The Huron Expositor, 1930-02-28, Page 6ey sl 04. ffintow puma/ OV$PF A RUSSIAN GENERAL sGen. Koutiepoff kidnapped in by Russian agents? I.f so, was Murdered? If so, will the truth e'ontuaUy discovered? T hese are 9n ,1 ons which are said to be agi- tati! Paris more than any other questions since the end of the war. Th. whole city, if not indeed the whole nation, is discussing them passionate- Iy. All that is known definitely is that Koutiepoff has vanished, and that he was an avowed enemy of the w'lets . In fact, he was recognized as the leader of the White Russian emigrants now so numerous in every European country but Russia. Most of these people were former members of the aristocracy and some of them have royal blood in their veins. Most of them were impoverished by the re- volution and have gone to work. Oth- ers• were able to smuggle out of the country personal possessions of con- siderable value which they have sinee liquidated. Some others continue to draw apparently large sums from mysterious sources. All are animat- ed by a common hope that some day they may return to Russia and enter into possession of their former es- tates. Some are sanguine enough to believe that if the Soviet finally re- cognizes and pays the Czarists debts to France, France will share some of the proceeds with the emigres, In this group, Gen. Koutiepoff was conspicuous. He has been active and effectin,e in criticizing the Soviets ami keeping sympathy warm for the emigres. "Nobody denies that he was obnoxious to the Soviet officials both in Paris and Moscow. They would seem to have an obvious reason fc.•r removing him and since they have in the past 10 or 12 years committed so many acts which were ,to say the least, unconventional, the general opinion seems to be that they would not stop at kidnapping or murder in the case of the general. Naturally they would deny any such crimes if accused of them. On the other hand, the story of a. Russian nobleman kid- napped in the streets of Paris and re- moved to a suburb where he was done in reminds one too much of the ro- mance of Oppenheim to be readily ac- cepted. We are also aware that while much that is shameful and cruel has been proved against the Bolshe- vists, much more has been alleged with no Dolor of truthfulness. In short we are in a smothering fog of propa- ganada and do not know what to be- lieve. But the Parisians generally believe that the general was foully dealt with. Their wrath and suspicions haive been increased by revelations of another Russian, -formerly employed in the Soviet Embassy, who declares that it is really condueted by agents of the dreaded Cheka, or Russian secret police. He says they have rooms in the building which the Ambassa- dor himself dare %hit enter. It is obviously impossible to test the truth of such assertions since an embassy is theoretically Russian territory and no. French police would have any warrant to raid it and make a search. Indeed the unhappy Koutiepoff might 'have been lured into it, knocked on the head and buried in the basement for all anyone knows. This is quite possible, and there seems as much evidence in favor of it as in favor of any other theory concerning the strange disappearance. All that is certainly known is that the general, a tall, athletic man has disappeared from his usual haunts, also that he vanished in broad daylight.

Secure from your drug- gist 1 ounce of Parmint • (Double Strength). Take this home and add to it t/a pint of hot water and a little granulated sugar; stir until dissolv- ed. Take one tablespoonful •four times a day. An improvement is sometimes noted after the first day's treatment. Breathing should become easy, while the distressing head nois- es, headaches, dullness, cloudy think- ing, etc„ should gradually disappear under the tonic action of the treat- ment. Loss of smell, taste, defective hearing and mucus dropping in the back of the throat are other symp- toms which suggest the presence of catarrh and which may often be over- come by this efficacious treatment, It is said that nearly ninety per cent. of all ear troubles are caused by catarrh and there must, therefore, be many people whose hearing may be restored by this simple, harmless, home treatment. where the men make special cigar- ettes which they carefully select from jewelled cigarette cases and where the ladies have some faint elusive per- fume that reminds you of something or other. The assertion is made that the general was last seen in conver- sation with a fascinating young blonde in a beige coat. Standing be- side them was the inevitable long, grey limousine with faultless equip- ment and breathing an air of Iuxury if not indeed of sin And mystery. The idea that in pursuit of the blonde lady, a pursuit which has been un- flaggingly carried on by several gen. erations of Russian generals and grand duke, Koutiepoff was induced to enter the limousine. The car then glided away from there. The next we see of the general is in the same swiftly moving car. But by this time the blonde lady has van- ished. Instead the general is beheld Ftrusrgling in the grasp of a man in uniform who looked like a policeman. Naturally passerby seeing a man struggling with a presumable police- man would suppose that it was all right, and certainly unless the spec- tator were an Apache would not go to his rescue. The police theory at the moment is that the general was lured into a car by a fake policeman and two others who represented them- selves as detectives. Then when he suspected that he was being kidnap- ped he put up the struggle which was witnessed by several people. The car was going in the direction of the out- skirts of Paris and the belief is that Koutiepoff was taken to some lonely villa and then tortured before being put to death. Tardieu has taken of- ficial notice of the affair and has said that if the guilt of Soviet officials is''. established the matter will be dealt with not from a French but from a European angle. In other words there may be a concerted European decision to break off diplomatic rela- tions with Russia. In the meantime, fear of mob violence has kept Am- bassador Dovgalevsky behind doors in his Embassy which he has con- verted into a fortress. U. S. SUPREME COURT UNDER STRONG CRITICISM "Hurricane Warning" is the sensa- tional heading the New York World gives an equally sensational editorial upon the appointment of Charles E. Hughes as chief justice of the United States. It calls attention to the un- precedented opposition that the ap- pointment met with in the United States Senate, some of the strongest critics of Mr. Hlughes being members of his own political party, and the ablest and most independent minded of the senators voting against him. It should be borne in mind that no critic of Mr. Hughes has ever made the slightest animadversion against, his personal probity and ability as judge. What has been objected to is his trend of mind, his reactionary ten- dencies. It was alleged that he sets the interests of big business against human interests, that he has always been the attorney of wealth and priv- ilege. As a former member of the United States Supreme Court there was nothing liberal about him. Since retiring from the court his clients have been the great corporations. Hie associates have been millionaires. If he has not lost the common touch, it is because he never had it. Under him the United States Supreme Court will continue to be a legalistic body wedded to tradition and contemptuous of the great movements of the times. Apart from that the new chief jus- tice is beyond criticism. But admitting the truth of these charges, it might be asked: When were ever things different? What chief justice was there who did not represent vested rights rather than human liberties? The answer is that there never was one. What is new in the Hughes case is that one•third of the senators voted against him; that there was an opposition which if it had been organized earlier or per., mittde to continue for a little longer might have defeated the nomination. It is the expression of this sentiment of revolt which the world calls a hurricane warning. As a rule the people of the United States have been about as respectful to their Supreme Court as the British people are to the royal family. They have submit- ted with little protest to decisions which disappcinted them. It never has been suggested that the- court's decisions were founded on anything else than the Iaw of the land. But of recent years the fact that Mr. Jus - tied Hoboes, by far the most distin- gidished of the justices, and' the one Who has a piece of his own in public v.;reration, has associated himself with Mr, Justice. Brandeis in render- ! -" ing tninori*y opinions time and again, and that tlese opinions rather than the judgnu nts of the majority have expressed the hopes and principles of liberal-nrnded people, haF, brought in- to existence a formidable body cf opinion wi Bch does not scruple to criticize (he: decisions of the court and its memhers. In theory the business of the Su- preme Court is simple. It is the in- terpreter of the constitution. It has to pass upon the validity of laws pass- ed by congress and the various state legislatures to determine whether they violate any principle inherent in the constitution. If they do they are declared invalid. It has also to re- view the decisions of lesser courts and determine whether these decisions are in harmony with the principles of the constitution. Now and then it has seemed to step aside and actually create new laws. There comes to mind the decision of the court under Chief Justice White which introduc- ed the so-called "rule of reason" as applied to trusts. The Sherman Act declares in unmistakeable language that every combination in restraint of trade is illegal. That was the as- sertion of congress. Under Chief Justice White the court decided that what cbngress meant to say was that every "unreasonable" or "undue" re- straint of trade was illegal. It cer- tainly was not what congress said. The decision virtually sanctioned trusts, and permitted the court to de- termine what was reasonable and what was undue. In his "History of the Supreme Court of the United States," Gustavus Myers calls attention to the fact that all chief justices came from what might be called the ruling classes of the United States and that their fancily and personal interest remain- ed bound up with those classes. The first chief justice, Jay, married a daughter of William Livingstone of New York, and Elis mother was a daughter of Jacob van Courtlandt. It is as though one married the daugh- ter of a Morgan and his mother was an Astor. In those days the most important decision of the Supreme Court concerned land grants and the families of which J,ay was a member were the largest landowners in the State of New York. He resigned as chief justice to go to England and negotiate a treaty whereby loyalists were permitted to recover estates con- fiscated at the time of the American revolution. John Marshall, a subsequent chief justice, profited by this to buy out the claim of a man named Denny Martin on the Fairfax estates. It is true that he was absent from the bench when the decision was heeded which declared Martin's claim a just one. Marshall also confirmed the claims of ,"'other huge landowners to vast estates which successive attorneys -general had declared were filched from the public domain. He laid down the law that a land grant was in the nature of a contract and that no subsequent legislation could invalidate it, even if it had been obtained by fraud, which was often the case. Land worth billions of dollars was thus permanently aliena- ted by Chief Justice Marshall. Other chief justices were notable for their generosity to claims of railroads, and others upheld to the beginning of the Civil War the right of a slave -owner to recover his fugitive slave. Others were personally and through their fancily connections interested in many cases which came before them, al- though they were all honorable men and nobody has ever ventured to sug- ;est that their decisions were not based on the soundest law ani prompted by the purest motives. .1GUA COLIENTE STEALS FAME OF TIJUANA Tijuana's celebrity, which was com- paratively brief and brought about wholly by a race track and the usual gambling attachments, has been stol- en by its neighbor. Agua Caliente, an- ther little Mexican town a few miles farther from the American boundary. We have heard various stories as to why the racing is now done in Agua Caliente, the most plausible being that some influential Mexican want- ed to have it so in order that he might heve his percentage of the profits. In any event, the racing has shifted to the other town. much to the disap- pointment of Tijuana. However, the latter continues to provide plenty of excitement for visitors and no doubt considerable revenue for the citizens who cater to them. Its main street, perhaps a quarter of a mile long, con- tinues to be lined with nothing but bars and gambling places. At night it retains its sinister reputation for it is extremely dangerous for a stran- ger to stray about unattended. The gambling and the drinking have drawn the inevitable rough element to the Mexican border, and the Mexi- cans themselves can be rough enough. Nothing is gone but the horses. The track remains and dogs race on it. All the other lures are unchanged and the American who wants merely to gamble or drink need go no fur- ther than Tijuana. Ail the drinks he ever heard of and some new ones are on sale as openly as every they were in any American town. The foot that used to wander and grope for the brass rail that was not there can happily come to rest. There are plenty of rails in front of the bars. If one prefers he can drink in con- tinental fashion sitting outdoors. In every barroom there are gambling de- vices and they are supposed generally to he crooked. The gambling at Agua Caliente is perhaps a little gaudier and the latter town is undoubtedly much more beautiful than the former. The methods at Agua Caliente are al- so a little more polite. There is an effort to imitate Deadwood Gulch or Dawson City at the time of the min- ing boom. In Agua Caliente all the buildings owned by the gambling syndicates are new, with beautiful shining white walls and beautiful shining red roofs. One of the fea- tures first noted is an airplane beacon which at night is purely decorative since no planes land there after dark. But hi the daytime they bring pas- sengers from the American side. There is a $ret class hotel and beautiful gardens with tali, graceful FE 2s, 193 Folks Past 40 Should Read This If you are troubled with a burning sensation functional bladder weak- ness, frequent daily annoyance, get- ting -up -nights, dull pains in back, lower abdomen and down through groins—you should try the amazing value of Dr. Southworth's "Uratabs" at once and see what a wonderful dif- ference they make!

Truly Agu Caliente is an oasis in more sense than one. The cabaret restaurant i said to be one of the finest on th continent. The general atmosphere i more refined than in Tijuana, whic is inclined to drink its liquor raw and stuff its trousers legs into to boots. In Agua Caliente there i more to charm the eye, and the pro cesses whereby the American visitor are separated from their money ar rather more agreeable. Here one ca see movie stars from Hollywood wear ing thousands of dollars' worth o jewelry. Notables from different part of the world who have been attracte to Los Angeles are pretty sur to be seen sooner or later at Agu Caliente, for it is the fashionahl thing to do. But the bulk of th visitors are distinguished for nothin much more notable than their thirs and their hallucination that they ca make money at games of chance. Th games, by the way, are manned no by Mexicans but by Gringoes, an this is said to have caused some ill feeling on the part of native sons. There are all kinds of games from roulette to crap, and the genera opinion, according to T. J. C. 'Martyr who writes in the New York Times is that they are equally crooked. Th croupiers do not take much troubl to contribute to the air of elegant after which the place strives, and "sir" or "madame" is rarely heard If one asks for a new set of dice he is likely to hear: "Hey, brother how do you get that way? Ain these here dice good enough for you.' If he insists new dice may be sulkily produced. The general opinion is that the croupier who spins the roulette wheel was not appointed because of his Chesterfieldian manners but be- cause of his ability to make the ball fall at will into the slot he has select- ed. The reputation of the croupiers in games wherein the hand is quick- er than the eye is quite as evil as that of the roulette official. One man who says he always wins at stud pok- er or twenty-one explains that he does so because he liberally tips the dealer when he wins. Almost all the patron of Tijnna and Agua Caliente are Americans or people visiting in the United States. The Mexican population is otherwise employed. The chief attraction, of course, is the liquor. Both towns are within easy motoring distance from important California communities which, in turn, are connected by rail or motor buses with towns in all parts of the state. Thousands of American cars cross the border daily. As a rule they return before six o'clock and re- cross the next morning for at night the border is closed and in neither Tijuand nor Agua Caliente is there accomrhodation for all the people who visit it by day. But Agua Caliente is worth seeing for its own beauty, even by those who are not interested in either gambling or drinking. We fear. however, that even its undoubt- ed charms are lost upon most of the visitors who are prone to gaze upon them with a vagueness born of al- cohol, or an absentmindedness pro- duced by preoccupation with the next race or the chances of red turning up three times in a row. LATEST INVENTION SHUTS OUT NOISE Sound proof houses, offices, factor- ies, hospitals, and even moving vehicles—these are a possibility of the near future if experiments now be- ing carried out in a West London lab- oratory prove successful. The problem of stopping unwanted sound vibrations has been solved, and the question now remaining is bow to apply this discovery to everyday needs. The aim is to surround an area with a sort of electrical girdle which will absorb all "incoming" noise. Dr. James Robinson, former chief of the wireless research department, is the man who is within measurable reach of making life sound -proof. Like all scientists, Dr. Robinson is extremely reluctant to forecast the end of his research. "I do not want to make any claims," he said to an interviewer. "We have, however, proved the principle that you can isolate wireless vibrations, and it is quite possible that the de- velopment of our work will provide a solution of how to isolate ordinary sound vibrations and stop them from penetrating any particular place. At the moment I think I can see the way in which it can be done; how sound vibrations can be stopped in the same way as wireless vibrations." "Infinite possibilities are behind Dr. Robinson's researches," said an expert w'ho is in close touch with the experiments. We visualize a house or an office—indeed, any buildings— equipped uildingsequipped 'with the special electrical apparatus which will absorb all mots - es from without. "At the turn of a dial—like the tuning dial of a 'wireless set --that building will be isolated. There will bo eomplete and absolute calm. The principle can be applied, we think to "moving vehicles such as trains and fN motor cars, so that passengers may travel in silence. "Individual rooms in a house might then be sound -isolated from the rest of the house. I can foresee an author working in comfort and silence in his study while in the drawing room ad- joining his daughters are dancing to a gramophone, Life will become eas- ier and more 'bearable in every way if this modification of Dr. 'Robinson's invention can be made a success." SINCE WHEN HAVE THE SCOTS BEEN SO VERY, VERY MODEST? The Lord Mayor of London, Sir William Waterlow, looks exactly as a lord. mayor should. He has a tall, important figure, comfortably sugges- tive of an excellent cellar, a ":symea- thetic tailor, and an easy conscience with digestion to match. He has merry blue eyes that twinkle like a schoolboy's, and yet are clever and shrewd, the sort of eyes to make a first offender hope and an old one quail when, in the pomp and splen- dor of his high office, their owner takes his seat as chief magistrate at the Guildhall. His cheeks are rosy with good health and good living, and his ready smile is that of a man who finds his journey through the world a very agreeable one, and his fellow - travellers, on the whole, excellent fel • lows. He and the lady mayoress, ;vho is a Scots woman, (and who looks just like a big, pink rose) were at a din- ner party the other night, given by a well-known cub for women. A num- ber of Scots notabilities were pres ent, and the lord mayor paid them this charming compliment. He told them that immediately after his elec- tion a reporter representing London's leading daily newspaper was sent to ascertain his views on Scots charac- ter, individually and nationally. As might be expected (here he gave an affectionate and very boyish grin at the lady mayoress) he expressed great enthusiasm. Lady Waterlow, though 'gratified, suggested with a touch of national caution that it would be 'as well to read the interview be- fore it was published. It was duly submitted, and Sir William confident- ly handed it to his wife. "And she sanctioned it, of course?" murmured one of the guests. "Indeed she did not," retorted the lord mayor. "What she did say was, "My dear, if these paeans of praise for Caledonia appear in print, the English nation will con- clude that instead of being lord mayor of London, you must have been elect- ed lord provost of Edinburgh-" Have You An Acid Stomach? When gas, pain and distress follow a good meal, it is an almost sure sign of "too much acid" in your stomach. Get rid of it now for it is dangerous. Ulcers are apt to follow. No matter how much acid is in your stomach, you can enjoy and relish your next meal without fear of after effects, if you have some Bisurated Magnesia handy to prevent the trouble before it starts. Try it. Eat whatever you like, in reason, and then take a little Bisurated Magnesia to neutralize the acid, sweeten your stomach and pro- tect the stomach lining. Doctors re- commend Bisurated Magnesia—thou- sands use it because it positively pre- vents stomach trouble or stops the worst attack in less than five min- utes. Get a trial package, either powder or tablets, from your drug- gist, use as directed, and indigestion and stomach troubles will go like magic. OUR RAILWAY MINISTER WANT- ED TO BE A SURGEON It is more than a legend at Ottawa, that many of our great public men, past and present, have not been and are not happy in their exalted posi- tions of power and authority. It may be said confidently that Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Liberal chieftain and prime minister for fifteen years, considered his political success to be ordinary and unworthy of adulation. There were, to him, far higher heights, which he would have given much to scale. Laurier was a life-long admir- er of the manly art of self-defense:', he loved boxing. He is said to havo told a friend one day when in a re- miniscent mood, that he would rather be a world champion of the ring than prime minister of Canada. Hon. "Toni" Crerar, who has just received an acclamation in Brandon, is another outstanding public man who utterly failed to achieve his ambition. Crerar never had a desire to be a big business man, a highly paid ex- ecutive, nor even a political leader. From earliest boyhood he longed to be a surgeon. In his teens, working on the family homestead at Silver Creek, Manitoba, he would have been content to grow up to be a farmer had it note been for the consuming urge to become a surgeon—,one who RENNIF's SEEDS BST THAT GROW MIMING FOR /NE GARDEN AND FARM CATALOGUE TO INTENDING PURCHASERS W"' RENNIE COwarm TORONTO ALS.

It. was this ambition vthich made him disatisfied, with rural life, and supported him during years •of priva- tion in which be got sufficient educa- tion to enable him to teach school. This he believed, would be the hard- est part of his upward climb to medi- cal college, and attainment in the pro- fession of his heart. Once a school teacher, he possessed a sure source of income and he would save money to . put himself through college. He estimated that it would require five years to make his future certain. In the fyfth year, just when he be- lieved the last obstacle would be sur- mounted, he noticed a soreness in his left eye. Within a few weeks, the trouble became so severe that he was threatened with partial blindness. He had to resign his position and return to farm life. Since then Crerar has written let- ters declining the premiership of On- tario and Manitoba; resigned from the Union government; from the leader- ship of the Progressive party. These letters were easy compared to the one that young Crerar wrote resign- ing his school -mastership and with it all hope of attaining his ambition. Nor have the passing years with all the success they have brought dimmed the poignancy of his disappointment In a real sense, these successes have, been barren and joyless. HOUSEHOLD DISCOVERIES A Needlework Hint. When drawing threads in linen make a lather of so00 and wea.ter and apply with a shaving brush to the liner where the threads are being drawn Let the soap get quite dry and the threads will simply slip out when pulled, To Remove Grease Spots From Silk Moisten ordinary washing starch t a paste and apply to spot, let dry and brush off. If not all gone apply a- gain, it will not harm the cloth. When Washing Socks. When washing woollen socks or stockings, 'to peg to line put a clothes peg on the heel, then stretch and put another at the toe. This pre- vents them from shrinking. Cleaning Stoves. To clean a greasy, dusty cook stove, take top off stove, get a little soot on a fine, soft duster, and rub briskly over the steel and pickle. It will be clean and bright, When Mending Gloves. Put a clothes peg in finger of glove when mending; also finish with one o • two button -hole stitches—will keep it from ripping out. Keep Frost Off Windows. .. To keep the windows from frosting apply a thin coating of glycerine on both sides of the glass. This will pre- vent the formation of moisture and there will 'be no frost, A Convenient] Tray. A tray on which to keep the salt and pepper shakers, catsup, sauces, sugar bowl, etc., saves time in setting the table and many trips from the kitchen to the dining room. A Darning Hint. Some fine black and white Brussels net for mending big holes is a con- venience in the work basket. Use black for dark colored articles and stockings and white for underwear and light garments; cut the net larg er than the hole and overlap half an inch all around and tack in mace Then darn in and out of the meshes of net and you have a nice, neat darn and one which will wear much longer than- the ordinary way of darning.— Mrs. W. S., Hamilton, Ont. LOW COST MEALS Economical Bean Soup.

When a golden brown, add 1 teaspoon salt, a dash of pepper, half teaspoon summer savory and 2 tea- spoonfulsWorcestershire sauce. Blend all together over a low fire. A very little stock may be added, if desired. Press the water gently from the bread. and crumble it into the pan over the first mixture. Toss lightly until fluffy. Press gently into a bowl or mould, and when thoroughly chilled it is ready to serve. Cut in thin slices and serve with any cold meats. It is a delightful substitute for dress- ed meats. Home -Made Cereal Coffee. Two cupfuls bran, 2 tablespoonfuls yellow cornmeal, 2 or 3 tablespoon- fuls dark molasses. Mix the bran and cornmeal and brown in the oven, being careful not to let it burn. When nearly ready to - take out, add molasses. Mix thor- oughly and return to oven for a few minutes. When cool, nut in a con- tainer.

To prepare the onions, fry any quantity of onions—chopped fine—in oil or butter until very lightly brown- ed. SUDDEN STOPPING HARD ON MOTORS The sudden application of brakes while travelling at any rate of speed imposes a severe strain on all parts of the car, remarks L. G. Evans, na- tional service manager for the Na- tional Automobile Club. Few motor- ists realize the amount of energy ut- ilized in bringing a cur to a stop. The same drivers who know that it .re- quires tremendous horse -power to ac- celerate a car are unmindful of the fact that braking my be explained in similar terms. No sensible driver would expect his car to withstand the severe strain of running at top speed for any distance and no good driver should impose up- on the mechanism of his car by de- manding that it withstand the distor- tion of sudden stops. DRIVE FARTHER AHEAD Driving "farther ahead," that is be- ing conscious of what is going on in front of one so far as it is possible, is one of the first features of safety at this season of the year. A greater degree of concentration is requisite, but the rewards fully justify it. The more time a driver has to execute any manoeuvre when streets are slippery the better is his execution. !'I ]ForAll �pDERS D�S--.._- to I, kr DODD S >> < , r‘r/, If4 PI 131 LNI.
