THE PATTON COURIER ©Q000L000OC WHICH RULES By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK Dean of Men, University of Illinois. ©O0000000000000000000000000 Hammers is a physician, a perfect- iy healthy one, too, who has seldom been forced to take any of the drugs which he carries around with him when he goes out to make his profes- sional calls. Be sides being healthy, he looks the part, a state ment which can- not truthfully be made of every man who admits that he is well. Hammers believes that fat kills a good many people, or if it does not directly put an end to them, it at least does its best to put an end to their existence. People dig their graves with their teeth, he claims, and they begin to work at it early ia life. They let their stomachs rule their heads and shorten their fives by such slavery. Any sensible person, he claims, might easily and comfortably live to be a hundred or more if he would eat little, exercise regularly, and get proper sleep. The main trouble is we eat what we fike, and worse than that we eat too muck of it even when we know it isn't good for us. Now, I shouldn't eat strawberries, but I do. As a well- known columnist says: “I'd rather fave rash than no berries.” It is very strange how we let our brains rule our stomachs. Mrs. Crane knows perfectly well that she is never comfortable after she eats meat, nor are those who are near her happy. Does she refrain from eating meat and confine herself to pulse as did Daniel and his young companions in Babylon? Not she. “That baked chicken” (or roast tur- key or broiled steak, whatever it may be) “looks awfully good,” she says, when everyone is being served at din- ner. “I don’t believe a little piece would hurt me.” And having taken a little piece and finding it delicious, she passes her plate for a second help- ing, and the ordinary consequences follow. Groves lays on flesh very easily. Raw cabbage and beets would fatten him if he would eat enough of them. He knows very well if he would only use his head that he should eat spar- ingly if he would keep thin and feel his best, and he usually intends to do the sensible thing. But he has an ap- petite like a threshing machine. Ev- erything tastes good to him, and the ‘more he eats-the better things seem to taste. You know the result. His stom- ach wins the contest; he overeats and so gets heavier and heavier as the months go on. We make regulations, and it is not for me to say unwisely, as to what peo- ple may drink, and we argue that we are doing humanity service by regu- lating affairs, and contributing to the happiness and health and the pros- perity of the country, and yet I sus- pect that there is quite as much dis- ease and distress and death resulting from overeating as there is misery re- sulting from overdrinking or drinking the wrong things. We let our appe- tites rule. (©. 1929, Western Newspaper Union.) In the Spotlight as White House Pets “Whoopee,” the little fellow, and “Gillette,” the hound, are the first two «dogs to start the new White House menagerie. wade of the two dogs. This is the first photograph Wins Fame as Sleuth Canton, Ohio.—Ora Slater never read Sherlock Holmes nor heard of S. 8S. Van Dine, but he is a detective of fictional qualities just the same. Slater has figured prominently in three famous Ohio murder mysteries. He solved the Nesbitt case at Troy a few years ago, and later conducted the investigation of the mysterious shooting of Don Mellett, the Canton publisher. One of his recent cases was in con- nection with the death of Margaret Heldman, twenty-year-old wife of a Lorain furnace salesman. Wilbur O. Heldman, her husband, was charged with the murder. Slater's method of solving homicide mysteries is to trace down every clew, question every possible suspect, search minutely for a loophole—he ; says there always is one—and then peer long and patiently through the loophole. The detective gained a local dis- tinction in Indiana, his native state, handling investigations for the gov- ernment during the World war Afterward he became a private de- tective in Cincinnati. One morning Mrs. Jake Nesbitt, young Ohio State university gradu- ate, was found beaten to death in her Troy home. Jake helped the of- ficers seek the slayer, at first believed to be a vagrant. Slater was called in. Nesbitt said he slept at home the night before the murder. The lower portion of his pajamas could not be found. That was Slater's loophole. Would Go “Home” Stockholm, —After 250 years of exile from their ancestral homeland a Swedish colony which now numbers 800 villagers and farmers of Gam- malsvensky in the government of Cherson, southern Russia, has ap- pealed to the Stockholm government to be brought back to Sweden. Their story is that of a community exiled for centuries yet always dream- ing of their homeland, and for gen- eration after generation rigidly main- taining their native schools, language, customs and religion. Their ancestors left Swedish shores about 1670, and for 100 years were settled on the Es- thonian island of Dagoe. In 1781 Empress Catherine II of Russia ordered them to the Ukrainian steppes near the falls of the river Dneiper. Cossacks escorted them on that forced march. Their caravans, like the wagon trains that crossed the western plains of America in the days of "49, crawled 1,200 miles to the new home. The journey took nine months, and more than half the colonists died on the way. In 1792 the group numbered only 200 persons, according to the cherished church record of the Swed- ish vicar. When forefathers of the group left Sweden, Dagoe island and all the Baltic territory belonged to Sweden. The liberties they had enjoyed under Swedish rule were taken from them in 1721 when Russia, expanding to- ward the sea, took possession of Bal- tic shores. Russian landowners at- tempted to force the Swedish settlers into a condition of serfdom. The Swedes sent deputy after dep- uty to the empress, and at last, in 1780, succeeded in getting an impe- rial ukase which defended their rights, a precursor of the liberty granted all Russian peasants 80 years later. But under the new freedom the colony was ordered to the Ukrainian steppes. The tenacity with which they have clung to Swedish culture, a record piously preserved in parish Bibles, has aroused deep admiration through Sweden and the government is study- ing plans to help the Gammalsven- sky colony realize its ambitions. Jake eventually confessed the mur- der. He had burned the pajama trousers after killing his wife during a quarrel, In the Mellett murder Slater faced a blank wall until a mysterious tele- phone call from Massillon, later traced to Ben Rudner, convicted as the “pay off” man in the plot, pro- vided the loophole. Slater is a long-distance talker and a Story teller of interest. Often he has disarmed a suspect merely by talking him into security. Motor accidents have increased by 500 per cent in the past ten years. FRX REX EEREXXEXLXEXXXEXXXNE Tattooing Days Gone Except for Sailors Norfolk, Va.—The popularity of tattooing is waning. This is the opinion of the needle and ink artists who follow the trade here. “Tattooing has seen its best days,” one veteran holds. “The late czar of Russia was tattooed and there was a time when many society folk took to it, but now our work is confined chiefly to sailors.” The veteran needle- man believes people get tattooed because “they are still savages underneath, and they like to get themselves up to look pretty.” NNN NLS Se NN NN Se NEARER RRRRXRERLRRRETRETXRRRRERXELRLTRXX Be NN NEN NNN Se NN Ss EEAXEXREXXRXEEREX EXER REXRR REX XHRXXH Ke Ke RoR KKK HX EXXXEREXEXEELX Beginning His Life Work I'M GOIN’ IN TH’ ROUSE BUILDING BUSINESS, PA NEW FISTIC CHAMP the former Maxwell Jackie Fields, street youngster of Chicago, who was acclaimed by a unanimous verdict by the judges as the welterweight cham: pion of the world.

Mark Heroine’s Trail Vaucouleurs, France.—The trail of Joan of Are, Maid of Orleans, is to be marked permanently as France's trib- ute to her on the five-hundredth anni- versary celebration of her exploits. Her progress from the little town of Domremy to the court of the dauphin at Chinon; to Orleans, where she raised the 160-day siege; on to Reims, where she crowned the dau- phin, King Charles VII; to St. Denis, close to Paris, and eventually to the stake at Rouen in the north, is to be described serially in stone tablets set up at points of greatest impor- tance in connection with her story. It will take 18 months to put them in place. In all, the trail will cover more than 3,000 weary miles which the girl soldier, clad in armor and riding a white horse, traveled in less than fourteen months of terrific campaign- ing. She always pushed forward fast- er than her seasoned warrior coun- selers advised, never resting or spar- ing herself. This little town, a few miles from peaceful Domremy, where Joan, daughter of a landed peasant family, heard the voices which started ber on her military career, was the start- ing point of her journey. The story begins at dawn February 23, 1429. when Joan, Jisguised as a young mer- chant and accompanied by six faithful local followers, set out for Chinon and the court of the dauphin, fo teli the story of her voices and offer her sword to France. She rode a white horse, given ber by an uncle, and she left her mother and father in angry tears, berating her for her willfulness. She was a big, healthy girl of eight- een years of age, strong from working in the fields, tending her father’s flock and doing the housework of a medieval peasant cottage. Eighteen months later she met her death, al- most too feeble to stand up. War, hardships and imprisonment made a white-faced, hollow-eyed shadow of the peasant girl. Joan raised the siege of Orleans April 29, 1429, She crowned the dau- phin king of France in the Reims cathedral July 16 of the same year. 0-0-0-00000000000000000000000 DIPPING INTO SCIENCE 000000000000000000000000 Why Animals Become In- dependent Early The reason why humans be- come independent so much more slowly than animals is be cause animals are guided by in- stinct, while humans depend on their ability to learn.

X-Ray Used on Flies to Help Human Race Washington.—Flies which have long been held in bad esteem as spreaders of disease are about to do their bit in helping the human race. They are being used now for studies of the effect of X-rays on future generations. In flies, the harmful effects of these rays appear in the third and fourth generation, Dr. Mary B. Stark of New York city reported recently. She has exposed flies to X-rays for varying lengths of time. While the individuals exposed con- tinue to grow and breed, their de- scendants die off. Doctor Stark be- lieves this is because the reproductive cells of the grandparent or great- grandparent flies were injured by the rays. This injury is inherited and finally causes death. In this same way cancer may be produced in third and fourth generations of flies. Doctor Stark believes that the ex- periments on flies will throw some light on this problem in human beings. Her theory is not accepted by all scientists, however. Because the hu- man race breeds slowly, it will be some time before the inherited ef- fects of X-rays can be noticed in man, CHEMICAL WAR CHIEF Col. Gilchrist, United Henry L. States Army Medical corps, has been appointed by President Hoover to be chief of the chemical warfare service with rank of major general, succeed- ing Maj. Gen. Amos A. Fries, whose term of office expired. He is a native of Waterloo, Iowa, and entered the army as a contract surgeon in 1898. Working and Living Working for a living is a poor way of getting along.

The building, it may be ex- plained, got away from work- men who were moving it from one location to another. The Chicago Great Western rai'way engineer saw the ob- struction in time to halt his train. Weorkmen hacked away one corner of the building and the train continued its journey. sfefosferfecfenfortoofefentonferfenfenfenforfocfenfecfenfectoniosforterocfe FALLS UNDER TRAIN, SLEEPS SOUNDLY ON Doesn’t Waken When Dragged Out Unhurt. New York.—Peter Backe, Bronx, L R. T., repairman, sat on a bench in the Hunter's Point station of the sub- way in Long Island City recently and vawned. He had been working all night and he was sleepy. He stood up to keep awake to catch a train. But his lids closed and he fell asleep on his feet, The rumble of the approaching train failed to rouse him. He swayed. At that moment the train thundered in and Backe fell in front of it. Three cars rumbled past be- fore the brakes applied by Motorman Charles McGuirk stopped the train. A few minutes later the emergency crew reached the station with a clanging of bells, squad crawled found Backe wedged snugly in the depression of the rails. The policeman’ cocked his ears in- credulously as he heard a stentorian snore. He seized Backe by the legs and dragged him out into the light. The snoring continued. On the way to St. John's hospital the repairman slept, and even when he was lifted to a cot. “Unconscious?” the policeman asked Doctor Pisera. “No; just a natural nap. He isn’t even hurt,” said the ambulance sur- geon, and a particularly stentorian snore verified the diagnosis. Husband Slayer Walks Out of Detroit Prison Detroit, Mich.—Mrs. Maude Cushing Storick, serving a life sentence for the murder of her husband, Claude Cushing, escaped recently from the Detroit House of Correction. The murderess, who for the last three months has been the private cook for the family of Edward Denniston, su- perintendent of the Detroit institu- tion, walked to liberty after discard- ing her prison garb for clothing be- lieved to have been smuggled to her by an accomplice. The escape was noticed shortly after nine o'clock when Mrs. Minnie Walters, matron in charge of women trusties in the Denniston residence, found Mrs. Storick’s cell empty. Po- lice and prison guards were dis- patched at once to watch all railway and bus terminals. A reward of $100 was offered for her capture. Mrs. Storick is termed “a dangerous and exceptionally clever woman,” Cheese Rolling Rolls Two Thieves to Jail San Francisco—Two San Francisco policemen had never seen a profes- sional cheese roller in action before, and as a result they captured two would-be thieves. Corporal John Reed noticed a large cheese rolling slowly down one of San Francisco's 33 hills and behind it a furtive appearing character guiding its progress with a stick. Corporal Reed took charge of the cheese’'s progress and guided it—as well as its previous master—to the city jail. The would-be thief con- fessed, but would not tell where he got the cheese. Just as the thief was about to be locked up in rolled another cheese, and behind it came another policeman and another would-be thief, The story just had to come out then. There was a big shipment of cheeses at pier 19 and some of the boys just couldn’t resist the tempta- tion of rolling them away. Helpless Man Sends Dog With Note to Neighbor Cornell, Wis.—Charles Minick, a road patrolman, lay helpless in his bachelor home near here suffering from & violent attack of rheumatism. Minick called his airedale dog to the bedside, tied a message to the dog's collar and repeated the name of a neighbor several times. The message was delivered by the animal and Minick was taken to town and given medical care.
