To have waited for congress to act would have involved a delay that would have been fatal, for action would not have been gained until the ceeding period had passed. This is the great reason for the flexible provision of the tariff, which an opposition sing for political vantage ground against the president is trying to destroy invasion of the legislative function by executive pi ation. But as the president poinis cut, he does not act unless, and until, a tariff commission, in which both po- litfeal parties are represented in commissioners, has made research into the facts of costs of production at home and abroad and recommends an inerease or cut in duties. “Thus~his authority in the matter becomes a simple act of proclamation of the recommendations of the commission cr, on the other hand, a refucel to issue such a proclama- tion, amounting to a veto of the conclusions of the com- missicn, In no <euse, therefore, can it be claimed that the president can alter the tariff ct will, or that despotic power is conferred upon the cutive.

Some students of the political drift in the tariff form- ulation profess to detect in the Hoover pronouncement an offer to meet the framezs of the bill half way, They see in his way of stating his position the promise to ac- cept the bill which the senate will send to him—for it is quite likely that when it is passed the Hawley-Smoot act ‘will be the child of the upper chamber rather than of the house. “No tariff bill ever enacted has been or ever will be perfect,” the president asserts. “It will contain injustices, It is beyond human mind to deal with all of the facts eurrounding several thousand commodities under the necessary conditions of legislction and not to make some mistakes and create some injustices. It could not be otherwise.” ‘The president called for limited changes in the tariff in his special session message, but the changes made in be- half of industry, it is no secret, far outrun what Mr. Hoover felt was justified et this time.

In the old days the enormously prepon- derating majority were of the Pharisees, who saw the led traveler and cared not, but passed by on the other side. Today the Good Samaritan is beginning to dominate the situation. “In times past the answer to the question ‘Am I my | brother's keeper?’ was ‘No.’ Nowadays it begins to be “Ye: The very existence of the organization of which Dr. Biggar is the chief proves the correctness of his words.

Through ‘it, people band to- gether to put an end to the suffering of total strangers. Famine victims in China, hurricane victims in Porto Rico, flood victims in the Mississippi valley, earthquake ims in Asia Minor—all look to the Red Cross for help. ‘This is possible, as Dr. Biggar says, because there is more of the humanitarian spirit in the world now than ever before. And when you stop to examine this develop- ment, you find, interesting thing. The rise of neigh- 3, compassion or whatever you chose to call it, is partly a spiritual thing and partly a material thing. We are more thoughtful and considerate now than our forcfathers used to be—but it is casier for us than it was . We are closer to our neighbors than they were. ntury 2go Massachucetts and Georgia were farther 't than the United States and Brazil are today. Sci- ‘ence and invention have contracted all distances.

A century ago, though, the | whole process would have taken nearly a year. There is room for unbounded optimism here. As our 21 instincts develop, science and inventidn make it ster for us to exercise them. We ere beginning to real- ize, as Dr. Biggar says, that we are our brothers’ keepers, partly because we are getting more civilized and partly because modern means of trarisportation and communica- tion are simply compelling us to realize it. We are lifting ourselves to a new level, and the develop- ment of modern machinery is giving us a boost.

A properly furnished flat is a first essential, this organization contends. It budgets the $1000 nest egg as fol- lows: Living room furniture, $339.50; bedroom, $293.46; bathroom equip- ment, $21.60; silverwave, $53; china and glassware, $48. linen, $79.75; bed linens, $18.40; bed coverings, $27.25; kitchen equipment, $106.80. ‘This totals $969.74, leaving a slight margin for a honeymoon, * 8 ® EASY: SAID, BUT—.- - There is no question in my mind that young couples should have $1000 as a nest egg to begin marriage. But Iam wondering how small a pro- pertion of the great masses of work- ing men and women ever see $1000 at any time of their lives and how many work all their lives for less than $50 weekly. I have beer acquainted personally with numerous young couples who have gotten married on their salaries, starting in with practically no furni- ture and gradually building up a home. There is something heroic in these young souls, it seems to me. Some of them make a fine go of mar- riage; some separate. Most of these, however, had at least $50 a week salary. eee MONEYED MATRIMONY It is interesting to see a large body jof women offer an economic reason for the failure of marriage. More often than the average comfortably- situated person will admit, lack of {money is at the bottom of many fail- ures in marriage. It seems to me that this survey by the Federation should be considered in relation to minimum wage laws, government reports on what is needed for the average person to subsist de-| cently, and general wage levels. The last government figures placed the living wage at $28 plus. According to the New York Federation's figuring, this should be much higher if the thousands receiving it are ever to have the hopes of successful mar- riage realized. * * GRAVE HUMOR Something new in epitaphs appears on the huge granite tombstone which Dr. William P. Rothwell, of Pawtuck- et, has purchased for his own grave. “This is on me,” reads the inscrip- tion, carved there by the request of the physician. Instinctively one smiles. That is exactly what the doctor wants. Hav- ing seen so much of sorrow and mourning in his three score years, this very human man desires to cause none of it when he goes. It is selfish, he argues, to want folks to mourn you. Why not bring a smile to their lips, if possible? The inscription ts unusually apt, the doctor's friends contend, for he always has been a genial man ever ready to entertain, and has a reputa- tion for always reaching for the check. Epitaphs have been too standard- ized for ages. Why would it not be appropriate to have the writing on one's tombstone mean some personal thing? And, why isn't it an excellent idea to try to leave something cheery? o— | | BARBS e ? You probably have heard of Calvin Coolidge.

AnmT AUT SQUAWKIAS BUT I HEAR “WaT OF “TRYING “1% SELL MY CAR, TASKS THAT TEACH (By Alice Judson Peale) Every home can offer children the opportunity to do various small jobs and remunerate them. There are, for instance, leaves to be raked, the yard to be tidied, trash to be carried out, dishes to be dried and errands to be run. It is good for children to do work for which they are paid. Nothing else will so quickly teach them the value of money. child undertakes should be carefi selected. They should be neither long nor too difficult. They be the sort of thing that he or she is really able to do well. Discretion is necessary in determ: ining what tasks should be compen- eated with money. When the child does some chore should never be paid work as is required regarded simply as his share work of the family and the home. ‘The conditions of all work which is done for pay in the adult world, ideally at least, are that both em- ployer and employe should enter vol- untarily into the agreement. There should be a clear understand: ing of the amount and quality of work to be done with usually some stipulation to when it must completed. The agreement should | entered into in good faith with the understanding that the failure of either party to live up to his share voids the contract. ” MASOR INSTEAD Not RIDING . AROUND } FoR PLEASURE {~~ MY PURPOSE BUBBLING OUT POISONS There are many kinds of skin dis- orders, some of which are caused from outside infection, but the larg- est number come from disorders in- side of the body. Eczema is one of the commonest of skin troubles, and occurs with small babies and at any other age right up to extreme old age. The word “eczema” is from the Greek, meaning “to bubble out.” ‘There is a strong evidence to believe that when eczema comes from 8 dis- ordered blood stream, the toxic impur- ites causing the trouble are literally bubbling out through the small ves- ieles which appear on the surface of the skin. There are over seventy known trade eczemas, such as the chocolate dip- Per’s, the dyer's, etc. These usually settle on the hands or wrists, and must be considered at least partly due to outside infection. The crust which forms on the baby’s scalp is really a form of ccze- ma due to an toxic state of the blood in the young child. This must come from wrong feeding, either from the mother’s breast or from ar- tificial formula feeding. These ecze- mas of childhood are’ always easily cured through putting the child on @ proper diet.

F. D. writes: “When Iwas a year old I had whooping cough, and from the coughing 1 lost almost all hearing in one ear. A doctor told me it would be almost im-’ possible for me to ever hear in that ear again, for he said one of the nerves had been deadened and the drum was too weak. Do you think it is possible for me to regain hearing in that ear? Or do you think I have waited too long? I am 20 years old.” Answer: Your trouble may be caused by the closing of the eustach- jan tube which admits air from the throat into the inner ear. It is often possible to relieve the stoppage by curing any excessive catarrhal condi- tion. This can be accomplished by dieting. I have seen several cases of deafness caused by cough which have been cured t! chiro- other, it is possible that the nerve supply will be almost completely shut off.
