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.
We enter now the Onpenheim and
Le Quex realm where villains are tall

TELLS SAFE, SIMPLE WAY TO
TREAT AND RELIEVE AT HOME
If you have catarrh, catarrhal deaf-
ness or head noises caused by catarrh,
or if phlegm drops in your throat and
has caused cztarrh of the stomach or
bowels you will be glad to know that
these distressing symptoms may be
entirely overcome in many instances
by the following treatment which you
can easily prepare in your own home
at little cost. 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

palm trees everywhere. 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

saves Iiwes by his skill and courage,
one who works under the glaring
lights of the operating theatre, amid
the reek of anaesthesia.
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.—

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.
