In itself, the message was simple enough. It said, “Attaboy, Jimmy,” Member of The Associated Press The Associated Press is exclusively stage, the stage hands rest. Chorus girls getting $35 a week may make two or three complete changes of costume while the eet shovers, paid $75 and up, read their pulp- paper magazines. After about hal an hour, say, the curtain comes down and the stage hands leap into action for ten minutes. One man picks up a chair and puts it there; another picks up a lamp and puts it here; another spreads a rug; a fourth man hands out cigarettes to be smoked in the next act, and so on. These men are called “props.” - Another group of men, called “grips,” are the clearers and opera- tors who shove the scenery into place. Very highly specialized. For instance, the men who hands out cigarets wouldn’t dare touch a rope or a piece of scenery. And a scenery man would jeopardize his job if he were to straighten out a mussed rug. * 8 8 A Man of Parts The Gilbert and Sullivan revivals, especially well received this season, have been presented as usual by Mr. Milton Aborn, who is 70 and cele- brating his fiftieth year in the the- atre.

The Democrats, apparent- ly, have enough faith that the pro- ject will go through to want to put themselves in line to take the credit for it. And who knows but they will have it coming. Despite the prospects at the beginning of the special session there is no indication that our con- gressional delegation stands very highly with the group which is going to apportion and administer this money. wasteful competition and bad working conditions, and if they do not do so the government will do it for them. In transportation, however, as far as he government is concerned, the railways and their employes will con- tinue to suffer from the competition of unregulated water and motor transport paying wages which in many cases are the merest fraction of those of the railways. Moreover $400,- 000,000 is to be spent on additional highway construction, with no assur- ance that a large part of it will not be If the Democrats of North Dakota|used for heavy-duty highways paral- can make valid claim to causing the leling the railways.

Beer Vote Looms If Governor Langer carries out the promise made to the advocates of the legalized sale of beer in this state, we shall have a rather important election in the not ditsant future. The change proposed in the ini- tiated petition unquestionably is a desirable one. It is an open secret that anyone who wants the new 3.2 beer can get it now. So far as ap- control of highways and inland water- way transportation. There is also evi- dence of a lack of understanding which has led to errors of a more Positive nature, namely, the continued overinvestment in transportation fa- cilities. We have already mentioned the 400 million dollar appropriation for roads, with no safeguards to pre- vent a large portion of this appropri- ation from being used, not in areas suffering from a lack of transporta- tion facilities, but in those suffering from an oversupply. No person is per- mitted to lay down a rail line wher- ever he pleases, simply because he has the money to do so. He must first Pears on the surface, no attempt is|convince the regulatory authorities being made to stop its importation|that the territory is not already ade- and distribution in this state. Le- gally a soft drink almost everywhere in the Union, beer is banned in North Dakota because of a fanatical defi- nition of what constitutes intoxicat- ing liquor. ‘Those who want it and who are getting it now, should have the op- quately served and that his project will cater to the public’s convenience and necessity. Yet a highway com- mission or the Army engineers may construct an arterial road or a water- way, as the case may be, if they can secure the money, without any showing whatever as to the transportation needs of the territory or the ade- quacy of existing facilities.

It is the old story of con- fronting a condition rather than a theory. No advocate of popular gov- ernment can argue against the jus- tice of the time-honored slogan “Let the people rule.” Advice to the Married In the ruling handed down recently “sy an advisory master in a New Jer- sey divorce case there is a little food for thought which a lot of married folk might profitably ponder over. A husband, in this case, sued for divorce because his wife occasionally caused him humiliation by drinking more than was good for her. The ad- visory master chosen by the court, after pointing out that the wife had reared a family for her husband, as- serted that the humiliation she caused him, “when weighed against the priv- ae joys and comforts of the rest of his married life, made forebearance ®& marital duty.” There is a little truth which every happily married couple knows very well. No two people can live together for years without hurting one another occasionally. Most married folk, how- ever, know something of the duty of forebearance. If they all did, the di- vorce courts would do a lot less busi- ness. Lindbergh and Dirigibles ‘When considering the future of the ‘United States navy’s work with dirig- ibles, it is instructive to consider testi- mony recently given before the con- gressional investigating committee by Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, “I feel,” said Colonel Lindbergh, “that it would be unwise and unsafe to stop development of lighter-than- air craft at this time. “Both lighter-than-air and heavier- policy for dealing with industry in general. If planned economy is a desirable policy then what are we to say of the St. Lawrence Seaway project, involv- ing an investment of hundreds of mil- lions of new capital designed to take traffic from railroads already built and used to less than half their ca- pacity? A more modern and efficient method of transportation which in justice should ‘supplant an_ older, wasteful agency? Not a bit of it; if the New York Central Railroad were freed of capital charges, freed of ad valorem taxes, freed of maintaining its roadway—if it were thus placed on accounting parity with the St. Law- rence Seaway—it could haul all the freight that the canal will haul at lower cost. Moreover, it would do the job infinitely more quickly and would be on duty 24 hours a day throughout the year, regardless of. fog or ice. The St. Lawrence Seaway threatens not only the loss of some of the invest- ment in the railways, but the further economic waste of transferring traffic from a more efficent agency to one which, fairly compared, is less effici- ent. No recognition has thus far been vouchsafed this important fact by those responsible for the government's industrial policies. Yet it must be recognized if we are to have ordered economy in transportation, such as is envisioned by the government for in- dustry as a whole. The conclusion is inescapable that, to establish economic planning in the transportation industry— 1, Commercial highway and water- way transport must be placed upon the same plane of self-support and taxation as the railways. 2. There must be similar control of rates and working conditions for all forms of transportation. 3. Overexpansion and destructive competition must be prevented by the control not only of new services upon, but of investment in highways and waterways, by the same authority which regulates such services and in- vestment by the railways.

RIGHT FOOT, LEFT FOOT, TOE FIRST THEN THE HEEL A writer purporting to be a “phys- ical culture expert” advises readers that in walking the heel should strike the ground first, then the ball of the foot. An instructor in physical education avers little of the kinesiology of gymnastics. (Kinesiology, we might explain for the benefit of plain folk, is the scientific study of muscular movements). The teacher goes on to explain that in walking the ball of the foot should touch the ground first and the heel an instant afterward. Scientifically and theoretically the teacher is right, I believe. But if you wear high heels it is almost impossible to walk naturally. The physical education teacher points out that if the heel strikes the ground first the step loses its elas- ticity and there is a shock of sudden impact transmitted from heel to hip and perhaps thru the spine up to the brain itself. Again I don’t know about the shock to the brain. I suspect that is just a notion conjured out of the atmosphere by a nimble witted salesman. It is enough to acknowledge that when the. heel strikes the ground first the step is robbed of its elasticity and its grace. So much for heels on shoes. No matter what the heels are made of or whether they are one inch or three inches high. If you must wear heels the lower the heels the better, for general health, comfort and grace of move- ment. But if you are accustomed to high heels it is better not to switch suddenly to low heels or heelless foot- wear. If you do you are likely to suf- fer an actual strain, much like a sprain of the tarsus or forefoot. Come down to earth by easy stages, having the heels lowered moderately, weak by week, till you get ‘em on the ground without discomfort. Girls who wear low heeled sport shoes or similar footwear as a rule, may put on the highest of heels for a heavy date, without ill effect. As long as they get back to their health footwear at least a few hours in the day the freak shoes will do no great harm. Likewise when women decide to change to low heels or heelless foot- wear, if they will get back on the stilts for a few hours each day, they will suffer less foot strain. The strain comes from the unaccus- tomed stretching of the heel cord and the unaccustomed flexion or bending of the joints in the tarsus or forefoot. To rest the feet, sit with the feet (not the legs) crossed at the instep, and let both feet rest on their outer borders on the floor. To strengthen the feet and oppose weak foot or flat foot, endeavor to walk toeing straight ahead or even toeing in a bit, and walk rather on the outer borders of the feet as tho you be bowlegged. As a general health rule, go bare- foot whenever you have the oppor- tunity—of course with due precaution against contracting ringworm (foot itch) about gymnasiums, swimming Pools, baths, or hookworm in southern regions where the ground is polluted.

Iron and Ammonium Citrate ‘You said to dissolve one ounce of iron and ammonium citrate in four ounces of water, add one grain of cop- per sulphate, and take one or two teaspoonfuls after each of the three meals daily and continue for two or three months. Do you mean an ounce of iron and another ounce of am- monium citrate? (Composite of Steen- teen Inquiries). Answer—No. Iron and ammonium citrate is the name of one iron com- pound.

By PAUL HARRISON New York, June 17.—Probably the most disgruntled man about Broad- way right now is Mr. John Golden, who has been having union trouble. It was Mr. Golden who produced the excellent comedy called “When La- dies Meet,” sent it on tour after a long run here, and brought it back to the rialto for the summer at prices ranging from 25 cents to $1. This last was widely hailed as a piece of worthy enterprise, since it pro- vided the customers with good stage entertainment at movie rates and promised employment for the cast during the lean months. To do all this, Mr. Golden got permission of Actors’ Equity Asso- ciation to pay stock company sal- aries, and of the stagehands’ local union to employ six men instead of the fourteen previously used. The show opened to good audiences and seemed all set for a stmmer-long run. But Mr. Golden had not consulted the International Alliance of Stage Hands, which protects the interests of the men who work the road shows. This organization ruled that “When Ladies Meet” was still technically a road show, and that it must hire a carpenter, an electrician and a property man at salaries of $100 a week, along with eleven other stage hands at lesser salaries. This rule could not be broken, said the Alli- ance, even if it meant the closing of the show and the throwing out of work of the six men who had been handling the situation with ease..-So the show closed. ss * Specialists, All It is by just such adamant stands that the stage hands have become The longest flight reported for a banded bird was made by a fledgling Arctic tern, which flew from Turne- vik Bay, Labrador, to Margate, Na- tal, in South Africa, | 1 First name of the man picture.
