(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS & BREWER (Incorporated) { CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Encouraging Reports from the headquarters of} “United Action for Employment” are encouraging. They show some prog- ress is being made in the nation in the | effort to put men back to work and restore business to normalcy. The movement is one sponsored jointly by the advertisers of the na- tion, the American Legion, American Federation of Labor and similar or- ganizations and has for its objectives the stimulation of public confidence so that more men may be employed. ‘A late press release by this organ- fzation which is making @ really vigorous campaign with the aid of the newspapers of the country, says: “War Against Depression has carried its first trenches, bring- ing to America the best news it has had in years. Every day the score board shows more hitherto unemployed Americans back at work. “When America goes in for United Action it is irresistible. “YOU, whether you are manu- facturer, merchant, railroad chief, utility manager, or house- holder, can help put a million unemployed Americans back at work. ‘Hire at least one additional employe. Give work for an hour a day, or an hour a week, “and remember this: Those who have jobs feel a new sense of security and freedom to spend their earnings when they see even one new employe COME IN the door. “A million men and women back at work will change the whole frame of mind of America. We shall think in terms of work and we shall look ahead. We shall stop thinking in terms of gloom and we shall stop looking back. “Join today. It is everybody's war and everybody can get in. “Be one of a million to hire an unemployed American.” i ‘That remark about changing the; frame of mind has a good deal to do with the whole business. When peo- ple generally stop selling themselves} and their fellowmen “short” things will be stirring again. The Olympic Games Any devotee of sport can take in the Olympic Games to be held this sum- mer at Los Angeles—provided he has the price. The schedule of fees to be charged for the various contests has recently been announced by the committee in charge and, if one wishes to see the entire performance, he can prepare to shell out $83, if he is an adult, and $41.50 if he is under 16 years of age. The thousands of athletes who will be on hand for the games will be spread all over Los Angeles much of the time, however, and no person ‘would have opportunity to see all of} the events, since competitions in dif- ferent activities will be staged in dif- ferent places at the same time. The receipts from admissions will be added to the funds collected by the committees in charge in an effort to defray the expenses, but it appears almost certain now that there will be a deficit when the last jump has been made, the last shot has been fired and the swimmers have made their last stroke. It is a vast, complex and cost- ly job to prepare for, serve and care for the horde of men and women who will be present to take part. For any who may care to attend, however, the railroads are offering reduced rates and California enthus- iasts say their section is at its best from July 30 to August 14, the dates yetween which the games will be held. Cooperative Salaries One of the minor wars now going on in congress centers about a pro- posal to reduce the limit on salaries paid to farm board members and to fix a limit of $15,000 a year on the salaries ‘which cooperatives affiliated ‘with the board may pay to its officers, rather than honor and glory. The lat- ter items, by the way, are presumed to be a major part of the compensa- tion for such governmental dignitar- ies as members of the senate, con- gressmen and cabinet officers, In a recent public letter, James C. Stone, farm board chairman, attacked the proposal and condemned it as an effort to ham-string the cooperatives by condemning them to get along with inferior business management. He pointed out that the governing boards 29|0f the cooperatives are hard-headed farmers who know their own situation and are entitled to use their own | judgment on such things as salaries. On the other hand a congressional group contends that the cooperatives are being financed by the government and that the government should have some voice in how much they should pay out for help. City Costs Tripled New York's city government costs $60.64 per capita or an increase of 187 per cent per capita since 1917. Food for thought to be sure, Much of the cost increase is due to multiplication of governmental func- tions many of which render little or no real public service. What is true of New York City is true in lesser degree perhaps of every municipality in the United States. The cost of government is one of the first things to mount and usually one of the last things to de- scend. Tax reformists in New York declare that the government costs could be cut 20 per cent in a single year with a resulting 30 per cent increase in ef- ficiency. Students of governmental costs are finding this out in many localities, In North Dakota the demand for tax re- duction is becoming greater from day to day. Not many years ago, there was a small and much reviled group urging retrenchment in public ex- penditures so that the burdens on the private purses of citizens might be lightened. Those who called atten- tion to the mounting costs were as voices calling in a wilderness of in- difference and scorn. They were even branded as undesirable citizens; persons who block the path of prog- ress and who should retire from active service, As if over-night tax associations have become popular. Scarcity of money is acute and the day of the easy and speculative dollar has gone, so repentance is at hand. People generally are examining tax bills and seeking out information as to what they get for these great expenditures. It is no longer out of order to talk about tax reduction. Budget inform- ation is more available and you can} scan state and municipal expenditures without being abused or threatened. It is the logical reaction to an orgy of public expenditure and much can be forgiven now that there is an honest} desire to treat taxation as a real and vital issue. Functions of government have been increasing rapidly. There is a bureau or commission for every conceivable public endeavor. Millions have been added to the payroll so that the job of getting back to an economical basis of government is going to be a long and hard struggle. A good beginning has been made in this and other states. The spectacle of Chicago and New York serves as an outstanding lesson for the rest of the country. Col. Robert McCormick of the Chi- cago Tribune in a recent address de- clares that the orgy of spending ram- pant in public administration grew directly out of the war. In that crisis, he declares, there was a sense of “wealth, of moral delinquency, and of national peril.” As a result cupidity flourished and there followed a wastefulness, the like of which the world had never seen. Prosperity flowed from post-war con- ditions and the spending orgy con- tinued. The day of reckoning has ar- rived. May patriotism and wisdom point the way! " Both Hoover and congress want to reduce taxes by paring down or sus- pending some of the present func- tions of government. It is good news but where have those fellows been all these years? | Times are improving. Major Hoople, famous comic strip character, was offered a job Tuesday.

Turn About’s Fair Play New York, March 9.—This, they'll} tell you'on Broadway, is “Sam Harris’ year.” With two music show hits turning away the crowds in a “depres- sion season,” Harris looks like “the biggest money in the street.” Which brings up an amusing anec- dote I heard in his offices recently. Just a few years ago, Jed Harris, “the kid producer,” was having his day. Jed had put on “Broadway” and sev- eral other outstanding successes and was counting up his first million. He met Sam and they fell to talk- ing about the theater—in fact that’s just about all stage folk do talk about. when they get together. “You've got to keep up to date— keep in tune with the changing times,” said Jed to the veteran theater man. “That's what's cleaning up for me.” Sam began to think it over. Today Jed is reported to have gone through the millions he made “keeping up to date.” And Sam, discovering that today’s crowds enjoy laughing at the “hooey” in national life, is now count- ing the millions. za Harris-Cohan Partnership ; The manner in which Sam Harris and George M. Cohan became part- ners is one of Broadway's amusing legends. Cohan was touring with the famous family act, “the Four Cohans.” They met about 1904 at a picnic. Harris, a child of the Manhattan tenements, forced since the age of 11 to shift for himself, had been in the theater for a number of years when the meet- ing took place. He had managed prize fighters and staged fistic combats while*still in his teens. At 17 he was organj neighborhood - entertainments. Terry McGovern gave him the first import- ant break. Then Harris broke into the theater, going into the historic melodrama producing firm of Sullivan, Woods and STICKERS MAD MASS AS QUEER ACRE Harris. Al Woods was fast becoming the king of melodrama. x # # Missing—$100,000! But when Harris and Cohan met, another shift was in the offing. Har- ris had the manuscript of a play titled, “Little Johnny Jones.” He wanted to interest Cohan in playing the part. Cohan liked it, but couldn't see how he could break loose from “the family,” “But I’ve got $100,000 to put into plays—think it over, kid,” said Har- ris. A few months later Cohan came back anxious to play “Little Johnny.” Alas—the $100,000 was gone! Harris had tossed it to “the track” and into flops. Which is the way things go in the theater.

MOBRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American itor, seociatl Although it is one of the oldest treatments for disease known to man, the use of hot baths is still one of the really important aids in combat- ing certain types of disease. Savages had warm springs and the ancient Greeks wrote much about the value of this form of treatment. Certain germs cannot grow under continued heat above normal temper- ature of the human body. For in- stance, it was found that patients with general paresis improved when in- fected with malaria fever, Many physicians believe that the mal attack acts by raising the tempera- ture of the body to such an extent that the germs were killed. It is generally accepted that a hot bath has definite effects in speeding up the chemistry of the body. This is shown by the increase of non-protein nitrogen and carbon dioxide in the blood, It is also established that white blood cells are increased following & hot bath, and particularly the form of white blood cell that is important in attacking infection. ‘This result is brought about by the hot bath itself, and is not influenced by adding salts, oils, ointments, muds or anything else to the bath. Physicians have advised the use of hot baths for patients with gout, rheumatic infections, snd various nervous disorders. If the patient is put in the bath with the water pleasantly warm and the temperature of the wa- ter gradually increased, it is possitia to raise the body temperature of the patient to such an extent that the thermometer placed in the mouth will record from 104 to 105 degrees. Obviously such a procedure is po- tent for harm when wrongly used as well as for good if properly used. Some people become faint in a hot bath, Patients with heart disease or with @ serious condition of the blood ves- sels may be harmed by remaining in such a bath too long or by being sub- mitted to sudden changes of tempera> ture.

Mother's com- ing in from Europe at noon and I'd forgotten it takes a good 12 hours setting through customs — getting mother through anyway.” “That's all right,” Ellen said for- lornly, moving toward the dressing room and hoping desperately that she would not cry. “I couldn't have gone, I have another engagement.” She had an early dinner engage- ment with Steven. “Ha!” he exclaimed significantly. “You've had lots of other engage- ments lately.” Then he asked abruptly—and in a voice that at an- other time Ellen might have sought to analyze: “Ellen, are you in love with some- one and holding out on me? Should I be jealous—maybe?” Ellen could even laugh now. An uncertain little laugh it was—but a laugh. “What makes you think I'd tell you even if it were true?” she de- manded, striving to make her voice seem gay and careless. and is He eyes, fascinated and fearful, did not leave his face but there ‘was not the slightest change in his expression. =; “Well, be mysterious,” marked, laughing again, He moved away and began to set up a wobbly card table and to fish paper doilies from the box where they were kept. He was removing the ofled paper from delicatessen sandwiches when Ellen slipped into the dressing room,and changed the full-skirted taffeta evening gown for her dark blue dimity street frock. She was tying the cherry ribbons at the elbow when she heard the door-' bell ring. She thought it was Myra and Bert, returned early, until she heard the voices. A man’s voico and a woman's, voices different and strange to her ear, voices which slurred syllables oddly and were stamped with the stamp of fashion- able schools, Larry had had no guests during the evenings she had posed there.

She made as much noise as possible and partially suc. ceeded in drowning out the voices. But a moment later as she pulled on her patent leather pumps she heard a squeal of excitement from the soprano voice. “Larry, you dog!” exclaimed the voice in malicious delight. “It must be tho little pickup, the taxi-dancer, you're painting.

She felt ferce inner pleasure that even the modish clothes the other. girl wore could not make her anything but a discontented, rather homely young woman. As for Bob—he was simply another young man in flannels, “I want you two to meet a-great friend of mine—Ellen Rossiter,” Larry said with awkward haste, And then, “Ellen, these are Lona and Bob Clendenning. Just a couple of bums that weren’t invited, but rather good sports for all that. Shall we let them share our sand- wiches?” He was not sure how much Ellen had heard in the dressing room or whether she had heard anything, but he had deliberately stressed that “great friend,” and Ellen, in a dim way, was grateful for the ef- fort he made.
