Agreements That Count In the glare of publicity which at- tends President Roosevelt's confer- ences on world affairs, little things like a trade agreement between an American jewelry firm and the Re- public of Colombia are lost sight of, but it is arrangements such as one recently brought to light which, multiplied a thousand times, make in- ternational action effective. Colombia, it so happens, is the chief producer of emeralds in the world. Most precious among all stones, emeralds are one of Colombia's im- portant natural resources and the mines are owned by the government. But difficulty has been experienced in marketing the product and so an American firm has been retained to act as agent for the cutting and sale of the gems. In addition, it will su- pervise the training and instruction of young Colombians in cutting and marketing the jewels. The deal should prove a good one both for the New York firm and the South American nation. Very fre- quently both parties profit by such @rrangements. It is such agreements between People living in New York or Bis- marck, Timbuctoo or Samarkand which make for international good- will. There is no better ambassador than mutually profitable trade. America’s Newest War Vessel Nothing that a government can flo is ever much more impressive than the launching of a great warship. ‘The accounts written by people who taw the new U. S. cruiser New Or- leans put into the water at the Brooklyn navy yard recently all agree on that point. Pacifist and militarist alike confessed to a thrill of excite- ment at the mere sight of the great ship. Beauty and strength, grace and grim menace, combined in one black hhull—such an occasion expresses the might and majesty of a nation as few things can. Considered purely as a spectacle, the launching of a warship is one of the most striking affairs any govern- ment can put on. And such a spectacle, too, is apt to Jead a thoughtful man to muse on the uses of a navy, and the odd fate that attends most warships. For the years of peace are longer nowadays than the years of war, and when a new warship takes the water the chances are many to one that she will live out her career and eventually go to the scrapheap without once meeting a ship of her own class in actual battle. Indeed, one writer who saw the New Orleans launched pointed out that in all our history no American line-of- battle ship has ever matched blows with a foreign battleship. In the war of 1812 it was the cruisers and gun- boats that saw action; in the Civil War the fighting was largely with gunboats and shore forts; in the Spanish War the few American bat- tieships that let off their guns let them off against cruisers; in the World War the American warships had nothing but submarines to fight. But the queer part of it all is that this does not in the least mean that building these great warships is a waste of time. A navy that seldom Yights can be quite as useful as one that fights all the time. It is a form of insurance; its mere existence pre- vents fights that might occur if it were small and weak. The New Orleans may never fight. Even the least pacifistic of citizens hopes she never will. But she will Serve the purpose for which we built her even if she doesn't. Simply be- cause she exists, and is afloat and ready, she helps to defend us. Unpaid Teachers says Gen. Charles G. Dawes, “with trouble makers.” This sentiment, which occasionally roils the mind of humbler citizens, found utterance in typically Dawesian fashion when a few thousand unpaid Chicago school teachers marched into Chicago's financial district and asked General Dawes to explain why they couldn't collect any of the $29,000,- 000 the city owes them in back sal- aries. ‘The booing which descended on the head of the former vice president probably was more than a little un- fair. After all, General Dawes wasn’t Phenagled itself out of tax revenues. The mess isn’t of his making. But one of the penalties you have to pay for being a prominent banker which ordinarily is a very cushy job—is that when things go very wrong people are apt to start blaming them on you; and somehow General Dawes’ denunciation of trouble mak- jers doesn't seem like the best of all Possible comebacks. For one of the perverse things about human nature is this: when a lot of intelligent and devoted people work hard on their jobs and find that the incompetence and chicanery of their Tulers has deprived them of their in- comes, they are very apt to become trouble makers. That is, they are apt to become abusive and indignant, and impolite to prominent bankers, and unmindful of the peace and quiet that ought to reign in a big city’s finan- cial district; and consigning them to jthe nether regions with snappy |abruptness doesn't seem quite as good @ gag as it might have a few years ago, even if it does help you to live up to your reputation for being blunt and outspoken. The real trouble makers in Chicago, of course, aren't the unpaid school teachers; they are the politicians and financiers who got Chicago into such @ mess that the school teachers can't get paid. A few of these gentlemen have al- ready toppled off of their pedestals. Others, however, remain securely placed. Chicago needs very much to have them all tossed out, and the in- dignation of her school teachers could be a very useful aid in that direction if someone would diect it properly. And the next time General Dawes gets tired of trouble makers, some- one ought to point that fact out to him. Beer And Your Figure One of the minor issues of the day seems to be the question whether or not the consumption of beer will add unwanted pounds to the figures of women who want to be slender. Prof. Lafayette B. Mendel of Yale Predicts that it will. A quart of beer, he points out, con- tains 545 calories—only 105 less than @ quart of milk. Consequently, if you add a quart of beer to your regu- lar daily diet, and don’t cut down on anything else, you are pretty certain to take on weight, just as you would if you drank an extra quart of milk every day.

Conflicting Views Regarding Employment and- Wages (Railway Age) ‘Two completely conflicting ways of dealing with wages are being adyo- cated as means of increasing employ- ment and hastening the termination of the depression. As to the wages of railway employees, for example, the Railway Age, like many others, believes a larger reduction than that of 10 per cent now in effect should be made, while labor leaders advo- cate, as @ means of reducing unem- Bloyment, the establishment by fed- eral legislation of a six-hour day at eight hours’ pay, which would cause 8 33 per cent advance in the average hourly wage, and a corresponding in- crease in the payroll if the total number of hours that labor was paid for was not reduced. Which plan would be more likely to increase employment? We know that in past depressions wages on the rail- ways and in industry in general never were increased but always were re- Peatedly reduced; that those depres- sions finally came to an,end; that employment did increase and pros- Perity finally was restored; and that the recovery of business always was accompanied or followed by advances in wages. The theory that employ- ment would be increased in a depres- sion and the restoration of prosper- Getting Europe Together jee ALLIES ALL {BUT LosT THE " : ¥ TWAR BECAUSE ; f 4 OF THEIR RELUCTANCE MFigg) AtNED —— To CO-OPERATE SMILE EUROPE NEVER LEARN © self-addressed envelope is enclosed. ABOUT TONSILS The regular medical profession is in a quandry . One half of the pro- in a quandry. One half of the pro- tablished practitioners, would adhere to the traditional policy or dignified silence. Looking wise and saying noth- ing, they remind us, has served our, purpose for five thousand years. On the other hand, an equal number of doctors, chiefly the younger men, are convinced that the principles of med- ical ehtics which impose silence on the rank and file of the profession are out of joint with the times. These young radicals point out that, altho we still cling with fanatic piety to our hal- lowed old Code, nowadays we officially sponsor all sorts of radio, newspaper, magazine, public lecture and pamphlet peddling practices, and what's more some of the stuff we teach the public in these harangues would arouse the envy and admiration of Dr. Munyon himself. Frinst this item appeared in a newspaper Feb. 19: Removal of tonsils and adenoids in children under 5 years of age is justified only when they are badly diseased (probably the tonsils, not the children); en- largement is not a sufficient rea- son, according to a talk given for the state board of health over a radio station. As the item appeared in a promi- nent paper in an adjoining state it is probably the state board of health that issued the warning to the pub- Uc. It is a sad state of affairs when the health authorities are constrained to warn the public against the-—— well, against what the learned politi- cians of the health board consider “unjustified”. You may state the answer. This radio talk was delivered by an employee of a County Medical So- ity aided by a general reduction of working hours which was accompan- ied by an increase in wages per hour is one which never has been tried. There is experience that supports the view that reductions of wages in a Period of depression help to increase employment and restore prosperity, while there is no actual experience which supports the view that the es- tablishment in a depression of a shorter working day without reduc- tion of the pay for a day’s work would increase employment and help to re- store prosperity. There is a consideration of great importance which is commonly disre- garded in current reasoning concern- ing the effects of changes in wages and working hours. Prosperity can- not be restored merely by increasing the number of persons employed. Prosperity is measured not only by the distribution of what is produced, but by the total volume of produe- tion, which of course determines the amount of necessities, comforts and luxuries that can be distributed. Measured by freight car loadings, the total volume of physical production in the United States in 1932 was 47 per cent less than in 1929, and in the first four months of 1933 was 49 per cent less than in 1929. If employ- ment should be so redistributed that everybody who had work in 1929 would be given some work now, but there was no increase in present produc- tion, the income of the American People in necessities, ‘comforts and Juxuries—in other words, their real in- come—would continue to be only one- half as great as it was in 1929. That, surely, would not be regarded by any- body as the restoration of prosperity. ‘The restoration of real prosperity can be accomplished only by measures which will not merely temporarily in- crease employment but which will Permanently double or treble produc- tion in industry. Increased employment and produc- tion must be the dual objectives and results of any constructive economic policy; and any policy which has not increased production in industry as its main objective will make no per- manent contribution either to in- creased employment or to increases mayor of Chicago when Chicago | employment. ciety. The plot thickens. Here is the official medical organization of the community warning the people against—what? Who else but the regular physicians the “leading” and “well known” spe- cialists, not of that county partic- ularly but of every community in the country, has engaged in the practice of corraling children thru the efficient agency of nurses who eagerly serve as little tin doctors in this game, loading them into busses and rushing them to a dispensary or clinic to have their tonsils and adenoids removed wholesale? If we, the regular medical profession, now recognize that this 4s unjustified, it would be more be- coming and certainly more effective to attack the evil within the precincts of the medical society. The county medical society's radio barker referred to the diathermy method of extirpating tonsils, which method is rapily gaining popularity everywhere. Generally (the state board and county medical society informs the public) the coagulation method of removing tonsils is not con- sidered a successful one by the medical profession. That refers to the county in ques- “OTe sre or Fort DEARBORN Cu? Geemany WHEN WAS THE FIRST LARGER THAN in the real incomes of those who get i KENTUCKY DERBY RUN ? TEXAS ?

Elsewhere in the United States, Canada, England and points east, both the intelligent public and the progressive profession are turning to the diathermy or elec- tro-coagulation method as the method of choice, especially in cases where the major operation of tonsillectomy is too grave a risk for the patient to take.

CHAPTER FORTY-ONE Lily Lou tried to sit up and was a little surprised to see that noth- ing happened, she remained lying flat on the pillows. She felt if she sat up she could talk louder and then the sister would understand. She began again. “So if you don’t mind, I’d like to hold him, for a little while. I would be very care- ful of him.” But they didn’t speak English. “Bubchen—” She tried to hold out her hands, so that the sister would see that she wanted the baby. “No, no — schlafen sie — sleep, please!” Lily Lou made another attempt to reach out her hands. She wanted to push back the covers anyway. She was very warm. She had been too warm for a long time, but she could not tell them. They would not listen, The pale sister had come in, and was pushing back her sleeve, to put the needle into her arm, But she did not want to sleep now. There were things she wanted to say. “No!” she cried sharply, but they paid no heed to her. The rosy sis- ter brushed the wet dark hair from her hot-face. Lily Lou tried to push her away, too. “Bubchen ... if you'd just bring him back to me—” The sisters, the rosy one and the pale one looked at each other. The pale one shrugged. The rosy one pulled a big handkerchief from one of her many pockets, and blew her nose violently. But they did not bring the baby. “Well then, bring the Professor,” Lily Lou whispered, “Herr Doctor —I can talk to him. Herr Doe- tor—” He at least spoke English. He would make them bring the baby. “Herr Doctor,” the sisters echo- ed. They whispered. “Herr Doc- tor—” But Lily Lou found she could not: wait for him. Her leaden eyelids fell. Darkness came again! There was no time. Just light and dark. Sometimes they gave her cool things to drink, and then, for a lit- tle time she could float in the dark, and be at peace. There was a cradle song of Brahms, that Gwin had taught her. She thought that she was just sing- ing it silently in her heart, but she must have been singing it aloud, for the doctor and the sister, and Madame Nahlman stood at the foot of the bed, as if they were listen- ing. Lily Lou looked at them with in- terest. Madame Nahlman had been, crying. The mascara was running: in bluish streaks down her cream enameled cheeks. “She’s conscious! Darling, speak to Nita!” “Nein!” the pale sister said, shaking her head. ‘That was all the pale sister ever knew about anything. Wrong every time. Lily Lou wanted to tell her , and to sresk stout fematuing very important, but it some- thing to do with the baby, and that would be hard to explain, so she would not say it just now, because she was so tired. A little later, when she was not so tired, she would ask for him again, for her funny little baby, with ears like Ken's... Was she going to die? She won- dered, listening to them talk, the doctor, and Madame Nablman, next time she opened her eyes. She was very sick, she was sure of that. So sick that they did not bring the baby to her any more. Two other doctors had come. Fat men, both of them, with long-tailed coats. One had a beard. “Look at what you've done to that girl! She’should be as well as I am by now,” Madame Nahiman upbraided the doctor. If she had felt better she would have told them not to lean over her so much, and the day sisters, flus- tered and respectful, kept breathing on her neck as they passed things to, the doctors. But it was too much effort to speak. She just lay there. She was sorry that she was going to die, her mother would feel very bad... possibly she should do. something about the baby... but not now... she was too ti ago Once she heard Madame Nahl- man upbraiding Doctor Sanders. The loud, angry words seeped into her consciousness: “If this were in the States it would never have happened. Vien- na! Don’t talk to me about your wonderful surgeons! What good is surgeon without a decent hospital and a respectable trained nurse! What do these cows know about nursing! Look at what you've done to that girl. She should be as well as I am by now. -Bunglers! That’s other. It hurt Lily Lou’s head sa that she screamed, “Oh, don’t! Please don’t!” The rosy sister eame to the bed- side, shaking it so that Lily Lou cried out again. And presently it was quiet. Everyone had gone. Very slowly Lily I.ou went over it in her mind, She was sorry for Herr Doctor Sanders. He would be hurt, not understanding that Ma- dame Nablman never meant all the mean things she said. But he said... he said he would cable... cable... to her peo- ple : Lily Lou sat straight up in bed. Her mind was suddenly clear and keen. “Get that man back!” she called authoritatively, to the gaping sister. “Professor! Herr Doctor! No, no let me alone. Call him! Quick!” The rosy sister rushed to support her. “It is the end,” she whispered in her guttural tongue. “Ach!” The pale sister fied. . . “I won't have my le cabled to! Madame Nabinan oon Prom. ised me — you promised you wouldn’t ever tell them—” “Now, now—just to lie quiet, blease!” the doctor begged. “Now you feel better. Isn't it so? No?” “I won't be quiet. I'll get worse if you cable.’ Il die—1]—r11—_” “Darling, we won't. I won't let him—’ Now quiet, “No, blease.’ “Shh!” the sisters whispered, fin- gers to lips, “Shh!” Madame Nahlman was on her knees by Lily Lou’s bedside. “She’s better!’ she whispered to the doc- tor, “I know it. Lily, cherie, you are better? I knew it—” To i Conyright br Kine Veataies Syadlaat, Ia. was sick! But no, they had been kind, even if they had brought her sausage when she wanted ice ‘water. It wasn’t their fault... Presently she heard the doctor blaming Madame Nahlman. “What kind of crazy business is it!” was asking. “Bringing that girl all over the country like that? With no medical attention. Nothing! What kind of crazy business do you call that? A girl all skin “and bones, ready to get any infection that blows her way. Then you— YOU! blame it on me. But you will not. I will write. I will cable her people. I will explain. The full medical report—” “What? You dare to tell me—! Oh! Look here, you quack—” They were shouting at each no cables. s—
