"Proclaim I.lberfy tkroub all thr land" l.lhf-rty Hrll ,1 Reform the Relief System Millions of dollars are being wasted, and politicians are growing rich, charges Senator Borah, in the administration of federal relief funds. He produces figures showing that, in many instance?, it costs 25 or 50 cents to give away a dollar to a hungry family. In some cases, the politicians get more than half of the relief money. In sharp contrast is the operation of the American Red Cross which administers its funds for less than seven cents on a dollar. Of course, federal officials will deny Borah's charges but they won't convince the public. There is no doubt there has been reckless waste, and graft, in the dispensing of these funds; that politicians have loaded themselves onto the payrolls; that neixvtism has played its usual ugly role. Citizens should demand a strict accounting from the authorities of the funds wrung from them "for relief." No one grudges money honestly used to prevent hunger, cold, illness; everyone must insist on a cessation of reckless misuse mis-use of public money. It is not reassuring for the avergae citizen, hard-pressed to pay his mounting taxes, to learn that millions of dollars go, not to people who sorely need help, but to political employes em-ployes and their bosses. This sort of thing has got to stop and stop suddenly. The politicians are very busy exhorting everyone to do his part. This exhortation becomse ironic when a great deal Of the money is siphoned away to pay political salaries, instead in-stead of being used where it is needed. Senator Borah is doing a useful work in calling attention atten-tion to this cruel diversion of relief money. Every city, every county, should take steps to find out what is going on. locally and then institute rigid reforms where they are necessary. Fighters On the New Frontier Here and there, but with increasing frequency, you come across stories of people who have taken their fate in their hands, gone out into the countryside, and started to carve out a new start from the ground up. In the past few years, there have been hundreds of these new pioneers. They live and work and dream out in the hills, far from cities, and so very little is heard about them. They go about the business of living, soberly and industriously, and so they don't make "news." But. in a way. what they are doing is big news. They are the vanguard of the rebels against mass-civilisation ; against the machine-age; against the insufferable taxation and political mismanagement that afflict cities. In thousandfToTrest'ernefs" there yet lives a burning desire to live independently, to conquer nature and to call no man master. mas-ter. It is common to hear there is no more frontier. But. like many parroted sayings, it isn't true. There is a frontier i every time a man faces a fact. Every acre of wild land is a ; frontier, a new horizon to be attained and conquered. From a world of mass-production, a few brave units are detaching themselves in an attempt to become self-sustain2 ing and dependent on no efforts save their own. Some of ; them fail, but more of them win. For years, we have been centralizing humanity, gathering gather-ing it into huge cities, mechanizing it. Perhaps we have gone too far. But if we have, some of our people seem to have found the answer. They are decentralizing and indi- ; vidualising themselves. The pioneer spirit still lives in the west and there still , is a new frontier for it to challenge. 'Let's See What Can We Put the Unemployed to Work On?'

X-ray films gave the real life 'story of what is happening in a given organ. These pictures were taken by Dr. R. F. James, research physician phy-sician of the Westinghouse Co., and Dr. L. G. Cole of New York. Scores of pictures of the heart in action were taken, as well as pictures of the kidneys of a beer drinker. Heretofore it was thought that some organs acted, with a steady flow operation. These X-ray motion mo-tion pictures, however, clearly showed that they act with a rhythmic beat action, much the same as the heart. In making X-ray motion pictures, pic-tures, the patient is placed on a table with a thick covering of lead, which protects the film at the small opening in the lead screen where the film is to be exposed. The X-ray tube is over the opening. Dr. James predicts that these motion pictures will provide physicians with a new and valuable valu-able means of improving diagnosis diag-nosis of various cases which baffle physicians.

I Inside the News By CLARK SQUIRE The unprincipled lawyer, the one who engages in "shady" practices, may expect to find the guns leveled level-ed on him at the crime conference which Attorney General Cum-mings Cum-mings has called for Dec. 10 in Washington. Causes of crime and the remedies reme-dies will be discussed at length At some convenient spot on the program, there will be a suitable pause while someone takes a crack at unscrupulous attorneys who aid criminals in preying on society. Doctors, too, who turn their skill and training toward helping to defeat the law will come in for some panning;. "We have found members of the j bar skiriting close to the edge of criminality and bringing disgrace dis-grace to their profession." Cum-mings Cum-mings declared on his visit to the : state of Washington in August. 1 "We must get rid of those people who ought never to have been admitted ad-mitted to the bar.' Cummings has been conducting conduct-ing his war on crime without much ballyhoo. He believes it is impossible to suppress crime by ; any dramatic effort. His policy is to attack gangsterism in a calm, unrelenting and persistent manner. Effectiveness of his methods have been demonstrated in recent re-cent months. He has made the statement that his department will carry on "until the black flag of gangsterism is hauled down."

Briefly she explained the situation. Frances was all sympathy, sym-pathy, all understanding. Naturally Nat-urally Boots wanteu to be with her people if they Deeded her. Boots glanced around the gay and colorful room in which she had been so happy. By contrast with the shabby house in Larchneck it wore a particularly inviting air. All the soft hued lamps were lighted. Frances, in vivid pajamas of vari-colored silk, toasted bread before the fire. "I'm sorry, honey. 1 guess there's nothing else to do." Frances cocked her bird-like dark head up at her. Boots had her bags packed. The furniture all belonged to Frances. There was a flower print on the bedroom wall, one Boots had admired and Edward bad bought for vier. "I'll take this." she said. "It'll remind me of our good times." Her old room with its wide windows looked sparse and shabby shab-by now, but it had a welcoming air. Miss Florida had put an ivy plant on tiie hanging shelf and Mrs. Raelrarn had put up clean curtains. They were so glad to see Boots that it hurt. She was ashamed that anything she might do r.ould to affect anyone. Her father turned in his chair to see her come in. She kissed bis thin, faded cheek. Presently, the doctor said, he might try to take a few steps but for the moment his post was here by the front window, watching the world go by. It was strange taking her place aguin fn this old. familiar world: seeing the same faces: hearing the same voices: realizing the old order of things still prevailed, no matter what her personal eartn-quake eartn-quake had been. Showers were still given for engaged girls. Jealousies and rivalries were still rife in club and sorority. The Thanksgiving dance, now impending, impend-ing, embraced a host of small storms and quarrels and misgivings. misgiv-ings. Isabel told her about it all. Isabel now belonged to "the old girls."

"Why not marry me and step right out of it all?" Edward urged with impatience. Boots could not would not explain ex-plain the situation at home. Her pride would not permit it. To have Edward offering to subsidize her parents would be most humiliating. humil-iating. Besides, she felt definitely definite-ly that this was not the way out marriage. She had slipped into it before as a means of escape from life that she hated. She was more mature, more sturdy now: she would not make that mistake again. So she put him off. Not just now, she said. And Edward had to be content with that. The coal bill, the light bill, groceries gro-ceries it cost so much to live! The old house absorbed her small sti pend greedily while her mother bewailed be-wailed the necessity daily, almost hourly. On the last day of November Novem-ber the Qld boiler collapsed and Boots, lir despair, summoned the local furnace man who had always served them. fie spent an hour in the base mert figuring, consalei ing. A new-boiler new-boiler would be Jl'00. "We can't pay it," Boots said with the calmness of utter despair "1 11 take your note. Miss Bo-, is." said Mr. Derringer who knew the family well. The furnace was repaired and Boots signed the note. She cut down on luruhes. She mended her worn stockings painstakingly. She raged inwardly at the knowledge that her frail mother travtled over to the Exchange with the dozens of rolls in trays. How did people get money ? She marveled. It seemed to her that they had never had enough. really, but ' things had never been so bad this. T IFF was quiet in the big hcuse. Occasionally Isabel ran over for an evening's gossip. Ouce Johnny came in. rfither eniharrassedly. to call. But he was obviously awed by Boots' new status and went away. Boots found, moreover, thrrt she had little to say to her contenr. poraries now. They seemed to move in a different world. She passed Mrs. Fernel on tl e street one Sunday afternoon and the older woman bowed cordia'ly. She seemed to wish to stop xnd chatter but Boots went on her way coolly. She was not to be drawn into conversation with her old enemy. With sharpened vleion aad perceptions, she realized there was nothing Mrs. Fernell would have enjoyed so much as a resume of the whole affair. She would have liked the girl to grovel in spirit, saying, "You were perfectly right and I learned my lesson." "If she thinks she's going to patronize me all over again she's mistaken," Boots told herself coldly. cold-ly. She could catch 'he flash of bafflement and frustration in the other woman's eye as she passed on. But if the encounter with Mrs Fernell failed to hurt her. the return re-turn of Sylvia Rivers did not leave her completely untouched. Boots was waiting for her usual early morning train on the crowded sta tion platform when she heard a high, affected voico. a gust of rip pling notes of laughter. Glancing up, she saw Sylvia, wrapped In the leekesl and softest of dark mink Ple.isant Ji-ove high s. h- -1 H"p" 'o be r.' i'i Ft : i.-t -. ei;.i-r Th .-tiul.-r.ts . .n the Coiv.m a v ('vul Thornt C LIT Alfred Dexter, Madge V.
