Burdick as man- ager of the state mill and elevator speeds the time when a showdown must be had with regard to that in- stitution. To the general public the reasons steadier basis for grain values, As the government has fairly warned the grain exchanges, they must clean their own houses or the broom will be wielded for them. Prosperity Smoke Because cigarette and cigar manu- facturers declared good dividends (breaking all records in some cases) and the tobacco grower was left hold- ing the beg along with the wheat and cotton growers, the federal gov- ernment will reduce the next tobacco crop, pay the grower a bonus on his abandoned acres and collect a pro- cessing tax from the consumer. By this method it is hoped that the grower will obtain a fair price for his product through the elimination of surplus crops and that prosperity will 1.50| return to the tobacco fields and to the several states and parts of states largely dependent upon the weed. Fifty per cent of the tobacco acres must be taken out of production if the government's program is earried out to the letter. For each acre turn- ed to other uses the farmer is to be allowed $39 and is promised a much larger return if the experiment is successful, The smokes are on the house, which means they are on John Smith, taxpayer and ultimate consumer. He will pay a higher price for his to- bacco, to pay the processing tax to Pay the farmer. And will he complain? Not if it will enable the tobacco grower to hire more hands at higher wages, build new sheds and homes, buy more auto- mobiles and automatic refrigerators, end in other ways give the smoker for the effort to unseat O. L. Spencer as manager of the mill are a trifle obscure. At first glance it might seem that political antipathy inspired the efforts of John Husby and A. J. Gronna, members of the industrial commission, to effect his discharge. This theory fails, however, when it , 1s remembered that Husby, Gronna and Governor Langer are members of the same political group, jointly charged by the people with respon- sibility for this enterprise. The efforts lend credence to charges regarding operation of the mill which have been rumored frequently of late. One such report has to do with the handling of Red Cross wheat, but the details never have been officially dis- closed and until the full facts are given the public by responsible sources it is impossible for the average citi- zen to form a judgment. One thing the recent developments have done, however, is to place entire responsibility for the mill's success or and taxpayer more pennies with which to buy the smokes, The Little Fellow Pays Investigations of closed banks, which are bringing to light some of. the reasons for their collapse, reflect considerable credit on smaller bor- Towers for their integrity and their business judgment. By and large its seems to have been. the inability of banks to collect on a relatively small number of big loans which pulled them under. The so- called financiers, who required huge Sums of other people’s money to carry on their operations, were the ones who left the banks in the lurch. The little fellows, in much larger Percentage, stepped up to the line and paid off. ‘The condition was part and parcel of the era of frenzied finance, with its unwarranted expansions and its gigantic “deals,” for which depositors are now paying. Current revelations failure upon the shoulders of Gover- nor Langer. It is he who has insist- ed upon retaining Spencer, making free use of his veto power in order to do so, Should {t develop that incompet- ency or dishonesty exists at the mill, the governor will be forced to share the blame with whoever may be di- rectly guilty. The situation cannot long go on as it is now. The mill is an enterprise owned and operated by the people, through their elected agents, and they are entitled to know complete details of its operation. When all of the facts are known there should be a clearing of the atmosphere from which no honest man will suffer, Meantime, the average citizen can wonder if the legislature did a wise thing in yielding to the governor's re- quest that he be given the veto power over the other two members of the industrial commission, Husby and Gronna are men of proved skill and unquestioned honesty. Their opposi- tion to the governor's stand carries unusual significance because of their Personal reputations. So far all of the kicking has been| ai done under the covers. It is about time that the public be told the truth 50 it can join the melee if it cares to do so, Psychological Comeback Peers in the aii mar- Ket, recorded Thursday, were to be expected. It was inevitable that a Psychological come-back should be staged both by those honestly inter- ested in grain prices and the specu- lative fraternity. . ; Wheat is worth more than it now ‘is bringing in the nation’s mar- ~ ket places. Every competent observer knows it and many skilled prophets are frank to predict that doller wheat, pon a stable basis, is easily in sight, The situation of the last few days, however, emphasizes again the urgent need for reform on the part of the * grain exchanges. If they are to per- form the function which they claim justifies their existence, they must make the grain pits something more than gambling dens where profession- 41 speculators bet their money against, the next turn of the wheel. ;, This newspaper is well aware of the * arguments made by the grain trade in defense of present practices. Many of them are sound and there is no question but that a more efficient systetn of marketing grain would be difficult to develop. But these factors are outweighed by the handicaps which the set-up now imposes upon the man who actually "raises the grain. It is he who is en- titled. to first consideration and he isn’t getting it under conditions where the temperamental and emotional re- actions of gamblers determine what he shall get for his toll and invest- ment. Tt may be a bitter pill for the grain brokers to swallow, but we are ap- proaching the time when there will be leas unbridled speculation and a should do much to indicate to bank- ers where they can safely farm out their depositors’ funds. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors, They are published without re; to whether they agree or disa with The Tribune's policies, The Moppers-up (Washington Star) In a military campaign responsible duties are assigned to the moppers- up. After the first waves of attack are launched, the moppers-up follow in squads equipped with rifle and bayonet and hand grenades and comb the battlefield to make sure that all the enemy has been cleaned out by the storm troops. This is an impor- tant function, for the first lines of at- tack must push forward with all pos- sible speed toward the objective and lack the time for searching out con- cealed positions—once these have been ‘Passed. The moppers-up in the Blue Eagle campaign are now being organized for action. In some respects their part Promises to be the most intensely in- teresting of the whole campaign. The various generals, their eyes fixed on a definite objective, are publicly abjur- ing use of the word “boycott” and Some of them have banned the offen- ve term “slacker”—but this does not interfere with the moppers-up, who know what they must do. ‘The offensive has been launched and the Blue Eagle signs are a@ppear- ing by the scores of thousands. The lines move forward quickly. But how many “chiselers” have beeh left be- hind, cleverly concealed behind the spread wings of the Eagle? This, shortly, will be revealed. President Green of the American Federation of Labor has written to 30,000 local un- fons, asking that careful investigation be made of those who display the Eagle, and to report non-compliance With the rules for which it stands. In New York Matthew Woll, a vice President of the federation, announces ‘750,000 members of organized labor in the metropolis will become as many Policemen, to enforce observance of the recovery act. Potent forces, these. Make a man a keeper of his neigh- bor’s morals and you have a zealous worker, indeed, and when he is as- signed to check up on the shortcom- ings of ‘his employer, his labors will know no bounds. The individual moppers-up, of course, cannot expect to get very far unassisted. But from Gen. Johnson comes blunt promise that plenty of assistance will be ready. There will be a “clear cut, case,” he promises, and the un- fortunate individual who, provides it will be publicly shorn of his Eagle. ‘And that is going to be a sentence of economic death.” In other words, the moppers-up have been told that when some dark dugout is found still occupied, throw a hand grenade down the hole. Do not wait for abject sur- render of the hidden. Eagle is to be accepted as @ can: hurt who does not deserve it—but up will be so well disciplined they will not, in the fervor of battle and the excitement of carrying loaded economic massacre, without waiting for pronouncement of that carefully considered death” that Gen. Johnson has in mind. * Next to the United States, France, England. Canada, Germany, Austral- ia and Italy have the most autos, in the order named. |smatter the establishment, the big- ger the placard; there’s a big one on a tiny “atch-repair cubbyhole which couldn’t possibly hold more than one workman. There’s one, too, on a Fifty-seventh Street speakeasy, on a junk wagon, and on a cart of an Eighth Avenue fruit vendor ... In the teeming side streets of the garment district, though, there are still strikes and lockouts, picketing, and haranguing by cross-purposed ‘union organizers. Even these things, however, have a pleasant aspect or two; at least, they have brought ro- mance to Thirty-eighth Street. A young man, carrying a sign announc- ing that the workers of a certain fur- rier were on strike, observed and admired a pretty brunette, who bore @ placard declaring that she and sun- dry others had been locked out by @ millinery concern ... They paced the same sidewalk, these two,. passing each other so often that it finally seemed bad manners not to speak. After that they walked together, and talked of many things besides jobs and wages. You can see them there any day now, happily strolling hand in hand, and probably speculating on whether the New Deal will let them afford a little apartment up in the Bronx. ee STIRRINGS ON BROADWAY All in all, Broadway is pretty happy about the Administration’s code. A lot of shrewd showmen believe that more leisure for the people who are working is just what the doctor ord- ered for the theatrical industry ... Those untiring statisticians on the magazine Variety have calculated that the Rialto was 50 per cent dark last season, with eight theaters that didn't open at all. But the 1933-34 season looks brighter, even from this distance ... For example, there are no less than three big musicals scheduled for next month.

In practice I have observed that people who can and /do sleep well often have poor sleeping conditions and people who have excellent sleep- ing equipment are likely to suffer from insomnia of their own making. Irony, thinks the neurotic. In truth it is one of the fair deals of life. There is something on the conscience of the wretch who cannot sleep. It is astonishing, too, how many people insist on having and even go heavily in debt to have luxuirous comforts in an automobile which they enjoy for an hour or two a day, yet boggle at an investment of one- twentieth as much money for years of good sleep. It is hard to conceive why the living room, library or dining room should rate fine and costly fur- niture while the sleeping rooms are rather less inviting than those of a second rate hotel. In earlier lessons in this course all neurotics or so-called nervous wrecks were divided into two classes—the dumb and the crooked. There is no alternative for those who purport to have “weak nerves” or neurasthenia. They should be prepared to accept either A or B classification if they boast, complain or confess they suf- fer from insomnia. Adults over 30 ordinarily need eight hours of sleep. If they play, work or exercise much, particularly in the open air, they can do with nine hours in bed. If they live by their wits or as parasites on the labor, industry, thrift or indulgence of others, they need only six or seven hours sleep destroy the lice, but it seems a dis- agreeable treatment. I have observed @ less disagreeable treatment which rids school children’s heads of lice. Wet the tips of fingers with berga- mot and rub into the scalp in various parts. The lice will crawl out along the hair, where they can be readily removed. (Mrs. H. E. M.) Answer—Thank you. No doubt, Mrs, H. E. M. means oil of bergamot. Diathermy of Tonsil Six weeks ago I had my tonsils removed by surgery. One of the crypts is still inflamed. The doc- tor keeps applying iodin to it and says it is chronic and will take time to get well... (Mrs. M. A. J.) Answer —Diathermy_ will quickly sterilize the crypt. It might have been better to have the tonsils ex- tirpated with diathermy in the first Place. It is less blind work than the bloody method.

Answer—If you refer to a corre- spondence course, I do not advise it. If it is an actual training school for nurses, your family physitian would be the best one to ask about it.

Many sedentary adults enjoy excellent health on a six hour sleep schedule, plus an additional two hours of rest in bed, that is, rest waking. Fear of sleeplessness, like any other fear or worry or anxiety, is injurious to health. Worry about short sleep rations is a habit cultivated by neu- rotics. Instead of taking advantage of a wakeful hour or two to cogitate some pleasant problem or plan they dwell on their nefarious schemes or their sins or the peril of béing found out. They are troubled by a bad con- science in the dead of night. They yearn for dope to make them forget, to make them sleep.

Broadway has gone very red-white- and-blue ... Even up at Columbus Circle the communist orators seem to have bedecked their soapboxes with more flags than usual, and to have tuned down their denounce- ments of the “American Facisti” ++. The Blue Eagle isn't everywhere yet, but he’s coming along. And the 7 Siar So gow Reis one shir on the tunes for “As Thousands Cheer,” which will satirize these days of the rumored upswing. Marilyn ‘Miller, Clifton Webb and Ethel Wa- ters are among the principals ... The very mad Joe Cook, together with the unchastened Dave Chasen, Har- riet Hoctor and others are galloping through rehearsals—in two theaters—of the piece to be called “Hold Your Horses.” This is to be a near-Victorian bit about Dia- mond Jim Brady, “Nigger Mike's’ saloon, Rector’s and other people and places of once-upon-a-time... Best news of all about the Cook show is that Jotinny Green has written the music. The handsome, rood ae thoroughly modest, Mr. Green, who wrote “Night Club Suite,” reminds you ef George Gershwin. And his music, it’s said, even reminds Mr. Gershwin of Gershwin ... The third early musical is, as usual, the opus of Earl Carroll. Only this time he'll combine mystery and nage! or ecto- asm and epidermis, litied “Murder at the Vanities.” Be- tween each homicidal act the cus- tomers will be entertained by Rufus King, Olga Baclonova, Jean Adair and many lovely ladies . .. Z Marked “indefinite,” but also on the future book for September, are the “Ziegfeld Follies of 1933,” to be produced by Miss Billie Burke and the Shuberts, and George White's al- most annual “Standals.” Mr. White is trying to lure Mae West to ster in it, but if it comes to a luring con- test, Mr. White may find himself in Hollywood instead ...

It was rather thrilling to think, while she and Aunt Pam were chatting of inconsequential things, that only) last night she and Aunt Pam’s hus- band had kissed. And maybe at the same time he was thinking about it and wishing to kiss her again right while he sat there beside his wife. It made her feel worldly, a little blase. She saw herself as one of, those beautiful vampires who go around breaking up homes, then]; till the fruit cocktail, the soup and entree had been disposed of did she achieve it. “How was the golf today, Jim- mie?” she asked, cudgeling her] ang brain for something brilliant to say. “Didn’t play,” he said quite calmly. “Started to, but took a walk instead. That silenced her. But maybe he didn’t walk alone. This worried her. Finally she said: “Who'd you walk with?” She was instantly furious at herself. Maybe he’d think she ested to quizz him like that. “Went alone,” he replied. Her heart sang. He went so he could think of me. .,. But maybe he was thinking of what a little fool I was last night, and afraid T'd expect him to kiss me again, and he didn’t want to. Her face burned at this thought. She hated him as she never sup- posed she could hate anybody—not even a—snake, She began talking to Pamela about her after-lunch walk, men- tioning freely the boys who were along, recounting the conversation of one of them as if it were a mas- terpiece of brilliance and wit.
