Robert Hutchins Goddard, physicist at Clark university, Worcester, Mass,
wisims that he has discovered a principle of propulsion by means of a liquid
axplosive that will soon enable human
beings to undertake trips as far away

Goddard, should take about six days.

THE PATTON COURIER
“Long Termer” May Be Innocent
Marquette, Mich.—Whether Stanley
Ridler of Detroit is serving 1214 to 25
vears in the Michigan state prison at
Jackson for a crime he did not com-
mit Is a question to which Arthur D,
Wood, pardon and parole commission-
er, Is seeking the answer.
Anthony Machus, serving life In
Marquette branch prison, has told Mr.
Wood that he and an unnamed com-
panion, now dead, carried out the hold-
up for which Ridler was sentenced.
Machus said he had kept silent be-
cause he did not wish to implicate
his companion, but the death of the
latter recently, he said, had removed
this motive,
Mr. Wood said he had gone over the
Ridler case recently and was inclined
to believe that Machus was telling the
truth. Ridler has insisted all the time
that he is innocent. Mr. Wood inti-
mated he would recommend a pardon
for Ridler if his Investigation bore out
the story told by Machus.
Ridler was found guilty October 25,
1924, of holding up John A. Dietrich,
superintendent, and Frank G. Welbon,
auditor of the Detroit Twist Drill com-
pany, February 10, 1923, as they were
transporting an $8,300 pay roll. Rid-
led was convicted on his third trial,
the first two juries disagreeing. His
defense was an alibi.
Mr. Wood said his inquiries showed

“Love” Criminals Fear the Lash
Paris.—The French press hailed as
s@m admirable solution to prevalent
“ftove crimes” the recent lashing in
“‘Wemesvar, Rumania, of a woman sen-

Madame Borugsch, convicted of hav-

the lash on her naked back a few
«days ago. Various newspapers of cen-
#ral Europe voiced an indignant pro-
west that a woman should be so badly
flogged that her back resembled raw

Not so the Paris journals; echoing
the satisfaction manifested by the

Parisian editors are pointing out the

the rigid application of the law of the

Madame Dora Borugsch has had her

French journalists and the Temeshwar

normally be rotting in the cemeteries

favorably on the result, and so does

Between his second and third trials
Ridler disappeared and his bond was

was arrested in the slaying of Mal-

We Want So Much Now-a-Days
“TUST one thing has contributed
more than anything else in my
life toward making me the radiantly
happy woman I am today,” writes
Mrs. Walter Ruehl, of Glenbrook,
Conn. “If this was selling at ten
dollars a bottle instead of the few
cents it costs, I would scrape the
money together, and I don’t mean
maybe!”
“I guess a good many others feel
the same way, judging by the num-
ber of people I know who swear by
this ‘Fountain of Youth.” ””
Millions of people all over the
world have discovered this simple
secret, which is nothing but giving
our bodies the internal lubrication
that they need, as much as any ma-
chine. After you have taken Nujol
for a few days, and have proved to
yourself how it brightens your whole
life, you will wonder how so simple
a treatment can make such a great
change in your health and your
happiness. The reason is this:
Regularly as clock work, Nujol
clears out of our bodies those poi~
sons (we all have them) which slow
us up, make us headachy, low in our
minds.

Find Ancient Village in Yucatan

WOMAN’S HIGH PLACE
Mrs. Cairine Mackay Wilson, wife of
Norman F. Wilson of Ottawa, has be-
come Canada’s first woman senator
following the ruling of the privy coun-
cil last fall that women are “eligible
persons.” Mrs. Wilson, who is the
mother of eight children, is a daugh-
ter of the late Senator Robert Mackay
of Montreal. She is honorary presi-
dent of the National Federation of
Liberal Women of Canada, past presi-
dent of the Ottawa Women’s Canadian
club, and founder of the Ottawa Wom-
en’s Liberal association.
down—profane words, but not spoken
with any heat but rather coolly as if
such expressions were the regular part
of ordinary conversation, as I suspect
no doubt they were with her.
“She must have had a very crude
illiterate background,” you say.
But you're quite mistaken. She
hails from one of the most erudite
is known and its discovery is of the
greatest importance, particularly as it
is one of the few walled villages known
to be in existence in Yucatan.” No
description of the occupants was
given,
“The ruins are about 2,000 years old,
according to one stela dated A. D.
260,” said a statepent based on a let-
ter from Capthin JBenhett. “THey cover

“The mounds are very high, with
small temples on top, and ranges of
buildings between them. The grand
level plaza is reached by two terraces
with steps varying from 150 to 200
feet in width.
“After elimbing one of the highest
pyramids Captain Bennett saw unnum-
bered mounds and buildings, with an-
other extremely high mound some
miles directly to the east. Other ex-
plorers have noted the two lakes at
Coba, but from this high pyramid the
expedition noted four of them in a
line, running northwest to southwest;
the largest is about ene-half mile wide
and three-fourths of a mile long. This |

centers of the state; she is a member
of one of the *‘best families” of a rich
Chicago suburb; her parents are both
educated, and her own secondary
school preparation was in one of the
highest grade schools for girls in the
country. She thinks that one could
hardly be quite up to date if one did
not swear. It is an indication of free-
dom from the shackles of convention,
of independent thought, of fuller self
expression, if one emphasizes one's
statements with an oath. Other girls
are doing it—prominent ones, too—
and she is herself a campus leader.
She is president of something or other;
she must set a forceful example. She
does not realize how cheap and com-
mon and vulgar she is, what a low es-
timate she puts upon her own char-
acter—an estimate which those whe
know her only casually are sure to
accept. It would mot be so bad if it
were only girls, but the men are worse,
perhaps.
“Do all young fellows swear these
days?” a young boy asked me not long
ago.
“I was entertained at dinner by a
group of young men only a few nights
ago,” he went on. “They said grace
at table, and then after the meal was
over, they swore like pirates.”
Well, does every one swear these
days?
“Where did you learn to be so pro-
fane?” I asked a senior in college not
long ago.
“Oh at home, I suppose,” she re-
plied. “Father swears, mother does,
too. I guess I just picked it up.”
And what a disgustingly vulgar
habit it is, for even a pirate!

The time to do something for it is now. Don’t wait
until it develops into bronchitis.
Take two or three
tablets of Bayer Aspirin as soon as you feel a cold
coming on. Or as soon as possible after it starts.
Bayer Aspirin will head off or relieve the aching and
feverish feeling—will stop the headache. And if your
throat is affected, dissolya
two or three tablets in a
quarter-glassful of warm water, and gargle. This
quickly soothes a sore throat and reduces inflammation
and infection. Read proven directions for neuralgia,
