Fifth week — Nothing very
much happened, unless you count
a thumb torn on barbed wire, and
(in extracurricular activity), a fall
from a horse at Leo Carillo’s
great fatigue, loss of sleep, and development of
neuroses, as well as degenerative changes in the
hearing nerve and the middle ear structures.
Animal experiments support the last state-
ment and clinical experience the first.
Fester Kennedy, in a number of experiments
conducted at New York’s Bellevue hospital, has
shown that a "sharp, loud report produces nota-
ble irregular disturbance and a rise in intracra-
nial (within the head* pressure to four times
normal.” - ' '
Sudden noises cause increased pulse rate, in-
creased blood pressure and irregularities in heart •
rhythm.
At Colgate university it was shown that irri-
tating noises disrupt the normal activities of the
stomach and the small intestine. The secret.on
of saliva and gastric juices is lowered.
Noise produces fatigue. This has been shown
by studies made in industrial establishments and
by carefully controlled experiments. Prolonged
exposure to noise, notably such as is produced
in industrial activities, is apt to injure the hear-
ing mechanism permanently. Smiths, machinists
and boiler makers show an uncommonly high
prevalenee of deafness.
Excessive noise is encountered in the three
spheres of human life the work place, the out-
s de and the home. Industrial noises constitute
a unique problem to which industrial engineers
and others concerned with manufacturing pro-
cesses are devoting some attention, though hard-
ly enough.
Noises encountered in the streets and in the
home are more subject to individual control. In
some cities anti-noise campaigns have been
started, much to the gratification of the citizens.
But few have been kept up.
In his own home, however, each man can con-
stitute himself an anti-noise committee and sup-
port the campaign to cut down irritating and
loud sounds. A deliberate survey of the domes-
tic noise sources and the elimination of those
that can be eliminated, will go far to improve
temper, promote sound sleep and, in many sub-
tle v.ays, to favor emotional and physical well

The cigarette girl came by. She
smiled. I used to think she meant
it, but I have learned she smiles
at everyone without any special
significance attaching to it. She
said: <
"Cigars? Cigarettes? Vita-
mins?”
I straightened suddenly in my
chair.
“What did you say?” I demind-
ed.
“Cigars?” she repeated, “Cigar-
ettes? Vitamins?”
That was just what I thought
she said. ‘That’s why I thought I
had ’em. Cigars, cigarettes, and -
vitamins!
I gulped, fidgeted and fussed
with my cravat.
“You said- vitamins?” I whis-
pered hoarsely.
“Oh, yes, sir," said the gorgeous
thing. “The vitamins are extra spe-
cial tonight.”
“I can well understand that,” I
responded, “you must pardon my
perturbation, Miss, but I have a
confession to make. Boy and man
I've never seen a cigarette girl
selling vitamins. You are not, by
chance, seeking to spoof me?”
“By no means, sir,” she said. “I.
really sell vitamins. Almost every-
body who goes to a night club
needs vitamins sooner or later.”
She lifted a small box from her
tray. Sure enough, it said “Vita-
mins.” She lifted the lid. There
they were, arranged in neat rows;
black ones on one -side and amber
ones on the other. They were like
pellets and about one-eighth of an

van in Gainesville Monday.
The Fort Worth candidate drew
by far the largest crowd of the
political season. 1,000 or more by
tin most conservative estimate.
And he left with the political ex-
perts shaking their heads in some-
what of bewilderment over the
meaning of the great interest in
O’Danicl’s campaign.
Most of the crowd was made up
of people from the rural sections.
One local merchant said he did a
better business with his rural cus-
tomers than on an average Satur-
day, and all of the customers made
it known they had come to town to
see and hear O Daniel. One Dexter
man said it was the first time in
25 years he had come to Gaines-
ville to hear a political speech.
But it must be taken into con-
sideration that at least 35 per cent
of the crowd was made up of non-
voters, youhg people under the 21
year limit. A majority of the adults
were women, but their votes count
as much as the men’s and they
have considerable influence at
home when it comes to candidates
nowadays.

"Let’s try yellin’. There was
people enough flittin’ around when
we come!" Asey suggested.
They yelled. No one came.
“Well, we’ll pull every damn bell
cord in sight, simultaneously,” El-
liott said, “and see what happens
then!"
But nothing happened.
“I’m damned!” Elliott said
angrily. ‘ I’m everlastingly
damned! What do these birds
think they're trying to pull, I'd
like to know!"
“Let’s hunt," Asey said.
They hunted through the house,
and around the house.
Finally, Asey drew out his old
C. It. and fired it into the air.
’That,” he said, “ought to do
samething!”
In a minute a house boy ap-
peared. He was followed by more
servants. At last Carveth wearily
walk d up to where Asey and
Elliott stood.
“Have you found him?”
"Have we,” Asey asked, “found
who?”
"Reddy!”
".Listen,” Asey said. "This is
THE CANDIDATES for Cooke
county offices are going to make
their bi-annual stump speaking
tour, but in modified form. There
will be nine speaking dates instead
of 15 as were scheduled two years
ago.
Nevertheless, the candidates
won't have any time for leisure,
because a number of communities,
not on the scheduled list, have ar-
ranged picnics, pie suppers, etc., to
lure the office seekers.
The candidates find it difficult
to select communities in which to
make their speech for fear of an-
tagohiz ng the communities not in-
cluded < n the itinerary. So they
adopted a tentative schedule the
county chairman, prepared rather*
than be responsible for the list. He
can take it.

What’s the meaning of all this?
Where is Roddy?”
“He’s disappeared," Carveth
was so excited that he squeaked.
“Ht s disappeared! He’s gone!”

Strarze Reception
(6AYOW," Asey tc!d the Con-
I gressman, “I’m goin’ over to
chat with Roddy Strut. I that
car that’s comin’ has a press card
cn the windshield so long!"
On the way to the Strutt house.
F iliott asked lor the inside story of
the murder, and Asey briefly
summed it up for him.
“And you think Marina saw the
ambergris first?” Elliott said,
"from the plane Asey, have you
thuught that if she saw it, any
number, of others, whoever they
were, might have seen it from the
plane too?"
Asey admitted that he hn J given
that angle a considerable amount
of attention.
“As for Roddy himself," Hliott
said, "I personally can't say a kind
word for him. •’ I don't think he’s
got the brains of an ox. I don’t
think it's ever teen my misfortune
to meet a weaker and stupider
young man. But somehow I feel
that if Roddy had. killed that wo-
man, you’d have been extremely
positive about him by now. Roddy
wouldn’t have had the wit to use
Pam Frye’s knife, for example. If
Roddy ever got up courage enough
to kill anyone, he'd lay such a
stupidly elaborate plan that you've
have seen throlgh it in a second.
Like this business of crashing the
plane fir an alibi. It was expen-
sive , and it was spectacular, and it
was elaborate, cut it wasn't very
bright. He might I aye ki’led him-
E: If. And he doesn’t seem to have
taken the pilot into consideration
at all.”
"Thats‛ tree,” Asey said. "He
wasn't even bright enough to be
s licitous about Brigham an' his
hurts. If he’d had an ounce of
sense, Raddy’s have taken him to
the hcspital himself, an’ called in
every specialist within 100 miles.
Then he’d have had. Brigham on
his side, instead of havin’ Brigham
hatin’ him', an’ wenderin' what the
whole business meant anvway.
Well, we'll soon be seein' things."
The Wilipino ’"’th the canliflower
ears was guarding the closed en-
trance to the driveway. If he rec-
ognized Asey as the man who had
tried to come in the day before, he
gave no sign of it, but he refused
to let them through until he had
called the house.
“Mr. Strutt,” he raid at last, “he
come."
De ertc J
Carveth Strutt tripped down
the driveway with the edd springy
walk that Asey noticed so often in
short, fat men.
"Mavc," he said. “And why
it’s Elliott. Larry, old man. I’m
to glad you’ve ccme! This is very
decent of you. yery. I assure you
that we won’t forget this!”
Up in the house. Carveth set in
mrction half a dozen servants.
When things quieted dewn, Asey
and Elliott found themselves sit-

FALSE LIBERALISM
THE PEOPLE of the United States are
1 chsesced with a strange philosophy,
says Dr. Robert G. Cproul, president of the
Ui iversity of California. We are learning
the doctrine of class hatred and are being
taught to envy anyone who rises above the
masses.
"I cth amateur and professional wreck-
ers, marching under the banner of false
libcralism," he hays, "are creating the im-
pression, none toc subtly, that a man who
rises above the mass hi any field of human
'effort other than destruction, owes his
success either to illegal methods, to ex-
ploitation of his less fortunate fellows, or
to highly reprehensible and dishonest be-
havior of some sort.
"Banker, New Dealer professor, legisla-
tor, bureaucrat, rugged individualist, the
police and the ccuree, the pulpit and the
platfcrm, all are looked upon with suspi-
cicn. To some ui the world this is a desir-
able state of affairs It parallels the back
groud against which commuhism came to
power is, Russia, and that paralysis of ac-
tic:) which brought Naziism to Germany.
But for these who believe in democratic
institutions, nothing is more alarming
than the rapid grovrtli of mistrust aud in-
tele rance witlin our ational borders."
Gre cncouter. ihis new form of class
hated on every hand. Those who ure ul-
successful are being taught that those
wiro r re more’ successful than they are
rogues and scoundrels aad should be pun-
ishc for having achieved success. Any-
one vho wear 1 his trousers pressed and
washes behind his ears is pictured as a
plutocrat and an enemy of the workers.
Anyone who rises above the masses is de-
scribed as a tyrant and an oppressor of the
