A Big-Hearted Man If one needs proof of the old say- ing “all that glitters is not gold” he might read with interest a letter sent out to all the newspapers in this country of the signature of one Hein- rich Weitzel, a citizen of Hamburg, Germany. The actual mailing was done by a Press syndicate in America hired for the purpose but the cost, presumably, was borne by Mr. Weitzel. The missive deals with the Jewish situation in Germany and presents @ picture entirely different from that which we imagine from reading ar- ticles sent out by a presumably un- biased press. Most of us had been led to believe that the Jews were in a pretty bad way in Germany. Not so, says Weit- zel. It is the Jews who are persecut- ing the Germans and the Hitler re- gime is only striking back. The Jews were stimulating the cause of Com- munism and leading Germany toward Red revolution. All of the reporté about Jewish persecution are slan- derous lies. ‘The final paragraphs of Weitzel’s letter give a good idea of the entire document: “The malcontents, by instiga- tion of a world boycott of Ger- man goods, hope to increase un- employment in our Fatherland, thereby fostering discontent and sedition in order to pave the way for their confederates in Moscow. ‘This Jewish press campaign is a menace, which not only concerns Germany, but in its ultimate is- sue bears upon the destinies of every civilized nation. Should it succeed, Moscow may yet rule the world. “Not, if the German Govern- ment can prevent it! Therefore Germany considers herself justi- fied in resorting to retaliatory measures against certain Jews in this country, if their anti-Ger- man campaign and threatened economic boycott is not stopped. Already motor lorries and auto ‘buses are carrying inflammatory Posters proclaiming: ‘Judea de- clares war on Germany.’ Can you blame us for hitting back?” Unless one has actually been in Germany and seen for himself, he must depend upon what he reads and hears for information upon which to ase a conclusion. But one wonders, reading Weitzel’s letter, what compelling interest caused him to hire an American press agent to tell the story of Hitlerism to the American press. Was it his own money or was it the money of the German government? If it was his own, Weitzel certainly should be classed as a truly patriotic hearted German citizen. Cause for Optimism The fact that grain prices went down Monday at Chicago apparently disturbed nobody. Profit-taking was bound to have its effect; the breath- ing spell from the upward movement may only presage another spurt. There is no disputing the optimis- tic feeling which now rules in the Northwest and little cause to doubt that the spirit is justified. Recent movements of the grain market largely have been credited to inflation but there are other and more Pertinent reasons why the price of wheat should advance. Whatever may be done about inf:ation, it is not yet with us and we can estimate its effects if and when it finally arrives. There is some ground for the belief that we may never actually exper- fence jts pleasures or pains, which ever they might turn out to be. The fundamental thing is that the supply of grain now on hand is ma- terlally less than the burden which hung over the market a year ago. The farm board has unloaded its holdings. ‘They no longer hang as a weight over the market. Added to this is the fact that pro- duction in both the winter and spring ‘wheat areas will be sharply reduced. Farmers in Kansas, ‘Nebraska and other states producing soft wheat did not materially curtail the acreage Planted but nature has dealt harsh- dy with that region this year and there will be no hundred million bushel crops to glut the market. This wheat now is well above the ground, what there is of it, and the outlook is not good. Planting still is underway here in the Northwest and there isn’t as much of it as most market observers had anticipated. Certainly the acre- age put in will be far below the fig- ures on this subject as announced by the government. * Most important factor in this sit- uation is sheer inability on the part of many farmers to seed all they had hoped to do. Many are farming with horses and the supply of animals is limited. Others, who are working with tractors, have found their credit inadequate to meet their requirements for gasoline and oil. Men who obtain- ed government seed loans have found, in many cases, that they were un- able to plant even the 70 per cent of last year's acreage allowed under the federal regulations. Most seriously affected by this sit- uation is the marginal farmer, the man who never made much money in good times and upon whom the sit- uation of the last three years has worked especial hardship. He is least able to put in a crop and the revival of prices will mean less to him than to his more fortunate neighbor whose resources have not been depleted to the vanishing point. Getting Out of the Rut It is quite a time since the papers have contained any better reading than those stories telling about the new recruits in President Roosevelt's “Conservation Corps” and the atti- tude which they are displaying in their new calling. One such lad, who had been out of a job ever since he left high school, and whose father had also been out of work for two years, expressed him- self as follows: “It isn't the job. It isn’t the money. It’s getting away from the dreary rut, We couldn't do anything. We had not clothes to go to school. We can't go out with friends with no money. We can't go out with girls without money. “For a year I just sat around. It wasn't good for my body or my mind. Getting out in the air away from failure will let me come back with all bets off. I can start all over again.” Somehow it does one a lot of good to read that. ‘Those who complained that one of our troubles was the fact that every- thing was too low in price—which in- cludes nearly all of us—should get a real thrill out of the latest business statistics. The weekly index issued by Dun and Brastreet’s shows 80 commodities advanced in price last week and only two declined. A year ago there were nine ad- vances and 38 drops. It won't be long now before the fellow who just hung up the snow- Shovel will be busy with the lawn- mower, 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 policies, Flattening Out the Skyscraper (Minneapolis Tribune) ‘The ease with which we abandon what we choose to call “inevitable trends” in human life for newer trends, no less inevitable, is nowhere better exemplified than in our cur- rent attitude toward the skyscraper and the super-city which it once caused us to picture for ourselves. In 1929 we saw men piled up in cities, business centered in huge corpora- tions, communications integrated, and buildings towering higher and higher. All this we said was inevitable and would continue. Just then something happened and our concept of inevit- snl. has had to be considerably al- tered. Without abandoning our talk about the inevitable we are now told by such men as William Orr Ludlow of the American Institute of Architects that the skyscraper era is at an end and that the time of smaller cities, widespread suburban communities and decentralized industry is at hand. This complete shift Mr. Ludlow sees as part of the “inevitable trend of affairs.” There is undoubtedly a good deal of truth in what Mr. Ludlow says. Suburban and village popula- tion increased more than in any other decade of American history in the period from 1920 to 1930. Since this Period also saw the greatest amount of industrial integration, it must be assumed that the change that was revealed by the 1930 census came rather swiftly. It is just possible, however, that the wish is the father of the thought in this particular discussion of social trends. Mr. Ludlow, President Roose- velt, and a good many others consider it desirable that the trend toward concentration be reversed, and they are getting ready to hasten the “in- evitable.” The reason for this new emphasis in social thought is not hard to find. The crash of the New Era brought disillusionment in its wake and the desire for the older, and happier times, a conscious attempt to reproduce the peaceful situation which characterized the Victorian age, is everywhere now exerting strong claims for attention. Also there are a good many who think, and that not with- out reason, that the high-geared metropolitan center with its tremen- dous industrial units offers the in- dividual no stability. Hence we are deliberating the development of trends that will reverse what we heretofore considered inevitable. The present Period of transition will undoubtedly work many changes that will be in that direction, but our success in hastening the inevitable in this in- stance will probably be no greater than it was in 1929, At least we are beginning to learn that “inevitable” is a very unstable term. A full day's fog has been estimated to cost the city of London over $4,- 000,000. 1 Some Guys Get It Coming and Going DEFLATION INELATION PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE | By William Brady, M. D.

THE HEALING OF VARICOSE ULCER Obliteration of the varicose (weak- ened, enlarged, thinned, congested) vein underlying the ulcer is the best way to bring about healing of chronic leg ulcer. The injection treatment is| advisable. Any competent physician can give the chemical obliteration treatment for varicose veins, in his office, without detaining the patient, from ordinary activities. I warn per- sons with varicose veins to beware of submitting to such treatment at the hands of any other than a reputable responsible physician who practices, of course, under his own name. It is a wise policy to keep your money clutch- ed tightly in your fist and have a Police escort if you venture into the establishment of any doctor or spe- cialist who calls himself a “clinic”, “institute”, or “association”, ‘“com- Pany”, or “corporation.” If the obliteration of the vein is not, feasible, then it is essential that the patient remain constantly at rest with the leg elevated or at least not de- pendent. If this is out of the ques- tion, then the healing of the ulcer is difficult but still achievable. Here a few simple truths are in order: 1, No ointment, salve, lotion or other medicament can hasten the rate of healing in any case. Such remedies unintelligently applied do very com- monly retard the natural healing process. 2. It is silly to imagine that an antiseptic remedy promotes healing in any circumstance. Efficient antiseptics unquestionably do delay healing in al- most any wound or sore. 3. Unless complications demand medical attendance, plain soap and water is preferable to all other anti- Septics for the care of varicose ulcer. And I DON’T mean medicated soap. Various means of aiding the re- moval of the stagnant blood thru the veins are available, and sitting or re- clining with the affected limb elevated is one of them. ‘The wearing of an elastic stocking, legging or bandage fitted or applied after a day's rest in bed or at least before you get out of bed in the morn- ing, is helpful to healing. Skilful strapping of the leg and ulcer by the physician, is successful in many cases. The rubber sponge dressing is a good one: Cleanse ulcer and skin around it with benzine. Paint ulcer with 10% silver nitrate solution. Apply some boric acid ointment. Cover with sev- eral layers of gauze fluffed. Over the gauze apply four sheets of wadding. Over the wadding an ordinary rubber sponge, the firmest obtainable, the size of the ulcer or a little larger. Bandage all in place with 3 inch gauze bandage. Finally apply a 4 inch woven linen or elastic bandage from toes to just below knee, firmly. Renew entire dressing as often as dis- charge soils it. The more the patient | walks with this dressing on, the bet- ter its effect as it massages the tis- sues with each step s0 aids the re- turn circulation. A new sponge should be used when the old one loses its springiness. A paste dressing has promoted heal- ing in many obstinate cases. Slowly heat and stir till melted to a smooth rubbery mass 6 ounces gelatin, 3 ounces zinc oxide, 10 ounces glycerin and 10 ounces water. This must be applied hot, like paint, with a brush, to entire leg from great toe joint to just below knee, in successive coats, with a gauze bandage over each coat. and left for weeks unchanged. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. No, Honey. Please advise me if honey is fatten- ing, also if it may be used by those who have been. denied sugar. Have heards this argued many times. (Mrs. 8&.C. T.) Answer—From one-sixth to one- fourth of the weight of honey is water. Allowing for that, a pound of honey gives approximately the number of calories, nutritive units, you get in four-fifths of a pound of cane sugar. The cane sugar, dextrose and levulose in honey is not more suitable in any way than cane or beet sugar. There is no ground for the notion that one who is denied ordinary sugar can take the sugar that comes in the form of honey. Old Medical Tome. In an old doctor book I find the statement that milk sugar (lactose) restores lost hair and restores the color to grey hair and cures decay of teeth... (F. L. G.) Answer—And pays the taxes and the installments on the flivver? Every glass of fresh milk contains a couple level teaspoonfuls of milk sugar. Milk sugar is good food but I don't belleve it grows any hair or teeth. (Copyright, John F. Dille Co.) By JULIA BLANSHARD New York, May 2.—Col.

She wanted to get away from this strange room, and this strange woman, and all the strange sights and sounds of the city. She wanted to bury her head on her mother’s lap, and hide there, with her face against her mother’s voluminous skirts, with the tangle of honeysuckle and passion vine shutting off the front Porch and the old rocking chair, from the quiet street. She didn’t mind the thought of defeat, of coming back in disgrace, a failure. She didn’t mind any- thing, but being here all alone with these people who had foreign ways of thought and speech. She wanted to be home again, where some one eared, and things were safe and unchanging. She whisked a stray tear out of her eyes, faced the strange, kindly prima donna, determinedly. “You see—I can’t tell them.” Madame Nahlman reached soft, fat arms to her. “No, darling child, you can’t tell them. And what do we care for them? Nothing! Those devils, men! Never mind. No man is worth crying over. But you must never trust one again. There, reach me my handkerchief, You see how Iam? All heart—I wear myself out on other people’s troubles, but I cannot help it, it is my eurse—my temperament. See, I am erying more than you! Now we shall stop.

You will make a singer. My first thought was right. My first thoughts are always right. It is only my second thoughts, .. . One of your duties will be to keep me from listening to my second thoughts ... you hear that?” Lily Lou nodded. She did not trust herself to speak.

It would be very won- derful . . . oh, if she could only home instead. ... “Was there any mail?” she asked nervously. “I think so, SA-DIE! What did you do with Miss Lily Lou’s mail?” They found it. Two letters, and @ postcard. The postcard was a picture of the city hall in Oakland. It was from Raymond’s father and said, “Best of luck in the big city. Kind regards from yours truly, R. W. Kittridge.” The air mail letter was from May and the other came from her mother. She opened her mother’s letter first. It had a leaf of rose geranium enclosed, and a scrap of blue dotted swiss. “Your father is painting the kitchen white for me. It will take three coats, to cover the the door, for a long time.

Mrs. Manchester had a bon voy- age basket, big as a young clothes- baskets ready on the table in the Lily Lou looked at it. Examined the jars of jam and conserve, the two new novels, the box of candy, through ‘their transparent, shin) wrappers. Sniffed at the red pend and waxy lilies of the valley tied on the handle, “Now, now! You're not home- sick already, my dear? You fiat- ter me, not wanting to leave me!” Mrs. Manchester gushed, patting her, playfully. “Well, I am a little homesick. I—1 sort of hate to go.” “Of course you do. But think what a glorious time you will have with the famous Nita Nahlman. Parties, receptions. All the famous’ in Europe. Really, you don’t know how fortunate you are!” “Yes, I'm awfully fortunate,” give it up. The swiss is for the curtains—” Lily Lou read it through slowly. 'Then she read May’s letter giving her a lot of news about home, When she had finished reading it, Lily Lou stuck it in her purse with her mother’s letter and her passport. She went into the room “Oh, Tl go,” she thought, auto- matically pressing her throbbing head with her cold hands, hardly conscious that it was aching, “I'll go. I can’t do anything else. And T hope the ship sinks.” The ship did not sink. It cut its ‘way across the gray Atlantic, in the teeth of a gale that sent white spray high as the smokestacks, and shook the ship to its very timbers. Madame Nahlman stayed in the stateroom for two days, having all She went into the room that had been hers and looked at the piled luggage. —_——<_$_—<—<—$=—— her meals sent up. She had Lily Lou's meals sent up too, but Lily, Lou could not eat. As Nahlman Predicted, she was sick. At first she worried that all this ‘would annoy the prima donna, they sharing the same cabin. But no, it amused her. “I don’t want to seem cruel,” she said some- times, eyeing poor, greenish Lily Lou with ill concealed gusto, “but it’s so funny. I haven’t laughed like this for 10 years, not since— but this is not the time. Some day, perhaps I shall tell you, when the babe is safely in the arms of a Bonne. We shall have a nice French one, with streamers, and petticoats, T shall get you the most crocheted, Petticoated bonne in all France. Wait! Then we shall laugh, you and I together, and laugh, and Jaugh—” Nita Nahlman did not wait. She laughed now. Loud and long. And at sight of her, with her longish hennaed hair flying and her bright blue eyes burning in her sallow, leathery face, there were times when Lily Lou was almost afraid of her, There was something hard- ly sane.
