-
verse to the idea.
Who knows just what the oil status in
East Texas is anyway? An injunction was
granted by a Federal Court restraining the
Governor from policing the field with the
troops. A plea for stay of execution of the
injunction order has been denied by a Su-
preme Court Justice of the United States.
Yet the troops remain in the field and are
operating just as they have been . . . Just
who has charge of the East Texas oil field
anyway? That question i* being asked hun-
dreds of time each day but the answer yet is
not forthcoming.

What has become of the request by the
President for authority to revamp the Ex-
ecutive Department of the Federal Govern-
ment? It was claimed by the President that
much money could be saved the government
if his request were granted by Congress, but
somehow he failed to convince very many
that his recommendations were actually sav-
ings. Some bureaus were on the program for

Nearly the first thing any physician
thinks of when a patient complains of chronic
headaches is eyestrain.
The typical eyestrain headache is likely
to be an evening headache. In the morning,
after a night of resting the eyes, the patient
feels fresh and the head clear, Then, as the
day goes on, with attention to close detail,
the eyes making a thousand movements and
adjustments, the bombardment of the senso-
rium results in a protest of pain, and by ev-
ening the head is throbbing, the eyes dull and
bleary.
Several years ago Dr. Gould, a promi-
nent oculist of his day, published a series of
books called “Biographical Clinics.” These
took up the ill health of prominent people,
such as Carlyle and Huxley, and sought to
show that in all cases their complaints were
caused by eyest^hfh. But the theory is not
entirely convincing. It is more probable, for
K
That advertising through the printed
page gets results. It quickly catches the eye,
making an instantaneous appeal.
Manufacturers who link their
with advertising produce greater business.
Advertising and quality are inter-de-
pendent. Profits will not come without the
aid of both.
Quick turnover is possible only for
those products that have been tested,
a well known fact that well advertised
ducts have met the most severe tests.
People want the best. They know they
are getting the best w'hen they buy well ad-
vertised products. Non-advertised goods are
as variable as the winds.
Successful manufacturers make quality
products with a view to the future. That is
why they are successful. They tell the facts
about their products in a comprehensible
way through the printed page.
In these modern days the jobber, manu-
facturer and retailer are in the public service.
Only those who serve the best survive.
One of the first principles of a success-
ful busines is a sincere desire to be of service
to the public whose trade they seek.
Advertising is a service that really
serves.

By II. A. PETERRS
. United Press Staff Correspondent
BERLIN, (UP)—News readers here have
become accustomed to freqent accounts
of suicides in these days of money and job
shortages, but few would have estimated the
totals so high as the recent figure issued by
the city statistical bureau, which announced
that 15,919 inhabitants took their own lives
during the last ten years, or an average of
more than four per day.
The comparatively good and bad years
of this period can be traced distinctly from
the figures. While in 1921 suicides averag-
ed 3.48 per 10,000 population, it increased
gradually in the next years until in 1926 it
reached 4.33 per 10,000. In the next two
years it decreased slightly, but began rising
•again in 1929 and by 1930 had reached 4.22
per 1,000. Deaths in 1929 averaged only
there were 942 suicides, which compared to
the total of 1,831 for the entire year 1930,
would indicate an increase.
Silicides have increased among older peo-
pie in the last few years. There were 66
more cases among persons between GO and
70 years in 1930 than in 1929, and 34 more
cases over 70.
At the same time, Germany’s birth-
rate shows a decided decrease, although the
death rate has been significantly reduced
and the average span of life increased. In
1900, for example, there were 36 births to
each 1,000 population, in 1913 only 27 while
by 1929 the figure had been cut in half—18
per 1,000. Daeths in 1929 averaged only
12.6 per 1,000. It is interesting to note that
total births today, with a population of 63,-
000,000 are not so high as 90 years ago when
Germany numbered only 33,000,000. The fig-
ures are 1,116,000 and 1,250,000 yearly.
Compared to her neighbors, if Ger-
many’s birth-rate is taken as 100, then Eng-
land is the only nation which does not ex-
ceed her. The figures with such an index
would be: Switzerland, 101; Sweden, 102;
Belgium, 108; France 112; Netherlands,
149; Italy, 153; Spain, 161; Bulgaria, 207 and
Poland, 176.
In Berlin, births have declined especial-
ly among the laboring classes. Rural birth-
rate still is 25 per cent above that necessary
for maintaining the level of population, but
in the cities it is 42 per cent below, in Ber-
lin 57 per cent.
