Never was there a plainer case of an attempt, to whitewash . . .

It is entirely at variance with Mr. Jonas’ confession in the same statement that “I have never met or spoken to Senator Nye or any other mem ber of ilie committee in my life.” If Mr. Jonas assumes his ability to read the motives of the Nye com mittee without ever bothering to discuss ihe matter with members of * that committee, then we may rea sonably imagine that lie is equally presumptious in some of the testi mony that he gratuitously offers in the case against ttie election offi cials in North Carolina, “From tins distance U looks to us as if Hon.

Kightly and Oftentimes Mistakenly Become Victims of Inferiority Complexes. i L IWARREW K Cuff Sr.NORA HARI£ De Land a Mfts Betty Cc-iff m jf Mary Amende* a Nev Yor!:. — The "Orem-Eyed Monster ’ fun been tracked to his lair. Not only that. He, has been dragged forth into the light of day and subjected fo the most undigni fied treatment that a self-respect ing monster has ever been called upon to endure. .Jealousy, which we have hither too regarded as one of the prime .actors of love- or, yes, we have. How many times have you heard it said: "There’s no love without jeal ousy?”—has been dissected and analyzed under the x-ray of psy chology and proved to be just a big i false alarm. In other words, a mere Inferiority complex Tire tnlnd say the psychologists —-has a peculiar kink. Ego being supreme In all the acts and behav ior of men and women, when It is spurned, belittled, or made to feel ;conscious that it Isn't what Its own er had appraised it to be, then it turns t» fury on the object that un masked it. A notable case of “ego-jealousy” was that of Senora Marie dc Lan ds. Mexican beauty winner, who shot Oen. Moses Vidal, when she discov ered that he had neglected to men | * ion (he wife lie had in the back ground. Andre Trldon. noted American psychologist, relates an incident that took place in a western ham let. An innkeeper had a young wife whom he could not Induce to come to bus hotel and help to run it. She always had some excuse—bed weather. Ur health, and so on. j Then came a young guest to the inn. During one of her infrequent visits the young wile met him and ; from that moment she was a reg- j ular visitor, until the inevitable end- j Ing in the divorce court. What, impressed the psychologist j most was the fact thut in the course of the trial the indelicate derails of i his wife's behavior did not anger the husband as much as did her! "coming to the hotel regularly from the day that young loafer arrived there." In other words, he did not mourn the loss of his beautiful,! young wife as much as the Injury he felt from the proven fact that she preferred the "young loafer" to his august self and the resultant deflation of the balloon of his self esteem. A Swiss psycho-analyst, who hes studied the cases of 120 of his neu rosis (Jealousy) patients—an equal number of wives and husbands- re ports that out of that number only in eight. instances were there grounds for jealousy, and that In 112 cases his patients acquired neu rosis simply through inferiority completes. There are two kinds of Jealousy, both of which are classed by psy chologists as nerve diseases. One is that attributed to jex. It U har- j bored by both sexes, who. some-! times rightly but more often mis takenly, become victims of inferior ity complex. The other, which Is more virulent and often ends in tragedy and crime. Is a complex to possess, to exhibit power, force, to be able to boast. It Is not always sexual. , A man who is a victim of this complex may be bitterly Jealous of a woman to whom he la lndiffer em or whom he may even hate. It may not even be a woman of whom he is jealous; he may he jealous of the success of a friend or a former colleagup. This complex is not as frequent among women as among men. Scv jealousy is responsible for at lea t 90 percent of neurosis among women. But men usually pour forth tin vials of wrath upon the object of their grievance and thus avoid serious damage to their nerves. It was “sex-jealousy" that drove Warren Cliff, painter, of Atlantic City, “frantic.” so that, he murder etl his wife, Betty, and tried to take his own life. Unconscious realization by man or woman that he or she has ceas ed to appeal, Charm or thrill his ot her mate, subconsciously leads to the illusion that an outsider is chal lenging her, or his, exclusive affec tion. Vianna psychologists, who have examined tens of thousands of pa tients of both sexes, have come-to the conclusion that, In the great majority of Instances, jealous pa tients have created third parties In their own minds, and so firmly is the belief fixed that they will go to any length to prove the actuality of the phantoms of their own mak ing. The marriage of enduring bliss can, according to the above find ings, bo conrummated only when the contracting parties possess equal degrees of physical, social and In tellectual qualities. When either one of the mates betrays a gross lack of any of these, the union will even tually end In sex jealousy or ego jealousy—or both. Rome, Genoa—Birthplace Of Columbus—Monte Carlo (Another of a series of articles by Miss Kathleen Herd on her trip abroad.) We’re setting father away from the earthquake, soon we were In the last Italian city. Geona, which 1; famous for It is the birthplace of one who ventured forth across the Atlantic with his three small sail boats -Christoph»r c5)himbus. Be-! fore we got to Genoa, we had a lovely ride on the train from Rome, for there were so many old castles, old roads, beautiful mountains and other interesting views, one espec ially. tire Leaning: Tower of: Pisa; it stands, or leans, in the city of Pisa, it Is a round, marble belfry, 179 ft. In height, erected in the latter part of the twelfth century. It seems that our train kept circling around the Tower, for we got to see It on all sides. We were on the train all day and until 8:30 that night, so when we sot to Genoa, tt was almost dark. It has a population of 700.000 people, a much larger and more beautilul city than we expected. It is situated oil the Gulf of Genoa, and is on the slope of the Ligurian Alps. Our hotel was the finest in Italy, at least, that Is what several told us, and it must have been, for it looked like a cattle Inside. Nancy and i had the most gorgeous room— the walls were red and gold and the | furniture was so dark it looked .black, and of course, the balcony was there; from it we had a good view of "Genoa at night.” All'of the floors are marble, each in dif ferent colors and designs. You see, marble is very plentiful In Italy, so I suppose that’s why in almost all the hotels they have marble floors. ’The manager took us to the Royal [Suite, it was made up of three rooms, bedroom, private dining room and sitting room. Next morning a crowd of us found out where Columbus’ home was, so we got a taxi and drove out to It. Jin the old part of the city iwhere i his birthplace Is! the streets are cobblestones and made very narrow. However, in the newer part tfyere are wide paved streets. The house in which our discoverer was born is made of granite and looks to be about 40 feet high, and it is made perfectly square. Vines have grown all over it, but it is still standing and really doesn't look like It has been built so long. Our taxi driver showed us many monuments in Genoa of Columbus. When we got back to the hotel one of the girls came up to me and asked me to go ask a certain man. standing at the desk, If he wasn’t William Powell, the famous screen star, I looked at him and Just knew It was he. but I didn't have the nerve to ask him. I thought of the manager, so I ran to him and he told me It was Mr. Powell and that he was checking out of the hotel then, for his boat sailed for the U. S. in one hour. A crowd of us went to him and ask him if he would sign in our passports. He was kind enough to do it, but blushed anti seemed terrible bashful. All of us were thrilled to death to have his autograph We followed him to the taxi and he waved good-bye. Next we went to Nice, Prance, which is a famous resort on tlie Mediterranean Sea. We stayed in Nice two days. It was there we bought perfume and powder so cheap. One afternoon was spent at Monte Carlo The drive from Nice over to the famous resort city and great gambling center, was one of’ the most scenic drives we had on the whole tour. It is known as the Grand Comiche Drive and is twenty miles from Nice to Monte Carlo. The road is very much like our highways; it is pared. Our guide showed us many homes of rich' Americans who spend the winter months in and around Monte Car lo. Monte Carlo is in the principality of Monaco (the accent > is on the flr«* syllable. Mo’ a co instead of Mo nac’ o; the latter is the way all of us pronounced It. but we learn ed differently.) It is noted for Its Casino and games where miiMous of dollars are lost and won. The Casino is on a promontory on the east side of the city. It has a fully supplied reading room, and widely known “saile de fetes (festival room) and salles de Jen (gaming rooms) We all went in and tried our luck; it was fun, but we didn’t play but about ten francs each. It is very in teresting and is more quiet than I expected, more older people too. I thought the majority would be young folks, but it was different, and believe me, they take it seriously. hate In the afternoon we came j back to Nice and that night we* walked down town. It was here we bought- a New York Times and read1 of the horrible earthquake. All of! us got one to keep as a souvenir.; Then, we wired home and told our j families we were all right. Several, days before that Daddy Dorsey had! sent me a cable as soon as he read I of it in the paper, but we left Rome before it reached us. so I didn’t get it until we got to Paris. It was aw ful of us keeping our families In suspense, but we were so excited we thought they knew we were all right or we would have wired them. From Nice we went to Avignon, which used to be the seat of the! Popes. Here we stayed at the ho el] that Napeoleon stayed when he was' down there. We saw the key to hid room and also his signature, dor'1 know whether it was for registering or not, It was in a frame and the hotel people seeme dawfully proud of it. The town is surrounded by a wall, which, of course, makes it look queer, but we weren’t there long enough to find out much. Just spent the night and left early next morn ing for Gay Pared!

Ten of them were caught In the trap, ten American boys who had Joined the Marine corps and gone to Nicaragua to fight Sandino’s, bandit*. But now they were ambushed, sur rounded, outnumbered thirty to one Bandit rifles were cracking, and a bandit machine gun was chattering. Against these hopeless odds they battled desperately until after two hours, the last, man of the detail fell. When rescuers reached the sph quiet now. they found the bodies of eight, mutilated by bandit mach etes. The two others both wounded had been overlooked. Eleven of the enemy were 'lain. Thus, say the dispatches, did the Nicaraguan situation flare into new lhtensity on the last day of 1930 And again we have a session of the debate that has been Intermittent since 1926, when our Marines were sent to Nicaragua to maintain or der: Shall we withdraw or not? But this is not the only Central American worry oil Washington’s mind. Panama staged a ten-nour revolution on January 2, we read, throwing out. President Arosemena, and naming Dr. Harmodio Arias as Provisional President until the re turn of the ‘ constitutional Presi dent,” Dr. Ricardo J. Alfaro, min ister to the United States.

A few days later two more Marines were wounded by bandits in a wilderness clash. Washington registered an instan taneous reaction. As soon as the senate met, Senator Johnson. * ol California, ottered a resolution con cerning our relations with Nicaragua since 1924. It passed without debate. Then Senator King, of Utah, in troduced another resolution that “it is the sense of the senate that the Marines should be immediately with drawn.” "It is a bad thing” he said according to the dispatches, “to send bayonets to support American in vestments.” With this opinion many editors agree. But others Insist that oui present force off 1,000 must be kept there until their work is complet ed. Some call far “an adequate force or none.” "These eight deaths should end tire whole Nicaraguan farce, as staged by our state department," declares the Camden Courier-Post, spokesman for one side— “The protestations that our men are down there hunting bandits is only a pious pretense; they ere down there, from ail indications, to protect Americans’ rights in the proposed Nicaraguan canal. And it is high time that Washington ad mitted the fact. Eignt more lives lost can not be justified by talk of chasing bandit',. If that Is to be the province of the United States Marine oorps. the bandit chasing should begin at home.. "It will be difficult enough to Justify those deaths on a frank military basis, on at least the hon est ground that they were protest ing American rights, working for Uncle Sam, end not for President Moncada. "When will Secretary Stlmson end the whole sham surrounding the presence of our troops in Nica ragua?” But "the Marines were not sent to Nicaragua to serve political ends of this government or to protect American investments" Is the flat statement of the Philadelphia Ev ening Bulletin, speaking for the other side— “They were sent in order to let the people of Nicaragua, forced by tho thousands to fight in civil wars in which they had no interest, have a chance to elect and install a con- j stltutional government without in terference of military factions or bandits. "Intervention for that purpose was asked oy both the leading par ties, and the retention of the Ma rbles has since been requested by the lawful Nicaraguan governmer.t. This government has withdrawn as many as seemed prurent, and will gladly take the rest out as soon as possible. "But It can not risk wrecking all that has been done to bring about peace and orderly conditions the e, and above all it can not scuttle out at this time before the renewed challenge of bandit attacks. "The Marines must and will carry on in the traditional spirit of tire corps until they can safely and honorably be withdrawn.” "Thirty thousand homeless in New York.” An American citizen is ‘ ruly in a bad fix when he has no home to stay away from.—Newark i I Journey’s End oi Epic Glider Flight Maurice Collins, daring young glider pilot, seated in his craft just after completing the first flight by glider from a mountain range sum mit to a licensed city airport.

What Do You Wonder About? (Spencer Murphy in Salisbury Post.) It is terribly hard to concentrate upon any one particular thing when one is wondering about so many things. I wonder why the government doesn't charge a higher price for stamped envelopes as one means of wiping out the annual postal de ficits government stamped envelop es—the cost of stamps being equal in any case—cost only about a tenth of what envelopes of similar quality would cost from any other source; maybe it would be "putting the government in business."

Lots of people think that hog cholera is the only disease that causes losses among swine and for this reason believe that the injec-! tion hug cholera serum would curt1! all hoir diseases and are disr ppoint-1 ed when this does not happen. There are quite a number of oth er swine diseases that may be mis taken for hog cholera and in many cases it takes a real good veteri ni'ian to distinguish between the va rious troubles the hogs have. Some! of the most common diseases are: necrotic entritis. Mortality in this I disease is high and like many oth- ] crs, can easily be mistaken for hog cholera. Plenty of hogs have pneumonia caused from exposured to cold, wet weather, inhalation of irritating | medicines or dusts, injuries andi sometimes to a parasite which pass es through the lungs in its life cy cle, This, too, may be mistaken for hog cholera and so may swine in fluenza. This flu, however, is ’not l nearly so highly fatal as some ol the other diseases and very often it is hard to determine the cause ol that disease. Another genii disease affecting swine is the plague and. tuberculosis visits many herds also. So, you see, swine are affected by many diseases which may be mistaken for cholera. Older Farmers Learn. The old saw—“You cant teach old dogs new tricks”—just ain't so, or, at least, it does hot apply to people because not long ago some agricultural extension workers worked out some interesting data on farm improvements made by ."armers Of different ages. Information is available on the extent to which farmers and farm women on 138 non-selected farms in rep esentative sections of Kans-1 as, Michigan, Rhode Island and j Illinois have put into practice the j teachings of the extension service i and on the ages of farmers and j farm women. It was found that in spite of any lessened physical activity due to advancing age, nearly as high a proportion of the farme.s over fifty years of age mcde use of informa j tion derived through the county | agents or other representatives of the extension service as those of less than fifty years or age. The farmers between the ages of 31 and 40 made the largest percentage of changes and those between 51 and 11 were mighty close behind. •. > Among the women, the very young, farm women and the older rge groups did not change practices quite as extensively as age groups between 31 to 45 years. Anyhow', this data tends to dis pute the old idea that learning is largely rssow ate with youth and it is mighty interesting to know that the many middle-aged and slightly older farm folk on these farms put nto practical use the information they gathered. Who Started Mayonnaise? Nearly everybody is familiar with mayonnaise and we don’t know what the women of the country did to prepare meals and salads before this dressing was discovered. ^ Mayonnaise, like many other foods of commercial importance, or iginated as a home product. House wives and other purveyors of foods, endeavoring to prepare a salad dressing of desirable quality, early took advantage, of the fact that a combination of eggs and r, vegetable oil, ill the proper proportions, would when rapidly sti"red or beaten, pro duce a desired emulsion. It was also found that such an emulsion, with the addition of cer tain condiments and spices, would be semi-solid fairly stable, and pal atable. Today, mayonnaise is manu factured in large quantities and many housewives have mastered the art of making it themselves. Many oils are used for the mak ing of mayonnaise, among the most common being cotton seed oil, corn and sesame oil. This is a wholesome food and its discoverer is due the thanks of many.

Raskob Will Be A 1932 Issue Washington'—Mr. John J. Ras kob again will find himself a political issue in 1932. The Re publicans will make the most of him. as they did in 1928 and tried with less success in 1930. Nevertheless, it does seem as if the democratic national chairman were unlikely to prove as big a lia bility to his party as he has been an asset. Or anywhere near it, un less Raskob makes himself a bigger issue than he now is. Mr. Raskob is the party's nice big sugar daddy. It is he who has been putting up nearly all the money which has enabled it to operate with an able, effect ail-the-year-around party organization which has func tioned so well in hammering away at the administration and in wag ing the congressional campaign last fall He both created and financed that organizationOnly $15,000 in contributions to the party were re ported for 1930. where as the receipts were *619,000. Party Owes $628,000 The party now owes $628,000. of which $225,000 is due Mr. Raskob and $403,000 to the County Trust company of New York in which Ras kob and Alfred E. Smith are heav ily Interested, Raskob advanced $180,000 in 103C and also contribut ed $20 000 directly to congressional campaigns. Well, you see how important Rss kob has been to the Democrats While providing it with new sinews of war he has also cut down its deficit substantially. No party has ever been so indebted to a single "angel.'’ No wonder that you never hear nny more audible criticism of Raskob within the Democratic party. But the Republicans are going to remind you of it. Last fall they whooped up the fact that in three summer months Mr. Raskob had '‘lent" the party $40,000 while other contributions totaled $150. Charge Raskob Owns Party. The Raskob financing gives them the chance to say that Raskob has bought the Democratic party and now owns it. They will shout to the country that it is a very bad thing for one man to own a political party that Mr. Raskob is especially unfit ted to be owning a party and that the Republicans are the party of the people. All of which will not do the Democrat.; any good, but they can still afford to be thankful to Mr. Raskob. It will be charged that Raskob. in return for his financing, expects to be made secretary of the treasury and perhaps really control the White House and that anything of the kind would be pretty awful. A great deal will be heard about the Raskob ’plot" to seize the govern ment. And much about the Raskob “plot” to upset the 18th amendment. On the other hand Raskob's friends will depict him as a noble soul, full of altruism and devotion to the public good. Although he is an ex-Republiran who took the Democratic chairmanship through devotion to his friend A1 Smith, they will assert that he is now a splendid type of Democrat of whom ail hands ought to be proud. Didn't Relish Defeat. Of course there is another pos sible explanation of Raskob. No. millionaire business man with Ras kob’s record of success would relish the Democratic defeat in 1928. The personal attacks for which Raskob came in, partly because he was a Catholic, might have caused Mm to quit in disgust after the eamoaicR. And they might have im bued him—perhaps did—with a grim determination to fight on t > a Democratic victory, if only for the intense personal satisfaction of a big hard job done well. Men have spent millions for more frivolous and useless purposes than the suc cess of the Democratic party. But Raskob's position can become much more delicate than it is. Al ready there are fears and predic tions that the Democrats will have to take his hand-picked candidate There have been some indication . though not unmistakable, that Ras kob would seek the nomination of Owen D. Young of the General El ectric. Young would be acceptaole to many Democrats but anathema to many others who worry about the "power trust" and the domin ation of big business in politics.
