WIRELESS IS USED
ID CATCH SLICKER

OMAHA, Neb., May 16.—Nebraska
and the surrounding states have been
“broadcast” for radio slickers.
It had to come, for never has an
innovation swept the country that
the “slicker” playing upon the en
thusiam of the mord gullible, has
not followed in its wake. Certain
good Nebraska citizens, however,
£ are wondering vaguely just why the
:>/radio slicker had to start and have
; Vhis being in their own fair state.
swindled by the radio, it
hope of the authorities to
catch the slickers by that very same
“Safeans of communication. Perhaps
ajjd probably, the slickers by now
hjuve gone beyond the reach of the
less powerful stations, and may be
plying their nefarious trade in
more distant parts. In any event,
the Nebraska authorities are “tell
t* x ing the world”* of the experiences
‘"here, and if any more persons get

i- “agency” for radio sets had been
>* duly purchased by a local merchant
. and that soon a shipment of radio
■ sets — enough that all might hear
.and .enjoy the ether concerts —would
'■tarrive. There was much excitement
-•■for Nebraska, like most other states,
been completely run off its feet
toy the radio “bug.”
.j.'.Afiut radio stock in the immediate
vicinity of that town has taken a de
~ci3ed slump. It was a suasive
stranger who who knew all about
things radio —about detectors and
coils and tubes and everything—who
dropped into the merchant’s store a
week ago and offered the “exclusive
ilgency” to the dealer for the con-
the stranger said he represent

the force of his wireless eloquence
to part with a certified check for
and to sign three notes, dtle in
four months, totalling many hun
*’’d?eds more.
-4Phe merchant sat down to await
the arrival of the sets. But they
did not arrive. They have not yet
arnved, and the merchant, who is a
substantial and respected citizen, also
-has proved that he is what might be
’* called a “good sport” by dismissing
the. whole matter with a naive-ad
“rpission: “I guess I was ripe.” He
did' not arrive at this stoicah atti
tilde, however, until he had told the
’ jsberiff of his predicament. Where

mortgaged?
A. Maine has the largest number
of mortgaged homes, 76.3 per cent
of the total being mortgaged. Louis
iana and South Carolina have but

states, Florida and California, is
more likely to have a cold spell, and
give reasons why?
A. *The weather bureau says that
both of these states are liable to
frosts to more or less extent, de
pending upon the localities. Cali
fornia extends over a wide territory
north and south, with many high
mountains, which give to it a variety
of climate. Florida is located much
farther south and has, all told, a
much milder climate.
10—At what rate should a baby
gain in weight?
A. During the first three months
the increase in weight of a normal
baby should be about half a pound
each week; by the end of the fifth
month the baby that has been per
fectly well and is being properly
nourished should have doubled Its
birth weight and weigh about 15
pounds, and at the end of the 15th
month it should weigh three times
its weight at birth. Infants that are
very large at birth do not increase
so rapidly
German Inhabitants
Fear French Troops
Will Invade Country
BY GEORGE WITTE
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1922.)
BERLIN. May 16.—“ Will France
invade Germany?” is the question
many Germans are asking today as
a result of continuous reports from
the Ruhr district that French
troops are being massed at the fron
tier of the occupied zone ready to
march in on May 31 if the govern
ment fails to pay the indemnity in
stalment of 150,000,000 gold marks
($35 000,000) then due.
The big industrialists in Essen,
Frankfort on the Main, and other
towns in the immediate neighbor
hood of the occupied zone are lit
erally selling out in order to avoid
the impending danger. Foreigners,
particularly the British are buying
up big interests in industrial enter
prises at low prices because the
owners are afraid that the French
will take everything if they march
further into Germany.
In some circles z it is even believed
that the French, will try to march
into Berlin.

SENM KEEP
ALIENSOFF FLOOR
The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
408 Evans Building
BY THEODORE TILLER
WASHINGTON, May 16.—Smart
ing under -the recollections of his
inability to go upon the floor of any
foreign parliamentary body during
his recent visit to Europe, Senator
Medill McCormick, Republican, of
Illinois, is urging senate rules com
mittee to take early action on his
resolution to bar foreigners from
the floor of the senate.
The McCormick resolution would
deny the floor privileges of the sen
ate to members of the British house
of lords and house of commons, the
French chamber of deputies, and
other foreign legislative bodies.
Only about a week ago Lord and
Lady Astor, of Great Britain, were
admitted to the floor of the senate,
and their visit caused quite a flurry
on floor and in galleries. This re
ception was exactly opposite of the
one Senator McCormick says was
accorded him when he visited the
British parliament. He found that
he could not even enter the lobby
of that parliament, nor that of the
French chamber of deputies. The
floor rules were so strict that the
American senator stood practically
on a par with any unofficial tourist.
Upon one occasion the rules of
the French chamber were stretched
just a little bit in honor of Senator
McCormick and Lord Derby, British
ambassador to France, but Senator
McCormick and his companion were
not allowed to go farther than the
lobby of the chamber and co-uld not
even hear the debates.
Senator McCormick says that he
ascertained on his tour pf Europe
that the American senate is the only
important legislative body of the
•world that confers the floor priv
ilege upon foreigners. The senate,
he says, receives nothing in return
for this courtesy to the legislators of
other lands.
The senate committee has taken,
as yet, no action upon the- McCor
mick resolution to tighten the rules,
but he intends to press the issue—
and particularly since the doors were
thrown open to Lord and Lady As
tor and to various dignitaries that
attended the conference on the limi
tation of armament. _
Comparatively Few
Children Affected
By Child Labor Rule
CHARLOTTE, N. C., May 16.
Less than 10,000 boys and girls can
be employed in the cotton mills of
North and South Carolina as a re
sult of the United States supremo
court’s decision making invalid the
federal tax on child labor products,
according to David Clarke, chairman
of the Southern 1 Cotton Manufac
turers’ association, here today.
“A majority of southern states
having large cotton mill interests al
ready have laws barring the employ
ment of children under fourteen
years of age,” Clarke pointed out.
“The two Carolinas and these
states have the largest number of
cotton mills, have such laws.
“Government figures show only
3,000 children under sixteen will be
affected in south Carolina and 6,000
in North Carolina.” - *
ALABAMA NOT AFFECTED
BY RECENT DECISION
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., May 16.
“The supreme court’s decision hold
ing the child labor law unconstitu
tional will only affect those states
with poor child labor laws,” Mrs.
W. L. Murdoch, official of the state
child labor department and promi
nent anti-child labor worker, declar
ed today.
Mrs. Murdoch said that the state
child labor laws in Alabama and
some dozen other states in the union
were superior to the federal law,
and, therefore, they will be unaf
fected.
“Alabama and a few other states
have laws covering all industries,”
she said, “while the federal law
touched only mines and manufac
turers.” ■

Os Jenkins County
Name Selling Agents
MILLEN, Ga., May 16.—The
North American Fruit Exchange is
to handle the selling end of the
Jenkins county crop of Irish po
tatoes, Bermuda onions, cucumbers
and other truck, while the East
Georgia Potato Growers’ association
will have charge of harvesting,
packing and shipping of these com
modities. Contracts were signed
Saturday by the association and S.
C. Hood, representing the exchange.
At a meeting of the truckers, to
gether with the members of the po
tato growers’ organization, arrange
ments were made for this organiza
tion to look after the shipping for
this year. The truckers expect to
have their own organization next
year.
At this meeting Mr. Hood ex
plained the method of selling used
by the exchange to secure more
than the market price for the com
modities that it, handles, and gave
the truckers othe’r information about
preparing and grading their prod
ucts for shipment.
This is the first year that Jen
kins county has gone into hte truck
ing business extensively. One hun
dred acres are planted in Irish po
tatoes, 75 in snap beans, 44 in Ber
muda onions, 42 in cucumbers and
500 in watermelons. The watermel
ons will be handled through the
Middle Georgia Melon association,
the exchange having charge
also of the selling end of this asso

AS 1 KNOW HIM
BY JOSEPH' P. TUMULTY.
CHAPTER XLII
Faith in Cause
So strong was his faith in his
cause and the people that even after
he fell ill he could not believe that
ratification would fail. What his
enemies called stubbornness was his
firm faith in the righteousness of the
treaty and in the reasonableness of
the proposition that the time to
make amendments was not prior to
the adoption of the treaty and by
one nation, but after all the nations
had agreed and had met together ,
for sober, unpartisan consideration
of ’alterations in the interest of all
the contracting parties and the
peace and welfare of the world.
Even when he lay seriously ill,
he insisted upon being taken in his
invalid chair along the White House
portico to the window of my outer
office each day during the contro
versy in the senate over the treaty.
There, day after day, in the coldest
possible weather, I conferred with
him and discussed every phase of
the fight on the bill. He would sit
in his chair, wrapped in blankets
and though hardly able, because of
his physical condition, to discuss
these matters with me, he evidenced
in every way‘a tremendous interest
in everything that was happening
in the capital that had to do with
the treaty. Although I was warned
bby Dr. Grayson and Mrs. Wilson
not to alarm him unduly by bring
ing pessimistic reports, I sought, in
the most delieate and tactful way
I could, to bring the atmosphere of
the hill to him. Whenever there
Was an indication of slightest rise
in the tide for the League of Na
tions, a smile would pass over the
president’s face, and, weak and
broken though he was, he evidenced
his great pleasure at the news. Time
and time again during the critical
days of the treaty fight, the presi
dent would appear outside my “of
fice, seated in the old wheel chair
and make inquiry regarding the
progress of the treaty fight on Capi
tol hill.
One of the peculiar things about
the illness from which the president
suffered was the deep emotion which
would stir him when word was
brought to him that this senator or
that- senator on the hill had said
some kind thing about him or had
gone to his defense, when some po
litical enemy was engaged .in bitter
ly assailing his attitude in the treaty
fight. Never would there come from
him any censure or bitter criticism
of those who weret opposing him in
the fight. For Senator Borah, the
leader of the opposition, he had high
respect, and felt that he was actu
ated only by sincere motives.
I recall how deeply depressed he
was when word was carried to him
that the defeat of the treaty was
inevitable. On this day he was look
ing more weary than at any time
during his illness. After I had read
to him a memorandum that I had
prepared, containing a report on the
situation in the senate, I drew away
from his wheel chair and said to
him: “Governor, you are looking
very well today.” He shook his
head in a pathetic way and said: “I
am very well for a man who awaits
disaster,” and bowing his head he
gave way to the deep emotion he
felt.
•A few days later I called to notify
him of the defeat ofethe treaty. His
only comment was, “They have
shamed us in the eyes of the
world.” Endeavoring to keep my
good nature steady in the midst of
a trying situation, I smiled and said:
“But, governor, only the senate has
defeated you. The people will vindi
cate your course. You may rely
upon that.”. “Ah, but our enemies
have poisoned the wells of public
opinion/’ he said. “They have made
the people believfe that the League of
Nations is a great juggernaut, the
object of which is to bring war and
not peace to the world. If I only
could have remained well long
enough to have convinced the people
that the League of Nations was their
real hope, their last chance, perhaps,
to save civilization!”
I said, byway of trying to '
strengthen and encourage him at |
this, one of the critical moments of J
his life —a moment that L knew was ■
one of despair for him—“ Governor, I '
want to read a chapter from the
third volume of your ‘History of the
American people,’ if it will not tire
you.” He graciously gave his con
sent and I took from under my arm
the volume containing an account of ■
the famous John Jay treaty, in the
defense of which Alexander Hamil
ton was stoned while he stood de
fending it on the steps of the New
York city hall. There was, indeed,
a remarkable similarity between the
fight over the John Jay treaty and
the Versailles treaty. I read an en
tire chapter of Woodrow Wilson’s
“History of the American Peoples,"
including the passage:
Slowly the storm blew off. The
country had obviously gained
more than it had conceded, and
tardily saw the debt it owed Mr.
Jay and to the administration,
whose firmness and prudence
had made his mission possible.
But in the meantime things had
been said which could not be
forgotten. Washington Wad been
assailed with unbridled license,
as an enemy and a traitor to
the country; had even been
charged with embezzling public
moneys during the revolution
was madly threatened with im
peachment, and even with assas
sination and had cried amidst
the bitterness of it all that “he
would rather be in his grave
than in the presidency.”
The country knew its real
mind about him once again when
the end of his term came and it
was about to lose him. He re

tion. His farewell address, with

esty and is solemn force of af
fection and admonition, seemed
an epitome of the man’s char
acter and achievements, and ev
ery man’s heart smote him to
think that Washington was ac
tually gone from the nation’s
counsels.
When I concluded reading this
chapter the president’s comment
was: “It is mighty generous of you
to compare my disappointment over
the treaty with that of Washing
ton’s. You have placed me in mighty
’good company.”
CHAPTER XLIII
Wilson—the Human Being
There is no one who wishes to
feel the camaraderie of life, “the
familiar touch,” more than Wood
row Wilson, but it seems that it
.cannot be so, and the knowledge
that it could not saddened him from
the outset of his public career.
I remember a meeting between us
at the governor’s cottage at Sea
Girt, N. J., a few hours aft ? the
news of his nomination for the presi
dency had reached us from Balti
more in 1912. In this little talk, he
endeavored in an intimate way to
analyze himself for my benefit. “You
know, Tumulty,” he said, “there are
two natures combined in me that
evefry day fight for supremacy and
control. On the one side, here is
Irish in me, quick, generous, im
pulsive, passionate, anxious always
to help and to sympathize with those
in distress.” As he continued his
description of himself, his voice took
on an Irish brogue,., “and like the
Irishman at Donnybrook fair, al
ways willin’ to raise me sheillalah
and to hit any head which stands
firnist me. Then on the other side,”
he said, “there is the Scotch—canny,
tenacious, cold and, perhaps, a lit
tle exclusive. - I tell you, my dear
friend, that when these two fellows
get to quarreling among themselves,
it is hard to act as umpire between
them.”
For every day of my eleven years’
association with Woodrow Wilson, I
have seen some part of these two na
tures giving expression to Itself. I
have witnessed the full play of the
Irish passion for justice and sympa
thy for the under-dog, the man
whom he was pleased to call the
“average man,” whose name never
emerges to the public view. I have
seen the full tide of Irish passion
and human sympathies in him flow
at some story of injustice which I
had called to his attention; that Irish
sympathy in him expressed Itself not
dramatically, but in some simple,
modest way; an impulse to lift some
one, to help an unfortunate person
in distress. That sympathy might
be expressed in the presence of some
father seeking pardon at the hands
of the president in behalf of a way
ward son, or some mother pleading
for the release of a loved me, or it
would show itself in full sway, as it
often did, when I called his attention
to some peculiar case that had
evoked my sympathy and pity. And
again I saw the Scotch rise in him
when an attempt would be made
by personal friends to influence his
action where it was evident to him
there was at the base of it some
hnt of personal privilege, of fav
voritism on grounds of friendship.
I saw the full sweep of that Scotch
tenacity during the war, in the very
midst of that bloody thing, at a time
when bitter ridicule and jeers were
his portion. Throughout it all he
was calm, imperturbed, undisturbed
by the frenzied passions of the mo
ment.
I saw him express the Irish sense
of gratitude in a striking \—y in the
White House in my presence as the
result of a conference in which the
participants were the president and
Senators Stone and Reed, both of
Missouri.
The incident arose out of Senator
Reed’s failure to get the president to
agree to appoint an intimate friend
of Reed’s, postmaster of St. Louis.
Charges, many of them unfounded,
1 had been made to the postmaster
j general’s office against the Reed can
1 didate, and, although Reed had made
many appeals to Postmaster General
Burleson to send the appointment of
his friend to the president for his
approval, Burleson refused to do so,
Reed thereupon brought his case
to the president. I remember how
generous and courteous the president
I was in his treatment of Reed and
j Stone on this occasion. Senator
Stone, in his usual kindly way, walk
ed over to the president and.putting
his hand on his shoulder, said:
“Now, Mr. President, I want you
to do this favor for my friend. Jim
Reed. Jim is a damned good fel
low.” •
The president laughingly replied:

“Why, senator, you just Know that
there is nothing personal in piy at
titude in this matter. I have no de
sire to injure or humiliate Senator
Reed, but the postmasters general
refused to recommend the appoint
ment of the senator's friend for the
St. Louis postmastership.”
The president then turned to Sena
tor Reed and said: “Senator, I will
tell you what I will do for you. 1
will allow you 10 name any other
man, outside of the one whose name
you have already suggested, and I
will appoint him at once without
making any inquiry or investigation
whatever as to his qualifications.
This I will do in order to convince
3ou that I have no personal feeling
whatever toward you in this mat
ter.”
But Senator Reed continued to
argue for the appointment of his
friend. The president was adamant.
Senator Stone and Senator Reed then
turned away from the president and
made their way to my office, which
was adjoining that of the president.
It was plain that the two senators
were deeply disappointed and high
ly displeased with the president. As
the president opened the door for the
senators to make their entrance into
my room, Senator Reed turned to
the president again and in the most
emphatic way said, “Mr. President,
Senator Stone told me before I came
to see you that you were not a cold
man and that you were a good fel
low. It was upon that hypothesis
that I took the liberty of appealing
to you personally in behalf of my
friend.” Senator Reed then contin
ued, and, in the most eloquent short
speech I have ever heard, said:
“They tell me that before you be
came governor of New Jersey you
had a fight at Princeton with the
trustees of that university. You,
better than any one else in this coun
try, know what it is to have a pack
of enemies at your heels. This is
what is happening in my friend's
case. My enemies in Missouri have
conspired to destroy this man be
cause he has been my friend and has
fought my battles for me. This man
whom I have asked you to appoint
has been my campaign manager. He
has "visited my home, we have been
life-long friends and I will stake my
life upon his reputation and upon
his standing. But because he has
been my friend he is now to be
punished and now by your action you
will complete the conspiracy that is
afoot to defeat and destroy him.”
The president then said: “But,
senator, I have tr.ed to convince
you that there is notning personal
in m>’ attitude, and that I will ap
point any other man you may
name.” Whereupon, Senator Reed
said: “If God Almighty Himself
asked mt to surrender in this fight
for my friend, I would not do it.
I think I know you well enough
to know that in the fight you had
for your ideals and your friends at
Princeton, you would not have sur-l
rendered to anybody. I am fight
ing now for the reputation and the
character of my friend, and you
ought not to ask me to surrender
him to his executioners.”
The president was standing with
his arms folded while the senator
was addressing him and was evi
dently deeply touched by Reed’s ap
peal. As Reed concluded his elo
quent speech in behalf of his
friend, quickly the president reach
ed out nis hand to Reed and said:
“Senator, don’t surrender your
friend; stick by him to the end and
I will appoint him." Whereupon he
turned from «the senators, walked
over to the telephone which stood
on my desk, called up the postmas
ter general and directed him to send
over to the White House at once
the appointment of Senator Reed’s
friend for the postmastership at
St. Louis. The postmaster general
protested, but was overruled by the
president. As the two senators left
my room, Senator Stone said to
Senator Reed: “By God, Jim, I
told you so. There is a great man
and a true friend. I told you he
was a regular fellow.”

Calomel is dangerous. It may sail,
vate you and make you suffer fear*
fully from soreness of* gums, ten*
derness of jaws and teeth, swollen
tongue and excessive saliva drib
bling from the mouth. Don’t trust
calomel. It is mercury; quicksilver.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con
stipated and all knocked out, just
go to your druggist and get a bottle
of Dodson’s Liver Tone for a few
cents, which is a harmless vegetable
substitute for dangerous crlomel.
Take a spoonful, and if it doesn’t
start your liver and straighten you
up better and quicker than nasty
calomel and without making you
sick, you just go back and get your
money.
If you take calomel you’ll
be sick and nauseated tomorrow; be
sides, it may salivate you, while if
you take Dodson’s Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great. No salts
necessary. Give it to the children
because it is perfectly harmless and
can not salivate. —(Advertisement.)
