The state commissioner of motor vehicles for New Jersey be- Neves there is better reason for hav- ing two headlights on a motor ve- hicle than for having two eyes, in- stead of one, as equipment for the human face. It is conceded that two eyes tend to balance the facial structure and give it symmetry, besides having other advantages. Cyclops is reported to have functioned with one eye placed squarely in the middle of his forehead but his main business was making thunderbolts for Zeus and nothing else. One-eyed monsters never did ap- pear to editorial imaginations except as messengers of dire disaster. How- ever, the motorist who persists in the one headlight theory, and there are plenty of them hereabouts, out- does even Cyclops in that he carries his Cyclopean eye entirely off the me- dian line, either to port or starboard, SE: in a most distressing manner.

It was ‘ mild, easy-going introductory ad- dress dealing mostly in generalities. ‘In other words, it was a typical Dem- yocratic political speech, deliberately dntended to leave a pleasant impres- sion and not to say too much in ad- wwance of the national convention ‘which must write the platform. Overshadowing everything else was Roosevelt's rift with Smith. Political interest focused on that incident. Gov. Roosevelt sought to smooth it over Close friends of Smith declare that the break with Roosevelt is final. They contend that Smith’s pique is chargeable to the fact that Roosevelt | has ignored him in making his plans for the presidential nomination. The inference given by Smith backers is that Roosevelt never told Smith he ‘was to become a candidate but rushed into the fight, stealing some thunder which Smith has cherished as his own. There is an intimation that ‘Roosevelt's friends have even raised the religious issue to make Smith Jess available and Roosevelt more so. ‘This is the gossip gleaned from the columns of the New York Times, which seems to favor Smith over ‘Roosevelt. With strong Democratic leanings, the New York Times is prob- ably the outstanding newspaper of the nation espousing the principles of that party. It is significant that, editorially, The Times has seen fit ‘to criticise the recent political utter- ances of Roosevelt. This newspaper took Roosevelt to task soundly for his radio utterances about the “for- gotten man,” declaring that he was resorting to class appeal. With more skill and diplomacy than Smith at the Washington Jefferson day ban- quet, The Times voiced practically the same criticism of Roosevelt's re- cent statements. Roosevelt's candidacy now faces the. severe test of the primaries in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania on April 26. The break between Roose- velt and Smith will doubtless increase | the bitterness of the contests in these | two states. Success or failure of the |Roosevelt candidacy may be linked with the results in these important | political centers. Certainly the re- turns will reflect whether Smith has ‘any political strength. If he fails in states where he has always been strong, Roosevelt's candidacy will be ' strengthened considerably. But across Roosevelt's path is the handicap of the Democratic conven- tion’s two-thirds rule. Many a can- didate strong in delegates and in high favor with the masses has suf- fered defeat at the hands of the po- litical bosses under the application of that rule.

They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies. A Federal Five-Day Week (Minneapolis Tribune) Mr. Hoover's advocacy of the five- day week as an economy measure is undobutedly the result of the Presi- dent's desire to strike some reasonable compromise between those who are demanding a flat reduction in federal salaries and those who are unequivoc- ally opposed to no reduction at all. It is said to be Mr. Hoover's hope that the federal government, by in- stituting the five-day week and a sys- tem of leaves without pay, can effect a saving of approximately $80,000,000 and at the same time create work for more than 25,000 part-time federal employes. Two advantages of such a plan sug- gest themselves immediately. The first lies in the fact that the five-day week, while constituting nothing more nor less than @ sugar-coated wage cut, is much less offensive to the rank and file of workers than a schedule of straight reductions. It is entirely pos- sible, for this reason, that congress might agree to the five-day week where it would be exceedingly reluc- tant to approve a program of outright pay cuts. The second advantage ot the plan lies in the fact that the five- jday week would in many cases neces- jsitate the spreading of work among @ greater number of employes. The federal government, in other words, would find itself in a position to hire more workers and at the same time make a substantial pay roll saving. Many industries have discovered since the depression that the five-day week, the shortened working day, and similar expedients have made possible urgent economies while permitting available work to be spread thin over @ larger group of employes. Such schedules, of course, involve sacrifices jon the part of workers who would nor- mally be employed full time, but they have the merit, on the other hand, of Pro work for those who would otherwise be idle. That the federal government might find. it profitable to experiment along this line is at ‘A-youh who weighed 108. pounds warble loees pe cance weight, What should he weigh? 2 But most of all, according to the nation’s song writers, it has reduced the public t a point where it easily 4s “fed up” on any given thing. ‘The song writers notice it in re- ‘duced sales of their work.

German attacks, in the main, were re- pulsed. Reports that an early peace would be signed between Rumania and the central powers were current in west- ern Europe. Rumania had been vir- tually a non-combatant since Russia’s collapse. Guatemala announced that it con- sidered itself in the same position as the United States in the war. This amounted to a virtual declaration of war on Germany and her allies. German losses since the beginning of the war were placed at 4,456,000 men by Karl Bliebtreu, German mili- tary statistician. This figure was more than double the correct amount, ac- cording to allied statistics, and ob- servers in France and England were at a loss to understand it. Permanent losses according to Ger- man casualty lists, were not more than 1,700,000. th anh: BEGIN HERE TODAY ee But He Kept His Head Alexander Woolcott, famed for his hair-trigger sallies and retorts, was sitting as chairman of a meeting that had caused one member of the audi- ence annoyance.

MORRIS FISHBEIN In a recent survey of patients sen- sitive to various food substances, Dr. Albert H. Rowe found the following symptoms exceedingly frequent: Can- ker sores in the mouth, heavy breath, distention of the abdomen and belch- ing. Patients also had intestinal cramping and pain and soreness at various points over the abdomen. Many of the patients who were sensitive to foods also complained of weakness, fatigue, irritability, mental dullness and generalized aching. Moreover, it was found in over 65 per cent of the cases that the parents had had some hypersensitivity in form of asthma, hay fever, eczema, eruption on the skin, or migraine. There is no doubt that the taking of food to which the person is sensi- tive may cause strong and rapid con- striction of the musculature of the bowel, and that, as a result, the pa- tient will have a spasm of the bowe? with pain and soreness, and some- times with vomiting or diarrhea. This does not mean, of course, that every person who has these symp- toms is sensitive to food. The symp- toms must be taken as a warning signal that something is wrong and that a careful study is necessary to determine whether or not there is in- Mel abnormality, or sensitivity to Before the condition is called al- lergic or hypersensitive, a careful study must be made of the physical condition of the patient, and all of the usual laboratory and X-ray studies should be made to make cer- tain there is no other conspicuous factor. However, when the patient says that his parents, grandparents, broth- ers or sisters have asthma, hay fe- ver, eruptions, eczema, migraine, or recurrent colds and coughs; when he says that many foods disagree with him and that others he simply can- not eat because he dislikes them, the Physician must be suspicious of some sensitivity to food and make a .spe- ¢ial search for that sensitivity. In this search it is now frequently a simple matter to test the patient's sensitivity by eliminating all of the usual articles of food and giving him only an extremely simple diet, add- ing one article at a time until his symptoms of sensitivity appear. oy Men are unfair.

Of course she would have no actual vacation this year since she had only started to work, but it was enough for her at the moment to feel the exquisite own domain, There came, however, the inevit- able d~* when R>e, always popu- lar and in demand, telephoned that she could not get home for dinner. “I see, Of course you must go. Have a good time and don’t be too late. No, I won't leave the dcor open. You ring twice and I'll hear you.” Susan’s tone sounded cheer- ful but she hung up the receiver with a sense of dismay. The long summer evening stretched out emptily before her. She stood up to find Jack Waring twinkling at her. « “What's the matter? Somebody stand you up?” he bantered. Susan shook her head. “The girl who’ aying with me while my aunt is away has a date,” she explained, hoping her voice didn’t sound as forlorn as she felt. The man smiled, “Come along with me,” he said casually. “Some friends of mine are driving out to a place on the Milwaukee Road where they hat grand music, I'll take good cal of you and get you home early.” Susan hesitated. There was no denying it, the prospect was allur- ing, In addition, the man’s tone and manner were so quietly re- assuring, so nearly paternal that she felt rather silly as she de- murred, “Nonsense,” Waring said briskly. “You just say ‘no’ as a matter of form without thinking. I can see that.” His conjecture was 80 close to the truth that Susan flushed. After all, wasn’t it foolish of her to go home clone, eat an uninteresting and solitary supper and moon about waiting for Rose to return, when friendship, gaiety, music and laugh- ter were hers for the stretching out of her hand? Irrationally she won- dered if this had been the way Ei felt about the serpent. Then she smiled and shrugged because the metaphor was so far-fetched. Jack Waring in his conservative dark suit, perfectly groomed and agree- ably friendly, was as little like a serpent anyone could posstbly imagine, She was seized with an uncontrollable impulse, “I'll go,” she sald, . “I'd love to.’ He was so businesslike about it all, putting ber address down in day evening for a mastoid operation.

He ‘was to call for her at seven, Much cs she disliked the fdea of the neighbors peering at his long, blue roadster with its shattering horn she insisted on this. For one thing she remembered Aunt Jessie's dic- tum, “If a man can’t call for a girl at her own home then I say there's something wrong. Tht fly-by- nights who meet boys on street corners will come to no good.” It was curious that Susan should think of this and be so insistent about it, because she had heard Aunt Jessie say it so many times and it had always irritated her. eee g rushed homeward, impatient of the many delays, The west- bound trolley seemed unusually slow and jerky. The conductor dropped the token she handed him, Passengers fumbled their transfers, and at every cross town line there were maddening waits, Why she was so excited at the Prospect of an evening with Waring Susan could not have exactly said. Perhaps it was his reputation as a lady’s man, gleaned from hints dropped by Pierson, Perhaps it was the memory of the dozen and one daily telephone calls which he received. Most of the voices were Provocatively feminine, Susan could not help hearing Waring’s part in some of these conversations, He called all of them “darling.” She knew that and was a little con- temptuous of it, believing in her young arrogance (and who shall say not rightly?) that the charm- ing English term of endearment| should be reserved for the chosen one instead of scattered to the crowd.

After all, she argued, men couldn’t all be alike. She began to feel that she had mis- understood Waring.
