Explorations Into the Unknown
A University of California professor using an electro-
magnetic gun has broken down an atom of lithium; and
while most of us couldn’t begin to understand this experi-
ment even if someone drew a diagram of it for us. science
hails it as a great achievement and it may ultimately
have a very profound influence on what our grandchildren
think and feel and believe.
For what this California physicist is trying to do is
to discover the composition of matter—that unspeakably
deep mystery which these days seems to float almost
within reach of the microscopes the test tubes and the
complicated paraphernalia of the physical laboratory.
And if by chance he should succeed the philosophers and
the theologians wrill have material enough to set them
theorizing for a century.
Each new bit of genuine knowledge about the way
the world is made modifies mankinds conception of its
own place in the world and its own destiny. The border-
land of the unknown has been retreating ever since the
stone age and as it withdraws men’s ideas about what
they are and where they came from and w?hat they are
supposed to be doing here have broadened and developed.
But this development lately hasn’t been altogether
good for us. It has led in many quarters to pessimism
and materialism; forces w-hich have seeped down per-
sistently leaving many of us with a feeling that we are
helpless creatures gone astray in an utterly indifferent
universe creatures who have neither a sure home beyond
the sunset nor a very enduring one on earth. Our litera-
ture our philosophies our religion—all have felt the ef-
fect.
We know too much perhaps-or is just possible
that we do not know half enough? Compared with the
people of Caesar Augustus’ day for instance we are all-
wise; compared with those of 2000 years in the future we
are amazingly ignorant mere children who have just
learned the alphabet.
Our chief hope probably is that the frontier of
knowledge will be pushed back in the next century at the
same rate as in the last one. Half-knowledge is danger-
ous. We do not yet know enough to be cocksure about
our pessimism.
Marine* and Politic*
Alhough most of us overlooked it under the press of
our own election it is worth noting that the republic of
Nicaragua has just held a presidential election also and
that the winning candidate was Dr. Juan Bautista Sacasa.
The interesting thing about this is that American
marines were sent to Nicaragua six years ago for the ex-
press purpose of keeping Dr. Sacasa from taking office.
Just why our state department wanted to keep him out
was never quite clear but the marines were sent in and
Dr. Sacasa was kept out and a number of fine young men
on both sides were shot to death.
Now. in an election supervised by the marines Dr.
Sacasa is triumphantly elected; and if you can think of
any reason on earth why our marines should stay there!
any longer you have a very agile and nimble mind indeed(

Charity Racketeers
NEW YORK—There is small
charter for Faith turd Hope when
Charity is so badly buffeted about
by Broadway's chiseling racket -
mongers.
A great number of worthy chari-
ties since the depression spawned
its jobless thousands have inadver-
tently given the petty operators an
opport unity of linmg their own
pockets at the expense of the hun-
gry.
Big-Hearted Lade
The latest to draw complaints
from the theater belt is a scheme
contrived by illegitimate ticket scal-
pers. They buy up blocks of seats at
special rates. r~hese they sell to elute
fraternal orders or individuals
claiming that the funds will go to
some good cause. They boost the
price fro: 50 cents to a dollar per
ticket. The unwary are taken in be-
lieving that they are helping the
poor while enjoying a theater per-
formance.
• • •
Testimonials No More
Sometl\rig resembling a death
blow however has been dealt the
"testimonial dinner" racket. No
longer can th $10 $15. and even $25
in ‘sucker money" be extracted from
cash customers. Half a dozen so-
called “testimonials” have never
been held because tickets went un-
sold.
The operators would "buy up" a
banquet room in some mid-town
hotel and announce a "testimonial”
for some judge celebrity or politi-
cal figure. Often these were abso-
lutely on the level. Just as often
they w*re not. The operator would
pay a couple of dollars a plate and
then sell tickets for $19 or more.
A percentage of the profit would
actually go to some fund but about
40 per cent of profits went in the
Jeans. *
• • •
Buy Entire House
Police investigators report the
theater-ticket racketeers have ar-
rived but lately from Chicago and
on one or more occasions have had
a money roll large enough to buy
up an entire theater for an eve-
ning for a “benefit.”

Cats Go New York
From professorial fellow met at
the current New York house life is
changing the habits. dispositions
and even the appearance of dogs
and cats.
A check of several ye:irs shows I
that many pets are actually "going
New York." They are rteveloping 1
symptoms as definite as those pos-
sessed by "professional New York-
ers.”
Cats in patricular. go ga-ga. Dogs
get a little better break since thev
are taken for walks and exercised
several times a day. The cats rare-
ly leave the house. A third genera-
tion kitten was taken to a park by
one of the investigators recently
The cat had never before had its
paws on earth. The poor thing went
slightly dizzy and had to be taken
home.
Without gomg into military
sanctions we all agree that the
criminal must foe cast away from
the life of civilized nations a boy-
cott of the aggressor must be or-
ganized. and this means that we
are asking the United States to
renounce the old idea of freedom
of the seas.

The
Once Over
Another Moratorium Case!
The following communication ha*
been received and forwarded to
Washington:
Dear Editor:—
As I will find it very difficult
if not impossible to meet my
obligations falling due on Decem-
ber 25th. 1 am writing to ^ak you
to adv.se me in the matter of
lightening the burden.
I am not asking cancellation.
What I want is a moratorium.
• • •
The facta are these: sometime
between 12 p. m. December 24th.
and 9 a. m. December 25th. I am
supposed to meet obligations of
such magnitude that the very
thought of them unnerve* me. For
many years I have come across
gladly and without any great trou-
ble. Last year the strain was al-
most too much for me however
and this year with only three or
four weeks to go before the fate-
ful night. I am in a panic.
• a •
I just don't see how I can pay.
It has been a tough year with me.
All my toy designers have been
working only two days a week
most of my shops have been closed
all summer all members of my
staff have been working under
serious pay cuts and one of my
most important departments the
corespondence bureau has been so
undermanned as to be woefully
crippled. As a matter of fact I
haven't been able to answer thirty
per cent of the children's letters
and it is now certain that at least
that percentage will never be an-
swered this year.
a A A
I have had practically no per-
sonal income for the past year on
account of the world-wide depres-
sion. and have been compelled to
economize as never bfeore I am
wearing the same red suit I wore
in 1929. my toes arc through my
boots and I am getting along witn
one mitten. In addition to all this
all my reindeers except Donder
and Blitzen have starved to death
and they are pretty sick.
• • •
It must be pretty plain to you
that I am in no shape to make
good in accordance with my for-
mer standards. What to do? That
is the question. It seems to me that
if Mr. Hoover would grant a
moratorium of six months it would
be a great help. Unless the experts
are kidding me everything will
have picked up by then and I will
be able to meet my obligations by
June or July.
• • •
I have discussed this informally
with Mr Roosevelt but he took
the position that the responsibility
rests with the party now invested
with authority. He is willing to
discuss my plea with Mr Hoover
if invited but he will not commit
himself. He takes the position tha:
I will not come under his jursdic-
tion until December. 1933
Anyhow any advice you can give
me will be appreciated I am on the
spot as never before.
Yours hopefully

th*1 state constitution say the
change to permit tax sale with-
out a suit In court was designed
to save the original owner much
ot the present costs and wj
facilitate his be.ng able to redeem
the property at the lower rates
fixed in the amendment. There
was no joker to it according to
Rep. P. C- Weinert of Scvuin. (tie
of the lawmakers most interested
in tax relief and home owner-

Atty. R. E. Masterson of Beau-
mont had * challenged the amend-
ment on the ground this change
to allow tax sale of land without
court suit was not included in
the words printed on the ballot.
• • •
Rep. Weinert said: “I know of
cases in which land sold for $5
delinquent taxes had an accumula-
tion of court costs so that the
amount was run up to $55—fifty
dollars for costs and $5 for taxes.
If a man can’t pay the $5 there is
no use to try to make him nay $55;
and if he can redeem the property
whv pile these court costs on his
back’
“The land cannot be sold unless
the tax debt is orima fac e." _
• • •
The amendment permits a man
to redeem such property within a
year at 1 1-2 times the amount
paid for it at the tax sale; and
during the second year at 1 3-4
times. The present system is that
he must nay double no matter how
s~on wi*h n the two year period
he wants to redeem his property.

terson of Beaumont has done a

Daily Health
Whenever a child appears to be
til with a high fever when It • om-
plams of pains in the throat when
tt is dull and apathetic and when
white spots are seen in the throat
or on the tonsils a diagnosis should
see the throat and should have Im-
mediate charge of the child' care.
The more the throat is involved
the greater the spread ol the mem-
brane In which the germa are
found. The longer the time that the
poisons developed by the germs are
permitted to get into the system
the more danger there is of death
or of serious complications.
Hence it Is urged that such cases
be diagnosed as early as possible
and t: at when fJiagnoeea large
amounts of antitoxin to be deter-
mined by the doctor in charge oe
given promptly.
• • •
It used to be thought that from
3000 to 5000 units of antitoxic were
sufficient for a first dose in the
vast majority ol cases. Most physi-
cian* now prefer to give 10.000 units
of antitoxin immediately and in
severe cases 20.000 to 30000 unit*
of antitoxin as a first injection.
The danger of death or of various
forms of paralysis cm- of serious
complications. Is far more likely
from the disease than trom any ex-
cess amount of antitoxin.
Indeed in the vast majority of
cases of diphtheria the proper use
of the antitoxin is almost the only
necessary method of treatment.
It is. of course understood that
the child will be immediately put
to bed and that it will have pro-
longed rest In bed in order to pre-
vent serious complications. It Is the
development of such complications
that demands particularly the con-
stant care of a physician.
• • •
Years ago. a physician named O -
Dwyer developed a method for per-
mitting persons with diphtheria to
breathe when the membrane had
developed to such a point that it
obstructed the throat
This method includes the use of
geld tubes called intubation tubes
which an expert can pa.vs through
the throat and trom the throat into
the larynx or breathing tube thus
permitting the child to breathe. The
use of such tubes requires expert
knowledge they are a most valuable
method in certain types ol cases.
As the condition improves under
the use of suitable doses of anti-
toxin the membrane disappears and
the child usually coughs up the
tube and gets rid of it. In other In-
stances the physician easily removes
the tube when it is no longer need-
ed.
The average Afr can ostrich
weighs about 300 pound's.

NOW CO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XXVI
r|X)M'8 hands clenched uncon
sciously. "Whoever has that
towel will have somethin* to say to
me!” he exclaimed. "Your blessed
little neck. Blnks—! Look every
where! Don't mind poking Into
bureau drawers—*
‘TU abuse my housewifely privl
leges to the utmost.” Linda made
a grimace as she rubbed her
throat. “But the others sat in the
sun. They may have burned too."
“A man's collar protects his neck
to some extent. One or two may |
have a touch of it but you're not apt
to find everyone in the same bouse
using the same salve either. That i
camphor smell makes the stuff un
mistakable. But while you're look-
ing you might watch out for differ-
ent sorts of ointment in the various
rooms.”
"If 1 find the towel shall I take
It away?”
“Bv all means. If that stuff really
shows. It'll be obviously soiled. That
shouldn’t arouse suspicion—to have
it disappear I mean. But will It
be there so late in the day?”
"There's a chance but It's only a
chance. Rosie usually goes around
before time to dress for dinner and
leaves out fresh linen. With all the
excitement she may not have had
time. Usually she would have but
so much has happened—"
"Even finding ft later in the lauu
dry would mean something. But
for heaven's sake. Linda look now!
Stop talking and get busy!”
“Here goes!” She went toward
their own bathroom.
“Why start thereV
"It would be a slick trick
wouldn't It. to plant It on us while
we were both downstairs? Rut
probably it isn't here—I'll Just
make sure."
• • •
A FTER clearing her own racks of
' suspicion Linda listened care-
fully at the door of their room
“I hope everyone’s downstairs.'*!
she said “It seems quiet up here." |
Tom looked out the window
“DeVos and Statlander are down
on the lawn Shaughnessey would
have no reason to he up here and
that leaves Pratt onlv.”
"HI have to take a ehance on
him. He*d be least curious of
them all and I’ll act very much
the housewife if I me.^ him In
fact. I’ll go and knock on his
door and. if he answers. 1 can
think up something to ask him ”
Determining hv this simple
stratagem that Pratt’s room was
empty as was the bathroom
which he and the Relgian shared
she started her search at the
other end of the hall. Plenty of
towels there but not so many
bath toweis. How lavish men
were in their use! Two different
brands of shaving cream and one
standard sunburn ointment but
not the one she used. Only one
other possibility—the bathroom at
the other end of the hall which
Mr. Statlander alone was using
When she saw It she could
hardly helieve her eyes Creased
— but the creates running muchly
from end to end as though pulled
strongly apart from the hems—
and. marking the central one. an
unmistakable smear of yellowish
grease. She smelt it—yes. that j
was the characteristic camphor ;
smell! Then with a quiver of re*
trospective fear she lifted the
towel lowly and placed it around
her thro t. No. that didn’t sepro
quite right. She reversed the
ends and felt the smeared creases
against the hot skin at the back
of her neck. Yes it bad been
rnllp.1 th tt way.
She had found It not on a towel
bar nor slunr carelessly man-
fashion over the tub. but at the
bottom of the hamper otherwise
empty. She knew one didn't drop
anything into a hamper by acci-
dent. One lifted the lid and did
it deliberately. And men. she rea
soned especially week-enders
never bothered with hampers
They expected to find a multitude
of clean towels always ready and
to have soiled ones spirited away
by the hand that brought the
fresh ones. If a woman bad bad
the room the clew of the hamper
would mean less. But a man—!
While she bad been thinking
Linda had snatched from the bar
a used face towel straightened
the remaining ones dropped a
fresh cake of soap into the tub
dish and otherwise attempted to
give the room a “done" appear
ance which would account for the
disappearance of the towel if it
werfe missed. She hoped of course'
that it would not be. Then drap
ing the several things she had
collected negligently over her
arm. she retreated as quickly as
she ami Id without actually run
ning to the safe harbor of her
own room.
Tom had gone down. That was
sensible of him But it was dis-
appointing. too. She would have
liked to show him her prize Now
she must hide it. Anyone who.
knew enough to conceal it in the
tirst place might try to trace It
aud with the discovery realize
that he was suspected. Under the
mattress? No. everyone hid things
there—It would be the first place
to look. Behind a chest of
drawers? No. it could be plainly
seen If It dropped to the floor. j
She flew- Into her bathroom
suatched down towels already
there and tftraped the soiled one
over a bar. Then across it she
hung other bath towels and. orer
them several face towels.
Feeling very well satisfied with
the place of concealment she
dabbed powder on her nose and
hurried after Tom.

ZOOMING demurely downstairs.
^ Linia heard voices in the
room beneath amd at the foot of
the stairs met the three guest*
whom she would lea1-! have liked
to encounter five minutes before—
DeVns Statlander and Marvin
Pratt. She greeted them with
friendly solicitude and suddenly |
altered her plans. This was the
time to broach the next step in
her campaign.
i nere 9 no word or Dr. Boyle
she said. "and there’s nor© than
a fair chance that he won't get
back until late tonight. Do you
know. I’ll feel much better satis-
fied if you will stay the night
here. You are not inconveniencing
•is a bit—in fact we like to havt
you. And It will be ao much
pleasanter If you don’t feel you
have to rush off to get a late
train to town. Do let me tell Tom
that you'll stay over and then we
can see tomorrow how you feel
about g)ing in.”
Standing a step or two above
them she had the advantage of
being able to study their faces
carefully and on none aut Mar-
vin’s did she decry any sign of
displeasure at the suggestion.
DeVos. readier than the ©there
bowed with a quick gracious In-
clination and answered:
"I shall be delighted. Madame.
That is most kind of you. But
please do not think you must a k
us because of our convenieoce
I for one wish to do whatever
makes It easiest tor you.”
> She smiled as tbs others mur
mured their agreement.
"This would. I assure you. 1
couldn't bear the idea anyhow of
your going back all of y..u. to the
city. If it's hot here. New York
must be an oven. But I under-
stand how you felt earlier. Now
you have had to stay this long
we’d both far rather have you
stay over tonight. Then we won’t
all be watching the clock and
wondering when Dr. Boyle Is com-
ing and. if he is late trying to
hurry hi.n — which would probably
have Just the opposite effect.”
"I—” (Mr. Statlander cleared
his throat* “That is quite agree-
able to me. Mrs. Avcrill If you are
sure.”
*Tm sure It Is most pica ant
for us” said Linda (irmly. “And
you. Marvin””
IT the direct challenge he met
her eye* with that curious ef-
fect of almost shamefaced reluct-
ance.
“If yon wish.” he said curtly
and she stood aside to let them
pass.
“That's tine. I’ll tell Tom and
he'll be as pleased as I. Dinner
is very soon now—yon won’t
dress of course. We’ll he here
when you are ready."
In the *ormal drawing room she
saw her husband struggling with
the halkr leg of a folding bridge
table and she hurried In. sure
that he had overheard enough of
the conversation to know its
tenor. As he started to speak
Linda cut In. breathless and e*-
clted.
“They’ll stay!”
