LISTERINE TOOTH PASTE Larve Tube 25* Dr. Frank Crane Says: The Empty North One of the moitl striking passage* of that ancient collection of literature known an the Bible, in."He hangeth the north over an empty place." It is found in the Book of Job. The queer part of it is that astronomically the north is a somewhat empty place. In a measure you can see for yourself that there are not many stars in that direction. All this is called to mind when we road of General Nobile's flight over the Pole a short time ugo. He discovered again what had already been 4 discovered, that when you get to the North Pole you find nothing there? just frozen emptiness. Think of all these years that men have dreamed of getting to the North ' Pole, and striven for it, died for it. Whut does it amount to, after all ? It is simply a record to make, a Bort of impossible line to toe, but all those fanciful dreams of Simms, Hole, and the like, about there being an undiscovered country up there, are pure fiction. The only part of this globe that is habitable is the temperate zone, and in a measure the tropics. General Nobile's discoveries, as well as those of others, reveal that the deserts and the mountain ranges as pure waste. A deal of the universe, as fnr as we can see, is waste in the sense of not being habitable by man. We cannot live in the sens, and life is difficult in the high mountain ranges. Considering how vast is the universe. and how many of the stars ure simply blazing balls of fire utterly uninhabitable by any form of life, and how gigantic are the distances between the stellar bodies, and even what a great portion of this planet is not habitable, one's philosophy of life unconsciously limits the importance of mankind, and adds a new meaning to the exclamation; "When I consider Thy heavens, tho moon arid the stars which Thou hast ordained, what is man that Thou aft mindful of him, and the son of man that Thou visiteat hint?"

SENATOR BLAINE URGES ELECTION OF GOV. SMITH Republican Progressive Leader Tells Why He Will Vote for Democratic Candidate. United States Senator John J.

Senator Blaine's active support q] Governor Smith not only assures the Governor of Wiacotaim'ij electoral votes, but has materially strengthened his candidacy throughout the Middle West. By JOHN J. BLAINE (United States Senator from Wisconsin) Three weeks ago I said, "Mr. Hoo ver Is opposed to practically all of the policies of the great mass of Progressive Republicans and independent, forward thinking people of America. Since Mr. Hoover does not stand for the things for which I stand, I yrill not support him nor vote for him." Mr. Hoover is the incarnation of modern reaction. The sponsors of his campaign de peud upon bigotry, 1 n t o 1 eranee and puritanical hypoc rlgy to win. Today America needg a courageous and Independent leadership if our social and ecoDomic problems are to be solved In the Interests of the masses. Governor Smit.li, tin iiis ? w a i c r n campaign has spoken plainly, fearlessly and courageously. He has challenged corruption in high places. .He i has defied privilege in any form and has thrown to the winds every con iderafion of political expediency.

OulloKwhom Harsh implicated n hi# *.?n!i##ion to police detailing he germ.- "f holdup#, was returned ic?re eady today from Athena, Ga., a here lie wuh arrested yesterday ihortly after .attending a football fame, but the youths were not pernltted to talk with each other. While Harsh, according to A. Lanar Toole, chief of detectives, has nade a "full, honest and truthful confession," which he took full blame for the killings and declared Gallogly was the driver of the car in which they were tpaking their get-aways, ounsel has warned the youths not to talk further, and police declined to permit them to be interviewed. Additional evidence to substantiate Harsh's confession was secured toilay, Chief Toole said, when a 45calibre automatic police pis'tol said to have been used in the slaying was found at his home. A similar automatic was taken from Gallogly's carat Athens when he was taken into custody. While Harsh was still telling police details of the series of holdups, court authorities set in motion legal machinery to secure an early indictment. The solicitor general's office announced that the grand jury will be asked to return true bills against the two youths charging robbery or the seven or more business establishments held pp, in addition to murder indictments for the slaying of E. E. Meek, a grocery clerk, and Willard Smith, manager of a suburban drug store. The youths who were students at Oglethorpe University here, and members of wealthy and prominent families. Harsh, the son of the late George Harsh, wealthy shoe manufacturer of Milwaukee, Wis., made his home with a sister, Mrs. H. S. Sissosway, wife of a broker, and his.mother is expected to arrive here tonighv Gallogly is the stepson of Dr. Worth E. Yankey, a prominent physician, and is the member of an old family here. Well groomed, and apparently unconcerned, Harsh strolled about a cell block in the city jail today paying little attention to the other prisoners confined with him. Despite the fact! that police said both men were bearing up well, Gallogly lay on his cell bed, seemingly oblivious to all around him. Counsel for both refused to discuss the probable defense, stating that they had had no opportunity to talk at length with their young clients . They had, however, issued strict orders that neither was to make} any further public statement. Harsh's confession stated that the series of robberies, which resulted in a pair of murders, were committed to secure a "thrill" and that both he and Gallogly were under the influence of liquor when each of the holdups was staged, police said. The series of holdups covered by the confession extended over a period of less ,than three weeks, beginning ..n October ">, when the pair robbed :\ drug store and a coffee shop, both :n the vicinity of Emory University.
