Such support means very little to the average individual but in the aggregate it may mean much to the fellow in need of aid. | Too Many Lawyers? | In dedicating Yale's new univer- sity of law buildings, Attorney Gen- eral Mitchell declared that there is a surplus of lawyers and the resuit-| ant competition has lowered profes-| sional standards. He is undoubtedly right. When one person in every 862 of the population of the United States 4s practicing law, it is not surprising] that some cities and even small towns, have a fine collection of shysters, liti-| gation stimulators and pettffoggers. “We might gain,” said Mr. Mitchcell.| “if we could do with our overproduc- tion of lawyers what the Brazilians) have recently done with their over- production in coffee, dump the poor- er grades overboard.” It is most apparent to many learned members of the bar that in few pro- fessions are there so many misfits as in the practice of law. When Mr. Mitchell urges that col- leges raise their standards so the in- efficient and incapables cannot en- ter the profession, he is doing the entire bar a fine service. Borah and Silver Senator Borah has asked President ‘Hoover to call an international con- ference to consider the feasibility of adopting bimetallism as a media of exchange. The President is reluc- tant to commit himself on the sug- gestion and administration leaders do not hesitate to declare for gold as the best monetary standard as far as this nation is concerned. Idaho's political sage is a firm be- liever that there is a tide in the af- fairs of men which, properly seized, leads on to victory. In times of de- ‘pression a manipulation of the cur- rency system may lead to inflation and from such a narcotic adminis- tered to sluggish business there might result a flurry or even a _ business boom. Borah is always chasing after legislative paliatives and panaceas. It was he who unfortunately suggest- ed Hoover's special session of con- gress, the action of which has done) more to plague the administration than anything else. The White House probably scrutinizes Borah’s| suggestions as the ancient Trojans! did the gift-bearing Greeks. Senator Borah, like Jim Watson of Indiana, has 1932 in sight. Watson | wants to prevent a tax increase and| suggests the federal treasury continue to borrow until good times are re- stored and taxes from increased busi- ness volume sends the deficits scamp- ering. Suggestions of Watson and Borah are nice-sounding politica! sophistry. History records no in- stance where lowering monetary standards served anything but im- mediate ills and the limit of federal borrowings probably will be reached| long before the Watson good times} arrive. President Hoover is not being rushed off his feet by either sugges- ticn. It may be that political ex- pediency will prevent any tax revi-! sion upward at the next session, but there must be the most rigid kind of economy in all forms of appropria- tions if the budget is to be balanced. Such action would be much more ef- ficacious than adopting the Borah or the Watson way out. Unless the fed- eral government ceases to spend mon- | With more interest.

There are times when nations must digress from strict adherence to a} gold standard.

No political move since th stirring war times has been fray the empire. Whether there will be a new party alignment is not clear. There are some who would like to retain the present cooperation cabinet as the} national party. Whether Tories, to- | erals and Labor leaders can agree on such a coup is problematical. | The labor die-hards will have noth- ing of the idea. They wil) remain crusaders to the last and as far 2s they are concerned MacDonald ana Snowden have deserted their ranks and can no longer be called re; sentatives of labor. Snowden declared early in the pol- itical crisis that he would not be a candidate and that his parliamentary career was over. There is the sug- gestion, however, that both he and MacDonald may be raised to the peerage and sit in the House of Lords so their services may be retained by the government.

Personal! political ambitions and party fealty have all been forgotten in an at- tempt to balance the national budge: and restore England's trade balance. | Seeking To Restore Confidence! President Hoover's latest confer- ence may scrve to restore confidence in the ability of governments to cope with economic conditions. Plans, #3 announced, are rather indefinite and the objective, while definite, is not easy of accomplishment. It is not a charity program at ail but @ movement initiated by indus- trial leaders under the guidance of the Hoover administration. The con-| § ference seeks to evolve a plan that will thaw out frozen assets and re-| establish credit upon a better basis. It is hoped, by releasing great sums of capital, now dormant, that the| wheels of industry will be caused to| revolve and there will be more jobs) and more business for everyone. A great cooperative effort among business men generally is worth try-! ing out. In conjunction with this! effort there should be a regulation of! short-selling on the stock exchanges! of the nation. At times the exchang- es have taken action to halt the raids of the bears. While the capitalists are seeking to release capital and| ease up credits, the prevention of| short selling should not be over- looked. It is an essential part of ay Program to restore economic nor- maley. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's polici: Hoover Sticks to Gold (New York World-Telegram) President Hoover has spoken out Promptly and wisely against the lat- est drive of silver-producing states for bimetallism. We have enough worrles already without stumbling and chasing after the silver mirage. That the temporary departure of Great Britain and some other Euro- pean countries from the gold stand- ard has complicated international fi- nance and trade no one will deny. Nor will any informed person deny that foreign inflation, if carried far énough, may drive the United States: to some form of inflation in self-pro- tection. But that is a far cry from bimetal- lism, Great Britain is expected to return to the gold standard—either by de: valuation of the pound or at the oid rate. Germany already has estab- lished a new currency on gold and is not apt to flirt with a worthless- mark disaster again. France has very successfully devaluated the franc on @ gold basis. Any American decision now would be premature. But if the United States, in order to meet competition with Great Britain and other foreign countries, is forced to permit a lim- ited and controlled inflation, that can be done by the government bond route without dangerous tampering with our gold standard. >——————_—_______+ BARBS | HF Wtih stocks rising after wage cuts, we are led to suspect that there is something, after all, to the truism that the rich get rich and the poor get poorer. ee California, it is reported, may build a dirigible larger than the Akron.

When four months old Norma begins work again manusert, at Christmas and calls free quently, NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XLI ‘ORMA earned $95 during the six weeks she typed manuscripts for Frederick Stuart, The sum went to Chris as a first payment on the amount she had borrowed. The original loan of $250 was mounting astonishingly. “Lots of time to pay it,” Chris always said carelessly when Norma spoke about the debt. Chris would never present a detailed statement of the money she had spent though she was always promising to do s0. Norma’s own accounting told her the sum was close to $1000. The $95 was the barest beginning —little more than enough to pay Norma’s share of the rent and food bill for the six weeks. That was the hopeless part of being in debt. Most of what Norma could earn would be gobkled up by immediate expenses, It was becauso this problem was never far from her mind that Nor- ma welcomed the opportunity that came the second week in February even though it involved separation from baby Mark. Jennie Clark,’the girl who had taken Norma’s place as Stuart's secretary, resigned on short notice, Jennie explained she could return to the office where she had been let out when the staff was reduced. She said she liked the first job better and that this time ft would be permanent. Chris Saunders, whose knowledge was amazing con- sidering the fact sho never asked Personal questions, told Norma the reason Jennie wanted to go back to the other office was because a young man in whom she was inter- ested worked there, When Jennie announced she was leaving Stuart telephoned Norma and offered her the job, That same afternoon she went down town and told him she could start work the trusted to carry out Norma’s in- 2 ANE GUILTY, following week. The problem of caring for Mark had been easily arranged. For $6 each week Mrs. Carey, who lived across the hall, agreed to keep the baby during the hours Norma would be away. Mrs. Carey had no cbil- dren. She was fond of them and before her marriage had worked as a practical nurse. A pleasant, con- scientious woman, she could be structions exactly and she wel- comed the chance to earn even 50 small an amount. When Norma told Frederick Stu- art she could come back to work as his secretary, she added, “I’m go- ing to have to ask for more money, Mr. Stuart. I want $35 a week. I think I'm worth it and if any man- uscripts come in to be typed I can do them in addition to the other work. I had lots of time before that I might just as well have been typing. You see I haven't just my- self to think about now. I have to make more moncy.” For a moment Stuart frowned. “This is a poor timo to be increas- ing salaries,” he said, “but—well, T'll pay you $35! Yes, and I think you'll earn it! Be here at nine on Monday.” Norma told him she would be there. During the ride home on the street car she tried to compute men- tally how long, at §35 a week, it would take to pay the money she owed Chris. For one thing that debt would not be growing larger mow. She could pay her way and little Mark’s. Whatever it was pos- sible to save would be paid to Chris, eee rT was hard Monday morning to leave the baby. Sharp doubts plagued Norma all through the day. Suppose Mrs. Carey didn’t get his formula just right! Suppose she should leave Mark alone. Even in five minutes he might wriggle from the bed and hurt himself. Norma remembered how Junior Baker had been scalded. She suffered harrow- ing moments of despair. When the lunch heur arrived she telephoned to ask the landtudy’s daughter to go upstairs and ask Mrs. Carey how Mark was getting along. . Norma was informed that the baby was sleeping. Notring at all eventful hed happened. Mrs. Carey reported Mark was. “getting along fine.” At 5:45 Norma reached the top of the stairs and burst breathlessly into the apartment. “The baby—is right—?” “Bless his little heart!” said Mrs. Carey. “He hasn't been a bit of trouble. Good as a regular little angel all day! 1 did everything the way you sald, Mrs. Travers, I gave him his bottle at three o'clock and he went to sleep when he'd finished it. Look at him!” Mark's wide blue eyes considered his mother with interest. He wiggled a foot and gurgled con- tentedly. Norma, down on her knees be- side the bed, felt a wave of over- whelming relief. There was tiny Mark exactly as she bad left him. No frightful accident. No unfor- Pseen tragedy. The baby was as everything all happy and safe as it she had been “Thank you, Mrs. Carey,” Norma said, rising to her feet. “I—I couldn’t help but feel worried. It’s the first day I've ever left him, you know! You've taken beautiful care of him and I’m not going to let myself worry any more. I'll see if I can’t be home a little earlier to- morrow night.” “Well, I'll just run along since you're here. I'll have to be get- ting the supper—” Mrs. Carey dis- appeared without finishing the sen- tence. i Chris arrived a few moments later and the two girls were soon busy preparing their own evening meal, Schooling herself not to worry over the baby’s welfare was the hardest part of Norma’s new schedule. She liked working with Stuart. It was true Jennie Clark had been slack about keeping the fies in order. Other tasks that should have been attended had been neglected. The accumulated work made Norma's first days in the office snusually busy ones. Still there were agonizing moments when she pictured Mark tossing and feverish from some sudden, mysterious illness or his iittle body shaking with sobs, undble to tell what ailed him, N Saturday afternoon at the end of her first week’s work Norma took the baby to the hospital clinic. She learned with a mingling of shock and thankfulness that Mark still kept his rating of perfect health. During the first six months of his life he had not been ill once. It astounded Norma to realize that another person could care for her son exactly as well as she could. Almost she felt dismayed. The shock of this discovery passed im- mediately. She told Chris that baby Mark, by keeping up such a splendid health record, was doing his part to improve the family for- tunes. Chris liked the baby, played with him and worried over him almost as much as Norma. “He's going to be spoiled—and spoiled badly,” Chris predicted, “but honestly, who could help it? He's getting cuter every day.” Bob Farrell continued to pay an occasional visit and gifts for Mark often served as the excuse for these calls. “Here's something I thought might amuse young Skeezix,” he would say, handing over a package which might contain anything from a toy pop gun to rubber blocks. Practically every plaything he brougbt was for a much older child. When Mark regarded them with wide-eyed unconcern they were placed away for future use. The girls accused Bob of buying the contraptions because he htm- self found them entertaining. Far- rell always grinned and pleaded guilty to these accusations. Twice he was invited to dinner at the apartment—both times on Sunday when Chris and Norma had the entire day at home. Whenever there was any task around the apartment requiring a man’s skill, when the electric iron refused to operate or a piece of furniture be- came unsteady Bob put it in order. LAURA LOU || BROOKMAN Author of | “MAD MARRIAGE” attend\a musical comedy--a very good one just on from New York. Chris and Norma accepted but on § the evening of the performance | By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association One of the most common cymptoms of which people complain is ringing in the ears. and the condition is difficult to con- trol. In @ recent survey of the subject, Mr. R. L. Wegel classifies this con- dition into two types: those in which the tinnitus, or ringing, is due to me- chanical causes resulting in actual Sound, such as that due to spasmodic contraction of the muscles; and the second type which originates in the internal ear and which seems to be largely a nervous phenomenon. ‘Wegel feels that people without this symptom are extremely rare; that, in fact, everyone has ringing in the ears at one time or another, but that most People are usually not aware of it until it gets so loud as to interfere considerably with hearing weaker sounds. ‘Wegel made a study of his own hearing with a view to finding out just how much ringing actually oc- curred. The studies were made with the most delicate types of electrical devices, and he found that some ring- ing occurred frequently, although not ‘There are several causes Daily Health Service | RINGING IN THE EARS NOW IS VERY COMMON SYMPTOM | Study Has Disclosed Many Reasons for This Ailment heard because of more appreciable sounds. Ringing in the ears sounds most frequently like the noise that is heard when a seashell is placed at the ear, although in some cases the noise may be ringing, singing, buzzing, ticking, hissing or whistling. If there is any inflammation in the ear with increased amount of blood passing through the tissues, the sounds are increased when the patient lies down. On the other hand, if the patient 1s anemic, the sounds are likely to be increased when the head is elevated. Ringing in the ears may also be in- duced by a smart blow on the ear, by the presence of water, wax or other substance in the external ear canal. j Obviously the first method of treat- ment of this symptom is careful ex- amination to make sure that the ex- ternal ear canal is clean, that there is no disturbance of the eardrum,’ and that there is no beginning of dis- ease of the internal ear. It becomes possible in many cases to control the symptoms by ‘proper psychological suggestion, taking the mind away from fixation on the ring- ing, and also by the use of various medicinal preparations to lower the ae of perception of the symp- old Godwin. It is here, too, that Mr. and Mrs. Childs Frick dwell. The new community was organ- ized for much the same purpose as the others; to create zoning laws that would keep out all commercial enter- prises. Clarence E. Schwerin, who is the town engineer in charge of such zoning matters, is merely the president of a half dozen water pow- er companies and coal companies, be- sides being a celebrated mining en- gineer. The “city dads” are good old-fash- ioned bank presidents and corpora- tion chieftains. ns * ee David Saranoff, the big radio mo- gul, fell to swapping yarns about “the old days” while talking at the Radio’ World's Fair the other evening. And although one of the biggest factors in the electrical world today, Saranoff likes to recall the time when he was a mere “ham” in heh less. ‘Twenty-one years ago, so went his | tale, he was in the wireless room of) the sealing ship Beotic. Suddenly came a call from a lonely island— STICKERS | ——— PYRE. | Each letter in thé three-letter words PAY, FOR and BET. stands for a differ- ent figure, from one to nine. When three numbers are added, as illustrated, the answer will spell the word “PYRE.” Belle Isle—off Labrador. It was a call for help. An operator stationed in this far away spot nad been taken seriously ill. He had nd way of getting relief, and he sent his call for assistance into the ether. Saeranoff rushed to the ship's doc- tor. Back and forth through the air went a diagnostic interview. The +doctor gave instructions to the sick man what he must do until -help came. Several days later, the ship put in at Belle Isle and the doctor i was able to give treatment. (Copyright, 1931, NEA Service, Inc.)

She refused to let the others change their tickets for another night. As a result Chris and Bob attended the play and Norma remained at home. There could be no doubt about Norma’s pleasure in Bob's com- pany. She always welcomed him. More often than Chris she urged him to drop in again soon and it was Norma who suggested inviting him to dinner. However, sho and Bob were never alone. When Chris tried tactfully ‘to engineer such tete-a-tetes somehow the plans went amiss. Chris could not be sure whether Norma managed this in- tentionally or not. eee HERE were times when she was sure Norma's old fondness for Bob was developing into a deeper affection. A safer, surer affection than the mad-cap plunge into ro- mance that Norma’s marriage to Mark Travers had been. That, Chris felt, was the solution of Nor+ ma’s problems, But did Norma really care for Bob? One day Chris believed she did. The next she was uncertain. “If she’s foolish enough to turn down a fine boy like Bob,” Chris told herself, “to keep faith with a good-for-nothing like Mark Travers she doesn’t. deserve sympathy! Bob’s worth ten Marks! Probably she’s in love wigh Bob and doesn’t realize it yet. Well, they'll have to settle affairs for themselves but 1 know what I'd do!” March made {ts entry lamb-like. The sun melted and bright winter sunshine mado heavy winter wraps actually uncomfortable. Norma scrimped on lunches and made the first payment on a cheap carriage for the baby. Before that taking Mark out for a daily airing had been out of the question. All of the sunlight possible to absorb through a third floor window he had absorbed. That was not enough, the doctor said. After the carriage arrived Mrs. Carey spent two hours daily wheel- ing him up and down the block. Saturday and Sunday Norma ways took him out.’ She felt 1m. mensely proud when passersby glanced into the carriage and said, “What a pretty baby!” or stopped to ask how old he was. i) Above his blue blankets the in- fant’s hooded head was just visible. It was not easy to keep him cov- ered. Mark, that child of perfect disposition and deportment, was showing an increasing tendency to wriggle upright when he was sup- posed to be asleep. He wanted to use his arms and legs. He wanted to be independent. On a Sunday morning in mid- March Norma was wheeling the - baby down the street. She crossed the first block and the second. Rosyln avenue, just ahead, was & thoroughfare for cross-town traffic. Norma approached the curb, wait- ing cautiously for the signal light to change from green to red.
